1 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Ricinus communis is an exotic perennial plant with oversized purplish leaves, 2 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: bulbous seed pods, and blooms in various striking colors. It's 3 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: a pretty plant, often grown in decorative gardens. The seeds, 4 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: called castor beans, which are about the size of a peanut, 5 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: can be pressed into castor oil, which has several uses 6 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: as a preservative in food and an ingredient in cosmetic products. 7 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: But the seeds are probably more famously known for their 8 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: lethal nature, as they contain a toxin risin that can 9 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: kill even in small amounts. As this poison can be 10 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: manufactured at home, it's a popular choice for would be assassins. 11 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: Cruise and hazmat suits are seen entering a male facility 12 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: near washing after letters sent to President Barack Obama and 13 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: a Mississippi senator test positive for risin. 14 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 3: The FBI is also investigating letters sent to the Pentagon 15 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: that tested positive for the deadly poison ricin. 16 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 4: The details of an arrest at the Canada US border 17 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 4: of a person suspected of sending a letter containing a 18 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 4: deadly poison to Donald Trump's White House. 19 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: Despite their potential for deadly use, you can legally buy 20 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: Castban's online or in a gardening store, and if you 21 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: happen upon them by accident, it's likely you wouldn't recognize 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: the fatal power they contain. 23 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: Investigator Elliot located a small firebox safe in one of 24 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: the bedroom closets. 25 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 5: Corey states she. 26 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: Does not have a key for it and it hasn't 27 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: been opened in probably ten years. 28 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: Detective Weber noted that during one of the searches of 29 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Teleina and Corey's house, the investigator stumbled on a small safe. 30 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: Corey insists that the safe can't be opened, but Weber 31 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: is not so easily deterred. 32 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: I located several sets of keys hanging in the closet 33 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: by the front door. The first key I tried opened 34 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: the safe. The findings inside the safe were extremely significant. 35 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: Inside the safe, among other things, were three small packages 36 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: of bubble wrap. Inside the packages were castor beans and 37 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: seeds to grow castor beans, specifically Ricinus communists. 38 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: The police can't take the beans, they aren't included in 39 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: the search warrant, but they can take Corey's computers, and 40 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: in one of them they find a Microsoft word file 41 00:02:45,000 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: created in twenty twelve titled making Risin from iHeart podcasts. 42 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm Melissa Jelson, and this is what happened to Telenazar. 43 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 6: And I slung open the door and me and Rachel 44 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 6: standing there, and she goes, oh my god, this thing 45 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 6: sounds like bath. 46 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 3: Well, the only reason it has to do with anything 47 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: is just because my understanding it was there one day 48 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: and now it's not. 49 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 6: She goes, well, Corey butchered that thing, and I'm like 50 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 6: what she said. Yeah, she ket that horse up in 51 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 6: tiny little pieces and dumped it out for the kayadt. 52 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: He rope was fucking hell, what's going on here? We 53 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: thought we thought we had her. 54 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 7: My husband and I spent every penny we had to 55 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 7: move to his confident and we went through a tough 56 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 7: time where we didn't have much money. 57 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: Episode seven, Safe Tell me when you first learned about 58 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: what had happened in Wisconsin. 59 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: She had been involved in a robbery. That's how she 60 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: got her felony. 61 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Early on in Jess's investigation, she doesn't know much about 62 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: Corey's past criminal conviction, just that she had one in 63 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: Wisconsin in twenty fourteen, until a woman named Sherry Ziegler 64 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: joins the Justice for Teleina Facebook group. 65 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: And then Sherry told me the exact story of what 66 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 2: had happened. 67 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: Sherry and her husband Michael lived still live in Middleton, Wisconsin. 