**

Berlinger: In the small town of Chillicothe, Ohio,

six women have gone missing --

young mothers caught in a vicious cycle

of addiction and prostitution.

Four of them have turned up dead.

Woman: I found a woman's body in the creek.

Berlinger: I'm Joe Berlinger.

I'm a documentary filmmaker and an activist.

I'm working with forensic intelligence analyst

Angela Clemente

and former FBI agent Steve Bongardt...

We'd really like to talk to you.

...to find out what happened to these women.

We got to get justice.

All of us in here have to get justice.

Berlinger: As we delve deeper into these cases,

our investigation expanded

to nine victims across three cities in Ohio.

A prominent drug trafficker in the area,

Ernest "Dollar Bill" Moore,

emerged as a common person of interest

in more than half of the victims' cases.

All the girls that have passed away

and that have, you know, been found missing,

Dollar Bill knew every one of them.

And in the death of Tameka Lynch,

sources point to Crail Brooks,

a man who worked with Dollar Bill.

**

And now we're on the verge of a major breakthrough

that could blow this investigation wide open.

So there's potentially a graveyard out there.

Yeah. We could have a killing field out here.

Ruth: There's somebody out there that knows what went on,

but they just won't tell because they're scared.

Magill: So we pray, "Our Father..."

Heather: He put the gun to my chest, and he said, "Live or die."

Landrum: Everybody who knows information

that tries to come out and talk about it, they end up dead.

Coleman: He gave her a hot shot of heroin.

Kellough: And I said, "I know who your son is,

and I know what he did, too."

Sam: If she's out there, please just let her go

[Echoing] and let her come home.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

[ Indistinct chanting ]

Hayes: You can't even walk into a public restroom

without seeing the remains of someone

who's been struggling with a drug addiction.

We're not going to be that generation

that leaves the remains of our struggles and our addictions

laying around for the other people to have to bear with us.

Berlinger: Despite the opiate epidemic that our country is facing,

the next generation is taking on the problem

and making a difference.

[ All chant indistinctly ]

High school kids across Southern Ohio

are signing up in record numbers for voluntary drug testing

as part of a unique program called MADE.

**

MADE is an acronym for "My Attitude Determines Everything."

The unique thing about this program

is that it is student led.

It is students around you saying,

"Hey, there's a better option."

I have great pride in my town,

and I've seen what drugs have done to it.

And I don't want to see drugs take over.

And this club has given us the power to affect those our age,

and that's going to affect our future.

It's so refreshing to talk to you guys.

I mean, really, it's very inspiring.

Although the future looks bright for these kids,

there is much to be done today.

**

All of the missing and murdered women

were victims of the drug scourge

that is currently plaguing the nation.

Throne: There is no question in my mind --

multiple people know what happened

with all of these women,

and we need those folks to come forward.

[ Sobbing ]

The families need it.

Law enforcement needs it.

The community needs it.

It's always in the back of our heads, you know?

What -- What happened?

**

Berlinger: In the case of Shasta Himelrick...

...we uncover shocking new information linking her

to one of Chillicothe's most notorious drug dealers.

**

All right. Let's talk about Shasta Himelrick,

last seen alive on December 26, 2014.

Man: Today, the Ross County coroner confirmed

the body pulled from the Scioto River yesterday

was Shasta Himelrick.

The coroner said she drowned.

**

Ruled a suicide. Family doesn't believe it was a suicide.

Clemente: She was pregnant, and she was excited about it.

Shortly before her death, Shasta discovered

she was going to have a baby with her boyfriend, Mike Owes.

Dutchess: December 16th of 2014, she said,

"I found out that I'm having a baby.

I'm just so happy. I really want this."

And that was the end of our conversation.

Berlinger: Although friends and family say she inherited $50,000,

Shasta's financial records show a deposit of just $35,800

after her father died in August of 2014.

Reportedly, most of it was spent on drugs

and her boyfriend, Mike Owes, who has a long rap sheet,

including assault and drug possession.

I got Shasta's bank statements.

