Listener 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: discretion is advised. Previously on Algorithm. Four years after Thomas 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: Hargrove had tried to warrant Gary, Indiana that they might 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: have a serial killer, the police one town over in Hammond, Indiana, 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: arrested Darren Vaughan. How many people are you responsible for killing? 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: But it is a lifetime. How couldn't even two? Vond 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: led investigators to six bodies? And while the m O 11 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: matched one of the patterns, Hardroup had identified young women 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: who had been strangled and left in abandoned buildings, none 13 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: of these victims were on Hargrove's list. They were all 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: more recent murders that have been committed after Hargrove sent 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: the letter to Gary. But in a press conference, police 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: mentioned that On had confessed to murders going back twenty years, 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: and the Hammond mayor wrote, he'd confessed to a couple 18 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: of murders into and they told Hammond police that he 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: had been active going back to the mid nineties, and 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: I would take him at his word. So it was 21 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: Vond responsible for the killings that Hargrove's algorithm had picked 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: up on. Where was something else going on? This episode 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: we explore what Bond was doing back in the nineties 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: from I Heeart Media and Tenderfoot TV. This is algorithm. 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: I'm ben Key brick. Hard Grove's algorithm had identified fifteen 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: homicides between and two thousand seven. The first step in 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: figuring out if Vaughn was responsible for these murders were 28 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 1: other cold cases is figuring out where he was living 29 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: and what he was doing during that period. Von told 30 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: detectives that in the early eighties he was recruited into 31 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: a gang, the Gangster Disciples, by an older boy named 32 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: Big or Big Mike. The Bond's brother, Reginald didn't buy 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: this story. Ok, his friend Big Mike, he likes to 34 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: talk about talk about him and Big Mike grew up 35 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: in homes together him, Big Wings. He remember him, Big Mike, 36 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: Big Bad. But nobody and my family knows Big Mike. 37 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: Nobody's ever seen Big Mike. You know what I'm saying is, 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: come on now, it's not plausible. Big Money is a 39 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: fictional character as far as I'm concerned. Well, the last 40 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: thing he said I was with Big Mike. He just 41 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: like we get to talk about the old days and 42 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: stuff like that.

I could have been a 47 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: key opinion, isn't that? You know? Fred? You know what 48 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: I'm saying.

Sasonlin decides say, hey, man, 82 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: but as far as I could call him, and he 83 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: was the nerdy kid who wanted to be bad, like 84 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: he'd come home watch cartoons and danced movies and swearing 85 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: in the hard board. You know what I'm saying it 86 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: to me, It don't ain't no sense, you know. But 87 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: you brought up a good point though, like I ain't 88 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 1: picked this ship was possible. But I really don't think 89 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: Big Mike is a real person. When you started to 90 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: talking about Big Mike, you said, fuck it, here he 91 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: goes Big Mike. Why did the team Mike? That was 92 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: a lot of for years to let out. I mean, 93 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: kind of this life, I honestly don't believe it's this 94 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: dude is really okay, And it's borderline crazy to have 95 00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: flashbacks of somebody who I ain't real okay. I I 96 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: don't see how include brother some of these these stories 97 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: of Grids him Hill. We still have keys and stuff 98 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: like that. And I've never seen more brother with more money, 99 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: you know than the average person. Von's lawyers also had 100 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: their doubts about some of Von's stories. Here's Goyko Cossage. 101 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: All of us, I think, at some point in time, 102 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: thought that Darren would tell us some things that were 103 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: either puffing or maybe just going ahead and obfuscating things, 104 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: because I mean, let's face it, the guy was charged 105 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: with multiple death pediment accounts and to expect a full 106 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: honest answer um. But he was in denial on some things. 107 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: We found some people who were at Thelmbal Marshall with him, 108 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: a couple of white brothers, and Darren would tell us 109 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: that he was not being bothered at Tholba Marshal because 110 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: he was physically stronger than the other people that were 111 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Themba Marshall and they looked at us like we were. 112 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: They said he was the smallest kid there. He was tiny. 113 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: We had to pretended him. He was always getting picked 114 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: on and pushed around by the others, and and Darren 115 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: swears that didn't happen so in his mind, be it 116 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: from the organic injury or something he had convinced himself, 117 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: there were episodes in Darren's life that he remembered completely 118 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: different than what we had incredible evidence for happening in 119 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: another fashion. It's hard to know what to make of 120 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: all of this. It's clear that Vaughan isn't always a 121 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: reliable narrator of his own life, and many of his 122 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: stories sound crazy, but also many of the things that 123 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: he did do, like strangling seven women over the course 124 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: of a year, might have sounded made up as well. 125 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: This is a point in the story where I'd like 126 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: to reach out to you, to our listeners, I'd really 127 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: like to get in touch with someone who went to 128 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the Thelma Marshall Home at the same time as Von, 129 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: where anyone who knew him or this big year, big 130 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: mic guy, please call and leave us a voicemail. You 131 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: can get the number in the show notes or at 132 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: the end of the episode, and maybe you can give 133 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: us the in road we need to help figure out 134 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: how much Von's story we can trust, regardless of whether 135 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: Big E was real or just a figment of Vaughn's imagination. 