00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.839
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime
podcast. Or I tell stories of real

2
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:14.679
crimes with real victims, whose cases
are so shocking that many are left wondering

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:24.920
how is this even real? I
use my experiences in law enforcement corrections,

4
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:29.559
and combined with my years as a
criminal justice educator, dig deep into complex

5
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:51.119
cases of evil acts, some so
evil many feel they are unspeakable. Warning.

6
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.479
Unspeakable as intended for mature audiences.
If you are easily offended, then

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.719
all for the victims, and let's
do our thing. Now. Before I

30
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:23.479
get into this episode, I have
a couple of shout outs and I have

31
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.240
promised her that I would get to
her shout out, and today is the

32
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.599
day. It is, Miss Adie. Joe Pritchard. How are you Addie

33
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.639
Joe in I think you say this
ashwabinon Wisconsin. I hope I nailed that.

34
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.159
I've never been there, but Addie
Joe, thank you so much for

35
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.000
Addie ing me Addie with the Addie. I'm so glad to have you join.

36
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:51.120
I've got Sarah Hamrick from Cohen,
West, Virginia. How are you

37
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.400
doing, Sarah. I'm so like
I said, I mean, I'm so

38
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.240
thankful. Literally, podcasters can't do
what they do without their listeners. We

39
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.680
just can't. We have to have
people that's scribe and download or else it

40
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.319
just doesn't take off. And I'm
so thankful for every single one of you.

41
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.039
That includes Britney Chandler from Pollock,
Louisiana. Hey, girl down south,

42
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.080
you're one of us. Thank you
very much. And last, but

43
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.039
certainly not least for today is going
to be Jessica and Darren Keel from Pineville,

44
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.800
Louisiana. Hey, y'all, thank
you, thank you, thank you

45
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.240
from the bottom of my heart.
Welcome, welcome, welcome. If you

46
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:29.800
are in the crime family, then
guess what. It's quarterly gift time and

47
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.599
those are coming out and they come
out in waves. So if you don't

48
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.000
get it, in the next thirty
seconds from here in this it's okay.

49
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.439
Just check back with me if you
don't receive it in the next couple of

50
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.840
weeks, and I will make sure
that you get it. And I'm so

51
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.479
proud of them. I design them
myself. I made them myself, and

52
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.479
that means a lot right. Time
is love and I spend a lot of

53
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.000
time making sure what I send you
or things I think that you will enjoy.

54
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.960
Now something else that is special to
my heart. It's teenagers. And

55
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.879
I have met many of them over
the years of my career, and this

56
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.240
case caught my attention because it involves
a young girl at a certain point.

57
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:08.120
And as I read this case,
it reminded me actually of a teen that

58
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:14.240
I taught years ago who was stuck
in a very similar case, especially in

59
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.160
motive and in situation. And so, I don't know, it just kind

60
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.759
of grabbed me. And so I
am going to do this one for you,

61
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.360
and it's going to take place in
drum roll, please, Florida.

62
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.279
And I mean, we know that's
where everything happens. If it didn't happen

63
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.800
in Florida, it didn't happen.
I'm convinced this is going to take place

64
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.079
on a nice waterfront community. It's
known as Lake Asbury, and it's close

65
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:41.279
to Jacksonville for perspective of kind of
where we're at as I take you on

66
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.040
this journey. And this was the
place that forty eight year old Jack and

67
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.759
forty eight year old Linda Jones had
settled in to make their home. They

68
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:54.279
had gotten married, created a life
together. They were both employed and they

69
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:59.360
worked hard to afford the things that
they wanted. Now, they weren't newlyweds

70
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.519
by any imagination. Matter of fact, when this case took place, they

71
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:08.959
had been married right on the cusp
of thirty years. Thirty years, that's

72
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:14.519
a milestone in my book, right. But they met way back in nineteen

73
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.639
sixty four. And if you're older
than me, you're kind of laughing right

74
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.560
now, way back, but to
me, that's way back. So they

75
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:24.279
met twenty years before I was even
born, and that was when Linda was

76
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:29.360
in high school. She was a
junior, and she was smart. She

77
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.639
was a blonde, she was popular, and every photo of her, she

78
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:39.240
looks like that typical sixties woman that
you are, young girl that you think

79
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:44.040
of when you think of these older
photos. She had that blonde hair with

80
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.199
the you know, the poofy kind
of hair that flipped out on the ends.

81
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.839
She had her little bows or little
satin bows in the top. She

82
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:55.519
always looked dressed appropriately and she looked
ladylike when you look at the photos now.

83
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.759
She came from a very close family. She was raised near Jacksonville.

