  Speaker 3: This lone cop just discovered a dead body in the
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: middle of the woods.

  Speaker 3: the twisted man hiding in this very forest.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're going to torch him.

  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what it is, but I've got movement

  Speaker 2: east of my location in the wood.

  Speaker 1: He cares three or four nights on. He thanks his
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: rain up your way. I'm just working. God.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: It's December twenty three, twenty twenty two, and Officer Azore
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: has just received a nine to one one call from
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: a distraught man reporting that he's found his best friend's
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: lifeless body in the middle of the lake Jackson Forest.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Officer Azore, along with a group of first responders quickly
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: arrive at the scene.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: That's about green. Okay, yel stay right there.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Here, they encounter Jamie, the nine to one one caller,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: and his best friend Robert, both of whom urgently want
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to show the officer where their dead friend is. Considering
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the serious circumstances, Officer Azore decides to follow Robert into
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the forest, despite being alone.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: See with him. It's just give you a minute.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I'm tim with toe with two.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I'm head down to take a through six if you

• 2:06
  Speaker 7: We go back.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: No way about picking art, courage, kick you all? I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: watching it was good. Yeah, Michael was laying on the ground.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: There's no blood on it. Did you touch the knife?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't take a life. Okay, Well we're gonna need
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to get fingerprints from me. Okay, done the problem. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: walk by the talk and you said, see James.
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: Okay, And then Alan walked by the time goes, what's that?
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: And he kicked the chop up with your chickens in
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: his hand, and James was laying their face down, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: I gotten back and we left.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So we're gonna need to get a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: very detailed statement from you, okay, just because I don't understand.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Well, the thing is, I'm not accusing you of anything.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: We're gonna have to be ruled out.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: What have you said? At this point, the officer can't
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: yet confirm Robert's story, but with a dead body reported,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: he has no ways but to push deeper into the woods. However,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: alone with a suspicious man he's just met, and a
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: killer who could be lurking nearby, the officer knows he
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: must proceed with extreme caution.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You hanging on that right here for me?
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: Okay, let me get up there and take the look, okay,
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: and then all right.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Where's the knife? Okay? Okay, just hang out there for me, okay.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Jeannie was telling the truth. Wrapped inside the tarp is
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the body of James Leydendecker. He's lying naked in a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: pool of his own blood, covered in cuts and scrapes.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Realizing the severity of the situation, wait, Officer Razore immediately
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: instructs Jamie to head back well he investigates further. That's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: when Officer Azore begins to hear some unsettling noises.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it's a person. I'm not sure
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: what it is, but I've got movement east of my
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: location in the wood.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds like it's in in this way.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Hey, yupt Fortunately for Officer Azore backup arrived just in time,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: providing some relief from whatever might have been lurking in
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the forest.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing out to check. He's called with
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: a touch.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: All right, We've got.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Knife right here, body here, tense, whole camp spread up
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: back here. We've also got one outstanding. There's two people
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: who live in this camp, and one's outstanding at the moment.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I got a knife right here. Well there's something right there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But hey, did you still got those two guys ten
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: twelve up front?
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they're standing there waiting for us.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It's good because one that led me back touched the knife,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: so we need to get this prints in a statement
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: off him.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The other one touched the tart. They found out what
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was going on and they took off. I checked the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: camp and he's the only one back here.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: I got the name of the person at five or
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: six o'clock.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, and I've got what looks like maybe his
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: clothes right over there.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So he's naked and there's some clothes right there on
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the fire.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: As medical staff arrives and examines the body more closely,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: they observe a brutal manner of death, blunt force, trauma
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to the head, strangulation, and something even more disturbing gasoline
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: found in James's lungs and stomach. Detectives are left with
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a burning question why would a victim have gasoline inside him? However,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: this would be only one of the many disturbing details
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: officers uncover at the scene.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, sex, take a look at this one.
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: What is that?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Is that just sootword off on that? Or it looks
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: up with shining.
• 6:40
  Speaker 10: For what I can see, Well, he is button eked,
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: face down on the tart with his upper course of.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Definitely somebody.