136 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: Vaughn was soon drawn away from Gary at sixteen. He 137 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: was reunited with his mom and your mother picked you 138 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: up getting back to Okay. Von's mother was now almost 139 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: thirty and she was living with a new partner and 140 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: two young children. Reginald Von's half brother, who you heard 141 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: from earlier, was just three at the time, and Regina 142 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: von step sister was just six. For Vaughan, it was 143 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: a big adjustment. I don't know about the family, and 144 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: soon after Vaughan rejoined his mother, the family moved to Lima, 145 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: a small rust belt city in northwest Ohio day where 146 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: I was coat shocked. They have no game at that time. 147 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Lima might not have had gangs, but Bond's life was turbulent. 148 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: Even though his mother was older and more mature, she 149 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: still had issues. She suffered from schizophrenia and struggled with 150 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: addiction to hard drugs, and Vaughan was often running away 151 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: from home. Sometimes he hitchhike the two d miles back 152 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: to Gary. I ran away, called a truck while part away. 153 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: It came on my rapple out and they wore booking 154 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: for me in Ohio. Your grandpa keep you there And 155 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: now he called don't right. It's like, just come get him. 156 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: Don't mess one, because you know you're gonna get around. 157 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 1: Von stepsister. Regina was young enough that she didn't know 158 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: everything that was going on, but she told police Vawn's 159 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: mother was physically abusive. It was definitely, um abuseless. I 160 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: know she was abuseless. I know she was. We share Sidney, 161 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: and I know bought back. She was abusive to that 162 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: Sidney from a man she loves that's taking care of 163 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: that shot. I can only imagine what she had no 164 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: problem to all of a sudden at Dan taken Carol. Now, 165 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: when you say abusive, like verbally, abusive physically, I don't 166 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: recall all the different, but I know she will, right. 167 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: I mean, that's why we're asking, because you know it's 168 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: important for us, and also know where he's coming from, 169 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: because that might actually help us, you know, to find 170 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: a lot more things out about him. So um, so 171 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: she was definitely abuse to ze. Regina says that when 172 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: she got older, family members told her that when Vaughan's 173 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: mom got really mad, she'd make Vaughn cover his skin 174 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: with alcohol, presumably so that his wounds would sting as 175 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: she beat him. This laws grown up. I heard it 176 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: in the household from the other siblings, write telling you 177 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: about it, right, I really don't remember, But I don't 178 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: remember this alcohol. I thought it was a little different. 179 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: Vaughan graduated from Lima Senior High School and moved back 180 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: to northwest Indiana. He says that that's when he made 181 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: the first of what he calls his mistakes. Killings that 182 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: were not gang related were intended at all. So were 183 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: these the twenty year old murders that the police and 184 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: mayor were referring to. Vaughn first all detectives about these killings. 185 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: On the second night of the death March, he just 186 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: finished leading Detective Forward and Captain Hinajosa to three more 187 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: bodies and abandoned buildings and Gary being Hammond police. Ford 188 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: and Hinajosa asked Vaughn whether he had any murders to 189 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: confess to that had taken place specifically in Hammond. Vaughn 190 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: directed the police to a vacant lot in southwest Hammond 191 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: where a bar had once been located. Vaughn said he'd 192 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: robbed an older couple there sometime back in the early nineties, 193 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: that it only was abandoned then. Yeah, And so these 194 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: two people, why were they in the building? I'll robin, Well, 195 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: but how did you get him there? At the ground 196 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: the point, I'll robin, because they're why used to cut 197 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: through the hilty lite used to be a way to 198 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: cut through back order a mad gun point into the 199 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: bill right and then rob But what did you get 200 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: out of the robbery? Remember it was it was something small, 201 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: remember and I was like I said, I was like, 202 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: it was it just money. It's just money. That's all 203 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: of that. I was just a kid, damn. After walking 204 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: forward and Kinajosa through his memories of the robbery turned 205 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: double homicide, Von guided detectives to an alley between Tracord 206 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: and Becker Street. Von told detectives he'd gotten into a 207 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: