At People Magazine
2
00:00:02,533 --> 00:00:03,634
we started reporting
on this story
3
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:08,367
because the killer got people
at their most vulnerable.
4
00:00:08,367 --> 00:00:11,166
He attacked people
in public, in broad daylight
5
00:00:11,166 --> 00:00:13,367
when they least expected it.
6
00:00:13,433 --> 00:00:14,800
[Jeff Truesdell]
For the family members
7
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:17,533
it's a case
that they lived with everyday,
8
00:00:17,634 --> 00:00:19,166
for the investigators
9
00:00:19,166 --> 00:00:21,166
it's a case
that they can't let go off.
10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,266
She was taken
to the back room.
11
00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:25,467
She was shot
in the back of her head.
12
00:00:25,467 --> 00:00:28,900
It appeared
to be "execution style."
13
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
All of a sudden there's two
other cases in the Midwest.
14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,467
All of a sudden there's two
other cases in the Midwest.
15
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:34,533
He's getting
his jollies off this.
16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,967
[Capt. Pat McCarrick]
It's a case that's
hundreds of miles wide,
17
00:00:38,967 --> 00:00:41,066
with suspects
from all over the country.
18
00:00:42,166 --> 00:00:46,066
Evil exists in our world and
it's on that video tape.
19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,233
Oh, my God! My God.
20
00:00:50,166 --> 00:00:53,066
No one knew when or where
he was going to strike next.
21
00:00:53,867 --> 00:00:55,700
[Cindy Brady]
Serial killers don't stop.
22
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,467
They just keep killing
and killing and killing.
23
00:00:58,467 --> 00:01:00,000
I may be the only survivor
of the I-70 Killer.
24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,900
I may be the only survivor
of the I-70 Killer.
25
00:01:12,367 --> 00:01:14,066
[theme music playing]
26
00:01:32,367 --> 00:01:33,734
[Mark] I'm Mark Magers
27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,533
and I'm Patricia Magers'
husband.
28
00:01:36,967 --> 00:01:38,634
She usually went by Trish.
29
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,467
We met at a dance hall.
30
00:01:41,467 --> 00:01:43,166
She was the tallest
female there,
31
00:01:43,166 --> 00:01:44,867
so I went and asked her
to dance.
32
00:01:44,867 --> 00:01:47,367
I said, "Do you know
how to swing dance?"
33
00:01:47,367 --> 00:01:48,533
She said, "Sure."
34
00:01:48,533 --> 00:01:50,100
And, uh, in time
35
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:51,734
with the music
I swung her out
36
00:01:51,734 --> 00:01:53,533
and she went out
over the bannister
37
00:01:53,533 --> 00:01:55,467
that surrounded
the dance floor
38
00:01:55,467 --> 00:01:57,467
and landed on the floor.
39
00:01:57,533 --> 00:01:59,066
I jumped over the bannister
40
00:01:59,066 --> 00:02:00,000
and I helped her up
41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:00,600
and I helped her up
42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,600
and I said,
"My goodness, are you okay?"
43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,800
And she was laughing
and I said, "I thought you
said you could swing dance,"
44
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:07,533
and she said,
"I thought I could."
45
00:02:09,734 --> 00:02:12,367
From the moment I saw her
I thought she was captivating.
46
00:02:12,433 --> 00:02:17,467
She was very, very pretty
and, and poised.
47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,634
She was intelligent.
48
00:02:19,634 --> 00:02:21,700
Uh, she was funny.
49
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:23,533
One of her girlfriends
confided in me
50
00:02:23,533 --> 00:02:25,900
that she had come back
to the table that night
51
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,367
and told them
that she'd found Mr. Right.
52
00:02:29,734 --> 00:02:30,000
We've been
together ever since.
53
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,533
We've been
together ever since.
54
00:02:35,467 --> 00:02:40,100
[Janine] In 1992,
32-year-old Trish Magers
and her husband Mark
55
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:42,533
had been the proud owners
of the bridal shop,
56
00:02:42,533 --> 00:02:44,266
la' Bride, Sir Knight
57
00:02:44,266 --> 00:02:45,900
in their hometown
of Wichita, Kansas,
58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,800
for a little over a year.
59
00:02:48,634 --> 00:02:50,266
[Mark] It was in a strip mall
60
00:02:50,266 --> 00:02:53,166
right on the main highway
through Wichita.
61
00:02:53,233 --> 00:02:55,266
la' Bride was the wedding side
62
00:02:55,266 --> 00:02:57,634
and Sir Knight
was the tuxedos.
63
00:02:58,266 --> 00:03:00,000
She just loved
helping the girls,
64
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,367
She just loved
helping the girls,
65
00:03:00,367 --> 00:03:02,734
uh, put together the wedding
that they wanted.
66
00:03:04,066 --> 00:03:07,066
Business is so good
that Trish needs extra help
67
00:03:07,066 --> 00:03:09,634
and hires a few
young sales associates,
68
00:03:09,634 --> 00:03:12,367
including 23-year-old
Patricia Smith.
69
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:15,467
[Bill] I'm Bill Trendel.
70
00:03:15,467 --> 00:03:18,066
I'm the brother
of Patricia Smith.
71
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,266
There were only
two children in the family.
72
00:03:21,266 --> 00:03:23,367
I was the oldest
and Tricia
73
00:03:23,367 --> 00:03:27,467
was, uh, the youngest
by four years.
74
00:03:27,467 --> 00:03:30,000
She was, you know,
in her early 20s
when she got married,
75
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,166
She was, you know,
in her early 20s
when she got married,
76
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:33,166
and they had just bought
their first house.
77
00:03:34,533 --> 00:03:38,233
My first son had been born
that previous September.
78
00:03:39,166 --> 00:03:40,900
She enjoyed being an aunt.
79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,333
She was holding TJ
and just didn't
wanna let him go.
80
00:03:46,634 --> 00:03:47,800
[chuckles]
81
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000
She was really wanting
to be a pediatric nurse.
82
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,600
And while she was in college,
83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,066
she started working
at the bridal place.
84
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:00,000
Working there
was up her alley,
what she liked to do.
85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,734
Working there
was up her alley,
what she liked to do.
86
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,100
[Mark] I would go to the store
to help out in peak times.
87
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,734
Both the girls
were fun and jovial.
88
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,333
Just a joy to be around.
89
00:04:15,734 --> 00:04:19,467
On the morning of Saturday,
April 11th 1992,
90
00:04:19,533 --> 00:04:21,166
Trish and Patricia prepare for
91
00:04:21,233 --> 00:04:23,967
what promises
to be a busy day.
92
00:04:23,967 --> 00:04:26,467
It's April, it's ahead
of wedding season.
93
00:04:26,467 --> 00:04:27,734
It's ahead of prom season.
94
00:04:27,734 --> 00:04:29,166
It's a Saturday
when most people
95
00:04:29,233 --> 00:04:30,000
are free to come in and look
and tryout dresses.
96
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,367
are free to come in and look
and tryout dresses.
97
00:04:32,433 --> 00:04:36,266
[Mark] That morning
I ask her if she wanted me
to go to the store to help out
98
00:04:36,266 --> 00:04:39,700
and her response was that
I've been working too hard
99
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:43,333
and I needed to just relax
and do whatever I wanted
to do that day.
100
00:04:44,467 --> 00:04:46,266
So off to work she went,
101
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:48,533
and I went ahead
and just did
102
00:04:48,533 --> 00:04:50,467
some odds and ends
around the house.
103
00:04:50,467 --> 00:04:52,166
And then in the evening
104
00:04:52,166 --> 00:04:53,734
I was going to surprise her
'cause I knew
105
00:04:53,734 --> 00:04:55,700
she'd have a long day
that day,
106
00:04:55,700 --> 00:04:58,533
and I had a candlelight dinner
prepared...
107
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:02,867
and she was late.
108
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:06,867
So this was in an era
where we didn't
have cell phones yet.
109
00:05:06,867 --> 00:05:08,500
We did have pagers.
110
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:10,266
So I paged her several times
111
00:05:10,333 --> 00:05:12,233
and did not get any response.
112
00:05:13,467 --> 00:05:16,734
So I blow the candles out,
I take off.
113
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,367
And when I pull up
to the wedding store,
114
00:05:19,367 --> 00:05:22,000
I... I couldn't tell you
how many police were there.
115
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,500
And they had
the barrier tape set up.
116
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,266
I broke through
the barrier tape
to go into the store
117
00:05:28,266 --> 00:05:30,000
and they got hold of me
pretty quick,
118
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,367
and they got hold of me
pretty quick,
119
00:05:30,433 --> 00:05:32,467
and put me in a squad car.
120
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:35,000
And I'm wanting to know
what's going on
121
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,900
inside the store
and they won't tell me.
122
00:05:39,967 --> 00:05:41,700
[Det. Addie Perkins]
I'm Detective Addie Perkins.
123
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:43,467
I work for the Wichita
Police Department
124
00:05:43,467 --> 00:05:44,734
in our Homicide Unit.
125
00:05:45,533 --> 00:05:48,367
The Department
received a 911 call.
126
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,266
[Det. Timothy Relph]
The first officers
that arrived noticed
127
00:06:05,266 --> 00:06:07,367
the front door
of the business was open
128
00:06:07,433 --> 00:06:10,000
and, uh, the keys
were in the door,
129
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,066
and so the first
couple of officers
went in pretty cautiously
130
00:06:14,066 --> 00:06:15,900
'cause you don't know
if the suspect's
still in there.
131
00:06:17,467 --> 00:06:19,533
[Det. Mike Hennessy]
Upon the first inspection
by the officers,
132
00:06:19,533 --> 00:06:22,066
there was no, uh,
signs of a break-in.
133
00:06:22,066 --> 00:06:25,166
There was really, uh,
no signs of disarray.
134
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:27,533
Uh, they noticed
someone's purse
135
00:06:27,533 --> 00:06:30,000
on the floor not too far
from the doorway.
136
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,900
on the floor not too far
from the doorway.
137
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,467
And nothing was unusual,
out of place.
138
00:06:34,533 --> 00:06:35,867
[Det. Relph] When they
were making their way
139
00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:37,533
to the back part
of the... the store
140
00:06:37,634 --> 00:06:39,700
they see two things
on the floor.
141
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:42,266
At first they think
they're mannequins
142
00:06:42,333 --> 00:06:45,433
but one officer very quickly
noticed that there was blood.
143
00:06:47,266 --> 00:06:49,467
And that's how they discovered
144
00:06:49,533 --> 00:06:52,700
Patricia Magers
and Patricia Smith.
145
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:54,700
[Det. Hennessy]
They discovered
that Patricia Magers
146
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,166
had already been deceased
147
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:58,367
however her employee
Patricia Smith
148
00:06:58,367 --> 00:06:59,634
was still clinging to live.
149
00:07:00,467 --> 00:07:02,266
They call the EMS 4
and she was taken
150
00:07:02,266 --> 00:07:03,634
straight to the hospital.
151
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,533
In the midst of the police
responding to the scene,
152
00:07:07,634 --> 00:07:11,467
Mark Magers arrived
and is sitting
in a patrol car out front
153
00:07:11,533 --> 00:07:13,734
desperate to know
what's going on.
154
00:07:15,266 --> 00:07:17,533
I said, "You either tell me
what's going on in there
155
00:07:17,634 --> 00:07:22,000
or we're gonna
get out of this car and,
and have some serious words."
156
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,467
And that's when he told me
both girls had been shot.
157
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,367
I wanted out of the car.
158
00:07:29,433 --> 00:07:30,000
I wanted to go and see
what was going on myself.
159
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,867
I wanted to go and see
what was going on myself.
160
00:07:31,867 --> 00:07:34,467
It was, uh, part disbelief,
161
00:07:34,467 --> 00:07:37,634
uh, maybe,
somewhere deep down
I thought maybe I can...
162
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,533
do something
that they couldn't.
163
00:07:40,533 --> 00:07:43,900
I wanted to go see,
I wanted to go see my wife.
164
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,367
And they wouldn't let me.
165
00:07:46,367 --> 00:07:50,367
I knew that this was...
uh, gonna be extremely...
166
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,100
painful for me.
167
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:00,000
Meanwhile Patricia Smith
passes away at the hospital
168
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,367
Meanwhile Patricia Smith
passes away at the hospital
169
00:08:01,367 --> 00:08:03,533
and her family is notified.
170
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:07,634
My dad called
and notified us what...
171
00:08:08,367 --> 00:08:09,800
you know, what had happened
172
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:12,533
and that my sister
was... was... was dead.
173
00:08:14,166 --> 00:08:17,166
Finding out about
her death was very,
174
00:08:17,233 --> 00:08:20,533
very shocking. Kind of a...
it's very sobering.
175
00:08:20,634 --> 00:08:24,266
I mean, to be
an unexpected violent act
176
00:08:24,266 --> 00:08:26,233
is very, very shocking.
177
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:29,734
I don't think
I slept much that night.
178
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,533
While the victims' families
are trying to deal
with this tragedy,
179
00:08:35,634 --> 00:08:37,166
detectives at the bridal shop
180
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:39,233
are trying to make sense
of the scene.
181
00:08:39,967 --> 00:08:42,600
We did recover
three .22 caliber
182
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,233
shell casings
near the victims.
183
00:08:46,367 --> 00:08:48,867
Cash register drawer was open.
184
00:08:48,867 --> 00:08:51,467
So I was assuming
of course that, uh,
185
00:08:51,533 --> 00:08:53,266
it's gonna be a robbery case.
186
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:57,533
Our lab investigators start
dusting for fingerprints,
187
00:08:57,634 --> 00:09:00,000
they take photographs
and measurements.
188
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,066
they take photographs
and measurements.
189
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:03,367
[Det. Hennessy]
Cash register drawer
and shell casings,
190
00:09:03,367 --> 00:09:05,367
at that point
that's all we really had
191
00:09:05,433 --> 00:09:07,634
as far as any forensic
or any physical evidence
192
00:09:07,734 --> 00:09:09,700
that we could work with.
193
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:12,266
We were very short
on some forensic evidence
194
00:09:12,333 --> 00:09:14,900
but it's not a failure
of police departments
195
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,734
uh, of that time.
196
00:09:16,734 --> 00:09:18,367
Back in 1992 swabbing,
197
00:09:18,367 --> 00:09:20,166
things like that,
or touch DNA,
198
00:09:20,166 --> 00:09:22,800
that wasn't even
something that local
police departments or
199
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:25,600
even larger police departments
were doing at that time.
200
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,867
[Janine] As investigators
process the scene
201
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:30,000
they questioned the 911 caller
about what he saw.
202
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,100
they questioned the 911 caller
about what he saw.
203
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:35,967
Earlier that evening
he realized he didn't
have his cummerbund.
204
00:09:35,967 --> 00:09:38,467
Uh, he called la' Bride.
205
00:09:38,533 --> 00:09:40,734
[Det. Perkins]
They explained to him
that they are actually closing
206
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,900
but they'll stay late
to give him this item.
207
00:09:44,533 --> 00:09:46,867
When he goes to the store
208
00:09:46,867 --> 00:09:49,467
the lights are out.
209
00:09:50,266 --> 00:09:52,266
The door is open.
210
00:09:52,266 --> 00:09:54,700
The keys are stuck
in the door.
211
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:56,467
And walks in,
212
00:09:56,533 --> 00:09:58,734
you know, was kind of
hollering for someone.
213
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:01,634
He sees no one, hears no one.
214
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:04,166
And then all of a sudden,
215
00:10:05,367 --> 00:10:07,533
a white male
comes from the back,
216
00:10:08,867 --> 00:10:10,467
then he saw a gun.
217
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:28,967
The gunman wanted the witness
to come in the back with him.
218
00:10:28,967 --> 00:10:32,634
And our witness refused.
He didn't wanna go back there.
219
00:10:32,634 --> 00:10:34,066
He told the gunman that,
220
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,533
"It has nothing to do with me.
221
00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:36,734
I just came for something,
222
00:10:36,734 --> 00:10:38,867
but I really
don't need it now."
223
00:10:38,867 --> 00:10:41,533
The gunman insisted
he come back with him.
224
00:10:41,533 --> 00:10:44,233
And the witness
kept talking him out of it.
225
00:10:46,634 --> 00:10:49,485
Eventually the gunman
gave up and just let him go.
226
00:10:49,485 --> 00:10:50,233
Eventually the gunman
gave up and just let him go.
227
00:10:51,634 --> 00:10:55,634
He's extremely upset.
He's not sure what's gone on.
228
00:10:55,634 --> 00:10:57,367
Um, he doesn't know
229
00:10:57,367 --> 00:11:01,533
the severity
of what has happened.
230
00:11:01,533 --> 00:11:03,634
You know, this is a situation
that obviously,
231
00:11:03,634 --> 00:11:05,166
he's just there
to pick up an item.
232
00:11:05,166 --> 00:11:07,166
He never ever thought
233
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:10,066
he'd walk into
a situation like this.
234
00:11:10,066 --> 00:11:14,266
The witness is able to give
a detailed description
of the assailant.
235
00:11:15,266 --> 00:11:17,634
He described him
as a white male,
236
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:19,485
maybe 5'6" to 5'7",
237
00:11:19,485 --> 00:11:20,066
maybe 5'6" to 5'7",
238
00:11:20,066 --> 00:11:24,166
speaking clearly
so there was
no accent he noticed.
239
00:11:24,233 --> 00:11:27,066
He described the suspect as
240
00:11:27,066 --> 00:11:28,734
semi-blond, reddish hair.
241
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,066
His demeanor
being extremely calm.
242
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:34,533
But he had a nervous tick
of some sort
243
00:11:34,533 --> 00:11:37,367
'cause he kept rubbing
his face with his hand.
