ENJOYING THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF HER LIFE...

WE HAD A BIG, PEACEFUL, HAPPY FAMILY,

AND THERE WERE NO NEGATIVES.

...IN A FAMILY DEDICATED TO SERVING GOD

AND HELPING THE NEEDY.

♪ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ♪

BUT THE LORD'S WORK CAN BE A DANGEROUS BUSINESS.

PEOPLE WERE LITERALLY PULLING WEAPONS ON HIM.

HE HAD NO FEAR.

BENEATH THE GOODWILL, A DARKNESS IS GROWING...

Young man: BROGAN, HIT HIM!

EVIL, DEATH. IT'S ALL I SEEN IN THAT MAN'S EYES.

...UNTIL IT EXPLODES IN A WAVE OF VIOLENCE

THAT HORRIFIES THE COMMUNITY.

IT BECAME VERY CLEAR AT THAT POINT

THAT WE WERE DEALING WITH A SERIAL KILLER.

AND SOMEWHERE IN THESE VIDEOS

HIDES A GENUINE AMERICAN MONSTER.

LET ME LOOK IN THERE.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

IT'S MEMORIAL DAY 1996,

AND THE WEATHER'S PERFECT FOR A FAMILY TRIP

TO TUSCORA AMUSEMENT PARK HERE IN NORTHEAST OHIO.

FOR 2-YEAR-OLD TONYA BEASLEY,

IT'S JUST ABOUT THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD.

THAT WAS FUN, HUH?

GRANDMA CAROL AND HER HUSBAND JIM

ARE CAPTURING THE ENTIRE FUN-FILLED DAY

IN THIS NEVER-BEFORE-BROADCAST HOME VIDEO.

OKAY, HERE WE GO.

MY FAMILY SETTLED IN THE AKRON AREA.

I'VE BEEN THERE MY WHOLE LIFE.

MY MOM HAS LIVED THERE MOST OF HER WHOLE LIFE,

MY GRANDMA AS WELL.

AND I WAS THE FIRST GRANDCHILD,

SO IT WAS A BIG EVENT FOR EVERYBODY.

WAS THAT FUN?

I ASKED HER-- I ASKED HER IF SHE WAS SCARED.

SHE SAID, "NO."

THERE THEY GO.

MOM TINA BEASLEY

ENJOYS THE RIDES ALMOST AS MUCH AS HER DAUGHTER.

WE WERE A HAPPY FAMILY.

I MEAN, THE TIMES WE HAD WERE FANTASTIC.

WE DONE EVERYTHING AS A FAMILY UNIT.

NOW THEY'RE GONNA BE ACROBATS.

THERE GOES-- THERE GOES MAMA UP THERE.

LITTLE TONYA'S THRILL-SEEKING

MAY HAVE BEEN INHERITED FROM MOM AND DAD.

TINA IS A BIG-TIME MOTORCYCLE FAN,

WHICH IS HOW SHE MET HER HUSBAND AND TONYA'S FATHER,

RICHARD BEASLEY.

WE WAS BOTH INTO THE BIKE SCENE,

AND WE WENT TO A CLUB POKER RUN,

AND I HAD AGREED TO GO TO COFFEE WITH HIM,

AND HE WAS A NICE GUY.

I MEAN, VERY POLITE, VERY SOFT-SPOKEN,

AN ALL-AROUND GOOD GUY.

DESPITE HIS RUGGED APPEARANCE,

TONYA'S DAD IS A WELL-LOVED LOCAL FIGURE

IN THEIR HOMETOWN OF AKRON.

HE WAS JUST KNOWN AS A BIG TEDDY BEAR.

I MEAN, MY DAD'S A VERY TALL MAN,

HE'S A VERY WIDE MAN, AND PEOPLE,

INSTEAD OF BEING SCARED BY THAT, THE WAY HE CARRIED HIMSELF,

IT WAS COMFORTING TO PEOPLE.

AND FOR TINA, HE'S THE MODEL HUSBAND.

ALL THE BILLS WERE PAID.

ME AND TONYA DIDN'T WANT FOR NOTHING.

SHE HAD THE BEST BABY THINGS.

I HAD ALL THE CLOTHES THAT I COULD EVER WANT.

HE JUST BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY.

THERE WERE TIMES WHEN HE WOULD GRAB MY HANDS,

AND WE WOULD SWING, AND I LITERALLY FELT

LIKE I WAS FLYING WHEN I WAS DOING THAT.

BIG SWING, DADDY. SHE LIKES TO SWING BIG.

THIS HOME MOVIE

CAPTURES A HAPPY FAMILY IN PERFECT HARMONY.

BUT RICHARD'S ASSOCIATION WITH AKRON'S BIKER SCENE

WILL COST HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

HE'S INVOLVED IN AN UNLAWFUL SIDE BUSINESS

SELLING ILLEGAL FIREARMS.

HE DID NOT TELL ME THE WHOLE TRUTH.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S A BIG LIE TO TELL.

HE NEVER TOLD ME HE WAS IN TROUBLE.

A LOT OF HIS CRIMES WERE ILLEGAL,

BUT IT WAS THINGS THAT WERE CONSIDERED NORMAL

FOR THE TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE GROUPS HE HUNG AROUND WITH.

HE WAS NEVER DOING ANYTHING TO HARM ANYBODY.

HE WAS JUST TRYING TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY

AND DID NOT DO IT IN THE PROPER WAY.

HE'S CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL TRANSPORT OF FIREARMS,

AND, IN 1997,

HE'S SENTENCED TO 7 YEARS IN PRISON.

I JUST KNEW IT WAS WHERE BAD PEOPLE WENT,

BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS ANYTHING SERIOUS.

I JUST THOUGHT, "OH, HE'S GOING TO GO AWAY

FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN HE'LL BE BACK."

BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THE EXTENT OF HOW LONG IT WAS GOING TO BE.

DID YOU LIKE THE PARADE, TONYA?

WE WENT FROM THIS PEACEFUL, HAPPY FAMILY,

MY MOM FINALLY HAVING THE BABY

SHE ALWAYS WANTED WITH THE HUSBAND

SHE ALWAYS WANTED,

TO ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVING TO RAISE A CHILD ON HER OWN.

THIS IS YOUR BACKYARD, ISN'T IT?

