2
00:00:14,488 --> 00:00:17,588
Berlinger: In the small town
of Chillicothe, Ohio,

3
00:00:17,621 --> 00:00:19,688
six women
have gone missing --

4
00:00:19,721 --> 00:00:23,021
young mothers caught
in a vicious cycle of addiction

5
00:00:23,054 --> 00:00:24,854
and prostitution.

6
00:00:24,888 --> 00:00:27,121
Four of them have
turned up dead.

7
00:00:27,154 --> 00:00:32,988
Woman: I found a woman's body
 in the creek.

8
00:00:33,021 --> 00:00:34,454
Berlinger: I'm Joe Berlinger.

9
00:00:34,488 --> 00:00:37,854
I'm a documentary filmmaker
and an activist.

10
00:00:37,888 --> 00:00:40,921
I'm working with forensic
analyst Angela Clemente

11
00:00:40,954 --> 00:00:44,354
and former FBI agent
Steve Bongardt...

12
00:00:44,388 --> 00:00:45,954
We'd really like
to talk to you...

13
00:00:45,988 --> 00:00:48,521
...to find out what happened
to these women.

14
00:00:48,554 --> 00:00:49,821
Woman:
We got to get justice.

15
00:00:49,854 --> 00:00:52,854
All of us in here
have to get justice.

16
00:00:52,888 --> 00:00:55,454
Berlinger: As we delved deeper
into these cases,

17
00:00:55,488 --> 00:00:57,354
our investigation expanded

18
00:00:57,388 --> 00:01:00,754
to nine victims
across three cities.

19
00:01:00,788 --> 00:01:03,688
But just as we're making
significant progress in

20
00:01:03,721 --> 00:01:05,821
our year-and-a-half-long
investigation,

21
00:01:05,854 --> 00:01:07,521
we hit a snag.

22
00:01:07,554 --> 00:01:09,188
So, what is this,
exactly?

23
00:01:09,221 --> 00:01:10,554
What it says
right there, ma'am.

24
00:01:10,588 --> 00:01:13,388
"Grand jury witness subpoena."

25
00:01:13,421 --> 00:01:15,921
Berlinger: The Ross County
prosecuting attorney

26
00:01:15,954 --> 00:01:18,421
wants us to hand
over recordings and transcripts

27
00:01:18,454 --> 00:01:20,088
of our interviews

28
00:01:20,088 --> 00:01:22,354
and reveal our
confidential sources.

29
00:01:22,388 --> 00:01:24,854
We don't want the sources
to be named

30
00:01:24,888 --> 00:01:27,921
because that could
potentially endanger them.

31
00:01:27,954 --> 00:01:30,221
But despite this major setback,

32
00:01:30,254 --> 00:01:33,788
we are determined to
continue our investigation.

33
00:01:35,621 --> 00:01:38,188
Ruth: There's somebody out there
that knows what went on,

34
00:01:38,221 --> 00:01:40,254
but they just won't tell
because they're scared.

35
00:01:40,288 --> 00:01:42,254
Magill: Shall we pray?
"Our Father..."

36
00:01:42,288 --> 00:01:43,921
Heather: He put the gun
to my chest, and he said,

37
00:01:43,954 --> 00:01:45,354
"Live or die."

38
00:01:45,388 --> 00:01:47,188
Landrum: Everybody who knows
information

39
00:01:47,221 --> 00:01:48,921
that tries to come out and talk
about it, they end up dead.

40
00:01:48,954 --> 00:01:50,688
Coleman: He gave her
a hot shot of heroin.

41
00:01:50,721 --> 00:01:52,854
Kellough: And I said,
"I know who your son is,

42
00:01:52,888 --> 00:01:55,088
and I know what he did, too."

43
00:01:55,088 --> 00:01:57,588
Sam: If she's out there,
please just let her go,

44
00:01:57,621 --> 00:02:01,388
[Echoing]
and let her come home.

45
00:02:01,421 --> 00:02:04,654
**

46
00:02:09,088 --> 00:02:11,621
Berlinger: While our attorneys
fight the subpoena

47
00:02:11,654 --> 00:02:15,254
and our right to protect
our confidential sources,

48
00:02:15,288 --> 00:02:18,554
we hear some surprising news.

49
00:02:18,588 --> 00:02:22,088
Have you had a chance
to review this plea agreement?

50
00:02:22,121 --> 00:02:23,554
Yeah.

51
00:02:23,588 --> 00:02:26,121
It's pretty extraordinary
that he took a plea.

52
00:02:26,154 --> 00:02:29,121
News breaks that
Ernest "Dollar Bill" Moore,

53
00:02:29,154 --> 00:02:31,654
a person of interest
in our investigation,

54
00:02:31,688 --> 00:02:35,254
has pled guilty to federal
drug trafficking charges

55
00:02:35,288 --> 00:02:38,221
for selling narcotics
across state lines

56
00:02:38,254 --> 00:02:41,488
while in Gallipolis.

57
00:02:41,521 --> 00:02:44,621
So why do you think Dollar Bill
took this plea agreement?

58
00:02:44,654 --> 00:02:47,154
It's saying that he's going
to cooperate.

59
00:02:47,188 --> 00:02:50,154
The sentencing is, what,
May 30th?

60
00:02:50,188 --> 00:02:52,088
He wants to get that reduced.

61
00:02:52,121 --> 00:02:55,988
It says that he's the ring
leader in this drug bust.

62
00:02:56,088 --> 00:02:58,921
So, what's interesting with that
is if he's the ringleader,

63
00:02:58,954 --> 00:03:01,321
then who's he
cooperating against?

64
00:03:01,354 --> 00:03:04,488
Not his co-defendants.
He's the ringleader.

65
00:03:04,521 --> 00:03:05,821
Yeah.

66
00:03:05,854 --> 00:03:08,554
That means it's
a much bigger case.

67
00:03:08,588 --> 00:03:11,621
So, we're hoping
the big investigation,

68
00:03:11,654 --> 00:03:13,088
right is, is a RICO --

69
00:03:13,088 --> 00:03:14,954
racketeer-influenced,

70
00:03:14,988 --> 00:03:18,554
corrupt organization charge,
which allows you

71
00:03:18,588 --> 00:03:21,988
to take a look
at all these other offenses

72
00:03:22,088 --> 00:03:23,621
as part of
the bigger enterprise.

73
00:03:23,654 --> 00:03:28,188
So murders, extortion,
sale of illegal substances,

74
00:03:28,221 --> 00:03:30,388
trying to bribe officials,

75
00:03:30,421 --> 00:03:32,088
all of those smaller charges

76
00:03:32,088 --> 00:03:34,221
can be brought into
a bigger charge

77
00:03:34,254 --> 00:03:36,388
against the whole pool
of people.

78
00:03:36,421 --> 00:03:39,888
It also could explain
why they're freaked out

79
00:03:39,921 --> 00:03:41,888
and subpoenaed us
for any information

80
00:03:41,921 --> 00:03:44,088
relating to Dollar Bill.

81
00:03:44,088 --> 00:03:46,388
Like we've stepped
into a much bigger...

82
00:03:46,421 --> 00:03:48,488
Hornet's nest.
...case that's unfolding

83
00:03:48,521 --> 00:03:50,888
at the federal level.
Right, yeah.

84
00:03:50,921 --> 00:03:54,221
I think we have to at least
make some kind of a good effort

85
00:03:54,254 --> 00:03:56,721
to let the Feds know
that these women,

86
00:03:56,754 --> 00:03:59,354
their missing
and deaths, murders,

87
00:03:59,388 --> 00:04:03,554
could have something
to do with Dollar Bill.

88
00:04:03,588 --> 00:04:07,621
**

89
00:04:07,654 --> 00:04:10,554
Berlinger: A month after
receiving the subpoena,

90
00:04:10,588 --> 00:04:12,754
we get good news.

91
00:04:12,788 --> 00:04:14,588
Our legal team has persuaded

92
00:04:14,621 --> 00:04:17,088
Ross County Prosecutor
Matt Schmidt

93
00:04:17,088 --> 00:04:18,588
to rescind the subpoena.

94
00:04:18,621 --> 00:04:20,721
We provide him with some
pertinent information

95
00:04:20,754 --> 00:04:22,121
about our investigation,

96
00:04:22,154 --> 00:04:26,788
without revealing
our confidential sources.