244
00:11:38,367 --> 00:11:40,867
The witness goes on
to describe the man's gun
245
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:45,967
and he says it was a pistol
but not your average pistol.
246
00:11:45,967 --> 00:11:48,467
[Det. Hennessy] This is
kind of a strange-looking
weapon, according to him.
247
00:11:48,467 --> 00:11:49,485
You know, described
as one between a...
248
00:11:49,485 --> 00:11:50,634
You know, described
as one between a...
249
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:52,533
a hand gun with a long barrel
250
00:11:52,533 --> 00:11:54,734
and a rifle
with a short barrel.
251
00:11:54,734 --> 00:11:56,967
[Det. Relph] It had
what's called a foregrip,
252
00:11:56,967 --> 00:12:00,100
and that's pretty unusual
for a... for a pistol.
253
00:12:01,266 --> 00:12:02,867
Police sit down
with the witness
254
00:12:02,867 --> 00:12:03,967
and a sketch artist
255
00:12:03,967 --> 00:12:07,266
to create a composite sketch
of the suspect.
256
00:12:07,266 --> 00:12:11,000
The police distribute
the composite sketch
to all the local media.
257
00:12:12,066 --> 00:12:14,967
Most of my first
couple of days
was just fielding,
258
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,485
uh, phone calls
or, uh, tips that
people called in on.
259
00:12:19,485 --> 00:12:19,734
uh, phone calls
or, uh, tips that
people called in on.
260
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,266
By the next day
it was very quickly recognized
261
00:12:22,333 --> 00:12:24,233
that this was
a high-profile case.
262
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:27,066
[Det. Hennessy]
A double killing like this
263
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:28,634
is very unusual,
264
00:12:28,634 --> 00:12:30,533
and of course we had to, uh,
265
00:12:30,533 --> 00:12:32,166
pull all
the resources together
266
00:12:32,166 --> 00:12:34,100
because this was a...
this was a bad one.
267
00:12:35,367 --> 00:12:38,467
As word spreads,
autopsies are performed
268
00:12:38,533 --> 00:12:40,266
giving investigators
some insight
269
00:12:40,333 --> 00:12:43,433
as to what happened
in the bridal shop that night.
270
00:12:44,367 --> 00:12:46,533
Officers and detectives
learned that
271
00:12:46,634 --> 00:12:49,485
there is no signs
of any type of sexual assault.
272
00:12:49,485 --> 00:12:50,967
there is no signs
of any type of sexual assault.
273
00:12:50,967 --> 00:12:54,367
Both victims didn't appear
to have any kind of struggle,
274
00:12:54,367 --> 00:12:57,066
they didn't have
any kind of defensive wounds.
275
00:12:57,066 --> 00:13:00,066
[Det. Perkins] Magers was shot
twice in the head
276
00:13:00,066 --> 00:13:03,066
and Smith was shot
once in the head.
277
00:13:03,066 --> 00:13:06,367
Um, it appeared
to be "execution style."
278
00:13:09,367 --> 00:13:11,066
[Det. Hennessy]
It just didn't make sense.
279
00:13:11,066 --> 00:13:13,066
There's no reason
to, uh, take employees
280
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:14,800
to a back room like that
281
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:17,066
and execute both victims.
282
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,485
It just seemed like overkill
for, uh, just simple robbery.
283
00:13:19,485 --> 00:13:20,367
It just seemed like overkill
for, uh, just simple robbery.
284
00:13:23,266 --> 00:13:25,066
Detectives are also struggling
285
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:28,367
with another detail
of this robbery.
286
00:13:28,367 --> 00:13:30,634
[Det. Hennessy]
Bridal shop is not
usually a business
287
00:13:30,634 --> 00:13:32,867
that has a whole
lot of cash on hand.
288
00:13:32,867 --> 00:13:34,266
And it's just not
a business at all
289
00:13:34,333 --> 00:13:36,533
that's typically
picked to be robbed.
290
00:13:36,533 --> 00:13:38,967
[Det. Relph]
There were multiple other
businesses around
291
00:13:38,967 --> 00:13:42,867
that appeared to do
much more high volume
as far as in cash.
292
00:13:42,867 --> 00:13:46,634
There was certainly more money
to be made in other places.
293
00:13:46,634 --> 00:13:48,967
[Janine] Putting
this all together,
investigator think
294
00:13:48,967 --> 00:13:49,485
the robbery
is just distraction,
295
00:13:49,485 --> 00:13:50,634
the robbery
is just distraction,
296
00:13:50,634 --> 00:13:53,066
perhaps a misdirect
by the killer.
297
00:13:54,266 --> 00:13:56,734
We ramped up
our efforts to find out
298
00:13:56,734 --> 00:13:58,800
the true motive
of the suspect.
299
00:14:01,066 --> 00:14:03,867
But after a few days
the cops haven't
developed any leads
300
00:14:03,867 --> 00:14:06,100
despite having
a composite sketch.
301
00:14:06,734 --> 00:14:08,634
Investigators start
to think that,
302
00:14:08,634 --> 00:14:10,367
uh, it could be someone
from out of town.
303
00:14:10,367 --> 00:14:13,100
So we decided
to start looking elsewhere.
304
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,634
We contacted NCIC.
305
00:14:16,634 --> 00:14:19,485
National Crime
Information Center
is a good resource
306
00:14:19,485 --> 00:14:19,533
National Crime
Information Center
is a good resource
307
00:14:19,634 --> 00:14:21,533
for all law enforcement
across the nation.
308
00:14:21,533 --> 00:14:24,166
That's how we talk
with each other.
309
00:14:24,233 --> 00:14:28,367
Investigators provide
details of the crime to NCIC,
310
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:31,066
and are surprised
when they're notified
311
00:14:31,066 --> 00:14:34,734
of a murder in Indianapolis
with a strikingly similar MO
312
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,433
that took place
just three days prior.
313
00:14:43,066 --> 00:14:45,634
[Lucretia]
My name is Lucretia Harden.
314
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:47,467
I was working
at Speedway gas station
315
00:14:47,467 --> 00:14:49,485
back in 1992.
316
00:14:49,485 --> 00:14:49,734
back in 1992.
317
00:14:49,734 --> 00:14:52,166
That job at Speedway
was relatively new.
318
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:54,734
I think I probably been there
maybe about six months.
319
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,800
The only person
that I really got a chance
320
00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:59,166
to really remember
the name was Robin,
321
00:14:59,166 --> 00:15:02,467
the lady that
worked next door
at the Payless Shoe Store.
322
00:15:02,467 --> 00:15:06,266
She was just sweet,
quiet and humble.
323
00:15:06,266 --> 00:15:10,066
She'd come in there, um,
on her... on her breaks.
324
00:15:10,066 --> 00:15:13,066
And, uh, I remember
she would always
buy the same thing.
325
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,634
A little after 1:00 p.m.
on Wednesday
April 8th, 1992,
326
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:19,485
Lucretia gets
an unexpected phone call
327
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:20,867
Lucretia gets
an unexpected phone call
328
00:15:20,867 --> 00:15:23,166
from the manager
at Payless Shoe Store.
329
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,800
[Lucretia] He said
that he'd been calling
330
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,166
over to the store
over and over again
331
00:15:28,233 --> 00:15:29,800
and no one
was answering the phone.
332
00:15:30,867 --> 00:15:33,066
So I told him
that I would go next door
333
00:15:33,066 --> 00:15:34,734
and find out why she wasn't
answering the phone.
334
00:15:38,066 --> 00:15:41,266
When I got over there
I just had this
creepy feeling.
335
00:15:43,166 --> 00:15:45,367
I didn't see Robin anywhere.
336
00:15:45,367 --> 00:15:49,485
And I saw that
the cash register
drawer was open.
337
00:15:49,485 --> 00:15:49,634
And I saw that
the cash register
drawer was open.
338
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:51,634
I knew something was wrong.
339
00:15:51,634 --> 00:15:52,900
So I called the police.
340
00:15:54,367 --> 00:15:57,266
It wasn't a long time at all
before the cops got there.
341
00:15:58,634 --> 00:16:00,800
And they were looking around.
342
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:04,100
All the way to
the back of the store
was the storage room.
343
00:16:06,066 --> 00:16:08,367
And they opened the door.
344
00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:10,734
I saw when he looked
down to the right
345
00:16:11,166 --> 00:16:13,066
that he just, um,
346
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,266
just jumped.
347
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:16,266
And you know,
what he saw
348
00:16:16,333 --> 00:16:17,433
startled him
and he jumped.
349
00:16:18,367 --> 00:16:19,485
That's when
I kinda felt like, uh,...
350
00:16:19,485 --> 00:16:20,734
That's when
I kinda felt like, uh,...
351
00:16:20,734 --> 00:16:23,367
Yeah, something...
something happened to her.
352
00:16:24,266 --> 00:16:25,734
[Capt. Ray Floyd]
My name is Ray Floyd.
353
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,266
I'm a Captain of
Investigative Services.
354
00:16:28,266 --> 00:16:32,266
The investigators at the scene
were able to get a hold
of the manager pretty quick
355
00:16:32,333 --> 00:16:33,533
and determined that the victim
356
00:16:33,533 --> 00:16:36,000
was 26-year-old
Robin Fuldauer.
357
00:16:38,066 --> 00:16:41,367
She was face down.
They observed blood
around her head.
358
00:16:41,367 --> 00:16:44,634
It looked like she had, uh,
a gunshot wound to the head.
359
00:16:45,634 --> 00:16:48,867
The did locate
.22 caliber casings.
360
00:16:48,867 --> 00:16:49,485
Her clothes weren't disturbed.
361
00:16:49,485 --> 00:16:50,533
Her clothes weren't disturbed.
362
00:16:50,533 --> 00:16:53,533
There was no sign
of sexual assault,
sexual motivation.
363
00:16:53,533 --> 00:16:56,066
The last known
transaction in the store
364
00:16:56,066 --> 00:16:58,166
happened at 1:12 p.m.
yesterday.
365
00:16:58,166 --> 00:16:59,634
Uh, that individual bought
366
00:16:59,634 --> 00:17:01,734
a pair of man's shoes
and a pair of women's shoes.
367
00:17:01,734 --> 00:17:03,734
Uh, who that person
is we, we don't know
368
00:17:03,734 --> 00:17:05,634
and they're certainly
not a suspect at this point
369
00:17:05,634 --> 00:17:07,967
but we would ask
if... if they, uh, know
370
00:17:07,967 --> 00:17:09,734
that they were
in the establishment,
371
00:17:09,734 --> 00:17:11,166
the shoe store
around that time,
372
00:17:11,166 --> 00:17:12,467
we would like
to talk with them.
373
00:17:13,367 --> 00:17:16,166
As the CSI team
processes the scene,
374
00:17:16,233 --> 00:17:19,485
they find that robbery
is a possible motive.
375
00:17:19,485 --> 00:17:19,734
they find that robbery
is a possible motive.
376
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,467
[Truesdell]
Police investigators
find the register open
377
00:17:22,533 --> 00:17:24,266
as they were told,
378
00:17:24,333 --> 00:17:25,867
they determined
that about $90
379
00:17:25,867 --> 00:17:29,066
has been taken
from the register.
380
00:17:29,066 --> 00:17:33,634
It appeared
to be a random robbery
that possibly went bad.
381
00:17:34,967 --> 00:17:37,166
[Janine] But what
the cops don't understand
382
00:17:37,166 --> 00:17:41,367
is why the assailant murdered
the young store clerk.
383
00:17:41,433 --> 00:17:42,967
[Capt. Floyd] It appeared
that she was most likely
384
00:17:42,967 --> 00:17:44,166
compliant with the robbery,
385
00:17:44,166 --> 00:17:45,734
so there didn't seem
386
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,166
to be a real good motive
387
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:49,467
on why, uh,
he would've taken it
388
00:17:49,533 --> 00:17:51,100
to the next step
and murdered her.
389
00:17:51,967 --> 00:17:54,066
While detectives
continue their investigation,
390
00:17:54,066 --> 00:17:56,166
police inform Lucretia
391
00:17:56,233 --> 00:17:57,900
that Robin Fuldauer
was murdered.
392
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:02,634
I was just so distraught.
393
00:18:02,634 --> 00:18:05,266
I... I was so emotional,
I couldn't stop
thinking about it.
394
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:07,166
I mean, it's right next door.
395
00:18:07,166 --> 00:18:08,867
It just felt uncomfortable,
396
00:18:08,867 --> 00:18:11,634
just being in that area,
you know?
397
00:18:11,634 --> 00:18:14,066
I didn't care for the job
anymore after that.
398
00:18:14,066 --> 00:18:15,367
It just...
399
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:18,000
Yeah.
400
00:18:20,734 --> 00:18:23,467
[Janine] Indianapolis PD
interview Robin's friends
401
00:18:23,467 --> 00:18:25,367
and family,
looking for a suspect,
402
00:18:25,367 --> 00:18:28,734
or any clues as to why
someone would want her dead.
403
00:18:30,634 --> 00:18:34,166
They found that Robin
did not live like a lifestyle
404
00:18:34,233 --> 00:18:36,867
that would put her
typically in danger.
405
00:18:36,867 --> 00:18:40,867
[Truesdell]
Robin was a 26-year-old woman
with a bright, bright future.
406
00:18:40,867 --> 00:18:43,867
Uh, she was a salutatorian
of her high school class.
407
00:18:43,867 --> 00:18:45,900
Very devout
in her Jewish faith.
408
00:18:46,734 --> 00:18:48,467
[Capt. Floyd]
She went to work.
409
00:18:48,533 --> 00:18:49,485
She wasn't involved
in illegal narcotics.
410
00:18:49,485 --> 00:18:50,533
She wasn't involved
in illegal narcotics.
411
00:18:50,533 --> 00:18:52,166
She wasn't in
an abusive relationships.
412
00:18:52,166 --> 00:18:56,066
I mean there's no reason
to commit homicide with her.
413
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:57,634
There was--
It just made no sense.
414
00:18:58,967 --> 00:19:01,734
[Janine] As days go by
investigators don't make
415
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,533
any progress
in identifying a suspect,
416
00:19:04,634 --> 00:19:07,800
until they get a call
from the detectives in Wichita
417
00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:10,867
who have just found out
that their respective
murder scenes
418
00:19:10,867 --> 00:19:12,634
seem to have
a lot in common.
419
00:19:13,367 --> 00:19:15,367
The MO was just so similar
420
00:19:15,367 --> 00:19:17,967
that the suspect
had entered the store
421
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,367
that you don't
typically wanna rob,
422
00:19:19,367 --> 00:19:19,485
and it's also right off
the highway,
423
00:19:19,485 --> 00:19:21,467
and it's also right off
the highway,
424
00:19:21,533 --> 00:19:24,533
where there's a single,
uh, female employee
425
00:19:24,533 --> 00:19:26,634
and, uh, she was taken
into the back
426
00:19:26,634 --> 00:19:29,734
and shot in the head,
close range.
427
00:19:29,734 --> 00:19:33,066
And they also recovered
a .22 caliber shell casing.
428
00:19:34,066 --> 00:19:36,066
Wichita investigators
get together
429
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:38,266
with their counterparts
in Indianapolis
430
00:19:38,266 --> 00:19:40,166
and they decide
to compare ballistics
431
00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:42,533
on their respective
bullet casings.
432
00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:45,634
And it shows the same gun,
433
00:19:45,634 --> 00:19:49,166
the same weapon
is being used
in both homicides.
434
00:19:49,233 --> 00:19:49,485
And so we're dealing
with one weapon.
435
00:19:49,485 --> 00:19:51,100
And so we're dealing
with one weapon.
436
00:19:52,166 --> 00:19:54,066
The same weapon.
437
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,166
[Det. Hennessy]
Now we know that the murders
438
00:19:56,166 --> 00:19:59,066
were committed
by the same person
in both jurisdictions.
439
00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:01,266
Once we learned that,
then we knew
440
00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:03,734
that we had something
much bigger going on.
441
00:20:04,533 --> 00:20:06,433
But he's still out there.
442
00:20:07,266 --> 00:20:09,266
He's somewhere in the area.
443
00:20:10,166 --> 00:20:12,333
We just don't know
where he's gonna strike.
444
00:20:18,700 --> 00:20:19,734
[Truesdell]
Now the police
445
00:20:19,734 --> 00:20:21,533
have connected the series
of three murders
446
00:20:21,533 --> 00:20:24,533
and they think
there may be
a strategic killer
447
00:20:24,533 --> 00:20:26,634
moving across the country.
448
00:20:32,467 --> 00:20:34,533
[Det. Brad Rumsey]
I'm Brad Rumsey.
449
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:36,166
I'm a Violent Crimes Detective
450
00:20:36,233 --> 00:20:37,900
with Terre Haute
Police Department.
451
00:20:39,266 --> 00:20:41,166
Terre Haute in general
452
00:20:41,233 --> 00:20:43,867
is what I consider
a small town.
453
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:46,533
And for the most part
454
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,783
you don't really hear about
455
00:20:47,783 --> 00:20:47,967
you don't really hear about
456
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,066
a lot of bad things
happening here.
457
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:55,533
[Janine] Sixteen days
after the Wichita murders,
458
00:20:55,533 --> 00:20:59,066
on the morning of Monday,
April 27th, 1992,
459
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,734
40-year-old Mike McCown,
460
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,734
known to his friends
and family as Mick,
461
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,800
is working
at his mother's shop,
Sylvia's Ceramics.
462
00:21:06,734 --> 00:21:08,734
[Cindy] My name
is Cindy Brack.
463
00:21:08,734 --> 00:21:10,734
Mick McCown was my brother.
