01x05 - Mean Rodeo Queen

[bunniefuu]

[distant crowd cheering]

You have to have
the best of the best.

She didn't want attention
being taken away from her.

This is just a stab
in everyone else's back.

I can guarantee,
I've read every mean comment.

I've seen them all.

MILLER: Mummified bones
and body parts,

twisted and mangled.

It was a most
horrific discovery.

[Jena Thompson speaking]

If she hated you,
she always hated you.

GOODSON: If looks could have
k*lled, I wouldn't be sitting

here today,
I promise you that.

[theme music playing]

[indistinct shouting]

Texans love rodeo.

We breathe rodeo.

We eat rodeo dirt and dust,
like, we love the sport

of rodeo.

It really is a way of life
in small towns of Texas.

NARRATOR: But there's
one rodeo contest that can

be more cutthroat
than the rest --

the Rodeo Queen Pageant.

MARTINEZ: Just like regular
beauty competitions,

competitors have teased hair,
rhinestone clothes,

and beautiful makeup,

but they're riding a horse
about 20 to 30 miles an hour,

all while staying pristine.

FRAZIER: The bigger the rodeo,
the bigger crowd they draw,

the more competitive

the queen's competition
is gonna be.

ANDERSON: This is a competition,
and this can lead to jealousy,

backbiting,
and manipulation.

Winning is the goal.

They're not there to lose
or be runner up.

[cheers and applause]

There is a little bit of
cattiness between contestants,

just kind of the little
whispers that you hear.

Oh, her pants don't fit
correctly

or her hat
isn't shaped right.

Behind the scenes,

it's either I'm gonna win
or you're going to win.

Either I've got a good outfit,
or you've got a good outfit.

Either I've got the skills,
or you've got the skills.

If you're gonna do something,
do it right,

or don't do it at all.

[cheers and applause]

NARRATOR:
And budding rodeo queen,

Camie Frazier, seems to have
all the right stuff.

My sister was very popular
growing up.

She was the girl that was very
outgoing and always talkative.

She was a girl that all
the boys wanted to date,

a little bit on the wild side,
but she was a good person.

She was beautiful,
talented, and skilled,

but she could also
be ruthless.

NARRATOR: Camie comes from
Dalhart, Texas,

a tiny town in the panhandle.

Her family's been ranching
here for decades.

Joel and Donna were more of
a working-class family.

There are five in my family --
my dad, my mother,

my sister, my brother,
and then I'm the youngest.

We were raised
to be competitive.

We were raised to be winners,
you know?

GOODSON: Everybody
around town knew them.

They was well-liked,
you know?

My dad took care of cattle,
and he'd help anybody

with anything.

My mom was always trying to
open a new business

or start something in Dalhart
that hadn't been there before.

NARRATOR: From an early age,
Camie seems to

come alive in front of
an audience.

Donna started taking Camie
to small girl beauty pageants.

Little Miss X,
Little Miss Y -- fun,

they got to dress up,

Camie got to put her hair up
and wear makeup.

Very young,

starting at age five or six,
she enjoyed riding horses.

So it kind of became
a natural progression

to roll Camie into
the Rodeo Queen circuit.

She transitioned into
the Rodeo Queen competition

around the age of 12 or 13,
when she was

crowned the Matador Queen
in Channing, Texas.

Camie keeps winning
and keeps moving up,

so she's got more attention.

She's got more success.

It feels good to get up there
and to be winning.

She was perfection.

NARRATOR: Camie is a natural
and the apple of her daddy

Joel's eye.

MILLER: Joel takes the family
around and is kind of

the transportation manager
as they continue moving up

the pageant queen ladder.

GOODSON: I felt like they had
a real special relationship,

father and daughter.

Every time you'd see Joel,
you would see Camie.

NARRATOR: And in 1993,
when Camie is 14,

Joel and Donna welcome their
third child, daughter, Jamie.

