at least once a year, 3 00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:17,642 sometimes more. 4 00:00:18,935 --> 00:00:20,645 Which was good because you drive 5 00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:23,023 on that beautiful Highway 1 and it clears your mind. 6 00:00:31,072 --> 00:00:33,783 And he said to me, "Don't come out of pity." 7 00:00:35,744 --> 00:00:37,078 "Don't come and see me out of pity." 8 00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:44,669 At the end of the trial, when they read the verdict, 9 00:00:46,254 --> 00:00:49,257 I took it hard because I believed in his innocence 10 00:00:49,299 --> 00:00:52,469 and I believe in the system and something very wrong 11 00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:56,222 had happened. I thought justice was not done, 12 00:00:56,264 --> 00:00:59,017 and I thought he had been screwed by the trial court. 13 00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:01,644 And so it left a very bad taste in my mouth. 14 00:01:01,978 --> 00:01:03,855 We told the court we'd be filing motions 15 00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,732 - before sentencing. - We will do that. 16 00:01:05,774 --> 00:01:07,317 And beyond that, we have a gag order 17 00:01:07,358 --> 00:01:09,235 and so we can't comment. 18 00:01:09,277 --> 00:01:11,154 You can't comment when the gag order is in effect? 19 00:01:11,196 --> 00:01:13,239 - Correct. - I will never forget this. 20 00:01:13,281 --> 00:01:15,784 I remember like it was yesterday. That jury convicted. 21 00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:18,161 And within 15 minutes of hearing that verdict, 22 00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:20,246 I called Dennis Riordan, and said, "Dennis, 23 00:01:20,288 --> 00:01:22,248 for God sakes, you have to take this case. 24 00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:23,958 Something very bad happened here, please." 25 00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:28,254 He might have hesitated on the phone for 15 seconds, 26 00:01:28,296 --> 00:01:30,507 but he was on board. 27 00:01:30,882 --> 00:01:32,926 Judge Smith, at the sentencing, 28 00:01:32,967 --> 00:01:35,762 said something to the effect of, 29 00:01:35,804 --> 00:01:38,765 "You are a wicked and depraved person 30 00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:42,769 and nominally prevents me from giving you a just sentence." 31 00:01:43,311 --> 00:01:47,649 And what he was saying is, "I want you to be executed. 32 00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:51,194 I want you to die in the gas chamber at San Quentin." 33 00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:55,615 But when I reviewed the entire record, 34 00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:58,743 I was firmly convinced that there was not a single piece, 35 00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:03,414 not an iota of credible evidence that he had murdered 36 00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:05,959 Susan Nason in 1969. 37 00:02:07,168 --> 00:02:10,797 - Now was there other evidence? - Absolutely. 38 00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:14,968 There was plenty of evidence that he was not a good guy. 39 00:02:15,009 --> 00:02:17,220 There was plenty of evidence that he had been 40 00:02:17,262 --> 00:02:21,391 - a violent person. - So if 12 jurors really, 41 00:02:21,432 --> 00:02:25,228 really believe that somebody was a violent parent 42 00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:28,940 and sexually abused his children, frankly, 43 00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:32,068 they are not going to acquit that person. 44 00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:50,521 State your name 45 00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:53,399 and spell your first and last names. 46 00:03:53,441 --> 00:03:59,239 - Eileen Franklin-Lipsker. - E-I-L-E-E-N L-I-P-S-K-E-R. 47 00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:02,200 Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing 48 00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:03,785 but the truth? So help you, God? 49 00:04:03,826 --> 00:04:05,411 - Yes. - - Thank you. 50 00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:08,539 - Good morning, Eileen -  Good morning. 51 00:04:08,873 --> 00:04:11,251 Can you identify the defendant? 52 00:04:11,292 --> 00:04:17,465 He's sitting over there in a dark suit. He's my father. 53 00:04:19,384 --> 00:04:21,177 - Shelley Long. - Good morning. 54 00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,763 - Good morning. - Very heavy subject. 55 00:04:23,805 --> 00:04:26,099 And it must have been an emotionally draining role, 56 00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:28,559 - was it? -  Yes, very much so. 57 00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:31,104 I told Eileen, who was around for part of the filming. 58 00:04:31,145 --> 00:04:32,897 I didn't know how she lived through it. 59 00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:34,691 Not the filming, but the experience. 60 00:04:34,732 --> 00:04:36,776 How do you think she did or do you think 61 00:04:36,818 --> 00:04:39,279 she has recovered from this incredible ordeal? 