Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  I te raumati o te tau 2003, i hopukina e te tari o te kaitiaki o Eagle, Colorado, a Bryant i runga i te tirotiro i te amuamu mo te tukino i te wahine i tukuna e tetahi kaimahi hotera 19-tau-tau. I noho a Bryant ki The Lodge and Spa i Cordillera i Eagle County i mua i tana pokanga i te turi e tata ana. I kī te kaiwhakapae i tūkinotia ia e Bryant i roto i tōna ruma hotera i te pō i mua i te tukanga o Bryant. I whakaae a Bryant ki te tutaki moepuku ki tana whakapae engari i whakakahore ia i tana whakapae mo te whakaeke moepuku.Ko te whakapae i whakapoke i te ingoa o Bryant, a kua heke te whakaaro o te iwi ki a ia; i whakamutua ana kirimana tautoko me McDonald's me Nutella. I tino heke te hoko o te koti tāruaruatia a Bryant mai i o rātau teitei o mua. Heoi, i te marama o Hepetema 2004, i whakarerea te take o te tukinga e nga kaituku i muri i te kore o te kaiwhakapae ki te whakaatu i te whakawa. I muri mai, i whakaae a Bryant ki te muru ki a ia mo te kaupapa, tae atu ki tana mea hara a te iwi: "Ahakoa e tino whakapono ana ahau ko tenei tutaki i waenga i a maatau i whakaaetia, ka mohio ahau inaianei kaore ia i kite, kaore hoki i kite i tenei kaupapa i te huarahi ano i mahia e au. I muri i nga marama o te arotake i nga kitenga, i te whakarongo ki tana roia, tae atu ki tana whakaaturanga i a ia ano, ka mohio au inaianei ki tana whakaaro kaore ia i whakaae ki tenei tutaki". I whakawakia e te kaiwhakawā tētahi kerēme ā-iwi motuhake ki a Bryant, ā, i whakatauhia e ngā taha e rua i waenganui i a rāua anō.  Pātai: I tēhea tau i hopukina ai a Bryant mō ngā amuamu tukino ā-waha?
