WEBVTT - Studying Up

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>A group of high school student High school.

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Students Elizabethan High School students started a project to research.

0:00:07.480 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 3>A string of unsolved murders.

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Their research led to the identification of the killer. Investigators

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.760
<v Speaker 2>now have an answer to a thirty four year old question.

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Once you start getting a few tips, or a few

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>leads or.

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 4>Few identifications, then the cold case isn't so cold anymore.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>There's a pretty good chance he's still alive.

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 4>Everything that the students predicted through their profile turned out

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 4>to be accurate.

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 5>Redhead Killer profile mail Caucasian, five nine six, two hundred

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 5>and seventy pounds, unstable home, absent father, and a domineering mother,

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 5>right handed, IQ above one hundred, most likely heterosexual.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 4>There is no profile of this killer except for the

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 4>ones the students created.

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 6>Just because some of these women no longer have people

0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 6>to speak for them does not mean that they deserve

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:56.279
<v Speaker 6>to not.

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Be so anymore.

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 7>What if this guy's still alive? Like, what if becomes

0:00:59.120 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 7>after us?

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I consider you're gonna kill me?

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 4>He's a year.

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 2>This is Murder one oh one, Season one, episode nine,

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Studying Up. I'm Jeff Sheen, a television and podcast producer

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>at KAT Studios with Stephanielyidecker, Courtney Armstrong, and Andrew Arno.

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty, I came across a story about a

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>group of high school students who set out to investigate

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>a series of unsolved murders in their community. It was

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 2>an incredible story that here at KAT Studios we felt

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 2>needed to be explored further.

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 6>All Right, So this morning, me and Marley are just

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 6>sitting here in my car.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 7>It is seven fifty two, six fifty two.

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 6>It is six fifty two in the morning, and we're

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 6>just sitting here talking about different stuff. And we're about

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 6>to go in here and meet with mister Campbell, and

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 6>we're actually gonna get to present to a former FBI

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 6>behavior analysis, which is really cool, and talk about the case.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 7>So we're just really looking forward to that.

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of crazy because we went to a bunch

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 6>of football games together and thinking about Elizabeth Lamont, one

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 6>of the potential victims of Jerry Leon Johns. She actually

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 6>went missing from a football game, and we went to

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 6>numerous football games together and not really how to care

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 6>in the world, but it just happens as quickly as that.

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 6>So it's really crazy to think about the connection we

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 6>have with these girls because we are young females and

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 6>majority of these women were young women, and we're very

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 6>close with in age and lifestyle. Even you know, this

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 6>could be any of us or any of our friends,

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 6>and that is.

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 7>Really crazy to think about.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 6>So we really feel connected with this case, these cases,

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 6>and we really feel like these women deserve justice because

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 6>this could easily be.

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 7>One of us.

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and it's sometimes you don't really think about, like

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 8>when you're in the moment at the football game, you're

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 8>not really worried about stuff like that, and I'm sure

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 8>the women were either, But this happens and it takes

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 8>you off card.

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 9>Hello there, Hello.

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 10>Alex Campbell.

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 7>It's good to meet you.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for coming by.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Did your haircut get better since the last time I

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 2>saw you?

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 11>Maybe, I think.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 7>You said?

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And we have like the Captain's table, right.

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>The honored guests, Joey Strickler and Ryan Curtis introduced themselves.

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 7>I'm Joey Strickler.

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 9>I retired from Sulvan County Sheriff's Office two years ago

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 9>and I was the Captain Noble Criminal Investigations. My last

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 9>biggest case that I had over there was I'm sure

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 9>y'all have heard of at the Evelyn Boswell murder case.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 9>And just to tell a little bit my background as

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 9>far as in prepared me for what I did. I

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 9>have a bachelor's degree from Etssue Criminal Justice, and I

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 9>spent my whole career of thirty years, thirty plus years

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 9>at the Sheriff's office and done I guess a little

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 9>bit of everything that was over there, from patrolling to

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 9>criminal investigations to of course in the staff and command

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 9>end of it. But one thing about it that interested

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 9>me when the TBI actually called me to call you,

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 9>was that when they were telling me you were doing this.

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 9>I have worked on a couple of cold case homicides.

