1:20
Please be forewarned that each episode contains specific and at
1:24
times a very graphic and disturbing details of the case
1:28
and may not be intended for all audiences.
1:31
This case was important to me to share and discuss with you for
1:34
several reasons, although, I am native to the West Coast and
1:37
have lived, most of my life in California and Arizona, I know
1:41
called the beautiful state of North Carolina, my home.
1:44
Charlotte is the largest city in the state, which is about a
1:47
three hour drive from where I reside, but it still feels close
1:50
enough to feel a connection to the area and it's tragedies.
1:54
This case is a tragic example of how marginalized groups of
1:57
people. In this case, being young
1:59
African-American, women are not prioritized and protecting much
2:03
less is law enforcement, given the resources to solve cases of
2:08
missing raped and murdered women.
2:10
Also in the True Crime, world were serial killers like Gacy.
2:13
He Bundy Dahmer in the like always place in the spotlight,
2:17
it is important to me and I find way more compelling to learn
2:20
about the cases and better understand the perpetrator
2:24
profiles of serial killers, who are less common household names.
2:29
I also wanted to cover this case because there is an abundance of
2:32
accurate details. Provided by the Appellate Court,
2:35
case for a criminal law nerd, like me.
2:37
Well, it doesn't get any sweeter than finding real court cases to
2:41
read and gather information from, for a story.
2:44
This is the case of the Taco Bell Strangler Charlotte Henry
2:48
Louis Wallace. 1993 marked the bloodiest year in Charlotte
2:53
North Carolina history with a record 129 murders.
2:58
The ever-rising Siege. That was the crack cocaine
3:01
epidemic flooded the most impoverished neighborhoods with
3:05
violence and chaos. The criminal justice system's
3:09
assault on the African-American communities, through its gross.
3:12
Disparity of sentencing for crack cocaine had disrupted and
3:16
shattered. Countless families.
3:19
For those of you who are not familiar with this law, the
3:21
sentence held for the conviction of crack.
3:23
Cocaine versus powder cocaine is extremely disproportionate under
3:28
the anti-drug Abuse Act of 1986 the law made it.
3:32
So that an individual would face the same penalty for the
3:35
possession of 5 grams. Of crack cocaine, that's someone
3:39
who possessed, 500 grams of powder cocaine would under the
3:45
100 to 1 ratio sentence. A person with a tiny amount of
3:49
personal crack cocaine use could spend a minimum of five years in
3:53
prison for the offense. However, someone trafficking
3:57
powder cocaine could have 100 times this amount and face the
4:01
same penalty. Given the notable demographic
4:05
differences between a typical crack cocaine, user versus a
4:08
cocaine. User based on the huge
4:11
difference. One narcotic over the other
4:12
costs, this statute repped absolute Havoc.
4:16
Upon the lower economic, minority classes, with many of
4:19
their residents, getting caught with a rock and ending up
4:23
sometimes doing 20 years for personal drug.
4:26
Use this left a gaping hole in their communities.
4:31
Law enforcement was bombarded. It with handling drug busts and
4:35
the escalating rise of violent crimes.
4:37
In these neighborhoods, they were spread thin overworked
4:41
better and tainted by what they were witnessing unfold.
4:45
There were also ever-escalating racial tensions, amongst police,
4:49
and residents mainly due to political and public pressure
4:53
priority over. Missing and murdered
4:55
individuals. For more affluent, areas took
4:58
precedence over what happened in the ghettos and in the
5:01
struggling, working minority classes.
5:03
A veil of Darkness loomed over the city, with the friendly
5:07
monster hiding in plain sight, who would murder nine young
5:11
women in this neglected and ignored Urban existence.
5:17
The following details of each crime were taken from the
5:20
Appellate Court case, State versus Wallace 2000, North
5:23
Carolina, Supreme Court. And based on the recorded
5:26
confessions of Henry, Louise Wallace, Murder One, Caroline
5:32
love, Henry's own. Love the mother of his beautiful
5:35
little girl lived in an apartment.
5:37
With a young girl named Caroline love on June, 15th 1992.
5:41
Caroline had just finished her evening shift at a Bojangles
5:45
restaurant. For those of you who are not
5:47
familiar, Bojangles is a very popular Popeyes or KFC type fast
5:52
food restaurant chain and South, they are known for their
5:56
delicious fried chicken biscuit sandwiches and Hush Puppies.
5:59
I've become I'm quite familiar with Bojangles living in North
6:02
Carolina now but I digress, as Carolina love needed to do some
6:07
laundry after work. She asked the night manager.
6:09
If she could exchange a roll of quarters for $10, while walking
6:13
back to her apartment, her cousin, Robert Ross drove by and
6:17
offered her a ride home which she accepted, he later told the
6:21
police, he saw Caroline safely into her apartment before
6:24
driving away. A few days went by and Caroline
6:28
love failed to show up for work. It was not her style.
6:31
Her boss had Bojangles reached out to her sister, Kathy, to let
6:35
her know and Kathy, left a note on her sister's apartment door
6:38
the following day, she received another call that her sister
6:42
Caroline did not show up again for her shift.
6:45
Ironically, Kathy reached out to Henry, Louise Wallace whom, she
6:48
knew to ask him to find Sadie McKnight, who was her sisters
6:52
roommate and asked her. If she knew what her sister was
6:55
Henry. And his girlfriend Sadie along
6:58
with the missing girls, sister. Kathy, Filed a missing persons
7:01
report at the local police station afterwards Kathy entered
7:05
her sister's apartment. She saw the some of the
7:07
furniture had been disrupted and that her bed sheets were gone
7:11
later. It was determined that the role
7:13
of laundry quarters was also missing.
7:16
There was no sign or evidence of Caroline love and where she had
7:20
gone. Henry Lee.
7:22
We swallows confess, the following sequence of events
7:25
took place that night, he had made a copy of their house, key
7:28
from his girlfriend's key and enter the apartment when no one
7:32
was home. Sam Lee Henry heard Caroline
7:34
Enter he called out to her that he was using the restroom and he
7:38
would leave as soon as he was done upon entering the living
7:41
room, Henry saw Caroline love watching TV and went over to her
7:45
kissing her on the cheek. Caroline was upset by this but
7:49
said she would not tell his girlfriend Sadie as Because he
7:52
promised to never kiss her again, this subset Henry
7:56
triggering some kind of rage inside of him and he put
7:59
Caroline love into a wrestling like choke, hold.
8:02
She scratched it Henry's face, and arms.
8:05
Well, he held her tight until she blacked out.
8:08
He then moved her to the bedroom.
8:10
Unclothed, her took the court of a curling iron to bind, her
8:14
hands behind her back with and covered her mouth with tape,
8:18
Henry proceeded to have sex orally and vaginally with
8:21
Caroline. And while she slipped in and out
8:24
of Consciousness, as Caroline began to gain Consciousness,
8:28
Wallace used to choke. Hold on her again.
