- 1:49Speaker 1: to thank you for being with us today. I am
- 1:56Speaker 1: trying again well with everything I know to use and
- 2:04Speaker 1: do to solve a cold case, A cold case that
- 2:12Speaker 1: means a great deal to me personally. Chucky Mark a
- 2:19Speaker 1: little boy, a beautiful little boy. I always think of
- 2:23Speaker 1: Chucky and his little League, his little League outfit. And
- 2:31Speaker 1: when I say that, I think of him with the
- 2:35Speaker 1: hat on and the golden brown hair coming out from
- 2:38Speaker 1: under it, and the little jersey, so proud, so proud
- 2:44Speaker 1: in that picture. I mean you just a handsome little
- 2:47Speaker 1: boy too. And it always it gets blurred every time
- 2:51Speaker 1: I think about Chucky, blur in my son John David,
- 2:56Speaker 1: and I think about him and his soccer, you know,
- 3:00Speaker 1: for him when he stands there for the picture and
- 3:03Speaker 1: when he gets a trophy or those horrible little metals
- 3:07Speaker 1: they hand out instead of trophies now and I have
- 3:12Speaker 1: to think about the happiest years of my life because
- 3:17Speaker 1: of him and Lucy, and then Chucky comes back into
- 3:23Speaker 1: my mind's eye. You hear some money in the background.
- 3:28Speaker 1: That's Chucky's mom. It's Cathy Miller. Kathy, I almost stopped
- 3:35Speaker 1: the call calling you to join me today because you know,
- 3:41Speaker 1: sometimes for me, anyway, it's easier for me to get
- 3:46Speaker 1: through the day without thinking about violent crime, without thinking
- 3:51Speaker 1: about the moment Keith was murdered, not wondering what was
- 3:55Speaker 1: the last thing he saw? Did he think about me?
- 3:57Speaker 1: Why wasn't I there? Did he saw? For it? Was
- 4:00Speaker 1: he knocked out immediately? Well? What happened? What did he
- 4:05Speaker 1: go through? Why did this happen? It's just easier to
- 4:10Speaker 1: wake up in the morning, have a cup of tea,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and get busy, because you know, I don't understand that, Nancy,
- 4:20Speaker 1: I understand that feeling. Why is that? I don't know,
- 4:25Speaker 1: but you know, you I wish I could go a day,
- 4:28Speaker 1: you know, pretending that it it didn't happen. But I
- 4:32Speaker 1: live with this empty hole in my heart every day,
- 4:35Speaker 1: and to not talk about it is just to not
- 4:38Speaker 1: to be who I am because I live with that
- 4:41Speaker 1: every day. I live with it every day that he's
- 4:45Speaker 1: gone that I don't. I think the same thing as you.
- 4:48Speaker 1: You know, why wasn't I there? Was he scared? Did
- 4:51Speaker 1: he need me? And I'm his mother and I couldn't
- 4:54Speaker 1: protect him? You know, you watch your children all their lives,
- 4:58Speaker 1: you know, to try to keep them safe, and just
- 5:00Speaker 1: a moment in time he left me and I wasn't there.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I guess I don't pretend it didn't happen. I just um,
- 5:11Speaker 1: I don't want to think about it because it's so painful.
- 5:14Speaker 1: It's just it's so painful. You just don't want that
- 5:17Speaker 1: pain to kind of enter your day or to start
- 5:19Speaker 1: your day. But it's there, you know, no matter what
- 5:22Speaker 1: we do to think that it wasn't it, it's there.
- 5:26Speaker 1: It's always underlining it. You know. It's that current, that
- 5:28Speaker 1: low current in our lives. You know. Another thing that
- 5:32Speaker 1: I really I don't hate it that much, but I
- 5:35Speaker 1: do hate is that people act like if you're connected
- 5:40Speaker 1: to a murder, if somebody in your family or your
- 5:43Speaker 1: friend was murdered, then you're somehow I don't know, let's see,
- 5:49Speaker 1: how can I put it? Look at you different, You're
- 5:52Speaker 1: kind of trashy person. You're like, I don't know that
- 5:58Speaker 1: people don't get happens to every everybody. I think they do.
- 6:02Speaker 1: You know, no one's ever understood that about that, that
- 6:07Speaker 1: people look at you different, they will treat you different.
- 6:09Speaker 1: A sin as say, you say your child was murdered.
- 6:12Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yeah, I guess I can know what
- 6:15Speaker 1: he was doing. You know, if he becomes a victim
- 6:17Speaker 1: again and he didn't do anything wrong. Yeah, just let's
- 6:21Speaker 1: put it out there. At the very beginning, chuck him
- 6:24Speaker 1: off was a little boy. He asked his mom if
- 6:30Speaker 1: he could you know what, why am I telling it?
- 6:32Speaker 1: I've got his mother with me, Kathy, Kathy Miller is
- 6:37Speaker 1: joining me, who I now consider to be a friend,
- 6:40Speaker 1: and we're going to get into how I met Kathy,
- 6:43Speaker 1: which is the craziest thing. How we ever got connected
- 6:50Speaker 1: is fortuitous. It was meant to be. But I want
- 6:54Speaker 1: to go back to that day, the day eight pm,
- 6:59Speaker 1: to just start with that day, Kathy. Okay, it was
- 7:04Speaker 1: Memorial Day and um Chucky would always go to this
- 7:08Speaker 1: little market, a little grocery store just around the corner
- 7:11Speaker 1: from our house and buy candy for school the next day.
