00:09:39,125 --> 00:09:41,041
So I do what I normally do -

179
00:09:41,125 --> 00:09:43,166
I knock on the door,
because they would let me in.

180
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:44,625
No answer.

181
00:09:44,708 --> 00:09:48,583
Like, "Damn, I just
saw y'all over here!"

182
00:09:48,666 --> 00:09:52,125
As I go towards
the back of the building,

183
00:09:52,208 --> 00:09:54,000
I see the back door
laying wide open.

184
00:09:54,083 --> 00:09:55,291
So I stop.

185
00:09:55,375 --> 00:09:57,625
I say, "They might be
trying to scare me,

186
00:09:57,708 --> 00:09:59,000
"hiding behind the door."

187
00:09:59,083 --> 00:10:00,958
So I'm hollering
in the building.

188
00:10:01,041 --> 00:10:03,666
"Mark, Mark, Mark! Jayne!"

189
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:05,000
Nothing.

190
00:10:05,083 --> 00:10:06,833
Quiet as a mouse in there.

191
00:10:06,916 --> 00:10:09,791
I'm like,
"Shit, I'm not going in there."

192
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:12,833
So I just turn around
and walk home.

193
00:10:18,083 --> 00:10:19,875
The cops get here
about half an hour after

194
00:10:19,958 --> 00:10:21,583
someone comes and
notices we're gone.

195
00:10:21,666 --> 00:10:23,125
The safe is open.

196
00:10:23,208 --> 00:10:26,791
$500 in notes are missing
but not the coins.

197
00:10:26,875 --> 00:10:28,666
Our jackets are gone
from the coat rack

198
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:31,833
but my purse and Ruth's purse
are still here.

199
00:10:31,916 --> 00:10:35,250
The cash drawers are on the
floor and the back door is open.

200
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:36,625
A crime scene, right?

201
00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:38,083
Not so fast.

202
00:10:39,666 --> 00:10:40,916
TODD: The Speedway
Police Department

203
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,208
immediately dismissed this as

204
00:10:43,291 --> 00:10:45,083
"Ah, they're just
being teenagers.

205
00:10:45,166 --> 00:10:46,958
"They probably went out
to that under-21 club,

206
00:10:47,041 --> 00:10:48,541
"having a good time.

207
00:10:48,625 --> 00:10:51,333
"They'll be back. Why don't you
go and shut the doors, lock up?

208
00:10:51,416 --> 00:10:54,250
"And you can open
for business tomorrow."

209
00:10:57,583 --> 00:10:58,833
A couple days later,

210
00:10:58,916 --> 00:11:01,333
after they find our bodies
in the woods,

211
00:11:01,416 --> 00:11:05,000
the police come back and
re-stage the crime scene.

212
00:11:05,083 --> 00:11:07,458
They take photos
and say they were taken

213
00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:10,125
on the night we disappeared.

214
00:11:10,208 --> 00:11:12,500
MAN: I don't know if I'd
characterise it as re-staging.

215
00:11:12,583 --> 00:11:15,708
I know that there was an attempt
to pass off photographs

216
00:11:15,791 --> 00:11:18,000
as if they were actual
crime-scene photos.

217
00:11:20,166 --> 00:11:22,916
I worked the Burger
Chef case for the...

218
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,208
..better part
of 21 years -

219
00:11:26,291 --> 00:11:30,833
continuously from 1981
through '86

220
00:11:30,916 --> 00:11:33,666
and then I still had
my hand in it

221
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:37,166
from '86 through '99 when I
retired from the department.

222
00:11:37,250 --> 00:11:40,041
It became common knowledge
amongst all the investigators

223
00:11:40,125 --> 00:11:42,875
that the crime scene
at the restaurant,

224
00:11:42,958 --> 00:11:45,666
the Burger Chef, wasn't...
wasn't handled properly.

225
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:47,541
Four people missing.

226
00:11:47,625 --> 00:11:49,083
An apparent robbery.

227
00:11:49,166 --> 00:11:52,583
There should have been
pictures, fingerprints.

228
00:11:52,666 --> 00:11:54,916
People should have been
interviewed -

229
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,916
witnesses and so forth -

230
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,458
and I don't believe
much was done.

231
00:12:01,041 --> 00:12:02,583
TODD: The part of this case that

232
00:12:02,666 --> 00:12:04,125
I'm probably
the most familiar with

233
00:12:04,208 --> 00:12:06,750
is the crime-scene photos.

234
00:12:06,833 --> 00:12:08,291
When you look at Ruth,

235
00:12:08,375 --> 00:12:09,916
the first shot

236
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,750
entered the side of her neck
from the back

237
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:14,666
and exited the front.

238
00:12:14,750 --> 00:12:16,625
You see that in Danny as well.

239
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:20,041
The first shots went through
his trapezoid from the back

240
00:12:20,125 --> 00:12:21,500
and then exited the front.

241
00:12:21,583 --> 00:12:24,083
Then the killer approaches Ruth,

242
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:26,250
puts the gun
to the back of her head

243
00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:28,125
and ends it.

244
00:12:28,208 --> 00:12:30,333
And Danny literally is
touching shoulders,

245
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:31,958
he's that close to Ruth.

246
00:12:32,041 --> 00:12:35,916
Turns toward Danny sideways
and puts two shots,

247
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,541
one in the side of his neck
and one into his jaw.

248
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:41,833
And those ended his life.

249
00:12:41,916 --> 00:12:43,500
When the shots rang out,

250
00:12:43,583 --> 00:12:46,208
Jayne and Mark bolt.

251
00:12:47,875 --> 00:12:49,791
Someone grabbed Jayne
from behind,

252
00:12:49,875 --> 00:12:52,125
reached over and stabbed her

253
00:12:52,208 --> 00:12:53,416
twice in the chest.