62 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,156 Well, I think she lived through it 63 00:04:42,198 --> 00:04:44,325 by repressing the memories. 64 00:04:44,659 --> 00:04:48,746 The Eileen Franklin case was a huge story at the time. 65 00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:53,334 It was really the way America learned to think 66 00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:55,962 - about recovered memory. - And it was for many people 67 00:04:56,004 --> 00:04:58,172 the first introduction to the idea. 68 00:04:58,214 --> 00:04:59,841 The storytelling industry, you know, 69 00:04:59,882 --> 00:05:01,342 movies and so forth, 70 00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:03,553 love this idea of recovered memory. 71 00:05:03,594 --> 00:05:06,597 It was so dramatic, this notion that like you could be 72 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:09,350 walking around and suddenly you could remember 73 00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:11,728 an entirely different childhood. 74 00:05:11,769 --> 00:05:16,733 And Eileen's story was seemingly a real life example of that. 75 00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:35,668 The first time I met her was on the set in Vancouver, 76 00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:38,921 and my first impression of Eileen 77 00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:42,800 was a very serious young woman. 78 00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:46,179 I didn't feel any lightness from her at all. 79 00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:50,141 She was on a mission and she had a job to complete 80 00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:55,772 in the sense of showing her memory as she experienced it, 81 00:05:56,064 --> 00:05:59,525 showing her suffering as she experienced. 82 00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:03,071 She was doing her very best to control the narrative. 83 00:06:03,321 --> 00:06:05,531 It's understandable. 84 00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:10,244 I never experienced Eileen as a victim 85 00:06:10,286 --> 00:06:12,288 because by the time I met her, 86 00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:16,542 she was reinventing herself as a crusader, 87 00:06:16,584 --> 00:06:20,546 going for justice. So women were listening to her. 88 00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:25,635 Back to your calls for Eileen Franklin-Lipsker 89 00:06:25,676 --> 00:06:28,012 and we go to Delmar, New York. Hello? 90 00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,722 - Hi, Larry. - Thank you, Eileen, 91 00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:31,516 for having the courage to break the silence. 92 00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:33,476 Good evening, Eileen. 93 00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:35,561 I just want to applaud you on what you've done. 94 00:06:35,603 --> 00:06:37,730 I think you're a very brave woman. 95 00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:40,149 Hi, Eileen, I wanted to say that I think you're handling 96 00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:42,276 the denial with tremendous grace. 97 00:06:42,527 --> 00:06:46,239 Eileen was trying to be a champion 98 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:49,659 for victims with repressed memory that just felt like 99 00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:51,911 no one's going to believe me and take me seriously 100 00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:55,123 if I say this happened to me 15 or 20 years ago. 101 00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:58,626 I know that repressed memory cases did increase 102 00:06:58,668 --> 00:07:00,962 after this incident went national 103 00:07:01,003 --> 00:07:05,591 because victims had seen firsthand that this could 104 00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:08,511 and would and should be taken seriously. 105 00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:12,223 There are thousands of people out there that deal 106 00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:15,518 - with repressed memory. - And if I had known 107 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,395 when my memories returned that this is something 108 00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:19,397 that actually does happen to people, 109 00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,607 it probably would have made my time easier. 110 00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:24,152 I think this case started the discussion. 111 00:07:24,193 --> 00:07:26,112 We heard of many, many cases across the country 112 00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:28,698 where people were coming forward. 113 00:07:28,739 --> 00:07:30,783 They were talking about their repressed memory. 114 00:07:30,825 --> 00:07:32,535 What had happened. 115 00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:34,078 "I had memories of" 116 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,746 "my father doing other things." 117 00:07:35,788 --> 00:07:40,751 "Of him...I have one of him raping me." 118 00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:44,464 It's too life-threatening, and so I had to bury that. 119 00:07:44,505 --> 00:07:46,466 All of a sudden it came back to me. 120 00:07:46,507 --> 00:07:48,926 I started having very bad nightmares. 