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 9>They only had two in Solvan County, and so I

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 9>worked those two cases, and I know the pitfalls and

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 9>the things that you ran into and the issues and

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 9>things like that. I can honestly say that I think

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 9>I know who's.

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Done both of them.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 9>Never be able to prove it but because of certain reasons.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 9>But anyway, that's that's basically where I came from. I

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 9>just the law enforcement background and with the Solvan County

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 9>Shriff's Office, and I was supporting great opportunities to go

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 9>to some really special high school. I've went to the

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 9>FBI National Academy, which is a ten weeks school in Quanticoe, Virginia,

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 9>and that's where I studied profiling and things like that.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 9>So that's just a little bit bit about me. One

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 9>of my cases that I really took heart to was

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 9>a nineteen eighty four murder. I was a high school

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 9>senior in nineteen eighty four. The thing that got me

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 9>about that is if things would have been done differently

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 9>in nineteen eighty four by the standards we have now,

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 9>that case we've been sought back then.

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>They got a big ball game tonight, don't you.

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a homes coat and y'all met them last time?

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 6>Was it close.

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.239
<v Speaker 7>Basketball season? Yes?

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So both of these girls playing basketball. They're both

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 4>really good. Also, great students find people. So, in case

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 4>I didn't mention it, we don't have this as a

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 4>class this year, So they do this work on their

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 4>own and we meet at seven am before cool, which

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 4>for a teenager coming an hour early, it is quite

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 4>a quite a any credit for that, So they don't

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 4>get any credit.

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 9>They just, uh, well, there's nothing better than taking from

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:11.559
<v Speaker 9>someone that's daddy.

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 7>There's nothing better.

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 9>Than working on homicides and coming to a conclusion.

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's beshing better than that.

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah yeah, I getting sad me just farn't something days.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.159
<v Speaker 7>Even if it's.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, if I was standing over here out of

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 4>your way and let y'all dig your think.

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 8>I'm a junior, I'm sixteen, and I played basketball. We

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 8>probably since we were in third grade. I wouldn't say

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 8>she probably is my best friends. Probably she is my

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 8>best friends. I've always kind of found an interest in

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 8>this stuff. I mean, my mom like watched stuff about

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 8>it together a lot. And it's kind of crazy because

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 8>all of you'll consider a sery cat like everything I do.

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 8>But I really really really enjoy like learning about this

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 8>kind of stud I was gonna like dive again and

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 8>how you want perspective.

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 7>On ake seconds. Yeah, well, we've been in Princeville for ever.

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 7>It's really funny because I've always been.

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 6>Kind of, like, I.

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 7>Guess, like the more outgoing of the two of us,

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 7>and I've always been interested in me just little weird things.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 6>And true crime has definitely been a big interest in

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 6>mine since I was in like sixth grade probably, and

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 6>I would always listen to True Crown podcasts like we'd

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 6>be warming up for a basketball game.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 7>I'd have a True Crown podcasts, so I know, but

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 7>it's like, are you okay.

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, yes, I'm I'm okay, and she would always

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 6>get like it's so annoyed me.

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 7>She's like turn, not off. Turn, and then one day

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 7>she's just like, no, keep playing. I'm like, I know so,

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 7>but that's something.

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 6>We've kind of buz been able to find a lot

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 6>of interest in the last few years.

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 11>Und yes that that's been like such a driver.

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 6>Yes, it's kind of yes, and it's really like it

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 6>it re leading to YouTube and you're just like, you

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 6>don't wanna listen to music anymore.

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 7>You just wanna listen to a True Ground podcast. It's relaxing.

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 7>I had to stop. I used to listen to them

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 7>to go to bend.

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 6>Stop.

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 7>I started getting terrors. I would wake up. They'd be

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 7>like a shadow of my room.

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 6>I got, yeah, I can't do this, but yeah, I'm

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 6>said he a junior also played basketball that takes up.

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 8>Really all of our time.

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 7>So it's basically school basketball. First. They're looking at them

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 7>not committed. Correct, Yes, clarify it.

