• 0:49
  Speaker 1: At eight forty am on July seventh, nineteen sixty seven,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a seventeen year old girl named Nancy McEwen was driving
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: along a highway in Brooklyn, New York. She was on
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: her way to her job as a secret terry at
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: her dad's office in Brooklyn, and she was coming from
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: her home in Long Island, New York. Now, the commute
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to her office took about an hour, but Nancy didn't
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: mind because her dad had just got her this beautiful,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: brand new yellow Camaro and she loved driving it. And
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the highway she was on had this amazing view of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the beach and ocean down below, and so that day
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Nancy rolled down her window so she could feel the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: ocean breeze as she drove, and then she took in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a deep breath and she smiled. At the same time
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Nancy was doing this, a police lieutenant was driving in
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: his car a couple cars back from Nancy, and as
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he was just driving along, he suddenly sees this yellow
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Camaro that to this point had been driving completely normally,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: suddenly veer off the road, miraculously missed the oncoming cars,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and then smashed into a tree on the side of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the road. And so the police lieutenant instinctively jammed on
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: his brakes and veered over to the shoulder and stopped
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: behind the Camaro. And as the lieutenant got out of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the car, he was thinking, clearly, the driver must have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: just had some kind of medical emergency, because he didn't
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: see any obstacles in the road, and you know, the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: car of the Camaro had been driving completely normally to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that point, so like, what would cause them to veer
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and crash into the road at such a high speed
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: other than a medical emergency? And so the lieutenant jumps
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: out of the car, runs over to the driver's side window,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and he looks inside and he sees this teenage girl,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: this blonde teenage girl, and she's slumped over the wheel,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and she's not looking up at him. She's not making
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: any sound, she's just sitting there. And so he opens
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: up the door and he asks her, like, are you okay?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And she didn't say anything, but she did moan, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so she was breathing. She was alive, and there weren't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: any obvious physical injuries, Like clearly, she's just crashed into
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this tree at high speed, so she's definitely shaken up,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but there weren't any obvious grievous injuries that have occurred here,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: at least none that he could see. And so he
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: asked her again, like, hey, are you okay? What's going
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on here? And she just continued to moan. And so again,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: considering he's looking at her, and she seems, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: basically okay, all things considered, he thought, you know, maybe
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: she's drunk. I mean, that would kind of explain, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the sudden veering off the road. And so at this point,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the lieutenant radioed for backup and also called for an ambulance,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and while he waited, he began searching the car, just
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: basically looking to see if maybe there was some clue
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in the car as to what happened here, like, for example,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: containers of alcohol. And so he's looking around and he
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't see any empty bottles, and he can't smell any
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: alcohol in the car. But still this whole time, the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: girl is not responding. She's just moaning and just kind
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of slumped over there. And then a couple of minutes
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: later he hears sirens and he looks up and a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: bunch of first responders came over. They pulled the girl
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: out of the car, got her in the ambulance, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: off to the hospital she went. Once Nancy got to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the hospital, medical staff was able to determine that she
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: was not drunk, but she did clearly appear to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: having some kind of medical emergency, but they didn't know
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: what it was. And again, there was no visible injuries
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on her. I mean, she just basically looked really shaken
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: up and was non responsive. And quickly after Nancy was
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at the hospital, her condition only got worse, to the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: point where doctors were giving her shots of adrenaline to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: try to keep her alive, but it didn't work. At
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: eleven thirty am, roughly two and a half hours after
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Nancy crashed.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Into the tree, she died.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And it was only then, after Nancy was dead, that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the medical staff made a discovery something they had totally
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: missed when Nancy had first came in, and that was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on the back of her head, hidden amongst her hair
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was a small circular hole. It was a bullet wound,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and for some reason, it didn't bleed at all. Clearly,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Nancy did not just randomly veer off the road and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: smash into a tree.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: No, she had been shot.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: About thirty minutes after this discovery was made, a detective
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: named Albert Seedman was standing next to Nancy's crashed car
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: on the side of the highway. Seedman had a reputation
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: as being this totally no nonsense detective who effectively would
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: stop at nothing to try to solve a case. By
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: this point, he'd already spoken to Nancy's parents, who obviously
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: were devastated and very confused by their daughter's death. They
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: said that Nancy never got in trouble and certainly didn't
