19
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,080

21
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: said it. They just outright called so it's so stupid.

22
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: The S word is stupid, the s H word is

23
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: shut up, the F word is fat. Okay, that's the

24
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: world a third grader lives in or should live in, right,

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Not Debbie Lynn Randall. Not Debbie Lynn Randall, a third

26
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: grader at Pine Forest Elementary School. Debbie was murdered, kidnapped

27
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: and murdered and I want to know who did it.

28
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: I Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for

29
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: being with us, with me, of course, the Duke Alan

30
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Duke out of l A, with me, special guest Detective

31
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Morris Nix, who has been on this case from the

32
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: get go, and also with us a very special guest,

33
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Detective Nicks. I will let you introduce our special guest. Okay, answer,

34
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: We got very fortunate as one called me and said, hey,

35
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: I think I know someone who may know something about this,

36
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: and so I contacted Sandra, and of course I was

37
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm always skeptical, but Sandra hit on some points immediately

38
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: that I could relate to. We have always worked on

39
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: the premise that the perpetrated with driving a black kickop

40
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: to UK and sadly immediately said he was driving a

41
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: black Kickop that had not been released, and she also

42
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: told me the route that he had taken once she

43
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: abducted Debby, and we knew that there were only two

44
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: ways she could have gone, and she was very affirmative

45
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: and pointing out the way that we thought that she

46
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: had gone. And I've talked to several people in the past,

47
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: but I find her very quitible. Detective Nis has been

48
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: on the case of first a missing girl, Debilenn Randall,

49
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: and now sadly, the cold case of this murdered third grader.

50
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Before we go out to our special guest and newly

51
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: emerged witness, what happened in this case, Alan, is that

52
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: this little girl had gone to a laundry Matt SuDS

53
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: and Duds. It was so close to her home, like

54
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: a block and I recall that the because my family

55
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: for a long time didn't have a washer and dryer.

56
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: We couldn't afford one, so we would go to the

57
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: laundry mat between morning services and evening services on Sundays.

58
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: And I went in there many a time and folded

59
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: laundry and piled it into our basket by myself. This

60
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: little girl did something very similar to that she would

61
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: go play trade Barbie doll outfits with friends at the

62
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: laundry mat where their family did their weekly laundry, including

63
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: a seven pm visit, which is about the time that

64
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: we would go. Okay, we go right before we went

65
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: to evening services. Her stepdad was with her, but he

66
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: left early. Just thirty minutes later, she walked out of

67
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: the laundry mat with a bottle of detergent, going home.

68
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: She never made it. According to the Marietta Police Department,

69
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: witnesses saw a pickup truck driving along around the time

70
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: Debbie vanished. It stopped right in front of the home,

71
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: backed up into a secluded area. Police later found the

72
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: detergent bottle splashed on the ground in that same spot.

73
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: It was the bottle Debbie had been carrying while she

74
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: walked home. Volunteers from a local school, Southern Polytechnic University

75
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: all volunteered, and one of the volunteers found the little

76
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: girl's lifeless body. It had been so abused all these years.

77
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: We have searched for answers as to who murdered Debbie.

78
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: I want to go out to Sandra that Detective Nicks

79
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: just told you about, Sandra, What made you decide to

80
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: come forward. This much later, my sister worst were Cobb County, Gale,

81
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: and she told me the case had been reopened. And

82
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: I thought it had been closed all a long time ago.

83
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: And I told her I saw it happened. And she said, well,

84
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: somebody might be calling union in touch with you, and

85
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: I said okay. And that's when she was talking to

86
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: a detective. And I called her one day and she said, well,

87
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: this is going tod and she put him on the

88
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: phone and he asked me if I would be willing

89
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: to talk to Detective mix and from their own as

90
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: as just connection to you, Santra. I know it was

91
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: a while back, but please put your mind back to

92
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: the evening Debbie disappeared. What did you observe lady might

93
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: get her where they thought they got hurt. There was

94
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: like a playground that was behind the ladra mat and

95
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: also a place there where you would go and get

96
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: Line Morris to cut people's grass. And there was a

97
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: trade right there beside the laundromat where there was no

98
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: windows or anything on the side. I've seen this black

99
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: pickup truck stop. The driver got out, left this door open.

100
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Let's the truck running. He ran. He went over to Debby.

101
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: He grabbed her and she was kicking her feet and kicking,

102
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: kicking real hard and screaming and yelling. And he had

103
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: had her over his shoulders, so she was screaming and kicking.

104
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: He threw her in the truck and then he almost

105
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: ran over me. What did the truck look like? All

106
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: I know is that it was a black truck because

107
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I was cover of years old, But I can remember

108
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: it like it was yesterday. I've had nightmares about it

109
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: through Ever, What did he look like? He was a

110
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: white man and I was maybe a hundred forty to

111
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: eighty feet from him, so I couldn't tell you what

112
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: he like, but I I could tell he was white.