TINA'S MARRIAGE TO RICHARD ENDS IN DIVORCE,

BUT SHE MAKES SURE HE CONTINUES TO SEE HIS DAUGHTER.

HE ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR VISITS, AND HE WOULD WRITE ME

A LETTER A DAY ALMOST AND SEND THEM TO ME.

HIS LETTERS AND HIS VISITS WERE SUPER FUN.

HE TRIED TO MAKE IT AS MUCH OF A POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE AS HE COULD.

SHE WAS DADDY'S GIRL AT THAT POINT.

I TOLD HER, "YOU SHOULD STILL LOVE YOUR DAD.

YOUR DAD STILL LOVES YOU."

I GOT TONYA, AND I'LL GET A CLOSE-UP OF HER.

HOW OLD ARE YOU, TONYA?

10 GOING ON 11.

TONYA IS AT HER GRANDMA'S HOUSE

CELEBRATING GRANDPA JIM'S 76th BIRTHDAY,

BUT THE FAMILY GATHERING IS EXTRA SPECIAL.

AFTER SIX YEARS IN JAIL, TONYA'S FATHER, RICHARD,

HAS BEEN RELEASED EARLY FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR.

I GOT A GOOD CLOSE-UP OF YOU, RICH.

OH, GOOD. AM I CLEAR?

YES, YOU ARE.

I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO PROCESS ANYTHING ELSE,

OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT,

"OH, MY GOSH. HE'S RIGHT THERE.

HE'S SITTING RIGHT THERE."

RICHARD HAS MOVED IN WITH HIS MOM...

THERE'S MOM.

...AND HE'S THRILLED TO BE MAKING UP

FOR LOST TIME WITH HIS DAUGHTER.

YEAH, YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS JUST A KID.

I'D JUST LOOK OVER AT HIM AND INSTANTLY BE HAPPY

BECAUSE HE JUST ALWAYS LOOKED HAPPY, ALL THE TIME.

HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

TO CREATE THIS AWESOME LIFE AGAIN FOR HIMSELF,

AND HE WAS VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT IT,

AND IT RUBBED OFF ON EVERYONE AROUND HIM.

DURING HIS INCARCERATION,

RICH MADE A DEEP CONNECTION WITH GOD,

AND HE'S EAGER TO PROVE TO EVERYONE

THAT HE'S A CHANGED MAN.

EVERY CHILD NEEDS A FATHER, AND HE HAD SAID HE CHANGED.

HE SAID HE FOUND GOD TRUTHFULLY.

SO I THOUGHT, "WELL, MAYBE IT IS FOR THE GOOD."

RICHARD'S ROAD TO REDEMPTION BEGINS WITH A NEW JOB

FOR A TRUCKING COMPANY,

BUT IT'S THE CHURCH THAT IS NOW HIS PASSION.

PLEASE TAKE OUT YOUR BIBLES.

LET'S READ FROM PSALM 61.

ONE THING IS CLEAR--

RICHARD'S JAILHOUSE RELIGIOUS EPIPHANY IS FOR REAL.

IT LITERALLY WENT FROM

PRISON BEING HIS LIFE TO CHURCH LIFE,

AND MY DAD ALWAYS STRONGLY EMPHASIZED FAITH AND FAMILY.

THE REFORMED EX-CON BECOMES DEEPLY COMMITTED,

NOT ONLY TO TURNING HIS LIFE AROUND,

BUT ALSO HELPING VULNERABLE MEMBERS

OF THE AKRON COMMUNITY

AVOID THE SAME MISTAKE HE'S MADE.

EVERYTHING HE DID ALWAYS HAD A PURPOSE OR A CAUSE,

AND HE SEEMED PRETTY WRAPPED UP IN IT.

AND THAT'S ALL EVERYONE KNEW HIM FOR,

WAS ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT HE HAD DONE.

HE HELPED EVERYBODY.

RICH WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF OF HIS BACK.

HIS NEWFOUND DEDICATION TO HELPING OTHERS

STARTS WITH HIS OLD FRIEND AND BIKER BUDDY

MICHAEL RAFFERTY.

BROGAN, TIME TO GET UP.

MICHAEL'S A SINGLE FATHER

STRUGGLING TO TAKE CARE OF HIS 10-YEAR-OLD SON, BROGAN,

WHILE HOLDING DOWN HIS JOB AS A MACHINIST.

ME AND BROGAN SHARE THE SAME MOTHER

AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT DADS.

MY MOM STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTION FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE.

SHE KIND OF LEFT US.

BROGAN AND HIS DAD LIVE ALONE,

AND BROGAN, A QUIET BOY WITH FEW FRIENDS,

HAS LEARNED TO FEND FOR HIMSELF.

HE GOT HIMSELF UP IN THE MORNING,

HE MADE HIMSELF BREAKFAST, HE WENT TO SCHOOL,

HE CAME HOME, AND HE READ.

HE READ A LOT.

HEY, BROGAN.

TONYA'S WAITING OUT IN THE CAR.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

MY DAD WOULD ALWAYS GO PICK BROGAN UP FOR CHURCH

BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD...

RICH FIGURES BROGAN COULD USE A FRIEND,

SOMEONE MORE BUBBLY AND OUTGOING LIKE TONYA.

BROGAN WAS VERY GENTLE, IN A SENSE.

LIKE, HE WAS VERY SOFT-SPOKEN, VERY NICE, VERY KIND.

BROGAN RAFFERTY SOON BECOMES JUST ANOTHER MEMBER

OF THE BEASLEY FAMILY.

Thank you.

RICH'S DEDICATION TO THE CHURCH GOES WAY BEYOND SUNDAY SERVICE.

EVERY SPARE MOMENT HE GETS,

HE VOLUNTEERS OVER AT THE HOPE CAFé,

A CHURCH-RUN CHARITY

IN ONE OF AKRON'S TOUGHEST NEIGHBORHOODS.

GET A FREE CUP OF COFFEE AND WEEKLY DINNERS

FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE HOMELESS,

AND YOU TALK ABOUT THE GOSPEL.

TONYA, COME AND READ SOMETHING FOR MY BROTHER OVER HERE.

HE AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER HAD HELPED OUT

LITERALLY EVERY PERSON IN THE ROOM,

EMOTIONALLY OR MONETARILY,

AND HE EXPOSED ME TO REAL LIFE,

AND IT JUST GAVE ME THIS VISION FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

THAT I WANTED TO BE EXACTLY LIKE HIM.