8:30
And this time, he did not let up until her body went limp.
8:34
Feeling her heartbeat, still Henry strangled Caroline until
8:37
she died. He abruptly left the apartment
8:41
and moved his vehicle to a closer point to the stairwell in
8:44
order to transport her body. With minimal effort, rapping
8:48
Caroline's body inside her own bed sheet.
8:51
He Laced her inside a large orange trash bag.
8:54
He carried the bag along with the decoy bag and the attempt of
8:58
a ruse to indicate. She had left on her own accord
9:01
and which he stuff some of her personal clothes inside.
9:04
He dumped the bag along with loves body inside into the woods
9:10
concerned that the orange trash bag was too visible from the
9:13
road. He later returned to remove her
9:15
body from the bag and moved it into a shallow ravine.
9:20
Murder two, Shawna Hawk. Shawna Hawk was an ambitious and
9:24
hardworking young woman who lived with her mother while she
9:27
studied to be a paralegal at a local community college.
9:30
All why pulling shifts at a Taco Bell.
9:32
Unfortunately, for Shawna her path would meet that of
9:36
Wallace's. Who was her manager at the
9:38
fast-food restaurant on February, 19, 1993 Shauna's mom
9:43
returned. Home to prepare dinner for them.
9:45
When she noticed that her daughter was not there, she
9:48
became alarmed. When she saw her coat and purse
9:51
were still hung up in the closet, her motherly instincts
9:55
were strong. And she knew something was off
9:57
since it was too cold of a Winter's Night in.
9:59
Charlotte to go out with an extra layer on and she never
10:03
went anywhere without her purse. She called shawna's boyfriend.
10:07
Darrell Kirkpatrick to inquire as to if he knew where she was,
10:11
but he did not Shauna's mother became even more concerned when
10:16
she was informed, that Shawna never picked up her.
10:18
God son from daycare. She rummaged through her
10:21
daughter's purse and notice her keys were gone.
10:24
And there was many missing when Darryl arrived, they called the
10:27

10:30
careful walkthrough of the apartment and suddenly saw that
10:33
the shower curtain had been pulled outside of the tub to his

10:40
He saw his girlfriend submerged in water her body all curled up.
10:46
Sadly, Emergency Services. Could not save the young woman.
10:50
Life and upon the ride to the hospital.
10:52
She died. Henry, Louise Wallace later told
10:57
of how he had visited Shawna that day and they had chatted
10:59
for a while as he was leaving, Shauna hugged him.
11:03
He then told her that he wanted to have sex with her.
11:06
According to Wallace, he took her into her bedroom, instructed
11:10
her to take her clothes off and to perform fellatio on him which
11:14
he did. And he then reciprocated oral
11:16
sex on her. According to Wallace, he and
11:19
Shauna had mutual sexual intercourse, but he expressed
11:22
how she was scared. And The entire time afterwards,
11:27
Henry told her to dress and let her into the bathroom without
11:31
warning Henry shove. Shauna's, head between his arms,
11:34
placing her in a Chokehold until she lost Consciousness.
11:37
He then filled the tub with water and laid Shauna's body
11:41
inside. However, dr.
11:44
Sullivan, who performed the autopsy noted?
11:46
That there was physical evidence indicative of ligature.
11:49
Strangulation a ligature for those of you who are not
11:52
familiar with the term is a tools.
11:54
Such as a corridor band or some other kind of material or
11:57
instrument, that can be made into a band record, which is
12:01
placed around the neck. And then as utilized to compress
12:04
the neck with Force, Murder three, Audrey Spain, 24 year old
12:11
Audrey Spain. Was another innocent young
12:13
woman. Whose path would cross with
12:15
Henry Luce. Wallace on June 23, 1993, Audrey
12:19
never showed up for her shift at a Taco Bell in Charlotte.
12:22
Which alarmed her manager. Marc Lowrance since Audrey was
12:25
known to be a very reliable employee very concerned.
12:29
He decided to drive over to her apartment that same evening
12:33
where he noticed her vehicle in the parking lot.
12:36
He Not go to her apartment but rather he left a message for on
12:39
her phone. The following morning.
12:42
Mark Lawrence drove by her apartment again and saw her
12:45
vehicle was still there. This time, he called Audrey
12:49
sister to convey his concern, but she never picked up no
12:53
return his call. So when Audrey failed to show up
12:57
for her shift at that evening, he decided to call 911 the
13:02
police row by her apartment, a few times and even knocked on
13:05
her door, but no one ever. Answered, two days.
13:08
After Audrey's initial disappearance on June 25th
13:11
maintenance from her apartment complex went through sliding
13:14
glass door to find her dead body upon her bed, Audrey's manager,
13:18
Marc Lowrance stopped over that same day officers informed him.
13:22
That Audrey was deceased the following day.
13:26
The same doctor who performed Shauna's autopsy removed.
13:29
A crafted ligature of a T-shirt and a bra that had been forcibly
13:33
wrapped around the woman's neck with the end of the shirt.
13:36
Shaft into her mouth, once The Binding was removed.
13:40
Just as before he saw that, there was a mark left by the
13:44
force of the ligature. There was hemorrhaging in the
13:47
lining of her eyes, the skin of her face inside her voice box
13:51
and in the muscles within the front area of her neck.
13:55
There was no doubt that the young woman's cause of death was
13:59
from strangulation. Henry Lee waste Wallace would
14:02
later reveal that he and Audrey had gotten high together that
14:05
night. But his primary motive for being
14:07
there was to rob her, he admitted to having placed Audrey
14:11
in a Chokehold and demanded the combination for the safe, the
14:15
Taco Bell, where she worked, but she claimed to not know the
14:17
numbers Wallace also inquired, about her own personal bank
14:21
account, but she told him that she was broke since she had just
14:25
returned from vacation. Although Audrey begged for him
14:29
to not hurt her henrique kept her in the Chokehold until she
14:32
lost Consciousness. He then dragged her body into
14:35
the bedroom and raped her. After he sexually assaulted her,
14:40
he forced her body into the shower and washed off any
14:43
evidence. He may have left behind Henry
14:46
then laid Audrey into her bed and tied the tee shirt and bra
14:50
Contraption he had made around her neck before fleeing.
14:54
The scene he took her car keys and credit card which he used to
14:58
buy gas. To thwart belief as to what day
15:01
she'd actually died Henry returned to her apartment and
15:06
made phone calls from her home. Murder for Valencia jumper.
15:11
Valencia jumper was another young woman with big dreams and
15:15
the motivation to reach them, a political science student in her
15:19
senior year at Johnson, C Smith University in Charlotte.
15:22
She also found a way to balance working two jobs, she worked
15:25
part-time at a food line, which is a very popular grocery store
15:29
chain in the South similar to a safe way.