84
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.800
Her family was very tight knit.
They did cookouts and fish fries, and

85
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:12.720
they nearly every weekend had an event
together where they enjoyed each other's company and

86
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.319
looked forward to spending time together.
But it was while she was walking on

87
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.920
her way to PE class one day
her junior year. She was walking with

88
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:25.160
her bestie. Her name was Janie. They had been besties since they were

89
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.879
seven years old, so this was
a tight friendship and they were on their

90
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:33.800
way to PE class when a senior
boy named Jack grabbed her attention. Jack

91
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:39.439
was a handsome boy. He was
her same age, but he was a

92
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.000
year ahead of her in school,
so he was a senior. And when

93
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.079
I say that he was handsome,
I'm serious. He was handsome. I'm

94
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.800
not just saying that for the story. He had thick black hair. You

95
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.120
know, Mama likes these nice teeth. I'm all about the teeth. He

96
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:57.680
had nice teeth, strong brow,
almond eyes, and he had that traditional

97
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.160
preppy sixties handsome vibe going on.
And he was also a hero football player

98
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.600
to boot, so he had a
going on. She was a pretty girl

99
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:14.399
and she laid eyes on him and
she was immediately smitten, so smitten that

100
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.000
she even turned to bestie Janie as
they were walking and said, I'm gonna

101
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.160
marry that boy. Now that's comical
to me because when you're young, you

102
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.279
think you're going to marry every boyfriend
that you have, but she said it.

103
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.839
And even Linda's mother really quickly took
to Jack when she first met him.

104
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:30.800
She said, well, I guess
this is the boy you're gonna marry,

105
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.519
because Linda was just smitten and all
he did was driver her home.

106
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:39.720
It was the very first time ever, and mom really liked him, and

107
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.279
guess what, she was right.
They both were right, because they were

108
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.279
married just a short year and a
half later. It seems like she just

109
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.319
went to her senior year and then
a little bit later. They got married

110
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.720
right out of high school in nineteen
sixty five, so they were two young

111
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.879
teens just hoping to make it.
By the way, Patreon members. I

112
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.879
have photos of their wedding and kind
of their younger so you can kind of

113
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.439
get a grasp of what their life
was like as the story unfold. So

114
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.480
go there and make sure to check
those photos out. Now. They settled

115
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:11.519
in and bought a house just about
a block from where Linda grew up,

116
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.800
and they started building this really sweet
life together. Jack was working at a

117
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.800
car dealership and Linda had taken a
job at an accounting firm. Jack loved

118
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.720
his Linda, and all accounts he
was a bit of a romantic too.

119
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.879
I mean, this guy really seemed
to play the part, you know,

120
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.279
of a young guy who loved his
wife and was doing what he could to

121
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.519
continue to a romancer. Even the
friend said that every year on their anniversary

122
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.960
he would buy or a bouquet of
roses, but he would buy one more

123
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.320
long stem rose and add it to
the bauquet every year. And I think

124
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:52.159
that's sweet. That's putting thought,
right and effort into your relationship. So

125
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.399
in just a few short years after
they got married, they would both become

126
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.399
the proud parents of two daughters,
and they would name their girls Shame and

127
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:05.879
Jill. Both of these girls were
admitted daddy's girls. And they were that

128
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.000
way because they could depend on their
daddy. They loved him. He was

129
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.639
there for them, he supported them, and they loved their mama too.

130
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.440
But man, there's nothing better than
being a daddy's girl. And Jack was

131
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.399
a man's man. When I tell
you, I've got even more photos again,

132
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.679
I'm gonna post on there for you
on Patreon. He was a dude's

133
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.600
dude. I mean when it came
to construction. Matter of fact, he

134
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.360
built their home with his own hands. That not their first home, but

135
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.200
the home they would eventually move into
as they got a little bit older.

136
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.519
He built this home with his own
two hands. It took him two years

137
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.679
to do it. And there's photos, you know, and it's funny to

138
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.240
see the eras changing, and the
men in some of the photos have on

139
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.240
their Pete Maravich, you know,
the short shorts and the tall socks,

140
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.159
and then before that, you know, it's like the just the era of

141
00:09:54.200 --> 00:10:00.799
the clothing changes throughout the story.
So eventually j Jack was doing well.

142
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.840
He was promoted to manager at his
car dealership, and Linda herself was punching

143
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.440
through that glass ceiling, climbing that
ladder of success. And she even would

144
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.639
eventually become an associate at her CPA
firm. They had the same goals and

145
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.000
dreams. Of course, they had
differences. We all do. No marriage

146
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.279
is perfect, they argued, but
when it was all said and done,

147
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:28.399
they were a happy family and they
were making the American dream come true.

148
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.440
Now, let's talk about personality a
little bit. Personality wise, Jack was

149
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.399
more on the quiet side. Linda
she was the butterflies. She liked to

150
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.039
socialize and go out, and they
kind of went together. And this literally

151
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:45.639
sounds like my marriage. If y'all
know us, personally, I am wild,

152
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.440
I'm wide open, clearly, no
filter. And then my sweetheart Blake

153
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.000
is quiet, and if there's a
room of a lot of people, he

154
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.240
usually kind of disappears and you find
him off in a random corner by himself.