On 12/26, sometime between midnight and 3:15 a.m.,

she takes out $20,

and then later, $43 at the Speedway,

and that was the last of her money.

Mm.

Who would go to the ATM at 3:15 at the Speedway,

not buy anything,

and just withdraw your last bit of money

if you're intending to kill yourself?

That doesn't make sense to me.

Winfield: That night, Shasta had text messages back and forth

between Michael Owes,

which, you know, turns this into a disagreement.

Shasta wanted Michael to stay with her

because it was their first Christmas together.

He had went out to another house

where he had a known girl

that he had associated with in the past.

Berlinger: Shasta's last text to Mike Owes

was at 3:33 a.m. on the night she went missing.

This message reportedly revealed

Shasta's despondent state of mind

and seemed to tip the scales in the coroner's decision

to rule her death a suicide.

Woman: If you hadn't had

the text messages on that phone,

would you have ruled differently?

It's hard to say if I would have ruled differently.

If we didn't have the text messages --

That's a very hard thing to guess at.

If I had no other evidence,

I would have had to say likely undetermined.

Berlinger: Shasta's abandoned car was found near the railroad tracks

next to the Higby Road Bridge at 7:32 a.m.

The driver and passenger-side doors were wide open.

**

Winfield: There was blood that was found inside her vehicle,

on the cellphone,

and then in the front part of the vehicle, as well.

There was indications that she had self-mutilated

with a razor blade.

We're seeing a lot more of that with the drug trade,

where people is, you know, cutting their self a lot.

But I know that those incision marks

did not cause her to bleed to death.

Those did not contribute to her death.

Dutchess: It just doesn't make any sense.

I don't think Shasta committed suicide.

I think somebody had threw her off the bridge.

**

Pettler: It's the location on the bridge,

I think, that's so significant to us here.

It's so close to the shore.

It's not the middle.

-That's pretty shallow. -Yeah.

Berlinger: After reviewing Shasta's case,

Laura Pettler, a forensic criminologist

who specializes in crime-scene staging,

takes Angela and Steve to the bridge

where 20-year-old Shasta allegedly jumped to her death.

Oddly, her shoes were found perfectly placed together.

Would it be more consistent with suicide

to jump in the deep water? Yes.

Rather than jump in the shallow water?

Yes.

**

Pettler: In the National Weather Service,

it reported that the water in this river

crested at three feet that night.

Bongardt: Mm. That's it.

You would think from that kind of a fall in shallow water,

you might have a chance of injuring yourself.

Berlinger: But according to the autopsy report,

there were no injuries on Shasta's body.

Pettler: We know from the victimology that she was a good swimmer.

Clemente: She was a very good swimmer, and she loved water.

Berlinger: How could an accomplished swimmer like Shasta

have jumped off a 40-foot bridge into less than 3 feet of water

and drowned to death and have no physical injuries to her body?

**

There is such a thing as a perfect homicide,

and usually, it revolves around a staged suicide, right?

Is it possible that Shasta's shoes

were placed on the bridge to make it look like she jumped?

**

Police checked out Mike Owes' alibi.

Lavender: Michael Owes was investigated.

He took a polygraph,

and he was pretty much cleared by polygraph.

Berlinger: But according to a confidential source

we're calling "Timothy,"

Shasta may have been hiding a deadly secret.

What about the theory that Shasta was an informant?

You had heard that?

**

What about the theory that Shasta was an informant?

You had heard that?

**

Berlinger: News that Shasta may have been a police informant is troubling,

especially when some of our confidential sources

tell us that Mike Owes ran drugs

for one of Ohio's most brutal drug dealers, Dollar Bill,

and even more alarming,

that Shasta herself was also connected to Dollar Bill.

Shasta and Dollar Bill were together? Mm-hmm.

What were they doing when you saw them?

**

Mm-hmm.

**

Berlinger: Our sources tell us that drug dealers

routinely use female addicts

in their ruthless drug- and sex-trafficking rings.