68 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: It's a suburb of Madison, a friendly place, according to 69 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: its motto, the good neighbor City. Cherry said, for the 70 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: first twenty years they lived there, they never really locked 71 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: their doors, but that all starts to change when the 72 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: Zieglers get back from a trip to Florida at the 73 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: end of March twenty fourteen. It's then that they experience 74 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: a series of strange and unexplained events. First, they come 75 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: home to a mess, a bunch of unidentified debris spread 76 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: inside their house. In the hallways and in their bedroom, 77 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: they find what looks like small pebbles or crumbled sheet rock. 78 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: It's also in their bed, under the covers, and inside 79 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: Sherry's underwear and sock drawer. 80 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: She said it looked like kitty litter on her bed, 81 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: her pillow, all over her dresser. Yeah, she called it 82 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 2: kitty litter. 83 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: The couple are exhausted, and since nothing else appears disturbed, 84 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: they've write it off as a weird prank. They unpack, 85 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: return their travel money to their safe, sweep the weird 86 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 1: pebbles out of their sheets go to bed. A month 87 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: passes without incident, and then one night, Mike goes to 88 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: get some items from the safe in their bedroom closet 89 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: and finds the safe's not there. Shery tells Jess it 90 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: was filled with the usual valuables. 91 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: It was like a thousand dollars worth of cash. The 92 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: deed to their house like a bunch of important stuff 93 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: that you've keep in a safe. 94 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: Right this time, the Zieglers call the police. A deputy 95 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: comes by, makes a report, and begins an investigation, but 96 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: without any leads or evidence, the case goes stale. And 97 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: then a month after that, Cherry gets a credit card 98 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: statement in the mail. It's from a card she never activated, 99 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: and it's only now she realizes it's missing from where 100 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: she left it in a dish on the kitchen counter. 101 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 2: A credit card bill had come in the mail for 102 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: a credit card she knew she had not opened yet, 103 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: and that's what led her to check the statement find 104 00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: out where the money was spent. 105 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: And Sherry calls the credit card company and they tell 106 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: her that the card was activated a few weeks earlier 107 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: from the landline inside her home. She knows she didn't 108 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: activate it, so who did. Looking at the charges on 109 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: her statement, she recognizes some of the businesses where the 110 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: card was used. Among them is the gas station down 111 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: the road. So much like Jess would, I imagine, Cherry 112 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: heads over to the quick trip and demands to see 113 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: the video footage of the transaction. 114 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: Her and her little self, which I can attest to 115 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: at this point is maybe one hundred and twenty pounds 116 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: of older lady. She's a wonderful human. I really like Sherry, 117 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: but she's anybody little thing going down there asking for 118 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: receipts and videos. And I mean Biddleton and Verona is 119 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: pretty small so and she's lived there a long time, 120 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: so she had a couple relationships and wasn't afraid to 121 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: go up and say, hey, I want to look at 122 00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: this video. 123 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: And who does Sherry see using the card issued in 124 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: her name? Her neighbor, Corey Shehry told Jess that Corey 125 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: and her husband Alec had moved in next door a 126 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: few months earlier, and from the beginning it had been 127 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: a tense relationship. 128 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: She said it was always just an uncomfortable dynamic, that 129 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: her and Corey never really hit it off at all, 130 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: but Mike and Corey seem to have some kind of 131 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: like neighborly relationship. 132 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Sherry reports her discovery to the police, and later that 133 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: day they arrest Corey. 134 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 8: I began by asking Corey if she was aware that 135 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 8: her neighbor to the direct north had been burglarized, to 136 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 8: which she said yes. 137 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: Well, Sherry wasn't able to listen in on the conversation 138 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: between Corey and the arresting officers. I was able to 139 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: obtain the police report, which goes into detail about this 140 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: interaction as well as their full investigation. You're about to 141 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: hear re enacted selections of the police report. 