155
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.600
And it's just bizarre that two opposites
attract in that way. And I

156
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.759
thought, all right, tell y'all
this real quick, to show you how

157
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.720
different we are. So when we
first started, we weren't dating yet until

158
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.440
this night, I guess. But
we went out to a bar when I

159
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.639
was younger, and I didn't want
to go, and everyone kept blowing me

160
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.000
up to go, come on,
come on, come on. I was

161
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.320
like, no, I don't want
to go. I don't want to go.

162
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.720
And he showed up and was like, come to the bar, Please

163
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.320
come to the bar. And so
when I opened the door to my house,

164
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.559
I said, if I'm going,
I'm going just like this, and

165
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.840
I shit you not. I had
on my your pajamas and I had on

166
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:33.919
those fluffy, big eure slippers with
a big ear head on the end of

167
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.639
them. And he looked me up
and down and he said, let's go,

168
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.600
and I did. I went out
clobbing in my pajamas so obnoxiously out

169
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.879
of place that even the band that
was playing said, shout out to the

170
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.039
girl on the ere pajamas, and
that was me. And I was excited,

171
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.679
ended up getting shit faced drunk,
had a great time. And that's

172
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:54.879
kind of when we started dating.
So now you know that fun little bit

173
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.480
about me. He is quiet and
I am out the box. That was

174
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.240
this cup. So we're going to
fast forward though now some years and we're

175
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.600
gonna come up to nineteen ninety four, and by this time they're adults,

176
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.360
you know, they're real adults,
adult adults, you know, And Linda

177
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.200
is working as an associate at the
CPA firm, and they hire an eighteen

178
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.799
year old girl named Carrie Davis,
and she comes in to do some secretarial

179
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.559
work for the CPA firm. And
I looked up photos of her, which

180
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.879
again I will post on Patreon two. And Carrie is a stunner. She

181
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:35.240
has long, thick, wavy black
or dark brown hair, very narrow face,

182
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.120
a thin frame, her brows are
thick. It kind of is like

183
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.960
a brookshield Zy type of thing going
on. But she's dainty and she's girly,

184
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.919
and she's just a just beautiful girl. Her home life, though,

185
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.759
was an utter disaster. So her
mother was an alcoholic, her father had

186
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.279
mental health issues. And as she
was spending time at work with Linda,

187
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.480
Linda and Carrie really started to bond. They bonded very quickly. She saw

188
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.960
Linda as almost like that cool aunt
or that loving aunt type of figure,

189
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.120
adoptive mom, I guess you could
say. So life was good for Linda

190
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.919
and Jack. They were preparing for
their golden years to come. Their nest

191
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.000
egg was being built. Both of
their girls had already moved out. Their

192
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.320
daughters had moved on at this point
to go chase their own dreams. They

193
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.480
were out in college and doing their
thing, and so I guess in a

194
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:39.440
way, we could call Linda and
Jack empty nesters. Linda found out about

195
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.559
that time that Carrie was being kicked
out of her home by her parents that

196
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.240
she didn't care for, and it
was very stressful circumstances for the young girl.

197
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.120
She was seventeen, just freshly turning
eighteen, and she was in a

198
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.480
bind. She was on her own. Well, at their house, Linda

199
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.519
and Jack had room, I mean, their kids were gone, there were

200
00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.759
these empty rooms. She loved Carrie. Jack liked Carrie hadn't met her yet,

201
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.759
but once they met, they liked
one another, and they invited her

202
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:13.039
to move in to their home until
she was able to get her life settled

203
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.799
and kind of get on her own
two feet. And if I'm being straightforward

204
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:24.159
and honest, which is my goal
always from what I understand, Linda and

205
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:31.559
Jack's daughters kind of got upset about
this. They specifically Jill, the daughter.

206
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.559
Jill, she did not like Carrie, but the way that things kind

207
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.159
of were going, you could kind
of brush this off as jealousy at worst

208
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.879
case. Jill felt like Carrie had
other motives and that she might be coming

209
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.720
in to kind of take advantage of
her parents. But whatever the feelings of

210
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.399
her daughters, Carrie moved in and
she lived with Linda and Jack. Things

211
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.440
were going well. Carrie felt taken
care of by the Joneses, and they

212
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.720
just were kind of cruising on through
life. Now. It was roughly eight

213
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.320
thirty pm on November seventh, nineteen
ninety five, when a nine to one

214
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.279
one call came into the local nine
one one center, and the call was

215
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:20.480
made by Linda Jones, who had
apparently just been through an extremely violent home

216
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:26.639
invasion and her husband Jack was lying
motionless on the floor. And to be

217
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.080
completely transparent, I'm going to play
the audio for you. I just want

218
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.679
to let you know that we did
have to do some editing of this audio

219
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.519
because in the nine one one process, she got transferred a few times.

220
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.440
So you will hear a woman's voice
and then you will hear a man's voice

221
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.080
talking to Linda. But it is
all the same call that's been edited.

