1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: The following podcast contains explicit descriptions of violence, including sexual violence,

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: that some listeners may find upsetting. Continue at your own risk.

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: In the nineteen nineties, it seemed like serial killers were

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: really having a moment. For whatever reason, the public was

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: fascinated by them. We couldn't get enough think about it.

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: One of the most successful movies of nineteen ninety one

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: was Silence of the Lambs. It even went Best Picture

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: and pretty much everything else at the Oscars that year.

9
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: And then over the next few years we got inundated

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: with serial killer movies Jennifer Aids California and Natural Born Killers.

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Then in nineteen ninety five you had two big serial

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: killer movies in theaters at the same time, Copycat and Seven.

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Serial Killers were box office gold. The more sick and twisted,

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the better. And then there was Real Life inteen ninety four.

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: The same year, the Milwaukee cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer was beaten

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: to death in prison by another inmate. The notorious killer

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: clown John Wayne Gacy was put to death by lethal injection.

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: And then you had your active serial killers of the nineties,

19
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: like the Green River Killer and the I ninety five Killer.

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: In addition to our own personal hometown horror, the Domino

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: Beach Killer living in a serial killer's hunting ground. At

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: the time of all this serial killer fever was a

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: bit surreal.

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: See.

25
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: It was also a time when the Internet was just

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: starting to catch on in a big way, and we

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: were all getting exposed to what goes on in the

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: darkest corners of the darkest minds of our fellow men

29
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: and women, well mostly men. The early adopters of the Internet,

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: the first people to figure out how to build and

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: publicize these new things called websites, seemed to love two

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: things above all else, celebrities and serial killers. By the

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: fall of nineteen ninety five, as I was learning to

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: navigate this new and incredible resource, my research led me

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: to theories about the Domino Beach Killer from all over

36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: the country, all over the globe for that matter.

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: A lot of the.

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: People behind these theories wanted the killer to have some

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: kind of Hollywood gimmick, like the way Kevin Spacey was

40
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: using the Deadly Sins to make statements about his victims

41
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: in seven, or how the guy in Silence of the

42
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Lambs was trying to make himself a suit out of

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: human skin. The most common fantasy I found was that

44
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: the murders were part of some ritual intended to subvert

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: the apocalypse that was destined to befall our planet at

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: the dawn of the millennium. But that kind of thing

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: was everywhere you looked back in the nineties. It's true

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: the Domino Beach Killer had written about the imminent end

49
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: of the world in his second letter to me, but

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: I never got the feeling he was on some kind

51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: of a holy mission or whatever. As far as I

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: could tell, he had no adgea and no greater calling.

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: It was just a monster, a monster that I had

54
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: become convinced was the rich, privileged son of the most

55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: powerful man in town. I'm Courtney Barnes, and this is

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: the Murder Years, Episode six, Only Happy when it rains.

57
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: We the jury and the above and title action find

58
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the crime

59
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: of murder. November nineteen ninety five, one month after O. J.

60
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: Simpson was found not guilty by a jury of his

61
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: peers for the murders of his ex wife Nicole Brown

62
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: and her friend Ron Goldman, was when the Domino Beach

63
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Killer struck one final time. The victim was Trudy Masterson,

64
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: the twenty eight year old singer, songwriter and rising star

65
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: in the music world who was doing a week's worth

66
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: of performances at Triple B's, the most popular bar and

67
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: music venue in town. November wasn't normally a time of

68
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: year that attracted notable performers to Domino Beach, but Trudy

69
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: was just on the cusp of breaking out in a

70
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: big way. She had recorded an album that was due

71
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: to come out in March of ninety six, and had

72
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: been invited to take part in a big New Year's

73
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Eve show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles that featured

74
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of major nineties rock bands and folk singers.

75
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: She was amazingly talented. I saw her play myself three

76
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: nights before she died. But hold on, let's back up

77
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: a second last episode. I told you how I began

78
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: to suspect Connor Langford was the Domino Beach killer months earlier,

79
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: in late April nineteen ninety five.

