  59. 2:56you I have told so many people in my
  60. 2:58life um about part one of this case it
  61. 3:02really stuck with me and you know we
  62. 3:04cover a lot of cases and sometimes they
  63. 3:07can you know be in one ear and out the
  64. 3:09other because of how quickly we turn
  65. 3:11them around but this one is not like
  66. 3:13that it has really yeah thought about it
  67. 3:16a lot over the last few days like the
  68. 3:18last few weeks so are you telling me you
  69. 3:21gave away
  70. 3:25spoilers yes well okay but only to your

  77. 3:48anyway cuz but Dena does Dena does sorry
  78. 3:52Dena sorry for the spoilers I don't
  79. 3:54think that it got spoiled for her well
  80. 3:58in part one we left off off in late
  81. 4:011983 to early
  82. 4:031984 when Bobby was a serial rapist
  83. 4:06known as the classified ad rapist across
  84. 4:09South
  85. 4:10Florida I mean I
  86. 4:13don't yeah any
  87. 4:16questions need any Refreshers I mean I'm
  88. 4:19assuming you remember I do remember I
  89. 4:21don't need any Refreshers I do have
  90. 4:23questions but none of them you can
  91. 4:25answer okay such as how dare he yeah and
  92. 4:31can we can we castrate him it's a little
  93. 4:35late for that at this point ah well does
  94. 4:38he get castrated you can probably answer
  95. 4:40that no well worth a
  96. 4:43shot according to one of my sources he
  97. 4:46admitted in his confession that is to
  98. 4:48come that one of his victims reported
  99. 4:51the rape and he was nearly caught so
  100. 4:54instead of stopping and getting some
  101. 4:55help he made the conscious decision to
  102. 4:58end their lives from from that point
  103. 5:00on however do you remember his I guess
  104. 5:03you'd call it maybe hiso as the
  105. 5:05classified ad rapist like the scenario
  106. 5:08that he would do a refresh our memories
  107. 5:12okay so as the classified ad rapist he
  108. 5:14was known for answering classified ads
  109. 5:17that are often selling like furniture or
  110. 5:20something that would require him to go
  111. 5:23there to see it to the house right our
  112. 5:26worst nightmares yeah he would
  113. 5:28specifically talk Target women that were
  114. 5:31either single or home alone during the
  115. 5:34day like he'd be like oh I can come
  116. 5:35during the day
  117. 5:37right and then he would go to their
  118. 5:39homes rape them take
  119. 5:42off so unfortunately several of the
  120. 5:46murder victims the victims to come were
  121. 5:49picked up on a strip in the Tampa area
  122. 5:51known for prostitution that's that's
  123. 5:54that I mean that's why they call it
  124. 5:56trampa I've never heard that oh I'm so
  125. 5:59surpris how long have we been friends
  126. 6:01you've never heard me call it trampa
  127. 6:02that's
  128. 6:03crazy yeah uh it's it yes for this
  129. 6:06reason and also um for the sex
  130. 6:08trafficking
  131. 6:09unfortunately that I knew is horri well
  132. 6:12that's horrible in all of Florida but
  133. 6:13Tampa is a hot spot Tampa is a hot spot
  134. 6:16um but yeah we call it
  135. 6:18trampa so I'm letting you know that
  136. 6:21upfront because like I said in the
  137. 6:23beginning I want
  138. 6:25to focus on the victims as much as
  139. 6:28possible Right because of this fact
  140. 6:32there's not always a lot of details
  141. 6:34reported about who these women actually
  142. 6:37were you know as human beings right this
  143. 6:41is the
  144. 6:421980s it wasn't viewed as
  145. 6:45trafficking right it was just you're a
  146. 6:47prostitute right so it's unfortunate but
  147. 6:52that's yes you should do a minod about
  148. 6:56your time working with and what you
  149. 6:58learned
  150. 7:00yeah because I don't think it's as
  151. 7:02common knowledge as it should be oh it's
  152. 7:04definitely not because I didn't know I
  153. 7:06mean I knew a little bit but I've
  154. 7:07learned so much from you and yeah a lot
  155. 7:10of people think that sex traing just
  156. 7:13happens like you get kidnapped yeah or
  157. 7:16that only women from like other like
  158. 7:19women that I met that were in the
  159. 7:22program would have people after the fact
  160. 7:25like when they hear their story they' be
  161. 7:27like what you're you're
  162. 7:31American like they think that it only
  163. 7:33happens that only women from other
  164. 7:35countries are taken and forced into sex
  165. 7:40trafficking I don't want to make this
  166. 7:42about gen Z but I really want to make a
  167. 7:44Vine reference right now okay you're a
  168. 7:47lesbian I thought you were
  169. 7:49[Laughter]
  170. 7:53American yep that's where I'm at right
  171. 7:55now
  172. 7:57fair so yeah maybe someday we can can do
  173. 8:01that all right so here we go all
  174. 8:05righty in March of 1984 a young sex
  175. 8:09worker by the name of artist Wick went
  176. 8:12missing she was violently raped and
  177. 8:16strangled now she is not listed in all
  178. 8:20of my sources and even the ones that do
  179. 8:23mention her there's not a lot of details
  180. 8:26so I'm inclined to believe that they may
  181. 8:29just be attributing her to him mhm
  182. 8:34because it
  183. 8:36matched right his the rest of his right
  184. 8:39murders so I don't know but I felt I
  185. 8:42needed to at least mention her even
  186. 8:44though I don't have I literally have no
  187. 8:47details on her AB about where she came
  188. 8:49from or who she was as a person um but I
  189. 8:52wanted to say the name about a month
  190. 8:56later maybe less on April 5th 19 1984
  191. 9:00Bobby was arrested after attempting to
  192. 9:02abduct a woman from a shopping center by
  193. 9:05asking her for a ride he Charmed her
  194. 9:08with talk of her vintage jaguar and once
  195. 9:11in the car pulled a gun on her the woman
  196. 9:14wrecked the car in order to escape Bobby
  197. 9:17and he was later found that night
  198. 9:20arrested charged with aggravated assault
  199. 9:23and was eventually sentenced to 3 years
  200. 9:25probation in ordered to pay $1,500 in
  201. 9:28restitute
  202. 9:31lovely I mean just such a you know an
  203. 9:34even match for the crime
  204. 9:36committed yeah you can't can you hear my
  205. 9:39eye roll did that scare Bobby
  206. 9:43straight I think not no of course not in
  207. 9:48May of 1984 Lana long and I'm just going
  208. 9:52to say this that was her English name
  209. 9:55this is not her right given name I don't
  210. 9:58know how to pronounce her given name and
  211. 10:01most of the media calls her Lana along
  212. 10:04but I wanted to acknowledge that that
  213. 10:05was not her given name Lana was a
  214. 10:08college student who was a former dancer
  215. 10:10at a local strip club in Tampa that
  216. 10:13Bobby
  217. 10:14frequented she was walking down Nebraska
  218. 10:17Avenue when Bobby stopped to offer her a
  219. 10:20ride she accepted and after a short
  220. 10:23drive Bobby pulled a knife on her Lana
  221. 10:26fought back so he tied her up and drove
  222. 10:29to a more secluded area where he raped
  223. 10:32and strangled her her body was found
  224. 10:35nude face down with her hands bound