My sister and I were really
close when I was little,

partly due to the fact that my
mom was gone a lot at the time.

Donna's mom, uh,
develops cancer.

Donna needs to be away from

the family for extended
periods of time.

And Camie steps in and helps
with Jamie, almost like Camie

was giving Jamie the love
and attention

that Donna gave Camie

when Camie was that age.

My sister kind of had to step
into that role and, you know,

make sure I was dressed for
school, make sure that I was

picked up from school and --

because dad, I mean, dad
was there, but he had to work.

NARRATOR: In 1996, juggling
responsibilities at home

and schoolwork
as a high school junior,

Camie is crowned
the Queen of Dalhart's

highly competitive
XIT Rodeo.

I was actually the right age
to run for Little Miss XIT,

the pageant for
the smaller children.

And we were the first sisters
to ever be Queen

at the same time.

She always looked out for me
during all of that.

I had my sister there
to make sure nothing happened,

you know, if something
happened with my horse,

she was right beside me.

NARRATOR: But one title is just
the beginning for Camie Frazier.

Over the next three years,

she amasses
an impressive collection.

Joel drove her
across Texas and paid

thousands of dollars
for equipment and clothing.

ANDERSON: There was
a high expectation for Camie,

and I think that everything sort
of revolved around her.

Camilla was on her way
to being one

of the best rodeo queens
in the state.

My sister went to run
for Miss Rodeo Texas.

To become Miss Rodeo Texas
is a big deal.

NARRATOR:
It's Camie's life dream,

and she goes after the title
with everything she's got.

But she doesn't win.

You put all this effort
into it,

and now you were
supposed to win.

I think it's sort of
just who am I?

Where do I go from here?

You're going back
to good old Dalhart, Texas,

population 8,000.

I would think it would be
a big letdown.

NARRATOR: Even if Camie
wants to compete again,

she can't --
at 24,

she's about to reach
the age limit for

the Miss Texas Rodeo pageant.

Once you age out,
you're kind of a has-been.

Boom, that cut-off is there,
there are no Mrs. Rodeo

of anybody, there's no
Grandma Rodeo of anybody.

You're the Rodeo Queen,
and that's it.

FRAZIER:
She was pretty well lost.

NARRATOR: But as the spotlight
fades on Camie,

it's just starting to shine on
her younger sister, Jamie.

Jamie loved the horses,
she loved ropin',

you know,
so she stayed with it.

NARRATOR: And as Jamie
steps onto the stage,

her sister turns
her back on her.

All of this work that Camie
has done with Donna

and with Joel
to get the success

and be the center of attention
of the family,

now,
there's a younger, newer,

brighter girl doing the same
thing with her father,

that must really hurt.

FRAZIER: She wanted to be
the -- the leader,

the outgoing shining one.

NARRATOR: Jamie doesn't let
her sister's resentment

deter her from pursuing
her rodeo ambitions.

GOODSON:
Jamie wanted to be the best,

and Camie wanted
to be the best.

And, you know, so there was
a lot of competition.

NARRATOR:
Jamie's hard work pays off

in 2009 when, like
her big sister before her,

she becomes the XIT
Rodeo Queen,

much to her father's delight.

Me and dad really bonded
over roping.

It was something that we both
really enjoyed to do.

I think Camie's
perception was

they're competing
for their parents' approval.

NARRATOR: With Jamie stealing
her thunder at the rodeo

and at home, Camie finds a new
way to spend her time, partying.

GOODSON:
Camie was a lot wilder,

a lot more outgoing
than what Jamie was.

WEBB: She would go out
to parties and drink,

probably heavily.

Camie drove
a white Hummer and you always

knew when Camie was coming,
because you can see

the white Hummer
definitely speeding.

She acted like she was maybe
a little bit better than,

you know,
Jamie or me or whatever.

I know Joel was having
a hard time with it.

There was several fights
over her,

you know, that I know of.

NARRATOR: Camie's partying
slows temporarily

when she gets pregnant...

