00:00This is Taylor Elkins.
00:12Justi anni fa, Taylor's teacher, 72-year-old William Dubois,
00:17was discovered brutally beaten and deceased in his home.
00:22What's interesting is that days later, Taylor would be found driving her now-dead teacher's car.
00:35But what seemed like a straightforward case would turn out to be a complicated mess of neighborhood drama, secret affairs, and deadly conflicts.
01:05It could be a burglary. It could be somebody that he wronged, and they're coming back for vengeance.
01:10You're a rude, cold, heartless murderer. This is not going to go away. This is not going to quit.
01:16You're going to keep having your little nightmares that you have, and I hope you do for the rest of your f***ing life.
01:20On July 11, 2019, officers in Fort Smith, Arkansas, received a call from a neighbor requesting a welfare check at the home of 72-year-old William Dubois, Jr.
01:37The neighbor had grown increasingly worried when he heard an unusual noise coming from William's home a few days earlier, and had seen no sign of him since.
01:47Officers were quickly dispatched to investigate further.
01:52Hello. How are you, man? Good. Him?
01:56This is Denton Stringer, the neighbor who called 911 to request a welfare check.
02:01He would soon prove to be more involved in this case than just being a neighbor.
02:06He's not answering?
02:07He's not answering, but I was laying in my bed the other night.
02:11Uh-huh.
02:12I heard something fall sound like a-
02:15Does he have a car?
02:15Yeah, a car, but-
02:17Where's his car?
02:18His car's been gone for two, three days.
02:21Well, maybe he's gone.
02:23Okay.
02:23He would told us.
02:24Okay.
02:25He would told us now.
02:26Okay.
02:28You know what position his bedroom is at?
02:32Back that way, I think.
02:33Okay. I'll come back and talk to you in just a second, okay?
02:35The officer believes William might just have left.
02:38That is, until she discovers a disturbing odor coming from inside the house.
02:44Why night station?
02:49Can we have an operator meet me on three, please?
02:51Due to the unusual situation, Officer Hendricks calls for a backup officer, who arrived quickly and would be briefed on the discoveries.
02:58That odor could have been coming from the trash can, but Officer Hendricks was convinced it was coming from inside the house.
03:12That odor could have been coming from the trash can, but Officer Hendricks was convinced it was coming from inside the house.
03:26The officers needed to get in.
03:28However, a strange odor alone was not enough to obtain a search warrant.
03:32So, Officer Hendricks decided to ask around the neighborhood.
03:36She would soon discover that Denton Stringer had done some suspicious things since William's disappearance.
03:42But before we get to that, situations like these can be especially traumatizing for those working the case, but that's also the case for people watching these videos, just like you at home.

04:49With that said, let's get back to the officers on the scene.
04:52Officer Hendricks didn't waste any time and decided to head to the store directly across from William's house to see if anyone had seen or heard anything.
05:01Yeah, it's hot, so.
05:02Okay, so the neighbor over there says that that man sometimes comes over and talks with y'all?
05:06He does, ma'am.
05:07That's the last time you saw him or his car.
05:08That's what she just said.
05:09I don't know.
05:10I've not seen it.
05:11Probably two days.
05:12But that's what he's saying.
05:13I'm not for sure when the last time that I know it's been two days that it hasn't been out there.
05:18Now the next people next door, we've had some problems.
05:20I mean, not necessarily, but they fight out there.
05:23But Bill's always been really great.
05:24Right.
05:25To watch our place.
05:26Okay.
05:27The guy, the neighbor, there's some.
05:29There's some.
05:30He came over here to call Bill's number, like a 1-800 number.
05:33And listen, I called the police on the other side because of the women out there fighting and everything.
05:38Screaming from the kids.
05:40On his side?
05:40He did.
05:41Okay.
05:42So I've said if anybody did anything, it would be them.
05:45I mean, that's exactly what I'm like.
05:47She didn't say that.
05:48But because it's just odd that they come over here and then he's telling us to call Bill, like this one should check on this one.
05:55Yeah, that's what he said.
05:57He said his daughter stole his phone.
05:59Hey, he was a teacher at my junior high.
06:06So these people over here are saying that the guy next door is like always has some type of drama going on.
06:16Him and whoever are always fighting.
06:19Not him and Bill, but him and someone else.
06:22I mean, worst case scenario is somebody's done something bad and took his car.
