In this episode of American Greed, the Wild West is alive and well in North
Dakota.
When an oil boom hits the state, a few bad men descend on the bad lands.
It was a modern -day gold rush out there. With that comes a lot of people
checkered paths.
James Hendrickson is the baddest of them all.
He lived his life like Caligula. I mean, he just wanted to lay waste to
everything and everyone.
In his drive to make a killing, Hendrickson will do anything to
competition. Basically, anyone that ever crossed James or that he thought could
sink him, he wanted to have killed.
There's been shots. A man just kicked in our house and shot my husband.
He certainly gets an A for effort in terms of being a serial murderer.
But when this arrogant mastermind hires a sloppy hitman, his budding empire
comes crashing down.
We always say you can't make this stuff up.
I was like, you sons of bitches, man. Who do you think you are? Like, who do
think you are to come up to North Dakota and rip people off like you have and
then to kill people?
Who does that?
Deep within the American heartland, North Dakota is home to wide open
rugged landscapes, and few people.
Despite being population poor, the state is rich in natural resources.
In 2006, North Dakota is the site of a modern economic boom.
when a layer of oil -saturated shale is tapped in the Bakken, a rock formation
beneath the western half of the state.
Hydraulic fracking unleashes millions of barrels of black gold.
It was like Deadwood. It was crazy.
It was a gold rush, basically.
The oil business was booming. There was a lot of money to be made.
To corral that much oil, manpower is desperately needed.
Over the next several years, more than 100 ,000 men descend on the patch.
Everywhere you looked, it was trucks. It was truck traffic from bumper to
bumper. Businesses were charging $1 ,800 a month, San Francisco rents in North
Dakota, based on how many people were looking for jobs.
In October 2011, 28 -year -old Christopher Casey Clark is one of
those men.
A former motorbike racer, Clark moves to North Dakota at the request of an old
friend, James Hendrickson.
Hendrickson has recently started a promising oil -related business,
Trucking, and wants Clark to be his operations manager.
Casey and James raced motorcycles together in Washington State.
So he'd known Casey for quite a while.
Just 32 years old, James Henriksen appears to be a promising young go
In addition to owning a trucking business, he possesses an imposing
a sparkling white smile.
By his side is his beautiful young wife, Sarah Creveling.
The locals called the couple Ken and Barbie.
You know, people laughed.
You know, it's North Dakota. It's almost all male. It's rugged.
And then you have this blonde and, you know, this handsome guy.
They just looked out of place, you know. And when you hear about, like, the Wild
West, you were thinking, what is Sarah doing here?
She's the only blonde chick in, like, 500 miles.
Rick Airy lives next door to Clark and the Hendricksons in an RV park in the
bustling community of Newtown.
A few weeks after their arrival, his new neighbors offer him a job.
Casey approached me and he said, Rick, do you want a truck pushing job?
I said, dude, I don't know the first thing about pushing trucks.
He said, I'll pay you $1 ,500 a week salary.
And I was like, deal.
Harry works as Blackstone's truck dispatcher.
In the desolate and lonely oil fields, Rick and KC quickly develop a strong
friendship.
We'd BS, we'd talk, and he had a good heart.
And him and I just hit it off like we'd grown up the same way, you know? So
we're just kindred souls and fast friends.
Blackstone's main business is running water tankers to and from the oil
Fracking requires fresh water to help break up the oil -rich shale.
We'd have 75 to 100 trucks out there. We'd have multiple jobs going because
only were we filling frack tanks around the clock, we had wells that were
already producing that had dedicated runs where we'd have to go pull the
off them. The money is good, but the men work long hours.
Oh, gosh.
24 -7, man.
It was ridiculous.
So, I mean, it was one of them jobs where you got to shower maybe once a
You know, I was living on Red Bull in Copenhagen.
After an intense few months, Rick and KC are burning out.
In early 2012, the men make plans to leave Blackstone and help a mutual
start a new trucking business.
I was like, dude, look at what James is doing.
I was like, we could do this for ourselves, and we could pay the truck
run a legit show, and we can make our own money.
Rick and KC conspire to poach some Blackstone clients and take them to
gig.
But KC tells his friend it's crucial they keep their plans secret.
He was like, man, we got to keep it quiet.
James cannot find out. James cannot find out.
In February 2012,
shortly before his planned covert departure from Blackstone, Casey Clark
scheduled to take a two -week vacation.
