1
00:00:04,934 --> 00:00:07,104
[crows cawing]
2
00:00:08,834 --> 00:00:11,634
[man] Larry was a very
shy kid.
3
00:00:11,667 --> 00:00:14,867
Very eager to please.
4
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:18,470
Exceedingly respectful
and soft-spoken.
5
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:20,700
And seemingly gentle.
6
00:00:20,734 --> 00:00:22,474
Oh, he wouldn't hurt a flea.
7
00:00:24,667 --> 00:00:26,867
But there was this...
8
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:29,100
duality to him.
9
00:00:29,133 --> 00:00:32,073
Something we would call
"Jekyll and Hyde."
10
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,530
He really lived to kill.
11
00:00:35,567 --> 00:00:37,267
[muffled screaming]
12
00:00:39,233 --> 00:00:40,573
[tires screech]
13
00:00:44,166 --> 00:00:46,166
[theme music playing]
14
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:08,373
Welcome to Very Scary People.
15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,930
I'm Donny Wahlberg.
16
00:01:09,967 --> 00:01:12,997
Like a wild animal
hunting for easy prey,
17
00:01:13,033 --> 00:01:15,633
he stalked young girls
and women he caught alone.
18
00:01:15,667 --> 00:01:18,667
Walking, running, bicycling.
19
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:21,000
There was no escape
from this predator.
20
00:01:21,033 --> 00:01:22,803
Once in the grip
of his horrifying urge
21
00:01:22,834 --> 00:01:24,974
to rape and kill
he ended defenseless lives
22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,800
that had hardly begun.
23
00:01:26,834 --> 00:01:28,234
It seemed like
that he might never be caught.
24
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,500
Could the mystery man
investigators finally took
25
00:01:31,533 --> 00:01:33,633
into custody be the killer?
26
00:01:33,667 --> 00:01:36,827
Or was he nothing more than
a troubled wannabe serial killer,
27
00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:38,227
making false confessions.
28
00:01:38,967 --> 00:01:41,197
This is part one
of "The Twin."
29
00:02:00,867 --> 00:02:02,867
[reporter] Tricia Reitler
took a walk off campus
30
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:06,270
and never came back to Indiana
Wesleyan University.
31
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,700
Some of her clothing was found
with a small amount of blood.
32
00:02:08,734 --> 00:02:09,874
Investigators believe
33
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,930
Reitler was abducted.
But by whom, where and why?
34
00:02:12,967 --> 00:02:14,767
Police have no hard evidence
to say.
35
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,270
[Casey] On March 29th, 1993,
Tricia Reitler,
36
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:22,200
a 19-year-old college freshman
37
00:02:22,233 --> 00:02:24,433
at Indiana Wesleyan University
38
00:02:24,467 --> 00:02:26,367
took a break from writing
her term paper.
39
00:02:28,433 --> 00:02:30,403
[Joni] She decided to walk
a few blocks down
40
00:02:30,433 --> 00:02:32,703
to a Marsh store to get
41
00:02:32,734 --> 00:02:34,274
a root beer
and to get a magazine.
42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,000
[Casey] But on the way home,
43
00:02:38,033 --> 00:02:38,933
something happened.
44
00:02:40,066 --> 00:02:41,796
[Joni] All of a sudden,
she vanishes.
45
00:02:43,233 --> 00:02:46,103
And nobody knows where she is.
46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,200
[telephone rings]
47
00:02:54,233 --> 00:02:57,033
The phone rang at about 12:30
48
00:02:57,066 --> 00:02:58,996
just after midnight.
49
00:02:59,033 --> 00:03:01,273
And it was the Marion
Police department.
50
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:03,630
And the first question
51
00:03:03,667 --> 00:03:05,197
she asked was,
"Do you know where Tricia is?"
52
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,430
At that moment, my heart sunk.
53
00:03:11,834 --> 00:03:14,604
[Donna] We knew that something
was really wrong.
54
00:03:14,634 --> 00:03:16,104
It was like a punch
in the gut.
55
00:03:16,867 --> 00:03:17,827
[Tim] It was horrible.
56
00:03:17,867 --> 00:03:20,327
Horrible. It's a parent's
worst nightmare.
57
00:03:24,333 --> 00:03:26,433
[Belinda]
I was legitimately panicking.
58
00:03:26,467 --> 00:03:28,197
We were roommates,
Tricia and I,
59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,800
our freshman year.
60
00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:34,933
That weekend
before Tricia's disappearance.
61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,470
I found out from my
62
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:40,000
friends that she
was being stalked.
63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,430
And I started asking her
about it.
64
00:03:43,467 --> 00:03:45,397
She had said that,
65
00:03:45,433 --> 00:03:46,773
on the day that she ran,
66
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,800
he would start following her
67
00:03:47,834 --> 00:03:50,274
at a certain, like,
68
00:03:50,934 --> 00:03:53,334
road or intersection.
69
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:55,167
And then he would
70
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,000
follow her a little ways
71
00:03:57,033 --> 00:04:00,333
behind while she was running,
72
00:04:00,367 --> 00:04:02,027
and then he would turn off,
73
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:04,397
and go a separate way.
74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,900
Who was this person?
75
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:09,100
Where was this van?
76
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,170
[Joni] A predatory stalker
77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,230
is the rarest kind of stalker.
78
00:04:19,033 --> 00:04:20,503
It's also the most dangerous.
79
00:04:20,533 --> 00:04:23,473
Because they often
target strangers.
80
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:25,870
They often don't give
much warning.
81
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:29,073
This is somebody
who is finding
82
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,800
a lot of pleasure
83
00:04:31,834 --> 00:04:35,674
out of the process,
and a lot of interest
84
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:38,200
in picking out girls.
85
00:04:41,367 --> 00:04:43,527
We have a window
to what he is thinking about
86
00:04:43,567 --> 00:04:44,397
by what he's journaled.
87
00:04:45,934 --> 00:04:47,034
[Hillel] "Take buck knife.
88
00:04:47,834 --> 00:04:48,704
Gloves.
89
00:04:48,734 --> 00:04:50,474
Mask.
90
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,070
Take a lot of clothes,
91
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,870
blankets to keep her
out of sight.
92
00:04:57,033 --> 00:04:58,903
No body contact.
93
00:04:58,934 --> 00:05:00,774
Buy condoms.
94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,970
No forensic residue.
95
00:05:04,967 --> 00:05:06,197
Check colleges,
96
00:05:06,233 --> 00:05:07,733
parks.
97
00:05:07,767 --> 00:05:09,467
Teen joggers and bikers.
98
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:10,770
Many alone.
99
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Get one. Find one.
100
00:05:12,433 --> 00:05:13,573
Find one now."
101
00:05:20,066 --> 00:05:23,096
When police retraced
Tricia Reitler's steps
102
00:05:23,133 --> 00:05:24,773
it became pretty apparent
103
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,970
that she was the subject
of a violent attack.