fight there and ended up shooting a man. You said 208 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: that you shot him near the telephone pole that was 209 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: directly across right from there. How many times do you 210 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: think you shot hibouree three? Do you know what caliber 211 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: gun you had or anything like? Back then, I was 212 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: caring to I was going badly while I was covered 213 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: here in in nineteen nineties. I know who gave you 214 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: to remember that that was your sweet beat. That's what 215 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: they gave all of us. Meddle months. There's bag then 216 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: twenty food. The twenty five was running rapid, all of 217 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, officers, I think these likely are the murders 218 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: that police referred to in the press conference after Von's 219 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: arrest when they mentioned crimes going back twenty years. But 220 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: it's a bit confusing because Vaughan says in the interrogation 221 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: that these murders took place around one and in the 222 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: account that the mayor wrote on Facebook, he said Vaughan 223 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: had confessed to murders in ninety four, and Vaughn isn't 224 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: great with dates, so maybe he changed his story at 225 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: some point as far as I can tell him, and 226 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: police have yet to connect these confessions to any reported crimes. 227 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: To briefly recap, after graduating high school, Vaughan returned to 228 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: Northwest Indiana in and he told police that around that 229 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: time he shot at least three people in Hammond. Then 230 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: Vaughn's life took a major shift, and in December, he 231 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: enlisted with the Marines. Vaughn was first shipped out to 232 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: San Diego, where he went through boot camp and got 233 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: combat training. Then he trained as a missile system operator 234 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: in El Passa, Texas, and from July to September he 235 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: was stationed in Cherry Point, North Carolina. Here's his lawyer, Cossage. 236 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: I think in North Carolina they got a big brawl 237 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: that he got hit and he with a chair, doesn't 238 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: remember what happened, and there were a couple of other 239 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: head injuries that he suffered in Vaughan received and other 240 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: than honorable discharge from the Marines. Let's just say that 241 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: in the military he got discharged because of an active 242 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: insubordination of some kind. It was really not related to 243 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: the case. It's the insubordination, that thing you mentioned earlier 244 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: with the head damage. No, no, I can't. You know 245 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: Darren didn't take orders. Well, you know, he he didn't 246 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: like being told what to do. And I think it's 247 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: gone throughout his entire life and goes all the way 248 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: back to age four. And at a certain point in 249 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: time they decided, okay, you don't want to take orders. 250 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: I guess we don't need you as a marine. And 251 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: he said, okay, fine. So that was that. How come 252 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: you get kicked out on disciplary behavior? Good soul is 253 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: you're bad at home? And they say, but what led 254 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: to this, uh discharge disappeared really disappearing. We don't fight, 255 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: nobody go home. So you just kind of went a 256 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: wall or whatever they call it. Or I told him 257 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: I was gonna be late coming back, but you know, 258 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: I still a wall. I don't be late. I'm in him. 259 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean Geary, I'll get back. I mean, when I 260 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: you seem that a president, we're not at war. Vaughn 261 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: wasn't that interested in serving his country. Three. What he 262 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: really wanted was to die in the battlefield Vauntel detective Forward. 263 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: He'd taken out a big life insurance policy with the 264 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: hopes of dying in combat and then giving the insurance 265 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: settlement to his younger brother, Reginald that's already not joined. 266 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: Were supposed to be going to war. Okay, so you're 267 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: out in ninety three. Come back to Gary, come back 268 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: to hammn to Hammond, to heaven. So I living right 269 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: for man. Her real life was managed. Sometime around this point, 270 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: von met the woman who'ld later become his wife. Good woman, 271 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: very guy until I'll find Merry a terrible person. She 272 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: believe it. Yeah, she knows I have a terrible temper. 273 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: She said, I'm a good guy, so I'll take care 274 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: of the house and take care of I'll just have 275 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: a terrible temper. It was an unusual relationship for sure. 276 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: Vaughn would have been around twenty two years old and 277 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: the woman, Maria, was fifty one, twenty nine years older 278 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: than him. Maria was an Italian immigrant with kids nearly 279 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: Darren's age. Shortly after Von's arrest, she told The New 280 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: York Times that she'd met Vaughan through some mutual friends. 