Speaker 1: Pushkin previously on Deep Cover.
Speaker 2: So he starts telling us how it went down. That
Speaker 2: basically that he and Tommy decided one night to go
Speaker 2: and find a black man, to kill that black man
Speaker 2: so that they could get their spider web tattoos as skinheads.
Speaker 3: How optimistic were you that you were going to be
Speaker 3: able to get them what they needed to solve this.
Speaker 4: I was actually very.
Speaker 3: Optimistic, because we keep pretty good records on our dead bodies.
Speaker 3: We have a name, we have a victim.
Speaker 1: Last November, I traveled to Philadelphia to meet some of
Speaker 1: Iron Wood's relatives.
Speaker 5: Hello, my name is Michelle Wood, and Ron Wood is
Speaker 5: my uncle.
Speaker 1: It struck me right away that Michelle used the present
Speaker 1: tense iroan is her uncle, as if on some level
Speaker 1: he's still alive for her, and he kind of is.
Speaker 1: He still looms in her memories, even though Michelle was
Speaker 1: just three years old back in nineteen eighty nine when
Speaker 1: he was murdered.
Speaker 5: I always get this vision, but I don't know if
Speaker 5: it was like me just thinking about what happened, or
Speaker 5: if I actually remembered, but I always have this vision
Speaker 5: of on my grandmom's living room and everybody like in
Speaker 5: a circle. Hugging each other and crying.
Speaker 1: For Michelle, this vision, this memory is from the time
Speaker 1: that her uncle died, when they all gathered at her
Speaker 1: grandmother's house in North Philadelphia to mourn. And you heard
Speaker 1: her say, she can't even be sure if it's a
Speaker 1: real memory or something that she's just been told about
Speaker 1: so many times that it has slowly leached into her
Speaker 1: consciousness and become a memory. That vision of her family
Speaker 1: was something that she recalled and felt every time she
Speaker 1: walked into her grandmother's living room. Growing up, Michelle says
Speaker 1: she was very close with her grandmother, Dorothy Wood, Iran's mother.
Speaker 1: Michelle often wanted to ask her grandmother to talk about
Speaker 1: the past, to share some stories about her uncle Aran,
Speaker 1: but Michelle didn't ask because she'd been warned not to.
Speaker 5: My dad will always say like, if you have any
Speaker 5: questions about your uncle, asks me. You know, don't really
Speaker 5: try to talk to your grandma aboudy. So I would
Speaker 5: just listen when someone says something, but I didn't ask
Speaker 5: because I just felt like it was like a short topic.
Speaker 1: Occasionally Dorothy would talk about Iran. Michelle says back then,
Speaker 1: even as a child, she could sense her grandmother's pain,
Speaker 1: and she also sensed that her grandmother was trying to
Speaker 1: make sense of what had happened, of why Iran had
Speaker 1: been killed, because no one had ever been able to
Speaker 1: offer the family any explanation, not the police, or the neighbors,
Speaker 1: or even Iran's friends, and then not knowing seemed to
Speaker 1: eat away at Dorothy.
Speaker 5: I think that when it comes to certain particular deaths,
Speaker 5: I think that sometimes we put on a front with
Speaker 5: the world like we've gotten over it, because maybe people
Speaker 5: feel like they might be taught to hearing about it,
Speaker 5: or it's been so long you should be over it.
Speaker 1: Michelle remembers that her grandmother often recalled things that Iran
Speaker 1: said before he died. Apparently there were certain Bible verses
Speaker 1: to paraphrase, like when Jesus said, put your sword back
Speaker 1: into its place, for all who take the sword will
Speaker 1: perish by the sword. Dorothy wondered aloud, Why had Iron
Speaker 1: quoted this particular verse? What was he trying to tell us?
Speaker 1: Dorothy puzzled over this and other things that Iran said,
Speaker 1: as if these memories or these cryptic bits somehow held
Speaker 1: the secret to her son's fate.
Speaker 5: I think she was trying to get answers. I feel
Speaker 5: like she was still heartbroken a body.
Speaker 1: In some ways, Michelle was also looking for answers. She
Speaker 1: too wanted to know more about her uncle Iran, But
Speaker 1: there was perhaps quite understandably, a sense among some family
Speaker 1: members that the past was the past. It was painful,
Speaker 1: so best to let it be, best to move on.