15:32
And another part-time job at hex, which was later rebranded
15:36
as Macy's at South Park Mall, All of her aspirations would
15:40
come to a screeching halt. On August 9th, 1993 when she
15:44
would face Henry Louis Wallace earlier that day, a friend of
15:49
hers. Zachary Douglas had asked if she
15:51
wanted to meet up later than night Zachary.
15:54
However, do not show up until the very early morning of August
15:57
10th when he arrived, he saw smoke bellowing out from
16:02
Valencia is apartment door key immediately turned the door to
16:05
find it unlocked and rushed inside.
16:07
The room was filled. Too much smoke for him to go any
16:09
further. So he knocked on her neighbor's
16:11
door and ask them to call the fire department upon entry.
16:15
A firefighter saw that one of the burners on the stove had
16:17
been left on based on analysis of the fire scene, including the
16:21
noted pattern of the fires Direction.
16:24
It was believed that the fire began from a pot that had been
16:26
left on the stove. Valencia jumpers, burned body
16:30
would soon be found lying in her bedroom initially.
16:33
It was believed to have been a terrible accident, but the
16:35
autopsy would show. Otherwise Dr. Sullivan, the same
16:39
forensic. Pathologist who had conducted
16:41
the autopsy on the two previous victims would perform Valencia's
16:45
as well. He immediately noticed that
16:48
there was no soot present in her Airway which proved there was
16:51
not a significant level of smoke inhalation, dr.
16:55
Sullivan will list the cause of death to be thermal Burns.
16:58
Since there was no presence of carbon monoxide in her blood.
17:03
After Wallace's confession, the cause of death.
17:05
Would later be changed to strangulation.
17:09
When Henry confessed a Balenciaga a murder he shared,
17:12
how she had been like a little sister to him and that they had
17:15
spent a lot of time together. The night, he killed her, they
17:19
had been hanging out while chatting her apartment and
17:22
Wallace initially left. He decided to return to ask her
17:26
to call his girlfriend Sadie, whom he claimed, he had just
17:29
gotten into a fight with when Valencia went to grab the phone.
17:32
He Stone her placing her in a Chokehold, he then forced her to
17:36
go to the bedroom and demanded that she take off her clothes.
17:39
Valencia, swore that she would do whatever he wanted, but just
17:42
to please don't hurt her. They had oral sex and vaginal
17:46
intercourse and afterwards. While she was pulling her
17:49
clothes back on Henry, ambushed her wrapping a towel, forcibly
17:53
around her neck. He choked her until Valencia
17:56
passed out on the floor. She was bleeding from her nose.
18:00
So Wallace applied, even more force of Round her neck with the
18:04
towel for another 5 minutes, until he did not feel her
18:07
breathing any longer, he then very methodically walked around
18:12
Valencia's apartment and clean his fingerprints off.
18:16
All the areas where he had been while in the kitchen, he spotted
18:21
a bottle of rum, which he poured all over.
18:23
Valencia's body, all over the bed and onto the floor,
18:27
returning to the kitchen. He opened up a can of beans,
18:31
poor them inside a pot, and Turn the stove, tops burner on high,
18:35
he removed the battery from the smoke detector lit a match in
18:38
the bedroom and threw it on to Valencia before leaving.
18:43
He stole Jewelry off her dead body, 20 minutes after leaving

19:53
even cut from the wall, he fled the apartment both.
19:57
Young boys and knocked on a neighbor's door to call the
19:59

20:06
offender had changed the young woman had been stabbed four

20:37
well as internally in the muscles of Michelle Stinson's
20:41
neck, it was concluded that Michelle's cause of death had
20:46
been stab wounds to the chest. In addition to strangulation the
20:50
modus operandi and the maliciousness of Henry, Louis
20:53
Wallace, had escalated in his confession.
20:57
He admitted that he intentionally went to Michelle's
21:00
apartment. Rape and murder her.
21:03
Now, this is the first time that Henry, Louise Wallace had been

When her Destiny would sadly become intertwined with that of
23:02
Henry. Louise, Wallace's on February
23:05
20th 1994 Barbara, be the grammar to her oldest daughter,
23:09
arrived at the apartment at 6 a.m. to pick her up as this was
23:13
the routine, every Sunday, so that Vanessa could go to work
23:17
upon entry. She saw that the four-month-old
23:19
baby was lying alone on the couch when she found strange and
23:23
she called for, for NASA. Was no response.
23:26
When she went into her bedroom, Barbara ripping notice Vanessa's
23:29
feet, hanging off the side of the bed.
23:31
Only her feet were exposed, but they looked gray and felt cold
23:35
to the touch. When officer Jeffrey Bumgarner
23:39
of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department discovered
23:41
Vanessa dead upon the bed. He noticed a towel had been
23:45
wrapped around her neck, and that she was bleeding from her
23:48
nose ears. And at the back of her head,
23:51
there was also a pocketbook with various Items scattered across
23:55
her bed on February 21st 1994, dr.
23:59
Sullivan wants more found evidence of strangulation and
24:02
observation of blunt force trauma.
24:04
The victim's neck had been strangled with a ligature
24:07
concocted of a long-sleeve pullover top and a towel,
24:11
another young, woman's life had been taken by Charlotte's Cyril
24:14
Strangler. When Henry Louise, wall has
24:17
confessed to these events, he admitted that his motivation was
24:20
driven by robbery, to get money for his addiction to cocaine.
24:24
And that he I planned to kill her Wallace as he did.
24:27
So many times before had attempted to hug his victim,
24:30
prior to administering his Infamous choke hold.
24:33
But, apparently, Vanessa was not interested in hugging him.
24:37
So when she turned her back to honor his frequent request for a
24:40
drink, he pulled out a pillowcase, he brought with him
24:44
and wrapped it tightly around her neck.
24:46
When Vanessa resisted, he placed more pressure around her neck
24:50
and told her that she was being robbed.
24:52
He pulled her into her bedroom and demanded that she hand over
24:56
all of her money, including her ATM card alone with the pain.
25:01
Henry, Louise Wallace, then forced her to take off her
25:03
clothes and have sex with him as we have heard from this
25:07
perpetrator before, he told her to get dressed and when she did,
25:12
he tightened the pillowcase again around her neck, this time
25:15
adding an additional piece of clothing to squeeze it even
25:19
tighter until she stopped breathing.
25:22
Wallace went into the baby's room who had awakened and waited
25:26
until the child fell asleep before leaving later
25:29
investigators, were discovered that Vanessa Mac had given him
25:32
the incorrect information about her ATM card.
25:36
Since he had attempted several times without success to
25:39
retrieve money with it. Murderous 7, Betty baucom only a
25:44
few weeks later on. March, 19. 1994 Betty baucom.
25:48
Who is the assistant manager? At a Bojangles restaurant.
25:51
Never showed up for her. Left.