281 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: She described him as quote intelligent, very relaxed, very nice 282 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: to everyone. But what Maria saw as kind and quiet, 283 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: her son ed interpreted differently. Had spoke to CNN shortly 284 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: after Darren's arrest. First of all, I didn't like it 285 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: for her to marry ad almost my age. Number one, 286 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: number two. He was just a strange guy. I walked 287 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: in and I would see him talking to himself and 288 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: you're saying hello, He's like hello and looked down to 289 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: the ground. He was always in the thought, always like 290 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: he had something else on his mind other than what 291 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: he was. When a person walks around talking to themselves 292 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,959 Speaker 1: and looked like the answering himselves as long with him 293 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: and then he was just says that he killed the 294 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: people alight. He finally topped around just a couple of 295 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: years after he'd started dating Maria. Vaughn says he got 296 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: sucked back into the gang life when his old mentor, 297 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: Big E, was killed. Vaughn says that during the time 298 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: he's spending the Marines. The gangster disciples had fractured and 299 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: split up into small, competing clicks. There was no longer 300 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: any need for gang enforcers, and Vaughan felt like an outsider. 301 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: France killing France killing bro Nobody one murder place because 302 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: all the killing that will years were running the streets. 303 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: Vaughn says he struggled to adjust to this new gang hierarchy, 304 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: and Maria, his fifty year old girlfriend, struggled with his 305 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: return to criminal life. Things came to a head when 306 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: one of the other gang members got arrested. Somebody else 307 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: had busted on her. They thought that person was gonna 308 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: tell on me, and they thought I was gonna tell you. 309 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: They tried to murder me. Von says some gang members 310 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: jumped him and started beating him. They busted open his head, 311 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: but he got away. When he got home, Maria was 312 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: terrified when my head got busted open. She wanted me 313 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: to tell on everybody. I thought, that's not how it work. 314 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: She was high as the say about it. That's how 315 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: I ended up in Texas. To escape, Von and Maria 316 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: moved to Austin and they married in city hall in 317 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: front of a few friends. I got married in Texas. Yeah, 318 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: year because the one important I'm married to rant I 319 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: told you want to give marries you know alone another chick. 320 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm arey because she was a lot with me. She 321 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: married a person didn't love her. Try to take care 322 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: of me. But I know who I am. We all 323 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: are super told like you know your hoss, son of 324 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: a bitch. But she is like, oh yeah, he'll always 325 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: protect us, right, That's how she moved Daddy. They'll go 326 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: out his way to protective. Actually, without her, you would 327 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: probably call me years ago because she gave me Vince. 328 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: You don't need to do this. You got good mind work. 329 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: And maybe Maria did provide Vaughan with some balance and stability, 330 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: because for a while it seemed like Vaughan's life was 331 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: getting back on track. Vaughn says he got a job 332 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: in Austin working for Tell Computers. You work for Dell Computers. 333 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: What did you do assembly with the Futers together program 334 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: in Texas? Yeah? Nice? I work for Deal, I work 335 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: for Thanks, I worked I worked for some nice complet 336 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: to come. Maria's son ed though, remembered it souring quickly. 337 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: You know how it is when you first moved some 338 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: place as a new little relationship. He probably was in 339 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: the happiest moment of his life. I don't know, he 340 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: got some lady to marry him, Okay, but after that, 341 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think he works for a chimp agency, 342 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: that kind of working on the tail. They fired him, 343 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, and from that moment on he went down ill. 344 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: He became a creepy dude. You know, he wandered around 345 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: at nights. My mom didn't think und strange about it 346 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: about his mom her both friend or husband, whatever you 347 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: want to call him. He's running around at nighttime on runbird. Mom, 348 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: you know what kind of neighorhood that is. That's a 349 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: prostitution store. He was a strange dude. He was doing 350 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: something They need to be checking here at Austin. He 351 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: might have been doing something more than just that long gerard, 352 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: as we'll get into in the next episode. Von did 353 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: have at least one victim in Austin, and there are 354 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: cold cases in Austin that are worth exploring as well. 355 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: But while Maria's son Ed identifies Vaughn's firing from Dell 356 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: as the start of Von's downward spiral, Von himself identifies 357 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: another movement. It's the point where he snapped the incident 358 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: he could ever come back from. Sometime around the year 359 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: two thousand, Vaughn and Maria moved back to Gary. Vaughn 360 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: told Detective Forward he'd returned for a family obligation. I 361 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: came home because with another answer, didn't happened. I just 362 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: want to know Cuss got killed. We all came home. 363 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: The whole family came home. Let's just say, you said 364 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: it's your cousin that got killed. Right? Why did that 365 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: make everybody move home? Because who retaliation? Sound? Who was 366 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: that they got killed? Trying to think what they called 367 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: you don't know your cousins thinks, So I told him 368 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: I'm not family orientated. I only came back because my 369 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: other cousin they asked me to come back. At first, 370 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: it might sound like Von's bullshitting when he says he 371 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: doesn't know his cousin's name, But remember Von didn't meet 372 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: any of his family until he was twelve. Still, his 373 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: shaking this with these kind of details makes it hard 374 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: to pin down exactly where he was at a given time. 375 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Von stepsister, Regina, says that after he graduated high school 376 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: in she lost touch with him, really got close back 377 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: two thousands I broke off my engagement. He stayed with 378 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: me for two months. I told you know, Dally appear. 