80
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, Connor Langford was one of

81
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: the first people I looked at way back in fall

82
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: of ninety two.

83
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: That's Damon Stokes, retired Sheriff of Delsall County.

84
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 4: Some things about his original story just seemed a little

85
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 4: too coincidental to me. First of all, I found it strange,

86
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 4: with his history with a victim, that he and his

87
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: friend were the first ones to find Virick Hendrick's body.

88
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 4: He claimed he saw what he thought was some trash

89
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 4: over by the rocks, and that's why he came over

90
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: to investigate.

91
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 5: But far as I could tell.

92
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: You couldn't see her body until you got right up

93
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: on the rocks. And he said he spotted her from,

94
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 4: you know, maybe two hundred yards away. Now, it's true

95
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: that the body had been knocked around by the waves

96
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 4: a little before I got there, so it's possible he

97
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: saw something I didn't. But then when he told me

98
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: I knew her, and later when I found out that

99
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: he'd had sexual relations.

100
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: With her, I mean, I don't know. It just didn't

101
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: sit right.

102
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 4: But he did seem genuinely saddened by her death, and

103
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: maybe that's how he was able to convince me of

104
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: his innocence.

105
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 6: I don't know.

106
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure you never had any reason to question him.

107
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: In the nineteen ninety three death of Billy Boy Reeves.

108
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: But what about the ASU students in ninety four? Was

109
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: he ever questioned?

110
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 4: Well, sure, he'd been seen at those girl's house that week.

111
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: He even admitted to being there the night that they

112
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: were murdered. But you know, about two or three other

113
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 4: dozen people were there, you know, And Connor answered all

114
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 4: my questions.

115
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: To my satisfactions.

116
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 4: I didn't suspect him of those murders any more than

117
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: I suspected Stan Majors, who ended up taking the charges

118
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: for them posthumously.

119
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: As you say, you know, and Angela Bowers. You may

120
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: remember Angela Bowers from episode four, the only person to

121
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 1: ever escape from the Domino Beach Killer with her life.

122
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 4: I brought in just about every white male between the

123
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: ages of twenty one and thirty five I could get

124
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 4: my hands on to put in a lineup who would

125
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 4: say the words. Angela remembered him saying.

126
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: Scream and you die right here, and now yeah.

127
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: Those other ones.

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, she was not the greatest witness in the world.

129
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: I mean, she identified eight people before she admitted, I say,

130
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: realized she just couldn't remember what the guy sounded like.

131
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Was Connor Langford one of the men in those lineups?

132
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: No, I tried to bring him in, but his father

133
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: got him out of it.

134
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: In defense of the retired sheriff, Angela did tell me

135
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: when I was interviewing her the morning after her attack,

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: that she didn't think she'd be able to identify the

137
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: man who tried to abduct her. She never got a

138
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: good look at him, and all she could remember about

139
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: his voice was that he was disguising it. But what

140
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: if Connor Langford had been forced to go into the

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: sheriff station stand in a lineup with a bunch of

142
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: other guys his age, and read that line in a

143
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: gravelly voice like everyone else Sheriff's Stokes brought in. Would

144
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: that little light bulb have gone off for her? Would

145
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Angela have been able to identify him? Would one Fsice

146
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: and Trudy Masterson still be alive? We'll never know. It's

147
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: easy to blame Sheriff Stokes for missing what he missed,

148
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: especially with the benefit of hindsight, But I'm equally to blame.

149
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: My own investigation into Connor Langford wasn't exactly turning up

150
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: any new evidence. In fact, all I had was my

151
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: gut telling me it was him, and after a few

152
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: months I was starting to doubt myself. I didn't dare

153
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: share my thoughts with anyone, not Sheriff Stokes and certainly

154
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: not my editor or anyone else at the Soochul Journal.

155
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: If it had gotten back to Counselman Langford that I

156
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: was investigating his son for multiple homicides, it would have

157
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: been very difficult for me to continue living and working

158
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: in Domino Beach. So much to my regret, I kept

159
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: my mouth shut, and my cowardice may have cost Trudy

160
00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: masters in her life.