James Henriksen had told Casey Clark, you're just working too hard, you need a
break, go on vacation.
But before Casey can leave, James Henriksen has one request.
He wants Clark to stop by the office and drop off his company credit card.
They claim that how are we going to buy fuel and pay for things when you're on a
two -week vacation?
We need that card. We need that card.
On February 22, 2012, Casey Clark heads to the Blackstone Trucking Office.
Early morning, I think on a Tuesday morning sometime, and there were
walking around, approximately 20 to 25 truckers.
in the yard at that time several people saw casey come to the building and
several employees saw him but where casey goes next is unknown
several hours after clark's visit to blackstone
rick airy is unable to locate his friend so i started texting him i started
calling him the same thing i'm not getting any return nothing no reply
voicemail
That afternoon, Airy drives out to the Blackstone shop.
He's confronted by James Hendrickson.
James looks right at me and he says, are you quitting too?
And he's not supposed to know at this point. It's supposed to be a big old
secret. I'm like, no, man, I ain't quitting.
He's like, huh.
Okay, well, there's just rumors going around. You guys are quitting. You and
Casey are quitting.
Rick asks James if he knows where Casey is.
Henriksen tells Rick that KC has a history of skipping town unexpectedly.
Yeah, that son of a bitch, he always up and disappears like this.
He owes a bunch of people in Washington a bunch of money, and he hauled ass one
other time.
I've been trying to call and text him all day, too.
But in the following weeks, Rick realizes that something's not right.
Casey's clothes and personal items are still at his house.
He doesn't answer his phone.
And his family hasn't seen or heard from him.
At this point, we know he's missing. Like, he's not making his payments. He's
not using his cell phone. He's not pulling a dime out of his checking
Rick Gary and others create posters and spread the word through social media.
So we just go on the offensive.
We'll start blowing it up. We're getting it out there.
Many of the wells and oil -related businesses in North Dakota are on the
Berthold Indian Reservation, including Blackstone.
Word of Casey's disappearance quickly spreads through the native communities.
One of my clan sisters contacted me and she said, Hey, sister, did you hear
about this missing boy from that oil field?
Lissa Yellowbird Chase is a tribal attorney for MHA Nation, a union of the
Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara tribe.
Since Casey Clark was last seen on native lands, she takes it upon herself
some investigating, starting with the Blackstone shop.
Parked out in the parking lot and started talking to truckers and saying,
you aware that this happened?
Only one out of maybe ten even heard about it.
Rick Airy says it's no surprise Blackstone employees are kept in the
Rick is convinced that James Henriksen knows more than he's letting on.
I knew he had something. If he didn't have something to do with it, he knew
something. He had to have known something.
In the first few months after Casey's disappearance, the case isn't a priority
for law enforcement either.
Workers constantly come and go from the oil fields.
But in June 2012, a clue emerges that puts the case on the cops' radar.
Casey Clark's abandoned pickup truck is discovered in Williston, nearly 80 miles
away from where he was last seen.
I'm devastated at this point. I mean, it just sucked the air out of the room. I
couldn't breathe. My heart's in my chest. I'm like, you got to be shitting
Next on American Greed, a closer look at James Hendrickson's past reveals that
he's a man of many secrets.
We actually got a copy of his criminal record. It's just like, god dang, this
guy's a real dirtbag, you know?
By all appearances, James Hendrickson is an up -and -coming player in the North
Dakota oil fields.
In 2012, his trucking company is booming.
He buys a Bentley and a brand -new house in Watford City.
But after the disappearance of Casey Clark, Rick Airy discovers that
isn't exactly a model citizen.
He soon discovers that Hendrickson is just as dirty as the black gold they
pulled from the ground.
We actually got a copy of a criminal record.
And that was like all I needed.
Assault, burglary, manufacturing drugs.
I mean, you just go on and on and on and on and on.
Over the past 10 years, Hendrickson has been arrested multiple times in his home
state of Oregon.
He'd done time in jail, never a long dent from what I could tell.
He's a con man.
In 2011, Steve Kelly has the unfortunate distinction of being Hendrickson's
first business partner in North Dakota.
Kelly is a member of MHA Nation.
and the owner of Trustland Oilfield Services.
I got a call in July of 2011, and he said he had trucks down in Texas, and
he wanted to know if I was looking for trucks.
At the time, Kelly's business is booming, but he needs more tankers to
with demand.
And I asked him, I said, how did you get my name?