222
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:54.080
Just for time's sake, that's all
this on my mind. Okay, what's

223
00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:18.919
a problem with me? What happened? Okay? We had people on the

224
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:32.480
way, Okay, So as you
can tell Linda is legit shook, I

225
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:36.679
mean she is shook beyond belief,
while her husband is laying there beaten,

226
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:44.320
he's bloody, he's non responsive.
So police officer Jaeger he arrived eight minutes

227
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.360
later from the time that he was
dispatched out. He got there very quickly,

228
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:51.440
and when he pulled up, he
found a barefoot and completely inconsolable Linda

229
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.159
on the front porch of the home. So they obviously asked a couple of

230
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:59.080
questions. While officers were coming in
to kind of clear the home, she

231
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.399
was able to describe the police that
three men had come in, they were

232
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:06.200
wearing masks, they were dressed in
all black, and that they had pretty

233
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.240
quickly disabled her once they made it
into the home because they had duct tape

234
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.559
and they duct taped her up,
like her wrists were duct taped together and

235
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:18.400
her legs and she was unable to
assist with anything. And then the men

236
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:23.240
just beat the ever living shit out
of Jack, I mean ruthlessly beat him.

237
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.759
They had clubs, they had a
bat, she said, they stole

238
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:34.200
his gun and just mercilessly beat him
to death. So when they finally left

239
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:40.200
and Jack wasn't moving, she was
unable to actually get away at first because

240
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:41.839
she had the duct tape, so
she had to wriggle herself out of the

241
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.200
duct tape, which took her some
while some time, and then once she

242
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.720
was able to work herself free,
that's whenever she ran and she got the

243
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.640
phone and she placed the call to
nine one one, So police put her

244
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.640
in an ambulance and she was taken
on to the hospital. She kind of

245
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.160
collapsed in the ambulance once she was
driven away, just really overcome and shook

246
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:07.240
and shock of what she had witnessed. Now inside the home, the police

247
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.680
did not find the assailants, they
were long gone. They only found that

248
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.039
lifeless body of Jack Jones. He
was also clearly at that point beyond saving.

249
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:22.480
He was dead. And this crime
was incredibly brutal. Jack, like

250
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:27.160
I said, had been beaten to
death. I mean, I've been hit

251
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:32.000
before and it freaking hurts, you
know, it hurts to get punched,

252
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:38.880
to be beaten with a bat.
I how that must feel, I don't

253
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.759
know. But then to beat someone
to death. It wasn't like he was

254
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.240
shot and he you know, in
the head and was instantly you know killed.

255
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.880
He wasn't stabbed where it cut a
massive artery and all of his blood

256
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:55.880
bled out and he was down within
you know seconds. You know, this

257
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.440
was a very He was aware and
he took this beating until he took his

258
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.039
last breath. There were a massive
amount of blows to his body, and

259
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:08.799
it seemed that he was completely unable
to even defend himself because he was duct

260
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:11.960
taped, just like his wife.
His wrists were duct tape. There was

261
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.880
duct tape above his head, he
had it around his feet. There was

262
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:22.000
blood literally head to toe on this
man. I do have crime scene photos

263
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.000
for you on Patreon. They are
graphic. Obviously by what I'm telling you,

264
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.480
you would know that, but just
be aware if you're not interested in

265
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.599
looking at that. And Jack,
y'all, he wasn't a small man by

266
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.119
any means. You can tell just
by looking at him in the photos.

267
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.400
He is in his late forties,
but he still took care of himself.

268
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:42.880
He had broad shoulders, his hair
was always nicely trimmed. He was known

269
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:49.039
to carry he carried a weapon with
him, and his daughter in Questionings said,

270
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.440
well, yeah, daddy carried a
gun and he had it with him

271
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.119
always whenever he would come into the
house. Though it was kind of his

272
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:57.759
thing that he would set down his
things and then he would take his weapon

273
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:03.279
off his hip. He would set
it on the island in the kitchen.

274
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:07.839
But there was no weapon in the
kitchen and Jack lay dead on the floor.

275
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.119
So Jack's body was removed and it
was sent to the medical Examiner's office

276
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:18.960
for autopsy. The examiner found that
Jack suffered five to six severe blows not

277
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.480
only to the head, but also
to the eyes, to that front,

278
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.920
those bones, and that Oh man, you ever been hitting the nose?

279
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.799
Damn, My kids sometimes accidentally when
they get wild with their hands, pop

280
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.480
me in the nose and I get
so freaking mad because that hurts. And

281
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:40.599
this is a baseball bat to the
face. The medical examiner also believed that

282
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:45.480
he had been struck with something like
a gun, something hard, or something

283
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:49.640
along those same lines. He also
had eight severe blows to the back,

284
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:55.519
along with tons of damage to his
arms, his legs. He had internal

285
00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:00.480
injuries to his organs his trunk.
Was believed that he was beaten with something

286
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.559
that was believed to be a cylindrical
type instrument throughout the trunk of his bodies

287
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:11.119
and the injuries he sustained to his
arms and his legs and his back were

288
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.400
all done while he was conscious,
and the medical examiner confirmed this. This