97
00:04:26,821 --> 00:04:29,554
Dollar Bill's sentence
on the federal drug charges

98
00:04:29,588 --> 00:04:31,421
will be tacked
onto the 10 years

99
00:04:31,454 --> 00:04:34,121
he's already serving
for the 2015

100
00:04:34,154 --> 00:04:37,221
kidnapping and brutal torture
of Arthur Hamlin,

101
00:04:37,254 --> 00:04:40,688
a convicted drug dealer
who was working for him.

102
00:04:40,721 --> 00:04:43,621
Woman: Ernest Moore,
aka "Dollar Bill,"

103
00:04:43,654 --> 00:04:44,921
bound him with duct tape

104
00:04:44,954 --> 00:04:46,788
and forced him
into a duffel bag.

105
00:04:46,821 --> 00:04:48,588
Marks: He was stripped of his
clothing and tortured

106
00:04:48,621 --> 00:04:52,088
over a period of many hours.

107
00:04:52,121 --> 00:04:54,288
Berlinger: Inmate
Wallace "Cheese" Coleman

108
00:04:54,321 --> 00:04:56,221
is one of Dollar Bill's
accomplices

109
00:04:56,254 --> 00:04:58,254
in the torture
of Arthur Hamlin,

110
00:04:58,288 --> 00:05:01,188
and was sentenced
to 14 years in prison.

111
00:05:31,388 --> 00:05:33,588
Berlinger:
Hearing these gruesome details,

112
00:05:33,621 --> 00:05:35,121
we want to learn more about

113
00:05:35,154 --> 00:05:37,688
Dollar Bill's relationship
with Arthur Hamlin.

114
00:05:37,721 --> 00:05:42,354
We return to Ohio to track down
some of Dollar Bill's

115
00:05:42,388 --> 00:05:44,954
former business associates.

116
00:05:44,988 --> 00:05:47,688
Hodge: Artie was, like,
the key to Dollar Bill.

117
00:05:47,721 --> 00:05:50,521
Artie basically helped
Dollar Bill survive

118
00:05:50,554 --> 00:05:52,854
when he was in Chillicothe.

119
00:05:52,888 --> 00:05:55,454
Uh, he ran everything.

120
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:57,521
He brought all the money.

121
00:05:57,554 --> 00:06:00,554
He delivered all the drugs.

122
00:06:00,588 --> 00:06:02,754
Uh, he brought the girls.

123
00:06:02,788 --> 00:06:06,088
Um, he transported.

124
00:06:06,088 --> 00:06:07,888
Berlinger:
The two worked together

125
00:06:07,921 --> 00:06:10,854
until Dollar Bill felt
that Artie turned on him

126
00:06:10,888 --> 00:06:14,154
and stole drugs and thousands
of dollars in cash.

127
00:06:22,454 --> 00:06:24,721
A woman that we're
calling "Danielle"

128
00:06:24,754 --> 00:06:27,254
witnessed some
of Artie's torture.

129
00:06:27,288 --> 00:06:29,388
She bravely agrees
to speak to us

130
00:06:29,421 --> 00:06:32,088
on the condition of anonymity.

131
00:06:32,088 --> 00:06:35,088
Do you ever remember hearing
that he was gonna kill someone?

132
00:06:37,754 --> 00:06:41,288
Mm-hmm.
Why do you think he didn't?

133
00:06:43,388 --> 00:06:45,888
**

134
00:06:46,921 --> 00:06:49,321
Berlinger: Angela and Steve
obtain rarely-seen

135
00:06:49,354 --> 00:06:52,321
court documents
and shocking crime scene photos

136
00:06:52,354 --> 00:06:54,488
that outline new information

137
00:06:54,521 --> 00:06:56,854
about Artie's three day ordeal

138
00:06:56,888 --> 00:06:58,988
and who was behind it.

139
00:06:59,088 --> 00:07:00,988
That's amazing that
they released it, right?

140
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:02,554
Yeah.

141
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:04,321
Berlinger: These troubling
documents state that

142
00:07:04,354 --> 00:07:06,321
other people who stopped
by the trap house

143
00:07:06,354 --> 00:07:08,488
during that time were encouraged

144
00:07:08,521 --> 00:07:10,588
to take part in the torture.

145
00:07:10,621 --> 00:07:13,821
Clemente: It says, "Mr. Hamlin
advised that visitors

146
00:07:13,854 --> 00:07:15,621
were encouraged to hit, kick,

147
00:07:15,654 --> 00:07:19,154
and urinate on him
if they wanted to."

148
00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:21,654
Wow.

149
00:07:21,688 --> 00:07:24,288
Berlinger: We're even more
surprised to learn that

150
00:07:24,321 --> 00:07:26,121
Dollar Bill
had an elaborate plan

151
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,821
to get the torture
charges dropped.

152
00:07:28,854 --> 00:07:32,088
Clemente: Dollar Bill had gone
to Artie Hamlin,

153
00:07:32,121 --> 00:07:33,788
the one that he tortured,

154
00:07:33,821 --> 00:07:36,788
and picked him up
either at the hospital

155
00:07:36,821 --> 00:07:39,654
or when he was getting out of
the hospital for being tortured.

156
00:07:39,688 --> 00:07:41,121
And made him sign
that affidavit, right?

157
00:07:41,154 --> 00:07:43,488
And made him write an affidavit.

158
00:07:43,521 --> 00:07:48,388
"I, Arthur Hamlin, give this
statement on my own free will.

159
00:07:48,421 --> 00:07:50,654
I'm not being made to do this.

160
00:07:50,688 --> 00:07:52,154
It's on my own.

161
00:07:52,188 --> 00:07:55,221
I'm sober and in state of mine."

162
00:07:55,254 --> 00:07:58,288
"State of mine" --
M-I-N-E.

163
00:07:58,321 --> 00:08:00,554
Berlinger: Dollar Bill allegedly
forced Hamlin

164
00:08:00,588 --> 00:08:03,321
to write this bogus statement
to authorities,

165
00:08:03,354 --> 00:08:07,221
claiming he was tortured
by several unknown persons.

166
00:08:07,254 --> 00:08:10,288
And even more outrageous,
that Dollar Bill himself

167
00:08:10,321 --> 00:08:13,888
would have been tortured, too,
if he had not gotten away.

168
00:08:13,921 --> 00:08:15,654
Clemente: "Once inside,
a couple men

169
00:08:15,688 --> 00:08:20,688
pulled guns and a knife,
and we tried run out the door.

170
00:08:20,721 --> 00:08:24,154
Well, my friend made it out
the door and they caught me.

171
00:08:24,188 --> 00:08:25,988
They beat and tortured me."

172
00:08:26,088 --> 00:08:27,188
Wow.

173
00:08:27,221 --> 00:08:28,954
Joe, I mean,
I think his plan is

174
00:08:28,988 --> 00:08:31,121
he's got this affidavit
with Arthur Hamlin

175
00:08:31,154 --> 00:08:33,088
saying he had nothing
to do with it.

176
00:08:33,088 --> 00:08:36,654
Berlinger: But Dollar Bill's
plan backfires.

00:08:36,688 --> 00:08:39,221
When he takes the statement
to police,

178
00:08:39,254 --> 00:08:40,654
they don't believe him

179
00:08:40,688 --> 00:08:43,621
and immediately
place him under arrest.

180
00:08:43,654 --> 00:08:47,521
He later pleads guilty
and gets a 10-year sentence.

**

182
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:53,788
Because Arthur Hamlin was
Dollar Bill's right-hand man,

183
00:08:53,821 --> 00:08:56,521
we wonder if he has
some inside information

184
00:08:56,554 --> 00:08:59,121
about Dollar Bill's
possible involvement

185
00:08:59,154 --> 00:09:00,888
in the deaths
and disappearances

186
00:09:00,921 --> 00:09:03,188
we've been investigating.

187
00:09:03,221 --> 00:09:05,721
Steve tries to set up a meeting.

188
00:09:05,754 --> 00:09:07,788
I know what you went through.
I mean, I'm amazed

189
00:09:07,821 --> 00:09:09,921
that you survived
what you survived.

00:09:09,954 --> 00:09:12,954
Are you concerned
about your safety now?

191
00:09:12,988 --> 00:09:15,421
I can be at your house
in 15 minutes.

192
00:09:15,454 --> 00:09:17,354
Yep, absolutely.

193
00:09:17,388 --> 00:09:18,888

Volatile personality.

00:09:21,088 --> 00:09:23,421
This guy is just
all over the place.

196
00:09:23,454 --> 00:09:27,288
But this might be our one chance
to talk to him.

