1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Hello, it's Richard mc lean smith here. We're Unexplained. Currently 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: on a break between seasons, we're taking a look back 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: at some of our favorite episodes. In the summer of 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, Maria and Derek Broadus were overjoyed when they 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: completed on their dream home, a one and a half 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: million dollar mansion in the affluent suburb of Westfield, New Jersey, 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: in the USA. The couple couldn't have been happier. But 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: then the letters started to arrive. Back in February twenty nineteen, 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: long before it became a hit Netflix show with a 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: questionable ending. This is Unexplained, Season four, Episode three, I 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: See You. We open on a pristine, tree lined avenue 12 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: of some affluent North American suburb as a paperboy cycles 13 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: merrily along, casually tossing papers towards the grand mansion houses 14 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: that line the street. The camera pans to the left, 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: centering on one such mansion, its perfectly manicured front lawn 16 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: and grand facade, offering up a vision of wealthy domestic perfection. 17 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: But as we move in closer beyond the facade, we 18 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: find a very different story. In an upstairs bathroom, a 19 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: bedraggled and hair suit. Henry Morrison, early forties and in 20 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: casual dress, stands at the sink, staring intensely into the mirror, 21 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: his face covered in blood. After removing a pressed and 22 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: clean suit from a pre prepared suitcase, he steps into 23 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: the shower and washes the blood from his face before 24 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: shaving his beard and trimming his hair. Moments later, he 25 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: stands once again in front of the mirror, the image 26 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: of a calm go getting professional. Soon, the smartly dressed Henry, 27 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: now with a briefcase in his hand, is walking down 28 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: the stairs past a blood stained wall covered in happy 29 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: family portraits of Henry with his wife and kids. Finally, 30 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: as he steps down into a large entry hall, stopping 31 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: calmly to write a knocked over chair, we see the 32 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: true horror within, ignored by Henry as he makes his 33 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: way to the front door. The floor of the living 34 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: room behind is littered with the blood and bodies of 35 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: those same wife and children. Paying no attention to the dead, 36 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: bloodied body of a young girl clutching a teddy bear 37 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: in the foreground. Henry lets himself out and closes the 38 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: door behind him. Outside, he breaks into a whistle and 39 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: collects the paper from the lawn, then steps into the 40 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: quiet of the street and disappears up the road. The 41 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: opening scene of Joseph Ruben's nineteen eighty seventh film The 42 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Stepfather is widely considered one of the most effective and 43 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: shocking in cinematic history. Sadly, it is also loosely based 44 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: on a true story. In nineteen seventy one, John List 45 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: was a well respected father of three and church going 46 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: resident in the town of Westfield in New Jersey, USA, 47 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: with a well paid job at Jersey City Bank and 48 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: a mansion on the hill to go with it. In 49 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: November of that year, however, unbeknownst to his family, Liszt 50 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: had been laid off and found himself heavily in debt 51 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: after surreptitiously skimming money from his elderly mother's credit card 52 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: to pay the bills. Liszt's reaction to his predicament, in 53 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: an all too common act perpetrated by men in similar positions, 54 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: was to murder his entire family rather than reveal to 55 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: them the truth of it all, believing the shame of 56 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: it would have been too much for them to bear. 57 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: After carefully lying the bodies down together, he made arrangements 58 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: to stop the milk and the mail, then packed a 59 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: bag and fled. Understandably for a small town like Westfield, 60 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: which prided itself on its reputation as one of the 61 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: safest towns in America, the shock of John List's crimes, 62 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: a violent reminder that all is never quite as it seems, 63 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: opened a chasm of horror that took many years to repair, 64 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: but as so often happens, no doubt, aided by the 65 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: old List family home being mysteriously burned down the following year, 66 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: the events were eventually expunged from the collective memory and 67 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: passed off as an aberration until it was as if 68 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: they had never happened at all, and before too long, 69 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: the illusion of pretty perfection was soon restored to the 70 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: small but cultured town. Forty years later, however, as the 71 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: summer of twenty fourteen approached, all that was about to change. 