JUDY RAWLINGS WAS
AN ADVENTUROUS TEENAGER,

FOR MEETING WITH ME.

I WISH IT WAS UNDER
BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES,

BUT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
REACHED OUT TO ME

AND WANTED ME TO LOOK
INTO JUDY'S DEATH.

I'M READY TO FIND OUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CHILD.

IT'S BEEN 18 YEARS.

I JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS.

MY SISTER DESERVES JUSTICE.

SHE WAS A SWEET --

SWEETEST SISTER
ANYBODY COULD ASK FOR.

SHE WAS A GOOD GIRL.

SHE WAS ALWAYS THE CLOWN OF THE
BUNCH TO KEEP EVERYBODY HAPPY.

WE JUST MISS SEEING HER
EVERY DAY.

YOU SAID SHE WAS A HAPPY,
JOYFUL PERSON.

WHAT WAS HER SOCIAL CIRCLE
LIKE IN THIS IMMEDIATE AREA?

THEY WEREN'T GOOD PEOPLE.

NOT SOMEONE YOU WANT
YOUR KIDS AROUND.

NOT SOMEBODY YOU WANT
YOUR SISTER AROUND.

WHO WAS THAT?

SHE HUNG OUT WITH DAVID
AND TONY SIERRA.

THOSE ARE SOME OF THE GUYS
THAT SHE HUNG OUT WITH.

YEAH, THOSE ARE THE TWO.

SO TONY AND DAVID
ARE BROTHERS?

YES.

I DID NOT WANT HER
AROUND THEM BOYS.

OKAY.

AND I TOLD HER, "YOU NEED
TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM."

THE LAST TIME YOU SAW HER
WAS ON OCTOBER 2nd.

THAT MORNING, I GOT UP EARLY,

AND I LEFT TO GO TO GREENSBORO
TO SEE MY DOCTOR.

OKAY.

AND WHEN I GOT HOME,
SHE WASN'T HOME.

MY MOTHER SAID SHE HAD
GAVE HER PERMISSION

TO GO RIDING ON
THE FOUR-WHEELER WITH TONY,

AND SHE'D NEVER RODE
WITH TONY BEFORE EVER.

DID ANYONE EVER CONFIRM
THAT JUDY DID IN FACT...

YES, THAT SHE WAS RIDING
WITH HIM?

YES.

HE TOLD ME HE TOOK HER
TO FARLOW'S

AND DROPPED HER OFF
AT 11 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.

FARLOW'S OIL, THAT'S
THE GAS STATION

THAT A LOT OF THE LOCALS,
A LOT OF THE KIDS HANG OUT AT.

I SAID, "JUDY WOULDN'T LET YOU
DROP HER OFF

AT FARLOW'S IN THE DARK."

HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER?

NO. I KNEW INSIDE ME SOMETHING
WAS WRONG WITH MY CHILD.

THEN OCTOBER 19th COMES...

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
CALLED ME

AND TOLD ME THEY WERE
COMING TO MY HOUSE.

PART OF ME KNEW HE WAS
COMING WITH BAD NEWS,

THAT THEY HAD FOUND A BODY.

THEY BELIEVED IT WAS JUDY,

BUT THEY WANTED TO DO DNA
TO MAKE SURE.

I SAID, "THAT'S MY CHILD."

IT'S A DAY I'LL NEVER FORGET.

I NEED TO MEET WITH THE CURRENT
LEAD DETECTIVE ON JUDY'S CASE,

DETECTIVE CHRIS MANESS,
SO HE CAN PROVIDE ME

WITH SOME OF THE KEY DETAILS
FROM THE ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION.

HOW DID YOU GUYS COME UP
WITH THE DATE OF OCTOBER 2nd

AS THE LAST TIME
SHE WAS SEEN ALIVE?

TONY SIERRA...
OKAY. I'VE SEEN HIS NAME.

...IN AN INTERVIEW,
A CLOSE NEIGHBOR, FRIENDS.