- 7:14Speaker 1: And he asked me if he could go. He was
- 7:17Speaker 1: just going to be gone a second, and he went
- 7:20Speaker 1: to the store to buy candy. Around the corner. It's
- 7:24Speaker 1: literally around the corner, around the corner. I mean, yes,
- 7:28Speaker 1: it's just like not even as a blot, baby, And
- 7:32Speaker 1: as the crow flies, it's probably not even a blot,
- 7:34Speaker 1: because this is how it is. Okay, there's the street,
- 7:38Speaker 1: there's a more of a main thoroughfare where the closer
- 7:41Speaker 1: to where the story is. Then you pull off and
- 7:44Speaker 1: you go into a residential suburb and it's tree line
- 7:48Speaker 1: and it's nice and there's no crime there. It's just
- 7:54Speaker 1: a regular American suburban neighborhood. You would. It's pretty. People
- 7:59Speaker 1: are right to a little ball and alley. Yeah, yeah,
- 8:02Speaker 1: around the corner. It's just like a little dream of
- 8:06Speaker 1: what America suburban life would be. And what he would
- 8:09Speaker 1: do is get on his bike and cut through the
- 8:12Speaker 1: neighborhood and go up to the main street, which was
- 8:15Speaker 1: not like some busy eight line. It just happened to
- 8:18Speaker 1: be where a little convenience store thing was. And I mean,
- 8:22Speaker 1: people don't get it in that part of the country.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I remember we were little. Oh my mother would have
- 8:28Speaker 1: had a heart attack because for us to go get
- 8:31Speaker 1: gum or candy. We would have to get on our
- 8:33Speaker 1: bikes and ride our bikes for like, I don't know,
- 8:37Speaker 1: five minutes through woods and dirt roads, and then we'd
- 8:43Speaker 1: come up behind what was called the Pep station and
- 8:49Speaker 1: all we could get in there was like gum or
- 8:51Speaker 1: a couple of and then we'll get on our bikes
- 8:54Speaker 1: and drive all the way back home. You know, really,
- 8:57Speaker 1: you know, it's just a small little country, you know,
- 9:00Speaker 1: a little southern town, and that's just what the kids do.
- 9:03Speaker 1: So that night, where were you at home? Yeah, we
- 9:10Speaker 1: just finished supper and the knock came on the you know,
- 9:17Speaker 1: to my door. But when they left, when he left,
- 9:21Speaker 1: you were washing the dishes and you had your back turned.
- 9:27Speaker 1: What happened? I just, you know, I didn't even look
- 9:30Speaker 1: at him, because it wasn't unusual for Chucky was always
- 9:34Speaker 1: in and out the house, you know, with all the kids.
- 9:37Speaker 1: And he just said, Mom, gonna run to the store
- 9:40Speaker 1: and get some candy for school. And I said, you know,
- 9:43Speaker 1: come back, you know, don't be gone long. And he
- 9:45Speaker 1: said I won't, and you know, out the door in
- 9:48Speaker 1: two seconds. And I didn't look at him before he left.
- 9:51Speaker 1: He just was out the door. You know that you
- 9:54Speaker 1: remember that funny odd because I remember the last time
- 9:57Speaker 1: I saw Keith and he his family lived in Athens
- 10:02Speaker 1: and he was working over the summer and he would
- 10:04Speaker 1: come down to visit me and my family and make
- 10:08Speaker 1: him and he had come for the weekend and stayed
- 10:11Speaker 1: the weekend and set Sunday night. Oh, I didn't want
- 10:14Speaker 1: him to go back, and so he said, okay, I'll stay.
- 10:19Speaker 1: So he stayed Sunday night. And one got up super
- 10:21Speaker 1: early Monday morning to drive I guess like two hours back.
- 10:26Speaker 1: And I remember standing outside. It was chilly because it
- 10:29Speaker 1: was so early in the morning, and he went down
- 10:33Speaker 1: the driveway, turned right and drove off to the horn
- 10:38Speaker 1: and stuck his hand up, his arm above the window
- 10:41Speaker 1: to wave over the And I remember that moment like
- 10:45Speaker 1: right now, like it just happened yesterday. It's funny how
- 10:48Speaker 1: that works that you remember this. It's just as clear.
- 10:51Speaker 1: It's just so clear. And you know how many times
- 10:55Speaker 1: do we play that in your mind? You know? And
- 10:57Speaker 1: I remember thinking as he went out, aside, um, there's
- 11:00Speaker 1: a superstition that says, don't watch the person until they're
- 11:04Speaker 1: out of sight because it's bad luck. And I remember
- 11:06Speaker 1: just before his car went out of side. I kept waving,
- 11:09Speaker 1: but I closed my eyes because I didn't want to
- 11:11Speaker 1: wash any bad luck. Okay, I remember that yesterday, So
- 11:17Speaker 1: you go, sure, go. Okay, then what happened? So you're
- 11:20Speaker 1: washing dishes. I'm washing dishes and then there's a knock
- 11:25Speaker 1: at the door and I go to answer it, and
- 11:27Speaker 1: it's one of his little friends that lives down the street,
- 11:30Speaker 1: and she said, I have see Chucky and I looks
- 11:33Speaker 1: like he's fallen off his bike and hurt himself, you know.
