  Speaker 1: This podcast is intended for mature audiences. Listener discretion is advised.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Sitting right next to the main highway through Gilmer, Texas,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is an old cinder block building nestled in a leafy
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: stand of hardwood trees. The building used to be a cafe,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: but it shut down a long time ago, probably before
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: most of us were even born. Now, Don Holman, a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: former suspect in the disappearance of Kelly Wilson, lives in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that same old cafe with his step son Raymond. This summer,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I pulled up there on a hot and sticky afternoon.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Don was outside rifling through the trunk of his car.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: He lifted up a couple of grocery bags from Dollar General.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: In't a hand, Nah, I think I got a hill cuddy. Okay,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'll tink a.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Cookie I get. Let me get in there and we'll have.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: A folk sir.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: You know I don't say I don't say no thanks
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to too many cookies.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Folks who knew Don pretty well say he's never been
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: able to move on from the Kelly Wilson case. If
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you get him started, it's all he talks about. I mean,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he was falsely accused of kidnapping and killing a girl
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in a Satanic ritual in the woods outside of town,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: which is the kind of stigma that's hard to shake.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Gilmer residents who knew Don all their life, people who
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: should have known better, really believed he was capable of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: killing Kelly, of killing and eating babies. That's got to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: take a toll. Don and I had been talking for
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: I want to show you something if you don't mind
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: me showings, and I'm gonna show you this.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: I will come up here.
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: He'll show you up.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: He led me down a hallway in his house to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a bedroom filled with paper about to crack.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Or I want to show you some of the stuff
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: that I've done through the years.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: That's my stuff, all about the case?
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Yep, h well do you think that is files?
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: Paperwork case?
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: You see this right here, that's full of papers.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Now, if I'd done something wrong, I'll be going.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I'm getting this ship out of here.
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: I'm burning everything.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: I go to Florida, but I ain't to why I
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: feel I want. I don't want revenge. I want we
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: call it justice.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Justice.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: But uh, what old Doc Holliday said, you know he goes, No,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: let's get it right. He said he doesn't. He doesn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: want justice, in wants reparation or something.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, there's retribution.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: I want them to have to. I want them to say,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: if we guys said Don listen, I'm sorry.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: I ain't want to hurt him.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: But if you're sorry, didn't you tell him I thought
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: he was guilty and and I'm.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Sorry for it?
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Don't I need some justice after talking and writing all
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: this stuff, I need some justice. But it don't mean
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna get justice.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Don's ex, remember her name is Tammy, was also wrongly
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: accused of being in the Gilbert Devil cult. She says
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Don's obsession with justice or an apology at the very least,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: is ultimately what drove a wedge between them.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Me and Don just kind of drew apart.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: And you know, Don dealt with all the stuff one way.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Don didn't drink.
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: Don didn't do any of that stuff ever, but he
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: started drinking. And to me, out of everybody, it affected
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: Don the worst. I mean, to me, it's made him crazy.
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: He would not quit talking about it for at least
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: ten y That's why quit hanging out and talking to them,
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: Because it's all you want done.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: It's time to move on. It's not going to change.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: We're not going to get any money out.
• 4:11
  Speaker 9: Of it, for sure, and you just got to start
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: living life and dealing with what God gave us.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: To deal with, you know, and be happy that we're
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: not in prison.
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: I mean, that's I mean for real, you know, we
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: could be dead right now or on death row. That's
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: that's serious that I see all these innocent people going
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: through that crap around the same era, and I'm like, wow,
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: we got off by the skin.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Of our teeth. It was more of a miracle than
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I even realized.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Despite their differences, Donna Tammy have remained friends.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: We're still cordial. I've got three other kids since.
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: You know, I got remarried and and I bring my
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: kids over.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: He's met my kids and we talk and we get along. Okay,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: we're not enemies or anything. I know right now that
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: if I needed something, Don would give it to me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I could ask him and he would help me. He's sick,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: or I try.
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: To call him on his birthday, say hey, it don't
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: take long for him get on my nerves and I'm like, okay.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I'm out. I keep telling people. He wouldn't like this
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: man was really was he? Please tell me who's got worse.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Tammy has been more lucky, putting some emotional distance between
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: herself and the Kelly Wilson ordeal. But just like don
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: she can't move on. She'd like to. She wants to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: put it all behind her. That's not how the world works.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: After all that this happened, I got remarried and I
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: just run.
