1
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:21,350
In the quiet between last call on a
Saturday night and the dawn of a cold
2
00:00:21,350 --> 00:00:24,150
morning, two men are out scavenging.
3
00:00:24,450 --> 00:00:31,050
Check over there. Joe Sanders has had a
lean winter and hopes
4
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:32,710
tonight's haul will be a big one.
5
00:00:33,190 --> 00:00:37,410
They basically went along rest areas
looking for anything that they could
6
00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:42,130
salvage. They came upon the dumpster at
the Mansfield rest area.
7
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:46,120
Joe's wife has warned him to stay away
from the highway stops.
8
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,080
It's too easy to get mixed up in bad
business.
9
00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:53,080
And they look in the dumpster, and one
of them sees a plastic bag.
10
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,440
You got something.
11
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,400
Oh, it's wicked heavy.
12
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,680
Oh, yeah.
13
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,020
He opens it, and inside the bag is a
blue plaid men's shirt.
14
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,240
His?
15
00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:12,790
All right.
16
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:14,750
And hers.
17
00:01:15,010 --> 00:01:17,290
In the brown woman's jacket.
18
00:01:18,610 --> 00:01:19,610
What's that?
19
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:20,670
Is that blood?
20
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:23,910
Looks like Joe should have listened to
his wife.
21
00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:59,940
In the exclusive Boston suburb of
Sharon, Massachusetts, Professor Bill
22
00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:02,860
and his family are living the American
dream.
23
00:02:05,660 --> 00:02:07,160
Look at that. There you go.
24
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,439
Look at you.
25
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,560
This is beautiful.
26
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,839
Thank you.
27
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,640
He was a big man. He stood 6 '3", 6 '4",
but he wasn't really a big, strong guy.
28
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,940
Not someone that would have attracted
much attention.
29
00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:23,680
He just sort of blended in, and he
looked professorial.
30
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:27,190
But to his wife, Nancy, Bill is
everything.
31
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:28,530
I love you.
32
00:02:28,650 --> 00:02:33,070
Now parents of three, the high school
sweethearts are in it for the long haul,
33
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:36,070
even if they don't get to see much of
each other these days.
34
00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:39,250
Nancy works nights at a retirement home.
35
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:44,150
Cheers. She was a nurse, a mother, a
devoted wife.
36
00:02:44,490 --> 00:02:46,990
I'm going to have to go to work. I'm
running a little late.
37
00:02:51,250 --> 00:02:52,250
Thank you.
38
00:02:52,690 --> 00:02:53,690
Thank you.
39
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,180
Bill is a tenured professor at Tufts
University in the cellular biology
40
00:03:03,180 --> 00:03:04,180
department.
41
00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:08,560
Have some diet in that second group.
Okay. See if it sheds some light on the
42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,120
topic. He was world renowned. His
colleagues really respected him and
43
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,920
admired him. What if we could duplicate
these results on mature tissue?
44
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,140
Huh? Would that be something?
45
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,740
He really worked on cutting edge stuff.
Tufts really liked the guy because he
46
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:25,740
was a rainmaker.
47
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:27,900
Bill.
48
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Hi. Hi.
49
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,860
The NIH paperwork just came through.
50
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,280
It's good.
51
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:35,340
Really? Yeah.
52
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,300
We're on our way to be in the first
class department, people.
53
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:47,080
First class. When you have one of those
kinds of people, you do your best to
54
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,080
keep them.
55
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:50,840
Bill Douglas really does seem to have it
all.
56
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,000
But in the spring of 1982, his behavior
becomes slightly erratic.
57
00:03:58,330 --> 00:04:00,570
And his assistant, Jane Erickson, takes
note.
58
00:04:01,050 --> 00:04:04,310
Bill, Bill, where have you been? Come
on, the board is furious.
59
00:04:04,790 --> 00:04:06,610
Come on, you've got to be accountable,
Bill.
60
00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:09,950
Don't worry about it. Bill, come on,
look, they're furious. Where have you...
61
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,950
Bill, what's happened to you?
62
00:04:12,390 --> 00:04:17,610
What's happened to your face? No, no,
it's okay. He was disheveled. His face
63
00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:21,910
scratched up a little bit. He claimed
that he had been mugged. Talk to me.
64
00:04:21,910 --> 00:04:22,879
okay, I can't...
65
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,800
It's going to be all right. No, come on.
You've got to report this. We've got to
66
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,720
go to the police. No, we're not going to
the police. You need to trust me.
67
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,060
That's a bad idea. Believe me.
68
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,540
Bill's odd absences have raised more
than a few eyebrows.
69
00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:43,860
Mr. Douglas?
70
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:51,360
One time, a lab tech came in, and there
was Douglas having slept in his office.
71
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Obviously, this is not the kind of
behavior you expect from a professional.
72
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,940
He would normally stay in the office
till 6 or 7 or 8. Now, he wasn't going
73
00:05:02,940 --> 00:05:04,500
at all. That was highly unusual.
74
00:05:08,660 --> 00:05:12,040
Before long, a new, more troubling issue
surfaces.
75
00:05:12,940 --> 00:05:16,740
Bill, sorry, but accounting's been
giving me a hard time about those
76
00:05:17,060 --> 00:05:17,979
Yeah, well, that's unfortunate.
77
00:05:17,980 --> 00:05:21,820
But the thing is that cabs cost money,
downtown isn't safe, and that's the way
78
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:27,820
it is. His assistant, Jane, at one point
became alarmed because their petty cash
79
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:32,120
account was being drained by him. This
is more than taxis, Bill. Figure it out,
80
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,160
please.
81
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:39,860
So there was a lot of suspicion that
something was really strange. His
82
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:42,560
mannerisms and activities that change.
83
00:05:43,940 --> 00:05:49,140
Turns out Bill's wife Nancy is also
finding discrepancies in their personal
84
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:50,140
finances.
85
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,660
Nancy Douglas knew something was going
on and she knew the money is gone. She
86
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:55,660
knew something was up.
87
00:05:56,540 --> 00:05:58,620
Have Professor Hanaka check those
numbers.