25:53
Jeffrey Ellis, who was her boss. Their attempted several times to
25:57
reach her without any response. He eventually reached out to her
26:00
co-workers and then to her mother, none of whom had heard
26:04
from Buddy. The next day, when Betty did not
26:07
appear at work again, Allison, a concerned co-worker drove over
26:11
to her apartment, they knocked on the door and even looked in
26:14
the windows but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
26:17
So they left her boss. Reached out to Betty's mother
26:20
again, who still had not her back from her daughter so
26:23
together, they decided to call the police and report.
26:26
Her Officially Missing Betty became would be found lying face
26:30
down on her bed with a towel wrapped around her neck by an
26:33
officer at the scene. When dr.
26:36
Sullivan performed. This autopsy, it was apparent
26:39
that another young woman had suffered from blunt force trauma
26:42
and strangulation at the hands of the Sierra perpetrator this
26:47
time. However, there were clear signs
26:48
of a real struggle between the victim and her killer.
26:52
There were abrasions on her left shoulder.
26:54
Her arms, the upper right part of her chest, her abdomen and an
26:58
injury to the Head. The autopsy also revealed that
27:02
blood had built up inside her lungs.
27:04
There's enlargement of the Brain and small hemorrhages in the
27:07
front of her neck and the lining of the voice box.
27:11
This victim had done everything possible to stop her murderer,
27:15
but sadly, she could not Henry Lee wheeze.
27:18
Wallace later told investigators how he went to bed, he becomes
27:21
housed. Under the guise of using her
27:23
phone. They chatted for a while and
27:25
we'll Wallace got ready to leave.
27:27
He put her in a Chokehold to what she then fell to the floor.
27:31
He demanded her alarm code, her car keys and the combination to
27:35
the safe Bojangles after 30 minutes of maintaining the
27:39
Chokehold on her. She gave in and she was
27:42
released. She asked him why he did that to
27:45
her and according to Wallace, he told Betty that he was a sick
27:48
person and that he had caused harm to many other people.
27:53
Betty balcombe returned, his admission of guilt by hugging
27:57
him. She told him that she forgave
28:00
him but that he needed help. This triggered a rage inside
28:05
Wallace and he slammed Betty to the floor with his hand on her
28:09
throat and a struggle ensued. Can we pulled Betty to her feet
28:14
and told her to take her clothes off?
28:16
She told him that she had a medical problem, a rash and that
28:19
she did not want to undress, he then demanded that she perform
28:22
oral sex on him. Betty grabbed his penis and
28:25
started to pull on it and scratch out him, she managed to
28:29
rip her teeth into his shoulder and leave scratches on his
28:32
stomach. Henry, Louis Wallace.
28:35
Then grabbed a towel and strangled her with it until she
28:38
had almost passed out. He forcibly removed her clothes
28:41
and raped her place. The towel back around her neck
28:45
and asked her for money. Betty gave Wallace the money.
28:49
She had her purse and then he strangled her, he ripped off the
28:53
gold chain. She adorned around her neck,
28:55
stole her TV and vcr and took off in her car later, he would
29:01
return to Betty's apartment too. Ensure that she was in fact dead
29:06
while he was there. He carefully and methodically
29:09
wiped off all his fingerprints from the phone, the doorknob and
29:13
the wall where they had fought, he drove around in her vehicle
29:16
for two days, but then he became paranoid that officers were
29:20
watching him. So he decided to leave in the
29:22
parking lot of her apartment complex.
29:24
However, before Henley Louise Wallace abandoned the vehicle,
29:29
he cleaned off the majority of the interior and exterior of the
29:32
car, but he Forgot one important detail, he neglected to wipe
29:37
down the lid of the trunk as his murders.
29:40
Escalated his patterns and motifs up around.
29:43
I continue to increase in erratic behavior and some may
29:47
say he became careless disorganized and sloppy.
29:53

29:58
mother to a 10-month a little boy.
30:00
TW with her boyfriend. For nests Lamar Woods on the

30:24
midnight, he found their Apartments door was unlocked.
30:28
When he entered objects have been thrown around the living
30:30
room area and the stereo was gone immediately concerned.
30:34
He rushed his infant son's bedroom and turn on the light
30:38
inside for nest discovered in horror, his child struggling to
30:41
breathe, a pair of shorts, have been wrapped tightly around the

30:51
girlfriend, then the mother of his son, Was lying face down on
30:54
the bed, one of our Nest rolled Brandy over there were towels,
30:58

Her windpipe and immediately began to perform CPR with the
31:07

31:13
The young mother was deceased, and her infant son, rushed to
31:16
the hospital. All of the child TW had stable
31:20
vitals his brain functioning had become Compromised due to the
31:24
lack of blood flow from the ligature thankfully within, half
31:28
an hour, the little boy gradually became more alert and
31:31
engage with his environment. At least, there were some good
31:35
news for Brandy's family, the autopsy on his mother would
31:39
reveal evidence of strangulation and minor blunt force trauma.
31:43
Just like the other victims before her.
31:46
Henry, Louis Wallace admitted to having planned Brandi's murder
31:51
and how he had expected executed that morning.
31:54
But since her boyfriend Furness was there he abandoned his
31:57
original plans and murdered Betty baucom instead he would
32:02
later return to Brandis apartment to commit.
32:05
Her murder that same night as most of Wallace's killings would
32:09
unfold. He and the victim hung out for a
32:11
while. And when he asked for a drink,
32:14
he took her by surprise Seen her in a Chokehold and instructed
32:18
her to go to the bedroom when he told her, that he was there to
32:22
rob her and demanded her money. Brandi offered him a Pringles
32:25
can which hold about $20 of coins inside Brandi begged
32:30
walls, to let her hold and comfort, her son TW, she held
32:34
her so close to her chest and turned his small head to the
32:37
side. So he would not see Wallace
32:40
forcing himself upon her when TW began to cry, they went to the
32:45
child's bedroom too. Continue having sex with her
32:47
son. Still lying upon her chest.
32:50
After he assaulted Brandi Wallace grabbed a towel to wipe
32:53
everything down. He then rolled at the toe and
32:55
proceeded to twist it around her neck strangling, her her limp
33:00
body fell to the floor Wallace. Picked her up and place your
33:04
body on the bed with her child. TW the child continue to wail
33:10
Wallace initially, tried to find something to stop him from
33:12
crying at first. He attempted to stop his cries
33:15
with his past. A fire and then look to find him
33:18
something to drink, he couldn't find anything.
33:21
So instead he grabbed a towel and wrap it tightly around the
33:24
infant's neck, the little boy TW had stopped crying now and laid
33:29
down next to his mom's dead body before, leaving the scene of the
33:33
crime Wallace, told her stereo and TV some delivery food and
33:40
the Pringles container of coins murder 9, Deborah Slaughter.
