(Transcrito por TurboScribe.ai. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) Hello?

You're not going to get away with this.

I won't let you.

Bish, is that you?

What the hell are you talking about?

Don't pretend you don't know, Colette.

He told me.

Who's he?

What are you talking about?

I saw what you wrote!

You said I'm an unfit mother?

You're trying to take Tiffany away from me?

Bish, Hoover's telling you all this is lying.

It's not true.

I, uh...

I don't know what's real anymore.

It's inside these papers.

There's four pieces of paper, so I signed

them.

I said don't you sign anything.

Do you hear me?

Don't sign anything.

He's coming back.

I gotta go.

How come I haven't met Uncle John?

He's been sick for a while.

We haven't been able to visit him since

you were a baby.

Sick with what?

A lot of stuff.

He's had a heart attack.

He had a stroke.

So if we guys both die, I have

to go live with him?

Mother Tiffany Robinson!

Don't you even say that.

Well, she's right.

That's what a godfather is, any way you

slice it.

Why'd you pick him for that?

It was easy.

Without him, we couldn't have adopted you.

He's the one that found you for us.

Found me where?

No, we'll tell you all about that stuff

when you're a bit older, okay, honey?

Welcome!

Welcome!

All right!

Watch yourself on that step there.

I fixed it, but it's still a little

wonky.

Come on in, everybody.

All right.

Our casa.

Your suit casa.

Right, hon?

You know, since the kids are grown, we

couldn't handle that much space.

Yeah, sure.

And North Bay has been great.

Good?

Oh, yeah.

Good neighbors.

Quiet.

Real quiet.

Oh.

Well, you must be Heather then.

Jones, I guess.

Can you guess who

that is?

I had more hair back then.

I was an Eagle Scout.

And you know, they flew us all the

way to London, England, to sing for the

Queen.

The actual Queen of England.

Can you believe it?

You know, Heather, you don't have to be

so shy.

I know you a long time.

And I was there the day you became

part of the family.

You follow me?

See all these awards?

What do you think?

You won all those?

Sure.

Some of them.

Back when I was your age.

Oh.

Look there.

That's me.

And that's you.

How cute you were.

Did your dad ever tell you that I

helped with your adoption?

Dean, am I a real mom?

Your mom in the kitchen is real.

Lots of kids aren't as lucky as you.

You know that, right?

You're very special, Heather.

You're different than everyone else.

Different how?

You still have to grow without me.

I promise.

I'll tell you about it someday.

And please swear.

That it's official.

John Edward Robinson.

You were supposed to report here on the

17th.

My apologies.

I was away on business.

And by the time I got your letter,

I was already late.

What kind of business are you in?

Consulting.

Mostly.

Consulting who?

About what?

I'm a little confused, Ms. Coy.

My probation is in Kansas.

I'm not sure why I'm being called to

report in Missouri.

Tell me about Kansas City Outreach.

Sure.

It's a program that was created by myself

and other area businessmen to provide housing for

unwed mothers.

As well as job training, babysitting.

Okay, so this is a charity that you

started.

Yes.

Felony conviction in 1967 for stealing from your

employer.

Felony arrest in 68 for theft at your

new place of work.

Misdemeanor arrest in 69.

Theft at the workplace.

Starting to see a pattern.

That was a long time ago.

One more in 69, arrest for embezzlement.

In 1976, convicted of mail fraud.

In 77, you forged the mayor's signature to

publicly award yourself Man of the Year for

your work with the disabled.

Did you actually do any work with the

disabled?

Is the purpose of this meeting to embarrass

me, Ms. Coy?

I didn't break my parole in Kansas.

So I ask you again, with respect.

Why am I being called here?

I got a call from someone at the

Birdsong Women's Shelter in Overland Park.

She said you approached them in early December,

looking for young single mothers to place in

a work program.

I asked if we could be of service.

You told her it was sponsored by the

Olathe Credit Union, where you sat on the

board of directors.

I'm on the board of the Kansas City

Outreach.

Our bank is the Olathe Credit Union.