...though she never
reveals the name

of her son Tommy's father.

My sister loved her son,
but at the same time,

she was too busy trying
to live a fun life.

NARRATOR: Then, in 2011, Camie
marries an old college flame,

jack-of-all-trades, Kory Tidrow.

They had known each
other previously

from her stint at Texas Tech
in college.

Kory Tidrow isn't the prince
charming that you would

hope your daughter meets
and falls in love with.

But he caters to her.

She enjoys that attention.

FRAZIER: I mean, he's married
to my sister.

I wouldn't say part of
the family.

He was always just out
on the outskirts and never

wanting to come join
the rest of us.

Sometimes, you just meet people
you just don't like.

And he was one of them.

He wasn't a cowboy.
That's all there is to it.

NARRATOR:
Life in Dalhart rolls on with

the sisters growing farther
and farther apart.

Then tragedy strikes
when Donna succumbs

to a rare liver disease
she's been struggling with.

My parents were married
for 36 years when

my mother passed away
in September of 2015.

My dad took it the hardest,
I think,

because you think about it,
kids are --

you're meant to lose
your parents at some point

in your life --
for him,

he never thought my mom
would be the first to go,

and he didn't really know
what to do.

He'd never been
without her.

My sister felt like
he was the reason that

she passed, because he put
my mother in hospice.

There was no
having a logical

conversation with her
about things like that.

If she was upset,

you couldn't get
through to her.

NARRATOR: After Donna's death,
Camie, Kory, and Tommy move

into the family home,

so Camie can keep
an eye on Joel.

And newly graduated
from college,

Jamie comes back to Dalhart.

I didn't intend
on moving home,

but I came home, and I felt
like I needed to stay

to kind of help
take care of my dad.

NARRATOR: But as a recent
widower in town,

Joel seems to have lots of new
lady friends who want to help

ease his grief.

FRAZIER:
I was really uncomfortable

with my dad dating --
it really made me mad.

It really felt like he was
trying to replace mom.

NARRATOR:
Joel's active dating life

especially rattles Camie,
who still lives

in the family home with him.

I was upset, but my sister
really got extra upset,

and anything she could do
to thwart him

doing anything that did not
involve staying at home,

she would do.

ANDERSON:
I think she was jealous,

and she didn't want attention
being taken away from her

and her sister
and any money to be going

in that direction either.

NARRATOR: And things
in this rodeo family

are about to go from tense...

to downright scary.

On July 14, 2017,
Jamie Frazier

walks into the Dalhart
Sheriff's Office.

She wants to report
her father missing.

NARRATOR: By 2017, Jamie has
her own place across town,

leaving her fuming sister,

carousing father, and his lady
friends to their own devices.

But now that he is a man
about town, that could be

causing some serious trouble

with one of the women
in his life.

Jamie Frazier tells police
she hasn't seen her father,

Joel, in three days,

when she was at the family
home to help with a sick horse.

She says she returned Thursday
morning, and her dad's truck

was there, but he wasn't.

His shaving kit
was on the floor.

His belt buckle was there.

And as I'm walking back out,

I notice his hat's hanging
behind the front door,

and I'm like,
well, that's odd.

So Friday,
I come back to the house.

He's still not there,
and nothing's moved.

His hat is still
in the same spot.

His truck's still here.

Everything's still untouched.

I saw my sister, and I told her,
"I can't find dad."

I just, I had a feeling
something's not right.

And I said, "I'm gonna go to
the police department."

There's no way he just
disappeared into thin air.

The chief of police said he
wanted to go and do

a "knock and talk"
at Joel Frazier's house.

NARRATOR:
Camie, her husband, Kory,
and her son are all home

when police arrive.

OFFICER: Okay.

We're trying to find
Joel's habits.

Uh, what -- what they could
tell us more in depth.

TOMMY:
Usually -- usually...

After my mom died, he started
drinking a little more heavily,

quit eating so much.

