Berlinger: In the small town of Chillicothe, Ohio,

six women have gone missing --

young mothers caught in a vicious cycle of addiction

and prostitution.

Four of them have turned up dead.

Woman: I found a woman's body in the creek.

Berlinger: I'm Joe Berlinger.

I'm a documentary filmmaker and an activist.

I'm working with forensic analyst Angela Clemente

and former FBI agent Steve Bongardt...

We'd really like to talk to you...

...to find out what happened to these women.

Woman: We got to get justice.

All of us in here have to get justice.

Berlinger: As we delved deeper into these cases,

our investigation expanded

to nine victims across three cities.

But just as we're making significant progress in

our year-and-a-half-long investigation,

we hit a snag.

So, what is this, exactly?

What it says right there, ma'am.

"Grand jury witness subpoena."

Berlinger: The Ross County prosecuting attorney

wants us to hand over recordings and transcripts

of our interviews

and reveal our confidential sources.

We don't want the sources to be named

because that could potentially endanger them.

But despite this major setback,

we are determined to continue our investigation.

Ruth: There's somebody out there that knows what went on,

but they just won't tell because they're scared.

Magill: Shall we pray? "Our Father..."

Heather: He put the gun to my chest, and he said,

"Live or die."

Landrum: Everybody who knows information

that tries to come out and talk about it, they end up dead.

Coleman: He gave her a hot shot of heroin.

Kellough: And I said, "I know who your son is,

and I know what he did, too."

Sam: If she's out there, please just let her go,

[Echoing] and let her come home.

**

Berlinger: While our attorneys fight the subpoena

and our right to protect our confidential sources,

we hear some surprising news.

Have you had a chance to review this plea agreement?

Yeah.

It's pretty extraordinary that he took a plea.

News breaks that Ernest "Dollar Bill" Moore,

a person of interest in our investigation,

has pled guilty to federal drug trafficking charges

for selling narcotics across state lines

while in Gallipolis.

So why do you think Dollar Bill took this plea agreement?

It's saying that he's going to cooperate.

The sentencing is, what, May 30th?

He wants to get that reduced.

It says that he's the ring leader in this drug bust.

So, what's interesting with that is if he's the ringleader,

then who's he cooperating against?

Not his co-defendants. He's the ringleader.

Yeah.

That means it's a much bigger case.

So, we're hoping the big investigation,

right is, is a RICO --

racketeer-influenced,

corrupt organization charge, which allows you

to take a look at all these other offenses

as part of the bigger enterprise.

So murders, extortion, sale of illegal substances,

trying to bribe officials,

all of those smaller charges

can be brought into a bigger charge

against the whole pool of people.

It also could explain why they're freaked out

and subpoenaed us for any information

relating to Dollar Bill.

Like we've stepped into a much bigger...

Hornet's nest. ...case that's unfolding

at the federal level. Right, yeah.

I think we have to at least make some kind of a good effort

to let the Feds know that these women,

their missing and deaths, murders,

could have something to do with Dollar Bill.

**

Berlinger: A month after receiving the subpoena,

we get good news.

Our legal team has persuaded

Ross County Prosecutor Matt Schmidt

to rescind the subpoena.

We provide him with some pertinent information

about our investigation,

without revealing our confidential sources.

Dollar Bill's sentence on the federal drug charges

will be tacked onto the 10 years

he's already serving for the 2015

kidnapping and brutal torture of Arthur Hamlin,

a convicted drug dealer who was working for him.

Woman: Ernest Moore, aka "Dollar Bill,"

bound him with duct tape

and forced him into a duffel bag.

Marks: He was stripped of his clothing and tortured

over a period of many hours.

Berlinger: Inmate Wallace "Cheese" Coleman

is one of Dollar Bill's accomplices

in the torture of Arthur Hamlin,

and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Berlinger: Hearing these gruesome details,

we want to learn more about

Dollar Bill's relationship with Arthur Hamlin.