88
00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:04,060
Suspicions only grow when university
officials begin checking his expenses
89
00:06:04,060 --> 00:06:05,800
by line. Bill, we need to talk.
90
00:06:06,140 --> 00:06:07,140
I'm busy.
91
00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:09,800
I have some questions on these receipts.
92
00:06:13,390 --> 00:06:17,590
There were strange things showing up
like biological fluid collection units.
93
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:22,810
It didn't take too long for folks to
realize that he was buying condoms with
94
00:06:22,810 --> 00:06:23,810
their petty cash.
95
00:06:26,530 --> 00:06:27,650
Do you forget who I am?
96
00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:30,830
I'm the guy that brings in $250 ,000
grants to this university.
97
00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:35,850
And so clearly you're looking at a guy
now who's thinking that he's privileged.
98
00:06:36,010 --> 00:06:39,550
He brings in money so he can do whatever
he wants.
99
00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:41,970
Good day, sir.
100
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,120
We'll see what the board has to say.
101
00:06:44,980 --> 00:06:50,300
And unfortunately, it worked, because
accounting at that point kind of dropped
102
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:51,300
the investigation.
103
00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:58,360
Yes, yes, yes, you drive me crazy.
104
00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:03,200
But when the professor hires a
mysterious new researcher from MIT,
105
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:09,100
Jane has a hard time keeping quiet.
There was a grad student named Miss
106
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:10,520
working for them.
107
00:07:11,219 --> 00:07:15,920
But he was the only person who ever
allegedly worked with her. Nobody else
108
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:22,080
saw her. He was paying her $1 ,000 a
month, which was far more than any other
109
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,340
grad student received.
110
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,840
Well, think about it.
111
00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:35,180
Bill, there's Ameth Benedict on the
phone. She keeps calling.
112
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,480
She keeps calling?
113
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,900
Yeah, yeah. Well, why didn't you put her
through the first time?
114
00:07:39,180 --> 00:07:40,380
No, I just thought I'd check and see.
115
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,600
She wouldn't keep calling if you'd put
her through. Okay, I thought I'd check
116
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,980
with you first. Yeah, put her through.
117
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,740
Professor Douglas had kind of a hotline
set up in his office where his family,
118
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,880
any time they called, they would be put
through to him. Well, he had Miss
119
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,660
Benedict also put on this list.
120
00:07:56,980 --> 00:08:00,520
Okay, so just interrupt you for your
wife, your kids, and Miss Benedict.
121
00:08:00,820 --> 00:08:01,820
Right.
122
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Okay, thanks.
123
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:15,120
When Jane finds a suggestive note, it's
the final straw.
124
00:08:15,740 --> 00:08:21,920
She saw a transcription that was on the
page from Miss Benedict, who she had
125
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:28,340
never seen, who'd been getting $1 ,000 a
month, and it just told her that
126
00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:30,100
something was going on.
127
00:08:33,460 --> 00:08:38,900
In November 1982, Jane reports her boss
to university officials.
128
00:08:39,950 --> 00:08:45,930
Jane was key because she really began to
put the pieces together. Something was
129
00:08:45,930 --> 00:08:47,170
terribly wrong here.
130
00:08:47,550 --> 00:08:49,830
What is Bill Douglas hiding?
131
00:09:06,090 --> 00:09:09,190
Professor Bill Douglas is keeping
secrets.
132
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:14,140
Money is missing from his personal and
professional accounts, and nobody seems
133
00:09:14,140 --> 00:09:16,660
to know anything about his mysterious
new hire,
134
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Ms. Benedict.
135
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:19,980
When are you going to be home?
136
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:22,280
I got an all -nighter tonight.
137
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:23,860
Seriously?
138
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Once this Grant thing is tightened up,
put away. We're going to go a couple of
139
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,520
weeks up to the lake, just us.
140
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:37,200
Truth is, Bill has no intentions of
working tonight.
141
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:40,360
He's got other plans close by.
142
00:09:40,820 --> 00:09:44,820
Tufts University is right on the border
of the combat zone.
143
00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:47,540
It was out of control at one time.
144
00:09:48,580 --> 00:09:51,160
As big a red light district as there was
in America.
145
00:09:51,580 --> 00:09:56,660
The center of activity was a bar called
Good Time Charlie's. It was the short
146
00:09:56,660 --> 00:10:01,160
walk for Professor Douglas to go from
his laboratory where they're making all
147
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,300
these wonderful discoveries and walk
into Good Time Charlie's.
148
00:10:20,650 --> 00:10:21,469
Miss Benedict.
149
00:10:21,470 --> 00:10:22,750
Good evening, Professor.
150
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:28,890
Bill Douglas is leading a double life,
and he's not the only one.
151
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:35,370
Just 25 miles north of the combat zone.
152
00:10:37,410 --> 00:10:41,170
If you think your mom is something else
dealing with rental car companies today,
153
00:10:41,270 --> 00:10:43,190
you should have seen her 15 years ago.
154
00:10:43,730 --> 00:10:48,370
A bright young woman, full of promise,
lives with her loud, loving Catholic
155
00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:49,370
family.
156
00:10:52,030 --> 00:10:53,590
Robin was the glue of the family.
157
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:58,770
She was the one that always found
something in common with all of us.
158
00:10:59,650 --> 00:11:01,650
Always had a smile on her face, very
energetic.
159
00:11:03,890 --> 00:11:08,490
She was beautiful. She had olive skin,
she had black hair, she had dark eyes.
160
00:11:11,950 --> 00:11:15,470
To her father, John, Robin can do no
wrong.
161
00:11:16,350 --> 00:11:19,850
She came from a good family. Her parents
obviously loved her. Her father loved
162
00:11:19,850 --> 00:11:20,850
her dearly.
163
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,520
There's something for someone I would
like to present that came in the mail.
164
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:31,180
A straight -A student with perfect
attendance, Robyn's artistic talent wins
165
00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:32,180
top accolades.
166
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,600
I remember when she got the Presidential
Certificate of Merit.
167
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,700
My parents were proud of her. I mean, it
was great. I mean, it's an honor.
168
00:11:47,530 --> 00:11:51,510
She was so accomplished in high school
that she got accepted at the Rhode
169
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:53,670
School of Design for her graphic
artwork.
