  Speaker 1: In early twenty fourteen, a sheriff's department in a little
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: town in Oregon conducted a search of a huge, twenty
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: acre farm tucked away inside of a forest. A local
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: man had gone missing recently, and this farm was one
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of the few places they knew he had been. Very
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Quickly into this search, a deputy was walking around the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: outside of the barn when he saw something strange on
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the ground. At first, he had no idea what it was,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: but as he got closer, it became very obvious. Not
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: only would this discovery become front page news all across
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the country, but it would also lead investigators to discover
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: something much more sinister going on in that little town.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But before we get into that story, if you're a
• 0:41

• 1:17
  Speaker 1: By most people's standards, Susan Monica's life had been pretty good.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: She had a small but very close group of friends,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: she had a great job working as an engineer, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: she lived in one of the most exciting cities in
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the world, San Francisco, California. But Susan was not happy.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Moving to the big city was not so much a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: choice as it was a product of life and circumstance.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Deep down, Susan had always been someone who preferred peace
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and quiet and being alone, things that were in rare
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: supply in a big city like San Francisco. Many nights
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: after work, Susan would come home to her apartment and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: she would sit there and dream about moving away from
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the city and living off the grid, somewhere on a farm,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, raise her own food and be totally self sufficient,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: away from everybody else in the world. And then, one day,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one, when Susan was forty three years old,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: she made that dream a reality. That year, she wound
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: up purchasing a twenty acre farm located in a forest
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in a little town in Oregon called Weimer. However, this
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: farm was really not a farm. There was nothing on it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There was no house for Susan to live in. There
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was no barn for her animals or tools. There was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: no running water, no electricity, no septic system. It was
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: just pure Oregonian wilderness. But to Susan it was perfect.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The property kept her far away from other people, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: she liked the idea of having to literally build her
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: own farm. After all, she was an engineer by trade,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: so she actually knew how to build buildings efficiently and safely.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And she was a big, strong, sturdy woman who was
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not afraid of manual labor. So when Susan finally arrived
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in Weimer and made her way up the winding dirt
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: road through the forest and arrived in front of her
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: property and looked out at the vast, rugged landscape for
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the first time, she was filled with a rush of excitement.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Even though there was nothing on her twenty acres, it
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: already felt like home. Over the next several months, Susan
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: would transform these twenty acres into a neat little farm,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: complete with a big barn and a shack for her
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to live in, and a few animal pens for livestock. However,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: after the farm was built, Susan realized that building the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: farm was actually not the hard part. The hard part
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was maintaining the farm, going out there every day and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: doing all of her chores, feeding all the animals, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: doing all the different projects she had in mind. It
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was exhausting, and so not long after the farm was complete,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Susan realized that as much as she wanted to be
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: totally alone out there, she had to set that aside
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and hire some help. And so Susan printed out all
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of these help wanted flyers and put them all over
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: town and Wimer, and before long people began making their
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: way up to her property to inquire about the role.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Most of these applicants were people who struggled to find
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: work elsewhere, either because they lived a sort of transient lifestyle,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: bouncing around from place to place so no one was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ready to hire them long term, or because they had
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a criminal record and just straight up could not get
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a job. But Susan didn't care about either of those things.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: All she cared about was the people she hired would
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: work hard, and they would respect the peaceful, calm atmosphere
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: she was fostering on her farm. Basically, do the work
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and leave me alone, and over the next twenty years,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Susan would find dozens of people who were able to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: do just that. Most of them would work for Susan
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: only for a short period of time. Others would stick
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: around for a little bit longer. But eventually all of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Susan's workers kind of rotated pretty quickly and moved on
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to other things. And when that happened, Susan would simply
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: put up more help wanted flyers in town and hire
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: more people. And in all the twenty years that Susan
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: had been hiring these temporary workers at her farm, after
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they did move on and wet somewhere else, Susan never
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: heard of about them again. However, that was about to change.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: On January first, twenty fourteen, Susan, who was sixty six
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: years old by this point, was outside of her shack
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: out on her driveway when she happened to look up
