  Speaker 1: Jeffrey, Delano, and Leon met at McKinley High School and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the Shadows of the Nation's Capital. They united over skateboarding,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: video games, and a fascination with Japanese weaponry. Talk to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: me about each one.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey as a caring person, will help anybody, very smart,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: loved his family, loved his friends.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: What about Delano?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Delano was quiet, kind of withdrawn, stayed to itself mostly.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Then Leon was the wild, crazy one. If he didn't
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: get his way, he would be like a little kid
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: having a tantrum.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Denise Washington is Jeffrey's mother, but she says she considered
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Leon and Delano part of her family.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I've been in each one of us houses. I knew
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: their parents.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: You took these boys on trips before.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, parks, outings, each trips, beaches.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: So when Jeffrey asks his mom if the pack can
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: move into a house his family owns after graduation, Denise agrees.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Do you think it was a good idea? Yes?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Why we can keep a closer eye on the boys.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So Jeffrey was playing the role of landlord. Yes, So
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: this little white brick row house morphs into the wolf's den.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Well, go on inside the house, seemed to stay inside
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the house.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Keith Alexander, who covered this story for the Washington Post,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: says the house was a real life never Land and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the pack was living a Peter Pan fantasy.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: This is a place where adults grown men never grew up.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Was the house kept up?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Many people who state at that house said it was
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a frat house.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The house becomes a revolving door for girls and all
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: night parties, one of them captured in this home video. Soon,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: neighbors begin to complain about the noise and the overwhelming
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: smell of marijuana. Did you stop by.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: The house frequently in the beginning? I did, but then
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I started getting a little out of.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Control because it was a party house.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Eventually no one is taking care of the house or
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: paying the bills.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: They were struggling with keeping the utilities on, so there
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: were times when the electricity wasn't on, the water wasn't on.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey was frustrated and angry and enraged about what was
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: going on in the house.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Tensions began to run high in the Wolf's Den, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the pack, once unbreakable, is now starting to turn on
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: each other. Did you ever notice any violence or anger
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: inside the home? Between any of the men, between Jeffrey
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and Leon, mostly who was the aggressor. I had to say, Leon, Collechi,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and Argie was friends with all three of the men,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and says he warned Jeffrey that he needed to fix
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the problem from what I was seeing in a house.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So is something bound to happen? As the mess mounts
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and the bills pile up, Leon suffers a mental breakdown
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and is briefly hospitalized.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: He's diagnosed with psychosis.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Those mental breakdowns caused issues within the home and issues
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Neo on issues with Delena. When Leon is
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: released from the hospital, he returns to the Wolve's den,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: but there's something different about him. Jeffrey says he wanders
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: around the house naked, just staring out the window into
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the backyard. Denise says his behavior turns almost rabbits. Leon
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: wrote a book.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yes that head and there, how he was going to
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: kill his parents, how he was going to kill his friends.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: As a mom, were you in fear for your son's safety?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: We knew Leon had mental issues and we just left
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: it alone because Jeffreys said that he would, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: try to help him take care of it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But soon even Jeffrey can't keep the peace. Scuffles between
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the one time best friends escalates into full blown bronze.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Denise says, one night, Leon attacks Jeffrey while he's sleeping,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: kicking him violently and repeatedly in the groin, and the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: violence only escalates. Days later, Leon pulls a razor sharp
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Ninja Bla on Jeffrey.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: He got cut and almost cut off part of his hand,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and I had to take him to the hospital to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: get stitches to.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: There were some pretty serious incidents. Yes, the pack is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: now completely divided. It's every man for himself. And without warning,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Delena Wingfield suddenly disappears in the deck. People were looking
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, my brother and my side had told me that
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: it had been notes put up on the door saying
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: please give us a call.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Delna that A few weeks later, Delano's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: grandmother receives a bizarre text saying he's heading to Europe.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: His family is very suspicious because Deleno doesn't have any money.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Was Delano ever reported missing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Deleno's grandmother went to the house and confronted Jeffrey Neil
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and said, I haven't seen my my grandson. Do you
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: know where he is, and Jeffrey Neil said, no, I know, ma'am,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know where he is. And she said, I'm
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: going to give him a couple of days, and then
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: if I don't hear from him, I'm going to report
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: him missing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The pack is now down to two lone alpha wolves,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: both at each other's throat. Days later, the little row
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: house goes eerily quiet.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: It was so bizarre. It was just so bizarre, like
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: what was going on in that house.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey's family is wondering that too, So on a sweltering
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: hot day in June, his two uncles head to the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: little white brick cows, but when they get there, something
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: stomps them in their tracks.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: One of the uncles notices a smell and he goes
