17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: York getting assurances from Frank Molten and other high level

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: gangsters that he and his family were safe, but he

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: had to get back to Atlanta to reassure them because

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: the newspapers were telling a different story altogether. Around that

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: same time, Hudson and Amos had received a tip about

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: an apartment used by the robbers before and after the heist.

23
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: The detectives got a search warrant and investigated the premises.

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 1: Here's j D with me in two thousand and two

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: as he recalls the details. We look at the parting,

26
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: but they are assembled, and I think they looking around

27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: who the parting was because we went to the part

28
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: then that night was day okay, and you see how

29
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: we are sitting out. Yeah, cigarette out of the sugar

30
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: and cigure. Yeah, your looks all of a sudden lack

31
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: of black. We would have disappeared. The very things it

32
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: is like we did disappeared when you guys got there,

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: it looked like that. Yeah, was there still a cigarette burning? No? No,

34
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: well folded diapers and I'm pullded diapers, babies, baby backers

35
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: okay on the bed all right. That was on the

36
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: kicken table that was confuted fried chicken in place, partially eaten. Okay, drinks,

37
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: possive men high. I tracked the pope or somebody eating

38
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: month fiece off. A matter of fact, when you're in

39
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: the holes, steel full of drivers acts ut on the table.

40
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: It just last which sharps me that when the hustle

41
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: came down Jackson Parkway and tried to get into proper,

42
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: they looked back to when they saw him and got

43
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: a macau and took off. Okay, okay, so you think

44
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: that all that stuff that you were just describing was

45
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: left from that night, the night of the robbery. Oh yeah,

46
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: how we heard Mr Hudson. That's like they just disappeared.

47
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: They saw it, and then I think it's their hell

48
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: get Those guys have known how to get into the

49
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: department to the right, but they went down to the

50
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: wrong street. Gut j D told me that the robbers

51
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: had a lookout on the walkway outside of the Stash apartment.

52
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: He would have seen any cars turning from High Tower

53
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Road into the parking lot directly below them. Once the

54
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: lookout spotted the gangsters, the robbers quickly grabbed the loot

55
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: and ran down the back staircase to their getaway cars

56
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: and sped away on Jackson Parkway. Imagine the panic and

57
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: chaos of that scene. And they went on and read

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: the at least one because Rick and Ridable right for

59
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: the black tip, and they took off with the money,

60
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: and they would go up again when I write. At

61
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: the apartment, Hudson found James Henry Hall's driver's license and

62
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: bed sheets that matched pillow cases which were found at

63
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: the crime scene at Handy Drive. These pillow cases were

64
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: discovered in the duffel bag recovered by the police and

65
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 1: were used to collect and haul the cash and jewelry

66
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: stolen from the party goers. Here's more about the investigation

67
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: from j D. Let me get back to this thing.

68
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: You've talked to You've made him, and I'm sorry you've

69
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: You've talked to this guy for a guy has spilled

70
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: his guys, and it's thank you to keep him in prisident,

71
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 1: to keep him alive. The apartment has obviously been left,

72
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: everything just sitting there because ran I haven't good way

73
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: and I got panicked they were, and now you're on

74
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: the news trying to convince basically the nation and the

75
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: city the Chicken man wasn't responsible for this, to keep

76
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: him alive, even though the Atlanta Fleet and the FBI

77
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: are saying that he did and was responsible. See, I

78
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: would not ever talked to the FBI because I knew

79
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: they were gonna try to take credit anything we did.

80
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: And they started stuff about some guy that called it

81
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: bought some guys in Jackson Villa who was opposed of

82
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: committed to rob. And then there were some guys out

83
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: of apronment him fbick n. What they gave me, the

84
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: pictures and everything. These are the guys. We got good information.

