Amber Burch, are both
now charged with murder.

Ever since
Pazuzu was arrested,

I've been trying to get
past the rumors and the

sensationalist headlines to
get to the real story

behind this man,
his crimes, his victims,

and how this could have
happened in our community.

For those five years
that Josh was missing,

Jared did not receive
any social security money.

It seems like the police
just didn't do their job,

and maybe if we could prove
that we could get back

some of the money that
Jared is entitled to.

There's the search
warrants from 2014,

and then we found out that
the search warrants were sealed.

There is something in those
search warrants that

law enforcement didn't want out.

28‐year‐old Krystal Matlock
has been charged with

accessory after the fact.

Documents state she assisted
Algarad with concealing an

unidentified male body between
June and August of 2009.

Doctor actually
diagnosed him with

Schizotypal
Personality Disorder.

The guy's
clinically psychotic.

Pazuzu Algarad was found
unresponsive in his cell

at Central Prison at
approximately 3 am

on the morning of October 28.

The authorities
say it's a suicide,

but they don't know exactly
how he killed himself.

And the prison system
goes on and

suffers zero repercussions.

I'm going to get drugs.

Lots of drugs.

Then I'll feel better
about everything and

it doesn't really matter
what I've done.

I look up and it's midnight,
and my son is

standing there in the door.

And, his face looks
swollen and he's sweaty,

eyes are bugged out,
and they're bloodshot.

That's not your kid.

I'm very often the unexpected

She said she wanted to raise
the question of whether

So, we had these two
layers of problem here.

You had a, a sealing order
that ran counter to

the North Carolina
Public Records Law,

and counter to the
cases interpreting

the first amendment.

Usually a search warrant
is sealed either to

protect the integrity of
an investigation, or,

to ensure the fair trial of any
defendants who are charged.

What was it that was in the
search warrants that

needed to continue to be sealed?
We didn't know.

AMANDA: That the laws of public
records are there for

very good reasons, and
the interest in that is

never stronger than when
we're talking about oversight,

if you will,
of law enforcement.

These are people who
walk around with guns;

they arrest people;
they search people's homes.

I mean, they have more
power than you can imagine,

and so, I'm not saying they
shouldn't have that power,

but I always feel that the
tradeoff for that is that

we should be able to see
how it gets exercised.

At that point with Matlock
being the final defendant,

I saw no reason to keep them
secret any longer

because the investigation
was concluded.

Everyone had been
brought to justice.

Two weeks after Pazuzu
murders Josh Wetzler,

Terina Billings goes to the
police to tell them

what her father told her
about a murder.

Now, you know,
in my opinion,

the unsealed warrants
make it seem like what the

Sheriff's Department did may
have actually made things worse.

Now, I decided to take the
documents to an

old buddy of mine who's
a retired detective.

He was actually on the
force for 30 years and

his perspective in this
case is gonna be critical.

Application for
search warrant.

On August the 4th,
Foster goes to the location

and actually talks to Pazuzu.

He just says he went
there and at some point,

the detective did tell him
that he'd received information

from several individuals
that Pazuzu had shot and

killed someone in his
basement and

buried the body in the backyard.

I don't know that I would
have told all that right then.

Mhm?

I would've found
some other reason.

I'd 'a wanted to get in the
house or walk through the yard.

I'd want to make some
observations because

if he says, "I don't know
what you're talking about.

Get off my property
and stay off," then,

you're shot in the foot.

I would 'a probably just
come up with something.

Somebody says you're growing
weed in the backyard and...

that way, then maybe
he would have said,

you know, especially if that's
not true, he's gonna say,

"I ain't growing no weed
back there. You can go look."

That's what I want.

I want him to give me that
access so that I'm looking

for these other things, like
a body or a mound of dirt,

freshly dug
hole or something.

So, you know,
and they can lie to him.

I would probably
take a look,

continue to gather
information from sources,

and then at some other time,
once I was just about ready

to get a search warrant
or had the search warrant,

then I might would
have gone out there

before executing the
search warrant and said,

"Now guess what your neighbors
are‐‐ or people are saying?"

Next is‐‐

spoke with Stacey Carter.

One of the things that kind
of keeps coming back to me

with this is the
notion of parenthood.

And as, during this whole
process my children have

gotten older, and I'm
starting to go through

stuff with my kids.
You feel...

one of them, you know,
just kind of slipping away and

hanging out, doing with
people you shouldn't be

hanging out with, the same
kind of people that ended up

over there at Knob Hill,
at Pazuzu's house.

My son's headed right there.

I feel you. My heart is
going out to you.

I really don't know
what to say right now,

is that you gotta be strong.
Spend more time with him.

Yeah.

Do more father and son
things with your son.

Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.

Okay. You're welcome.
You're gonna be fine.

‐ Thanks for the time.
‐ You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.
You take control.

Don't feed into the
people out there.

I won't. And, please take
care of yourself.

Oh, I'm doing that.
But you're gonna be fine.

Take hold of your son, honey.
I wish I had one more.

Maybe the most disturbing
thing that the

search warrants show ‐
in my opinion ‐

is that time and again it seems
that people told the police

what Pazuzu was doing, and
for one reason or another,

they didn't manage to
stop him for 5 years.

It finally took his
own buddy, Matt Flowers,

to get them to act.

the story in so many ways.
