Rodeo was like a dream for her. Definitely. She said, Hey, have you heard anything from Brittany? Her phone was off. I started getting a little panicky. I just kept thinking, there's no way that this is real. She stood up for herself and people didn't like that. So she had actual enemies at age 15, 16? Mm-hmm. Did your mind ever go to those girls that had battled with her at the rodeo? Yeah, there's one girl I was thinking of. He was a rodeo guy. They might have been DMing. She was really into him. He said he saw her with a cowboy. They were both standing outside the truck. The messages were horrible. By now, lab results were back on the condom found at the scene. There was a DNA match, and it was to Bryce. You told me before that you and Brittany had never been intimate in this actual way. No. Okay. What if I said I had evidence that shows that that might not be accurate either? I'm not lying. I've never kissed. I've never had sex with Brittany. Bryce kept denying. Detectives kept pushing. You want him to admit to it, right? You want a confession. Correct. I want him to tell me the truth, and I want him to tell me the truth in his own words.We have Brittany's DNA, we have your DNA, and we have a condo. That can't be. It is. I've never had sex with Brittany. I swear. I've never had sex with Brittany. People lie. Dna doesn't. Faced with that, Bryce Dickey changed his story again. Brittany was I think that was the only time Brittany was being really flirty for some reason throughout that day. Bryce finally told investigators he and Brittany did have a sexual encounter after all. And he said they both instantly regreted what they'd done. They got really quiet in the truck. Just didn't quite feel right. Then, Bryce said Brittany asked him to drop her off to meet that friend nearby. So you're still expecting us to believe that you dropped her off in her body, you continuously appeared where the condom and condor record were by some strange frequencies? I did not kill Brittany. Though Bryce denied having anything to do with the murder. Detectives also had his DNA from that chewing tobacco found at the crime scene. That definitely eliminated just about everybody else in the country from being a suspect. Go ahead, stand up and place Detectives felt they had enough. Bryce Dickey was charged with the murder and sexual assault of Brittany Yulaki.I think I went dumb with shock. I didn't think he could defend his own self in a fight, let alone hurt somebody. A lot of people around here were shocked. One of them wasn't. They brought us into the back and sat us down. The first words out of my mouth was, It was Bryce, right? They said, Yep. Bryce Dickey's trial began in May 2022. Prosecutors laid out their case, a story of a sexual assault turned homicide. Elko County DA, Tyler Ingram. What do you think happened? Unfortunately, or maybe even fortunately, we'll never know exactly what happened. But I know that the evidence supported that Brittany and Bryce went out there willingly. This was no abduction? This was no abduction. I think Bryce didn't get what Bryce wanted, and he took it into his own hands. Kara Ashby thinks Bryce did not enjoy life in the friend zone. Brittany saw him as a brother, and he had come on to her, and she did not see him in that way. And just something happened, and he snapped. Hard to be in the courtroom with Bryce? Oh, yeah. Jim Yalaki sat in court. He was endlessly and homicidially furious.I had it completely timed out. There's a guard over there. There's a guard over there. He's right there. How quickly can I get there? I can get there. I can put my finger through his trick. I can do all this in three seconds. I just kept saying, You can't. You're going to run this trial. Don't do nothing. Bryce Dickey's defense attorney, Gary Woodbury, argued the prosecution's case was circumstantial and said scientific evidence around Brittany's time of death contradicted the prosecution's timeline. He told the jury that all prosecutors could prove was a sexual encounter. The sexual relations, from my point of view, at least, appeared to be almost certainly consensual on her part. So if Bryce was lying, it was out of embarrassment. Well, it was out of protecting Brittany. Brittany and he were very close friends. The evidence of that was overwhelming. After 10 days of trial, A jury found Bryce Dickey guilty of murder and sexual assault. Alicia has these words for Bryce. I will forever, as long as I'm breathing, I'm going to remind the world of the evil that you are, the evil that you embody, and the beautiful, brilliant light that you saw from this world.Bryce Dickey's sentence Life in prison. He will be 64 years old before he's eligible for parole. Jim took us up here in the hills outside of Spring Creek, where Brittany loved to ride. Her ashes are scattered here. Yes, back here at the pastor up there. You don't go there? No. I can't. It's enough to know that she's near you. Yeah. When I'm ready to accept she's gone, then I'll probably go up there more. But right now, it's not good for me. There is no justice. She's not coming back. That's all for this edition of Dateland. We'll see you again Friday at 10:00, 9:00 Central. And of course, I'll see you each weeknight for NBC Nightly News. I'm Lester Holt for all of us at NBC News. Good night.
