- 2:51we're just going to jump right in are
- 2:53you ready I am I have to be honest with
- 2:56you I have told so many people in my
- 2:58life um about part one of this case it
- 3:02really stuck with me and you know we
- 3:04cover a lot of cases and sometimes they
- 3:07can you know be in one ear and out the
- 3:09other because of how quickly we turn
- 3:11them around but this one is not like
- 3:13that it has really yeah thought about it
- 3:16a lot over the last few days like the
- 3:18last few weeks so are you telling me you
- 3:21gave away
- 3:25spoilers yes well okay but only to your
- 3:30friends and family yes only to I think
- 3:34yeah you're not like putting it out
- 3:36there on Tik Tok no no no no no no only
- 3:39to people in my IRL in real life gotcha
- 3:43I told Savannah about it I told Nicholas
- 3:45about it well Savannah doesn't listen no
- 3:48anyway cuz but Dena does Dena does sorry
- 3:52Dena sorry for the spoilers I don't
- 3:54think that it got spoiled for her well
- 3:58in part one we left off off in late
- 4:011983 to early
- 4:031984 when Bobby was a serial rapist
- 4:06known as the classified ad rapist across
- 4:09South
- 4:10Florida I mean I
- 4:13don't yeah any
- 4:16questions need any Refreshers I mean I'm
- 4:19assuming you remember I do remember I
- 4:21don't need any Refreshers I do have
- 4:23questions but none of them you can
- 4:25answer okay such as how dare he yeah and
- 4:31can we can we castrate him it's a little
- 4:35late for that at this point ah well does
- 4:38he get castrated you can probably answer
- 4:40that no well worth a
- 4:43shot according to one of my sources he
- 4:46admitted in his confession that is to
- 4:48come that one of his victims reported
- 4:51the rape and he was nearly caught so
- 4:54instead of stopping and getting some
- 4:55help he made the conscious decision to
- 4:58end their lives from from that point
- 5:00on however do you remember his I guess
- 5:03you'd call it maybe hiso as the
- 5:05classified ad rapist like the scenario
- 5:08that he would do a refresh our memories
- 5:12okay so as the classified ad rapist he
- 5:14was known for answering classified ads
- 5:17that are often selling like furniture or
- 5:20something that would require him to go
- 5:23there to see it to the house right our
- 5:26worst nightmares yeah he would
- 5:28specifically talk Target women that were
- 5:31either single or home alone during the
- 5:34day like he'd be like oh I can come
- 5:35during the day
- 5:37right and then he would go to their
- 5:39homes rape them take
- 5:42off so unfortunately several of the
- 5:46murder victims the victims to come were
- 5:49picked up on a strip in the Tampa area
- 5:51known for prostitution that's that's
- 5:54that I mean that's why they call it
- 5:56trampa I've never heard that oh I'm so
- 5:59surpris how long have we been friends
- 6:01you've never heard me call it trampa
- 6:02that's
- 6:03crazy yeah uh it's it yes for this
- 6:06reason and also um for the sex
- 6:08trafficking
- 6:09unfortunately that I knew is horri well
- 6:12that's horrible in all of Florida but
- 6:13Tampa is a hot spot Tampa is a hot spot
- 6:16um but yeah we call it
- 6:18trampa so I'm letting you know that
- 6:21upfront because like I said in the
- 6:23beginning I want
- 6:25to focus on the victims as much as
- 6:28possible Right because of this fact
- 6:32there's not always a lot of details
- 6:34reported about who these women actually
- 6:37were you know as human beings right this
- 6:41is the
- 6:421980s it wasn't viewed as
- 6:45trafficking right it was just you're a
- 6:47prostitute right so it's unfortunate but
- 6:52that's yes you should do a minod about
- 6:56your time working with and what you
- 6:58learned
- 7:00yeah because I don't think it's as
- 7:02common knowledge as it should be oh it's
- 7:04definitely not because I didn't know I
- 7:06mean I knew a little bit but I've
- 7:07learned so much from you and yeah a lot
- 7:10of people think that sex traing just
- 7:13happens like you get kidnapped yeah or
- 7:16that only women from like other like
- 7:19women that I met that were in the
- 7:22program would have people after the fact
- 7:25like when they hear their story they' be
- 7:27like what you're you're
- 7:31American like they think that it only
- 7:33happens that only women from other
- 7:35countries are taken and forced into sex
- 7:40trafficking I don't want to make this
- 7:42about gen Z but I really want to make a
- 7:44Vine reference right now okay you're a
- 7:47lesbian I thought you were
- 7:49[Laughter]
- 7:53American yep that's where I'm at right
- 7:55now
- 7:57fair so yeah maybe someday we can can do
- 8:01that all right so here we go all
- 8:05righty in March of 1984 a young sex
- 8:09worker by the name of artist Wick went
- 8:12missing she was violently raped and
- 8:16strangled now she is not listed in all
- 8:20of my sources and even the ones that do
- 8:23mention her there's not a lot of details
- 8:26so I'm inclined to believe that they may
- 8:29just be attributing her to him mhm
- 8:34because it
- 8:36matched right his the rest of his right
- 8:39murders so I don't know but I felt I
- 8:42needed to at least mention her even
- 8:44though I don't have I literally have no
- 8:47details on her AB about where she came
- 8:49from or who she was as a person um but I
- 8:52wanted to say the name about a month
- 8:56later maybe less on April 5th 19 1984
- 9:00Bobby was arrested after attempting to
- 9:02abduct a woman from a shopping center by
- 9:05asking her for a ride he Charmed her
- 9:08with talk of her vintage jaguar and once
- 9:11in the car pulled a gun on her the woman
- 9:14wrecked the car in order to escape Bobby
- 9:17and he was later found that night
- 9:20arrested charged with aggravated assault
- 9:23and was eventually sentenced to 3 years
- 9:25probation in ordered to pay $1,500 in
- 9:28restitute
- 9:31lovely I mean just such a you know an
- 9:34even match for the crime
- 9:36committed yeah you can't can you hear my
- 9:39eye roll did that scare Bobby
- 9:43straight I think not no of course not in
- 9:48May of 1984 Lana long and I'm just going
- 9:52to say this that was her English name
- 9:55this is not her right given name I don't
- 9:58know how to pronounce her given name and
- 10:01most of the media calls her Lana along
- 10:04but I wanted to acknowledge that that
- 10:05was not her given name Lana was a
- 10:08college student who was a former dancer
- 10:10at a local strip club in Tampa that
- 10:13Bobby
- 10:14frequented she was walking down Nebraska
- 10:17Avenue when Bobby stopped to offer her a