HE DESCRIBED TO INVESTIGATORS
AT THE TIME

THAT HE HAD TAKEN
JUDY RAWLINGS,

HE SAYS APPROXIMATELY 11:30,
TO FARLOW OIL,

AND SHE WAS ALLEGEDLY
GOING TO MEET SOMEONE.

HE NEVER SEEN THE PERSON
AND LEFT HER THERE.

DO WE KNOW IF ANY
OTHER CUSTOMERS

OR MAYBE THE PERSON
WORKING THE COUNTER

HAD SEEN TONY DROP HER OFF?
NO, SIR.

AT THAT HOUR, THE STORE WOULD
MOST LIKELY BE CLOSED BY 9 P.M.

AND EVERYONE WOULD BE
GONE HOME FOR THE NIGHT.

OKAY. ON OCTOBER 19, 2001,

SOME LOCAL HUNTERS
WERE IN A PASTURE.

THEY NOTED A SCENT IN THE WOODS
CONSISTENT WITH DEATH.

Levasseur: OKAY.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ANIMAL.

THEY STARTED WALKING
TOWARDS THE SCENT,

AND AT THAT TIME,

THEY DID COME ACROSS A PURSE.

THEY OPENED THE PURSE,

FOUND THE IDENTITY
OF JUDY RAWLINGS,

AND THEY KNEW THE CASE,
SO THEY BACKED UP, CALLED 911.

SMART.

THE INVESTIGATORS GO
TO THE SCENE,

AND THEY -- APPROXIMATELY
A LITTLE OVER 100 YARDS,

THEY FIND REMAINS WHICH LATER
WAS IDENTIFIED AS JUDY RAWLINGS.

ANYTHING ELSE SIGNIFICANT
ABOUT WHERE THE BODY WAS?

IT WAS COVERED IN LIMBS.

THE LIMBS HAD APPARENTLY
BEEN BROKEN OFF

TRYING TO CONCEAL THE BODY.
INTERESTING.

AND THEN ALSO NOTED
WAS THIS STRAP

WHICH WAS BOUND
AROUND HER WRIST.

HER ARM WAS ALSO ABOVE
HER HEAD AT THE TIME...

WHEN SHE WAS FOUND.
...THE BODY WAS LOCATED.

AND THEN WE HAVE HER PAIR
OF PANTS AND UNDERGARMENT.

THEY WERE LOCATED NEAR THE BODY,
NOT ON HER.

NOT ON HER.
WERE HER PANTS UNBUTTONED?

YES.

PROBABLY HAVE SOME FORM

THE LAST PERSON ON RECORD
TO SEE JUDY ALIVE

WAS HER FRIEND TONY SIERRA,

WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE
DROPPED HER OFF

AT A LOCAL GAS STATION
WITH HIS ATV.

TWO WEEKS LATER, JUDY'S BODY
WAS FOUND IN THE WOODS

JUST A MILE AWAY.

NOW, IF THEY WERE TAKING AN ATV,

TONY AND JUDY WOULD THEY HAVE
DRIVEN ON THIS ROAD ITSELF,

OR WAS THERE SOME TYPE OF TRAIL?

ABOUT JUDY'S FINAL DAY.

I FOUND SOMEONE
WHO WAS WITH HER THEN

WHO CAN FILL IN SOME OF
THE GAPS IN THE TIMELINE

BEFORE JUDY'S DISAPPEARANCE.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
YOU AND JUDY WERE VERY CLOSE.

-YOU WERE GOOD FRIENDS.
-YEAH.

SHE WAS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS.

THE NIGHT THAT SHE
ACTUALLY DISAPPEARED,

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,
YOU WERE WITH HER AT SOME POINT.

I WAS.

WALK ME THROUGH THAT DAY
WITH JUDY.

YOU TELL THE STORY.

COME HOME, GOTTEN OFF THE BUS,
AND JUDY HAD SHOWED UP.

WE WERE ALL OUTSIDE IN THE
FRONT YARD, TALKING,

HANGING, YOU KNOW,
KIDS AFTER SCHOOL.

OF COURSE.

ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER,

TONY AND THE BOYS SHOWED UP
RIDING THEIR FOUR-WHEELERS.