121 00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:52,388 I was able to come to terms with the fact that this, indeed, hap. 122 00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:53,764 There wasn't only just physical abuse, 123 00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:56,476 but there was mental abuse and sexual abuse. 124 00:07:56,517 --> 00:07:58,478 It was all kinds of abuse in our family. 125 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:02,190 I have my first memory of being molested by my mother 126 00:08:02,231 --> 00:08:07,737 at six months old. I got all my memories about two years ago. 127 00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:12,366 And now Eileen's story of being a witness to a murder. 128 00:08:12,408 --> 00:08:15,453 Also, a victim of incest is revealed in her book. 129 00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:19,040 It's called   Sins of the Father. 130 00:08:19,081 --> 00:08:20,958 Welcome Eileen Franklin to the show. 131 00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:29,467 Oprah wanted to have Eileen on the show, 132 00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:33,304 so Eileen had asked her if I could be there too, 133 00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:35,056 as moral support. 134 00:08:36,224 --> 00:08:38,351 She knew that she could completely trust 135 00:08:38,392 --> 00:08:41,229 that I was 100% behind her. 136 00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:44,440 I thought that it was a chance 137 00:08:44,482 --> 00:08:48,528 for Eileen to speak freely without having to be guided 138 00:08:48,569 --> 00:08:51,822 by what attorneys are saying what the law is saying, 139 00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:53,324 what the court is saying. 140 00:08:53,366 --> 00:08:55,284 So, I supported her in that that. 141 00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:59,080 That was a very difficult memory to retrieve because the memory 142 00:08:59,121 --> 00:09:02,166 of the physical pain was so overwhelming. 143 00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,585 And yet the only way to remember the whole thing 144 00:09:04,627 --> 00:09:07,838 and get it over with and make it go away, basically, 145 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,967 and livable was to remember all this excruciating pain 146 00:09:11,008 --> 00:09:14,387 and that my father had allowed this to happen to me. 147 00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:18,766 I was always struck 148 00:09:18,808 --> 00:09:23,062 by what it took for Eileen to come forward. 149 00:09:23,437 --> 00:09:27,400 There was nothing in it for her other than to do 150 00:09:27,441 --> 00:09:31,195 the thing that she set out from the very beginning. 151 00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:35,575 He needed to pay the price for what he had done. 152 00:09:36,158 --> 00:09:40,663 I always felt that she rose to the challenge. 153 00:09:40,705 --> 00:09:44,333 So now you've seen him through your own testimony, 154 00:09:44,375 --> 00:09:46,085 - be punished. -  No. 155 00:09:46,711 --> 00:09:49,672 - I haven't seen him punished. -  He's in jail. 156 00:09:49,714 --> 00:09:51,924 Not for anything he did to me. 157 00:09:51,966 --> 00:09:54,552 There's no punishment for him raping me. 158 00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:56,512 There's no punishment for him sodomizing me. 159 00:09:56,554 --> 00:09:58,598 There's no punishment from years of abuse. 160 00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,684 There's no punishment for him for what 161 00:10:01,726 --> 00:10:04,437 I go through now with memories returning 162 00:10:04,478 --> 00:10:06,105 and knowing that I'm not like other people. 163 00:10:06,314 --> 00:10:08,190 There's no punishment. 164 00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:13,863 One of the difficult aspects of the case 165 00:10:13,904 --> 00:10:18,242 for Eileen to understand was that everything that 166 00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:22,580 her father had done to her, he could not be punished for. 167 00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:25,625 Back in 1969, the statute of limitations 168 00:10:25,666 --> 00:10:28,419 for sexual offenses was three years. 169 00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:33,090 So the things that had happened to her as a child 170 00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:35,635 were not going to be prosecuted, 171 00:10:35,676 --> 00:10:37,762 and he was never going to be held responsible for those. 172 00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:40,306 Our hope is that the outcome of this case 173 00:10:40,348 --> 00:10:42,808 will serve to encourage 174 00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:45,311 children who are now adults who witnessed crimes 175 00:10:45,353 --> 00:10:47,313 or were victims of crimes many years ago to come forward 176 00:10:47,355 --> 00:10:49,482 and at least give the system a chance to work for them, 177 00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:51,484 as it did in this case. 178 00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:53,152 If you want to charge somebody with a crime, 179 00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:56,405 it has to be done within a certain period of years. 