161
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 6: I saw her last show, you know.

162
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Speak of the Devil. That's Connor Langford himself, the man who,

163
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: in November nineteen ninety five, at the time of Trudy

164
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: Masterson's death, I believe to be the Domino Beach killer.

165
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 6: I was working as.

166
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 7: A bar back in Triple B's, you know, washing glasses,

167
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 7: changing out the kegs.

168
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: Big change for you. Back in April of that year.

169
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: You were performing at Triple B's with your band.

170
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 6: That wasn't my band. My band died months before that.

171
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 7: Those guys just thought I'd help pull in some extra

172
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 7: bodies to hear them play. But I guess I turned

173
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 7: out to be more trouble than I was worth. They

174
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 7: kicked me out of the band in early July. Can

175
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 7: you believe that what a pain I must have been

176
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 7: if they were willing to lose their singer and guitarists

177
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 7: at the peak of the summer tourist season.

178
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: Although tourism was down that year, well, the.

179
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 7: Peak is still the peak, even if it's not as

180
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 7: high as it used to be.

181
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: What made you want to get a job as a

182
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 2: bar back?

183
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 6: I was fucking broke.

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 7: I was still crashing at my parents' poolhouse, but my

185
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 7: dad had frozen me out. I could get my mom

186
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 7: to slide me a little cash every now and then,

187
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 7: but that all went towards weed and.

188
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: H strange to witness. Honor Langford had been everyone's favorite

189
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: surfer dude in Domino Beach for years, but in late

190
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five he was already washed up, and he

191
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: wasn't even thirty years old.

192
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 7: I'd sold almost everything I owned for drug money by

193
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 7: that point, even my guitar. The only thing I held

194
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 7: on to was my surfboard, and I don't even know why.

195
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 7: I never surfed anymore. I never did anything. They gave

196
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 7: me that job at Triple Bee's out of pity, you know,

197
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 7: I had never had a job in my life before

198
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 7: that fucking pathetic man Christ would a goddamn mess I was,

199
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 7: I guess I don't blame you for believing I was

200
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 7: some piece of shit serial killer like Ted Bundy or whoever,

201
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 7: although those guys usually have a pretty serious sense of

202
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 7: self importance, right, and I think it should have been

203
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 7: obvious to anyone that I lacked any kind of ambition.

204
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: So can we get back to Trudy's final show?

205
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, sorry.

206
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 7: He was quiet that night, even quieter than usual. I mean,

207
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 7: the bar was practically empty. They didn't really need me there,

208
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 7: but then again, they never needed me. Trudy was up

209
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 7: on stage with her acoustic guitar. You know, she was

210
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 7: way better than I could have ever hoped to be.

211
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 7: She was a real musician. I was just playing at it.

212
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 6: She just had a.

213
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 7: Presence, you know, just her and her guitar, and somehow

214
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 7: it felt more full and complete than.

215
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 6: Like a five man band. She had a soulful voice,

216
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 6: kind of husky, full of emotion.

217
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: Sounds like you were jealous of her.

218
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 6: God damn right, I was jealous of her.

219
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 7: But I can't even imagine who would want to take

220
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 7: someone like her away from the world. She was gonna

221
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 7: be a star. So at the end of the night

222
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 7: she started playing a few popular songs, but not like

223
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 7: the ones I.

224
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 6: Played in that cover band I was in.

225
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 7: We were trying to sound just like whoever you know,

226
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 7: Nirvana up Pearl Jammed the Chili's.

227
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 6: We were trying to replicate their sound. Not Trudy.

228
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 7: She took a song and she made it her own

229
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 7: and it was usually better than the original. Fucking amazing

230
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 7: how she could do that. The final song she did

231
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 7: that night, well ever, I guess, was this slow down

232
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 7: acoustic version of Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage.

233
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 6: Remember that one?

234
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: I remember it?