THEY TOLD JUDY
TO COME WITH THEM.

SHE TOLD THEM NO,
SHE WAS GOING TO HANG OUT,

AND THEY GOT MAD.

THEY WERE UPSET WITH THE WAY
THAT SHE BLEW THEM OFF?

YEAH.

WHAT WAS JUDY'S REACTION
TO THAT?

SHE WAS SCARED.

SHE WANTED TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
I TOLD HER SHE --

YOU KNOW, LIKE,
MY MOM WOULDN'T LET HER

BECAUSE IT WAS A SCHOOL NIGHT,
AND IT WAS STARTING TO GET DARK,

PROBABLY ABOUT 6:30,
7 O'CLOCK,

AND SHE'S DEATHLY AFRAID
OF THE DARK,

SO I WALKED HER HOME.

WE GOT TO HER DRIVEWAY,

AND HER DRIVEWAY ACTUALLY
CONNECTS WITH TONY AND DAVID'S,

AND THEY WERE SITTING OUT THERE
WITH THEIR ATVs, AND I SAID,

"DO YOU WANT ME TO FINISH
WALKING YOU TO YOUR DOOR?"

SHE SAID, "NO, I'M GOING TO HANG
OUT WITH THEM FOR A LITTLE BIT."

I SAID, "ARE YOU SURE?
ARE YOU GOING TO BE OKAY?"

SHE SAID, "YEAH."

I LEFT HER THERE.
[ SNIFFLES ]

CAN'T BLAME YOURSELF FOR IT.

[ EXHALES ]
YOU WERE A GOOD FRIEND.

YOU WALKED HER HOME.
I KNOW.

THERE'S NO WAY
YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN

WHAT WAS GOING
TO HAPPEN THAT NIGHT.

BUT I SHOULD HAVE MADE SURE
SHE WENT HOME.

SHE MADE THE DECISION
TO STAY OUT.

YEAH.

ANYTHING ELSE OF RELEVANCE THAT
I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THAT NIGHT?

I WAS SITTING IN MY ROOM.
ABOUT 11:30,

I HEARD FOUR-WHEELERS
GOING BY MY HOUSE

BECAUSE I LIVED
BY THE MAIN ROAD.

WHO DO YOU THINK
WAS ON THOSE ATVs?

OH, I KNOW IT WAS THEM BECAUSE
THEY WERE ALWAYS OUT

THAT LATE RIDING.

AND YOU BELIEVE JUDY WAS
WITH THEM AT THAT POINT.

-MM-HMM.
-INTERESTING.

I WANT TO GET INTO FARLOW OIL
FOR A SECOND.

TONY HAD SAID THAT HE WAS
DROPPING HER OFF THERE

BECAUSE SHE WAS GOING
TO MEET SOMEONE.

IF SHE WAS PLANNING ON MEETING
SOMEBODY THAT NIGHT,

SHE'D HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT IT.

SHE WASN'T.

THERE'S NO WAY, AND I HAVE
NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

♪

Levasseur:
WITH THE EVIDENCE MOUNTING
AGAINST TONY AND HIS CREW,

I WANT TO REVIEW
POLICE FILES AGAIN

TO SEE IF TONY'S STORY HOLDS UP
AGAINST WHAT STEPHANIE TOLD ME.

♪

DO WE KNOW IF BRADY IS HERE YET?

-YEAH, HE'S IN THE LOBBY.
-HE IS HERE?

-YEAH.
-OKAY.

THIS IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING.

Levasseur: EVERY INVESTIGATION
NEEDS A BREAK,

AND GOING THROUGH
THE TONS OF EVIDENCE

THAT THE SHERIFF GAVE ME,

I THINK I FINALLY
FOUND SOMETHING

THAT COULD CRACK
THIS CASE WIDE OPEN.

-MARK, HOW'S IT GOING?
-HEY, DERRICK.

THANKS FOR MEETING ME, BROTHER.

-APPRECIATE IT.
-GOOD TO SEE YOU.

CAN YOU FOLLOW ME, SIR?

SO AS YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN WORKING

WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT,

AND I TOLD THEM, "SEND ME
OVER EVERYTHING YOU GOT."

