- 0:19Speaker 2: and deceased inside his home.
- 0:22Speaker 1: They are they really?

- 0:57Speaker 1: I was in bed and hear.

- 1:19Speaker 3: rest of your new mind.
- 1:25Speaker 2: On July eleventh, twenty nineteen, officers in Fort Smith, Arkansas,
- 1:30Speaker 2: received a call from a neighbor requesting a welfare check
- 1:33Speaker 2: at the home of seventy two year old William Dubois Junior.
- 1:37Speaker 2: The neighbor had grown increasingly worried when he heard an
- 1:41Speaker 2: unusual noise coming from William's home a few days earlier,
- 1:44Speaker 2: and had seen no sign of him since. Officers were
- 1:48Speaker 2: quickly dispatched to investigate further.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Hello, are you good him?
- 1:56Speaker 2: This is Denton Stringer, the neighbor who called nine one
- 1:59Speaker 2: one to request a welfare check. He would soon prove
- 2:02Speaker 2: to be more involved in this case than just being
- 2:05Speaker 2: a neighbor.
- 2:06Speaker 1: He's not answered, he's not But you have a car? Yeah, car?
- 2:17Speaker 1: But where's his car? His has been going for three days?
- 2:21Speaker 1: Maybe he's gone.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Okay, you know what position in the bedroom is at Okay,
- 2:33Speaker 5: I'll come back and talk to you in just a second.
- 2:35Speaker 7: Okay.
- 2:36Speaker 2: The officer believes William might just have left, that is,
- 2:39Speaker 2: until she discovers a disturbing odor coming from inside the house.
- 2:46Speaker 1: M one station, Can you have an operator meet me
- 2:50Speaker 1: on three places?
- 2:51Speaker 2: Due to the unusual situation. Officer Hendrix calls for a
- 2:54Speaker 2: backup officer, who arrived quickly and would be briefed on
- 2:58Speaker 2: the discoveries.
- 3:00Speaker 5: He said, two nights ago, he heard a really loud boom.
- 3:03Speaker 5: There's an odd smell when I open the door. No
- 3:05Speaker 5: flies up here around the corner. You only get it
- 3:08Speaker 5: every now and then my team around the corner. That's
- 3:11Speaker 5: when I really yeah, I'm getting it right here.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I know that smell.
- 3:18Speaker 2: That odor could have been coming from the trash can,
- 3:21Speaker 2: but Officer Hendrix was convinced it was coming from inside
- 3:25Speaker 2: the house. The officers needed to get in. However, a
- 3:28Speaker 2: strange odor alone was not enough to obtain a search warrant,
- 3:32Speaker 2: so Officer Hendrix decided to ask around the neighborhood. She
- 3:36Speaker 2: would soon discover that Denton Stringer had done some suspicious
- 3:39Speaker 2: things since William's disappearance. But before we get to that,
- 3:43Speaker 2: situations like these can be especially traumatizing for those working
- 3:46Speaker 2: the case. But that's also the case for people watching

- 4:49Speaker 2: that said, let's get back to the officers on the scene.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Officer Hendrix didn't waste any time and decided to head
- 4:56Speaker 2: to the store directly across from William's house to see
- 4:58Speaker 2: if anyone had seen or heard it anything.
- 5:01Speaker 5: That's fine, so okay, So the neighbor over there, so
- 5:04Speaker 5: I said that, and that band sometimes cans.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Everyone talks with you. He saw him or his car.
- 5:10Speaker 8: I'm not talking about it.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Probably two days, but that's what he's saying.
- 5:13Speaker 4: I'm not sure in the last time that day.
- 5:16Speaker 1: That's okay.
- 5:17Speaker 4: There the next week when sure, we've has crouched. Not
- 5:21Speaker 4: necessarily they either bills ultimate really.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Great, right, watch our place. Okay, the guy in the neighbor,
- 5:28Speaker 1: there's some, there's some.
- 5:30Speaker 4: And he came over here number and listen what I
- 5:35Speaker 4: call the voice on the other ship because of the
- 5:37Speaker 4: women out there, fire and everything.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Stream from the kids. So on his side, I guess.
- 5:42Speaker 4: So I've said if anybody did anything, he would be them.
- 5:45Speaker 1: That's easy.
- 5:48Speaker 4: But because it's just odd that they come over here
- 5:51Speaker 4: and he must like this check one of the.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what they said. He said it's daughter his Hey,
- 6:04Speaker 5: he was a teacher at my junior high. So these
- 6:07Speaker 5: people over here are saying that the guy next store
- 6:13Speaker 5: is like always has some type of drama going on
- 6:16Speaker 5: or him and whoever are always fighting.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Not him and Bill, but him and someone else.
- 6:23Speaker 5: I mean, worst case scenario is somebody's done something bad
- 6:26Speaker 5: and took his car.
- 6:28Speaker 2: What the shop owner just revealed is very significant. Firstly, William,
- 6:34Speaker 2: who is known around the neighborhood by Bill, hasn't been
- 6:36Speaker 2: seen for the past two to three days, which is
- 6:39Speaker 2: highly unusual according to the shopowner. Secondly, William's neighbor, Denton Stringer,
- 6:45Speaker 2: is known to have frequent drama at his house involving
- 6:49Speaker 2: various women. Recently, Denton had asked the shop owner to
- 6:53Speaker 2: call William to check on him, explaining that his daughter
- 6:56Speaker 2: had stolen his phone. If true, this daughter might be
- 7:00Speaker 2: the same woman Denton argues with often, and if she
- 7:03Speaker 2: took his phone, there is a possibility she could also
- 7:07Speaker 2: be linked to William's car missing. Finally, the shop owner
- 7:10Speaker 2: claims that if something bad happened to William, it would
- 7:13Speaker 2: be them, suggesting that Denton and the daughter were likely involved.