85
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: They committed to right and I said bullshit. It seemed

86
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: like they were trying to commence us to They had

87
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: some information out at Baltimore that somebody at the baltimoreket it,

88
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: I said, bullshit. Anytime there's a high flow file case

89
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: in this country, FBI runs by in Hollis at you

90
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: sit around and listen to what you work and try

91
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: to get in on your interviews. He runs backers office,

92
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: right and right, a bit of port that he's done,

93
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: and when you lock up, somebody d writes his quote

94
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: back who he called. Okay, the paper shuffles, you know,

95
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: and most place don't I have thing to do with them,

96
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: because they surrounded. They's they they still just get cases.

97
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: So the high profile case attracted them, and they came

98
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: with all these theories, you know, their profiles and all

99
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: these lab explace, all these experts to have all of

100
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: the game. They played again, those fellow dollarsm But they

101
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: don't they you know, because they this what the pup

102
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: is to. J D did not have fond memories of

103
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: working with the FBI. In fact, he didn't seem to

104
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: respect them either, even though they were all over this case.

105
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: J D kept the details of the investigation close to

106
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: the vest. He and Joe Amos continue to pursue all leads,

107
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: waiting for breaking the case. Nothing happened for a while,

108
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: and amazon daughter got Keith. Remember Emerson Dorsey. He was

109
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: born in Atlanta and moved to New York City about

110
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: a decade before the robbery. He became a drug dealer

111
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: and a stick up man, and he was driven out

112
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: of New York by a combination of pressure from Shirley Chisholm,

113
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: the New York state representative, and the black mafia he

114
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: had somehow piste off. J D believed that Emerson put

115
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: together the crew who pulled off the heist as a

116
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: means for getting back in New York's black mafia. But

117
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: in the end they got to him. He was keeled

118
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: at his home and they would investigating, and so I

119
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: had his interests. I called out and talked to the

120
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: investigator basic over that this still sus says. She was

121
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: talking about alone and someone knocked on the door, and

122
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: he said, hold on a minute, baby, somebody's on the door.

123
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: They the phone down. I went to the door and yo.

124
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: The said come in man, I'm glad to see you, amte.

125
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: But while come on the end and uh, Baton told us,

126
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: and she's up random as here. I talked to you later.

127
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: Well later he was found shot in the head. You know.

128
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: One was found cut. She was cut across her rest,

129
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: across her stomach. Nice steps too, nice stuff those sides.

130
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: She was dead. What said means that faith talk at

131
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: Garth right and made him tell about the rock at once.

132
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Pep told about the round to kill? Where did that

133
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: take place? In his home? Indicator georgan indicator Jorge. So

134
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: they found his body shot and her body light and

135
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: sat in the next they actually found the body to

136
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: get up okay in his own Here are some of

137
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: the specifics from an Atlantic Constitution article. On March five,

138
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: Dorsey had been shot in the back of the head

139
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: and above the right eye. He had also been slashed

140
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: across the face with a knife. His girlfriend was Rachel Worthy.

141
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: She was found with four butcher knives buried in her body,

142
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: one between the shoulder blades, one in the neck, and

143
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: two in her chest. When relatives called about the bodies

144
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: after stopping at the house, police noted that they'd been

145
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: dead for some time. Police also said that Dorsey's Cadillac

146
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: was missing. Here's what j D thought, so amazed that

147
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: you got a son was forced to pay us somebody

148
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: and when he told they killed and I think they

149
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: had to data babill Baby Humphred. Baby Ray Humphrey was

150
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: one of the robbers we told you about from the

151
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: last episode. We believe he was working under fast Eddie

152
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: Parker's command, but j D thinks it was Emerson Dorsey

153
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: who recruited him at Wesley Merritt's pool Hall, along with

154
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: another hustler named Charles Lee. This was his response when

155
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: I asked him where Baby Ray Humphrey and Charles Lee

156
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: were killed in Atlanta somewhere and had shot Okay and

157
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: had at about the ton of the sty and Sharley

158
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: nobody remember what over somewhere around the stadium. This is

159
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: from the Atlantic Constitution, March nineteen seventy one, about three

160
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: weeks after Emerson Dorsey was killed, Baby Ray Humphrey had

161
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: been shot in the left temple execution style and had

162
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: been dead for several days. When police entered his apartment.