I WAS LISTENING TO
SOME OF THE TAPES,

AND I CAME ACROSS ONE

FROM THIS GUY, MICHAEL TURNER,

AND IT WAS AN INTERVIEW
CONDUCTED BY ONE OF YOUR GUYS.

WE KNOW TONY WAS ARRESTED
AFTER JUDY'S MURDER

ON AN UNRELATED CHARGE.
RIGHT.

I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHAT
HE WAS IN THERE FOR.

IT WAS PRETTY COMPELLING TO ME,
AND I WANTED YOUR TAKE ON IT,

TO SEE IF YOU'VE EVEN
HEARD IT BEFORE.

-OKAY.
-ALL RIGHT.

[ BUTTON CLICKS ]
HMM.

THAT'S IT.

AND THAT'S 2003, SO YOU WERE IN
CHARGE OF THE UNIT AT THAT TIME.

I WAS.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD
THAT TAPE BEFORE?

NO, I HAVE NOT.

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF IT BASED
ON WHAT WAS PUBLICLY KNOWN

ABOUT THE CASE IN 2003?

THIS MICHAEL TURNER INTERVIEW,

HE'S MAKING STATEMENTS
ABOUT THE SCENE,

WHAT WAS DONE AT THE SCENE
THAT HE SHOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN

UNLESS HE WAS AT THE SCENE.

WHEN WE REMOVED THE BODY
FROM THE SCENE,

THERE WAS A LOT OF BREAKDOWN
BETWEEN THE HEAD AREA

AND THE SHOULDERS.

MORE DAMAGE IN THE NECK AREA
THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY?

YES.

-REALLY?
-YES.

TONY TOLD HIM THEY DRAGGED
HER AROUND BY HER NECK.

THAT'S TOO MUCH
OF A COINCIDENCE.

YEAH.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN RELAYED TO YOU.

THAT'S CORRECT.
ARE YOU PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW?

I'M NOT REALLY HAPPY.

IT'S NOT GOOD.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TURNED OVER.

NOT ONLY TO ME,
BUT TO THE D.A.

I MEAN, YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO CONVENE A GRAND JURY

AS FAR --
FOR INVESTIGATIVE PURPOSES.

QUITE POSSIBLE.

Levasseur:
THE THINGS THAT MICHAEL TURNER
SAID IN HIS INTERVIEW

ARE PRETTY DAMNING,
BUT I CAN'T DO MUCH WITH IT

BECAUSE TONY STILL
HAS A STRONG ALIBI.

♪

AND THEN TONY'S MOTHER
REACHES OUT TO ME.

THERE'S NO DOUBT IN YOUR MIND
THAT YOUR SONS HAD NOTHING TO DO

WITH THIS, THOUGH,
NO DOUBT IN YOUR MIND?

I MEAN, DID YOU SEE JUDY
ON OCTOBER 2nd,

OR NO, WERE YOU WORKING?

MM-HMM.

OH, SO YOU SAW HER THE NIGHT
OF OCTOBER 2nd?

OKAY.

LATER THAT NIGHT,
AROUND MIDNIGHT,

TONY SAID THAT HE CAME HOME,
AND HE WENT RIGHT TO BED.

DID YOU SEE HIM AROUND MIDNIGHT?

Narrator: COMING UP...

HE MENTIONED TWO OR THREE THINGS
THAT IN 2003,

WHEN THIS INTERVIEW
WAS CONDUCTED,

THE PUBLIC WAS NOT AWARE OF.

NO ONE KNEW THAT.

♪

♪

Levasseur:
IN MY INVESTIGATION INTO
THE MURDER OF JUDY RAWLINGS,

A LOT OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
POINTS TO TONY SIERRA.

WHILE I BELIEVE THAT
MY MOST RECENT FINDINGS

ARE SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH
TO BRING TO THE D.A.,

IF I WANT THAT TO HAPPEN,

I HAVE TO GET THE CURRENT
LEAD DETECTIVE ON THE CASE,

CHRIS MANESS, ON BOARD.

