WEBVTT - S2 E4: Hunting The Order 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:05.480 You're listening to Law and Order Criminal Justice System, a 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:12.840 production of Wolf Entertainment and iHeart Podcasts. This episode contains 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:17.200 discussions of sensitive topics including violence, hate, crimes, and the 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:22.320 use of discriminatory language and slurs. Listener discretion is advised. 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.800 In the criminal justice system, landmark trials transcend the courtroom 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.240 to reshape the law. The brave many women who investigate 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.160 and prosecute these cases are part of a select group 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:43.400 that is defined American history. These are their stories. December eighth, 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.080 nineteen eighty four, would be Island, Washington. 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.280 The high speed pursuit for Allenburg's killers didn't end on 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.560 a highway. It led to a bluff above Puget Sound, 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.880 where a two story cabin sat silent in the dark, 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.000 But it wasn't empty. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.560 Bob Matthews will not surrender, he refuses. 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.760 He was armed, cornered and waiting. 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.800 Darkness came. We decided to bring helicopters in. 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.760 The choppers dropped low, the thump of their rotor blades 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.360 cracked against the tree tops. 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.640 Set them right down on top of the roof of 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:29.520 Blowing shingles off the roof. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:34.399 The helicopter illuminated the rear of the house with a 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.240 huge ten thousand kindlepower spotlight. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.959 It was meant to flush Matthews out and enable a 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.600 safe arrest, but he had other plans. 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.840 Matthews opened up on the helicopter with a AR fifteen. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:59.600 The battle had just begun. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.440 I got a call, get out to LaGuardia Airport. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:06.360 There's been a bombing. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.600 There was a thirty two foot crater in front of 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:09.680 what was left of the building. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.239 I was trying to figure out, Am I dead? 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.200 Am I alive? Where am I? 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.680 I'm Aniseega Nicolazzi. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.440 That's why terrorism works. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.079 It doesn't care who you are. 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:23.800 From Wolf Entertainment and iHeart Podcasts, this is law and order, 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:33.400 criminal justice system. The nineteen eighty four killing of Denver 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.800 talk radio host Alan Berg had all the hallmarks of 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.720 a targeted hit. Was it someone he defended on his 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.000 show or was it part of something even bigger and 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.480 more dangerous for law enforcement to get from suspicion to 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.840 a courtroom that would take evidence and in the weeks 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:56.280 after the shooting, FBI Special Agent Wayne Mannis started to 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.280 collect what he needed. 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.360 I am preparing to get a wealth of information out 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.760 of the area. In Congress at the Area Nations Compound 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.600 July nineteen eighty four. Larry and the police department over 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.000 and Spokane. They've got some informants they're going to send 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.639 in and I'll get privy for what's happening. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.880 It was one of the largest annual gatherings of white 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.920 supremacists in the country. Wayne had been tracking them for months, 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.040 but still didn't have the green light to do more. 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:34.320 I complete this report to get authorization for a full 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.520 scale investigation near the end of June, and I send 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.640 it off. We go through the Aryan Compound in July 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.440 and I still don't have authorization to do anything. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.360 All Wayne could do was watch and listen. But from 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.120 the sidelines, Wayne saw something percolating that caught his attention. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.160 There was a guy that gave speeches there, a real 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:03.920 charismatic and his name was Lewis Beam. Lewis Beam was 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.640 a member of the k Clarks Klan out of Texas 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.240 and former Vietnam guy. He was a machine gunner, so 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.280 he has training and a lot of experience. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.480 But it wasn't Beam's combat record that made him dangerous. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.520 It was his ideas. Here again is terrorism researcher Michael Jensen. 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.159 Beam was able to articulate a set of tactical ideas 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.080 that became a key feature of the organization. One of 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.839 the most important foundational ideas in this movement is the 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.080 idea of leaderless resistance. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.680 Beam was more than another loud voice at the podium. 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.839 He was shaping the white supremacist playbook. 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:51.039 What Beam did was really to promote this idea that 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.920 anyone in everyone could get involved in the movement. Don't 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.600 wait for someone to come to you, start your own militia. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.560 As long as everyone agrees on the ideology and the 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:07.080 tactics that they're willing to use, the movement will survive. Ultimately, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:12.320 what he wrote about leaderless resistance became a foundational belief 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.000 for the movement. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.120 And by the time of the Aryan Congress, Beam had 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.680 been brought into the fold by one of the very 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.640 men Wain was watching, Robert Matthews. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.599 Unbeknownst to me, he's one of the guys that Bob 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.640 has recruited as an Aryan warrior during the time of 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.320 the aria In Congress, this guy's given us speech and 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:39.279 he says, we've already eliminated one of the most prominent 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.920 obnoxious Jews in our society. And of course I know 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.960 alan Berg has been killed, so what are you going 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.240 to think? That's what I'm thinking. This guy is saying 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.359 we have done this. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.320 This was more than just rhetoric. It was an admission. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.680 So I called repde and I said, I'm wondering about 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.359 this guy Lewis Beam. They said, well, we don't know 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.400 about him, but we got a suspect. And the suspect 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.920 is David Lane, who had a long and heated conversation 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.719 with him, and Alan Bert just absolutely slaughtered him in 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:23.360 the conversation. We think maybe David Lane. So he says, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.320 maybe you guys could take it up, and I said, yeah, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.080 you bet we will. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.600 Now wein had a name and an idea allen Berg's 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.520 murder might not be an isolated act of violence, but 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:42.279 potentially part of a much larger conspiracy and. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.520 Kind of read into what my thought process was at 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.360 that time. All this criminal stuff is happening, and in 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.640 my mind, I'm pushing it all into one group people. Yep. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.200 Can I prove it? No, I can't prove it, but. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.200 It's but you're starting to see it. You're starting to 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.440 figure it out, like each spoke and how you're. 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.279 Going to go after them exactly. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.040 Wayne had had a partial view, but now could see 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.800 the entire wheel. Its spokes were made up of white 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:15.880 supremacists and potential killers. The center was Bob Matthews. For weeks, 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.680 Wayne had been circling Matthew's group. He had informants at 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.400 Aryan nations, He had names and locations, but what he 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.600 didn't have was permission to chase down either. That changed 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.040 in early August. 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.760 After their annual area in Congress. The report comes back 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.800 in from the Attorney General's office and they said, yeah, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.440 you've got the authority to conduct a full scale investigation. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.800 Now the ropes. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.760 Are off and Wayne didn't waste time. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.280 So now they have sent me a first office agent 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:56.200 out of Denver, five people out of San Francisco, couple 0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:00.360 from Los Angeles. I've got my little group now, maybe 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:01.160 ten people. 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:03.960 The team got right to work. 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.600 I start to develop informants and I'm sending them in 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.119 seeing which ones take which ones don't. And I've got 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:16.000 several good informants inside the compound by the first of August. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.960 And in the summer of nineteen eighty four, while Weene 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.160 was embedding informants and working to build a case, Matthews 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:25.600 was plotting his next move. 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.280 Bob Matthews and his group have decided they're going to 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.480 move forward for another armored car robbery, and this one's 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.959 going to be the granddaddy of all robberies. 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:44.160 The target was a Brinks truck that take could be millions. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:49.720 Unbeknownst to us, Bob has recruited two people that worked 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:54.040 for brinch headquarters. They're giving him all the inside information 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:59.079 he needs. Now. They tell Bob there's a truck heading 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:04.360 up a state pass over near Santa Rosa, California, and 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.720 it's right for robbery. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.640 It was the type of mountain pass where you had 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.440 to slow down, so that's exactly where they decided to strike. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.680 Bob pulled together ten people that are real hitters. They 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.480 have people stationed along the highway that can announce on 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.679 their radio. We passed my point. He is really slowing down, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.200 and they got these various vehicles. Some of them are 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.120 up in front of the unit and some of them 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:37.199 behind it, and Bob dispatches them at the right time, 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.199 and so they move up. They force the armored truck 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.520 on the steep part of the highway off the road, 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.280 jump out, fully armed and They blocked the highway from 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:50.920 both directions. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.480 With rifles aimed and keeping traffic at a standstill. They 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.680 lifted a sign into the air and. 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.240 The sign says, get out, up or die. One of 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.440 the guys jumps up on the hood of the armored 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.280 car and opens fire into the windows, and he's blasting 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.720 out the windows. The guys inside the truck are terrified. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.120 They open the doors and they get out and they 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.000 lay them on the ground. Now cars are starting to 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.600 stack up on the highway, so there's somebody in the 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.480 back of the truck that's got to open the door. 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.959 It happens it's a woman. She doesn't open the truck door, 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.520 and so they open fire on the back windows of 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:34.240 that truck. She opens the door, Bob Matthews jumps inside 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.840 and they line up in a caravan. Bob's throwing out 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.120 money and they're passing throwing it, and he goes to 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.160 the trunk of a car and one guy has got 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:48.679 a stopwatch and he's counting the seconds. Twenty seconds, twenty 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.880 five seconds, thirty seconds. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.880 They plotted every detail down to how many seconds they'd 0:10:55.920 --> 0:11:00.280 have before police would arrive. But even precision doesn't always 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.840 proven mistakes. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:07.040 Bob's got a pistol shoved into the back of his pants, 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:11.000 and in the process of bending over getting these bags 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.320 of money and throwing them out, they're pretty heavy, the 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.480 pistol falls out. He doesn't know it. Finally they figure, okay, 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.720 that's time, let's go and if billions of dollars left 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.240 in the truck. But they got what they could get. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:25.400 Now they're going to leave. 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.280 They vanished up the mountain road. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.800 They got three point six million dollars out of that. 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:37.160 Robbery left in their wake or shell casings, a terrified 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:42.040 Brink's crew, and the gun. It didn't take long before 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:43.760 the FBI had it. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.200 We traced the gun, we find out it was sold 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.680 to a guy named Andrew Barnhill, find out everything we 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:55.880 can about him, and we find where he was arrested 0:11:56.200 --> 0:12:00.120 in Madrid, Oregon. He had checked into a hotel and 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.880 picked up a prostitute and that's how he ended up 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.240 getting questioned and arrested. But on his motel receipt he 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.760 listed an address in Laclead, Idaho. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.600 Just an hour north of the compound. Wayne had watched 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.480 in Courdeline. His team headed up, but they weren't the 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:19.720 first ones to get there. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.640 The neighbors tell me, well, there was about a dozen 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.480 people here just two days ago. They left. They were 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.320 there two days before we got there, in that house 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:34.240 fully armed. Had we showed up and they were there, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.760 you could imagine that would have been a terrible gun battle. 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.800 Having just missed their suspects. They searched the house where 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.120 Wayne found something odd that peaud his interest. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.080 So I'm searching this place and I find a little 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:54.679 box and it's got Andrew Barnes's most personal stuff in it, 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.839 even his baby teeth in an envelope. But on the 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:02.480 bottom of this ste of all this stuff is a 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.640 newspaper clipping cut out with scissors, and it's on the 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:12.600 armored car robbery in Seattle Bingo. Now, who's gonna do 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.400 that unless it's got real meaning to him? Yep, So 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.840 we know we're onto the right path. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.400 The pieces to this puzzle were all about to come together. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:29.199 Call everybody together at our headquarters office in Butte, Montana. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.120 We got everybody together. We got a blackboard up there. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:36.360 The secretary says, when you've got an important call from 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:41.520 the office in Philadelphia and it's FBI agent lou vs 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.319 good agent. He had gotten a call from Secret Service. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:51.480 They just captured a guy passing Bob's counterfeit money. Guy's 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.840 name is Tom Martinez. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.120 And Tom Martinez had a lot to say. 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.280 Guy says there's an art organization involved. He's more worried 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.839 about what the organization will do to him than what 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.200 we could do to him. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.440 During the interview, Martinez said something that would label this 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.319 case forever. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.880 Martinez is a member of a group called The Order. 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.640 The Order is a group that was formed by Bob 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.840 Matthews based on a book that was written by a 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.720 guy named William Pearce. Now, this guy wrote a book 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.080 called The Turner Diaries, and Turner Diaries is a fictional 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.960 book about a group of guys. They get together and 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.240 they form a little army. They want to kill all 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:44.120 the Jews and take over the United States. 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.920 This book became a sacred text for white supremacists to 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.920 cross the country. Here's Michael Jensen again. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.320 The Turner Diaries tells this fictional story of an anti 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.000 government group overcoming the tyranny of the US government through 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:01.280 large scale violence. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.760 Fictionally, they manage to do that, and they take over 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.600 an air Force space and they're in controllable missile and 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.960 eventually they take over the JEdgar Hoover Building in Worston, 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.400 d C. And they take over the country, and they 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.000 call themselves the Order. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.760 I think it would be hard to find another contemporary 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:27.880 text that has been more influential among not only the 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.960 groups that were active in the late seventies through the 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.880 mid nineteen nineties, but that are active today. The Turner 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.400 Diaries is still widely read by. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:42.800 Extremists, and it would become clear that Robert matthews belief 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.240 system was modeled after those writings. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.160 This is his bible. He's doing everything like they do 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.080 it in this book, and so far he's dead on 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.480 everything he's done. This book is my guide map. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:02.400 After that phone call, investigators moved and Tom Martinez became 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:03.359 a cooperator. 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:11.040 Martinez knows everything. He knows locations, places, he knows Bob Matthews, 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:17.880 he knows every member of the Order. He's a gold by. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:22.040 The FBI finally knew exactly what it was chasing a 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:27.440 terrorist organization, and now they had an informant inside. But 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.560 Bob Matthews was still out there and he had no 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:48.320 intention of stopping. The Order was a group that had 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:52.480 devised a plan for everything including how to evate detection. 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:59.000 The order is so organized. They have a guy in 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.560 their group and he set up a relay for them 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.639 where they can make phone calls from their headquarters office 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:11.680 that are not traceable. They would rent a house, put 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.480 the phone in the house, and that phone number. They 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.679 called it the bear trap. Each of their members, no 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.159 matter where they are, have to call this one particular 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.840 phone number every day and check in. Then thirty days 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.840 later they pull out of that in another house, put 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.359 a different phone number in that house, and that's the 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.600 bear trap number that's given to everybody. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.520 But by the fall of nineteen eighty four they had 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.800 started to get sloppy. As Wayne tracked their movements, they 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.720 would sometimes slip and call house phones instead. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.320 We found that a number of phone calls were made 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:55.840 to a number in Sandpoint, Idaho. We tracked that number down. 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:59.600 It's registered guy named Jerry Oldboo, and we set up 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.119 a ser on this house. After a couple of hours, 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.399 a guy walks out of the house and gets on 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.920 a motorcycle and I said, you know who that guy is. 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.320 I get a photo of him right here. It's Gary Yarborough. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.840 That's not a Jerry Old boob. That's Gary Yarborough. 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.080 The same guy Wayne had spotted in the Spokane armored 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.240 truck robbery. And now they watched him drive across the 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.840 street to use a payphone, even though there was a 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:27.480 working landline inside. 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:32.000 Why does the guy who's got a perfectly good phone 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.919 in his house get on a motorcycle drive two hundred 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.399 yards to a payphone and make a phone call. We 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.440 got to get a dump off that payphone, so we do, 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.560 and I find the number that was called was to 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:51.640 a place in Boise. That's where the counterfeitters are staying. 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:52.240 Right there. 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.840 Everything was starting to align, and as he tracked Gary Yarborough, 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.760 Wayne's wall of evidence canntinued to grow. 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.480 We found out he had a storage facility in court 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:10.560 a lane. So I got a surreptitious search warrant. It's 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.240 a search warrant that allows you to make a surreptitious entry, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:19.360 search the place and lead so nobody ever knows you searched. 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:23.879 It surreptitious or a secret. And I can tell you 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.600 that getting one of those is definitely not the norm 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.160 and harder to obtain. 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.399 I searched it and back in the corner I found 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.120 a silencer that would fit them back ten. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.440 The same weapon used to kill Denver talk radio host 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:40.160 Alan Berg. 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:45.159 I went up inside it. I initial it and dated 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.480 it where you'd never see it. I put it back 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:48.800 and backed out. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.760 It was also becoming clear that Yarborough was getting nervous. 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.320 As surveillances often work, At some point in time, he 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.120 must have got suspicious that were following him. He suddenly, 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.400 overnight moves out of this house that we've been watching, 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.240 and he shows up in a house next to the 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:13.560 National Forest boundary northwest of Standpoint. 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:19.560 The Forest Service confirmed the location. Suddenly things escalated. 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.760 An agent named Mike Johnston drives in there and he's 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.119 got two agents with him. What he's trying to do 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.639 is just get a look at the place. He drives 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.000 very close to the house and Gary Yarborough comes out 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.280 with a forty five and opens fire on him. 