180 00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:58,991 From the time the crime was committed. 181 00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:01,410 For the crime of child molest, 182 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:05,164 the statute of limitations then was three years. 183 00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:07,249 A six year old girl, 184 00:11:07,291 --> 00:11:09,919 eight year old girl or ten year old boy gets molested. 185 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,129 And when they finally come forward with it, 186 00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:15,841 when they're 19, 21, sorry out the door, I can't do it. 187 00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:18,094 The Franklin case is what started the discussion 188 00:11:18,135 --> 00:11:21,972 that ultimately our Legislature changed the laws. 189 00:11:22,014 --> 00:11:23,849 It opened the door. 190 00:11:23,891 --> 00:11:26,519 On January 1st, a new law in California will allow 191 00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,355 incest victims to sue for civil damages 192 00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:31,732 years after the incest occurred, 193 00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:33,859 basically wiping out the statute of limitations. 194 00:11:33,901 --> 00:11:36,821 Some states have begun permitting adults to file suit 195 00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:38,864 long after the alleged abuse. 196 00:11:38,906 --> 00:11:41,325 New York state is holding hearings on it now. 197 00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:44,495 I didn't know what he was doing, but I knew it was wrong 198 00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:46,831 and I begged him to stop, but he wouldn't. 199 00:11:46,872 --> 00:11:50,543 I want other survivors of child sexual abuse 200 00:11:50,584 --> 00:11:54,672 and incest to know that they are not alone 201 00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:57,675 and that the perpetrators can be brought to justice. 202 00:12:00,761 --> 00:12:02,888 Right before the Franklin case, 203 00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:06,475 if somebody wanted to sue their parents 204 00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:09,937 for abuse that happened 20 years earlier, 205 00:12:10,146 --> 00:12:12,064 they wouldn't be allowed to. 206 00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:14,734 The statute of limitations would prevent the lawsuit. 207 00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:19,905 Then, in 1989, the first state, which was Washington state, 208 00:12:20,156 --> 00:12:24,744 enacted legislation that told the statute of limitations 209 00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:27,872 so that people could sue if they claim they repressed 210 00:12:27,913 --> 00:12:30,249 their memory, and now the memory is back. 211 00:12:30,291 --> 00:12:33,919 Two years later, California followed Washington, 212 00:12:33,961 --> 00:12:37,548 that would be 1991, and shortly thereafter, 213 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,384 state after state did the same thing. 214 00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:44,305 And that's why you began to see 215 00:12:44,346 --> 00:12:48,601 so many of these lawsuits starting in the early 1990s. 216 00:12:55,649 --> 00:12:59,069 Eileen Franklin is a courageous woman 217 00:12:59,403 --> 00:13:02,323 who overcame phenomenal self-doubts, 218 00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:05,409 overcame phenomenal psychological harm throughout 219 00:13:05,451 --> 00:13:08,412 her life. Any one of those times when she was feeling 220 00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:10,456 the doubts and thinking, "I don't want to participate," 221 00:13:10,498 --> 00:13:12,166 and the case ended, 222 00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:14,627 heavens knows what it would have taken 223 00:13:14,668 --> 00:13:16,295 for us to get where we are today 224 00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:18,464 with the good laws we have today. 225 00:13:18,506 --> 00:13:21,592 Have the demons gone away for you? 226 00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:24,637 They haven't. The memories haven't stopped coming. 227 00:13:26,430 --> 00:13:29,141 I hope that I reach a point in my life when memories stop 228 00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:32,144 and when they do, the demons will be exercised. 229 00:13:33,687 --> 00:13:36,482 In fact, you believe that other murders 230 00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:38,275 might have been committed. 231 00:13:38,317 --> 00:13:41,153 I know that my father did a lot of things 232 00:13:41,195 --> 00:13:43,322 to a lot of people, and I've given statements 233 00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:44,824 to the district attorney's office 234 00:13:44,865 --> 00:13:46,867 where crimes were involved, 235 00:13:46,909 --> 00:13:51,330 and I've been asked not to discuss them in any detail. 