170
00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:58,010
Sorry, where are my manners?
171
00:11:58,210 --> 00:11:59,029
I'm Louis.
172
00:11:59,030 --> 00:12:02,210
Hi, I'm Robin. Robin, nice to meet you.
Such a beautiful name. Beautiful shirt,
173
00:12:02,270 --> 00:12:04,690
by the way. I love the flowers. I love
the whole pattern and everything. It's
174
00:12:04,690 --> 00:12:05,950
great. Thank you so much.
175
00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:11,290
After a semester at art school, the
starving artist gets a taste of a more
176
00:12:11,290 --> 00:12:15,570
glamorous life. When she meets Louis
Jones, everything changes.
177
00:12:15,830 --> 00:12:16,830
Cheers.
178
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,800
Robin's new love was very different.
179
00:12:21,260 --> 00:12:22,300
You're beautiful.
180
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,520
You're nice.
181
00:12:23,620 --> 00:12:27,000
You give off this very warm vibe and
aura.
182
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,300
He drove a late -modeled Mercedes.
183
00:12:30,060 --> 00:12:31,960
He flashed gold chains.
184
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:36,500
She was usually anxious to talk to her
friends about her boyfriends and what
185
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:41,080
they were doing and what they were into.
She would never tell what Lewis did for
186
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:41,839
a living.
187
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,860
That was amazing.
188
00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:47,650
You're amazing.
189
00:12:48,410 --> 00:12:53,590
She was absolutely in love with Lewis.
Lewis was now the love of her life.
190
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:55,590
See, big plans for us.
191
00:12:56,950 --> 00:12:57,950
Go on.
192
00:12:58,090 --> 00:12:59,090
Like what?
193
00:12:59,170 --> 00:13:00,310
Well, what do you want?
194
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:03,370
A giant house.
195
00:13:04,070 --> 00:13:06,410
Okay, a giant house. I can do that.
196
00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:10,650
Giant house with a yard. I think I know
a way we can afford it.
197
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:15,990
From all observations, she was doing
great. She had a new boyfriend.
198
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:17,530
She had a fabulous apartment.
199
00:13:18,070 --> 00:13:22,730
So anybody looking from a distance would
say that Robin was really making it in
200
00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:23,730
this world.
201
00:13:24,330 --> 00:13:28,410
And she was always willing to share her
happiness with her sister, Rhonda.
202
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:30,070
Can I see? Can I see? I'm ready.
203
00:13:30,930 --> 00:13:33,470
Oh, my God. What do you think? It's
gorgeous.
204
00:13:33,930 --> 00:13:37,590
Thanks. My sisters are what they call
Irish twins. They're only 10 months
205
00:13:37,930 --> 00:13:38,869
Can I borrow it?
206
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:40,550
Yeah. Got to see it on you, though.
207
00:13:41,050 --> 00:13:45,010
They were extremely close. Close in age,
close in size and everything. Of
208
00:13:45,010 --> 00:13:47,230
course, they exchanged clothes and stuff
like that.
209
00:13:47,450 --> 00:13:48,610
Oh, my God. I love it.
210
00:13:49,130 --> 00:13:50,130
Perfect.
211
00:13:50,410 --> 00:13:51,510
Let me see. I love it.
212
00:13:53,070 --> 00:13:54,390
Let's go show Dad. Let's go.
213
00:13:58,930 --> 00:13:59,930
Baby!
214
00:14:00,390 --> 00:14:04,530
Soon, Robin's showing off a lot more
than just a jacket.
215
00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:07,250
I have some super exciting news for you
guys tonight.
216
00:14:10,190 --> 00:14:14,950
And the changes don't sit well with the
family.
217
00:14:15,470 --> 00:14:19,750
She came in wearing this beautiful
dress, this fur coat.
218
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:24,250
Her hair was done up and she had on
extra makeup. I just thought that was so
219
00:14:24,250 --> 00:14:25,009
unlike her.
220
00:14:25,010 --> 00:14:27,210
Here, everybody, grab a glass. Don't be
shy.
221
00:14:28,810 --> 00:14:30,730
Oh, thank you, baby.
222
00:14:31,350 --> 00:14:35,070
So, we have a very big announcement.
223
00:14:35,450 --> 00:14:37,150
So, Lewis and I are moving in together.
224
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:40,050
Yeah. Yeah. Tears indeed.
225
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:41,790
Tears.
226
00:14:42,170 --> 00:14:43,310
He bought me this dress.
227
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:47,390
Doesn't she look great in a dress? She
had a natural beauty, so she didn't have
228
00:14:47,390 --> 00:14:49,750
to put on all that extra makeup to look
pretty.
229
00:14:50,810 --> 00:14:52,230
Something was wrong.
230
00:14:57,510 --> 00:14:59,170
How's the pressure, Mr. Johnson?
231
00:14:59,450 --> 00:15:00,450
That's amazing.
232
00:15:00,490 --> 00:15:05,870
Good. I'm glad you like it. Before long,
Lewis encourages Robin to quit school
233
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:08,430
in favor of more lucrative pursuits.
234
00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:12,750
Lewis was promising her that she'd make
more money than she ever dreamed of.
235
00:15:13,450 --> 00:15:18,450
But she's expected to offer her clients
a lot more than massage therapy.
236
00:15:19,730 --> 00:15:21,810
So, how much? 25?
237
00:15:23,110 --> 00:15:24,830
50. Okay.
238
00:15:26,910 --> 00:15:29,150
Clearly, there was a lot more going on.
239
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:35,640
At the massage parlor where she worked,
she became someone who would sleep with
240
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:36,640
her clients.
241
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,780
This was what Louis wanted her to do, so
this is what she was willing to do.
242
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,940
Louis is a pimp, and he's lured her into
prostitution.
243
00:15:46,580 --> 00:15:51,300
Honey, you need to be a lot more
affectionate. I'm trying. I know, I
244
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:52,300
so uncomfortable.
245
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,260
Listen, think how much does our school
cost, all right? Why are you doing this?
246
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,280
I know.
247
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,320
There's brutal pimps. There's pimps who
get girls hooked on drugs.