33:46
Only three days after the murder of Brandy Henderson.
33:48
The talkable Strangler of Charlotte would strike again
33:53
after arriving to her apartment to return.
33:54
A photo to her daughter, the mother of Deborah Slaughter
33:57
found the door unlocked. She discovered her daughter's
34:00
body lying on the floor and called 911 upon entry to the
34:05
scene. The officer saw a purse with its
34:07
contents thrown around the floor.
34:09
The young woman had a piece of white fabric which was later
34:12
identified to be a sock shopped into her.
34:15
A mouth and a towel had been used to strangle her.
34:18
There were also multiple stab wounds visible to her chest, the
34:22
autopsy a few days later would reveal the same modus operandi
34:27
of strangulation and blunt force trauma, as his other victims,
34:31
as, in the case of body baucom, this victim had also been
34:34
stabbed. However, there was a noticeable
34:37
escalation. It needs cess of Miss of
34:39
violence used as evidenced by the number of wounds, this woman
34:43
had been stabbed 38 Eight times, which indicated increase in the
34:48
level of Rage, the perpetrator had inflicted upon his victim.
34:53
What initially appeared to be a simple visit to Deborah
34:55
Slaughters house to partake in some mutual drug use turned much
35:00
darker. While in Henry, Louise Wallace
35:02
is presence. Deborah had expressed to Henry
35:05
that she did not have the funds to purchase drugs since she
35:08
needed to stretch her cash throughout the week.
35:12
Once again, like he seemed to choreograph each time Wallace
35:15
asked for a drink from his victim, then without any
35:18
warning, he ambushed ever taking a towel.
35:20
He had brought along with him and wrapped it tightly around
35:23
her neck. The victim fell to her knees
35:27
according to Wallace, Deborah had just put the pieces together
35:30
and realize that he was the one who killed the two girls in the
35:34
neighboring apartment. When Wallace demanded that, she
35:36
take her clothes off, and perform oral sex on him.
35:40
She told them that she does not do Ooh, that.
35:42
And that he may as well just kill her as he tightened.
35:45
The grip upon the towel. He asked, if she wanted to
35:48
change her mind but Debra refused, he then raped her.
35:53
And when he remembered that, she always carried a knife on her.
35:56
He asked her to empty out her purse Wallace.
35:59
Kicked the knife to the side and demanded.
36:01
She gave him everything inside her wallet.
36:04
Deborah struck out at him and screamed out for help.
36:06
He squeezed the Tau tighter around her neck, until she
36:09
collapsed to the floor and began.
36:11
Kicking at him, while his brought another towel back from
36:14
the bathroom and tied it to the one around her neck.
36:18
Then he picked up her knife and stabbed Deborah in the stomach
36:22
repeatedly. He then went to her sink rinse,
36:27
the blood and his fingerprints off of the knife and laid it
36:31
with the rest of the items from her purse on the floor.
36:35
Henry, Louise Wallace left to purchase, some crack cocaine and
36:38
the return to Deborah's apartment and smoked it there.
36:44
Now, prior to Betty becomes body being discovered detectives have
36:47
begun to see common threads between the homicide victims,
36:50
Brandy Henderson, and Vanessa Mac.
36:53
Both victims were our young African American females from
36:57
working, their class backgrounds.
36:59
And there have been no evidence of forced entry, this indicated
37:03
that they most likely knew their perpetrator and possibly even
37:07
trusted the person strangulation by the use of ligatures, were
37:11
found to be the case of both deaths at last on March 10th.
37:15
1994 investigators will come together to collaborate on these
37:20
seemingly related, murders. It was then that they realized
37:24
Was another victim Betty baucom whose murder shared similar
37:28
traits to Max. And Henderson's, when the
37:32
families and friends of the victims were asked by homicide
37:35
investigators, who would have been welcomed into these ladies
37:38
Apartments? They spotted a common name when
37:44
detectives joined forces with one another on who all the
37:46
victims. Knew a light Shone upon their
37:49
investigation. They had attempted without
37:51
success to string together, the murders by known relation.
37:54
Bishop's to each other, but none of the women appeared to be
37:57
directly acquainted. Instead, through shared
38:01
information by the police, it was discovered that there was an
38:04
individual all victims have in common Henry, Louis Wallace, two
38:10
of his victims, Shawna Hawk and Audrey.
38:12
Spain had worked at Taco Bell at different times under the same
38:16
manager who had been Henry, Louis Wallace, Michelle Stenson
38:20
was a regular customer at Taco Bell and would often make small
38:24
talk with him. Valencia jumper was known to be
38:27
friends with Henry's younger sister.
38:28
Yvonne, Vanessa Mac was one of his former girlfriend sisters
38:33
Betty baucom was a friend of his girlfriend Sadie McKnight.
38:36
Brandy Henderson was the girlfriend of one of Henry's
38:39
friends for nests, Lamar Woods who informed.
38:42
The police, the Henry often came to visit with Brandi.
38:45
Well, he was gonna work. Caroline love was his
38:49
girlfriend's roommate Henry Louise.
38:51
Wallace's girlfriend, CD McKnight was initially very shy.
38:55
Shocked and in disbelief over Henry being a suspected serial
38:59
killer. However, once you put the pieces
39:02
together, she saw how, this could be true Henry had been
39:06
taking trophies from his victims, like Rings, bracelets
39:10
and necklaces, and giving them to his girlfriend.
39:14
CD it. Dawned on her that she had been
39:17
wearing jewelry from some of her murdered girlfriends.
39:22
When Betty becomes vehicle was located on March 11th and 94 a
39:26
palm print was found on the trunk lid since Henry.
39:29
Louis Wallace was now deemed a viable suspect.
39:32
They compared his fingerprints to the palm print and the crime.
39:35
Lab found a match. There was already an outstanding
39:39
warrant for larceny charge on him.
39:41
So the police began an extensive search for Henry.
39:44
Louise Wallace when Deborah Slaughters body was found on
39:48
March 12th. The investigators learned that
39:50
the crime scene. Exhibited similar elements to
39:53
all three of their other victims.
39:55
Eames that same evening the perpetrator would be arrested on
39:58
his outstanding. Warrant investigators finally
40:01
had their primary suspect in custody Henry, Louis Wallace,
40:07
stood, six, feet tall, weighed around 200 pounds and had a
40:10
pleasant round smiling face. Adorned in glasses.
40:14
So he was not an intimidating character.
40:17
He was known for his Intelligence being kind and
40:19
helpful and had 11 May referred to as a big teddy bear appeal.
40:25
Investigators were taken back by how calm polite intelligent kind
40:31
and non-threatening. This suspected serial killer was
40:36
investigator. Tony Rice of
40:38
Charlotte-Mecklenburg PD conducted the interview with
40:41
Wallace whom he apparently already knew when detective rice
40:45
inquired about walls his girlfriend stating McKnight
40:47
Henry became upset and emotional and begged to be able to see
40:52
her. Detective rice told him that he
40:55
would see what he could do. If Wallace would talk to him, he
40:59
then prayed with Wallace, who cried during the prayer and
41:03
afterwards, wrote down all of the women.