We return to Ohio to track down some of Dollar Bill's

former business associates.

Hodge: Artie was, like, the key to Dollar Bill.

Artie basically helped Dollar Bill survive

when he was in Chillicothe.

Uh, he ran everything.

He brought all the money.

He delivered all the drugs.

Uh, he brought the girls.

Um, he transported.

Berlinger: The two worked together

until Dollar Bill felt that Artie turned on him

and stole drugs and thousands of dollars in cash.

A woman that we're calling "Danielle"

witnessed some of Artie's torture.

She bravely agrees to speak to us

on the condition of anonymity.

Do you ever remember hearing that he was gonna kill someone?

Mm-hmm. Why do you think he didn't?

**

Berlinger: Angela and Steve obtain rarely-seen

court documents and shocking crime scene photos

that outline new information

about Artie's three day ordeal

and who was behind it.

That's amazing that they released it, right?

Yeah.

Berlinger: These troubling documents state that

other people who stopped by the trap house

during that time were encouraged

to take part in the torture.

Clemente: It says, "Mr. Hamlin advised that visitors

were encouraged to hit, kick,

and urinate on him if they wanted to."

Wow.

Berlinger: We're even more surprised to learn that

Dollar Bill had an elaborate plan

to get the torture charges dropped.

Clemente: Dollar Bill had gone to Artie Hamlin,

the one that he tortured,

and picked him up either at the hospital

or when he was getting out of the hospital for being tortured.

And made him sign that affidavit, right?

And made him write an affidavit.

"I, Arthur Hamlin, give this statement on my own free will.

I'm not being made to do this.

It's on my own.

I'm sober and in state of mine."

"State of mine" -- M-I-N-E.

Berlinger: Dollar Bill allegedly forced Hamlin

to write this bogus statement to authorities,

claiming he was tortured by several unknown persons.

And even more outrageous, that Dollar Bill himself

would have been tortured, too, if he had not gotten away.

Clemente: "Once inside, a couple men

pulled guns and a knife, and we tried run out the door.

Well, my friend made it out the door and they caught me.

They beat and tortured me."

Wow.

Joe, I mean, I think his plan is

he's got this affidavit with Arthur Hamlin

saying he had nothing to do with it.

Berlinger: But Dollar Bill's plan backfires.

When he takes the statement to police,

they don't believe him

and immediately place him under arrest.

He later pleads guilty and gets a 10-year sentence.

**

Because Arthur Hamlin was Dollar Bill's right-hand man,

we wonder if he has some inside information

about Dollar Bill's possible involvement

in the deaths and disappearances

we've been investigating.

Steve tries to set up a meeting.

I know what you went through. I mean, I'm amazed

that you survived what you survived.

Are you concerned about your safety now?

I can be at your house in 15 minutes.

Yep, absolutely.

Bongardt: Wow.

Volatile personality.

This guy is just all over the place.

But this might be our one chance to talk to him.

Berlinger: Since his torture,

Artie's been keeping a low profile

at a friend's trailer on the outskirts of Chillicothe.

What do we want to know from Arthur Hamlin?

We're gonna be there in, it says, 10 minutes.

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

and all the crimes that took place

because he was so connected to him.

He's critical.

He's really critical.

**

Artie.

You know what, that is my people.

No, no, no. This is Joe Berlinger.

He's the director.

Okay.

All right. Okay.

All right, you and you, come on.

Is that good? We're good? Yep.

Come on.

**

**

Bongardt: I know the name Dollar Bill excites you.

Hamlin: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[ Crash ]

Berlinger: Artie gets angry

and smashes a baseball bat on the table,

so we're concerned for Angela and Steve's safety.

Bongardt: You have been through the ringer.

[ Smacking fist ] Whomp-whomp-whomp-whomp-whomp!

I want you to relax. [ Crash ]

All right, okay.

Berlinger: Because of Artie's seemingly volatile behavior,

we're just not sure how he'll react

when we try to get information from him.