06:27What the shop owner just revealed is very significant.
06:32Firstly, William, who is known around the neighborhood by Bill, hasn't been seen for the past two to three days, which is highly unusual according to the shop owner.
06:42Secondly, William's neighbor, Denton Stringer, is known to have frequent drama at his house involving various women.
06:50Recently, Denton had asked the shop owner to call William to check on him, explaining that his daughter had stolen his phone.
06:58If true, this daughter might be the same woman Denton argues with often.
07:03And if she took his phone, there is a possibility she could also be linked to William's car missing.
07:08Finally, the shop owner claims that if something bad happened to William, it would be them, suggesting that Denton and the daughter were likely involved.
07:20All of this casts suspicion on both Denton and his daughter.
07:25Officers hope that whatever they find inside William's house might reveal just how involved they were in his disappearance.
07:31With all of this in her head, Officer Hendricks returns to William's house, where officers had managed to contact the landlord for an additional key.
07:41Nothing could have prepared them for the horrifying scene they would discover inside.
07:47As officers enter the house, they find William's lifeless body in the bathroom.
08:10It soon becomes clear that this was no natural passing.
08:16Is that splatter on the doorframe?
08:18What?
08:19Is that splatter on the doorframe?
08:20Yeah, splatter.
08:21Okay.
08:21There's a splatter right there.
08:23Oh, wow.
08:26Maybe his door was unlocked.
08:28There's no phone either.
08:31What the officers had discovered was nothing short of horrific.
08:35But the attacker had left a lot of clues, meaning police could piece together a story.
08:43For starters, the body had a strong, rotten smell, indicating that William had likely been dead for over 24 hours.
08:51Throughout the house, shelves and drawers had been left open, with numerous valuables missing.
08:57This initially led investigators to believe it was a robbery.
09:00However, this is where they discovered something very curious.
09:04The front door had been locked from the outside, and there were no signs of forced entry.
09:10Officers realized that a scenario like this couldn't be possible, unless William's attacker somehow had a key to his house.
09:19In other words, whoever did this to William must have a closer connection to him than a random burglar.
09:26This made the shop owner's earlier comments even more interesting to police.
09:30They had mentioned that if anything happened to William, it would probably be Denton and his so-called daughter,
09:36both of whom were close enough to William to have been given a spare key.
09:40So with no better leads, Denton quickly became the main focus of the investigation.
09:46And police began to wonder if he was simply a concerned neighbor,
09:49or if he knew far more about William's death than he was letting on.
09:53I didn't even notice his TV's missing, too.
09:56TV's missing.
09:57No wallet.
09:58No phone.
10:00No forced entry.
10:02I think we need to talk to this guy.
10:07He just got here.
10:08Oh, I told Jeff.
10:09You told Jeff what these people are.
10:10Yeah, I talked with them over there.
10:12They said he comes over a lot and talks with them.
10:15And they said if anything ever happened to him, it would be because of somebody over his apartment.
10:22You notice that there's some red fuzz all over the place.
10:24I'm not sure what that is.
10:25He's laying on the blanket that the fuzz I mean came from.
10:27But there's fuzz in the kitchen.
10:29There's fuzz on this couch right here.
10:32Thanks.
10:32All the doors in his bedroom are open.
10:34Keys, wallet, phone, stuff that normally would be laying out.
10:37Yeah.
10:37He's got a random one.
10:38What kind of car did he?
10:39He just told me it was red.
10:41It's a red Ford Focus.
10:42We have the tag and everything.
10:43And Courtney just sent out a bolo, did not release any information.
10:46Just said, just stop this vehicle and notify our department.
10:49To find answers, the cops needed to locate that red Ford Focus,
10:54which was now on the radar of the entire Fort Smith Police Department.
10:58Whoever had possession of William's vehicle could undoubtedly help solve this case.
11:02But the officers had no idea where to start looking
11:05until William's son arrived at the scene, providing them with a major breakthrough.
11:12That's his son.
11:13That's his son.
11:1710-4.
11:18Every unit out here, please.
11:19There's a little black box in the tracker.
11:26Did he say where it went, where the car's at?
11:28Mom does that with her cars.
11:30He says there is a track, but it's not at his mom's house.
11:32Mom does it with her car.
11:33It's too far.
11:34But the car's not at the mom's house.
11:36Okay.
