DARIN: Firefighters who responded to a house fire,
they discovered four members of the Harvey Family
in the basement.
Family was bound,
tape wrapped around their heads
and then murdered in their home.
JON: Who could do this to a beautiful family of four?
LISA: We were pretty baffled.
Can't even throw out theories
because there weren't any.
[sinister music playing]
Five days after the murder of the Harveys,
there was another family murdered
in their residence.
These people didn't bother anybody.
CONRAD: A lot of people in Richmond were wondering why?
What is going on?
Do we have a serial killer on our hands?
LISA: On January 1st, 2006,
we received a 911 call
stating that we had to respond at West 31st Street.
There was a house engulfed in flames.
[sirens wailing]
LISA: After the fire department put the fire out,
I arrive to the scene
and there were a couple of firemen
and one of them was sitting
on the front bumper of the fire truck
and he was crying.
And I knew this is not gonna be good.
They found four people dead in the house.
The fire department brought two victims
out of the basement.
A little child
and an adult female.
And when they laid them down, they noticed
that they were gagged and tied up.
They're not gonna bring anybody else out of the basement
because we had a crime scene.
So, we called for medical examiner's office.
DARIN: Approximately 4:00 PM,
I was called to a house fire.
When I arrive to the home,
I began to examine the two bodies.
I saw that both victims of the fire
had their ankles bound together with tape
and one of the first things that I noticed
were the sharp force injuries to both necks,
meaning cutting and/or stabbing injuries.
LISA: The adult female had duct tape around her hands.
She had a sock in her mouth
and tape over her mouth.
That little girl beside her
was I would have said three or four.
She had head trauma same as the adult female.
I saw evil.
DARIN: I found that both also had open skull fractures,
uh, and the skull fractures were, um, depressed
and rather roundish.
That fracture pattern is consistent
with something very dense and small.
Like a hammer or a mallet.
Once the, uh, firefighters had determined that
the house was structurally safe,
we entered the home,
but the electric to the house was cut.
So, we were using flashlights.
Then we proceeded downstairs into the basement.
There were puzzles and the children's toys.
There was a red puppet theater there.
LISA: I noticed what appeared to be a white male
laying on the floor, hog tied
where his arms and his legs were tied together
with an extension cord.
One of our forensics people pointed out
that under a futon in the corner was a little girl.
She was cut, and she had some marks
toward her upper body in her head.
DARIN: She also had tape wrapped around her head
and her wrists were bound
with tape behind her back.
She also had sharp force injuries to her neck
and open skull fractures.
We also noticed on the floor two hammers
that were sitting there side by side.
And so immediately, they drew our attention
as potential weapons that caused the injuries.
LISA: After we go into the basement,
I went upstairs.
The front door was not pried open.
The back door, it wasn't quite open.
So, there's no forced entry into the house.
In the living room, there was a cup of coffee,
and it was half drank.
And on the floor was part of a puzzle put together.
It wasn't finished.
Then you go in the kitchen, the stove was actually still on
so the fire department cut that off.
And there were vegetables cut up.
And then I saw something out of place.
On the kitchen counter bar,
there's a round ring that's clean.
So there was something around there,
but we didn't know what it was
because everything else was covered in soot
and that was just clean.
So, we knew something was taken.
Upstairs, things had been gone through
in the master bedroom,
but not, like, thrown about.
There was a couple of dollars on a nightstand
that was still there.
There was nothing that you could tell right away
that was missing.
At that point, we are, you know,
we're really like scratching our heads.
[sinister music playing]
LEARNED: We realized that we had a real problem.
The fire department had hosed down the entire basement
where the bodies were found
and so we had no forensic evidence,
except for the ball-peen hammers.
The law enforcement evidence technicians
then appropriated them
and packaged them up.
LISA: Another detective came up to me
and he said, "Is it a murder-suicide?"
And I said, "No way."
First of all, I don't think one person did it.
There had to be at least two, if not more,
to tie up the man.
He wasn't a small guy.