Our camera crew waits outside, but we record audio,

hoping Artie will be able to confirm or deny

details of Dollar Bill's potential involvement

in any of the victim's cases.

Bongardt: Can you tell us about Charlotte?

-Clemente: Yeah? -Hamlin: Yup.

Could you take us to where she might be?

Berlinger: After seeming to indicate that the victims

were indeed murdered,

Artie immediately corrects himself.

Clemente: I'll believe you. Bongardt: We'll believe you.

Berlinger: Finally, Steve and Angela

get Artie comfortable with the cameras

and he allows us in.

But right away, Artie gets too close to Angela,

making her and us very uncomfortable.

What?

Despite her uneasiness, Angela's determined to continue,

hoping he'll give us a lead.

Okay, okay

Okay? So, you were close

to Charlotte, though, right?

Yes. You said that was your girl.

Yes.

I want to know where I can go find her.

Where can I go find her?

Well, why don't you turn the camera off

and I'll tell ya? Okay, cameras off.

That's a dumb-ass question.

Berlinger: Suddenly, Artie whispers something

into Angela's ear.

But then he abruptly ends the interview.

Hey, what did he whisper to you?

"Charlotte's on the railroad tracks in Bainbridge."

And he's told Winfield and Campbell

where she was and nobody will go get her.

Okay, that's -- conflicts with, you know,

being burned on Dollar Bill's property.

Right.

And he's also very high, so we gotta...

He's also high, and this is what he heard.

He was in jail during the time, he said.

Berlinger: Artie suddenly gets in a car with some friends,

and we never hear from him again.

His alleged tip that Charlotte Trego

is buried somewhere in Bainbridge

is pure speculation at this point

and one of the many rumors we've heard,

but it does lead us back to the same town

where Tameka Lynch was found dead in May of 2014.

Man: Detectives say the body of a woman discovered

in Paint Creek on Saturday near Bainbridge

is Tameka Lynch.

Berlinger: The 30-year-old mother of three

is the second woman to go missing in Chillicothe,

and the first body to be found.

Earlier in our investigation,

Cheese told us a man named Crail Brooks

is responsible for Tameka's death,

and may also have killed Charlotte Trego.

Berlinger: A woman who does not want to be identified

tells us about the brutality she suffered

at the hands of Crail Brooks.

Sources tell us that Crail Brooks

is a small-time drug dealer who worked for Dollar Bill.

He was -- Mm-hmm.

Cheese told us

Tameka died at a house party in Bainbridge, Ohio,

20 miles from Chillicothe.

So, this party area is, like, really becoming critical,

I think.

Bongardt: I think it's important

because the girls that were missing starts there.

There was a history with Tameka and people

that were at this party.

Berlinger: Shyla Woodruff,

a woman who hung out in the same circles as Tameka,

seems to know more about her death

than Tameka's own family.

As I'm going through her Facebook page,

there was a point where she had stated

something like "In our prayers."

And it was at a time when Tameka's body

had just been found,

but they hadn't identified in public that --

that this is Tameka that was found.

Bongardt: How did she know before anyone else?

Charlotte Trego is still missing at this time,

so it could be Charlotte, could be someone else,

you don't know.

For her to make that jump that it is Tameka

and be correct indicates

some kind of inside information.

Berlinger: Shyla agrees to an interview,

but before it takes place, we share the information

with the Chillicothe Police Department.

Shyla has decided she will speak to us today.

You know, she's gonna tell us about

her relationship with Tameka.

Um, due to the active state of the investigation,

I would like for, obviously --

I'm just not gonna comment on it.

We'll just leave it at that.

Berlinger: Later, as we sit and wait

for Shyla to show up for the interview,

our associate producer interrupts us

with some important news.

Sorry. So yeah, I just tried her.

Uh, it was an interesting call, to say the least.

She said, either "I'm on my [bleep] way," and hung up,

or "I hope you [bleep] die," and hung up.

Wow.