464
00:21:12,266 --> 00:21:14,333
Mick was a wonderful musician.
465
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:17,166
He was very talented.
466
00:21:18,367 --> 00:21:20,900
He played lots and lots
of instruments.
467
00:21:21,166 --> 00:21:22,233
Self-taught.
468
00:21:22,367 --> 00:21:25,533
[Mick singing]
♪ You can't show me
no affection ♪
469
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,533
♪ 'Cause the love you lost
a while ago still hurts you ♪
470
00:21:29,533 --> 00:21:31,634
Mick plays in several bands
471
00:21:31,634 --> 00:21:33,734
and travels to cities
around the area
472
00:21:33,734 --> 00:21:35,533
including Indianapolis
and Chicago.
473
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:41,100
He'll be gone for long,
long periods of time playing
474
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:46,066
and he would travel,
I guess, what he called
the Holiday Inn Circuit.
475
00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:47,783
Because back then Holiday Inn
always had a dance floor.
476
00:21:47,783 --> 00:21:49,734
Because back then Holiday Inn
always had a dance floor.
477
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,333
[Janine] For the last
few years Mick
has done less traveling.
478
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,333
He returned to Terre Haute
to help out his parents
who were ageing.
479
00:21:57,367 --> 00:22:00,800
And he basically took over
several of the day-to-day
operations of the shop.
480
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:04,967
[Cindy] When Mick came
and took over the shop,
481
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,900
I continued to work there.
482
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:09,333
So we were able to spend
a lot of time together.
483
00:22:11,467 --> 00:22:14,634
That Monday, the 27th,
at approximately 5:00 p.m.,
484
00:22:14,734 --> 00:22:17,783
a 911 call comes in
to the Terre Haute
Police Department.
485
00:22:17,783 --> 00:22:17,967
a 911 call comes in
to the Terre Haute
Police Department.
486
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:21,634
[Sgt. Troy Davis] My name
is Sergeant Troy Davis.
487
00:22:21,734 --> 00:22:24,734
I'm a detective
with the Terre Haute
Police Department.
488
00:22:25,467 --> 00:22:28,166
And I was working
in the north end of town
489
00:22:28,166 --> 00:22:30,066
when the call came in.
490
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,900
And it was called in
as a man down
491
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:33,333
there at Sylvia's,
492
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:35,800
possible gunshot victim.
493
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,266
It was a big deal, uh,
when the call came out.
494
00:22:39,333 --> 00:22:41,734
Every unit that was working
in that area responded.
495
00:22:42,734 --> 00:22:45,467
[Det. Brad Rumsey]
Initial officers
arrive on scene.
496
00:22:45,467 --> 00:22:47,783
There was a man
found dead inside the store.
497
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:48,433
There was a man
found dead inside the store.
498
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:50,533
[Janine] The store is bustling
with the law enforcement,
499
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,166
and not long after that
detectives arrive
500
00:22:53,233 --> 00:22:54,967
and start to unpack the scene.
501
00:22:56,467 --> 00:22:58,433
[Sgt. Davis] There was
a shell casing recovered
502
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:00,333
near the body.
503
00:23:00,367 --> 00:23:02,800
It came from
a .22 caliber hand gun.
504
00:23:03,734 --> 00:23:07,166
[Det. Rumsey] Also there
was a shoe print inside
505
00:23:07,166 --> 00:23:11,066
that is very similar to,
if not the same as
506
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:13,867
a shoe print that's outside,
507
00:23:13,867 --> 00:23:16,166
and both of those
were photographed.
508
00:23:16,166 --> 00:23:17,783
They've also found
the cash register
drawer was open,
509
00:23:17,783 --> 00:23:20,100
They've also found
the cash register
drawer was open,
510
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,266
and money was taken.
511
00:23:23,166 --> 00:23:25,734
They did not
find his wallet on him.
512
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,734
And it's not known
if that wallet was stolen
513
00:23:29,734 --> 00:23:33,533
during the incident
that cost him his life,
514
00:23:33,533 --> 00:23:36,533
or if it's something
that he didn't bring
with him that day.
515
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:39,433
Detectives think
this might be a robbery,
516
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,266
but it doesn't quite add up.
517
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,066
When someone
dies during a robbery
518
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:46,634
it's usually
because they fought back.
519
00:23:46,634 --> 00:23:47,783
There was no indication
of a struggle.
520
00:23:47,783 --> 00:23:49,734
There was no indication
of a struggle.
521
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,467
There's nothing
broken on the floor.
522
00:23:52,467 --> 00:23:55,266
That's very unusual.
It's a ceramic store
523
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:58,266
and there's nothing
that's been smashed.
524
00:23:58,266 --> 00:24:00,734
Uh, the victim doesn't appear
525
00:24:00,734 --> 00:24:03,967
to he's been in a fight,
his hands aren't bloody.
526
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,266
He was slumped over,
crumpled over.
527
00:24:06,333 --> 00:24:08,967
And, uh, there
was blood coming
from the back of his head.
528
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,734
It appeared that he,
maybe he was on his knees
529
00:24:13,734 --> 00:24:16,266
or bent over somewhat.
530
00:24:16,333 --> 00:24:17,783
Maybe putting
a display up of ceramics
531
00:24:17,783 --> 00:24:19,000
Maybe putting
a display up of ceramics
532
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
on a shelf or something.
533
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,900
And it just,
it simply appeared that
534
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:24,734
this person walked in
535
00:24:25,166 --> 00:24:27,900
and executed him, instantly.
536
00:24:29,467 --> 00:24:30,967
[Det. Rumsey]
Nothing indicates
537
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,100
he might have been
looking at the person.
538
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,433
It looks like he was shot
539
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:38,433
before he knew someone
was there to shoot him.
540
00:24:39,634 --> 00:24:41,166
[Cindy] I was at home.
541
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,533
And the news came on.
542
00:24:43,533 --> 00:24:47,367
And the reporter
was standing in front
of our ceramic shop.
543
00:24:47,367 --> 00:24:47,783
[reporter on TV]
A customer entering
this ceramic store
544
00:24:47,783 --> 00:24:49,533
[reporter on TV]
A customer entering
this ceramic store
545
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,000
made the horrible discovery
this afternoon,
546
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,634
just inside the front window
of Sylvia's Ceramics,
lay a man's body.
547
00:24:56,367 --> 00:24:58,433
Oh... just like...
548
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,266
everything just... crashed...
549
00:25:04,467 --> 00:25:07,367
[voice shaking] I stood up
and I was screaming.
550
00:25:07,367 --> 00:25:11,066
And my husband, he said,
"What's the matter?
What's the matter?"
551
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:13,533
[voice breaking]
I said, I couldn't talk.
552
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,166
I couldn't talk.
553
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:17,783
I said "We got to go!
We got to go! We got to go!"
554
00:25:17,783 --> 00:25:18,367
I said "We got to go!
We got to go! We got to go!"
555
00:25:18,367 --> 00:25:21,000
He said, "Go where?"
I said "We gotta go to
the shop, they killed Mick.
556
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,533
They killed Mick."
557
00:25:28,700 --> 00:25:30,634
Mother got there first.
558
00:25:30,634 --> 00:25:33,867
And the hearse
was still there.
559
00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:36,266
And they were loading
his body,
560
00:25:36,266 --> 00:25:38,166
into the... into the hearse.
561
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:45,967
It was undoubtedly
the worst day of our lives.
562
00:25:46,734 --> 00:25:47,783
We had this happy family.
563
00:25:47,783 --> 00:25:49,900
We had this happy family.
564
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:54,166
Then our world just collapsed.
It was never the same
after Mick was killed.
565
00:25:54,166 --> 00:25:55,634
Never the same.
566
00:25:59,867 --> 00:26:01,900
Police canvassed the area
looking for anyone
567
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:03,734
who might have seen
or heard something
568
00:26:03,734 --> 00:26:06,367
but it's proving
really difficult for them.
569
00:26:06,367 --> 00:26:08,867
[Sgt. Davis]
There was parking
only in the back.
570
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:11,467
So no one would
have seen this suspect
571
00:26:11,467 --> 00:26:13,333
come in and out
of the front door.
572
00:26:13,367 --> 00:26:15,533
There was no front door.
It was a back door.
573
00:26:16,100 --> 00:26:17,783
And behind the business,
574
00:26:17,783 --> 00:26:18,734
And behind the business,
575
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,100
uh, there were a few homes.
576
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:23,066
Detectives talked
to the residents
577
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:24,734
of those homes,
who saw nothing.
578
00:26:25,867 --> 00:26:28,867
It was a main thoroughfare,
because you had, um,
579
00:26:28,867 --> 00:26:32,266
I-70 right there.
It was a busy street.
580
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,066
But there was no
witnesses whatsoever.
581
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:40,100
A daytime shooting, um,
at a business like that
is very unique.
582
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:42,333
Things like that, uh...
583
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:45,066
Well, they just don't happen,
especially, you know,
584
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:47,233
in... in a smaller town
like Terre Haute.
585
00:26:48,367 --> 00:26:50,867
[Janine] Detectives
have no solid leads
586
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:53,066
until they receive
some new information
587
00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,867
about one of
the few pieces of evidence
588
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:56,166
collected at the scene.
589
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,266
[Sgt. Davis] The shell casing
590
00:26:58,266 --> 00:27:01,066
was sent off
for ballistic testing.
591
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:04,166
There's a national
database for ballistics
592
00:27:04,166 --> 00:27:07,900
and all the information,
uh, from these
ballistics testings
593
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:10,367
goes into this system.
594
00:27:10,367 --> 00:27:12,867
And it compares
the shell casings.
595
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:16,867
When they got
the information back,
596
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:17,783
our shell casing
was matched up
597
00:27:17,783 --> 00:27:18,734
our shell casing
was matched up
598
00:27:18,734 --> 00:27:22,800
to, uh, a homicide
that happened
in Indianapolis, Indiana,
599
00:27:23,467 --> 00:27:27,166
as well as Wichita, Kansas.
600
00:27:27,166 --> 00:27:31,433
So all these victims
were shot from the same gun.
601
00:27:32,734 --> 00:27:35,800
Now we have three cases
that are connected.
602
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:43,634
That's when we realized
that we had a serial killer.
603
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:58,266
[Janine] Police
inform the families
604
00:27:58,333 --> 00:28:00,266
affected by
the senseless murders
605
00:28:00,266 --> 00:28:02,734
that their loved ones
were victims
606
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,367
of a serial killer.
607
00:28:05,533 --> 00:28:10,166
[Mark] To deliberately
seek out defenseless
young women
608
00:28:10,166 --> 00:28:13,634
in these innocent
strip mall settings,
609
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:17,100
to murder in cold blood...
610
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:20,533
[sputtering] I can nev...
I... I don't know how to...
611
00:28:20,867 --> 00:28:22,533
um...
612
00:28:22,634 --> 00:28:25,240
understand that
or even begin
to understand that.
613
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,533
understand that
or even begin
to understand that.
614
00:28:26,634 --> 00:28:30,266
[Bill] It was sad to know
that other people
were going through this
615
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:32,800
because of the same
person doing that.
616
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:35,634
[Cindy] They don't stop.
617
00:28:35,634 --> 00:28:37,266
Serial killers don't stop.
618
00:28:38,266 --> 00:28:39,867
Not voluntarily.
619
00:28:39,867 --> 00:28:42,266
They just keep killing,
and killing and killing.
620
00:28:44,967 --> 00:28:47,734
As the families wrestle
with this new information,
621
00:28:47,734 --> 00:28:51,233
police discover
that the killer
has struck again.
622
00:28:51,867 --> 00:28:53,800
Not once but twice.
623
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:55,240
All of a sudden
we get information,
624
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,634
All of a sudden
we get information,
625
00:28:56,634 --> 00:28:57,900
a few days later
626
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,166
that there's two other
cases in the Midwest
627
00:29:00,166 --> 00:29:01,800
that were connected to ours.
628
00:29:03,066 --> 00:29:06,800
On Sunday
May 3rd, 1992,
in Saint Charles, Missouri,
629
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:10,467
24-year-old Nancy Kitzmiller's
found dead in a back room
630
00:29:10,533 --> 00:29:12,533
at Boot Village,
her place of work.
631
00:29:13,867 --> 00:29:17,266
She was in a similar fashion
as, uh, Indianapolis
632
00:29:17,266 --> 00:29:20,800
and also, uh, Wichita,
as that she was
laying face down
633
00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:22,333
basically in a pool of blood.
634
00:29:25,734 --> 00:29:28,734
[Janine] Four days later
in Raytown, Missouri,
635
00:29:28,734 --> 00:29:31,367
Sarah Blessing is found
dead in a back room
636
00:29:31,367 --> 00:29:36,367
at The Store of Many Colors,
a personal health shop
that she owned with friends.
637
00:29:36,367 --> 00:29:39,867
As the detectives
compare the details
of these two new cases
638
00:29:39,867 --> 00:29:42,533
they realize that
the MO is the same
639
00:29:42,634 --> 00:29:45,467
as the murders
in Wichita, Indianapolis,
640
00:29:45,467 --> 00:29:47,533
and Terre Haute.
641
00:29:47,634 --> 00:29:51,533
Investigators think
that the body count
has gone from four to six,
642
00:29:51,533 --> 00:29:55,240
and this killer on the loose
shows no signs of stopping.
643
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:55,367
and this killer on the loose
shows no signs of stopping.
644
00:29:56,967 --> 00:29:59,266
[Det. Kelly Rhodes]
I'm Kelly Rhodes.
I'm a detective here
645
00:29:59,266 --> 00:30:02,266
at St. Charles City Police
Department, in Missouri.
646
00:30:02,266 --> 00:30:05,166
Nancy Kitzmiller
who was shot
in the back of the head.
647
00:30:06,166 --> 00:30:08,734
A shell casing was found
right in the doorway
648
00:30:08,734 --> 00:30:10,734
just a few inches
away from her feet.
649
00:30:12,066 --> 00:30:14,166
Based on the actual
gunshot wound,
650
00:30:14,166 --> 00:30:16,467
it does appear
that it was contact.
651
00:30:16,467 --> 00:30:19,166
Uh, which means that
the barrel of the gun
652
00:30:19,166 --> 00:30:20,734
would have either
been touching her
653
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,367
or very, very close
to touching her.
654
00:30:23,367 --> 00:30:25,240
There was, um,
several hundred dollars
655
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:25,533
There was, um,
several hundred dollars
656
00:30:25,634 --> 00:30:27,734
taken from the register.
657
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,266
There was also,
uh, a pair of boots
that had been left on
658
00:30:32,266 --> 00:30:34,533
top of the counter
near the register.
659
00:30:34,533 --> 00:30:36,900
We don't know if that was from
a prior customer
660
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,634
or if the... the killer had
set those there.
661
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,467
[Capt. Pat McCarrick]
My name is Pat McCarrick.
662
00:30:42,533 --> 00:30:43,900
I retired as a captain
663
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,266
for the St. Charles
Police Department.
664
00:30:46,333 --> 00:30:48,266
The Boot Village store,
it was near
665
00:30:48,266 --> 00:30:50,367
a shopping center
near I-70.
666
00:30:50,367 --> 00:30:52,800
So there would have been
quite a bit of traffic
667
00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:55,166
through there at that time.
668
00:30:55,166 --> 00:30:55,240
[Capt. Floyd]
Same sort of MO
with Sarah Blessing.
669
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,467
[Capt. Floyd]
Same sort of MO
with Sarah Blessing.
670
00:30:57,467 --> 00:30:58,867
She was taken
to the back room.
671
00:30:58,867 --> 00:31:01,000
She was shot
in the back of her head.
672
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:03,533
Again there's a single
.22 caliber casing.
673
00:31:03,634 --> 00:31:05,233
There was cash missing.
674
00:31:06,734 --> 00:31:10,734
But in the Sarah Blessing case
there is a witness.
675
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,166
The owner of the TV repair
and video store next door
676
00:31:14,166 --> 00:31:16,900
noticed something
peculiar that day.
677
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,166
[Capt. Floyd]
He sees this guy walking
across the parking lot.
678
00:31:20,166 --> 00:31:22,000
He's wearing
a grey sports jacket.
679
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:23,367
So he takes notice of him
680
00:31:23,433 --> 00:31:25,240
because, "Why's this guy
wearing a sports jacket?"
681
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:25,634
because, "Why's this guy
wearing a sports jacket?"
682
00:31:26,634 --> 00:31:29,634
The guy stops
and he looks into his store
683
00:31:29,634 --> 00:31:31,867
for a... a time
684
00:31:31,867 --> 00:31:34,266
and they...
they make eye contact.
685
00:31:34,333 --> 00:31:37,634
The witness and the suspect
locked eyes for a short time
686
00:31:37,734 --> 00:31:41,634
and then the suspect
goes next door,
to The Store of Many Colors.
687
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:46,100
And so I'm working on the TV
and all of a sudden about...
688
00:31:47,066 --> 00:31:49,467
maybe two or three
minutes later I hear, pop!
689
00:31:49,734 --> 00:31:51,233
And I went...
690
00:31:52,634 --> 00:31:55,100
That sounded like...
a gunshot.
691
00:31:55,166 --> 00:31:55,240
I grabbed my .38.
I had it behind my back.
692
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,734
I grabbed my .38.
I had it behind my back.
693
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,867
And I went to the front door
and I opened the door
694
00:32:01,867 --> 00:32:05,867
and as soon as I looked out
the guy's going around
the corner of the building,
695
00:32:05,867 --> 00:32:08,734
and it was the same guy
I had seen over here,
the same clothes.
696
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,367
Same pants, everything.
697
00:32:10,367 --> 00:32:12,900
So I went next door
and called for Sarah.