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 6>So me and Morley have kind of been doing some

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 6>research this week between the known victims of Jerry Leon

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 6>Johns and potential victims. So I've been working on Tracy

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 6>Stu Walker, and Morley's been working on the DeSoto County

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 6>Jane Doe. Basically, what we've done is we just went

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 6>through and we've made a victim profile for his two

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 6>known victims, and then we're just kind of doing a

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 6>comparent contrast between Tracy Stu Walker and the Psoto County

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 6>Jane Doe. Lynn was the survivor of Jay Leon Johns

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 6>and Tina Farmer, who is a confirmed victim of Jay

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 6>Leon Johnson.

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's stop here for a break. We'll be back in

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a moment. Murder one on one, Riley and Marley walked

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 2>mister Strickler and mister Curtis through their profile and explained

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 2>why they believed Jerry Johns was the Bible Belt strangler.

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>None of them were buried or covered up.

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 4>All of them were just left on the side of

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 4>the road. And I found a mistake there that Linda,

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 4>that last one, I actually have no binding, but she

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.719
<v Speaker 4>was actually found I do know that, so I made

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 4>a small mistake there. Every one of them were found

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 4>off of a major interstate just right off except for

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 4>one and she was found about seven miles from an interstate,

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 4>but she was found seven miles from another victim that

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 4>was right on the interstate and matched everything else.

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>But she was just off of a road. But it

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 1>was a major interstate.

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 7>It was aside.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 4>But any any questions, other questions looking at the the

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 4>strangulation by ligature seems to be important and we're gonna.

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Look more at that.

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 7>So this is kind of where things take a turn.

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 6>Police protested items found from Tina Farmer murder and found

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 6>Jerry Johnes' body flutes on it. So Jay Lean Jones,

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 6>this is obviously the man that we think committed these murders.

0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 6>And Tina Farmer she was killed and they had not

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.439
<v Speaker 6>identified her killer until new DNA evidence, like you said,

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 6>had come out in twenty nineteen, and Johns had died

0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 6>in prison while serving time for the attemptive murder of Linda, which.

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 7>Was two months after Farmer was murdered.

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 6>So she was obviously his survived victim, the only survived

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 6>victim that we know of, and they were able to

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 6>arrest him because he stole her car. He thought he

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 6>had killed her. Dumpter and then stole her car, and

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 6>she happened to live. He was arrested on March six,

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 6>nineteen eighty five, for the attemptive murder of Linda. She

0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 6>was a redheaded exotic dancer and prostitute in Knoxville. Interesting

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 6>fact also, Jerry Leon John's trucking company was based out

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 6>right the right side of Knoxville, and it was actually

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 6>started illegally, and so we don't have a lot of

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 6>records from where where he was trucking, which can be

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 6>hard for determining was he in the area at this

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 6>time when this person was killed. All this stuff, but

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 6>all of his records his trucking company was very very legal.

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 6>So he bound and gagged her before taking her to

0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 6>the side of the interstate and choking her to what

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 6>he thought was death, and then he dumped her. She

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.079
<v Speaker 6>was able to gather herself got out on the interstate.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.960
<v Speaker 6>She was actually blind for three days after he had

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 6>choked her because he choked her so hard, and she

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 6>stumbled across the interstate naked, blind and was able to

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 6>be taken by the police and they were able to

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 6>find him via her car, but he saw her.

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 7>And then this is who Jerry Leon Jones is.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 6>He was born in Tennessee, but him and his family

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 6>moved around between Rockford, Illinois, East Tennessee in the Houston,

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 6>Texas area.

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 7>So obviously that's a.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 6>Lot of ground anyway, let alone being a trucker. He's

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 6>thirty seven years old at this time. He has trucking company.

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 6>It's called Rebel Trucking. Uh. He had a very extensive

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 6>criminal record since he was fifteen years old. Started out

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 6>his little stuff and obviously escalated. He was sentenced to.

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 7>Seventy four years for the kidnapping and attempted murder. This

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 7>is poor document's.

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 6>Treasure troph These documents showed the specific bindings and.

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 7>Ligatures that he used on her, and these help us

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 7>build a timeline for where he was, what he was

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 7>doing at the time. It provides us with TBI interview

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 7>notes which are.

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 6>Very very helpful, and we kind of get to see

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 6>what kind of person he was getting inside to his psyche.

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 6>And also, you know, when we're looking at different crimes,

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 6>we think trying to look for a trigger.

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:47.680
<v Speaker 7>Maybe.

