- 0:32Speaker 1: get into today's stories. On April ninth, twenty fifteen, residents
- 0:48Speaker 1: of the tiny farming community Fairdale, Illinois, woke up to
- 0:52Speaker 1: heavy rains outside in an ominous forecast. Severe thunderstorms were
- 0:56Speaker 1: going to persist all day and then at night there
- 0:59Speaker 1: was a chance of a tornado. Meteorologists were telling residents
- 1:02Speaker 1: of Fairdale that if you can, you should evacuate because
- 1:05Speaker 1: it's not worth sticking around for. But if you're going
- 1:08Speaker 1: to ride out the storm, make sure you've taken the
- 1:10Speaker 1: necessary precautions. And make sure you have a plan for
- 1:13Speaker 1: how to get to a shelter if the storm gets
- 1:15Speaker 1: really bad. That morning, some forecasters were saying this tornado
- 1:20Speaker 1: could prove to be one of the biggest in Illinois history.
- 1:23Speaker 1: But most of the one hundred and fifty two Fairdale
- 1:26Speaker 1: residents had lived here their whole lives, and they had
- 1:28Speaker 1: seen bad storms before, even tornadoes, and they had ridden
- 1:31Speaker 1: them out before. How could this one be any different?
- 1:34Speaker 1: You know, most of the time, the worst that happened
- 1:36Speaker 1: was maybe a power line comes down and you lose
- 1:38Speaker 1: power for the day. But unlike previous storms, this one
- 1:42Speaker 1: was getting worse and worse by the minute, and by
- 1:45Speaker 1: six pm that night, forecasters were no longer theorizing that
- 1:49Speaker 1: this could be a huge tornado. They were outright pleading
- 1:52Speaker 1: with Fairdeale residents to evacuate while you still can't. But
- 1:55Speaker 1: despite these warnings, the vast majority of Fairdale residents stayed
- 1:59Speaker 1: pos They were committed to riding the storm out. By
- 2:02Speaker 1: seven PM, meteorologists were saying, this tornado is imminent and
- 2:06Speaker 1: it looks as big or bigger than the last major
- 2:09Speaker 1: tornado that came through Illinois that killed eight people and
- 2:13Speaker 1: leveled an entire town. This tornado tonight is going to
- 2:17Speaker 1: kill people. Just fifteen minutes later, at seven point fifteen,
- 2:20Speaker 1: the tornado finally touched down right outside of Fairdale. It
- 2:24Speaker 1: was this massive, almost mile wide tornado with over two
- 2:28Speaker 1: hundred mile an hour winds, and unlike other tornadoes of
- 2:32Speaker 1: that size that typically move at about thirty miles an hour,
- 2:35Speaker 1: this one was traveling on land at about fifteen miles
- 2:38Speaker 1: an hour, meaning it would be sitting over the areas.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It was devastating for longer amounts of time, making it
- 2:45Speaker 1: even worse than some of the worst predictions that meteorologists
- 2:49Speaker 1: had for this tornado. Fifteen minutes later, at seven thirty pm,
- 2:53Speaker 1: eighty four year old Fairdale resident Clem Schultz and his wife,
- 2:56Speaker 1: Jerry Schultz. They were at home because they had decided
- 2:59Speaker 1: to the storm. As Clem is sitting in the living
- 3:02Speaker 1: room watching the weather channel, kind of waiting for the
- 3:05Speaker 1: last possible second to go into their basement, he hears
- 3:08Speaker 1: his wife yell out from the kitchen to come in
- 3:10Speaker 1: here and look at this. So Clem goes into the
- 3:12Speaker 1: kitchen and she's pointing out the back window, and he
- 3:14Speaker 1: looks out and he sees this massive tornado coming right
- 3:18Speaker 1: at them. It's less than a mile away, and it
- 3:20Speaker 1: is way bigger than he thought it was going to be.
- 3:22Speaker 1: But from their perspective, because the tornado was spinning counterclockwise,
- 3:27Speaker 1: it kind of looked like it was spinning away from
- 3:29Speaker 1: town into this empty field. And Clem says to his wife, Jerry,
- 3:32Speaker 1: you know what, it looks like it's gonna miss us,
- 3:34Speaker 1: but we're probably gonna lose power. So I'm gonna go
- 3:37Speaker 1: up into the attic and get some lanterns ready. So
- 3:39Speaker 1: Jerry stays in the kitchen. Clem goes up into the attic,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and as he's fishing to get out the lanterns, he
- 3:44Speaker 1: hears what sounds like a freight train barreling through town.