And according to Dollar Bill's former associate,

a man we're calling "Austin,"

Dollar Bill also used Shasta to transport his drugs.

**

If Shasta was an informant and she snitched on Dollar Bill,

could that have been a motive for murder?

Could Shasta's death, like many of the other victims' cases,

be tied to Dollar Bill?

Sadly, these questions may never be answered

unless Shasta's case is reopened.

**

But while we were investigating

Ernest "Dollar Bill" Moore in Chillicothe,

he was negotiating a plea deal

on a separate federal drug-trafficking charge

for selling narcotics across state lines.

**

According to Dollar Bill's plea agreement,

he was cooperating with law enforcement

in exchange for a reduced sentence.

It would be an ironic twist

if the man who claimed he couldn't tolerate informants

has seemingly become an informant himself.

But that irony leaves little comfort

for the victims' families.

And the families deserve closure.

They deserve the right person

that, you know, gets held accountable.

You know, justice needs to be served.

**

Man: Police are treating Sayre's death as a homicide,

and the person responsible is still out there.

Berlinger: Tiffany Sayre is the only victim that law enforcement

is currently investigating as a homicide.

Her family has been fighting for answers

since she disappeared in May of 2015.

**

Ruth: Can you tell him? Who's this?

Rylee: Mommy. There's Mommy.

There's Mommy. There's Mommy.

There's me and Mommy.

Ruth: She promised the girls ice cream.

[ Voice breaking ] Tiff never did show up.

**

Woman: I have an emergency.

I found a woman's body in the creek.

The day I went to identify the body, after I saw her,

I walked out, told the funeral director,

"That's not my niece."

**

Berlinger: After two long years,

the Sayre family finally has some measure of closure,

but they still don't know what happened to Tiffany

the night she disappeared.

Sharing their frustration,

we decide to follow up one more time

with the last person to see Tiffany alive,

Jessie Sanford.

**

So, come on in and --

-You remember Joe. -Hey, there.

-Hi. -Good to see you again.

-You, too. -Thanks for coming.

Mm-hmm.

When you talked to us last time, you --

-Different situation, right? -Yes.

I went to prison.

**

**

Tell me about that last night

before she went missing.

That night, we went out and copped some dope.

That was probably about, I want to say 11:00.

-Mm-hmm. -And then we went back

to my dad's house. We got high.

She told me she was ready to go.

She's like, "I wish somebody would walk me home."

I walked her down the steps, and I went and laid down.

Berlinger: What do you think happened to her?

I've thought about this the whole time I was in prison.

Dollar was trapping out of a house on Sugar Street

that was right beside the alley that she went in to go home.

**

So that night, there's a good chance

that Dollar Bill was selling out of that house --

That's what I think.

Could you talk a little bit more about

her relationship with Dollar Bill?

-Just a -- -They tricked together.

Did Tiffany ever steal from Dollar Bill?

She stole from many people.

Mm-hmm?

That's the addict in people.

You feel like there's something

you could've done differently that night?

I wish I would've walked her home.

But then you would've been in this situation.

Maybe they wouldn't take us both.

**

It's okay.

You feel guilty, right?

You don't -- You shouldn't --

You're having survivor's guilt, right?

Yeah. 'Cause you were with her that night.

Yeah.

This picture was actually taken the day before she went missing.

How somebody can do that to somebody who's so beautiful --

**

[ Buttons beeping ]

Berlinger: Armed with the information that Dollar Bill

was selling drugs out of a house

on the same route Tiffany took to walk home,

we reach out to some of Dollar Bill's associates

to learn more about the night Tiffany went missing.

Arlene Avery, one of Dollar Bill's accomplices

in the Arthur Hamlin torture case,

agrees to speak to us from prison.

Woman: This call is from a correction facility

and is subject to monitoring and recording.

Arlene?

Hi. How are you? This is Angela Clemente.

So you were one of Dollar Bill's drivers in the summer of 2015.

Is that right?

**

**

According to Arlene Avery, Officer Chip Campbell

of the Chillicothe Police Department

had a conversation with Dollar Bill

about the night Tiffany Sayre disappeared.