DID YOU TELL THEM ABOUT BREAKFAST?

THE MAN IN THIS HOME VIDEO HAS BECOME THE FATHER

AND ROLE MODEL TONYA'S ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING.

BUT NO ONE AT THIS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

POSSIBLY HAVE KNOWN

RICHARD'S WORK HELPING THE COMMUNITY

WILL SPAWN A MONSTER

THAT WILL DESTROY THESE HAPPY MEMORIES FOREVER.

CAROL, ZOOM IN. ZOOM IN, UP CLOSE.

TIME TO THROW HER TO THEM, DADDY!

HERE IN AKRON, OHIO,

RICHARD BEASLEY IS MAKING AMENDS FOR HIS WAYWARD PAST.

DO YOU SEE LEO AND CLEO?

THE 2-YEAR-OLD GIRL SPENDING QUALITY TIME

WITH HER DADDY IN THESE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN HOME VIDEOS

IS NOW A TEENAGER.

THEY'D LIKE A NICE LITTLE GIRL LIKE YOU FOR LUNCH.

BUT TONYA BEASLEY STILL ENJOYS PRECIOUS TIME WITH DAD.

WE WOULD GO TO THE ZOO BECAUSE THAT WAS THE THING

WE SHARED FROM THE PAST

THAT WE COULD STILL KIND OF RELATE OVER,

AND WE WOULD LOOK AT ALL THE ANIMALS.

AND SINCE IT WAS SO CLOSE, WE WOULD GO ALL THE TIME.

HIS FUTURE WAS ALL GOING TO BE ABOUT BEING A DAD

AND BEING THERE FOR ME.

I WAS APPREHENSIVE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME

I HAD HOPED HE HONESTLY CHANGED AND WOULD BE A DAD TO HER.

SHE NEEDED A DAD.

AND RICHARD'S DEVOTION TO HIS DAUGHTER

IS MATCHED ONLY BY HIS DEVOTION TO THE BIBLE.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SCRIPTURE IN OUR LIVES HAS GOT TO BE...

HE NOW GIVES SO MUCH OF HIS TIME TO HELPING THE NEEDY

THAT THE LOCALS CALL HIM CHAPLAIN RICH.

PEOPLE COME TO ME LIKE, "HEY, YOU'RE CHAPLAIN RICH'S DAUGHTER.

HE'S A REALLY GOOD GUY."

THE EFFECT IT HAS...

I WAS EXTREMELY PROUD OF HIM, LIKE,

"HE'S GONNA BE A GOOD GUY PERMANENTLY."

BUT JUST AS RICH SEEMS TO HAVE HIS LIFE IN ORDER,

CATASTROPHE STRIKES.

DAD?

WHEN HIS CAR IS HIT BY A TRUCK,

HE'S LUCKY TO COME OUT ALIVE.

HE HAD SNAPPED HIS ACHILLES TENDON,

AND CRUSHED HIS STERNUM

AND A BUNCH OF OTHER BACK INJURIES.

HIS JOB AT THE TRUCK COMPANY IS OVER...

I'M SO SORRY.

...BUT RICHARD BEASLEY IS DETERMINED

TO TURN A NEGATIVE INTO A POSITIVE.

USING COMPENSATION MONEY FROM THE ACCIDENT,

RICH BUYS A LITTLE TWO-STORY HOUSE OVER ON YALE STREET,

AND THERE CHAPLAIN RICH DOES SOMETHING REMARKABLE.

COME RIGHT THIS WAY.

HE OPENS HIS DOORS

AND OFFERS SHELTER TO THOSE WHO NEED IT...

PLACE COULD USE A WOMAN'S TOUCH.

...AKRON'S HOMELESS AND VULNERABLE.

THIS HERE IS THE LIVING ROOM.

TO HIM IT WAS PERFECT BECAUSE HE COULD TAKE THIS HOUSE,

USE HALF OF IT FOR HIMSELF TO LIVE,

AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDE A HALFWAY HOUSE

TO HELP ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS.

YOU CAN STAY RIGHT HERE.

BUT HIS TROUBLED TENANTS

ARE OFTEN ESCAPING DANGEROUS LIVES.

WHO IS IT?

IRIS? WHERE ARE YOU?

SHE AIN'T GOING WITH YOU, SON.

PEOPLE WERE LITERALLY, LIKE, THREATENING HIM,

AND PULLING WEAPONS ON HIM, AND GETTING PHYSICAL WITH HIM.

HE HAD NO FEAR AND NO WORRIES OTHER THAN HELPING THESE PEOPLE.

THIS HERE IS GOD'S HOUSE, AND YOU AIN'T COMING IN.

ACROSS TOWN, RICH'S BEST FRIEND, MIKE RAFFERTY,

HAS HIS OWN PROBLEMS.

THE SINGLE FATHER IS STRUGGLING TO COPE

WITH HIS NOW TEENAGE SON, BROGAN.

DAD? DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME ON, MAN. THAT'S MY STUFF.

I CAN SEE WHY YOU'RE HIDING YOUR REPORT CARD.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

BROGAN WAS, I GUESS, STARTING TO GET INTO MORE TROUBLE

AT HOME AND AT SCHOOL.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY STUFF.

IN THE ABSENCE OF HIS DRUG-ADDICTED MOM...

EVERYTHING IN THIS HOUSE IS MY STUFF!

YOU GOT THAT, BOY?!

...HE IS SUBJECTED TO HIS DAD'S TOUGH LOVE.

JUST GIVE ME THAT.

- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! - WHAT DO YOU CARE?

AND INCREASINGLY

HE TURNS TO MENTOR CHAPLAIN RICH.

BROGAN COULD CALL HIM WHEN HE NEEDED ANYTHING.

WHO ELSE COULD BROGAN CALL?

HE COULDN'T CALL HIS DAD.

HIS DAD WAS EITHER WORKING OR SLEEPING.

HE NEVER KNEW IF MY MOM WAS GOING TO BE THERE FOR HIM.

RICHARD'S HALFWAY HOUSE

BECOMES BROGAN'S SECOND HOME.

BUT FOR TONYA, IT'S NOW AN UNWELCOMING ENVIRONMENT.

ARE YOU GOING TO CHURCH LATER?

I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE.

DEPENDS ON UNCLE RICH, IF HE WANTS TO.