Berlinger: Shyla Woodruff's sudden no-show has us wondering,

is there a leak in the Chillicothe Police Department?

Was she warned we were about to ask how she knew

Tameka was dead before the public did?

Berlinger: After hearing rumors that Crail Brooks

may have killed Tameka by a hot shot

at a party in Bainbridge,

Tameka Lynch's parents,

Angela Robinson and Tommy Lee,

take us back to the Paint Creek sandbar

where their daughter's body was found.

Clemente: We're gonna look at the location here shortly.

Berlinger: We want to determine, is there a link

between Crail and Tameka's death?

Berlinger: It's covered in snow now.

And even though it's been more than two years,

their emotions are still raw.

And she was right there on the sandbar.

Clemente: Notice there's a house here.

There's a house there.

There's an embankment here,

and there's a home here.

This is somebody familiar.

This is someone familiar with this area.

I think the story that we've heard is true.

Crail. Right.

I think that Crail did it.

I think that they started at his house.

I think something happened there,

and he killed her there.

And then so Charlotte wouldn't be able to say anything,

I think that he really did set her on fire.

He supposedly had bragged to a couple of people afterwards

and he was talking about, he finally did it.

He finally cut up a body.

Let me ask you something,

because there's so many other women missing and murdered.

What about the rest of them?

What do you think the involvement is?

-A lot of people involved? -Yes.

Berlinger: Crail Brooks was questioned about

Tameka Lynch's death

and the disappearance of Charlotte Trego,

but he was never charged.

However, he was arrested for drug trafficking in Bainbridge

just 12 days after Tameka's body was found.

Early in our investigation, Wallace "Cheese" Coleman

alleged that Crail did not act alone.

Coleman: I don't know the guy's last name,

but I know his first name is Preston.

He's a white guy. He's from here in Chillicothe.

Berlinger: In a phone interview from prison, Jason McCrary

also says a man named Preston is involved.

Clemente: Do you know where they dumped her?

Berlinger: Angela tracks down the address

for Crail's alleged accomplice, Preston Colter.

Clemente: I'd like to try to find out if --

if he was definitely involved.

Or if he wasn't, I want to assess his behaviors.

Berlinger: Preston Colter was released from

an Ohio State prison in February 2017

where he served 30 months for burglary.

It's possible Preston took part in Tameka's death

and may be dangerous,

so Angela brings security along for protection.

Clemente: He's not gonna wanna talk to me.

Hello.

Hi. I'm looking for Preston.

Oh, right here.

Could I speak to him?

My name's Angela.

[ Dog barks ] Hi, Preston.

He don't bite. He won't bite? Okay.

Can I come in? Yeah.

Berlinger: But Preston is surprisingly open to

talking about Tameka and Charlotte's cases,

and admits he knows both of them.

So Preston, I appreciate you talking to me.

Um, you had a polygraph done? Yes, ma'am.

Two polygraph tests. Two polygraphs?

Two. Yes, ma'am. And what kind of questions

were they asking on the polygraph?

Like, for Tameka, they asked, did I kill her,

and you know, I of course answered no.

And they asked that for Charlotte, also.

Since I didn't kill her, did I know who killed her?

I, you know, answered no to both of them questions

and, uh, passed those clearly.

You knew Crail? You know Crail?

I don't know him, but I know him.

Okay. You know, I don't know him,

like, to ever say like I say,

like I would never put no bad juju

or whatever you want to call it, dirt, whatever, on his name,

but I just know, like, of him.

Why is it, do you think,

that you of all people in Chillicothe,

that they were associating your name

with Tameka and Charlotte?

I -- I... I don't know.

Maybe because, you know,

I hung out with the drug crowd, maybe?

If I had to guess, that would be it.

"Oh, well he hung out with the people who done drugs,"

or, "He's been seen with these people who done drugs,

so maybe he knows something," you know.

Just a maybe-type question, you know,

and they just threw it out there to hopefully

get something from it.