289
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.400
was a very vicious and brutal beating. But the medical examiners did say that

290
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:29.680
the blows to the head were so
traumatic that they could have rendered him unconscious

291
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.440
when they were applied, and again
there were multiple ones of them. So

292
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:40.599
the doctor also made a very clear
note that none of the blows were completed

293
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.240
after death or post mortem. He
was literally beaten until he died, and

294
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.880
then it looked like the killers had
left. So the lead detective, his

295
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:55.839
name was Thomas Waugh, and it's
Waugh wah. He noted as he walked

296
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.799
through the crime scene that there was
no forced entry to the home. And

297
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:00.599
I do have a photo of the
front door of the home and it's not

298
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.440
broken open, there's no crowbar,
doesn't look like windows or broken or anything

299
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.160
of that nature. And so this
would obviously tell the average person that it

300
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.400
had to have either been unlocked or
opened by someone for these intruders to be

301
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.799
able to come into the home.
And it was very clear that there had

302
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.759
been a struggle in the foyer area, like it started in the foyer area

303
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.559
and then it moved down a hallway
and then it kind of turned into a

304
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.799
living room. So as the detective
is walking through, he found pieces of

305
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.720
duct tape throughout the house. He
found pieces on the floor in one of

306
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:40.119
the bedrooms. He also found a
ball of duct tape rolled up on the

307
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:45.720
floor of the master bedroom. And
while they were finding these pieces of tape,

308
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:52.160
they quickly ruled burglary out as a
motive. And they did this because

309
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.480
although drawers were opened and things were
kind of looked through, there was a

310
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:03.960
purse on the ground, there was
jewelry on the tabletops and the nightstands.

311
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:11.599
The master closet was open, and
there was again more things of value in

312
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.400
there that would have easily been taken. Jack's wallet, it's had one hundred

313
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.160
dollars in it was still on him. And something else they noticed was that

314
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.799
the phone lines had not been tampered
with, and all of the phones were

315
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.119
also still on the hook. So
you know, if you're gonna steal,

316
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.160
you're gonna take quick, easy access
to things. In another photo or two

317
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.720
that I have on there, they're
kind of zoomed in, but it's of

318
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:41.839
their their furniture in their bedroom,
and there's coins and while watches and things

319
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.880
that are just quick grabs for anybody
that would be, you know, looking

320
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:52.079
for something to take to sell.
So analysts his name, an analyst named

321
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.359
Steve Leary was on call and so
he would be the person that would come

322
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:57.759
to process the crime scene. And
while he was walking through the home,

323
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.559
it was very, very obvious that
this had been a very brutal fight.

324
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.880
You can see blood spattered on the
hallway walls, You can see it down

325
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.119
the hallway. It was also in
the den area. It was on the

326
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:15.359
carpet and all around where Jack's body
was found. So a great deal of

327
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.759
attention was placed on these two pieces
of tape that were found next to Jack

328
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:26.039
Jones's body. Obviously, whoever was
taping him up had to tear the tape.

329
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.119
It wasn't like they came pre torn, so someone involved in this had

330
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.400
to be holding that tape and tearing
it, which is a great place for

331
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.480
DNA to be left, assuming that
they weren't wearing any gloves or something that

332
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.039
would you know, prohibit the prints
or DNA from being passed on to the

333
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:48.400
tape. So two more than two, but there were two main pieces of

334
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.519
tape that were sent to the crime
lab, and they wanted to process those

335
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:53.920
for latent prints or prints that couldn't
be seen by the naked eye. And

336
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.799
we all know this, y'all.
Y'all, it's not like the movies and

337
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.799
it isn't instantaneous, and so so
they send it in and then they wait

338
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:06.200
for the results to return, which
is gonna take some time. So all

339
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.039
detectives really would be able to do
was wait for those results. I mean,

340
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.240
it's not quick. So fingerprint specialist
don Walters was her name. She

341
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.240
was the person that was assigned to
process the tape, and wouldn't you know,

342
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.960
she did find a latent palm print
on the tape. And this was

343
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.599
a huge win, I mean an
absolutely huge win in terms of evidence.

344
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:33.680
But after comparing the prints to known
people in the home or people that you

345
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.079
know likely could have been contributors,
I guess of fingerprints in that moment,

346
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:42.000
it didn't match anyone. It didn't
match Linda, it didn't match Jack,

347
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.400
it didn't match anyone in the home, the daughters, it didn't match Carrie,

348
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.119
it didn't match anyone. So these
prints had to be that of the

349
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.160
killers. And the way that it
was torn, the print was put there

350
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.880
during the commission of the crime,
and it wasn't previously there in the glue.