- 10:20ride she accepted and after a short
- 10:23drive Bobby pulled a knife on her Lana
- 10:26fought back so he tied her up and drove
- 10:29to a more secluded area where he raped
- 10:32and strangled her her body was found
- 10:35nude face down with her hands bound
- 10:38behind her back on May 13th 1984 under
- 10:41an interstate overpass okay attacks
- 10:45quickly escalated after that with the
- 10:47next one taking place sometime on May
- 10:4926th or
- 10:5027th it was believed that 22-year-old
- 10:54Michelle Sims had just arrived in Tampa
- 10:57with friends it's not reported as to how
- 11:00Bobby lured her to his car but Michelle
- 11:04did have a record as a sex worker in the
- 11:06past okay once in his car Bobby
- 11:10violently beat and raped Michelle and
- 11:12then slashed her
- 11:14throat
- 11:16escalation Michelle's body was found
- 11:18nuded face down and bound under an i4
- 11:21overpass near Plant City okay I know
- 11:25where that is detectives were able to
- 11:28connect Lana and Michelle's murders when
- 11:32forensic investigators found the same
- 11:34red nylon fibers on both of their
- 11:38bodies right from the Magnum Magnum the
- 11:43car the car she has to be very specific
- 11:47the car if you listen to part one you
- 11:50didn't listen to part one you should
- 11:51what are you doing what are you doing
- 11:52here go back go listen to part one come
- 11:55on on June 24th
- 11:59the badly decomposing body of
- 12:0122-year-old Elizabeth lenbach was
- 12:05discovered in an Orange Grove near
- 12:06Brandon
- 12:07Florida she was last seen on June 8th
- 12:10walking just outside of her
- 12:13neighborhood Elizabeth was different
- 12:15than his other few victims and that she
- 12:18had no history as a sex worker but lived
- 12:21in a mobile home park near the Nebraska
- 12:24Avenue Strip where Bobby had previously
- 12:27picked up women she also was different
- 12:30in that she was found lying on her back
- 12:33and fully clothed oh that is different
- 12:37the only clue as to how she could have
- 12:39ended up with Bobby was that she was
- 12:42known for being a bit of a loner walking
- 12:44most places she went and often reading a
- 12:48book unaware of her surroundings
- 12:51okay so they didn't know if she was
- 12:55taken forcefully or if he lured her
- 12:58right then things were strangely quiet
- 13:01for a couple of months after that
- 13:04perhaps he had to focus on working more
- 13:07to pay that restitution or because the
- 13:11sheriff's department called a press
- 13:12conference and announced that they had
- 13:14found connections between the Lana long
- 13:18and Michelle Sims
- 13:20cases Cindy Bobby's ex-wife said in an
- 13:23interview that she and her children had
- 13:26been in regular contact with him
- 13:28throughout all of that time mhm and
- 13:31after the potential serial killer
- 13:33announcement was released in the news
- 13:36she recalls a specific conversation with
- 13:38him where she casually mentioned it to
- 13:40him and said quote you're always telling
- 13:43us that we need to be careful and look
- 13:46it's happening right at your front door
- 13:48to which he replied quote that's why I
- 13:51tell you girls you can never be too
- 13:53careful you never
- 13:56know it I mean it's it's horrific
- 13:59is that not Eerie though oh it it like
- 14:02yeah just ew I mean it just you can't
- 14:06trust
- 14:08anyone
- 14:09horrible then on September 7th 1984
- 14:12Vicky Elliott was nowhere to be found
- 14:15after failing to arrive for her
- 14:16overnight shift at the rata in coffee
- 14:20shop
- 14:22okay that was a mouthful Niche job a
- 14:26neighbor said that she had asked them
- 14:28for ride but by the time they got to her
- 14:31place to pick her up she was gone
- 14:33friends told police that she worked that
- 14:36shift because it paid 40 cents more per
- 14:38hour and the tips were better okay can
- 14:42you hear me rolling my eyes yep I have
- 14:46mixed feelings about that yes I suppose
- 14:49staying up all night you should get
- 14:52paid I'm not staying up all night unless
- 14:54I get paid more so yeah I mean that's
- 14:57fine I understand but it's sad that that
- 14:59she couldn't make a proper amount of
- 15:02money
- 15:03mhm at the regular time of day so she
- 15:06had to Dangerously walk to work at
- 15:10night in a not so great place
- 15:14MH anyway the friends also reported that
- 15:18she had recently been carrying scissors
- 15:20with her because she'd been getting
- 15:22harassed by men driving past her as she
- 15:24walked to
- 15:26work that's why she asked for ride but
- 15:30I'm assuming she left her apartment
- 15:32because she probably thought well I
- 15:34don't know if they're going to show up
- 15:36like if they were running a little bit
- 15:37late or something and she figured it's
- 15:39going to take me that long to walk there
- 15:43right the friends informed them that she
- 15:46changed her path that she walked because
- 15:48of the harassment from drivers so she
- 15:51began walking down a line of railroad
- 15:54tracks that were secluded
- 15:57instead w
- 15:59it's just so it's just so ominously
- 16:02creepy especially knowing why we're here
- 16:05you know
- 16:07yes the next victim was 18-year-old
- 16:10Chanel Williams who was last seen
- 16:12standing on Nebraska Avenue Strip on
- 16:15September
- 16:1730th it was reported that Chanel had
- 16:19moved to Tampa from Winter Haven after
- 16:22telling her parents she was living with
- 16:24friends but did in fact have a record as
- 16:27a sex worker her naked body was found on
- 16:31October 7th on the side of a road in
- 16:33Pasco
- 16:34County the cause of death was a gunshot
- 16:39wound to the head and neck okay that's
- 16:43different I don't want to say it but I
- 16:45want to say it because it's
- 16:48so ick okay you know how disgusted we
- 16:53were when we could tell that he was like
- 16:58nicer to Lisa McVey because of her dad
- 17:02and then he told her oh well tell your
- 17:05dad he's the reason yeah well this is
- 17:08just as ick because Chanel was his only
- 17:11black victim again I ask can we castrate
- 17:16him and so while I have no proof that we
- 17:21all know that's the reason for that I
- 17:26find it ick that
- 17:29the only victim that you shot instead of
- 17:32strangling I mean on one hand oh that's
- 17:35so horrible it don't think about it I
- 17:38mean but but we need to think about it
- 17:39and that's the thing is it it's it's an
- 17:42it's a a horrible reality especially for
- 17:46women of color is that they are so much
