1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Previously on Death and Deceit in Alliance. 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 2: Somebody was in that house then it was a It 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: sounded to me like a woman's voice. 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,959 Speaker 3: I really don't want to say anything. 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 4: Why is that? 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 3: Because I'm tired of being dragged in the middle of it. 7 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 5: If you're not in the middle, oh. 8 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 3: I have been for the last twenty two years. How 9 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 3: did you tell you to fight me here? 10 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: So you remember seeing him my boyfriend my. 11 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 3: Ex husband now, but my boyfriend at the time. 12 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: We saw him there that night. 13 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 2: If Joe's giving her permission so to speak, to talk 14 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: with us, you would think Joe's not worried about what 15 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 2: she's going to tell us. 16 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 5: I truly, honestly believe he didn't do it. I know 17 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 5: David wanted him to, and I was under the impression 18 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 5: that Dave was going to pay him to. 19 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: This is Death and Deceit in Alliance, a real time 20 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,319 Speaker 1: investigation into whether da Vid Thorn killed Yvonne Lane. I'm 21 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 1: Maggie Freeling. After months of investigating, all roads lead back 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: to Joe. Rose and Chris didn't change their statements. Alternate 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: suspects didn't pan out, but Joe confessed and said that 24 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: David Thorne was the mastermind and so that's where the 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: investigation has to go to prison. And to be clear, 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: I personally will not speak to Joe for this. As 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, the private investigators, John and Danny advised me 28 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: to let them do all the interviews. They say anything 29 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: I may say or ask a witness could taint the 30 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: investigation in the eyes of the law. I'm just here documenting. 31 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: So they wrote Joe and explained who they are and 32 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: what they're doing investigating yvon Lane's murder to find out 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: if David's claims of innocence are true, and we were 34 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: hopeful Joe would reply, but far from shore. Joe had 35 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: spoken in the past to Sue, David's wife, chief supporter 36 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: and lead investigator unofficially. Now from messages I've seen between 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: Sue and Joe and hearing all the interviews he's done 38 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: with Sue and other media, I really did not think 39 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: that Joe would be too happy to hear from anyone. Plus, 40 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: if you remember, by cooperating and confessing that he killed 41 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: Vonn himself and then by telling police that David had 42 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: hired him to kill her, he got a lesser sentence 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: than David thirty years with the possibility of parole. Joe 44 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: had already done twenty two years at this point, he 45 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: could be looking at freedom in twenty twenty nine. I 46 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: figured he would have no interest in all of this 47 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: getting brought up again. I thought he would want to 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: finish out his time and move on with his life. 49 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: Every time he speaks, his stories conflict, and I was 50 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: sure he was over it. In fact, I figured he 51 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: would actually send the investigators a nasty message back telling 52 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: them to fuck off or something if he even responded. 53 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: But neither of those things happened. Joe wrote back, eager 54 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: to talk and tell his story. So the guys worked 55 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: on setting up a legal visit, which proved to be 56 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: next to impossible in Ohio to get done quickly. So 57 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: we waited and waited, and while waiting, we couldn't waste 58 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: any more time, so we decided to track down other 59 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: key witnesses. Now, as you know, I've had to edit 60 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: interviews for time and clarity. You only get to hear 61 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: tidbits and pieces of what everyone says, like Joe. For example, 62 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: although I've played the key bits of Joe's interview, there 63 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: were small parts I left out to avoid confusion, and 64 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: one of those parts was actually not so small at all. 65 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: It was a huge bombshell I left until now. During 66 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: the interrogation, police asked Joe if he told anyone about 67 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: killing Yvonne Uncle sadammo Well be stung Shampeg. Joe said 68 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: he told his friend Samantha Peg that he murdered Yvonne. 69 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: Now I thought this was odd. He mentioned Sam and 70 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: not Rose and Chris, the couple he supposedly ran into 71 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: at the mall and told he was going to kill 72 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: a woman that night. So I was immediately skeptical was 73 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: this true? But police recorded an interview with Sam several 74 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: months after the murder, and we have that audio. 75 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 4: To day is Sunday, July eighteenth, nineteen ninety nine, at 76 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 4: the time of ten twenty nine hours. My name is detective, 77 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: but Sampson's Alliance fleets for me. Also in the room 78 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: is detecting Walliae Muckwell from the alliance splates part. 79 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: Sam Peg was Joe's best friend, in fact, one of 80 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: his only friends. They went to school together. 