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and see a car coming up her road. Now, remember
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: she lives in the middle of nowhere. No one comes
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: out to see her, so this is a very rare event,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and so Susan is totally keyed in on this car.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: In this car, they pulled into her driveway and then
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: out of the car popped three young people. It was
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: two young men and one young woman, and before Susan
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: could even ask them who they were or why they
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: were here, they were telling her. They said they were
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: looking for their father, Robert Haney, who at one point
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: had told them he was working on Susan's farm in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: exchange for a little cash, and also Susan was letting
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: him park his camper on her property and he was
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: living in that camper. The kids said their father always
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: checked in with them at least once every couple of months,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: but they had just gone this really long stretch without
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hearing from him, and since he didn't have a cell
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: phone and no permanent address, they had no real way
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: of getting in touch with him, and so they were
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: out there looking for him to make sure he was okay.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And so they asked, Susan, do you remember our dad Robert,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And if so, do you know where he is. Even
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: though this whole situation was totally surprising for Susan because
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: she almost never got visitors, so that alone was kind
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of jarring for her, but when she heard the kids
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: say their dad's name, Robert Haney, she immediately knew who
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that was. Susan told them that she had hired their
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: father the previous spring to help build a structure on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: her farm. And initially Robert was really nice to have
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: around the farm. He worked really hard, he kept to himself,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: he was quiet, and he had a dog that was
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: really friendly and loving. But in August of the previous year,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so five months into Robert's employment on Susan's farm, Susan
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: would tell them that their dad totally changed. He started
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: drinking really heavily and not really working very much, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: spending a lot of the day just kind of ranting
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and raving outside of his camper about how he wanted
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to exact his revenge on someone. Susan would eventually find
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: out that what Robert was talking about is apparently one
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of his kids had been assaulted and he felt very
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: guilty that he had not been there to protect his child.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And so the way Robert was handling this guilt was
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: by drinking and thinking about getting his revenge on the attacker. Now,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: while Susan did understand why Robert felt the way he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: did and why he was kind of acting the way
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he was, it didn't change the fact that Robert's behavior
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: had become very disruptive on her farm. And the one
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: thing Susan really wanted was peace and quiet, and so
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: she decided she would have to go confront Robert about
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: his behavior and potentially fire him if he couldn't find
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a way to calm down. But before Susan ever had
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to do that, Robert one day just walked right up
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to her shack. He handed her an envelope filled with cash,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and he asked Susan if she wouldn't mind looking after
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: his dog for a while. And Susan was so taken
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: aback by his complete change in behavior and this request
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that she just took the envelope and said, okay, I'll
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: look after your dog, and then Robert nodded as thank you,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he turned around and he walked away from her. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: then a few moments later, Susan's standing there with the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: envelope in hand, watching as Robert is climbing into some
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: white car that had just pulled up in front of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the property. She didn't know who was in the car
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: with him, and then the car turned around and drove
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: out of sight. Susan told the kids that that had
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: happened back in September, so about four months ago, and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: since he left, she had not heard from him, despite
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the fact she still had his dog, and she told
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the kids that a lot of Robert's stuff was still
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in his camper. Susan brought the kids over to the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: side of her property where Robert's camper was, and when
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they went inside, sure enough, all their father's things were
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: all over the place, but the one item that immediately
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: stood out to them was their father's tool belt. They
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: knew their father was a traveling handyman. That was how
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he made his living, and so it begged the question,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: why would he leave his tool belt here if he
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: knew he was going to be gone for several months potentially,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: it didn't make any sense. After leaving Robert's camper, the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: kids thanked Susan and asked her to please be in
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: touch if she learned anything else about their dad, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: she said she would, and then the kids got back
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in their car and they began driving south towards the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Jackson County Sheriff's office. When they got there, they asked
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to file a missing person report for their dad. However,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they learned very quickly that it was going to be
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: very challenging to locate their dad because their dad lived
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this transient lifestyle with no cell phone, he had no