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: have any enemies, and so it made no sense that somebody.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Had just shot her as she was driving.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And Detective Seedman had to agree this was not an
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: average murder case. But regardless, he knew the best place
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to start this investigation was Nancy's car. The car was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: actually in pretty good shape. I mean, despite striking this
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: tree at high speeds, you know, the body of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: car basically remained intact. And so Seedman began going inside
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the car and looking all around it, you know, looking
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: for bullet holes to see where this bullet came in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and struck the driver.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But he found none.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Really, there was nothing in the car that gave any
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: information away about what actually happened. Here. Also adding to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the mystery here is Seedman knew there had been that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: police lieutenant who just happened to be driving a few
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: cars back from Nancy when she suddenly veered off the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: road and crashed. And he would say that he did
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: not hear any gunshots, although admittedly he wasn't really listening
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: for gunshots. But he said everything was normal and then
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the car just veered and crashed. He couldn't understand it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Detective Seedman had briefly considered that, you know, maybe Nancy
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: had been shot by somebody inside of her car, but
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: because of the presence of that lieutenant who mediately was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: on the scene and was basically looking at the car
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: from the time it crashed all the way until the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: ambulance arrived, he said, there was nobody else in the car,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and I did not witness anybody fleeing the scene. The
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: whole situation was very bizarre. But Detective Seedman, thinking logically, thought, okay, well,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you know, we know she's been shot, so even though
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: nobody knows how that happened, well, there has to be
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a shellcasing somewhere for the round that struck her. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: so for the rest of the day, Seedman and his
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: team canvassed that whole highway all around that area looking
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for a shell casing or really any clue that a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: gun had been fired in the vicinity, but they found nothing.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: By the end of the day, Detective Seedman was beginning
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to feel pretty disappointed about how the investigation was going
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so far, but he thought to himself, Okay, well, I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: know I haven't found anything promising yet, but remember she
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was shot not in some secluded area. She was shot
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on a major highway in Brooklyn, New York, a city
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of over two and a half million people. I mean,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: someone somewhere must have seen or heard something. And so,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: instead of continuing to look for a shell casing, Seedman
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: abandoned that idea and decided to go find witnesses. Over
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the next five days, Detective Seedman and his team scoured
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn and interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people looking for
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: anybody who had any information.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: About the shooting.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: They also put out a public plea for information, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we're fielding tips that way. But at the end of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: those five days, despite the huge number of interviews, they
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: really hadn't gotten anywhere. As Seedman began to feel his
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: frustration rising because once again it just felt like they
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were hitting another dead end on this case, he told himself, like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they must have missed something. They've talked to a ton
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of people, but maybe they were too quick, maybe they
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: weren't asking the right questions. And so on July twelfth,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he gathered up his team and he circled some spots
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: on a map of Brooklyn and said, look, guys, we're
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: going to go back to these key areas that are
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: sort of positioned in the best angles to have maybe
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: heard or seen something. With the shooting, and we're going
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to ask some more questions and just see if maybe
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: these people have something we didn't catch. In one of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: those circled areas, the police discovered a gas station that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was owned by a guy named Theodore Delsi, and it
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: was located only two blocks away from.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Where Nancy had been shot.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And on the morning of July twelfth, when the police
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: officers rolled up to this gas station, Theodore was working.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: He saw the police coming towards.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Him, and right away he knew this had to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: about Nancy McEwen. So Theodore had been following this case
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: really closely as it was developing for two reasons. One,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Nancy had been shot really close to his gas station,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: so there's that proximity bias. And two, Theodore was actually
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: friends with Nancy's father and had known Nancy growing up,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and so this case really hit close to home. When
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the police walked inside the gas station, Theodore immediately asked them,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: are you here about Nancy?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And they would say yes, and that's what he would.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Tell them, his connection to Nancy and how he was
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: following this case really closely. But despite his proximity to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: where she had been shot. He said unfortunately he hadn't
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: seen or heard anything. But then Theodore quickly followed that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: up and said that, well, you know, while he had
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: been at the gas station in the morning for a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: little bit, he did take off at some point to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: go fishing out on the water in.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: His boat, which was not too far away.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But even from there too, he still said he didn't