81 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 4: We got that great relationships. You can tell him anything, 82 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 4: usually talk back and forth with book. 83 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: And what Sam had to tell the police about her 84 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: best friend was damning. 85 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 4: And did you have a chance to talk alone with Joe? 86 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: Yes? 87 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 4: When was this. 88 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 6: At the end of the year, in between the eighteenth 89 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 6: and the twenty fifth, and Howard was to meet her 90 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 6: at that time. 91 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 4: How did you see it? 92 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 6: Pea? 93 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: He came that about it? 94 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 6: He Canada house and the kind of shook up a little. 95 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 6: But ja is next thing, We're gonna like it, and 96 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 6: wal calculated. 97 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: So later came around, all right. 98 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 6: Joe goes, I mean touch went wrong and go downstairs 99 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 6: and then yeah, and so went downstairs and goes, you 100 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 6: know my tray and Dave why her chalk about him? 101 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 6: He goes, well, if you had me feel the next wife? 102 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 6: And I asked him mine?

Yeah? 105 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 7: Okay, And she's, you know, saying that she was coerced 106 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 7: by police or forced in some way to outright live 107 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 7: about ever telling her that, then I'm gonna ask her 108 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 7: to sign an affidavit and make it legally binding and 109 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 7: see what she says. 110 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure she's gonna say that. 111 00:06:59,360 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 4: We'll see. 112 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: John and Danny wondered about the validity of her statement. 113 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: Now Sam has not spoken to anyone since her police 114 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: statement that we know of, and despite her seemingly damning allegation, 115 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: she did not testify at trial. However, she did testify 116 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: at the grand jury, which happened before trial, and for trial, 117 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: she was subpoenaed, but the police couldn't find her. However, 118 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: we were determined to do so. We heard from Sue 119 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: that Sam was still in the area. When Sue went 120 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: to speak with her years ago, she slammed the door 121 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: in her face, but based on Sam's social media she 122 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: was clearly still interested in the case. We got the 123 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: impression Sam was a no bullshit kind of person, street savvy, tough, 124 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: and we realized it might be even harder to get 125 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: Sam to open up than it was Chris. We had 126 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: to get her though, after all, she dropped this bombshell 127 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: on social media. 128 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: Really talked to her, but she wrote that comment. 129 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: She wrote a comment in twenty thirteen. She wrote on 130 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: some social media you a posts about she didn't think 131 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: Joe did it. 132 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: And Joe shouldn't have involved her, which is a really 133 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: weird statement. 134 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's really what we know about her, and 135 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: so the angle will be Listen, We know that you've 136 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: made posts since this conviction that you believe Joe's innocent, 137 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: and you know we're trying to figure that out, and 138 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 2: if he is, we're going to help him. So we'd 139 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: like to visit with you. 140 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: We went to the most current address for Sam. 141 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: I have a fine looking dog morning. Is Is Sam around? No, Samantha? 142 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,239 Speaker 4: Oh? 143 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 3: Does she live here? No, she hasn't looked here for 144 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: a long time. 145 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 6: Oh. 146 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: It turned out out it was her parents' house and 147 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: she hadn't lived there in a long time. They told 148 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: John and Danny that they remember it all and even 149 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: mortgaged their house to hire Sam a lawyer. Her parents 150 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: told the guys that when Sam got roped into all 151 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: of this by Joe, the police told her if she 152 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: knew anything, she had to tell them, threatening charges against her. 153 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: So we had to find out what Sam knew. Sam 154 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: wasn't there, but they gave us her address and we 155 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: went to find her. When we pull up, we saw 156 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: the car her parents told us she was driving, so 157 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: we knew she was probably there, and as John and 158 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: Danny were putting on their microphones next to the car, 159 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: someone resembling Sam's description exited the building and started walking 160 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: so they raced over. 161 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: Are you smarta baby? 162 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 8: Joe wilks, and she just doesn't go away, does it? 163 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 5: They do their spiel and I really don't want to 164 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 5: say anything. Why is that? 165 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: Because I'm tired of being dregged in the middle of it. 166 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 5: If you're not in the middle, oh, I have been 167 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 5: for the last twenty two years, really been going on. 168 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: But surprisingly, Sam says she'll speak on one condition. 