He said, well, I looked you up on that tarot list.
TARO is the Tribal Employment Rights Office, which gives Native Americans
preference to business activities on the reservation.
The TARO office has all the Indian contractors listed there.
And at the time, I suppose there was probably 60 of us, 50 of us. And so he
went on down the list until he got to Trustland and called me.
Kelly agrees to bring on Henriksen as a subcontractor.
He says James is initially a good worker.
Hendrickson quickly builds up his fleet and expands his operations.
His team eventually includes Casey Clark and Rick Airy.
He had, to my knowledge, no industry knowledge in trucking. He went up there
just started doing it. He was a good salesman, even better con man.
But in December of 2011, Kelly says their relationship sours.
Kelly's company puts in a $500 ,000 bid on a new oil well run by Petro Hunt, a
firm with which he's well established.
To his surprise, Kelly discovers that James Hendrickson and Blackstone have
already won the job.
Well, I called up Terrell, and I said, they can't have the job. I have
preference.
You know, what gives?
They said, no, no, they're a registered native company now, too.
Kelly says Hendrickson recruits a Navajo woman from Texas to register his
company and get Blackstone native status.
Kelly complains to Taro and gets Hendrickson pulled from the job.
Shortly after the incident, Kelly says shocking graffiti appears at Petro Hunt
job sites around the oil fields.
All kinds of rotten things about me, repainted on their PetroHunt vehicles.
Seriously, that bugs the hell out of me.
Steve Kelly raped my wife.
I was just almost physically sick.
It was terrible.
Although he can't prove Hendrickson is behind the graffiti, Kelly stops
subcontracting with the young hustler.
But by then, Hendrickson isn't hurting for work.
Next on American Greed.
James Hendrickson sets his sights on a bigger prize.
That sly son of a gun had that card up his sleeve and nobody saw that coming.
If you want to do business on a reservation,
There's no better place to start than at the top.
As 2012 rolls around, James Hendrickson makes a powerful new friend, Tex Hall,
who is, at the time, tribal chairman of MHA Nation.
He went to our chairman to basically take advantage of his political
In addition to being tribal chairman, Tex Hall also owns a private oil
Hall makes Hendrickson one of his subcontractors.
James was being allowed to drive truck on their land.
Back there, you were supposed to be a tribal member to get those kind of
but James had managed to work his way in.
The arrangement angers many in the Native community.
Tribal members could be doing this stuff, and he'd be doing just as well.
So, in other words, Tex could have subcontracted with me, you know, or any
tribal member and done just as well, probably better.
Hendrickson moves the Blackstone offices to Tex Hall's property outside of
Mandaree.
Just a few months later, in February, it's this shop where Casey Clark is last
seen.
Tex. indicated that he did not know Casey Clark.
For Tex Hall, Casey Clark was just one of many people who worked directly or
indirectly for him.
James Hendrickson isn't troubled by Clark's disappearance either because
too busy making money.
While partnered with Tex Hall, Hendrickson lands a lucrative deal with
Nation to water dirt roads and keep dust down on the reservation.
Hendrickson bills the tribe $580 ,000 for the work.
Oh, it's a huge questionable deal. He come to me and he said, whatever the job
is, he's like, I'm going to add a bunch of hours to it so that that money is
going right here.
He padded them hours for down here.
By the end of 2012, Tex Hall learns the cost of doing business with James
Hendrickson.
Over the past year, prosecutors say Hendrickson has been skimming money from
deals with Hall.
Using shell companies registered in Sarah Creveling's name, Hendrickson
hundreds of thousands of dollars into his own pockets.
He would create these dummy companies that he actually owned, and he would
basically bill to these dummy companies, indicate that they were charging him
for trucking services.
Hall ultimately cuts ties with Hendrickson, but it's later discovered
split isn't just about money.
Hendrickson's been having an affair with Peyton Martin, the daughter of Hall's
longtime girlfriend.
James Hendrickson had impregnated his 18 -year -old stepdaughter.
Since arriving in the patch, James Henriksen has been working on the
of the oil business, in trucking.
After his split with Tex Hall, he's now ready to make the big bucks, drilling
oil himself.
In early 2013, he hooks up with Doug Carlisle, a construction contractor
in Spokane, Washington.
They got into the oil drilling venture together because they had heard that
there was a piece of property, approximately 640 acres total, up for
The land had not been drilled, but all around it were big companies, and they
were getting a lot of money in oil.