- 11:36Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, oh, no, he's you know, he's broke
- 11:38Speaker 1: his arm, he's broke his leg. So me and my
- 11:41Speaker 1: husband and we grabbed our other child, Greg, who's like
- 11:44Speaker 1: in the first second grade at that time, and we
- 11:48Speaker 1: just run down, you know, to see Chucky. And as
- 11:52Speaker 1: we're running, I see that it is so much more
- 11:56Speaker 1: than that, you know, and it's just then it's just
- 12:00Speaker 1: like slow motion. It's I don't like my feet are
- 12:04Speaker 1: made of let and I just can't get there, you know.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I'm just it's just I can't hardly explain how I
- 12:12Speaker 1: was feeling. I just knew, I knew. And then that's
- 12:18Speaker 1: when we find him and he's laying there and they
- 12:24Speaker 1: think at first that he is a hit and run
- 12:27Speaker 1: and um they roll him over and the bullet went
- 12:32Speaker 1: through the back of his neck and came out his face,
- 12:36Speaker 1: and he's dead. And that was the moment that I
- 12:45Speaker 1: kind of went away and everything changed my whole life.
- 12:50Speaker 1: And that's the last time I saw it. Dear you
- 12:55Speaker 1: say that moment when you thought he had fallen off
- 12:58Speaker 1: his bike, you know, I thought I would find him
- 13:02Speaker 1: sit there, you know, just with his arm or his
- 13:05Speaker 1: leg broke, you know, and I'm thinking, oh my god,
- 13:06Speaker 1: that's the worst thing. And it's so not even that
- 13:14Speaker 1: when you saw him, What did you see exactly? You know,
- 13:26Speaker 1: my mind sort of won't let me think about what
- 13:29Speaker 1: I saw. I know that sounds crazy, but it it
- 13:31Speaker 1: just I get there and it kind of flashes away.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I just saw so much blood because his blonde hair
- 13:38Speaker 1: was all read from from the blood, and everyone. My
- 13:42Speaker 1: husband grabbed me and kind of took me to dispense
- 13:45Speaker 1: or I wouldn't see anything. And the police were there
- 13:47Speaker 1: by that time, and they didn't want me near anything
- 13:50Speaker 1: to this um disturbed the scene. And by that then
- 13:53Speaker 1: there's just this huge crowd and I'm just like hysterical.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I'm just hysterical, and they're trying to get people to
- 14:00Speaker 1: calm me down. And um, it's just something like you
- 14:07Speaker 1: see in the movies. It's just like you see in
- 14:10Speaker 1: the movies. I'm just hysterical and I can't get to
- 14:13Speaker 1: him and I can't help him. And you know, I
- 14:18Speaker 1: just when you said, you that moment, you rarely think
- 14:22Speaker 1: of it. M hm. I remember that when I went
- 14:33Speaker 1: to Keith's funeral, I just couldn't stay in the thought
- 14:39Speaker 1: of seeing him in the casket and I want to
- 14:47Speaker 1: and the overwhelming smell of carnations, which to this day
- 14:52Speaker 1: makes me sick. I can't stand it. I almost feeling
- 14:56Speaker 1: just talking about it. It's almost like when you smell
- 15:00Speaker 1: lot of gas fumes at the gas station. The thought
- 15:03Speaker 1: smelling those carnations. Oh oh, Flora, oh oh. I never
- 15:11Speaker 1: go with a florist. I can't stand that smell. I
- 15:13Speaker 1: can't either, But neither went in. And I remember I
- 15:18Speaker 1: just instinctively glanced into some kind of anti room. I
- 15:22Speaker 1: glanced off to the right, and I saw his casket
- 15:25Speaker 1: and I saw just above the edge the top of
- 15:28Speaker 1: his profile, and I passed out. I passed out and oh,
- 15:35Speaker 1: I just know, you can't really even remember past that,
- 15:41Speaker 1: he said, all of a sudden, it was we were
- 15:43Speaker 1: out at the we were at the funeral, that's you know.
- 15:47Speaker 1: And I can remember the pastor God help him, poor
- 15:52Speaker 1: thing kept calling me Mary and yeah, I don't I
- 15:57Speaker 1: don't really care. It's okay, I get it, but I
- 16:01Speaker 1: just remember that and it was so unreal. And I've
- 16:07Speaker 1: told you this before, off Mike, that for about a
- 16:15Speaker 1: year or two before kise murter, and I don't know
- 16:19Speaker 1: how long after his murder, I have huge chunks of
- 16:22Speaker 1: time I can't remember. People will come up and go, hey,
- 16:27Speaker 1: do you remember something. I'm like, no, I don't remember.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Tell me, tell me what happened. I've done the same
- 16:34Speaker 1: thing that's happened to me too. And when at Chucky's funeral,
- 16:40Speaker 1: my husband and um, they decided, you know, to have
- 16:45Speaker 1: a clothes casket because they didn't want me to. They just,
- 16:51Speaker 1: you know, they just couldn't make Chucky look like Chucky
- 16:54Speaker 1: used to and um, so it was closed and we
- 16:59Speaker 1: just had his picture on the on the coffin and
- 17:03Speaker 1: that was it, you know what. Trying to not that
- 17:09Speaker 1: it matters, but trying to figure out what is the
- 17:13Speaker 1: worst thing. Is the worst thing when you find out
- 17:17Speaker 1: the person is gone, or that horrible time after where
- 17:23Speaker 1: you're practically disabled and there's nothing you can do, Like
- 17:30Speaker 1: those days and those nights and those hours that turn
- 17:34Speaker 1: into weeks that turn into months and you're just completely
- 17:39Speaker 1: disabled with pain and there's nothing nobody can help you.