Why did Chip Campbell call Dollar Bill?

**

**

Oh, because Tiffany called him

on the night that she went missing?

Wow. Okay.

Yeah, this is very helpful, Arlene.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it, Arlene.

You're great. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Clemente: That's a really explosive piece of information.

You know, with Tiffany Sayre calling Dollar Bill

the night that she went missing,

and you couple that with the information

that we've now found out that he had a trap house

on the way where she was walking down that alley,

that's something that raises a red flag to me right away.

Berlinger: Could Tiffany have met Dollar Bill

on that fateful night, never to be seen again?

Berlinger: Because of the new information we have uncovered,

it's time for one of our periodic updates

with the victims' families.

**

Thanks for seeing us.

We've been working on this for quite a while, as you know,

and we just wanted to kind of update you a little bit

and check in with you, and --

You guys has worked really hard on this case.

And you have been there from day one of this,

and you deserve the closure as much as we do.

Clemente: So, you want to start with Jessie?

-Good to see you again. -You, too.

-Thanks for coming. -Mm-hmm.

Berlinger: We did a filmed interview with her.

Bongardt: And one of the things that she told us

is that when Tiffany left that night,

she went by a trap house

that Dollar Bill was operating out of,

And his trap house was on that alley,

just around the corner from here.

**

We do know there was a call made that night

from Tiffany to Dollar Bill.

This is all circumstantial type evidence, right,

but it's how you build a case.

Clemente: We're hearing that, a lot of times, he would retaliate

if someone owed him money.

-He was her drug supplier. -Right.

She owed him money, I would say.

As we learn more and more about Dollar Bill,

he's got an explosive personality,

and it wouldn't be any problem

for him to act out against her.

[ Voice breaking ] I heard her scream that night.

She called me. I could swear it was her.

"Mamaw! Grandma!" And I didn't hear her anymore.

You thought you heard that the night that she went missing? I thought I did. Yes.

It was her voice. I'm positive.

I know I wasn't dreaming. It had to be her.

And then we never found her no more,

never heard from her no more.

I empathize with your plight.

**

Berlinger: When I first read about these cases, I just --

It broke my heart.

[ Crying ] You don't know how much it means to me.

And my niece is my world.

She's not my child, but she is my firstborn niece

and I loved her dearly.

Your courage is amazing.

Clemente: Yeah. You've done great.

We're going to, you know, continue doing this.

We're in this for as long as we need to be.

**

Berlinger: Having learned that Tiffany may have been in contact

with Dollar Bill on the day she disappeared,

we returned to another case that has parallels to hers.

Like Tiffany, Tameka Lynch's body was found in water

near Bainbridge, 20 miles from Chillicothe.

Man: Detectives say the body is 30-year-old Tameka Lynch.

Investigators took her fingerprints

to compare to the badly decomposed remains.

**

Berlinger: Nearly three years later,

Tameka's mother is still struggling to comprehend

what happened to her daughter.

Although no eyewitness has stepped forward,

the sources we've spoken to

claim that they've heard what happened to Tameka

directly from the persons responsible.

**

On May 24th, Tameka Lynch's naked body

is found in Paint Creek.

This is the first body found of the Chillicothe Six.

So, let's talk about Crail Brooks,

low-level drug dealer working with Dollar Bill.

Multiple charges of domestic violence and assault.

Crail Brooks was arrested for drug trafficking

just 12 days after Tameka was found,

6 minutes from where Tameka's body was found.

Berlinger: Several individuals allege that Tameka was at a party

in Bainbridge with Crail Brooks.

Do you know if Tameka was murdered?

And, if so, by who?

Uh, yes. Yes, she was.

**

Berlinger: You know, she might have been killed with a hot shot,

you know, a purposeful mixture of drugs

that will kill you.

Bongardt: Could make it look like an overdose,

but it's actually a homicide.

Berlinger: At one of our meetings with Tameka's mother,

she shared her suspicions with us.

**

I think the story that we've heard is true --

Crail.