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 6>So him and his wife were half sister, half sister,

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 6>and half brother and they got married. Obviously, people are

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 6>telling him, you know, you can't do this, like, if

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 6>you have a child, it's gonna be messed up. Even

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 6>though that tastes generations, people are, your child's gonna be

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 6>messed up if you have a kid. They end up

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 6>having a son, the son gets cancer at three years

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 6>old and ends up passing away, and everybody's telling Jerry,

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 6>you know this is your fault.

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 7>This is because you did this, because you got married

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 7>to your half sister, your child.

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 6>God, and obviously any grieving parent, this is not something

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 6>they want to hear in a mentally unstable man. It's

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.199
<v Speaker 6>untelling the kind of anger that he built up in

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 6>his resentment. And obviously he has an anger towards women

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 6>in these crumbs. And the relationship with his mother, as

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 6>I understand, was very very strange, different and his half sister,

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 6>his wife was red headed and his mother was.

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Also red headed.

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Said the marriage dissolved here or so after the death

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 4>of the child, she actually moved back to Illinois.

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>And when she left in nineteen eighty four, we get

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>six murders in about nine months.

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, where he's driving not just with no boss, but

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 10>now with nobody at home, and basically he and he

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 10>and his brother who's traveling around and a bunch of

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 10>dead women.

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.680
<v Speaker 4>Child exactly the same way where he's traveled for about

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 4>nine months.

0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 6>Three.

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.439
<v Speaker 12>One thing that normally when someone is strangled with a ligature,

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.959
<v Speaker 12>whether it's a rope, whether it's like that, appears to

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 12>be maybe a T shirt, the T shirt if you're

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 12>you're defendant here is right handed. They tend to tie

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 12>a knot in a right handed fashion, or a.

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 9>Left handed person will tie one in a left handed fashion.

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 9>So that's one thing to.

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 4>Look at him, and so he said he.

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Was right handed.

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Riley spoke about Tracy Sue Walker.

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 6>Tracy Sue Walker, she was the main victim that I

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 6>focused on. She was just identified in August of twenty

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 6>twenty two, very very recently, and she was dubbed baby

0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 6>Girl Jane Doe for until she was identified because she

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 6>was so young. They estimate shoes between fourteen to sixteen

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 6>whenever she was murdered, but they found out that she

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 6>was too so right on it. But she disappeared from

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 6>Typicadoo County, which is in Indiana, as she read there,

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 6>and her body was recovered in Campbell County, Tennessee, which

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 6>is almost nine hours away. So she disappeared from a mall.

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 6>She was last seen with a friend at Typicane County

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 6>mall and she was a kind of troubled child. Her

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 6>mom had reported her as running away tip twice uh

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 6>before that, so they thought that maybe she'd just run away.

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 6>Well not one hundred percent sure, but her body was

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 6>found nine hours away in Camble County. The most interesting

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 6>part another victim, Tina Farmer, who we know was killed

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 6>by Jerry Leon Johns when Disa disappeared from Indianapolis, Indiana,

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 6>which is.

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 7>About an hour from Typicanoe County.

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 6>But their bodies were found less than seven miles apart

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 6>in Campbell County.

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 7>So how did two girls disappear from about the same area.

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 6>Nine hours away and their bodies are recovered within miles

0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 6>of each other?

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 8>Early similar and they were all found on trucking roots

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 8>between his homes, his family homes, trucking hubs, all significant

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 8>areas that would be related back to him. And although

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 8>he spent many years in prison, all of the victims

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 8>were killed when he was not in custody.

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 11>I agree he's probably good for those two for sure,

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 11>just because of the location of the where they're missing from.

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 11>And then the location of where their bodies were found.

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 11>I would agree. So I mean you're headed in the

0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 11>right direction. I think your profiles of your victims are

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 11>well done. And I've always said you have to be

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 11>able to try to identify identify the victims and to

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 11>do a timeline on the victims first, which is what

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 11>you're doing that will lead you to your potential suspects

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 11>or subjects.

0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 8>So in summary, he puts himself at every secondary crime scene.

0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 8>But once again he didn't do it, but he was there.

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.080
<v Speaker 8>He was convicted onto the crumbs with direct evidence in

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 8>the DNA, and his timeline shows the only time that

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 8>he was not in jail is when the murders happened.