104
00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:32,433
[Tim] I go out
to check that area,
105
00:05:32,467 --> 00:05:34,127
and I see some things
106
00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:36,166
that appear to be
a crime scene.
107
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:40,630
[Hillel] Her clothes
were found under a tree
108
00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:42,997
with the blood on it.
109
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,930
And later, they also found
110
00:05:45,967 --> 00:05:49,067
an earring that had been
torn out of her ear.
111
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:55,600
[Tim] The crime scene proves
two things.
112
00:05:55,634 --> 00:05:58,734
That she had been abducted,
and that
113
00:05:58,767 --> 00:06:00,297
a sexual assault occurred.
114
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:03,830
[Casey] The perpetrator,
115
00:06:03,867 --> 00:06:05,467
he is someone
116
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:08,000
who gets their eye
on the prize and decides,
117
00:06:08,033 --> 00:06:10,833
"I've been fantasizing about
this for so very, very long.
118
00:06:10,867 --> 00:06:13,127
Today is the day,
this is the time,
119
00:06:13,166 --> 00:06:14,626
I'm about to make it happen."
120
00:06:28,066 --> 00:06:30,726
[reporter] Tricia Reitler,
seen here on home video
121
00:06:30,767 --> 00:06:33,097
purchased a soft drink
at a Marsh supermarket.
122
00:06:33,133 --> 00:06:35,733
And passively walking along
this Marion street,
123
00:06:35,767 --> 00:06:37,297
towards her college dormitory,
124
00:06:37,333 --> 00:06:38,933
was confronted and abducted.
125
00:06:42,266 --> 00:06:45,096
[Donna] Tricia went to Indiana
Wesleyan University.
126
00:06:45,133 --> 00:06:48,133
She was funny.
She was outgoing.
127
00:06:48,166 --> 00:06:49,296
She was athletic.
128
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:51,300
[Garry] Daddy's little girl.
129
00:06:52,433 --> 00:06:53,733
We had a special relationship.
130
00:06:53,767 --> 00:06:55,727
Tricia wanted to be
a psychologist.
131
00:06:55,767 --> 00:06:58,967
And basically, she wanted
to put families back together again.
132
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,200
[Belinda]
She was always smiling.
133
00:07:02,233 --> 00:07:05,073
That's the one thing that
I seriously miss about her.
134
00:07:08,066 --> 00:07:10,866
[copier whirring]
135
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:13,770
[reporter] And exhaustive
investigations has produced few clues,
136
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,200
except the recovery of some
blood-stained clothes.
137
00:07:17,066 --> 00:07:19,666
[Michael] They organized huge
138
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:22,200
sweeps of the area looking for
139
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:23,873
any kind of clues.
140
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:25,600
The college is in a very
141
00:07:25,634 --> 00:07:27,004
rural area.
142
00:07:27,033 --> 00:07:28,373
[Garry] All you see is,
143
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,030
-cornfields...
-[Donna] Yeah.
144
00:07:30,066 --> 00:07:31,196
...and soybean fields,
145
00:07:31,634 --> 00:07:32,674
and trees.
146
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:34,700
[Michael] There was just
so many
147
00:07:34,734 --> 00:07:36,134
places where she could be.
148
00:07:37,467 --> 00:07:39,467
They were searching
everywhere and,
149
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:40,330
they never found anything.
150
00:07:41,367 --> 00:07:42,927
[Donna] It was uh, I call it
151
00:07:42,967 --> 00:07:44,097
the zombie state.
152
00:07:44,133 --> 00:07:47,373
You could barely function
but you knew you had to.
153
00:07:51,533 --> 00:07:53,103
[Hillel] "Seen many
nice girls,
154
00:07:53,133 --> 00:07:54,333
at Marsh's.
155
00:07:55,233 --> 00:07:57,873
Lots of walkers at 7:15.
156
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,200
Walking to apartments
on Nebraska
157
00:08:02,867 --> 00:08:05,567
in 44/43.
158
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Must be housing
159
00:08:07,433 --> 00:08:08,703
for the university.
160
00:08:09,233 --> 00:08:10,773
Seen some prospects.
161
00:08:11,567 --> 00:08:12,567
Look at maps.
162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Get the van ready."
163
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:19,870
[Joni] Tricia Reitler
164
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:21,970
was walking home alone.
165
00:08:22,533 --> 00:08:24,433
I think the tragedy is,
166
00:08:24,467 --> 00:08:27,227
she was in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
167
00:08:28,533 --> 00:08:30,873
[Hillel] That place
that he had pre-determined
168
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:34,100
would be the best place
to cease someone.
169
00:08:34,133 --> 00:08:37,573
Fields where
there was no one nearby,
170
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,900
where there was no lighting,
and we can only speculate
171
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:46,030
at that point,
he pulled up his van.
172
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,830
[John] Police had started
with nothing.
173
00:08:50,867 --> 00:08:52,497
The have some
physical evidence.
174
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,103
They don't have a body.
175
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:56,573
So what they begin
is with a wide net.
176
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,500
Who fits the bill for this?
177
00:08:58,533 --> 00:09:01,733
Who has a criminal past
or a connection to the victim?
178
00:09:01,767 --> 00:09:05,627
[reporter] Police do have
a suspect in Tricia Reitler's disappearance.
179
00:09:05,667 --> 00:09:08,267
A man who has been questioned
several times by police,
180
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:09,470
but never identified.
181
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:12,430
[Tim] Tony Searcy.
182
00:09:12,467 --> 00:09:14,797
He had been involved in some
183
00:09:14,834 --> 00:09:16,604
felony thefts.
184
00:09:16,634 --> 00:09:18,004
[Joey] And they found
the connection
185
00:09:18,033 --> 00:09:20,003
between him and Tricia Reitler
186
00:09:20,033 --> 00:09:22,103
through a dining hall
where she worked.
187
00:09:22,133 --> 00:09:25,103
[Tim] Tony Searcy was dating
188
00:09:25,133 --> 00:09:27,503
a girl that worked
in the cafeteria.
189
00:09:27,533 --> 00:09:30,733
[Joey] The very night
of Tricia Reitler's disappearance,
190
00:09:30,767 --> 00:09:33,167
Tony Searcy made a 9-1-1 call
191
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,470
in which he was reporting
a rival thief.
192
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:38,430
Police believed
that he was pointing
193
00:09:38,467 --> 00:09:39,797
the finger at someone else
194
00:09:39,834 --> 00:09:43,074
to avoid detection
in the disappearance of Tricia Reitler.
195
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:44,700
We bring him in.
196
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,300
They thought he was trying
to come up with an alibi,
197
00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:51,573
uh, throw the police
off their investigation
198
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,530
with this bogus claim.