When we initially
made contact at the house,

Camie was in the shower.

OFFICER: Oh.

CAMIE: I'm sorry.

They were very cooperative,

allowed us into Joel's room,

gave us information
on what he did

the last night everybody saw
him, which I believe was

the 12th,

and Camie told us that
he wasn't feeling well.

OFFICER:
Okay.

WEBB: Camie told us that Joel
was possibly with a girlfriend,

and they went off

on one of their weekend
adventures that Joel

was known to take.

There was little concern,

uh, that they hadn't
been able to speak

to Joel for several days
at this point.

FRAZIER: After we had made our
report at the police station,

we started knocking on doors.

We went down the neighboring
streets, asking neighbors,

"Hey, have you seen Joel?
Have you seen my dad?"

Then we started going
different places in town

we know --
we'd go to hotels,

and after going to as many
places as we could think to go,

we started looking
through places that

maybe he wandered off
and fell down.

Oh, I actually took
a horseback and went

over and rode some of
the canyons and stuff.

You know, if you see a bunch
of crows flying around an area,

you -- [indistinct] there's
something dead, so...

you know, you kind of
ride towards that area,

hoping you don't find
what you're looking for.

FRAZIER:
I mean, we looked...

in places that you wouldn't
even think to look,

and every day,
it just got a little harder.

NARRATOR:
The tiny Dalhart Police
Department doesn't have

the resources to launch
a broad investigation

for a missing person.

We reached out to the Texas
Rangers for their assistance.

SWICK: I was requested
to come in and assist

the Dalhart Police Department
with the disappearance of

Joel Frazier
on July 19th of 2017.

NARRATOR: Ranger Swick
starts by interviewing

the family
at the police station.

NARRATOR: While her concern
for her dad is evident,

Camie also complains about
Joel's continuous drinking.

SWICK: Camie would paint
a picture in not so many

nice ways that Joel
was a drunk and never around

and never dependable.

Kory's essentially
backing up Camie's story of

Joel may be on a bender.

NARRATOR:
Investigators next reach out

to the other women
in Joel's life,

and one has
a juicy nugget to share.

My dad started
hanging around Gayle Maness.

I wouldn't say per se
that he was dating her,

but they were --
they were drinking buddies.

Gayle says she went
over to the house to

try and see Joel after Jamie
says he was missing.

NARRATOR: But Camie was
the only one home.

NARRATOR: All the more reason
for her dad

to find better
company elsewhere.

So we have a missing person,
we had made a poster,

a missing person poster,
if you will,

and posted it online.

[cellphone notification]

Jamie gets a text from, uh,

an unknown person with
a Pennsylvania phone number.

And it said, "We know
where your dad is."

We were sitting
on the front porch of one

of the family friends,
and my phone goes off.

[cellphone notification]

It's a text, and it said that,
"We have him,

pay us this much money,
and we'll return him."

I was just terrified,
and immediately,

I called
the sheriff's department.

NARRATOR: Jamie then
begins texting with

her dad's alleged captor.

I asked things like,
"Send me a picture of him.

"Show me that he's okay.

"I'll send you however much
money you want,

but I want to know
that he's okay first."

But the kidnapper says
they'll only send

a picture if she sends
$1,000 first.

Ultimately, we were
able to track that IP

for that phone number
to a European country.

It was somebody
who was trying to scam her.

SWICK: Unfortunately,
there's multiple people in

different European countries
that, in this case,

more than likely saw
the missing person poster on

Facebook and played off of that
to try to get free money.

NARRATOR: It's a devastating
blow to Joel's family.

All I could think of was
they've got to find something.

There's gotta be a clue.

There's no way he just
disappeared into thin air.

That's not possible for anyone
to disappear into thin air.

For the first 10 days or so
after reporting him missing,

I was really confident
that maybe he was

just off with a friend,
that he'd come home.

I didn't want to embarrass him,
you know what I mean?