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 8>The murders that fit this m O and signature stop

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.399
<v Speaker 8>right after his arrest.

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 1>It's an incredible profile. Eight is this very gets that.

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 4>How confident would you be if you had all that

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.159
<v Speaker 4>information and you went to a grand jury, that you

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 4>could get a true.

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 7>Brand, this solid.

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm thoroughly impressed. Thank you, Thank you, guys.

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 7>I've done a great job.

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 1>To say the least. You know, although I was binding

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.679
<v Speaker 1>that there's a real good chance that they should be

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 1>able to.

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 12>Get some kind of touch DNA from that and nowadays

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 12>for sure.

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 7>Now any wonderful, great job, Thank you, thank you for listening.

0:17:51.320 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's stop here for another quick break murder one on one.

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 2>The following week, the club back back up.

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, good morning, ladies. How are y'all doing doing good?

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:12.200
<v Speaker 7>How are you?

0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:13.160
<v Speaker 8>Well?

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 1>It's early and I'm a little bit tired, but not

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>bad for a Monday. What'd y'all do this weekend?

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 8>I didn't really do very much on Saturday. Well, on

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 8>Sunday I went to church and restaur practice.

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Didn't you have a big ball game Friday night?

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:27.919
<v Speaker 8>Well, Friday didn't comes the weekend.

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, after three Friday counts, I had the ball game.

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 7>Go we won.

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's good. And then Riley, you might have had

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 1>something extra special on Friday.

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I won homecoming for the junior class, so that

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 6>was kind of cool.

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 7>I'm just glad I didn't fall or pass out. But yeah,

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:48.640
<v Speaker 7>I had a really busy weekend.

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 6>So that homecoming was on Friday, and then Saturday, me

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 6>and my mom went to a Covenant College in Georgia

0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.360
<v Speaker 6>for a recruitment visit to watch them play and talked

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 6>to their coaches and everything. So that was pretty cool.

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 6>And I took up pretty much the whole day Saturday,

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 6>and then yesterday I went to church and went to

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 6>basketball practice and then went back to church.

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.119
<v Speaker 7>It was a very impact views it was.

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:16.159
<v Speaker 4>And so we were presenting to a former assistant district

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:21.480
<v Speaker 4>attorney now a defense attorney and retired homicide detective, and

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 4>so I would just love to get your all kind

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 4>of thoughts and reflections on how.

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you think it went.

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.480
<v Speaker 8>I think it went really well. I was very nervous

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 8>going into it, I will say that, but it was

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 8>really cool. It was cool to get someone else's like

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.240
<v Speaker 8>perspective on all the work that we've been doing and

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 8>working so hard on because like it's just kind of

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.240
<v Speaker 8>us three sometimes and it's good to get like an

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 8>outside viewpoint on everything, like hoping that they'd like it

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 8>and think it was good work. And they did, so.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, and then uh, role, what about you?

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I have to agree with Marland, And I'm really

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.120
<v Speaker 6>nervous going in, but then to see like people who've

0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.399
<v Speaker 6>been there, done that and seeing a lot of different

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:04.120
<v Speaker 6>cases stuff to just validate what we've been seeing and

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:07.200
<v Speaker 6>what we've been where we've put our time and effort

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.160
<v Speaker 6>and energy and to see them kind of like pat

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 6>us on the back, which we don't do it for that, but.

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 7>It's really nice and really reassuring to have that. So

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 7>I really enjoyed it.

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't nervous going in because I know that you

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.320
<v Speaker 4>guys have done some stellar work, but I was curious

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 4>to see, Like you said, I'm a teacher, you're some students.

0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 4>What do professionals in the field really think about the work?

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>YEP, a homicide detective.

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 4>It's his job to gather evidence and put together evidence

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 4>for the DA and to see what he thought about

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 4>our evidence. And also I thought it was interesting to

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 4>hear from the former assistant district attorney about what he

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.679
<v Speaker 4>thought about the evidence, Could it actually go to a

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 4>grand jury?

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Was it sufficient? How we cover all the bases?

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.639
<v Speaker 4>And you guys remember anything about maybe some of the

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 4>stuff they'd said about the work you'd done.