698
00:32:13,734 --> 00:32:16,467
And then I saw
her feet sticking out.
699
00:32:21,867 --> 00:32:25,240
My name is Shelli Reid, and
I'm Sarah Blessing's sister.
700
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,333
My name is Shelli Reid, and
I'm Sarah Blessing's sister.
701
00:32:27,734 --> 00:32:29,734
Sarah was a hugger.
702
00:32:29,734 --> 00:32:35,533
It was just all enveloping
and warm and tight and long.
703
00:32:35,634 --> 00:32:38,266
And it was really
an awesome feeling.
704
00:32:38,266 --> 00:32:40,800
You just felt loved when she,
when she hugged you.
705
00:32:42,367 --> 00:32:46,800
She loved helping others
with being healthy.
706
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:49,367
And she was really
excited about
707
00:32:49,433 --> 00:32:52,367
the Store of Many Colors
opening up.
708
00:32:54,266 --> 00:32:55,240
I answered the phone
and Mom was on the phone.
709
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,467
I answered the phone
and Mom was on the phone.
710
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:04,266
[voice breaking]
And she just kept saying,
"Something bad has happened."
711
00:33:04,333 --> 00:33:09,734
"Something bad has happened."
And she just kept saying it
over and over and over.
712
00:33:09,734 --> 00:33:12,166
And, Dad finally
got on the phone,
713
00:33:12,967 --> 00:33:15,000
and told me
that Sarah had died,
714
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,800
that somebody
had killed Sarah.
715
00:33:17,634 --> 00:33:20,734
And I just remember
losing it.
716
00:33:25,166 --> 00:33:25,240
The murder of Sarah Blessing
is another tragedy
717
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,734
The murder of Sarah Blessing
is another tragedy
718
00:33:28,734 --> 00:33:31,634
in a string
of senseless murders.
719
00:33:31,634 --> 00:33:34,734
[Truesdell]
Starting in Indianapolis,
Robin Fuldauer's murder
720
00:33:34,734 --> 00:33:38,100
was followed three days later
by a murder in Wichita.
721
00:33:38,166 --> 00:33:39,533
Sixteen days
after Robin's murder,
722
00:33:39,533 --> 00:33:42,066
there was another
shooting in Terre Haute.
723
00:33:42,066 --> 00:33:46,100
Seven days after that
was the shooting
in St. Charles.
724
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:49,734
Four days after that
came the shooting
at Raytown, Missouri.
725
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:54,066
All and all this killer
took six lives
726
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:55,240
at five locations
over 29 days.
727
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,734
at five locations
over 29 days.
728
00:33:59,066 --> 00:34:01,734
[Capt. McCarrick]
It's a case that's
hundreds of miles wide,
729
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,634
with suspects possibly
from all over the country.
730
00:34:14,266 --> 00:34:16,500
[Det. Hennessy]
By nature, serial killers
731
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:18,900
don't wanna be caught, ever.
They wanna keep going.
732
00:34:20,734 --> 00:34:22,867
And that was my fear, was that
733
00:34:22,867 --> 00:34:24,533
this person is gonna
keep on going.
734
00:34:38,367 --> 00:34:39,634
[reporter] A shoe store
in Indianapolis,
735
00:34:39,734 --> 00:34:40,900
a ceramic store
in Terre Haute,
736
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,867
a bridal shop in Wichita,
737
00:34:42,867 --> 00:34:45,367
an herbal medicine store
outside Kansas City,
738
00:34:45,367 --> 00:34:47,500
another shoe store
near St. Louis,
739
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:49,533
all murder scenes.
740
00:34:49,533 --> 00:34:51,367
Six victims so far.
741
00:34:51,367 --> 00:34:53,500
Victims of what
police in four states
742
00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:56,900
are almost sure
is a serial killer
on the loose.
743
00:34:57,634 --> 00:34:59,734
And if the pattern
is any indication,
744
00:34:59,734 --> 00:35:02,066
somewhere at along
Interstate 70
745
00:35:02,066 --> 00:35:04,900
more trouble lies ahead.
746
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,175
Detectives began to wonder
if this killer might be
preparing to kill again.
747
00:35:07,175 --> 00:35:10,367
Detectives began to wonder
if this killer might be
preparing to kill again.
748
00:35:10,433 --> 00:35:14,066
So to catch this serial killer
the jurisdictions of each case
749
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:17,867
come together
and form a task force.
750
00:35:17,867 --> 00:35:21,233
There was a task force,
began meeting
on a regular basis
751
00:35:21,233 --> 00:35:22,800
and... and comparing notes,
752
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:25,500
comparing tips
that we received,
753
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:30,066
looking for commonalities
between the crime scenes.
754
00:35:31,734 --> 00:35:34,734
We're trying to keep everybody
in open communications
755
00:35:34,734 --> 00:35:36,367
because a a lot of information
756
00:35:36,367 --> 00:35:37,175
could be lost
if it's not shared.
757
00:35:37,175 --> 00:35:38,867
could be lost
if it's not shared.
758
00:35:38,867 --> 00:35:42,900
The task force turns
to the FBI for help
with the investigation.
759
00:35:44,233 --> 00:35:46,467
[Larry Ankrom]
My name is Larry Ankrom.
I was the chief of
760
00:35:46,467 --> 00:35:49,533
the Behavioral Analysis Unit
at Quantico.
761
00:35:49,634 --> 00:35:52,367
Personally in my career
of 16 years
762
00:35:52,433 --> 00:35:54,900
I never had a serial
homicide case
763
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,233
where the offender
was doing close head shots
764
00:35:58,266 --> 00:36:00,533
multiple times,
victim after victim
after victim.
765
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,367
As I went
through the material,
766
00:36:03,367 --> 00:36:05,533
I started developing
some thoughts on
767
00:36:05,634 --> 00:36:07,175
what I thought
was going on here.
768
00:36:07,175 --> 00:36:07,800
what I thought
was going on here.
769
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,900
He's targeted
commercial businesses
770
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,900
but the motivation
wasn't to rob these places.
771
00:36:17,066 --> 00:36:19,867
The risk of exposure
was really high.
772
00:36:19,867 --> 00:36:22,000
So planning it, executing it,
773
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,367
and escaping,
all those things together,
774
00:36:24,367 --> 00:36:26,800
uh, was... was the real
thrill here.
775
00:36:27,867 --> 00:36:30,533
He's receiving extreme
gratification for this.
776
00:36:30,533 --> 00:36:33,867
This is something that's
really powerful, uh, for him
777
00:36:33,867 --> 00:36:36,000
and keeps driving him.
778
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,175
Special Agent Ankrom
believes he knows
779
00:36:37,175 --> 00:36:38,266
Special Agent Ankrom
believes he knows
780
00:36:38,266 --> 00:36:42,367
why the victims are often
by themselves and female.
781
00:36:42,433 --> 00:36:45,467
I think the reason
they were women victims here
782
00:36:45,467 --> 00:36:49,233
is because he felt he could
control the situation.
783
00:36:49,266 --> 00:36:51,066
He doesn't appear
to be a very big guy.
784
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:54,967
He's been described
as kind of a medium
build or... or less.
785
00:36:54,967 --> 00:36:58,233
So physically
he could get them
to do what he wanted to do
786
00:36:58,266 --> 00:37:00,367
and be out of there
without a problem.
787
00:37:00,433 --> 00:37:02,166
For example he gets
in the ceramics shop
788
00:37:02,166 --> 00:37:04,600
and he see that this is a man
789
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,175
he doesn't take him back
to the back of the store
790
00:37:07,175 --> 00:37:07,467
he doesn't take him back
to the back of the store
791
00:37:07,467 --> 00:37:09,233
like he does everybody else.
792
00:37:09,266 --> 00:37:11,734
He basically shoots him
right where he's working.
793
00:37:11,734 --> 00:37:14,000
He doesn't feel
like he has the ability
794
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,533
to handle, uh,
this male employee.
795
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:21,367
He travelled over 1,600 miles
796
00:37:21,433 --> 00:37:24,634
in the 29 days that all this
was taking place.
797
00:37:24,734 --> 00:37:28,500
It was clear to me
that he was not
there by accident.
798
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,734
He was on the road a lot.
Most likely had a job
799
00:37:30,734 --> 00:37:33,233
which took him
to these locations.
800
00:37:33,266 --> 00:37:36,634
Special Agent Ankrom
also believes he can deduce
801
00:37:36,734 --> 00:37:37,175
where the suspect lives
based on the location
and timing of the murders.
802
00:37:37,175 --> 00:37:41,533
where the suspect lives
based on the location
and timing of the murders.
803
00:37:41,533 --> 00:37:45,734
[Ankrom] Once he experienced
difficulty in Wichita
where he has a witness
804
00:37:45,734 --> 00:37:49,233
that comes into the store
to pick up a cummerbund,
805
00:37:49,266 --> 00:37:51,967
where does he go next?
He goes back to Indiana.
806
00:37:51,967 --> 00:37:53,734
He's actually
only 70 miles away
807
00:37:53,734 --> 00:37:55,600
from where
he did his first case.
808
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,634
That leads me
to the belief that
809
00:37:57,734 --> 00:38:02,266
he has some connection
to the Indianapolis area.
810
00:38:04,066 --> 00:38:06,967
In the weeks and months
that follow, the local press
811
00:38:06,967 --> 00:38:07,175
names the suspect
the I-70 Killer.
812
00:38:07,175 --> 00:38:10,500
names the suspect
the I-70 Killer.
813
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:12,734
Because all of the victims
have been killed
814
00:38:12,734 --> 00:38:15,100
in close relation
to Interstate 70.
815
00:38:21,533 --> 00:38:23,533
[Capt. Floyd] It definitely
started catching traction.
816
00:38:23,533 --> 00:38:25,100
There were hundreds
and hundreds of tips
817
00:38:25,100 --> 00:38:27,233
coming in that had to be
followed up on
818
00:38:27,233 --> 00:38:30,467
and I mean, it... a
tremendous amount of manpower
819
00:38:30,467 --> 00:38:32,266
on all agencies.
820
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:36,967
[Janine] Meanwhile
the FBI lab detects
821
00:38:36,967 --> 00:38:37,175
a substance
in all the shell casings
822
00:38:37,175 --> 00:38:39,166
a substance
in all the shell casings
823
00:38:39,166 --> 00:38:40,900
that nobody noticed before.
824
00:38:42,166 --> 00:38:43,734
They noticed a small amount
825
00:38:43,734 --> 00:38:45,533
of red substance
on these casings.
826
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:49,000
The red substance
is found to be a mixture
827
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,634
of an industrial abrasive
called corundum
828
00:38:51,734 --> 00:38:53,266
and jewelers rouge.
829
00:38:53,266 --> 00:38:55,500
Both can be used
to polish and buff metal
830
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:58,533
and investigators question
why this unusual mixture
831
00:38:58,634 --> 00:39:01,266
would be present
on the casings.
832
00:39:01,266 --> 00:39:05,467
[Det. Rhodes]
One thought in why somebody
would have used this,
833
00:39:05,533 --> 00:39:06,734
it helps the cartridge
834
00:39:06,734 --> 00:39:07,175
feed through the gun
much easier.
835
00:39:07,175 --> 00:39:09,367
feed through the gun
much easier.
836
00:39:09,367 --> 00:39:11,066
So it could have been
to try to prevent
837
00:39:11,066 --> 00:39:13,533
the gun from jamming.
838
00:39:13,533 --> 00:39:15,634
It shows some amount
of care for the firearm
839
00:39:15,734 --> 00:39:17,166
that goes beyond what,
840
00:39:17,166 --> 00:39:19,734
uh, you know,
most robbers would do.
841
00:39:21,367 --> 00:39:23,900
[Det. Rhodes] Also the FBI
were able to give us
842
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,367
a list of about seven
to eight different firearms
843
00:39:27,367 --> 00:39:29,600
that it could have been.
844
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,367
[Det. Relph] But some of those
weapons were eliminated
845
00:39:31,367 --> 00:39:32,867
'cause they were revolvers
846
00:39:32,867 --> 00:39:34,800
or they were derringers,
847
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:37,175
and those kind of weapons
don't use a shell casing.
848
00:39:37,175 --> 00:39:38,066
and those kind of weapons
don't use a shell casing.
849
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:41,066
So now you're down to
just a few semi-automatic guns
850
00:39:41,066 --> 00:39:44,634
and then you combine
that with the description
851
00:39:44,734 --> 00:39:47,066
that the witness in Wichita
has provided,
852
00:39:47,066 --> 00:39:51,367
and you are down
to very few guns
that meet all those criteria.
853
00:39:52,266 --> 00:39:54,367
The witness in Wichita had,
854
00:39:54,433 --> 00:39:58,367
uh, described
the gun as, you know,
having a wooden grip
855
00:39:58,433 --> 00:40:01,867
and just the way
that he physically
described the gun
856
00:40:01,867 --> 00:40:05,066
we were able to narrow
down that list even further
857
00:40:05,066 --> 00:40:07,175
to an Erma Werke ET22.
858
00:40:07,175 --> 00:40:08,333
to an Erma Werke ET22.
859
00:40:10,066 --> 00:40:13,734
Which was
a German naval pistol.
860
00:40:13,734 --> 00:40:17,467
The Erma Werke
is the only one that really
seems to fit that description.
861
00:40:18,734 --> 00:40:20,734
[Capt. Floyd]
Erma Werke is probably
862
00:40:20,734 --> 00:40:23,000
a foot-and-a-half,
two foot long.
863
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,266
Uh, it's got a wooden
forearm on it
but it is a pistol.
864
00:40:28,266 --> 00:40:29,900
[Det. Rhodes] Really
it's more of a collectible.
865
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,367
It's not typically what
somebody would take
866
00:40:32,433 --> 00:40:35,867
if they're, um,
planning, on... on...
867
00:40:35,867 --> 00:40:37,175
on killing people.
868
00:40:37,175 --> 00:40:37,367
on killing people.
869
00:40:37,367 --> 00:40:39,233
Um, it's just not...
870
00:40:39,266 --> 00:40:41,467
it's just not your
typical murder weapon.
871
00:40:42,367 --> 00:40:44,233
The agencies
and the task force
872
00:40:44,266 --> 00:40:46,233
work on finding
this unusual gun.
873
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:50,900
Only about 6,000
were imported
from Germany.
874
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,367
So, I mean, 6,000
out of how many guns
there really are,
875
00:40:54,367 --> 00:40:56,734
I mean, that's
really not very many.
876
00:40:56,734 --> 00:40:59,066
It's not a good firearm
877
00:40:59,066 --> 00:41:01,233
in terms of
the mechanics of it.
878
00:41:01,233 --> 00:41:02,533
The action, it jams.
879
00:41:02,533 --> 00:41:04,734
The action
doesn't work too well.
880
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,734
If you go and buy that gun
881
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:07,175
you're buying it
as a collector's item
882
00:41:07,175 --> 00:41:09,367
you're buying it
as a collector's item
883
00:41:09,433 --> 00:41:11,900
because you like
the appearance of it.
884
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,367
[Capt. Floyd] He could
have been a gun enthusiast.
885
00:41:13,367 --> 00:41:15,233
I mean they did give
several leads
886
00:41:15,266 --> 00:41:17,233
for people that had
this type of weapon
887
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:19,100
that they had bought
at different gun shows
888
00:41:19,166 --> 00:41:20,867
and if we're able
to locate this weapon
889
00:41:20,867 --> 00:41:22,734
then... then we can start
tracking backwards
890
00:41:22,734 --> 00:41:23,900
and see where it came from.
891
00:41:25,367 --> 00:41:28,367
But with the amount
of news coverage,
892
00:41:28,367 --> 00:41:30,800
very likely this suspect
could've changed weapons.
893
00:41:31,967 --> 00:41:33,900
Serial killer do evolve.
894
00:41:36,233 --> 00:41:37,175
While law enforcement
continues to follow up
on leads,
895
00:41:37,175 --> 00:41:39,266
While law enforcement
continues to follow up
on leads,
896
00:41:39,266 --> 00:41:42,367
investigators ask family
and friends of the victims
897
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:43,900
to help to get the word out.
898
00:41:44,734 --> 00:41:47,100
[Mark] I did every interview,
every anything,
899
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:48,967
passed out flyers, uh,
900
00:41:48,967 --> 00:41:52,066
I did anything I could do
to try to, uh,
901
00:41:52,100 --> 00:41:53,533
get it out there to the public
902
00:41:53,634 --> 00:41:56,634
and hopefully somebody
would recognize this person.
903
00:41:56,734 --> 00:41:59,000
She'll never
rest in peace until...
904
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,166
at least in my mind,
until this guy is put away.
905
00:42:05,734 --> 00:42:07,175
Then in 1994
906
00:42:07,175 --> 00:42:07,600
Then in 1994
907
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,433
they come across another case
908
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,367
but this time in Houston.
909
00:42:20,367 --> 00:42:24,100
[Janine]
In the late morning of
January 15th, 1994,
910
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:26,734
Houston 911 dispatch
gets a call
911
00:42:26,734 --> 00:42:27,900
from a young man,
912
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,467
reporting he
and his girlfriend
913
00:42:29,467 --> 00:42:30,533
walked into a store
914
00:42:31,634 --> 00:42:33,634
and found the clerk
on the ground.
915
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,367
[ambulance siren]
916
00:42:35,367 --> 00:42:36,467
[Jeff]
She had been shot,
917
00:42:36,533 --> 00:42:37,175
and yet, she was still
clinging for life.
918
00:42:37,175 --> 00:42:39,166
and yet, she was still
clinging for life.
919
00:42:39,166 --> 00:42:40,533
And rushed to the hospital.
