1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Previously on Death and Deceit in Alliance.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: I know you have no idea who I am, but

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: I have some interesting things that we've learned about Givan's

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: murder through the years.

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 3: I know that someone as close as you you had

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 3: to have had a million thoughts.

7
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 4: Run through your head and wondering who could have done.

8
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 5: This to her?

9
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 6: Who was there?

10
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 7: Who could possibly know something?

11
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 8: They're an officer that lived near here, in one of

12
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 8: these houses close.

13
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 6: I don't want to get into all that. I mean,

14
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 6: like I said, this is the end of this conversation.

15
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 7: I know you've got family and law enforcement right, Yes.

16
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 6: Mister Jenkins is a captain there.

17
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 7: Well, hey, I gotta go.

18
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 6: You guys have a great day. Every time we'd reference police,

19
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 6: that would shut.

20
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: It down, I'm talking shit.

21
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 5: I'm done.

22
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: Came by one time threatened to split my throat.

23
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: I've met the killer and I know where he is,

24
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: and I suspect he's still killing. And yes he's a cop.

25
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: This is Death and Deceit and Alliance, a real time

26
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: investigation into whether David Thorn killed Yvonne Lane. I'm Maggie Freeling.

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: When I first learned about David Thorne's conviction, I'd really

28
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: only heard surface details about the woman at the heart

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: of the story. I knew Yvonne Lane had five kids.

30
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: I knew she was pretty and fun, but I didn't

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: know a lot about her life. David spoke of her

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: in glowing.

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 6: Terms anytime I was with her. She was always great

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 6: with the kids, and the house was always clean.

35
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: They were always pad But as I dug deeper, my

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: understanding of this twenty six year old woman started to evolve.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: She was complicated, of course we all are, but Yvonne

38
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: was more than most. She adored her children, yet by

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: their own accounts, she was sometimes abusive. She allegedly sold

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: sex for money, and yet, from what I can gather,

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: also wanted to be a good Jehovah's witness in the

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: eyes of her religious parents. Confused, I circled back to

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: David a few months into my investigation. He agreed, and

44
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: he added, yeah, he hadn't told the full truth about

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Yvonne when I first asked, because he didn't want to

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: quote besmirch her. It's tricky to talk about someone when

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: they're dead. Nothing Yvonne did could have justified her death,

48
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: and I want to be clear again. Exploring her activity

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: is not victim blaming their facts about a high risk

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: lifestyle an important part in trying to figure out who

51
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: was responsible for her murder if not David, and so

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: David says he didn't talk much about the qualities in

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: her that people might negatively judge. But to understand a murder,

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: you have to understand the victim. Police know this, of course.

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: That's why one of the first questions they try to

56
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: answer in a homicide is is there anyone who would

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: want the person dead? Most homicides are at the hands

58
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: of someone the victim knows, so it's an obvious starting point.

59
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, this vicious crime didn't seem like

60
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: the work of a hit man. It seemed personal, rageful, messy. Yet,

61
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: according to the case file in Yvonne's murder, investigators in

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: the case didn't bother interviewing a lot of the people

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: closest to her. There's no records of interviews with her

64
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: sisters or her father. We only know of her mother, Tanya,

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: speaking to the police, as well as a young woman who,

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: as far as Tanya knew, was Yvonne's closest friend.

67
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 9: Reading your parents impact your name was given us as

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 9: Yvonne one of Yvon's bestranger.

69
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 6: You've had any information we might get the states, Well,

70
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 6: whatever you keep post.

71
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: This is an interview with a twenty nine year old

72
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: woman named Liz, conducted by detectives Samson and Mucklow on

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: April second, nineteen ninety nine. It's one of the few

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: interviews on File with people in Yvonne's life. According to Liz,

75
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: Yvonne was a lot more complicated than she apparently seemed.

76
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: Yvonne met Liz through church. Liz was a member of

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: the same Jehovah's Witness Church as Yvonne's family.

78
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: Her dad Jaron ad to if I started Bible study

79
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 5: with her to help for try to get her life

80
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 5: on track with you know, try and straighten her life

81
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 5: out and really hard Shoin and from Eric going up

82
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 5: to jail and having portrait and she really needs an

83
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 5: en porridgement in health and with Melan a tent straight

84
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 5: down photo and well.

85
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: They Liz said, she met Yvaughn in nineteen ninety seven.

86
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: So we studied for eight months and she really would

87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 5: for Gredden and you want to children, and during that

88
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: time when she would confide and I'd go there on

89
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 5: Wednesday night, Edith walk and you know we talked about

90
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 5: hour and then week.