235
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 7: Good song I'm too bad? You never heard it played

236
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 7: by Trudy Masterson. It was fucking haunting.

237
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: So here's what happened after Trudy wrapped up her final show.

238
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: According to Jeffrey Franklin, the owner of the Triple B's,

239
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: Prudy Masterson finished her set just after eleven pm on Thursday,

240
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 4: November sixteenth, nineteen ninety five.

241
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 6: Jeff tried hitting on her every night, even though she

242
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 6: made it crystal clear she was playing for a different team, you.

243
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: Know, So you're saying she was gay, How did you know?

244
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 6: It wasn't like it was a secret.

245
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 7: I mean, I talked to her a few times, and

246
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 7: it's not like she ever told me. But she could

247
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 7: have given a shit about me or any other guy

248
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 7: in the bar. But if there was a cute girl there,

249
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: Judy was eyeing her and smiling at her through her

250
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 7: whole set. But Jeff must have missed that, because whenever

251
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 7: she got to the bar, or right before she left,

252
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 7: he'd find some reason to go over and talk to

253
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 7: her and try to flirt.

254
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 6: You know.

255
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 7: That night he was asking her if she mightded playing

256
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 7: more covers, you know, because tomorrow's Friday and there'll be

257
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 7: more customers and people like music they already know. And

258
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 7: like I said, that garbage cover she did with some

259
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 7: fucking next level shit. So while I was cleaning up

260
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 7: behind the bar, I watched her and Jeff talk for

261
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 7: a while, and she's smiling and nod along, but it's

262
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 7: so obvious she just wants to get out of there

263
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 7: and go back to her motel. She couldn't pack her

264
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 7: guitar away fast enough. She was out the door by

265
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 7: eleven twenty eleven thirty latest.

266
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: Mister Franklin said that within minutes of Trudy masters and

267
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: leaving the bar, he told Connor Langford to clock out.

268
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd broken a couple of glasses and he got mad,

269
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 7: told me to go home and sleep it off.

270
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: You were high.

271
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 7: I don't even remember. I was always either high or

272
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 7: chones in back then. I just don't remember which I

273
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 7: was that night.

274
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: Franklin said he didn't think Connor was on anything that night.

275
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: He said he seemed Connor high many times, but that

276
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: night he was stone cold, sober. He left the bar

277
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: no more than fifteen minutes.

278
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: After Trudy, So maybe he broke the glasses on purpose,

279
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: like he was trying to get sent home.

280
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 5: Oh that's what I believe you.

281
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: It was four blocks to the motel where Trudy was staying,

282
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: and she walked to it every night after she played

283
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: at Triple B's, but she didn't make it there that night.

284
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: It was the same time of year as the attack

285
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: on Angela Bauers in nineteen ninety four, and I know

286
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: Miss Masterson had been told it wasn't the best idea

287
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: to walk along late at night.

288
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 5: But that was the thing about Domino Beach.

289
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: It was clean, the streets were well lit, you hear

290
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: the sound of the waves in the distance.

291
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: It felt perfectly safe.

292
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: Did anyone see Trudy after she left Triple Be's.

293
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: Nope, no one saw, you know, no, no one. I

294
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: talked too, Sar. We don't know if she tried to

295
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: go straight to the motel, or if she tried to

296
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 4: go for a walk on the beach or the boardwalk

297
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 4: or what. But we just don't know what time she

298
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: was abducted or from exactly where.

299
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: What we do know is when her body was found

300
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: at roughly three point thirty am on the morning of

301
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: November seventeenth. Trudy was found in a small park that

302
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: ran along the beach on the north end of the city.

303
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: It's really not much of a park. It's a strip

304
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: of grass, a few benches and palm trees, and it's

305
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: right next to the main road that separates the beach

306
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: from the downtown area a little further south. She had

307
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: been raped, beaten, and strangled to death, just like Vera

308
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: Kendrick in nineteen ninety two. Whether the killer intended to

309
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: spray paint some song lyrics near the body, like he

310
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: had done with Vera and Billy Boy Reeves, or whether

311
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: he wanted to leave some music playing, like he had

312
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: with Mary Crouch, Sandra Gerard, and Hally Blake. Will never

313
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: know because this murder had something none of the others had.