  225. 10:38behind her back on May 13th 1984 under
  226. 10:41an interstate overpass okay attacks
  227. 10:45quickly escalated after that with the
  228. 10:47next one taking place sometime on May
  229. 10:4926th or
  230. 10:5027th it was believed that 22-year-old
  231. 10:54Michelle Sims had just arrived in Tampa
  232. 10:57with friends it's not reported as to how
  233. 11:00Bobby lured her to his car but Michelle
  234. 11:04did have a record as a sex worker in the
  235. 11:06past okay once in his car Bobby
  236. 11:10violently beat and raped Michelle and
  237. 11:12then slashed her
  238. 11:14throat
  239. 11:16escalation Michelle's body was found
  240. 11:18nuded face down and bound under an i4
  241. 11:21overpass near Plant City okay I know
  242. 11:25where that is detectives were able to
  243. 11:28connect Lana and Michelle's murders when
  244. 11:32forensic investigators found the same
  245. 11:34red nylon fibers on both of their
  246. 11:38bodies right from the Magnum Magnum the
  247. 11:43car the car she has to be very specific
  248. 11:47the car if you listen to part one you
  249. 11:50didn't listen to part one you should
  250. 11:51what are you doing what are you doing
  251. 11:52here go back go listen to part one come
  252. 11:55on on June 24th
  253. 11:59the badly decomposing body of
  254. 12:0122-year-old Elizabeth lenbach was
  255. 12:05discovered in an Orange Grove near
  256. 12:06Brandon
  257. 12:07Florida she was last seen on June 8th
  258. 12:10walking just outside of her
  259. 12:13neighborhood Elizabeth was different
  260. 12:15than his other few victims and that she
  261. 12:18had no history as a sex worker but lived
  262. 12:21in a mobile home park near the Nebraska
  263. 12:24Avenue Strip where Bobby had previously
  264. 12:27picked up women she also was different
  265. 12:30in that she was found lying on her back
  266. 12:33and fully clothed oh that is different
  267. 12:37the only clue as to how she could have
  268. 12:39ended up with Bobby was that she was
  269. 12:42known for being a bit of a loner walking
  270. 12:44most places she went and often reading a
  271. 12:48book unaware of her surroundings
  272. 12:51okay so they didn't know if she was
  273. 12:55taken forcefully or if he lured her
  274. 12:58right then things were strangely quiet
  275. 13:01for a couple of months after that
  276. 13:04perhaps he had to focus on working more
  277. 13:07to pay that restitution or because the
  278. 13:11sheriff's department called a press
  279. 13:12conference and announced that they had
  280. 13:14found connections between the Lana long
  281. 13:18and Michelle Sims
  282. 13:20cases Cindy Bobby's ex-wife said in an
  283. 13:23interview that she and her children had
  284. 13:26been in regular contact with him
  285. 13:28throughout all of that time mhm and
  286. 13:31after the potential serial killer
  287. 13:33announcement was released in the news
  288. 13:36she recalls a specific conversation with
  289. 13:38him where she casually mentioned it to
  290. 13:40him and said quote you're always telling
  291. 13:43us that we need to be careful and look
  292. 13:46it's happening right at your front door
  293. 13:48to which he replied quote that's why I
  294. 13:51tell you girls you can never be too
  295. 13:53careful you never
  296. 13:56know it I mean it's it's horrific
  297. 13:59is that not Eerie though oh it it like
  298. 14:02yeah just ew I mean it just you can't
  299. 14:06trust
  300. 14:08anyone
  301. 14:09horrible then on September 7th 1984
  302. 14:12Vicky Elliott was nowhere to be found
  303. 14:15after failing to arrive for her
  304. 14:16overnight shift at the rata in coffee
  305. 14:20shop
  306. 14:22okay that was a mouthful Niche job a
  307. 14:26neighbor said that she had asked them
  308. 14:28for ride but by the time they got to her
  309. 14:31place to pick her up she was gone
  310. 14:33friends told police that she worked that
  311. 14:36shift because it paid 40 cents more per
  312. 14:38hour and the tips were better okay can
  313. 14:42you hear me rolling my eyes yep I have
  314. 14:46mixed feelings about that yes I suppose
  315. 14:49staying up all night you should get
  316. 14:52paid I'm not staying up all night unless
  317. 14:54I get paid more so yeah I mean that's
  318. 14:57fine I understand but it's sad that that
  319. 14:59she couldn't make a proper amount of
  320. 15:02money
  321. 15:03mhm at the regular time of day so she
  322. 15:06had to Dangerously walk to work at
  323. 15:10night in a not so great place
  324. 15:14MH anyway the friends also reported that
  325. 15:18she had recently been carrying scissors
  326. 15:20with her because she'd been getting
  327. 15:22harassed by men driving past her as she
  328. 15:24walked to
  329. 15:26work that's why she asked for ride but
  330. 15:30I'm assuming she left her apartment
  331. 15:32because she probably thought well I
  332. 15:34don't know if they're going to show up
  333. 15:36like if they were running a little bit
  334. 15:37late or something and she figured it's
  335. 15:39going to take me that long to walk there
  336. 15:43right the friends informed them that she
  337. 15:46changed her path that she walked because
  338. 15:48of the harassment from drivers so she
  339. 15:51began walking down a line of railroad
  340. 15:54tracks that were secluded
  341. 15:57instead w
  342. 15:59it's just so it's just so ominously
  343. 16:02creepy especially knowing why we're here
  344. 16:05you know
  345. 16:07yes the next victim was 18-year-old
  346. 16:10Chanel Williams who was last seen
  347. 16:12standing on Nebraska Avenue Strip on
  348. 16:15September
  349. 16:1730th it was reported that Chanel had
  350. 16:19moved to Tampa from Winter Haven after
  351. 16:22telling her parents she was living with
  352. 16:24friends but did in fact have a record as
  353. 16:27a sex worker her naked body was found on
  354. 16:31October 7th on the side of a road in
  355. 16:33Pasco
  356. 16:34County the cause of death was a gunshot
  357. 16:39wound to the head and neck okay that's
  358. 16:43different I don't want to say it but I
  359. 16:45want to say it because it's
  360. 16:48so ick okay you know how disgusted we
  361. 16:53were when we could tell that he was like
  362. 16:58nicer to Lisa McVey because of her dad
  363. 17:02and then he told her oh well tell your
  364. 17:05dad he's the reason yeah well this is
  365. 17:08just as ick because Chanel was his only
  366. 17:11black victim again I ask can we castrate
  367. 17:16him and so while I have no proof that we
  368. 17:21all know that's the reason for that I
  369. 17:26find it ick that
  370. 17:29the only victim that you shot instead of
  371. 17:32strangling I mean on one hand oh that's
  372. 17:35so horrible it don't think about it I
  373. 17:38mean but but we need to think about it
  374. 17:39and that's the thing is it it's it's an
  375. 17:42it's a a horrible reality especially for
  376. 17:46women of color is that they are so much
  377. 17:48more likely to be assaulted and
  378. 17:51killed yeah and it's just I just feel
  379. 17:55like there has to be something like what