Speaker 1: For Dorothy, this brokenheartedness, this yearning for an answer, It
Speaker 1: continued for a very long time, but there was no movement,
Speaker 1: no news, nothing. It seemed possible she'd never know who
Speaker 1: murdered her son or why. But then, seventeen years later,
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six, the Phillip d showed up
Speaker 1: at her house and knocked on her door. These cops
Speaker 1: were acting on intel from Scott and Terry's investigation. This
Speaker 1: door knock, it would set off a chain of events
Speaker 1: that would upend the Wood family and its understanding of
Speaker 1: the past, and it would instill in the family another yearning,
Speaker 1: entirely a yearning for justice. I'm Jay Calburn and this
Speaker 1: is Deep Cover, Season four, The Nameless Man, Episode three,
Speaker 1: The Yearning. When I started working on this story, one
Speaker 1: of the first things I did was reach out to
Speaker 1: the Wood family. I wrote letters, emails, sent a few texts.
Speaker 1: Initially I got no response, and then finally I heard
Speaker 1: back from Michelle right away. She became my ambassador to
Speaker 1: the Wood family. She told me that I really needed
Speaker 1: to speak with her father and her uncle, Iran's brothers.
Speaker 1: They were in their twenties when Iron died. Michelle suggested
Speaker 1: that I come down to Philadelphia and that we all
Speaker 1: get together. The Wood family had never really spoken publicly
Speaker 1: about Iran's death, not in any depth or detail anyhow,
Speaker 1: so I was surprised by this invitation, but I can't
Speaker 1: take any credit for it. It was all Michelle. She
Speaker 1: made it happen, and I got the sense it wasn't
Speaker 1: even that she wanted to speak so much as she
Speaker 1: wanted to listen to hear what her dad and her
Speaker 1: uncle had to say. All these years later, Michelle still
Speaker 1: yearned to know more about her own family and her
Speaker 1: uncle Aran, the man who'd been murdered under mysterious circumstances
Speaker 1: when she was just three years old. We all met
Speaker 1: up in an apartment that I rented in the Fairmount
Speaker 1: neighborhood of Philly. It was me, a producer, Amy, and
Speaker 1: three members of the Wood family. Michelle, her dad Michael,
Speaker 1: and her uncle Tyrone. The five of us crammed into
Speaker 1: a tiny shoe box of a living room. I mean
Speaker 1: the chairs were jammed in so tight our feet were
Speaker 1: practically touching. Dorothy passed away a few years ago, so
Speaker 1: sadly she wasn't there are we rolling on both?
Speaker 4: Okay, so let's talk about names.
Speaker 1: We're gonna pause for a second. That's my names, names,
Speaker 1: because the first thing you got to know about the
Speaker 1: Wood family is everyone has a nickname. Tyrone he's the
Speaker 1: youngest child, the baby. He was almost eight years younger
Speaker 1: than Iran. His nickname is the Golden Child because as
Speaker 1: a kid he got away with everything. But was that
Speaker 1: uh was that like a name that you embraced or
Speaker 1: were you like, Oh.
Speaker 4: I embraced it. I embraced it because I knew it
Speaker 4: was true.
Speaker 1: And then there's Michael, the middle child. He's Michelle's dad.
Speaker 1: He was six years younger than Iran, and he has
Speaker 1: a nickname too.
Speaker 6: Just go erin from the seventies like that, because when
Speaker 6: I started DJing in eighty two, that was still to
Speaker 6: discover the air was still coming. So that's why a
Speaker 6: lot of people, some people I grew up with. They
Speaker 6: know me as they'll call me DJ Mike, They'll call
Speaker 6: me Disco Mike.
Speaker 4: Disco. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was clear to me from the start, just a
Speaker 1: few minutes into our conversation that this is a family
Speaker 1: that likes to laugh. They told me they've always enjoyed
Speaker 1: each other's company. Tyrone the Golden Child remembers Thanksgivings when
Speaker 1: he would cook dinner and then cuddle up with his
Speaker 1: knees on the couch where he'd fall asleep instantly.
Speaker 7: Yes, we had a you know, football game one because
Speaker 7: I cooked and not all the time, not all the time.
Speaker 7: But are you gonna talk about that?
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, that's how I was at my grandma host
Speaker 5: to a couch, always fell asleep on couch.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was a sleeping film.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, you guys said something.
Speaker 1: You guys have a close family.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: At this point, there was a pause in our conversation.