199
00:09:54,033 --> 00:09:54,973
[Tim] He felt like,
200
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,730
he could do something
like that, so,
201
00:09:57,767 --> 00:09:59,727
[Michael] They asked him
to take a lie detector test.
202
00:09:59,767 --> 00:10:00,827
He took it, and he failed.
203
00:10:02,667 --> 00:10:03,897
[Tim] So that's when we called
204
00:10:03,934 --> 00:10:06,304
the FBI, and had
a second polygraph.
205
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,500
Flunks that polygraph.
206
00:10:09,634 --> 00:10:11,374
He became
a person of interest.
207
00:10:14,333 --> 00:10:16,303
And they decide
to search Tom's car.
208
00:10:16,333 --> 00:10:18,103
Police had cadaver dogs
209
00:10:18,133 --> 00:10:20,233
sniff around his vehicle.
210
00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:22,266
[dogs sniffing]
211
00:10:23,934 --> 00:10:26,104
Lo and behold,
the cadaver dogs hit...
212
00:10:27,834 --> 00:10:29,504
on Tony Searcy's trunk.
213
00:10:45,834 --> 00:10:48,674
[Hillel] "Replace rear carpet
in van.
214
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:53,570
Cut out stained carpet.
215
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,530
Vacuum van thoroughly.
216
00:10:58,066 --> 00:10:59,766
Spray down chemicals.
217
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,570
Wiped with Armor All.
218
00:11:04,667 --> 00:11:07,767
Burn paint and tarps.
219
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,700
Buy new hacksaw blades.
220
00:11:10,734 --> 00:11:13,534
Clean all tools
with denatured alcohol.
221
00:11:13,567 --> 00:11:15,097
Take tires off,
222
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:17,803
and clean mud
from under fenders.
223
00:11:18,834 --> 00:11:20,134
[Joni] His eliminating
224
00:11:20,166 --> 00:11:22,866
forensic evidence
that might be there.
225
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:27,570
This is somebody who is
looking for future victims.
226
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,400
And reminding himself
of cleaning up old ones.
227
00:11:31,433 --> 00:11:33,473
Clean up is about
self-preservation.
228
00:11:34,834 --> 00:11:36,604
And it's so that the offender
229
00:11:36,634 --> 00:11:38,334
can continue on
with his crimes.
230
00:11:43,734 --> 00:11:44,634
[Casey] Tony Searcy
231
00:11:44,667 --> 00:11:45,967
is on the record and saying,
232
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,430
"I've done a lot of bad stuff
in my life
233
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:49,267
but I didn't kill this woman."
234
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:51,400
As part of the investigation,
235
00:11:51,433 --> 00:11:53,803
of Tony Searcy
for the disappearance
236
00:11:53,834 --> 00:11:55,734
of Tricia Reitler,
237
00:11:55,767 --> 00:11:58,297
police had cadaver dogs
sniff around
238
00:11:58,333 --> 00:11:59,333
his vehicle.
239
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,870
Lo and behold,
the cadaver dogs hit
240
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,570
on Tony Searcy's trunk.
241
00:12:07,066 --> 00:12:08,566
[Donna] Your emotions are so,
242
00:12:09,734 --> 00:12:13,104
twisted. You feel guilty
for being excited
243
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:16,703
that we may have found
her scent, you know.
244
00:12:17,834 --> 00:12:19,504
[Casey] The problem is that,
in criminology,
245
00:12:19,533 --> 00:12:22,003
Tony Searcy has no history
of violence.
246
00:12:22,033 --> 00:12:24,873
And even though it's possible
that he's good for it,
247
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:26,030
the truth is that,
248
00:12:26,066 --> 00:12:29,266
he doesn't have
that long record of fantasy
249
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:32,130
that would actually graduate
to an abduction,
250
00:12:32,166 --> 00:12:34,566
a stalking, a kill, a rape.
251
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:36,800
He's just a copper thief.
252
00:12:36,834 --> 00:12:39,274
[Joey] Cadaver dogs
are trained
253
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:41,600
to alert to enzymes in humans
254
00:12:41,634 --> 00:12:43,374
that mimic
the smell of copper.
255
00:12:43,967 --> 00:12:45,197
And the problem was,
256
00:12:45,233 --> 00:12:47,173
that if Tony Searcy
is a copper thief,
257
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,170
he certainly would have copper
258
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,130
in the back of his trunk
259
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:54,366
that would have
these cadaver dogs alerting to it.
260
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,670
[Hillel] It's why the police
261
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:57,500
became so suspicious of him.
262
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,770
[Tim] Oh, I definitely
263
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,370
thought he was
the prime suspect.
264
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,900
[chains jangling]
265
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:07,173
Tony was arrested
about four weeks after
266
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,730
Tricia went missing.
267
00:13:08,767 --> 00:13:10,567
But he was only charged
with copper theft.
268
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,900
Because that's all
they could prove.
269
00:13:12,934 --> 00:13:14,604
[Tim] Tony Searcy
was never charged
270
00:13:14,634 --> 00:13:16,834
with any crime related to
271
00:13:16,867 --> 00:13:18,767
the abduction
of Tricia Reitler.
272
00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:21,233
Just to bring her home.
273
00:13:22,567 --> 00:13:24,427
[voice breaking]
That's all we want.
274
00:13:24,467 --> 00:13:26,967
[Donna] Somebody has that
one bit of information that we need.
275
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,000
And put an end
to the nightmare that we're living.
276
00:13:31,033 --> 00:13:32,033
[cannon roars]
277
00:13:32,066 --> 00:13:33,096
[gun firing]
278
00:13:35,033 --> 00:13:37,173
[Michael] The first time I met
Larry Hall
279
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,730
was a Civil War reenactment
280
00:13:39,266 --> 00:13:41,396
in Rochester, Indiana.
281
00:13:41,433 --> 00:13:43,573
Then Gary, a few months later.
282
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,900
[Hillel] Larry and Gary
were identical twins.
283
00:13:48,934 --> 00:13:52,234
They very much got into
Civil War reenactment.
284
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:56,527
[cannon roars]
285
00:13:56,567 --> 00:13:57,867
[Hillel]
They were so authentic,
286
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:04,400
that they were recruited
to attend, uh, and be extras
287
00:14:04,433 --> 00:14:07,073
in the filming
of two Civil War movies.
288
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:09,300
One was Glory,
289
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:11,233
and the other was Gettysburg.
290
00:14:11,266 --> 00:14:12,726
Now, ultimately,
291
00:14:12,767 --> 00:14:14,597
the only one of the twins
you can see
292
00:14:14,634 --> 00:14:18,674
is just a glimpse of Gary
in Gettysburg.
293
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:21,667
[upbeat music playing]
294
00:14:23,867 --> 00:14:26,997
I noticed, Larry was more
of a follower in a way.
295
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:31,773
He wasn't fastest in speaking,
296
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,630
had to stop and think
for a few moments.