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: And made myself forget about all that crowd. And then
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: the craziest thing is after I get a divorce, which
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: was ten years.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Ago, I didn't realize how.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: Hard it was going to be for me to even
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: I can't even get a job, you know, a decent job.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Time I get a decent job, they go do a
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: background check. I mean, and I don't get it. I
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: know for a fact it's because of this. I don't
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: even have a car. I haven't had a car in
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: ten years. I mean, I have to walk to work.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I have to get a job close enough to my
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: house just to walk to work and back. It's because
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I can't afford nothing. I can't go to a doctor
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: because I don't have no money for a doctor.
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: I've had nice job opportunities, and they'll say, well, we're
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: going to go to a background check and never hear
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: from them.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: This is crazy.
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: This should not even be on my record because I'm
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: struggling now just to barely make it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: I had a.
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: Great opportunity to go work in a cafeteria at the school.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, to me, that was a great job, you know.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would love to be at working a
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: cafeteria at a school.
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: There was one where they wanted me to take care
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: of a bunch of elderly people at an old folks home.
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: That was a great opportunity. Turned down on that anyway,
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: I quit trying. I mean, I don't even The only
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: jobs I can get are.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Kid jobs, you know what I mean, Like McDonald's.
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: I can get a job at any fast food restaurant,
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: but I can't get a job anywhere else.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a cook at a gas station right now.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And it's just miserable. I just you know, I
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: want a decent job where I can live. I can't
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: even take care of myself right now, and it's not.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Right bas It's like I'm never going to get this
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: off my back.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: But no one has had a tougher time than Raymond.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He was a little boy when his foster parent coerced
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: him into accusing his own mom and stepdad of sacrificing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Kelly Wilson to the devil.
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: Raymond's the one you want to talk to about all
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: the I mean, he's got the story.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'll give Raymond your number and let me tell you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: Raymond, that poor baby, I'm not saying he's crazy, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: you can tell this is suspected him.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: One time was going down the old three hundred that's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a highway in Gilmer.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: And he busted out crying. He said, I'm so sorry.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: He said, don I'm so sorry that I said somebody.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: But he said they were hurting me. I said, Raymond,
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: I'm not mad you. I'm very proud of you. He said, well,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: they were hurting me. He said they told me that
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: y'all was not in jail, y'all was with Luther, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: that y'all didn't even care nothing about him. And I said, no,
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: that's not true, Raymond, we was in jail. He said,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't know that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: Though, I'd have been so traumatizing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: It was.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: And man, if you want to get him r all up,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: if he gets talking about it, I had to quiet
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: it down. He's gonna throw still and everything. But he
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: said he'll he'll get mad, he said, son of a bitches.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: He said, yeah, what did they do to me over there?
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: They left me over there and getting abused and everything
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: that ain't righting, and they ain't gonna do nothing for
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: nobody on and uh.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: Where is he?
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: He went?
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Probably off with his brother, uh fishing. But if you
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: get him to talking now, he's gonna be pretty radical.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: I'll try to.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Tell him, said Raymond, Now, don't go ape shits.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: But just because.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: He's not a mean guy.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at this house.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: He painted this house from me, and he can put
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: down flooring and everything. I mean, you look aware, look
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: at that he painted and everything. But when he goes
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: into one of them rages, he you think sometime he's
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: really for everybody else and he's kind of mad that
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: same people we.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Are who wouldn't be mad. The next time I came
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: by Don's place, Raymond was home. He seemed pretty guarded
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: at first.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm honest with you, I didn't even want to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: talk with you, like I really didn't, uh, Non asked me.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: The other day, he kind of got upset because I
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: told him. He said, hey, he wants to come and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: talk with you. I told him I don't have anything
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to say to him.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Then Raymond started talking and he couldn't stop from imperative entertainment.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I'm wes Ferguson. This is Deviltown. This is chapter seven
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the Wreckage. To understand what happened in Gilmer, you need
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to understand that all this was going on right in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the middle of the Satanic Panic, a time when fear
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of devil cults was sweeping the United States. It was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: basically a national witch hunt in the eighties and nineties,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: thousands of lurid cases from coast to coast of so
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: called satanic ritual abuse. And the crazy thing is there