920
00:42:42,734 --> 00:42:46,734
[Janine] X-rays revealed
the bullet is embedded
in her spinal column
921
00:42:46,734 --> 00:42:49,100
and it's dangerously close
to threatening paralysis
922
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:50,233
and even death.
923
00:42:53,533 --> 00:42:55,100
For the next 24 hours
924
00:42:55,166 --> 00:42:57,233
with the bullet
still in her neck,
925
00:42:57,734 --> 00:42:59,800
the victim holds on
to life.
926
00:43:08,867 --> 00:43:10,000
My name is Vicki Webb
927
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,367
and may be the only
living survivor
928
00:43:12,367 --> 00:43:14,467
of the I-70 serial killer.
929
00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:22,367
In 1993, I chose to go
into business for myself.
930
00:43:22,367 --> 00:43:25,533
And I opened
a small shop in Houston.
931
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:28,066
My shop was very whimsical.
932
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,533
It was bright, colorful,
cheery.
933
00:43:31,533 --> 00:43:33,533
I did have a young
daughter at the time.
934
00:43:33,634 --> 00:43:36,367
And so supporting her
was important.
935
00:43:36,367 --> 00:43:37,175
My daughter and I were
very much a unit.
936
00:43:37,175 --> 00:43:38,600
My daughter and I were
very much a unit.
937
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,800
And she enjoyed the store
as much as I did.
938
00:43:43,367 --> 00:43:45,734
[Janine]
But on January 15th, 1994,
939
00:43:45,734 --> 00:43:48,333
Vicki's life changed
in an instant.
940
00:43:49,967 --> 00:43:51,233
[bell dinging]
941
00:43:51,233 --> 00:43:54,333
[Vicki]
It was late morning before
I got my first customer.
942
00:43:55,266 --> 00:43:57,367
The man walked in the store
943
00:43:57,367 --> 00:43:59,367
and he as looking around
944
00:43:59,433 --> 00:44:01,233
and looking at the windows
945
00:44:01,266 --> 00:44:03,367
and talking about meeting
his niece.
946
00:44:03,367 --> 00:44:05,333
And I just chatted
with him.
947
00:44:07,266 --> 00:44:10,500
He did ask me about
how much traffic
the store generated.
948
00:44:10,500 --> 00:44:12,800
I'm very honest,
so I answered him,
949
00:44:12,900 --> 00:44:15,066
"In January, no,
it's a slow time."
950
00:44:15,066 --> 00:44:17,900
And that "There was no traffic
coming into the store."
951
00:44:19,066 --> 00:44:22,533
He pointed at a frame
that he wanted to purchase.
952
00:44:23,367 --> 00:44:25,166
And I picked up the frame
953
00:44:25,166 --> 00:44:27,800
and was walking back
to write up his sale.
954
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,233
I was almost at the desk.
955
00:44:34,734 --> 00:44:36,967
[gun fires]
956
00:44:36,967 --> 00:44:37,175
And I just remember seeing
I was just falling.
957
00:44:37,175 --> 00:44:40,634
And I just remember seeing
I was just falling.
958
00:44:42,367 --> 00:44:43,467
I remember thinking,
959
00:44:43,467 --> 00:44:45,066
"Oh, God, please don't
take me now,
960
00:44:45,066 --> 00:44:47,166
I have a 13-year-old
daughter."
961
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,166
He jumped over me,
962
00:44:51,166 --> 00:44:53,467
went to the cash register.
963
00:44:53,467 --> 00:44:55,800
I heard him riffle through.
964
00:44:56,634 --> 00:44:58,233
And he came back up to me.
965
00:44:59,734 --> 00:45:01,467
I knew
966
00:45:01,533 --> 00:45:04,734
that if he thought
I was alive,
967
00:45:04,734 --> 00:45:06,100
I wouldn't be.
968
00:45:06,166 --> 00:45:07,175
So I played dead.
969
00:45:07,175 --> 00:45:07,367
So I played dead.
970
00:45:09,166 --> 00:45:10,500
He rolled me over.
971
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:12,734
He pulled down my pants
and my underwear.
972
00:45:13,367 --> 00:45:17,000
He put the gun up
to my forehead
973
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,734
I just remember
feeling the cold,
974
00:45:19,734 --> 00:45:21,900
terribly painful
on my forehead
975
00:45:22,367 --> 00:45:23,500
and hearing the click.
976
00:45:23,500 --> 00:45:24,734
[gun clicks]
977
00:45:24,734 --> 00:45:26,367
And hearing him laugh.
978
00:45:27,967 --> 00:45:29,233
It was a very...
979
00:45:29,367 --> 00:45:30,533
giddy laugh.
980
00:45:30,634 --> 00:45:33,367
It was a thrill.
It was a... um...
981
00:45:34,166 --> 00:45:35,900
It was a horrible laugh.
982
00:45:38,066 --> 00:45:40,900
And then I heard
a car door shut outside.
983
00:45:41,867 --> 00:45:44,533
And he got up
and he left very quickly.
984
00:45:47,367 --> 00:45:49,467
I was waiting for him
to come back.
985
00:45:49,467 --> 00:45:51,266
I thought, well,
I need to get up.
986
00:45:51,266 --> 00:45:52,734
Something's definitely wrong,
987
00:45:52,734 --> 00:45:56,433
because, "Oh, my Gosh,
I can't feel anything."
988
00:46:01,266 --> 00:46:02,800
And the door dinged
again.
989
00:46:04,066 --> 00:46:06,467
But this nice young
couple came in,
990
00:46:06,533 --> 00:46:07,175
and I said,
991
00:46:07,175 --> 00:46:07,367
and I said,
992
00:46:07,367 --> 00:46:10,233
"Excuse me, can you please
call 911?
993
00:46:10,266 --> 00:46:11,433
I've been shot."
994
00:46:12,734 --> 00:46:14,066
And right after that
995
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:18,333
the most excruciating pain
that I've ever experienced,
996
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,900
instant, instantaneous.
997
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,900
We made it all the way
to the hospital.
998
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,433
I never lost consciousness.
999
00:46:29,367 --> 00:46:31,266
The neurologist said
1000
00:46:31,266 --> 00:46:33,467
we think your vital signs
are dropping,
1001
00:46:33,533 --> 00:46:35,467
we think we going to
have to do the surgery.
1002
00:46:35,533 --> 00:46:36,734
We need to do it now.
1003
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:37,175
The surgery may put
you on a respirator
1004
00:46:37,175 --> 00:46:39,266
The surgery may put
you on a respirator
1005
00:46:39,266 --> 00:46:42,166
for the rest of your life
even if it's successful.
1006
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,000
And I looked at him
and I said,
1007
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,266
"Well, no, you can't do
surgery."
1008
00:46:48,266 --> 00:46:51,467
"I have no intention of
being on a respirator."
1009
00:46:51,467 --> 00:46:54,600
"I'm going to be just fine."
1010
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,100
I knew I would live.
I knew I would see
my daughter grow up.
1011
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,100
I knew I was
going to be okay.
1012
00:47:00,867 --> 00:47:02,233
While I was in the hospital,
1013
00:47:02,266 --> 00:47:04,533
the Houston Police artist
came in
1014
00:47:04,867 --> 00:47:06,166
to do a sketch.
1015
00:47:07,066 --> 00:47:07,175
I told him
sandy brown hair, Caucasian.
1016
00:47:07,175 --> 00:47:09,634
I told him
sandy brown hair, Caucasian.
1017
00:47:09,734 --> 00:47:11,367
Brown eyes, no glasses.
1018
00:47:11,367 --> 00:47:14,734
He was wearing Ropers,
which is a Texas cowboy
boots.
1019
00:47:14,734 --> 00:47:16,367
And he was very short.
1020
00:47:16,433 --> 00:47:18,233
So I thought
he was a jockey.
1021
00:47:18,266 --> 00:47:21,634
His voice was very low,
gravely...
1022
00:47:21,867 --> 00:47:23,066
uh... voice.
1023
00:47:23,467 --> 00:47:25,467
And told the police,
1024
00:47:25,467 --> 00:47:27,634
"If he's out there,
I want him caught."
1025
00:47:29,266 --> 00:47:32,166
As Houston police searched
for her attacker,
1026
00:47:32,166 --> 00:47:35,233
Vicki Webb begins a very
challenging recovery.
1027
00:47:36,233 --> 00:47:37,175
[Vicki]
I am completely bed ridden
1028
00:47:37,175 --> 00:47:37,734
[Vicki]
I am completely bed ridden
1029
00:47:37,734 --> 00:47:40,634
without the ability to
truly move.
1030
00:47:41,867 --> 00:47:43,734
You have to learn
to walk again.
1031
00:47:43,734 --> 00:47:46,100
You have to learn to
go to the bathroom again.
1032
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:47,533
You have to learn
to feed yourself,
1033
00:47:47,533 --> 00:47:49,433
and use your arms
and your legs.
1034
00:47:51,867 --> 00:47:54,367
[Janine]
Vicki continues to
fight her paralysis.
1035
00:47:54,367 --> 00:47:56,867
And over the course
of next three months,
1036
00:47:56,867 --> 00:47:58,734
she regains her ability
to walk.
1037
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,533
But Houston PD have not
made any traction in finding
her attacker.
1038
00:48:05,233 --> 00:48:07,175
Months later, she gets
a telephone call
1039
00:48:07,175 --> 00:48:07,367
Months later, she gets
a telephone call
1040
00:48:07,367 --> 00:48:09,533
out of the blue from
Wichita Police Department.
1041
00:48:09,634 --> 00:48:10,800
They tell her
1042
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,734
they think she might be
connected to the I-70
serial killer.
1043
00:48:17,533 --> 00:48:19,533
[Hennessy]
We became aware about
Vicki
1044
00:48:19,634 --> 00:48:22,000
way up in Houston
due to the fact that
1045
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,533
that M.O. was so similar.
1046
00:48:23,967 --> 00:48:25,100
Female victim,
1047
00:48:25,166 --> 00:48:28,100
shot once at close range
with a 22.
1048
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:32,100
Middle of the day time,
at a store that's typically
not robbery target.
1049
00:48:33,266 --> 00:48:35,634
[Vicki]
I was already back working
at the shop when
1050
00:48:35,734 --> 00:48:37,175
I was questioned
by Mike Hennessy.
1051
00:48:37,175 --> 00:48:38,367
I was questioned
by Mike Hennessy.
1052
00:48:38,367 --> 00:48:41,367
And that was the first time
I was introduced
1053
00:48:41,734 --> 00:48:42,867
to the possibility
1054
00:48:42,867 --> 00:48:45,800
that this wasn't just
a single random act,
1055
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,266
and the fact that
this person...
1056
00:48:49,266 --> 00:48:52,000
uh... had done this
for so long
1057
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,367
and he has
never been caught.
1058
00:48:54,367 --> 00:48:56,433
How... How...
How is this possible?
1059
00:49:00,066 --> 00:49:03,467
[Janine] Detective Hennessy
feels like a lot of
the details align,
1060
00:49:03,467 --> 00:49:04,634
except for one.
1061
00:49:06,967 --> 00:49:07,175
[Hennessy]
There was a sexual component,
1062
00:49:07,175 --> 00:49:08,100
[Hennessy]
There was a sexual component,
1063
00:49:08,166 --> 00:49:11,000
which we did not have
in Mid-West cases.
1064
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:11,967
She wasn't raped
or anything,
1065
00:49:11,967 --> 00:49:14,467
but her clothes were
messed with.
1066
00:49:15,734 --> 00:49:19,000
He's never pulled
down anyone's trousers.
1067
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,367
So there are some things
that don't add up.
1068
00:49:22,367 --> 00:49:25,367
[Hennessy]
And there was no shell casing
left at the scene,
1069
00:49:25,367 --> 00:49:27,800
that made
ballistic comparisons
impossible to do.
1070
00:49:29,634 --> 00:49:31,100
Without a shell casing
1071
00:49:31,166 --> 00:49:32,800
to compare to
the other murders,
1072
00:49:32,900 --> 00:49:35,233
the I-70 task force
asked Vicki
1073
00:49:35,266 --> 00:49:36,900
to come to Wichita
1074
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:37,175
to see if there are
other ways
1075
00:49:37,175 --> 00:49:38,467
to see if there are
other ways
1076
00:49:38,533 --> 00:49:41,467
to definitively link her
to the I-70 killer.
1077
00:49:42,500 --> 00:49:44,467
[Hennessy]
I remember being impressed
by Viki Webb.
1078
00:49:44,533 --> 00:49:45,734
She's just
an amazing woman.
1079
00:49:45,734 --> 00:49:48,000
And, uh, not many people
1080
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,800
like to talk about things
like that happened to
them,
1081
00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:51,433
especially when
they're so near to death.
1082
00:49:52,533 --> 00:49:55,734
We got a little more
information on the profile,
1083
00:49:55,734 --> 00:49:58,266
what our killer might
be like personally.
1084
00:49:58,266 --> 00:50:03,867
[Vicki]
And I was shown the prior
sketch of the I-70 killer.
1085
00:50:03,867 --> 00:50:05,367
And kept saying,
1086
00:50:05,367 --> 00:50:07,175
"Okay, that's not
exactly correct,
1087
00:50:07,175 --> 00:50:07,967
"Okay, that's not
exactly correct,
1088
00:50:07,967 --> 00:50:09,367
but neither is mine."
1089
00:50:09,367 --> 00:50:12,367
She remembered more of
a withered look, maybe
a little bit older.
1090
00:50:12,433 --> 00:50:14,467
We had our guy
done a little bit younger,
1091
00:50:14,533 --> 00:50:16,100
but it's been a year later,
1092
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:18,166
we don't know what
kind of lifestyle he has.
1093
00:50:18,166 --> 00:50:20,800
[Vicki]
I was shown photos.
1094
00:50:21,367 --> 00:50:22,734
But I told Mike Hennessy
1095
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,734
that a recording
as opposed to a photo,
1096
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,367
I would be able to recognize.
1097
00:50:28,367 --> 00:50:33,433
I 100% believed,
if I hear the voice,
I will know it.
1098
00:50:34,266 --> 00:50:37,175
Sadly, police cannot
pursue a voice.
1099
00:50:37,175 --> 00:50:37,634
Sadly, police cannot
pursue a voice.
1100
00:50:37,734 --> 00:50:42,500
And none of the photos
or sketches spark
any significant recognition.
1101
00:50:42,500 --> 00:50:46,967
And, in time,
Vicki Webb's case
stalls like the others.
1102
00:50:46,967 --> 00:50:50,867
Do I believe that this... that
I was shot by this person?
1103
00:50:50,867 --> 00:50:52,867
Yes, actually, I do.
1104
00:50:52,867 --> 00:50:55,367
He needs to be either
dead or caught.
1105
00:50:55,433 --> 00:50:56,634
So he doesn't do this again.
1106
00:50:58,734 --> 00:51:02,000
[Janine]
After Vicki's shooting,
the case completely stalls.
1107
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,066
Years pass since the original
I-70 murder spree.
1108
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:06,867
And the task force
considers the option
1109
00:51:06,867 --> 00:51:07,175
that their killer may have
already been apprehended
1110
00:51:07,175 --> 00:51:09,367
that their killer may have
already been apprehended
1111
00:51:09,367 --> 00:51:10,734
for another crime.
1112
00:51:13,367 --> 00:51:15,500
[Larry]
I thought it makes a lot
of sense
1113
00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:18,467
to take a look at
convicted individuals
1114
00:51:18,533 --> 00:51:22,800
because it's a possibility
that he was arrested
on some other charge.
1115
00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:26,467
[Janine]
Police here some stories
from prison
1116
00:51:26,467 --> 00:51:28,734
that they hope will lead
them to their killer.
1117
00:51:28,734 --> 00:51:31,634
Like a jailhouse rumor
from a prison in Texas.
1118
00:51:34,166 --> 00:51:35,734
He definitely was eluding
to the fact
1119
00:51:35,734 --> 00:51:37,175
that he was the one
responsible.
1120
00:51:37,175 --> 00:51:37,533
that he was the one
responsible.
1121
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,367
[Janine] In 1995,
1122
00:51:48,367 --> 00:51:51,634
a federal agent in Texas
calls the St. Charles PD,
1123
00:51:51,734 --> 00:51:54,533
informing them of some recent
jailhouse rumors
1124
00:51:54,533 --> 00:51:57,333
about an inmate named
Robert Craig Cox
1125
00:51:57,367 --> 00:52:00,800
claiming to be responsible
for the I-70 murders.
1126
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:06,634
[McCarrick] Robert Craig Cox
was involved in
some armed robberies
1127
00:52:06,634 --> 00:52:10,367
similar to the ones
in this series.
1128
00:52:10,367 --> 00:52:14,401
He was convicted of
murder in the Orlando area
in the late '70s.
1129
00:52:14,401 --> 00:52:15,000
He was convicted of
murder in the Orlando area
in the late '70s.
1130
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,433
But the Florida Supreme Court
1131
00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:20,533
overturned the case.
1132
00:52:20,533 --> 00:52:24,800
He was also arrested
for various abductions
1133
00:52:24,900 --> 00:52:26,900
and sexual assaults
in California.
1134
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,734
As well as being a suspect
in Springfield Three.
1135
00:52:31,100 --> 00:52:33,734
[Janine]
The Springfield Three
is an infamous
1136
00:52:33,734 --> 00:52:37,367
unsolved missing persons case
from June of 1992.
1137
00:52:37,367 --> 00:52:40,000
Three women went missing
from Missouri,
1138
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,433
just weeks after the I-70
killer's attacks.