Berlinger: Now we head over to see Tameka's mother

to let her know what we've been able

to find out about Crail Brooks and to give her a warning.

**

-Hi! -Good to see you.

How are you?

How you been? Hanging in there?

Bongardt: With regards to your daughter,

it wasn't your traditional serial killer.

It wasn't a stranger that did this to her.

It was somebody that she knew fairly well.

And our confidential sources have told us that...

Crail Brooks and Dollar

were involved with Tameka's death.

**

**

-You okay? -Mm-hmm.

It's hard to hear.

**

Crail is in prison now,

and he's going to get out in a couple months.

Really?

So we wanted to make sure that, you know,

you were not kept in the dark.

And while we still have an ongoing investigation,

we're going to continue doing that.

Even when the cameras are gone,

you know, you're going to not get rid of me.

Great. [ Both laugh ]

We want to find answers.

We feel we're getting closer to the truth.

**

**

What we do know is, Charlotte Trego

was the first one to go missing in Chillicothe.

Man: Trego, who went missing May 2014,

is one of three missing persons cases

Chillicothe police are pursuing.

Clemente: We know that the last contact,

of course, was with her mom on May 3rd,

and we also know that Charlotte was driving back and forth

to Gallipolis,

helping Dollar Bill do business there.

And then, of course, Charlotte said she owed Dollar Bill money,

so that's really important.

**

**

Berlinger: Our investigation takes an unexpected turn

when new information surfaces

that seem to contradict our previous theory.

So, you've uncovered some good information.

I have.

While Angela was investigating the cases of Tameka Lynch

and Charlotte Trego,

several people came forward with compelling new leads.

**

And these are the people who now have become

confidential sources for you, right?

-Yes. -So what is the motivation

for these people coming forward now?

Why are these people wanting to give information?

Dollar Bill was just sentenced to 22 years in prison.

He's not as much of a threat to them anymore.

And then the second reason,

they're hearing that Crail is going to get out of prison.

In December, so they're concerned for their safety

because he's getting out of prison?

Correct.

Obviously, we spent a lot of time

believing that Charlotte met her demise in Gallipolis,

and that the body was buried

on that property.

What I'm hearing now is

sources were saying, that were close to Dollar,

he was throwing out information that was inaccurate

to throw people off.

So, to misdirect everyone to think

it might have happened in Gallipolis

when, in fact, it hadn't.

Correct.

But in a surprising twist, this new information

points back to the original leads we had uncovered.

**

Remember everybody was talking

about that big party in Bainbridge?

Yeah, the Bainbridge party. Yes.

What I learned was that Charlotte and Tameka

-were together. -The evening of the party?

The evening of the party.

Now we're heading right into Bainbridge.

We're almost here, and we're going to the first location

that my sources have told me that this big party happened.

**

-So, this is the -- -So, this is the party place.

This is the party place.

This trailer is allegedly where Charlotte and Tameka

went to party with one of their drug dealers,

Crail Brooks.

They were together, and there were a lot of people there,

so there's a lot of sources to identify that they were there.

What were the last few weeks of their life like?

What state were they in?

Both of them were in very heavy addiction.

Charlotte owed money. Tameka owed money.

They were robbing people,

and this can make a drug dealer angry,

if you're owing them money and you're not paying

and you're ripping people off.

And remember our timeline?

This is why, you know, Charlotte may not have been

heard from, you know, too much by her mother.

There was that long gap where she was not heard from,

which, you know, made us think that they didn't die together.

Right.

So what do your sources tell us?

What happened in that trailer?

Here's a piece that I can't give too much information.

Angela explains that she can't divulge on camera

all of the information her confidential informants gave her

because certain details might reveal their identity

to the killers, and thus endanger their lives.

This is the first time I think I've done a show

where it's, like, so current

and it's leading to a prosecution

that my natural tendency

is to want to reveal certain information.

So it's a little frustrating. Yes.

It seems we now know where the party took place,

but we still don't know when.