- 17:48more likely to be assaulted and
- 17:51killed yeah and it's just I just feel
- 17:55like there has to be something like what
- 17:57is it exactly psychologic speak know
- 18:00what it
- 18:01is strangling your
- 18:04victim close and personal
- 18:07intimate yes that's what I was thinking
- 18:10too so it sounds
- 18:13terrible but to be shot in the head is
- 18:16probably based on like graphic
- 18:18descriptions that I've heard about being
- 18:20shot in general especially shot like um
- 18:23the Heather Grossman story right she
- 18:25survived because it hit her in the spine
- 18:28mhm she didn't even feel it she wasn't
- 18:30in
- 18:31pain so I feel like on one hand being
- 18:35shot in the head is it probably a
- 18:38quicker less painful death than being
- 18:40strangled we can hope that's all we can
- 18:43hope you know but on the other hand you
- 18:45know that
- 18:47psychologically that was probably the
- 18:49reason for it is that it's less personal
- 18:52it's less intimate right I I I mean it
- 18:55just adds another layer to his
- 18:58heinousness
- 18:59of who he is as a person agreed but I'm
- 19:03glad that you acknowledged it by the way
- 19:05I thought about not but I just can't I
- 19:07just can't we have to we have to I mean
- 19:10we would yeah I just feel like I can't
- 19:13because because I did notice it and for
- 19:18any of our listeners that are people of
- 19:20color I have no doubt that they would
- 19:23notice it that if they don't notice it
- 19:25because obviously I'm not like I could
- 19:27go through that and not ever say what
- 19:32race or ethnicity anybody is but as soon
- 19:34as you look it up as soon as we post
- 19:37pictures of the victims right whatever
- 19:39you're going to notice it I mean I think
- 19:42it's important for us to acknowledge for
- 19:43a million reasons but especially when we
- 19:46work in such a delicate field as true
- 19:51crime where tons of minorities are
- 19:55regularly targeted it's important for us
- 19:58to even if that wasn't what happened
- 20:00here even if she wasn't targeted because
- 20:02she's a black woman no he was targeting
- 20:05women I still feel like it's important
- 20:08to acknowledge when stuff like this
- 20:09happens because I just feel like we have
- 20:12to especially when we notice it I think
- 20:14you're right on that front so ick ick
- 20:18big
- 20:19ick all right the next victim was
- 20:2428-year-old Karen D's
- 20:27friend okay
- 20:29she was last seen in the same area on
- 20:32Nebraska Avenue around 3:00 a.m. on
- 20:35October 14th
- 20:371984 ladies and gentlemen if you don't
- 20:40recall Bobby's birthday is October
- 20:4414th it was his 31st birthday oh my gosh
- 20:48and he's H he's so
- 20:50young Happy Birthday Bobby I hate it I
- 20:53hate
- 20:54him Karen's strangled and partially Ned
- 20:57body was found just 7 hours later in an
- 21:00Orange Grove Northeast of
- 21:03Tampa originally from St Petersburg
- 21:06Florida Karen's family reported that she
- 21:08had been suffering from drug
- 21:11addiction investigators found red fibers
- 21:14on Karen and confirmed they were the
- 21:16same as those found on Lana long and
- 21:19Michelle
- 21:21Sims so um can I ask a question yes had
- 21:26they increased police patrol of nebras
- 21:29street because um I don't know but they
- 21:33did get the FBI involved which I'll get
- 21:36to okay so well and they may not have
- 21:39necessarily known that they were taken
- 21:41off of Nebraska Street they just knew
- 21:43that's where they were seen last yeah
- 21:46and but still they should have if they
- 21:49didn't I can't imagine that they didn't
- 21:51I can't imagine that they didn't but at
- 21:53the same time I can yes yeah you can and
- 21:58you can't and then you can and then you
- 22:01can't and then you and then you can't
- 22:04cuz this is true CRI and you can't you
- 22:06can't so on October 16th the Hillsboro
- 22:11County Sheriff's Department held another
- 22:13press conference letting the public know
- 22:15they were concerned of a pattern and
- 22:17have connected at least three of the
- 22:19recent murders to the same person you're
- 22:23yep Bobby's next
- 22:25victim was taken sometime around then in
- 22:29mid
- 22:30October Kimberly hops a 21-year-old
- 22:33known sex worker was last seen on the
- 22:35strip with a group of
- 22:37women it was reported that she had
- 22:40started hanging out on Nebraska Avenue
- 22:42in September but there's sadly nothing
- 22:46reported about her history okay like
- 22:49where she's from right
- 22:51Etc her body was found on Halloween of
- 22:551984 near a quiet stretch of Route 30
- 22:58one north of Tampa oh can you imagine
- 23:01finding a body on Halloween I I can't
- 23:04imagine finding a body
- 23:06ever true story true story I just like
- 23:10you just imagine it being like hallow oh
- 23:14oh so
- 23:15creepy again just ever on Halloween
- 23:19though I think the freaky part would be
- 23:21that you would question it you'd be like
- 23:23is it really really yeah is it really a
- 23:25dead body or somebody playing a prank
- 23:28well and it just I I would just be like
- 23:30is this the upside down am I in the
- 23:32Twilight Zone yeah
- 23:35spooky well I'm sure you're not going to
- 23:38be shocked to hear that Kimberly 2 had
- 23:41been raped and
- 23:43strangled unfortunately I'm not shocked
- 23:46yeah 18-year-old Virginia Johnson was
- 23:50the next victim to disappear from the
- 23:52Nebraska Avenue Strip sometime in late
- 23:56October she had a record for public
- 23:58intoxication and drug abuse but it's not
- 24:01reported whether she was a sex worker
- 24:04reports only state that she like
- 24:06frequented the area and specifically
- 24:08frequented a uh nearby strip club called
- 24:12The Sly Fox
- 24:14Lounge now as we discussed in part one
- 24:18Lisa McVey was abducted on November
- 24:213rd yes okay so this is where I have
- 24:25some overlap of things cuz everything's
- 24:27happening so fast I was just about to
- 24:29say like this is all really close
- 24:31together yeah from March to November
- 24:34that's it that's crazy
- 24:37crazy crazy it's
- 24:40crazy so Virginia's remains were found
- 24:44three days after Lisa McVey was abducted
- 24:50okay okay that would put us it November
- 24:536th and she was discovered by two women
- 24:57on a horse farm in a horse pasture in
- 25:00Pasco County notice I said remains yeah
- 25:05I was wait I was trying to W cuz if if
- 25:09you think about the timeline so like she
- 25:12went
- 25:13missing late October mid to late October