254
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:55,333
And on that second blow,

255
00:12:55,416 --> 00:12:56,833
probably as they went
to the ground,

256
00:12:56,916 --> 00:12:58,375
it broke off.

257
00:12:58,458 --> 00:13:00,791
They never found the handle,

258
00:13:00,875 --> 00:13:02,416
but the blade was
left in her chest.

259
00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:08,416
So Mark was found
at the base of a tree

260
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,125
on his back,

261
00:13:10,208 --> 00:13:14,416
and his hands were like this
above his head.

262
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:16,291
And he was positioned

263
00:13:16,375 --> 00:13:18,708
on a decline.

264
00:13:18,791 --> 00:13:21,000
Now, the injuries
that he received

265
00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:24,250
were all through
this area of his face

266
00:13:24,333 --> 00:13:26,375
and it looked to me

267
00:13:26,458 --> 00:13:30,250
as if it was almost
one single blow.

268
00:13:30,333 --> 00:13:32,833
He dropped right where he stood.

269
00:13:32,916 --> 00:13:35,041
He choked on
his own blood.

270
00:13:35,125 --> 00:13:36,500
Asphyxiated.

271
00:13:36,583 --> 00:13:39,333
He died from
a broken nose.

272
00:13:39,416 --> 00:13:40,750
I think...

273
00:13:40,833 --> 00:13:42,958
..Mark hit that tree.

274
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,166
These aren't just victims.

275
00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:49,208

with real families,

278
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:55,875
with real friends,

279
00:13:55,958 --> 00:13:58,083
that deserve justice.

280
00:13:59,166 --> 00:14:01,375
MAN: Well, I'm chasing answers.

281
00:14:01,458 --> 00:14:03,458
I'm chasing
answers for Theresa

282
00:14:03,541 --> 00:14:05,250
and for the
family members.

283
00:14:05,333 --> 00:14:06,875
They deserve closure.

284
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,375
TODD: All these theories
are out there

285
00:14:11,458 --> 00:14:13,333
and at one time had validity.

286
00:14:13,416 --> 00:14:15,000
But the reason they all exist

287
00:14:15,083 --> 00:14:17,041
is there was a lot of crazy shit

288
00:14:17,125 --> 00:14:20,000
going on in Indianapolis
in 1978.

289
00:14:20,083 --> 00:14:23,166
And when you look at them
individually,

290
00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:27,541
they fell in comparison to
this most famous unsolved case.

291
00:14:27,625 --> 00:14:31,041
So whenever something bad
happened to anybody

292
00:14:31,125 --> 00:14:34,291
or anyone threw away a gun
in somebody's yard

293
00:14:34,375 --> 00:14:37,875
or anyone came home with blood
on 'em around that time,

294
00:14:37,958 --> 00:14:41,208
people wanted to connect that
to the Burger Chef murders.

00:15:06,291 --> 00:15:08,916
I was just wondering if I
could stay back to help close.

298
00:15:10,875 --> 00:15:12,375

my help here.

is right in our face

and that's what burns me up
the most.

306
00:15:37,166 --> 00:15:40,416
There was a crew of
five guys interchangeably

307
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,500
that were robbing
all the Burger Chefs

308
00:15:42,583 --> 00:15:44,958
up to three weeks
before this one happened.

309
00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:51,416
I am 99.9% convinced

310
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:54,083
that the original investigators

311
00:15:54,166 --> 00:15:55,750
had the right theory.

312
00:15:55,833 --> 00:15:57,291
The robbery crew.

313
00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:00,791

prominent theories -

even though robbery
was pretty prominent

317
00:16:09,833 --> 00:16:11,416
in Indianapolis
at the time,

318
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:13,666
is a specific group
from Johnson County.

319
00:16:13,750 --> 00:16:15,791
It was a group of
4-5 guys - they kinda

320
00:16:15,875 --> 00:16:17,875
rotated out which ones
were involved at any given time -

321
00:16:17,958 --> 00:16:20,625
that would rob Burger Chefs
and Kentucky Fried Chickens.

322
00:16:20,708 --> 00:16:23,875

of what is theorised happened

somewhere around 11:00,

326
00:16:36,583 --> 00:16:38,125
and I had a little time

327
00:16:38,208 --> 00:16:40,291
before my dad was gonna
come pick me up.

328
00:16:40,375 --> 00:16:42,458
So I called George
to come up there.

329
00:16:42,541 --> 00:16:45,583
We dated...a year and a half?

330
00:16:45,666 --> 00:16:47,250
-Yeah.
-Close to two years.

331
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:48,375
Right.

332
00:16:48,458 --> 00:16:52,833

wild and crazy times.

MARY: We were gonna smoke
a joint and drink a little bit.

334
00:16:55,750 --> 00:16:58,791
We needed matches
to light the joint.

335
00:17:00,208 --> 00:17:02,500
I looked over
at the back of the place.

336
00:17:02,583 --> 00:17:04,666
The back door was cracked
a little bit.

337
00:17:04,750 --> 00:17:07,083
And I went to the door
and it was open.

338
00:17:07,166 --> 00:17:08,666
Well, I went in.

last person to see any of them

before they were taken.

343
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:23,500

park their car
some distance away,

345
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:28,041
then they would approach
the restaurant

346
00:17:28,125 --> 00:17:30,208
or the target location on foot.

00:17:31,333 --> 00:17:32,791

know, we lit up

clear their throat

00:17:44,416 --> 00:17:48,500
and when I looked up,
one of 'em spoke and said,

The other man was shorter,
maybe 5'8"-ish.

00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,375
He had a beard.

365

a better indication

come forward,

like the Bearded Man's composite

He was a bad guy.

I mean, he committed a butt-ton
of robberies, armed robberies,

388
00:19:30,166 --> 00:19:32,791
where he put people in fear
for a very long time.