72 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to Unexplained and I'm Richard McLean Smith. Located 73 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: just twenty miles west of Manhattan, the leafy town of Westfield, 74 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: described by the New York Times as west small town 75 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: meets urban, was first established in seventeen twenty as a 76 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: small village enclave of the much larger Elizabethtown, first founded 77 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: by English settlers in sixteen sixty four. Today, Westfield, comprised 78 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: roughly of thirty thousand residents, is considered among the most 79 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: wealthy in all of the United States, with average household 80 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: income coming in at just under two hundred thousand dollars 81 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: per annum. Chances of becoming a victim of violent crime 82 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: in the town are listed by the website neighbourhood scout 83 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: dot com as being one in six thousand eighty seven, 84 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: compared say, to the town of Bessemer on the outskirts 85 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: of Birmingham, Alabama, which the site lists as being one 86 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: in thirty four, all of which made it the perfect 87 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: location for Derrick and Maria Broadus, who a few years 88 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: previously adjoined the increasing number of affluent young families relocating 89 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: to the town as they looked to escape the big 90 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: city for a quieter life. In two thousand fourteen, now 91 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: with three young children in tow, they were hoping to upsize, 92 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: and after months of searching, had finally found everything they 93 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: were looking for. Built in nineteen o five at almost 94 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: four thousand square feet of prime real estate, six five 95 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: seven Boulevard was located in a neighborhood described by local paper, 96 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: The Westfield Leader as one of the most beautiful in 97 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: all the town. With its grand colonnaded front porch and 98 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: imposing facade, and boasting six bedrooms and three and a 99 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: half bathrooms, it was every inch the dream home, and 100 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: on June second, two thousand fourteen, after a short bidding war, 101 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: it was all theirs sold for just over one point 102 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: three million dollars. Eager to move in and begin their 103 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: new life on Boulevard, the Broadesses immediately set about renovating 104 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: the property, employing construction workers to help. On June fifth, however, 105 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: Derrek Broadus was at the property alone, having decided to 106 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: carry out some light redecorating himself after work. It had 107 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: just gone ten p m. When Derreck finished up and 108 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: wandered out into the front porch and took a moment 109 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: in the warm summer air to enjoy the serenity of 110 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: his new surroundings. As he pictured himself waving neighborly helloes 111 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,239 Speaker 1: to pass his by, and his wife and kids welcoming 112 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: him home from work. There was just one last thing 113 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: to do before heading back to the old house. Reaching 114 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 1: into the mail box, he found the usual bits of 115 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: junk mail and some post for the previous owner, but 116 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: then also something else, Julia looking letter made out to 117 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: the new owner, with curiously no return address. Derek examined 118 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: the thick black lettering for a moment and then opened 119 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: the envelope. 120 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: The letter was dated June fourth, having been written before 121 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 2: the sale of the house had even been made public. 122 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: Dearest new neighbor at six five seven Boulevard, it began, 123 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: allow me to welcome you to the neighborhood. How did 124 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: you end up here? Did six five seven call to you? 125 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: With its force within? The house has been the subject 126 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 2: of my family for decades now, and as it approaches 127 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: its one hundredth and tenth birthday, I have been put 128 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming. 129 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: My grandfather watched the house in the nineteen twenties, and 130 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: my father in the nineteen sixties. It is now my time, 131 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 2: It continued, Do you know the history of the house? 132 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 2: Do you know what lies within the walls? Why are 133 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: you here? I will find out. I see already that 134 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 2: you have flooded it with contractors so that you can 135 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 2: destroy the house as it was supposed to be. You 136 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: don't want to make six five seven Boulevard unhappy. You 137 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 2: have children? I have seen them so far. I think 138 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: there are three that I have counted. Are the more 139 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: on the way. I asked the woods to bring me 140 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: young blood, and it looks like they listened. Was your 141 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: old house too small for the growing family? Or was 142 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 2: it greed to bring me your children? Once I know 143 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: their names, I will call to them and draw them 144 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: to me. Who am I? There are hundreds and hundreds 145 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: of cars that drive by the house each day. Maybe 146 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: I am in one. Look at all the windows you 147 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: can see from six five seven Boulevard. Maybe I am 148 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: in one. Look out any of the many windows and 149 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: six five seven Boulevard, at all the people who strolled 150 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: by each day. Maybe I am one of them. The 151 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: boulevard used to be these street to live on. You 152 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: made it if you lived on the boulevard. Welcome, my friends, Welcome, 153 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: Let the party begin, Signed the Watcher. Derek stood for 154 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: a moment in a complete state of shock. Then, remembering 155 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: where he was, looked toward the street, scanning hurriedly for 156 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: any sign of a figure lurking behind a tree or 157 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: a face at the window of the houses opposite. Seeing nothing, 158 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: he dashed straight back inside, locking the door behind him, 159 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: then switched off every light in the house before returning 160 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: to the window to check on the street as he 161 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 2: dialed nine to one one. The officer arriving soon after, 162 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 2: wondered aloud if Derek had any idea why anyone would 163 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: do such a thing. Did he have any enemies perhaps 164 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: that he was aware of. Derek couldn't think of anyone. 165 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: After suggesting that he moved any construction equipment inside lest 166 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: someone try to throw it through a window, the officer 167 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: could offer little else than to suggest that Derek remained 168 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: vigilant and to let them know if anything else occurred. 169 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: That night, as he made his way back to his family, 170 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: Derek went through all the possibilities as to what this 171 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: could be. A prank by kids, a disgruntled former owner, 172 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 2: or was it perhaps even neighbors who had missed out 173 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: on purchasing the place themselves. Though he hadn't wanted to 174 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: worry Maria, there would be no hiding this from her. 175 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: That night, the couple did their best to reassure themselves 176 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: that it wasn't anything to worry about, but couldn't help 177 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: being drawn to one line. In particular, they read it again. 178 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: I asked the Woods to bring me young blood, and 179 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: it looks like they listened. The Woods were the former 180 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: owners of the house. Was it possible that they were 181 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: already aware of this before they sold her? The couple 182 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: emailed John and Andrea Woods that night. The next morning, 183 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: Andrea replied though they had experienced nothing remotely like it 184 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: in the twenty three years they had lived at the property, 185 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: she claimed. They did, however, receive a similar letter a 186 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: week before they sold the house to the Broadesses. The letter, 187 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: also signed off by the watcher, had made it clear 188 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: that whoever it was, was well aware that a new 189 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: family would soon be moving in, and that the watcher 190 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 2: believed themselves to be the true owners of six five 191 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: seven Boulevard. Stunned and angered by the revelation, with the 192 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: sale having already gone through, there was little option but 193 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 2: to do what they could to find the culprit and 194 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: nip the whole thing in the bud. Later that day, 195 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: on Maria's insistence, Andrea and John Wood drove down from 196 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 2: their new home in Massachusetts to accompany her to the 197 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: Westfield Police Department. Detective Leonard Lugo, who was assigned to 198 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: the case, offered to do whatever he could to look 199 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: into it, but, just as the officer had explained the 200 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 2: previous night, in the meantime, with little elves to go on, 201 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: it was a case of doing their best to ignore 202 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: it and looking out for any other suspicious activity. Just 203 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: as Andrea had suggested in her earlier email, Lugo also 204 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: speculated that the culprit could well be one of their 205 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: new neighbors. Maria did her best not to seem too 206 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: awkward as she made small talk with the other guests, 207 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: whilst also keeping an eye on her three young children, 208 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: who were busy making the most of the spacious garden. 209 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: Under any normal circumstances, receiving an invitation to a neighbor's 210 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: barbecue would have been something to celebrate, a perfect reflection 211 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: of the general sense of benevolence they had first associated 212 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: with the area. Now, however, despite their host's obviously good intentions, 213 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: it had become little more than an elaborate line up, 214 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: as the Broadesses found themselves treating every one with suspicion. 