- 25:17yeah even she wasn't discovered until
- 25:19November 6 it's still hot in Florida
- 25:22it's still warm and she's in the middle
- 25:24of a pasture yeah it's it's hot I
- 25:27wouldn't even I wouldn't even say warm
- 25:28it's hot in Florida in late October and
- 25:31November yeah like you sweating on
- 25:34Halloween unfortunately she was not
- 25:37identified until later in
- 25:40November when her friends finally
- 25:43reported her
- 25:45missing after Bobby let Lisa McVey go on
- 25:49November 4th instead of laying low 6
- 25:53days later on November 10th mhm
- 25:5721-year-old k Swan
- 25:59disappeared much like Lana long she had
- 26:02been a dancer at a local strip club but
- 26:05had recently decided to make some
- 26:07changes in her life for the sake of her
- 26:09infant
- 26:10son Kim had just moved back to her
- 26:13parents' home and enrolled in a medical
- 26:15technician program she was last seen at
- 26:18the Bamboo Lounge a bar in a shopping
- 26:21plaza near her parents'
- 26:24neighborhood the next day Kim's body was
- 26:26found nude face down and bound like the
- 26:29earlier victims in a grassy area under
- 26:32an interstate overpass she too had been
- 26:36strangled I can't help but wonder if he
- 26:39knew her like he had seen her as a
- 26:43dancer because it's just but he had also
- 26:47just taken Lisa McVey who wasn't who
- 26:51wasn't so so I don't know if he just
- 26:55branched out or if I think it's cuz he's
- 26:59devolving a little bit here like his
- 27:02pattern with Lisa changed he let Lisa go
- 27:05yes his pattern with picking her out
- 27:07changed you know and everything has
- 27:09happened so
- 27:11fast
- 27:13yes November 14th it's announced that
- 27:16the sheriff's department had been
- 27:18working with the FBI on these cases and
- 27:21they had put together a task force and a
- 27:24team of police officers were staking out
- 27:27the North Tampa area like you said the
- 27:31thing is they're not just monitoring it
- 27:34at this point they also have the
- 27:37descriptions that Lisa McVey had given
- 27:40them yes and the car so specific what
- 27:44they didn't announce in that press
- 27:47release was that they had red
- 27:51fibers that were also found on Lisa oh
- 27:56good she had fibers on her panties or
- 28:00clothing or pantaloons if you will I
- 28:03will okay very good so now they know
- 28:09right they know who they're looking for
- 28:12pretty much yeah they don't have a name
- 28:14they have a profile though they have a
- 28:16profile they have the car they give it
- 28:18dispenser read give him 20
- 28:20minutes they knew they were looking for
- 28:23a red Dodge Magnum and thanks to Lisa's
- 28:25amazing skills at retracing the route
- 28:27she thought they took just before he let
- 28:30her go they actually even found the
- 28:34ATM oh that's
- 28:37good cross referencing the customers who
- 28:40used the ATM that day mhm with a list of
- 28:44Dodge Magnum owners in the area they
- 28:46were able to narrow it down oh so good
- 28:52two Robert Joe
- 28:55long but they didn't immediately like go
- 28:59to his house or well there has to be
- 29:01some strategy here there definitely was
- 29:04he's a dangerous man on November
- 29:0815th an officer on patrol notices a red
- 29:13Dodge Magnum matching the
- 29:15description it's spotted around 10:00
- 29:17a.m. so they stopped it under the
- 29:20pretense of an armed robbery that had
- 29:22just occurred nearby oh my
- 29:24goodness the officer confirmed his IDE
- 29:28in
- 29:29registration but Bobby is let go but
- 29:32placed
- 29:33under continuous
- 29:36surveillance while they worked on
- 29:38getting a search warrant for both his
- 29:40car and apartment I've got my eye on
- 29:44you always watching wasowski
- 29:49exactly so
- 29:52meanwhile somewhere in there like I said
- 29:55the timeline is everything's happening
- 29:57so fast are all at the same time so they
- 29:59got the confirmation that the red fibers
- 30:01on Lisa's panties were a match in
- 30:04fact the search comes through the
- 30:06warrant sorry the warrant comes through
- 30:10they search his
- 30:11apartment which also turned up evidence
- 30:14linking him to several of the crimes
- 30:16including Lisa's abduction because if
- 30:19you recall she put her fingerprints at
- 30:23everywhere he was arrested that same
- 30:26afternoon while leaving a movie
- 30:29theater and charged with abduction and
- 30:32sexual battery of Lisa
- 30:35McBay I want to know what movie he saw I
- 30:38know right like probably something pervy
- 30:42yeah or something stupid like shark NATO
- 30:46he looks like he would watch shark NATO
- 30:47I mean shark NATO wasn't around back
- 30:49then but but still something like that I
- 30:52don't know
- 30:54anyway Bobby cooperated with Detectives
- 30:58signed a Miranda waiver and gave a full
- 31:02confession to the crimes committed
- 31:03against Lisa oh yes
- 31:08okay but in what they
- 31:11believed was an attempt to save face he
- 31:15tries to play it off like he knew he was
- 31:17going to get caught he says that he knew
- 31:22he'd likely get caught because he could
- 31:24tell she was able to see out of the
- 31:26blindfold yeah I mean I knew I knew I'm
- 31:29not dumb like I
- 31:31knew but he let it happen because she
- 31:34seemed like a nice girl cuz out of the
- 31:37kindness of my heart after brutally
- 31:40assaulting and raping this this girl and
- 31:42you know yeah uh out of the kindness of
- 31:46my soul I knew that you know she seemed
- 31:48nice
- 31:50yeah I don't know why I'm given him this
- 31:52voice but it's working for me
- 31:55yes once they had his confession
- 31:58for the crimes against Lisa one of the
- 32:01detectives stepped out of the room to
- 32:02collect photos of the murder
- 32:05victims when he returned he asked Bobby
- 32:08if he had ever picked up prostitutes in
- 32:10the area to which Bobby responded I
- 32:13would prefer not to answer that so
- 32:16yes that's one of those questions it's
- 32:18just like you can't not answer it like
- 32:21if you don't answer we know the answer
- 32:25yeah you can't like that's not yeah
- 32:29that's it's like the yeah go ahead no
- 32:32it's okay it's like I don't have
- 32:37any I had something but it's not the
- 32:39same even in the
- 32:42slightest okay so they showed him the
- 32:45photos of the deceased women and Bobby
- 32:48supposedly said quote the complexion of
- 32:50things have sure changed since you came
- 32:53back into the room I think I might need
- 32:55an
- 32:56attorney okay