163
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Baby Ray had a six page arrest record, including recent

164
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: narcotics charges. In addition to the thirty five thousand j

165
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: D mentioned, about two hundred thousand dollars worth of heroin

166
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: was also found stashed in a motorcycle in his apartment.

167
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: We've been unable to find much information about Charles Lee's murder,

168
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: and when I spoke to j D again, I learned

169
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: why I know bad it was killing there. Nobody gave

170
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: a damn about black killings, a powerful statement that still

171
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: resonates in today's society. Baby Ray Humphrey had thirty five

172
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: dollars cash and two hundred thousand dollars in heroin, and

173
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: his killers didn't even look for it. Charles Lee was

174
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: killed and no one seemed to notice, least of all

175
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: the newspapers. We can't find anything about his murder. Bookie

176
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: Brown was dead. We think Lillian Dabney was killed with him.

177
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: So the robbers still on the run were James Henry Hall,

178
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: McKinley Rogers, and fast Eddie Parker. We assumed they were

179
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: on their way to New York to connect with Richard

180
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: Wheeler and split the take. Here's Chicken Man and j

181
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: D discussing the huge obstacle they would face to fence

182
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: the jewelry they had stolen, all the jury stuff that

183
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: were taken. It weren't gonna be long for a come

184
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: up somebody. Someone're gonna surface somewhere. Uh, that would indicate

185
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: somebody as I'm gonna do it because it took some

186
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: brains and watches and women. Julry was cost of out

187
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: of money. So now what pawn broker, so running the risk.

188
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: I've given somebody some money on some jewelry and the

189
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: guy who told him a jar to come to that punch, Yeah,

190
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna pay him with you. You're gonna take his goddamn

191
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: j you know, send his boys that to take his

192
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: goddamn Jerry. Don't take his mine. If you didn't like it,

193
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: if you didn't like the stuff was too hot. Fin

194
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: about the day it was too hot, and that they

195
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: couldn't do anything with this step. Okay, that's what doesn't

196
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: That's one of the things to the next meet. J

197
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: D knew it was useless looking at pawn shops for

198
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: the stolen jewelry. No pawnbroker would touch loot that hot.

199
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: There as an article at which I would reported that.

200
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: I told him, then they better come and find me.

201
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: Give up. But I think's got a guy. J D

202
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: searched for the robbers, what the black moth, It did

203
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: the same. He wanted them alive and in jail. But

204
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: these gangsters like Frank Moten wanted them dead. It wasn't

205
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: about the money, it was about retribution. Here's j D

206
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two sharing details about where they

207
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: went after they high tailed it out of Atlanta. Okay,

208
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: remember Tea, what happened? Mean Okay, I said they they

209
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: might go to Ester the dead. Okay, they go to

210
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans, they dead. Miami, go to Mami they dead. Okay,

211
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: go to Birmingham, they dead. So we're saying if they

212
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: got way able to come to sign them and so

213
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: we had decided they were going to go to the

214
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: Jatil Islands and see if they said if I was

215
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: they might go to Jack and Math for a while.

216
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Would you be that they didn't go to not to

217
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: but they went to Assigns. No, they humber to uh Brunswick.

218
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: George Brunswick, Brunswill is us right here there. A business

219
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: owner in Brunswick apparently became suspicious when McKinley Rogers and

220
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: other members in his crew spent wads of cash in

221
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: the shop, so he called the cops. Local police found

222
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: out that McKinley Rogers and James Henry Hall used to

223
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: be classmates in Brunswick, and when they heard about the

224
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: robbery in Atlanta, they called j d's departments. JO and

225
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: I had started to go to JACKI al Allden and

226
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: look for because he said that if they smiled, they

227
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: went to someone at jackil Allend to someplace go hide.