The police say the only reason
he even recognised you

is because he worked
close to where you worked

410

for the robbery crew

00:22:00,625 --> 00:22:03,375
to steal an employee's car

440
00:22:03,458 --> 00:22:07,041

their getaway car was.

the employee car there

in their car.

does her car end up over by the park

But now, as I look back,

531
00:28:13,666 --> 00:28:15,791
I wonder if something
wasn't going down

532
00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:17,625
that she was worried about

533
00:28:17,708 --> 00:28:20,416
but she just wanted
to be secure in some way

534
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:22,958
about just being close
and holding each other.

535
00:28:23,041 --> 00:28:24,416
Maybe she was
afraid of something.

536
00:28:27,166 --> 00:28:28,916
I called her

537
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,166
later on that evening

538
00:28:31,250 --> 00:28:34,333
and she said, "It's dead,"

539
00:28:34,416 --> 00:28:37,166
which...those words
haunt me to this day.

Some of the contacts

544
00:29:29,625 --> 00:29:32,333
or people that Forrester
had brought up to us was...

545
00:29:32,416 --> 00:29:34,000
..Jayne Friedt's brother.

546
00:29:34,083 --> 00:29:35,375
Jimmy...

547
00:29:35,458 --> 00:29:37,625
I think he was in trouble a lot

548
00:29:37,708 --> 00:29:40,000
throughout his life.

549
00:29:40,083 --> 00:29:42,666
Don Forrester was aware
of him and knew him.

550
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:45,666
He was an enforcer
for that drug gang,

551

GINGER: I was scheduled
to work the 17th.

576
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,166
Mark did like me a lot.

577
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:40,041
There was another boy
working there,

578
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:41,250
his name was Brian,

579
00:32:41,333 --> 00:32:43,208
and he had asked me out
on a date.

580
00:32:43,291 --> 00:32:45,916
So I called Mark and
I said, "Hey, Mark,

581
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,125
"you know, Brian wants to
take me out on Friday night.

582
00:32:48,208 --> 00:32:49,875
"Would you work in my place?"

583
00:32:49,958 --> 00:32:51,166
And Mark said, "Sure."

584
00:32:51,250 --> 00:32:54,250
Around 4:30,
Mark called me

585
00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:56,291
and he told me that
something had come up

586
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:58,416
and he couldn't work for me.

587
00:32:58,500 --> 00:32:59,500
I said, you know what?

588
00:32:59,583 --> 00:33:01,375
Mark said that
he was gonna work for me,

589
00:33:01,458 --> 00:33:02,708
so he's gonna work for me.

590

back out of Ginger's shift

591
00:33:07,833 --> 00:33:09,250
at the last minute

592
00:33:09,333 --> 00:33:12,041
and people assumed it was 'cause

593
00:33:12,125 --> 00:33:14,333
I knew the Burger Chef
was gonna get hit

594
00:33:14,416 --> 00:33:15,916
and that my brother
was involved.

16-year-old son Mark

598
00:33:25,083 --> 00:33:28,291
was the victim now believed
to have forced the kidnapping

599
00:33:28,375 --> 00:33:30,375
by immediately fighting to protect
another of the victims,

600
00:33:30,458 --> 00:33:31,541
Jayne Friedt.

601
00:33:31,625 --> 00:33:33,583
I heard it out of her own mouth.

602
00:33:33,666 --> 00:33:35,291
She said...

603
00:33:35,375 --> 00:33:37,500
I didn't pay too much attention.
"Mark's my protection."

604
00:33:37,583 --> 00:33:39,541
Jayne Friedt said
Mark was her protector?

605
00:33:39,625 --> 00:33:42,375
I heard her say it
at the Burger Chef

606
00:33:42,458 --> 00:33:44,416
when I went there to get
some hamburgers one time.

607
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:46,291
What did she need
protection from?

608
00:33:46,375 --> 00:33:47,625

that's the point.

609
00:33:47,708 --> 00:33:49,833
I never even dreamed, you know?

610
00:33:49,916 --> 00:33:52,041
You don't think about
anything like that.

611
00:33:52,125 --> 00:33:53,791
No, I didn't even
think about it at the time.

612
00:33:53,875 --> 00:33:56,666
REPORTER: Friedt was the
restaurant's assistant manager

613
00:33:56,750 --> 00:33:58,166
and detectives believe
she may have had

614
00:33:58,250 --> 00:34:00,041
information
about a drug debt

615
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:01,583
the assailants had gone
to the restaurant to collect.

616
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:04,583
Later that evening,

617
00:34:04,666 --> 00:34:06,625
we drove by
the Burger Chef

618
00:34:06,708 --> 00:34:08,416
and realised things
weren't quite right.

619
00:34:10,041 --> 00:34:12,583
It was probably around midnight.

620
00:34:12,666 --> 00:34:14,958
And we were driving by.

621
00:34:15,041 --> 00:34:16,958
We see all the lights were on

622
00:34:17,041 --> 00:34:18,833
but Jayne's car was gone.

623
00:34:24,375 --> 00:34:26,000
DONALD:

624
00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:41,083
GINGER: Brian says, "Let's stop
in and see what's going on."

625
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:42,583
And I said, "I can't.

626
00:34:42,666 --> 00:34:45,250
"I gotta be home by
midnight or my dad will freak out."

627
00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:47,416
So he dropped me off,

628
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:49,916
and then Brian's the one
that came back to Burger Chef

629
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,500
and realised that
the back door was open

630
00:34:52,583 --> 00:34:55,791
and went in and saw
things weren't...right.

631
00:34:55,875 --> 00:34:59,291
So then Brian
called the manager.

632
00:34:59,375 --> 00:35:02,708
So then the manager
called the police.

633
00:35:02,791 --> 00:35:06,000
It was unusual that Jayne...
the manager's car being gone

634
00:35:06,083 --> 00:35:08,083
and the lights being on
in the restaurant.

and he won't let
anything bad happen to us.