**

Berlinger: While Preston seems believable,

and says he passed two polygraphs,

multiple sources say he and Crail

did know each other

and were together the night Tameka died.

and his possible connection to both

Tameka and Charlotte's cases, we follow up on a tip

that we received earlier about a missing cellphone

that belonged to Megan Kellough,

a 26 year-old Chillicothe woman

who allegedly allegedly died of

an accidental overdose in December of 2015.

Megan's phone allegedly contains solid evidence

that might implicate Crail Brooks.

So, we're going to talk to Robin Kellough,

the mother of Megan Kellough.

You know, they kind of just dismissed it

as being just an overdose.

Berlinger: But Robin doesn't believe

her daughter accidentally OD'd.

She thinks Megan was murdered,

given a hotshot for knowing too much.

That phone was found when Megan was found dead.

Supposedly, there's a conversation

on there that Megan taped between her and Crail Brooks

where Crail is talking about the death of Tameka...

Okay. ...and Charlotte.

And that's really important.

And that's very -- that could be very important.

Berlinger: But Megan's phone

seems to have mysteriously disappeared

from the police evidence locker.

Early in our investigation

we had asked detective Bud Lytle about the cellphone.

Clemente: Apparently, there was a cellphone recording

of Crail Brooks

describing how he murdered Tameka and Charlotte

that was given to this police department.

That's news to me.

To my knowledge, um,

that conversation, or that recording,

I've never heard it

and I don't know that it truly exists.

Could you tell me everything you can remember

about that conversation that was recorded on that phone?

She was asking Crail if he was around

when it happened to Charlotte and Tameka.

He said, "Hell yeah, them bitches robbed me."

So, hell yeah, I killed them."

He said, "Well, Tameka, she overdosed."

So they put her out in the water,

and they had Charlotte do it. Well, Charlotte had flipped out.

Well, they beat her up real bad.

So, Crail said they had to go ahead and finish Charlotte,

and Dollar Bill was there.

He just went around bragging that he killed

Charlotte and Tameka. He was sta--

You heard it from Dollar Bill?

Yeah, I heard it, in person.

He said, "Ain't no evidence, ain't nobody going down for it,

so it don't matter."

Did he say -- Did he give any details when he,

Dollar Bill, was talking to you?

Details, yeah. No, he just claimed

that he did it. The only person

that gave the detail was over the phone,

and that was Crail.

Can you walk me a little bit through the process

of how you've tried to get, you know, the phone back?

I was going every day. How often often, how long?

I was going every day.

To try to get that phone?

Because I knew what was on that phone,

because I heard it myself.

So, I wanna read you something, okay?

I'm going to read you something. Have you see the police report?

No.

Berlinger: We show Robin the initial police report

that states Detective Twila Goble

took Megan's cellphone into evidence

at the scene where her body was found.

I'm pissed. I'm pissed.

They said the phone wasn't even brought there.

Berlinger: Robin's concerns about Twila Goble

didn't end with the cellphone.

She says Detective Goble took Megan and Charlotte Trego

out of state to Detroit, Michigan,

250 miles from Chillicothe,

shortly before their deaths.

I said, "Why in the hell would you get in a car

with Twila Goble?"

"She was just taking us up there.

We were going to have a good time,

go shopping up and everything."

"Why would Twila Goble take you shopping?"

She said, "Ma," she says,

"You don't know how well I know Twila."

She said Twila was feeding them dope, too.

Your daughter told you that Twila was actually

giving them dope during this time?

She kept them high, yes.

You heard that from your daughter's mouth?

Yes, my daughter said that.

Wow.

I can't see Twila running off with these girls

unless they were working for her.

Maybe she's using them

to get to someone else.

Berlinger: If what Robin says is true,

we wonder if there is a problem

at the Chillicothe Police Department.

We can't confirm if any allegations

against law enforcement are true,

and we know that there are many dedicated

and hard-working members

of the Chillicothe Police Department.