- 32:58okay I'm just shocked by his use of the
- 33:00word complexion that's not what that
- 33:03yeah you're wrong but okay so despite
- 33:07this
- 33:08statement the detectives proceeded with
- 33:11the
- 33:12interrogation well he didn't ask for an
- 33:14attorney is what they're going to say
- 33:15yep and because he had signed the waiver
- 33:18and they claimed that his use of I think
- 33:22I might was not a definitive request for
- 33:26one I don't know how that's going to
- 33:27hold up in court this Yep this would of
- 33:31course become a point of Defense during
- 33:33his trial and in his appeals so right I
- 33:39I mean but it didn't take long from what
- 33:42I can tell I wish I got that I had found
- 33:44the actual tape of his confession I did
- 33:47not but from what bit of the confession
- 33:50that or that
- 33:52portion was like played out in court
- 33:55documents it didn't take much for them
- 33:57to try it was like he that's all he said
- 34:00they asked like four questions they kept
- 34:02talking to him and they're like get real
- 34:05you know basically and then he just like
- 34:07confesses to stuff he didn't like say
- 34:10again no I think I might need an
- 34:12attorney from what the court documents
- 34:14say like he just said it the one time
- 34:16and then they were like no man really
- 34:19like tell us like we know you we know
- 34:21what you've done right you need to tell
- 34:24us I feel like yeah I gu and then he
- 34:26just confessed
- 34:28so on one hand yes the mention of
- 34:31attorney they should have stopped
- 34:33despite him signing the waiver cuz that
- 34:36was he signed the waiver because of Lisa
- 34:39and he confessed to Lisa right but he
- 34:41was not the complexion shifted the
- 34:44complexion shifted there's now
- 34:48acne so it need you know oh the dark
- 34:52circles I'm getting age
- 34:54spots yeah so there's a wart on this
- 34:59story so that becomes a bit of an issue
- 35:03which we will discuss in a bit the
- 35:07interrogation lasted a total of 6 hours
- 35:12and Bobby confess to nine murders
- 35:16between May and November so that's why I
- 35:20say that first one that I mentioned
- 35:23artist Wick happened in March he did not
- 35:26confess to that one
- 35:28I think that they just attribute it to
- 35:30him because I mean well if it looks like
- 35:33a duck and it walks like a duck and it
- 35:35talks like a duck it's Donald Trump it's
- 35:37Donald Trump I can't help myself I don't
- 35:41even remember what episode that we said
- 35:42that I don't remember the first one that
- 35:44I
- 35:45said in his confession he told
- 35:48detectives where they would find the
- 35:51body of Vicky
- 35:53Elliot who had not yet been discovered
- 35:57and sad sadly it's reported that when
- 35:59they did go to the place that he
- 36:01directed them to and found her the pair
- 36:04of scissors that she carried to work on
- 36:06her were found near her body or like
- 36:09right next to her
- 36:11body I don't like you very much I'm
- 36:14sorry telling me that I also you know
- 36:17but that's misplaced
- 36:18anger I acknowledge that don't take your
- 36:21Bobby anger out on me I am angry at
- 36:24Bobby
- 36:25but after the inter ation he finally had
- 36:29the opportunity to make a phone
- 36:31call and he called Cindy hello Cindy his
- 36:37ex-wife Cindy says she knew something
- 36:40was wrong right away and asked him and
- 36:43he told her quote you know the
- 36:46girls for some reason she thought he
- 36:49meant some girls hurt or killed his
- 36:52girlfriend Barbara him and Barbara had
- 36:55actually broken up but I don't think
- 36:56Cindy knew that
- 36:58right but I can see why she's like what
- 37:01so she's like some girls hurt Barbara
- 37:05like what what are you and he said no I
- 37:08did it and she's like oh my God you
- 37:11killed Barbara I was going to say you
- 37:13killed Barbara and he said no I killed
- 37:15the girls in
- 37:16Tampa and she says she told him to stop
- 37:20that yeah because stop talking yeah well
- 37:23no she thought that he was joking cuz
- 37:25she says he always had a sick sense of
- 37:27humor her so she thought he was trying
- 37:29to be funny and she's like stop that's
- 37:31not funny stop talking and suddenly
- 37:34another voice was on the
- 37:37line identifying themselves as a
- 37:39detective with the sheriff's department
- 37:41and told her he's not kidding we have
- 37:44him in custody and he's being charged
- 37:46with multiple murders rapes and
- 37:49abduction what the actual crap do you
- 37:53say yeah I I I imagining being on the
- 37:58other end of that I and I never I I whoa
- 38:02what do
- 38:04you how do you what you let you process
- 38:06that what do you
- 38:08say I don't know I
- 38:11don't ah I don't know what I would even
- 38:15say like what did she say I I me what
- 38:18you I would I don't know what she said
- 38:22anything at all initially I would say
- 38:24leave me out of it but their
- 38:26conversation continued because she says
- 38:29that he then asked her to call his
- 38:31parents and tell them and their children
- 38:34to tell her
- 38:36children that he was killed in a car
- 38:40accident it's the 9s not the 1600s it's
- 38:43going to be on it's the 1980s oh the
- 38:451980s and serial killers through the 70s
- 38:49and 80s were just as much if not more so
- 38:51like in the news like everywhere this
- 38:54isn't gonna be a new situation I
- 38:58like Al also I think I figured out what
- 39:02I would have
- 39:04said I don't I don't know I don't know I
- 39:08don't know I don't know I I would be
- 39:10like why are you calling me and then he
- 39:13would say that and I would say no yeah I
- 39:17mean I think yeah I mean what did she
- 39:20say to him she of course said no yeah
- 39:22I'm going to be like you don't you have
- 39:24lost the privilege yeah to to anything
- 39:26like you don't get to say in anything
- 39:28yeah she said I'm not going to lie to my
- 39:30children for you I'm not going to lie to
- 39:32anybody for you so here's the kicker now
- 39:38if you recall how horrible his mother
- 39:40was yes and that a lot of
- 39:44psychologists believe in fact one expert
- 39:47in the court
- 39:49process testified that they believe that
- 39:52like in his head he was killing his
- 39:55mother over and over and over again
- 39:58so she call Cindy calls his parents to
- 40:02tell them and she says that Luella
- 40:05Bobby's mother began blaming her saying
- 40:10it was because she divorced
- 40:13him otherwise this never would have
- 40:17happened
- 40:19ma'am I look like a fish ma'am my mouth