00:35:52,291 --> 00:35:54,500
I spoke to my mom just before.

640
00:35:56,250 --> 00:35:57,666
I asked her if I could

641
00:35:57,750 --> 00:36:00,291
stay back and help close.

642
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:01,791
So if something bad
happens to me, Ruth...

643
00:36:01,875 --> 00:36:03,166
It's OK. It's OK.

it's their fault.

you'll be back with your mama

646
00:36:06,291 --> 00:36:07,708

through his ex-wife

656

to the homicide scene

659
00:37:43,416 --> 00:37:46,250
that was in a stream
at the entrance to this road

660
00:37:46,333 --> 00:37:48,416
that goes up to where
the children were murdered.

661
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:51,583
He did take those shell casings
to their house

662
00:37:51,666 --> 00:37:54,458
and flushed them
down the toilet.

663
00:37:54,541 --> 00:37:58,833
What he wasn't aware of, though,
that it was on a septic

664
00:37:58,916 --> 00:38:02,291
and they were still
in...in that septic tank

665
00:38:02,375 --> 00:38:04,333

666
00:38:05,583 --> 00:38:07,375
Forrester's gun was a .22.

667
00:38:07,458 --> 00:38:09,166
The killer used a .38.

668
00:38:10,625 --> 00:38:12,125
He said he shoved us
in the storeroom

669
00:38:12,208 --> 00:38:15,041
and at least one of us was
tied up with some kind of wire,

670
00:38:15,125 --> 00:38:17,333

marks on any of us.

is he doing,

672
00:38:18,708 --> 00:38:20,625
going back to the scene
of the crime days later,

673
00:38:20,708 --> 00:38:22,125
with his wife,
to collect shell casings?

674
00:38:22,208 --> 00:38:23,541
They found them
in his poop tank.

675
00:38:23,625 --> 00:38:24,791
Gross!

00:38:24,875 --> 00:38:27,125
Look, Pendleton Prison
was tough as hell

677
00:38:27,208 --> 00:38:28,541
and when he started talking
to Willsey,

678
00:38:28,625 --> 00:38:30,041
they moved him
up to Michigan City

679
00:38:30,125 --> 00:38:33,000
and I think he liked it there.

680
00:38:33,083 --> 00:38:35,166
So he confessed to
a quadruple murder

681
00:38:35,250 --> 00:38:36,708
that could get him
in the electric chair?

682
00:38:36,791 --> 00:38:38,041
JAYNE: Listen.

683
00:38:38,125 --> 00:38:40,291
The prosecutor had access
to the confession

684
00:38:40,375 --> 00:38:41,750
but still decided
not to prosecute.

685
00:38:44,416 --> 00:38:46,666

me to change

686
00:38:46,750 --> 00:38:48,375
what was the truth

687
00:38:48,458 --> 00:38:50,291
and give
them a lie.

688
00:38:50,375 --> 00:38:52,833
If I had did that,
you know,

689
00:38:52,916 --> 00:38:54,708
I would never have
talked to them in the first place.

690
00:38:56,583 --> 00:38:59,958
We had a meeting with
the prosecutor of Marion County

691
00:39:00,041 --> 00:39:02,333
here in
the Sheriff's Department.

692
00:39:02,416 --> 00:39:06,458
We were confused
why they...they didn't proceed.

693
00:39:06,541 --> 00:39:08,250
And like I said,
their excuse was...

694
00:39:08,333 --> 00:39:10,041
..or their reasoning was

695
00:39:10,125 --> 00:39:11,875
that he was already
doing 99 years.

696
00:39:11,958 --> 00:39:14,750
And mine was...

697
00:39:14,833 --> 00:39:16,916
..I think the families

698
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,916
need to know

699
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,583
so they have
some sort of closure.

700
00:39:21,666 --> 00:39:23,250
And...

701
00:39:23,333 --> 00:39:24,916
..it never happened.

702
00:39:26,833 --> 00:39:29,041
There's a reason Forrester
was never convicted.

703
00:39:29,125 --> 00:39:32,708
There are too many
inconsistencies to his story.

704
00:39:32,791 --> 00:39:35,750
He confessed twice and
then took them back both times.

705
00:39:35,833 --> 00:39:37,958
Right. And one of the guys
he named in his crew

706
00:39:38,041 --> 00:39:40,083
was in jail the night
this all went down.

707

by Marion County cops,

709
00:39:44,791 --> 00:39:46,416
they put him in the war room

710
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:47,958
where all of
the crime scene photos

711
00:39:48,041 --> 00:39:49,666
and evidence were on the wall.

712
00:39:49,750 --> 00:39:51,000

take place?" "Yes."

"How many times was the person
stabbed?" "Once."

"Well, who stabbed her
the second time?"

I thought he'd been fed

what just happened?"

of a girl that was dating
Brett Kimberlin

820
00:45:26,125 --> 00:45:29,500

the relationship

821
00:45:29,583 --> 00:45:31,083

I think that Brett Kimberlin

826
00:45:44,625 --> 00:45:47,833
had Bill Bowman
kill Julia Scyphers.

827
00:45:49,083 --> 00:45:50,666

witnessed it...

..but he died before anything
could be taken to trial.

no conscience.

00:46:08,750 --> 00:46:10,708
But I think even monsters
still feel,

833
00:46:10,791 --> 00:46:13,791
and I don't think he
even has any feelings.

Brett Kimberlin was kind of
a bogeyman in Speedway.

883
00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:27,208
Bunch of folks think
it was him who killed us.

884
00:48:27,291 --> 00:48:30,291
He's a dead ringer for the
sketch of the Clean-Shaven Man.

885
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,208
But there are some problems
with this theory.

886
00:48:39,041 --> 00:48:41,708
BRETT: It was the '70s and a lot
of people were smoking pot.