236 00:13:51,372 --> 00:13:54,500 Miss Franklin told the detectives that there was 237 00:13:54,542 --> 00:13:57,503 a memory coming back to her of another murder that had occurred 238 00:13:57,545 --> 00:13:59,964 that she had seen her father commit. 239 00:14:00,005 --> 00:14:02,675 After the trial was done, our detectives on the case, 240 00:14:02,716 --> 00:14:04,468 Morse and Cassandro, decided, "You know what? 241 00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:06,345 Let's look into this." 242 00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:09,765 Could this be another murder committed by Franklin? 243 00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:12,184 It says here that Eileen told you about 244 00:14:12,226 --> 00:14:17,982 a possible other murder of a young girl aged 16 to 20. 245 00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:19,859 Dark hair, pretty. 246 00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,194 - Yes. Okay. She did. - - She did? 247 00:14:22,444 --> 00:14:24,363 And have you looked into that case? 248 00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:27,032 Yes we have, we are still looking into that case. 249 00:14:27,074 --> 00:14:29,368 Are you dealing with a serial murderer here? 250 00:14:29,410 --> 00:14:31,620 We're investigating that possibility. 251 00:14:31,954 --> 00:14:33,706 Do you think your father 252 00:14:33,747 --> 00:14:35,291 might have killed other people? 253 00:14:35,332 --> 00:14:38,002 - Yes, I do. -  Was this in the same county? 254 00:14:38,043 --> 00:14:39,712 - Oh, I think so. - Yeah. 255 00:14:40,754 --> 00:14:42,882 You might have a memory of another crime. 256 00:14:42,923 --> 00:14:44,675 Well, I have memories that I've given statements 257 00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,677 on that have been investigated, 258 00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:50,681 and if charges are ever pressed against him, then... then... 259 00:14:50,723 --> 00:14:52,725 you know, it will become public. 260 00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:57,104 When detectives go out, they interview Eileen, 261 00:14:57,146 --> 00:14:59,690 and she's giving more specific details. 262 00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:52,743 And that was what Morse and Cassandro 263 00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:54,620 were working with as they're trying 264 00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:56,246 to find out who this victim might be. 265 00:15:57,665 --> 00:16:00,626 Bob told me that he believed it had happened 266 00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:04,046 in Pacifica and it happened in an open area. 267 00:16:04,088 --> 00:16:07,633 Well, I had previously investigated the murder 268 00:16:07,675 --> 00:16:09,843 of a young girl that happened in Pacifica. 269 00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:12,429 It happened on a golf course, it happened in a ravine. 270 00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:16,809 And I said, "Wow, that sounds like the Cascio murder." 271 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,731 Veronica Cascio was an 18-year-old 272 00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:24,191 living in Pacifica at the time. 273 00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:29,321 She, on January 7th, 1976, 274 00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:32,574 was going to a friend's to have an overnight. 275 00:16:32,866 --> 00:16:36,161 She left her house and walked to the bus stop. 276 00:16:36,203 --> 00:16:39,832 And that's sort of the last place that we know 277 00:16:39,873 --> 00:16:43,252 that she was until she was found the next morning 278 00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:46,130 still in the Sharp Park golf course, 279 00:16:46,171 --> 00:16:50,009 having been sexually assaulted and stabbed to death. 280 00:16:54,722 --> 00:16:57,683 My detectives said, let's bring to Eileen 281 00:16:57,725 --> 00:17:00,060 photographs to see if Eileen can pick out 282 00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:02,104 who this victim might be to see where it is 283 00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:04,273 and that included Veronica Cascio 284 00:17:04,314 --> 00:17:08,318 and also included some other unsolved murder victims. 285 00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,738 And the one that she selected was the Veronica Cascio. 286 00:17:10,779 --> 00:17:13,615 She said this is the one that she believed to be the case. 287 00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:16,076 Veronica Cascio was one of five murders 288 00:17:16,118 --> 00:17:19,913 of young women here in San Mateo County 289 00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,916 that were collectively known as the Gypsy Hill Killings 290 00:17:22,958 --> 00:17:26,587 from January until April 1st of 1976. 291 00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:28,881 They were all young women, 292 00:17:28,922 --> 00:17:31,258 fairly similar in appearance. 293 00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,678 They were all geographically related in terms of 294 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,388 where the bodies were found. 