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was almost no evidence for any of it. It took
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: three factors coming together to create the perfect Satan storm.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: For one thing, people were finally taking child abuse seriously.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Child abuse was a real problem that had been ignored
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: far too long. Second was a revival in evangelical beliefs
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: with a big emphasis on the devil. He wasn't just
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a metaphor for the dark side of human nature. Satan
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: was real, and if you let your guard down, he
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: was coming for you. I remember when I was a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: little kid, a traveling expert gave a talk at our
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Baptist church. The next thing I knew, my he Man
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: toys were gone and I couldn't watch the care Bears anymore.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Those were the devil's playthings. The factor fueling the Satanic
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: panic was a controversial practice of psychotherapy called recovered memory therapy.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: The idea behind recovered memories was that you might have
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: experienced something so traumatic your brain won't even let you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: think about it. You push it down, leave it buried,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and the recesses of your subconscious To deal with these
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: awful memories, you have to dredge them up. Back in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: ninety four, after all the charges in the Kelly Wilson
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: case were dropped, the Texas Attorney General's Office brought in
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a child psychiatrist named Bruce D. Perry. His job sort
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: through the mess and try to figure out which of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the Kirk kids and Raymond had actually been abused and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: which hadn't. It wasn't so easy, and that leads us
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: back to holding therapy and Raymond. Despite all the courtroom
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: drama that had occurred with the release of the eight suspects,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: including James York Brown and Raymond's mom Tammy and his
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: stepdad Dawn. Raymond was still with his foster Barbara Bass.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: She must have truly believed she was helping Raymond to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: recover traumatic memories. Every time she held him down and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: dug her knuckles into his ribs until he told her
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: what she wanted to hear. The experience left Raymond so
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: scarred he was afraid to go around grown ups at all.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Then Barbara Bass drove him to Dallas to meet with
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: doctor Perry, the child psychiatrist.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't trust Bruce Perry at first. All adults in
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: my mind were out to get me. I was like,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you can't trust any of these people, Like they're all
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: gonna try to hurt us. They're lying, they're all like
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: something's wrong with them. They're talking about killing people and
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: eating them and devils and just like everything that I
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: was scared of.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Raymond didn't really have anything to say to doctor Perry,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: so they sat down and colored together. Days later, doctor
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Perry showed up at the Bass's place in East Texas.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Bruce would come by the house he got to where
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: he would and call me to his office to talk,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: and he would come out there to the Bass home
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: and visit with me. Well, he would always be like,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: on a special occasion, he'd always bring me something like
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: pair of boxing gloves or a basketball or baseball and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a glove and a mint, you know, play catch. He
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: would never ask me questions about my parents and stuff
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: like that. It was just on a you know, hey man,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I came back to see you. How are you doing today?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: So it took a while, but he told me, he said, Raymond,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: he said, when I met you, he said, I knew
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that you didn't trust He said, I knew that you
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: were scared of adults and didn't trust adults. He said,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't know why, because he didn't know I was
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: being amused by Barbara basket person. But he said, then
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I started seeing how Barbara acted when I was at
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the home, he said. I'd see her in my office.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I seen how she presented herself with the kids. You
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: know y'all, he said. But then when i'd pop up
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: in on y'all at the high he said, I've seen
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: how the other kids were reacted to her, how they
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: reacted to me.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Barbara had the Kirk kids and Raymond so trained up
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they would spout off the answers they thought adults wanted
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to hear. Doctor Perry came up with a clever way
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to get to the truth.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: And he basically tricked me. And what he did is
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: he brought a device that it was a heart monitor.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: It was like a vest and it had a watch,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: and he would wear the watch and it would tell
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: my heart rate. And he knew when I got nervous
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: about things, that my heart rate going up and down.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: So with Raymond wearing a heart monitor, doctor Perry asked
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: him questions about Kelly Wilson and the abuse allegations. As
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Raymond launched into the gruesome story he thought doctor Perry
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: wanted to hear. His heart rate stayed the same, He
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't traumatized at all. Then doctor Perry asked Raymond about
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Barbara Bass holding him down and rubbing his ribs. That's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: when Raymond's heart rate spiked. That's what had traumatized him,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: not a fanciful story about sacrificing babies.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: That was the day that I had told him that
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Barbara Bass, you know, about the holding technique and what
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: she had been doing, because until then I hadn't told
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: all these other doctors and you know, I'd only told
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: those foster parents that my first foster parents and and Gore,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: they were the only people that I had told that
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Barbara Bass was doing this. So I won't like, like