197
00:09:27,321 --> 00:09:28,721
Berlinger: Since his torture,

198
00:09:28,754 --> 00:09:30,454
Artie's been keeping
a low profile

199
00:09:30,488 --> 00:09:34,421
at a friend's trailer
on the outskirts of Chillicothe.

200
00:09:34,454 --> 00:09:35,921
What do we want to know
from Arthur Hamlin?

201
00:09:35,954 --> 00:09:38,421
We're gonna be there in,
it says, 10 minutes.

202

Clemente: I'm sure he knows
a lot about Dollar Bill

203
00:09:40,654 --> 00:09:42,554
and all the crimes
that took place

204
00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:44,688
because he was
so connected to him.

205
00:09:44,721 --> 00:09:46,288
He's critical.

206
00:09:46,321 --> 00:09:48,121

You know what,
that is my people.

No, no, no.
This is Joe Berlinger.

He's the director.

Okay.

Okay.

All right, you and you, come on.

Yep.

Berlinger: Artie gets angry

223
00:10:43,888 --> 00:10:46,454
and smashes
a baseball bat on the table,

224
00:10:46,488 --> 00:10:49,521
so we're concerned for
Angela and Steve's safety.

through the ringer.

All right, okay.

229
00:11:14,088 --> 00:11:16,488
Berlinger: Because of Artie's
seemingly volatile behavior,

230
00:11:16,521 --> 00:11:18,621
we're just not sure
how he'll react

231
00:11:18,654 --> 00:11:21,488
when we try to get
information from him.

232
00:11:21,521 --> 00:11:25,821
Our camera crew waits outside,
but we record audio,

233
00:11:25,854 --> 00:11:28,554
hoping Artie will be able
to confirm or deny

234
00:11:28,588 --> 00:11:31,321
details of Dollar Bill's
potential involvement

235
00:11:31,354 --> 00:11:33,721
in any of
the victim's cases.

00:11:47,854 --> 00:11:49,988
Bongardt: Can you tell us
about Charlotte?

237
00:11:51,621 --> 00:11:52,921
-Clemente: Yeah?
-Hamlin: Yup.

238
00:11:52,954 --> 00:11:55,088
Could you take us
to where she might be?

239
00:12:03,088 --> 00:12:05,221
Berlinger: After seeming to
indicate that the victims

240
00:12:05,254 --> 00:12:06,554
were indeed murdered,

241
00:12:06,588 --> 00:12:08,754
Artie immediately
corrects himself.

242
00:12:17,921 --> 00:12:20,088
Clemente: I'll believe you.
Bongardt: We'll believe you.

243
00:12:20,088 --> 00:12:21,854
Berlinger: Finally,
Steve and Angela

244
00:12:21,888 --> 00:12:23,788
get Artie comfortable
with the cameras

245
00:12:23,821 --> 00:12:26,888
and he allows us in.

246
00:12:26,921 --> 00:12:30,088
But right away, Artie
gets too close to Angela,

247
00:12:30,088 --> 00:12:33,454
making her and us
very uncomfortable.

248
00:12:33,488 --> 00:12:35,121
What?

249
00:12:37,088 --> 00:12:40,988
Despite her uneasiness,
Angela's determined to continue,

250
00:12:41,088 --> 00:12:43,421
hoping he'll
give us a lead.

251
00:12:51,554 --> 00:12:52,888
Okay, okay

252
00:12:56,821 --> 00:12:58,721
Okay?
So, you were close

253
00:12:58,754 --> 00:13:01,621
to Charlotte,
though, right?

254
00:13:01,654 --> 00:13:03,288
Yes.
You said that was your girl.

255
00:13:03,321 --> 00:13:04,588
Yes.

256
00:13:04,621 --> 00:13:07,388
I want to know where
I can go find her.

257
00:13:07,421 --> 00:13:08,688
Where can I go find her?

258
00:13:08,721 --> 00:13:09,854
Well, why don't you turn
the camera off

259
00:13:09,888 --> 00:13:10,921
and I'll tell ya?
Okay, cameras off.

260
00:13:10,954 --> 00:13:12,754
That's a dumb-ass question.

261
00:13:12,788 --> 00:13:15,554
Berlinger: Suddenly, Artie
whispers something

262
00:13:15,588 --> 00:13:17,088
into Angela's ear.

263
00:13:17,088 --> 00:13:19,321
But then he abruptly
ends the interview.

264
00:13:25,788 --> 00:13:28,621
Hey, what did he whisper to you?

265
00:13:28,654 --> 00:13:31,288
"Charlotte's on the railroad
tracks in Bainbridge."

266
00:13:31,321 --> 00:13:35,454
And he's told Winfield
and Campbell

267
00:13:35,488 --> 00:13:38,554
where she was and nobody
will go get her.

268
00:13:38,588 --> 00:13:41,921
Okay, that's -- conflicts
with, you know,

269
00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:44,288
being burned
on Dollar Bill's property.

270
00:13:44,321 --> 00:13:45,588
Right.

271
00:13:45,621 --> 00:13:47,621
And he's also very high,
so we gotta...

272
00:13:47,654 --> 00:13:49,954
He's also high, and this
is what he heard.

273
00:13:49,988 --> 00:13:52,721
He was in jail
during the time, he said.

274
00:13:52,754 --> 00:13:56,121
Berlinger: Artie suddenly gets
in a car with some friends,

275
00:13:56,154 --> 00:13:59,888
and we never hear
from him again.

276
00:13:59,921 --> 00:14:02,354
His alleged tip
that Charlotte Trego

277
00:14:02,388 --> 00:14:04,288
is buried somewhere
in Bainbridge

278
00:14:04,321 --> 00:14:06,854
is pure speculation
at this point

279
00:14:06,888 --> 00:14:09,454
and one of the many rumors
we've heard,

280
00:14:09,488 --> 00:14:12,821
but it does lead us
back to the same town

281
00:14:12,854 --> 00:14:17,121
where Tameka Lynch
was found dead in May of 2014.

282
00:14:17,154 --> 00:14:20,588
Man: Detectives say the body of
a woman discovered

283
00:14:20,621 --> 00:14:23,088
in Paint Creek
on Saturday near Bainbridge

284
00:14:23,088 --> 00:14:25,121
is Tameka Lynch.

285
00:14:25,154 --> 00:14:27,421
Berlinger: The 30-year-old
mother of three

286
00:14:27,454 --> 00:14:29,988
is the second woman
to go missing in Chillicothe,

287
00:14:30,088 --> 00:14:33,254
and the first body
to be found.

288
00:14:33,288 --> 00:14:36,454
Earlier in our investigation,

289
00:14:36,488 --> 00:14:39,088
Cheese told us
a man named Crail Brooks

290
00:14:39,088 --> 00:14:41,354
is responsible
for Tameka's death,

291
00:14:41,388 --> 00:14:44,654
and may also have
killed Charlotte Trego.

292
00:15:26,588 --> 00:15:29,354
Berlinger: A woman who does not
want to be identified

293
00:15:29,388 --> 00:15:32,254
tells us about the brutality
she suffered

294
00:15:32,288 --> 00:15:34,288
at the hands of Crail Brooks.

295
00:15:41,688 --> 00:15:44,354
Sources tell us
that Crail Brooks

296
00:15:44,388 --> 00:15:47,454
is a small-time drug dealer
who worked for Dollar Bill.

297
00:15:52,354 --> 00:15:53,788
He was -- Mm-hmm.

298
00:16:08,254 --> 00:16:10,454
Cheese told us

299
00:16:10,488 --> 00:16:13,554
Tameka died at a house party in
Bainbridge, Ohio,

300
00:16:13,588 --> 00:16:15,954
20 miles from Chillicothe.

301
00:16:15,988 --> 00:16:18,821
So, this party area is, like,
really becoming critical,

302
00:16:18,854 --> 00:16:20,088
I think.

303
00:16:20,121 --> 00:16:21,621
Bongardt: I think it's important

304
00:16:21,654 --> 00:16:24,254
because the girls
that were missing starts there.

305
00:16:24,288 --> 00:16:27,088
There was a history
with Tameka and people

306
00:16:27,088 --> 00:16:29,788
that were at this party.

307
00:16:29,821 --> 00:16:31,621
Berlinger: Shyla Woodruff,

308
00:16:31,654 --> 00:16:34,221
a woman who hung out
in the same circles as Tameka,

309
00:16:34,254 --> 00:16:36,221
seems to know more
about her death

310
00:16:36,254 --> 00:16:38,388
than Tameka's own family.