So, like if he came home,

I didn't want to have
this huge onslaught of people

looking for him, and then
turns out he was just

with his new girlfriend
at a casino or something.

NARRATOR:
In dire need of new leads,

investigators dig deeper
into Joel's

last steps before
he went missing.

Joel is good friends
with Samuel Sifuentes,

who is involved in the XIT Rodeo
and Reunion Club with Joel.

SWICK: Sam Sifuentes tells us
that, on the 11th,

as he's heading out
to what's called

the XIT Roping Arena
there in Dalhart,

he passes by Joel Frazier
going the opposite direction.

And he gets
to the roping arena,

and the next thing he notices
is that Joel's grandson,

Tommy, is there, and Tommy is
working the chutes, being a --

being a little boy.

NARRATOR: Sammy says that Tommy
wanted to stay at the rodeo.

So he offered to drive the boy
home later that evening.

So when Samuel
drops off the grandson,

he notices that Joel
is not there.

SWICK: Sammy couldn't tell us
anything about where

Joel was at
or what happened to him.

But what's more important is,

he didn't see Joel
at the house.

NARRATOR: With growing concern
for Joel's safety,

Rangers grill the Frazier's
neighbors, including

Benjamin Buck.

His family owns
the meat processing

plant across the street
from the Fraziers,

and he now lives in the back
of the meat processing plant.

MILLER: Benjamin Buck
doesn't have any information

about where Joel might be,
but he does drop a bombshell,

an ugly rumor about
the Frazier sisters

that's been
circulating around town.

NARRATOR:
Joel Frazier's disappearance

in July of 2017 has put

his whole family and their
secrets under the microscope.

It came up that Jamie
might not be Joel's

biological daughter.

SWICK:
Sometime after Donna's death,

there was an argument
over possessions.

And, uh, in that --
and when I say fight, it was --

it was it involved Joel
and Camie and Jamie.

And in that fight,
Jamie found out

she was not
this biological daughter.

Camie, by what I understood,
knew about it prior to.

Joel, of course,
knew about it.

But that's where it first
came to life for Jamie.

FRAZIER:
He's on my birth certificate,

and that's what I know,

and biological or not,
he was my dad.

Always.

NARRATOR:
But Camie insists that Jamie

is not a blood relative,

and investigators learn
that's not the only

source of conflict
in the Frazier family.

SWICK: Joel typically,
maybe one time,

favored Camie, if you will.

ANDERSON: Camie was accustomed
to having a lot of luxuries

and nice things that she didn't
have to pay for herself.

She had those handed to her.

But as time went on, Jamie had
a lot more to do with Joel,

and Joel relied on Jamie more.

And so I think
that hurt Camie.

I think there was
a lot of jealousy there.

NARRATOR: Joel was apparently
fed up with Camie

still expecting to be treated
like a queen.

Joel's attorney
tells us back in

April of 2017,
prior to his disappearance,

of course,
that Joel met with him

with the goal of
redesigning his will.

MILLER:
Before that time,

the will would have been that
all of the assets were split

equally with the kids.

Now, Jamie was going to be
the sole inheritor.

He said,

I'm gonna write up a will,

and I'm just gonna leave
everything to you.

And I told him,
"Don't do that.

That's gonna cause
a lot of problems."

And, of course, his --
his joking attitude,

he said, "It's my stuff.

I'll leave it to
whomever I want."

NARRATOR: When Camie gets wind
of her father's plan,

she loses it.

That made Camie so mad,
to think that Joel

was favoring a daughter that
might not be biologically his.

SWICK: The will was mailed to
Joel's residence multiple times,

according to the attorney,
to have

him sign the will, because it
doesn't become an official

document until he signs it,
and...

it never got signed.

NARRATOR: Nearly a month
after Joel vanished,

hope of a happy ending
is almost gone.

FRAZIER: My Facebook post, it
got shared like 70,000 times.

I kept updating it
to try to keep it fresh in

people's minds, you know?