- 7:20Speaker 2: All of this casts suspicion on both Denton and his daughter.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Officers hope that whatever they find inside William's house might
- 7:28Speaker 2: reveal just how involved they were in his disappearance. With
- 7:33Speaker 2: all of this in her head, Officer Hendrix returns to
- 7:36Speaker 2: William's house, where officers had managed to contact the landlord
- 7:40Speaker 2: for an additional key. Nothing could have prepared them for
- 7:44Speaker 2: the horrifying scene they would discover inside.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Really what it is?
- 8:05Speaker 2: As officers enter the house, they find William's lifeless body
- 8:09Speaker 2: in the bathroom. It soon becomes clear that this was
- 8:13Speaker 2: no natural passing.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Is that spatter on the door? Is that spatter on
- 8:19Speaker 1: the Oh?
- 8:24Speaker 8: Wow, it is locked.
- 8:28Speaker 1: There's no quality there.
- 8:32Speaker 2: What the officers had discovered was nothing short of horrific,
- 8:35Speaker 2: but the attacker had left a lot of clues, meaning
- 8:38Speaker 2: police could piece together a story. For starters, the body
- 8:44Speaker 2: had a strong rotten smell, indicating that William had likely
- 8:49Speaker 2: been dead for over twenty four hours. Throughout the house,
- 8:52Speaker 2: shelves and drawers had been left open, with numerous valuables missing.
- 8:57Speaker 2: This initially led investigators to believe it was a robbery. However,
- 9:01Speaker 2: this is where they discovered something very curious. The front
- 9:05Speaker 2: door had been locked from the outside, and there were
- 9:08Speaker 2: no signs of forced entry. Officers realized that a scenario
- 9:12Speaker 2: like this couldn't be possible unless William's attacker somehow had
- 9:17Speaker 2: a key to his house. In other words, whoever did
- 9:21Speaker 2: this to William must have a closer connection to him
- 9:23Speaker 2: than a random burglar. This made the shop owner's earlier
- 9:28Speaker 2: comments even more interesting to police. They had mentioned that
- 9:31Speaker 2: if anything happened to William, it would probably be Denton
- 9:34Speaker 2: and his so called daughter, both of whom were close
- 9:37Speaker 2: enough to William to have been given a spare key.
- 9:40Speaker 2: So with no better leads, Denton quickly became the main
- 9:44Speaker 2: focus of the investigation, and police began to wonder if
- 9:47Speaker 2: he was simply a concerned neighbor or if he knew
- 9:50Speaker 2: far more about William's death than he was letting on.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I didn't even notice TV's missing too.
- 9:56Speaker 5: TV's missing, no wallet, no phone.
- 10:00Speaker 1: No fourth century.
- 10:02Speaker 5: I think we need the cop to this guy. He
- 10:07Speaker 5: just got here, Oh, I told Jeff. Yeah, they I
- 10:11Speaker 5: talked with them over there. They said he comes over
- 10:13Speaker 5: a lot, and cops was home, and they said if
- 10:16Speaker 5: anything ever happened to him, it would be because of
- 10:19Speaker 5: somebody of Wo's department.
- 10:21Speaker 1: He noticed that there's some red fuzz all over the place.
- 10:24Speaker 1: I'm not sure what came from, but.
- 10:32Speaker 5: All the doors in his bedroom are open, keys, wallet, phone,
- 10:35Speaker 5: stuff that normally would be.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Laying out what kind of car, the red Ford Focus.
- 10:42Speaker 5: We have the tag and everything, and corney just sent
- 10:44Speaker 5: out of bolo did not release any information.
- 10:46Speaker 1: She said, just stop this vehicle, notify our department.
- 10:49Speaker 2: To find answers. The cops needed to locate that red
- 10:53Speaker 2: Ford Focus, which was now on the radar of the
- 10:55Speaker 2: entire Fort Smith Police Department. Whoever had possession of William's
- 10:59Speaker 2: vehicle could undoubtedly help solve this case, but the officers
- 11:03Speaker 2: had no idea where to start looking until William's son
- 11:06Speaker 2: arrived at the scene, providing them with a major breakthrough.
- 11:12Speaker 1: That's a sun. That's a sun bringing it out.
- 11:21Speaker 9: Black box in the car.
- 11:35Speaker 2: According to the Sun, William had a GPS tracking device
- 11:41Speaker 2: installed in his car, and the car is actually owned
- 11:44Speaker 2: by William's wife, Susan, who has access to a mobile
- 11:47Speaker 2: app that could track his location. The cops now know
- 11:50Speaker 2: this tracking device is their only key to crack the
- 11:53Speaker 2: case wide open and catch the killer. So with this
- 11:57Speaker 2: in mind, officers would quickly redirects their attention to Susan's home,
- 12:02Speaker 2: but unfortunately, they'd also have the difficult task of informing
- 12:06Speaker 2: Susan that her husband passed away.
- 12:28Speaker 5: I'm as Susan, I'm off, Sir Hendrix, I'm sorry meeting
- 12:32Speaker 5: you under these circumstances.
- 12:41Speaker 1: During it might it might be better on your life.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Just experience with experiences.
- 12:52Speaker 10: Every complete investigation, top to bottom, because we don't want
- 12:56Speaker 10: to leave any stone unturned with that next chance. So, okay,
- 13:01Speaker 10: what and we're not saying this is a homicide at
- 13:05Speaker 10: this point. Okay, we had strokes and he could have
- 13:09Speaker 10: failed and his head, but there's some blood there that
- 13:11Speaker 10: we're concerned about it.
- 13:12Speaker 1: Does that make sense failing?
- 13:14Speaker 10: Okay, so strange, Say, here's our biggest issue.
- 13:18Speaker 7: He was trying to show it.
- 13:19Speaker 10: Okay, here's our big right now?
- 13:22Speaker 1: Is the core is missing?
- 13:24Speaker 10: Oh no, yes, where's your track or you have a
- 13:27Speaker 10: tracker on?
- 13:28Speaker 1: Yes, her phone right here, right here? No, that's true,
- 13:32Speaker 1: in thettle kitchen, her phone.