142 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 8: I began to show Corey Adams the still photographs of 143 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 8: the suspect inside the Quick Trip located on West Mineral 144 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 8: Point Road. I asked Corey if she recognized the subject 145 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 8: in the photograph, from which she said, it sure looks 146 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 8: like me, It sure looks like me. I then showed 147 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 8: Corey Adams the photograph of the vehicle buying gas at 148 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 8: the Quick Trip on East Varona Avenue and asked her 149 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 8: if that was the vehicle which was sitting in her driveway, 150 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 8: which she said yes, yes. I again asked Corey Adams 151 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 8: if she knew anything about the crimes committed against her 152 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 8: direct next door neighbor Michael and Sharon Ziegler, and she 153 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 8: again said no, no. As I continued to question Corey Adams, 154 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 8: she said, I'm racking my brain trying to make sense 155 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 8: of this. 156 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 5: I'm racking my brain trying to make sense of this. 157 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 8: I informed Corey Adams that the evidence against her at 158 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 8: this point was very incriminating and that if she had 159 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 8: any involvement with this crime, now is the time to 160 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 8: tell me the truth. 161 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: Corey continues to say she doesn't know anything about any 162 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: crimes committed against her name. Corey is later charged with 163 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: four counts of fraudulent use of a credit card. However, 164 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: the police are never able to connect Corey to the 165 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: missing safe or find proof that she entered the Ziegler's 166 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: house illegally. Here's Jess again. 167 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: Sherry insists that Corey was in her home, and she's 168 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: convinced that she had to come in the house gotten 169 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: a letter because it had to be done from her phone. 170 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: In court, Corey ultimately takes a plea bargain, admitting to 171 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: one count of fraudulently using a credit card. She denies 172 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: stealing it, though instead she claims she simply found the 173 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: activated credit card outside on the ground and decided to 174 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: use it. Judge William E. Hanrahan is skeptical. Here's a 175 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: reenactment of some of his comments in court. 176 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 9: All right, so somebody else had access, got into the 177 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 9: house and took the time to use that home phone 178 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 9: to activate the credit card, and somehow had access to 179 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 9: the last port digits of the victim's social Security number, 180 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 9: and took all these affirmative steps, but didn't have the 181 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 9: wherewithal to hang on to the card when they left 182 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 9: the house. And your client just happened to pick up 183 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 9: that exact, same, newly activated card and had the lapse 184 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 9: of judgment enough to stick it in her pocket and 185 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 9: go and use it on several occasions. Is that the story? 186 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: The judge doesn't buy Corey's explanation, and neither do the Zieglers. 187 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: Even though she pleads guilty, they still have so many questions. 188 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: Here's the recreation of parts of Sherry's victim impact statement 189 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: that was read in court. 190 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 4: This defendant is being charged and convicted of the fraudulent 191 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: use of my credit card, but the underlying concern is 192 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: so much greater than that. 193 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 5: It is this how did she get my credit card? 194 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: Sherry explains that she spoke with the credit card company 195 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: and they were able to pinpoint the exact time and 196 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: date that the credit card was activated. 197 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 4: We left our house at six point thirty that night 198 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 4: and the card was activated at seven o'clock the same night. 199 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 4: The credit card was activated from our home phone, and 200 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 4: the credit card company reported that it was activated by 201 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 4: a woman. 202 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 5: That woman knew. 203 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 4: The last four digits of my social security number. 204 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: Cherry tells the judge she believes the woman is her 205 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: next door neighbor, Corey. 206 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: It seems so very obvious to us all that she 207 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 4: was in our home while she knew we were gone. 208 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 4: She found the new credit card sitting on the kitchen counter, 209 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: She used our phone to activate it, and then she 210 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 4: was seen using the credit card Shortly after that, she 211 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 4: is seen on video using my credit card. 212 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 5: She used it multiple times. 213 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 4: Judge, I wish there was a way you could compel 214 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 4: Corey to tell you and us how she got my 215 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 4: credit card number. We just want her to admit that 216 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 4: it was her who stole it. At least then we 217 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: would know who was in our house that night. 