311
00:16:38,421 --> 00:16:41,321
As I'm going through her
Facebook page,

312
00:16:41,354 --> 00:16:44,554
there was a point
where she had stated

313
00:16:44,588 --> 00:16:47,088
something like "In our prayers."

314
00:16:47,088 --> 00:16:50,088
And it was at a time
when Tameka's body

315
00:16:50,088 --> 00:16:51,921
had just been found,

316
00:16:51,954 --> 00:16:55,454
but they hadn't identified
in public that --

317
00:16:55,488 --> 00:16:58,721
that this is Tameka
that was found.

318
00:16:58,754 --> 00:17:00,621
Bongardt: How did she know
before anyone else?

319
00:17:00,654 --> 00:17:02,688
Charlotte Trego is still
missing at this time,

320
00:17:02,721 --> 00:17:04,888
so it could be Charlotte,
could be someone else,

321
00:17:04,921 --> 00:17:06,354
you don't know.

322
00:17:06,388 --> 00:17:07,821
For her to make that
jump that it is Tameka

323
00:17:07,854 --> 00:17:09,988
and be correct indicates

324
00:17:10,088 --> 00:17:11,921
some kind of inside information.

325
00:17:15,721 --> 00:17:18,354
Berlinger:
Shyla agrees to an interview,

326
00:17:18,388 --> 00:17:21,621
but before it takes place,
we share the information

327
00:17:21,654 --> 00:17:24,088
with the Chillicothe
Police Department.

328
00:17:24,088 --> 00:17:28,354
Shyla has decided
she will speak to us today.

329
00:17:28,388 --> 00:17:30,121
You know,
she's gonna tell us about

330
00:17:30,154 --> 00:17:32,088
her relationship with Tameka.

331
00:17:32,088 --> 00:17:34,688
Um, due to the active state
of the investigation,

332
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:37,788
I would like for,
obviously --

333
00:17:37,821 --> 00:17:40,221
I'm just not gonna
comment on it.

334
00:17:40,254 --> 00:17:43,121
We'll just leave it at that.

335
00:17:43,154 --> 00:17:45,088
Berlinger: Later,
as we sit and wait

336
00:17:45,088 --> 00:17:47,188
for Shyla to show up
for the interview,

337
00:17:47,221 --> 00:17:49,554
our associate producer
interrupts us

338
00:17:49,588 --> 00:17:51,288
with some important news.

339
00:17:51,321 --> 00:17:53,821
Sorry.
So yeah, I just tried her.

340
00:17:53,854 --> 00:17:56,454
Uh, it was an interesting call,
to say the least.

341
00:17:56,488 --> 00:18:00,088
She said, either "I'm on
my [bleep] way," and hung up,

342
00:18:00,088 --> 00:18:02,088
or "I hope you [bleep] die,"
and hung up.

343
00:18:02,121 --> 00:18:04,421
Wow.

344
00:18:04,454 --> 00:18:08,354
Berlinger: Shyla Woodruff's
sudden no-show has us wondering,

345
00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:11,288
is there a leak in the
Chillicothe Police Department?

346
00:18:11,321 --> 00:18:14,954
Was she warned we were
about to ask how she knew

347
00:18:14,988 --> 00:18:17,888
Tameka was dead
before the public did?

348
00:18:29,354 --> 00:18:32,288
Berlinger: After hearing rumors
that Crail Brooks

349
00:18:32,321 --> 00:18:34,488
may have killed Tameka by
a hot shot

350
00:18:34,521 --> 00:18:36,354
at a party in Bainbridge,

351
00:18:36,388 --> 00:18:38,121
Tameka Lynch's parents,

352
00:18:38,154 --> 00:18:40,354
Angela Robinson and Tommy Lee,

353
00:18:40,388 --> 00:18:43,121
take us back to
the Paint Creek sandbar

354
00:18:43,154 --> 00:18:45,788
where their daughter's
body was found.

355
00:18:45,821 --> 00:18:48,688
Clemente: We're gonna look at
the location here shortly.

356
00:18:50,388 --> 00:18:53,221
Berlinger: We want to determine,
is there a link

357
00:18:53,254 --> 00:18:56,188
between Crail
and Tameka's death?

358
00:19:01,654 --> 00:19:03,854
Berlinger:
It's covered in snow now.

359
00:19:03,888 --> 00:19:06,254
And even though it's been
more than two years,

360
00:19:06,288 --> 00:19:08,421
their emotions are still raw.

361
00:19:19,821 --> 00:19:21,788
And she was right there
on the sandbar.

362
00:19:28,321 --> 00:19:31,388
Clemente:
Notice there's a house here.

363
00:19:31,421 --> 00:19:33,688
There's a house there.

364
00:19:33,721 --> 00:19:35,454
There's an embankment here,

365
00:19:35,488 --> 00:19:38,721
and there's a home here.

366
00:19:38,754 --> 00:19:41,588
This is somebody familiar.

367
00:19:41,621 --> 00:19:43,788
This is someone familiar
with this area.

368
00:19:52,921 --> 00:19:56,421
I think the story
that we've heard is true.

369
00:19:56,454 --> 00:19:58,888
Crail.
Right.

370
00:19:58,921 --> 00:20:00,788
I think that Crail did it.

371
00:20:00,821 --> 00:20:04,421
I think that they started
at his house.

372
00:20:04,454 --> 00:20:06,754
I think
something happened there,

373
00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:08,621
and he killed her there.

374
00:20:08,654 --> 00:20:11,188
And then so Charlotte wouldn't
be able to say anything,

375
00:20:11,221 --> 00:20:14,088
I think that he really
did set her on fire.

376
00:20:14,121 --> 00:20:18,421
He supposedly had bragged
to a couple of people afterwards

377
00:20:18,454 --> 00:20:20,588
and he was talking about,
he finally did it.

378
00:20:20,621 --> 00:20:22,888
He finally cut up a body.

379
00:20:22,921 --> 00:20:25,021
Let me ask you something,

380
00:20:25,054 --> 00:20:29,121
because there's so many other
women missing and murdered.

381
00:20:29,154 --> 00:20:30,888
What about the rest of them?

382
00:20:30,921 --> 00:20:33,288
What do you think
the involvement is?

383
00:20:35,954 --> 00:20:38,288
-A lot of people involved?
-Yes.

384
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:49,954
Berlinger: Crail Brooks
was questioned about

385
00:20:49,988 --> 00:20:51,421
Tameka Lynch's death

386
00:20:51,454 --> 00:20:53,788
and the disappearance
of Charlotte Trego,

387
00:20:53,821 --> 00:20:55,921
but he was never charged.

388
00:20:58,054 --> 00:21:02,154
However, he was arrested for
drug trafficking in Bainbridge

389
00:21:02,188 --> 00:21:05,888
just 12 days after
Tameka's body was found.

390
00:21:08,354 --> 00:21:12,154
Early in our investigation,
Wallace "Cheese" Coleman

391
00:21:12,188 --> 00:21:16,088
alleged that Crail
did not act alone.

392
00:21:16,088 --> 00:21:17,821
Coleman: I don't know
the guy's last name,

393
00:21:17,854 --> 00:21:19,988
but I know his first name
is Preston.

394
00:21:20,088 --> 00:21:24,421
He's a white guy.
He's from here in Chillicothe.

395
00:21:24,454 --> 00:21:27,854
Berlinger: In a phone interview
from prison, Jason McCrary

396
00:21:27,888 --> 00:21:31,154
also says a man named
Preston is involved.

397
00:21:36,388 --> 00:21:38,221
Clemente: Do you know where
they dumped her?

398
00:21:44,088 --> 00:21:46,188
Berlinger: Angela tracks down
the address

399
00:21:46,221 --> 00:21:49,688
for Crail's alleged accomplice,
Preston Colter.

400
00:21:49,721 --> 00:21:51,154
Clemente: I'd like to try
to find out if --

401
00:21:51,188 --> 00:21:52,988
if he was definitely involved.

402
00:21:53,088 --> 00:21:56,488
Or if he wasn't, I want
to assess his behaviors.

403
00:21:56,521 --> 00:21:58,854
Berlinger: Preston Colter was
released from

404
00:21:58,888 --> 00:22:02,221
an Ohio State prison
in February 2017

405
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:06,388
where he served
30 months for burglary.

406
00:22:06,421 --> 00:22:09,888
It's possible Preston
took part in Tameka's death

407
00:22:09,921 --> 00:22:11,388
and may be dangerous,

408
00:22:11,421 --> 00:22:15,088
so Angela brings security
along for protection.