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:42.120 Luckily, no one was hit. Agents temporarily pulled back. They 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.280 returned later that night, but he had slipped away. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.760 Unbeknownst to us, Gary Yarborough was standing outside the house 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.879 when they came in on the raid, so he dived 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.840 into a ditch and made his way to a place 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:02.200 where he could call anywhere. Bob Matthews had him picked up. 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.159 And while we're doing the search in the house, Gary 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:06.800 has escaped. 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.159 But what he left behind was startling. 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.680 Inside his house, we find a shrine to Hitler's room 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.800 and it's got a huge Nazi flag on the wall, 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:25.280 and then it's got Nazi shoulder and signis and pictures 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.399 of Hitler on the walls, and then it's got the 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:29.840 mac tin on a table. 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.040 Remember, Matthews had ordered him to get rid of the gun, 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:39.040 but instead Yarborough held onto it as a trophy part 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:40.280 of his twisted shrine. 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.119 Well break, So we've got the weapon. We send it 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.080 off to the lab and they'll be able to compare 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:52.560 it against the bullets that were recovered from Alan Birch's body. 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.320 While Ween and his team were on the Order's trail, 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.000 it's leader, Bob Matthews was staying one step ahead. 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.880 Well, Yard Brool gets away, but we've got this valuable 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:08.760 piece of evidence and Matthews has been notified. Sol Matthews 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.400 says where it wore. 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:16.160 Matthew's called the counterfeiting house, which unbeknownst to him, had 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:17.840 already been compromised. 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:23.600 He calls and says abandon the residents immediately take the 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.680 printing press, take all the papers, everything, and get out 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:29.639 of there. So they run a U haul trailer and 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:31.680 they put the printing press in the trailer. They take 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.439 all the documents and everything, and they abandon the house. 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:38.639 But I got a team of agents watching the house, 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:43.000 and frankly, I want to start taking people down. 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.640 Wayne's superior didn't agree. 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:51.359 He wants to keep the surveillance and the covert activity going. 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.920 And I'm thinking it's a big mistake. We've got enough stuff. 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:59.239 It's time to start taking people down and interview it 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:00.760 and examine any evidence. 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:06.160 The higher ups stood firm, no takedown, not yet. 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.000 So our agents follow the U haul trailer with all 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:14.080 that stuff and they stop and they go into a 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:17.399 hotel to make some phone calls. While they're making a 0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.240 phone call in a lounge, two guys come in and 0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:24.320 sit down at a table relatively close to where they are. 0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:29.240 Before agents could move in, the men got nervous and left. 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.760 They walked out of the hotel, unhitched the U haul 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:38.040 and drove away. Wayne's men followed but eventually lost them. 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.640 The trailer they left behind was seized, and when agents 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.400 searched it, they found a gold mine. 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:47.600 We got a U haul with the printing press and 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:53.160 tons of information. That's very incriminating because this is their 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:54.720 headquarters office. 0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:59.760 It was evidence of the orders inner workings, but most 0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:04.000 of their members had disappeared, slipping from one safe house 0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:08.800 to another. But soon Wayne got his next unexpected break. 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.560 We find another phone call from a payphone. This phone 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:17.320 number is in Troy, Montana. By the time we get there, 0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:19.480 the house is abandoned. 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.400 But an unsettling sign was left behind. 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:28.320 There's a fire pit, and there's a cardboard fixture of 0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:31.840 a state trooper on a tree, and it's been all 0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:35.600 shot up. So I pick up all the brass on 0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.399 the ground. Then I go over and I dig some 0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:41.440 bullets out of the tree, and I send the bullets 0:24:41.440 --> 0:24:43.920 and the casings off the FBI headquarters. 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.960 As they sifted through the fire pit, Wayne and his 0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:53.000 team turned up more than just shellcasings. They uncovered another. 0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:56.560 Clue, partially burnt piece of paper. It's got an address 0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:00.520 on it, So we go to that address. Find out 0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:04.920 this is a guy that trains dogs and he identifies 0:25:05.320 --> 0:25:08.200 from a photograph. He picks out one of Bruce Carroll 0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.040 Peers and he says, they've got this big Rottwiler dog 0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:12.879 and he left it here for me to train it, 0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.280 and he gave me six thousand dollars and said he'd 0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.639 pick it up later. He said, well, do you have 0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:21.960 the six thousand? Yeah, I do, and so let me 0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:25.520 see it. He brings it to me. It's got wrappers 0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.280