218 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: Sherry reminds the judge that this incident was not the 219 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: first intrusion into their home. 220 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 4: When we returned from a trip to Florida in March, 221 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 4: we came home to stuff, kitty litter or broken sheet 222 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 4: rock material scattered throughout our house, especially on my side 223 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 4: of the bed and in my underwear drawer. This was 224 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 4: very personal and I felt particularly scared. 225 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: And then there's the issue of the stolen safe, the 226 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: valuables that were never recovered, and no one was held 227 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: accountable for all of it. Was taking a toll on 228 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: Sherry and Mike. So much for the good neighbor city. 229 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 5: Do we feel safe living next door to Corey? No? 230 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 4: Do our neighbors feel safe after our house was broken into? No, 231 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 4: none of us feel safe anymore. We are good, law 232 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 4: abiding people, and we have to live being afraid of 233 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: our nigh This is no way to live. 234 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: The judge has some choice words for Corey before she leaves. 235 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 9: Now, I've been told that you've been punished enough by 236 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 9: a conviction for this crime. I'm not feeling it. Honestly. 237 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 9: I find this to be an aggravated offense. I don't 238 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 9: know why, at age fifty two that this seemed like 239 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 9: a good thing to do in fact, I don't really 240 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 9: know the depth of what you've done. The most troubling 241 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 9: aspect of this whole string of events here is that 242 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 9: it wasn't against a major corporation. It's not against a stranger. 243 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 9: It's against your neighbor. This is of biblical proportions. These 244 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 9: are people who should have been able to trust you. 245 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 9: It strikes at the very heart of an individual's sense 246 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 9: of security, their sense of well being, their sense of belonging. 247 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: Corey is sentenced to two years probation in order to 248 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: build a privacy fence between their two properties. The judge 249 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: goes on to Warren Corey that her life is at 250 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: a crossroads and it could easily be headed in the 251 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: wrong direction. 252 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 9: You've got to know that what you've done is extremely wrong. 253 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 9: You've got to know that somehow, somewhere along the way 254 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 9: you slip the tracks. You have to figure out what 255 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 9: went wrong, and you have to fix it. 256 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: Five years later, Corey is sitting in a small interview 257 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: room in the Wagner County Sheriff's office answering questions about Tealina, 258 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: and when Detective Weber asks about Corey's criminal history, she 259 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: tells him a very different story. Than she told police 260 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin in twenty fourteen. 261 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: Somebody brought up at some point that you were charged 262 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: with something and I don't remember what state. 263 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 7: Wisconsin or in Wisconsin, Wisconsin. Yes, So what happened in 264 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 7: a nutshell my husband's. 265 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: Version, she's the victim. She tells Weber that she had 266 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: befriended Mike Ziegler and he had helped her out financially 267 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: during a rough patch. Corey says Mike offered her his 268 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: wife's credit card to use for essentials like gas and groceries, 269 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: and he said she could pay him back whenever she 270 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: got the chance. 271 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 7: Well, the wife was jealous of him and I for 272 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 7: no reason, and she had a canary and she pressed charges. 273 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: Weber doesn't take Corey's story at face value. Instead, the 274 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: Wagner County Sheriff's office reaches out to authorities in Wisconsin 275 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: for context. I imagine Weber got the same police reports. 276 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: I have, the ones detailing the missing safe, the multiple 277 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: break ins, the strange debris scattered all around the house. 