295 00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,559 Sexual assault was a common idea 296 00:17:40,601 --> 00:17:42,561 of why the murders had happened. 297 00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:46,023 They were all killed in a similar manner 298 00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,233 in that they were all stabbed to death. 299 00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:52,738 And there had been a claim that Franklin may have been 300 00:17:52,780 --> 00:17:55,240 responsible for all five of these killings. 301 00:17:58,285 --> 00:18:01,872 Bob and Brian were convinced that it was Franklin, 302 00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:06,376 and I knew that there was DNA evidence on that Cascio case. 303 00:18:06,668 --> 00:18:10,172 So I told Bob, "Hey, we've got DNA on that case 304 00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:14,009 and we can compare it to Franklin's 305 00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:16,929 and hopefully we can make a case out of it." 306 00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:23,685 What's your feeling, 307 00:18:23,727 --> 00:18:26,063 on whether your father did it or not? 308 00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:28,065 Oh, I know he did it. 309 00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:33,946 I always knew that my dad killed other people. 310 00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:38,450 I mean, I don't know if serial killer is the right term to us, 311 00:18:38,492 --> 00:18:41,829 but for lack of a better word, I think that's what he is. 312 00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:44,790 I think that he is a bigger monster 313 00:18:44,832 --> 00:18:46,959 than anybody will ever know. 314 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,961 Only he will ever know the truh 315 00:18:49,002 --> 00:18:51,463 about everything he's done. 316 00:18:51,797 --> 00:18:54,967 But it has torn your family apart, hasn't it? 317 00:18:57,344 --> 00:18:58,804 - Your siblings? -  This has destroyed my family. 318 00:18:58,846 --> 00:19:01,890 And the fact that my father won't tell the truth about it 319 00:19:01,932 --> 00:19:04,143 continues his destruction of the family. 320 00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:11,400 Whatever consistency of a family that existed for the Franklins, 321 00:19:11,441 --> 00:19:14,862 this case severed it completely, it blew it up. 322 00:19:14,903 --> 00:19:17,698 Every slight that occurred in their lives 323 00:19:17,739 --> 00:19:19,867 was being brought out, the hatred, 324 00:19:19,908 --> 00:19:22,828 the constant well now so-and-so family member 325 00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:24,746 is screaming about such and such family member. 326 00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:26,540 So-and-so is angry at so-and-so. 327 00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:28,917 - They've chosen sides. - They've switched sides. 328 00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:31,587 Eileen saying she won't talk to George Jr. 329 00:19:31,628 --> 00:19:34,339 because George Jr., you know, talked to the defense 330 00:19:34,381 --> 00:19:36,800 and she won't talk to Diana, her sister, 331 00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:39,136 because Diana talked to George Jr. 332 00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,388 There is one thing for sure. 333 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:45,809 This was a very, very screwed up family. 334 00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,188 I think Eileen is one of 335 00:19:49,229 --> 00:19:52,357 the most special people I've ever known. 336 00:19:52,399 --> 00:19:55,194 Eileen and I had such a strong bond. 337 00:19:56,153 --> 00:19:58,363 If it wasn't for Eileen, 338 00:19:58,405 --> 00:20:00,199 I wouldn't have had any mothering at all. 339 00:20:01,158 --> 00:20:03,702 She really did kind of mother me. 340 00:20:04,244 --> 00:20:09,416 - But, we don't talk anymore. - She gets pissed off. 341 00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:13,879 You know, she finds out that I've been collaborating 342 00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:16,381 with the enemies and Eileen 343 00:20:16,423 --> 00:20:18,550 has just become a very angry person. 344 00:20:20,427 --> 00:20:23,180 If someone didn't praise her in the family, 345 00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,057 then she wouldn't speak to them. 346 00:20:25,098 --> 00:20:29,269 If they didn't view her in this heroic world 347 00:20:29,311 --> 00:20:31,730 that she wanted from the public 348 00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:34,358 and wanted from her family as well. 349 00:20:36,485 --> 00:20:38,570 Eileen, has never felt 350 00:20:38,612 --> 00:20:42,741 that we cared about her, loved her, etc. 351 00:20:42,783 --> 00:20:45,035 So, I call Eileen up and say, 352 00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:47,788 "Hey, why don't you guys come p for, you know, Thanksgiving?" 