297
00:14:34,634 --> 00:14:38,104
He was very easy
to approach to talk to,
298
00:14:38,133 --> 00:14:40,803
but he would never
open up the conversation.
299
00:14:42,467 --> 00:14:43,327
I felt that
300
00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:48,003
Gary was more dominating
over Larry.
301
00:14:50,133 --> 00:14:54,003
With a lot of the reenactments
and with the movies,
302
00:14:54,033 --> 00:14:56,673
it often meant a road trip.
303
00:14:56,700 --> 00:15:00,730
They're travelling in places
all around the country.
304
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:03,967
[Michael] There was that
brother camaraderie
305
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,530
in their travel
to reenactments.
306
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,670
There was one instance,
307
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:13,800
in the van, that really
308
00:15:13,834 --> 00:15:14,934
sticks in my mind.
309
00:15:16,367 --> 00:15:18,167
Larry and Gary
were sitting up front.
310
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,300
I was in the back seat and,
311
00:15:21,333 --> 00:15:23,733
Gary reaches down
underneath him,
312
00:15:23,767 --> 00:15:26,727
and pulled out
a pair of woman's underpants.
313
00:15:28,033 --> 00:15:31,033
He looked
at his brother Larry,
314
00:15:31,066 --> 00:15:32,696
and said,
"What's this doing here?"
315
00:15:33,533 --> 00:15:35,073
I just thought at that time,
316
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,030
it was just
joke on each other.
317
00:15:38,333 --> 00:15:42,873
Larry shrugged off,
and kind of played it back, about,
318
00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,600
"You're married.
You have a wife. You planted it there."
319
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,870
Looking back,
320
00:15:51,166 --> 00:15:54,066
it is very disturbing
to think about.
321
00:15:55,533 --> 00:15:56,773
It all adds up.
322
00:16:05,834 --> 00:16:07,534
[Hillel] Larry and Gary Hall.
323
00:16:07,567 --> 00:16:09,927
Their upbringing
was kind of strange,
324
00:16:09,967 --> 00:16:13,127
in that their father
was actually the grave digger
325
00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:15,730
at this historic
326
00:16:15,767 --> 00:16:18,767
tiny, little cemetery
on a hill.
327
00:16:19,967 --> 00:16:22,567
And part of the benefits
of that job,
328
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,700
is that they lived in this
329
00:16:23,734 --> 00:16:25,904
big clapboard house
330
00:16:25,934 --> 00:16:28,774
overlooking the cemetery
on one side.
331
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,530
[Ron] I'm sure their peers
would have thought it was creepy,
332
00:16:32,567 --> 00:16:35,497
I do believe that
one time I heard the house,
333
00:16:36,166 --> 00:16:38,726
inside was rather messy.
334
00:16:38,767 --> 00:16:40,227
[Hillel] One of their friends
said it was like,
335
00:16:40,266 --> 00:16:41,996
"Living inside
of a rummage sale."
336
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:44,430
[Casey] The parents
were hoarders.
337
00:16:44,467 --> 00:16:48,097
There was stuff piled
to the ceiling in every room.
338
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:51,903
The fact that they lived
in a hellhole of a house,
339
00:16:51,934 --> 00:16:53,634
probably, had a huge impact
340
00:16:53,667 --> 00:16:55,967
on their development
growing up,
341
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,900
and the way they perceive
the outside world.
342
00:16:59,166 --> 00:17:01,026
[Hillel] Their father Robert,
343
00:17:01,066 --> 00:17:04,796
always had kind of the smell
of beer on his breath.
344
00:17:04,834 --> 00:17:07,304
The boys were actually
terrified of him.
345
00:17:07,333 --> 00:17:10,603
The relationship
that Larry had
346
00:17:10,634 --> 00:17:15,434
with his mother was,
some would say, smothering.
347
00:17:15,467 --> 00:17:20,367
The mother's smothering
affection for the son
348
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,400
gets in the way of him having
a normal relationship
349
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,070
with a female.
350
00:17:25,967 --> 00:17:27,527
And that was definitely,
351
00:17:27,567 --> 00:17:30,067
a part of Larry's problem.
352
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,700
He has a very
unusual relationship
353
00:17:35,734 --> 00:17:38,604
toward my mother.
And to this day,
354
00:17:38,634 --> 00:17:40,374
he'll talk to Mom almost
355
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,830
as if she's his girlfriend
356
00:17:42,867 --> 00:17:44,567
rather than his mother.
357
00:17:45,667 --> 00:17:47,827
It's spooky. It's creepy.
358
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,700
[Joey] Eight months after
Tricia's disappearance,
359
00:17:54,734 --> 00:17:57,774
a farmer in Indiana would make
a grisly discovery.
360
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,530
[crows cawing]
361
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,430
[machinery whirring]
362
00:18:02,467 --> 00:18:04,867
[Michael]
In November 8th, 1993,
363
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:07,670
a farmer
in Perrysville, Indiana
364
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:10,000
was working
this huge cornfield
365
00:18:10,033 --> 00:18:12,233
with his combine,
when he spotted
366
00:18:12,266 --> 00:18:13,396
something unusual.
367
00:18:14,767 --> 00:18:16,567
As he was cutting
368
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,270
through one of the rows
of corn,
369
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:22,770
he looked down
from his tractor,
370
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,730
and saw a dark object.
371
00:18:27,634 --> 00:18:29,734
He got down to see
what it was.
372
00:18:29,767 --> 00:18:31,967
Maybe at first thought,
it was an animal.
373
00:18:32,734 --> 00:18:33,974
Then to his horror,
374
00:18:34,867 --> 00:18:37,597
saw it was in fact a body.
375
00:18:38,533 --> 00:18:39,973
[John] So he calls police.
376
00:18:41,467 --> 00:18:43,097
The first thig
police believe is,
377
00:18:43,734 --> 00:18:45,174
this could be Reitler.
378
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,370
The autopsy revealed
that, uh, she had
379
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,370
a broken jaw.
380
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,170
[Casey] Forensic investigators
381
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,930
concluded that she most likely
died of strangulation.
382
00:18:55,967 --> 00:18:58,267
[Hillel] Given the amount
of decomposition,
383
00:18:58,900 --> 00:19:00,770
the challenge was
384
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,300
identifying the body.
385
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:21,103
Welcome back
to Very Scary People.
386
00:19:21,133 --> 00:19:23,373
After a college co-ed
is snatched off campus
387
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,700
in a bloody ambush,
388
00:19:24,734 --> 00:19:26,934
and the body of a girl
is found callously dumped
389
00:19:26,967 --> 00:19:28,397
in a cornfield,
390
00:19:28,433 --> 00:19:32,003
fear is spreading
that there is a serial killer on the loose.
391
00:19:32,033 --> 00:19:34,173
Detectives are closing in
on a person of interest,
392
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,770
who raised suspicions.