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: when they, you know, the Basses would take us out
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: with somebody else, I wouldn't tell them, like, hey man,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: this lady's like all of us kids are getting like
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: messed up by this lady. Like, you know, like because
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't know who was with who, like and I was,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I was terrified of Barbara Bass. Like I still don't
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: like wearing seat belts, I don't like hogs, I don't
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: like things around my rib cage like. But Bruce Perry, uh,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: he ended up being like somebody I hold high regards,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: like in my mind as far as respect because he uh,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: pretty much he's the reason that we got out of
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: that home.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Doctor Perry decided that Raymond needed a change of scenery.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: The whole time he'd been living in Barbara Bass's house,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Raymond had been with his little brother Luther.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: That was one of the last things my mom has
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: told me. She said, you know, you take care of
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: your baby brother, right, And so when I was at
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the Bass home, I was real over protective over eat
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: because he was still a baby. And so when the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: other kids would go to pick on him or went
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: and you know, let him have his way, I was
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: always you know, they're like real defensive over room. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: then one day they ended up they separated us. They
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: they took us to Tyler to go see my mom.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Point I won't allowed to see don anymore. And then uh,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: they told Barbara Bass they were taking all us kids
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to like Burger King, and then uh, they took me
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: and drove me out to Waco.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Te Raymond was taken to a Methodist children's home in Waco.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Met a kid there and he told me, he said, Raymond,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: he said, I don't know what all you've been through,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: you know, he said, but uh, once you get to
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: this home, you don't get to go home, like you know,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: like everybody here, like we don't get to see our
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: parents no more, like you know, we're here till we're eighteen,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: or we get adopted or something.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Believing he had no chance of being reunited with his mom, stepdad,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and baby brother, Raymond lost hope. He started getting in trouble.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: His caregivers sent him down the hill to a facility
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: for the bad kids.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: And when I was down down that hill they had
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: that was like for all the troublemakers in that home.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And I was the youngest one down there. They were
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: all like sixteen seventeen, most of them because they were
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the bad kids, you know. And uh so I picked
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: up a lot of bad habits from those kids. They're
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: huffing glue and all kinds of crazy stuff.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Raymond was just eight years old, and probably he struck
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: up a friendship with a boy of sixteen, and that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: kid had a plan to break out.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: He was like, look, he said, when we go to school,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: he said, uh, act up in school. And he said,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: they're gonna send us back here to our dorm rooms.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: He said, when they bring us to lunch, he said,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: we're gonna take our food and put it in bags.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: And he said, we're already gonna have our clothes packed up.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And he said, I know how to get us out
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: of here. He throw that fire exinger fro through the
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: window and we ran out and hid from him. It
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: was a big property and we ran into the night.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it got dark, and I think finally like
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: a security guard spotlighted me. I was along the fence line,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and I couldn't climb the chain link fence like I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: was eight years old, you know. And the kid I
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: was with jumped the border fence and took off. They
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: ended up catching him like an hour or two later.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: After Raymond's ill fated escape attempt, he was sent to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: another place, a boys ranch. Raymond had spent two years
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: in foster care. One day, an associate of Raymond's old friend,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: doctor Bruce Perry, the child's psychiatrist, came to visit Raymond
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: at the ranch.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Bill Baker came to see me one day and he said, Raymond,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: you want to come take a walk with me? And
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I said yeah, And I started walking with him and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: we were talking be out there. They had ponds and stuff,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and he stopped over there by the pond and he
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: looked at him and said, Raymond, I want to ask
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: you something. He said, I'm serious, and I said what
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: He said, You want to go home to your mama.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And I remember I started crying and I was like, yeah,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I want to go home. And it took him about
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a week or two later and they drove me here
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: to the Yamborie grounds here in Gilmer and dropped me
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: off with my mom. They were like, here you go,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: like and like all my aunts and uncles were there,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and that was the first time I'd seen them in years,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: so I was like, it was just like real exciting.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: And then uh, and then later on that night I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: got to you know, we stopped by here and Luther
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: and Don were here at the house, like Don's mother
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: was here, So that was like, it was a good day.
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: I got up Luther back first, and then Raymond was
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: like six months later, I guess, and they bought him
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: a bedroom suit apiece, and that was it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Sorry, we screwed up your kids. Our bad We screwed
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: your kids up. Here you go figure it out.