Speaker 1: No one spoke for a moment. You could almost feel
Speaker 1: a muted sadness creep into the room like cold air
Speaker 1: through a crack in the wall. And then, totally unprompted,
Speaker 1: Michelle said, uh.
Speaker 5: You know, I often wonder how it would have been
Speaker 5: if my uncle was still up, you know, getting to
Speaker 5: know him more.
Speaker 1: Where does that thought leave you when you go down
Speaker 1: that road?
Speaker 5: Oh I guess now, I feel like this would be
Speaker 5: a good time to start, you know, bridging the gifts
Speaker 5: and stuff with our.
Speaker 1: Family, bridging the gaps. Michelle was referring to other relatives
Speaker 1: in the family who knew Iran that they'd lost touch with.
Speaker 1: But as I saw it, there seemed to be other
Speaker 1: gaps too, gaps in memory, things that Michelle couldn't remember
Speaker 1: or never knew about her uncle Iran. And that's really
Speaker 1: while we were here to talk about the one brother
Speaker 1: who was absent. Iran, of course, had a nickname of
Speaker 1: his own, Cat. Apparently it came from the animated cartoon
Speaker 1: Top Cat. It was popular back in the sixties.
Speaker 4: The top Cat.
Speaker 1: Top Cat was the leader of a gang of alley
Speaker 1: cats from Manhattan who were always hustling with get rich
Speaker 1: quick schemes. Their plans usually backfired comically. So Iran was
Speaker 1: a big fan of the show, and apparently he was
Speaker 1: also a smooth operator.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, he was. He's a smooth, smooth dude. I mean,
Speaker 7: you know, he, like I said, he wasn't the biggest guy.
Speaker 7: But everybody respected him. I mean they just and they
Speaker 7: listened to him. You know, old cat said, this cat
Speaker 7: said that he loved he loved cats. Soon he loved cads.
Speaker 6: I remember I was funny, right because I remember he
Speaker 6: would when he would kiss the cats, he would kiss
Speaker 6: him in the name off and my mom was, I'll tell
Speaker 6: his girlfriend, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Why you kiss.
Speaker 6: On the line, he'd be kissing them cats in the.
Speaker 1: In the neighborhood. Iran seemed to embrace the role of topcat,
Speaker 1: a little guy with a lot of bluster. He was
Speaker 1: a good basketball player and a ladies man too, a
Speaker 1: real sharp dresser. In fact, as he got older and
Speaker 1: could afford it, Iran had his clothing custom made by
Speaker 1: a local tailor. Iran very much played the role of
Speaker 1: the big brother, looking out for his siblings, keeping them safe.
Speaker 1: When Michael or Tyrone played basketball or hung out at
Speaker 1: the park, they never had to worry about people messing
Speaker 1: with them. Everyone knew they were cats, younger brothers, and
Speaker 1: according to Tyrone, this allowed them to remain just kids
Speaker 1: much longer than they otherwise would have, even though there
Speaker 1: was crime in their neighborhood. The Woods House never got burglarized.
Speaker 1: This was Aron's doing. The brother told me, this was
Speaker 1: his reputation, keeping them safe like a shield, or so
Speaker 1: it seemed. In the late seventies and early eighties, when
Speaker 1: the Wood brothers were coming of age, Philadelphia was grappling
Speaker 1: with an uptick in homicides, and at times the threat
Speaker 1: of danger felt very real to the Wood family. There
Speaker 1: was one occasion when Iran was in his twenties, Aram
Speaker 1: was at the park. Someone shot off a gun and
Speaker 1: the bullet grazed at Iran's body. He had to go
Speaker 1: to the hospital to get patched up. What was a
Speaker 1: close call and reminder that no one was entirely safe.
Speaker 1: The brothers say that Iran was the type of young
Speaker 1: man who was always testing boundaries, pushing it a little bit,
Speaker 1: which sometimes caused tension with their mom, Dorothy. Even so
Speaker 1: Iran helped out. Whatever money he made, he always shared
Speaker 1: it with their mom. Here's Michael, I.
Speaker 4: Do not even give him money.
Speaker 6: You know, whatever various jobs or whatever he did out
Speaker 6: on the STREETL like that.
Speaker 4: He wasn't no choir boy, you.