351
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:03.000
But for now the idea of these
prints was completely unknown, and what

352
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.680
an herb that would irk me so
bad to have to wait. I'm telling

353
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:10.440
you, I want instant results,
but it is what it is. On

354
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.240
the second piece of duct tape that
she processed, she was able to identify

355
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.200
two fingerprints and a palm print,
So this is like a gold mine as

356
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:25.920
far as printing was concerned. Again, they compared these two people known contributors

357
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.319
in the household. It didn't match
anyone that they compared it to. It

358
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.160
was a great start, but finding
the owner of the princes at this point

359
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.359
was kind of like finding a needle
in a haystack when you really have no

360
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:44.519
suspects to you know, compare them
to. So back at the crime scene,

361
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.319
Steve Leary also used luminol in the
house, which has now become kind

362
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.559
of a common phrase that everyone knows. That's the spray on TV that you

363
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:56.039
spray it and it glows whenever it
hits blood and you turn off the lights

364
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:59.519
and it glows. Well, when
it was sprayed in the home, they

365
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:06.640
did find more blood revealed than they
originally saw, and that included that there

366
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:11.359
was blood on a washcloth that was
found in the master bathroom, and if

367
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.119
you look in the photographs I have, you can see it balled up in

368
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:19.279
the master bathroom sink. Other places
revealed blood as well, and they also

369
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:25.920
showed some patterning in the in the
blood. It was in the foyer on

370
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.400
the floor, and it also was
in the carpet. But what stood out

371
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:36.039
to investigators was that it seemed to
have a repetitive pattern in the splotches.

372
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:40.559
I guess if that's the word that
they were seeing as they looked at the

373
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:45.559
blood in this luminescent glow. And
so what they believed was this pattern was

374
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:51.119
made from the heel of a shoe
and they could tell that the shoe went

375
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:55.960
up and down the hallway what they
estimated to be ten or fifteen times.

376
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:02.240
Additionally, in the den where Jack's
body was found laying, there was a

377
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:07.039
crowbar shaped pattern on the ground and
it lit up like a Christmas tree.

378
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.039
It was about twenty seven inches long
and it had a curve at the end

379
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.240
of it which is about five inches
wide. And they found a pattern with

380
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:19.400
that as well, and it was
very similar to the one by the body,

381
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:23.920
but also one found in the foyer
area. So what the investigators believed

382
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.079
they were seeing was that someone had
something like a crowbar that they used it,

383
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.359
set it down, and then picked
it back up, went into the

384
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:37.559
den area, used it again,
set it down. Moving into the garage,

385
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.279
they also found that there was a
Teal Buick parked in the garage.

386
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.079
They sprayed the car and they found
a positive reaction in the driver's seat as

387
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.160
well as the back of the passenger
seat. Now, I'm going to say

388
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:52.839
this now because I'm gonna forget,
but that really didn't come into play in

389
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.799
this case. I will tell you
this. There are other things that react

390
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:00.480
to luminol other than blood, and
that could have been the case there.

391
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.440
But I just want to let you
know whose someone's going to say, well,

392
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:07.000
wait, what happened to the blood
in the car? Nothing else really

393
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.319
came of the blood quote unquote that
they found in the car. So analyst

394
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:17.319
Leary was able to determine after the
examination also that all of the pieces of

395
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.720
duct tape that were found in the
home at the crime scene originated from this

396
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:26.480
same role of duct tape. So
this means that the killers brought the role

397
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:32.599
with them, or they took the
role from the home and used it while

398
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:37.000
there. And included in this matching
this I think they call that a fracture

399
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:40.720
match if I remember properly. But
included in this matching was a rolled up

400
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.920
ball of duct tape that they found
in the garage and it was stuffed inside

401
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:51.559
of a cinder block in the wall. So interesting, right that this tape

402
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:55.519
seemed to be all over the house. They also found one tiny little piece

403
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.279
of tape. It looks to be
about I don't know two inches long,

404
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.480
very wide, and it was stuck
on the door the front door, kind

405
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:08.599
of like on the lock area where
the male part goes into the female part,

406
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:12.640
on the lock of the door.
As detectives looked through the house,

407
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:17.279
they didn't find anything diabolical in the
home that stood out to them, like

408
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:21.880
drugs or criminal activity in the daily
life of the Joneses. So they were

409
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:26.079
trying to figure out who are Linda
and Jack because profiling your victims is so

410
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.559
important. Matter of fact, I'm
the Meniwenie have Reddit, if you remember,

411
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.440
and they talk all about how hateful
I am that I say profiling is

412
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:34.599
necessary. Well, profiling is necessary
in every aspect of life, including your

413
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.519
victims. You got to get a
profile of them to see what you're dealing

414
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.480
with. What type of lives did
they live? Are there possible risk factors

415
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:47.160
that have to be assessed to determine
a starting point for suspects. But y'all,

416
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:49.400
all police really found was that they
were just like you and me.