393
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,370
But there are also serious
doubts he actually did it.
394
00:19:39,066 --> 00:19:40,766
Did police get the right guy?
395
00:19:43,934 --> 00:19:46,704
[man] "I feel a calling
from deep inside.
396
00:19:46,734 --> 00:19:48,534
Sometimes so strong
that it's hard to hide.
397
00:19:51,767 --> 00:19:52,997
Take buck knife.
398
00:19:53,033 --> 00:19:54,903
Gloves, mask,
399
00:19:54,934 --> 00:19:55,934
two new plates.
400
00:19:56,734 --> 00:19:58,474
Buy two more leather belts.
401
00:19:59,734 --> 00:20:01,434
Seeing several
singles walking.
402
00:20:02,066 --> 00:20:04,696
Teenage, close to country.
403
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,730
Find them now."
404
00:20:18,133 --> 00:20:19,203
[Loren] In the early '90s,
405
00:20:19,233 --> 00:20:22,333
we actually lived outside
of Georgetown, Illinois.
406
00:20:22,367 --> 00:20:24,297
Probably about
eight miles or so, out in the country.
407
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,430
Most people knew each other
and were friendly.
408
00:20:28,533 --> 00:20:29,973
People didn't even lock
their doors.
409
00:20:32,967 --> 00:20:37,097
[mother] Jessie, she was
really a good kid. Very shy most of the time.
410
00:20:37,133 --> 00:20:39,533
We had a lot of pictures of
the back of her head
411
00:20:39,567 --> 00:20:42,367
because she just didn't want
her picture taken that often.
412
00:20:44,367 --> 00:20:46,227
She wanted to be a pilot.
413
00:20:46,266 --> 00:20:48,526
She wanted to fly jets.
414
00:20:48,567 --> 00:20:50,827
Which I thought was
so unusual.
415
00:20:50,867 --> 00:20:53,697
She was always smiling
or laughing.
416
00:20:53,734 --> 00:20:55,304
That's the stuff you love.
417
00:20:59,367 --> 00:21:02,197
September 20, 1993
418
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:03,930
was a Monday.
419
00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:08,803
[Casey] 15 year-old Jessica
Roach was out riding her
420
00:21:08,834 --> 00:21:12,174
prized mountain bike along
a rural road.
421
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:18,430
[John] And her sister decides
she's going to go into town and drives by.
422
00:21:18,467 --> 00:21:21,167
Sees her sister walking
the bike on the road.
423
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,830
[Myndi] It's a normal sunny
day. She pulled off.
424
00:21:24,867 --> 00:21:29,267
Stood there, watched me drive
by. Waved real smiley and waved.
425
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:32,600
And I looked in the rearview
mirror and she was walking her bicycle.
426
00:21:32,634 --> 00:21:36,634
And then I stopped at the sign
and turned the corner.
427
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,800
That was the last time I saw
Jessica.
428
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,430
When I came home, her bicycle
was lying in the middle of the road.
429
00:21:48,367 --> 00:21:51,427
Jessica is missing. No one can
find her.
430
00:21:52,367 --> 00:21:53,527
[Loren] She was gone.
431
00:21:54,767 --> 00:21:57,127
My husband called and he says,
432
00:21:57,166 --> 00:21:59,266
one of our daughters
is missing.
433
00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:03,070
I remember just getting
real quiet.
434
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:06,570
And feeling just kinda cold.
435
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,870
I immediately knew something
serious had happened.
436
00:22:12,233 --> 00:22:13,703
-Here?
-Yeah.
437
00:22:15,734 --> 00:22:17,234
There's something not right
here.
438
00:22:17,266 --> 00:22:19,196
We don't have just
a missing person.
439
00:22:19,233 --> 00:22:20,403
There was foul play.
440
00:22:24,867 --> 00:22:26,797
The search went on for three
days.
441
00:22:26,834 --> 00:22:29,874
[Terry] With each day that
passed, there was less and less hope.
442
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:31,000
[sobbing]
443
00:22:31,033 --> 00:22:33,903
[Loren] I can tell you that
that third day,
444
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:36,330
I knew she wasn't coming home.
445
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:38,370
To me, she's a sweetheart.
446
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:41,603
But what can I say?
447
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:43,370
I'm her grandpa.
448
00:22:46,567 --> 00:22:51,527
[Gary] We knew of people in
the area that we thought would be capable of
449
00:22:51,567 --> 00:22:53,567
sexual assaults and things
like that.
450
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,870
But as far as an actual
kidnapping,
451
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,000
we had not experienced that in
this county to my knowledge.
452
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:12,300
[Loren] To me, it was almost
like a random thing.
453
00:23:12,333 --> 00:23:14,833
This man was in town
454
00:23:15,934 --> 00:23:18,104
and probably scoping out
the school.
455
00:23:18,133 --> 00:23:21,373
Jessie was a type that
he liked.
456
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,900
And I feel like he followed
her home from school.
457
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,870
We basically had no leads
458
00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:34,970
and that continued on for
several weeks.
459
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000
[reporter] This week, a body
was found in a farmer's cornfield.
460
00:23:41,467 --> 00:23:45,467
Two months later, across the
state lines in Indiana,
461
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:48,530
a local farmer is simply
ploughing his cornfields
462
00:23:48,567 --> 00:23:52,697
when he sees from the top of
his tractor, something dark.
463
00:23:52,734 --> 00:23:56,274
He is absolutely horrified
to discover a dead body.
464
00:23:59,767 --> 00:24:04,867
[reporter] Police in Indiana
say the body found may be that of Tricia Riddler of Ohio
465
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:08,430
who went to Indiana Wesleyan
University in Marion.
466
00:24:08,467 --> 00:24:11,667
Everyone including the family
thought, okay, this could be her because
467
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:16,030
it was the right area. It was
a young woman.
468
00:24:16,066 --> 00:24:19,826
[reporter 2] On the day we
visited, the got one of many calls from Marion Police,
469
00:24:19,867 --> 00:24:23,427
alerting them another body has
been found in rural Indiana.
470
00:24:23,467 --> 00:24:24,697
It's not Tricia.
471
00:24:24,734 --> 00:24:27,674
But it is another emotional
reminder.
472
00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:31,800
That feeling of that loss and
not being able to...
473
00:24:33,066 --> 00:24:34,166
bring her home.
474
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:41,030
[Gary] They positively ID'd
the fingerprints
475
00:24:41,066 --> 00:24:44,296
as being those of Jessica
Roach.
476
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:48,203
[Myndi] As much as we didn't
want it to be her, at the same time, I did.
477
00:24:48,233 --> 00:24:52,033
So we could say our goodbyes
and that was closure
478
00:24:52,066 --> 00:24:56,196
for me, knowing that we found
her and she's not suffering.
479
00:24:57,367 --> 00:24:59,327
We at least knew where
she was now.