215 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: It didn't help that the family was still to move 216 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: in to the property, but it was impossible to ignore 217 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 2: the sense conjured up by the anonymous letter that they 218 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: were still very much outsiders here, something which was especially 219 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: hard for Maria, who had grown up in the town 220 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: across the other side of the garden. Derrick was on 221 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: high alert when he soon found himself talking to John 222 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: Schmidt of two doors down from six five seven, who 223 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 2: inquired if Deryck had yet to have a chance to 224 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: meet the Langforts who lived in the property between them. 225 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: As revealed in an article written by Reeves Wiederman for 226 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: The New Yorker magazine, the house was occupied by ninety 227 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: year old family matriarch Peggy Langford, along with a number 228 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: of her children, who were all in their sixties, one 229 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: of whom Michael, was described by Schmidt as somewhat of 230 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 2: a reclusive character. The following day, after Derreck informed Detective 231 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 2: Lugo about his conversation with Schmidt, Michael Langford was brought 232 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: in for questioning. However, after denying all knowledge of the letters, 233 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 2: he was promptly released. Despite letting him go, Lugo informed 234 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: the Broadesses that they were unlikely to be receiving any 235 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 2: more letters. Though by no means conclusive, the detective's assessment 236 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 2: offered some relief, and as the days went by the 237 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 2: broadesses tried to focus their energy on completing renovations so 238 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: they could finally move in to their new home. And 239 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: so it was with a cautious optimism that Maria arrived 240 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 2: at the house on June nineteenth to check on the 241 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 2: progress of the works and to pick up any mail. 242 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: But as she pulled the jumble of letters from the mailbox, 243 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 2: Maria's heart sunk. This time addressed directly to a mister 244 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 2: and missus braddus, it read, welcome again to your new 245 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: home at six five seven Boulevard. The workers have been 246 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: busy and I have been watching you unload castles of 247 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: your personal belongings. The dumpster is a nice touch. Have 248 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: they found what is in the walls? Yet? In time? 249 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: Will I am pleased to know your names now? And 250 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: the names of the young Blood you have brought to me? 251 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: You certainly say their names often. Having claimed to have 252 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: seen one of the daughters using an easel on the 253 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 2: back porch, the watcher asked, is she the artist in 254 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: the family? It has been years and years since the 255 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 2: young Blood ruled the hallways of the house. Have you 256 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 2: found all of the secrets it holds? Yet? Will the 257 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 2: young Blood play in the basement or are they too 258 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: afraid to go down there alone? I would be very 259 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: afraid if I were them. It is far away from 260 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: the rest of the house. If you were upstairs, you 261 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 2: would never hear them scream. Who has the bedrooms facing 262 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: the street? I'll know as soon as you move in. 263 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: It will help me to know who is in which bedroom. 264 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: Then I can plan better. Who am I? I am 265 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: the Watcher and have been in control of six five 266 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 2: seven Boulevard for the better part of two decades. Now 267 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: the Woods family turned it over to you. It was 268 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 2: their time to move on and kindly sold it when 269 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: I asked them to. I passed by many times a day. 270 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: Six five seven Boulevard is my job, my life, my obsession, 271 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 2: and now you are too. Bradha's family, Welcome to the 272 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 2: product of your greed. Greed is what brought the past 273 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 2: three families to six five seven Boulevard, and now it 274 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 2: has brought you to me. Have a happy moving in day. 275 00:20:51,240 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: You know I will be watching. The following day, Derrick 276 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 2: and Maria led Detective Lugo through to the back porch 277 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: and pointed out the easel that was still set up there. 278 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: Lugo looked out to the garden beyond, searching for any 279 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: clear sight lines from the neighboring properties, since no one 280 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 2: could have seen their daughter painting from the street, either 281 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: the watcher lived directly next door or behind the house, 282 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 2: or they had walked up off the street and observed 283 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: her while hiding in the garden. Once again, however, Lugo 284 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 2: had nothing but circumstantial evidence to go on, and though 285 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: they had by then established that the letters were being 286 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 2: rooted through a northern New Jersey distribution center, there was 287 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: no way to pinpoint the culprit through the letters alone. 288 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: Frustrated by the police response, the Broadesses took matters into 289 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 2: their own hands. Webcams were installed and diagrams drawn up 290 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: outlining which of their neighbors could possibly have seen or 291 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 2: heard the various incidences referred to in the letters. Some nights, 292 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: Derrick would just sit alone in the house, surveying the 293 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: street for any sign of the enigmatic watcher. On July eighteenth, 294 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: a third letter arrived six five seven Boulevard is turning 295 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: on me. It is coming after me. I don't understand 296 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: why what spell did you cast on it? It used 297 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: to be my friend, and now it is my enemy. 