- 40:23is on the floor I'm going to have to ask
- 40:25you to come back to reality
- 40:28it's never anybody's truly anybody's
- 40:31fault that somebody's a serial killer
- 40:34but if it is anybody else's fault other
- 40:36than him it's definitely not Cindy it's
- 40:40you the abused wife ex-wife is not to
- 40:43blame
- 40:45yeah yeah whoa the level of dulu in this
- 40:51family it's in the jeans
- 40:54like oh my god oh yeah oh that's
- 40:58horrific oh I think that would have been
- 41:01the LA can you
- 41:03imagine I am so so angry I'm so angry in
- 41:07this
- 41:08moment to watch Cindy's interviews
- 41:11you're like no freaking way like no I
- 41:15don't even need to see it I don't even
- 41:16need to see it but Cindy
- 41:20is a treasure have you ever known a
- 41:23Cindy that wasn't a treasure actually
- 41:25now that you mention it
- 41:28I don't know that I have right I think
- 41:31every Cindy I've ever met has been like
- 41:33delightful yeah
- 41:36I am so docked
- 41:41yeah well and it wasn't like Cindy cin
- 41:44said it's your fault and she was being
- 41:47she was just like he's been arrested no
- 41:49and she was like immediately like well
- 41:51it was oh I'm so and not only that but
- 41:54how is it they had been divorced for
- 41:56four years Cindy was remarried at this
- 41:59point she was remarried she it's not he
- 42:02was dating he she didn't have to call
- 42:05you and inform you of nothing and he
- 42:07would have probably never called you and
- 42:09just let you see it in the
- 42:11news you're lucky she called you that is
- 42:15so
- 42:17infuriating okay brace yourself we're on
- 42:21to the trials oh my gosh he faced three
- 42:26separate trials
- 42:28good put him through the ringer he was
- 42:31found guilty in Pasco County and
- 42:33sentenced to death by a unanimous jury
- 42:36you know for not shocked the death of
- 42:41Virginia Johnson yes he then made a plea
- 42:44agreement in Hillsboro County pleading
- 42:46guilty to eight counts of first-degree
- 42:48murder nine counts of kidnapping eight
- 42:51counts of sexual battery including those
- 42:54committed against Lisa McVey okay he
- 42:57basically agreed to be sentenced to life
- 43:00for every count mhm of those things
- 43:04except for the crimes against Michelle
- 43:08Sims okay they had a separate penalty
- 43:12proceeding for that case interesting I
- 43:17don't know exactly why other than
- 43:20Michelle Sims I believe was the one that
- 43:22he also slashed her
- 43:24throat they found the knife in his
- 43:26apartment okay so they had more evidence
- 43:31against him on her right so but you know
- 43:35I was going to say I'm glad that he
- 43:37accepted a plea for Lisa McVey so she
- 43:38didn't have to relive that in a
- 43:40courtroom yes yeah I don't think she
- 43:43ever had to testify in the
- 43:46courtroom so a couple of months
- 43:49after Bobby moved to withdraw the plea
- 43:53agreement because the only defense
- 43:56witness was
- 43:57unavailable the only expert defense
- 44:00witness was unavailable and because he
- 44:04had misunderstood his right to appeal
- 44:06his confessions
- 44:09admissibility
- 44:10okay so this is when I get frustrated
- 44:13can I interrupt you yeah
- 44:17why I and I know the answer I do know
- 44:20the
- 44:21answer the answer
- 44:23is why is he fighting it because youve
- 44:27already been sentenced and I know why
- 44:29I'm going to get there but I just want
- 44:30to rant about it first
- 44:32sure can you not just stop being a
- 44:37garbage bag of a human being and fight
- 44:40this and just let it and just accept it
- 44:42and die or go to jail for the rest of
- 44:44your life just just die you know what
- 44:49I'm saying like you've already been
- 44:50sentenced to life to death it's a
- 44:52capital
- 44:53case but no you have to as selfishly so
- 44:57that you can stay alive a little while
- 44:58longer and fight this mhm and it's
- 45:01ridiculous to
- 45:03me yeah it's just I think you'll notice
- 45:08that I don't know for sure but you may
- 45:13get the impression as did I that he
- 45:17doesn't really understand much of
- 45:19anything through this process okay and
- 45:22that he is just doing what his Council
- 45:27says and he switches Council and then
- 45:30every time you switch Council your new
- 45:32person's like your old person didn't do
- 45:34as but I'm going to do more for you
- 45:35right I think that's kind of which is
- 45:38their job why this goes the way that it
- 45:40goes I'm not 100% but that's kind of the
- 45:43impression that I got well that makes
- 45:45sense so you'll see that in just a
- 45:48second well and that's their job and
- 45:49they're doing you know what they they're
- 45:51doing a good job I'm not saying anything
- 45:53a then but yeah it's frustrating that he
- 45:57didn't understand I mean what defense
- 45:59attorney is going to take this case and
- 46:01be like I can fight it you know no
- 46:03they're going to be like take this play
- 46:05deal right period and they're not
- 46:08necessarily going
- 46:09to push extra hard to make sure that you
- 46:13fully understand I mean yes they're
- 46:16going to ask you if you understand
- 46:19but right you know I mean yeah even if
- 46:22you sit there with a confused look on
- 46:23your face and you as long as you say yes
- 46:26they're going to move on on because what
- 46:29is there to fight they have the evidence
- 46:31against you you
- 46:33confess yes you can push back on the
- 46:36confession but they also have other
- 46:39evidence at least in some of the
- 46:42cases right which can be a capital case
- 46:45regardless that right so they held a
- 46:49hearing they granted him a hearing on
- 46:52that motion yes in which he testified
- 46:55his defense Council had told him they'd
- 46:57have an expert witness who then did not
- 46:59attend the hearing the proceedings for
- 47:04Michelle Sims to basically give
- 47:06mitigating factors because as you've
- 47:09we've said before like at this point
- 47:11it's not you're not
- 47:13defending whether he did it or not
- 47:16you're
- 47:18defending should should he be put to
- 47:21death
- 47:23so that person did not show and he said
- 47:27quote I have no faith in anything in
- 47:29this now I have no faith in my Council I
- 47:32have no faith in the doctors I don't
- 47:35know what to do CU it was a doctor that
- 47:38didn't show
- 47:40up he I have a suggestion but he's not
- 47:42going to like
- 47:44it take your
- 47:46[Laughter]
- 47:47foot he went on to testify that he had
- 47:51not been aware when he made the plea