- 13:36Speaker 10: If you can gotta get me a location on the car.
- 13:40Speaker 1: It's gonna be tremendous and it could be the fact.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Records.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Kelly. Yeah, it's parked at a house.
- 14:04Speaker 11: And it's the car.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Okay, Thanks to Susan, the cops now know where the
- 14:18Speaker 2: missing vehicle is without wasting any time. Officers quickly leave
- 14:22Speaker 2: Susan's house and head towards the location of the car,
- 14:25Speaker 2: but they have no idea who has it or what
- 14:27Speaker 2: kind of danger they could be facing when they find it.
- 14:30Speaker 2: After all, this is the stolen car of a murdered man.
- 14:37Speaker 1: Hello, y'all live here? Okay, you live here? Okay, we're
- 14:47Speaker 1: looking out the wind. We got people looking up the windows.
- 14:49Speaker 1: So's you got an idea on you? It's actually channels one.
- 14:58Speaker 5: Okay, let's go inside. Let's go inside. Let's go get
- 15:03Speaker 5: your wallet. No, no, no, you can go. You can
- 15:06Speaker 5: do whatever you gotta do. O hay and ty you

- 15:14Speaker 5: Go inside with this? I mean she can hay time
- 15:18Speaker 5: for me right here, we're gonna come. We're gonna go
- 15:20Speaker 5: all go over here. Let's all go over here.
- 15:22Speaker 1: What's going on? I don't know.
- 15:24Speaker 5: Let's go over here, all yeah, yeah, something something's going
- 15:30Speaker 5: on over there, and we'll explin with you.
- 15:33Speaker 2: It seems there's someone in this house who wants to
- 15:36Speaker 2: avoid the cops, and these officers know they could be
- 15:40Speaker 2: walking into an ambush. So everybody behind that door is
- 15:43Speaker 2: a person of interest.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Okay, So basically they came out the back. They tried
- 15:48Speaker 1: to go out the back.
- 15:49Speaker 5: Uh. They said they were going outside of smoke. Somebody
- 15:51Speaker 5: just shut the front door on me. So, hey, come
- 15:58Speaker 5: out with your hands up.
- 15:59Speaker 1: We know you're in here. Come out up ward's the
- 16:01Speaker 1: police department. Go ahead, a whole traffic.
- 16:05Speaker 12: Hell's hey, they.
- 16:10Speaker 5: Come out, come out? Okay, okay, just come out on
- 16:13Speaker 5: the side of the house. Who else is here?
- 16:15Speaker 1: It's an investigation.
- 16:17Speaker 5: We're gonna explain that. We're gonna explain that who in here?
- 16:20Speaker 5: Just walk out to that side of the house for me.
- 16:22Speaker 5: Who else is in here? Does anybody else in here?
- 16:25Speaker 5: Just walk out here right here, so the right, Thank you, Taylor.
- 16:31Speaker 1: That's Taylor. Who else is in here? Go ahead and
- 16:35Speaker 1: step out? No, go ahead.
- 16:39Speaker 3: For police.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Is your lifetime to come out? Really, come out with
- 16:45Speaker 1: your hands up. Keep your hands in the air and
- 16:46Speaker 1: see them.
- 16:47Speaker 5: Keep your hands in the air, right and see you
- 16:48Speaker 5: keep walking, keep walking, walk toward me. Okay, Randall, go ahead,
- 16:56Speaker 5: step off that porch into your right on the side
- 16:58Speaker 5: of the house. Okay, who who else is back here?
- 17:02Speaker 1: Be real with me.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Officers would go on to conduct a room by room
- 17:09Speaker 2: sweep of the house and confirm it was empty before
- 17:12Speaker 2: returning outside to face a different challenge, a handful of
- 17:15Speaker 2: detained suspects with potential ties to William's missing car. Among
- 17:20Speaker 2: the small group, officers noted a mix of faces, some nervous,
- 17:25Speaker 2: some indifferent, but it wasn't immediately clear who knew what
- 17:28Speaker 2: until the question of the red car came up.
- 17:31Speaker 1: All these subjects were inside the house.
- 17:35Speaker 5: When asked any of them, who's his red car, they
- 17:37Speaker 5: all pointed to Taylor Elkins.
- 17:39Speaker 2: The moment officer Shelby asked who owned the red Ford
- 17:43Speaker 2: parked out front, everyone pointed, without hesitation, at the same person,
- 17:48Speaker 2: Taylor Elkins, the first woman who exited the house earlier
- 17:52Speaker 2: when police barged inside. Having possession of a man's car
- 17:56Speaker 2: who had just turned up dead is naturally going to
- 17:59Speaker 2: raise spen and surprisingly, Taylor herself would go on to
- 18:03Speaker 2: admit that indeed the car belongs to her.
- 18:08Speaker 10: Here's you, one of the females that we got out
- 18:10Speaker 10: of here, uh, and I said, there's this car belonging there.
- 18:21Speaker 2: With this revelation, the focus was pinned directly on Taylor,
- 18:25Speaker 2: and it was time for her to explain how she
- 18:27Speaker 2: ended up in the possession of a dead man's car.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Taylor Aster and drinks. Obviously, did he read you your
- 18:38Speaker 1: Marianda rights? He did.
- 18:40Speaker 5: He let your rights, your rights to an attorney and
- 18:41Speaker 5: everything like that. Okay, where'd you get the car?
- 18:45Speaker 8: Are you.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Okay? It's just a braend witer black? No, I didn't
- 18:58Speaker 1: say it was okay.
- 19:00Speaker 13: I finally don't know how he got it though. Okay,
- 19:03Speaker 13: I was like, dude, you got your phone on you?
- 19:07Speaker 13: Where's your phone out in there? Come on?
- 19:16Speaker 5: So you got it from Sean the first entrance off
- 19:18Speaker 5: of Albert Pike to kit to forty two one.
- 19:23Speaker 1: He's a as well. Okay, do you give him any
- 19:29Speaker 1: money for it or like that? We're just friends. What's
- 19:32Speaker 1: his name on Facebook? Se I don't know. I don't know.