298 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: I am in charge of six five seven Boulevard. It 299 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: is not in charge of me. I will be patient 300 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: and wait for this to pass and for you to 301 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 2: bring the young blood back to me. Six five seven 302 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 2: Boulevard needs young blood, It needs you back. Let the 303 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: young blood play again like I once did. Let the 304 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 2: young blood sleep in six five seven Boulevard. Stop changing 305 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: it and let it alone. It cries for the past 306 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 2: and what used to be in the time when I 307 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 2: roamed its halls. The nineteen sixties were a good time 308 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: for six five seven Boulevard, when I ran from room 309 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 2: to room, imagining the life with the rich occupants there. 310 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 2: The house was full of life and young blood. Then 311 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 2: it got old, and so did my father. But he 312 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 2: kept watching until the day he died. And now I 313 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 2: watch and wait for the day when the young blood 314 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: will be mine again. With the arrival of the third letter, 315 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 2: it was clear that the Watcher was not about to 316 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 2: go quietly, so the Broadesses decided it was time to 317 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: take their investigation to the next level. They began by 318 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: hiring a former FBI agent to analyze the letters. Though 319 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: such an approach is by no means concrete, their assessment 320 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: presented two intriguing notions, one that the writer was more 321 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 2: likely to be female or at least not aggressively masculine 322 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: due to the general inoffensiveness of the language, and the 323 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: other being that they were not merely a prankster, but 324 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 2: someone with a genuine sense of resentment toward the new owners. 325 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 2: A private detective was also hired, but proved ultimately ineffective, 326 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 2: and all the while, the couple found themselves in an 327 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: increasingly precarious position. Having already sold their current home, they 328 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: had to decide whether to bite the literary bullet and 329 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 2: move in to their new home or seek alternative accommodation. 330 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 2: In the end, being too afraid to risk their children's 331 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 2: safety and crippled by the pressure of keeping the truth 332 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: about the letters from their neighbours, they decided eventually to 333 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: forego the switch to six five seven and moved in 334 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: with Maria's parents instead. In early December, having run out 335 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: of leeds, Detective Lgo informed them that the police were 336 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 2: ending their investigation by the end of the year. Seeing 337 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 2: no other option, the couple made up their minds to 338 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 2: sell the house and be done with it all. In 339 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: February two thousand fifteen sixty five, seven Boulevard was put 340 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: back on the market for an asking price just short 341 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: of one point five million dollars, over one hundred thousand 342 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 2: more than the Broadesses had originally bought it, taking into 343 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 2: account the recent renovations. Having felt lied to in the 344 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: original sale, the couple also decided to be completely open 345 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: about the sinister letters to any prospective buyers. Only there 346 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: was one problem. Rumors about the letters had already begun 347 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: to circulate. Within three months, the couple had dropped the 348 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: asking price by a quarter of a million dollars, but 349 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 2: it was to no avail. In the end, there was 350 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: no need to disclose the letters because nobody made an 351 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: offer and the house was taken off the market. Having 352 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: continued to make mortgage payments, not to mention spending thousands 353 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 2: of pounds on property taxes for a house they didn't want, 354 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: the couple reached their last resort in June two thousand fifteen. 355 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 2: They filed a legal complaint against the former owners for 356 00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: failure to disclose their awareness of the watcher. Since all 357 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: such legal disputes become a matter of public record once 358 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 2: they are filed, it wasn't long before the extraordinary story 359 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: of the Westfield Watcher was picked up by the press 360 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: and soon after became international news as the Broadesses and 361 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 2: Woods prepared to battle it out in court. The sudden 362 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 2: spotlight on the picturesque town and the sinister goings on 363 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: concerning six five seven Boulevard left many residents feeling exposed 364 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 2: and the local police scrambling to explain why they hadn't 365 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: caught the suspect. Yet another, detective, Baron Chamberliss, was promptly 366 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 2: assigned to look into it again. When a DNA sample 367 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: taken from the envelopes was found to be from a female, 368 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: he turned his attention to Abbey Langford, the Broadess's neighbour 369 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: and sister of Michael Langford. One afternoon Joon, after instruction 370 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: from Detective Chamberlas, a security guard at the local department 371 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 2: store where Langford worked, waited for the perfect moment before 372 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: secretly confiscating a plastic water bottle she had been using. 