169 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what you talked to Joe. You 170 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: let me see it, and if he says, go ahead 171 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: and talk, I'll talk. Okay. 172 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 9: But if he's your friend, right, so I understand what 173 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 9: I said. 174 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: No, No, you talked to Joe. 175 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 4: Okay. 176 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 3: Joe says, go ahead and I talk to me. You 177 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: let me know and I'll talk till Then. 178 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: She flashed a peace sign and started to walk away, 179 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: and that was it. She said we had to get 180 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: permission from Joe if she was going to talk to us. 181 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't the worst outcome. Joe said he was eager 182 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: to talk to us. We were just waiting for the 183 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: prison to cooperate. Maybe he'd also be okay with Sam talking. Still, 184 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: we were left pretty empty handed and feeling beaten down. 185 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: No Joe. No, Sam, But on our next trip, our 186 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: luck changed. 187 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the time for us. 188 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: Joe gave permission for Sam to speak with John and Danny. 189 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: You know, we've been looking at the case for months, 190 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: so we're not some of these folks that are coming 191 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: in and just trying to put something on TV that's 192 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 2: going to be Hey. 193 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 5: Time, pay investigators, I man, please, I mean it was 194 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 5: a full. 195 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 3: Out brawl when it first happened. 196 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, he came home from work. 197 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 3: My mom said, yeah, put the lawyer, I said, for 198 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 3: what she turns on TV. 199 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 5: And all than I'm like, oh my god. Yeah yeah. Yeah. 200 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: That's when Sam's parents mortgaged their house to afford a 201 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: lawyer for their daughter. 202 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: So you and Joe, oh, y'all, y'all were good friends 203 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: for a long time. 204 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, the mood was different from last time, less adversarial. 205 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: They talked about Joe. 206 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 9: We're not even sure he remembers exactly what did happen. 207 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 9: We feel like he's been fed so much information and 208 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 9: if he's innocent, we want to get him out. 209 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: We do him and David right. 210 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: The guys asked her what really happened, and she confirmed 211 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: that Joe did say that to her in the basement 212 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: six months after the murder. He said that he did 213 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: do it, but she didn't believe him. 214 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 9: And what did you say, you're his best friend. Did 215 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 9: you say you're just talking crazy, drunk, nonsense or much. 216 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 5: I just looked at him, I said, Oh, okay, Joe, Well, 217 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 5: I'm truly, honestly believe he didn't do it. Yeah, said 218 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,839 Speaker 5: that when I was on the stand that I really 219 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 5: don't think he didn't do it. Joe was kindhearted, He's 220 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 5: very sensitive. He would never do anything to hurt anybody. 221 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 5: And especially like when we were going through the whole 222 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 5: process and they said the kids through in the home 223 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 5: id right then and there, Joe was not part of them. 224 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 2: You're not the first person that's told us that that 225 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 2: Joe would never even if he could imagine him doing it, 226 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: he wouldn't do it with kids. 227 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 5: In the house. 228 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: Now, if you're wondering, like I was, if she might 229 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: be sticking to a lie to avoid perjury charges, did. 230 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,119 Speaker 2: You ever feel feel like they were being really aggressive 231 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: to make you say something. 232 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: No, But apparently she did fear that she could be 233 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: dragged into this. Apparently the cops let her know that 234 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: she could face a prison sentence. 235 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 5: I was in Florida actually the day it happened, and 236 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 5: that's really what saved my ass because I had a 237 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: credit card receipt from Florida where I was. 238 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: It seemed Sam worried that she could have potentially been 239 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: framed as a co conspirator if she'd been in town. 240 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: Her lawyer wasn't going to run the risk of Sam 241 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: getting on the stand under oath a trial. Who knew 242 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: what kinds of tricks they'd pull. 243 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 5: My lawyer shipped me off Indiana for six months until 244 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 5: the whole thing was over. 245 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: My lawyer went to courtor. 246 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 5: My lawyer like, I sat him down, and why didn't 247 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 5: you get a lawyer? Because I was gonna I got 248 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 5: five to fifteen years press against me for No, I'm not. 249 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: Saying that that's why the cops couldn't find her to 250 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: testify at trial. During the interview with police, Sam had 251 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: had an attorney present that made it incredibly unlikely for 252 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: the police to pressure and course her. So she seemingly 253 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: freely admitted that Joe did confess to her. But still 254 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. 255 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what I mean. 256 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 5: So I'm not going to go and say something that 257 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 5: I don't really believe and even cause more trouble. 