In "Part 2," Collin and Bryn talk to reporters Carla Rogner and Libby Cathey about new details revealed in court records. This includes birth certificates that revealed all of the children were born in hospitals and a truancy court order that reveals some insight into possible schooling for the children. The special also addresses questions of if the mother is a victim, after those hospital records revealed she had been pregnant nearly every year since she was 15 years old.