887
00:48:41,791 --> 00:48:47,208
And there was a large
market, so I started selling pot.

888
00:48:47,291 --> 00:48:49,291
I didn't have any issues with...

889
00:48:49,375 --> 00:48:51,791
..really with customers
or with...

890
00:48:51,875 --> 00:48:53,916
..police or anything

891
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,666
until this whole thing...

892
00:48:55,750 --> 00:48:58,041
..you know, crashed down on me.

893
00:48:58,125 --> 00:49:01,333
But I supposedly became
a suspect in the bombings

894
00:49:01,416 --> 00:49:03,291
and got arrested.

895
00:49:03,375 --> 00:49:05,541
I never got
out after that.

896
00:49:05,625 --> 00:49:07,666
And gave me 50 years.

897
00:49:07,750 --> 00:49:10,250
He was shipping
tonnes of marijuana

898
00:49:10,333 --> 00:49:12,333
across international borders.

899
00:49:12,416 --> 00:49:16,666
So why the heck would he deal
dime bags to kids?

900
00:49:16,750 --> 00:49:20,041
The fact that they never
solved the Burger Chef murders...

901
00:49:20,125 --> 00:49:21,875
I'm just floored

902
00:49:21,958 --> 00:49:25,625
that four beautiful kids
could be killed

903
00:49:25,708 --> 00:49:30,291
and no-one would be
held responsible.

904
00:49:30,375 --> 00:49:34,500
You know, he wasn't even in the
gosh-darn papers at this point.

905
00:49:34,583 --> 00:49:36,458
So, how did I recognise him?

906
00:49:36,541 --> 00:49:38,791

what was his motive?

laying there,

And that's how we first

a kind of a rambling story

ALLEN: Well,
I was in a cell block

951
00:53:16,791 --> 00:53:19,958
and one day I heard them
announce over the intercom,

952
00:53:20,041 --> 00:53:22,833
"James Friedt," you
know, "Come to the door."

953
00:53:22,916 --> 00:53:26,833
And I thought, "James
Friedt," you know, I thought,

954
00:53:26,916 --> 00:53:28,916
"I wonder if that's
Jayne's brother," you know?

955
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,875
I kind of recognised him
with that black curly hair

956
00:53:32,958 --> 00:53:34,958
and, you know, beard.

957
00:53:35,041 --> 00:53:38,916
I said, "Are you Jayne
Friedt's brother?"

00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,791
"Yeah, I am. What about it?"

959
00:53:42,875 --> 00:53:46,958
I said, "Word is,
I heard you got your sister

960
00:53:47,041 --> 00:53:49,916
"and them three other kids
killed up at the Burger Chef."

"Oh, what the fuck
you talking about, man?"

00:53:52,041 --> 00:53:54,250
He goes, "Who the hell
did you hear that from?"

00:53:54,333 --> 00:53:55,750
You know, what if it is true?

964
00:53:55,833 --> 00:53:58,083
What if he did get his sister
and them kids killed?

965
00:53:58,166 --> 00:54:02,083
Because I heard back in
school days he was a coke dealer.

966
00:54:02,166 --> 00:54:04,708

his sister involved

967
00:54:04,791 --> 00:54:07,541
and some shit went wrong.

968
00:54:07,625 --> 00:54:09,250

want to do tonight?"

1052
00:57:57,083 --> 00:57:58,625
That's my car! I...

1053
00:58:08,708 --> 00:58:10,000
JAYNE: Look, the cops said

1054
00:58:10,083 --> 00:58:12,375
Pruitt was the only one
who saw what happened.

1055
00:58:12,458 --> 00:58:14,625
MARK: Right,
but his story's changed

1056
00:58:14,708 --> 00:58:16,291
so many times over the years.

1057
00:58:16,375 --> 00:58:18,125
One time he said
it might have even been

1058
00:58:18,208 --> 00:58:20,708
your brother Jimmy he saw,
not Jeff Reed.

1059
00:58:20,791 --> 00:58:23,041
Right, and what about the time
he said there was another car

1060
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:25,125
and two black guys?

1061
00:58:25,208 --> 00:58:27,041
So why would Pruitt lie?

1062
00:58:27,125 --> 00:58:28,541
JAYNE: Depends
who you ask.

1063
00:58:28,625 --> 00:58:30,000
I heard he was a lookout.

1064
00:58:30,083 --> 00:58:31,833
He was in and out of jail too.

1065
00:58:31,916 --> 00:58:33,958
He passed a
dang polygraph.

1066
00:58:34,041 --> 00:58:37,166
OK, so this is where
shit gets crazy.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

1068
00:58:40,041 --> 00:58:42,833
JIM: Allen Pruitt told us,
about four in the afternoon

1069
00:58:42,916 --> 00:58:44,541
he was at this Dairy Queen
in Avon,

1070
00:58:44,625 --> 00:58:46,625
which was the local hangout.

1071
00:58:46,708 --> 00:58:48,333
The van he had seen

1072
00:58:48,416 --> 00:58:50,375
at the Burger Chef
the night before pulled in,

1073
00:58:50,458 --> 00:58:55,041
and that Tim Willoughby
and Jeff Reed were in the van.

1074
00:58:55,125 --> 00:58:57,625
He said he got in,
and in the back of the van

1075
00:58:57,708 --> 00:59:01,166
was Tim Willoughby's girlfriend,
Mary Ann Higginbotham,

1076
00:59:01,250 --> 00:59:04,125
and that she was dishevelled,
she appeared to be high.

1077
00:59:04,208 --> 00:59:05,833
And he says that Mary Ann

1078
00:59:05,916 --> 00:59:09,041
kept rambling on about them
killing these kids,

1079
00:59:09,125 --> 00:59:11,375
and that they tried to get her
to shoot one of them,

1080
00:59:11,458 --> 00:59:13,625
so she'd be
as guilty as they were.