258 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, as far as getting you in the room with 259 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: the detectives, when you're first talking to them, they did 260 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: they sort of ask you open ended questions of what 261 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: did you know? Or did they sort of start almost 262 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: immediately telling you what they believed. 263 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, they said, well, we. 264 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 5: Arrested Joe on something, and then he started telling us 265 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 5: this story and your name came up and this is 266 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 5: what he said you knew? 267 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 3: And I said okay, and he says, what was it, Drue? 268 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: And I says, well, that's what Joe told you, okay. Yeah, 269 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: And that's pretty much how the interview went. 270 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: And so they was it was true that he had 271 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: told you that in the basement. It's just a matter 272 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: of you didn't believe it. 273 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: But what we do know is what I said before. 274 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: Sam was street smart. Sam wouldn't give the police any 275 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: more than what they gave her. 276 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: And they're like, well, what do you know? 277 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 5: And I'm like, well, what did Joe tell you? 278 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Dislike with you guys, or 279 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 3: what did Joe. 280 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Sam may not have believed Joe, but she kept that 281 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: to herself. 282 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 5: Back to them, Hey, I wasn't going to put my 283 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 5: own opinion in there. 284 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't true. 285 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: At this point, we all started to think maybe there 286 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: was truth to Joe being involved. His own best friend 287 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: who loves him and wants to protect him at all costs, 288 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: says he told her he killed Von. So if Joe 289 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: said this, what are the odds that Rose and Chris, 290 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: people who live in different towns and are independent from Sam, 291 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: would have a similar story of Joe telling them he 292 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: was going to kill a girl and then a girl 293 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: winds up dead. 294 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: And so you're looking at that and think, well, that 295 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: doesn't look very fucking good for Joe, you know. So 296 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: that was what was important for us to talk to 297 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: you and see what the real circumstances were behind your 298 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: statement and grand jury testimony and all that stuff. And 299 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: this really helps. 300 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: But remember Sam said she wouldn't tell the police more 301 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: than what they were asking her to verify. So was 302 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: there more to what Joe said to her? There was? 303 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: Sam dropped one final bombshell. 304 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: I know David wanted him to, okay. 305 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 5: And I was under the impression that Dave was. 306 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 2: Going to pay him to Did he tell you that 307 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: David wanted him to do that. 308 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 5: Yeah he did. 309 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: Did he tell you that multiple times? 310 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 5: Okay, okay before it happened, or yeah, like months before. 311 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: This was where our investigation took a turn we never expected. Allegedly, 312 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: Joe was talking about murdering Evon for months, and for 313 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: months he'd been telling Sam that David was behind it. 314 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: We were more confused than ever. Maybe I was resisting 315 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: what was in front of me, but I was determined 316 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: to be skeptical, skeptical of the official story, skeptical of 317 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: the cops. I've reported on too much shady police work 318 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: to ever take their story at face value. But Sam 319 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: was credible. Sam told us he loves Joe and doesn't 320 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: believe he killed Yvonne, but regardless, she stands by him, 321 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: telling her he did it, and that David Thorne wanted 322 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: him to, and that Joe had been telling her that 323 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: for months. We had never heard this before. This was 324 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: never in any of her statements to the police or 325 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: grand jury. We considered that she was making it up, 326 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: but for what purpose. Sam did realize that Joe's case 327 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: and David's case were tied. 328 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 3: But to be able to get Joe out, I guess 329 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 3: you got to get David. 330 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: Out too, So why would she implicate David if she 331 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: thinks helping Joe requires David getting out? Well, if she 332 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: was telling us the truth of what she knew, and 333 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: Sam did tell us that she wasn't going to bring 334 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: up any more to the police than what they asked 335 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: her about. 336 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: True. 337 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 9: How confident are you that Joe had made mention that 338 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 9: his friend David wanted his wife killed before it happened. 339 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: Oh? 340 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Actually it was David had. 341 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: Some part in, so they Joe had been telling you 342 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: for some time that David wanted him to do this, Okay, 343 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 2: And did you think that at any point in time 344 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 2: he was actually considering doing it? 345 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 6: Yeah? 346 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: Okay. 347 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 9: Do you believe that that David masterminded it, no matter 348 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 9: Joe or I do. 349 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 3: That's my gut feeling. 