480
00:25:01,567 --> 00:25:04,597
[Gary] Cause of death was
the strangulation.
481
00:25:04,634 --> 00:25:09,034
The body had nothing that
would help us identify an individual
482
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,770
that had been involved.
483
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,400
It could be a drifter from
a million miles away,
484
00:25:14,433 --> 00:25:17,673
who covers a lot of miles
doing things like this.
485
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:20,900
That offender is
a real challenge.
486
00:25:20,934 --> 00:25:25,174
[Hillel] Clearly with Jessica
Roach, it was very impulsive.
487
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,270
He saw this girl in what
seemed like the middle of nowhere.
488
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:31,830
She looked extremely
vulnerable.
489
00:25:31,867 --> 00:25:34,997
He decided to take advantage
of that.
490
00:25:35,033 --> 00:25:39,503
[Gary] The fact that their
girl was basically taken off of her bike.
491
00:25:39,533 --> 00:25:42,573
The body was left in
a cornfield.
492
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,830
It's just such a desolate
area.
493
00:25:44,867 --> 00:25:47,267
That had me completely
stumped.
494
00:25:51,367 --> 00:25:54,427
And suddenly, there's
a potential clue.
495
00:25:54,467 --> 00:25:58,497
There's a witness who sees
a distinctive-looking stranger
496
00:25:58,533 --> 00:26:00,973
walking out of a cornfield.
497
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,330
Right around the time when
Jessica Roach went off the radar screens.
498
00:26:05,367 --> 00:26:08,597
What I recall seeing was a man
coming out of the cornfield.
499
00:26:09,266 --> 00:26:11,426
He had a stocky build,
500
00:26:11,467 --> 00:26:15,067
a rounded face,
an obvious chin.
501
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:20,800
This would've been the same
timeframe when we believe the body was put in the cornfield.
502
00:26:21,333 --> 00:26:22,173
Late at night.
503
00:26:43,967 --> 00:26:47,927
[Kaylen] 13 year-olds should
not have to worry about being kidnapped.
504
00:26:49,233 --> 00:26:50,433
Our doors were never locked.
505
00:26:50,467 --> 00:26:54,667
You know, it just changes life
as we knew it.
506
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:55,770
We were terrified.
507
00:26:57,567 --> 00:27:01,567
[John] In May of 1994,
a spring day,
508
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,000
two teenage girls riding
their bike
509
00:27:04,767 --> 00:27:06,127
notice a van.
510
00:27:08,533 --> 00:27:12,933
[Kaylen] We were riding our
bikes, and...
511
00:27:12,967 --> 00:27:19,167
I just hear this loud van
go by and he slowed down and, like, stared at us.
512
00:27:22,166 --> 00:27:24,266
I was like,
I think that he's... he's...
513
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:26,130
following, like, he's looking
at us, watching us.
514
00:27:26,166 --> 00:27:29,696
And then he came at us in
the opposite direction and he did it again.
515
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,470
Let's go. We gotta get outta
here.
516
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:34,600
-We took off as fast as our
legs would move. -We bolted.
517
00:27:37,166 --> 00:27:39,826
He took off following right
behind us.
518
00:27:39,867 --> 00:27:43,097
[Kaylen] We could hear
the gravel being thrown. He was right there.
519
00:27:43,133 --> 00:27:45,773
I was scared that he was gonna
hit or try to knock her over.
520
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,630
All I could see were his
headlights 'cause he was right there behind us.
521
00:27:50,667 --> 00:27:55,127
We cut down an alley where his
van was not going to be able to fit through.
522
00:27:55,166 --> 00:27:59,496
And we just took off riding as
fast as we could to get back to her house.
523
00:28:01,266 --> 00:28:03,696
He had dark hair, and...
524
00:28:03,734 --> 00:28:06,604
I guess, a bushy facial hair
or beard.
525
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,500
It's the most terrifying thing
that's ever happened to me in my life.
526
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:20,227
[Ron] Larry was kind of
a loner.
527
00:28:20,266 --> 00:28:21,526
Was very quiet.
528
00:28:22,166 --> 00:28:23,226
Stayed to himself.
529
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:26,870
I always saw them together
530
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:28,500
when they were younger.
531
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:34,530
Gary was more outgoing than
his twin brother
532
00:28:34,567 --> 00:28:37,727
and Larry seemed to follow his
lead more.
533
00:28:37,767 --> 00:28:41,567
I was the more dominant,
outgoing twin.
534
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,000
And I think he was jealous
of that.
535
00:28:47,266 --> 00:28:49,496
[Hillel] Larry and Gary, as
they grew up,
536
00:28:49,533 --> 00:28:52,773
they did show a lack
of respect for authority.
537
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,670
It turned into vandalism.
538
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:57,870
They were grilled by
the police,
539
00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:03,600
and the police were kind
of amazed at how hardened they were
540
00:29:03,634 --> 00:29:06,134
in answering interrogations.
541
00:29:06,166 --> 00:29:08,366
Not saying who did it.
542
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:15,300
Larry did help set fire
to several buildings in town.
543
00:29:15,333 --> 00:29:17,073
In fact, he was even arrested.
544
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,030
Larry and Gary were
inseparable. They were very close.
545
00:29:32,066 --> 00:29:35,896
They're brothers. They're best
friends. They're constant companions.
546
00:29:35,934 --> 00:29:38,874
In 1984, Robert was fired.
547
00:29:38,900 --> 00:29:42,130
[Ron] Their father lost his
job in the cemetery.
548
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,130
He was fired not only for
drinking,
549
00:29:46,166 --> 00:29:52,226
but he had on occasion, buried
people in the wrong place in the cemetery.
550
00:29:52,266 --> 00:29:57,596
[Hillel] Once he was let go,
the family left his big giant house,
551
00:29:57,634 --> 00:30:02,234
and ended up in a very tiny
one-bedroom house.
552
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,630
Gary went to live with his
girlfriend.
553
00:30:06,667 --> 00:30:11,727
And this was an extremely
traumatic event for Larry.
554
00:30:11,767 --> 00:30:14,467
Because Larry was a very
shy kid.
555
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:18,970
And his best friend, his
partner in crime, so to speak,
556
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,930
was his twin brother Gary.
557
00:30:22,667 --> 00:30:26,867
And suddenly there was just
this huge void in his life.
558
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:30,200
[Ron] Larry was janitor
at the bank.
559
00:30:30,233 --> 00:30:34,833
He cleaned foreclosed
or houses for sale.
560
00:30:36,967 --> 00:30:41,027
This was a very lonely
individual
561
00:30:41,066 --> 00:30:46,426
who got deeply into
the hobbies he pursued.
562
00:30:46,467 --> 00:30:49,767
If Gary was interested in
something, then Larry had to be.
563
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,470
They became interested in
civil war reenactments.