Speaker 6: Know, because he was evolving different things. You know, he was,
Speaker 6: I mean, I know he was in this you know,
Speaker 6: selling drugs and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Michael and Tyrone didn't know all the details, but they
Speaker 1: understood their older brother was quote no choir boy. By
Speaker 1: the time that he was in his late twenties, Iran
Speaker 1: ran a local speakeasy and he also sold drugs. But
Speaker 1: to his brothers he was top cat, the lovable rascal
Speaker 1: who was always there for them. When it came time
Speaker 1: for Disco Mike to go to the prom, it was
Speaker 1: Iran who took him to get a snazzy suit at
Speaker 1: a men's shop called Today's Man. Later, when Michael wanted
Speaker 1: to find work as a DJ, Iran had him spin
Speaker 1: records at his speakeasy. Tyrone, the youngest the Golden Child,
Speaker 1: remembers fondly being in his twenties and going to Cats
Speaker 1: speakeasy when Disco Mike would spend his records.
Speaker 7: He would DJ and my brother would you know, run
Speaker 7: the place, and you know, at the at the end
Speaker 7: of the night we would go up there. He'd count
Speaker 7: the money or whatever, give Michael whatever, And that was
Speaker 7: like a really fun time for me because it was
Speaker 7: a time I got to spend time with both my
Speaker 7: brothers at the same time with no no, no drama
Speaker 7: or no nothing wrong, if just a happy time.
Speaker 1: Tyrone smiled when he told this story. You could see
Speaker 1: him doing that thing where for a moment, you kind
Speaker 1: of step away from yourself and go back in time.
Speaker 1: It was sweet to watch, but also painful because I
Speaker 1: knew what came next. We're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 1: There are single moments in time when fate takes a
Speaker 1: jagged turn, like a dog like intersection that dumps you
Speaker 1: into a dead end. For the Wood family, this moment
Speaker 1: occurred in April of nineteen eighty nine. The Wood brothers
Speaker 1: were adults. They had families of their own. Iran was
Speaker 1: thirty three, Michael was twenty eight, and Tyrone, the baby,
Speaker 1: the Golden Child, was twenty six. It was Tyrone who
Speaker 1: got the call from their mother telling him that something
Speaker 1: terrible had happened. Their oldest brother had been shot in
Speaker 1: the head and left for dead. The police didn't have
Speaker 1: a shooter. They didn't even have any leads either. Tyrone
Speaker 1: and Michael were at a loss. Sure, maybe Ron was
Speaker 1: no choir boy, but as far as they knew, he
Speaker 1: didn't have any enemies either. As Tyrone recalled.
Speaker 4: Everybody liked him.
Speaker 7: That's why We was baffled, like, oh, somebody shot a
Speaker 7: Ron shot Aron. You can't nah, no way, And I
Speaker 7: guess that's what Pussimos beginning.
Speaker 4: Couldn't figure that out.
Speaker 1: Still in a state of shock, the brothers rushed over
Speaker 1: to be with their mom. How did your mom? What
Speaker 1: state was your mom?
Speaker 7: And at that point, I know she was really out
Speaker 7: of it. She was really destroyed. She was really destroyed.
Speaker 7: She was in kind of a bad way. So we
Speaker 7: tried to just be there for her. I don't know
Speaker 7: what can we say. You know, that's her oldest son.
Speaker 7: You know, I didn't know how to react, especially to
Speaker 7: a violent crime like that. I was kind of mad
Speaker 7: at God. I was like, how can you do this
Speaker 7: to me? I was thinking, well, what do we wanna
Speaker 7: do now? You know that sort of thing, you know,
Speaker 7: how do we how do we go on? And then
Speaker 7: cause you know, that was the first real violence in
Speaker 7: my life, and that at that time, it took me.
Speaker 7: I went to a tailspind. I wasn't myself, you know,
Speaker 7: cause I was just in self destruct mode. I guess
Speaker 7: day before his funeral, I disappeared. I was drinking and
Speaker 7: and you know, as a matter of fact, I came
Speaker 7: to my mother's house the day before the funeral, uh
Speaker 7: in the middle of the night, and they made me
Speaker 7: go upstairs and go to bed.
Speaker 1: They took away his keys. They didn't want him driving.
Speaker 1: They just wanted to keep him safe. A few days later,
Speaker 1: Tyrone went to the spot where his brother was killed
Speaker 1: on the thirteen hundred block of Stillman Street.
Speaker 7: I actually want to see, oh, where it happened. When
Speaker 7: was the last place he was at? Yeah, I also
Speaker 7: want to see the last place he was at.