417
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:55.920
They were everyday people. They were
kind, they opened their doors to carry

418
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.000
to live with them. They had
jobs, they were employed, and they

419
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.839
were kind of living there. But
something we all know as true crime fans

420
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.839
is that usually they start investigators start
with the people that are closest to the

421
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:14.039
victim. That's normal. Linda,
who was the spouse, couldn't have been

422
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:17.319
the assailant. She may have been
there during the commission of the crime,

423
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.200
obviously, but she was also duct
taped at her wrists and she was barely

424
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:26.240
able to call nine one one,
so they ruled her out as the perpetrator

425
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:32.920
that killed Jack. So detectives kind
of quickly realize we're gonna have to depend

426
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:37.160
on forensic evidence to get any solid
leads on Jack's murder, and whoever did

427
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.359
this was out for blood. They
got it too. Unlucky for them,

428
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.559
though, was that they were far
from leaving this perfect crime scene that I

429
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.720
think they thought they left, and
police had prints, But now it was

430
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:53.519
just going to take time and I
guess what I'll refer to as some old

431
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:59.799
fashioned gut instincts and police work to
solve the case. Because every crime has

432
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:05.400
motive. It is not by chance
that three masked men break into your home,

433
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.880
beat your husband to death, and
tape you up. And it's interesting

434
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.359
to me as I was going through
this case, it was interesting to me

435
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:20.000
that Linda wasn't killed herself, and
she wasn't really hurt much either. That

436
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.920
doesn't mean anything in and of itself. It just was kind of a glaring

437
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:30.160
thing to me that why would you
kill him but leave a witness. But

438
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:36.480
if this was a hit of some
sort, well maybe these three men came

439
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:38.559
in, took out their target,
and then they left. Also, all

440
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:42.759
of the men were wearing masks,
so they weren't worried that she saw their

441
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:47.119
faces or anything like that, and
she wasn't necessarily a target if she couldn't

442
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:52.079
identify the attackers. Now, if
I was a bad guy and I'm gonna

443
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:53.240
go ahead and kill him, I
don't see what would be the difference in

444
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:59.640
killing her. But you know,
it is what it is. But you

445
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:04.519
have to find a motive, and
asking family and friends about possible enemies is

446
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:08.440
a really good place to start.
But detectives weren't coming up with anything when

447
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:14.799
they were asking these friends and families. But something that Detective Wall would find

448
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:17.240
out though, would come from a
neighbor. And his name was Ernie.

449
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:22.559
I think you say it zweeful or
zweifle. I don't know why everything when

450
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:27.640
I'm telling podcasts has weird or hard
spellings and sayings, but his name's Ernie.

451
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:30.880
And he saw a vehicle outside of
the Joneses home, and it was

452
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:36.440
leaving just about the time that Linda's
nine to one one call came into the

453
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:42.240
nine one one center. So Ernie
lived about two houses down and across the

454
00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.720
street from the Joneses, so he
had a pretty good vantage point of seeing

455
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.720
this vehicle pass by. And he
said it was a maroon ninety four or

456
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.920
ninety five Nissan Van now right now
off the top. I know you're like,

457
00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:57.960
how the hell would he know what
the year was and the make and

458
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:02.839
the model of this car. Well, call it coincidence, call it divine

459
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:06.000
intervention. I don't know what you
want to call it, but it just

460
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:10.280
turns out that Ernie was shopping for
a van himself, and that's why he

461
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:15.320
was able to identify it so easily. What a coinky dink? Now,

462
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.039
They asked him, Okay, tell
us exactly what you saw. He says,

463
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.159
Look, I saw the Nissan van. It looked to be maroon.

464
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.079
It left at a high rate of
speed. The lights were off and the

465
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.719
windows were tinted. I could not
really see inside, but I will tell

466
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.679
you that they had some get up
in their get along as they were tearing

467
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.159
down the street. So when police
spoke more to Linda when they got a

468
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:43.760
chance, her account of things were
that she and Jack were watching TV when

469
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:46.800
they heard a noise which seemed to
come from the front door, and so

470
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.679
Jack either got up to go check
on the noise or was kind of move

471
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.559
in that direction, and that's when
the three men kind of showed up in

472
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:02.199
the home and immediately started beating him
and taping her up. They separated her,

473
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.079
and she said, I really didn't
see anything that was going on because

474
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.679
they immediately you know, subdued me, taped me up. All I could

475
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.920
do was hear like jack fight or
trying to fight, and that's when you

476
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:19.559
know it was over almost as quickly
as it started. They left. I

477
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:22.280
wriggled out of the tape and that's
when I called nine to one one and

478
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.480
again it lined up. It was
about eight thirty when that call came in,

479
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:30.239
which is about the same time that
the neighbor saw the maroon Nissan van

480
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:36.880
speeding away. So low on leads
and basic information to go off of,

481
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:42.480
the detective Waugh decided to run a
report of all the maroon Nissan vans in

482
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.920
the area. Can you imagine the
list that they would have gotten, But

483
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:51.800
he did it, and then he
meticulously started going through the list. And

484
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:54.840
once that report was compiled and it
was narrowed down and he was sifting through

485
00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:00.039
the names, it came to his
attention that one of the names on the

486
00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:07.599
list was actually a client at the
CPA firm where Linda worked. And this

487
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:15.079
client's name was Donald Bradley, and
Donald Bradley owned a landscaping business and he

488
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:22.800
did his accounting work with Linda's CPA
office. So when detectives went and paid

489
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.960
him a visit, he did indeed
have a maroon van just like the neighbor

490
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:31.920
had described, but there was nothing
really there to indicate a crime had been

491
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:37.599
committed. It really kind of was
a dead end in that moment. And

492
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.880
I know right now people are going, wait, what he worked He was

493
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:44.159
working with the CPA firm and he
had him How could that be that?