  380. 17:57is it exactly psychologic speak know
  381. 18:00what it
  382. 18:01is strangling your
  383. 18:04victim close and personal
  384. 18:07intimate yes that's what I was thinking
  385. 18:10too so it sounds
  386. 18:13terrible but to be shot in the head is
  387. 18:16probably based on like graphic
  388. 18:18descriptions that I've heard about being
  389. 18:20shot in general especially shot like um
  390. 18:23the Heather Grossman story right she
  391. 18:25survived because it hit her in the spine
  392. 18:28mhm she didn't even feel it she wasn't
  393. 18:30in
  394. 18:31pain so I feel like on one hand being
  395. 18:35shot in the head is it probably a
  396. 18:38quicker less painful death than being
  397. 18:40strangled we can hope that's all we can
  398. 18:43hope you know but on the other hand you
  399. 18:45know that
  400. 18:47psychologically that was probably the
  401. 18:49reason for it is that it's less personal
  402. 18:52it's less intimate right I I I mean it
  403. 18:55just adds another layer to his
  404. 18:58heinousness
  405. 18:59of who he is as a person agreed but I'm
  406. 19:03glad that you acknowledged it by the way
  407. 19:05I thought about not but I just can't I
  408. 19:07just can't we have to we have to I mean
  409. 19:10we would yeah I just feel like I can't
  410. 19:13because because I did notice it and for
  411. 19:18any of our listeners that are people of
  412. 19:20color I have no doubt that they would
  413. 19:23notice it that if they don't notice it
  414. 19:25because obviously I'm not like I could
  415. 19:27go through that and not ever say what
  416. 19:32race or ethnicity anybody is but as soon
  417. 19:34as you look it up as soon as we post
  418. 19:37pictures of the victims right whatever
  419. 19:39you're going to notice it I mean I think
  420. 19:42it's important for us to acknowledge for
  421. 19:43a million reasons but especially when we
  422. 19:46work in such a delicate field as true
  423. 19:51crime where tons of minorities are
  424. 19:55regularly targeted it's important for us
  425. 19:58to even if that wasn't what happened
  426. 20:00here even if she wasn't targeted because
  427. 20:02she's a black woman no he was targeting
  428. 20:05women I still feel like it's important
  429. 20:08to acknowledge when stuff like this
  430. 20:09happens because I just feel like we have
  431. 20:12to especially when we notice it I think
  432. 20:14you're right on that front so ick ick
  433. 20:18big
  434. 20:19ick all right the next victim was
  435. 20:2428-year-old Karen D's
  436. 20:27friend okay
  437. 20:29she was last seen in the same area on
  438. 20:32Nebraska Avenue around 3:00 a.m. on
  439. 20:35October 14th
  440. 20:371984 ladies and gentlemen if you don't

  454. 21:16same as those found on Lana long and
  455. 21:19Michelle
  456. 21:21Sims so um can I ask a question yes had
  457. 21:26they increased police patrol of nebras
  458. 21:29street because um I don't know but they
  459. 21:33did get the FBI involved which I'll get
  460. 21:36to okay so well and they may not have
  461. 21:39necessarily known that they were taken
  462. 21:41off of Nebraska Street they just knew
  463. 21:43that's where they were seen last yeah
  464. 21:46and but still they should have if they
  465. 21:49didn't I can't imagine that they didn't

  467. 21:53the same time I can yes yeah you can and
  468. 21:58you can't and then you can and then you
  469. 22:01can't and then you and then you can't
  470. 22:04cuz this is true CRI and you can't you
  471. 22:06can't so on October 16th the Hillsboro
  472. 22:11County Sheriff's Department held another
  473. 22:13press conference letting the public know
  474. 22:15they were concerned of a pattern and
  475. 22:17have connected at least three of the
  476. 22:19recent murders to the same person you're
  477. 22:23yep Bobby's next
  478. 22:25victim was taken sometime around then in
  479. 22:29mid
  480. 22:30October Kimberly hops a 21-year-old
  481. 22:33known sex worker was last seen on the
  482. 22:35strip with a group of
  483. 22:37women it was reported that she had
  484. 22:40started hanging out on Nebraska Avenue
  485. 22:42in September but there's sadly nothing
  486. 22:46reported about her history okay like
  487. 22:49where she's from right
  488. 22:51Etc her body was found on Halloween of
  489. 22:551984 near a quiet stretch of Route 30
  490. 22:58one north of Tampa oh can you imagine
  491. 23:01finding a body on Halloween I I can't
  492. 23:04imagine finding a body
  493. 23:06ever true story true story I just like
  494. 23:10you just imagine it being like hallow oh
  495. 23:14oh so
  496. 23:15creepy again just ever on Halloween
  497. 23:19though I think the freaky part would be
  498. 23:21that you would question it you'd be like
  499. 23:23is it really really yeah is it really a
  500. 23:25dead body or somebody playing a prank
  501. 23:28well and it just I I would just be like
  502. 23:30is this the upside down am I in the
  503. 23:32Twilight Zone yeah
  504. 23:35spooky well I'm sure you're not going to
  505. 23:38be shocked to hear that Kimberly 2 had
  506. 23:41been raped and
  507. 23:43strangled unfortunately I'm not shocked
  508. 23:46yeah 18-year-old Virginia Johnson was
  509. 23:50the next victim to disappear from the
  510. 23:52Nebraska Avenue Strip sometime in late
  511. 23:56October she had a record for public
  512. 23:58intoxication and drug abuse but it's not
  513. 24:01reported whether she was a sex worker
  514. 24:04reports only state that she like
  515. 24:06frequented the area and specifically
  516. 24:08frequented a uh nearby strip club called
  517. 24:12The Sly Fox
  518. 24:14Lounge now as we discussed in part one
  519. 24:18Lisa McVey was abducted on November
  520. 24:213rd yes okay so this is where I have
  521. 24:25some overlap of things cuz everything's
  522. 24:27happening so fast I was just about to
  523. 24:29say like this is all really close
  524. 24:31together yeah from March to November
  525. 24:34that's it that's crazy
  526. 24:37crazy crazy it's
  527. 24:40crazy so Virginia's remains were found
  528. 24:44three days after Lisa McVey was abducted
  529. 24:50okay okay that would put us it November
  530. 24:536th and she was discovered by two women
  531. 24:57on a horse farm in a horse pasture in
  532. 25:00Pasco County notice I said remains yeah
  533. 25:05I was wait I was trying to W cuz if if
  534. 25:09you think about the timeline so like she
  535. 25:12went
  536. 25:13missing late October mid to late October
  537. 25:17yeah even she wasn't discovered until
  538. 25:19November 6 it's still hot in Florida
  539. 25:22it's still warm and she's in the middle
  540. 25:24of a pasture yeah it's it's hot I
  541. 25:27wouldn't even I wouldn't even say warm
  542. 25:28it's hot in Florida in late October and
  543. 25:31November yeah like you sweating on
  544. 25:34Halloween unfortunately she was not
  545. 25:37identified until later in
  546. 25:40November when her friends finally
  547. 25:43reported her
  548. 25:45missing after Bobby let Lisa McVey go on
  549. 25:49November 4th instead of laying low 6