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: permanent address, he had nothing that could really be traced.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But the investigators agreed with Robert's children that their dad's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: absence was a big concern, given the fact that his
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: last interactions with Susan had consisted of him drinking very
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: heavily and talking about going and getting his revenge on
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: his child's attacker. And so the sheriff and the deputies
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: were very concerned that that was exactly what Robert had done.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: He had gone out and potentially murdered someone and now
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was in hiding. So they asked Robert's kids if they
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: could think of absolutely anything that could possibly allow investigators
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to track down Robert, and at some point one of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the kids said, oh, what about my dad's eb card.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: EBT cards, or Electronic Benefit Transfer cards, are like debit
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: cards for state welfare services. You can use the cards
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to buy things like groceries, and the cards are definitely traceable.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: A few days later, when Robert's EBT card trace came back,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: investigators saw the card had been used just one month
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: earlier in a Walmart located about thirty minutes southwest of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Susan's farm. Now, this trace obviously didn't tell investigators where
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Robert was right now or what kind of condition Robert
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: was in, but they had no other leads to operate on,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: so they decided they would go to the Walmart and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: see what they could find. When they got there, the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: investigators were led to the back room of the building
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: where they were able to review the security footage from
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the previous month when Robert was supposedly there with his
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: EBT card. But after reviewing hours and hours and hours
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of footage, the investigators never saw Robert on camera. However,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: they did see Susan on camera, and unbelievably, she was
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the one using Robert's EBT card, and so obviously this
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was very suspicious, and right away the investigators left the Walmart,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: went back to their office and began the process of
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: getting a search warrant to search Susan's farm. Last night,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I decided I wanted to treat my family to a
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: nice homemade dessert, and so I headed to the grocery
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: store and I picked up a broth of spoiled milk
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and a hammock of fermented herring, and then I headed
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: home to blend the two together to create a nice
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: frofe milkshake. But Right before I hit blend, I got
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a notification on my phone that said I had just
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: spent two thousand dollars on swear at awalrisk dot com.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Now I love to swear at a walrisk as much
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: as the next guy, but that website became so addicting
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: for me. I was swearing it for fifty wallrye a night,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and so I had to cancel that months ago. And
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: so I knew that two thousand dollars charge could not
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: be mine. Someone had stolen my credit card, But when
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I pulled out my twenty pound wallet, my credit card
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: was still there. Well, it turns out the dementor that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: was at the grocery store with me, who bumped into
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: me as I was scooping up my spoiled milk, he
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: was just bumping into me. He was using his RFID
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: scanner and scanning my wallet through my jenes and ripping
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: off my credit card information. Yes, that's a real thing.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: People literally can scan your cards with a scanner through
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: your pocket. Needless to say, after I discovered this, I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: canceled my credit card and I got a ridge wallet.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Ridgewallet has a sleek and durable design. They can hold
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: up to twelve cards, and most importantly, they are built
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: with RFID blocking technology. So if you're like me and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you're tired of dementors stealing your credit card information with
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: RFIDs scanners, then you need to get a Ridge wallet too.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Get the best offer for Ridge with my link Ridge
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: dot com slash mister ballin and save up to forty
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: percent through December twenty second. Again that's Ridge dot com
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: slash mister ballin. A Few days later, on January tenth,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the sheriff and his deputies arrived at Susan's property, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: when they pulled onto her driveway, Susan came outside to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: greet them. When she asked them what's going on, they
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: told her, hey, we're here to search your property in
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: connection with Robert Hainey's disappearance. And before Susan could ask
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: any more questions, the sheriff said to her, hold on,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: just turn around, let's go back inside. I need to
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: talk to you privately. And so Susan, who was very
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: shocked by this, just said okay, and she turned around
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and led the sheriff into her house while the other
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: deputies fanned out across the property to begin this big search.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Once inside, of Susan's house. They sat down in her
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: kitchen and right away the sheriff says to Susan, Okay,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I have you on camera using Robert's EBT card. I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: know you stole it, so you need to tell me
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: where Robert is right now, or it's going to get
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a whole lot worse for you. And as soon as
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he said this, Susan's look of shock on her face
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: quickly turned into a look of kind of relief. It
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: was like suddenly she understood what was going on here,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and she said to the sheriff, no, I didn't steal