0:20:55.560 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 8>I think that the former assistant district attorney said how

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 8>there had been cases in court that had won with

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 8>significantly less evidence than what we had.

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought that was pretty crazy, because I mean,

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.720
<v Speaker 3>like sometimes it can get discouraging because there is like

0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 3>little information. It's like, oh, we have this Jane do

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 3>we have no clue how she lives, Like it kind

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 3>of feel like we're grasping straws and stuff, but just

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 3>to see like the information we do have is so

0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 3>valid and could potentially pull up in court, and there's

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 3>trials that have been held with significantly less evidence. Like

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Morley said, that was really reassuring to the work that

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.520
<v Speaker 3>we've been doing and really just shows like we're doing

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 3>something that actually has substance, Like it's not just for

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 3>our own enjoyment or for our own passion that we have,

0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 3>like this could actually mean something to some jury or

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 3>some court. I thought it was just really reassuring, and

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 3>like Riley said, like everything we're doing has a purpose

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 3>and it shows that like this could really help somebody

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.960
<v Speaker 3>in I know that if it was like member or something.

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 3>And I saw these people doing that and these people

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 3>are saying this about their work, it made me feel

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:05.920
<v Speaker 3>like really good.

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so now we have a problem. It's a good problem,

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:11.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's a problem.

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:12.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 4>And we had the same problem five years ago when

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 4>the students did the work and they created the profile

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 4>and the profiler said this is excellent.

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't disagree with anything. Well, what goods a profile

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't get out to where people.

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 7>Can use it.

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, So that's why we decided to have

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the press conference.

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 4>Well, if we just let it stop here, then it

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 4>doesn't go forward to help anybody.

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.679
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to just give up on this or

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.159
<v Speaker 6>like think we've taken it as far as we can go,

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:40.560
<v Speaker 6>because these women still don't have justice, and there's still

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.920
<v Speaker 6>so many of them that aren't identified, and so many

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:47.600
<v Speaker 6>I think can be identified. So I'm really not sure

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 6>what the next step should be, but I definitely know

0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 6>that this isn't where we should end.

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 8>About you, Marlen, I still want to be able to

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:57.359
<v Speaker 8>like help the families and give them closer.

0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've been thinking about that too, and we did

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.159
<v Speaker 4>try to invite the TBI. Most of every one of

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 4>these cases just about has been taken over by the TBI.

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 1>If they were in the state of Tennessee, they have been.

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 4>There's a couple that are just outside of the state

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.240
<v Speaker 4>that have not been, And to be honest, I've had

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 4>very limited success in getting in contact with the people

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 4>who are responsible for those cases. So we invited the

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 4>TBI to come and listen to the presentation that you

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 4>did on Friday. However, they said that every single agent

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 4>they had was too busy and would be busy the

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 4>rest of the year.

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 1>And it's January, so and I understand they are busy.

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Crime ever sleeps right, yeah, gradways up, just no good.

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 4>But I think that my question for myself was if

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 4>detectives feel like this is good enough to go to

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:50.360
<v Speaker 4>the DA, and the DA feels like it's good enough

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 4>to go to a grand jury, and since the person

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 4>we feel that did this is dead and all you

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 4>can do is take it to a grand jury, get

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:02.199
<v Speaker 4>the true bill, and then consider the case closed, the

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:05.199
<v Speaker 4>question for me is why aren't DA's doing this or

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:08.600
<v Speaker 4>why aren't law enforcement agencies turning this over to the

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.680
<v Speaker 4>DA's so they can and go forward. And I think

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 4>the only people we have left to present to would

0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 4>be the media.

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And there's several reasons why.

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Number one, last time we got a body identified, excuse me,

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:25.680
<v Speaker 4>three bodies identified, and one of those cases was solved

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 4>within a year or two.

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>So maybe we'll get the same luck.

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Because when you put this out there, you're gonna get tips,

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna have people calling in, you're gonna have true

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 4>crime sluice, looking on the internet, looking at missing people, looking.

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 1>At the Desto County Jane do.

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.760
<v Speaker 4>And maybe we can get a few more identifications through

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:44.439
<v Speaker 4>the media because it will get picked up on the

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 4>media and it'll get.

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Out to people.

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 4>Number Two, maybe other people can ask different agencies what

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 4>they're doing with the cases. Sometimes they're just triaging cases.