1139
00:52:43,500 --> 00:52:44,401
Police investigates
Robert Cox's whereabouts
in 1992
1140
00:52:44,401 --> 00:52:46,900
Police investigates
Robert Cox's whereabouts
in 1992
1141
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,734
and found that he was
in the vicinity
1142
00:52:48,734 --> 00:52:51,433
of the I-70 murders
around the time
they were committed.
1143
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,900
[Floyd] We have an information
that would've put him
on Highway 70.
1144
00:52:56,900 --> 00:52:59,433
And he had family
in Columbia, Missouri.
1145
00:53:01,266 --> 00:53:02,634
[Janine] In 1995,
1146
00:53:02,634 --> 00:53:06,233
Cox is serving a life sentence
in Texas
for aggravated robbery.
1147
00:53:06,266 --> 00:53:08,233
Investigators decide
to pay him a visit
1148
00:53:08,266 --> 00:53:10,000
and see if the rumors
are true.
1149
00:53:11,533 --> 00:53:14,401
[Rhodes]
Our detectives visited him
numerous times in prison.
1150
00:53:14,401 --> 00:53:16,634
[Rhodes]
Our detectives visited him
numerous times in prison.
1151
00:53:16,734 --> 00:53:21,533
He kept saying, "I'll tell you
everything
once all my appeals are over."
1152
00:53:21,634 --> 00:53:23,433
Well, his appeals
are exhausted,
1153
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,233
and he still wouldn't talk.
1154
00:53:25,266 --> 00:53:27,800
After that it was,
"Well, once my mother
passes away,
1155
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,266
then I will tell you."
1156
00:53:29,266 --> 00:53:32,100
Well, his mother passed away
and he still wouldn't
say anything.
1157
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,533
So after a while it just
kind of seemed,
1158
00:53:35,634 --> 00:53:38,634
you know, this guy is just
saying this for attention.
1159
00:53:39,266 --> 00:53:41,367
He was never able to
really provide
1160
00:53:41,367 --> 00:53:44,401
those really detailed
events
about each of these murders
1161
00:53:44,401 --> 00:53:44,900
those really detailed
events
about each of these murders
1162
00:53:44,900 --> 00:53:46,734
that only the murderer
would know.
1163
00:53:49,166 --> 00:53:52,533
Plus, there are differences
in the nature of Cox's crimes
1164
00:53:52,533 --> 00:53:57,100
and the I-70 killings
that investigators cannot
reconcile.
1165
00:53:57,100 --> 00:54:01,100
All of his crimes carry
some sort of sexual component.
1166
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:04,900
Whereas that is not the case
in any of the I-70
serial killings.
1167
00:54:06,533 --> 00:54:09,467
And he never did confess
to anything.
1168
00:54:09,467 --> 00:54:12,000
[McCarrick]
He's still in prison
in Texas.
1169
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,166
Probably never get out.
1170
00:54:16,166 --> 00:54:19,333
[Janine] Investigators could
never completely rule out
Robert Cox.
1171
00:54:19,367 --> 00:54:21,467
But they have to explore
other suspects.
1172
00:54:21,467 --> 00:54:24,000
And soon after in 1996,
1173
00:54:24,066 --> 00:54:25,533
they hear of another
suspect
1174
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,900
who is also in prison.
1175
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,367
[McCarrick] We had
information from one of
Alden Baker's cellmates
1176
00:54:33,367 --> 00:54:37,000
that he was
claiming responsibility
for these crimes.
1177
00:54:37,867 --> 00:54:39,367
[Janine] In 1996,
1178
00:54:39,367 --> 00:54:42,800
Baker is serving time
at a federal prison
in Leavenworth, Kansas
1179
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:44,401
for armed robbery,
handgun charges,
and sexual offenses.
1180
00:54:44,401 --> 00:54:46,333
for armed robbery,
handgun charges,
and sexual offenses.
1181
00:54:47,734 --> 00:54:49,533
[McCarrick]
He certainly was
a career criminal.
1182
00:54:49,533 --> 00:54:53,467
His first incarceration,
I think, was age 13.
1183
00:54:53,467 --> 00:54:56,166
And he spent a lot of
time in Indiana.
1184
00:54:56,166 --> 00:54:59,166
In fact, he was in the
Indiana penal system.
1185
00:54:59,166 --> 00:55:02,233
Not far from the crime scene
in the Indianapolis.
1186
00:55:03,266 --> 00:55:07,233
He was released
from there
on an armed robbery charge
1187
00:55:07,734 --> 00:55:10,166
in June 1991.
1188
00:55:10,233 --> 00:55:14,401
So nine months or so
before the crimes
in this series began.
1189
00:55:14,401 --> 00:55:14,900
So nine months or so
before the crimes
in this series began.
1190
00:55:16,734 --> 00:55:19,467
[Janine]
What sticks out to detectives
is that, Baker
1191
00:55:19,467 --> 00:55:21,900
is currently doing time
for a number of crimes
1192
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,734
that are very similar to
the I-70 killer's M.O.
1193
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:28,000
Including robbing a store
in the same St. Charles mall
1194
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,900
where Nancy Kitzmiller
was killed.
1195
00:55:30,900 --> 00:55:33,800
[McCarrick]
We know that he robbed
that Hallmark store
1196
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,433
some weeks prior to
the murder.
1197
00:55:38,367 --> 00:55:40,734
So McCarrick and others
from the task force
1198
00:55:40,734 --> 00:55:42,800
sit down with Baker
face to face.
1199
00:55:46,166 --> 00:55:47,900
[McCarrick]
So went to interview him
1200
00:55:47,900 --> 00:55:50,634
at the federal prison
at Leavenworth, Kansas.
1201
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,100
And in short order,
Baker... drops a bomb.
1202
00:55:57,367 --> 00:55:59,433
[McCarrick]
Immediately, he confessed
1203
00:56:00,533 --> 00:56:03,800
to the crime in St. Charles
and the one in Wichita.
1204
00:56:05,166 --> 00:56:08,800
[Janine]
McCarrick and his team press
Alden Baker on the details
1205
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,166
of these crimes.
1206
00:56:11,233 --> 00:56:14,266
[McCarrick]
He told us that
he was a drug addict
1207
00:56:14,266 --> 00:56:14,401
and his memory
was distorted
1208
00:56:14,401 --> 00:56:17,266
and his memory
was distorted
1209
00:56:17,266 --> 00:56:19,166
by his drug use.
1210
00:56:19,233 --> 00:56:21,166
[Floyd]
Some of the stuff
that Baker told
1211
00:56:21,233 --> 00:56:24,433
was not accurate to
what actually happened at
some of the crime scenes.
1212
00:56:26,166 --> 00:56:30,467
[McCarrick]
He did ask us for copies
of crime-scene reports
1213
00:56:30,467 --> 00:56:32,100
That was a red flag
to us.
1214
00:56:32,100 --> 00:56:34,166
That's something
that somebody does
1215
00:56:34,166 --> 00:56:37,734
when they're trying to claim
responsibility for a crime.
1216
00:56:37,734 --> 00:56:39,533
[Floyd]
Some of these people when
they get in trouble
1217
00:56:39,533 --> 00:56:41,533
they wanna put stuff
like this on the resumes.
1218
00:56:41,533 --> 00:56:44,401
So there's stuff that makes
me suspicious of him
being our killer.
1219
00:56:44,401 --> 00:56:45,000
So there's stuff that makes
me suspicious of him
being our killer.
1220
00:56:47,734 --> 00:56:49,000
Detectives begin to think
1221
00:56:49,066 --> 00:56:52,166
that maybe Baker is laying
claim to the murders to
1222
00:56:52,233 --> 00:56:54,266
improve his social standing
in prison.
1223
00:56:54,266 --> 00:56:58,333
But they soon deduce that
the reality is far darker.
1224
00:56:58,367 --> 00:57:00,166
He wasn't trying to get
out of jail.
1225
00:57:00,233 --> 00:57:02,000
He knew he was never
gonna get out of jail.
1226
00:57:02,066 --> 00:57:04,000
He was looking to get
the death penalty.
1227
00:57:05,634 --> 00:57:06,800
Some years later,
1228
00:57:06,900 --> 00:57:10,433
he committed suicide
in the federal prison.
1229
00:57:12,367 --> 00:57:14,401
[Janine]
As the investigation stretches
into the late 1990s,
1230
00:57:14,401 --> 00:57:16,100
[Janine]
As the investigation stretches
into the late 1990s,
1231
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:20,433
authorities track down leads,
which unfortunately
don't lead to their killer.
1232
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:25,533
Then in 2001, in Terre Haute,
Indiana,
1233
00:57:25,634 --> 00:57:26,900
there is a new shooting.
1234
00:57:26,900 --> 00:57:31,433
And police believe
the I-70 killer may have
finally resurfaced.
1235
00:57:32,266 --> 00:57:34,166
In November of 2001,
1236
00:57:34,166 --> 00:57:36,333
I was a patrol officer.
1237
00:57:36,734 --> 00:57:38,634
I was working in,
1238
00:57:38,634 --> 00:57:40,900
what we call Three Districts
in Terre Haute.
1239
00:57:41,900 --> 00:57:44,401
On the night of November
30th, 2001,
1240
00:57:44,401 --> 00:57:45,100
On the night of November
30th, 2001,
1241
00:57:45,867 --> 00:57:47,900
I was on patrol at about
1242
00:57:48,900 --> 00:57:50,533
two and half years on the job.
1243
00:57:51,734 --> 00:57:55,800
And I was sent to
7th & 70 Liquor Stores.
1244
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,734
It was a shots-fired call.
1245
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,900
I pulled up on the west end
of the building and parked
over there.
1246
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:12,800
I was there alone,
no one else had responded
1247
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,401
at that time and arrived yet.
1248
00:58:14,401 --> 00:58:15,000
at that time and arrived yet.
1249
00:58:15,066 --> 00:58:18,533
And I wasn't sure what
I was walking into.
1250
00:58:20,367 --> 00:58:23,100
As I got further back in,
1251
00:58:23,166 --> 00:58:26,533
I recognized that there
was someone's feet.
1252
00:58:26,533 --> 00:58:31,634
I turned the corner
and there was a man lying on
his stomach.
1253
00:58:32,367 --> 00:58:34,433
And he was bleeding...
1254
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,433
uh... excessively.
1255
00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:39,734
He was lying right here.
1256
00:58:41,266 --> 00:58:43,367
I did attempt to
1257
00:58:43,367 --> 00:58:44,401
rouse him to see if there's
any kind of sign of life.
1258
00:58:44,401 --> 00:58:47,800
rouse him to see if there's
any kind of sign of life.
1259
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,533
And I got nothing.
1260
00:58:49,533 --> 00:58:55,166
And then I recognized that
there was clearly a bullet
wound to the back of his head.
1261
00:58:55,166 --> 00:58:56,533
It was a fairly large wound.
1262
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:06,100
I was the first person
to realize
1263
00:59:06,166 --> 00:59:08,800
the tragedy that had
unfolded in the store.
1264
00:59:08,900 --> 00:59:11,634
Someone's life had just
changed forever.
1265
00:59:11,734 --> 00:59:14,401
And it turns out a lot of
somebody's lives
had changed forever.
1266
00:59:14,401 --> 00:59:16,166
And it turns out a lot of
somebody's lives
had changed forever.
1267
00:59:17,266 --> 00:59:19,333
The victim, Billy Brossman
1268
00:59:19,367 --> 00:59:22,634
was a father of young
five-year-old, I believe,
at the time.
1269
00:59:22,734 --> 00:59:26,333
And he and his wife,
they had just recently
purchased a home.
1270
00:59:26,367 --> 00:59:28,634
You know, he had
family here in town.
People loved him.
1271
00:59:30,533 --> 00:59:34,233
To this day, one of the
most unpleasant things
I had to do was
1272
00:59:34,266 --> 00:59:36,333
walk around that corner
and find him.
1273
00:59:38,900 --> 00:59:42,000
While Billy Brossman
may have been alone
when he died...
1274
00:59:44,867 --> 00:59:46,233
Terre Haute detectives
realized
1275
00:59:46,266 --> 00:59:48,900
it is still possible to bare
witness to his murder.
1276
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,634
The entire exchange
is captured on the store
video camera.
1277
00:59:59,634 --> 01:00:01,800
Evil exists in our world.
1278
01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:04,433
And it's on that videotape.
1279
01:00:12,367 --> 01:00:13,634
Open
1280
01:00:13,734 --> 01:00:14,900
the recording.
1281
01:00:16,066 --> 01:00:17,367
Let's see if it comes up.
1282
01:00:19,166 --> 01:00:20,333
Just watching the store.
1283
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,367
Vantage point from
behind the counter.
1284
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,000
No mask.
1285
01:00:27,266 --> 01:00:28,333
No disguise.
1286
01:00:28,734 --> 01:00:30,066
To the beer cooler.
1287
01:00:32,367 --> 01:00:35,066
Carrying a six-pack
to the counter.
1288
01:00:37,734 --> 01:00:38,900
Oh, my God.
1289
01:00:40,467 --> 01:00:41,533
Oh, my God.
1290
01:00:44,333 --> 01:00:45,333
[gun fires]
1291
01:00:45,533 --> 01:00:46,900
Oh, my God.
1292
01:00:49,266 --> 01:00:50,734
Oh, my God.
1293
01:00:53,634 --> 01:00:57,333
I would not want to think
that this is how someone
I knew lost their life.
1294
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:00,100
It's all it comes down to.
1295
01:01:00,967 --> 01:01:02,433
[sighing]
1296
01:01:04,367 --> 01:01:06,367
[Rumsey]
When you look at
the video,
1297
01:01:06,367 --> 01:01:09,172
that beer's on the counter
for less than five seconds.
1298
01:01:09,172 --> 01:01:09,233
that beer's on the counter
for less than five seconds.
1299
01:01:09,867 --> 01:01:11,900
And this man's pulling
out a gun.
1300
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,500
The clerk Billy handed
the register drawer to
this guy,
1301
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:17,867
put it right in front
of him.
1302
01:01:17,867 --> 01:01:19,233
The guy took the money.
1303
01:01:20,166 --> 01:01:24,066
But then the suspect
very calmly
1304
01:01:24,100 --> 01:01:25,533
orders him around
the counter.
1305
01:01:30,867 --> 01:01:34,333
When you see him stand
in the way of that door,
1306
01:01:34,333 --> 01:01:36,433
it leads me to only
one conclusion.
1307
01:01:38,467 --> 01:01:39,172
He didn't go there
to rob Billy.
1308
01:01:39,172 --> 01:01:40,433
He didn't go there
to rob Billy.
1309
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,100
[gun fires]
1310
01:01:47,533 --> 01:01:50,333
When you see
someone walk in,
1311
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,734
and then just...
1312
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,433
for no reason at all...
1313
01:01:55,066 --> 01:01:56,967
execute them like that,
1314
01:01:56,967 --> 01:01:59,533
it makes your stomach turn.
1315
01:01:59,533 --> 01:02:02,333
Although the surveillance
video is disturbing,
1316
01:02:02,333 --> 01:02:06,367
it reveals to detectives
what weapon the killer used
in this crime.
1317
01:02:07,166 --> 01:02:09,172
[Davis]
He used a revolver,
1318
01:02:09,172 --> 01:02:09,266
[Davis]
He used a revolver,
1319
01:02:09,266 --> 01:02:11,467
so there was no shell casings
left at the scene
1320
01:02:11,467 --> 01:02:13,533
that we could send off.
1321
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,367
They did dust the place
for prints.
1322
01:02:17,367 --> 01:02:19,867
They found no prints of
value.
1323
01:02:19,867 --> 01:02:22,734
In 2001,
DNA still wasn't huge.
1324
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,967
They did get a small
quantity of DNA,
1325
01:02:25,967 --> 01:02:29,333
but not enough to make
a profile out of.
1326
01:02:30,867 --> 01:02:33,333
But, perhaps, what sticks
with the detectives most
1327
01:02:33,333 --> 01:02:37,333
is this ostentatious way that
the killer fired his weapon.
1328
01:02:37,367 --> 01:02:38,900
[Davis]
He used a very unique...
1329
01:02:39,734 --> 01:02:41,734
style of shooting.
1330
01:02:41,734 --> 01:02:44,000
You know, he flips his hand
in the air and he twists,
1331
01:02:44,367 --> 01:02:45,800
like he's doing a...
1332
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:47,467
-a dance.
-[gun fires]
1333
01:02:47,467 --> 01:02:49,533
This guy gets a rush
1334
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:51,800
as he's killing this poor man.
1335
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,867
It's shocking.
It's a shocking video
to watch.
1336
01:02:53,867 --> 01:02:55,166
It truly is.
1337
01:03:01,367 --> 01:03:04,867
Working quickly,
investigators capitalize
on this video evidence
1338
01:03:04,867 --> 01:03:06,433
and circulate
the killer's image.
1339
01:03:07,266 --> 01:03:09,172
[Rumsey]
We put him on local
news stations.
1340
01:03:09,172 --> 01:03:09,467
[Rumsey]
We put him on local
news stations.
1341
01:03:09,467 --> 01:03:12,634
He was shown night
after night for a while.
1342
01:03:12,734 --> 01:03:15,433
The businesses
were given flyers.
1343
01:03:15,867 --> 01:03:17,266
And they went out
1344
01:03:17,266 --> 01:03:21,467
and they plastered
the stamps with photos
of this guy.
1345
01:03:21,533 --> 01:03:24,734
And that one person
called in to say,
1346
01:03:25,367 --> 01:03:26,734
they knew who this
guys was.
1347
01:03:28,266 --> 01:03:29,734
[Davis]
Terre Haute's not
that big of a city,
1348
01:03:29,734 --> 01:03:31,500
someone would've known
that man.
1349
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:34,100
Somebody would've seen
that video and knew
he was from Terre Haute.