564
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:01,530
This was the perfect excuse
to grow these bug bushy mutton chop sideburns
565
00:31:01,567 --> 00:31:02,797
of which he was very proud.
566
00:31:06,333 --> 00:31:10,403
In 1987,Gary gets married.
567
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,370
[Michael] He had a child,
and he had a job.
568
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:21,530
And that kinda puts hard on
doing civil reenactments because it's a weekend thing.
569
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,370
Larry, he was not married.
570
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,970
He lived at home with his
parents.
571
00:31:28,567 --> 00:31:31,667
So therefore, Larry had more
freedom
572
00:31:32,233 --> 00:31:35,373
to do civil war enacting.
573
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,200
[Hillel] He went as far away
as Wyoming, and Colorado and California.
574
00:31:39,233 --> 00:31:45,333
And Missouri, in addition
to Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.
575
00:31:45,367 --> 00:31:49,567
There was a time when Larry
went to reenactments by himself.
576
00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:53,930
When we left reenactments,
577
00:31:53,967 --> 00:31:55,667
everybody went their own way.
578
00:31:59,567 --> 00:32:05,767
[John] At this point, you
have two homicides across borders of two states,
579
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,270
in a fairly small area, that
are apparently connected.
580
00:32:10,300 --> 00:32:15,730
And not any leads that
are gonna take them anywhere.
581
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:20,367
And then there's a car stop
and that changes everything.
582
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,230
Almost exactly one year since
the day that Tricia Reitler disappeared,
583
00:32:25,266 --> 00:32:29,766
two more teenage girls report
being stalked by a man in a van.
584
00:32:32,100 --> 00:32:36,430
These girls go and notify
their father.
585
00:32:36,467 --> 00:32:38,967
They've got his license
plate number.
586
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,670
[Michael] When police pull
the van over,
587
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:46,900
and the police officer saw
a bunch of objects that were pretty chilling.
588
00:32:48,033 --> 00:32:50,733
[Casey] A hunting knife,
a coil of rope,
589
00:32:50,767 --> 00:32:53,597
some lighter fluid and a wad
of cotton.
590
00:32:53,634 --> 00:32:56,574
And most chilling of all,
591
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,270
the missing poster for
Tricia Reitler.
592
00:33:02,333 --> 00:33:07,473
[Hillel] He sees newspaper
clippings about Tricia Reitler's abduction,
593
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:11,270
letterhead for Indiana
Wesleyan University,
594
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:13,000
but with her name all over it.
595
00:33:15,333 --> 00:33:19,803
So, I guess, city people
thought "We got the guy."
596
00:33:21,033 --> 00:33:22,173
[John] Police talk
to the driver.
597
00:33:22,934 --> 00:33:25,074
He's a guy named Larry Hall.
598
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:27,400
When he's questioned by
detectives...
599
00:33:27,433 --> 00:33:32,433
[Ron] Larry engages with them
about "I dreamt this."
600
00:33:32,467 --> 00:33:35,597
I may have done it.
I may not have done it.
601
00:33:35,634 --> 00:33:40,334
Larry said he would show them
where she was buried.
602
00:33:41,834 --> 00:33:44,634
But then just kinda had them
driving in circles.
603
00:33:46,133 --> 00:33:49,733
Which really upset
the officers.
604
00:33:49,767 --> 00:33:53,097
[John] And at this point,
detectives are starting to have their doubts.
605
00:33:53,133 --> 00:33:55,573
This guy isn't even sure
he's the guy who did it.
606
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,970
They reach out
to Larry Hall's hometown.
607
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,070
And there's a detective who's
known him for 20 years.
608
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:06,470
"Who? Larry Hall?
He's just an odd duck. He's totally harmless.
609
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:09,970
That's not gonna be your guy."
610
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,370
[Hillel] This made them feel
he was just a wannabe wasting their time.
611
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,830
And they let Larry go.
612
00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:20,030
[Gary] False confessions.
I think it's common.
613
00:34:20,066 --> 00:34:22,926
I think most police officers
have dealt with that.
614
00:34:24,700 --> 00:34:27,070
[Michael] Almost every time
you get a big murder case,
615
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:31,200
people come forward to confess
even though they've had nothing to do with it.
616
00:34:31,233 --> 00:34:34,303
They're enthralled by
the publicity.
617
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:36,973
And they want something in
their life so bad that they
618
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,300
convince themselves that
they've done it.
619
00:34:39,333 --> 00:34:42,603
And it's really kinda sad, but
there are people out there who do that.
620
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,130
[John] Larry Hall is one of
two twins.
621
00:34:52,166 --> 00:34:54,866
He and his brother. Larry
and Gary.
622
00:34:54,900 --> 00:34:56,870
They're born in 1962.
623
00:34:59,934 --> 00:35:02,034
[Larry] Larry was born blue.
624
00:35:02,066 --> 00:35:06,066
Being born blue is a clear
indication that you're not getting enough oxygen.
625
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:09,730
[Hillel] His mother had some
problems in birth.
626
00:35:09,767 --> 00:35:15,397
What we now call twin to twin
transfusion syndrome.
627
00:35:15,433 --> 00:35:20,633
TTTS is a fascinating
complication of a twin pregnancy.
628
00:35:20,667 --> 00:35:23,567
You have two babies sharing
a single placenta.
629
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,300
What ends up happening is that
one twin sends blood to the other.
630
00:35:28,333 --> 00:35:31,403
But the recipient can't
return it.
631
00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:36,873
Larry is continuously giving
away these precious resources and the oxygen to Gary.
632
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:40,770
But Gary is hoarding them and
unable to give them back to Larry.
633
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,800
It's almost like
a parasitic situation.
634
00:35:43,834 --> 00:35:51,534
[Larry] Larry comes out at
delivery really small, thin, lean, blue.
635
00:35:51,567 --> 00:35:54,267
Totally deprived of, you know,
the normal resources
636
00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:57,200
that he would need
to develop normally.
637
00:35:57,233 --> 00:36:02,173
Basically brain damage that
can follow that child throughout his life.
638
00:36:03,634 --> 00:36:05,574
[Ron] Gary was always sharper.
639
00:36:06,233 --> 00:36:07,973
I'll put it that way.
640
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,700
[Larry] There's an entire
class of disorders related to
641
00:36:11,734 --> 00:36:15,534
personality, behavior,
attention,
642
00:36:15,567 --> 00:36:19,327
hyperactivity, social and
awkward social behavior.
643
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,370
And this is how Larry Dwayne
Hall was born into this world.
644
00:36:27,133 --> 00:36:32,103
[Gary] I laid the picture down
on the table in front of us
645
00:36:32,133 --> 00:36:35,473
and I said, how about this
girl? Do you remember ever talking to her?
646
00:36:35,967 --> 00:36:37,167
He flinched.