- 17:44Speaker 1: You can't get away from it. You wake up in
- 17:47Speaker 1: the morning and for just about maybe two seconds you
- 17:50Speaker 1: it seems normal, and then you remember and there's no
- 17:55Speaker 1: way around it. No pill, no short no there's no shortcup,
- 18:01Speaker 1: no pit, no medicine, no shrink, no nothing. It's no person,
- 18:07Speaker 1: no words, no person, no nothing. You are engulfed and
- 18:11Speaker 1: wrapped around and cocoons and a pain that is indescribable,
- 18:17Speaker 1: and there's you wake up. You every breath is so hard.
- 18:22Speaker 1: I just wanted to die. I just wanted to die.
- 18:26Speaker 1: I'm just imagining you in that heat and you've dragged
- 18:30Speaker 1: your a little child along behind you running and then
- 18:36Speaker 1: everybody is around chucky and you're kind of off to
- 18:39Speaker 1: the side by that fence. What in the world was
- 18:44Speaker 1: happening in your mind? But then there's the funeral, when
- 18:49Speaker 1: when did you realize Chucky was not hit by a car.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Chucky didn't fall off his bike, he didn't hit his head.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Somebody shot him. Somebody shot him and killed your child.
- 19:04Speaker 1: And the broad daylight at close range. I mean, you know,
- 19:08Speaker 1: people were saying, well, maybe a stray bullet. Will know
- 19:11Speaker 1: it wasn't a stray bullet. Somebody put a gun to
- 19:14Speaker 1: the back of his head and shot him. And that
- 19:18Speaker 1: is the fact. That is the only thing that truly
- 19:21Speaker 1: I know. And I just, you know, as soon as
- 19:24Speaker 1: we went back to the house after we left the scene,
- 19:27Speaker 1: you know, and all the police and the sheriff, and
- 19:29Speaker 1: you know, everyone's just bombarding you with you know, questions,
- 19:33Speaker 1: you know, and I'm I'm just trying to say he
- 19:37Speaker 1: he was shot, you know, I'm just I can't even
- 19:41Speaker 1: go there. It's just I can't go there. It was
- 19:44Speaker 1: just so overwhelming. I can't even hardly put into words
- 19:49Speaker 1: how overwhelmed all of this is at that moment in time.
- 19:54Speaker 1: And then I just like my hands starts shaking, and
- 19:57Speaker 1: then my legs starts shaking, and my whole body shaking,
- 20:00Speaker 1: and then I start going into shock, and so I
- 20:03Speaker 1: have to take me to the emergency room, and I'm
- 20:07Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's just this nightmare of things
- 20:11Speaker 1: that are happening, and so much is happening in that
- 20:14Speaker 1: short period of time, like from eight to midnight with me.
- 20:18Speaker 1: It's just trying to know that he's not coming back,
- 20:23Speaker 1: and somebody killed him. Somebody wanted him dead, and I
- 20:27Speaker 1: can't fathom it. Who would want him dead? Did you

- 21:57Speaker 1: his mike. They shot him while he's still on his
- 22:03Speaker 1: bike or standing beside his bike, and in his liege
- 22:10Speaker 1: and in his little hand was still a pack of
- 22:14Speaker 1: bubble gum, a pack of bubble gum. So he had
- 22:17Speaker 1: made it into the store, just like he told mommy.
- 22:21Speaker 1: He got his little bubble gum and somebody gunned this
- 22:26Speaker 1: little boy down. Now what do we know? What have
- 22:31Speaker 1: you been told, Cathy? What have you learned about a
- 22:35Speaker 1: potential suspect? What I know is he was seen talking
- 22:43Speaker 1: two someone in a light colored car, and that's all
- 22:48Speaker 1: I know. Had to be a man, okay, so it's
- 22:52Speaker 1: a man. Had to you had to be a man.