Neighboring wells are reported to be making over $250 ,000 in profits each
The land could be worth hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars.
All they have to do is come up with $2 million to secure the oil rights.
Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Hendrickson solicited investors.
It was Mr. Carlisle doing most of the footwork in that. And we're able to get
approximately five or six investors.
The men initially raised $1 .6 million.
including $640 ,000 that James and Sarah kick in themselves.
But they have trouble raising the final $400 ,000, not to mention the additional
funds needed to get the venture off the ground.
What they didn't realize is it was going to cost tens and tens of millions of
dollars to actually start drilling the oil. You have to build the roads, you
have to build the platforms, and you need...
A lot of money. I believe about $8 million per well is what it cost.
Late in 2013, Doug Carlisle believes he's found a financial savior in a big
-money Saudi Arabian investor.
They believed that this Saudi Arabian oil tycoon was going to invest in them,
give them the money to build all the wells.
Well, it turned out he's a con man.
Before they can do business, the Saudi investor asks for collateral to help
establish their relationship.
So he asked for approximately $80 ,000 from Mr. Carlisle, which Mr. Carlisle
supply. They ended up giving him a large sum of money that he walked away with.
Henriksen is furious with Carlisle.
Their chance at a fortune is slowly slipping away.
The oil drilling just wasn't getting started, and the timing of the lease was
limited.
The men's relationship deteriorates.
He had actually tried to buy Doug out of his percentage of their business
together, but Doug wasn't going to leave. You know, I think they all saw
pot of gold at the end, and so no one wanted to leave.
Carlisle's wife says her husband is increasingly worried.
Alberta Carlisle had noted that Mr. Carlisle would walk around the house,
sure all the windows were locked. She had noted that he had never done that in
the past.
Next on American Greed, Hendrickson resolves to lose his business partner by
means necessary.
It's Sunday night, December 15, 2013, in Spokane, Washington.
Just after 7 o 'clock, Doug Carlisle and his wife, Alberta, return home after
attending a church function.
They drove home. They pulled in. Miss Carlisle went, unlocked the back door,
went in the house, not thinking anything of it.
Mr. Carlisle followed her in within 10, 15 seconds.
Mrs. Carlisle immediately heads upstairs.
But before she can get to her bedroom, she hears her husband talking to someone
downstairs in the kitchen.
And so she assumed maybe one of her kids had shown up at the house.
So she turned around and yelled, Hey, Doug, who are you talking to?
There's no response.
Alberta Carlisle walks back downstairs.
She's stunned when she sees a man pointing a gun at her husband.
She's maybe 10 or 15 feet from the kitchen looking down the hallway.
She saw a male wearing all black, covered head to toe.
Alberta says her husband tries talking with the man in black.
All I remember was I saw the tips of my husband's fingers coming forward and
heard him say, You don't want to do that.
Alberta turns to run upstairs.
Multiple gunshots ring out in the... I thought, oh my God, he's going to kill
before I even get up the stairs because I feared he'd come after me.
Alberta frantically makes her way to the bedroom.
hides in a closet, and calls 911.
There's been shots. A man just kicked in our house and shot my husband, I think.
If he hears me, he's going to shoot me.
Fortunately for Alberta Carlisle, the killer never heads upstairs.
No interest at all, never followed her. He was focused on Mr. Carlisle.
Within minutes, emergency crews are on the scene.
But it's too late.
Doug Carlyle is dead.
He's been shot seven times.
Police say the murder scene doesn't add up.
The house wasn't ransacked.
Nothing was missing. Nothing was stolen from him.
Neighbors recall seeing a white van outside the house earlier in the
Behind the home, investigators find a footprint by a fence gate and a dirty
yellow welder's glove.
Ms. Carlisle had told us that the subject was wearing all black. This was
bright welder's glove.
In Carlisle's home office, detectives find piles of documents related to North
Dakota oil fields.
Alberta tells detectives that her husband warned her about his business
James Hendrickson.
She and her husband had had a long talk about, you know, if anything happens,
make sure the police know James is involved.
Police immediately call Hendrickson, but discover that he's three states away.
We pinged his phone.
We called him and confirmed that he was in North Dakota.
They say Hendrickson isn't surprised by the news.
Very calm, kind of played it off, like he owed a lot of people money, so
a lot of people who could do this.
Over the next several weeks, investigators find more clues.
Surveillance footage from a nearby school appears to capture the suspect.