91
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: Fetty, Liz said. Yvaughn mostly talked about her relationship with Eric.

92
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: Eric even joined their study session. A few times.

93
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 5: She would be to me that she wanted to marry her,

94
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 5: and she told him the only the only way that

95
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 5: she would marry him is that she wanted the fain

96
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: thing as her. He wanted him straighten up. But during

97
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: that time she wanted him to study the Bible also,

98
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 5: and during that time she wanted to quick flop and

99
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: you know, went free with him and was really trying

100
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 5: to do, you know, what was right, and she would

101
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: want him to do what was right too.

102
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: Liz told a simil her account of Yvonne and Eric's

103
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: relationship to those we'd heard before. She was really into him,

104
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: but he was troubled and that trouble spilled into the relationship.

105
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 5: But then you know, she can't be in the parts

106
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 5: before and I don't know if you know about that.

107
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 5: And he's very violent with her hand, very violent champing.

108
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: This matches, But investigative reporter Duayne Pullman had told us

109
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: that Eric was angry and rageful. We've tried to reach

110
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: out to Eric multiple times through different means, and so

111
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: far have had no luck. So the only information we

112
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: have about Eric and Yvonne is what others have said.

113
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: Liz also said Yvonne told her stories that reveal a

114
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: lot about Yvonne's personality.

115
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: And she'd tell me any story. I could not believe the

116
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 5: fed happened to her, Like one time she had come

117
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 5: any art film, she's putting it stack away and I

118
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 5: towards the evening and she said, she told me that

119
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 5: a tall man putting an antique jewelry into pocket. And

120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: so she went out of the court and said, you know,

121
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: couldn't go, don't get out of here. Well did she

122
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 5: believe he said that? And said, aren't you afraid of

123
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: getting hurt? You know? She said, if you don't, let

124
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 5: somebody know that, but you're not afraid of them, and

125
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: to contect them, she said, then we'll come back in

126
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: the middle of the night to fill whatever else you have.

127
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 5: A jolia, I find her number five, but she fetched you.

128
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: Then the man from down the street from for and

129
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 5: she knew been doing the drug dealing.

130
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: This isn't the first time we've heard that Yvonne was fearless,

131
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: maybe to a fault.

132
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 5: I remember her trying saying last Pheer said somebody she

133
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: heard somebody robbed the door and stole a part a

134
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 5: cigarette and loft it at her door, and you know,

135
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 5: and I'm like, why why did somebody do? That's like,

136
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 5: I don't know. And I met you sitting stories and

137
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 5: unders that thought that she didn't fabricate the things that

138
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 5: had story. But then you know, I don't know that

139
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: just being odd for but you know, I guess your

140
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: association through and around. I guess she said, coming fact

141
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: like that all the time, Oh Bob, know, you know,

142
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: being afraid grand darents coming in and jolly no night

143
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: and being fat. It to me that both shocking, and.

144
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: I thought this tidbit was interesting, Liz wondering why these

145
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: things could happen to Yvonne, and then she said, well,

146
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: I guess it's her associations. Although Liz never admits to

147
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: knowing specifics, it seems like she sent the kind of

148
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: crowd Yvonne ran with, wasn't studying the Bible on weekends.

149
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 5: And of course you want being a spear with that

150
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 5: she want. I mean, she was doing little tiny personally,

151
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 5: but boy, she feared nothing, you know, and she's like, hey,

152
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: okay whatever.

153
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: Despite Yvonne's mother saying she thought Liz and Yvonne were close,

154
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: Liz said her friendship with Yvonne was pretty short lived.

155
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: After studying, they mostly lost touch.

156
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: The path with eight months. I really don't know any

157
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 5: personal information. I know it's what happened last year in Night,

158
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: Night made the Stormy.

159
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: After eight months of Bible study together, Liz saw Yvonne

160
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: here and there, but they didn't really catch up. Liz

161
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: didn't know much about Yvonne's personal life besides Eric. Detectives

162
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: asked her about David, and she didn't know much.

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 10: You don't know, no, I don't know who's good. Like

164
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 10: I said, it hadn't chable boy. You know, if that

165
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 10: dad hadn't really talked to her fall, you.

166
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 5: Know, very.

167
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 9: Would expressed any kindac staring about it, it might have

168
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 9: been different.

169
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 5: Like said, she didn't frank any sorry, and she seemed

170
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 5: happy you fitting an addressed to the memorial.