- 22:54Speaker 1: And there are ages I don't know. Um I thought there,
- 23:04Speaker 1: I thought it was narrowed down to a white male. Well, yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 1: a white male both likely to the driver and a
- 23:14Speaker 1: passenger is from what I know, um kind of us
- 23:22Speaker 1: acne scarred space rough a rough looking you know, dark hair,
- 23:28Speaker 1: white hair, wasn't it dark hair, light hair? Okay, I
- 23:31Speaker 1: think right hair was the passenger. I'm not sure about
- 23:35Speaker 1: the driver. So the guy with light hair, a white
- 23:39Speaker 1: male with light colored hair, is he the one that
- 23:43Speaker 1: had the acne scars? Yes, yes, well somebody had to
- 23:47Speaker 1: get fairly close to him to know he had acne scars. Yeah,
- 23:52Speaker 1: I mean it lead out at the moment. I'm not
- 23:56Speaker 1: sure how they got that and how they got that,
- 24:00Speaker 1: I'm not sure. And any any remote idea on a
- 24:05Speaker 1: making model. No, just like color, you know, is all
- 24:12Speaker 1: I've Saint Kathy about a potential motive. I've always thought
- 24:17Speaker 1: somebody tried to lure him in the car and he
- 24:20Speaker 1: wouldn't get in, and they shot him because he never
- 24:23Speaker 1: got in anybody's car. No, No, And he wasn't you know,
- 24:28Speaker 1: he didn't hang out with any bad kids, you know,
- 24:31Speaker 1: he was he was like into the sports, and you know,
- 24:36Speaker 1: he was very well liked, you know, so he never
- 24:40Speaker 1: had arguments with anyone that I know of. Kathy, you
- 24:43Speaker 1: know what you're doing about you, You know what you're
- 24:45Speaker 1: doing right now. You're defending him to me. You are
- 24:48Speaker 1: defending him to me like you're telling me he didn't
- 24:51Speaker 1: do anything wrong. This wasn't his fault. Hey, you don't
- 24:55Speaker 1: have to do that to me. But as long as
- 24:57Speaker 1: we're a subject, this boy, this little boy, had never
- 25:02Speaker 1: been in a day's trouble in his life. He made
- 25:04Speaker 1: good grades. He was the star of the little league game,
- 25:09Speaker 1: the little league team. He practiced all the time. He
- 25:12Speaker 1: never missed a game. That was his world, that was
- 25:16Speaker 1: as it should be, was mommy, his little brother coming home,
- 25:22Speaker 1: playing little bicycle, his bicycle. Oh, he loved the bicycle.
- 25:26Speaker 1: That was his world. And it's not today. What it's
- 25:33Speaker 1: funny that you say that about defending him and I
- 25:37Speaker 1: do that, Nancy. It's almost everyone I speak to, and I,
- 25:41Speaker 1: after all these years, I still do that, is it?
- 25:45Speaker 1: I don't know why I do that, because you know what,
- 25:48Speaker 1: you know what, people I don't know why people wrote this.
- 25:51Speaker 1: And it was out there on the internet that Keith
- 25:55Speaker 1: was at a liquor store and got gunned down. And
- 26:00Speaker 1: then somebody else wrote that Keith was a cop, and
- 26:03Speaker 1: then somebody else wrote that I made the whole thing
- 26:06Speaker 1: up that I don't even know. Uh, I don't even
- 26:10Speaker 1: know what all they've written does horrible, horrible things. I
- 26:14Speaker 1: don't even know why. So, you know what, it's maybe
- 26:18Speaker 1: you're not so far off the mark by feeling like
- 26:20Speaker 1: you have to be defensive because people will say or think, Now,
- 26:25Speaker 1: wait a minute, wasn't there some incident you talk? Oh,
- 26:27Speaker 1: by the way, I recall um people witnesses were questioned
- 26:35Speaker 1: and it is believed the part was driving a white
- 26:39Speaker 1: Oldsmobile cutlass or buick. Right, Yes, I forgot that. You're right? Okay,
- 26:46Speaker 1: remember the mate. Now let me ask you this. What
- 26:49Speaker 1: could tell me about the incident where a woman walked
- 26:55Speaker 1: up to you? What you trying on clothes? Or weren't
- 26:59Speaker 1: you in a store and made comments to you about
- 27:04Speaker 1: Chucky's death? Oh it was I worked in? Yes, yes, yes,
- 27:11Speaker 1: you know? Okay, okay, I you know what? You know what?
- 27:15Speaker 1: I just can gotten crossed in my head. Someone who
- 27:18Speaker 1: came up to Sharon Roacha, who is Lacy Lacy Peterson's
- 27:23Speaker 1: mom at some she was trying to get an outfit,
- 27:29Speaker 1: and someone came up to her the store and started
- 27:32Speaker 1: asking her all these questions about Lacey's death. And you know,
- 27:38Speaker 1: people don't get it. I mean, when you can be
- 27:40Speaker 1: having a perfectly fine day and suddenly somebody asked you
- 27:44Speaker 1: about the murder, and it's like getting cold water thrown
- 27:47Speaker 1: on your face, and it can just throw me into
- 27:50Speaker 1: a depression. It takes me days to get out of it.
- 27:52Speaker 1: I can't afford to do that anymore. With having two children,
- 27:55Speaker 1: they don't need to depressed mommy. They need a mommy
- 27:58Speaker 1: who was upbeat and ready to roll with them, not somebody,
- 28:02Speaker 1: you know, disabled with So that's what got in my head.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Now what happened? This was you weren't at a doctor's office.
- 28:11Speaker 1: What happened? And um, the doctor sent me a patient.