1081
00:59:13,708 --> 00:59:15,375
They ultimately
got out of the van

1082
00:59:15,458 --> 00:59:16,833
and that Mary
Ann told him,

1083
00:59:16,916 --> 00:59:18,875
"Run, they're gonna
shoot you too."

1084
00:59:18,958 --> 00:59:21,125
And he did. He fled.

1085
00:59:21,208 --> 00:59:22,916
He said there was a gunshot.

(GUNSHOT)

1087
00:59:32,041 --> 00:59:34,125
It gets weirder.

1088
00:59:34,208 --> 00:59:37,166
Tim and Mary Ann couldn't
have been in the van.

1089
00:59:37,250 --> 00:59:39,333
They were meant
to be dead.

1090
00:59:41,125 --> 00:59:45,000
JIM: Tim Willoughby was
supposedly dead at the time.

1091
00:59:45,083 --> 00:59:47,125
Common thought,
because his girlfriend,

1092
00:59:47,208 --> 00:59:48,750
Mary Ann Higginbotham,

1093
00:59:48,833 --> 00:59:51,500
had been found
in Morgan County, Indiana,

1094
00:59:51,583 --> 00:59:53,750
sealed in a barrel
earlier that year.

1095
00:59:55,375 --> 00:59:58,333
The common belief
was that Tim was dead.

1096
00:59:58,416 --> 01:00:00,333
His body's never been found.

1097
01:00:00,416 --> 01:00:03,958
And to date he's not reappeared.

1098
01:00:07,916 --> 01:00:12,416
They thought that he had
died in June of '78,

1099
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:14,458
right before
the Burger Chef murders.

1100
01:00:18,541 --> 01:00:19,916
That's crazy, man.

1101
01:00:26,791 --> 01:00:28,125
JAYNE: So, according to this,

1102
01:00:28,208 --> 01:00:29,791
they were there
to collect money from me.

1103
01:00:36,041 --> 01:00:37,291
What?

1104
01:00:37,375 --> 01:00:39,291
Her brother would come up
to visit

1105
01:00:39,375 --> 01:00:45,583
and they would leave the
restaurant and go get high.

1106
01:00:45,666 --> 01:00:48,666
Burger Chef was supposed to be
a drug drop in the bathrooms.

1107
01:00:50,625 --> 01:00:52,166
I was on break

1108
01:00:52,250 --> 01:00:55,375
and I went up and I bought
a hamburger for my lunch

1109
01:00:55,458 --> 01:00:57,750
and I left my wallet
on the counter.

1110
01:00:57,833 --> 01:01:00,000
Went back up, it was gone.

1111
01:01:00,083 --> 01:01:03,083
Six months later,
I'm cleaning the bathroom

1112
01:01:03,166 --> 01:01:06,666
and I look up and I see the
ceiling tile is not straight.

1113
01:01:06,750 --> 01:01:09,291
So I climb up on the toilet
to straighten it up

1114
01:01:09,375 --> 01:01:11,291
and my wallet falls out.

1115
01:01:11,375 --> 01:01:12,291
Oh.

1116
01:01:12,375 --> 01:01:15,333
Could that be the drug drop?

1117
01:01:15,416 --> 01:01:19,208
I don't know the extent
of what was going on.

1118
01:01:19,291 --> 01:01:23,000
I just know that she would
leave with him frequently,

1119
01:01:23,083 --> 01:01:25,208
be gone for
20, 25 minutes,

1120
01:01:25,291 --> 01:01:27,416
and come back
with a whole new attitude.

1121
01:01:29,666 --> 01:01:31,166
JAYNE: It's ridiculous.

1122
01:01:32,958 --> 01:01:35,166
So I was some sort
of drug kingpin?

1123
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,833
Come on!

1124
01:01:39,916 --> 01:01:42,500
Well, what about Jimmy?

1125
01:01:42,583 --> 01:01:45,041
My brother was into some
bad shit with some bad people,

1126
01:01:45,125 --> 01:01:46,708
but I can't believe
he would let me die

1127
01:01:46,791 --> 01:01:48,708
because of a drug debt.

1128
01:01:50,541 --> 01:01:52,083
CHARLIE: Jayne had a brother,
Jimmy.

1129
01:01:52,166 --> 01:01:54,583
It was common knowledge
where he would...

1130
01:01:54,666 --> 01:01:57,250
..he would sell drugs.

1131
01:01:57,333 --> 01:01:59,750
Pot or maybe cocaine.

1132
01:01:59,833 --> 01:02:01,958
I hate to say black sheep,
but he was.

1133
01:02:02,041 --> 01:02:04,458
Would she have done
something for him?

1134
01:02:04,541 --> 01:02:07,250
Could she have got hooked up
with...with Jimmy

1135
01:02:07,333 --> 01:02:11,250
and done a favour for him
and sell bags of pot

1136
01:02:11,333 --> 01:02:12,708
or something
through the drive-up?

1137
01:02:12,791 --> 01:02:15,666
Probably.
Because she did love him.

GINGER: My theory is
that it was a drug deal...

1140
01:02:24,208 --> 01:02:25,958
..with Jayne's brother.

1141
01:02:27,041 --> 01:02:29,541
There was another side of Jayne.

1142
01:02:29,625 --> 01:02:32,291
She didn't treat
all the employees

1143
01:02:32,375 --> 01:02:34,750
very kindly all the time.

1144
01:02:34,833 --> 01:02:37,083
She could get
pretty angry.

1145
01:02:37,166 --> 01:02:39,166
Pretty, um...

1146
01:02:41,250 --> 01:02:43,625
I don't know what words to say,
and I really feel bad

1147
01:02:43,708 --> 01:02:45,875
about talking bad
about somebody that has passed,

1148
01:02:45,958 --> 01:02:50,875
but she could get
in your face and I've...