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: So I don't know what his face looks like if
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: he was stabbed in the night. You're in the face, Wan,
• 6:59
  Speaker 10: The blood maybe hidden by the tar. I'm not seeing
• 7:02
  Speaker 10: the obvious blood. Apparently the witness picked up the knife
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: and the like, are.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: There's blood on it?
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah, the tar's brown, but there's blood all over the tar,
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: like blood slidder.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It looks like I mean, he was moved post more
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: than you can tell by the way he was dry.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's hollow down, bloody set.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Almost looks like a carbon ogent.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: This into one eye.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: You see that it's.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Sucking nuts kiss for guess.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: So yes, I think that a change, all right, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: it looks like we just.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: By now, officers were certain they had a murder on
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: their hands. The injuries to the body, the bloody knife,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: and the presence of gasoline all points to one thing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: This wasn't just a killing, but a calculated act where
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the victim had likely been tortured for hours. With this
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: in mind, officers would return to question Jamie, the man
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: who had originally called nine one one, and what Jamie
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: reveals would soon lead investigators directly to the killer. But
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: before we continue, it's worth noting that tragedies like these
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: could affect any of us. Take Evet Torrets. She was
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: walking home from work in Philadelphia when a truck struck
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: her without warning. Morgan and Morgan fought for her in
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: court and won her nearly twelve million dollars. If you're
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: seriously hurt, your injury could be worth millions. With over
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: one thousand attorneys Morgan and Morgan will fight to give
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: you the best results if you become their client, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: unless you win, they do it all for free. In
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: just the past few months, Morgan and Morgan has helped
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: hundreds of people. One car crash victim in Florida won
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: a verdict worth twelve million dollars and another in Philadelphia
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: twenty six million dollars. That was forty times more than
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: they were insurance offered. So if you ever got seriously injured,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: your case could be worth millions and it takes only
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: a few minutes to see if you have a case.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: You can start your claim with Morgan and Morgan by
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: visiting www dot forthpeople dot com slash insanity found in
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the description, or by scanning the QR code on the
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: screen from your phone's camera. With that said, let's get
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: back to the investigation. Officers were about to speak again
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: with Jamie, one of the eyewitnesses, and he would provide
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: them with their biggest lead yet.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I heard arguing and stuff, So I go through the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: woods do this camp?
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: See why all back to the camp because you know
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: ra English people argue all the time by dumb shit.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: It's been a while now and I haven't heard anything
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: from James or anybody over there. So I go over
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: there to me and my friendis with teture mail. Go
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: over there right so when I won't get to a
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: certain point, I see a tar laying there beside this tree,
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: which is never there.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: Is.
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: I don't even know if it's James or all right,
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Well we're gonna we're gonna get it figured out.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Okay, do you know James?
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: Do you know James?
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: No, I'm telling the person who did this because I
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: know who it is, Dusty McDonald.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: They live right up.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: He just got the complaint this morning. Man come down
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: there with the hatchet threatening him, shopping ship up called
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: it in Sheris department to come over. They talked to
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: him and they told him. They told him that they're
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: gonna go over and talk to him.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: This stay away.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: James is going to Pauds.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: No man, Rick, Okay, Rick there, no man, but Rick
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: is going to the stage there. James's up a fraying
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: of everybody's but he was staying up there with us.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: According to Jamie, man named Dusty McDonald had attacked another man,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Rick with a hatchet earlier that day. Police were called,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: but were unable to locate or confront Dusty at the time.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: While this incident was concerning, it wasn't enough on its
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: own to establish Dusty as a primary suspect until nearly
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: every witness interviewed pointed to him as well. Eventually, officers
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: had gathered enough statements to justify bringing Dusty in for questioning.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: All they needed now was to find him. As police
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: began searching for Dusty, other officers on scene would sit
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: down with the two nine one one callers to piece
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: together a timeline. According to them, the day had started
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: with unsettling signs that something was off.
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: We both went down there were right here and we
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: want to go check out our fandly he's retent talkayark earlier, right,
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: we know who's down.
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: There s history arguing O saw well, damn the woods.
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: I seen Dusty have chains on the ground. You know
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: what I'm saying. You shouldn't talk shit about this night.
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, hurt like, oh they just
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: getting ship out, you know what I mean? But I
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: never hear know nothing of them over the real name
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: or Dusty knew done?