41:05
He had murdered over 10 hours of recorded, confessions of the
41:11
homicides, Henry, Louis Wallace committed, he would provide to
41:16
the police including very specific details of each case.
41:22
The police informed him during questioning that they had in
41:24
their possession evidence which directly connected him to the
41:29
scene of the crimes, the police had images of him on the ATM
41:33
camera attempting, use banessa max, ATM card and the palm print
41:37
he left behind on the trunk lid of Betty becomes vehicle.
41:42
Henry, Louise Wallace within a few hours confessed to killing.
41:46
Love Hawk. Spain, jumper, Stenson Mac
41:52
baucom Henderson and Slaughter. With the goal of preserving
41:59
Henry. Louise Wallace's life, the
42:01
defense counsel was formidable in their approach of building a
42:04
case around his mental state in particular Colonel.
42:08
Robert key wrestler from the FBI's Behavioral Science unit,
42:12
who coined the term serial killer and doctor and W.
42:17
Burg has a specialist and psychosocial development
42:20
testified to the psychological state of the defendant.
42:24
Kono wrestler, testified that he believed Henry, Louise Wallace's
42:28
use of organizational and dis organizational.
42:31
Elements of the crimes were indicative of his being
42:34
psychologically, unstable, dr. Berg has testified that Wallace
42:40
was incapable of deciphering reality from fantasy.
42:44
What she believed was due to his suffering from a mental health
42:47
condition. However, all of his defense,
42:50
counsel's efforts were in vain, on January, Evans 1997, all 12
42:56
jurors would find the defendant Henry.
42:58
Louise Wallace guilty on all nine counts of first-degree
43:01
murder based on the malice premeditation and deliberation
43:05
of each crime. He was also found guilty on
43:08
several other charges including but not exclusive to
43:11
first-degree rape robbery with a dangerous weapon and they
43:15
attempted murder for the strangulation of TW.
43:18
Brandi, Henderson's 10 month, old son, three weeks later, the
43:23
jury. He made a recommendation of the
43:25
death penalty for his sentence, which the judge agreed to.
43:30
He sentence, Henry Louise, Wallace, 29, death sentences for
43:34
each woman's life. He had taken now, under our
43:38
constitution, it is an absolutely mandatory right.
43:42
That any person given a sentence of the death penalty is
43:45
automatically given the right to appeal after he was convicted
43:50
Henry, Louise Wallace, argued that his constitutional rights
43:53
of Due process protected, under the fifth and fourteenth
43:57
amendments and his rights to notice.
43:59
And trial by jury under the Sixth had all been violated.
44:04
The appellant that is the defendant in the Appellate case,
44:08
argued that the short form indictments violated these
44:11
Amendment. Since they did not differentiate
44:14
between first-degree fences and that of second-degree the
44:18
Supreme Court of North Carolina disagreed with us and pointed
44:21
out that the nine indictments for murder held.
44:24
The same language which was modified to fit each specific
44:27
murder, he committed with different dates of the homicides
44:31
and different names of his victims.
44:34
The jury found as described by first-degree homicide they Henry
44:38
Louise Wallace had unlawfully willfully and feloniously and of
44:43
malice aforethought killed and murdered each individual victim.
44:49
The appellant also attempted to argue that his rights were
44:51
violated by the pre-trial. Publicity which created
44:55
Prejudice and provoked, rage in the community who represented
44:59
the jury members Henry, Louis Wallace requested that the trial
45:04
court change of venue on a minimum of three different
45:07
occasions, all which he was denied.
45:11
The appellant further claimed that his rights were violated
45:14
since he was manipulated and tricked into giving a
45:17
confession. Since the investigator, told him
45:19
that he could see his girlfriend, Katie McKnight.
45:22
If he talked to him about the crimes, this argument was also
45:28
denied by the Supreme Court of North Carolina.
45:30
Who disagreed that any of his rights during interrogation had
45:33
violated, he had been read his Miranda, Rights was given food
45:37
and drink the opportunity to use the restroom and was I rented
45:41
several hours to sleep before seeing the judge his attempts to
45:45
overturn his conviction and fusses death penalty sentence
45:49
had been unsuccessful. Although met with great
45:53
resistance, Henry, Louise Wallace would eventually confess
45:56
to the first girl, he murdered back in his hometown a Barnwell.
46:01
South Carolina in 1992 Shonda Bethea was only 17 years old.
46:07
When Wallace took her life on March 18th 1990.
46:12
Wallace was driving down the road when he spotted a young
46:15
girl walking, he confessed to how he picked her up, took her
46:18
to an isolated spot in the woods, raped her at gunpoint
46:22
strangled, her cut, her wrists and throat, and then disposed of
46:26
her body in the pond. He also confessed to murdering a
46:31
sex worker named Sharon Nance. In Charlotte, North Carolina in
46:35
May 1992 but very few details around this case.
46:39
From any legitimate resource could be uncovered, although
46:43
never proven to be true Henry Louise Wallace claims to have
46:48
killed women all over the world. Why on his different ports of
46:52
call in the Navy at the thirties estimate?
46:55
That the accurate number of his victims is close to 20.
46:59
With the only death row unit in North Carolina being in Raleigh
47:03
Wallace. Now calls Central Prison his
47:05
forever home, although it should be shocking to hear.
47:09
We all know how murderers and rapists have their fangirls and
47:12
Fanboys. And while serving his sentence
47:15
in Central Prison Henry, Louise Wallace found himself a new
47:19
bride in 1998, a former prisoners named Rebecca Tobias,
47:24
whom he had met in 1994 shortly after being arrested for the
47:28
murders, Mary. Him in a small room next to the
47:30
death chamber although they have never been allowed to consummate
47:34
their marriage, Rebecca frequently visits him.
47:38
Now this particular case has found itself under deep scrutiny
47:41
for its investigation, from the perspective of both shoddy
47:45
police work and law. Enforcement's neglect for a
47:47
marginalized group of victims. This investigation was under
47:51
heavy criticism by both the media and the public Personally,
47:57
I think that it would be too easy to blame law enforcement
48:00
for not catching the serial killer sooner due to a racist,
48:03
police force, or neglectful investigators, for ignoring the
48:07
obvious connections, the victim shared, and the clear patterns
48:10
of the perpetrator. Why you may wonder do I say this
48:14
because the reality of the circumstances of the case are
48:18
much more complicated in this and should not be pushed aside.
48:23
With only seven investigator, spread thin across an Ever
48:27
growing Metropolitan City, the police force were not.
48:31
Well versed in serial killers, complex, modus operandi, and
48:35
we're not equipped to handle either of them.