He was in shape.
Also, to keep all people together at one time
and bring them down into a basement,
I would believe that it would take
at least two people with weapons.
When I came back at it, there was a older white man
and his wife standing to the side across the street.
They were upset,
and I went and found out that
they were Pam and Mark Harvey.
And Mark told me that that was his brother,
Bryan and his wife Kathryn living inside the house,
and Ruby and Stella were their children.
DARIN: The two bodies outside
were the bodies of, uh, Kathryn and Ruby Harvey.
In the basement, that's where the father
Bryan Harvey and his daughter Stella were found.
All of the members of the family
dying by homicidal violence.
I can't think of a, uh-- of a more horrible thing.
What kind of evil person could do this?
LISA: So once we identify the bodies,
we realized that the Harveys didn't have jewelry on.
So, we talked to their friends about what items they had.
They explained Kathryn wore a wedding ring and a necklace.
And the friend said that
it was a really unusual wedding ring
that Bryan had had it created just for her.
And I couldn't find the wedding ring
or the necklace in the house.
So, we knew those two items were taken.
Then, this lady came up,
said her name's Kirsten Perkinson,
and she said that she had been to the house
and I said, "When were you at the house?"
She said, "A couple of hours before that fire."
She said Kathryn was being very suspicious.
She said, around 10:00 in the morning,
she had brought Stella home.
She was at a sleep over at a friend's house
for New Year's Eve.
Stella ran into the basement
because that's where all the kids play.
And all of a sudden, Kathryn was standing there,
very white faced,
very nervous, like jittery.
And Kirsten's daughter, Gracielin,
tried to run past Kathryn
to go down to the basement with Stella.
Kathryn grabbed Gracie
and pushed her back out of the basement
and told, Kirsten,
"Look, you know, I just don't feel good.
Come back later.
You all need to go."
Kirsten left with Gracielin
and never saw him again.
What was Kathryn hiding in the basement?
One of Bryan's friends, Johnny Hott,
he called 911.
LISA: He said that he actually tried to go
and save them.
I pulled him aside and I said,
"Look, what else are you not telling me?"
LEARNED: The mistake that Johnny made
is every time he would come in, he tells a different story.
It was probably about a week later,
after the Harvey murders, we had another homicide.
LEARNED: Three people
who have been duct taped to death.
So now we've got two torture scenes
five days apart.
on January 1st, 2006, [sinister music playing]00 PM
firefighters who responded to a house fire,
they discovered four members of the Harvey family
in the basement.
They were murdered in their home.
This is the first time
that I had, uh, ever experienced
four members of a family who had been killed
by homicidal violence.
It was just horrible.
JON: Almost immediately,
the murders became a huge story.
Who could do this to a beautiful family of four
in the south side of Richmond?
The Harveys lived in a nice urban enclave.
JON: Everybody knew everybody.
People didn't lock their doors.
It's that kind of community. They were really tight.
A brutal, bloody, coldblooded killing
was unheard of in this neighborhood.
In Richmond, families don't get killed.
[sinister music playing]
ARMISTEAD: Bryan and Kathy Harvey, as a couple--
and nobody is ever perfect,
but they were pretty perfect.
When I first met Bryan in 1980,
he was warm,
friendly, and interesting.
Seemed like I'd always known him.
Bryan had his great band, House of Freaks.
And, uh, I admired his, uh, musicianship.
Bryan met Kathy when she worked at a cafe
and, uh, she went for Bryan.
So, he endured her.
He wanted to settle down and have a family.
Their first child was Stella.
Few years later, they gave birth to Ruby.
Bryan and Kathy and Stella and Ruby,
they were just this group of, um...
strong, creative people.
So, when they were murdered, it was just this bad dream
that didn't make sense.
[sinister music playing]
JON: As they started interrogating neighbors
in trying to figure out what happened,
they found out one of Bryan's friends,
Johnny Hott, called 911.
He was Bryan's best friend.