  550. 25:53days later on November 10th mhm
  551. 25:5721-year-old k Swan
  552. 25:59disappeared much like Lana long she had
  553. 26:02been a dancer at a local strip club but
  554. 26:05had recently decided to make some
  555. 26:07changes in her life for the sake of her
  556. 26:09infant
  557. 26:10son Kim had just moved back to her
  558. 26:13parents' home and enrolled in a medical
  559. 26:15technician program she was last seen at
  560. 26:18the Bamboo Lounge a bar in a shopping
  561. 26:21plaza near her parents'
  562. 26:24neighborhood the next day Kim's body was
  563. 26:26found nude face down and bound like the
  564. 26:29earlier victims in a grassy area under
  565. 26:32an interstate overpass she too had been
  566. 26:36strangled I can't help but wonder if he
  567. 26:39knew her like he had seen her as a
  568. 26:43dancer because it's just but he had also
  569. 26:47just taken Lisa McVey who wasn't who
  570. 26:51wasn't so so I don't know if he just
  571. 26:55branched out or if I think it's cuz he's
  572. 26:59devolving a little bit here like his
  573. 27:02pattern with Lisa changed he let Lisa go
  574. 27:05yes his pattern with picking her out
  575. 27:07changed you know and everything has
  576. 27:09happened so
  577. 27:11fast
  578. 27:13yes November 14th it's announced that
  579. 27:16the sheriff's department had been
  580. 27:18working with the FBI on these cases and
  581. 27:21they had put together a task force and a
  582. 27:24team of police officers were staking out
  583. 27:27the North Tampa area like you said the
  584. 27:31thing is they're not just monitoring it
  585. 27:34at this point they also have the
  586. 27:37descriptions that Lisa McVey had given
  587. 27:40them yes and the car so specific what
  588. 27:44they didn't announce in that press
  589. 27:47release was that they had red
  590. 27:51fibers that were also found on Lisa oh
  591. 27:56good she had fibers on her panties or
  592. 28:00clothing or pantaloons if you will I
  593. 28:03will okay very good so now they know
  594. 28:09right they know who they're looking for
  595. 28:12pretty much yeah they don't have a name
  596. 28:14they have a profile though they have a
  597. 28:16profile they have the car they give it
  598. 28:18dispenser read give him 20
  599. 28:20minutes they knew they were looking for
  600. 28:23a red Dodge Magnum and thanks to Lisa's
  601. 28:25amazing skills at retracing the route
  602. 28:27she thought they took just before he let
  603. 28:30her go they actually even found the
  604. 28:34ATM oh that's
  605. 28:37good cross referencing the customers who
  606. 28:40used the ATM that day mhm with a list of
  607. 28:44Dodge Magnum owners in the area they
  608. 28:46were able to narrow it down oh so good
  609. 28:52two Robert Joe
  610. 28:55long but they didn't immediately like go
  611. 28:59to his house or well there has to be
  612. 29:01some strategy here there definitely was
  613. 29:04he's a dangerous man on November
  614. 29:0815th an officer on patrol notices a red
  615. 29:13Dodge Magnum matching the
  616. 29:15description it's spotted around 10:00
  617. 29:17a.m. so they stopped it under the
  618. 29:20pretense of an armed robbery that had
  619. 29:22just occurred nearby oh my
  620. 29:24goodness the officer confirmed his IDE
  621. 29:28in
  622. 29:29registration but Bobby is let go but
  623. 29:32placed
  624. 29:33under continuous
  625. 29:36surveillance while they worked on
  626. 29:38getting a search warrant for both his
  627. 29:40car and apartment I've got my eye on
  628. 29:44you always watching wasowski
  629. 29:49exactly so
  630. 29:52meanwhile somewhere in there like I said
  631. 29:55the timeline is everything's happening
  632. 29:57so fast are all at the same time so they
  633. 29:59got the confirmation that the red fibers
  634. 30:01on Lisa's panties were a match in
  635. 30:04fact the search comes through the
  636. 30:06warrant sorry the warrant comes through
  637. 30:10they search his
  638. 30:11apartment which also turned up evidence
  639. 30:14linking him to several of the crimes
  640. 30:16including Lisa's abduction because if
  641. 30:19you recall she put her fingerprints at
  642. 30:23everywhere he was arrested that same
  643. 30:26afternoon while leaving a movie
  644. 30:29theater and charged with abduction and
  645. 30:32sexual battery of Lisa
  646. 30:35McBay I want to know what movie he saw I
  647. 30:38know right like probably something pervy
  648. 30:42yeah or something stupid like shark NATO
  649. 30:46he looks like he would watch shark NATO
  650. 30:47I mean shark NATO wasn't around back
  651. 30:49then but but still something like that I
  652. 30:52don't know
  653. 30:54anyway Bobby cooperated with Detectives
  654. 30:58signed a Miranda waiver and gave a full
  655. 31:02confession to the crimes committed
  656. 31:03against Lisa oh yes
  657. 31:08okay but in what they
  658. 31:11believed was an attempt to save face he
  659. 31:15tries to play it off like he knew he was
  660. 31:17going to get caught he says that he knew
  661. 31:22he'd likely get caught because he could
  662. 31:24tell she was able to see out of the
  663. 31:26blindfold yeah I mean I knew I knew I'm
  664. 31:29not dumb like I
  665. 31:31knew but he let it happen because she
  666. 31:34seemed like a nice girl cuz out of the
  667. 31:37kindness of my heart after brutally
  668. 31:40assaulting and raping this this girl and
  669. 31:42you know yeah uh out of the kindness of
  670. 31:46my soul I knew that you know she seemed
  671. 31:48nice
  672. 31:50yeah I don't know why I'm given him this
  673. 31:52voice but it's working for me
  674. 31:55yes once they had his confession
  675. 31:58for the crimes against Lisa one of the
  676. 32:01detectives stepped out of the room to
  677. 32:02collect photos of the murder
  678. 32:05victims when he returned he asked Bobby
  679. 32:08if he had ever picked up prostitutes in
  680. 32:10the area to which Bobby responded I
  681. 32:13would prefer not to answer that so
  682. 32:16yes that's one of those questions it's
  683. 32:18just like you can't not answer it like
  684. 32:21if you don't answer we know the answer
  685. 32:25yeah you can't like that's not yeah
  686. 32:29that's it's like the yeah go ahead no
  687. 32:32it's okay it's like I don't have
  688. 32:37any I had something but it's not the
  689. 32:39same even in the
  690. 32:42slightest okay so they showed him the
  691. 32:45photos of the deceased women and Bobby
  692. 32:48supposedly said quote the complexion of
  693. 32:50things have sure changed since you came
  694. 32:53back into the room I think I might need
  695. 32:55an
  696. 32:56attorney okay
  697. 32:58okay I'm just shocked by his use of the
  698. 33:00word complexion that's not what that
  699. 33:03yeah you're wrong but okay so despite
  700. 33:07this
  701. 33:08statement the detectives proceeded with
  702. 33:11the
  703. 33:12interrogation well he didn't ask for an
  704. 33:14attorney is what they're going to say
  705. 33:15yep and because he had signed the waiver
  706. 33:18and they claimed that his use of I think
  707. 33:22I might was not a definitive request for