Clemente: One of my sources said

that there was very bad storms that night,

and it knocked out a lot of power around Bainbridge.

So you take that timeline, and you look.

Was there a storm during any of this period

between when Charlotte went missing and Tameka went missing?

And the one day that comes up is the 21st.

And the coroner said that Tameka was found

three days after she had died.

Right. She was found on the 24th,

three days exactly before that night.

It fits with the coroner's statement.

It was a very specific piece of information.

Yeah. So, just to be clear,

in fairness,

none of this has been proven in a court of law,

-so these are all just theories. -Right. Right.

But, remember, again, there were a lot of people here.

So, a lot of people are talking.

Yeah. So, where are we going to go now?

The next place we're going to go is where

Tameka was potentially dumped.

Angela believes that at some point

on the night of May 21, 2014,

Charlotte and Tameka left the party to buy cigarettes.

Then they either returned to the trailer

or to another location down the street,

where Crail Brooks would be arrested

on drug trafficking charges

just 2 weeks later.

Either way, Tameka died

soon after they got back from the store.

**

Under what circumstances? How did it happen?

Now, I'm getting two different pieces on this,

but most of them are saying

that Tameka received a hot shot.

Charlotte, apparently, when she watched Tameka die,

she did freak out.

Why was she given a hot shot -- Tameka?

She was given a hot shot because she owed money.

Charlotte and Tameka owed Crail and Dollar money.

And they're not tolerating being owed money

because they want to send a message

that you can't not pay the drug dealer?

Right. Dollar was very angry

with anybody that even owed him $20,

even though he was dealing with a lot higher numbers.

When someone owed him money, he was not going to allow that.

The perfect murder weapon is giving someone a hot shot

that's an addict.

Although the hot shot theory is still very plausible,

some of Angela's other sources now say

that Tameka died from an accidental overdose

and that they dumped her body

in order to avoid being held responsible for her death.

**

And, so, your confidential source told you

that this was the site where Tameka was dumped, right?

For me, investigatively,

I think this is the most plausible spot

that it actually happened.

Right.

According to the autopsy report,

Tameka had injuries to her head and chest

that would be consistent with being thrown off a bridge.

**

The water levels were high.

It flowed down that way.

Her body got caught on that sandbar

and couldn't go any further when the water went down.

Yeah.

This is not that secluded a road, actually,

so do you think they would be brazen enough

to dump a body at night?

We've learned that it was a stormy night.

-Right. -We didn't know that before.

You know, stormy, dark, you know, no streetlights, raining,

probably not many people are going to be out.

And the bridge being low,

I think it would be easy for -- Open the door and push.

-I mean, it's -- -Right. It is pretty low.

In fact, so low it's making me a little nervous. Right.

So do we have information about how many people were involved?

No. No.

I don't.

Okay.

Berlinger: This scenario seems to be consistent

with what Artie Hamlin,

Dollar Bill's former associate, told us.

-Okay. -Okay?

-Okay. Okay. -Okay? Yeah.

**

There was some corroboration there.

It's like this is the spot.

Clemente: Exactly.

But another mystery remains.

After they dumped Tameka's body, what happened to Charlotte?

**

Berlinger: The next day, we set out

to retrace what may have been the last hours

of Charlotte Trego's life.

According to some of Angela's sources,

after Charlotte witnessed Tameka's death,

she was then taken to a remote wooded area.

Thanks to specific GPS coordinates

that Angela was able to secure,

we can now to zero in on the exact location.

**

How confident are you about this information?

I'm very confident.

Slow down.

It's right here.

-In here? -Yep.

This is the location right here.

-Yeah. -'Cause it's private property.

Okay. Well, let's check it out.

Well, this is it.

It's really deep in.

You have to walk quite a ways.

Can see how dense, you know,

as far as, like, it goes back really far.

Was Charlotte alive when she was brought here?

Was she killed here? Was she burned here?

The elements that I can say

that won't hurt the integrity of the case --

Right, 'cause there's certain details that you can't reveal

because it's such singular information

that it will point a finger to your confidential sources,

and we need to protect those sources

as well as protect the integrity of the investigation.