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: his EBT card. He gave it to me along with
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: an envelope full of cash when he left four months ago,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and he told me to use it to buy dog
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: food for his dog that I'm looking after. And since
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Robert had been gone for all these months, she had
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: run out of cash to pay for the dog food
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and now was using the EBT card. Susan also added
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that if she had just stolen the card from Robert,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: she wouldn't be able to use it because it requires
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a pin number, and Robert gave her the pin number.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That's how she was able to use it. The sheriff
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: was not totally sold on Susan's story, and so he
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: continued to ask more questions, trying to trip Susan up
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: about how she came to acquire this card, but Susan
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: was very firm that Robert had given her the card
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and that was it. And so after several minutes, the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: sheriff realized that Susan was likely telling the truth, which
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: meant the EBT card angle was likely a dead end
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and they would have to call off the search. But
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: as the sheriff was standing up to leave the kitchen
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and leave the property all together, a deputy from outside
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: came running into the kitchen and, without saying a word,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: just bent down and whispered something into the Sheriff's ear.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And as the sheriff is listening to this deputy, his
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: face is contorting in disgust. He can't believe what he's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: being told. And after the deputy stands up and leaves
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the kitchen, the sheriff takes a deep breath and then
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: looks at Susan and says, ma'am, you're gonna have to
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: come with us back at the station. A now very
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: flustered Susan was led into a small interrogation room where
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: she sat down looking totally anxious. She's looking around wondering
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: what's going on, And then the sheriff walked into the room,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: immediately hit record on the camera and then looked at
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Susan and says, has anyone died on your property? The
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: story that Susan would tell the sheriff that day in
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the interrogation room was so completely unexpected and horrific it
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: would make headlines all across the country. Before Susan began
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: this story, she told the sheriff that everything she had
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: said about Robert Haney's disappearance had been the true. However,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: she had left one little detail out. After Robert had
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: handed Susan that envelope full of cash and the EBT
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: card and then climbed into that stranger's car and driven away.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: After that, Robert had actually come back to her farm,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and recently, Susan said she discovered his return when one
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: morning she got up and she went outside to go
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: feed her animals. When she looked over at the pig
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: pen and saw all the pigs who would normally be
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: laying down and lounging around at that time of the day,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they were all up, and they had converged in one
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: portion of the pig pen, and they had kind of
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: formed a circle around something on the ground, as if
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: they were all trying to look at something on the ground. Now,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Susan said, this was totally uncharacteristic, so obviously something weird
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: was going on, and so Susan dropped her food and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: rushed over to the fence. She climbed into the pigpen,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and as she got closer and closer to all these pigs,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: she realized they weren't just looking at something on the ground.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: They were eating something on the ground. And so Susan
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: goes right up to this ring of pigs and she
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: begins pulling them aside, and then right in the middle
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: on the ground is Robert. He was laying on his
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: back and his insides had all been torn out. It
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: was like the pigs were disemboweling him. And the most
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: shocking thing is Robert was still alive. He was moving
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: his arm and groaning. Susan tried to pull the pigs
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: off of Robert, but she said they kept coming back
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and really aggressively continued to eat Robert. It was like
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: they were in this feeding frenzy. And so Susan said,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought about lifting him up and moving him,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: but Robert was practically split in two, and she felt
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: like if she tried to move him, that would kill
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: him anyways, And so Susan said she did the thing
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that she thought was right at the time. She left
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the pig pen, went into the barn, got a shotgun,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: ran back to the pig pen, raised the weapon, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: fired it into Robert. Susan told the sheriff that this
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: was purely an act of mercy. She was ending his suffering.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: After Robert was dead, Susan said, she just left the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: pig pen, and then three days later she went back
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: into the pig pen with bags and collected the little
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: bits of Robert that had not been eaten by her pigs.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And then she took those bags of remains and chucked
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: them into her barn on top of the trash pile.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: But clearly Robert's remains had not remained in the barn,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because the thing that deputy had whispered into the Sheriff's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: ear when the sheriff was talking to Susan in the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: kitchen was, Sir, we found the leg outside. It was
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Robert's leg. And it was found not inside of the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: barn in the trash pile, but out in the middle