Sounds like they should have been writing this

down.

Mr. Robinson, I see repeat offenders every day.

You're not the only one with a folder

this thick.

A con man is always looking to get

over on someone else.

So I wonder, what's in it for you?

I don't see the angle here.

There is no angle.

I made some mistakes in my life.

I'm trying to find a way to get

back.

And that's what I figured you'd say.

We could have done this by phone.

If there's nothing else.

I have a long ride back home.

If I have to call on you again,

I don't want to ask twice.

Hello, can

I help you with something?

Good afternoon, ma'am.

I'm Lena Coy.

I'm with the Missouri Department of Parole and

Probation.

Oh no, is someone in trouble?

Oh no, no trouble.

I've been going around to the women's shelters

in the area to ask if anyone has

been contacted by a fellow named John Robinson.

It would have been back in early January.

Doesn't ring a bell.

The only other person is Gil, I can

ask.

He said he was representing a group called

the Kansas City Outreach.

Oh, you mean John Osborne.

I spoke with him, nice guy.

John Osborne?

Yeah, we connected him with Lisa.

Lisa?

Lisa who?

Lisa Stacy.

She was here sometime after the New Year's.

She had a baby girl named Tiffany.

I'm so glad they landed back on their

feet.

That baby was as cute as I'll get

out.

So Lisa and her baby were placed in

the outreach program?

Well they were, but she backed out, found

herself a new man, ran off to start

a family together.

I think she mentioned Colorado.

You spoke to her about this?

No, she wrote us a letter in January.

Said she was doing great, Tiffany was great,

thanking us for our help, you know.

Do you still have this letter?

I know what I want, and I'm going

to go after it.

While I am truly grateful for Mr. Osborne's

help, I realize that I need to move

on and make my own way.

Please don't worry about me.

I'm a big girl, and I know what

is best for Tiffany and me.

I'll write more as soon as I can.

Lots of love, Lisa.

Colette Dunnings.

Lisa split from my son right before Christmas.

Some big fight.

Dean took off for the Army, and Lisa

took Tiffany to stay at a shelter.

We helped out when we could while she

tried to find a job.

And that was when she met John.

You know him as John Osborne?

She said he was going to help her

get her GED, set her up with a

place to live.

I kept saying, do you even know this

guy?

But she had a very trusting nature.

Anyway, he set her up in Overland Park,

a motel.

Harrow.

The Harrow Inn.

That night I get a call, and it's

Lisa.

And she's freaking out, accusing me of trying

to take Tiffany away from her.

I'm trying to calm her down, and she

says they made her sign on some papers.

Four of them, she said.

And then she says something like, he's coming

back, I gotta go.

And she was gone.

I called the motel the next morning.

They said Lisa and Tiff had already been

checked out, and that's when I knew.

I knew something bad had happened.

So the police were made aware of John

at that time.

John Osborne.

I gave his name when we filed the

report.

Then we all got the letters.

You got letters?

That's supposedly from her.

Lisa's mom got one out in Alabama.

So did the shelter where she was staying.

You don't think Lisa wrote this?

Maybe it's her signature.

But it's not her words, that's for sure.

She said they made her sign on four

sheets of paper.

You've got one in your hand right there.

Lisa's mom got another.

And safe house.

Maybe there's one more out there.

Did the police see this?

They saw the one from the shelter.

They wondered why we still thought she was

missing.

I guess it was all they needed to

stop looking?

Yes, hello?

Hi, is this Lynn Jessop, Lisa Stacy's mother?

Yes, speaking.

Hi, my name is Lena Coy.

I'm with the Missouri Parole and Probation Department.

Is this about my girls?

Have you heard from Lisa?

No, ma'am, I'm sorry.

Oh, yeah.

Dean's sister told me all about him.

They think he might have something to do

with the letters we got.

God knows Lisa didn't write them.

And what makes you think they may have

been written by someone else?

A mother knows what her daughter sounds like,

Ms. Coy.

It's her signature.

But it isn't her.