228
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: I put well, and the truth matter is they did.

229
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: They went to Brunswick, Georgia, because that's near west. Some

230
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: of the guys who robbers lived grew up. I mean,

231
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: and I'll sit in office one day and this guy

232
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: called a corporate from the Brunswick Police Department called and

233
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: said that he read about their robbery in the Atlanta

234
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: newspaper and that there were about ten people at the

235
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: Holiday End who stayed that for about a week along

236
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't come out. We're not sure who else

237
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: joined McKinley Rogers James Henry Hall and fast Eddie Parker

238
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: when they left Atlanta. But we do know they were

239
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: conspicuous when they wouldn't allow the cleaning crew to enter

240
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: any of their rooms at the hotel in Brunswick made it.

241
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: I think it's that eight rooms for five it was

242
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: five eight rooms, okay, not a man. And they went

243
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: out on a bank breath. They brought on a verything

244
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: and Brunswick go everything okay, and that when they at

245
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: that food, the servants had to send a food at

246
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: the door and leave they were dead and get it. Okay,

247
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: it wouldn't come out. But when they came out, they

248
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: brought up all the bubec and they left town. After

249
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: McKinley Rogers and his crew aroused suspicion in Brunswick, Georgia,

250
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: they decided to move on to a different city. According

251
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: to the Brunswick newspaper, two cops pulled them over on

252
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: their way out of town and got their identification, but

253
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: for some reason they let them go. J D and

254
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Joe Amos were about to head to Brunswick, but they

255
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: got a call from the local police who informed them

256
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: that the robbers were gone and it would be a

257
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: wasted trip they went not on seventeen and a couple

258
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: of cards, one of which was the red product of

259
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: the back time wait, one of which was the what

260
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: was the red product for the black croc? Who that?

261
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I guess In the meantime, I understand that about his mother,

262
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: A car riders his mother house. In one of Robin

263
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: Goorde it was a rape in the restroom got him birth.

264
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: The red Pontiac with the black top is the same

265
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: one j D described leaving the stash house, and one

266
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: witness said they saw the same car at the robbery

267
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: scene on Handy Drive. After the robbers left Brunswick, it

268
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: was a few months before they were seen again. Here's

269
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: j D and uh. Nobody dreamed these foods we'll go

270
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: to New York. But they did. And that's when I

271
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: said they're dead. They go to New York. They're dead

272
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: because they rode to Black Markeia in the Black Marpie

273
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: con killer. I got a call about three or four

274
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. Guys say, lieutenant, yeah for your

275
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: boys just got killed. J D talked me through the

276
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: details of how McKinley Rogers and James Henry Hall were killed.

277
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: He found out there was a third man in the

278
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: car named David Phillips. We have no information about him

279
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: except he was from Brunswick, Georgia as well. We don't

280
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: know if he was involved in the robbery or just

281
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: picked up at some point. We also don't know how,

282
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: when or where these guys split from fast Eddie Parker.

283
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: Here I am with j Dam food and drove in

284
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: front of oven Battles please quick as please? What look

285
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: still okay? And uh stop? So they go in front

286
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: of this liquor store in New York. Is it in

287
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: harm Boklyn? I got it down there? They drive in

288
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: baby Bam. They're all shot dead. They stopped. They going

289
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: to the buscle base. They did right, but the shot dead? Ye? Wrong?

290
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: Please right? And the shot that and so this is

291
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: why moving a heavy In retrospect, it looks like the

292
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: robbers were partying and spending loads of cash in the

293
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: establishments of the gangsters they robbed, and word got out

294
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: quickly who and where they were. Looking back in my notes,

295
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the name j D just mentioned, Evan bin Um a

296
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: k a. Quickie, was the same name from an earlier

297
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: portion of my interview when j D asked me to

298
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: turn off the tape recorder. He only did that one time.