However, accusations of police misconduct

are becoming a common theme.

Although people involved in criminal activity

often make unfounded accusations against the police,

our confidential informant, "Danielle,"

said she personally witnessed

questionable behavior by Officer Chip Campbell.

Mm-hmm.

How about Chip Campbell and Dollar Bill

getting mixed up together,

you know, from point of he was an informant or possible snitch?

Mm-hmm.

Berlinger: Our confidential informant

isn't the only one with stories of alleged problematic behavior

involving Officer Chip Campbell.

From our office in New York, we talk with

former Chillicothe drug dealer, Ronald Wollum,

in an interview via the prison's video-visitation system.

Do you know of any police corruption that Chip Campbell

might have taken part in?

Absolutely. [Bleep] [Bleep]

Do you know which girls were actually working

with Chip or Twila?

What was Chip Campbell

and Twila Goble's relationship with Dollar Bill,

if you know?

Berlinger: Two sources have come forward with allegations

that Dollar Bill was working as an informant

for Officer Chip Campbell.

If these allegations are true, it would be ironic

that someone who may have been killing these women

because they were informants may have been

an informant himself.

of individual acts of police misconduct in Chillicothe,

we re-examine the case of Timberly Claytor.

Woman: Ross County Sheriff's Office confirms

38-year-old Timberly Claytor is the woman

found shot to death outside Chillicothe.

Berlinger: Timberly's case

is the only one that has gone to trial.

By looking into how police handled the investigation,

it may shine a light on

how they are treating potential witnesses

in the other victim's cases.

Man: We, the jury in this case, find the defendant,

Jason McCrary, guilty of murder.

Berlinger: Jason's guilty verdict is due in large part

to the testimony of the only eye witness,

Jessica Lowry,

who declined to have her face shown on camera.

But Jason points the finger at Ernest "Dollar Bill" Moore,

a person of interest in our investigation.

It was Dollar Bill.

All I heard was, "pop, pop-pop" like that.

Berlinger: Now, we've been able to secure

the actual police body camera footage

that appears to put into question

the validity of Jessica's testimony.

Clemente: So, it's Detective Winfield's body cam

taking the star witness against Jason McCrary

out to the scene of the crime

where Timberly Claytor was murdered.

Berlinger: Even though Detective Winfield

parks on the side of the building

where Timberly's body was found,

Jessica walks him straight over

to the wrong side of the building.

Now, watch what he does.

He takes the flashlight and flashes it.

Now, do you notice what he's flashing at?

He's flashing at the cross.

And says, "You sure?"

Berlinger: Whether purposefully or not,

it appears that Detective Winfield

may be leading the witness

to change her original statement.

That's kinda coercing.

And he keeps pointing to the memorial cross

of where her body was found. Right. Right.

Berlinger: Is Jessica Lowry a credible witness?

At trial, Defense Attorney Greg Meyers tries

to poke holes in her story.

Meyers: Now, do you remember you talked to

Detective Winfield and he kept asking

if you were sure, "Are you sure, are you sure?"

And then, you changed your mind.

[ Telephone rings ]

Berlinger: Those close to Jessica tell us her testimony

may be tied to getting custody of her child.

Hi, this is Angela Clemente.

How are you?

Berlinger: Angela contacts the father of

Jessica Lowry's daughter to find out if Jessica had any reason

to potentially falsify her testimony.

He requested that we not record the conversation.

How did you hear, um, that --

that she made a deal with the D.A.?

Berlinger: Although Jessica Lowry

had previously been determined to be an unfit mother,

he tells Angela that around the time of Jason McCrary's trial,

she suddenly regained custody of her daughter.

So, do you feel that she was given custody back

because she testified?

He's saying she was offered this deal with the DA,

and he lost custody. And so...

So, she's cooperating to get her children back.

So, she's cooperating.

There might be a pattern of the detectives

threatening women. Threatened to take her children.

Wow.

It changes the whole trial story.