409
00:22:15,088 --> 00:22:16,988
Clemente: He's not gonna wanna
talk to me.

410
00:22:17,088 --> 00:22:18,554
Hello.

411
00:22:18,588 --> 00:22:21,254
Hi.
I'm looking for Preston.

412
00:22:21,288 --> 00:22:22,588
Oh, right here.

413
00:22:22,621 --> 00:22:23,754
Could I speak to him?

414
00:22:23,788 --> 00:22:26,221
My name's Angela.

415
00:22:26,254 --> 00:22:27,421
[ Dog barks ]
Hi, Preston.

416
00:22:27,454 --> 00:22:29,088
He don't bite.
He won't bite? Okay.

417
00:22:29,088 --> 00:22:30,521
Can I come in?
Yeah.

418
00:22:30,554 --> 00:22:32,721
Berlinger: But Preston is
surprisingly open to

419
00:22:32,754 --> 00:22:34,854
talking about Tameka
and Charlotte's cases,

420
00:22:34,888 --> 00:22:36,854
and admits he knows
both of them.

421
00:22:36,888 --> 00:22:40,354
So Preston, I appreciate
you talking to me.

422
00:22:40,388 --> 00:22:42,754
Um, you had a polygraph done?
Yes, ma'am.

423
00:22:42,788 --> 00:22:44,921
Two polygraph tests.
Two polygraphs?

424
00:22:44,954 --> 00:22:46,721
Two. Yes, ma'am.
And what kind of questions

425
00:22:46,754 --> 00:22:48,921
were they asking
on the polygraph?

426
00:22:48,954 --> 00:22:52,388
Like, for Tameka, they asked,
did I kill her,

427
00:22:52,421 --> 00:22:55,888
and you know,
I of course answered no.

428
00:22:55,921 --> 00:22:58,154
And they asked that
for Charlotte, also.

429
00:22:58,188 --> 00:23:01,454
Since I didn't kill her,
did I know who killed her?

430
00:23:01,488 --> 00:23:05,288
I, you know, answered no
to both of them questions

431
00:23:05,321 --> 00:23:07,221
and, uh, passed those clearly.

432
00:23:07,254 --> 00:23:10,754
You knew Crail?
You know Crail?

433
00:23:10,788 --> 00:23:14,621
I don't know him,
but I know him.

434
00:23:14,654 --> 00:23:16,288
Okay.
You know, I don't know him,

435
00:23:16,321 --> 00:23:17,788
like,
to ever say like I say,

436
00:23:17,821 --> 00:23:21,221
like I would never
put no bad juju

437
00:23:21,254 --> 00:23:24,388
or whatever you want to call it,
dirt, whatever, on his name,

438
00:23:24,421 --> 00:23:27,788
but I just know,
like, of him.

439
00:23:27,821 --> 00:23:30,621
Why is it, do you think,

440
00:23:30,654 --> 00:23:33,454
that you of all people
in Chillicothe,

441
00:23:33,488 --> 00:23:35,621
that they were
associating your name

442
00:23:35,654 --> 00:23:37,988
with Tameka and Charlotte?

443
00:23:40,421 --> 00:23:43,388
I -- I...
I don't know.

444
00:23:43,421 --> 00:23:47,288
Maybe because, you know,

445
00:23:47,321 --> 00:23:49,588
I hung out
with the drug crowd, maybe?

446
00:23:49,621 --> 00:23:51,954
If I had to guess,
that would be it.

447
00:23:51,988 --> 00:23:55,721
"Oh, well he hung out
with the people who done drugs,"

448
00:23:55,754 --> 00:23:58,788
or, "He's been seen with
these people who done drugs,

449
00:23:58,821 --> 00:24:01,821
so maybe he knows
something," you know.

450
00:24:01,854 --> 00:24:05,454
Just a maybe-type question,
you know,

451
00:24:05,488 --> 00:24:07,188
and they just threw it out
there to hopefully

452
00:24:07,221 --> 00:24:09,288
get something from it.

453
00:24:09,321 --> 00:24:11,488
**

454
00:24:11,521 --> 00:24:14,321
Berlinger:
While Preston seems believable,

455
00:24:14,354 --> 00:24:16,688
and says
he passed two polygraphs,

456
00:24:16,721 --> 00:24:19,088
multiple sources say
he and Crail

457
00:24:19,088 --> 00:24:20,788
did know each other

458
00:24:20,821 --> 00:24:23,521
and were together
the night Tameka died.

459
00:24:36,654 --> 00:24:38,888
and his possible connection
to both

460
00:24:38,921 --> 00:24:41,954
Tameka and Charlotte's cases,
we follow up on a tip

461
00:24:41,988 --> 00:24:45,121
that we received earlier
about a missing cellphone

462
00:24:45,154 --> 00:24:47,688
that belonged to Megan Kellough,

463
00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:49,888
a 26 year-old Chillicothe woman

464
00:24:49,921 --> 00:24:51,888
who allegedly allegedly
died of

465
00:24:51,921 --> 00:24:55,888
an accidental overdose
in December of 2015.

466
00:24:55,921 --> 00:24:58,888
Megan's phone allegedly
contains solid evidence

467
00:24:58,921 --> 00:25:02,254
that might implicate
Crail Brooks.

468
00:25:02,288 --> 00:25:04,954
So, we're going to talk
to Robin Kellough,

469
00:25:04,988 --> 00:25:06,421
the mother of Megan Kellough.

470
00:25:06,454 --> 00:25:07,954
You know, they kind
of just dismissed it

471
00:25:07,988 --> 00:25:09,621
as being just an overdose.

472
00:25:09,654 --> 00:25:11,921
Berlinger: But Robin
doesn't believe

473
00:25:11,954 --> 00:25:13,954
her daughter
accidentally OD'd.

474
00:25:13,988 --> 00:25:15,654
She thinks Megan was murdered,

475
00:25:15,688 --> 00:25:18,954
given a hotshot
for knowing too much.

476
00:25:18,988 --> 00:25:22,188
That phone was found
when Megan was found dead.

477
00:25:22,221 --> 00:25:23,921
Supposedly, there's
a conversation

478
00:25:23,954 --> 00:25:26,154
on there that Megan taped
between her and Crail Brooks

479
00:25:26,188 --> 00:25:28,321
where Crail is talking
about the death of Tameka...

480
00:25:28,354 --> 00:25:30,188
Okay.
...and Charlotte.

481
00:25:30,221 --> 00:25:31,788
And that's really important.

482
00:25:31,821 --> 00:25:33,754
And that's very --
that could be very important.

483
00:25:33,788 --> 00:25:35,088
Berlinger: But Megan's phone

484
00:25:35,121 --> 00:25:36,988
seems to have
mysteriously disappeared

485
00:25:37,088 --> 00:25:39,454
from the police evidence locker.

486
00:25:39,488 --> 00:25:41,188
Early in our investigation

487
00:25:41,221 --> 00:25:44,754
we had asked detective Bud Lytle
about the cellphone.

488
00:25:44,788 --> 00:25:49,154
Clemente: Apparently, there was
a cellphone recording

489
00:25:49,188 --> 00:25:51,954
of Crail Brooks

490
00:25:51,988 --> 00:25:55,954
describing how he murdered
Tameka and Charlotte

491
00:25:55,988 --> 00:25:59,621
that was given
to this police department.

492
00:25:59,654 --> 00:26:03,088
That's news to me.

493
00:26:03,088 --> 00:26:05,688
To my knowledge, um,

494
00:26:05,721 --> 00:26:09,221
that conversation,
or that recording,

495
00:26:09,254 --> 00:26:10,988
I've never heard it

496
00:26:11,088 --> 00:26:13,954
and I don't know
that it truly exists.

497
00:26:20,721 --> 00:26:22,421
Could you tell me everything
you can remember

498
00:26:22,454 --> 00:26:24,854
about that conversation
that was recorded on that phone?

499
00:26:24,888 --> 00:26:27,088
She was asking Crail
if he was around

500
00:26:27,088 --> 00:26:29,254
when it happened
to Charlotte and Tameka.

501
00:26:29,288 --> 00:26:31,354
He said, "Hell yeah,
them bitches robbed me."

502
00:26:31,388 --> 00:26:33,188
So, hell yeah,
I killed them."

503
00:26:33,221 --> 00:26:36,421
He said, "Well, Tameka,
she overdosed."

504
00:26:36,454 --> 00:26:38,221
So they put her out
in the water,

505
00:26:38,254 --> 00:26:41,688
and they had Charlotte do it.
Well, Charlotte had flipped out.