WHERE'S MY DAD?

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

I FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE THERE.

THE MEN THAT HE HOUSED, WHEN HE WASN'T IN THE ROOM,

THEY WOULD MAKE INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS.

IT JUST WAS NOT A POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE.

I MEAN, SHE WANTED TO HAVE FATHER-DAUGHTER TIME,

BUT THAT'S NOWHERE, TO ME,

FOR A 13, 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL TO BE.

BUT THE CRACKLING THREAT OF DANGER FROM THE GUESTS

AT CHAPLAIN RICH'S HOUSE

SEEMS TO HAVE THE REVERSE EFFECT ON YOUNG BROGAN.

NICE GUN.

HE THOUGHT THAT WHEN YOU GOT AWAY WITH ILLEGAL THINGS

TO MAKE MONEY, IT WAS COOL.

THAT THAT'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE MONEY.

THAT'S HOW THEY SHOW IT IN THE TV SHOWS, YOU KNOW?

THROUGH HISTORY, THAT'S HOW CRIMINALS HAVE MADE MONEY.

MORE THAN EVER, THE TROUBLED TEEN NEEDS THE GUIDANCE

OF HIS MENTOR, RICHARD BEASLEY.

OH, A BABY MONKEY.

BUT HIS POSITIVE INFLUENCE

IS ABOUT TO COME TO AN ABRUPT END.

TEENAGE TONYA WILL RECEIVE A SURPRISE VOICEMAIL

FROM HER FATHER.

ALLS IT REALLY SAID WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HOW

HE'D BE OUT OF TOWN AND I WON'T BE ABLE

TO GET HOLD OF HIM FOR A WHILE, BUT HE REALLY LOVES ME.

ALL AT ONCE, HE JUST DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.

THERE GOES DAD AND TONYA INTO THE BUTTERFLY HOUSE.

THE GOOD SAMARITAN WHO OVERCAME HIS DARK PAST

TO BECOME A BEACON OF LIGHT IS GONE,

HIS WHEREABOUTS A MYSTERY.

AND THE MYSTERY WILL DEEPEN IN THE MOST TERRIFYING WAY.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE SECOND HE ENTERED MY DOOR

SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

HAPPY MEMORIES OF A FAMILY DAY OUT

CAPTURED ON NEWLY DISCOVERED HOME-MOVIE FOOTAGE.

WHO'S THIS GUY?

IT'S 1996,

AND TONYA BEASLEY CAN ALWAYS TURN TO DAD, RICHARD,

WHEN SHE NEEDS A HUG.

HERE COMES THE NICE CLOWNS.

THEIR SPECIAL BOND WILL LAST ANOTHER 15 YEARS

UNTIL RICHARD MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS.

HE DID HAVE A FRIEND IN SOUTHERN OHIO

THAT HE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT, THAT HAD A WHOLE BUNCH OF LAND,

SO I JUST FIGURED HE WAS STAYING THERE.

WHAT DO YOU SEE, HUH?

LET ME LOOK IN THERE.

FOUR MONTHS AFTER RICHARD'S DISAPPEARANCE,

100 MILES AWAY, POLICE GET A 911 CALL.

YEAH, I HAD GOT A CALL LATE ON THE EVENING,

NOVEMBER 6th, 2011.

THE SHERIFF HAD CALLED ME TO INFORM ME

THAT THEY HAD HAD A SHOOTING.

THE SHERIFF THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY STRANGE.

THE VICTIM IS A 50-YEAR-OLD MAN.

HE'S BEEN SHOT IN THE ARM.

DETECTIVE MACKIE PAYS HIM A VISIT IN THE HOSPITAL.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

HIS NAME IS SCOTT DAVIS, AND HE HAS AN INCREDIBLE STORY TO TELL.

SO I GOT INTO TOWN YESTERDAY.

SCOTT SAYS HE DROVE UP YESTERDAY FROM SOUTH CAROLINA

IN RESPONSE TO A JOB ADVERTISED ON CRAIGSLIST.

IT SAID 688 ACRES, $300 A WEEK, FREE ROOM AND BOARD.

I WAS LIKE, "THAT DON'T SOUND BAD."

HEY, JACK. IT'S SCOTT.

HE ARRANGED TO MEET HIS NEW BOSS,

SOMEONE NAMED JACK,

AT A DINER IN A SMALL TOWN ON THE OHIO-WEST VIRGINIA BORDER.

OKAY, BUDDY.

ALL HIS BELONGINGS ARE PACKED

INTO THE BACK OF HIS CAR, READY TO BEGIN A NEW LIFE.

THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD MET JACK,

HE JUST LOOKED LIKE A NORMAL FARMER GUY.

HE HAD ON, YOU KNOW, JEANS AND LEATHER JACKET.

JUST LOOKED LIKE A NORMAL JOE TO ME.

JACK'S NEPHEW IS ALSO THERE

TO HELP SCOTT MOVE HIS STUFF INTO THE FARMSTEAD.

BUT FIRST, THEY EAT BREAKFAST.

"GET WHATEVER YOU WANT, MAN.

WHATEVER YOU'RE HUNGRY FOR."

THE ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT MENU OR WHATEVER.

AFTER EATING, THEY RIDE OUT

TO THE PROPERTY TOGETHER IN JACK'S TRUCK.

WE WENT UP OVER GULLIES, AND THERE WAS A COUPLE TIMES

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GO OFF.

IT WAS JUST THAT NARROW.

THE ROAD BECOMES IMPASSABLE, SO JACK PULLS OVER.

WE STARTED WALKING BACK IN THE WOODS,

AND AT THAT POINT THE KID DROVE OFF IN THE CAR.

I WAS SEEING THE WOODS GETTING THICKER

AND THEY'RE GETTING THICKER.

THIS IS REAL COUNTRY OUT HERE. I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING AROUND.

HE SAID, "YOU KNOW SOMETHING?"

HE SAID, "THIS MUST BE THE WRONG SPOT."

MY FIRST MISTAKE WAS WHEN I TURNED MY BACK ON HIM.

AND AS SOON AS I TURNED AROUND, I HEARD CLICK.

THE GUN MUST'VE MISFIRED OR SOMETHING

BECAUSE WHEN I TURNED AROUND,

THAT GUN WAS ALREADY COMING BACK UP.

THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED AT HIM.