- 28:15Speaker 1: I would pre up patients for surgery, kind of go
- 28:19Speaker 1: over everything with them. And she saw Chucky's picture on
- 28:22Speaker 1: my desk, and you know, she said, oh, are you
- 28:25Speaker 1: check his mother? And I went yes, and you know,
- 28:28Speaker 1: she kind of looked at his picture and she knew
- 28:31Speaker 1: the history that he was murdered, and she told me,
- 28:33Speaker 1: she says, you know, sometimes when parents don't take care
- 28:36Speaker 1: of their children. God calls them home. Well, she hit
- 28:41Speaker 1: something so deep inside of me that I had felt,
- 28:45Speaker 1: you know, like I wasn't a good mother. I let
- 28:48Speaker 1: him go, I gave him permission to go, you know,
- 28:51Speaker 1: and it just resignated to me. I just had a
- 28:54Speaker 1: step out of the room. I went to my doctor
- 28:56Speaker 1: and I was hysterical. It I was just there. I
- 29:00Speaker 1: was hysterical, hysterical. Okay, you are just making me tell
- 29:06Speaker 1: my story more than your story. But I have to
- 29:09Speaker 1: tell you what happened. Okay. So this is years after
- 29:15Speaker 1: Keith Smarter. Okay, I was living this what happened? Okay.
- 29:21Speaker 1: So I finished underground and went to law school, got
- 29:25Speaker 1: my law degree, started prosecuting um. After ten years, my
- 29:31Speaker 1: elected d A retired and I had originally turned down
- 29:35Speaker 1: an offered to go to court TV in New York.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I called him back and went, hey, I have a job.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Here I go. I'm on my way. And I had
- 29:43Speaker 1: come home for a weekend to Atlanta, and still at
- 29:49Speaker 1: this time, even after all these years, I would hardly
- 29:52Speaker 1: ever go out. I just the sight and the sounds
- 29:55Speaker 1: of everybody having a good time, I don't know, just
- 29:58Speaker 1: rubbed me the wrong way after case murder. It just
- 30:01Speaker 1: didn't seem right to me. I know that's abnormal, but
- 30:04Speaker 1: just the way it was is. And so my now husband, uh,
- 30:10Speaker 1: and my girlfriend, who was defense is a defense lawyer
- 30:15Speaker 1: in town um Renee. The three of us went out
- 30:20Speaker 1: after my show at night to go get dinner. It
- 30:25Speaker 1: was late. It's like nine thirty or ten o'clock at night,
- 30:27Speaker 1: exase that's what time I would get off work. And
- 30:30Speaker 1: we went to this hole in the wall that had
- 30:33Speaker 1: Cajun food and I'm sitting there and I the blue.
- 30:37Speaker 1: This has gotta be twenty fifteen years later, some guy
- 30:43Speaker 1: walked up to me and said, I was one of
- 30:49Speaker 1: case good friends, and I can't believe you're out with
- 30:53Speaker 1: a guy having a good time. I mean, right now, Cathy,
- 31:00Speaker 1: if you're in the studio with me, and my mouth
- 31:02Speaker 1: is fellow, but I'm like, I didn't even know what
- 31:05Speaker 1: to say. Did you feel like you've just been hit?
- 31:09Speaker 1: And yes, I feel it right now, I feel like
- 31:14Speaker 1: you and to my to save my neck. Well, of course,
- 31:18Speaker 1: it thrown me into a depression, which resignated like that's true.
- 31:23Speaker 1: He's right, and you know, lived alone in New York
- 31:26Speaker 1: and I would come home from work at night and
- 31:28Speaker 1: just sit there in this quiet apartment and just it
- 31:33Speaker 1: was like a palpable, tangible presence in the room, that
- 31:38Speaker 1: overwhelming grief. And I don't know the guy's name. If
- 31:43Speaker 1: he bit me in the neck right now, I wouldn't
- 31:45Speaker 1: know him. But I remember that moment, and it was awful, awful.
- 31:49Speaker 1: What is wrong with people? I don't I don't know.
- 31:55Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, but it puts it takes
- 31:58Speaker 1: you back. I mean, what do you say to the
- 32:00Speaker 1: wary that you've done. I couldn't say. I just I
- 32:04Speaker 1: didn't either. I didn't say anything. Nobody believes it. I
- 32:08Speaker 1: just was so I know me too. They said, why
- 32:11Speaker 1: didn't you? I said I. I was punched in this.
- 32:14Speaker 1: I couldn't speak because she hit something way deep down
- 32:19Speaker 1: inside of me that I believe too, you know. And
- 32:24Speaker 1: I was crushed. I was crushed in it. A little
- 32:27Speaker 1: bit of recovery I had made put me way back,
- 32:30Speaker 1: you know, and like I was starting all over again.
- 32:33Speaker 1: And it was so hurtful. But people say hurtful things
- 32:38Speaker 1: to you. But you were a bad mother because you
- 32:43Speaker 1: get some bubble gum, you know, tonight time, and you
- 32:47Speaker 1: let him go, okay, so the other day, but see
- 32:49Speaker 1: what people don't get in the summertime in the south,
- 32:52Speaker 1: seven thirty eight o'clock it's just like noon outside. Yeah.
- 32:57Speaker 1: And it wasn't something new that he did, you know,
- 33:01Speaker 1: It wasn't you know? The other day, Kathy, I was
- 33:06Speaker 1: and where was? I was? In cost Code okay, because
- 33:09Speaker 1: the children like a particular type a fish filet okay.