- 19:37Speaker 1: I don't have a phone. I don't get on Facebook.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Despite Taylor's vague recollection of how she came in possession
- 19:45Speaker 2: of William's car, officers managed to get a name from her, Sean,
- 19:49Speaker 2: who is a friend of Taylor that she borrowed the
- 19:52Speaker 2: car from, or at least that's what she claims. If
- 19:55Speaker 2: her story is not a complete fabrication, then whoever Sean
- 19:58Speaker 2: is could be the key to solving the a case. However,
- 20:02Speaker 2: It's at this time that officers realized they didn't know
- 20:06Speaker 2: nearly enough about Taylor, her background, her relationships, and whether
- 20:10Speaker 2: she might be tied to Denton Stringer, the neighbor who
- 20:12Speaker 2: was already under suspicion. So over the next few minutes,
- 20:16Speaker 2: we will follow these officers in real time as they
- 20:19Speaker 2: connect the dots and discover critical information in one of
- 20:22Speaker 2: the best detective works we have ever covered.
- 20:27Speaker 11: Hi, I arrested her two weeks ago or elkins, Huh?
- 20:36Speaker 11: I think that's a bit more. Maybe daddy to her
- 20:38Speaker 11: or something like that.
- 20:40Speaker 14: She's got two kids, Hey, check them?
- 20:44Speaker 1: Come here.
- 20:46Speaker 14: That's Taylor's grandparents' house.
- 20:48Speaker 1: That's That's what I said. And familiar and didn't want
- 20:50Speaker 1: to hurt she coming out here. So I know this chick.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Hey are they homos?
- 20:55Speaker 3: So that really?
- 20:58Speaker 1: Where's she at? Taylor us be shel.
- 21:02Speaker 14: You know that's her grandparents' house, right, the South Greenwood
- 21:06Speaker 14: address is her grandparents house her. Yeah, I swear to you,
- 21:11Speaker 14: she's bonded out to that address out of Croppord County.
- 21:13Speaker 14: She's got like ten fellonsim, I swear to you.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Is it?
- 21:18Speaker 2: The officer just made a crucial connection Taylor's last known
- 21:22Speaker 2: address given to police during her previous arrest was her
- 21:25Speaker 2: grandparents' house and the same duplex that William lived in.
- 21:31Speaker 8: Shut up, did you tell Shelby?
- 21:36Speaker 1: I said, I think that's yeah.
- 21:40Speaker 5: Eighteen d South Greenwood was Hey, sorry sorry sorry, give
- 21:49Speaker 5: me do So.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Her address is the orders address. Her address is the
- 21:57Speaker 1: neighbor's eighteen or so green What is her? That's cool?
- 22:02Speaker 14: That's what's herana's house.
- 22:03Speaker 1: And she's eighteen dr South Graver is all in icis
- 22:07Speaker 1: about it. I think.
- 22:10Speaker 14: She's wondered out there because I rested two weeks ago
- 22:12Speaker 14: and then like a week after her addresses.
- 22:14Speaker 5: To eighteen hundred South Greenwich, she spent got domestic assault.
- 22:17Speaker 5: The guy that called it in Wow, that's his eighteen
- 22:21Speaker 5: hundred because our guys is eighteen.
- 22:24Speaker 2: The officers figured it out the two prime suspects were related.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Taylor was Denton's granddaughter and likely the daughter the woman
- 22:34Speaker 2: in the shop had found suspicious earlier. But what these
- 22:37Speaker 2: officers are about to discover next would put the spotlight
- 22:41Speaker 2: solely on Taylor.
- 22:43Speaker 7: Mouman has her on camera leaving on the eighth in
- 22:46Speaker 7: the car matdres eight Yeah, so three days.
- 22:54Speaker 1: About three days yeah, Monday night. Yeah, the the d
- 22:58Speaker 1: comp path. Yeah, it's about too.
- 23:01Speaker 2: With this final piece of evidence, it is safe to
- 23:03Speaker 2: conclude that Taylor Elkins has a major role in William's death,
- 23:07Speaker 2: and detectives needed to get to the bottom of her involvement.
- 23:12Speaker 2: The other detained individuals were briefly questioned, but no one
- 23:16Speaker 2: had direct ties to William or knew anything about the
- 23:19Speaker 2: stolen vehicle, so with no solid evidence against them, they
- 23:23Speaker 2: were released. With the Onseen investigation at its end, the
- 23:27Speaker 2: next move was obvious, taking Taylor in for a formal interrogation.
- 23:35Speaker 2: A few hours later. Taylor is placed inside an interrogation
- 23:38Speaker 2: room and left by herself for the next ten minutes,
- 23:41Speaker 2: giving her enough time to come up with a plausible
- 23:43Speaker 2: alibi to go with. What Taylor doesn't realize is that
- 23:47Speaker 2: when the detective walks in, he has information that will
- 23:50Speaker 2: completely disprove every excuse she has.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Hello, how are you.
- 23:59Speaker 6: Good?
- 23:59Speaker 7: Bit better?
- 24:01Speaker 5: All right?
- 24:02Speaker 3: Taylor? So you know why you're down here?
- 24:05Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 24:07Speaker 3: Yeah, Well why are you down here?
- 24:10Speaker 8: In the car stolen? I don't know I had it
- 24:12Speaker 8: in my well, I didn't have it in my cousin people. Well,
- 24:16Speaker 8: I don't know how s it wasn't in my property.
- 24:19Speaker 4: I didn't. I wasn't in the bar or nothing like that.
- 24:21Speaker 3: But it was fallen.
- 24:22Speaker 8: And everybody wanted to fared at me. And I mean
- 24:25Speaker 8: I've been driving it.
- 24:27Speaker 3: So yeah, okay, And where did you get it from?
- 24:30Speaker 8: This Sean? I don't know his last name or really,
- 24:34Speaker 8: I don't know that man.
- 24:35Speaker 6: I just called.