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: up into the attic.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: What does he find? Something evil is happening inside this
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: little white grow house outside Washington, DC.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: There was a lot more going on than just mirror
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: roommates the wolf pack.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Delano Wingfield, Leon Young, and Jeffrey Neil.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: One by one, they're disappearing.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Something went horribly wrong.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Delano texts his family he's heading to Europe. Leon, who's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: been suffering from a mental breakdown, is nowhere.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: To be found. Then Jeffrey Neil vanishes.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And I don't think we will ever know what happened.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: To help solve the mystery, Jeffrey's uncles go check on
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the little white brick cows. The minute they step inside,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they know something horrible happened up.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So he grabbed a ladder to climb into the attic,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: which is pretty a really tight attic.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And once they squeeze inside.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: They discovered the decomposing body of Leon Young.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Leon's been brutally murdered.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: A plastic bag over his head completely moved.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Leon had been bludgeoned to death with a rusty hammer,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: hit so hard part of his skull is actually caved in.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: What was your reaction, I'd get foul.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I was just dumbfounded. So they asked me to come
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: down to the police station and bring my side, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that's what i'd hear.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Just days before Leon's body was found, Jeffrey had resurfaced
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and moved back in with his mom. But now he's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat with detectives.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're gonna put your new friends, But I got
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: a story for you. I was a good storey.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: No, it's not a good story. It's a shocking and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: horrifying story.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I'm your gun, basically.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey confesses, telling detectives they are looking at Leon Young's killer.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: I hit him with the hammer and he didn't go
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: down from the first blow.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: But the first blow.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Did make him bleed, and I hit him again and
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: then he fell.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Right on his floor. If you check his room, you
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: should see blood splatter. Are you sure you only hit
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: him two times? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: On lead him to Toms, Jeffrey says he hit his
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: best friend of the head two times and then put
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Leon's lifeless body in the attic.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: So I shook him nothing, he met a little grumble,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: and I completely freaked out. I put I put the
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: ladder up, put his body in the attic.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: How did you get his body into the addict? I
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: picked him up. He's small, he.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: Takes anything on him and his feet hands they the
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: only thing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Try to cover his head up to stop the leading
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: with plastic bags, but then that didn't work, so I
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: just tied his head with the plastic bag and just
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: left it up there too.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: A killer confession seems like easy work for the detectives
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: on Chill Jeffrey hits them with this.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: I'm not I'm going to jail for this, but I'm
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: kind of hoping that my sentence won't be too bad
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: because of self defense.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey says he had to kill Leon because Leon was
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: about to kill him.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: He was standing in front of the window, looking out
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: the window at his car with his knife.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: In the sign and just shaking his knife.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Walked in his room, asked him if he was already
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: need to attack me with the knife. I backed up,
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: but he got my hand a little bit, not much, oh,
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: my thumb and my finger.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: So he continued to attack me with the knife, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: as I backed up, I reached on the table. It
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: was a hammer on the table and swung it at him,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: hit him in the head.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But Jeffrey's not done with his story. He says before
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Leon attacked him, he made a chilling confession.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Of his own, and he said to me, I killed Delano.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: He didn't say anything else to me, but I killed Delano.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Neil said that Leon Young came at him said, look,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I just killed Wingfield, and I could do the same
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: thing to you.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: That's what he should. I don't know if it's I
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: hope it isn't true.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Remember, Leon had mental problems and viciously tacked Jeffrey before.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Repeatedly kicking him in the groin, So.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Detectives started to think Jeffrey's crazy story of self defense
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: may not be all that crazy.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: I would rather go to jail than be dead on
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: my floor right now.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Now, cops wonder if Leon may have told Jeffrey where
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: he buried Delano's body.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I hadn't mentioned where Delano is or anything like. No,
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: he didn't mention where Delano is or anything.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Despite his confession with Jeffrey's claim of killing Leon and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: self defense, detectives released Jeffrey.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: They finally come out and they bring the sun and
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I said, we'll face anything he's done. What are y'all
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: gonna do? So if you're gonna arrest us, arrest us,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: says not, let us scout.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: So they let us scout. Delano had been reported missing
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: by his grandmother weeks ago, so cops head to this
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: little white brick house looking for clues. Police came back
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: out to this house a second time, and they arrived
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: with cadaver dogs. Those dogs searched the inside of the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: house and the outside of the property and they would
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: make another gruesome discovery. This cadaver dog hits on a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: spot in the backyard. Right buried in a shallow grave
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: under a pile of bricks, they find the Lena Wingfield's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: decomposed body. So is Jeffrey now off the hook?