  708. 33:26one I don't know how that's going to
  709. 33:27hold up in court this Yep this would of
  710. 33:31course become a point of Defense during
  711. 33:33his trial and in his appeals so right I
  712. 33:39I mean but it didn't take long from what
  713. 33:42I can tell I wish I got that I had found
  714. 33:44the actual tape of his confession I did
  715. 33:47not but from what bit of the confession
  716. 33:50that or that
  717. 33:52portion was like played out in court
  718. 33:55documents it didn't take much for them
  719. 33:57to try it was like he that's all he said
  720. 34:00they asked like four questions they kept
  721. 34:02talking to him and they're like get real
  722. 34:05you know basically and then he just like
  723. 34:07confesses to stuff he didn't like say
  724. 34:10again no I think I might need an
  725. 34:12attorney from what the court documents
  726. 34:14say like he just said it the one time
  727. 34:16and then they were like no man really
  728. 34:19like tell us like we know you we know
  729. 34:21what you've done right you need to tell
  730. 34:24us I feel like yeah I gu and then he
  731. 34:26just confessed
  732. 34:28so on one hand yes the mention of
  733. 34:31attorney they should have stopped
  734. 34:33despite him signing the waiver cuz that
  735. 34:36was he signed the waiver because of Lisa
  736. 34:39and he confessed to Lisa right but he
  737. 34:41was not the complexion shifted the
  738. 34:44complexion shifted there's now
  739. 34:48acne so it need you know oh the dark
  740. 34:52circles I'm getting age
  741. 34:54spots yeah so there's a wart on this
  742. 34:59story so that becomes a bit of an issue
  743. 35:03which we will discuss in a bit the
  744. 35:07interrogation lasted a total of 6 hours
  745. 35:12and Bobby confess to nine murders
  746. 35:16between May and November so that's why I
  747. 35:20say that first one that I mentioned
  748. 35:23artist Wick happened in March he did not
  749. 35:26confess to that one
  750. 35:28I think that they just attribute it to
  751. 35:30him because I mean well if it looks like
  752. 35:33a duck and it walks like a duck and it
  753. 35:35talks like a duck it's Donald Trump it's
  754. 35:37Donald Trump I can't help myself I don't
  755. 35:41even remember what episode that we said
  756. 35:42that I don't remember the first one that
  757. 35:44I
  758. 35:45said in his confession he told
  759. 35:48detectives where they would find the
  760. 35:51body of Vicky
  761. 35:53Elliot who had not yet been discovered
  762. 35:57and sad sadly it's reported that when
  763. 35:59they did go to the place that he
  764. 36:01directed them to and found her the pair
  765. 36:04of scissors that she carried to work on
  766. 36:06her were found near her body or like

  775. 36:29the opportunity to make a phone
  776. 36:31call and he called Cindy hello Cindy his
  777. 36:37ex-wife Cindy says she knew something
  778. 36:40was wrong right away and asked him and
  779. 36:43he told her quote you know the
  780. 36:46girls for some reason she thought he
  781. 36:49meant some girls hurt or killed his
  782. 36:52girlfriend Barbara him and Barbara had
  783. 36:55actually broken up but I don't think
  784. 36:56Cindy knew that
  785. 36:58right but I can see why she's like what
  786. 37:01so she's like some girls hurt Barbara
  787. 37:05like what what are you and he said no I
  788. 37:08did it and she's like oh my God you

  790. 37:13killed Barbara and he said no I killed
  791. 37:15the girls in
  792. 37:16Tampa and she says she told him to stop
  793. 37:20that yeah because stop talking yeah well
  794. 37:23no she thought that he was joking cuz
  795. 37:25she says he always had a sick sense of
  796. 37:27humor her so she thought he was trying
  797. 37:29to be funny and she's like stop that's
  798. 37:31not funny stop talking and suddenly
  799. 37:34another voice was on the
  800. 37:37line identifying themselves as a
  801. 37:39detective with the sheriff's department
  802. 37:41and told her he's not kidding we have
  803. 37:44him in custody and he's being charged
  804. 37:46with multiple murders rapes and
  805. 37:49abduction what the actual crap do you
  806. 37:53say yeah I I I imagining being on the
  807. 37:58other end of that I and I never I I whoa
  808. 38:02what do
  809. 38:04you how do you what you let you process
  810. 38:06that what do you
  811. 38:08say I don't know I
  812. 38:11don't ah I don't know what I would even
  813. 38:15say like what did she say I I me what
  814. 38:18you I would I don't know what she said
  815. 38:22anything at all initially I would say
  816. 38:24leave me out of it but their
  817. 38:26conversation continued because she says
  818. 38:29that he then asked her to call his
  819. 38:31parents and tell them and their children
  820. 38:34to tell her
  821. 38:36children that he was killed in a car
  822. 38:40accident it's the 9s not the 1600s it's
  823. 38:43going to be on it's the 1980s oh the
  824. 38:451980s and serial killers through the 70s
  825. 38:49and 80s were just as much if not more so
  826. 38:51like in the news like everywhere this
  827. 38:54isn't gonna be a new situation I
  828. 38:58like Al also I think I figured out what
  829. 39:02I would have
  830. 39:04said I don't I don't know I don't know I
  831. 39:08don't know I don't know I I would be
  832. 39:10like why are you calling me and then he
  833. 39:13would say that and I would say no yeah I
  834. 39:17mean I think yeah I mean what did she
  835. 39:20say to him she of course said no yeah
  836. 39:22I'm going to be like you don't you have
  837. 39:24lost the privilege yeah to to anything
  838. 39:26like you don't get to say in anything
  839. 39:28yeah she said I'm not going to lie to my
  840. 39:30children for you I'm not going to lie to
  841. 39:32anybody for you so here's the kicker now
  842. 39:38if you recall how horrible his mother
  843. 39:40was yes and that a lot of
  844. 39:44psychologists believe in fact one expert
  845. 39:47in the court
  846. 39:49process testified that they believe that
  847. 39:52like in his head he was killing his
  848. 39:55mother over and over and over again
  849. 39:58so she call Cindy calls his parents to
  850. 40:02tell them and she says that Luella
  851. 40:05Bobby's mother began blaming her saying
  852. 40:10it was because she divorced
  853. 40:13him otherwise this never would have
  854. 40:17happened
  855. 40:19ma'am I look like a fish ma'am my mouth
  856. 40:23is on the floor I'm going to have to ask
  857. 40:25you to come back to reality
  858. 40:28it's never anybody's truly anybody's
  859. 40:31fault that somebody's a serial killer
  860. 40:34but if it is anybody else's fault other
  861. 40:36than him it's definitely not Cindy it's
  862. 40:40you the abused wife ex-wife is not to
  863. 40:43blame
  864. 40:45yeah yeah whoa the level of dulu in this
  865. 40:51family it's in the jeans
  866. 40:54like oh my god oh yeah oh that's
  867. 40:58horrific oh I think that would have been
  868. 41:01the LA can you
  869. 41:03imagine I am so so angry I'm so angry in
  870. 41:07this
  871. 41:08moment to watch Cindy's interviews