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: of her property, just out in the open. Susan, when
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: confronted with that information, suggested that, you know, maybe a
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: wild animal had gone into the barn, got hold of
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it and dragged it off. The sheriff didn't even know
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: what follow up questions to ask, and so he just said, well,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: why didn't you call nine one one when you first
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: saw Robert? I mean, maybe we could have saved him,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: or at least after he was dead. Why didn't you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: tell someone? Susan would say that the reason she didn't
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: tell anyone is she was afraid that if word got
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: out about what her pigs had done, then her pigs
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: would be euthanized and she would lose a major revenue
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: stream because she sold her pigs meat in town, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: she said even if her pigs were not euthanized, she
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: was worried people in town would not want to buy
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: her pigs meat after they learned her pigs were attacking
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and eating humans. Susan would tell the sheriff exactly where
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: they could find the bags that contained Robert's remains, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: she even said she would take a polygraph test to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: show she was now telling the whole truth. But when
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: she actually sat down to take the polygraph test, she
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: kept fidgeting and coughing and doing these really dramatic size
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and it was causing the test operator to get really
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: inaccurate readings. And so when this first polygraph test was over,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the results were inconclusive, and so the investigators made Susan
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: take another test, but again she continued to fidget and yawn,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and so finally the investigators in the room watching this
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: happen just called off the test. And when they did,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: they said to Susan, you know, hey, we're going to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: search your farm. If there is anything on your farm
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: that you have not told us about, you're going to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: be in serious trouble because we're going to find it.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: At this point, Susan kind of stopped fidgeting and she
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: looked up at the investigators, and after a long pause,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: she reached out across the table and grabbed a piece
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of paper and a pen. She pulled it back and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: she began drawing something, and after a few seconds it
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: became pretty clear she was drawing a map of her farm.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: And after the map was all drawn, out. She drew
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: a big X in the middle of it and then
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: slid the map back across the table to the investigators
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and she said, if you go to that X, you'll
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: find Steven. And the investigators are like, who's Steven, We're
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: talking about Robert, what are you talking about. Well, it
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: would turn out Robert was not the only farm hand
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to die on Susan's property. In twenty twelve, about a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: year before Susan hired Robert, she hired another man named
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Steven Dellasino, and according to Susan, Stephen was a lot
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: like Robert. He was really easy to get along with,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: he was quiet, he worked hard, but at some point,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Susan said, they had a big falling out. Susan said
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: she started to suspect that Stephen was stealing her guns
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in her barn, and so she went to confront him,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and during this confrontation they got into this big fight,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and Susan said she didn't really remember all the details
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of what happened next, but at some point during this fight,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a gun went off and then Stephen fell to the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: ground in the middle of the pig pen with his
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: head bleeding, and all of Susan's pigs suddenly swarmed him
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and began eating him. These stunned investigators again asked Susan, Okay,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: if that really happened the way you said it did,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: why didn't you call nine one one if this was
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: like an accident, and Susan would say again that her
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: big fear was her pigs would either be euthanized or
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: word would get out that her pigs were eating people,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and the people in town would not want to buy
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: her pigs meat because of that. In the end, as
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: far fetched as Susan's stories were about what happened to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Robert Haney and Stephen Delasino, there was never any evidence
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that actually contradicted her claims, and so, as a result,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: when when Susan went on trial for murdering Robert and Stephen,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: it came down to whether or not the jury believed Susan,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and they didn't, not at all. They believed that Susan
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: was completely lying and that in reality, Susan, who was
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: known to have a very quick temper, shot Stephen and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: shot Robert very much on purpose, and then threw them
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: into her pig pen. We can only hope they were
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: dead before her pigs began eating them. On April twenty first,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, more than a year after Robert's children had
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: reported him missing, Susan was convicted of two counts of
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: murder for Robert and for Stephen, and two counts of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: abusing a corpse. She was sentenced to a minimum of
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: fifty years in prison. While in custody, Susan would be
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: overheard saying there were seventeen other bodies buried on her property. However,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: when the police went out there and searched again very extensively,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: they never found any other remains. So that's going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: do it. If you got something out of the sepis
