Around Winston‐Salem suburbs,

people knew of a guy, John Lawson,

who named himself Pazuzu.

Jared wanted to know where his dad was.

I just told him that, you know,

he had gone away somewhere we hadn't heard from him.

I went to the sheriff's department with a

voice recording and told them what I knew.

I said, "You're gonna think I'm crazy, but I think

my son's father is buried in this guy's backyard."

We executed a search warrant,

but at that time, there was no evidence

that we were able to find.

So, she calls me and she said,

"I'm part of the family now."

This is some Charles Manson shit, you know.

And she said, "We murdered a guy.

We shot him in the head."

This is how I know that there is a dead body in the backyard.

Clemmons is a place in Winston‐Salem where

it's the name of the demon in The Exorcist.

What is the biggest, scariest thing? It's Satan.

It's the devil, el diablo, the fallen one,

Lucifer, Pazuzu.

I mean, these people believe in this stuff.

Lawson trolled pop culture and kind of

came up with this persona.

It's a little mixture of Manson,

a little 1980s heavy metal, you know, 666 type stuff.

And there you go. And then,

when 9/11 came, he put on a jihadi mask.

It was as if he was trying to be

what people were afraid of.

You know, it made it powerful.

And it seems like there were some young women

who were particularly susceptible to his persona.

Pazuzu dated a lot of girls,

He was the daddy she never had,

SEARCH TEAM: This is the cleanest room in the house.

SEAN: Cynthia's room may not have been the neatest and

cleanest room in Forsyth County,

but compared to the rest of the house,

it was immaculate.

♪

It is so hard to try to describe what it was like.

This is not, not normal.

You would be hard pressed to,

to be inside the house and not think that the person

who lived there was capable of about anything.

I actually need... Need some air.

Whoo!

I mean, it's, it's well, well...

well past condemning.

♪ (News Music) ♪

Two families finally know what happened to their

loved ones, gone without answers for five years.

The skeletal remains found in a Clemmons backyard

have been identified as Josh Wetzler and Tommy Welch.

♪

Tommy Dean Welch is a working‐class guy

in Winston‐Salem, semi‐employed,

semi‐educated, struggling, but spends time with his family.

He was walking to meet his brother,

and somewhere, he encounters John Lawson and Amber Burch.

And it's that fast (snaps) that Tommy Welch's life

and the life of all those around him, changes forever.

♪

When I heard that they had found Josh...

I was crying, just tears of relief and joy

that he was out of there.

You know, it was like the most evil dark place

you can imagine, and he was out, he'd been found.

But, it's not over at all. It doesn't feel over.

And in fact, it just really, a lot of questions

were created from that, rather than answered.

♪

The news media goes into overdrive with the gore and

the constant commentary about evil and Satan and

all the rest; that's just entertainment.

The gruesome details do not begin to answer

the real questions.

How can law enforcement in our community

let something like this go on?

How did we let this go on?

Clemmons is a wonderful place to grow up.

You're surrounded by church, you're surrounded by family.

Everyone's a conservative Christian,

everybody votes the same way,

they eat the same stuff...

But while they go about their business,

these ugly things, these tough things are

all bubbling under the surface.

And a guy like Pazuzu Algarad,

he becomes a local myth, maybe a local joke,

but nobody really pays attention to him.

Nobody realizes how serious it is,

until it's too late.

Algarad's tongue was split like a snake,

moving in different directions.

He picked up two prostitutes at two separate locations

before he killed and ate them.

When Johnny was eight years old,

she put him in a mental hospital.

The one that needs to be there is that woman,

the mama.

I think his mother ruined his life.

Jenna's parents let us move in with them and

it gives us a lot more money to, to get high.

I don't want to quit.

We end up having to do dirt bag research because

none of the authorities are talking.

And then we found out that the search warrants were sealed.

There was something in those search warrants that

law enforcement didn't want out.

That's what the whole neighborhood wants.

We just want the house gone.