  872. 41:11you're like no freaking way like no I
  873. 41:15don't even need to see it I don't even
  874. 41:16need to see it but Cindy
  875. 41:20is a treasure have you ever known a
  876. 41:23Cindy that wasn't a treasure actually
  877. 41:25now that you mention it
  878. 41:28I don't know that I have right I think
  879. 41:31every Cindy I've ever met has been like
  880. 41:33delightful yeah
  881. 41:36I am so docked
  882. 41:41yeah well and it wasn't like Cindy cin
  883. 41:44said it's your fault and she was being
  884. 41:47she was just like he's been arrested no
  885. 41:49and she was like immediately like well
  886. 41:51it was oh I'm so and not only that but
  887. 41:54how is it they had been divorced for
  888. 41:56four years Cindy was remarried at this
  889. 41:59point she was remarried she it's not he
  890. 42:02was dating he she didn't have to call
  891. 42:05you and inform you of nothing and he
  892. 42:07would have probably never called you and
  893. 42:09just let you see it in the
  894. 42:11news you're lucky she called you that is
  895. 42:15so
  896. 42:17infuriating okay brace yourself we're on
  897. 42:21to the trials oh my gosh he faced three
  898. 42:26separate trials
  899. 42:28good put him through the ringer he was
  900. 42:31found guilty in Pasco County and
  901. 42:33sentenced to death by a unanimous jury
  902. 42:36you know for not shocked the death of
  903. 42:41Virginia Johnson yes he then made a plea
  904. 42:44agreement in Hillsboro County pleading
  905. 42:46guilty to eight counts of first-degree
  906. 42:48murder nine counts of kidnapping eight
  907. 42:51counts of sexual battery including those
  908. 42:54committed against Lisa McVey okay he
  909. 42:57basically agreed to be sentenced to life
  910. 43:00for every count mhm of those things
  911. 43:04except for the crimes against Michelle
  912. 43:08Sims okay they had a separate penalty
  913. 43:12proceeding for that case interesting I
  914. 43:17don't know exactly why other than
  915. 43:20Michelle Sims I believe was the one that
  916. 43:22he also slashed her
  917. 43:24throat they found the knife in his
  918. 43:26apartment okay so they had more evidence
  919. 43:31against him on her right so but you know
  920. 43:35I was going to say I'm glad that he
  921. 43:37accepted a plea for Lisa McVey so she
  922. 43:38didn't have to relive that in a
  923. 43:40courtroom yes yeah I don't think she
  924. 43:43ever had to testify in the
  925. 43:46courtroom so a couple of months
  926. 43:49after Bobby moved to withdraw the plea
  927. 43:53agreement because the only defense
  928. 43:56witness was
  929. 43:57unavailable the only expert defense
  930. 44:00witness was unavailable and because he
  931. 44:04had misunderstood his right to appeal
  932. 44:06his confessions
  933. 44:09admissibility
  934. 44:10okay so this is when I get frustrated
  935. 44:13can I interrupt you yeah
  936. 44:17why I and I know the answer I do know
  937. 44:20the
  938. 44:21answer the answer
  939. 44:23is why is he fighting it because youve
  940. 44:27already been sentenced and I know why
  941. 44:29I'm going to get there but I just want
  942. 44:30to rant about it first
  943. 44:32sure can you not just stop being a
  944. 44:37garbage bag of a human being and fight
  945. 44:40this and just let it and just accept it
  946. 44:42and die or go to jail for the rest of
  947. 44:44your life just just die you know what
  948. 44:49I'm saying like you've already been
  949. 44:50sentenced to life to death it's a
  950. 44:52capital
  951. 44:53case but no you have to as selfishly so
  952. 44:57that you can stay alive a little while
  953. 44:58longer and fight this mhm and it's
  954. 45:01ridiculous to
  955. 45:03me yeah it's just I think you'll notice
  956. 45:08that I don't know for sure but you may
  957. 45:13get the impression as did I that he
  958. 45:17doesn't really understand much of
  959. 45:19anything through this process okay and
  960. 45:22that he is just doing what his Council
  961. 45:27says and he switches Council and then
  962. 45:30every time you switch Council your new
  963. 45:32person's like your old person didn't do
  964. 45:34as but I'm going to do more for you
  965. 45:35right I think that's kind of which is
  966. 45:38their job why this goes the way that it
  967. 45:40goes I'm not 100% but that's kind of the
  968. 45:43impression that I got well that makes
  969. 45:45sense so you'll see that in just a
  970. 45:48second well and that's their job and
  971. 45:49they're doing you know what they they're
  972. 45:51doing a good job I'm not saying anything
  973. 45:53a then but yeah it's frustrating that he
  974. 45:57didn't understand I mean what defense
  975. 45:59attorney is going to take this case and
  976. 46:01be like I can fight it you know no
  977. 46:03they're going to be like take this play
  978. 46:05deal right period and they're not
  979. 46:08necessarily going
  980. 46:09to push extra hard to make sure that you
  981. 46:13fully understand I mean yes they're
  982. 46:16going to ask you if you understand
  983. 46:19but right you know I mean yeah even if
  984. 46:22you sit there with a confused look on
  985. 46:23your face and you as long as you say yes
  986. 46:26they're going to move on on because what
  987. 46:29is there to fight they have the evidence
  988. 46:31against you you
  989. 46:33confess yes you can push back on the
  990. 46:36confession but they also have other
  991. 46:39evidence at least in some of the
  992. 46:42cases right which can be a capital case
  993. 46:45regardless that right so they held a
  994. 46:49hearing they granted him a hearing on
  995. 46:52that motion yes in which he testified
  996. 46:55his defense Council had told him they'd
  997. 46:57have an expert witness who then did not
  998. 46:59attend the hearing the proceedings for
  999. 47:04Michelle Sims to basically give
  1000. 47:06mitigating factors because as you've
  1001. 47:09we've said before like at this point
  1002. 47:11it's not you're not
  1003. 47:13defending whether he did it or not
  1004. 47:16you're
  1005. 47:18defending should should he be put to
  1006. 47:21death
  1007. 47:23so that person did not show and he said
  1008. 47:27quote I have no faith in anything in
  1009. 47:29this now I have no faith in my Council I
  1010. 47:32have no faith in the doctors I don't
  1011. 47:35know what to do CU it was a doctor that
  1012. 47:38didn't show
  1013. 47:40up he I have a suggestion but he's not
  1014. 47:42going to like
  1015. 47:44it take your
  1016. 47:46[Laughter]
  1017. 47:47foot he went on to testify that he had
  1018. 47:51not been aware when he made the plea
  1019. 47:54deal that he would be waving all all his
  1020. 47:57appellant
  1021. 47:58rights I can see how somebody wouldn't
  1022. 48:01understand that yeah the judge
  1023. 48:04authorized him to make a decision on
  1024. 48:06whether he wished to continue the
  1025. 48:08process with the previously entered plea
  1026. 48:11of guilty or withdraw it and start over
  1027. 48:15that was nice yeah he then also granted
  1028. 48:18Bobby a 24-hour continuance to give him
  1029. 48:21time to think about