LISA: I talked to him and he said that
he and his daughter were coming over early
just to hang out,
and help out with the chili cook-off
that they do every New Year's Day.
He said that he actually went inside
and saw a smoke.
He tried to go and save them,
he's, like, "Went in the kitchen,
I couldn't find them.
I went upstairs, I couldn't find them.
I opened the basement door
and the smoke overtook me."
So I said, "If you went through this house,
tell me what was going on in the kitchen."
Because the stove was on.
He's like "Nothing was on."
I'm like "Were they cooking? Were they doing--"
"No, no, there was nothing going on in the kitchen."
A normal human being,
if they walked in a kitchen and saw a fire
that would--you would remember that.
You get this feeling in your stomach
that something is not right,
that the person is lying to you.
I pulled him aside and I said, "Look, you're lying,
you didn't go in the house,
what else are you not telling me?"
Because he definitely would have noticed that
there was a flame coming from the gas stove.
He's like "I did go in the house, you're wrong."
So he kept lying.
Also no forced entry made you think
that they let the killer in
so they knew the person.
At that point, Johnny was the person of interest.
DARIN: The day after this family was discovered,
we began the autopsies.
We determined that the sharp force injuries
on Bryan and Kathryn and Stella Harvey
were not immediately lethal.
All of the family members had blunt force injuries
to the head.
Stella Harvey also had
a lethal carbon monoxide intoxication.
Ruby Harvey had a lethal stab wound to her torso.
The family was bound.
The father and one of the daughters
had tape wrapped around their heads.
These are things that were very disturbing.
Never in my career had I ever faced
anything like this.
LEARNED: Any killing is bad,
but that's evil, that's torture.
JON: What kind of a coldblooded killer would do this
to a four-year-old, a nine-year-old,
and their parents?
It just didn't--it didn't make sense.
[suspenseful music playing]
JON: Johnny Hott is prime suspect number one
and he went through days of interrogation.
Johnny Hott was on the hot seat.
I mean, he was answering a lot of questions
and his name was in the news an awful lot.
This guy was best friends with Bryan.
JOHNNY: We had that really intense eight years
of traveling in a van together
and staying in hotel rooms together.
So nobody could understand
why would he be best friends with Bryan
and then do this to the family?
LEARNED: The mistake that Johnny made
is every time he would come in, he tells a different story.
You know, like where he was and what he was doing.
Or, no, no, no, no, I was here,
no, no, wait a minute, I was there.
It just got more confusing.
LISA: We finally got him to do a polygraph.
He failed it about going into the house.
So he didn't go in the house.
So I think he came up to the house,
all the smoke coming out and called 911,
which was great.
But we think he wanted people to believe
that he was a hero.
But he passed the part
about not murdering the Harveys.
So we were sure he did not kill them.
But if he would have just been truthful from the get-go,
it would have saved us a lot of aggravation,
a lot of time, and a lot of energy
that we could have tried to put on someone else.
So, I mean, we were pretty baffled.
There was really nowhere to go.
And really we're in a standstill.
This sets everybody in the city frantic.
We needed to get the bad guys off the street.
LISA: Three days into this investigation,
the only lead we've really had was Johnny Hott,
but we were sure he did not do this.
And I'm like, now what?
Really we're in a standstill.
JON: After Johnny Hott was ruled out,
their investigation went cold.
Who could do this to a beautiful family of four
in the south side of Richmond?
LEARNED: Everybody thinks you got DNA fingerprint,
they don't get stuff like that
when they hose the basement down.
They tried to set the bodies on fire for God's sakes.
So we don't have anything.
We know how they died but we don't have much.
LISA: There were no leads coming in,
you couldn't find anybody that hated the family,
or that had an issue with the family.
We were pretty baffled.
There was really nowhere to go.
Can't even throw out theories
because there weren't any.
We were concerned,
I know the public was scared
but it was a dead end.
[sinister music playing]
It was probably about a week later
after the Harvey murders
when our supervisor told me
to get the secondary team together
because he got some information
from a female named Latoya Paulie.