506
00:26:41,721 --> 00:26:43,488
Well, they beat
her up real bad.

507
00:26:43,521 --> 00:26:46,688
So, Crail said they had to go
ahead and finish Charlotte,

508
00:26:46,721 --> 00:26:49,088
and Dollar Bill was there.

509
00:26:49,088 --> 00:26:50,988
He just went around
bragging that he killed

510
00:26:51,088 --> 00:26:52,554
Charlotte and Tameka.
He was sta--

511
00:26:52,588 --> 00:26:54,421
You heard it
from Dollar Bill?

512
00:26:54,454 --> 00:26:57,821
Yeah, I heard it, in person.

513
00:26:57,854 --> 00:27:00,254
He said, "Ain't no evidence,
ain't nobody going down for it,

514
00:27:00,288 --> 00:27:02,421
so it don't matter."

515
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:05,088
Did he say -- Did he give
any details when he,

516
00:27:05,121 --> 00:27:06,421
Dollar Bill,
was talking to you?

517
00:27:06,454 --> 00:27:08,088
Details, yeah.
No, he just claimed

518
00:27:08,121 --> 00:27:09,588
that he did it.
The only person

519
00:27:09,621 --> 00:27:11,454
that gave the detail
was over the phone,

520
00:27:11,488 --> 00:27:13,154
and that was Crail.

521
00:27:13,188 --> 00:27:14,921
Can you walk me a little bit
through the process

522
00:27:14,954 --> 00:27:18,254
of how you've tried to get,
you know, the phone back?

523
00:27:18,288 --> 00:27:19,588
I was going every day.
How often often, how long?

524
00:27:19,621 --> 00:27:21,254
I was going every day.

525
00:27:21,288 --> 00:27:22,788
To try to get that phone?

526
00:27:22,821 --> 00:27:25,088
Because I knew what
was on that phone,

527
00:27:25,121 --> 00:27:27,088
because I heard it myself.

528
00:27:27,121 --> 00:27:30,388
So, I wanna read
you something, okay?

529
00:27:30,421 --> 00:27:32,921
I'm going to read you something.
Have you see the police report?

530
00:27:32,954 --> 00:27:34,388
No.

531
00:27:34,421 --> 00:27:36,254
Berlinger: We show Robin
the initial police report

532
00:27:36,288 --> 00:27:38,588
that states
Detective Twila Goble

533
00:27:38,621 --> 00:27:41,121
took Megan's cellphone
into evidence

534
00:27:41,154 --> 00:27:43,754
at the scene
where her body was found.

535
00:27:43,788 --> 00:27:47,721
I'm pissed.
I'm pissed.

536
00:27:47,754 --> 00:27:50,921
They said the phone
wasn't even brought there.

537
00:27:50,954 --> 00:27:53,288
Berlinger: Robin's concerns
about Twila Goble

538
00:27:53,321 --> 00:27:55,421
didn't end with the cellphone.

539
00:27:55,454 --> 00:27:59,254
She says Detective Goble
took Megan and Charlotte Trego

540
00:27:59,288 --> 00:28:02,288
out of state
to Detroit, Michigan,

541
00:28:02,321 --> 00:28:04,688
250 miles
from Chillicothe,

542
00:28:04,721 --> 00:28:07,321
shortly before their deaths.

543
00:28:07,354 --> 00:28:09,954
I said, "Why in the hell
would you get in a car

544
00:28:09,988 --> 00:28:11,621
with Twila Goble?"

545
00:28:11,654 --> 00:28:12,954
"She was just taking
us up there.

546
00:28:12,988 --> 00:28:14,088
We were going to have
a good time,

547
00:28:14,088 --> 00:28:16,488
go shopping up and everything."

548
00:28:16,521 --> 00:28:18,788
"Why would Twila Goble
take you shopping?"

549
00:28:18,821 --> 00:28:20,621
She said, "Ma," she says,

550
00:28:20,654 --> 00:28:24,188
"You don't know
how well I know Twila."

551
00:28:24,221 --> 00:28:26,221
She said Twila was
feeding them dope, too.

552
00:28:26,254 --> 00:28:29,188
Your daughter told you
that Twila was actually

553
00:28:29,221 --> 00:28:30,821
giving them dope
during this time?

554
00:28:30,854 --> 00:28:32,221
She kept them high, yes.

555
00:28:32,254 --> 00:28:33,988
You heard that
from your daughter's mouth?

556
00:28:34,088 --> 00:28:36,121
Yes, my daughter said that.

557
00:28:36,154 --> 00:28:38,688
Wow.

558
00:28:40,654 --> 00:28:43,688
I can't see Twila running off
with these girls

559
00:28:43,721 --> 00:28:47,688
unless they were
working for her.

560
00:28:47,721 --> 00:28:49,988
Maybe she's using them

561
00:28:50,088 --> 00:28:52,554
to get to someone else.

562
00:29:11,421 --> 00:29:14,088
Berlinger:
If what Robin says is true,

563
00:29:14,121 --> 00:29:16,121
we wonder if there is a problem

564
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:19,121
at the Chillicothe
Police Department.

565
00:29:19,154 --> 00:29:21,788
We can't confirm
if any allegations

566
00:29:21,821 --> 00:29:24,254
against law enforcement
are true,

567
00:29:24,288 --> 00:29:26,888
and we know that there
are many dedicated

568
00:29:26,921 --> 00:29:28,288
and hard-working members

569
00:29:28,321 --> 00:29:31,354
of the Chillicothe
Police Department.

570
00:29:31,388 --> 00:29:35,088
However, accusations
of police misconduct

571
00:29:35,088 --> 00:29:37,788
are becoming a common theme.

572
00:29:44,921 --> 00:29:48,521
Although people
involved in criminal activity

573
00:29:48,554 --> 00:29:51,888
often make unfounded accusations
against the police,

574
00:29:51,921 --> 00:29:54,254
our confidential informant,
"Danielle,"

575
00:29:54,288 --> 00:29:56,088
said she personally witnessed

576
00:29:56,121 --> 00:30:00,021
questionable behavior
by Officer Chip Campbell.

577
00:30:25,721 --> 00:30:26,821
Mm-hmm.

578
00:30:28,321 --> 00:30:30,454
How about Chip Campbell
and Dollar Bill

579
00:30:30,488 --> 00:30:32,221
getting mixed up together,

580
00:30:32,254 --> 00:30:35,754
you know, from point of he was
an informant or possible snitch?

581
00:30:56,254 --> 00:30:57,454
Mm-hmm.

582
00:30:58,621 --> 00:31:00,688
Berlinger:
Our confidential informant

583
00:31:00,721 --> 00:31:04,921
isn't the only one with stories
of alleged problematic behavior

584
00:31:04,954 --> 00:31:07,454
involving Officer Chip Campbell.

585
00:31:07,488 --> 00:31:10,288
From our office in New York,
we talk with

586
00:31:10,321 --> 00:31:13,488
former Chillicothe drug dealer,
Ronald Wollum,

587
00:31:13,521 --> 00:31:18,088
in an interview via the prison's
video-visitation system.

588
00:31:18,088 --> 00:31:21,821
Do you know of any police
corruption that Chip Campbell

589
00:31:21,854 --> 00:31:23,954
might have taken part in?

590
00:31:23,988 --> 00:31:26,688
Absolutely.
[Bleep] [Bleep]

591
00:31:50,154 --> 00:31:52,788
Do you know which
girls were actually working

592
00:31:52,821 --> 00:31:54,854
with Chip or Twila?

593
00:32:08,088 --> 00:32:09,854
What was Chip Campbell

594
00:32:09,888 --> 00:32:12,254
and Twila Goble's relationship
with Dollar Bill,

595
00:32:12,288 --> 00:32:13,654
if you know?

596
00:32:30,088 --> 00:32:33,188
Berlinger: Two sources have come
forward with allegations

597
00:32:33,221 --> 00:32:36,088
that Dollar Bill was working
as an informant

598
00:32:36,121 --> 00:32:38,854
for Officer Chip Campbell.

599
00:32:38,888 --> 00:32:42,421
If these allegations are true,
it would be ironic

600
00:32:42,454 --> 00:32:45,088
that someone who may have
been killing these women

601
00:32:45,088 --> 00:32:47,754
because they were informants
may have been

602
00:32:47,788 --> 00:32:50,288
an informant himself.

603
00:33:23,321 --> 00:33:27,588
of individual acts of police
misconduct in Chillicothe,

604
00:33:27,621 --> 00:33:30,588
we re-examine the case
of Timberly Claytor.