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: You won't be able to get a job anywhere, won't
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: be able to do anything with your life, but.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Here you go.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Although Don was there to greet Raymond on the day
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he got out of foster care, Don and Tammy were
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: no longer a couple. The family Raymond remembered was no more.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: After all this was over. It really wasn't over because
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: when I came home, my mom and Don had already
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: split up. Me and my mom bounced around. So just
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: give me a different outlook on things. Put me on
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: like a don't trust authority type thing when I was
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: in school. I remember when I came home. The day
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I came home, I can remember like telling myself, I
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: don't care whatever happens from this day forwards, because by
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the time I came home, I never thought I was
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: going to see them again. So when they brought me home,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: that was like it was like the best day, you
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like in my mind, I'm thinking,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I don't care. What if I never achieve a goal
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: in my life or graduate high school or you know
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the things that when you're a kid, like that's what
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: in your mind, you're like, Oh, when I grow up,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I wanted to be this. I felt like all my
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: prayers had minute. I got to come home, but it
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: really won't like come home and you think you're going
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: right back to your home, and I didn't. You know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: don took custody of Luther, my mom had custody of me.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: We were all together, but we won't together. And I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: remember like having to carry that guilt with me for
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: a while, which I already had feeling like I broke
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: my family apart and going through all.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: This despite their reassurances. Raymond couldn't shake the feeling that
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Donna and Tammy resented him for his role in their arrests.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: They were sitting there in jail. I'm sure they were
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: probably sitting there at times and thinking, what in the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: hell is Raymond talking about? Why would he why would
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: his little ass be out in there fucking lying on us? Like,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: because that's how I would feel. It gives you a
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: different perspective of it.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: I guess.
• 24:15
  Speaker 11: I just think that every kid in your shoes would
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: have done the same thing. I think that's just I mean,
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: it's happened again and again. You know what if you
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: for worse torture, you know, a kid, the kids eventually,
• 24:31
  Speaker 11: just every kid is going to tell the adult what
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: they want to hear.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: You know, it's not it's not you.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: It's all children and adults too. Adults when they were
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: waterboarding them guys over there at uh Anamo Bay, when
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: they were over there waterboarding them Muslims. Not all that
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: intel is a Bible like they know that. Like so
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: like it gives you a different view on things. Like
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I said, it's just a bit trust issue thing. So
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: from seven years old, my head's been full of double
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: worshiping killers, cannibalism, sexual misconduct. I was submerged in that
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: type of atmosphere. People they just want to go off
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and tell off what they hear. So trust is like
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: a big issue with me because i had trust broken
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: at a very early age, and I've seen how the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: system could be corrupt, and I think, you know, like
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: sometimes I think about it and I'm like, what if
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Barbara Bass really did have good intentions even though I
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: was their first hand and seeing the fucked up side
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: of it. But like in the back of my mind,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, maybe, you know, maybe it was just
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: something that kind of like, you know, one thing led
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: to another, led to another, lad to another.
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: It was this chain of events, and when he first
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: came home from foster care, he had a love for her.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they call it stockson.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: That's Raymond's mom, Tammy, talking about his conflicted feelings for
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Barbara Bass. Stockholm syndrome is where hostages form emotional bonds
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: with their captors.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: You know, I'd get so angry, you know, but I
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: knew it was his faults, and I just I don't
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: know how long it took it took him to get
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: over that, But you know, maybe a year or so
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: he got you know, the hatred of them started coming
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: out little by little, and.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Then part of me goes, well, what if it was
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: all like some kind of big scam. You think about
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: every scenario. When there's a question mark and you don't
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: know the answer, you start putting anything in there for
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: an answer, to see what fits. Affects everything I'm uh,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the way I interact with people, just everything I'm really
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: It's affected my life a lot. I don't I don't
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: care for strangers. I like I like being around big
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: like crowds, but I didn't finish high school. Driving down
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: the street going to work, somebody on the side of
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the street stranded, I don't want to stop. I don't
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: want to be that person to involve myself. I want
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: to stop. I want to pull over and get out
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, man, are y'all all right? Y'all need
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: to use a cell phone? You need some waters? I
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: got back here in the truck. Can I give you
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: a ride into town? But I never stopped for him
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: because I don't want to be involved in anybody, you
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: know that's outside of my circle.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I left my conversation with Raymond feeling just so sad
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he's a broken man. When all the charges were dropped
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: in the Kelly Wilson case, Folks and Gilmert were left
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to sort through the wreckage. Scott Leefford went back to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: private practice. Caseworkers A Gore and Debbie Minshew resigned from CPS.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Connie Martin, the one time witness, moved down to Special
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Investigator Brooks Flags Christian Retreat in Louise. This place called
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the Shepherd's Rest. A local news reporter tracked down Connie
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: at the Shepherd's Rest and East Texans were in for
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: yet another shock.