There was concern
that her friend Ashley Baskerville
might be dead inside the house over in Chesterfield.
We asked her how did she know this.
She said she had talked to her friend on the phone.
So she was worried
that something's wrong with her.
[sinister music playing]
JOHN: So we all got in our cars.
We all drove over to an address on Broad Rock Road.
Went up to the residence where she seem to think
that her friend might be dead on the inside.
We knocked on the door several times.
Got no answer.
We breached the door.
We went in.
The first thing I could see
was some feet sticking out beside
what looked like-- appeared to be a coffee table.
So I went around to see what--
you know, who that was.
And it was a male party that was laying there.
What I saw was he had been bound
with what appeared to be--
looked like cords, duct tape.
He had some cellophane wrapping around his face.
And it looked like tubes socks
that had been shoved down his throat
to where he actually looked like he might have died
from asphyxiation, suffocation.
When I went to the bedroom
that was connected to the living room,
I saw a female on the bed
with plastic wrapped around her face
and hands tied behind her back.
There was a rear bedroom
where another female we discovered deceased.
JOHN: The other female was wrapped up
just like the victim laying in the living room floor,
except for it looked like a plastic grocery store bag
might have been wrapped around her head as well.
CONRAD: LaToya provided names of her family
and what they look like.
When she first called in,
the dad, Percyell Tucker, was in the living room.
The mom was Mary Baskerville-Tucker,
was in the rear bedroom.
And their daughter, Ashley Baskerville,
was on the bed.
I ain't ever seen anybody killed and tortured.
I mean, that's just complete torture of a person
by bounding them like that, shoving two socks
and different things down their throat
to where they can't breathe,
and then wrapping their face with saran wrap
and plastic bags and duct tape and cords.
I mean, nobody should have to die a death that way.
I'm like, "Who in the world could do something
to somebody this horrific and, you know,
actually feel somebody in this way
other than somebody who's mentally deranged?"
But as a trained investigator,
you know, when you get to a scene like that,
you can't let your personal feelings
and everything get in the way.
You got a job to do,
and you're training kicks in.
We decided instead of contaminating
the crime scene, we backed out,
posted officers on the front
and the rear entrance of the residence,
and proceeded to call forensics
to come out to collect the evidence.
LEARNED: You see three people
who had been duct taped to death, all right?
Duct taped.
When you put it around somebody's face
starting at the top of their head
and working your way down, there comes a point
where you can't get any air through the duct tape.
Their hands are bound. They can't move.
They can't struggle. Then they suffocate.
That's a horrible way to die.
CONRAD: First, we had the Harveys family.
A horrific homicide that occurred at that residence.
And now we're here at the Baskerville-Tucker
residence with another brutal homicide.
LEARNED: So now we've got two torture scenes,
five days apart.
Completely different neighborhoods.
They didn't know each other,
no connection, no nothing.
Two total sets of strangers killed badly.
What are we dealing with?
CONRAD: Richmond was really, you know, like wondering,
"Wow. What is going on?
Do we have a serial killer on our hands?"
RANDOLPH: Five days after the murder of the Harveys,
the Richmond officers responded
to the Baskerville-Tucker residence.
They found Percyell Tucker,
Mary Baskerville-Tucker,
and Ashley Baskerville dead in the house.
So two families being murdered in their house
just days from each other.
JON: All of them suffered similar injuries.
They were all bound, gagged.
What the hell is happening here?
[radio chatter]
LISA: At the crime scene, we looked to see
if, by some chance, it could be connected
to the Harvey case.
Yes, they're tied up same as the Harveys
but they're tied up with a lamp cord,
so that's easy opportunity.
They were not hit with any objects.
There was nothing out of place.
Didn't set the house on fire.
DARIN: So it was our job, at that point,
to try to collect as much evidence
as we could from the deceased as possible
to look for a connection between the two.
LISA: And we needed to find out more
about the Tucker-Baskerville family.
[suspenseful music playing]
Percyell and Mary were hardworking middle-class folks.