- 47:54deal that he would be waving all all his
- 47:57appellant
- 47:58rights I can see how somebody wouldn't
- 48:01understand that yeah the judge
- 48:04authorized him to make a decision on
- 48:06whether he wished to continue the
- 48:08process with the previously entered plea
- 48:11of guilty or withdraw it and start over
- 48:15that was nice yeah he then also granted
- 48:18Bobby a 24-hour continuance to give him
- 48:21time to think about
- 48:22it that's really nice the next day
- 48:27Bobby went back into
- 48:29court and elected to keep his plea
- 48:32deal just caused us tax
- 48:36dollars the court made certain that he
- 48:39understood that he was giving up his
- 48:42right to appeal his
- 48:44confession which he agreed he did right
- 48:47and you know now it's being transcribed
- 48:51in a courtroom you can't go back and say
- 48:54nobody told me yep
- 48:57yes the judge was very clear and we have
- 48:59it in
- 49:00writing they moved forward and
- 49:02rescheduled the proceedings for Michelle
- 49:05Sims at a later
- 49:06date at the sentencing hearing the judge
- 49:10acknowledged four aggravating factors
- 49:12including the prior conviction of the
- 49:14murder of Virginia Johnson the fact that
- 49:17the murder was committed during a
- 49:20kidnapping how heinous the murder was
- 49:23yeah and that it was premeditated
- 49:27he also acknowledged two mitigating
- 49:29factors including Bobby's extreme mental
- 49:32and emotional state as well as his
- 49:35capacity to understand the weight of his
- 49:37conduct still the judge addressed the
- 49:40court stating the aggravating
- 49:43circumstances far outweighed the two
- 49:46mitigating circumstances and quote the
- 49:49facts justifying the imposition of the
- 49:52death penalty are so clear and
- 49:54convincing that virtually no reason
- 49:57person could differ with this conclusion
- 49:59right yeah I
- 50:01mean say it louder for the people in the
- 50:03back you're good yeah the judge Then
- 50:06followed the jury's 11 to1
- 50:10recommendation and gave him a second
- 50:12death sentence for the murder of
- 50:14Michelle s then Bobby got new councel
- 50:17for the appeals and he went on to appeal
- 50:20the conviction for the murder of
- 50:22Virginia
- 50:23Johnson multiple times was so dumb I
- 50:27mean it's not dumb that's the way our
- 50:29court system works well you're never
- 50:31going to believe it he was granted two
- 50:33more trials for that you're kidding nope
- 50:37the first time because of the
- 50:38detective's choice to ignore his request
- 50:40for an attorney and I understand that
- 50:42and the second time because the
- 50:44prosecution made the mistake of
- 50:46mentioning his plea agreement in
- 50:48Hillsboro County during the penalty phas
- 50:51dang ah what a rookie mistake you can't
- 50:55bring crap like that up
- 50:57up when he appealed again the Florida
- 51:00Supreme Court directed the trial judge
- 51:02to acquit him of Virginia's murder
- 51:05despite there being fiber and hair
- 51:07evidence linking him to it we've talked
- 51:10about it before and I will always
- 51:11reiterate it it's incredibly sad when
- 51:14decisions like this are made for the
- 51:16fact that Virginia deserve justice just
- 51:19as much as the other
- 51:20victims unfortunately there comes a
- 51:23point where perhaps too many valuable
- 51:26resources have been spent to try and
- 51:28Achieve Justice when really it's just on
- 51:31paper he was still sentenced to death
- 51:34for Michelle Sim's murder and as much as
- 51:37the man probably deserved to die a
- 51:39thousand deaths MH they can only kill
- 51:41can only kill him once
- 51:44yeah this is Florida and you will
- 51:47fry Bobby went on to appeal his other
- 51:50convictions all the way to the Florida
- 51:52Supreme Court again claiming the trial
- 51:54court AED by denying his motion to
- 51:57vacate the plea agreement admitting the
- 51:59confession and a knife found because of
- 52:03the confession into the
- 52:05proceedings denying his motion for a
- 52:07continuance and imposing the death
- 52:09penalty his argument wasn't that his
- 52:12plea agreement was involuntary rather
- 52:16that because his confessions
- 52:18admissibility was in question they
- 52:21should consider the plea agreement
- 52:24invalid suck your own toe
- 52:27they of course said no to turn to
- 52:31overturning the convictions citing that
- 52:34his plea of guilty is a confession as
- 52:38well as an agreement for conviction and
- 52:40it was documented that he made a
- 52:43well-informed decision when he agreed to
- 52:46the plea deal yeah he did not once but
- 52:49twice he did
- 52:51wise however they did acknowledge that
- 52:53his conviction for Virginia Johnson's
- 52:56murder being admitted into the penalty
- 52:58phase was an issue as it had been
- 53:04overturned this is
- 53:06ridiculous so they affirmed all his
- 53:09convictions and each of the sentences
- 53:11except the death penalty which was
- 53:15remanded for a new sentencing proceeding
- 53:18in front of a new
- 53:20jury at the second proceeding the jury
- 53:24unanimously voted for the death penalty
- 53:28it's like so this time you didn't even
- 53:30get the one right this reminds me of a
- 53:32time that somebody that did not like me
- 53:34accused me of cheating on a spelling
- 53:36test in high school and so the teacher
- 53:38said hey somebody said you cheated can
- 53:40you take it again in this class with no
- 53:42phone like here take your phone and I
- 53:44said sure and then I got a better score
- 53:47yeah this is like that but bad I mean
- 53:50depends on the way you look at it but I
- 53:52just mean like
- 53:53yeah Bobby's final attempts at the
- 53:56appell process LED
- 53:58nowhere his death sentence was confirmed
- 54:01from that point on I believe the final
- 54:04call was made in
- 54:062013 and he was scheduled to be executed
- 54:09by lethal injection in
- 54:112019 he wasn't going to go easily
- 54:15though he hasn't done anything easily so
- 54:17far he had a new attorney he has made
- 54:20this the most complicated situation ever
- 54:23yes for Cons considering the fact that
- 54:24he admitted to all of it like this is
- 54:27ridiculous yes his new attorney at that
- 54:31time challenged Florida's lethal
- 54:33injection
- 54:35procedure they claimed it was
- 54:37unconstitutional under the eth amendment
- 54:39because it would be cruel and unusual
- 54:42for him oh my goodness Florida's
- 54:46procedure was a three-step process in
- 54:48which the first drug administered was