We also got video from a camera system of a private residence where you can
certainly see the van. In mid -January, a month after the murder, police get DNA
results from the welder's glove.
It matches Timothy Succo, a career criminal and employee of a local
removal company.
This is a guy who's been in and out of prison.
He was truly a bad guy.
The asbestos company uses plain white vans, just like the kind seen outside
Carlisle home on the night of the murder.
We put some of our undercover detectives following him, and they watched him go
to work.
In the parking lot, there's a white van that looked very similar to what we have
on video.
Police arrest Suko and get search warrants for his home and personal
They say Suko is hoarding an arsenal, rifles, grenades, tactical gear.
While the murder weapon is never found, detectives ultimately find something
better. In his truck, we found a couple black balaclavas. We found binoculars.
And probably most importantly, we found his note.
The note appears to be a detailed checklist for committing murder.
Well, at the very top of the list was the word glove with a question mark
it, which right away we thought he must have realized he dropped his glove.
And then it went through, check the area, practice with handgun.
You know, it was your perfect to -do list for the murder.
and it was just sitting in his vehicle.
While analyzing Succo's cell phone, detectives find another clue.
As I was going through his phone, I noticed James N. N. D. in his contact
and when we ran the number, sure enough, it was James Hendrickson's phone
number.
Next on American Greed.
Investigators learn Timothy Succo and James Hendrickson have an unusual
arrangement.
And Mr. Succo confirmed that he was the one that murdered Casey Clark.
One month after the murder of Doug Carlisle, police believe they have the
killer. when they arrest Timothy Succo.
At first,
they say he isn't cooperative.
But as the evidence piles up against him, Succo starts to play ball.
He's 50 -some years old. He's looking at a first -degree murder rap.
And so I think he was just trying to do what he could.
to not have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
In exchange for a plea deal, Succo says he'll tell them about his business
relationship with James Henriksen.
Kind of hit us out of the blue where he said, you know, he's willing to talk not
only about Mr. Carlisle's murder, but about another murder as well.
And that was when we learned about Casey Clark.
He ultimately cooperates and gives us the entire story from...
Casey Clark's disappearance onward through Doug Carlisle. He names all the
players.
Investigators learned that Henriksen was told of Casey Clark's plan to leave
Blackstone and post his clients.
That loss of business would do considerable damage to Hendrickson's
If Casey Clark was able to lure a lot of his business away, he would go from
making well over a quarter million dollars a month to making far less
In February 2012, Succo hops a train and travels nearly 800 miles from Spokane,
Washington to North Dakota.
Succo says he is at the Blackstone shop when Casey Clark returns his credit
card. At that point, Casey Clark enters the business and returns the credit
card. And he actually shook hands with Mr. Succo. Mr. Hendrickson introduced
Succo to Casey Clark.
According to investigators, Hendrickson says he has a motorcycle that he wants
Casey to check out.
Mr. Hendrickson lured him into the garage area and then says, come look at
motorcycle here in the corner.
When Clark turns around, investigators say Suko picks up a heavy steel handle
from a nearby floor jack.
When he walked up, he began hitting him in the head with the handle from the
jack. He continued to hit Casey in the head until his head went soft.
With Casey Clark dying and bleeding on the floor, Suko says Hendrickson begins
to panic.
You got to remember, this is at the shop during a time where there's truckers
all the way around this building.
What Mr. Sukow does is he sees a garbage can in the corner and ties the garbage
bag around Casey's head to stop the blood from pouring onto the concrete.
Investigators say the men then put Casey Clark into an empty toilet box and load
him onto the back of a pickup truck.
But before they can dispose of Casey's body, they first need to get rid of his
vehicle.
So at that point, they take Casey Clark's truck and dump it in Williston.
Parked the truck, left the keys in it.
Tim said that their hope was that someone would find it and steal it.
The men then proceed to drive south toward the Badlands and the Theodore
Roosevelt National Park.
It was Mr. Henderson that directed where they would go.
Once they turned into the park, it's a long, winding dirt road, and it's a very
remote area.
Once they're deep in the Badlands, investigators say Suko carries the box
into a ravine.
Mr. Suko walked at approximately 200 yards and buried him with Mr.
there.
Timothy Sukow dug a hole, probably about four feet deep, and he said when he was
digging the hole, and James asked him, how much is this going to cost me?
Sukow knows that Hendrickson is carrying a gun.