EVIL. THAT'S ALL I SEEN IN THAT MAN'S EYES.

AND I MEAN I WAS FIVE FEET AWAY FROM HIM

AND THEY WERE JUST-- NOTHING THERE, EMPTY.

ALL I HEAR IS BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG.

I'M TRYING TO GET AWAY. I SCAMPERED FOR MY LIFE.

IT'S ONLY WHEN SCOTT HIDES

THAT HE NOTICES HE'S WOUNDED.

SCOTT STAYS HIDDEN FOR THE NEXT 7 HOURS, BLEEDING AND EXHAUSTED,

UNTIL HE CAN TAKE NO MORE AND MAKES A RUN FOR IT.

I'VE BEEN SHOT. CAN YOU HELP ME?

THE OUTLANDISH STORY SOUNDS LIKE

IT'S RIPPED STRAIGHT FROM THE PAGES OF A THRILLER.

BUT IF SCOTT'S TELLING THE TRUTH,

THEN DETECTIVE MACKIE'S

GOT A TRIGGER-HAPPY MADMAN ON HIS HANDS.

AT THAT POINT, WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE CRIME SCENE WAS.

SO AT THE ONSET, WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION.

THE DETECTIVE STARTS HIS INVESTIGATION AT THE PARKING LOT

WHERE SCOTT MET JACK AND HIS NEPHEW.

SCOTT'S CAR IS RIGHT WHERE HE LEFT IT

PACKED FULL OF HIS BELONGINGS.

I FOUND A NOTE IN THERE WHERE HE HAD WROTE DOWN

"SHONEY'S, MARIETTA, OHIO, 9:00 A.M.,"

WHICH CORROBORATES HIS STORY.

A SHONEY'S DINER

IS WHERE SCOTT CLAIMED THE MEN ATE BREAKFAST.

I IMMEDIATELY GOT IN CONTACT

WITH THE MANAGEMENT OF SHONEY'S

AND REQUESTED THEIR SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS.

RETRIEVING THE FILES TAKES TIME,

SO DETECTIVE MACKIE HAS A WAIT ON HIS HANDS.

BUT THERE COULD BE AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION

TO FINDING SCOTT'S ATTACKERS.

THEY HAVE LEFT A DIGITAL FOOTPRINT.

WE HAD THE CRAIGSLIST AD,

AND WE HAD A PHONE NUMBER.

FINDING THE SOURCE WAS PARAMOUNT TO THE CASE AT THAT POINT.

I'D LIKE YOU TO TRACE AN I.P. FOR ME.

I'LL SEND YOU THE LINK SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

IN THE CYBER CRIMES UNIT,

THE FBI IS SET UP TO GET THIS INFORMATION VERY QUICKLY.

DETECTIVE MACKIE ENLISTS THE HELP OF THE FBI.

THEY CAN TRACE JACK'S PHONE NUMBER AND THE EXACT LOCATION

OF THE COMPUTER THAT UPLOADED THE CRAIGSLIST AD.

THIS WAS URGENT,

THAT WE NEEDED TO LOCATE WHOEVER PLACED THIS AD

AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

AT THAT POINT WE WERE JUST WAITING FOR A BREAK IN THE CASE.

TONYA BEASLEY IS ALSO WAITING

TO HEAR FROM HER FATHER, RICHARD.

HE'S BEEN MISSING FROM AKRON FOR FOUR MONTHS.

ALL THOSE YEARS OF TRYING

TO MAKE THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM,

ALL FOR IT TO JUST BE GONE JUST LIKE THAT.

AND SHE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE AFFECTED

BY RICH'S DISAPPEARANCE.

BROGAN RAFFERTY, THE HIGH SCHOOL KID RICHARD'S BEEN MENTORING,

IS GETTING INTO TROUBLE AT SCHOOL,

AS SHOWN IN THIS SHOCKING, NEVER-BEFORE-BROADCAST VIDEO.

Young man: BROGAN, HIT HIM!

OH! OH!

BROGAN, AT OVER 6 FEET AND DRESSED ALL IN BLACK,

IS A PHYSICALLY IMPOSING PRESENCE.

HE REMAINS A MYSTERY, EVEN TO HIS FAMILY.

Young man: OH!

HE DIDN'T TELL PEOPLE HIS PROBLEMS.

OF COURSE HE NEVER WOULD. HE'S GOT THAT STRAIGHT FACE.

HE'S GOT A GREAT POKER FACE.

HE STILL HAD THIS KIND OF WALL AROUND HIM.

HE DIDN'T SEEM TO REALLY LIKE PEOPLE.

HE DIDN'T TRUST PEOPLE.

"YOU WHACK 'EM," IS WHAT HE USED TO SAY.

LIKE, LITERALLY, YOU JUST BEAT UP THE PERSON OR KILL THEM.

NOBLE COUNTY DETECTIVES

CONTINUE THEIR SEARCH FOR THE MAN WHO SHOT SCOTT DAVIS,

AND FIVE DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT,

THEY RECEIVE A MISSING PERSONS REPORT

THAT LIGHTS A FIRE UNDER THE INVESTIGATION.

HELLO.

MY BROTHER'S GONE MISSING.

A DISTRAUGHT WOMAN BY THE NAME OF DEBORAH BRUCE

HAS A DISTRESSINGLY FAMILIAR STORY TO TELL.

SHE STATED THAT HER BROTHER, DAVID PAULEY, HAD RESPONDED

TO AN AD ON CRAIGSLIST BACK IN OCTOBER,

AND THE LAST CONVERSATION SHE HAD WITH HIM

WAS THAT HE HAD TO GO MEET HIS EMPLOYERS

FOR BREAKFAST THE FOLLOWING MORNING.

THE SIMILARITIES WITH SCOTT DAVIS' STORY ARE ALARMING.

SAME CRAIGSLIST AD, SAME EMPLOYER,

SAME PHONE NUMBER.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THIS CASE IS,

WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM DAVID PAULEY.

WE'VE HEARD FROM SCOTT DAVIS.

I KNEW AT THAT POINT WE PROBABLY HAD A REAL PROBLEM.

AS THE LIST OF POTENTIAL VICTIMS GROWS,

DETECTIVES WILL SOON DISCOVER

THE SHOCKING CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CRAIGSLIST KILLER

AND MISSING CHAPLAIN RICHARD BEASLEY.