314
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: A witness.

315
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: Henrietta Jones had lived in Domino Beach for at least

316
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: ten years. She's always been homeless, at least as long

317
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 4: as I've known her, and she was in Domino Beach

318
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: before me.

319
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: Did you know Henrietta?

320
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, pretty well, God rest her soul.

321
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say we always got along, but you know

322
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 4: she never gave me any trouble either.

323
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 5: Did you know her? I mean, you know before this.

324
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: I know, not really. I kind of remember giving her

325
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: change a couple of times.

326
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 5: But you should have gotten to know her.

327
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 4: She might have been homeless, but she was sharp as

328
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: attack and she had eyes everywhere apparently, so you know

329
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: she might have been useful to you as a source.

330
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, this wasn't the first time she'd

331
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 5: been useful to me.

332
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: I was still really young back then.

333
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,719
Speaker 1: I was probably scared of her, but you're right, as

334
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: a journalist I should have been more open minded about

335
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: the help she could offer.

336
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 4: Well, like you said, you were young, you know you

337
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: were trying to do it all yourself.

338
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 3: I'm not disagreeing with you anyway.

339
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, Well it got cool in November, so Henrietta

340
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: would set up a camp in the park, you know,

341
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: where the wind wasn't so bad. And Henriette was real

342
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 4: good at playing the game. She knew we'd have to

343
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 4: run her off if she was too visible, so she

344
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: always tucked herself away behind some bushes or trees or

345
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: whatever was around. And as long as she was making

346
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 4: an effort to stay out of sight, you know, out

347
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 4: of side of the tourists, we mostly let her be.

348
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: Somewhat ironically, Henry Edta Jones had been something of a

349
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: mother figure to the Killer's first victim, Vera Hendrick.

350
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: She had given Vera the lay of the.

351
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: Land, todd her where the best panhandling spots were and

352
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: the best times to be there, you know that sort

353
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: of thing. She was a friend to the Killer's first victim,

354
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: and she would help make sure Trudy Masterson was the last.

355
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 4: According to Henrietta's statement, she heard a car pull up

356
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: and stop at the curb right by the park, and

357
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: someone in her situation knows that when you hear something

358
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: that late at night, it's best to check and make

359
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 4: sure that it's not a threat.

360
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 5: So that's what she did.

361
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: And she had set herself up near a little island

362
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: of palm trees and would have been hard to see

363
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 4: from the road, you know. So she looks out with

364
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 4: this little makeshift tent and she sees a light colored

365
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 4: band sitting on the curb by the park. She sees

366
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: a man, although she says she can't identify her. He's

367
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: wearing a hoodie something like that. But she sees him

368
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: open up the back doors of the van and pull

369
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: out a naked body, a naked body of Trudy Masterson.

370
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: She knew it was a body right away, Oh, she

371
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: said she did.

372
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 4: I mean, she didn't know the woman's name, but she

373
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: said she knew it was a dead person. He got

374
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 4: Trudy out of the van, grabbed her ankles, and dragged

375
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 4: her into the grass. Well, I guess it got a

376
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 4: little too close to Henrietta for comfort, because that's when

377
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 4: she hit.

378
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 5: Her air horn.

379
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 3: Her air horn or air horn.

380
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

381
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, she'd been homeless for a

382
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: while and she knew how to take care of herself.

383
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 4: She had this nasty, rusty old knife of worse came

384
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 4: to worse, but I never knew where to use it.

385
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 5: That airhorn, though I'd heard.

386
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 4: It myself multiple times if someone tried to rob her,

387
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 4: or she saw someone she didn't like, that thing was

388
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 4: so loud it would split the night wide open. And

389
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: that's what happened.

390
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 3: What did the killer do?