1350
01:03:34,100 --> 01:03:35,900
This man was not
from Terre Haute.
1351
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:37,800
[Janine] Not only that,
1352
01:03:37,900 --> 01:03:39,172
but investigators
can't shake the feeling
1353
01:03:39,172 --> 01:03:40,066
but investigators
can't shake the feeling
1354
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:41,900
that this murder
is eerily similar
1355
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,333
to another deadly attack
years before.
1356
01:03:44,333 --> 01:03:46,867
The murder of Mick McCown.
1357
01:03:46,867 --> 01:03:49,333
[Davis]
When the call came out
over the radio...
1358
01:03:49,333 --> 01:03:50,600
[police radio chatter]
1359
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,066
The way they described
the Billy Brossman murder...
1360
01:03:53,867 --> 01:03:55,867
it made me relive that...
1361
01:03:55,867 --> 01:03:58,233
I-70 murder here
in Terre Haute
1362
01:03:58,233 --> 01:04:01,533
back in '92 at Sylvia's
Ceramics Shop.
1363
01:04:03,266 --> 01:04:05,900
The distance between
the stores
1364
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,634
and the proximity of
I-70.
1365
01:04:10,533 --> 01:04:13,166
I thought, "Wow that sounds
like our serial killer
1366
01:04:13,233 --> 01:04:16,533
we've been looking for
the past nine or ten years."
1367
01:04:16,533 --> 01:04:19,367
[Rumsey]
When you think about
all the similarities,
1368
01:04:19,367 --> 01:04:23,333
both of them involved
robbery in retail businesses.
1369
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:25,734
[gun fires]
1370
01:04:25,734 --> 01:04:28,367
[Rumsey]
Location of the wounds
on the persons,
1371
01:04:28,367 --> 01:04:32,800
it sure appears
that there could be
a connection
1372
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,900
between Billy Brossman
and Mick McCown.
1373
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,100
[Janine]
Regardless of its
possible connection,
1374
01:04:42,100 --> 01:04:45,000
detectives are feeling
their suspect isn't a local.
1375
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,900
So they expand their search.
1376
01:04:48,266 --> 01:04:49,967
[male news anchor]
Police in Terre Haute, Indiana
1377
01:04:49,967 --> 01:04:52,634
need your help to track
down a cold-blooded killer,
1378
01:04:52,734 --> 01:04:55,333
whose vicious crime
was caught on tape.
1379
01:04:55,367 --> 01:04:57,333
[Davis]
They put the video on
America's Most Wanted
1380
01:04:58,233 --> 01:04:59,900
and a woman called in.
1381
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,166
And she said that
she was confident
1382
01:05:04,166 --> 01:05:05,900
that her former boyfriend
1383
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,467
committed the crime
at the liquor store.
1384
01:05:09,467 --> 01:05:11,800
She just said she's known him
for a long time
1385
01:05:11,900 --> 01:05:13,800
and she was confident
it was him.
1386
01:05:15,500 --> 01:05:17,634
Two other people called in
with the same name.
1387
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,367
This suspect lived in
St. Charles, Missouri.
1388
01:05:22,367 --> 01:05:26,266
[Janine]
St. Charles is also where
Nancy Kitzmiller was killed
1389
01:05:26,266 --> 01:05:28,867
at Boot Village,
her place of work.
1390
01:05:28,867 --> 01:05:32,367
So investigators check out
this man's criminal history.
1391
01:05:32,367 --> 01:05:34,467
[Davis]
This man has had
some fraud cases.
1392
01:05:34,467 --> 01:05:36,533
He's had some
aggravated battery cases.
1393
01:05:37,066 --> 01:05:38,800
A burglary case.
1394
01:05:38,900 --> 01:05:39,172
[Janine]
Investigators soon discover
1395
01:05:39,172 --> 01:05:40,266
[Janine]
Investigators soon discover
1396
01:05:40,266 --> 01:05:42,867
this person of interest
checks out other boxes
1397
01:05:42,867 --> 01:05:45,367
on the I-70 killer's profile.
1398
01:05:45,367 --> 01:05:47,066
[Davis]
He traveled throughout
the mid-west
1399
01:05:47,100 --> 01:05:48,900
and worked in construction
1400
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,433
and does match the sketch.
1401
01:05:54,734 --> 01:05:56,333
In 2001,
1402
01:05:56,333 --> 01:06:00,266
Terre Haute detectives
went to his hometown
of St. Charles, Missouri
1403
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,100
and interviewed him.
1404
01:06:03,734 --> 01:06:06,734
He admitted to being
in Terre Haute,
1405
01:06:06,734 --> 01:06:09,066
not necessarily the time
of the murder.
1406
01:06:09,066 --> 01:06:09,172
But he had been through
here before.
1407
01:06:09,172 --> 01:06:11,166
But he had been through
here before.
1408
01:06:12,367 --> 01:06:16,233
Obviously, he denied any
involvement in the murder.
1409
01:06:16,266 --> 01:06:19,333
[Janine]
Police are unable to find
any physical evidence
1410
01:06:19,367 --> 01:06:21,066
liking him to the rime.
1411
01:06:21,867 --> 01:06:24,900
So no charges were filed
at that time.
1412
01:06:30,500 --> 01:06:32,100
[Janine]
Even with video surveillance,
1413
01:06:32,100 --> 01:06:35,600
another possible I-70
murder goes cold.
1414
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,000
It's been a decade since
the first I-70 homicide.
1415
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,172
And the original task force
has disbanded.
1416
01:06:39,172 --> 01:06:40,634
And the original task force
has disbanded.
1417
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,467
But for many of
the investigators,
1418
01:06:43,533 --> 01:06:45,634
they are too close to
this case to give up on it.
1419
01:06:46,867 --> 01:06:48,634
[McCarrick]
I mean, I'll never give up
on it.
1420
01:06:48,734 --> 01:06:50,734
And I'm not... I'm not unique.
1421
01:06:50,734 --> 01:06:52,634
There are a lot of other
guys who won't either.
1422
01:06:53,333 --> 01:06:54,500
People used to say,
1423
01:06:54,500 --> 01:06:57,066
if you're gonna do this job
for any length of time
1424
01:06:57,066 --> 01:06:58,467
and you're gonna be any
good at it,
1425
01:06:58,467 --> 01:07:01,000
you can't take these cases
personally.
1426
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,900
But if you can...
1427
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,634
work a case like this
and not take it personally,
1428
01:07:08,734 --> 01:07:09,172
I don't want you
working for me,
1429
01:07:09,172 --> 01:07:10,333
I don't want you
working for me,
1430
01:07:10,367 --> 01:07:12,266
better go find
some other kind of...
1431
01:07:12,634 --> 01:07:13,800
kind of job.
1432
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:17,533
[Janine]
Despite all their efforts,
1433
01:07:17,533 --> 01:07:19,533
law enforcement still knows
very little
1434
01:07:19,533 --> 01:07:22,100
about who or where
the killer is.
1435
01:07:23,867 --> 01:07:26,233
[Hennessy]
Did he just do
his murder spree
1436
01:07:26,266 --> 01:07:27,800
and just quit?
1437
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,867
Or moved on to another
remote part of the country
1438
01:07:30,867 --> 01:07:31,734
and still continue that?
1439
01:07:31,734 --> 01:07:33,333
We have no idea.
1440
01:07:35,100 --> 01:07:39,172
And it's the lack of answers
that is the hardest part
for the victims' families.
1441
01:07:39,172 --> 01:07:39,800
And it's the lack of answers
that is the hardest part
for the victims' families.
1442
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:45,467
When people from the
task force or the detectives
would call
1443
01:07:45,467 --> 01:07:46,734
and give updates,
1444
01:07:46,734 --> 01:07:49,266
I know they felt that
maybe this was the best
lead
1445
01:07:49,266 --> 01:07:50,500
or they were gonna get him.
1446
01:07:50,500 --> 01:07:52,634
And then when it didn't
happened, it was a...
1447
01:07:52,734 --> 01:07:54,066
It was a big letdown.
1448
01:07:54,734 --> 01:07:57,233
It is an emotional
rollercoaster.
1449
01:08:00,266 --> 01:08:03,266
[Cindy]
The investigation went on
for so long.
1450
01:08:05,100 --> 01:08:06,233
I...
1451
01:08:06,233 --> 01:08:09,172
I gave up hope that
they would ever catch him.
1452
01:08:09,172 --> 01:08:09,333
I gave up hope that
they would ever catch him.
1453
01:08:09,333 --> 01:08:11,367
It wasn't, it wasn't
quite the same
1454
01:08:11,367 --> 01:08:12,967
family get togethers.
1455
01:08:12,967 --> 01:08:15,266
All of us girls
had March birthdays,
1456
01:08:15,266 --> 01:08:18,367
so Dad always did
a big March birthday dinner
for everybody
1457
01:08:18,367 --> 01:08:20,734
and we kind of changed
the way we did that.
1458
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:22,066
You just kind of
change things
1459
01:08:22,100 --> 01:08:23,967
to make it not quite
so noticeable
1460
01:08:23,967 --> 01:08:25,367
that you're missing
somebody.
1461
01:08:26,100 --> 01:08:27,467
It's too painful.
1462
01:08:27,533 --> 01:08:29,900
It is too painful to keep
doing it the same way
you've always done it.
1463
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:35,467
[Mark] Back in the '90s,
1464
01:08:35,533 --> 01:08:39,172
after the funerals
and after the media
and all the publicity,
1465
01:08:39,172 --> 01:08:40,100
after the funerals
and after the media
and all the publicity,
1466
01:08:40,100 --> 01:08:42,000
trying to
get the word out,
1467
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,333
things started dying down
a little.
1468
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,266
That's when it really hit me.
1469
01:08:47,266 --> 01:08:49,333
That it's just me now.
1470
01:08:49,967 --> 01:08:51,333
Trish is gone.
1471
01:08:54,734 --> 01:08:56,000
I started drinking.
1472
01:08:56,367 --> 01:08:57,900
And for about...
1473
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:01,066
ten or eleven years,
I tried to drink myself
to death.
1474
01:09:07,266 --> 01:09:08,867
And every night
when I left work,
1475
01:09:08,867 --> 01:09:09,172
I'd go to the cemetery
and sat at her grave.
1476
01:09:09,172 --> 01:09:11,900
I'd go to the cemetery
and sat at her grave.
1477
01:09:14,367 --> 01:09:17,166
I was stuck with this
pain and loss.
1478
01:09:17,233 --> 01:09:18,900
And guilt
for not being there,
1479
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:20,800
not doing something
about it. Not...
1480
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,900
preventing it from happening.
1481
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,066
But by the grace of God...
1482
01:09:29,066 --> 01:09:30,367
got the help I needed.
1483
01:09:30,367 --> 01:09:34,600
And so I've dedicated
a large portion of my life
since
1484
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:38,233
trying to help other people,
uh...
1485
01:09:38,266 --> 01:09:39,172
find a way
out of that darkness.
1486
01:09:39,172 --> 01:09:40,266
find a way
out of that darkness.
1487
01:09:44,266 --> 01:09:45,533
In 2021,
1488
01:09:45,533 --> 01:09:47,800
several police who were
early in their careers
1489
01:09:47,900 --> 01:09:49,533
at the time of the homicides
1490
01:09:49,634 --> 01:09:51,900
are not veterans
in their departments
1491
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,367
with the authority
to breathe new life
1492
01:09:54,367 --> 01:09:56,634
into finding
the I-70 killer.
1493
01:09:57,867 --> 01:10:00,233
[Floyd]
In 2021, I reestablished
1494
01:10:00,266 --> 01:10:03,500
the I-70 serial killer
task force.
1495
01:10:03,500 --> 01:10:08,166
I reached out to Indianapolis,
I reached out to Terre Haute,
Raytown and Wichita.
1496
01:10:09,867 --> 01:10:11,734
[Jeff]
In November of 2021,
1497
01:10:11,734 --> 01:10:15,100
all of these agencies
reconvened in St. Charles
1498
01:10:15,100 --> 01:10:17,533
to get the task force
up and running again.
1499
01:10:17,634 --> 01:10:20,367
More than 29-plus years
have passed,
1500
01:10:20,367 --> 01:10:24,233
but the case
surrounding the I-70 killer
remains unsolved.
1501
01:10:24,266 --> 01:10:26,233
One of the keys in
solving this case
1502
01:10:26,233 --> 01:10:29,166
comes in the form
of a task force.
1503
01:10:29,166 --> 01:10:31,800
[Floyd]
We looked at the Texas cases
and the Brossman case,
1504
01:10:31,900 --> 01:10:36,500
but what we focused on
on our task force was
the six people in 1992
1505
01:10:36,500 --> 01:10:39,172
and we formulated, uh,
key pieces of evidence
1506
01:10:39,172 --> 01:10:39,600
and we formulated, uh,
key pieces of evidence
1507
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,000
that we thought would be
important, the DNA test.
1508
01:10:43,367 --> 01:10:45,734
We also set up
an online portal,
1509
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,600
where we can instantly share
information
1510
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,734
with Wichita, Indianapolis,
Terre Haute and Raytown.
1511
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,734
Now this is where
you at home come in.
1512
01:10:52,734 --> 01:10:55,333
Police are asking
for your help.
1513
01:10:55,333 --> 01:10:57,900
There's a $25,000 reward.
1514
01:11:01,100 --> 01:11:04,734
[Jeff]
Very quickly, after this was
featured on the news,
1515
01:11:04,734 --> 01:11:08,166
a tip resurfaces
from 30 years earlier.
1516
01:11:09,266 --> 01:11:11,800
And now, police are trusting
us at People Magazine
1517
01:11:11,900 --> 01:11:14,066
with an exclusive
piece of information
1518
01:11:14,066 --> 01:11:15,734
to help spread the word
1519
01:11:15,734 --> 01:11:17,734
and maybe bring justice
1520
01:11:17,734 --> 01:11:21,333
to the families of the victims
of the I-70 serial killer.
1521
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:31,900
[telephone ringing]
1522
01:11:31,900 --> 01:11:33,433
[Rhodes]
After opening the case,
1523
01:11:33,500 --> 01:11:36,333
we received a call
from an individual
1524
01:11:36,367 --> 01:11:38,000
who was from Indianapolis.
1525
01:11:38,066 --> 01:11:39,533
And in 1992,
1526
01:11:39,533 --> 01:11:42,467
he was actually working
as a foreman
of a construction site
1527
01:11:42,467 --> 01:11:45,734
that was of very close
proximity to I-70.
1528
01:11:46,900 --> 01:11:50,100
[Floyd]
He said somewhere
between 2 and 3 o'clock,
1529
01:11:50,100 --> 01:11:52,367
a vehicle pulled up into
the construction site
1530
01:11:52,367 --> 01:11:53,734
driving very erratic.
1531
01:11:54,900 --> 01:11:56,100
[Rhodes]
The driver jumped out.
1532
01:11:56,100 --> 01:11:57,283
He was all amped up,
all excited.
1533
01:11:57,283 --> 01:11:57,734
He was all amped up,
all excited.
1534
01:11:57,734 --> 01:11:59,800
And he said he was
looking for a job.
1535
01:12:00,734 --> 01:12:02,333
The foreman said,
you know,
1536
01:12:02,367 --> 01:12:05,533
"We can always use help,
but you have to come
and fill out an application
1537
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,634
at our work trailer
which is down the road."
1538
01:12:07,634 --> 01:12:10,266
And he's like,
"You can follow me down
to my work trailer
1539
01:12:10,266 --> 01:12:12,433
and I'll get you
an application there."
1540
01:12:13,467 --> 01:12:15,233
[Rhodes]
So the guy gets back
in his car
1541
01:12:15,266 --> 01:12:18,533
and he follows the foreman
to the trailer.
1542
01:12:21,533 --> 01:12:24,533
As he's following the foreman,
he was tailgating him.
1543
01:12:24,533 --> 01:12:26,634
Couple of times he thought
the car was gonna hit him.
1544
01:12:28,266 --> 01:12:31,433
He pulls into his work trailer
and he steps out of his truck.
1545
01:12:34,367 --> 01:12:37,166
[Rhodes] That's when noticed
there was a female
1546
01:12:37,166 --> 01:12:40,000
in the passenger seat
of the car.
1547
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,734
[Floyd]
She reaches into the backseat
1548
01:12:41,734 --> 01:12:43,900
and grabs the barrel of a gun.
1549
01:12:44,533 --> 01:12:46,433
And hands it over
to the guy.
1550
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,100
The foreman thought
he was getting robbed.
1551
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:55,266
He jumps back in his
truck and he takes off.
1552
01:12:55,266 --> 01:12:57,283
[Floyd] He said the guy
got back into his Cadillac
and actually pursued him.
1553
01:12:57,283 --> 01:12:58,734
[Floyd] He said the guy
got back into his Cadillac
and actually pursued him.
1554
01:13:00,100 --> 01:13:02,533
There was a wooded area
behind his trailer.
1555
01:13:02,533 --> 01:13:05,467
So he drove into
the wooded area for
several hundred yards
1556
01:13:05,467 --> 01:13:07,333
before he gave up chase.
1557
01:13:08,900 --> 01:13:11,266
[Rhodes] He called
the Indianapolis Police
Department to report it.
1558
01:13:11,266 --> 01:13:13,734
They said they would
send an officer out.
1559
01:13:13,734 --> 01:13:15,800
And he said he waited
for hours and hours
1560
01:13:15,900 --> 01:13:20,000
and no officer
ever showed up,
so he went back home.
