Did she have problems? 560 01:06:04,652 --> 01:06:09,448 She pretended to be involved in credit card fraud at work. 561 01:06:09,531 --> 01:06:15,788 I took her in. She took her son with her the day after the boys disappeared. 562 01:06:16,705 --> 01:06:18,832 I just want to tell- 563 01:06:18,915 --> 01:06:24,504 - that my son Aaron is a close friend of the missing boys. 564 01:06:24,587 --> 01:06:28,131 Michael Moore and Chris Byers are his best friends. 565 01:06:28,215 --> 01:06:32,136 Think you know something who can help us find the boys? 566 01:06:32,219 --> 01:06:37,807 It is very possible. Right, my friend? 567 01:06:37,891 --> 01:06:41,603 We questioned Aaron. He told about meetings in the forest. 568 01:06:41,687 --> 01:06:45,565 It seemed likely, too I knew about the Satanist sect. 569 01:06:45,649 --> 01:06:52,822 - Did you know this sect? - We had expected this for a long time. 570 01:06:52,905 --> 01:06:56,576 - How did you confirm what Aaron said? - We questioned Vicki. 571 01:06:56,660 --> 01:07:02,790 We asked if she knew of a cult or devil worshippers, and she said no. 572 01:07:02,874 --> 01:07:09,505 But then she said: "I guess I can play detective and see what I find?" 573 01:07:09,589 --> 01:07:12,215 Jessie! 574 01:07:14,050 --> 01:07:18,889 It's really nice of you � come here today and work in the heat. 575 01:07:21,391 --> 01:07:24,686 It's doing well. 576 01:07:26,980 --> 01:07:30,942 Do you know that boy?

See you. 584 01:08:10,605 --> 01:08:15,400 I told Damien I would learn more about satanism. 585 01:08:15,483 --> 01:08:21,448 And he invited me to an esbat. 586 01:08:21,532 --> 01:08:28,412 - What the hell is that? - A gathering of witches. 587 01:08:28,496 --> 01:08:32,292 It was out on a field, and it was a full moon. 588 01:08:32,375 --> 01:08:36,920 Damien drove me there in his car, a red Ford Escort. 589 01:08:37,004 --> 01:08:40,716 It was me, Damien and Jessie. 590 01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:44,386 The people there were all dressed in black. 591 01:08:44,470 --> 01:08:51,602 Their faces are not seen, and they began to undress each other. 592 01:08:53,354 --> 01:08:58,817 I asked Damien to drive me home. I was too scared to stay there. 593 01:08:58,900 --> 01:09:04,531 - Did you fear for your life? - Yes. 594 01:09:26,259 --> 01:09:29,428 Sorry, but it sounds as pure nonsense. 595 01:09:29,512 --> 01:09:34,351 Damien does not have a driver's license. None he knows, has a red Ford Escort. 596 01:09:34,434 --> 01:09:40,272 I'm just saying what she said. That with an esbat agreed with what Aaron said. 597 01:09:40,355 --> 01:09:44,610 People were painted black, messed up, had sexual intercourse. 598 01:09:44,694 --> 01:09:50,865 Was there evidence for what Vicki said, or something that tied Damien to it? 599 01:09:50,949 --> 01:09:54,870 No physical evidence, but we have something else. 600 01:09:54,953 --> 01:09:58,331 We have Jessie's confession. 601 01:09:58,415 --> 01:10:03,669 Vicki's plan backfired. Damien never said anything implicating them. 602 01:10:03,753 --> 01:10:09,343 But what Vicki said, Jessie implied. They got him to �confess� instead. 603 01:10:09,426 --> 01:10:13,178 Jason Baldwin got into trouble because he has the wrong friends. 604 01:10:13,262 --> 01:10:17,266 - Just as mothers warn against... - Is Aaron going to testify? 605 01:10:17,350 --> 01:10:22,729 No. Have you seen the trial? He talking about drinking blood from a bucket. 606 01:10:22,812 --> 01:10:27,234 Everything turned out to be fantasies and pure lies. 607 01:10:27,317 --> 01:10:30,612 They will never show the jury his absurd fantasies. 608 01:10:30,695 --> 01:10:35,408 So the jury will never hear the kid with which it all began? 609 01:10:35,492 --> 01:10:40,204 They interrogated him. Do you remember Gitchells fooling around with the cassette player? 610 01:10:40,288 --> 01:10:44,666 "No one knows what happened, except me." 611 01:10:46,752 --> 01:10:49,963 They spend a lot, for they have nothing else. 612 01:10:50,047 --> 01:10:53,635 They send 600 more samples the laboratory, but for nothing- 613 01:10:53,718 --> 01:10:58,346 - which connects Damien, Jason and Jessie to the place. 614 01:10:58,430 --> 01:11:04,603 See here. Do you remember Gitchell saying that the case number "666" was random? 615 01:11:04,686 --> 01:11:11,527 This report was signed by Ridge 3 days after spring, the number is "555". 616 01:11:11,610 --> 01:11:16,488 They changed our case number to the number of the beast? 617 01:11:16,572 --> 01:11:21,661 It's a witch hunt. The boys was never suspected but flashes. 618 01:11:21,744 --> 01:11:24,997 When they had Jason and Damien, they stopped looking. 619 01:11:25,081 --> 01:11:28,041 But we can keep looking. 620 01:11:28,125 --> 01:11:34,881 - We work hard, but they send more. - Do what needs to be done. 621 01:11:34,965 --> 01:11:37,967 We probably can't prove it that they are innocent. 622 01:11:38,050 --> 01:11:42,305 But maybe the police don't try to find the culprit. 623 01:11:51,021 --> 01:11:53,816 I was there. Don't you understand? 624 01:11:53,899 --> 01:11:58,487 And nobody knows what that happened, except me. 625 01:11:58,571 --> 01:12:04,826 Last year, Damien said that the devil worshippers had passed the stage of animal sacrifice. 626 01:12:04,910 --> 01:12:11,249 He said that summer they would go ahead and sacrifice a human. 627 01:12:11,332 --> 01:12:14,920 - Were you in Robin Hood Woods then? - No. 628 01:12:15,003 --> 01:12:18,131 - Were you there when the boys were killed? - No. 629 01:12:18,215 --> 01:12:21,634 - Do you suspect anyone of the murders? - No. 630 01:12:21,717 --> 01:12:23,886 - Do you know who killed them? - No. 631 01:12:23,969 --> 01:12:27,056 - Did you kill any of the three boys? - No. 632 01:12:27,139 --> 01:12:30,143 But this crime is creepy. 633 01:12:30,226 --> 01:12:34,896 Imagine if they are guilty? Have you thought about it? 634 01:12:48,910 --> 01:12:54,874 - Some dessert? We have chocolate pie. - No thanks, Annie. 635 01:12:54,957 --> 01:12:59,879 You were shaken up the other day, when you met that woman. 636 01:12:59,963 --> 01:13:06,635 - She is very pretty. - She is my ex-wife. 637 01:13:06,718 --> 01:13:10,264 But she's not an ex so much longer? 638 01:13:11,724 --> 01:13:15,685 How have you been?