373 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 2: The bottle was in turn tested for DNA, but the 374 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 2: result wasn't a match. The investigation was back to square one, 375 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 2: and soon another theory was beginning to emerge. For those 376 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 2: who aren't familiar with the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer, 377 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: directed by Laura Richardi and Moira de Moss, It details 378 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: the trial of two men whom many believe may have 379 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 2: been wrongfully convicted of murder. Watching as the story progressed 380 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: and the prosecution's case became increasingly problematic, what struck me 381 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: as particularly interesting, almost more than the possible injustice of 382 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: it all, was the forerocity with which many members of 383 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 2: the local community refused to accept that there was any 384 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: doubt to the guilty verdict. It is a strangely common reaction, 385 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: this compulsion for a community to come together and, in 386 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: the absence of any clear truth, commit to some kind 387 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: of closure, whatever the cost, be it by finding a 388 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: hapless scapegoat who best fits the profile, or by denying 389 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: that a crime was even committed in the first place. 390 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 2: It is almost as though the continuation of the illusion 391 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 2: that nothing bad could ever happen, or at the very least, 392 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: finding a way to neutralize that bad thing, is more 393 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 2: important than getting to the real truth of the crime, or, 394 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: in the case of making a murderer, for many in 395 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: the local community, having somebody locked up for the crime 396 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: and being able to move on from it appeared to 397 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 2: take precedence over whether the accused were innocent or not. 398 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: In the case of the Westfield Watcher, no doubt scarred 399 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: by the not two distant crimes of John List the 400 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: community prompted for the latter, Driven by concern for house 401 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: prices and local reputation, many began to wander aloud, a 402 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: view shared on social media and in homes throughout the 403 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 2: town if the Broadesses hadn't merely got out of depth 404 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 2: with their purchase and made the whole thing up to 405 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 2: cover themselves. After attempting to sell the house in twenty sixteen, 406 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: the Broadesses once again came up short. As a last resort, 407 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: they put in a bid with the local planning authority 408 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: to sell the property to a developer who would replace 409 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 2: it with two separate homes. The proposal was later defeated 410 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 2: at a town hall meeting when over one hundred local residents, 411 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: including Abby Langford, turned up to vote against it. By then, 412 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 2: Derreck and Maria had spent over one hundred thousand dollars 413 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 2: in taxes for the house with no compensation. Some relief arrived, however, 414 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 2: when soon after they finally succeeded in renting the place. 415 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 2: Out efforts continued meanwhile, to put the house back on 416 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 2: the market. Despite all the ensuing drama, it had been 417 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: almost two years since the Broadesses had received their last 418 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 2: letter from the Watcher. Perhaps their luck was beginning to 419 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 2: turn after all. Two weeks after the Renters moved in, 420 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: Derek arrived at the property to carry out some routine 421 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 2: maintenance work when they handed him a familiar looking letter. 422 00:31:54,840 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: It was dated February thirteenth, twenty seventeen. You wonder who 423 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: the Watcher is? Turn around, idiots. Maybe you even spoke 424 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: to me, one of the so called neighbors who has 425 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 2: no idea who the Watcher could be. Or maybe you 426 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: do know and are too scared to tell anyone. Good move. 427 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 2: I walked by the news trucks when they took over 428 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 2: my neighborhood and mocked me. I watched as you watched 429 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 2: from the dark house in an attempt to find me. 430 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: Telescopes and binoculars are wonderful inventions. Six five seven Boulevards 431 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: survived your attempted assault and stood strong with its army 432 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 2: of supporters barricading its gates. My soldiers of the boulevard 433 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 2: followed my orders to a t. 434 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: All hail. The Watcher. 435 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: As the letter continued, it was clear that revenge was 436 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 2: on their mind. Maybe a car accident, maybe a fire. 437 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: Maybe something as simple as a mild illness that never 438 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 2: seems to go away but makes you feel sick day 439 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: after day after day after day. Maybe the mysterious death 440 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 2: of a pet. Loved one suddenly die. Planes and cars 441 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: and bicycles crash, bones break, you are despised by the 442 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 2: house and the watcher one.