391
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: She said, He froze, you know, for about a second,

392
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: looked back, saw her, and did she see him his face, No,

393
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 4: But she did hit the airhorn again, and he ran

394
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 4: for his van and peeled off without even bothering to

395
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: close the back doors. When she was sure he was gone,

396
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: Henrietta went to Trudy's body, confirmed or dead, and then

397
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 4: went to the nearest payphone called nine one one.

398
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: Henrietta Jones may not have gotten a good look at

399
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: the killer, but at this point she was only the

400
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: second person to lay eyes on him at all and

401
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: lived to tell the tale, the first being Angela Bowers

402
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: almost exactly one year earlier. When Angela was attacked, she

403
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: was forced into the back seat of her own car,

404
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: but Henrietta saw the killer driving his own vehicle. A

405
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: light colored van could be white, could be pale blue,

406
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: or yellow, even beige she wasn't sure, but it was

407
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: the best clue police had gotten yet.

408
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 4: Prudy Masterson's offtopsy showed traces.

409
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: Of rohypnal, the date rate drug Rufie's exactly.

410
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 6: You know.

411
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: It had been gaining popularity in the US since the

412
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 4: early nineties, but most people weren't too aware of it,

413
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: I mean, not aware to be on the lookout. Anyway,

414
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: we suspect someone approached her while she was walking back

415
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 4: to the motel, since all the bars were closed at

416
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 4: eleven during the off season. Maybe this person convinced her

417
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: to go have a drink on the beach, watch.

418
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 5: The waves, you know.

419
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: So it might have been someone she knew.

420
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 4: Might have been, but remember she was a musician and

421
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: she didn't exactly live a risk free lifestyle. Could have

422
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 4: been that whoever approached or just charmed her.

423
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: However it happened. He somehow slipped her a roofie.

424
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 4: Right, and it doesn't take long to start feeling the effects.

425
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 4: And she was raped, yeah, and strangled, and she was

426
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 4: too out of it to fight back. So again, no

427
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: defense wounds, no skin, hair or blood under the fingernails,

428
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 4: nothing like that. And when he was done, tried to

429
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 4: get rid of the body. We were working off the

430
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: theory that the rape and murder occurred inside the van.

431
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: Henrietta saw Pirah.

432
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: Kendrick, Juan Costas, and the other three ASU students were

433
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 4: all found where they were killed. Only the bodies of

434
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 4: Billy Boy Reeves and now Trudy Masterson were transported and

435
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 4: disposed of somewhere else.

436
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: So you really wanted to find that van.

437
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: We wanted to, and we did.

438
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: The van was found the next day, roughly eighty miles

439
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 1: north of Los Angeles on the Pacific Coast Highway. It

440
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: had been driven off the road into a deep ditch,

441
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: only partially hidden by branches and leaves. Some of Trudy

442
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: Masterson's hair and blood was found in the back.

443
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 4: That was the day that changed everything, November eighteenth, nineteen

444
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 4: ninety five.

445
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: Why did everything change that day.

446
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: Because the day we got our first real suspect in

447
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: the case. The van we found was registered to Connor Langford.

448
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: It had finally happened. I started suspecting Connor Langford five

449
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: months earlier. I never voiced my suspicions to anyone. I

450
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking. It's really easy for me to

451
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: say I knew it was Connor all Along now thirty

452
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: years later, But you're wrong.

453
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: It's not easy. I didn't want to.

454
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: Risk my job by voicing my suspicions about Connor and

455
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: then having his father the counselmansue me and the paper

456
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: into oblivion. And sure that might have happened if I'd

457
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: have been vocal. You know what else might have happened.

458
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: Trudy Masterson might still be alive. Yeah, I understand how

459
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: it looked again, Connor Langford.

460
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 7: I know why everyone believes I'm guilty. I know why

461
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 7: almost everyone I cared about turn their backs on me.

462
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying.

463
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 7: I didn't deserve the universe to throw some shit in

464
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 7: my way. I was a fuck up, sure, but I'm

465
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 7: no killer. I'm saying it now and I said it

466
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 7: back then. I'm an innocent man.