278 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: Weber also gets a tip a legend that Corey had 279 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: not only stolen the Ziegler's credit card, but had actually 280 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: tried to poison them. It sounds a little far fetched, 281 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: why would she poison her neighbors. But when Wagner police 282 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: discover the castor beans and the word document outlining how 283 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: to make ricin, they start to wonder, maybe that tip. 284 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: Is true, considering the beans were hidden in a safe 285 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 3: inside of bubble wrap in a closet, and because Corey 286 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 3: lied about having a key to it, and this made 287 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: the history in Wisconsin in which she reportedly trying to 288 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: poison people much more likely to be true. 289 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: And maybe that strange debris Sherry Ziegler found in her 290 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: bed wasn't kitty litter after all. In July, the Wagner 291 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: County Sheriff's office reaches out to Sherry, who later told 292 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: all of. 293 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: This to Jess. One of the sheriffs said, well, if 294 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: you think you still have any of it in your house, 295 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 2: she said, you know, I don't think I do, but 296 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: I'll go and look. And it just so happens that 297 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: behind her dresser in her room she still had parts 298 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: of it. I was kind of shocked, because this happened 299 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen, and we're talking twenty twenty at this point, 300 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: that she still had pieces of it. I was like, Wow, 301 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 2: I don't think i'd have any of that left in 302 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: my house. She said she had kept some of the 303 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: kitty litter stuff, like in a bag eat, just because 304 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: she was always like confused as to what it was. 305 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: And they had said, well, can you mail whatever it 306 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 2: is you have down to the Sheriff's office and she 307 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: said sure, why not. 308 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: Wagner Investigators receive Sherry's package and hands it over to 309 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: the FBI for testing. It comes back positive for risin. 310 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: And I was like, wow, she. I'm a huge Breaking 311 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: Bad fan, love Breaking Bad. I remember the episode when 312 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 2: Walter made Bryce no to castor beans. So that's where 313 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: my head went, like her in a lab somewhere creating 314 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: this powder, and really she was doing it in the 315 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: shed in the backyard. So that was my Oh shit, 316 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: we're in a lot of trouble. 317 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 1: Now Here's what Jess told me happened next, though I 318 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: wasn't able to independently verify it. 319 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 2: Every post office that her letter went through had to 320 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: be shut down and inspected and tested because of what 321 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 2: the poison ended up being. So I joke with Sherry 322 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: all the time in regards to being, you know, one 323 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: of those people that sends poison in the mail. I'm like, gosh, 324 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 2: we you know you're a felon at this point, and 325 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 2: we kind of giggle about it, and the poor sheriff, 326 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: I'm sure, is beating his head against the wall, thinking 327 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 2: what the heck did I have her do? I can't 328 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: imagine any sheriff in the right mind to be like, 329 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: go ahead and mail that to us if that's you 330 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: know what he actually thought it was. 331 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: The Wagner County Sheriff's office passes the information along to 332 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: Wisconsin so they can open their own investigation. But back 333 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma, Toalina's case remains at a standstill. Corey's still 334 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: free on bond, Toleina is still missing, and the online 335 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: sleuth are suddenly in the dark. 336 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: After Marty had died, we were kind of cut off 337 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: from information in Oklahoma quite a bit. He was the 338 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: one that police bar I was talking to, so then 339 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: he'd feed it back to us, right. 340 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Corey goes about her business. In late August, she 341 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: attempts to scrap to Lena's truck, a two thousand and 342 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: seven Dodge Ram. She brings it to Budget Recycling along 343 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: with the story that the truck had been given to 344 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: her by a relative of a friend, and that it 345 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: was kind of busted. The scrapyard says they can only 346 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: give her about two hundred bucks, which is far less 347 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: than the truck is worth, but she agrees and walks 348 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: out with the cash. The scrapyard employees find this whole 349 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: interaction strange, especially after they drive the car and it's 350 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: running just fine. After doing a bit of googling amateur 351 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: sleuths themselves, they work out who Corey is a suspect 352 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: in her roommate's disappearance and report the incident to Corey 353 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: is arrested once again, this time for felony, fraud, and embezzlement. 354 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: But Corey bonds out once again, and this time she 355 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: gets out of Wagner. She heads to Wisconsin to stay 356 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: with her mom. Jess learns about this and realizes Corey 357 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: is now only one stayed away. 358 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: When she moved to Wisconsin to be with her mom, 359 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: I got not scared, but more worried because she was closer. 