248
00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:06,440
But the finesse pimps, like her
boyfriend was, they're con men.
249
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:10,800
And they convince them that it's okay to
turn tricks.
250
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,440
It's okay to make money.
251
00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:14,120
What are we doing this for? Our future.
252
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:15,880
Okay?
253
00:16:16,540 --> 00:16:17,540
You're natural.
254
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:18,900
Okay?
255
00:16:19,180 --> 00:16:20,180
Just be you.
256
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:26,560
You're going to be making money. And I
love you, baby. Do this for me. And it
257
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,960
works. They would start out at the
massage parlor, start sleeping with
258
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,760
clients, and then eventually they were
moved on to the street at the places
259
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,900
Good Time Charlie's.
260
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:41,980
It's here that Robin steps up her game.
She immediately attracts all sorts of
261
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:45,840
attention, including that of local vice
detective Bill Dwyer.
262
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,520
I ain't seen you here before.
263
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,260
I don't think we've met.
264
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,700
She stood out a little bit because she
dressed well.
265
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,960
You working here?
266
00:16:54,820 --> 00:16:58,170
No, no, I'm just... Doing research for a
paper.
267
00:16:58,490 --> 00:17:02,130
Right. I explained to her that the only
women going in and out of good time
268
00:17:02,130 --> 00:17:03,330
childhoods were prostitutes.
269
00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:07,390
But she was a little bit incredulous. I
said, okay, fine. She went on her way.
270
00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:08,829
Student. College.
271
00:17:09,190 --> 00:17:10,129
Mm -hmm.
272
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:11,130
Good luck with that.
273
00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:12,270
Thanks.
274
00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:20,150
But the next evening, Detective Dwyer
catches her again.
275
00:17:20,450 --> 00:17:22,390
This is clearly not research.
276
00:17:23,230 --> 00:17:24,108
Hello, kid.
277
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:25,130
Oh, look who it is.
278
00:17:25,550 --> 00:17:26,550
I met you last night.
279
00:17:26,970 --> 00:17:28,250
How's the research coming?
280
00:17:29,330 --> 00:17:30,810
Why don't you two step out of the car?
281
00:17:31,870 --> 00:17:36,830
So, he admitted he had had a sexual
arrangement set up for $50.
282
00:17:37,230 --> 00:17:38,730
You're making a huge mistake.
283
00:17:39,230 --> 00:17:40,530
That was her first arrest.
284
00:17:40,850 --> 00:17:42,870
Looks like the jig is up for Robin.
285
00:17:43,070 --> 00:17:45,050
But looks can be deceiving.
286
00:17:58,670 --> 00:18:03,230
After the allure of the good life and
the influence of a bad man leads Robin
287
00:18:03,230 --> 00:18:07,610
into prostitution, she's arrested in
Boston's notorious combat zone.
288
00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:12,610
Could this be the wake -up call this
once successful art student so
289
00:18:12,610 --> 00:18:13,610
needs?
290
00:18:14,650 --> 00:18:19,210
Detective Dwyer pulled her aside, and he
just kind of tried to give her friendly
291
00:18:19,210 --> 00:18:22,870
advice. Don't end up like the rest of
the people around here.
292
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:26,690
Listen, Robin, you're not like the
others. Just do yourself a favor and
293
00:18:26,690 --> 00:18:27,690
family a favor.
294
00:18:28,030 --> 00:18:28,709
Get out.
295
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:29,930
You don't understand.
296
00:18:31,070 --> 00:18:32,070
It's temporary.
297
00:18:32,270 --> 00:18:33,690
I don't normally do this.
298
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:37,070
A lot of them claim I'm not really a
prostitute.
299
00:18:37,350 --> 00:18:39,150
That's what they do. They kid
themselves.
300
00:18:39,570 --> 00:18:40,570
You're in school.
301
00:18:40,770 --> 00:18:43,250
People say that all the time, but it's
not temporary.
302
00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:50,490
Young lady, how can you do this? How can
you embarrass our family like this?
303
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:55,050
Robin's father was absolutely devastated
by the news that...
304
00:18:55,370 --> 00:18:57,250
His daughter was a prostitute.
305
00:18:57,850 --> 00:18:59,610
I promise I won't do it again, son.
306
00:18:59,970 --> 00:19:04,330
She didn't go into prostitution on her
own. She was coerced into it.
307
00:19:04,650 --> 00:19:05,910
This is just a mix -up.
308
00:19:06,570 --> 00:19:10,590
A mix -up? What do you think? Her father
loved her dearly. He didn't want to
309
00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:11,249
believe that.
310
00:19:11,250 --> 00:19:13,310
We will discuss this later at home.
311
00:19:14,410 --> 00:19:16,130
Go. You too.
312
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:21,110
Despite her brush with the law, Robin is
back to work right away.
313
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:23,850
She quickly lands a whale of a client.
314
00:19:24,970 --> 00:19:26,110
I'm so sorry.
315
00:19:27,330 --> 00:19:29,070
I usually do that to myself.
316
00:19:32,850 --> 00:19:35,910
You have an incredible smile.
317
00:19:36,490 --> 00:19:37,490
Thank you.
318
00:19:39,130 --> 00:19:40,130
What's your name?
319
00:19:40,670 --> 00:19:43,950
Robin, but you can call me Miss
Benedict.
320
00:19:45,390 --> 00:19:46,390
Miss Benedict?
321
00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:50,410
I was wondering, are you busy?
322
00:19:50,890 --> 00:19:52,070
I think I can be free.
323
00:19:52,530 --> 00:19:53,830
Not asking for free.
324
00:19:55,390 --> 00:19:58,170
He became a regular customer of Robin.
325
00:19:58,550 --> 00:19:59,550
Put that away.
326
00:19:59,890 --> 00:20:00,950
He's coming to me.
327
00:20:09,610 --> 00:20:14,910
Soon after that first meeting, Bill
Douglas isn't just lovesick, he's
328
00:20:15,310 --> 00:20:17,890
I just want you to know this has been
the best month of my life.
329
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:35,840
He went from seeing her maybe once a
week to several times a week, till
330
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,520
he had to see her every day.