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: Martin asked to be interviewed without Flag present. She said
• 28:13
  Speaker 12: she had something important to say.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: I'll just come out and tell you what it is.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Because the Kelly Wilson thing is not true.
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: Martin says she was coerced into confessing to taking part
• 28:24
  Speaker 12: in Kelly Wilson's murder and tricked into leveling murder accusations
• 28:28
  Speaker 12: against other family members and friends along with Gilmour police
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: sergeant James Brown.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: They's practically tell me what was said, and I would
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: say that it didn't happen. They'd say yes it did,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: and I would say no, it didn't. I keep pressure
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: me and say, no, I know what did happen.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Brooks Flag had a lot to worry about, as did
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the other members of the special prosecutors team. Shane Phelps,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the Assistant Attorney General for the State of Texas, was
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: threatening to turn the tables and file criminal charges against them.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Here's Shane, And.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Ultimately I subpeeded all of them to the grand jury
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: and told them that they were targets of the grand
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: jury because I was seriously contemplating and dining them for
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: official oppression because it was so wrong what they did.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: So I didn't do that one.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: Because this had been this whole satanic nonsense, had been
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: such a distraction that nobody was devoting any resources to
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: finding Kelly Wilson. It was nobody. I knew that if
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: I had indicted them, and I could have indited it,
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: and I could have convicted it. There's no question in
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: my mind that if I had done that, then that
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: would have been the story. That's what people would have
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: been talking about. That's where all of our resources would
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: have been devoted. And I didn't want that. I wanted to
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: see if we could find Kelly Wilson and get some
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: answers for the parents. So I made the decision not to.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: I've gone back and forth over the years. I guess
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: it was so outrageous. It would have been a good
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: thing for I think everything to have been aired in
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: court so the public could have seen what an operation
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: this investigation was, and they would have been as angry
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: as that was, because we could have put experts on
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: the stand about interrogation techniques, and there's not a single
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: person with any kind of expertise in police interrogation tactics
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: who would not have said that was so far beyond acceptable.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: The Lifeer team had narrowly avoided criminal prosecution. James Brown
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: tried a different tack. Just two months after the charges
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: against Sergeant Brown were dropped, he filed a civil lawsuit
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: against Special Prosecutor Scott Leifford and the members of the team,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: alleging malicious prosecution. James Brown told the news media that
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Gilmer residents were shunning him in the streets. His reputation
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: was destroyed.
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: I always thought Jians was sort of a black and
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: white kind of guy, but not a whold on a
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: gray Keith Fields betrayed by the justice system, not only
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: with what happened with the accusation but then what happened
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: when he tried to go redress what had happened in
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: his civil lawsuit.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: This is James Brown's attorney, David Moore.
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: When the charges were dismissed, we filed, along with Andy Tyndall,
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: lawyer over in Tyler, a civil rights lawsuit against Lafford's
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: law firm, Bag's Flag, Gore Minshew, and the court reached
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: the decision that because the Flags and Bag were acting
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: under the color of law enforcement, that they had qualified immunity,
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: as did Goren Minshew and poured us out in federal
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: court saying that we can get over the qualified immunity hump,
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: I think we did. You know, I disagree with the
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: judge's decision in that deal. But yeah, it's just it's
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: just a shame, just a shame.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Here's James Brown.
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: That's what can be done to them.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: They're wrongdoings.
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: Being held accountable, they slip through the cracks, you know.
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: So it's like old opening Pandora's box on the justice
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: system if they are held accountable, and they don't want
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: to do that.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: And that's the sad part about it.
• 32:34
  Speaker 13: And my feelings are, you know, like I said, they
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: should have done something to those people. But the way
• 32:44
  Speaker 13: the system is set up, they have immunity to certain things.
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: You know, no matter if they lie.