360 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: Middleton is four and a half hours for me, so 361 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 2: easy trip if she wanted to make it. 362 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 7: And there's one goall online that you know, between some 363 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 7: misinformation and some fabrication. 364 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: It's unfortunate with Corey in Wisconsin, all of Jess's spies 365 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 1: on the ground and Wagner are useless. 366 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 2: So there was nothing, no neighbors to eyeball, Corey, nobody 367 00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: like nobody. 368 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: For all the frenzy of the early investigation, things now 369 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: start to slow way down. Summer turns into fall, turns 370 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: into winter with no update on Telena. COVID meanwhile continues 371 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: to lay siege to the country. By the end of 372 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, deaths from the virus are still climbing, and 373 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,239 Speaker 1: most public schools stay remote amid another COVID search. And 374 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: while there's some hope that life will eventually go back 375 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: to normal, the continued isolation, the high unemployment rates, the 376 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: uncertainty of it all is taking a toll. It's bleak 377 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: for Telena's family too. Here's Cheryl. 378 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 6: Mom and I read were talking. Mom said, she's not 379 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 6: coming back. I just know it.

When she eventually reaches the parked 420 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: truck and trailer, they're deserted, no one is around, but 421 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 1: something else catches her nose. 422 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 11: She went to the area to where she thought the 423 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 11: truck was located the truck, walked up to the truck 424 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 11: and denoted the tag number on the truck and then 425 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 11: denoted that there was a foul odor came from the trailer, 426 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 11: and then observed a foul smelling thick lake wood pooled 427 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 11: in the floor of the trailer. 428 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: The woman quickly memorizes the licensed plate number of the 429 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: truck and runs back to her house where she jots 430 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: it down. Then she calls local police to report what 431 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: she saw. A little while later, she spots the truck 432 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: and the trailer leave. Inside, she sees a driver and 433 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: a passenger. She waits all day for the police to 434 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: show up, but she never sees them. Six months pass 435 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: it's the day before Christmas. The weather is nice, and 436 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 1: the woman decides to stretch her legs. She goes walking 437 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: in the same area down Woody Lane where she saw 438 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: the suspicious truck and trailer. Back then, at the height 439 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: of summer, the trees had been full and the forest 440 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: thick with brush. But now in winter, the trees have 441 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: shed their leaves and she can see much further into 442 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: the bare forest. Peering into the distance, she spots a large, white, 443 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: almost square object. 444 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: She walks over to it. 445 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 11: The same witness was walking in the woods and came 446 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 11: upon a wide box top fraser with a lid type shit. 447 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: The freezer is wrapped in duct tape. The woman doesn't 448 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: open it. Instead, she goes home and tells her husband 449 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: what she found, but it's Christmas Eve, so they wait 450 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: to call the police until after the new year. Eventually, 451 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: in the middle of January, a deputy comes out to 452 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: take a look. The woman accompanies him down Woody Lane 453 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: and into the forest. They approach the white freezer. The 454 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: deputy throws back the lid. A face a human skull 455 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: stares back at him. 456 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 11: They discovered what they believed at that time to be 457 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 11: human remains inside the fraser. The Arkansas State Medical Examiner 458 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 11: accepted jurisdiction of the remains and took possession of the 459 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 11: fraser and conducted an autopsy. On January nineteenth, twenty twenty one, 460 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 11: Wider County Sheriff's Office received a tent over report of 461 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 11: identification from the Arkansas State Medical Examiner, identifying there were 462 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 11: human remains as Toulena Galloway and classified the manner of 463 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 11: death as homicide. 464 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: It was my son's birthday and we went out to 465 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 2: dinner at Fish Jale.

And the reason, of course, 515 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 6: was because the following day it was going to be 516 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 6: made public and they did not want us to be 517 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 6: at all surprised or you know, shocked or traumatized by 518 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 6: what came out publicly.