I GOT A GOOD CLOSE-UP OF YOU, RICH.

OH, GOOD.

AKRON, OHIO, 2004,

AND RICHARD BEASLEY PLAYS THE DOTING FATHER

AND PERFECT ROLE MODEL FOR DAUGHTER TONYA.

EVERYONE ALWAYS CALLED HIM

THE REAL-LIFE SANTA CLAUS

BECAUSE HE HAD THE LONG WHITE HAIR

AND THE LONG BEARD,

AND HE JUST BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY TO PEOPLE.

EVERYBODY'S LIVES THAT HE TOUCHED, HE MADE BETTER,

AND THERE WERE NO NEGATIVES.

BUT AFTER SIX YEARS AS AKRON'S GOOD SAMARITAN,

RICHARD HAS VANISHED.

THERE WAS NO CONTACT.

I HADN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT HIM, FROM HIM.

IT WAS STILL THIS EMPTY HOLE THAT HE HAD LEFT.

DOWN SOUTH IN NOBLE COUNTY,

MEN MATCHING RICHARD'S DESCRIPTION

ARE FALLING VICTIM TO A DEADLY CRAIGSLIST AD.

SCOTT DAVIS SURVIVED AN ATTEMPT ON HIS LIFE.

I'VE BEEN SHOT.

NOW DETECTIVES ARE SEARCHING

FOR ANOTHER POTENTIAL VICTIM.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. LOOK FOR DISTURBED SOIL.

ANYTHING THAT LOOKS OUT OF PLACE, OKAY?

ANOTHER DOWN-ON-HIS-LUCK MIDDLE-AGED MAN

HAS BEEN MISSING SINCE APPLYING FOR THE SAME FAKE JOB.

HIS NAME, DAVID PAULEY.

HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT.

PASS IT AROUND. EVERYONE HAVE A LOOK.

NOW, WE KNOW SCOTT DAVIS WAS LURED TO THIS REMOTE AREA

WHERE HE WAS SHOT.

AT THAT POINT, WE COULD ONLY ASSUME THAT DAVID PAULEY

PROBABLY WENT THROUGH A SIMILAR SITUATION,

BUT HE DIDN'T ESCAPE.

LET'S GET GOING. LET'S GO.

I PLANNED A SEARCH OF THE AREA NEAR WHERE SCOTT DAVIS WAS SHOT.

THIS INVOLVED LINING UP CADAVER DOGS,

ADDITIONAL SEARCH MEMBERS, ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATORS.

IT'S MOSTLY WOODED, VERY REMOTE.

IT WAS LIKE TRYING TO FIND A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.

WE HAD ONE OF THE CADAVER DOGS INDICATE ON AN AREA.

AND IN THE GRASS THEY FIND SOMETHING.

THE DOG ACTUALLY BEGAN TO DIG A LITTLE BIT,

AND, ULTIMATELY, WE LOCATED A BODY.

UPON EXCAVATING THE AREA AND EXHUMING THE BODY,

IT APPEARED TO ME THAT IT WAS A GUNSHOT WOUND TO THE HEAD.

THE BODY CARRIES NO I.D.,

BUT DETECTIVES ALREADY HAVE A STRONG IDEA

OF WHO THIS MAN IS.

YEAH. THIS SILVER CHAIN, THAT'S RIGHT.

I HAD TO MAKE A CALL TO DEBORAH BRUCE.

I ASKED HER ABOUT THIS BRACELET.

YEAH.

DEBORAH CONFIRMS THAT THE CHAIN IS HER BROTHER'S.

IT LOOKED LIKE WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO DAVID PAULEY

IS WHAT THEY HAD INTENDED TO HAPPEN TO SCOTT DAVIS,

THAT THIS WAS A SUCCESSFUL MURDER, EXECUTION, AND BURIAL.

I'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME TERRIBLE NEWS.

THE BODY OF DAVID PAULEY

WAS FOUND BURIED IN THE WOODS NEAR CALDWELL THIS MORNING.

THE 51-YEAR-OLD'S BEEN MISSING FOR THREE MONTHS

AFTER APPLYING FOR A FARM JOB ON CRAIGSLIST,

THE SAME JOB AD THAT LURED SCOTT DAVIS TO THE SAME WOODS

BEFORE HE WAS SHOT FIVE DAYS AGO.

IT BECAME VERY CLEAR AT THAT POINT THAT

WE WERE PROBABLY DEALING WITH A SERIAL KILLER.

AND INVESTIGATORS COULD BE

A STEP CLOSER TO IDENTIFYING HIM.

THEY NOW HAVE ACCESS TO THE FOOTAGE FROM THE SHONEY'S DINER

WHERE THE KILLER BROUGHT HIS VICTIMS BEFORE HE ATTACKED.

AND AROUND 9:45 A.M., SCOTT DAVIS ENTERS WITH JACK

AND HIS YOUNG ACCOMPLICE.

THE BEST PICTURE WE HAVE OF THEM

IS STANDING IN THE LOBBY AREA, WAITING TO BE SEATED.

I NOTICED IN THE PICTURE THAT THE OLDER GENTLEMAN WAS WEARING

A BLACK LEATHER JACKET WHICH WAS PRETTY SPECIFIC.

AND THEN THERE WAS A MUCH YOUNGER WHITE MALE ALSO.

WHILE DETECTIVE MACKIE HAS UNCOVERED THE FACES

OF THE SUSPECTS,

THE FBI HAVE MADE THEIR OWN VITAL BREAKTHROUGH.

THEY'VE TRACED THE LOCATION OF THE E-MAIL ADDRESS

USED TO CREATE THE CRAIGSLIST AD.

THE TWO MEN IN THE DINER CCTV SET UP THEIR DEADLY OPERATION

FROM A HOUSE 100 MILES NORTH...

...IN AKRON.

HELLO?

- YEAH? - GOOD DAY, SIR.

ARE YOU THE OWNER OF THESE PREMISES?

YEAH, I AM.

WE HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT FOR THE PREMISES.

WHAT THEY FIND THERE IS A MAN WHO SAYS

HE HAS BEEN RENTING ONE OF HIS ROOMS.

WHEN SHOWN A STILL OF JACK FROM THE CCTV FOOTAGE,

HE RECOGNIZES HIS TENANT.

YEAH, HE RENTS THAT ROOM OVER THERE.