1149
01:02:50,958 --> 01:02:54,041
She pointed her finger
in my face a few times.

1150
01:02:54,125 --> 01:02:57,750
At one point,
she left the restaurant

1151
01:02:57,833 --> 01:02:59,500
during working hours.

1152
01:02:59,583 --> 01:03:02,416
It was night, we were closed,
we were cleaning up,

1153
01:03:02,500 --> 01:03:04,666
and she was going to walk out
of the restaurant

1154
01:03:04,750 --> 01:03:05,958
for a little while.

1155
01:03:06,041 --> 01:03:08,708
And she got in my face
and pointed her finger.

1156
01:03:08,791 --> 01:03:12,291
"Don't you tell a soul that
I'm leaving, and if you do,

1157
01:03:12,375 --> 01:03:14,666
"I will make your life
a living hell when I get back."

1158
01:03:14,750 --> 01:03:18,291
What about your brother?

1159
01:03:18,375 --> 01:03:21,000
He does time for armed robbery
a few years from now.

1160
01:03:21,083 --> 01:03:23,250
And the apartment building
where you live

1161
01:03:23,333 --> 01:03:26,041
is basically a halfway house
for every crook in Speedway.

1162
01:03:26,125 --> 01:03:27,250
Jayne, stop.

1163
01:03:27,333 --> 01:03:29,416
OK, the black guys did it.
Nice.

1164
01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:31,250
JAYNE: When they dusted
my car for prints,

1165
01:03:31,333 --> 01:03:32,833
the only one
they found besides mine

1166
01:03:32,916 --> 01:03:34,708
belonged to a buddy
of your brother,

1167
01:03:34,791 --> 01:03:36,125
so get off your
high horse.

I'm sorry if this offends you,

01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,916
but we keep hearing
this shit about you.

1171
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,666
Is it true?

01:03:42,750 --> 01:03:44,750
-Did you owe people money?

1173
01:03:44,833 --> 01:03:47,000
This is not helping.

We can't look at
this whole thing

1177
01:04:04,875 --> 01:04:07,541
without looking
at you too.

1178
01:04:07,625 --> 01:04:12,750
But people talk about me like
I was living two goddamn lives.

1179
01:04:12,833 --> 01:04:15,708
I was just trying to work
stuff out like everyone else.

1180
01:04:15,791 --> 01:04:18,541
I just wanna go home.
Just like all of you.

I'm not just some footnote
in a murder mystery.

Some curio for people
to speculate about.

1183
01:04:29,750 --> 01:04:32,166
"Oh, I knew that girl who died
at the Burger Chef,"

1184
01:04:32,250 --> 01:04:34,041
or, "I took AP Bio
with that dead girl."

1185
01:04:34,125 --> 01:04:35,541
I'm me!

1186
01:04:38,291 --> 01:04:40,541
THERESA: I feel like that,
a lot of times,

1187
01:04:40,625 --> 01:04:43,708
we hear all about
the bad people's names

1188
01:04:43,791 --> 01:04:47,125
and their lives
and what they were into.

1189
01:04:47,208 --> 01:04:52,416
And then we call
everyone else the victim.

1190
01:04:52,500 --> 01:04:53,666
Um...

1191
01:04:55,625 --> 01:04:57,625
That's not... That's not right.

1192
01:04:57,708 --> 01:04:59,000
They weren't victims.

1193
01:04:59,083 --> 01:05:03,250
They were my sister, Ruth,

1194
01:05:03,333 --> 01:05:06,041
her manager, Jayne,

1195
01:05:06,125 --> 01:05:08,666
Mark and Danny.

1196
01:05:08,750 --> 01:05:11,958
Nobody had 'victim'
across their name tag.

1197
01:05:12,041 --> 01:05:14,791
Why are we notarising

1198
01:05:14,875 --> 01:05:18,166
the people who may have
been responsible

1199
01:05:18,250 --> 01:05:21,375
and forgetting that the people
that they killed

1200
01:05:21,458 --> 01:05:23,500
were real people?

1201
01:05:25,916 --> 01:05:27,916
MARK: You know,
I used to wear ankle weights

1202
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,541
under my pants every day

1203
01:05:29,625 --> 01:05:32,333
so I could jump higher
on the basketball court.

1204
01:05:34,375 --> 01:05:36,875
I remember I'd take them off
at the end of the day

1205
01:05:36,958 --> 01:05:38,916
and I felt so light
it's like I could fly.

1206
01:05:40,458 --> 01:05:42,291
Dang, I wish I felt
like that right now.

1207
01:05:44,708 --> 01:05:46,958
Did it work?

1208
01:05:47,041 --> 01:05:49,208
MARK: Yeah, but I got cut
from the team

1209
01:05:49,291 --> 01:05:51,000
'cause I wouldn't cut my hair.

1210
01:05:51,083 --> 01:05:52,833
Believe that?

1211
01:06:00,041 --> 01:06:01,583
RUTH: There's another witness.

1212
01:06:02,708 --> 01:06:03,750
Jean Bland.

1213
01:06:06,291 --> 01:06:08,500
JEAN: We were driving
down Crawfordsville Road.

1214
01:06:08,583 --> 01:06:10,166
We slowed down

1215
01:06:10,250 --> 01:06:12,833
and tried to kind of see
what was going on.

1216
01:06:12,916 --> 01:06:17,500
And that's when I noticed
a single-file line of kids

1217
01:06:17,583 --> 01:06:20,416
walking to a van
from the side door.

1218
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:22,541
I see a man in the lead,

1219
01:06:22,625 --> 01:06:24,458
and then there was someone
holding the door open

1220
01:06:24,541 --> 01:06:26,125
for them to walk out of.

1221

"There's something strange
about that."

an anniversary,

my husband would call in again
and he'd be like,

"We seen this.