- 3:47Speaker 1: And he had this little window at the edge of
- 3:49Speaker 1: his attic, so he goes over and he looks out
- 3:51Speaker 1: and the tornado had not veered off into the open field.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It had continued straight towards his house and it was
- 3:59Speaker 1: ripping off roof was right in front of him, and
- 4:01Speaker 1: he figured, I don't have enough time to go down
- 4:04Speaker 1: into the basement. I have no time to do anything.
- 4:06Speaker 1: So he takes out his phone and he begins recording
- 4:55Speaker 1: Clem's house, along with all the others in that video, collapsed,
- 4:59Speaker 1: and initially Clem thought he had died because it went
- 5:01Speaker 1: totally quiet and it was totally dark, and he actually
- 5:04Speaker 1: sat out loud, am I dead. But it was the
- 5:06Speaker 1: pain in his back from a crushed vertebrae that told him, no,
- 5:10Speaker 1: you survived. And he begins to kind of pull himself
- 5:12Speaker 1: out of the rubble, and before long a neighbor is
- 5:14Speaker 1: pulling him out, and as soon as he's out of
- 5:17Speaker 1: the rubble of his house, he looks around and his
- 5:19Speaker 1: whole community is pretty much gone. And as he's standing
- 5:22Speaker 1: there kind of bewildered, his neighbor says, Clem, don't look down,
- 5:27Speaker 1: and Clem says why, and his neighbor says, because your
- 5:30Speaker 1: wife is under you and she's dead. When the dust
- 5:32Speaker 1: had finally settled, not only had Clem's wife been killed,
- 5:35Speaker 1: but Clem's neighbor had been killed as well, because the
- 5:37Speaker 1: tornado went directly through their two houses. That video that
- 5:42Speaker 1: Clem shot is now used to educate people on how
- 5:45Speaker 1: dangerous tornadoes really are and how anytime a tornado is
- 5:49Speaker 1: coming through your area, never go outside to film it.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Seek shelter On Sunday, February twelfth, twenty seventeen, Kail Williams
- 6:00Speaker 1: was over her best friend Liberty German's house for a sleepover.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Abby and Libby were thirteen and fourteen, respectively. That night,
- 6:08Speaker 1: as they're laying in bed, they were looking out the
- 6:10Speaker 1: window hoping they saw snowflakes come down, because there was
- 6:13Speaker 1: apparently this huge storm that was going to roll through
- 6:16Speaker 1: the next day, and they were hoping that if it did,
- 6:18Speaker 1: school would be canceled the next day. But when they
- 6:21Speaker 1: woke up the next morning, it hadn't even snowed. However,
- 6:24Speaker 1: they found out that in Delphi, Indiana, where they lived,
- 6:27Speaker 1: school had been canceled preemptively in anticipation of this big
- 6:31Speaker 1: storm that never really amounted to anything. So the girls
- 6:34Speaker 1: got a free day off where they could actually go
- 6:36Speaker 1: outside and enjoy it. So the girls start talking about
- 6:39Speaker 1: how they're going to spend their extra day off and
- 6:41Speaker 1: Libby suggests, well, why don't we go check out the
- 6:44Speaker 1: man on Highbridge. It was this abandoned bridge that crossed
- 6:46Speaker 1: over the stream and a lot of their classmates would
- 6:49Speaker 1: take pictures on it and post it to their social media,
- 6:51Speaker 1: and the girls figured this is a great day to
- 6:53Speaker 1: go do that. So Libby asked her grandmother, Becky, who
- 6:56Speaker 1: was her primary caretaker, if it would be okay if
- 6:58Speaker 1: they went for a hike over near this bridge. Becky
- 7:01Speaker 1: gives them permission, but with the caveat that they would
- 7:03Speaker 1: find their own ride there and back. So Libby convinces
- 7:07Speaker 1: her older sister Kelsey, to give them a ride there,
- 7:09Speaker 1: and Libby speaks to her father, Derek, and he says
- 7:12Speaker 1: he can pick them up, but he'd only be able
- 7:15Speaker 1: to pick them up at a very specific time, which
- 7:17Speaker 1: would only give the girls a couple of hours at
- 7:18Speaker 1: the bridge. But they thought that was fine and that
- 7:20Speaker 1: was plenty of time. So a couple hours later, at
- 7:23Speaker 1: about one point thirty in the afternoon, Kelsey drops off
- 7:25Speaker 1: the two girls at the start of the trail that's
- 7:27Speaker 1: going to bring them to this bridge. We know the
- 7:29Speaker 1: girls made it to the bridge because at two oh
- 7:32Speaker 1: seven pm, Libby posted a picture to her social media
- 7:35Speaker 1: of Abby walking across the bridge. At three eleven pm,
- 7:39Speaker 1: Libby's father, Derek texted her and said, Hey, I'm going
- 7:42Speaker 1: to be there in a minute. Just want to make
- 7:43Speaker 1: sure you guys are there to meet me, and she
- 7:45Speaker 1: didn't text Derek back, and Derek would later say that
- 7:47Speaker 1: that was pretty unusual for her. At three, fourteen pm,
- 7:51Speaker 1: Derek arrives at the meeting spot and the girls are
- 7:53Speaker 1: nowhere to be found, and so Derek tries calling. There's
- 7:56Speaker 1: no answer. He texts his daughter, no response, and so
- 7:59Speaker 1: he ends up calling Becky Libby's grandmother, his mother and says, hey,
- 8:03Speaker 1: did the girls contact you and change plans about where
- 8:06Speaker 1: I was picking them up or when? And Becky said, no,
- 8:09Speaker 1: I haven't heard from them. They said they'd be there
- 8:11Speaker 1: at three. They should be there now. I haven't heard
- 8:13Speaker 1: from them, And Derek says he can't get in touch
- 8:16Speaker 1: with them. So for the next ten minutes, Becky and
- 8:18Speaker 1: her husband, Mike, Libby's grandfather, just try calling over and
- 8:21Speaker 1: over and over again to the girls, but nothing's going through.