494
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:47.880
That's huge, It's a great coincidence. It's just a problem though when it

495
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.039
comes to like probable cause, you've
got to have a little bit more established

496
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.639
to go further. And there's no
warrant that would be cut to do any

497
00:36:55.679 --> 00:37:00.239
further searching on that, just because
they knew one another and they he drove

498
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.599
a van similar to what a neighbor
saw. I mean, it sounds suspicion

499
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.880
to the average Joe, but y'all, there's checks and balances to protect freedoms,

500
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:13.320
so you're allowed to interact with people, and you're also allowed to have

501
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.079
a van that looks like a van
used in a murder. And I know

502
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:17.960
that sounds crazy, but that's just
the way that it works. So police

503
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:22.679
were kind of stuck in that moment, but as is often the case,

504
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:27.440
and I love this and I've learned
this. This is why I am calming

505
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:34.440
down slightly. In my life.
Time is so important and it's all that

506
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:39.320
is usually needed before a huge break
in a case will come. And by

507
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:45.800
chance, a few months later after
they went and talked to him and they

508
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:51.280
didn't really have much going on,
Donald Bradley was involved in a car accident.

509
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:58.599
So how would a random car accident
blow this case wide open? Well,

510
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:06.119
I'll tell you called excellent policing,
and there's no other word for it.

511
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:13.639
See, when the car accident occurred, Detective Waw became aware of it,

512
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:19.840
and he had already checked Donald's fingerprints
against those duct tate prints found at

513
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.639
the crime scene. And I'll tell
you now they were not a match,

514
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:28.199
okay, But the accident that occurred, it was actually a road rage incident.

515
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:30.360
So it goes to show you the
kind of the temperament of this guy.

516
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:38.199
But on a hunch, just a
hunch, Detective Waw ran the fingerprints

517
00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:45.760
of the passenger in Donald's car at
the time of that road rage incident,

518
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:52.719
and lo and behold, do you
know that birds of a feather usually flock

519
00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:58.239
together? Because the guy in the
car with Donald was his employee. The

520
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:05.519
passenger's name was Brad mcwhite. He
was young, he was twenty one years

521
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:10.199
old. But I mean, you
never know. And guess what just on

522
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:16.559
that hunch when they ran those fingerprints, they came back as a positive match

523
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:22.639
to the prince on the duct tape
at the crime scene. Bingo, bitch,

524
00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:28.239
bingo, explain it to me.
There is no other word for this

525
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:34.719
except excellent policing and paying attention to
what's going on under your watch. So

526
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.360
now it was time to play ball. But when Brian mcwhite was brought in

527
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:44.320
for basic questioning, I know this
will shock you. He refused to cooperate.

528
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:50.719
He didn't want to talk. Well, you know how pesky little siblings

529
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:52.880
get on your nerves when you're young. You know, they always I was

530
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:55.599
the younger sibling, so my sister
always wanted me to go away. Now

531
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:59.199
I'm just fabulous, I'm just kidding, but she likes hanging out with me

532
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:00.960
as an adult. She always wanted
me to go away when we were younger.

533
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:07.960
Well, this time that little pesky
younger sibling issue that people have,

534
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:13.599
This is gonna be one for the
books. See, Brian had a younger

535
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:20.280
brother. His name was Patrick,
and Patrick was eighteen. Patrick would be

536
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:24.840
with Brian's father when he showed up
at the precinct concerning his son's arrest because

537
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:32.440
of the fingerprint match, and that's
when Patrick got nervous and word vomited.

538
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:42.280
Exactly what happened on the night of
Jack Jones's murder right then and right there.

539
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:47.679
But why would the younger brother know
anything about this? You're gonna have

540
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:51.480
to stay tuned, But do not
get mad at me right now. Stop

541
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:53.119
it, you stop it right now. Do not get mad at me,

542
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:58.039
because guess what, I'm gonna do
a part two, but it's gonna drop

543
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:01.079
this Friday. You're getting another episode
the same week. You just got to

544
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:05.639
wait a day, okay, so
or two, but it's gonna drop,

545
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:07.719
so don't get mad at me.
It's coming this week. You do not

546
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.880
have to wait long. Patreon members, you're gonna also have a bonus episode

547
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:15.039
that's gonna drop on Thursday this week
as well, so you're gonna have a

548
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.199
bunch of kJ to listen to.
And I'm gonna tell you what this case

549
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.880
is. It gets even way more
interesting. And I'm gonna tell you this

550
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.960
too. If loose Lips sink ships, then I'm just gonna have to assume

551
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:28.880
that Patrick's middle name was Titanic
