In interrogation video from 14 years ago, obtained by WTVM, Jimmy Brooks told investigator Taylor that Michael Carruth was the mastermind.



"He (Carruth) says OK, he says I did this one. Next one's yours," Brooks said while being interrogated in Russell County.



"It's crazy to think about he (Butch) survived that night," Sheriff Taylor said.



Bloodied Butch Bowyer told them where to find his son.



"Open field, you walk up and see a little boy in his jeans, lying there bloodied and muddied," Russell Co. District Attorney Kenny Davis described the scene from 2002.



At that time, Christy Dawson was a 1st year teacher at Glenwood School in Russell County.



"Brett was in my class, full boy, rambunctious, precious," said Dawson, who was Brett Bowyer's 6th Grade teacher.



She was coaching softball when she got the shocking news about the 12-year-old murdered.



A tearful Dawson said, "I walked back into my babies (students) and Brett wasn't there. We had to explain to our 6th graders that their classmate was gone."



She remembers things like Brett dancing with his girlfriend at the Valentine's Dance just days before. To this day, his father visits Glenwood School regularly.



"Butch comes every December and brings me a check," Dawson said.