379 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: He moved out. Regina says that at the time, Vaughan 380 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: was unhappy with his marriage. He was thirty two then 381 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: and wanted to have a kid, but his wife, Maria 382 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: was now over sixty. Maria told The New York Times 383 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: that this was when the relationships started to fall apart. 384 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: She said, quote, I didn't want to be with him anymore. 385 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: He had single friends. There were signs that he was 386 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: going with somebody else, and Maria was right. Von had 387 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: told his step sister that he'd met another woman, that 388 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: he was in love with her, and that his wish 389 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: to have a child was coming true. He had gotten 390 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: his new girlfriend pregnant. Vaughn's new girlfriend was a woman 391 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: named Sharita. She liked that he was smart and didn't 392 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: drink or do drugs. She told The Daily Mail that 393 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: his idea of a night out was going to Barnes 394 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: and Noble and reading books, usually science fiction or Harry Potter. 395 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: Sharita new Vaughn was married, but he and Maria were 396 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: living separately at that point, and he told Sharita that 397 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: he had only gotten married in the first place because 398 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: he hated being alone. But as Sharita and Vaughn's relationship progressed, 399 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: she learned that Vaughan had a dark side. He'd get 400 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: jealous easily, he didn't want her having her own friends, 401 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: and he became increasingly controlling. Sometimes he would lock her 402 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: in side the house when he went to work. She 403 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: said that one time, when they were visiting her mother's house, 404 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: he hog tied her and covered her mouth with duct 405 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: tapes so she couldn't scream. Sharita realized she had to 406 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: get out of the relationship, but when she would try 407 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: to end things, Von would threaten her and her mother. 408 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: One night, Von made Sharifa go out on a walk 409 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: with him. He took her out to a desolate part 410 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: of Gary and surrounded by abandoned buildings, he told her, 411 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: I could easily make you disappear. Accounts of what happened 412 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: next in Von and Sharitha's relationship are hazy. I tried 413 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: to reach out, but I couldn't get in contact with 414 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: her and her One published interview in The Daily Mail 415 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: doesn't address this point, but it appears that in two 416 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: thousand four, Sharitha and Vaughan had their child, but shortly 417 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: after the birth, something happened and the child died. And 418 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: around this same time, Tretha escaped from the abusive relationship, 419 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: left Vaughn and went into hiding. And this is where 420 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: Von says he snapped. He became enraged and blamed Tretha 421 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: for the child Stath because just snapped it that moment, 422 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: because we allowed the child and we're going through that 423 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: all morning period. She was out getting high and took 424 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: my money to the dope man. I was like, that's 425 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: just too bad. Damn what how like fuck if you 426 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: want to funk up like this, We're just gonna get 427 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: this ship over with. But we all went back out 428 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: of control again. I never made him back. And once 429 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: you I don't know how to flame. If y'all y'all 430 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: don't have the same merger, no way for me to 431 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: blame the murder rages. Once you started killing again, it 432 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: becomes it's like any other day. It's like if I was. 433 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: I'm not an alcoholic, but if I were and I 434 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: started to drink, You're off to the races, right. That's 435 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: basically because you have the urge the hunt. Some people 436 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: I talked to say they don't understanding, Like I went 437 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: to talk to a therapist, but he wanted too much 438 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: now because he said he had to report all the primes. 439 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, So you can't. Really it's hard. 440 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: It would definitely be hard to explain your problem to 441 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: somebody who had so you can't go. I need to help. 442 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: What's your problems? Like killing people? He said, well, have 443 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: you killed emybody? And that's when their discussion is going 444 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: to get little fund next time on algorithm boost the 445 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: gas fight and they had the whole build and filled 446 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: with gas. I tried to take the girl on fire 447 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: and being on fire and go to building up all 448 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: the same kind Sometimes you went to scenario had to 449 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: went different than two thousands four and maybe some people 450 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: would still be alive. If you look at like police stories, 451 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: the police stories are almost always told from the perspective 452 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: of catching the wrong tour. My story starts, okay, you 453 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: caught him, Now what you know, what's the rest of 454 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: the story.