- 24:35Speaker 8: I say, hey, chill, chill. Amazingly, he's had a friend
- 24:40Speaker 8: like he does drugs, you know, and so funny you don't.
- 24:44Speaker 8: I don't know everybody you've.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Been you've been arrested Lately's when's the last time you wrested?
- 24:50Speaker 12: Uh?
- 24:51Speaker 8: Last week? Definitely? I got my kids seeing him. It
- 24:54Speaker 8: was Miller and this other guy.
- 24:55Speaker 3: And when when you bonded out? I finished one? Okay,
- 24:59Speaker 3: what address did you? It's war.
- 25:03Speaker 8: Sure JA bought it out too.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I'm bidding the DIY bond you out No?
- 25:15Speaker 8: No eight again? Would at Okay?
- 25:22Speaker 3: When's the last time part of that? You were there
- 25:24Speaker 3: two days ago?
- 25:28Speaker 8: I an't born out of that?
- 25:29Speaker 3: Is chill.
- 25:31Speaker 2: In just a few minutes, this detective was able to
- 25:34Speaker 2: make Taylor confirm most of the evidence connecting her to
- 25:37Speaker 2: the crime in her own words, Taylor admitted that Denton
- 25:41Speaker 2: Stringer is indeed her grandfather. She had William's car for
- 25:44Speaker 2: a few days, and most importantly, she was at Denton's
- 25:48Speaker 2: house the same period when William was killed. But this
- 25:52Speaker 2: detective was just getting started and he's about to make
- 25:55Speaker 2: Taylor dig her own grave.
- 25:57Speaker 3: So what about the gut of the next door for
- 25:59Speaker 3: you know him?
- 26:00Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 26:00Speaker 3: Who's that?
- 26:00Speaker 8: He named Bill?
- 26:01Speaker 15: Bill?
- 26:03Speaker 12: I don't know.
- 26:04Speaker 8: I don't know people that name?
- 26:06Speaker 3: Yeah, he zil Oh? Was that fencing Bill?
- 26:11Speaker 12: I don't know.
- 26:13Speaker 8: I don't know he works doing.
- 26:15Speaker 3: So this car you've been riding around there? Whose car
- 26:18Speaker 3: is that?
- 26:19Speaker 12: I don't know.
- 26:20Speaker 3: You haven't seen that car before. I've seen it where
- 26:23Speaker 3: there where?
- 26:25Speaker 8: Oh, we're Tiler.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Work, Tiler.
- 26:33Speaker 8: There's a car.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Kay?
- 26:44Speaker 3: Wow, thank you kind of knew that?
- 26:48Speaker 8: No, I didn't. I really got in.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Thank you. I didn't. I think you did. I think
- 26:55Speaker 3: I think you know Bill?
- 26:56Speaker 8: I know Bill?
- 26:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I would you know.
- 26:58Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 27:00Speaker 3: When's last night you seeing?
- 27:03Speaker 8: I should like he come in.
- 27:05Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't pay attention to him.
- 27:09Speaker 8: Really, you.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Haven't got all the fans of all of a sudden,
- 27:14Speaker 3: I'm just gonna as before I ever school face. I
- 27:22Speaker 3: want to make sure that we're understanding of each other.
- 27:26Speaker 8: Okay, I really I don't like, I don't know, I like,
- 27:32Speaker 8: pay attention, do the ole thing.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I'm just trying to figure out if you're
- 27:43Speaker 3: being inlawest with.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Actually, Taylor is trapped. She just implicated herself further by
- 27:51Speaker 2: admitting that she knows William and to her surprise, was
- 27:55Speaker 2: driving his very car. After this brilliant line of questioning,
- 28:01Speaker 2: the detective tells Taylor to sit tight and leaves the room.
- 28:04Speaker 2: During this time, he would make a phone call to
- 28:06Speaker 2: Taylor's grandfather, Denton Stringer, and Denton would tell him that
- 28:10Speaker 2: Taylor was at his house a few days ago along
- 28:13Speaker 2: with two white males. With this information at hand, the
- 28:17Speaker 2: detective comes back to the interrogation room with one goal
- 28:21Speaker 2: make Taylor confess to whatever she did inside William's home.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Taken. Hi, you me both, girl, I'm old. Ask you something.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Do you have a phone?
- 28:42Speaker 8: You don't have.
- 28:49Speaker 16: Home?
- 28:54Speaker 3: Okay, Tiger, you you went to your dad's today? Were
- 29:00Speaker 3: there earlier this week? Like one to your Tuesday? Let
- 29:04Speaker 3: me rephrase that you were there earlier this week and
- 29:07Speaker 3: you had two white males with you? Who's those two
- 29:08Speaker 3: white guys.
- 29:09Speaker 8: That are with you?
- 29:11Speaker 3: Because I've already talked, I've already talked to your grandpa. Okay,
- 29:16Speaker 3: and right different side, your grandpa's at school. That school's
- 29:20Speaker 3: got video and it shows you're showing up with two
- 29:21Speaker 3: white males. So I'm just kind of curious those two
- 29:23Speaker 3: white males on.
- 29:24Speaker 9: Them, you know.
- 29:33Speaker 3: So you don't believe that males car?
- 29:36Speaker 4: I mean it is.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Even when directly confronted with undeniable facts, Taylor continues to
- 29:43Speaker 2: play dumb, even making a mockery of the entire situation.
- 29:47Speaker 2: So in order to make it clear to Taylor that
- 29:50Speaker 2: this is a serious situation, the detective would reveal the
- 29:53Speaker 2: true reason she's in the interrogation room because she is
- 29:57Speaker 2: a murder suspect.
- 29:59Speaker 3: You know what. That's Bill's Carr, but he's dead. They
- 30:04Speaker 3: beat him to death, and you're driving the car from
- 30:08Speaker 3: a man who's been beat to death. I don't know
- 30:11Speaker 3: that you ain't got something to do with it. If
- 30:14Speaker 3: you want to play tough girl with me, and let
- 30:15Speaker 3: me tell you this is not gonna work out for you,
- 30:17Speaker 3: real good. He's been beat too, dead. He taking mine?