Mary worked for a church.
Percyell, he was a forklift operator.
Loved his job. Loved his wife.
Loved his family. Very similar to the Harveys.
Everybody knew them as just very nice,
church-going people.
RANDOLPH: Ashley Baskerville was the daughter
of Mary Tucker and the stepdaughter
of Percyell Tucker.
JON: Where Percyell and Mary live,
Broad Rock Boulevard, is a known place
for drug activity.
Homicides happen over there.
I think the shock factor was
who they found dead
and folks were like, "These people
didn't bother anybody.
Who would want to kill them and why?"
JOHN: I went to LaToya Paulie's
to interview her and get more information
of how she came about knowing that her friend
might have been dead inside the house.
CONRAD: LaToya, she had dialed 911
and she told the police,
"Something has happened to Ashley."
RANDOLPH: We learned that the victim,
Ashley, and LaToya had met
after they got out of detention.
They just seemed to run into each other
and decided to strike up a friendship.
CONRAD: Also, LaToya provided the names
of two individuals
Ricky Gray and Ray Dandridge.
Ashley was friends with Ricky Gray.
LISA: Ashley, she had been in prison.
And LaToya told us
that's how she and Ricky had met.
They had been prison pen pals.
And Ray Dandridge's uncle
was Ricky Gray.
After prison, Ricky and Ray came to Richmond.
LaToya told us that on January 6th, 2006,
LaToya, Ashley, Ricky,
and Ray were sitting around,
and Ashley said, "We need money."
And she said, "My stepfather
has money in his house."
Ashley didn't get along with her stepdad
because he had rules that she didn't follow.
CONRAD: Ashley agreed for them to tie her up
to make it seem like they were kidnapping her
and wanting some type of ransom for her.
LISA: Ricky and Ray agreed to do it.
LaToya told us that she didn't want anything
to do with them.
So the three of them get in the car.
They drive from Chesterfield
to her mom and stepdad's house.
A couple hours later, Ricky and Ray
came back to LaToya's house.
She asked Ray
where was Ashley and Ray said,
"Ashley gone bye-bye."
CONRAD: That raised concern to LaToya
that something has happened to her friend.
So that's when she contact the police.
JOHN: LaToya, I think, was more fearful
that they were gonna come
and kill her next.
LaToya gave us three phone numbers for Ray Dandridge,
and with Chesterfield PD's assistance,
had her place a call to Ray Dandridge
on his cellphone.
We started to record while she was talking to him.
She asked him
about what happened to Ashley,
and he basically was saying,
"Well, we don't have to worry about Ashley anymore."
Okay. So they killed Ashley,
because she wanted more of the proceeds
from the robberies
or she was gonna go to the police.
LaToya got him to tell us
that he had taken Mr. Tucker's Chevy Blazer
and they're headed back to Pennsylvania.
I got the phone numbers
that LaToya had given us,
the two landlines. I started researching them.
So I came up with an address in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I called Philadelphia Police Department.
They put me in touch with a detective,
Howie Peterman.
I told him that we're investigating
a triple homicide
and we were looking for a stolen vehicle
that was taken during the homicide.
He was like, "Okay. I'll get my partner.
We'll go out. We'll look for it."
[siren blaring]
JOHN: Fifteen, twenty minutes later,
my cellphone rings. It's Howie Peterman saying,
yeah, they got Mr. Tucker's truck, the Chevy Blazer,
sitting in the driveway.
The lights are on in the residence
and there's movement inside the residence.
LISA: And because the Philadelphia Police Department
know that three people were killed,
they called the SWAT team.
SWAT team enters the house.
Ray Dandridge tried to run past the police.
DARIN: What we learned from the autopsies
in the Tucker-Baskerville family
was eerily similar to the Harvey family.
One had to wonder if there was any connection
between the two.
NRAD: Richmond Police found that Baskerville-Tucker family
murder suspects, Ricky Gray and Ray Dandridge,
were staying at a relative's house in Philadelphia.