647
00:36:52,266 --> 00:36:57,096
[Casey] In November of 1994,
the lead detective, Gary Miller,
648
00:36:57,133 --> 00:37:02,773
is still trying hard to figure
out who killed Jessica Roach.
649
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:07,100
A year after Jessica's body
had been found,
650
00:37:07,133 --> 00:37:12,003
there was a complaint in
the two of Georgetown.
651
00:37:12,033 --> 00:37:16,633
There's a new report of a guy
in a van, stalking girls.
652
00:37:16,667 --> 00:37:20,427
[Gary] The license plate
came back to Larry Hall.
653
00:37:20,467 --> 00:37:22,967
So I just picked up the phone.
654
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,330
Called the Wolbach police
department.
655
00:37:26,367 --> 00:37:28,627
He said, "Well, one thing with
Larry is,
656
00:37:28,667 --> 00:37:33,167
if you've had a civil war
reenactment, he would be there."
657
00:37:35,367 --> 00:37:39,397
I started looking. And in
the rural area outside of Georgetown,
658
00:37:39,433 --> 00:37:44,233
they had had a revolutionary
war reenactment
659
00:37:44,266 --> 00:37:47,196
on Sunday before the Monday
that Jessica was abducted.
660
00:37:49,533 --> 00:37:52,703
I certainly thought it should
be followed up.
661
00:37:54,333 --> 00:37:58,933
So he goes to Indiana
to interview Larry Hall.
662
00:37:58,967 --> 00:38:03,197
[Gary] I had a picture, it was
a school picture of Jessica Roach.
663
00:38:03,233 --> 00:38:08,073
And I laid the picture down
on the table in front of us.
664
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:11,500
And I said, "Do you ever
remember talking to her?"
665
00:38:11,533 --> 00:38:15,403
And Larry immediately flinched
to the right. Turned his head.
666
00:38:17,567 --> 00:38:20,397
A lot of detective work
is intuitive.
667
00:38:20,433 --> 00:38:24,473
In this particular case, Larry
Hall's reaction wasn't even subtle.
668
00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:28,830
He immediately showed
recognition of the girl in that picture.
669
00:38:28,867 --> 00:38:30,767
The murder victim,
Jessica Roach.
670
00:38:34,867 --> 00:38:37,327
On November 15th, 1994,
671
00:38:37,367 --> 00:38:42,227
Miller returns with FBI
polygrapher Michael Randolph.
672
00:38:42,266 --> 00:38:43,996
[Gary] He didn't wanna take
the polygraph.
673
00:38:44,033 --> 00:38:48,533
I stepped out and Mike began
talking to him.
674
00:38:48,567 --> 00:38:53,067
[Casey] Randolph gains
the trust of Larry Hall and engages him in conversation.
675
00:38:53,100 --> 00:38:57,230
Larry Hall tells Michael
Randolph, "I'm ready. I'm ready to confess."
676
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,370
[Hillel] Here is the statement
that agent Randolph took down.
677
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:12,130
It starts, "I recall I was in
Illinois for the revolutionary war reenactment.
678
00:39:12,166 --> 00:39:16,626
I was on the road and there
was a girl walking a bike.
679
00:39:17,333 --> 00:39:19,403
I stopped and talked to her.
680
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:26,770
I had to grab her, because
she wouldn't have gotten in by herself.
681
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:31,730
Since I usually kept starting
fluid in rags,
682
00:39:31,767 --> 00:39:34,297
I might have used these
on her.
683
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,770
I tied her up. But I can't
remember with what.
684
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,970
I remember taking
her pants off.
685
00:39:41,734 --> 00:39:43,534
I took my pants off.
686
00:39:43,567 --> 00:39:45,597
And had sex with her."
687
00:39:49,333 --> 00:39:55,773
[Gary] He said that he took
her to an extremely wooded area by a river.
688
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,300
[Hillel] "I laid her up
against a tree.
689
00:39:59,333 --> 00:40:02,233
And put a belt around
her neck.
690
00:40:02,266 --> 00:40:03,666
Then she stopped breathing.
691
00:40:04,667 --> 00:40:09,097
I just do things. I am not
in control.
692
00:40:09,133 --> 00:40:12,933
This was one of those times
when I was not in control.
693
00:40:12,967 --> 00:40:14,467
I have nightmares
694
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:17,300
where I remember these
murders."
695
00:40:17,333 --> 00:40:20,303
[Casey] It was almost as if
once the floodgates opened,
696
00:40:20,333 --> 00:40:23,033
he was ready to tell them
everything he knew.
697
00:40:23,066 --> 00:40:26,526
He confessed to killing
a bunch of girls
698
00:40:26,567 --> 00:40:28,727
in the Midwest,
from several states.
699
00:40:32,934 --> 00:40:36,974
And then recanted on all
those confessions.
700
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,770
And then Larry takes it back.
"I didn't kill them."
701
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,770
[Hillel] There was no forensic
evidence...
702
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,730
against Larry.
703
00:40:43,767 --> 00:40:46,697
How is this guy able to commit
all these murders and not
704
00:40:46,734 --> 00:40:50,304
leave one piece of physical
evidence?
705
00:40:50,333 --> 00:40:54,403
Why would you confess
to multiple murders if you didn't do them?
706
00:40:54,433 --> 00:40:56,233
[Casey] Was it a false
confession?
707
00:40:56,266 --> 00:41:01,126
[reporter] He says he agreed
with anything police said so they would let him go home.
708
00:41:01,166 --> 00:41:06,126
Or is he the greatest serial
killer to never be convicted of any murder?
709
00:41:06,166 --> 00:41:09,166
The FBI is currently
investigating Hall's possible
710
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,100
involvement in other
abductions.
711
00:41:11,133 --> 00:41:12,703
Hall could be a serial killer.
712
00:41:13,734 --> 00:41:17,004
I'm convinced. There is no
question in my mind.
713
00:41:17,967 --> 00:41:20,297
He did exactly what he
told me he did.
714
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,770
I'm not a killer. You're just
using me to solve all those crimes.
715
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,730
I'm not a killer, okay?
716
00:41:29,834 --> 00:41:34,034
Larry Dwayne Hall was either
responsible for the kidnapping, sexual assault
717
00:41:34,066 --> 00:41:37,426
and strangulation deaths of
one victim after another,
718
00:41:37,467 --> 00:41:41,467
or a poor soul so desperate
for attention, he was willing to confess to murders
719
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:43,200
he did not commit.
720
00:41:43,233 --> 00:41:47,003
Final ruling comes in front of
a judge and jury during a rollercoaster ride through
721
00:41:47,033 --> 00:41:48,473
the court system.
722
00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:51,870
The DA prosecuting the case
steps up his investigation
723
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:56,470
with a daring new plan to get
his man in part two of "The Twin."
724
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:59,670
I'm Donnie Wahlberg. Thanks
for watching. Good night.
725
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:04,270