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Not so fast.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Two members of the wolf pack are dead, and they
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: were both killed the same way.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: One man was killed struck repeally with a hammer. Another
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: man was killed struck repeally with a hammer. One man
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: body was completely new when it was found. Another man's
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: body was found completely new.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: At one time they were blood brothers who called themselves
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the Wolf Path. Now Jeffrey Neil is the lone wolf
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: who says it was killed.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Or be killed.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: And he turned to me like this, and he put
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: the knife like this.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: In this police interrogation, Jeffrey is acting out what he
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: claims is the rage of Leon Young. He says his
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: best friend threatened to kill him after confessing to murdering
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: his other best friend, dulling a Winkfield. Jeffrey says he
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: had no choice. He was in a fight for his life.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: I took the hammer. I hit him like that the
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: first time he hit it. Did you see blood splatter?
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: The first time I hit him, I saw a blood
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: spider in his head. The second time I hit him,
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: he I saw the hammer go.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: In his head. It was two times. Pretty sure it
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: was two times.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Neil admitted to killing Leon Young. Jeffery Neil said
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: that it was self defense.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Even though Jeffrey confessed to killing Leon. Police let Jeffrey
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: go free at least for now.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: If you guys hear anything about Eleno, I would like
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: to know too.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't take long. Two days later, investigators, with the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: help of cadaver dogs, discovered Delano's body. He's buried in
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a shallow grave just behind the house the wolfback.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Used to share.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Cops are stunned. It looks like a copycat killing.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Wingfield was struck multiple times with a hammer. Wingfield's body
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: was also nude, just like Young's.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: When you heard Delano's body was found and that he
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: was murdered in the same exact way, what did you think.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I had to question myself and wonder about my son.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You had that honest conversation with yourself.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, but he said, ma, I did not kill Delano.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: He said, I did kill Leon Young. But he said
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Leon was trying to kill me.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: After a sweep of the house, cops find two different hammers.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: One hammer is covered in both Leon and Jeffrey's blind
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: The second hammer only has.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Delano's blood on it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey's story to the cops seems to be lining up.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: None of my son DNA was on delano body, ground
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: or the instrument that took delanover Sal's life.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Then the medical examiner's report comes in. It's not good
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: news for Jeffrey. Delano's blood was all over Jeffrey's bedroom
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and Leon was hit a lot more than just two
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: times with a hammer.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: The autopsy showed Leon Young was struck more than twenty times,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and that is where it became much more than just
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: self defense.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Each of the twenty six hits described as full body swings.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: That's somebody who was going back and forth, back and
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: forth with a hammer. That's rage. That's rage, that's rape.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: What caused so much rage for these high school friends,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And that's so personal and it's personal, and that's what's troubling.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: So we just don't know what caused that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Cops still don't have a motive, but the eerie similarities
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of the murders are enough for the DC cops to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: charge Jeffrey Neil with both of the killings. What was
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Jeffery's reaction when they put handcuffs on him? Nothing? He
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: just said, there and everybody needed to sit down with.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Neil revealed the motive.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Behind the murders.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: The wolf Pack had become more than just a band
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of brothers.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: They had become a den of lovers.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: And that friendship did grow into something more, something romantic.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Correct, Jeffrey Neil was having a relationship with Wingfield as
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: well as Leon Young.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey confesses the wolf Pack had been closet lovers for years,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: claiming the trouble all started when the dynamic of the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: secret threesome changed. Jeffrey recently switched his romantic affections mostly
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to Delano, and when Leon found out he was being dumped,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: he exploded into a jilted lover's jealous rage. So, the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: people who classify this as a love triangle gone wrong,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: what do you say.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: It was a love triangle gone wrong?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Did you know your son's relationship with Leon and Delano
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: had went from a friendship to meybe love? Yes, I
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: know about it, and Did you know that that could
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: be complicated for all three of these men, Yes, especially