LISA: Homicide detectives went to the home
of Ray Dandridge's dad
and Tucker's vehicle is parked right out front.
The Philadelphia Police Department
keep an eye on the house.
And because they know that three people were killed,
they call the SWAT team.
In the morning of January 7, 2006,
SWAT team enters the house.
Ray Dandridge was eating breakfast at the kitchen table.
And he had heard the police enter the house,
so he tried to run past the police.
They were both arrested,
put in handcuffs, and brought down
to the Philadelphia Police Department.
JOHN: I went in and told the supervisors,
and everybody went crazy, screaming and hollering,
and celebrating, and I was like, "Okay."
I felt relieved for the fact
that Ricky Gray and Ray Dandridge,
they were apprehended.
We're thankful that LaToya came forward.
By doing the right thing, it happened quick.
LEARNED: They bring him in,
and Dandridge, they went after him first
with the interview.
JOHN: Howard Peterman, he called me on my cell.
He's like, "Mr. Ray Dandridge
is wanting to sing like a bird."
And I was like, "Well, advise him of Miranda
and talk to him. See what he's got to say."
He called me back
and he told me, he was like,
"You're not gonna believe this,"
he's like, "But he's confessed
to the triple homicide involving
Ms. Ashley Baskerville and the Tuckers."
LISA: He said that they had planned to tie up Ashley
to get money from her stepdad.
Ray said that he and Ricky
had already talked
and Ricky was going to kill Ashley.
And the reason behind that
was because she wanted too much money.
Ray Dandridge told us that he and Ashley and Ricky,
the three of them were going to Ashley's house.
When they got there,
they tie up Mr. And Mrs. Tucker
after they tell them where the money is.
So they robbed them and then they put a bag
over Mr. Tucker's head and duct tape it.
And Ray told us
Ashley's right there for all of this.
Ricky turns around and says,
"You want too much money. You're dead."
So he drags her in the hallway
to the mother's bedroom.
Mom was tied up.
Ray said that Ricky told Ashley
to tell your mom goodbye one last time.
Ashley said, "I'm so sorry, Mom. I love you."
And all the mother said was, "Ashley, why?"
And they put the bags over their head,
duct tape them, and they were they were dead.
They went back to LaToya's house
and that's when LaToya asked,
"Ray, where was Ashley?"
And he said, "Ashley went bye-bye."
So, at that time,
Ricky Gray and Dandridge
were charged with three counts of murder.
JOHN: Now, that they were in custody,
everybody was wondering
if they might be responsible
for the Harvey family case.
But we didn't have the physical evidence.
DARIN: What we learned from the autopsies
was that all members of the Tucker-Baskerville family
died of suffocation.
Both Percyell and Mary Tucker had suffered
sharp force injuries to their neck.
And Percyell also received a stab wound to his abdomen.
But we determined that those were not immediately lethal.
Having just seen a family of four
with the Harvey family
having been the victims of homicidal violence,
now seeing a family of three
in almost the same situation,
being gagged, being bound with tape,
the description of the scene
and of the decedents
was eerily similar
to the Harvey family,
one had to wonder
if there was any connection between the two.
LISA: One of the forensics people called and said,
"Hey, you need to come down the medical examiner's office."
So we go down there,
and they were getting ready
to turn the jewelry from Mr. Tucker
and Ms. Baskerville-Tucker to the family.
And on Ashley's ring finger
was Kathryn's ring.
Kathryn's ring was very distinct.
Bryan had it made for her.
Hellfire went through me,
because, "How dare you have
her ring on your finger?"
So, at that point, there's now evidence
connecting the Harvey family
and the Baskerville-Tucker family.
That kind of brought everything full circle.
JOHN: So, now, with the ring evidence,
I called Howie Peterman in Philadelphia
to ask Ray Dandridge if he knows anything
about this quadruple homicide involving the Harveys.
He called me back and said Ray Dandridge,
he wanted a deal for a lesser sentence
and confess to the Harvey family
involving the two kids and the mother and the father.