What if he had mentally
lost it and was just walking

through a crowd --
maybe someone would see him.

But the longer it went on,
the more it was like...

we're not gonna
find him alive.

NARRATOR: That's when
a new witness finally

decides to come forward.

NARRATOR:
Jena Thompson, a lifelong
friend of the Fraziers,

remembers seeing Camie
and Joel on the front porch

of the house around the time
Joel disappeared.

NARRATOR: Already teeming with
resentment and jealousy,

did Camie take her rage

at her father too far
that night?

If so, there isn't a shred of
evidence to prove it.

We don't have a body or
knowledge of where Joel went to.

And we didn't have
what was believed to be

enough probable cause to
effect an arrest for

Joel's disappearance.

It gets pretty frustrating
at that point.

NARRATOR: But the investigation
gets a badly needed

push when a shocking tip
finally comes in.

We received some information
that Joel was m*rder*d,

and his body was burned up at

the incinerator
at the butchering plant.

NARRATOR:
The plant across the street

from the Frazier's home,
where witness

Benjamin Buck
lives and works.

The next day, we were able
to go and take a look at --

at this incinerator.

And once we got
the top off of it,

we were able to look down,
and I saw what I knew to be

a human skull.

And then
as I looked some more,

I could see what I knew to be
a human hand.

I could see what I knew to be,
because you

could read it, as Docker
house shoes on the feet

The morning that he was found,
I got a phone call.

What brand of house shoes
does your dad wear?

And, at some point
after that, I find out

that they have found
a body,

and the officers had to
explain to me that, um,

there wasn't much left
for me to see.

NARRATOR: Now all eyes
are on Benjamin Buck.

He was the only one
known to use the incinerator.

Myself and an FBI agent
who was with me

went and tried to find
Benjamin Buck.

NARRATOR: They finally
locate him off the property

and bring him in
for questioning.

Benjamin was
the longest interview

I've ever done as a Ranger,

but after that lengthy
interview, he cracked.

MILLER:
Benjamin tells investigators

that around 4 AM on July 12th,

he gets a call from Camie's
husband, Kory.

NARRATOR: He claims Kory asked
him to bring over a wheelbarrow.

And Kory said, "I need you
to go get some --

a sheet, some twine,
and come to the house."

He went on to say that
he grabbed those items

and then came to the back door
of the house.

He said he made his way from
the back door through

the kitchen
through the dining room,

which entered
into the living room.

SWICK: As I'm interviewing
Benjamin Buck,

other law enforcement were
able to find Camie and Kory.

They were actually gassing up
at a gas station in Dalhart

with items of clothing in
the car with them.

I'm not saying they were gonna
be going anywhere,

but it was -- that was
pretty telling to me.

And so at that point,
Camie and Kory

were detained
and separated.

FRAZIER: It was soon after
they found the body that

I had heard that Kory and Camie
had both been arrested.

My reaction at the time was...

just floored.

I mean, you don't want
anything to happen to

your family, but you really
don't want it to happen

at the hands of your family.

NARRATOR: With Camie
and Kory in custody,

investigators take Benjamin
to Joel's house.

So, Benjamin Buck agreed
to do a video walkthrough

of Joel's residence
and show us what he saw.

SWICK: He noticed blood
up on the ceiling.

He noticed blood
on the chair.

Camie and Kory
were trying to clean.

SWICK:
He says that they dumped, uh,

Joel from the chair
into the wheelbarrow,

and then they -- they being
Camie and Kory -- wheeled

the body the reverse way
out the back door

to the processing point.

NARRATOR: At the station
and under questioning,

the once poised
and glamorous

rodeo queen puts on a very
different performance.

OFFICER: Okay.

NARRATOR: With both Camie
and Kory pleading not guilty,

the prosecutor prepares
for a challenging case.

BARR:
I didn't have a g*n.

I didn't have DNA, and I knew
I didn't have fingerprints.