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: hear or see anything, but it was kind of noisy
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: out on the water anyways, so you know, he really
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have hurt anything out there anyhow. The police nodded
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and asked some simple follow up questions to Theodore about,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: you know, still, you know, take us through what happened
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that morning.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: What'd you see?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Were there other fishermen out there, you know when you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: were at the gas station, did you see anything unusual?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Just kind of seeing if there was anything that would
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: jog his memory. And Theodore was answering every question as
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: truthfully as he could, and at some point he began
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to think really hard about what he actually saw when
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he was out on the water fishing, and suddenly it
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all clicked. Theodore knew who killed Nancy. It would turn out,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: at eight forty am on July seventh, the exact moment
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Nancy was shot, veered off the road and crashed. Theodore
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: was in fact out in his boat fishing, except at
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: eight forty am he wasn't actually fishing. Instead, he had
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: a can, and he threw that can into the water,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and once he saw the can, he kind of kept
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: staring at it, and then he raised his rifle and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: he fired a shot at the can, but he missed,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and the bullet, by some fluke of physics, ricocheted off
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the surface of the water, went up into the highway
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: right as Nancy had rolled her window down, struck her
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in the head and killed her. Theodore knew he had
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: been shooting his gun out on the water, but what
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: he saw was the bullet hit the water. He didn't
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: think for a second he could have fired up towards
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the highway. It was when police began asking questions that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: he thought, oh, my goodness, it is possible a ricochet
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: could have struck her in the head. Theodore was charged
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: with homicide, but ultimately a grand jury chose not to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: indict him, citing that this truly was an accident. Theodore
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: did not serve any jail time, but he was fined
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred dollars for firing a rifle within city limits.

• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Now back to today's stories. On the evening of September seventeenth,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, a forty two year old preacher named
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Jason Thornberg was cleaning up his motel room in Euless, Texas,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: which is a small city between Dallas and Fort Worth.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Jason was going to be hosting a small Bible study
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: group in his motel room in a few minutes, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: even though really it was not that dirty, he was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: really taking time to ensure it was as clean and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: inviting as he could possibly make it. So normally, Jason
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: would host these Bible study groups at his house, but unfortunately,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Jason's house burned down just that past summer and he
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: lost everything.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: But Jason was so committed to.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: God and spreading the Word of God that he still
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: wanted to continue having these Bible study groups, even if
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it meant, you know, doing it in this kind of.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Crummy motel room.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And so Jason walked around the room picking up laundry
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and straightening up his bed, and then, after kind of
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: arranging chairs in a circle for the very his participants
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he was expecting, he went over to a cabinet, pulled
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: out some bibles, and right as he was about to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: start placing these bibles on each chair, he heard a
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: knock at the door, and Jason was really excited because
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: he knew that had to be someone who was here
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: for this Bible study, and so he walked right over
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: bibles in hand to the door. He opened it up,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and standing outside the door was this big guy covered
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in tattoos, kind of looking down.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: At Jason, and Jason broke into a big smile. He
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: was so happy to see this guy.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: The man's name was David Lars and Jason had previously
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: met him when he was out on the street doing
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: outreach for his church, and he had invited David to,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know, anytime he wanted to come by the motel
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and be a part of this Bible study group. Now,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Jason knew that David was really not the kind of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: guy who went to church or really showed any real
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: interest in God or you know, the Bible. But you know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Jason took all kinds and he was just hopeful that
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: maybe David.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Would show up someday, and now here David was.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: However, David told Jason that the reason he was here
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: was actually not for the Bible study group. He was
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: here because he was in the middle of a crisis
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and he didn't nowhere else to turn. He confessed to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Jason that he had begun using drugs and gotten mixed
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: up and some criminal activity, and you know, there's some
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: dangerous people out there that he was sort.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Of running with.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And now his concern was some of those dangerous people
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: were coming to get him, and so he literally felt
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: like his life was in danger. Now, when Jason heard this,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: he was surprised, but at the same time, you know,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he could tell that David was being very authentic and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: just needed help. And Jason felt like, you know, his