♪

-ALL RIGHT.
[ BUTTON CLICKS ]

SO AGAIN, MARK,
YOU HAD NEVER HEARD THIS

UNTIL I PLAYED IT FOR YOU?
YEAH.

AND, CHRIS, I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE

FOR YOUR INVESTIGATION
THAT MICHAEL TURNER WAS IN JAIL

WITH TONY SIERRA IN 2003.

WHEN HE GAVE HIS STATEMENT,

HE WAS NO LONGER
IN POLICE CUSTODY.

HE WAS ACTUALLY BEING
RELEASED THE DAY

THAT HE HAD THIS CONVERSATION
WITH TONY SIERRA.

HE'D ALREADY PULLED
HIS DIME,

SO YOU HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL
WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO

WITH THE CASE,
NOTHING TO GAIN.

HE MENTIONED TWO
OR THREE THINGS THAT,

IN 2003, WHEN THIS INTERVIEW
WAS CONDUCTED,

THE PUBLIC
WAS NOT AWARE OF.

HE SAID THAT TONY TOLD HIM
THEY COVERED THE BODY.

NO ONE KNEW THAT.

HERE'S THE OTHER THING --

HE MENTIONED SOMETHING
ABOUT HER NECK,

AND THAT'S KIND OF
THE FIRST TIME

THAT I HAD SEEN
THAT ANYWHERE, RIGHT?

IT DOESN'T LINE UP
WITH THE PHOTOS, RIGHT?

AT THE M.E.'S OFFICE,
HE BROUGHT UP THE FACT --

HAD ASKED ONE OF OUR GUYS,
WAS THERE INJURY TO THE NECK?

BECAUSE THERE WAS
A HEAVY CONCENTRATION

OF LARVA ON THE NECK.

SO HOW DOES MICHAEL TURNER
KNOW THAT?

MICHAEL TURNER KNEW IT
BECAUSE TONY SIERRA TOLD HIM.

AND TONY SIERRA
JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE

THE LAST PERSON
WHO ALLEGEDLY SAW HER ALIVE.

♪

AND THAT BRINGS ME TO MY FINAL
THING THAT I WANT TO DISCUSS.

TONY'S ALIBI IS THAT
HE WAS HOME BY 12

THAT NIGHT
WITH MOM AND DAD.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.

I TRIED TO TRACK DOWN TONY.

UNFORTUNATELY,
THAT DID NOT HAPPEN,

BUT I CAN TELL YOU
THAT LISA SPENCER,

TONY'S MOTHER, DID CALL ME,

AND WE WERE ABLE TO RECORD
THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION,

AND THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID
AT THE END OF OUR CALL.

[ TYPING ]

-Levasseur: SO...
-MM-HMM.

...LATER THAT NIGHT,
AROUND MIDNIGHT,

TONY SAID THAT HE CAME HOME,
AND HE WENT RIGHT TO BED.

Spencer: MM-HMM.

DID YOU SEE HIM
AROUND MIDNIGHT?

I WAS WORKING THIRD SHIFT.

SO YOU WEREN'T HOME.
HOW ABOUT YOUR HUSBAND?

WAS TRACY HOME?

YEAH, HE WAS THERE,
BUT, YOU KNOW,

HE WAS PROBABLY IN THE BED.

BUT THE ONLY --
THE THING THAT --

THIS IS WHY I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU IS BECAUSE

TONY SAID THAT YOU AND TRACY
WERE HOME AT MIDNIGHT,

BUT YOU HAD SAID
YOU WERE WORKING.

I THINK THAT WAS KIND OF, LIKE,
HIS, YOU KNOW, ALIBI, LIKE,

"HEY, WHEN I CAME HOME
AT MIDNIGHT,

THEY KNOW I WAS HOME..."

THAT I DON'T KNOW,
BUT, YOU KNOW,

I WAS WORKING THIRD SHIFT.

♪

SO THAT ALIBI THAT PUTS HIM
AT HIS HOUSE BY 12 A.M.

HAS BEEN CORROBORATED BY NOBODY,
NOT EVEN HIS OWN PARENTS.