NARRATOR: And he'll be
facing off against a woman

who knows how to win over
an audience.

I believe Camie ultimately
was the ringleader

of what ultimately
happened to Joel.

She was the one that had
the anger against her father.

NARRATOR: The best hope of
nailing this mean girl --

get her co-conspirator
to flip.

BARR: I approached
Kory Tidrow to ask

if he would want
to sit down and talk

to us about his involvement in
the case and whether he would

testify against his wife.

NARRATOR: But Camie's grip
on Kory is too strong.

Still, Prosecutor Barr
believes Camie was

the ringleader and convinced
her husband to help.

Camie and Kory had a plan,

and -- to sedate Joel
through his milkshakes.

Camie would make
Joel milkshakes.

I think this has been
planned for weeks.

They were going to put um,
that diphenhydramine,

Benadryl, in --

in his milkshake
and put him to sleep.

Then Joel died from two g*nsh*t
wounds to the back of his head.

One b*llet
was going in this way,

and one b*llet was going in
this way.

That showed
that two people were

sharing in the sh**ting
of Joel.

Without a doubt in my mind,

Camie and Kory
both pulled the trigger,

um, and shot Joel Frazier.

I think at the end of
this whole investigation,

we have a situation involving
a daughter who is...

scorned.

Camie knew the will was
trying to be changed by Joel to

name Jamie the executor,

and Camie knew about it,
because she had opened

one of the letters.

And I think Kory,

in this position, was a husband
that would do anything for

his wife, including m*rder.

NARRATOR: Almost two years
later, Kory and Camie

are tried separately
for m*rder.

HOPPER: Obviously, this is
not somebody that

we want to associate with
rodeo queening.

She's not, you know,
the rodeo ambassador

and somebody that we truly
thought she was.

MAN: News channel 10's
Arianna Martinez joins us from

the Rita Blanca Coliseum with
the verdict and sentencing.

The jury unanimously found
Kory Wayne Tidrow guilty

of murdering Joel Frazier

and gave him a sentence
of life in prison.

So facing Kory
wasn't as hard, because...

he's nothing to me.

But facing my sister was...

it was hard, mostly because
she kept giving me this look

of pity, like she felt
so sorry for me,

and it really just
made me mad.

GOODSON:
I never felt like she had any

remorse or felt bad
about what happened.

I did not see it in her
at all.

So I just felt like there was
a lot of evil in there.

For Camie,
winning is the goal,

and she had to be at the top.

And when you really think
about it,

Camie took that
to the nth degree.

Camilla Frazier Tidrow
has been found guilty

of first-degree m*rder.

News Channel 10's
Arianna Martinez joins us

now live with the punishment
the jury has reached.

Camilla Frazier Tidrow has been
sentenced to life in prison.

FRAZIER: I'm not sure if
that was greed, jealousy,

pure hatred,

everything all at once.

The only thing
I can ever go back to

is the will and dad
leaving everything to me.

That's the only

answer that makes any sense,

but it still doesn't make
any sense, because it's not

something to k*ll over.

MILLER: The old rodeo queen
that is now a has-been

plotted, planned,
and m*rder*d her father,

it seems to me,
without remorse.

If you end up falling down
that rat hole of attention,

the world is all about me
by any way I can get there,

it's dangerous.

WOMAN: It's just kind of like
a stab in everyone else's back,

because you're supposed to be

a sisterhood, and you're
supposed to represent us

and the sport of rodeo
at all times.

Chris Goodson and I
actually came up with the plan.

We have a memorial team roping
every year, because that's --

that's what my dad
loved to do.

We turn a steer out, and we
just let it run down the arena.

That is definitely
the Rodeo Queen way of life,

caring, somebody that would be
willing to put forth and hold

his memory on forever,
as it should be.

FRAZIER: I want to forgive
my sister someday.

It's not today.

Today is not the day
I will forgive her, but...

at some point I want
to go to forgive her,

but not for her.

For myself,
so I can let go.