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: job ultimately was to serve God and all of God's people,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and David was one of those people and he was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: in need of help. And so if all Jason did
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: was simply provided safe haven for David inside of this
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: motel room, then that was serving.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: God and it was the right thing to do.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And so Jason immediately said, no problem, David. He handed
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: him a Bible and said come on in. David took
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Bible awkwardly and just kind of stood there for
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a moment, not really sure what to do. But then
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Jason said, hey, relax, just come inside, take a seat.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, David did.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: He walked in, he sat down with the Bible, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: then Jason actually came over and sat down next to him,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and the two of them for about fifteen minutes, just
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: made kind of awkward small talk. Jason could tell, you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: David is completely on edge. She was staring at the door,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: which was now closed, and he just clearly was very
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: anxious and paranoid. And so Jason really wasn't talking about
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the Bible or God or anything. He was just you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: trying to calm David down and show him that this
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: was a safe place. And then after about fifteen minutes
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of this, when David had somewhat calmed down, and also
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: by this point nobody else had showed up for this
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Bible study group, Jason decided, Okay, you know what, maybe
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I'll just begin the Bible study with David.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It kind of gives us something to do. And so
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Jason got up.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: He locked the door, you know, showing David that it's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: just going to be them, it's safe here, and he
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: told David to go ahead and open his Bible to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: a certain page, and then the two of them just
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: began reading the Bible together. And for hours they just
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: sat there reading the Bible, and Jason spoke to David
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: about you know, teachings of God and how to lead
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: your life in a way to serve other people. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, David did completely calm
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: down and seemed to really be embracing.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: This Bible study.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But eventually, despite how well this Bible study was going,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: it did need to come to an end at some point,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: at least in Jason's mind. And when he began to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: notice it was getting dark outside, he sort of began
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: wrapping it up and he shut his Bible and sort
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of expected that David would take a hint and leave,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: but David didn't. Instead, when David began to realize that, hey,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: this is over now and it's time for you to go,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: David looked at Jason and begged him to please let
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: him stay in this room overnight, that he can't go
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: It's not safe for him.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Now, Jason knew he did have some level of responsibility
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for David.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, David had told him he was.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: In danger, he had already invited him inside and was
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: basically providing safe haven for him, And it did feel
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: kind of wrong to be like, now, go back out there.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, Jason felt a little uneasy.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, he didn't really know David, he didn't really
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: understand the situation, and so there was some hesitation at first,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: but after looking again at David and seeing how desperate
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: he was to just please stay here overnight, Jason said, okay,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you can stay. So Jason grabbed some extra blankets and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: pillows and created a makeshift bed on the floor, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: then after that, the two of them actually reopened their
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: bibles and just began reading some more from the Bible
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: for a couple more hours, basically another round of Bible study.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: But eventually they both were very tired, so they put
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: their bibles down, they said good night, they each climbed
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: into their beds, and they closed their eyes and fell asleep.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: For the next five days, Jason's motel room remained mostly closed,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and the only thing anybody heard coming from his room
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: was gospel music, and it was being played at a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: very high volume basically the entire time, to the point
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: where other residents of this motel began to complain about
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: how loud the music was. However, the owner of the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: motel was getting these complaints from residents who were only
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: there for hours at a time or days at a time,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and you know the room they're complaining about.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Jason's room.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: He was a long term resident and so had a
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: sort of higher priority with the owner, and so the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: owner just didn't feel like bothering Jason. He wanted him
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to stay and keep paying for that room. So the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: owner didn't do anything about the noise complaints. And also
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the owner did know that his motel had sort of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: a seedy reputation, and so generally speaking, he didn't really
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: care too much about the music to begin with. And
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: so over the course of these five days, the music
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: kept on blasting. And really the only other thing of
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: note again that happened in this period of time was
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that these two other people entered Jason's motel room and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: didn't leave either. So basically there's four people in the room,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: they haven't come out again. Super loud music. That's all