Speaker 1: Basically, did he give you any peace or anything?
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 7: I wept a lot. I don't even I don't even
Speaker 7: know who was with me. I don't know if I
Speaker 7: was by myself. I don't know. I just know I
Speaker 7: drove there and I just cried and cried and just
Speaker 7: you know, but I had to see. I had to
Speaker 7: see the last place my brother was here was on earth.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Michael, the middle brother, he was also struggling. The
Speaker 1: night before the service, he went to the funeral home
Speaker 1: to see his brother in a coffin, and in this
Speaker 1: quiet moment, he kissed around on the forehead. What Michael
Speaker 1: remembers next is the wake. Everyone gathered at their mom's
Speaker 1: house to grieve and pay their respects. Michael was still
Speaker 1: grasping for answers. There was still no new information on
Speaker 1: who murdered Iran, just rumors speculation about who might have
Speaker 1: a motive, but it was all chatter. At some point,
Speaker 1: Michael recalls, one of his aunts sat him down because
Speaker 1: there was something important that you wanted to tell him.
Speaker 6: She said, you have to forgive the person they killed
Speaker 6: your brother. And I don't even know this person is.
Speaker 6: I know he's somewhere around, I don't know. It could
Speaker 6: be somebody that came in in Allowance where I worked
Speaker 6: at DJ and stuff like that. I don't even know
Speaker 6: who this person is. Because it was like all kinds
Speaker 6: of rumors or I think so and so did it
Speaker 6: was he had an incident with this person. He had
Speaker 6: an incidant with that person, you know, so we don't
Speaker 6: even know who the enemy is.
Speaker 1: Michael had no idea who'd killed his brother, not at all,
Speaker 1: but his aunt was insistent that he needed to embrace
Speaker 1: the Lord's Prayer one verse especially.
Speaker 6: Which it says, particularly in the Lord's Prayer that in
Speaker 6: order for God to forgive you for your sin, you
Speaker 6: have to forgive your enemies like that.
Speaker 1: But this raises his question of like, how do you
Speaker 1: forgive someone that you don't even know who that person is?
Speaker 6: You don't know because you don't. I mean, it's hard,
Speaker 6: it's hard. I'm told this, and technically did I forgive
Speaker 6: that person at the time? My aunt is telling me this,
Speaker 6: and it's in my mind, but I don't think, be
Speaker 6: honest with you, I don't think right then, and I'm
Speaker 6: not forgiving that person.
Speaker 1: And how could he? How can you forgive a person
Speaker 1: you don't know, someone you can't picture, someone who has
Speaker 1: no face and no name. And this underscores a central
Speaker 1: irony and tragedy of this entire story. For the investigators
Speaker 1: who were trying to solve this case, the federal agents,
Speaker 1: their nameless man was the victim. Until they found him,
Speaker 1: they had nothing, no case, and no closure. But for
Speaker 1: the Woods, their nameless man was the perpetrator, the murderer,
Speaker 1: and until they found out who he was, there could
Speaker 1: be no forgiveness nor any peace either. In the aftermath
Speaker 1: of Iran's death, everyone in the Wood family struggled in
Speaker 1: their own way. Tyrone, the youngest, the golden child, struggled
Speaker 1: with alcoholism.
Speaker 7: Basically lost I lost a lot my first marriage. I
Speaker 7: lost that, so I had to basically just built myself
Speaker 7: back up again.
Speaker 1: Tyrone went to rehab, got sober, and leaned into his faith.
Speaker 7: I started reading the book again and that's basically what
Speaker 7: got me back on track. I've realized that what am
Speaker 7: I gaining by being mad at God? It I mean,
Speaker 7: it wasn't God that pulled the trigger.
Speaker 1: Tyrone says, it's not like he found all the answers.
Speaker 1: He still struggled with the how and why of his
Speaker 1: brother's death. Both brothers, Tyrone and Michael, did everything they
Speaker 1: could to be there for their mom.
Speaker 4: We all just made sure that she.
Speaker 7: Didn't feel like she was alone, you know, so we
Speaker 7: never let her be, and I think in time she
Speaker 7: I can't say she completely.
Speaker 4: Got over it, but she kind of being sided. She
Speaker 4: was a Christian, she kind of.
Speaker 7: Accepted it and for what it was, and she just
Speaker 7: gravitated towards us.