So I understand there are certain things

-you can't even tell me. -Right.

The one thing I can say,

it's supposed to have been Crail and Dollar

and potentially one or two other people that came out here,

that Charlotte was alive when she arrived here.

Once Charlotte saw Tameka die, she freaked out,

and they felt that she was a liability now.

She was, you know, a potential witness to this.

She would inform on them.

She was an addict, you know?

"Look, we need to get rid of her."

-Right. -And so she did die here.

**

Hmm.

Angela can't reveal the details of her source's account

of how Dollar Bill and Crail Brooks

allegedly killed Charlotte in these woods,

but she does share some startling new information.

When I was told about this location,

that there were not just Charlotte's body here,

but there are others.

So, there's potentially a graveyard out there.

Yeah. We could have a killing field out here.

This could be their dumping spot

and murder spot, actually.

-I -- -And what if we're wrong?

What if there's nothing out there?

I do feel that she's here.

Charlotte and I don't know who else,

but I do feel that she's here.

The information was just too specific.

What's the next step from an investigative standpoint?

I believe this is a federal case,

because Dollar Bill was distributing and, you know --

Distributing drugs across state lines.

Right.

They're going to Mexico,

bringing the drugs in from Mexico.

Then there's murder, also, so,

you know, there's a lot of elements

that raises it to a level of RICO.

RICO. Yes.

**

The next step is the property needs to be secured,

and they need to come in here and do a search,

so in order to do that, this is private property,

so they need to get a search warrant

to go in there and search the property.

In order to get law enforcement involved,

Angela reaches out to her contact at BCI,

Ohio's Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

I have a location of where Charlotte's remains might be.

You're going to want to get a search warrant

for this particular property

and actually get out there as soon as possible

so that anything isn't moved.

**

Berlinger: As we wait for BCI's response,

we head out to update Charlotte's mother,

Yvonne Boggs.

She's a little tricky to update,

because, you know,

she's probably still holding out hope

that her daughter is alive.

I think that she's extremely fragile,

and any parent would hold out hope that --

-Of course. Of course. -You know?

[ Railroad crossing bells dinging ]

[ Train horn blows ]

**

Berlinger: When we started this, we said we would keep you updated

and tell you some of the things we've discovered.

Yeah.

Berlinger: As gently as we can, we let Yvonne know

that Charlotte may have witnessed Tameka's death

and may have been taken out

to a remote location in the woods and killed.

**

We have an indication of where those woods might be

where her remains could be, so I know that's hard to hear.

Yeah.

I mean, as far as "remains," but --

**

[ Sighs ]

I don't know if I'm really

letting all this sink in right now.

I mean, it may hit me later. I don't know.

-Yeah. -But --

You know, even though we're ending our filming,

we're going to continue, you know,

to try to do what we can here.

And Angela is, you know, tireless,

and she's going to keep working on it

even with the cameras not around, so...

-And we appreciate that. We do. -Yeah.

[ Railroad crossing bells dinging ]

Berlinger: We started this investigation wondering if these young women

had fallen victim to a serial killer.

Everybody's scared, but damn if I'm gonna back down.

I want to know what happened to my granddaughter.

Berlinger: But accusations of police corruption

made us dismiss this theory.

They don't give two shits about these girls.

Where is the accountability?

I just want my baby girl to come home.

Berlinger: But, ironically, we've come full circle.

Could it be that the person responsible

for these disappearances and deaths

is a different kind of serial killer?

Not a deranged stranger lurking in the shadows,

but local heroin dealers killing their victims in plain sight?

Sometimes bringing cameras, you know,

allows things to come out into the sunshine.

Or maybe the serial killer

is simply heroin addiction itself

and all of its collateral damage

that is plaguing this community

and many others all across America.

[ Siren wails, indistinct radio chatter ]

Sadly, there will be many more victims

of drug-related sex trafficking and violent crime

unless our communities can effectively combat

this devastating opiate epidemic

that is gripping the nation.