299
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember him telling me that he went to

300
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: visit Quickie in a fancy hotel suite in Atlanta just

301
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: after the robbery, and that the suite was lined with

302
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: bodyguards carrying assault rifles. I remember thinking how crazy it

303
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: was that j D went there alone and didn't seem

304
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: to care that all these guys were brandishing weapons. He

305
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: was only interested in information about the robbery. In any case,

306
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: it seems like Quickie was one powerful gangster. J D

307
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: called the NYPD when he learned about who was murdered

308
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. So I called the pretty anything about it.

309
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: So he's an excited dad. He had to talk to

310
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: me high new about the MURDI pla they knew it

311
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: went out of that business, and I would talk to

312
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: a New York company anyway. He has a New York

313
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: Cops the others day the drugness in the streets. Okay,

314
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: it's a strange world. You don't know who you're talking

315
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: about when you talk to the cop. This is a

316
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: recurring character trait j D exhibits over the years of

317
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: talking to him. He's passionately sure of himself and very

318
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: suspicious of everyone else. He surmises that the NYPD wanted

319
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: to talk to him about the murders because one of

320
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: their own had been at the heist. Andrew West, remember,

321
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: was one of only five people out of a hundred

322
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: or more to file a report with the Atlanta Police

323
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: after the robbery that night. West was a bodyguard for

324
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: one of the hustlers from New York. Many of these

325
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: gangsters had bodyguards. J D filled me in on more

326
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: details about how the robbers were killed and corrected some

327
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: of the media's misinformation about this incredible story. It's like

328
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: at times that journalists just didn't even care about the details. Here.

329
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: I am in two thousand and two surprised at the

330
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 1: facts j D is laid out for me. The research

331
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: my dad is done. According to him, these guys but Kenley,

332
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: James Houston and maybe one of the person were incited

333
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: on six accounts of whatever it is by the full

334
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: County grand jury by this attorney Lewis Late. Never happened.

335
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 1: These guys never invited there, so how did they? How

336
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: did the much said so they wouldn't they were never brought,

337
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: They couldn't be any would see them and maybe and

338
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: they okay. So those guys okay, and is that why

339
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: you told me it was a beautiful four people of

340
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: Warren and Roberts because I brought the bodies back down

341
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: rights got four peven one of abjority. The newspaper said

342
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: that Rogers and Hall were indicted along with Houston Hammond's

343
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: in late November nineteen seventy. Rogerson Hall were killed along

344
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: with Phillips on May ninety one, exactly seven months after

345
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: the robbery. In that time, Hayman's was arrested, charged and

346
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: convicted on possession of weapons. Rogers and Hall were running

347
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: from this indictment without even knowing it. Here's J. D.

348
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: Hudson as we quickly recap, we're the last linings took

349
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: place the robbery. The head down to Brunswick, they head

350
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: up seven. We would sit activity, engaged and when they

351
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: were killed. Okay, So they stopped in front of this

352
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: only the name again of the liquor store. Gentleman's name

353
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: quick Quickie is what's his full name? Evan ma JD

354
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: assumed that the last killings occurred in front of Evan

355
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: Bynham's place in Brooklyn, which would add to the long

356
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: list of dead robbers. Bookie Brown, Lillian Dabney, Baby Ray Humphrey,

357
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: Charles Lee, McKinley, Rogers and James Henry Hall. And since

358
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: Emerson Dorsey and this down woman had been murdered in Atlanta,

359
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: in his mind, the case was over. But what about

360
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: fast Eddie Parker, Richard Wheeler's enforcer. If gangsters like Evan

361
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: Bynum and Frank Moten, we're really that ruthless and they were,

362
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: there's no way they would ever stop searching. They would

363
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: ever stop hunting until everyone that was involved or responsible

364
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: for the robbery was dead. Fight Night is a joint