Speaker 1: She kind of accepted it. Tyrone said, I was reminded
Speaker 1: of what Michelle had said from the beginning about her grandmother,
Speaker 1: how sometimes it seemed she put up a front to
Speaker 1: the whole world like she'd moved on, because that's what
Speaker 1: people wanted her to do. But within the immediate family,
Speaker 1: they all kind of knew that Dorothy still agonized over
Speaker 1: her son's death, in part because she blamed herself for
Speaker 1: not doing more to keep her on safe. Here's Michael,
Speaker 1: the middle brother again.
Speaker 6: I remember she was always saying that I wish I
Speaker 6: could have really talked to him, or try to spend
Speaker 6: more time with him, or try to reach him. She
Speaker 6: kind of felt that she failed as a mother.
Speaker 1: As far as Tyrone, the youngest, remembers this too, how
Speaker 1: their mom kept blaming herself.
Speaker 4: She wished she could have did things a little different.
Speaker 4: But you can't.
Speaker 7: You can't. And I told it all. I said, you can't.
Speaker 7: You can't say that because you did the best you
Speaker 7: could what you have. I got told her to say,
Speaker 7: you didn't slack on him, you did the best you
Speaker 7: could understand circumstances. And then you raised three boys three men.
Speaker 7: You've made three boys into men. That's not easy. So
Speaker 7: I'd say you the best, mom.
Speaker 1: Even so, the question remained who was responsible for her
Speaker 1: son's death. In truth, they all still wondered about Iran
Speaker 1: and what had happened. Late at night, Tyrone found himself
Speaker 1: at home on the couch watching true crime TV shows.
Speaker 4: I used to watch.
Speaker 7: The unsolved mischievey shows and I often thought about calling
Speaker 7: because I was like, this is not right. How can
Speaker 7: a person get killed and no one knows anything.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until one day in two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: nearly two decades after Iran's death, that the family thought
Speaker 1: they might finally learn the truth.
Speaker 4: A police officer came to my mother's house.
Speaker 7: He said that we have a new lead about what
Speaker 7: happened with your son in nineteen eighty nine. And you know,
Speaker 7: she don't open the door for anybody, so she automatically
Speaker 7: just told them.
Speaker 4: She said, look, give me your card. My son's going
Speaker 4: to call you.
Speaker 7: So she's talking about me because she said she wasn't
Speaker 7: able to deal with it.
Speaker 1: Tyrone told his mother not to worry about it. He
Speaker 1: would call the detectives. So I'm kind of nervous, and
Speaker 1: then I just called.
Speaker 7: The detective said we were still investigating, but then we
Speaker 7: found out who killed your brother.
Speaker 1: And at first that's really all the police tell the
Speaker 1: Wood family, but it was enough to kindle some hope,
Speaker 1: to make them believe that maybe, after all these years
Speaker 1: of guessing and speculation, that they might finally learn what
Speaker 1: happened to Iran.
Speaker 7: We didn't like the speculation the family, and I thought
Speaker 7: that this would be good good if we found at
Speaker 7: least what happened to them. Can't do nothing about it,
Speaker 7: can't bring them back, but if we'll find out the truth,
Speaker 7: and the truth will probably help us help everybody in
Speaker 7: the family.
Speaker 1: That was the hope that the truth would help them,
Speaker 1: heal them, bring them some closure. But it would be many,
Speaker 1: many months before they would learn the full extent of
Speaker 1: what the authorities at pieced together. And during this time,
Speaker 1: Scott Duffy and Terry Mortimer, along with the PHILLYPD, they
Speaker 1: were hard at work scrambling to gather evidence with the
Speaker 1: hope that they might build a strong enough case to
Speaker 1: make an arrest and go to trial next time. On
Speaker 1: deep cover, it was definitely a different type of case.
Speaker 4: You know, a skinhead coming.
Speaker 5: To Philadelphi to kill somebody, a cowardly act.
Speaker 3: We'd say it to Craig. You were there, we weren't.
Speaker 3: Perhaps you blocked it out. Let's just drive and unlock
Speaker 3: your mind.
Speaker 2: So we're like, police, please get down, get down, And
Speaker 2: I'm yelling. Others are yelling tough for our lungs. And
Speaker 2: he just stands there like a deer in the headlights,
Speaker 2: just staring at it, staring at me, staring at them.
Speaker 2: And I could see in his mind, I can see
Speaker 2: in his face he's deciding what to do.