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Did you say that?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: James called them to day and said, hey.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: No, Rick or Rick call Rick the James was there
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: or Dusty went over there to cut his tank with
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: he threatened with the machete cut his team up all
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: kinds of ship because police made him report and the
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: police just said stay away from him.
• 12:42
  Speaker 12: There's a talk.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Laying beside a tree that's never there, because I looked
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: at it and I took a stick went when I
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: flipped it up, I seen legs.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Based on these witness accounts, officers now have a fairly
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: detailed picture of what likely unfolded just hours there earlier.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: They also have a lead suspect, Dusty McDonald, a name
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: one of the officers happened to be familiar with.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I think they already brought up his name, that Dustin McCormick.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Dusty, Dusty as.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Supposedly general and some militia had come down there this morning.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: A machette has started to pack him up some of
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: the tamps because so he wanted to clear the area.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Sett he's the signal twenty in office. Mans.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: They said Dusty.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: They said, Dusty is the one that was now standing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they said this guy Dusty left him over here.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: By later in the evening, By now it was clear
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Dusty had likely been involved in the murder, and with
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Jamie and Robert's statements in hand, police began piecing together
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the sequence of events leading up to the brutal killing.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Earlier that day, Rick, another man who lived at the camps,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: had called nine one one, claiming a Dusty McDonald had
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: slashed his tent with a machete while searching for a
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: man named James, even threatening him in the process. Later
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: that afternoon, Dusty managed to find James, and witnesses reported
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: hearing arguing from the camp. When they checked to see
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: what was going on, they saw Dusty on top of James,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: wrestling and yelling. It didn't appear to be anything more
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: than a heated argument, so they returned to their camp. However,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: hours would pass and nobody had heard from James. Robert
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: and Jamie began to worry and decided to go looking
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: for him, and that's when they found a blue tarp
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: covering James's lifeless body. Nearly all witness accounts lined up
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: perfectly with this timeline of events, making the next step
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: for officers clear arrest Dusty and bring him in for interrogation. Fortunately,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: since officers had begun the work of locating him earlier
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: that day, they already had Dusty's address. Soon after, they
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: surrounded the house ready to move in.
• 14:57
  Speaker 13: Jerebos put a night down, eh, come on out, come
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: on out, come on out. Anything, Okay, come on, come on,
• 15:07
  Speaker 13: come on out.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I'm right here, sir, Come on out right here. Yeah,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: just try to light me on fire.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: To y'all know what happened down there.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: That man truck. Light me on fire. Man, it's all
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: do things to dogs.
• 15:28
  Speaker 11: I'm not at all, sir, sir.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Just look at my house and murdered me down there
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and light me on fire.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Dusty's behavior would be bizarre from the start, immediately insisting
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: that James tried to set him on fire and that
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: the officers quote already know what happened down there, whether
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: he's trying to claim self defense or is just completely unhinged.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Is anyone's gas?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Sorry, you know what happened. That's what's going to figure
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: out how to light me with fire.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: Okay, listen, without one side, that's why you need come
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: with us.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: With the supposed killer in custody, officers concluded the disturbing
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: on sne investigation and began preparing for interrogation if Dusty
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: was their killer. Given what had been done to the
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: victim's body, it pointed to someone deeply disturbed that suspicion
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: would soon be confirmed. By now, Dusty had already raised
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: serious concerns he had slashed Rick's tent and threatened him.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: On top of that, multiple witnesses had just reported seeing
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: him argue with James hours before the murder. However, despite
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: how clear things seemed, there was one major complication. Dusty
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: was claiming self defense. He alleged that James had thrown
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: gasoline on him and threatened to set him on fire.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: This wasn't a claim detectives could easily dismiss, especially given
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: the distinct smell of gasoline at the scene, meaning there
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: was a possibility he could get away with his crime.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Even though it's clear who's behind the murder at this point,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Dusty's story now carries a shred of credibility. Detectives have
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: one goal to break that story, either by disproving his
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: self defense claim using witness statements, or ideally by getting
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: a confession. Either way, the investigation is about to get
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: a lot more complicated. To move forward, detectives start by
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: bringing in people from the encampment who knew Dusty well
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and interacted with him regularly. If Dusty had a pattern
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: of violent behavior, these individuals were the most likely to
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: have seen it firsthand.