Ms. Jessop, could you fax over a copy...

I sure can.

Yes, I'd like to speak with Detective Jenna

Cormack, please.

Hey, Jen.

Hey.

Thanks for coming halfway.

Oh, it's no hassle.

Gives me a chance to get out of

the office.

There's a case file on the Robinson investigation.

So there is an investigation.

The family doesn't seem to think so.

We talked to the family about this.

We're not even sure it's a missing person

at this point.

Well, what about Robinson?

He was our only suspect, but he said

he hadn't heard from her.

Then the letters came in.

You saw the letters?

Of course.

It was sent to the Overland Park PD.

It says she's living in Kansas.

Doesn't want anything to do with the family.

Wasn't much more left to look into.

Hold on.

Who's Paula Godfrey?

That's her name, our missing person.

No, her name is Lisa Stacy.

She has a baby, Tiffany.

A baby?

What the hell are you talking about?

Who's Lisa Stacy?

Who's Paula Godfrey?

Paula Godfrey, 19, reported missing by her parents

August 84.

She answered an ad about a job that

Robinson posted in the paper using his real

name.

She left her family to attend a training

class in Texas and was never seen again.

When she was reported missing, people started getting

letters, typed letters with her signature.

Listen, we're not the only ones chasing this

guy.

The FBI is trying to pin him on

federal charges.

But all they can get on him is

forgery.

You're kidding.

It's like busting Capone for tax evasion.

Work for Capone?

He did something to those women and that

baby.

Fraud and forgery are just the tip of

the iceberg.

And soon he'll be off the streets.

Let's just find everyone time to gather evidence

to back up our claims.

Robinson was arrested on federal charges a couple

months later.

He was sentenced to serve 6 to 20

years for forgery and fraud.

I spent the rest of that year working

with Overland Park and the FBI, trying to

build a case against him for the three

missing females.

In the end, we couldn't find enough evidence

to charge him with anything.

And no one ever saw the women or

that baby girl ever again.

He was out on bail for a year

while he appealed.

And three weeks before he went to prison,

another woman went missing.

Catherine Clampett answered a job ad posted in

the paper, and she was never seen again.

When her family reported her missing, they got

letters, typed letters with handwritten signatures.

Six years later, John Edward Robinson was released

from jail.

Hey Lynn, Lena Coy here.

I didn't get you at a bad time?

No, no, I was just thinking it was

about time I got a call from you.

Listen, I wanted you to know, John Robinson

is being released early for good.

Well, I knew they couldn't keep him forever

on the fraud stuff.

I did all I could.

I'm really sorry.

You got nothing to be sorry for, Lena.

I'll check back in soon, okay?

It's always nice to hear your voice.

Take care now, bye.

Bye-bye.

How long

are you going to keep this up, Heather?

It's not like I held him down.

You are not qualified to give piercings to

other kids.

Now, Joel's parents will deal with him.

You better hope it doesn't get infected.

Oh, you think this is funny?

Huh?

Making me come down, take you out of

school.

It's funny to you?

Hey, we're not done here.

You know what, Heather?

You can't just lounge around all day and

then tell me there's no time to help

out around here or do your homework or,

God forbid, you actually put the dishes in

the sink.

So, how was your day?

It's not funny.

It's not.

She is that close to getting kicked out

of school.

Come on, she pierced Joel's...

No, you're absolutely right.

That was the wrong thing to do.

And it's not just that, okay?

Mr. Sawyer had a laundry list of infractions,

detentions, demerits.

I can keep track of it all.

Okay, okay, okay, I get it.

Can we just...

I've had a hell of a day and

I was really looking forward to sitting down

with my two favorite ladies and enjoying a

delicious meal that my beautiful wife has been

nice enough to make for us.

Okay, all right, all right, I get it.

To be continued.

Remember, we're going dress shopping for your cousin's

wedding.

Why are we going to Lenexa for a

wedding?

We barely ever see them.

It's a 10-hour drive, Max.

Come on, when's the last time we were

on a road trip?