331
00:20:37,940 --> 00:20:43,420
He would pay to sit with her in a movie
theater. He would pay to go for walks.
332
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,580
The golden rule for a prostitute is you
want your John to like you, but you
333
00:20:47,580 --> 00:20:51,160
don't want him to be infatuated with
you. And that's what happened.
334
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:53,720
I love being with y 'all.
335
00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:55,900
Here's what I'm thinking.
336
00:20:57,390 --> 00:21:04,390
I made a schedule, and it's got what I
understand to be some times that we
337
00:21:04,390 --> 00:21:05,390
be together that work.
338
00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:08,050
You're so organized, Professor.
339
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:11,830
For
340
00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:21,790
Robin,
341
00:21:22,010 --> 00:21:23,030
time is money.
342
00:21:23,310 --> 00:21:25,370
So Bill comes up with a clever solution.
343
00:21:25,950 --> 00:21:29,770
He hires her as a research assistant and
puts her on the Tufts payroll.
344
00:21:30,210 --> 00:21:32,030
Yes, I got the money. Don't worry about
the money.
345
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:37,090
The plan works for nine months until
Tufts launches a full -scale inquiry
346
00:21:37,090 --> 00:21:38,110
the professor's department.
347
00:21:38,650 --> 00:21:43,850
It was a very covert investigation, so
it was going on totally behind the
348
00:21:43,850 --> 00:21:48,910
scenes. They wanted to meet directly
with Robin Benedict, and he made excuse
349
00:21:48,910 --> 00:21:49,910
upon excuse.
350
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,640
The university calls MIT, where she had
allegedly worked before.
351
00:21:56,980 --> 00:22:00,680
I just want to check an employee of
yours, a Robin Benedict.
352
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,040
Oh, really?
353
00:22:03,860 --> 00:22:05,220
No records at all?
354
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:10,120
It was just a stunning development for
the people at Tuck.
355
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:19,120
Even more staggering, the audit reveals
that Bill Douglas has misappropriated
356
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,100
more than $67 ,000.
357
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,460
They'll be stealing from this great
university to basically bankroll this
358
00:22:27,460 --> 00:22:28,620
lifestyle that he had.
359
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,260
Have you lost your mind?
360
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,059
I'm sorry?
361
00:22:37,060 --> 00:22:39,820
The university will no longer condone
your behavior.
362
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:43,180
Put it in writing.
363
00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:49,480
Tufts had a problem. They had given this
man tenure, and he couldn't be fired.
364
00:22:50,110 --> 00:22:55,630
So their only recourse was to
permanently suspend him. You need to
365
00:22:55,630 --> 00:22:56,790
bags. I'm calling security.
366
00:23:23,950 --> 00:23:25,470
The university called, Bill.
367
00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:28,810
They said you were suspended.
368
00:23:30,030 --> 00:23:34,030
Okay, are they trying to make a big deal
out of nothing in the county? Yeah.
369
00:23:34,610 --> 00:23:35,650
Yeah, that's happening.
370
00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:38,590
They trying to make an example of me?
Yeah.
371
00:23:40,030 --> 00:23:41,030
That too.
372
00:23:41,970 --> 00:23:43,650
You've made a fool out of me.
373
00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:46,510
But you're not going to any longer.
374
00:23:48,530 --> 00:23:50,690
Say it to my face.
375
00:23:53,360 --> 00:24:00,000
He wound up admitting to her that, yes,
he had had a
376
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,760
relationship with a prostitute.
377
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,680
You bastard. How could you do that to
me?
378
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:13,080
She issued him an ultimatum. She said
she'd take him back. She wanted her kids
379
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,980
to be raised in as normal a household as
they could present.
380
00:24:17,380 --> 00:24:18,740
So help me God.
381
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:21,680
If I let you stay.
382
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:27,220
No more Robin Benedict. Do you
understand me, Bill?
383
00:24:37,620 --> 00:24:42,760
Against all odds, Bill quits Robin.
384
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,240
Where are the kids?
385
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,680
Well...
386
00:24:48,970 --> 00:24:53,930
I talked to your mom, and she said that
she would take them for a couple days.
387
00:24:54,690 --> 00:25:01,550
For Bill, he had lost so much of what he
had worked his life for, and he wanted
388
00:25:01,550 --> 00:25:06,490
to show his wife that he could still be
useful despite what had happened to him.
389
00:25:13,290 --> 00:25:18,090
But the facade is short -lived.
390
00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:21,220
He was lonely, and he reached out to
Robin again.
391
00:25:27,060 --> 00:25:33,960
The next month, Douglas
392
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,580
is invited to give a lecture in upstate
New York.
393
00:25:37,820 --> 00:25:39,140
God, I need to be with you.
394
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,060
He decides he wants Robin to come with
him.
395
00:25:42,260 --> 00:25:43,260
Three days.
396
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,400
It's a convention.
397
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,980
I'll tell everybody in my research
center.
398
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,240
Senior research assistant.
399
00:25:52,820 --> 00:25:55,760
She agrees to do it. Oh, it's going to
be grand.
400
00:25:56,420 --> 00:26:00,800
He used to call it spending a grand day
together because she used to charge him
401
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,220
$1 ,000 a day. It's two people leading
completely double lives.
402
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:07,880
Robin had a very good family. She was a
graphics artist.
403
00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:12,740
Professor William Douglas, an educated
man, spent outrageous amounts of money.
404
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,840
How does this happen?
405
00:26:22,060 --> 00:26:23,900
The conference is a success.
406
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,420
Everyone is thoroughly impressed with
Bill's stunning senior researcher.
407
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:31,480
So we should talk about the agreement?
408
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,460
$1 ,000 cash, disagree?
409
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:36,860
$1 ,000?
410
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,380
$3 ,000 is three days.
411
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,100
I don't have that.
412
00:26:42,420 --> 00:26:44,820
I thought you were going to charge me
for the one day at the conference.
413
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:46,460
Three days, $3 ,000.
414
00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:50,280
There's no... This shouldn't be some
sort of surprise.
415
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,500
He had gone through his savings account,
his family, his in -laws.
416
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,860
There was no money left.
417
00:26:56,260 --> 00:26:57,260
Are you okay?