605
00:33:30,621 --> 00:33:33,321
Woman: Ross County Sheriff's
Office confirms

606
00:33:33,354 --> 00:33:35,854
38-year-old Timberly Claytor
is the woman

607
00:33:35,888 --> 00:33:38,421
found shot to death
outside Chillicothe.

608
00:33:38,454 --> 00:33:40,254
Berlinger: Timberly's case

609
00:33:40,288 --> 00:33:43,121
is the only one
that has gone to trial.

610
00:33:43,154 --> 00:33:46,321
By looking into how police
handled the investigation,

611
00:33:46,354 --> 00:33:47,821
it may shine a light on

612
00:33:47,854 --> 00:33:50,121
how they are treating
potential witnesses

613
00:33:50,154 --> 00:33:52,321
in the other
victim's cases.

614
00:33:52,354 --> 00:33:54,521
Man: We, the jury in this case,
find the defendant,

615
00:33:54,554 --> 00:33:57,454
Jason McCrary,
guilty of murder.

616
00:33:57,488 --> 00:34:00,188
Berlinger: Jason's guilty
verdict is due in large part

617
00:34:00,221 --> 00:34:02,654
to the testimony
of the only eye witness,

618
00:34:02,688 --> 00:34:04,388
Jessica Lowry,

619
00:34:04,421 --> 00:34:07,421
who declined to have
her face shown on camera.

620
00:34:12,421 --> 00:34:16,088
But Jason points the finger
at Ernest "Dollar Bill" Moore,

621
00:34:16,088 --> 00:34:18,854
a person of interest
in our investigation.

622
00:34:18,888 --> 00:34:20,488
It was Dollar Bill.

623
00:34:20,521 --> 00:34:24,688
All I heard was,
"pop, pop-pop" like that.

624
00:34:24,721 --> 00:34:27,321
Berlinger: Now, we've been able
to secure

625
00:34:27,354 --> 00:34:29,721
the actual police
body camera footage

626
00:34:29,754 --> 00:34:32,421
that appears to
put into question

627
00:34:32,454 --> 00:34:35,388
the validity
of Jessica's testimony.

628
00:34:35,421 --> 00:34:38,488
Clemente: So, it's
Detective Winfield's body cam

629
00:34:38,521 --> 00:34:41,388
taking the star witness
against Jason McCrary

630
00:34:41,421 --> 00:34:43,388
out to the scene of the crime

631
00:34:43,421 --> 00:34:45,921
where Timberly Claytor
was murdered.

632
00:34:45,954 --> 00:34:48,088
Berlinger: Even though
Detective Winfield

633
00:34:48,121 --> 00:34:49,921
parks on the side
of the building

634
00:34:49,954 --> 00:34:51,554
where Timberly's body was found,

635
00:34:51,588 --> 00:34:53,521
Jessica walks him straight over

636
00:34:53,554 --> 00:34:55,988
to the wrong side
of the building.

637
00:35:12,854 --> 00:35:14,821
Now, watch what he does.

638
00:35:28,621 --> 00:35:30,654
He takes the flashlight
and flashes it.

639
00:35:30,688 --> 00:35:33,321
Now, do you notice
what he's flashing at?

640
00:35:33,354 --> 00:35:35,754
He's flashing at the cross.

641
00:35:35,788 --> 00:35:37,888
And says, "You sure?"

642
00:35:37,921 --> 00:35:39,454
Berlinger:
Whether purposefully or not,

643
00:35:39,488 --> 00:35:41,721
it appears that
Detective Winfield

644
00:35:41,754 --> 00:35:43,454
may be leading the witness

645
00:35:43,488 --> 00:35:45,654
to change her
original statement.

646
00:35:49,188 --> 00:35:50,821
That's kinda coercing.

647
00:35:50,854 --> 00:35:53,788
And he keeps pointing
to the memorial cross

648
00:35:53,821 --> 00:35:56,088
of where her body was found.
Right. Right.

649
00:35:56,088 --> 00:35:58,754
Berlinger: Is Jessica Lowry
a credible witness?

650
00:35:58,788 --> 00:36:01,488
At trial, Defense Attorney
Greg Meyers tries

651
00:36:01,521 --> 00:36:03,521
to poke holes in her story.

652
00:36:03,554 --> 00:36:05,354
Meyers: Now, do you remember you
talked to

653
00:36:05,388 --> 00:36:06,888
Detective Winfield
and he kept asking

654
00:36:06,921 --> 00:36:08,521
if you were sure,
"Are you sure, are you sure?"

655
00:36:08,888 --> 00:36:10,954
And then, you changed your mind.

656
00:36:12,888 --> 00:36:14,521
[ Telephone rings ]

657
00:36:14,554 --> 00:36:17,388
Berlinger: Those close to
Jessica tell us her testimony

658
00:36:17,421 --> 00:36:19,954
may be tied to getting custody
of her child.

659
00:36:21,388 --> 00:36:23,721
Hi,
this is Angela Clemente.

660
00:36:23,754 --> 00:36:25,521
How are you?

661
00:36:27,088 --> 00:36:29,454
Berlinger: Angela contacts
the father of

662
00:36:29,488 --> 00:36:32,988
Jessica Lowry's daughter to find
out if Jessica had any reason

663
00:36:33,088 --> 00:36:36,154
to potentially falsify
her testimony.

664
00:36:36,188 --> 00:36:39,488
He requested that we not record
the conversation.

665
00:36:39,521 --> 00:36:41,654
How did you hear, um, that --

666
00:36:41,688 --> 00:36:44,354
that she made a deal
with the D.A.?

667
00:36:44,388 --> 00:36:46,088
Berlinger:
Although Jessica Lowry

668
00:36:46,088 --> 00:36:49,654
had previously been determined
to be an unfit mother,

669
00:36:49,688 --> 00:36:53,821
he tells Angela that around the
time of Jason McCrary's trial,

670
00:36:53,854 --> 00:36:57,988
she suddenly regained custody
of her daughter.

671
00:36:58,088 --> 00:37:01,354
So, do you feel that
she was given custody back

672
00:37:01,388 --> 00:37:05,088
because she testified?

673
00:37:05,088 --> 00:37:08,688
He's saying she was offered
this deal with the DA,

674
00:37:08,721 --> 00:37:11,688
and he lost custody.
And so...

675
00:37:11,721 --> 00:37:13,554
So, she's cooperating
to get her children back.

676
00:37:13,588 --> 00:37:15,254
So, she's cooperating.

677
00:37:15,288 --> 00:37:17,754
There might be a pattern
of the detectives

678
00:37:17,788 --> 00:37:20,688
threatening women.
Threatened to take her children.

679
00:37:20,721 --> 00:37:21,854
Wow.

680
00:37:21,888 --> 00:37:24,188
It changes
the whole trial story.

681
00:37:24,221 --> 00:37:29,088
Well, it makes the McCrary
conviction seem quite dubious.

682
00:37:29,088 --> 00:37:30,754
It does.

683
00:37:30,788 --> 00:37:33,454
And no wonder they
subpoenaed our material,

684
00:37:33,488 --> 00:37:36,188
because that prosecutor
is very concerned

685
00:37:36,221 --> 00:37:39,421
about the integrity of that
conviction, I'm sure.

686
00:37:39,454 --> 00:37:41,721
Right. And, you know,
we've got a prosecutor

687
00:37:41,754 --> 00:37:44,588
that's directly involved.

688
00:37:44,621 --> 00:37:47,554
If you look at the whole
trial in totality

689
00:37:47,588 --> 00:37:50,388
and then you add
all of these other pieces

690
00:37:50,421 --> 00:37:53,888
that we've now gathered
in our investigation,

691
00:37:53,921 --> 00:37:56,388
there needs to be a new trial.

692
00:37:56,421 --> 00:38:00,088
And -- and they need to re-look
at this whole case again.

693
00:38:12,154 --> 00:38:14,088
Berlinger: After the conviction,

694
00:38:14,121 --> 00:38:17,254
Angela cultivates a relationship
with Jason McCrary

695
00:38:17,288 --> 00:38:21,321
and corresponds with him
via e-mail about his case.

696
00:38:21,354 --> 00:38:23,988
Her speciality is
getting inmates to trust her

697
00:38:24,088 --> 00:38:27,288
and provide information.

698
00:38:27,321 --> 00:38:31,288
And in late May,
Angela's diligence pays off.

699
00:38:31,321 --> 00:38:33,088
There's new breaking news.