Can't we just send a card?

It's one weekend of your life.

Buck up, buttercup.

See?

If I said that, I would never hear

the end of it.

Yeah, because you literally say that all the

time.

No, and that's not fair at all.

Oh, salami.

Oh, salami.

Oh, you deserve a linguine.

Oh, I'm going to have your mashed potatoes

if you don't eat them fast enough.

Okay, Mike, stop, stop.

Please, we get it.

Oh, I like it.

What do you think?

Hard pass.

You said that to all four.

Well, they just keep getting worse.

I look like a doll in this.

No, you look like a regular girl.

Well, I don't want to be a regular

girl.

This isn't my style.

You don't have a style, Heather.

You wear hoodies and those massive jeans.

You might as well be wearing a ball

gown.

That's how young people dress.

Well, that sure doesn't make it stylish.

And you're not wearing a hoodie and jeans

to the wedding, okay?

This is supposed to be a fun moment,

you know?

A mom taking her daughter to buy a

dress.

Fun for who?

Please, have a seat.

What brings you down?

We're on a missing persons.

And your name came up in our investigation

of a suspect.

Several times, in fact.

Not as an accomplice, I hope.

What can you tell us about John Edward

Robinson?

I knew this day was coming.

How much time you got?

Her name is Suzette Troughton.

Disappeared on April 5th after she took a

job with Robinson looking after his sick father.

John Robinson's father died years ago while he

was in prison.

April 12th, 1993.

Yeah, Suzette never let a day go by

without calling her mom.

So when the call suddenly stopped, she filed

a report.

A few days later, she gets a letter.

Her mom said Suzette never used a typewriter

and couldn't spell to save her life.

There's only one spelling mistake on that letter.

And that's her dog's name.

And what about the dog?

Dogs.

Two little Pekingese dogs, Pika and Harry.

Her mom said she wouldn't cross the street

without them.

So we started there.

Checked all the animal shelters and we learned

that two Pekingese dogs were found at a

trailer park in Olathe the day after Troughton's

last call.

One of the residents living in this trailer

park is one John Edward Robinson.

You've got to be kidding me.

Basically just left them on his own doorstep.

He started again.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

Maybe he never stopped.

He hasn't even changed his M.O. He

must think he's untouchable.

So far he's been right.

Obviously you picked him up.

We couldn't push him off his story.

That she had run off at the last

minute with some guy named Jerry and they

sailed off into the sunset together.

Literally.

Like on a boat.

This won't be the last missing girl.

He's not going to stop until somebody stops

him.

We're putting together a joint task force.

Lenexa and Overland Park PD.

Yeah, we're overseeing it.

The FBI is assigning agents next week.

John Edward Robinson has jumped to the front

of the line.

Seems like you've had this guy pegged from

the start.

I've had this file in my desk for

the last 15 years.

I was there when he went to prison.

I was there when he got out.

I have spent the better part of my

career trying to call him out to whatever

branch of law enforcement would listen.

We're listening now.

Yeah.

And the cavalry is on its way.

And then it was in grade school.

Am I right?

Grade school.

When Samantha decided she liked the name Sam

better.

So she demanded that Sam change his name.

So for about a year.

About a year.

Samantha was known as Sam.

Right?

And Sam was known as Batman.

And she's been getting away ever since.

And it looks like she's struck again.

So Liam.

We have some advice for you.

Two words that you're going to have to

get used to.

Yes, dear.

We would like to propose a toast.

To the happy couple.

They haven't even had a drink yet.

How are you guys doing?

Heather, you remember me, right?

Well, aren't you getting tall?

You're just a little ugly right here.

Thanks.

Okay.

Please, please remember, she's not getting it from

us.

Can you remember Sammy at this age?

I do.

May I have this dance?

It's okay, honey.

Go dance with your uncle.

It's okay.

Why so glum, honey?

This is my dancing.

Now, I know we haven't seen each other

much.

But we're family.

Okay?

And I want you to know.

You can always come to me for help

or advice.

Thanks.

I'm okay.