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: living in the same home.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Did you give your son advice?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: No, he was twenty wie. That was his love of fear,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: not mines. But I also instructed him, you need to
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: use call ship. You know you're treading on kind of
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: weird water.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: The wild claims of sexcapedes between Jeffrey and his childhood
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: best friends shocked this city.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: What really came out was that these men were having
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: no sexual intercourse with each other, unbeknownst to a lot
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: of people outside of the house, because a lot of
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: these guys had girlfriends and so. But what went on
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: inside the house seemed to stay inside the house. Outside
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the house, they carried on as friends, as heterosexual friends
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: who just came together and were just clear, you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: pure photonic roommates. But according to Jeffrey Neil, inside the house,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: there was a lot more going on than just mirror roommates.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Then the prosecution comes back with what some call another
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: smoking gun. It centers around this gruesome crime scene photo
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of Delana Winfield and his grave wearing socks. When Jeffrey
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: confessed to killing Leon Young and hiding his body in
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the attice. He told detectives Leon was naked except for
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: his socks. Here's the problem. Leon wasn't wearing socks. Prosecutors
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: say Jeffrey confused his two murder victims. The jury finds
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Neil to be a cold blooded killer who murdered
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: his two best friends. He's convicted and sentenced to sixty
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: years behind bars. Today and a Crime Watch Daily exclusive,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Neil is talking to me about what he says really
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: happened that June day? Are you a monster? Were you
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: in fear for your life?
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: Purified? Especially considering the previous stable that he'd give me
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: a year and a half that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Neil is talking to me over the telephone from
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Big Sandy Prison in Inez, Kentucky. So Leon and Deleno
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: are both killed with a hammer. Can you understand why
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that looks so bad for you?
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: I understand completely why it looks extremely bad for me.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: What do you think the motive for Leon killing Delano
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: would be? Was it a love triangle gone bad?
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: I think that the love triangle was a very strong possibility,
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: But truthfully, I would just speaking with a blindfold if
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: I knew.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: But some now question if this is all just a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: part of Jeffrey Neil's defense strategy. It's been reported that
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: this may have been possibly a love triangle that went wrong.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Is that accurate?
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Well, it depends on who you asked. That's what's so
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: in the unusual about this case, right, only one who
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: seems to really know about this love triangle is Jeffrey Neil.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: No one had any confirmation that there was anything going
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: on sexually. Again, the only one who really seems to
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: know about that is the one survivor, and that's Jeffrey Neil.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Neil still maintains he did not kill Delana Winfield, but
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you were romantically linked to both of them. Correct, Correct,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And in a shocking revelation, Jeffrey tells me he killed
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the man he actually loved. Did you love both of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: these men?
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: I was in love with Leon ra I was never
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: in love with Leno.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: As for the twenty six full body swing se Leon,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey says he remembers hitting him more times, but he
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: was trying to downplay the murder to detectives.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: I had no idea the exact number of times for him.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think you should be behind bars for Leon's death?
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: Truthfully? I do because I feel like my action would
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: have been different. I don't feel like I should be
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: behind bars.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: First, to be a murdered What do you want people
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to know about you?
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: I'm not a guilty man when it comes to Delana Wingfield.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: I did not kill that man. That man was my brother.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: I loved him, Michael brother.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Neil wants to appeal his conviction. What is your
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: hope for your future?
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: I hope I get a new trial, and I hope
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: that this new trial did Jerry really played attention to
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: the DNA evidence.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: And Denise, who considered herself a mother to all the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: boys in the wolf Pack, once felt she had three
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: sons and now she has none. Losing these kids, I mean,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: this had to take a piece of your heart, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I still do.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I have my moments.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Still and losing your son.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And I still have my moments with that.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Do you believe in your heart Jeffrey is innocent.
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Y's I do?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: What's next for you?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Try to fight my try to fight for my side.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do everything I can to help my son.