Despite the awkwardness of the situation, the men begin to haggle on
for committing the murder.
And Mr. Sukow said, well, it's going to cost you $20 ,000.
And Mr. Hendrickson actually gasped when Mr. Sukow said $20 ,000.
He didn't even want to pay him $20 ,000.
And Tim said that the next thing he said to James was, if you're going to shoot
me, don't shoot me in the back of the head.
He finished digging the hole. They put the body in the hole, covered it up,
and...
Before he left town, James paid him $20 ,000 in cash.
Next on American Greed, investigators learn James Hendrickson's business plan
more ambitious than anyone ever imagined.
Basically, anyone that ever crossed James or that he thought could think
wanted to have killed.
For more than two years, James Hendrickson has run his North Dakota oil
like a wannabe crime boss.
But when Timothy Succo is arrested in early 2014 for the hit on Doug Carlisle,
James isn't looking so slick.
I was like, oh boy, oh, this is going to go somewhere.
I was like, this is like, it's over now.
On January 18th, authorities search Hendrickson's house and find a stash of
firearms.
That's all they need to put him in cuffs.
He's a convicted felon. They found weapons, felon possession charge. We
that to charge him and hold him until we could build the murder -for -hire case.
During their investigation, the FBI discovers text messages connecting
Hendrickson to the two murders.
but they also learned something equally disturbing.
Hendrickson has a hit list for those who get on his bad side.
We found evidence of approximately 12 people that he actively recruited others
to kill. They were negotiating prices with assaults versus killings, and it
like he was going to the store to buy something. It was very nonchalant.
Included on the hit list, are Tex Hall, Rick Airy, and Steve Kelly.
Investigators say Kelly was supposed to be the first victim.
The first offer was to kill Steve Kelly, and it wasn't until the next morning
that Mr. Henderson changed his mind from the target being Steve Kelly to the
target being Casey Clark.
That's a weird, that's a weird feeling.
It really was weird. And that was just, you know, a guardian angel looking out
for me or something.
Hendrickson even turns on his wife, Sarah Creveling.
Sarah knew everything about what was going on. She was involved in the money
laundering, the theft.
I believe that she knew about the Casey Clark murder, and he didn't want her
testifying against him, so he tried to hire someone to kill her, too.
Investigators say James even makes getaway plans with Tex Hall's
He was looking to get a passport for his son that he had with Peyton Martin, and
he was looking to go to Brazil.
He certainly gets an A for effort in terms of being a serial murderer.
I mean, he got two.
In order to be a serial murderer, you need to murder three or more.
And he made a sincere effort to do that.
Six people are convicted in the conspiracy.
Sarah Creveling avoids murder charges and instead pleads guilty to mail fraud
and money laundering.
Timothy Succo pleads guilty to two counts of murder for hire charges.
He receives a 30 -year sentence.
I think if you interviewed him today, he would tell you, I just did it for
money, and I was greedy, and I was stupid.
Ironically, Succo was never paid for Doug Carlisle's murder.
In fact, Mr. Succo was arrested the day before he was to be paid his $20 ,000.
Alberta Carlisle tells American Greed that she has forgiven her husband's
killer.
Timothy Succo agrees to take law enforcement to the Badlands, where he
burying Casey Clark.
But unfortunately, the body is never found.
We've tried airplanes, we've tried metal detectors, backhoes, and we still can't
find Casey's body.
James Hendrickson refuses to talk.
That's the one thing James Hendrickson has on us. He knows where that body is,
and he's not willing to give the family closure.
In the courtroom, Hendrickson rejects a plea deal and chooses to go on trial for
the murders of Clark and Carlisle.
He's convicted on ten murder -for -hire counts and is currently serving two life
sentences at the Supermax Prison in Florence, Colorado.
To this day, friends of Casey Clark continue the search for his final
place.
At times, the task seems hopeless, yet they still persist for the sake of
Casey's family.
Who in their right mind can tell a mother that they're not going to help
Who can do that? How can you look at a mom in the face and say, I could
help, but I'm not going to.
Lissa Yellowbird Chase and Rick Airy have crisscrossed the Badlands dozens of
times and say they'll continue the search for as long as it takes.
Anybody who doesn't give up is going to get to their goal. You know what I mean?
So when Casey's ready, he will help us reveal himself.
And I know Casey's fine. I know that that body, that ain't him.
You know, and if we never find him, he's in a beautiful spot.