1230
01:06:52,458 --> 01:06:54,333

he does claim that he had
a vehicle

1380
01:15:35,083 --> 01:15:36,625
that very closely
matches that description -

1381
01:15:36,708 --> 01:15:39,666
a '70s model Ford Econoline,

1382
01:15:39,750 --> 01:15:42,833
a yellow colour
but with a red primer as well.

So especially
under certain lights,

1384
01:15:44,666 --> 01:15:47,750
you could certainly mistake it
for lots of different colours

following the murders

where a man that fit the
description of the Bearded Man

1396
01:16:26,041 --> 01:16:28,500
was seen in an orange van

1397
01:16:28,583 --> 01:16:31,541
and then out up near
the Burger Chef building.

1398
01:16:31,625 --> 01:16:32,916
And kind of
as soon as he realised

1399
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,541
the cameras were on him,

1400
01:16:34,625 --> 01:16:36,041
kind of got skittish
about being there.

1401
01:16:36,125 --> 01:16:37,833
You know, kind of claimed

1402
01:16:37,916 --> 01:16:40,041

get him on camera and took off.

1406

for everybody in the evenings
or whatever.

1407
01:17:02,541 --> 01:17:07,375
And Jeff had came up to me and
he seemed a little distraught

1408
01:17:07,458 --> 01:17:10,541
and wanted to...wanted to talk.

1409
01:17:10,625 --> 01:17:12,541
So, he said there was something

1410
01:17:12,625 --> 01:17:14,208
that he really needed
to talk about.

1411
01:17:14,291 --> 01:17:16,041
And I could tell by Jeff,
he wasn't the type

1412
01:17:16,125 --> 01:17:18,458
that was real loose with
his tongue or even, you know,

1413
01:17:18,541 --> 01:17:20,166
worried about anything.

1414
01:17:20,250 --> 01:17:22,458
So I said, "Yeah, well,
we can talk."

1415
01:17:22,541 --> 01:17:25,166
We went back to my house
at the time,

1416
01:17:25,250 --> 01:17:29,541
and said that he
was in some trouble

1417
01:17:29,625 --> 01:17:33,333
and didn't know really quite
what to do about it.

1418
01:17:33,416 --> 01:17:35,000
But I think he was more or less

1419
01:17:35,083 --> 01:17:36,916
trying to get it off his chest
a little bit

1420
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:38,958
to relieve
some of the, you know,

1421
01:17:39,041 --> 01:17:41,041
what was going through
on his mind.

1422
01:17:41,125 --> 01:17:42,833
And I don't know who else
he even told.

1423
01:17:42,916 --> 01:17:44,791
I might have been the only one.

1424
01:17:44,875 --> 01:17:46,416
I'm still reluctant
to tell you this now.

1425
01:17:46,500 --> 01:17:48,791
But I think everybody
that knew Jeff well enough

1426
01:17:48,875 --> 01:17:50,708
knew if you did talk,

1427
01:17:50,791 --> 01:17:53,916
then something bad
would happen to you.

1428
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:55,583
Like I said,
it's been a true...

1429
01:17:55,666 --> 01:17:58,166
..a true secret
that I've held for 40 years.

1430
01:17:58,250 --> 01:18:01,916
And he said, "Well, I had...
I was there that night

1431
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,833
"and...I really don't know
what to do."

1432
01:18:04,916 --> 01:18:07,875
So I just kind of stepped back
and I didn't know what he meant.

1433
01:18:07,958 --> 01:18:09,250
I just thought
maybe he was there

1434
01:18:09,333 --> 01:18:11,541
as, you know, a customer,

1435
01:18:11,625 --> 01:18:14,000
and to my disbelief,

1436
01:18:14,083 --> 01:18:17,041
he actually said that he was...

1437
01:18:17,125 --> 01:18:19,333
..was the one that was
responsible for it.

1438
01:18:19,416 --> 01:18:21,208
I think Jeff knew that...

1439
01:18:21,291 --> 01:18:23,958
..had possibly drove by
and seen her car there

1440
01:18:24,041 --> 01:18:25,583
or whatever
and said, "Hey!

1441
01:18:25,666 --> 01:18:28,000
"I know this person
owes some money.

1442

"If I can get it,
then all the better."

the domino effect started,

1444
01:18:34,916 --> 01:18:38,500
and it just...
it went just south real quick

into somebody else's business.

things started going totally
sideways and he didn't know...

adrenaline would jump in

put him in the back of the van.

to gather his thoughts,

1494
01:21:36,083 --> 01:21:38,541
there's all the people in...
in the Burger Chef

staring out the window.

He said he stuck them in
the cooler or something there

to kind of contain them
so he could get his thoughts

on what he was
actually going to do.

the Burger Chef,

they didn't want to
leave it there,

1503
01:22:08,250 --> 01:22:10,375
so he called somebody
to come pick the car up

1504
01:22:10,458 --> 01:22:12,458
to get it out of sight
and sell it.

We had some people
that would chop cars,

that they actually knew

that it was urgent.

1508

I guess he decided

1510

And take them out
to the woods or whatever.

01:22:34,166 --> 01:22:38,000

was to drop them off,

what to do afterwards.

didn't tell me what happened,

tried to escape

Got him a room.

Picked him up the next

1563
01:27:52,208 --> 01:27:55,166
I actually lied to him.
I told him I was retired.

I said, "Hey, I just want
to know the answer to this."

1565
01:27:57,750 --> 01:28:00,833
And I went through
what I believed happened

1566
01:28:00,916 --> 01:28:04,583
and, you know,
accused him of murder.

1567

him his rights.

accusing me of a quadruple murder,

1573

to say.

I gave him a ride to somewhere
and dropped him off,

1576
01:28:27,083 --> 01:28:28,958

1590

and you just looked at them
and decided

1591
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,625
that their lives didn't matter
and took that away.

about the fact

that they didn't just take
her daughter away,