♪

CHRIS, I GOT TO ASK YOU
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY,

YOU'VE BEEN A COP
FOR A LONG TIME.

BASED ON WHAT YOU HEARD,
IS THIS SOMETHING

YOU WOULD CONSIDER
BRINGING TO THE D.A.'S OFFICE

AND JUST SAY,
"CIRCUMSTANTIALLY,

WOULD WE HAVE ENOUGH
TO CONVENE A GRAND JURY?"

I MEAN, YES, DEFINITELY THIS
IS INFORMATION

THAT WASN'T BROUGHT
TO LIGHT BEFORE NOW.

I THINK YOU HAVE AN EXTREMELY
STRONG CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE,

AND I'VE SEEN PEOPLE
CONVICTED WITH LESS.

WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.
YEAH.

♪

Levasseur: AFTER MY MEETING
WITH DETECTIVE CHRIS MANESS,

I'M CONFIDENT THAT HE'LL BE ABLE
TO TAKE THIS CASE

ACROSS THE FINISH LINE,
BUT BEFORE I LEAVE ASHEBORO,

THERE'S ONE LAST STOP
I HAVE TO MAKE.

♪

TAMMY, TIFFANY, THANK YOU
FOR MEETING WITH ME AGAIN.

EVERY EFFORT WAS EXPENDED TRYING
TO SPEAK TO AS MANY PEOPLE

AS POSSIBLE AND EXHAUST
EVERY RESOURCE WE HAD.

WE DID EVERYTHING WE COULD
TO TRY TO ADVANCE THIS CASE.

I BELIEVE I FOUND
SOME INFORMATION

THAT MAY HAVE ACTUALLY
STRENGTHENED THE CASE

AGAINST TONY SIERRA.
GOOD.

I THINK THE EVIDENCE
SUGGESTS THAT

WHEN SHE ORIGINALLY INTENDED
ON GOING TO THAT LOCATION,

IT WAS FOR A POSITIVE REASON,

AND SOMETHING HAPPENED
WHERE THE SITUATION ESCALATED,

AND IT RESULTED IN HER DEATH,

AND THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE
FOR HER DEATH PANICKED,

TRIED TO HIDE
WHAT THEY COULD...

YES.
...AND FLED THE AREA.

MY HOPE AND MY BELIEF IS THAT
I EXPOSED SOME OF THE FLAWS

IN THEIR ABILITY
TO HIDE WHAT THEY DID.

♪

I'VE BEEN WAITING
ALL THESE YEARS

FOR SOMEBODY TO COME IN
AND SOLVE IT,

SO WE'D KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO HER AND GET JUSTICE.

I'M EXTREMELY SORRY
FOR YOUR LOSS,

AND I WISH THAT
I COULD GO PUT HANDCUFFS

ON SOMEONE MYSELF TODAY,
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT

I WOULD NOT COME HERE AND LOOK
YOU TWO IN THE FACE

AS A PARENT MYSELF AND TELL YOU
SOMETHING THAT I DIDN'T BELIEVE,

AND I WILL TELL YOU EXACTLY
WHAT I TOLD THE DETECTIVE

IN CHARGE OF THIS CASE NOW.

I LOOKED HIM IN THE EYES,
AND I SAID,

"THIS CASE IS SOLVABLE."

THIS IS THE MOST HELP
WE'VE REALLY RECEIVED, PERIOD.

WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
YES, WE DO.

THANK YOU.

STAY STRONG.

THANKS.

Levasseur:
AFTER TURNING OVER MY FINDINGS

TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT,

I'VE LEARNED THAT EVIDENCE
IS BEING REEXAMINED

AND NEW WITNESSES
ARE BEING INTERVIEWED.

WHILE WE MAY NEVER KNOW
THE DETAILS

OF EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
TO JUDY THAT NIGHT

OR WHO ELSE WAS INVOLVED,

I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE RESULTS
OF MY INVESTIGATION

WILL BE ENOUGH TO FINALLY
BRING JUDY'S FAMILY

AND THE COMMUNITY OF ASHEBORO
THE CLOSURE THEY DESERVE.