353 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,165 She goes, "No, Barry and I have decided 354 00:20:50,207 --> 00:20:52,626 that my family has never given a damn about me, 355 00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:54,836 and there's no reason to start now." 356 00:20:55,212 --> 00:20:59,258 - I felt, "Okay, I love you too. - Good bye." 357 00:20:59,299 --> 00:21:02,552 So, right there, I knew what the score was. 358 00:21:02,594 --> 00:21:05,013 I knew that anybody that had contact with her 359 00:21:05,055 --> 00:21:10,686 would just be yelled at, screamed at, and that was it. 360 00:21:10,978 --> 00:21:13,146 Last conversation I had with her. 361 00:21:15,315 --> 00:21:16,942 This whole episode basically 362 00:21:16,984 --> 00:21:19,069 did tear the Franklin family apart, 363 00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:22,030 and it made it so that Eileen was an outcast from her family, 364 00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:24,157 and she knew that going in, 365 00:21:24,199 --> 00:21:27,119 she knew that this would break things in half 366 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,162 and that some people would support her 367 00:21:29,204 --> 00:21:31,748 and other family members wouldn't support her. 368 00:21:31,790 --> 00:21:36,420 And that it might mean that she would lose whatever family 369 00:21:36,461 --> 00:21:39,256 she had left that she was close to. She did it anyway. 370 00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,508 - She felt she had to. - She had to do the right thing. 371 00:21:42,884 --> 00:21:44,428 Where's your mother in all of this? 372 00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:47,347 Where's mom? 373 00:21:50,392 --> 00:21:54,813 My mother was, I think, supportive of you, 374 00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:56,648 but very ambiguous about it. 375 00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:58,817 And she didn't want Eileen to go forward. 376 00:21:58,859 --> 00:22:00,819 In a lot of ways 377 00:22:00,861 --> 00:22:02,821 she basically didn't want Eileen to go forward at all. 378 00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:04,990 Did your mother know the abuse was going on in the house? 379 00:22:05,032 --> 00:22:06,825 - She says no. -  She says no. 380 00:22:06,867 --> 00:22:09,328 She says no, but she also makes statements such as, 381 00:22:09,369 --> 00:22:11,788 - you know, her life was hell. - It was a living nightmare. 382 00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:13,498 She was afraid for her life, 383 00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:15,292 but Eileen had a happy childhood. 384 00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:18,170 So it's a little hard to say which she believes 385 00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:22,341 Leah, although she talks to us, 386 00:22:22,382 --> 00:22:25,177 she doesn't know who I am. 387 00:22:25,218 --> 00:22:28,013 She doesn't know who any of her children are. 388 00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:31,183 She has this nice little 8 1/2 x 11" 389 00:22:31,224 --> 00:22:34,394 glossy magazine page picture of each of us. 390 00:22:34,436 --> 00:22:37,856 It's one dimensional. You know, the setting is perfect, 391 00:22:37,898 --> 00:22:40,859 the lighting is perfect, everything is perfect. 392 00:22:40,901 --> 00:22:44,363 And that's it, doesn't know anything else beyond that. 393 00:22:45,781 --> 00:22:52,204 Sometimes you feel that the girls are angrier 394 00:22:52,245 --> 00:22:55,540 at the mother than they are at George 395 00:22:55,582 --> 00:22:59,669 because they felt she did not protect them. 396 00:22:59,711 --> 00:23:03,256 She was, by their account, very passive. 397 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,638 I think for a lot of years, a lot of us 398 00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:12,724 really did think that just my dad was the monster, 399 00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:16,311 and it just took a while to realize that she too 400 00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:19,648 - was just as abusive as him. - I mean, 401 00:23:19,689 --> 00:23:23,235 she has called us terrible things, you know, name calling. 402 00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:26,905 And that she hates us, that we ruined her life. 403 00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:29,074 You know. 404 00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:32,035 I'll tell you, it's one thing to be beaten yourself, 405 00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:33,912 but to watch children, 406 00:23:33,954 --> 00:23:36,915 I don't know how she ever could have lived a day 407 00:23:36,957 --> 00:23:40,585 with herself, watching innocent children being beaten up. 408 00:23:43,672 --> 00:23:46,258 Knowing the abuse that was in the household, 409 00:23:47,175 --> 00:23:49,636 why did you allow it to go on? 410 00:23:49,678 --> 00:23:51,263 - Well, it's an easy one. - It's such-- 411 00:23:51,304 --> 00:23:53,265 I mean, it's so simple to answer. 412 00:23:53,306 --> 00:23:56,768 Again, we're talking 1969, oka? 413 00:23:56,810 --> 00:23:59,855 At that point, they do not have shelters for battered women. 414 00:23:59,896 --> 00:24:03,108 You could not do anything about it in those days. 415 00:24:03,150 --> 00:24:06,778 I was being terrorized, thoroughly terrorized. Okay? 416 00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:09,698 I had no feelings that I could survive 417 00:24:09,739 --> 00:24:13,285 in the real world since I was having 418 00:24:13,326 --> 00:24:15,120 an almost impossible time surviving 419 00:24:15,162 --> 00:24:16,955 within my own four walls. 