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: going on for five days. And then on the fifth day,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the morning of September twenty second, a single person walked
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: out of Jason's motel room, and they were wearing a
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: full body hazmat suit and carrying some sort of luggage,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and they would leave the motel, get in a car.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And drive away.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Forty five minutes later, about twenty five miles away from
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that motel, the Fort Worth fire department got a call
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: about this raging dumpster fire in a residential neighborhood.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Firefighters quickly got to.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: The scene and put out the blaze, and after it
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: was gone, they walked up to the smoky dumpster and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: looked inside just to get a look at what was burning,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and what they saw caused them all to back up
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: and call the police. It would turn out David was
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: right when he said he was in danger. However, what
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: he didn't understand is hiding out in Jason's motel room
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: was not going to protect him from that danger. Shortly after,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: he and Jason wrapped up that second Bible study that night,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and the two of them climbed into their respective beds,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Jason in his actual bed and David in the makeshift bed.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: On the floor.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Well, David did fall asleep pretty quickly, but Jason didn't.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Jason waited until David was asleep, and then Jason.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Got up, got a knife and then slit David's throat.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Then he cut David's heart out and ate it. Because
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Jason the preacher really actually believed that human sacrifice was
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the best and purest way to serve God. Over the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: course of the next five days, after killing David, Jason
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: would remain in his motel room, lasting gospel music, and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: over those five days he would basically lure those two
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: women into his room, very likely on the promise of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Bible study, but they too would be sacrificed. And then
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: on the fifth day, the person who exited the motel
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: room in the full hazmat suit was Jason, and that
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: luggage he was carrying with him contained the body parts
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of the three people he had just killed, and he
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: brought those body parts to that dumpster in that residential
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: neighborhood and lit them on fire, and so when the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: firefighters put out the fire, what they saw inside were
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: burned up bodies. Jason was arrested, and while he was
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: awaiting trial, he confessed that David and the two women
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: were not actually his first victims. He said that just
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a few years earlier, he had sacrificed his girlfriend, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: that house fire that destroyed all of his belongings and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: prompted him to go live in this motel was set
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: by Jason him himself because he had sacrificed his roommate
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and needed to get rid of the evidence. Ultimately, law
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: enforcement was only able to show that Jason killed those
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: five people, but there could have been more. Jason was
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to death. He
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: is currently on death row in Texas. On the evening
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: of Thursday May twenty first, twenty fifteen, a sixteen year
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: old girl named Lily walked into the home gym inside
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of her house in Hong Kong looking to do a workout. Now,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: she sort of expected the gym would be empty and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: she could kind of have the run of the place,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: But as soon as she walked in, she saw her
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: dad was in there and he was doing some sort
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of cool down exercise on a yoga ball. So Lily's dad,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: whose name was Cau Kim's son, was a doctor and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a professional, and normally at this time of the day
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: she would never see him in the gym.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: He was typically locked.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Upstairs in his study or you know, upstairs doing work
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: or something, or he was just gone for the day.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: So for him to be here, it just didn't.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Really line up with his schedule, And so Lily asked
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: her dad, like, what are you doing here?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And her dad would tell her, well, actually, you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: work at the hospital was really slow today, so I
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: took off, I played some tennis with friends, and now
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just doing some cool down exercises because i got
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: nothing else to do. But I'll be out of your
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: hair in a second. And sure enough, a couple of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: minutes later, her dad was up and out of the gym,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and Lily just began her work out. The next day,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: May twenty second, around one o'clock, Lily was at home
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: at her dining room table, sitting across from her mother,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: whose name was Wong Siu Fing, and Lily was eating
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a snack and staring at an open textbook.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Now, normally at one o'clock on.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: A Friday, Lily would be at school, but she had
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: had the day off that day, and she had wanted
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to spend her day off seeing friends and just being
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a teenager. But her dad was really focused on her
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: being successful academically, and he told her that absolutely not.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: You're not going anywhere.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You were going to stay home and you were going
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to study all day long.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: You will not leave the house. That's what you're doing.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: So Lily just continued to stare at the textbook and
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: basically do what her father said, and then a couple