- 30:24Speaker 3: You think why the hell. You think I'm here? You
- 30:27Speaker 3: know why I'm here? Do you know what my title is?
- 30:30Speaker 3: Homo tape? Hey, it's got real. You talk about losing
- 30:35Speaker 3: your girls, if it's been losing for a lifetime, you
- 30:39Speaker 3: know what you're You're knee deep in this ship right now.
- 30:44Speaker 3: You better start coming clean. I'm just letting you know.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Here's here, where we're at, Taylor. I'm gonna be honest
- 30:50Speaker 3: with you. This can know either really good for Taylor
- 30:53Speaker 3: or this can go really bad for Tator, because I
- 30:55Speaker 3: can promise you I'm really good at what I do.
- 30:57Speaker 3: If I can catch you andy lie, and if you
- 30:59Speaker 3: lie to me, I will. I will put you in
- 31:02Speaker 3: prison for the rest of your little life.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Just know that now that Taylor understands the severity of
- 31:09Speaker 2: everything and is deeply emotional, the detective will seize the
- 31:13Speaker 2: moment to confront her by exploiting her vulnerable state in
- 31:17Speaker 2: hopes that the emotional pressure will break her defenses and
- 31:21Speaker 2: compel her to finally tell the truth.
- 31:24Speaker 3: I'm not threatening you, I'm promising you. So if you
- 31:30Speaker 3: give a damn about Bill, if you didn't kill if
- 31:36Speaker 3: you didn't beat the hell out of that old man,
- 31:39Speaker 3: you're driving the car that was taken after the beating,
- 31:43Speaker 3: you enter come up with who had this damn car
- 31:45Speaker 3: or who you took over there with you that seeing
- 31:47Speaker 3: him and went back in targets at him. Listen to me,
- 31:51Speaker 3: here's you. You better start coming up with some bull
- 31:54Speaker 3: names because you know what, who do you need to
- 31:56Speaker 3: think of right now? Who's the most important person in
- 31:59Speaker 3: your life?
- 31:59Speaker 8: Right now?
- 32:01Speaker 3: You and your babies, and you better take care of them.
- 32:04Speaker 17: I tell you you think you better think hard because
- 32:10Speaker 17: I got all night till I get paid about the hour,
- 32:13Speaker 17: I'll say here all weeknd you're riding around the dead
- 32:16Speaker 17: man's car.
- 32:16Speaker 3: I didn't know you're dead, tell dead. But you know
- 32:20Speaker 3: the people who probably killed him?
- 32:22Speaker 2: She told you.
- 32:23Speaker 3: I got the crops sean who in the apartment that
- 32:26Speaker 3: you pointed out, the guy that old man died and
- 32:30Speaker 3: then had a heart attack and died in one last week,
- 32:32Speaker 3: and the other ones got.
- 32:33Speaker 18: An old woman that lives in That's fun. I'm just
- 32:38Speaker 18: I'm giving you an opportunity right now, Oh man, I'm
- 32:41Speaker 18: telling you, okay, tell me, I told you.
- 32:44Speaker 12: I'm telling you, like.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Bro, then is if you had to get shown right now,
- 32:50Speaker 3: where'd you go get him? At it's one apartment number,
- 32:55Speaker 3: it's a corner. There's four or five sixty seven.
- 32:59Speaker 19: It's either.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Now, it seems like Taylor has a story to prove
- 33:04Speaker 2: her alibi. Taylor claims that William's car belongs to a
- 33:07Speaker 2: man named Sean, who she borrowed the car from recently.
- 33:10Speaker 2: If what she's saying is true, then Sean could very
- 33:14Speaker 2: well be the perpetrator of this evil crime. However, Taylor
- 33:17Speaker 2: would also proceed to point more accusations towards Sean, telling
- 33:21Speaker 2: the detective that he assaulted her, ruined her life, and
- 33:24Speaker 2: took her kids away. This means that Taylor was likely
- 33:28Speaker 2: involved in a relationship with Sean for a good amount
- 33:31Speaker 2: of time. But what's strange about this entire story is
- 33:35Speaker 2: that every time the detective asks Taylor for personal information
- 33:38Speaker 2: about this Sean guy, she dodges the questions and refuses
- 33:43Speaker 2: to give any information away. So, with Taylor seemingly uncooperative,
- 33:48Speaker 2: the detective would end this interview to get to the
- 33:51Speaker 2: bottom of her claims and figure out who Sean really is,
- 33:55Speaker 2: and what they discovered would put Taylor in an even
- 33:59Speaker 2: worse city situation.
- 34:03Speaker 3: He's been thinking about anything so like, have no issue.
- 34:15Speaker 3: So this is guy you say to get a car from?
- 34:19Speaker 12: Are you sure what?
- 34:21Speaker 3: Jesus in jail?
- 34:24Speaker 1: H hope?
- 34:27Speaker 3: So she's been in jail since June sixth.
- 34:30Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Do you think I'll bring this up?
- 34:34Speaker 7: No?
- 34:36Speaker 3: So if he's in jail, had to give you a car.
- 34:42Speaker 1: M hm.
- 34:48Speaker 3: Ver we think this tainer that's looking like you kill me?
- 34:52Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 34:53Speaker 3: I know you think it's funny that wasn't me. Would
- 34:56Speaker 3: you better figure it out then? Because you just lied.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Sean giving her the car was a completely fabricated story,
- 35:06Speaker 2: and the detective just proved it. So with this major
- 35:10Speaker 2: lie exposed, Taylor has taken away to sleep in jail
- 35:14Speaker 2: while detectives work on finding more incriminating evidence against her.
- 35:19Speaker 2: The next day, Taylor is brought back into the interrogation
- 35:22Speaker 2: room in an orange jumpsuit. This time, the detective has
- 35:26Speaker 2: prepared undeniable evidence to thoroughly debunk her entire alibi and
- 35:31Speaker 2: make her confess.