BUT THE LANDLORD KNOWS HIM BY ANOTHER NAME.

UPON SEARCHING THE ROOM, THEY FIND, LIKE,

SOME PRESCRIPTION DRUGS,

DIFFERENT THINGS WITH THE NAME RALPH GEIGER.

THIS RALPH GEIGER IS NOT AT HOME,

BUT FINDING HIM IS NOW TOP PRIORITY.

SO IT DEFINITELY TOOK THE INVESTIGATION

TO A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL.

THE PACE WAS ALREADY PRETTY QUICK,

BUT WE GO EVEN FASTER NOW.

WITH THE HUNT ON FOR RALPH GEIGER

AND HIS YOUNG ACCOMPLICE,

DETECTIVE MACKIE HEADS NORTH TO AKRON.

THE FBI HAVE A NEW LEAD.

THE CELLPHONE USED TO CALL VICTIM SCOTT DAVIS

HAS BEEN TRACED TO A HIGH SCHOOL KID.

IS THIS YOU WITH SCOTT DAVIS DOWN AT SHONEY'S DINER?

THE YOUNG MAN IN THE CCTV STILL IS A MATCH FOR BROGAN RAFFERTY.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE WAS VERY ARROGANT.

IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HE KNEW HE DIDN'T HAVE TO TALK TO US

IF HE DIDN'T WANT TO.

- YOU DON'T KNOW? - MAYBE.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, LET ME KNOW.

UPON SEARCHING BROGAN'S HOUSE,

WE FIND MANY ITEMS THAT APPEAR TO BE ITEMS

THAT DAVID PAULEY HAD BROUGHT WITH HIM FROM VIRGINIA

WHEN HE CAME HERE.

- BROGAN? - IT'S NOTHING, DAD.

TO MICHAEL RAFFERTY'S SHOCK AND HORROR,

THE POLICE TAKE HIS SON INTO CUSTODY.

...DOWN TO THE STATION FOR A FEW WORDS

IN CONNECTION WITH A MURDER.

MURDER?

BROGAN, HE'S 16.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S BEEN ARRESTED FOR MURDER?

MY BROGAN?

THAT'S NOT TRUE."

BUT THE EVIDENCE GATHERED FROM HIS BEDROOM

TIES HIM TO THE VICTIMS.

WE LOCATED A SHOTGUN, A HANDGUN.

THESE WERE LOCATED IN BROGAN'S ROOM.

SOME OTHER ITEMS IN THERE, BUT IT APPEARED TO BE A KILLING KIT.

AND SCOTT DAVIS CONFIRMS THAT BROGAN RAFFERTY

IS THE KID WHO DROVE HIM TO THE WOODS.

THEY HAD ME LOOK AT PICTURES TO SEE, YOU KNOW,

WHO BROGAN WAS AND, YOU KNOW, POINT HIM OUT

TO MAKE SURE THEY HAD THE RIGHT KID,

AND I SAID, "YEAH. THAT'S HIM."

UPON BROGAN'S ARREST, AND THEN THE SUBSEQUENT INTERVIEW

THE NEXT DAY, YOU KNOW,

BROGAN ADMITS TO BEING INVOLVED

IN THE SHOOTING SCOTT DAVIS.

HE ADMITS TO BEING INVOLVED IN THE DEATH OF DAVID PAULEY.

WITH ONE MAN IN CUSTODY,

THE NET IS CLOSING IN ON THE CRAIGSLIST KILLERS,

AND RALPH GEIGER'S LANDLORD CONTACTS POLICE

WITH A VITAL NEW LEAD.

WE HAD A CALL FROM THIS HOMEOWNER SAYING, "HEY.

I RETURNED HOME A LITTLE BIT AGO

AND THERE'S A NOTE ON THE DOOR FROM MY RENTER SAYING,

'HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON? I HEARD THE COPS WERE HERE.'"

AND HE LEFT A CELLPHONE NUMBER.

YEP. CONFIRMED.

IT'S ALL THE FBI NEED TO PINPOINT THE EXACT LOCATION

OF WHO THEY THINK TO BE THE SECOND CRAIGSLIST KILLER.

- STOP MOVING! - GET DOWN! GET DOWN!

LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS!

IT WAS LIKE A SCENE OUT OF TELEVISION.

TWO OR THREE BLOCKS SHUT DOWN AND SWAT TEAMS EVERYWHERE.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER.

THE MYSTERY OF RICHARD BEASLEY'S DISAPPEARANCE

IS ABOUT TO BE UNRAVELED.

HANDS TO YOUR SIDE! DO IT NOW!

COPS HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH THE SECOND CRAIGSLIST KILLER.

YOU'RE RALPH GEIGER?

HE'S BEEN GOING BY THE NAME OF RALPH GEIGER,

BUT ON CAPTURE, THE NAME TURNS OUT TO BE A LIE.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER.

FOR TONYA BEASLEY,

THE WHEREABOUTS OF HER FATHER, RICHARD, IS A MYSTERY.

THE MIDDLE-AGED CHAPLAIN WHO FITS THE DESCRIPTION

OF THE CRAIGSLIST VICTIMS HAS BEEN MISSING FOR FOUR MONTHS,

BUT TONYA IS ABOUT TO DISCOVER THE TERRIBLE TRUTH

SURROUNDING HIS DISAPPEARANCE.

ARE YOU TONYA BEASLEY?

YEAH.

DETECTIVE MACKIE.

I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT RICHARD BEASLEY.

AT FIRST I WAS A LITTLE BIT TAKEN ABACK

BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHO THIS MAN WAS

OR WHY HE KNEW MY NAME,

BUT HE WAS THERE TO TALK ABOUT MY DAD.

WHEN LAST DID YOU SEE HIM?

I DON'T KNOW. WELL, I CAN'T REMEMBER.

YEAH. THAT'S MY DAD.

THE MAN KNOWN TO INVESTIGATORS AS RALPH GEIGER

IS NONE OTHER THAN RICHARD BEASLEY...

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR MURDER.

...THE REFORMED CONVICT WHO CONVINCED HIS DAUGHTER

HE WAS A CHANGED MAN

NEVER DID GIVE UP HIS LIFE OF CRIME.

THE HALFWAY HOUSE HE OPENED TO SHELTER THE VULNERABLE

WAS IN FACT A BROTHEL AND DRUG-DEALING OPERATION.