• 17:38
  Speaker 12: My goal here is to kind of get from your
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: perspective kind of what you saw, which you heard.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: He ain't really been bugging women at all, right, the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: girl's words.
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: He's always a shad Oh come up, you long and
• 17:51
  Speaker 14: you know, coming down, coming down all.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Time, bumped up goshower, getting two dollars that working.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Rick explains that Dusty often offered showers and laundry to
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: homeless individuals in the area, sometimes charging a small fee.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: This catches the attention of detectives. These seemingly generous acts
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: may be a part of a larger pattern of manipulation,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: a way for Dusty to assert control over the homeless community.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Is a detail that could support their efforts to build
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: a stronger case against him.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I drop my best to get along with him.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: You know, he had a shower that we all used,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: you know, sometime to try to keep and give with
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: him for those reasons and stuff, you.
• 18:33
  Speaker 12: Know, I need.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: My wild strange stuff.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I think he was capable of murdering a solace truth,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I was just over there. Basically using his an atest,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: He's like we all were not, you know, a chance
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: to be a shower usually offered it. That's where making
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: friends with us something. I had stayed with them before
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: and they kicked me out.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I thought I was on a lot. I was taking
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: pictures of him and stuff like that. Well, have a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: phone pictures off follow.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Dusty lives in a house near the homeless camps, a
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: property owned by his grandfather. At first, much like Rick Buzby,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: describes Dusty as someone who seems generous, allowing members of
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the homeless camp to use his home for basic amenities.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: As investigators continue interviewing members of the homeless community, a
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: more troubling picture of Dusty begins to emerge. He has
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: a history of strange and violent behavior, marked by paranoia
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: and delusions. However, officers face a challenge the interviews so
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: far have been too vague, highlighting patterns of behavior but
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: lacking concrete details to build a solid case. This leads
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: detectives back to Jamie, the original nine to one one
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: caller and the person with the clearest recollection of events
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: so far, and he's able to offer meaningful insight into
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: who Dusty really is.
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: Mister Grylan my role here in all this, it's just
• 20:06
  Speaker 12: kind of to get from your perspective, You're side of things,
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: what you saw, what you observed.
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: Mankind of mine FIM last night I used to stay
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: up there with it's.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: A violid person.
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: Okay, does papays one and let me stay there?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Because he's one owns the property.
• 20:25
  Speaker 14: The reason I don't stay there is because you don't
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: do what he says. And he's all angry and three
• 20:32
  Speaker 14: energy and he just Trace said, well.
• 20:37
  Speaker 12: It's usually caring.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just stick this down. But he's either got to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: steak machety or not. He's listen, he carries like three
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: or four nights on him. Machete steaks this. He's like
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: he thinks he's rambow. Well.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Dusty had a reputation as a bully who routinely harassed
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: the homeless community. No one expected his behavior to escalate
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: a cold blooded murder. His so called generosity offering his
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: home for showers and laundry masked a deeper need for
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: control and manipulation. The same people he claimed to help
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: were also the ones he intimidated and threatened revealing a
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: warped sense of power and superiority. In the end, this
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: contradiction may have set the stage for the gruesome murder.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: When Dusty was brought in for questioning, his demeanor was
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: strangely calm. At this point. He seems to believe that
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: he is seen as a victim of an attack by
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: this homeless man. He didn't seem like he was in
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: his right mind at all. Detectives were hoping to learn
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: about dusty side of the story, but instead we're met with, well,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of nonsense, you know him a rep.
• 21:47
  Speaker 14: You're what you know?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I mean? Thank you? Thank you?
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: This really a hard day. Sure, I wait along with them? Really?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, I still have a big rats and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: of innocence within the IF.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Throughout his interrogation, Dusty's responses are filled with incoherent delusions
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: and deflections. In Dusty's mind, he's quote an owl, constantly watched, monitored,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: and under surveillance. It's clear that without his medication, his
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: schizophrenia is spiraling out of control.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Market will jun that was so crazy shit and still
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: be able to get us some feasible into Yeah. While
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: studying at the place is so dangerous from me.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of press is given to me
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: for my fabook man, thank you for saying talking about this.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Dusty seems to believe he's outsmarted the cops, thinking he's
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: there to provide valuable intel as the victim, but he
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: will soon find out that he's actually a suspect in
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: the cold blooded murder of an innocent man.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I haven't shut your having to go in horror, you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I'm so exhausted. How you what his kind of work?