- 54:51the anesthetic automate okay which the
- 54:57attorney argued had been known for
- 54:59inducing seizures and with Bobby having
- 55:02epilepsy and traumatic brain injury
- 55:05would be potentially cruel should he
- 55:08have a reaction to it um
- 55:14nothing so they requested that the
- 55:16Florida Department of Corrections
- 55:18instead use a drug called pentab
- 55:20barbital which is used in other states
- 55:23yeah I was going to say I know that's
- 55:25used in other places the state presented
- 55:28expert testimony that the data shows
- 55:30atom aate has only been known to induce
- 55:33seizures in small doses and the dose
- 55:36given for lethal injection is very large
- 55:40therefore not likely to do anything but
- 55:43knock him out right you can't have a
- 55:45seizure if you're asleep that's not true
- 55:49I it's not true it's not true at all but
- 55:52that's kind of like what they're I mean
- 55:53they're not saying it but it's like
- 55:54benad dril you can't be allergic if
- 55:56you're
- 55:57asleep you can't be you're not itchy
- 56:00you're
- 56:01retired the court denied the motion and
- 56:04Bobby Joe long was finally executed on
- 56:07May 23rd 2019 and was pronounced dead at
- 56:116:55
- 56:12p.m. several family members of the
- 56:15victims were in attendance as well as
- 56:17Lisa
- 56:19McVey good for
- 56:22her we will get to what that was like
- 56:25for her in a minute
- 56:26but first let's talk about what happened
- 56:28with her after the abduction I would
- 56:31love
- 56:32to so going back to November 4th
- 56:361984 it was about 4:30 a.m. when Bobby
- 56:42left Lisa in that parking lot she ran
- 56:45home startled by every car that drove
- 56:48past but made her way to her
- 56:50grandmother's house she beat on the door
- 56:53hoping for safety and instead was
- 56:56greeted by her grandmother's boyfriend
- 56:59who grabbed her by the hair threw her to
- 57:02the floor and beat her he then
- 57:05interrogated her for nearly 5 hours
- 57:08asking where she had been and why she
- 57:11would cheat on
- 57:15him yes I need you to keep going cuz I
- 57:18can't process that her grandmother
- 57:22eventually called the police and told
- 57:24them not to worry about the missing girl
- 57:26she's home now making up stories about
- 57:29being
- 57:30kidnapped please tell me the police were
- 57:32like no we're still going to come yes
- 57:35thankfully the police said they still
- 57:37needed to
- 57:39investigate Lisa says that when she was
- 57:43first
- 57:44interviewed shockingly the female
- 57:47officer didn't believe her because she
- 57:50was so calm about
- 57:51it that's
- 57:53frustrating it may also have been
- 57:56because she was so shockingly detailed
- 57:59as we said in part one like she really
- 58:02was
- 58:03incredible I don't know what the officer
- 58:06said but Lisa says that at some point
- 58:09she looked at her and said no bring in
- 58:12someone more
- 58:14intelligent love
- 58:16it good I mean seriously you have to be
- 58:19an advocate for yourself yeah and I hate
- 58:23that that officer wasn't I hate that
- 58:26yeah that's ridiculous but yes good so
- 58:30they set up an interview with Sergeant
- 58:32Larry Pinkerton who was in charge of sex
- 58:36crimes Lisa told Sergeant Pinkerton the
- 58:40same exact story and then she said she
- 58:43overheard him telling the female
- 58:45detective I believe her a couple of days
- 58:49later Lisa saw the news report of
- 58:51another woman's body being discovered
- 58:53and something about it made her realize
- 58:57that must be the same guy that took me
- 59:00yeah I mean I can see that realization
- 59:03hitting somebody sometimes you just know
- 59:05things so she called Sergeant Pinkerton
- 59:08and told him she needed to tell him more
- 59:12during that interview he offered the
- 59:14option for Lisa to be hypnotized to see
- 59:17if there was anything she may be
- 59:18blocking because of trauma Lisa said she
- 59:21was willing but because she was 17 they
- 59:24needed parental or Guardian consent can
- 59:28I just say that uh Mr Pinkerton is a
- 59:30very open-minded detective you're
- 59:32definitely going to say that in a second
- 59:35when her grandmother's boyfriend refused
- 59:38Pinkerton thought his reaction was
- 59:41unusual so he expressed as much to
- 59:44Lisa Lisa started crying and ended up
- 59:48telling him everything that had also
- 59:51been going on at
- 59:52home they immediately arrested the
- 59:56grandmother's boyfriend good and placed
- 59:58Lisa in a center for runaway teens where
- 1:00:02the grandmother and the boyfriend
- 1:00:03wouldn't be able to find her good
- 1:00:06fortunately before she turned 18 and
- 1:00:08would have been released from the teen
- 1:00:10center they uh helped her look for
- 1:00:14family members who were willing to help
- 1:00:17her out M and her Aunt Carol and Uncle
- 1:00:20Charlie took her in and according to
- 1:00:22Lisa they were the only people who ever
- 1:00:25showed her love
- 1:00:27I know
- 1:00:29right these are real tears I'm just
- 1:00:31trying to be quiet she says once safe in
- 1:00:34their home there was no holding her back
- 1:00:37she worked various jobs throughout the
- 1:00:39late 80s and '90s and then in 1995 she
- 1:00:43was hired at the Hillsboro County Parks
- 1:00:45and wreck department where at one point
- 1:00:48she had to report a
- 1:00:50Breakin and the sheriff's deputy who
- 1:00:52took her statement asked if she had ever
- 1:00:54considered being a cop because she
- 1:00:56definitely had the right natural
- 1:00:59skills she said she was always
- 1:01:02interested but had never pursued it
- 1:01:04because once she had become a mom she
- 1:01:07didn't want to take the risk of such a
- 1:01:08dangerous job four years later she was
- 1:01:12able to take a position as a dispatcher
- 1:01:15for Hillsboro County and also become a
- 1:01:18reserve
- 1:01:19Deputy she said it was a good way to
- 1:01:22confirm that the job was a good fit for
- 1:01:24her yeah and in 2004 after her daughter
- 1:01:28was grown Lisa joined the police academy
- 1:01:31and eventually became a school resource
- 1:01:34officer for Hillsboro County which she
- 1:01:36absolutely
- 1:01:38loves she also speaks out about her
- 1:01:41story to advocate for rape
- 1:01:43survivors she did however rest easier
- 1:01:47after Bobby's execution which as I said
- 1:01:50she attended she told reporters
- 1:01:52afterwards that she was looking forward
- 1:01:55to getting a full night's sleep because
- 1:01:57she hadn't had one since she first met
- 1:01:59Obby