171
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: So Liz lost touch with Yvonne, which makes it interesting

172
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: to me that Yvonne's mother named Liz as her daughter's

173
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: best friend, clearly even though her mother still saw Yvonne

174
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: all the time she was raising Yvon's first child. She

175
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: didn't know much about what was going on with her.

176
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: Danny John and I wanted to see if we could

177
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: find out what Yvonne's life was like during those final months,

178
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: so we found another friend to him.

179
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 6: I don't associate with him.

180
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 7: I don't approve the things he does.

181
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, hello, it's Danny.

182
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 6: Are you Pam? Pam, I'm Danny John. I'll grab a chair.

183
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 8: You sit down in the comfy chair. No, no, go ahead.

184
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: One of the first things we did in Alliance was

185
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: to track down a woman named Pam, who had come

186
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: up in police interviews as someone Yvonne was close with.

187
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: She's also done media interviews about Yvonne. However, it's important

188
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: to note that they did have a falling out about

189
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: a year before Yvonne's death. Yvonne quote beat the crap

190
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: out of Pam for stealing her purse. Pam said she

191
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: was on drugs and it wasn't a proud moment for her.

192
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: And yet it appears that even though others mentioned Pam

193
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: to the cops as well as the falling out, the

194
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: police never interviewed her either as a suspect in Yvonne's

195
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: murder or as one of her closest friends.

196
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry I have to talk about.

197
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get a sure on my boat. I used

198
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 6: to admire how she.

199
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: Did her on her Pam said she used to live

200
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: next to Yvonne's parents and knew yvon since she was

201
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: a kid. Pam would have been a couple of decades

202
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: older in her forties when Yvonne was murdered.

203
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 6: She's like my little daughter.

204
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 8: So what how long have you known her?

205
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 6: I'm to get over there.

206
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 8: And so you're talking about next to where she grew up,

207
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 8: that her parents show had daughter. Okay, so you had

208
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 8: known her since if you knew her in the seventies,

209
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 8: she was born in seventy two, so I knew well.

210
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: I knew her long way at Pam seemed to know

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: a lot of things about Yvonne that Yvonne maybe would

212
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: have been uncomfortable telling. Liz, a strict Jehovah's witness, Yvonne

213
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: revealed that all was not easy at home, and it

214
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: wasn't just conflicts about the church. She talked to Pam

215
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: about some behavior that made her uncomfortable and even made

216
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: her want to stay away Allegedly, it was a complicated

217
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: household to say the least. John and Danny asked Pam

218
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: if she was aware of Yvonne's soliciting money for sex.

219
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: Pam said she only heard after the fact, but there

220
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,119
Speaker 1: was some information. Pam did say she knew.

221
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 6: But I never known Yvonne do what she did.

222
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 9: What I heard would about life, but I know she

223
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 9: had trouble with cops and she would.

224
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 6: Day in a cop.

225
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: This was the first time we'd heard from someone that

226
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: Yvonne had specifically told them she was seeing a cop.

227
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 9: You were dating a cop or she didn't tell me

228
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 9: who it was and I didn't want to know, So.

229
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 6: You never knew which cop she was.

230
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 4: So she was dating one willingly, yes, and you don't.

231
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,239
Speaker 6: Remember who that was. She didn't tell me, Oh, okay, okay,

232
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 6: she didn't tell me.

233
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: But Pam did seem to know about something else you

234
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: were wondering, and she probably tried to.

235
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 5: Black the daddy.

236
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 4: Was that something that you could see her doing, like

237
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: blackmailing to get a little money.

238
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 6: Or something.

239
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 7: To keep it quiet?

240
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, or who's the baby dad would have been? They

241
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 6: wanted to keep it quiet.

242
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Allegedly, Yvonne had a habit of telling guys she was

243
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: pregnant and getting money from them. I asked David about this,

244
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: Did she ever tell you about shaking people down?

245
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 6: I knew that that's kind of something that she did before.

246
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 9: I knew that she would tell people that she was

247
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 9: pregnant and then asked for money for an abortion. That's

248
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 9: how she would send money to Eric when he was

249
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 9: in the joint, because she was in and out and

250
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 9: so often.

251
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: And the shakedown scenario isn't just from David and Pam.

252
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: It also came from the mouth of one of the

253
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: detectives on Yvonne's case. According to investigative journalist Duyne Pullman.

254
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 7: As a detective who handled the case, I was kind

255
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 7: of surprised.

256
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 6: He even mad.

257
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: Dweene met with Detective John Leech at a restaurant during

258
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: his investigation. According to Dwayne, this is what happened when

259
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: they sat down. So you're at a restaurant and he

260
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: just says this to you, Yeah, in a sit down.