113
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: And do you recall what he had on? He had

114
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: a pants and shirt, but I, I mean, I don't

115
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: other than that, I just looked long pants and a shirt.

116
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: And I remember because um, I looked at somebody that

117
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: was walking with me. I said, did you just say that?

118
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: And when I heard her screaming yell, and I said,

119
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: somebody has done got in trouble. And I mean he

120
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: almost like I said, he I must have felt because

121
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I got up. Was when I did I accustomed as

122
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: he went by me, but he went out. Did you

123
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: think that was her father? I didn't know. I just

124
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: thought it was. I didn't know because I didn't know

125
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: there be myself. I had not had had met her

126
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Is the way I found out

127
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: about it was the next day I had went to

128
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: the little store that was in the Marryatta place, and

129
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: her brother was handing out flyers asking if anybody had

130
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: seen anything or hurt anything. And back then I told

131
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: him that I would talk to somebody because there was

132
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: no other way he would have been able to get

133
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: out except could go if he I lived on four Streak,

134
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: and if he went around Fourth Street, he would still

135
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: hit further on street. If he had went straight, he

136
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: would hit further on street. I had another girl with

137
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: me is because we were taking her clothes to the

138
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: launder back and I mean, I don't I don't know

139
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: what happened was her because back then seen that the

140
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: Tectus says she was just I don't know, I don't know,

141
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what was going on with her.

142
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: But then I saw her later on, and I mean

143
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: she had turned into an alcoholic, so you know that's

144
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: been thirty years ago at the time. Did you ever

145
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: get to talk to police detect This came to my

146
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: house when I lived down Fourth Street and that was

147
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: the last thing I heard anything. I mean, did you

148
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: speak to them from there on? I didn't hear anything else.

149
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,920

Speaker 1: were looking at. Um, we are gonna put of contact

157
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: the other person and they answer, I want to shame

158
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: he with your listeners if I might. Um. We believed

159
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: Day's body was taken to a place called dixie Castle Stove.

160
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: It was our ally fay do we they secluded as

161
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: a team. They dragged it up down Powers three one

162
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: thousand times. Another new dixie Castle Stone was there there.

163
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: It's the ability longer there, but the business is still

164
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: in business. But the business is now in the austral

165
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: part of Springs area. So I couldn't send me out.

166
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: In my mind, it's initially why they would have brought there,

167
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: and it was low. We found out that the original

168
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: Dixie Castle stones on Polishtory Road, so we go find

169
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: out where the building should have been. We go back

170
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: to where the body was found and guess what, it's

171
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: less than a quarter mill Her body was done less

172
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: than a quarter mine for Dixie Castle Stone. And how

173
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: that become rolevant is that in the initial investigation they

174
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: samples and the type of silver that was found out

175
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: they disclosed and on her body was put was very

176
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: specific to the Mississippi Louisiana area. They also had that

177
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: same type of soul at Dixie Casting Stone. I think

178
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 1: she was a breathat nder my. I think she was

179
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: taking down my Ferry Real Street up in from the Blocke,

180
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: taken over to Windy Hill, to Power's Ferry and to

181
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: Dixie Castle Stone. So I started trying to find the

182
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: history of Dixie Casting Stone. So if there are you

183
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: need listeners listening to this that can tell us more

184
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: about Dixie cast Stone who want to hear um the

185
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: same family still as if I had no pay roll records,

186
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: they had lessing. But the son, who now owns it,

187
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: told me. He said it was not unusual for my

188
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: father and the company to go to the Cob County

189
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: jail on the weekends and get labors. That they would

190
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: get people who had just gotten out of jail for

191
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: drunk or you know, something minor, and they would take

192
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: him over to workers neighbors. Is that a connection, I

193
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: don't know, but I am convinced that she was taking

194
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:21,359
Speaker 1: to Dixie Casting Stone. She was assaulted, her body was redressed,

195
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: and at this point I started to speculate, did he

196
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: think that she was already? Did did he find out?

197
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: As he after he got it was pap that she

198
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: wasn't and he pulled over soide of the road. UM.

199
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: I prayed that she was. But we desperately are seeking

200
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: someone who would have a connection from Dixie Casting Stone,

201
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: from a proptary nineteen in nineteen seventy four in that

202
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: time area. UM, if you contact, say I do, that's

203
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: not gonna make him a person of interest, but it

204
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: will help her hopefully locate somebody who can tell us

205
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: something about people who work there. Let me ask you

206
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: a question, Detective Nix. You're referring to Dixie Casting and

207
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: Stone which was a company cast and stone that worked

208
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: out of Marietta, Georgia area. And what exactly is that?

209
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: What do they create? What do they do? Is my

210
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: understanding that they've build concrete forms. I don't know what

211
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: all they're using for, but that's primarily what they do.