- 33:13Speaker 1: So I went in there trying not to get the
- 33:17Speaker 1: free samples because they're really anyway, So I go straight
- 33:21Speaker 1: and I left them in the car with my mother, okay,
- 33:25Speaker 1: And she is about eighties six, and she was nodding
- 33:28Speaker 1: off when I got out of the car, and they
- 33:32Speaker 1: were on their iPads looking up, playing candy crush or something.
- 33:36Speaker 1: And it hit me while I was in there in
- 33:39Speaker 1: the frozen food section, what if somebody grabs that car
- 33:43Speaker 1: and takes off. My mother couldn't fight them off. And
- 33:46Speaker 1: here I am in here in the fish division. I
- 33:51Speaker 1: almost ran out of Costco. I mean, there's no running
- 33:55Speaker 1: out because you have to show your car and this
- 33:58Speaker 1: and that blah blah. And I thought I would jump
- 34:01Speaker 1: out of my skin before I could get When I
- 34:04Speaker 1: got into that parking lot. I had put all. You know,
- 34:06Speaker 1: they don't give you a bag, so I have to
- 34:08Speaker 1: put everything in the box. I was trotting, if you
- 34:12Speaker 1: can see, with this big box in my arms, running
- 34:15Speaker 1: across the parking lot to get to the car. I mean,
- 34:17Speaker 1: it never goes away. This is just last week. This
- 34:21Speaker 1: was last week that I thought somebody would get the
- 34:23Speaker 1: twins and heart down. Yeah, because you know what can happen.
- 34:27Speaker 1: I mean, we have experienced that. We know it can happen.
- 34:31Speaker 1: It's not a story someone tells us. And I believe
- 34:34Speaker 1: that's why we have this tangible fear with us that
- 34:40Speaker 1: it can happen again. You know it can happen again.
- 34:44Speaker 1: I'm gonna put out the tip line again. Four seven
- 34:46Speaker 1: eight five four two two zero eight five four seven
- 34:52Speaker 1: eight five four two to zero eight five or four
- 34:57Speaker 1: seven eight five four two two zero eight zero four
- 35:02Speaker 1: seven eight five four two zero eight zero. Chucky Mack
- 35:10Speaker 1: was murdered. This beautiful little boy on his bicycle was
- 35:15Speaker 1: murdered many many years ago. What was the year, Kathy Man?
- 35:22Speaker 1: Thirty one years ago? He would be forty five. He
- 35:25Speaker 1: just had his birthday that almost when he said he
- 35:31Speaker 1: just had his birthday that almost made my stomach did
- 35:35Speaker 1: a flip because the twins birthday is in November and
- 35:39Speaker 1: we were just talking about what are we going to
- 35:43Speaker 1: do for your birthday? What are we gonna do because
- 35:46Speaker 1: we talked about it all year after, you know, about
- 35:48Speaker 1: two weeks after their birthday, okay, maybe two days after
- 35:51Speaker 1: the birthday party, we start talking about what are we
- 35:53Speaker 1: gonna do next year? We're gonna have for your birthdays year?
- 35:56Speaker 1: And when you said, he just had his birthday, you know,
- 36:00Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, you know, what would he be now
- 36:02Speaker 1: and what would he be doing? And you know, I'd
- 36:05Speaker 1: probably have grandchildren and you know, but he's only thirteen
- 36:09Speaker 1: to me. And I know what I wanted to ask you, Nancy,
- 36:14Speaker 1: how do you what? I guess you know, after all
- 36:18Speaker 1: this time, and it's his murder is not solved, and
- 36:21Speaker 1: what if it isn't solved? I mean, do I what
- 36:25Speaker 1: do I do? Do I let it go? Or do
- 36:28Speaker 1: I keep trying to put his story out all the time?
- 36:32Speaker 1: I mean, what do I do? Do I let it go?
- 36:36Speaker 1: Or you know what I did without trying to figure
- 36:41Speaker 1: out I'm supposed to be the expert and know the answer.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I'm like, oh lord, what what what's the right answer
- 36:47Speaker 1: for what she just asked me. I mean, I don't
- 36:51Speaker 1: I don't think think I know the answer. I think
- 36:54Speaker 1: I do have the answer because I vacillate, like for
- 36:59Speaker 1: to day. I almost didn't want to even call you
- 37:02Speaker 1: and bring the whole thing up again. But I want
- 37:04Speaker 1: the answer. I want the truth about Chucky. And I
- 37:08Speaker 1: think that everybody go ahead and mock me if you
- 37:12Speaker 1: want to. I really think that the Lord will provide
- 37:19Speaker 1: what you need and what we'll get you through the day.
- 37:25Speaker 1: For instance, I've been so excited about our serious radio show,
- 37:30Speaker 1: you know, and I thought, oh, I want to talk
- 37:35Speaker 1: about Chucky. Mark. I want to do this again. I
- 37:39Speaker 1: want the story out there, I want the tip line
- 37:41Speaker 1: out there. I want Kathy with me. And I remember,
- 37:47Speaker 1: after talking about Chucky on Dr oz or Wendy Williams,
- 37:54Speaker 1: Fate has a funny way. It's not Fate, it's it's
- 37:59Speaker 1: it's the Lord has a funny way of working, right.