261
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 6: I don't know what the hell we were I didn't.

262
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 7: I don't even think I ate. I was like, this

263
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 7: is really weird. Without any context, just blurts out that some.

264
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 6: Or had gotten a hold of his wife. I don't

265
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 6: use that term.

266
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 7: He did gotten a hold of his wife, tried to

267
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 7: shake it, to try to blackmail him, shake him down,

268
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 7: And I said, who else could that be? Because Yvonne

269
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 7: had done that? According to people I had talked to before.

270
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: We haven't talked much about Detective John Leach, but Detective

271
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Leach was at the murder scene with detectives Mucklow and

272
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: Samson and was with them when they conducted some key interviews,

273
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: including the one that led to Joe Wilkes's confession. And

274
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: if you've been wondering who the cop was that George

275
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Hale said he identified leaving Yvonne's house the morning of

276
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: her murder. George said he identified a cop who looked

277
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: just like Leech in the line up he was given.

278
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: And because of this, Detective Leech was always interesting to Duyne.

279
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not saying that Leech had anything to

280
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 7: do with this. I want you to be clear on that.

281
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 7: I am landing on probably not, but you know, it

282
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 7: did kind of project a motive for covering up things

283
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 7: and trying to make it go away. That's what I

284
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 7: just took away.

285
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 6: From all that.

286
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I had speculated earlier in the season that based

287
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: on the amount of corruption in the Alliance Police Department,

288
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: it was possible the cops had a reason to cover

289
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: up Yvonne's murder. But now is there even more motive

290
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: to make it go away? Besides a potential drug connection

291
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: to the cops and allegedly sleeping with the victim? Was

292
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: Yvonne shaking someone down? Was it a cop? Did that

293
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: kill her? Did another cover it up for his buddy

294
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: in blue? Maybe it was drug related, like Jeremy said.

295
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: I asked David about all of this, Like he mentioned,

296
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: he said he knew about the shakedowns while they were dating,

297
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: but there was a lot about Yvonne, he said, he

298
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 1: didn't learn until after she died. So did you know

299
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: about Yvonne dancing?

300
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: She told me that she had danced before.

301
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then I guess she was going to two

302
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 9: little clubs or something like that, kind of on the side,

303
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 9: after her and I had already broken up. It's like

304
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 9: three phases that I know of her life, you know

305
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 9: what I mean?

306
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Is that like shocking to you? Are you?

307
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 5: Like?

308
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe now you've processed it, but was this like?

309
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: Who the hell was this person?

310
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 6: I was dating.

311
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: Then David told me something we had never heard before.

312
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 6: At the time, she told me that she was going

313
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 6: to a convention.

314
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 9: And then later that's whenever I found out that that

315
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 9: was she was like a high end call girl.

316
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: David said she'd asked him to drive her to the

317
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: train station to go to neighboring states Indianna, Illinois, West

318
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: Virginia to work at conventions. What did you think she

319
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: was doing when she was going to the conventions?

320
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 9: She said something that she got an office job and

321
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 9: she was going to a convention for something.

322
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 6: I don't I don't recall what it was.

323
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 9: To be honest, it was only half paying attention to

324
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 9: what it was that she was even talking about for

325
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 9: a job. Even whenever she picked up a job, she

326
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 9: never stayed anywhere for very long because something always come up.

327
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 6: With the kid.

328
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, because whatever she was telling everybody, it had to

329
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 9: be some variation and it couldn't be the same. So

330
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 9: I don't know how she kept her life and a.

331
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: Look for real, Again, I'm not shaming Yvonne. It's incredible.

332
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: I have to keep saying that because even just talking

333
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: about sex work makes people think someone is shaming. But

334
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: why is it assumed to be shameful. We don't know

335
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: that it was for Yvonne, but for our purposes, it's

336
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: important to note that if she was a dancer or

337
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: an escort or a sex worker, that is notoriously dangerous work,

338
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: and that is because of the stigmas around it that

339
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: these folks often don't feel comfortable reporting. So the more

340
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: we investigate, the more people we find saying these rumors

341
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: were true. That broadens the suspect pool, which becomes even

342
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: larger if Yvonne was traveling to other states. Things are

343
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: starting to get messier than we expected. So we decided

344
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: to talk to another person who may know what was

345
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: going on in Yvonne's life.

346
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so has has anybody talked to you about Yvonne

347
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 4: in the last few years?

348
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: Order sister of Linda was doing.