AND WHEN POLICE FOUND OUT,

RICHARD WENT ON THE RUN, ASSUMING THE NAME RALPH GEIGER

NOW HE'S IN CUSTODY FOR CRIMES FAR GREATER THAN DEALING DRUGS.

DID MY DAD KILL SOMEBODY?

YOU HAVE THIS INTUITION, AND I JUST KNEW.

I MEAN, IT WAS JUST A TOTAL COMPLETE SHOCK.

IT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE THAT SOMEONE THAT COULD BE SO NICE,

DONE SOMETHING SO HIDEOUS.

WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE MEMORIES, LIKE,

THAT WE DID HAVE OF DOING THINGS WITH THE CHURCH,

WHERE THINGS FINALLY STARTED TO FEEL NORMAL,

BUT THEN I REALIZE THAT ALL THOSE NORMAL THINGS

WERE A COVER FOR WHAT HE WAS REALLY DOING

AND I WAS JUST THE IDIOT WHO WAS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS.

I HAD NO IDEA.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE'S SO MUCH GOING THROUGH YOUR BRAIN

THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN PROCESS IT.

SO YOU START QUESTIONING ALL OF THE INTERACTIONS

THAT YOU'VE EVER HAD WITH HIM.

NOW IN POLICE CUSTODY,

RICHARD IS GRILLED BY DETECTIVE MACKIE

ABOUT HIS MEETING WITH VICTIM SCOTT DAVIS.

RICHARD CLAIMS HE'S INNOCENT, BUT THERE'S A WITNESS

WHO'S BEEN BY HIS SIDE FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS.

INVESTIGATORS OFFER RICHARD'S YOUNG ACCOMPLICE A DEAL.

IF BROGAN RAFFERTY TELLS EVERYTHING,

THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM WILL BE REDUCED.

AND DURING THE MURDER TRIAL,

HE TESTIFIES AGAINST HIS FRIEND AND MENTOR.

WAS THERE A POINT IN YOUR LIFE

WHEN YOUR OPINION OF RICHARD BEASLEY HAD CHANGED?

ABSOLUTELY.

AND WHEN WAS THAT?

THAT WAS THE MORNING THAT HE MURDERED A MAN IN FRONT OF ME.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

I FOUND OUT AFTERWARDS THAT HIS NAME WAS MR. RALPH GEIGER.

RALPH GEIGER WAS THE FIRST VICTIM

OF THE CRAIGSLIST KILLERS.

FUGITIVE RICH BEASLEY COULDN'T FACE THE PROSPECT

OF ANOTHER STINT IN JAIL,

SO HE DECIDED TO CHANGE HIS IDENTITY.

THEY HAD LOCATED THIS MAN, RALPH GEIGER.

RALPH HAD BEEN HOMELESS. HE WAS KIND OF DOWN ON HIS LUCK.

AND HE BORE A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO RICHARD BEASLEY.

AFTER RALPH GEIGER'S DEATH,

RICHARD BEASLEY BECAME RALPH GEIGER.

SHOULD I ADD IN THE HECTARES FOR HOW IT IS?

WITH THEIR FIRST MURDER A SUCCESS,

RICHARD AND BROGAN REPEAT THE SCAM.

ADVERTISING ON CRAIGSLIST,

THEIR FAKE JOB OFFER IS DESIGNED TO TRAP

DESPERATE MIDDLE-AGED MEN CARRYING ALL THEIR BELONGINGS

IN SEARCH OF A NEW LIFE.

THEY KILLED DAVID PAULEY AND SOLD HIS POSSESSIONS

FOR A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS.

AND THE FAILED ATTEMPT ON SCOTT DAVIS' LIFE PUSHED RICHARD

TO TAKE A FOURTH VICTIM.

TIMOTHY KERN WAS SHOT DEAD

JUST DAYS BEFORE THE KILLERS WERE ARRESTED.

AND THEY TAKE HIM OUT AND THEY EXECUTE HIM

AND BURY HIM IN A SHALLOW GRAVE FOR $5 AND A PACK OF CIGARETTES.

BROGAN RAFFERTY CLAIMS HIS ROLE WAS MOTIVATED

BY A CRIPPLING FEAR AND THAT RICHARD BEASLEY

THREATENED TO HARM BROGAN'S FAMILY IF HE DIDN'T PLAY ALONG.

BUT THE JURY DECIDED

THAT BROGAN WAS A WILLING PARTICIPANT IN THE CRIMES.

THE JURY FINDS YOU GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED MURDER.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU?

IN NOVEMBER OF 2012,

HE'S FOUND GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED MURDER

AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.

HE RECEIVES LIFE WITH NO PAROLE.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THOSE FAMILIES?

I'M SORRY.

I THINK THAT'S WHEN IT, LIKE, HIT

THAT HE WOULDN'T BE AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTIES.

HE WOULDN'T BE THERE WHEN MY KID WAS BORN.

HE WOULDN'T BE THERE AT MY WEDDING, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

FOR MASTERMINDING THE KILLINGS,

RICHARD BEASLEY RECEIVES THE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT.

DO UNANIMOUSLY FIND THAT THE SENTENCE OF DEATH

SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON RICHARD JAMES BEASLEY.

ANYBODY THAT COULD DO WHAT HE DID IS A MONSTER

WITH NO CONSCIOUS AND NO SOUL,

AND I DON'T BELIEVE

THAT THEY'VE FOUND EVERYBODY RICH BEASLEY'S KILLED.

I BELIEVE HE'S BEEN DOING IT SINCE HE WAS YOUNGER,

AND I HATE HIM. TOTALLY RAW HATRED FOR THE MAN.

IT'S JUST SO NORMAL. I'M NOT USED TO THAT WITH HIM.

THAT'S THE SAD PART.

THIS IS THE ONLY HAPPY THAT THERE WAS.

THIS IS LIKE HAVING A DAD THAT NEVER REALLY EXISTED,

BUT YOU'RE STILL STUCK WITH THOSE HAPPY MEMORIES.

THERE IS NO SYSTEM.

THERE'S NO BOOK TELLING YOU HOW TO HANDLE

IF YOUR DAD'S A SERIAL KILLER.

YOU LITERALLY JUST WAKE UP AND LIVE YOUR LIFE NORMALLY

AND HANDLE EVERYTHING AS IT COMES.