350 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 5: He wanted it, and I think he would just find 351 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 5: the first person that would say has to do. 352 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: It, and Joe was the sucker always looked. 353 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, whenever David and Paul, I remember driving him over 354 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 5: to David's house a couple of times, especially when him 355 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 5: and when David and his wife forgett divorced. 356 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the whole started. 357 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 3: You want to They had like five or six kids. 358 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: It's interesting Sam mentioned these details. Of course, we know 359 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: that Yvonne and David were not married and all kids 360 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: were not David's. But Sam didn't. Sam didn't care one 361 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: way or another. None of this meant anything to her 362 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: and to the guys. This just shows how little Sam 363 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: was involved or has paid attention to the case. She 364 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: told them she has other shit going on and doesn't 365 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: read the news or watch TV. So the fact that 366 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: she remembers these details helped convince John and Danny that 367 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: she's telling the truth about what she remembers. 368 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,679 Speaker 3: Did you even know David now? 369 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 9: And he's just telling me, Sam, I've got this buddy 370 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 9: of mine that I looked up to that wants me 371 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 9: to kill his wife. 372 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I looked at him. I said, Joe, you 373 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 3: would never do that. 374 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 5: He goes, no, I wouldn't. 375 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 3: I said, Okay, if anything, he would. 376 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: Never lie to me because he has Yeah, but did he? 377 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: We were baffled. Of course, we consider the possibility David 378 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: was involved, but we had never come across any evidence 379 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: other than the weak alleged evidence that was presented at 380 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: trial to indicate that until now, and just in time, 381 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: we finally got approval to talk to Joe Wilkes. On 382 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: the way to the prison. We talked about how the 383 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: visit was going to go. John and Danny were not 384 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: allowed to bring anything into the prison, no recorder, no notepad, 385 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: They cannot bring anything in, so everything had to be 386 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: in their heads and relate back to me immediately while 387 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: it was fresh. 388 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: We have sort of the high points of everything that 389 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: I want to make sure. We mentioned understanding that conversation 390 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: is going to go in whatever direction it goes in, 391 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: but there's some things that definite I want to talk about, 392 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 2: so you know, my attention is to again sort of 393 00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: try to get the slate clean. 394 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: Remember there have been multiple versions of Joe's story. The 395 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: original story that David hired him. Then he told a 396 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: story where David was not involved, but he went over 397 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: to proposition Yvonne for sex and she was already dead. 398 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: He also said he went there to invite her to 399 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: his own party he was having at the hotel at 400 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: the made. 401 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 2: Let's start, doesn't matter what he said in the past, 402 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: just tell us, you know what what was going on 403 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: around that time, what was going around on around that day. 404 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 2: Let him get blocked to the story and then go 405 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: from there. He's given us enough bullets to tear apart 406 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 2: whatever it is. 407 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 6: Yeah. 408 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, so we just we almost colombo him and play confused, 409 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 8: just to let it. 410 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 9: And then here's my thought with. 411 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 8: Him, He's not stupid. If he sees us struggling to 412 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 8: process information he gives us, we just shut up, yep, 413 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 8: and let him try and substantiate what he's just said, 414 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 8: just quizzically, you know, ex facially express to him that 415 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 8: we're not understanding him, to see if he corrects it. 416 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 8: But it's effective because people generally, especially engaged in a 417 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 8: great conversation, want to help understand what they're trying. You know, 418 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 8: there's the receiver and the communicator, and you want the communicator. 419 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 3: To feel like, oh I didn't get that outright? 420 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 8: You let him bring you more, Yeah, because the more 421 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 8: he gives us, the more we can angle our response. 422 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 6: Yeah. 423 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: So one thing that I do want to, you know, 424 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: talk about at some point is his relationship with Amy, 425 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: and you know, see if we can get him to 426 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 2: the point where we think one way or the other 427 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 2: as far as could they have had conversations with each other. 428 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: Unbeknownst to David, this was something we wondered after talking 429 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: with Chris. Could Joe have done something without David's knowledge. 430 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 2: There's a few things that I want to ask him 431 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 2: about regarding Sam.