418
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,340
Nancy's going to kill me. It broke his
heart, both physically and mentally.
419
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,960
Bill! Bill!
420
00:27:05,780 --> 00:27:10,720
Bill! There was the possibility that he
was having a heart attack over this.
421
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,540
It's later determined that Bill suffered
a panic attack.
422
00:27:15,420 --> 00:27:18,420
At his request, Robin calls Nancy.
423
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,560
who rushes to his bedside.
424
00:27:21,860 --> 00:27:27,800
With Bill lying there with his chest
pains, these two women actually saw each
425
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:33,360
other for the first time. You have the
wife trying to put her marriage back
426
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:37,400
together face to face with the woman who
had torn it apart.
427
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:44,520
Excuse me, Ms. Benedict?
428
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,660
Listen to me.
429
00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:53,720
Don't you ever contact my husband again.
Do you understand me? Your husband owes
430
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:54,860
me $3 ,000.
431
00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:58,060
I don't want to see your face again.
432
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,480
$3 ,000.
433
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,200
Hi, honey.
434
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,280
Not now.
435
00:28:10,460 --> 00:28:13,820
She told him he could still come home.
436
00:28:14,330 --> 00:28:19,590
She wanted her family so much, but she
told him, no more Robin.
437
00:28:19,930 --> 00:28:24,890
And indeed, after this night, things
would never be the same for Bill and Ms.
438
00:28:25,050 --> 00:28:26,050
Benedict.
439
00:28:30,910 --> 00:28:34,390
Three weeks later, on March 6, 1983,
440
00:28:35,290 --> 00:28:39,830
State Trooper Paul Landry and his
partner are called to a Boston -area
441
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:41,790
stop. I got blood here.
442
00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:43,230
There's a hair right there.
443
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:46,800
He then focuses on a men's button -down.
444
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,300
There's some distinctive stitching on
the pocket.
445
00:28:49,580 --> 00:28:55,040
He noticed that there was a dark thread
that had been used to patch the shirt.
446
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,940
More concerning is a woman's brown
jacket splattered in blood.
447
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,160
I'm going to call the Santa if the
evidence is picked up.
448
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,540
Landry knew that someone was either hurt
or there was a homicide out there.
449
00:29:07,820 --> 00:29:11,160
And that means there's a killer on the
loose.
450
00:29:29,530 --> 00:29:34,070
Massachusetts State Trooper Paul Landry
is convinced he's stumbled onto evidence
451
00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:35,330
of a violent crime.
452
00:29:35,730 --> 00:29:39,150
But what, who, and why remain a mystery?
453
00:29:41,410 --> 00:29:43,170
That's all about to change.
454
00:29:43,970 --> 00:29:44,970
Okay.
455
00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:46,350
Hi,
456
00:29:46,550 --> 00:29:48,310
I need to speak with someone about my
girlfriend. Okay, okay.
457
00:29:48,690 --> 00:29:50,810
Calm down, sir. Why don't you sit over
here for me?
458
00:29:51,030 --> 00:29:52,210
Yeah, yeah. Hold on just a minute.
459
00:29:52,670 --> 00:29:53,670
What's your name?
460
00:29:53,870 --> 00:29:56,830
Robin Benedict, 21 years old, tall.
461
00:29:57,610 --> 00:30:01,370
All right, all right, let's slow down
just for a minute. What seems to be the
462
00:30:01,370 --> 00:30:02,610
issue? She's missing.
463
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:04,550
Missing. How long has she been missing?
464
00:30:04,830 --> 00:30:05,609
Since Saturday.
465
00:30:05,610 --> 00:30:10,430
She would have returned home that
Saturday night, and she didn't. So he
466
00:30:10,430 --> 00:30:11,430
sure something was wrong.
467
00:30:11,650 --> 00:30:13,850
Do you have anything on Robin Barrett?
468
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:18,350
Benedict. Robin Benedict, age 21.
469
00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:22,110
Prostitution charges.
470
00:30:25,770 --> 00:30:30,410
Okay. They don't have any information
down at Missing Persons, but these
471
00:30:30,410 --> 00:30:32,030
have a way of working themselves out.
472
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:36,470
Frankly, the police didn't think much of
it. In the prostitution business with
473
00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:39,910
pimps, a lot of the girls do take off
and run away, never to be seen again.
474
00:30:43,490 --> 00:30:46,570
John and Shirley Benedict are also
becoming concerned.
475
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Robin's parents were getting suspicious.
476
00:30:53,620 --> 00:30:58,540
Robin's mom had called her joyfully to
tell her about a new puppy that they
477
00:30:58,540 --> 00:31:01,420
got. And they never heard from Robin.
478
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,240
Give me this. I'll just call the cops.
479
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,520
It was a girl who was missing.
480
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,460
Her family was worried.
481
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,920
What'd they say?
482
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,320
They said she's a prostitute and she's
probably out with some John.
483
00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:24,100
I said, it's okay, it's okay.
484
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,640
At first, I was still trying to get my
hand around the fact that she was
485
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,540
missing, and it was just overwhelming.
486
00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:32,760
I lost it. I started crying.
487
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:34,300
Just too much.
488
00:31:39,780 --> 00:31:43,600
Another week passes, and still no word
from Robin.
489
00:31:43,820 --> 00:31:49,240
Her father was distraught. He went to
the newspaper to try to get some
490
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,380
publicity. The story initially was
beautiful.
491
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,940
The commercial artist goes missing,
distraught dad.
492
00:31:55,260 --> 00:31:59,120
Having found out that she was a
prostitute, I didn't know. Do we report
493
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,180
Don't we report it? I felt bad for the
family. And the editor said, look, you
494
00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:04,760
know, you know this is relevant.
495
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,700
In those early days, I mean, that's all
anyone cared about is that she was a
496
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,280
prostitute, not that she was a person.
497
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,720
Pissed me off.
498
00:32:14,220 --> 00:32:15,220
Yeah, she's my sister.
499
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:19,120
Gonna love her. Try to talk some sense
into her if I had the chance, but you
500
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,120
don't treat her.
501
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,480
like trash, just because she went down
the wrong path.