Well, it makes the McCrary conviction seem quite dubious.

It does.

And no wonder they subpoenaed our material,

because that prosecutor is very concerned

about the integrity of that conviction, I'm sure.

Right. And, you know, we've got a prosecutor

that's directly involved.

If you look at the whole trial in totality

and then you add all of these other pieces

that we've now gathered in our investigation,

there needs to be a new trial.

And -- and they need to re-look at this whole case again.

Berlinger: After the conviction,

Angela cultivates a relationship with Jason McCrary

and corresponds with him via e-mail about his case.

Her speciality is getting inmates to trust her

and provide information.

And in late May, Angela's diligence pays off.

There's new breaking news.

On Wednesday, I got a call, a panicked call,

pretty early in the morning, saying,

"Ms. Clemente, this is Jason McCrary.

I just got stabbed.

Somebody just came in my cell.

They pushed their way into the cell.

I just got stabbed in the head.

I need you to contact anybody,

a warden, contact somebody, somebody," and I said, "Okay."

Did they say why he was being stabbed?

He didn't say anything.

He didn't want to talk very much.

Berlinger: Angela immediately contacts the prison

and reports what Jason just told her.

And he was actually stabbed a second time

as he was leaving the phone.

And they got him in the face this time.

So, the first time in the head, the second time in the face.

Wow. Was it because he's speaking to us, and word --

word got out that he's talking?

That I don't know. I don't -- I'm not sure.

Jason is treated for his injuries

and put into protective custody.

We immediately set up a Skype call

with Jason's newly appointed appellate attorney, Rick Kerger,

to see what he can tell us about this shocking development.

Clemente: Uh, Jason McCrary, we found out that he was, um,

recently attacked in the prison.

-Right. -Do you think it was a warning

or were they really trying to kill him?

Well, I don't know.

Typically with a shanking,

when you've seen them in prisons, it's in the body.

It's not up in the head area.

Maybe he was trying to get the carotid.

I don't know. That certainly would do it.

So, they were trying to kill him.

Yes.

Why do you think he was attacked?

I think Dollar Bill could be nervous about the matters

being developed through his post-conviction work,

and it might point the finger at him.

And he knows from what Jason testified at trial,

the efforts of the department are going to be directed at him.

So, you think Dollar Bill might have ordered that --

that stabbing?

Yes.

He certainly is the head of the list.

Okay, interesting.

Berlinger: If Jason's attorney is right

and Dollar Bill did order the stabbing,

it lends credence to Jason's testimony

that Dollar Bill is the one who shot Timberly Claytor

and wants to keep Jason from talking.

We've spent the last year and a half

investigating the murders and disappearances

of nine women in Southern Ohio.

From the information and evidence we've gathered,

Dollar Bill is a person of interest

in more than half of these cases --

Charlotte Trego,

Tameka Lynch,

Megan Lancaster,

Tiffany Sayre,

and Timberly Claytor.

He has not been charged in any of these cases,

but on May 30th, 2017,

Dollar Bill is sentenced to

13 years and four months in prison

on federal drug trafficking charges.

This sentence will be added to the 10 years

he is already serving

for the torture of Arthur Hamlin.

So, Crail is our second person of interest,

who used to work for Dollar Bill.

We think he's still connected to Tameka,

and the problem now is you have Crail Brooks

possibly getting out from jail in the next couple months.

He's a repeat offender, so he generally re-offends

and then goes back in, and re-offends, and goes back in.

For something. Right.

I'm concerned for the community.

I'm concerned for any retaliation

he thinks that he needs to deal out

because he might have been wronged

over the time period that he was in prison.

The fact that he's getting out of jail now,

I think it's a dangerous time.

Yeah, I agree. I agree.

The Crail and Dollar stories

really just shine a light

on just what happens

when drugs move in,

when heroin takes over.

Police are overwhelmed.

Man: ...being the suspicious person.

Berlinger: And just a lot of collateral damage happens.