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 4>The most important ones, ones that have a lead, the

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 4>newest ones, ones that parents are calling.

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>We work on those first. The ones that.

0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 4>Are forty years old and they're cold and we have

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 4>no information and nobody's calling.

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, it just has to be the last one

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we worked.

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 4>So what do y'all think about taking this to the

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 4>media and letting the media get the word out for us.

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 6>I think that's definitely a good idea, probably our next

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:20.879
<v Speaker 6>best step as far as furthering this and seeing what

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.120
<v Speaker 6>we can do, because other than that, I don't think

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:24.120
<v Speaker 6>that there's.

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 7>A better alternative.

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I agree. So I know how to call

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a press conference. I've done it before one time five

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 1>years ago, worked pretty well.

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:35.920
<v Speaker 4>What do you think about getting a hold of TV

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.640
<v Speaker 4>and news media from each of the areas where these

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.640
<v Speaker 4>women were found or went missing from?

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 1>We only know where two went missing from. We could

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:45.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe contact.

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:47.159
<v Speaker 4>That media and then tell them we're going to have

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:49.320
<v Speaker 4>it and then just let them show up.

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 1>The ones that can't make it, we can email them.

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 4>The last time, five years ago, one of the local

0:25:55.359 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 4>news agencies actually live streamed it.

0:25:57.520 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 7>Oh wow.

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.720
<v Speaker 4>So they could watch the live stream, they could get

0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:04.240
<v Speaker 4>a media kit of the information, and then they could

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:05.480
<v Speaker 4>do whatever they wanted with it.

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>So if they want to ask their local.

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 4>Law enforcement or their local DA's, or if they just

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 4>want to get the word out there and let people

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 4>in the public see it and go to work on

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.880
<v Speaker 4>it on their own time, then I think that would

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.200
<v Speaker 4>be maybe something we could do. I guess the big

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:22.879
<v Speaker 4>question is when do we want to schedule it? Homecoming

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:26.919
<v Speaker 4>queen and basketball games and college tours, the all busy people.

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 4>So let's think about a time we can do it,

0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 4>and then let's set it. Maybe give ourselves about two weeks.

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 4>I think what we need to do is go back

0:26:35.560 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 4>through the information see if we want to reformat anything,

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 4>because it's different presenting to the group.

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.640
<v Speaker 1>We present it till on Friday and the media group.

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Also, they probably need to put together a media

0:26:45.920 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 4>packet which we can have them sign up for when

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 4>they come in, and then we can email it to

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.240
<v Speaker 4>them after it's over. We could maybe have some hard

0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 4>copies available to them, maybe that to hear something. But

0:26:57.560 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 4>that'll give us a couple of weeks to do that work,

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 4>and of course give them some time to plan on

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 4>being here if they can be here.

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 1>No, feeling good, feeling good.

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:07.359
<v Speaker 7>I'm excited them.

0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Feeling good and excited. How many games you'll have left?

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 7>Oh gosh, we're are halfway through conference.

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 8>Play regular season games. There's probably five or six left, Okay,

0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 8>and then we have districts and regionals and all that.

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 7>Takes like a month, even though it's less games.

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, you're saying you're gonna go all the way,

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:29.639
<v Speaker 1>go a month into the planning. That's what I like.

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I like the positivity.

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 6>Hopefully this week we get bumped to third in the

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:35.719
<v Speaker 6>state because the team that was ranked ahead of us

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:36.320
<v Speaker 6>got beats.

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, exciting.

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:39.640
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's a little overwhelming.

0:27:40.040 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's right, y'all.

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 4>Just hang in there, though, it's going to get more

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 4>overwhelming when the world realizes.

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that the quality of the work you.

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 6>Guys have, this would be cool to it's it is

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 6>really cool seeing like the people are recognizing, like you said,

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 6>because a lot of times it's just been uice three

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 6>in here, you know, and then other people from the

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:02.520
<v Speaker 6>outside of like, wow, this is actually really good work.

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:04.920
<v Speaker 6>And I think people are really surprised too when it's

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 6>high school students. And yeah, it's just been rewarding to

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:12.640
<v Speaker 6>see what kint was. This was all for a purpose,

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:12.919