502
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,520
The story catches the attention of
Trooper Paul Landry.
503
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,000
On a hunch, he reaches out to Robin's
family.
504
00:32:35,340 --> 00:32:37,460
The crime lab was nerve -wracking.
505
00:32:37,660 --> 00:32:41,440
Very, very intense for all of us.
506
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:48,300
Robin's sister, Rhonda, immediately
recognizes the brown jacket stained with
507
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:52,330
blood. Her sister, Rhonda, had tried
that very jacket on.
508
00:32:56,950 --> 00:33:00,510
Oh, my God. I love it.
509
00:33:00,790 --> 00:33:01,790
Perfect.
510
00:33:06,730 --> 00:33:07,730
It hurt.
511
00:33:07,890 --> 00:33:10,610
There was no doubt that jacket belonged
to Robin Benedict.
512
00:33:10,850 --> 00:33:13,270
She wasn't missing. There was something
far more sinister.
513
00:33:16,450 --> 00:33:21,370
Focus immediately turned to Robin's so
-called boyfriend, Louis Jones.
514
00:33:22,190 --> 00:33:28,150
His actions were very suspicious because
they had sized him up as a pimp, and so
515
00:33:28,150 --> 00:33:30,190
he became suspect number one.
516
00:33:30,430 --> 00:33:31,430
Doesn't she work for you?
517
00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:35,010
Yeah, yeah, she does.
518
00:33:35,670 --> 00:33:37,010
Prostitution, you have her pimp.
519
00:33:37,450 --> 00:33:42,270
No, no, no, not like that at all. A lot
of pimps kill their girls. They go
520
00:33:42,270 --> 00:33:44,970
wrong, and for whatever reason, they
want to leave them perhaps.
521
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,060
Yeah, you like to wrap up the women,
have some fun?
522
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,020
Look, I came here because I want to help
you guys find her.
523
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,340
I'm pretty freaking out right now.
524
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:58,240
Lewis finally caves and admits Robin is
a prostitute. He tells Landry they plan
525
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,980
to use most of the money to buy a house
in the country.
526
00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:04,700
I love Robin. I'm here because I love
her. I'm concerned for her.
527
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:09,080
You want to marry her? She's your
girlfriend and you send her out at night
528
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,679
this? I don't understand that.
529
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,580
You got to give it to Lee. It's
something to go on.
530
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,320
One of these guys you send her out to
have sex with for money?
531
00:34:17,980 --> 00:34:19,199
Help us and give us something.
532
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,719
There's this guy that's been stalking
her for a few months. You might want to
533
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,719
talk to him.
534
00:34:35,770 --> 00:34:39,050
Weeks have passed since 21 -year -old
Robin Benedict disappeared.
535
00:34:39,610 --> 00:34:43,610
Police have zeroed in on her boyfriend
and pimp, Louis Jones.
536
00:34:44,090 --> 00:34:46,389
There's this guy that's been stalking
her for a few months.
537
00:34:46,770 --> 00:34:47,790
Some professor.
538
00:34:48,090 --> 00:34:51,929
Some professor. Any idea where I can
find him? I think he works at Tupp.
539
00:34:52,330 --> 00:34:56,170
Louis let them know that the stalker was
Professor Bill Douglas.
540
00:34:56,510 --> 00:34:57,910
They owe her like $3 ,000.
541
00:34:58,910 --> 00:35:03,530
Bill had become totally obsessed with
Robin. He was writing letters to her
542
00:35:03,530 --> 00:35:04,530
day.
543
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,680
That's from my heart. I wrote that for
you.
544
00:35:09,020 --> 00:35:10,020
Okay.
545
00:35:11,460 --> 00:35:15,080
Bye. He had to see her. He had to talk
to her.
546
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:16,600
Can I get a kiss?
547
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,360
I'll see you again. He had really gone
off the cliff for Robin.
548
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Robin had been telling Lewis.
549
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,040
that Douglas was getting really
obsessive and following her around. He
550
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,440
talking outside the apartment, following
her to meetings, just not leaving her
551
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,760
alone. He would sit across the street
from her apartment and watch whenever
552
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,840
had a client go in, and he would call
vice and get her busted.
553
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,720
He was jealous. He didn't want anyone
else to be with her.
554
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,160
Mr.
555
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,580
Douglas, thank you for coming in.
556
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,240
Okay. How'd you get that bump on your
head?
557
00:35:53,580 --> 00:35:54,580
Yeah.
558
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,840
I'm really paying attention banging on
the door.
559
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,440
I'll start for a few seconds.
560
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:04,660
Bill tells officers he last saw Robin on
March 5th when she came to his house.
561
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:08,220
Like Saturday, she came to drop off some
artwork.
562
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,340
And your wife was home?
563
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,080
No.
564
00:36:12,820 --> 00:36:14,440
She was out for the evening with the
kids.
565
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,620
We know Robin didn't come by to drop off
art.
566
00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:19,880
Are you implying something?
567
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,660
If you are, you're wrong.
568
00:36:24,970 --> 00:36:25,970
Dead wrong.
569
00:36:30,610 --> 00:36:32,570
Mrs. Douglas, we have a warrant to
search the property.
570
00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:34,090
Bill!
571
00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:39,710
But as far as detectives can determine,
the trail to Robin ends with Bill
572
00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:40,710
Douglas.
573
00:36:41,730 --> 00:36:42,790
Sir, wait there.
574
00:36:43,090 --> 00:36:48,390
They found Robin's pocketbook, her
driver's license, her treasured phone
575
00:36:48,430 --> 00:36:51,830
That's her most valuable thing. So
something was really wrong.
576
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,020
There are a lot more incriminating finds
around the corner. A pair of women's
577
00:36:58,020 --> 00:37:00,760
underwear police later determined
belonged to Robin.
578
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,520
Why in God's name would you keep her
panties?
579
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,000
His wife is in the house, his kids in
the closet.
580
00:37:10,220 --> 00:37:15,460
One of the troopers found a blue
windbreaker and just happened to notice
581
00:37:15,460 --> 00:37:16,920
little blood and they took it.
582
00:37:17,140 --> 00:37:18,360
I don't understand.