  1030. 48:22it that's really nice the next day
  1031. 48:27Bobby went back into
  1032. 48:29court and elected to keep his plea
  1033. 48:32deal just caused us tax
  1034. 48:36dollars the court made certain that he
  1035. 48:39understood that he was giving up his
  1036. 48:42right to appeal his
  1037. 48:44confession which he agreed he did right
  1038. 48:47and you know now it's being transcribed
  1039. 48:51in a courtroom you can't go back and say
  1040. 48:54nobody told me yep
  1041. 48:57yes the judge was very clear and we have
  1042. 48:59it in
  1043. 49:00writing they moved forward and
  1044. 49:02rescheduled the proceedings for Michelle
  1045. 49:05Sims at a later
  1046. 49:06date at the sentencing hearing the judge
  1047. 49:10acknowledged four aggravating factors
  1048. 49:12including the prior conviction of the
  1049. 49:14murder of Virginia Johnson the fact that
  1050. 49:17the murder was committed during a
  1051. 49:20kidnapping how heinous the murder was
  1052. 49:23yeah and that it was premeditated
  1053. 49:27he also acknowledged two mitigating
  1054. 49:29factors including Bobby's extreme mental
  1055. 49:32and emotional state as well as his
  1056. 49:35capacity to understand the weight of his
  1057. 49:37conduct still the judge addressed the
  1058. 49:40court stating the aggravating
  1059. 49:43circumstances far outweighed the two
  1060. 49:46mitigating circumstances and quote the
  1061. 49:49facts justifying the imposition of the
  1062. 49:52death penalty are so clear and
  1063. 49:54convincing that virtually no reason
  1064. 49:57person could differ with this conclusion
  1065. 49:59right yeah I
  1066. 50:01mean say it louder for the people in the
  1067. 50:03back you're good yeah the judge Then
  1068. 50:06followed the jury's 11 to1
  1069. 50:10recommendation and gave him a second
  1070. 50:12death sentence for the murder of
  1071. 50:14Michelle s then Bobby got new councel
  1072. 50:17for the appeals and he went on to appeal
  1073. 50:20the conviction for the murder of
  1074. 50:22Virginia
  1075. 50:23Johnson multiple times was so dumb I
  1076. 50:27mean it's not dumb that's the way our
  1077. 50:29court system works well you're never
  1078. 50:31going to believe it he was granted two
  1079. 50:33more trials for that you're kidding nope
  1080. 50:37the first time because of the
  1081. 50:38detective's choice to ignore his request
  1082. 50:40for an attorney and I understand that
  1083. 50:42and the second time because the
  1084. 50:44prosecution made the mistake of
  1085. 50:46mentioning his plea agreement in
  1086. 50:48Hillsboro County during the penalty phas
  1087. 50:51dang ah what a rookie mistake you can't
  1088. 50:55bring crap like that up
  1089. 50:57up when he appealed again the Florida
  1090. 51:00Supreme Court directed the trial judge
  1091. 51:02to acquit him of Virginia's murder
  1092. 51:05despite there being fiber and hair
  1093. 51:07evidence linking him to it we've talked
  1094. 51:10about it before and I will always
  1095. 51:11reiterate it it's incredibly sad when
  1096. 51:14decisions like this are made for the
  1097. 51:16fact that Virginia deserve justice just
  1098. 51:19as much as the other
  1099. 51:20victims unfortunately there comes a
  1100. 51:23point where perhaps too many valuable
  1101. 51:26resources have been spent to try and
  1102. 51:28Achieve Justice when really it's just on
  1103. 51:31paper he was still sentenced to death
  1104. 51:34for Michelle Sim's murder and as much as
  1105. 51:37the man probably deserved to die a
  1106. 51:39thousand deaths MH they can only kill
  1107. 51:41can only kill him once
  1108. 51:44yeah this is Florida and you will
  1109. 51:47fry Bobby went on to appeal his other
  1110. 51:50convictions all the way to the Florida
  1111. 51:52Supreme Court again claiming the trial
  1112. 51:54court AED by denying his motion to
  1113. 51:57vacate the plea agreement admitting the
  1114. 51:59confession and a knife found because of
  1115. 52:03the confession into the
  1116. 52:05proceedings denying his motion for a
  1117. 52:07continuance and imposing the death
  1118. 52:09penalty his argument wasn't that his
  1119. 52:12plea agreement was involuntary rather
  1120. 52:16that because his confessions
  1121. 52:18admissibility was in question they
  1122. 52:21should consider the plea agreement
  1123. 52:24invalid suck your own toe
  1124. 52:27they of course said no to turn to
  1125. 52:31overturning the convictions citing that
  1126. 52:34his plea of guilty is a confession as
  1127. 52:38well as an agreement for conviction and
  1128. 52:40it was documented that he made a
  1129. 52:43well-informed decision when he agreed to
  1130. 52:46the plea deal yeah he did not once but
  1131. 52:49twice he did
  1132. 52:51wise however they did acknowledge that
  1133. 52:53his conviction for Virginia Johnson's
  1134. 52:56murder being admitted into the penalty
  1135. 52:58phase was an issue as it had been
  1136. 53:04overturned this is
  1137. 53:06ridiculous so they affirmed all his
  1138. 53:09convictions and each of the sentences
  1139. 53:11except the death penalty which was
  1140. 53:15remanded for a new sentencing proceeding
  1141. 53:18in front of a new
  1142. 53:20jury at the second proceeding the jury
  1143. 53:24unanimously voted for the death penalty
  1144. 53:28it's like so this time you didn't even
  1145. 53:30get the one right this reminds me of a
  1146. 53:32time that somebody that did not like me
  1147. 53:34accused me of cheating on a spelling
  1148. 53:36test in high school and so the teacher
  1149. 53:38said hey somebody said you cheated can
  1150. 53:40you take it again in this class with no
  1151. 53:42phone like here take your phone and I
  1152. 53:44said sure and then I got a better score
  1153. 53:47yeah this is like that but bad I mean
  1154. 53:50depends on the way you look at it but I
  1155. 53:52just mean like
  1156. 53:53yeah Bobby's final attempts at the
  1157. 53:56appell process LED
  1158. 53:58nowhere his death sentence was confirmed
  1159. 54:01from that point on I believe the final
  1160. 54:04call was made in
  1161. 54:062013 and he was scheduled to be executed
  1162. 54:09by lethal injection in
  1163. 54:112019 he wasn't going to go easily
  1164. 54:15though he hasn't done anything easily so
  1165. 54:17far he had a new attorney he has made
  1166. 54:20this the most complicated situation ever
  1167. 54:23yes for Cons considering the fact that
  1168. 54:24he admitted to all of it like this is
  1169. 54:27ridiculous yes his new attorney at that
  1170. 54:31time challenged Florida's lethal
  1171. 54:33injection
  1172. 54:35procedure they claimed it was
  1173. 54:37unconstitutional under the eth amendment
  1174. 54:39because it would be cruel and unusual
  1175. 54:42for him oh my goodness Florida's
  1176. 54:46procedure was a three-step process in
  1177. 54:48which the first drug administered was
  1178. 54:51the anesthetic automate okay which the
  1179. 54:57attorney argued had been known for
  1180. 54:59inducing seizures and with Bobby having
  1181. 55:02epilepsy and traumatic brain injury
  1182. 55:05would be potentially cruel should he