700
00:38:33,088 --> 00:38:37,254
On Wednesday, I got a call,
a panicked call,

701
00:38:37,288 --> 00:38:40,788
pretty early in the morning,
saying,

702
00:38:40,821 --> 00:38:44,454
"Ms. Clemente,
this is Jason McCrary.

703
00:38:44,488 --> 00:38:46,288
I just got stabbed.

704
00:38:46,321 --> 00:38:47,988
Somebody just came in my cell.

705
00:38:48,088 --> 00:38:49,988
They pushed their way
into the cell.

706
00:38:50,088 --> 00:38:51,454
I just got stabbed in the head.

707
00:38:51,488 --> 00:38:53,154
I need you
to contact anybody,

708
00:38:53,188 --> 00:38:56,488
a warden, contact somebody,
somebody," and I said, "Okay."

709
00:38:56,521 --> 00:38:57,821
Did they say why
he was being stabbed?

710
00:38:57,854 --> 00:38:59,088
He didn't say anything.

711
00:38:59,121 --> 00:39:02,088
He didn't want
to talk very much.

712
00:39:02,088 --> 00:39:05,088
Berlinger: Angela immediately
contacts the prison

713
00:39:05,088 --> 00:39:07,388
and reports
what Jason just told her.

714
00:39:07,421 --> 00:39:09,754
And he was actually stabbed
a second time

715
00:39:09,788 --> 00:39:11,354
as he was leaving the phone.

716
00:39:11,388 --> 00:39:13,321
And they got him
in the face this time.

717
00:39:13,354 --> 00:39:16,088
So, the first time in the head,
the second time in the face.

718
00:39:16,088 --> 00:39:18,088
Wow. Was it because
he's speaking to us, and word --

719
00:39:18,088 --> 00:39:20,521
word got out that
he's talking?

720
00:39:20,554 --> 00:39:23,754
That I don't know.
I don't -- I'm not sure.

721
00:39:23,788 --> 00:39:25,854
Jason is treated
for his injuries

722
00:39:25,888 --> 00:39:28,421
and put into protective custody.

723
00:39:28,454 --> 00:39:30,688
We immediately set up
a Skype call

724
00:39:30,721 --> 00:39:34,188
with Jason's newly appointed
appellate attorney, Rick Kerger,

725
00:39:34,221 --> 00:39:37,754
to see what he can tell us
about this shocking development.

726
00:39:37,788 --> 00:39:40,854
Clemente: Uh, Jason McCrary,
we found out that he was, um,

727
00:39:40,888 --> 00:39:42,854
recently attacked
in the prison.

728
00:39:42,888 --> 00:39:44,388
-Right.
-Do you think it was a warning

729
00:39:44,421 --> 00:39:46,421
or were they really
trying to kill him?

730
00:39:46,454 --> 00:39:47,854
Well, I don't know.

731
00:39:47,888 --> 00:39:49,388
Typically with a shanking,

732
00:39:49,421 --> 00:39:51,088
when you've seen them in
prisons, it's in the body.

733
00:39:51,088 --> 00:39:52,821
It's not up in the head area.

734
00:39:52,854 --> 00:39:54,354
Maybe he was trying
to get the carotid.

735
00:39:54,388 --> 00:39:57,088
I don't know.
That certainly would do it.

736
00:39:57,088 --> 00:39:59,221
So, they were
trying to kill him.

737
00:39:59,254 --> 00:40:00,821
Yes.

738
00:40:00,854 --> 00:40:02,888
Why do you think
he was attacked?

739
00:40:02,921 --> 00:40:05,254
I think Dollar Bill could be
nervous about the matters

740
00:40:05,288 --> 00:40:08,154
being developed through
his post-conviction work,

741
00:40:08,188 --> 00:40:09,688
and it might point
the finger at him.

742
00:40:09,721 --> 00:40:11,888
And he knows from what
Jason testified at trial,

743
00:40:11,921 --> 00:40:14,521
the efforts of the department
are going to be directed at him.

744
00:40:14,554 --> 00:40:16,654
So, you think Dollar Bill
might have ordered that --

745
00:40:16,688 --> 00:40:18,254
that stabbing?

746
00:40:18,288 --> 00:40:19,654
Yes.

747
00:40:19,688 --> 00:40:21,988
He certainly is
the head of the list.

748
00:40:22,021 --> 00:40:24,188
Okay, interesting.

749
00:40:24,221 --> 00:40:26,388
Berlinger:
If Jason's attorney is right

750
00:40:26,421 --> 00:40:28,688
and Dollar Bill
did order the stabbing,

751
00:40:28,721 --> 00:40:31,154
it lends credence
to Jason's testimony

752
00:40:31,188 --> 00:40:34,054
that Dollar Bill is the one
who shot Timberly Claytor

753
00:40:34,088 --> 00:40:37,221
and wants to keep
Jason from talking.

754
00:40:41,454 --> 00:40:43,321
We've spent the last
year and a half

755
00:40:43,354 --> 00:40:46,388
investigating the murders
and disappearances

756
00:40:46,421 --> 00:40:48,688
of nine women
in Southern Ohio.

757
00:40:48,721 --> 00:40:51,354
From the information
and evidence we've gathered,

758
00:40:51,388 --> 00:40:53,554
Dollar Bill is
a person of interest

759
00:40:53,588 --> 00:40:56,188
in more than
half of these cases --

760
00:40:56,221 --> 00:40:57,554
Charlotte Trego,

761
00:40:57,588 --> 00:40:59,321
Tameka Lynch,

762
00:40:59,354 --> 00:41:00,821
Megan Lancaster,

763
00:41:00,854 --> 00:41:02,321
Tiffany Sayre,

764
00:41:02,354 --> 00:41:05,254
and Timberly Claytor.

765
00:41:05,288 --> 00:41:07,888
He has not been charged
in any of these cases,

766
00:41:07,921 --> 00:41:10,454
but on May 30th, 2017,

767
00:41:10,488 --> 00:41:12,088
Dollar Bill is sentenced to

768
00:41:12,088 --> 00:41:14,121
13 years and four months
in prison

769
00:41:14,154 --> 00:41:16,721
on federal drug
trafficking charges.

770
00:41:16,754 --> 00:41:19,821
This sentence will be
added to the 10 years

771
00:41:19,854 --> 00:41:21,221
he is already serving

772
00:41:21,254 --> 00:41:24,088
for the torture
of Arthur Hamlin.

773
00:41:30,421 --> 00:41:32,621
So, Crail is our second
person of interest,

774
00:41:32,654 --> 00:41:34,154
who used to work
for Dollar Bill.

775
00:41:34,188 --> 00:41:36,821
We think he's still
connected to Tameka,

776
00:41:36,854 --> 00:41:39,421
and the problem now
is you have Crail Brooks

777
00:41:39,454 --> 00:41:43,821
possibly getting out from jail
in the next couple months.

778
00:41:52,354 --> 00:41:56,788
He's a repeat offender,
so he generally re-offends

779
00:41:56,821 --> 00:41:59,454
and then goes back in, and
re-offends, and goes back in.

780
00:41:59,488 --> 00:42:01,888
For something.
Right.

781
00:42:01,921 --> 00:42:03,654
I'm concerned
for the community.

782
00:42:03,688 --> 00:42:06,154
I'm concerned
for any retaliation

783
00:42:06,188 --> 00:42:08,088
he thinks that
he needs to deal out

784
00:42:08,088 --> 00:42:09,688
because he might
have been wronged

785
00:42:09,721 --> 00:42:12,488
over the time period
that he was in prison.

786
00:42:12,521 --> 00:42:15,321
The fact that he's
getting out of jail now,

787
00:42:15,354 --> 00:42:16,954
I think it's a dangerous time.

788
00:42:16,988 --> 00:42:19,088
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.

789
00:42:19,088 --> 00:42:22,121
The Crail and Dollar stories

790
00:42:22,154 --> 00:42:24,188
really just
shine a light

791
00:42:24,221 --> 00:42:27,888
on just what happens

792
00:42:27,921 --> 00:42:31,088
when drugs move in,

793
00:42:31,088 --> 00:42:33,088
when heroin takes over.

794
00:42:33,088 --> 00:42:35,721
Police are overwhelmed.

795
00:42:35,754 --> 00:42:38,088
Man:
 ...being the suspicious person.

796
00:42:38,088 --> 00:42:40,688
Berlinger: And just a lot of
collateral damage happens.

797
00:42:40,721 --> 00:42:44,088