48:38
Each murder had been treated as an isolated crime with a
48:42
different investigator on each one.
48:45
The investigators did not communicate with one another on
48:48
the cases. So any potential similarities
48:51
between them or not known? Just the details of each
48:55
killings were not being shared. Another main reason why police
49:00
failed to see any connections even after finally, getting the
49:04
FBI involved, is that the modus operandi of Henley Reeves
49:07
Wallace did not fit within the profile of meal serial killers
49:12
studies on the differences between female serial killers
49:15
versus male. Serial killers have revealed a
49:18
hunter versus gatherer approach. Men who are serial murderers.
49:23
Almost always follow the hunter profile, they watch from afar
49:27
stock and capture their prey who are predominantly strangers, not
49:31
people within their personal life or whom they know very
49:34
well, female serial killers on the other hand.
49:38
Our gatherers, they learn in those closest around them
49:41
manipulate and methodically murder victims through this
49:45
lens. One can understand how the
49:47
crimes were not have been immediately linked because his
49:51
victims were his close, friends, acquaintances and even
49:55
co-workers male. Serial killers don't typically
49:59
kill people within their immediate circle.
50:02
This is an extremely rare modus operandi for a male serial
50:06
killer In addition, especially at this time, it was unheard of
50:11
for an African-American man to be a serial killer.
50:15
They had all up to this point believed to have been white.
50:19
Men statistics have shown only the results of studies vary the
50:24
serial killers, who are African-American represent
50:26
somewhere between 13 to 20 percent.
50:30
This demographic of a serial murderer is much higher than the
50:33
media acknowledges them to be, which undoubtedly has an impact.
50:37
Act upon the perception and actions of law enforcement in a
50:42
study done in 2004. There were at least 130 African
50:46
American serial killers who are identified within the past
50:50
Century, yet very little of them are mentioned in the media
50:54
sources of literature and film both fictional and documentary
50:58
and they are rarely the focus of research or case studies.
51:03
Henry Lee Lewis Wallace's pattern of hunting was wildly
51:07
different, from the traditional profile of a male serial killer,
51:11
who typically Prey Upon strangers and choose their
51:14
victims away from their personal, intimate Social
51:16
Circles. In the case of Henry, Louise
51:20
Wallace, he directly knew all of his victims, some even
51:24
intimately, and they all lived and worked with only a few miles
51:29
of where he lived. It is also important to discuss
51:32
and view this case through a lens of criminology.
51:35
In particular, the life experiences motivations and
51:39
triggers of the perpetrator in no way does an abusive or
51:44
deprave childhood condone the actions of anyone who Mises
51:48
others. It can though, help to shine a
51:51
light upon their upbringing, their mental state and life
51:54
circumstances which can provoke a perpetrators offenses,
51:59
understanding how a person's background and the chapters in
52:03
their life, have helped to shape and influence them in.
52:05
Their crimes is extremely important to help identify their
52:09
character traits warning, signs and behavior.
52:13
Extensive research has revealed that abuse neglect and an
52:18
unhealthy exposure to sex and, or violence, or common factor
52:22
shared across serial killers. Henry, Louis.
52:25
Wallace was born on November 4th, 1965 and Barnwell, South
52:30
Carolina. He grew up in an exceptionally
52:33
poor living conditions. His mother was better and
52:37
tainted by her own, life's sorrows, and disappointments,
52:41
and she exerted her own pain. And Anger on to Henry and his
52:45
older sister Yvonne Henry's mother had given birth to and
52:48
raised both of her children on her own.
52:50
Since their father, was a married, High School teacher,
52:53
their home had no running water or electricity, their source of
52:58
water, including that for drinking came from a pump.
53:01
Well, the restroom was an old Watershed would chamber pots,
53:06
which Henry was given at the chore of disposing of daily
53:10
along with his mother. He and his sister Also lived
53:13
with his grandmother and great-grandmother.
53:16
The women in Henry's life were harsh disciplinarian.
53:21
They beat berated and chastise Henry, as a taller, when he had
53:26
an accident in his pants, which left him petrified, this often
53:31
led to him having more accidents and then doing his best to cover
53:36
it up. Henry, and his sister Yvonne
53:39
both were spanked by switches, which their mother forced them
53:42
to select and on her really bad days.
53:46
She forced them to beat one another with the whips.
53:50
According to a pre-sentence investigation report Henry,
53:53
claimed that his mother had sex with various men in the house in
53:57
front of him. She also exposed him to explicit
54:00
pornography and True Crime. Detective magazines, which some
54:04
psychiatrist believe had a negative impact upon his
54:07
psychological health and sexual abuse towards women.
54:11
Henry's older years were pretty much normal and uneventful.
54:15
He achieved mediocre grades, but was well liked by both teachers
54:19
and His fellow classmates. He had been forbidden by his
54:22
mother to play football. So he became a cheerleader
54:25
instead. It's 6 feet tall Henry could
54:28
have been the brunt of many jokes out on the field but the
54:31
opposite was said to be true the entire School.
54:34
Praised him for his fun attitude and Imagination and the
54:38
cheerleaders praised him for how polite and positive he was after
54:43
graduation higher education did not fare well for him.
54:46
So he found his way into the radio Studio naming himself.
54:49
The Knight Rider at a local radio station apparently he was
54:54
very well received and it may have been the beginning of a
54:57
positive career path for Henry. But he was fired for stealing
55:01
CDs this pattern of theft and deceit would increasingly become
55:06
more of a staple and Henry Louise Wallace's life.
55:11
Shortly after and 1984 Henry Louise Wallace decided to enlist
55:16
in the US Navy and would be active for eight years.
55:19
Interestingly enough, he had found his place in the military
55:23
being called an outstanding Seaman by his fellow crewmen.
55:26
They said, he was obedient compliant diligent with his
55:30
duties and was highly intelligent.
55:32
However, in 1992, his success screeched to a halt when he was
55:37
caught breaking and entering near the Naval Base.
55:40
He was Allowed to leave an honorable discharge.
55:43
Despite this fact since prior to this incident, he had had a
55:47
perfect record. During this time, he had also
55:50
fallen in love with and married. A girl who had a child from a
55:53
previous relationship. Wish he had embraced as his own,
55:57
Henry was devastated. When his wife mereta left him
56:00
once? He was discharged from the Navy,
56:02
his life was piling up with disappointments, sorrow,
56:06
failures and pain left with few options, Henry, To Charlotte,
56:11
North Carolina to live with his mother and sister.
56:14
He turned to drugs, more and more as a release from his pain
56:18
of losing mereta and wasting a promising future in the Navy.
56:23
It is noted in studies how Henry Louise Wallace fell apart in his
56:27
modus operandi, becoming increasingly more disorganized
56:31
and erratic, which led to his being caught.