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Not very long? That was my first I think everybody
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: knows it, you know. Thank you for this deep psychological
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: right now? Uh a lot.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Listening closely to Dusty's words, it seems as if he's
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: openly admitting to the murder. Although his statement is scattered
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: and unclear, it gives detectives the impression that he's acknowledging
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: responsibility without fully grasping the seriousness of his actions. But
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Dusty's bizarre ad missions wouldn't stop there, as he continues
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: rambling incoherently.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: And then as I that, he throws a ghastly on
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: me because you know how I'm bulled up, and don't
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: did I thought I was just doing it for the
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: other you know what I.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Mean, Yeah, that was my things. I didn't manage to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: hit that nee. You come out looked up. I don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: know how to do, you know. I mean, I mean
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: when I'm just experimenting.
• 24:21
  Speaker 11: In the house blade like before, I back when I
• 24:25
  Speaker 11: took the chidis and threw any curved.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: But I mean't know how to do. I just know
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: it's my beautiful mind that.
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: Uh I am just it's a three way, you know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: it's the photographic, the audiogenic and take then the.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: You know, if you don't ever think I'm so amazed
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that I'm just like a god man. I never thought
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: it would be something like that, but my god, what
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that thing was?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Well does these ramblings would be interpreted as an admission
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: that James was his first murder. The statement is buried
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: in a mix of delusions about retinoid's, his photographic memory,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and other incoherent claims. The detective picks up on this
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: and pushes further, trying to separate fact from fiction. In
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Dusty's fractured account, for me to verify.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Everything can see elsewhere I got, I'm trying to account.
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: That.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want you to think of listening. My personality is,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: but I don't want you to think I'm being.
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: Certain and I.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Dusty claims he's not mad and that people don't understand
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: how he communicates. This shows he might have a twisted
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: view of himself, possibly because of paranoia, delusions, or mental illness.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: What's strange is how calm and relieved Dusty seems. Most
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: guilty people would be nervous or scared during an interrogation,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: but Dusty is different. He seems to still believe he's
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: the victim and doesn't grasp the seriousness of his actions.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Instead of taking responsibility, he thinks people just don't understand him.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: This becomes even clearer when Dusty asks one final question
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: to the detective.
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: Home I'm going to figure that out, yeah, or we're
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: going down to dance and we're going to have to
• 26:23
  Speaker 11: figure that kind of.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm to talk to you about it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: After this bizarre exchange, the detective had hurt enough to
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: know it was time to wrap up the interrogation. Dusty's
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: lack of remorse and distorted grip on reality made it
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: clear they were dealing with someone who didn't fully understand
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: the weight of his actions. According to the pathology report
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the victim, James Leydendecker, was subjected to horrific torture before
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: his death. His body showed severe blunt force trauma, including cuts, bruises,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: and fracture to his face, nose, ears, and mouth. His
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: eyes had severe bleeding and many of his teeth were broken.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: The injuries also extended to his neck, with heavy bleeding
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: in the muscles and a broken hyoid bone, suggesting he
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: had been strangled. His torso displayed several broken ribs, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: internal bleeding was found in his chest an abdomen. One
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: of the most disturbing details from the report was that
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: James had been exposed to gasolene. His skin had begun
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: to slough off in areas, and a strong smell of
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: gasoline was found on his arms, thighs, and hands. Gasolene
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: was also detected in his lungs and stomach, indicating he
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: had inhaled and swallowed it before he died. This made
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the murder even more gruesome. Dusty was processed for forensic
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: evidence and transported to the Leon County Detention Facility. The
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: witness statements, his vague confession, and the forensic evidence from
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the scene were enough to formally charge him. Dusty MacDonald
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: was charged with one count of first agreement murder, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: as of this video's upload, his case remains ongoing.