  1183. 55:08have a reaction to it um
  1184. 55:14nothing so they requested that the
  1185. 55:16Florida Department of Corrections
  1186. 55:18instead use a drug called pentab
  1187. 55:20barbital which is used in other states
  1188. 55:23yeah I was going to say I know that's
  1189. 55:25used in other places the state presented
  1190. 55:28expert testimony that the data shows
  1191. 55:30atom aate has only been known to induce
  1192. 55:33seizures in small doses and the dose
  1193. 55:36given for lethal injection is very large
  1194. 55:40therefore not likely to do anything but
  1195. 55:43knock him out right you can't have a
  1196. 55:45seizure if you're asleep that's not true
  1197. 55:49I it's not true it's not true at all but
  1198. 55:52that's kind of like what they're I mean
  1199. 55:53they're not saying it but it's like
  1200. 55:54benad dril you can't be allergic if
  1201. 55:56you're
  1202. 55:57asleep you can't be you're not itchy
  1203. 56:00you're
  1204. 56:01retired the court denied the motion and
  1205. 56:04Bobby Joe long was finally executed on
  1206. 56:07May 23rd 2019 and was pronounced dead at
  1207. 56:116:55
  1208. 56:12p.m. several family members of the
  1209. 56:15victims were in attendance as well as
  1210. 56:17Lisa
  1211. 56:19McVey good for
  1212. 56:22her we will get to what that was like
  1213. 56:25for her in a minute
  1214. 56:26but first let's talk about what happened
  1215. 56:28with her after the abduction I would
  1216. 56:31love
  1217. 56:32to so going back to November 4th
  1218. 56:361984 it was about 4:30 a.m. when Bobby
  1219. 56:42left Lisa in that parking lot she ran
  1220. 56:45home startled by every car that drove
  1221. 56:48past but made her way to her
  1222. 56:50grandmother's house she beat on the door
  1223. 56:53hoping for safety and instead was
  1224. 56:56greeted by her grandmother's boyfriend
  1225. 56:59who grabbed her by the hair threw her to
  1226. 57:02the floor and beat her he then
  1227. 57:05interrogated her for nearly 5 hours
  1228. 57:08asking where she had been and why she
  1229. 57:11would cheat on
  1230. 57:15him yes I need you to keep going cuz I
  1231. 57:18can't process that her grandmother
  1232. 57:22eventually called the police and told
  1233. 57:24them not to worry about the missing girl
  1234. 57:26she's home now making up stories about
  1235. 57:29being
  1236. 57:30kidnapped please tell me the police were
  1237. 57:32like no we're still going to come yes
  1238. 57:35thankfully the police said they still
  1239. 57:37needed to
  1240. 57:39investigate Lisa says that when she was
  1241. 57:43first
  1242. 57:44interviewed shockingly the female
  1243. 57:47officer didn't believe her because she
  1244. 57:50was so calm about
  1245. 57:51it that's
  1246. 57:53frustrating it may also have been
  1247. 57:56because she was so shockingly detailed
  1248. 57:59as we said in part one like she really
  1249. 58:02was
  1250. 58:03incredible I don't know what the officer
  1251. 58:06said but Lisa says that at some point
  1252. 58:09she looked at her and said no bring in
  1253. 58:12someone more
  1254. 58:14intelligent love
  1255. 58:16it good I mean seriously you have to be
  1256. 58:19an advocate for yourself yeah and I hate
  1257. 58:23that that officer wasn't I hate that
  1258. 58:26yeah that's ridiculous but yes good so
  1259. 58:30they set up an interview with Sergeant
  1260. 58:32Larry Pinkerton who was in charge of sex
  1261. 58:36crimes Lisa told Sergeant Pinkerton the
  1262. 58:40same exact story and then she said she
  1263. 58:43overheard him telling the female
  1264. 58:45detective I believe her a couple of days
  1265. 58:49later Lisa saw the news report of
  1266. 58:51another woman's body being discovered
  1267. 58:53and something about it made her realize
  1268. 58:57that must be the same guy that took me
  1269. 59:00yeah I mean I can see that realization
  1270. 59:03hitting somebody sometimes you just know
  1271. 59:05things so she called Sergeant Pinkerton
  1272. 59:08and told him she needed to tell him more
  1273. 59:12during that interview he offered the
  1274. 59:14option for Lisa to be hypnotized to see
  1275. 59:17if there was anything she may be
  1276. 59:18blocking because of trauma Lisa said she
  1277. 59:21was willing but because she was 17 they
  1278. 59:24needed parental or Guardian consent can
  1279. 59:28I just say that uh Mr Pinkerton is a
  1280. 59:30very open-minded detective you're
  1281. 59:32definitely going to say that in a second
  1282. 59:35when her grandmother's boyfriend refused
  1283. 59:38Pinkerton thought his reaction was
  1284. 59:41unusual so he expressed as much to
  1285. 59:44Lisa Lisa started crying and ended up
  1286. 59:48telling him everything that had also
  1287. 59:51been going on at
  1288. 59:52home they immediately arrested the
  1289. 59:56grandmother's boyfriend good and placed
  1290. 59:58Lisa in a center for runaway teens where
  1291. 1:00:02the grandmother and the boyfriend
  1292. 1:00:03wouldn't be able to find her good
  1293. 1:00:06fortunately before she turned 18 and
  1294. 1:00:08would have been released from the teen
  1295. 1:00:10center they uh helped her look for
  1296. 1:00:14family members who were willing to help
  1297. 1:00:17her out M and her Aunt Carol and Uncle
  1298. 1:00:20Charlie took her in and according to
  1299. 1:00:22Lisa they were the only people who ever
  1300. 1:00:25showed her love
  1301. 1:00:27I know
  1302. 1:00:29right these are real tears I'm just
  1303. 1:00:31trying to be quiet she says once safe in
  1304. 1:00:34their home there was no holding her back
  1305. 1:00:37she worked various jobs throughout the
  1306. 1:00:39late 80s and '90s and then in 1995 she
  1307. 1:00:43was hired at the Hillsboro County Parks
  1308. 1:00:45and wreck department where at one point
  1309. 1:00:48she had to report a
  1310. 1:00:50Breakin and the sheriff's deputy who
  1311. 1:00:52took her statement asked if she had ever
  1312. 1:00:54considered being a cop because she
  1313. 1:00:56definitely had the right natural
  1314. 1:00:59skills she said she was always
  1315. 1:01:02interested but had never pursued it
  1316. 1:01:04because once she had become a mom she
  1317. 1:01:07didn't want to take the risk of such a
  1318. 1:01:08dangerous job four years later she was
  1319. 1:01:12able to take a position as a dispatcher
  1320. 1:01:15for Hillsboro County and also become a
  1321. 1:01:18reserve
  1322. 1:01:19Deputy she said it was a good way to
  1323. 1:01:22confirm that the job was a good fit for
  1324. 1:01:24her yeah and in 2004 after her daughter
  1325. 1:01:28was grown Lisa joined the police academy
  1326. 1:01:31and eventually became a school resource
  1327. 1:01:34officer for Hillsboro County which she
  1328. 1:01:36absolutely
  1329. 1:01:38loves she also speaks out about her
  1330. 1:01:41story to advocate for rape
  1331. 1:01:43survivors she did however rest easier
  1332. 1:01:47after Bobby's execution which as I said
  1333. 1:01:50she attended she told reporters
  1334. 1:01:52afterwards that she was looking forward
  1335. 1:01:55to getting a full night's sleep because