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: Or falsify stuff for hurt people, they don't care and
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: they go on about their little lives. And I don't
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: believe that that's the way the justice system was set up.
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: The beach.
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: I believe that you tail the truth, and the truth
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: is the truth.
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: And I've always believed that.
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: How big of a problem is qualified immunity in protecting
• 33:23
  Speaker 14: bad actors.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: I think it's a huge problem. And you know, you
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: see a lot of discussions about on the federal level
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: of removing that qualified immunity that cops have to lawsuits.
• 33:41
  Speaker 14: One thing that really shocked me talking to the boy
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: who was subjected to the holding technique, Raymond is long.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Tammy said, So she.
• 33:54
  Speaker 14: Thirty years later, still can't get a decent job, can't
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: afford car.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: She walks from her apartment where she rents.
• 34:02
  Speaker 14: A room, to the nearest gas station and just runs
• 34:05
  Speaker 14: the deep fryer every day.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: And she, you know, every time she applies for a job,
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: like even.
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: To be a lunch lady at the school, is say like, oh,
• 34:14
  Speaker 14: you're great, you know, like we can't wait to.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: Work with you. We just have to run a background check.
• 34:18
  Speaker 14: And then they run the background checks, they find out
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: that she has these hot molestation charges.
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: She never hears another.
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: Word from them, So it's really I mean, it's just
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: ruined her life for decades.
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: Right, it's a stigma that you can't get passed.
• 34:41
  Speaker 14: I mean, is there anything that can be done for
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: these people at this point?
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you what. Next time you talk to her,
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: have her call me. I'll be glad to talk to
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: her and say there's something we can do to help her,
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: because that ought not be a cloud still following her.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Thirty years later, I passed along David's message to Tammy.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: When she called his law firm, she was told it
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: would cost six thousand dollars to clear her record, So
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: she'll keep walking to work at the gas station. Some
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: folks are just too poor for justice. As for Kelly Wilson,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: missing since January fifth, nineteen ninety two, she's still out there.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: It bugs me, thirty years later what happened. It bugs
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: me for James's sake and his family. It bugs me
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: for Kelly's sake and her family because I think I
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: think that they damaged what should have been a real
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: investigation into her disappearance, and I think it got sidetracked
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: for years as a result of these with these guys
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: and gals did and it's just it's a shame. It's
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: a shame.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Sergeant Brown never returned to the Gilmer Police Force. His
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: days as a cop were done. He eventually found work
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: as a prison guard his life. Penny had stood by
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: his side when he was accused of kidnapping and murdering
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Kelly Wilson, but the legal ordeal changed him. Here's Penny, Well.
• 36:08
  Speaker 15: It's pretty much made him feel insecure, angry. He was
• 36:18
  Speaker 15: a nervous wreck. I think he felt lost, you know,
• 36:23
  Speaker 15: it's just terrible. He was on medication, an I depressant.
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: He saw a psychiatrist and we both saw a counselor
• 36:32
  Speaker 15: together to try to deal with all the emotions of
• 36:37
  Speaker 15: what had happened and how it was affecting this. He
• 36:41
  Speaker 15: was on a lot of medication and then he had
• 36:44
  Speaker 15: that many stroke.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Several years after the charges were dropped, James and Penny
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Brown got divorced, and as I learned from poking around Gilmer,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of these Texans still believe he's guilty.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: That's the bad part of it at all. You know,
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: sometimes people.
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: Want to believe alive and the truth because the truth
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: isn't near as fantastic.
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: I think it's still like that to this day.
• 37:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they rather believe a lie.
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: Than believe the truth. You know, that's treating I just
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: get to the point of not won't even talk about
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: it because it's not about me. It's about Robbie and
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: his daughter finding hurt.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Despite all he's been through and all the time that's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: gone by, James Brown still believes Kelly Wilson will be found.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: He believes that someday Kelly's parents will have closure.
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: There's several suspects that are still open. Not everything lies
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: at one door until you find the final key.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: That's that's more or less objective investigation. You don't draw
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: a conclusion to one person in see you know for
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: a fact that person is person.
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: You know what they say.
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: Nowadays, there's persons.
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: Of the interests will in this case, there's Saberle.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Them the case of a missing girl got lost. In
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: all the hysteria, Kelly is still out there somewhere with
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: the satanic panic a distant memory. I want to Know