583
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,480
Mrs.
584
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,880
Douglas.
585
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:23,440
Can you come here, please?
586
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:27,220
And then there's the flannel shirt
recovered in the dumpster.
587
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:28,640
Do you recognize this shirt?
588
00:37:29,820 --> 00:37:32,480
Um, yes. I think that's Bill's.
589
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,080
I did the mending on this. I think I
have the thread.
590
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Can you get that for me, please?
591
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,760
Okay.
592
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:44,840
The blue thread is an exact match.
593
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:49,060
They decided to actually place Professor
Douglas under arrest.
594
00:37:49,790 --> 00:37:51,590
charging him with the murder of Robin
Benedict.
595
00:37:54,210 --> 00:37:58,270
They had an overwhelmingly
circumstantial case, but they did not
596
00:37:58,370 --> 00:38:01,970
and I think that was something that was
a major concern.
597
00:38:02,690 --> 00:38:08,110
Weeks later, tests on Bill Douglas' blue
windbreaker come back with a match for
598
00:38:08,110 --> 00:38:09,490
human brain matter.
599
00:38:10,090 --> 00:38:14,550
For this part of the brain to be
exposed, this person will be dead.
600
00:38:15,470 --> 00:38:16,610
So that was...
601
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,700
The first evidence they had that Robin
was actually dead and not just missing.
602
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:30,060
Over the next year, while Douglas sits
in jail, investigators continue to
603
00:38:30,060 --> 00:38:31,100
for Robin's body.
604
00:38:31,500 --> 00:38:34,100
She didn't just vaporize.
605
00:38:34,300 --> 00:38:37,300
Her body was somewhere, and they were
hoping to find it.
606
00:38:38,180 --> 00:38:42,240
But Douglas is not talking, other than
to maintain his innocence.
607
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,940
The DA approached us, said, look, We can
get him to plead guilty to
608
00:38:47,940 --> 00:38:50,640
manslaughter. We can end this, save you
some grief.
609
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,320
If he gives us the body, we'll accept
the plea bargain.
610
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,160
On the morning of the trial, they
stopped the proceedings, and it was
611
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,580
that Professor Douglas was going to
plead guilty.
612
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:06,040
But he pled guilty to manslaughter.
613
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,760
Douglas finally gets his version of that
fateful night.
614
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,520
What are you doing here?
615
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:14,720
Where's my money?
616
00:39:15,470 --> 00:39:16,470
Get out.
617
00:39:16,730 --> 00:39:19,610
Get out of my house. You owe me $3 ,000.
618
00:39:20,010 --> 00:39:23,230
I don't. And I'm here to get it. Douglas
was telling her he didn't have any
619
00:39:23,230 --> 00:39:26,550
money. Maybe Nancy has my money. Stop
it. $3 ,000?
620
00:39:26,910 --> 00:39:29,610
You're embarrassing me. Where is it?
What are you doing?
621
00:39:29,830 --> 00:39:32,710
Oh, my God. There's so many. Get out of
my stuff.
622
00:39:33,130 --> 00:39:35,490
How come you can't pay me my money? I
don't.
623
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:49,940
Dr. Thady hit her again, and finally he
wrestled a sledgehammer and
624
00:39:49,940 --> 00:39:56,520
then brought it down upon the top of her
skull three times,
625
00:39:56,740 --> 00:40:00,540
so deep that he could look in and see
brain matter.
626
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,460
And he said he knew she was dead.
627
00:40:05,860 --> 00:40:11,220
And as a result of your striking Robin
Benedict with that hammer, did you cause
628
00:40:11,220 --> 00:40:12,038
her death?
629
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,040
Yes, sir.
630
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:17,220
Bill Douglas told very self -serving
stories that tried to make himself look
631
00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:18,220
like the victim.
632
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,118
Health defense?
633
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,480
No. I mean, come on. It doesn't make
sense to me. It's all lies.
634
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:30,820
According to his testimony, Bill then
begins cleaning up his dirty work.
635
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:33,080
Now he had a problem.
636
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,520
He knew his wife and children would be
back fairly soon.
637
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,220
He had to get rid of the body.
638
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,540
So he took Robin in the blue comforter.
639
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,300
put her in the trunk of her car, and
then started driving around.
640
00:40:50,660 --> 00:40:55,320
He stows Robin's bloody jacket, the
sledgehammer, and his shirt in the
641
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,220
off the Massachusetts Turnpike.
642
00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:03,980
And then he drove away, but he still had
the problem of her body.
643
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:09,420
Bill drives all the way to Providence,
Rhode Island, and leaves Robin's body in
644
00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:10,420
another dumpster.
645
00:41:10,710 --> 00:41:13,170
One he knows feeds a massive landfill.
646
00:41:14,210 --> 00:41:19,790
And one of them was so massive that it
would have been a completely futile
647
00:41:19,790 --> 00:41:24,130
effort to try and dig it out and find
her body. So as far as we know, that's
648
00:41:24,130 --> 00:41:26,450
probably where Robin remains forever.
649
00:41:28,970 --> 00:41:34,490
They never got what the family really
wanted with her remains so they could
650
00:41:34,490 --> 00:41:37,350
her. Not knowing is hard.
651
00:41:37,930 --> 00:41:39,090
Where are her remains?
652
00:41:39,850 --> 00:41:41,230
It would be nice if we could bury her.
653
00:41:42,310 --> 00:41:47,390
Bill pleads guilty to manslaughter and
is sentenced to 18 to 20 years.
654
00:41:58,770 --> 00:42:02,110
Two families shattered by secrets.
655
00:42:03,010 --> 00:42:08,070
I thought we were a typical middle
-class family, decent upbringing.
656
00:42:08,910 --> 00:42:13,490
To hear your sister had a secret life,
hear this professor had a secret life,
657
00:42:13,670 --> 00:42:16,190
that he murdered your sister and how he
did it.
658
00:42:16,590 --> 00:42:18,290
She's been dead longer than she's been
alive.
659
00:42:19,630 --> 00:42:22,790
It does get easier with time, but it's
still touchy.
660
00:42:23,570 --> 00:42:25,210
Wherever you are, Robin, I miss you.