- 38:03Speaker 1: So it's in that vein, you know, As I always say,
- 38:07Speaker 1: when you don't know a horse, look at his track record.
- 38:09Speaker 1: If you don't know what's going to happen, look at
- 38:11Speaker 1: what has happened. Because that's a blueprint. Please explain how
- 38:18Speaker 1: you and I got connected. Wow. Well, like I said,
- 38:23Speaker 1: I worked in this doctor's office and it was around
- 38:26Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and I was talking to some of my friends saying,
- 38:30Speaker 1: you know, I need I have to I don't know
- 38:33Speaker 1: what to do anymore about Chucky. I need to get
- 38:35Speaker 1: his story out. If only I could get in touch
- 38:38Speaker 1: with Nancy Gray your name, I just had this always
- 38:42Speaker 1: I've got to get in touch with you, but I
- 38:44Speaker 1: don't know how to get in touch with her. And
- 38:46Speaker 1: we had um, a drug rep that came to see
- 38:49Speaker 1: us all the time. I loved him so much and he,
- 38:52Speaker 1: you know, he'd stopped and talk to me, and you know,
- 38:54Speaker 1: asked him what he was going to do for the
- 38:56Speaker 1: holidays and everything, and he says, well, I'm going to
- 38:58Speaker 1: go to New York to see my sister. And I said,
- 39:01Speaker 1: well is your sister and he said, Nancy Grace. I thought,
- 39:06Speaker 1: I can't, I can't breathe, and I said, do you
- 39:09Speaker 1: have a moment. I've got to tell you my story.
- 39:12Speaker 1: And I told him the story of Chucky. And he said,
- 39:16Speaker 1: you get me everything you have and I'm taking it
- 39:19Speaker 1: to Nancy. And I, you know, I thought God, you've
- 39:22Speaker 1: answered a prayer. I finally, you know, you have answered
- 39:25Speaker 1: one of my prayers. I'm gonna be able to talk
- 39:27Speaker 1: to her. She's going to help me. She is going
- 39:30Speaker 1: to help me. And sure enough if you called me
- 39:34Speaker 1: and Thanksgiving, you called me and you said you were
- 39:37Speaker 1: going to help me, and I got something. You have
- 39:41Speaker 1: my people no matter where I am, and I thank
- 39:47Speaker 1: God for it. Tell you the truth. People ask me,
- 39:50Speaker 1: does it ever bother you? People always coming up to
- 39:52Speaker 1: you asking for help and want this and that. I'm like, no, No,
- 39:56Speaker 1: I welcome in. I want to hear their stories. And
- 40:02Speaker 1: I remember, I remembered the moment my brother called me.
- 40:05Speaker 1: I was coming up. I had done Larry King that night.
- 40:09Speaker 1: I had worked all day, stayed at Court TV and
- 40:12Speaker 1: gone and done Larry Now how did it go? Then
- 40:17Speaker 1: I went and did h l N across town and
- 40:21Speaker 1: I had done Larry King, which was a real blessing
- 40:25Speaker 1: to me. And I was on the way home and Matt,
- 40:29Speaker 1: my brother, Matt Mackie, as I call him, I saw
- 40:32Speaker 1: his number pop up and answered the phone and he
- 40:37Speaker 1: started talking and I'm like, Okay, here's the story and
- 40:39Speaker 1: here's another story. And so he wants a men to
- 40:42Speaker 1: do something? What is it? What can I do? And
- 40:44Speaker 1: I was listening and he kept talking and talking and
- 40:47Speaker 1: I never said a word, and all of a sudden,
- 40:49Speaker 1: I come all the way across town and was at
- 40:52Speaker 1: my stop and we were still talking about Chucky and you,
- 40:57Speaker 1: and I'm like, don't say another word. I'm on it,
- 41:01Speaker 1: and I hung the phone up and I immediately it
- 41:04Speaker 1: is late by then called my producer, executive producer Dean.
- 41:09Speaker 1: I'm like, we gotta do this, We got to do this.
- 41:12Speaker 1: And that was it. Yeah, you did it, like right away.
- 41:17Speaker 1: I just knew in my soul that if I could
- 41:19Speaker 1: get if there's somehow I could get in touch with you,
- 41:22Speaker 1: you would know my story. You would listen, and of
- 41:26Speaker 1: all these years that no one has ever helped me,
- 41:29Speaker 1: you would. I always believe it. I know you're not
- 41:32Speaker 1: gonna believe this, Kathy, but I figured something out. And
- 41:39Speaker 1: you know what it took for me to figure it out.
- 41:41Speaker 1: Many many years I was writing my book Eleventh Victim
- 41:47Speaker 1: and the Heroine and Eleventh Victim as Haley Dean. She's
- 41:51Speaker 1: a much better person than me. Let me tell you
- 41:53Speaker 1: that right now. But she loves to solve crimes, and
- 41:57Speaker 1: she loves two when cases put the bag guy away
- 42:02Speaker 1: because Hally not me, of course. Somehow, you know, every
- 42:09Speaker 1: time she puts a band aid on somebody else, it's
- 42:12Speaker 1: like putting a band aid on her. I mean, I
- 42:16Speaker 1: get so much joy. I guess is the only word
- 42:22Speaker 1: I know. It's not really joy. But I'm getting to