- 35:41Speaker 3: You don't know what happened to you believe he's dead?
- 35:52Speaker 3: Now do you still think this is all Joe?
- 36:01Speaker 12: Sleep?
- 36:03Speaker 3: You won't sleep. That's will put you.
- 36:07Speaker 16: There's only one way you're ever gonna get any relief. Well,
- 36:11Speaker 16: you're gonna get any closure, and you're gonna have to
- 36:13Speaker 16: tell us the truth of everything you know. And you
- 36:15Speaker 16: haven't done it yet, and it's gonna be the hardest
- 36:17Speaker 16: thing for you to do, but it's the.
- 36:19Speaker 3: Only way you're gonna get any peace ever. M at
- 36:23Speaker 3: a minimum. If you didn't do it, you know who did?
- 36:29Speaker 3: Are you scared of the person who's involved in this?
- 36:35Speaker 3: You really do get people haven't got an your face.
- 36:42Speaker 3: I had to threaten you. I'll let you know what
- 36:44Speaker 3: sticks gonna happen to you.
- 36:48Speaker 8: You don't believe, I don't believe.
- 36:51Speaker 3: I don't believe liars, okay, and you're a damn liar. Well,
- 36:57Speaker 3: you need to be helping us. If you even cared
- 36:59Speaker 3: about the old man that's been beat today at a shot,
- 37:02Speaker 3: you need to be helping us. You don't think he
- 37:05Speaker 3: was shot. You don't see that. You'll see again, get
- 37:12Speaker 3: a better way out. I want you to remember that
- 37:14Speaker 3: picture every now in your life.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Evern Elkins's body language has shifted from cocky and playful
- 37:22Speaker 2: to scared and confused and just about everything else in between.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Her behavior would change again after she's allowed to make
- 37:29Speaker 2: a phone call to her mother, where she'd stop pleading
- 37:32Speaker 2: innocence and start playing the victim. She's now going to
- 37:35Speaker 2: paint a picture of a man named Joseph Rogers, better
- 37:38Speaker 2: known as Joe, that will make him out to be
- 37:41Speaker 2: the bad guy.
- 37:42Speaker 12: So we let you talk to your mom. So now
- 37:46Speaker 12: what I would like to ask you. I'm sure he
- 37:49Speaker 12: tell us the truth. That's true. I mean, I told
- 37:52Speaker 12: you all the truth today, but.
- 37:54Speaker 3: To tell you all of it awesome again. What happened
- 37:59Speaker 3: and exactly the truth?
- 38:00Speaker 12: Boy happened to that?
- 38:03Speaker 3: I said, Joe came over that and.
- 38:07Speaker 8: He he asked me playing out of the house and
- 38:10Speaker 8: that someone that he didn't have ship. He's like, we
- 38:12Speaker 8: knock on the door and knock on the door, and
- 38:15Speaker 8: then he went in.
- 38:16Speaker 3: I went.
- 38:17Speaker 8: That's when I went to McDonalds.
- 38:18Speaker 3: And I came back.
- 38:19Speaker 19: He so he took care of it.
- 38:21Speaker 3: Killed the when he do nothing like that.
- 38:24Speaker 12: When he said he took care of it.
- 38:27Speaker 4: He told me that.
- 38:27Speaker 8: I because you know, cause I asked, I ask what happened.
- 38:31Speaker 4: Because I had a little cardon and so I'm scared,
- 38:33Speaker 4: you know, I didn't want to go went there nothing.
- 38:35Speaker 8: I didn't know what happened, and I just I can't
- 38:38Speaker 8: ask him what happened, What happened? What happened? He kept
- 38:41Speaker 8: telling me.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Then he took care of it, and it's okay that
- 38:45Speaker 3: he finished it.
- 38:46Speaker 8: Balls blah, there's nothing to come about it.
- 38:49Speaker 3: And he's just he just kept telling you that.
- 38:52Speaker 8: He's like, did get rid of the cheties? Blah blah blah.
- 38:56Speaker 3: He's like, I'm not touching him. And that's why I
- 38:58Speaker 3: had Pete pondles.
- 38:59Speaker 8: Like I didn't know if I knew all that I
- 39:01Speaker 8: wanted to a calm la name, I knew he was
- 39:05Speaker 8: danted like that where you like.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Elkins has implicated Joe by claiming he'd taken care of
- 39:14Speaker 2: William while he was robbing him of his belongings. She
- 39:17Speaker 2: also claims he's behind the whole thing and she was
- 39:20Speaker 2: too terrified to stop him. If this wasn't the third
- 39:23Speaker 2: story she'd came up with, the detectives may have believed her,
- 39:27Speaker 2: But what Elkins doesn't realize is that the detectives have
- 39:30Speaker 2: potential evidence that will place her at the scene of
- 39:33Speaker 2: the crime and prove she's been lying all along.
- 39:37Speaker 3: He was.
- 39:37Speaker 12: One thing that is concerning is the fact that Bill
- 39:42Speaker 12: does have hair in his hand. Okay, and we had
- 39:47Speaker 12: a detective down there, Darren his all tossing states that
- 39:53Speaker 12: the hair is the.
- 39:54Speaker 19: Same color as yours, and Joe doesn't have any hair,
- 40:00Speaker 19: Where would they come from? M hm, did you ever
- 40:21Speaker 19: see Bill after McDonald's.
- 40:25Speaker 2: If that lack of hair they found on William's body
- 40:27Speaker 2: belongs to Elkins, then her stories will mean nothing, as
- 40:32Speaker 2: the physical evidence will do the talking for her. But
- 40:37Speaker 2: right now that's not the only thing she has to
- 40:39Speaker 2: worry about, as detectives have even more evidence that proves
- 40:43Speaker 2: her whole story has been a lie from the very beginning,
- 40:47Speaker 2: and it's all thanks to the GPS tracker William's wife
- 40:51Speaker 2: installed in his car. That GPS tracker would also help
- 40:55Speaker 2: detectives to map everywhere she had been from the very
- 40:58Speaker 2: moment she stepped in the car, and then use the
- 41:00Speaker 2: CCTV to determine who was inside the vehicle.