420 00:24:16,997 --> 00:24:21,626 Every bit of anger, guilt, hurt was done on me. 421 00:24:21,668 --> 00:24:24,296 I can't believe that I survived that, believe me. 422 00:24:26,423 --> 00:24:30,260 Leah, the mother, is pretty hard to get a fix on. 423 00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:33,054 I mean, she, as the charges were brought up, 424 00:24:33,096 --> 00:24:35,140 believed them for a lot of reasons. 425 00:24:35,182 --> 00:24:38,101 She had accused George to his face earlier 426 00:24:38,143 --> 00:24:39,644 of having murdered Susan Nason. 427 00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:42,981 Except that after the trial, 428 00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:46,818 she read some books, and had some thoughts and so forth 429 00:24:46,860 --> 00:24:51,281 and eventually decided that George Franklin was not guilty. 430 00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:54,367 Which, of course, then super fractured 431 00:24:54,409 --> 00:24:56,661 the relationship with Eileen. 432 00:24:56,703 --> 00:25:02,792 You no longer believe what Eileen said? Correct? 433 00:25:02,834 --> 00:25:04,836 Correct. I no longer believe it. 434 00:25:04,878 --> 00:25:06,963 Astonishing wors from the woman 435 00:25:07,005 --> 00:25:10,675 who once testified under oath that she believed her daughter. 436 00:25:10,717 --> 00:25:12,677 There is no more reason for any of us 437 00:25:12,719 --> 00:25:15,013 to believe that he committed that murder. 438 00:25:15,263 --> 00:25:19,851 During the trial, Eileen testifies 439 00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:24,439 that one of the things that happened to her 440 00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:28,276 as a child after she had repressed the memory of this 441 00:25:28,318 --> 00:25:31,696 is that she would pull out her hair 442 00:25:31,738 --> 00:25:36,368 in the exact spot where Susan Nason suffered a wound 443 00:25:36,409 --> 00:25:38,203 and she would not know why, 444 00:25:38,245 --> 00:25:41,873 but she would bloody herself by pulling out hair there. 445 00:25:41,915 --> 00:25:43,458 What I did as a child 446 00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:45,627 is I would start pulling hairs back here, 447 00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:48,838 and I got to the point where I was scratching it open 448 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,715 and I would make it bleed. 449 00:25:51,007 --> 00:25:54,928 The interesting thing about it is that Leah Franklin 450 00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:59,224 turned on Eileen and her credibility when she heard 451 00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:02,352 about this bloody hair episode 452 00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:04,729 because she said Eileen never pulled out her hair 453 00:26:04,771 --> 00:26:05,855 in that bloody spot. 454 00:26:05,897 --> 00:26:07,607 Leah was stunned. 455 00:26:07,649 --> 00:26:09,943 She said she brushed Eileen's hair every day 456 00:26:09,985 --> 00:26:13,154 - and never saw a bald spot. - Look at her hair. 457 00:26:13,196 --> 00:26:15,323 She's got it brushed up from the sides, 458 00:26:15,365 --> 00:26:17,242 and you would hardly be brushing your hair up 459 00:26:17,284 --> 00:26:19,786 from the right side of your head or having me do it for her 460 00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:23,081 if there was a bleeding bald spot. 461 00:26:23,123 --> 00:26:25,083 Your mother has said that, in fact, 462 00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:28,086 "No, my daughter never had a big, bald, bloody spot." 463 00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:33,425 The truth is that my mother was not present in the home. 464 00:26:33,466 --> 00:26:36,386 It's just real clear that she needs to maintain 465 00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:37,929 her belief that she was a good mother. 466 00:26:37,971 --> 00:26:40,223 This case was the greatest smorgasbord 467 00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:43,518 of a family relationship that I've seen in a case in itself. 468 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,562 There were no more Christmas gatherings 469 00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:47,606 - for the Franklin family. - It was over. 470 00:26:49,649 --> 00:26:52,110 I think it's very difficult for people to understand 471 00:26:52,152 --> 00:26:54,195 the family dynamics in a violent 472 00:26:54,237 --> 00:26:57,741 and incestuous family, the love versus the torture, 473 00:26:57,782 --> 00:26:59,743 and then when you factor in the repression, 474 00:26:59,784 --> 00:27:02,203 I think it's very hard for people to understand. And I-- 475 00:27:02,245 --> 00:27:04,331 And as time went on, you could see 476 00:27:04,372 --> 00:27:06,958 Eileen was reveling in the publicity. 477 00:27:07,167 --> 00:27:09,294 Not much doubt about that. 478 00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:13,590 Eileen, wanted to play the starring role 479 00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:18,261 and was excoriated by the family for doing so. 480