- 8:24Speaker 1: They can't get them to respond to text messages. So
- 8:27Speaker 1: Mike leaves and meets up with Derek in the parking
- 8:30Speaker 1: lot and the two of them begin walking the trail
- 8:32Speaker 1: to try to find these girls. At this point, the
- 8:34Speaker 1: family's not suspecting foul play. They're thinking, you know, the
- 8:37Speaker 1: girl's probably got lost, or they lost track of time,
- 8:40Speaker 1: or their phones just ran out of batteries, or you know,
- 8:42Speaker 1: maybe they did get hurt and they can't move, but
- 8:44Speaker 1: it's probably not that serious. You know, they're creating scenarios
- 8:47Speaker 1: in their head to rationalize what's happening. But by the
- 8:50Speaker 1: time the sun went down at about five pm and
- 8:53Speaker 1: there was still no sign of these girls, they ended
- 8:55Speaker 1: up calling the police and officially reporting the girls missing.
- 8:58Speaker 1: By six pm that night, there is this massive search
- 9:01Speaker 1: combing the trail looking for these girls. But all night
- 9:03Speaker 1: they're looking everywhere with hundreds of searchers, and there's no
- 9:06Speaker 1: sign of them. The following day, on Tuesday, February fourteenth,
- 9:10Speaker 1: one of the searchers was about a half mile away
- 9:12Speaker 1: from the bridge where the girls have been taking those pictures,
- 9:15Speaker 1: and they discover the girl's bodies right next to a creek.
- 9:18Speaker 1: The police didn't release their cause of death, however, they said,
- 9:21Speaker 1: without a doubt, this is a homicide because apparently the
- 9:24Speaker 1: scene was incredibly disturbing and had at least two or
- 9:28Speaker 1: three signatures. Signatures are things done to the victims that
- 9:32Speaker 1: are above and beyond what is required to end their life,
- 9:36Speaker 1: things like writing on the victims or their body position,
- 9:39Speaker 1: or much much worse. And usually you only see signatures
- 9:44Speaker 1: when you're dealing with a serial killer. Three days after
- 9:46Speaker 1: the bodies were discovered, police were able to extract some
- 9:50Speaker 1: video from Libby's phone. It turns out when Libby was
- 9:53Speaker 1: taking those pictures of Abbey on the bridge and had
- 9:56Speaker 1: just posted it to social media, apparently this guy had
- 10:00Speaker 1: come on the bridge and Libby must have sensed danger
- 10:03Speaker 1: and she began filming him. Now, there is apparently a
- 10:07Speaker 1: video that starts from the bridge and lasts all the
- 10:10Speaker 1: way through the girl's final moments, but the police would
- 10:13Speaker 1: release a very small snippet of this recording because it
- 10:17Speaker 1: showed who they believe is the killer walking towards them
- 10:20Speaker 1: with his hands in his pockets, looking down, and he
- 10:22Speaker 1: says to them, guys down the hill. Despite thousands of
- 10:34Speaker 1: tips pouring in as soon as this video was made public,
- 10:37Speaker 1: they still don't know who this guy is. No arrests
- 10:39Speaker 1: have been made, and the case remains unsolved. Before The
- 10:47Speaker 1: Bachelorette pitted thirty men against each other to win one
- 10:50Speaker 1: woman's heart, Americans watched another show about random strangers competing
- 10:55Speaker 1: for a mate. It was called The Dating Game. Starting
- 10:57Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty five, this reality show featured a woman
- 11:01Speaker 1: asking three men questions without seeing their faces, and based
- 11:04Speaker 1: on their answers, at the end of the show, she
- 11:07Speaker 1: would choose one to go on a date with. On
- 11:09Speaker 1: the surface, the September thirteenth, nineteen seventy eight showing of
- 11:13Speaker 1: the Dating Game looks like every other episode with lots
- 11:16Speaker 1: of unsubtle innuendo, But this episode would go down in
- 11:20Speaker 1: history as a one of a kind, and not in
- 11:22Speaker 1: a good way. At the end of this particular show,