1561
01:13:20,066 --> 01:13:21,867
[Floyd]
He said, that evening
was when he found out
1562
01:13:21,867 --> 01:13:24,000
Robin Fuldauer
had been murdered
1563
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,800
between 1:00 and 1:40
in the afternoon
1564
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:27,283
on that same day at
the Payless Shoe Store
1565
01:13:27,283 --> 01:13:30,000
on that same day at
the Payless Shoe Store
1566
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,734
just minutes from this
construction site
1567
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,467
where he had been working.
1568
01:13:34,467 --> 01:13:38,000
So he was under the assumption
that the police were probably
really busy with that
1569
01:13:38,066 --> 01:13:40,734
and that's why this call
fell through the cracks.
1570
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:42,166
[Rhodes] Years go by
1571
01:13:42,266 --> 01:13:45,100
and, you know, he sees
the news that we had reopened
the I-70 case.
1572
01:13:46,266 --> 01:13:48,634
So he contacted
Captain Floyd and I.
1573
01:13:50,533 --> 01:13:54,467
The caller goes on to
describe the man and vehicle.
1574
01:13:54,467 --> 01:13:56,900
[Floyd]
He's a white male,
5'6" to 5'9",
1575
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:57,283
probably 150 to 160 pounds.
1576
01:13:57,283 --> 01:13:59,000
probably 150 to 160 pounds.
1577
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,166
Red hair,
almost dirty blonde.
1578
01:14:01,166 --> 01:14:03,000
And it was cut short.
1579
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:06,900
He was wearing khaki pants,
black and white tennis shoes.
1580
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,734
And a light-green
army t-shirt.
1581
01:14:10,734 --> 01:14:11,900
[Rhodes]
And this description
1582
01:14:11,900 --> 01:14:16,467
matches what the witness
from Wichita described.
1583
01:14:16,467 --> 01:14:20,333
Investigators
then show the witness
various firearms.
1584
01:14:20,367 --> 01:14:22,634
[Rhodes]
We did show him
several firearms,
1585
01:14:22,734 --> 01:14:24,900
and he said the ERMA-Werke
1586
01:14:24,900 --> 01:14:27,283
definitely could have been
the gun that he saw.
1587
01:14:27,283 --> 01:14:27,800
definitely could have been
the gun that he saw.
1588
01:14:29,867 --> 01:14:32,333
This is the only lead
that I'm aware of
1589
01:14:32,367 --> 01:14:36,533
that mentions that there
may be another person
that was there.
1590
01:14:36,533 --> 01:14:38,533
Getaway driver, companion.
1591
01:14:38,533 --> 01:14:42,433
I mean, whatever
she was to him,
I'm unsure.
1592
01:14:42,500 --> 01:14:45,100
The fact that she was
handing him the ERMA-Werke,
1593
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:48,000
I do think this
is a priority lead.
1594
01:14:48,066 --> 01:14:52,000
This promising lead
also gives the task force
a very specific new detail,
1595
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:53,533
a vehicle.
1596
01:14:53,533 --> 01:14:56,100
[Rhodes]
He was driving a cream colored
1597
01:14:56,100 --> 01:14:57,283
Cadillac Eldorado Convertible,
1598
01:14:57,283 --> 01:14:58,533
Cadillac Eldorado Convertible,
1599
01:14:58,533 --> 01:15:00,166
with Florida plates.
1600
01:15:01,266 --> 01:15:04,266
We were trying to get
license plates
for any Cadillac
1601
01:15:04,266 --> 01:15:07,734
that would've been registered
in Florida in that timeframe.
1602
01:15:07,734 --> 01:15:10,467
[Rhodes]
We're investigating those
and seeing if there is
1603
01:15:10,467 --> 01:15:12,533
a connection or some kind
of correlations
1604
01:15:12,533 --> 01:15:15,000
between these cases
and the Cadillac Eldorado.
1605
01:15:16,867 --> 01:15:18,634
While the task force
makes headway
1606
01:15:18,734 --> 01:15:21,000
with old-fashioned gumshoe
detective work,
1607
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:24,333
they are simultaneously using
advancements in technology.
1608
01:15:25,533 --> 01:15:27,283
[Rhodes]
Right now we have evidence
testing available to us
1609
01:15:27,283 --> 01:15:29,533
[Rhodes]
Right now we have evidence
testing available to us
1610
01:15:29,533 --> 01:15:32,100
that never existed in 1992.
1611
01:15:32,100 --> 01:15:36,533
That they probably
never even fathomed
would have even existed.
1612
01:15:36,533 --> 01:15:38,367
[Rumsey]
At the task force meeting,
1613
01:15:38,367 --> 01:15:40,467
we methodically went through
1614
01:15:40,467 --> 01:15:43,233
each and every agency's case.
1615
01:15:43,266 --> 01:15:46,800
We decided what were
the most likely
1616
01:15:46,900 --> 01:15:49,533
items of evidence to produce
DNA results.
1617
01:15:52,166 --> 01:15:53,900
[Janine]
Amongst all the cases,
1618
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,867
there are numerous
items to be tested.
1619
01:15:55,867 --> 01:15:57,283
But the results can
be frustrating.
1620
01:15:57,283 --> 01:15:58,800
But the results can
be frustrating.
1621
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,634
[Davis] We sent the pockets
of mixed jeans
for DNA testing,
1622
01:16:03,166 --> 01:16:04,467
thought for sure
1623
01:16:04,467 --> 01:16:06,634
that if his wallet
was missing,
1624
01:16:06,734 --> 01:16:09,634
the suspect reached in
and grabbed his wallet
out of his back pocket.
1625
01:16:09,634 --> 01:16:12,266
Then his DNA
would be in there.
1626
01:16:12,266 --> 01:16:15,900
Unfortunately,
it didn't come back
with a good result.
1627
01:16:18,367 --> 01:16:20,867
But of all items
the task force is testing,
1628
01:16:20,867 --> 01:16:25,100
the shell casings
left at the scenes,
they're the most promise.
1629
01:16:25,166 --> 01:16:27,283
[Davis] We're hoping for
DNA on the shell casing
that we've sent off.
1630
01:16:27,283 --> 01:16:28,233
[Davis] We're hoping for
DNA on the shell casing
that we've sent off.
1631
01:16:29,100 --> 01:16:30,634
That's our best shot
right now.
1632
01:16:30,734 --> 01:16:32,734
When someone tells you
they have
1633
01:16:32,734 --> 01:16:36,100
mostly 50% chance of getting
DNA off of a shell casing,
1634
01:16:36,100 --> 01:16:40,533
that's exciting news
on a case
that's 30 years old.
1635
01:16:40,533 --> 01:16:42,233
You're still looking for
a needle in a haystack.
1636
01:16:42,266 --> 01:16:45,100
Still, I mean,
you're looking for something
very, very small,
1637
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:47,000
but we only need to hit
one time.
1638
01:16:48,734 --> 01:16:50,467
[Janine]
The task force has multiple
departments
1639
01:16:50,467 --> 01:16:52,433
working on multiple leads
1640
01:16:52,500 --> 01:16:54,233
that authorities
in Terre Haute
1641
01:16:54,266 --> 01:16:57,000
are revisiting another lead
from years before.
1642
01:16:58,634 --> 01:17:03,000
I was a patrol officer
in 2001
when Billy was killed.
1643
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,100
I thought there was a strong
possibility that
1644
01:17:06,100 --> 01:17:09,100
the suspect was
the I-70 killer.
1645
01:17:09,166 --> 01:17:12,533
This suspect has done
a lot of traveling,
I know that,
1646
01:17:12,533 --> 01:17:14,533
through the mid-west
and out through Texas.
1647
01:17:14,533 --> 01:17:18,100
He was a laborer,
construction worker,
paid under the table.
1648
01:17:18,166 --> 01:17:20,533
No tax information
or anything like that.
1649
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,867
He's kind of slid under
the radar for a long time.
1650
01:17:23,867 --> 01:17:27,283
I certainly think that
he looks like the composite.
1651
01:17:27,283 --> 01:17:27,734
I certainly think that
he looks like the composite.
1652
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:31,467
His face is sunken in,
looks a little petite.
1653
01:17:31,467 --> 01:17:35,100
His hair is thinning, which
matches the composite.
1654
01:17:38,467 --> 01:17:40,533
[Janine]
In order to connect
their suspect
1655
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,000
from the Brossman murder,
1656
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,100
the task force contacts
the owner of the video store
1657
01:17:45,100 --> 01:17:49,433
who witnessed the I-70 killer
the day Sarah Blessing
was killed.
1658
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:53,266
They hope, maybe,
he'll be a match there too.
1659
01:17:53,266 --> 01:17:56,533
The St. Charles, Missouri
Police Department put together
a photo array
1660
01:17:56,533 --> 01:17:57,283
and showed it
to the witness.
1661
01:17:57,283 --> 01:17:59,333
and showed it
to the witness.
1662
01:18:01,634 --> 01:18:03,000
He picked the man out.
1663
01:18:04,266 --> 01:18:06,433
[Rumsey]
I don't wanna go into
his name,
1664
01:18:06,500 --> 01:18:08,533
or where he's currently
living.
1665
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,433
But I will say he's absolutely
a solid, strong suspect.
1666
01:18:14,367 --> 01:18:16,734
[Davis]
We got a court order
from a judge
1667
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,100
to get his DNA.
1668
01:18:18,100 --> 01:18:19,800
Traveled to
where he was at
1669
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:21,266
took his DNA.
1670
01:18:21,266 --> 01:18:22,367
So we do have that.
1671
01:18:22,367 --> 01:18:24,734
And we have sent that
out for a comparison
1672
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,283
against some of the evidence
from the crime scenes.
1673
01:18:27,283 --> 01:18:27,900
against some of the evidence
from the crime scenes.
1674
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,533
We're hoping we have a big
enough sample to test.
1675
01:18:31,533 --> 01:18:34,634
And that within
two or three months,
we'll know for sure.
1676
01:18:34,734 --> 01:18:37,433
I don't have any doubt
that he's the I-70 killer,
in my mind.
1677
01:18:49,266 --> 01:18:51,333
[Janine]
In addition to exploring
DNA evidence,
1678
01:18:51,367 --> 01:18:53,867
in 2021, the task force
releases
1679
01:18:53,867 --> 01:18:56,533
a new age-enhanced
version of the police sketch.
1680
01:18:58,867 --> 01:19:00,467
[Jeff] If he's still alive,
1681
01:19:00,467 --> 01:19:04,900
the suspect today described
as 20 to 30 in 1992
1682
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,900
would now be 50 to 60.
1683
01:19:09,100 --> 01:19:12,000
[Rumsey]
I think this person
is still alive.
1684
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,387
And someone is gonna see
that composite sketch,
1685
01:19:15,387 --> 01:19:16,100
And someone is gonna see
that composite sketch,
1686
01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:18,634
the latest one,
the age-enhanced,
1687
01:19:19,367 --> 01:19:22,000
and go, "My gosh,
that's uncle Jim."
1688
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,634
Or "That's the neighbor
two doors down."
1689
01:19:24,700 --> 01:19:28,533
And suddenly you got
a red hot investigation again.
1690
01:19:31,734 --> 01:19:34,734
[Rhodes]
I'm dedicated specifically
to the I-70 case.
1691
01:19:36,734 --> 01:19:40,333
And I'm not gonna stop
working this case
until he's caught.
1692
01:19:41,634 --> 01:19:44,233
It doesn't matter if you've
come forward before,
1693
01:19:44,266 --> 01:19:45,387
or if in 30 years, they've
never come forward.
1694
01:19:45,387 --> 01:19:48,100
or if in 30 years, they've
never come forward.
1695
01:19:48,100 --> 01:19:51,634
Now would be the time.
This case
needs to be solved.
1696
01:19:58,533 --> 01:20:01,467
[Perkins]
We want the victims' families
and friends
1697
01:20:01,467 --> 01:20:03,967
to know that this case
has not been forgotten.
1698
01:20:03,967 --> 01:20:06,233
It is still being actively
looked at.
1699
01:20:06,233 --> 01:20:08,100
It is still being
actively worked.
1700
01:20:09,367 --> 01:20:10,433
[Davis]
It's just a matter of time.
1701
01:20:10,500 --> 01:20:13,000
We haven't given up
after over 30 years.
1702
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,387
And we'll never give up
until we find out
who did this.
1703
01:20:15,387 --> 01:20:17,333
And we'll never give up
until we find out
who did this.
1704
01:20:22,367 --> 01:20:24,233
I was shot in
the back of the neck.
1705
01:20:24,233 --> 01:20:27,467
You really can't see
any kind of, um...
1706
01:20:27,467 --> 01:20:29,467
entrance wound
or anything else.
1707
01:20:29,467 --> 01:20:31,100
A very tiny bullet.
1708
01:20:31,900 --> 01:20:34,634
I never had surgery.
Um...
1709
01:20:34,634 --> 01:20:38,100
I have no intention of
ever having surgery.
1710
01:20:38,100 --> 01:20:41,233
Um, when I die,
they'll be able to
take the bullet out.
1711
01:20:41,266 --> 01:20:44,734
It causes me issues
all the time.
1712
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:45,387
But I've lived
with a bullet in my neck
1713
01:20:45,387 --> 01:20:47,533
But I've lived
with a bullet in my neck
1714
01:20:47,533 --> 01:20:50,734
for almost as long as
I lived without it.
1715
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,634
Uh, so it's my new normal.
1716
01:20:54,533 --> 01:20:57,800
Never again
will I be vulnerable. Um...
1717
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,800
So he took months out
of my life.
He can't have anymore.
1718
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,266
[Mark]
I appreciate the communities
1719
01:21:08,266 --> 01:21:12,467
and agencies enable these
people to do this...
1720
01:21:12,467 --> 01:21:14,734
uh... aggressive look.
1721
01:21:14,734 --> 01:21:15,387
But I learned
a long time ago,
1722
01:21:15,387 --> 01:21:17,533
But I learned
a long time ago,
1723
01:21:17,533 --> 01:21:21,533
not to get my hopes up,
not to have expectations.
1724
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,433
Because expectations are
premeditated resentments.
1725
01:21:27,734 --> 01:21:31,467
Even decades later,
these experiences
haunt the witnesses
1726
01:21:31,467 --> 01:21:33,533
to these senseless crimes.
1727
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,533
[Lucretia]
I really wish I could've
been more helpful.
1728
01:21:39,100 --> 01:21:40,467
It's been a long time,
1729
01:21:40,467 --> 01:21:43,000
but still emotionally
traumatizing to me also,
you know.
1730
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:45,387
To have to relive that.
1731
01:21:45,387 --> 01:21:45,634
To have to relive that.
1732
01:21:50,867 --> 01:21:52,634
[Tim]
I saw her feet sticking out.
1733
01:21:58,367 --> 01:21:59,900
I didn't go any further.
1734
01:22:01,734 --> 01:22:02,800
I'm sorry.
1735
01:22:03,867 --> 01:22:05,333
Still bothers me.
1736
01:22:06,467 --> 01:22:08,100
I mean, I...
1737
01:22:09,533 --> 01:22:11,533
feel like I didn't act
fast enough.
1738
01:22:13,734 --> 01:22:15,387
If I'd have not waited
so long.
1739
01:22:15,387 --> 01:22:15,900
If I'd have not waited
so long.
1740
01:22:16,734 --> 01:22:18,266
Think they might have
caught him.
1741
01:22:25,634 --> 01:22:28,100
[Shelli]
Sarah had just the gift
of life.
1742
01:22:28,100 --> 01:22:30,333
She still had a lot
to teach people.
1743
01:22:30,367 --> 01:22:34,734
And she had a lot to
share with people.
1744
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:38,800
She wasn't just a vic.
1745
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,634
She mattered to people.
1746
01:22:44,533 --> 01:22:45,387
[Mark]
To this day, there are days
that are hard.
1747
01:22:45,387 --> 01:22:46,800
[Mark]
To this day, there are days
that are hard.
1748
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,967
There are days
that I wanna give up.
1749
01:22:48,967 --> 01:22:52,100
And say, "Why me?"
"Why Trish?"
1750
01:22:52,166 --> 01:22:55,100
And those questions will
forever be unanswered.
1751
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,533
[Cindy]
Mick was a wonderful
musician.
1752
01:22:59,533 --> 01:23:03,100
We're lucky really because
we have tapes of his voice.
1753
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:05,900
And you can look at pictures
and that's wonderful.
1754
01:23:06,867 --> 01:23:08,533
But when you lose
somebody,
1755
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,433
after a while,
you lose their voice.
1756
01:23:11,500 --> 01:23:12,634
But we have Mick's voice.
1757
01:23:12,634 --> 01:23:15,387
[Mick singing]
♪ Love can save you
Time will tell ♪
1758
01:23:15,387 --> 01:23:15,634
[Mick singing]
♪ Love can save you
Time will tell ♪
1759
01:23:15,700 --> 01:23:19,900
♪ So let me dry the tears
That you've been crying ♪
1760
01:23:21,266 --> 01:23:23,266
[chorus singing]
♪ Been cryin' ♪
1761
01:23:24,266 --> 01:23:28,433
♪ Woman, you need a lover
like me ♪
1762
01:23:31,900 --> 01:23:35,233
I just encourage everybody
out there to,
1763
01:23:35,233 --> 01:23:39,233
you know, just stop for
60 seconds and think about it.
1764
01:23:39,233 --> 01:23:41,233
Don't just turn the channel.
1765
01:23:41,233 --> 01:23:42,734
You know, think about
that for a minute.
1766
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,387
Think about the impact
this had on...
1767
01:23:45,387 --> 01:23:45,734
Think about the impact
this had on...
1768
01:23:45,734 --> 01:23:49,433
The ripple effect through
the people that these
individuals knew
1769
01:23:50,266 --> 01:23:52,734
and, uh, and step forward.