212
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: M hm. Now you said that on her body and

213
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: clothing is soil from Louisiana and Mississippi. I believe you said,

214
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: and that soil of course would not be in Marietta, Georgia,

215
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: but you believe that particular soil was an ingredient used

216
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: at Dixie cast in Stone. Is that correct? We do, okay,

217
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: So that's where that's where Okay, that's where you're getting

218
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: that from. Okay. I wanted to nail down your interest

219
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: in the soil. So she had to be at Dixie

220
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: Casting then, because the only place that that's soil um

221
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: composition would have turned up okay. And I'm wondering would

222
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: someone that worked there full time have taken her there

223
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: or someone that just knew about the place, which tends

224
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: to go towards your day laborer aspect. Correct, And you know,

225
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: and they's been very cooperative, he said back in nineteen

226
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: seventy two. There was no gate, there were no lights.

227
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: He said, you could have driven around behind the sand pits,

228
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: and he said nobody would have heard you. He said,

229
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: whoever took care there had to have known it was

230
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: going to say, they had to have felt comfortable going there,

231
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: and they hadn't have known. They couldn't leave the body there.

232
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: And when he left with her, he had taken a

233
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: piece of cloth in her vaginal area. He did that

234
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: we bleed so that she wouldn't bleed all of the

235
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: trumb and to redress the body. I don't answer, I

236
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: don't know him. That just that I just feel like

237
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: he was headed to the chattahoo I don't mind feel

238
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: that way, but I just you feel that what he was,

239
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: you feel what I believe you said it to the

240
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't believe feeling me that I do, Detective. The

241
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Chattahoochee River is actually just probably a quarter mile from

242
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: where you're talking about. Anyway, if you walk through the

243
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: woods right and that he never made it. He whipped

244
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: it on the side of the road. Takes you guess

245
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: what they find the buy And I hope she was

246
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: breathing so much that he wanted to get r out

247
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: of the truck or she was still alive, and you know,

248
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: my prayer is that she wasn't. For anyone that has information,

249
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: the tip line is seven seven zero five to eight

250
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: three zero three two and with us a newly emerged

251
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: witness comes forward again, Sandra, after hearing about the case

252
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: our podcast, the case being reopened by Detective Nis, and

253
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: what we believe is newly discovered evidence, not evidence that

254
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: did not exist then, but evidence that not had not

255
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: necessarily been analyzed the way it can be analyzed now.

256
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: Seven seven oh five to eight three zero three. To Sandra,

257
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: you said that over these years you have had one

258
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: nightmare after the next about this incident. What do you

259
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: dream about? I was a street kid back then, and uh,

260
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean I was that year I would have been

261
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: thirteen years old, but my life had been really turned

262
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: upside down. Was my mom and dad getting divorced. And

263
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: I was just mean. I was just really really mean

264
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: back then. I was. I really was mean, And I

265
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: mean I thought about this for forty four years, you know,

266
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: and I always wondered where she was buried at the

267
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: detective next told me, and so I want to go

268
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: out and visit her grave. And tell her I'm sorry

269
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: because if it had been just a few minutes later,

270
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: I had been both cider. So what is your nightmare? Repeat?

271
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: What is the bad dreaming have? It's this dream about

272
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: her and the things that she has had went through.

273
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: The man who done it. I can't see his face,

274
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: but I can see him, you know, his face is

275
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: It's like his face is black, but I can He

276
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: was a sun. I wouldn't say he was skinny. He

277
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: was a medium built, maybe even a little bit chunky.

278
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell because of the shirt. But it just, um,

279
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: it's just about her. I mean, she was an angel

280
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: and they should not have happened for her detect him. Next,

281
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: what about DNA was thinking we didn't have a player.

282
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're saying this is the plus years and

283
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: uh and miraculously because Mary had a pis probably did

284
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: a great job maintaining the average. We got a profile,

285
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: and we know that it is a single donor. We

286
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: know that he is a white male. And one of

287
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: the things we had often wondered about is, okay, if

288
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: he had best debby and she resisting, how does he

289
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: drive to cook? How does she keep control of the

290
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: truck and control the play at the same time. So

291
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: I started asking people that do Debby, do you think

292
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: that she would have thought or do you think she

293
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: would have been so terrified that she just kind of

294
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: cowered down? Um Sanders says she did not see another

295
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: person in the tree. I'm very curious was there anyone

296
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: else with this guy? Perhaps she just did as she

297
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: was told that he had a knife. I don't know, Um,

298
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: but yes, we do have DNA. If we can match

299
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: it with the right person, game over. And I believe

300
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: there's a very living I think this is a doable case,

301
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: and I think we have just got to stay on

302
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: finding the person that we can match it with. Somebody

303
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: who lived in that complex, somebody who worked at Dixie.

304
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: Catherine Stone can give me an idea, and if you

305
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: get it to me, I promise you I'm going to

306
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: look it up with me. Detective Morris next renowned investigator

307
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: and detective who has been on this case from the

308
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: very very beginning and never let go and now coming

309
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: forward again after all these years, Our guest Sandra is