- 41:04Speaker 3: I know you don't have me. I'm sorry.
- 41:06Speaker 6: You got a job to do.
- 41:07Speaker 3: I hope you understand that. Let me show you no picture.
- 41:11Speaker 18: Who's that?
- 41:13Speaker 19: Who is that?
- 41:14Speaker 5: Well?
- 41:14Speaker 3: There he is in the car with you and Bill's car.
- 41:19Speaker 8: Joe want to kill him.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Joe was with you when you left the house and
- 41:23Speaker 3: when you went to the casino to Joe kill him.
- 41:27Speaker 3: Here's your opportunity. We got the evidence. There's a tracker
- 41:32Speaker 3: on the car. We take it straight from when you
- 41:35Speaker 3: left there. You go to Kavanall, you go to the casino.
- 41:39Speaker 3: So you need to get get this. It's real, real
- 41:41Speaker 3: for you, real quick. So you need to think about
- 41:43Speaker 3: this because we're peace to take this to the prosecutor
- 41:46Speaker 3: to get a warrant feed for murder. So you better
- 41:48Speaker 3: start thinking if you want to take the rap or
- 41:50Speaker 3: you want to be honest, because we're we're running out
- 41:52Speaker 3: of town. You know you ain't. No, you ain't.
- 41:55Speaker 6: I just showed you.
- 41:56Speaker 3: I just tell you what but I think you know.
- 42:03Speaker 8: Okay, come up and tell me right.
- 42:06Speaker 3: Now that you're protecting him, you'll be charging him.
- 42:09Speaker 12: You know what happened.
- 42:10Speaker 3: So people did come up to tell you.
- 42:11Speaker 8: I'll tell you how that people murder.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Somebody knows your laugh. I'll be back that murder wark.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Taylor's arrogance with the entire situation has seemed to finally
- 42:25Speaker 2: have caught up to her, and her extreme stubbornness has
- 42:28Speaker 2: left the detectives with no choice other than to resort
- 42:31Speaker 2: to other methods of incriminating suspects such as DNA samples,
- 42:36Speaker 2: hair samples, and last but not least, the polygraph. The
- 42:41Speaker 2: polygraph test was done off camera. However, the polygraph examiner
- 42:45Speaker 2: would have some harsh words for Taylor after the test
- 42:48Speaker 2: had concluded.
- 43:00Speaker 3: Deception means that you're trying to deceive if you're not
- 43:02Speaker 3: being truthful. Am.
- 43:05Speaker 15: I brought this in here to show you. You see
- 43:12Speaker 15: that question that says R five a big spike on it.
- 43:19Speaker 15: That's where you were telling us a lie. You were
- 43:22Speaker 15: lying to me when I asked you in the test.
- 43:24Speaker 15: Were you present when he was attacked? When I asked you,
- 43:32Speaker 15: did you kill him? Your reading is stronger than that.
- 43:39Speaker 8: Because you're just.
- 43:43Speaker 6: Well, I really don't give a ship if you're I'm
- 43:49Speaker 6: not a rude person. You're a rude, code, heartless murderer.
- 43:54Speaker 12: That's what you are.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Look at you. You have no defense to yourself killed
- 44:00Speaker 3: the old man where you're capable. Let you're right in
- 44:05Speaker 3: the middle of all of it. And why are you
- 44:07Speaker 3: the old thing?
- 44:08Speaker 6: Yourself to You ain't told this and you may have
- 44:11Speaker 6: everything's finger and everybody else you do.
- 44:17Speaker 3: This is not gonna go away, This is not gonna quit.
- 44:20Speaker 6: You're gonna keep having your little mountain bears that you have,
- 44:23Speaker 6: and I hope you do for the rest of your
- 44:24Speaker 6: fucking life.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Taylor would never formally confess during the rest of the interrogation,
- 44:29Speaker 2: continuing to point fingers, blame others, sometimes being completely imaginary people,
- 44:35Speaker 2: and playing the victim. William de Boat Junior had suffered
- 44:39Speaker 2: from twenty seven impact injuries and met a terrifying end
- 44:44Speaker 2: the day of his death. The hair sample found in
- 44:49Speaker 2: William's hand was eventually matched to the hair of Taylor's,
- 44:52Speaker 2: adding one final cherry on top to help convict her.
- 44:56Speaker 2: Detectives ultimately believed Elkins was responsible. Although she didn't confess
- 45:01Speaker 2: to the cops, she allegedly made a confession during her incarceration.
- 45:06Speaker 2: She also told another inmate that she went to William's
- 45:08Speaker 2: house to borrow some money and had become angry when
- 45:11Speaker 2: he didn't have any, so, out of both frustration and
- 45:14Speaker 2: pure evil, she grabbed a hammer and beat the life
- 45:17Speaker 2: out of William without any remorse. Taylor's grandfather, Denton Stringer,
- 45:24Speaker 2: was initially investigated as a potential suspect, However, with no
- 45:28Speaker 2: solid evidence connecting him to William's murder or Taylor's involvement,
- 45:32Speaker 2: authorities ruled him out. As for Joseph Rogers and Sean,
- 45:37Speaker 2: they were both cleared of any involvement in William's death.
- 45:40Speaker 2: The two had nothing to do with the crime whatsoever
- 45:43Speaker 2: and were simply scapegoats for Taylor to point fingers at.
- 45:47Speaker 2: As for Taylor, she was charged with first degree murder
- 45:50Speaker 2: on October ninth, twenty nineteen, and in January twenty twenty,
- 45:55Speaker 2: she accepted a plea deal that meant she'd avoid a
- 45:58Speaker 2: life sentence. Instead, she was sentenced to over forty years
- 46:02Speaker 2: in prison. Her first chance at parole will come in
- 46:06Speaker 2: twenty fifty nine.