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of minutes later she actually heard her dad coming down
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the stairs, and he came into the dining room, and
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: he was clearly very pleased to see his daughter doing
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: her work, or at least appearing to do her work,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and he came over to her, gave her a kiss,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: he kissed their mother, and then he said he was
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: off to work, and then he went out the door
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and he was gone. And as soon as call was gone,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Lily's mom looked over at her and said, I'm not
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: going to make you study all day. Come on, let's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: go out and have a mother daughter shopping day. And
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Lily was stoked. She shut her textbook, she went and
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: got ready, and then a minute later she and her
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: mom climbed into her mom's yellow Mini Cooper car and
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: they headed out. About two hours later, around four fifteen pm,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: a local jogger was running in the same neighborhood as
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: where Lily and her family lived, and as they were
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: running down the road, they noticed there was this yellow
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Mini Cooper car sitting on the side of the road,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: not moving, but it was still on. It was just
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: sort of idling right there, and at first glance, it
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: appeared there were people inside the car, but they weren't
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: doing anything. They were just sitting there, not moving, and
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: so the jogger was curious, and so they ran past
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and made a point to look inside the car, and
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: they saw two women in the front two seats of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: this car slumped over. The two women were Lily and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: her mother, and so the jogger began to panic and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: banged on the glass to try to get the women
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to respond, but they didn't, and so one minute later
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: police were called. They dragged Lily and her mother out
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: of the car. They were totally unresponsive. They were rushed
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to the hospital, but it was too late. They both died.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The police would begin their investigation into their deaths by
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: searching the yellow Mini Cooper car, and when they searched it,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: there really was nothing of note inside of it. I mean,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the two women's purses were in the front of the car.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: There was some basic exercise equipment in the trunk, but
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the car was pristine, clean, not cluttered. I mean, there
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: really was nothing in the car that gave away what
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: could have happened to these two women. For the next
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: six months, the police tirelessly looked for some lead as
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to what happened to this mother and daughter. They would
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: interview all their friends and family. They would search their
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: house top to bottom. They would basically take apart this
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Mini Cooper and look for, you know, defects or flaws
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: that maybe could have contributed to their death. I mean,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they were looking everywhere, but it just didn't make sense.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Nobody had any idea what happened to these two women,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and so right as this case appeared like it was
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: about to go cold, the detectives decided to just go
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: back to the mini Cooper and see if maybe, just
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: maybe they missed something, and sure enough they had. It
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: would turn out on May twenty second, twenty fifteen, the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: day that Lily and her mother died, Lily's father had
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: told Lily to stay home and study. Not because he
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: cared about her academics. I mean he did, but that
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: day the reason for this was not for that. Instead,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: he wanted her to stay home all day to protect her.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: When police originally searched Lily's mom's car, they found the
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: two women's purses and also some basic exercise equipment in
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the trunk, specifically a deflated yoga bawl, and at the
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: time the police didn't think anything of these items. They
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: looked into them, they considered them, but they didn't seem
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to have any bearing on what happened to the women. However,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: they would turn out the yoga ball did have something
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to do with it. Specifically, two days before the women
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: were found dead, that yoga ball was inside of Lily's home.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: It was in her home gym. In fact, when she
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: walked into the home gym and saw her dad doing
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: cool down exercises and thought it was strange he was
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: home right now, he was using that yoga ball, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Lily didn't think anything of it. But in reality, what
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: her father was doing was not cool down exercises. He
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: had not just come home early and you know, had
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: played tennis in this and that. In reality, he had
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: taken that yoga ball to the hospital where he worked
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and filled it with carbon monoxide and odorless, colorless.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Poisonous gas.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And his plan was to put the yoga ball in
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: his wife's car, unplug it, and now it's sealed and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the gas is going to leak inside the car, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: then when his wife got in the car and shut
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the door, she would effectively suffocate and die. He didn't
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: try to kill his daughter, though he wanted her to
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: stay home and study Ie don't go with your mom
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and get in the car, but the mother defied, the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: father brought the daughter along, and then after driving for
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: only a mile, the two women collapsed and died. Cawk
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Him's son was arrested and charged with two counts of murder.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: He has never explained his motive. In case you haven't