56:35
The roots of this have been linked to the escalation of his
56:37
addiction to crack cocaine. His dependents are Narcotics
56:41
caused him to be less methodical and not as careful when cleaning
56:44
up the crime scene to conceal, his presence as he had done.
56:48
So it is really a crimes. Unlike some of his first victims
56:52
whom he would bathe or redress in his later killings he was
56:57
sloppy neglectful and left evidence behind which would link
57:01
him to the homicides. It was also observed that as his
57:06
murders continued, he chose women who were larger, which
57:09
according to wall has made them more Troublesome since they were
57:13
stronger and resisted harder, this likely impacted his methods
57:17
and approach and taking their lives, which led to more
57:20
brutality being implemented and their deaths before him.
57:25
We Louise Wallace was caught, he murdered three women within 72
57:30
hours, which is an almost unheard of timeframe for A
57:33
Killers to accumulate victims. These murders were conducted in
57:38
a way of a spree killer. Instead of a calculated serial
57:42
killer this realistically increase the likelihood that has
57:46
been found to make himself even more prone to being captured by
57:50
law enforcement to of these three victims lived within the
57:55
same apartment complex. Henry's drug, you seem to have
58:00
pushed his rage towards women that I've been brewing inside
58:03
him for years, over the edge. A murderer who had once been
58:08
extremely organized diligent and highly methodical have become an
58:13
unhinged Maniac who left evidence everywhere.
58:18
Henry Louise Wallace was either so arrogant that he thought he
58:22
would never get caught or he was so consumed by his hatred of
58:26
women that his actions could. No longer be applied with any
58:30
Russian out or calculation. Wallace also said that when he
58:36
was a young man, he was sexually used by several women in his
58:39
community. Psychiatrist believed that he
58:43
was so severely desperate for love and affection that he
58:47
accepted this exploitation since it was a form of attention.
58:53
It seems pretty obvious that except for his relationship with
58:56
his sister, there was nothing positive or nurturing about the
59:00
women who had dictated Henry's life.
59:04
Wallace was diagnosed with sexual disorders, depression and
59:08
a personality disorder. He admitted to a psychologist
59:12
that he committed upwards of 100 rapes during his lifetime.
59:18
Please note that I am not a licensed therapist or
59:21
psychiatrist but my degree and the coursework I took in sex.
59:25
Crimes exposed me to a lot of pertinent information.
59:29
In this area, research has shown that rapist more often than not,
59:34
come from backgrounds of abuse, both emotionally, and physically
59:38
and violence is present within their home versus other kinds of
59:43
sex. Offenders crime.
59:44
Reports have also indicated that they come in a wide.
59:48
Righty of criminal acts in particular, thefts and robbery
59:52
which are often connected to their drug.
59:54
Use a famous typology of rapist is found in growths 1979 study,
1:00:01
which identified three kinds of rapists.
1:00:04
Growths theory is that rape contains three, primary elements
1:00:08
being power, anger and sexuality.
1:00:12
Which determine the three. Distinct kinds power rapist use
1:00:16
sexuality as a way to communicate.
1:00:18
Kate possession power and control.
1:00:22
Anger. Rapist use sexuality in a
1:00:24
hostile Manner and sadistic rapists, often used both
1:00:27
violence and sex in a way that the combination of the two is
1:00:31
what turns them on, no of these primary type apologies for
1:00:36
rapists. Based on how Henry, Louise
1:00:38
Wallace described, his own motivation.
1:00:41
In addition, to the circumstances of each crime, it
1:00:44
appears that Wallace fits within anger retaliatory, Also referred
1:00:49
to as the Revenge rapist. This type of individual utilizes
1:00:53
rape as a way to convey their hostility towards women.
1:00:57
They view rape through the lens of Justified punishment and use
1:01:01
it to calm the rage. This type of sex crime, offender
1:01:05
tends to be physically violent and is considered the most rare
1:01:09
of the three typology. He's It was suggested by Henry
1:01:14
psychiatrist that the abuse he suffered from women his whole
1:01:17
life distorted his psychological development to the extent, but
1:01:22
he justified his vicious acts against them with the belief
1:01:25
that he was their victim. It has been reported that Henry
1:01:30
even referred to himself more than once as a male Avenger who
1:01:34
would righted the wrongs done to him and other men by women.
1:01:39
Henry, Louis Wallace said that he was driven primarily by
1:01:43
sexual gratification power and control.
1:01:48
Although he was a serial killer, he was first a rapist.
1:01:52
And for this reason a criminological profile of the
1:01:55
kind of rapist. He is is crucial to understand
1:01:59
his motivations and how in his own mind Henry Louise Wallace
1:02:04
Justified his behavior at the end of the day.
1:02:09
Henry Louis Wallace is completely responsible for his
1:02:12
own actions, but all of these variables which help to manifest
1:02:17
his rage And Trigger his violent and homicidal Behavior should
1:02:22
not be ignored. No one except Wallace knows if
1:02:26
something. Or someone could have
1:02:28
potentially shifted the direction of his violent path.
1:02:33
He placed a veil over, countless people's eyes in his life and
1:02:38
tricked them into believing. He was someone they could trust.
1:02:42
But from what we know of him as a child and as a young man, he
1:02:47
was that type of person. Henry was known for being kind
1:02:53
intelligent and gentle with others but things change with
1:02:57
his drug abuse, depression and rage taking him into the darkest
1:03:03
depths of humanity in his own words.
1:03:06
He said there was a good Henry and a bad Henry, it is critical
1:03:12
that we as a society pay attention to signs of someone
1:03:15
who is suffering from depression from drug addiction and who is
1:03:19
patterns of Lynch and criminal activity throughout their life.
1:03:24
It should be a community requirement.
1:03:26
That if we see or even think that a child is suffering from
1:03:30
violence and abuse in their home that we take action to ensure
1:03:34
that child is safe in spirit mind and body.
1:03:38
No one thing or one person is to blame for these tragic deaths
1:03:43
except for the literal hands of Henry, Louise Wallace but I
1:03:48
can't help but think this person could have been saved from their
1:03:53
Darkness. Thank you so much for listening.
1:03:57
I appreciate your being here with me and I am beyond thrilled
1:04:01
to be your host. Please feel free to let me know
1:04:04
your thoughts and feelings on this perpetrator and this case,
1:04:08
what do you believe led to so many women be murdered before
1:04:11
the perpetrator was caught was it that law enforcement was
1:04:15
incompetent and inexperienced were these young
1:04:19
African-American women going missing and murdered not being
1:04:22
prioritized or was it the complicated?
1:04:25
David and uncommon modus operandi of Henry, Louise
1:04:29
Wallace that led to all of these women being killed before.
1:04:32
He could be discovered and stopped until next time, stay
1:04:38
safe and watch out for Shades of murder unfolding in the streets,
1:04:42
next door and especially inside your own home.