- 11:25Speaker 1: it was time for the bachelorette, Cheryl Bradshaw, to make
- 11:29Speaker 1: her decision, and she would choose bachelor number one, who
- 11:32Speaker 1: would turn out to be this tall, good looking, long
- 11:35Speaker 1: haired guy whose name was Rodney. Rodney comes around the
- 11:38Speaker 1: partition and they see each other for the first time,
- 11:41Speaker 1: and everybody laughs and they hug, and the show looks
- 11:44Speaker 1: like every other show, and on stage, Rodney looks like
- 11:48Speaker 1: every other contestant that's ever been on the show. But
- 11:50Speaker 1: after the show ended and Cheryl and Rodney went backstage
- 11:54Speaker 1: and actually began having a real conversation that was not
- 11:57Speaker 1: being filmed, Cheryl would say that Rodney completely changed. He
- 12:02Speaker 1: became incredibly creepy and was saying things like I always
- 12:06Speaker 1: get the girl, and then at some point he says, hey,
- 12:08Speaker 1: you should come out with me tonight. It'll be a
- 12:10Speaker 1: date you'll never forget, and she turns to him and
- 12:13Speaker 1: just says no thanks. This would turn out to be
- 12:16Speaker 1: a really wise decision, because Rodney was a horrible, horrible person.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Had the show done a background check on Rodney, they
- 12:24Speaker 1: would have discovered that he assaulted an eight year old
- 12:27Speaker 1: and went to jail for three years for it and
- 12:30Speaker 1: was currently on parole. But even if they had done
- 12:33Speaker 1: a background check on Rodney, the check would not have
- 12:36Speaker 1: discovered what he did at night. Rodney was shamelessly cocky
- 12:41Speaker 1: and self confident, and unlike a lot of men, he
- 12:45Speaker 1: had no issue walking right up to any woman anywhere
- 12:49Speaker 1: and flirting with her, and he used that to his advantage.
- 12:52Speaker 1: He would go up to women in bars and he
- 12:54Speaker 1: would convince them that he was a fashion photographer and
- 12:57Speaker 1: that they were so beautiful. Would you come back to
- 12:59Speaker 1: my apartment and do a photo shoot with me? And,
- 13:02Speaker 1: just like Cheryl on the Dating Show, these women were
- 13:05Speaker 1: immediately kind of charmed by him and would say yes.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Once they got back to his apartment, he would shut
- 13:11Speaker 1: and lock the door and then become that creepy guy
- 13:14Speaker 1: that Cheryl saw backstage. But unlike Cheryl, who at the
- 13:18Speaker 1: time she saw this just said I'm not interested and
- 13:21Speaker 1: was able to leave, these women were trapped and then
- 13:24Speaker 1: whether they wanted to or not, they would do a
- 13:26Speaker 1: photo shoot with him, and then he would strangle them
- 13:29Speaker 1: to death. Because Rodney Alcala was not your typical Dating
- 13:32Speaker 1: Game contestant, he was a serial killer who by the
- 13:35Speaker 1: time he stepped foot on that show and was chosen
- 13:38Speaker 1: by Cheryl Bradford to win the game, he had already
- 13:41Speaker 1: killed four people, and over a two year period he
- 13:45Speaker 1: killed as many as one hundred and thirty people, which,
- 13:47Speaker 1: if you're doing the math, is over those two years
- 13:50Speaker 1: he was killing at least one person a week. Al
- 13:53Speaker 1: Kala was finally apprehended and he was sentenced to death.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Here are some highlights from Rodney Alcala's episode.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Of The Dating Game, and we're gonna start by having
- 14:01Speaker 2: them say hello to you and see how they shall.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Number one, would you say hello to Cheryl? Please, We're

- 14:20Speaker 1: is at night a nighttime? Why do you say that
- 14:24Speaker 1: because that's the only time there is the only time.

- 14:29Speaker 2: Well, they're okay, but nighttimes when it really gets good.