349
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: This is Vi, Eric's uncle. Linda is Eric's mom.

350
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: So your sister is okay, So you knew Yvonne pretty

351
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: well then, yeah, pretty decent.

352
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, she seems like a complicated person. She was in

353
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 4: a lifestyle that apparently.

354
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: Was you know, I used to different kind of women.

355
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 6: My mom was real sweet.

356
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: Sisters and stuff. I wasn't used to that, Like a

357
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 3: little bit of deevs. Dark side people. She was up

358
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 3: ryde and I tried to be there at poor because

359
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 3: she was my nephew's girl on aging and he had

360
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: some dark sides too.

361
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: He also said she was often on pills, like Jeremy

362
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: had mentioned, and I only bring that up again not

363
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: to shame anyone's use or addictions, but to note the

364
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: potential drug connection and Yvonne's state of mind. And speaking

365
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: of her state of mind, we asked Vic about something

366
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: else we had heard.

367
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: She had come to you saying she had pissed off

368
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 3: the wrong person at around that saying went to your

369
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: mom's house looking for you is what it was.

370
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: Told us because she was in some kind of trouble

371
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: and she was wanting your help and said that she

372
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 4: had fucked with the wrong person.

373
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: She never got to me, and told me that Yvonne

374
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: supposedly sought Vic out for help, but Vic says Yvonne

375
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: never found him. However, this story does fit into what

376
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: we heard from Jeremy that she was frantic just a

377
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: few days before she was murdered. So did she kiss

378
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: someone off and if so.

379
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 6: Who.

380
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: So?

381
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 4: One other thing that we hear, and you know, we

382
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 4: have no idea this is true or not, but that

383
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: she was, you know, involved with some number of police officers,

384
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 4: a couple, you know, two, three, four, whatever it was,

385
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 4: and that she would shake them down essentially like maybe

386
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 4: they were married and then she would shake them down,

387
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 4: said I'm want to tell your wife or something. Yeah,

388
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: you wouldn't put it past her at that time. Yeah, okay, okay.

389
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 4: Did you hear much that she was involved with a

390
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 4: lot of men for money.

391
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: That I didn't? You know, I couldn't really confirm that,

392
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 3: but I different times I drive through a line, sir,

393
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 3: and I'd see her. She got a little station waging car,

394
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: and I's he her pulled over a lot of different times,

395
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 3: like normal times talking to the police.

396
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 4: M Okay, were they pulling her over or was she

397
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 4: willingly just pulling over and talking to them?

398
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 3: Friends do you have?

399
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 4: Do you know any of those cops names that she

400
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 4: was friends with?

401
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: Oh there was one, okay she's talking about.

402
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 4: So she didn't ever say anything about being like romantically

403
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: or sexually involved with you.

404
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: Know, but like I told you, she has some dark side.

405
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: We're going to beat this cops name because he was

406
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: not formally mentioned as a suspect.

407
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 8: Wouldn't it happened when you first got wind that she

408
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 8: was dead?

409
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 6: What'd you think somebody in the place? Yeah, I don't know.

410
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 8: To be well, that's why we wanted to talk to you,

411
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 8: because we that this was true, that she came to

412
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 8: your mom almost desperate looking for you.

413
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, that makes to say who would have been that

414
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 6: mad at her?

415
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: Based on everything we heard in testimony, through interviews and

416
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: police records, no one wants said David was mad at

417
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: Yvonne or ever had been mad or violent with her.

418
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: At trial, Yvonne's dad testified that they had a good

419
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: relationship and remember even the child support agent said everything

420
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: seemed fine with them, but we will find out that

421
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: not everything is as it seems on the surface, coming

422
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: up on deaf and deceit in alliance.

423
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 4: Somebody was in that house then it was a It

424
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: sounded to me like a woman's voice.

425
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: And I really don't want to say anything.

426
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 6: Why is that?

427
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 7: Because I'm tired of being dragged in the middle of it.

428
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 6: If if you're not in the middle, oh, I have been.

429
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 5: For the last two years. Why did you find me here?

430
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 4: So you remember seeing him?

431
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 5: My boyfriend, my ex husband now but my boyfriend at

432
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 5: the time we saw him there that night.

433
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 4: If Joe's giving her permission so to speak to talk

434
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 4: with us, you would think Joe's not worried about what

435
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 4: she's going to tell us.

436
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: I truly, honestly believe you didn't do it.

437
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 6: I know David wanted.

438
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: Him to, and I was under the impression that Dave

439
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: was going.

440
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: To pay him to death and deceit. In Alliance is