LEARNED: We now have a confession from Dandridge.
So we got him.
But we still got Gray.
Gray is not talking.
LISA: Once he found out that Ray Dandridge
had spilled the beans on everything,
Ricky Gray then told us
what he did at the Harvey murders.
LEARNED: He explains what happened.
And this was a horrendous killing
by anyone's standards. Just horrible.
LEARNED: In Ricky Gray's confession
to the Philadelphia detective,
he said they needed some money.
They just were gonna break into somebody's house
and do a robbery. He, Dandridge, and Ashley.
JON: Ashley, for the Harvey family,
was basically the getaway driver.
She had pretty much driven them to that Southside community
and dropped them and let them walk
and figure out where they were gonna target.
LISA: Ricky said that they saw the door open
to the Harvey house, and they walk right
in the Harvey house.
They put Bryan on the ground.
And then Ruby who was playing with the puzzle.
They take them back to the kitchen.
At that point, they grabbed the knife
that Kathryn was using to cut the vegetables.
Told them if they behave, they were gonna rob them
and then they would leave them alone.
When they got down to the basement,
they tied Bryan up,
they tied Kathryn up,
and they tied Ruby up.
At that point, Ricky Gray tells Ray Dandridge,
"Go upstairs and see what you can find
that we can steal." He goes up in the bedroom.
He looks out the window and he sees a lady
and two kids walking up to the house.
So he runs to the basement and said,
"There are two kids and a lady coming."
Ricky Gray undoes Kathryn's gag
and tells her if she says anything
or gets away anything, he'll kill her husband
and their daughter in the basement.
LEARNED: It was the most painful thing
any mother could have possibly ever gone through.
She can save one child and herself
but then she leaves the two other two
down in the basement with the bad guys.
And, at this point, they were cooperating.
No one was being rough.
They thought, "Okay, maybe we can get through this."
The mom goes down hoping and praying that,
"Okay. We haven't caused any trouble. You let us go."
At that point, they decide they don't have on masks
and they make the decision, "Now, we gotta kill them
because they see us."
Then they cut their throats.
But that doesn't kill people if you don't do it correctly.
So they finally took out the ball-peen hammer
and beat them all in the--in the head.
And then they light the place on fire,
make their getaway.
So within six hours, we went from nothing
to we got them.
LISA: And we find out on New Year's Day,
Ricky and Ray
bring a big round basket of cookies
and give them to LaToya's mom.
Well, that ends up being the basket
that made the round ring in the kitchen
at the Harvey house.
I mean, to take a basket of cookies
from a family who you just tortured and murdered
and then give them to another person,
that's a hard concept to get.
So Ricky went to trial in August of 2006.
He was charged with killing the Harvey family,
and Percyell Tucker, and Ashley's mom,
Mrs. Baskerville Tucker.
It wasn't long that they came back with a verdict.
Ricky Gray was found guilty.
LEARNED: He got the death penalty for killing
two families.
LISA: Ray Dandridge went to court
in September of 2006.
Dandridge was charged with the murders
of Ashley, Kathryn, and Stella.
LEARNED: Ray Dandridge reached a guilty plea
about a day into his trial.
LISA: So he agreed to three life sentences.
LEARNED: I cannot tell you, after that trial,
how many people said,
"I'm opposed to the death penalty
but it was okay for that case."
You don't kill families,
and that's what those two guys did.
ARMISTEAD: When I heard the verdict,
I just started crying like a baby. Just wailing.
It was over, but I just wanted my friends back, you know?
We missed them so bad
that we just keep them with us.
LEARNED: Ryan Harvey, Kathy Harvey,
Ruby, and Stella,
both Mr. and Mrs. Tucker,
these two families were wonderful people
and the salt of the Earth.
LISA: Mr. Tucker didn't deserve that,
neither did his wife.
They had a nice life.
They worked hard for what they had.
And all that was taken away because their daughter
wanted money.
It just doesn't make sense.
And the Harveys didn't deserve it.
They are six innocent people.
