WEBVTT - Introducing - Bone Valley Season 5 | The Devil's Quarry: Preview

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>This series includes sensitive and potentially distressing topics, including sexual

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>assault and abuse involving children. Listener discretion is advised. On

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>November twenty second, nineteen ninety five, a hunter named Peter

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Erickson walked the woods of Carmel, New York, fifty or

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>so yards in from Fields Lane. He was out there

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>that morning with a buddy of his named Bruce. It

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>was the first day of a hunting season in Putnam County,

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>and the two friends were setting up a tree stand

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>that morning. That's the perch that hunters hinda waiting for

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a deer.

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>My buddy was down below. He's free to heights, so

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 2>he was handing me stuff and I was up in

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>this tree and all of a sudden, I look out

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>in the road, and there's like twenty cop cars pull up,

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, all at once, and then they start walking

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>into the woods, and you're like, what is going on here?

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>The Carminlson County seat of Putnam. It's still a pretty

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>small town enough so that Peter knew some of the

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.639
<v Speaker 1>cops who swarmed the woods that morning.

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>I recognized a few of them, one of them Pat

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>His name was Pacistaldo.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Pacstaldo, a detective for the Putnam County sheriff straight out

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>of a drugstore novel. He slicked his hair back in

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>a tight pompadour and wore a top coat even when

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>it was warm. Oh and he moonlighted on weekends as

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 1>an Elvis impersonator in several of the local dives.

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 2>And the guy kind of looked like Elvis a little bit.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>But that's why he was so memorable to me. It

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't my friend. I was like an acquaintance that we

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 2>knew from working there in the jail periodically doing electrical work.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So as they were coming in, I say, I ain't

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>doing what's going on? And he goes, well, somebody found

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 2>something in the woods.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Earlier that morning, another hunter had stumbled over something in

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>those woods. He went to check it out. It was

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>the skull of a preteen girl.

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 2>He had found that skull, took it home, took it home.

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Later that day, the hunter called the cops. And now,

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>as costalgo told Peter and Bruce, he was out there

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>looking for her body.

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.679
<v Speaker 2>So we're like, no way. You know, this is Putnam County.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Back then it was a quieter town. You don't hear

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>this stuff here. So my friend Bruce and I said,

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>do you mind if we kind of look around and

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 2>help you. So he goes, uh, yeah, no problem.

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Cops rarely let civilians walk their crime scene. According to Peter, though,

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>that's what happened here.

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>So I'm walking and my buddy Bruce goes, hey, come

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>over here.

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Castaldo and the other cops rushed over to Bruce. He

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>was crouched in the clearing between the trees, over a

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>mound of sticks and leaves that looked composed. He lifted

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the branches and a chunk of the ground

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>cover came up. He saw something underneath it.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 2>It was her skeleton. There's a tremendous amount of debris

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 2>as well. I mean, you see the skeleton, but it's

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>not like this bright white thing that's sticking out in

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the woods. There was a mandible the lower part of

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>the jaw and her moram was tied inde mandible was

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>sitting on the ground. There was hair there. You could

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>see there was hair there, dirty blonde like hair, just

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>laying there in the leaves. It was the ribbed cage.

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>It looked like it's kind of sickening. I mean, it

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>looked like the rib cage was mostly intact. This skeleton

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>was small too. It was It was a small skeleton.

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>It was horrible.

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>The body belonged to a twelve year old girl, a

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>girl going missing a full year prior. Her name was

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Josette Right and it was Costaldo they put in charge

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:26.039
<v Speaker 1>of finding her. The cops taped the site off and

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>gathered forensics. They were clothes draped over the body, including

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the coach she was last seen wearing. It was badly moldered,

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>with plant where it's growing through it. Her broad been

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 1>tied around her head. Forensics pros would later say that

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 1>it had been used to gagger, along with her underwear,

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>which had been stuffed in her mouth. Her hands were

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 1>bound in a complex odd tie. A sash cord ran

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>from her wrist to both her neck and ankle, yanking

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>her right foot back behind her and not far from

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>her body, cops found a hunting knife rusted in the damp.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm Paul Salatarov, and for thirty three years I've written

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>for Rolling Stone magazine. I go after racist cops who

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>shoot and kill on her black kids. I investigate me

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 1>on Nazi's bent on genocide in Virginia, and social media

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>tech lords who look the other way, while the cartel's

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>poisoned children on their platforms. Now, when you write those

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>kinds of stories, one after another, you build a layer

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>of callous around your heart. But this story has pierced

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the skin and will not give me peace. I keep

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>hearing the voices of girls who'd warned the cops about

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>a demon, a hundred of girls hiding in the woods.

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>And I keep hearing the voice of that demon in

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the woods, a voice that's still in my head five

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>years later. You'll soon meet him in this reason. In fact,

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>he's lurking here.

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 3>In this episode. To him, my madness, laughter, my fears, sorrows,

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.720
<v Speaker 3>depths are endless.

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 1>In this.

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Valley of the years. I want to see your revelation.

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 3>I want to know whar I'm reaching out and desperate

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 3>shn to the one who's holding the stars, to the

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 3>one who's holding holding the stars.

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the devil's quarry.