11:36According to The Sun, William had a GPS tracking device installed in his car,
11:42and the car is actually owned by William's wife, Susan,
11:45who has access to a mobile app that could track his location.
11:49The cops now know this tracking device is their only key to crack the case wide open and catch the killer.
11:55So with this in mind, officers would quickly redirect their attention to Susan's home.
12:02But unfortunately, they'd also have the difficult task of informing Susan that her husband passed away.
12:09Hi, Ms. Susan, I'm Officer Hendricks.
12:30I'm sorry meeting you under these circumstances.
12:33I know you.
12:34You know me?
12:35I've seen you at Northside Cakes.
12:37I've been there.
12:38Now, during the investigation, you want to sit down for a minute?
12:43No, I'm fine.
12:44Okay.
12:44All right.
12:46It might be better on your legs.
12:47Yeah.
12:48I'm just experiencing that.
12:52In every death investigation, we do a complete investigation from top to bottom
12:56because we don't want to leave any stone unturned.
12:58Does that make sense?
12:58Yeah.
12:59I'm a retired nurse.
13:00Okay.
13:02And we're not saying this is a homicide at this point, okay?
13:06No, he had a heart condition or strokes.
13:09And he could have fell and hit his head, but there's some blood there that we're concerned about.
13:12Does that make sense?
13:12He probably fell.
13:14Okay.
13:14He was acting so strange Saturday.
13:17Here's our biggest issue.
13:18He was acting strange Saturday.
13:19Okay.
13:20Here's our biggest issue.
13:21Dad, right now, is that the car is missing.
13:23Oh, no.
13:25Yes.
13:26Where's your tracker?
13:26Do you have a tracker on that car?
13:28Yes.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Okay.
13:29Her phone right here.
13:30Right here.
13:31No, that's Teresa's.
13:32Mine's in the little kitchen.
13:34Okay.
13:34We're in the bathroom.
13:35So maybe we're going to get her phone.
13:37If you can try to get me a location on that car, that's going to help us.
13:40It's going to be tremendous.
13:41And it could be the fact that you'd like to come on and go right home or something.
13:44It could be a business.
13:45It's Florida Station.
13:51It's your next up right here.
13:53It's my location.
13:54Off Kelly Highway.
13:56Yeah.
13:58It's stationary.
14:00It's parked at a house.
14:02Yeah.
14:03Oh, snow.
14:04And it's through J.P. by Ryder 2.
14:07The car is at J.P.
14:09Who's north?
14:09It's through J.P. by Ryder.
14:11What?
14:12We're in the car.
14:12Okay.
14:15Thanks to Susan, the cops now know where the missing vehicle is.
14:19Without wasting any time, officers quickly leave Susan's house and head towards the location
14:24of the car.
14:25But they have no idea who has it or what kind of danger they could be facing when they find
14:30it.
14:30After all, this is the stolen car of a murdered man.
14:37Hello?
14:38How you doing?
14:38Y'all live here.
14:39I don't.
14:40I'm from here.
14:40I'm lost.
14:41Okay.
14:42You live here?
14:42No, I'm just in the yard.
14:44Okay.
14:45Yes, sir.
14:46What's wrong?
14:46They're looking out the window.
14:47We got people looking out the window.
14:49So let's...
14:50You got an ID on you?
14:51Yes, ma'am.
14:52I have an ID.
14:53I mean, I know it's actually in a lot of people.
14:56Get your wallet out.
14:57Channel.
14:57One.
14:58Okay.
14:58Let's go inside.
15:02Let's go inside.
15:03Let's go get your wallet.
15:04You can do whatever you got to go, too.
15:05No, no, no.
15:06You can go.
15:06You can do whatever you got to do.
15:07Sure.
15:07Make her go, too.
15:08Oh, hang tight.
15:09We're going to be parked there for a second.
15:10I think she should have to go, too.
15:12Go where?
15:12Wherever.
15:14Go inside with us?
15:15I mean, she can.
15:17Hang tight for me right here.
15:19We're going to come...
15:20We're going to all go over here.
15:21Let's all go over here.
15:22What's going on?
15:23I don't know.
15:24Let's go over here.
15:24I mean, have we got something wrong?
15:27Yeah.
15:29Yeah, something's going on.
15:30Go over there and we'll explain it to you.
15:32It seems there's someone in this house who wants to avoid the cops.
15:37And these officers know they could be walking into an ambush.
15:41So everybody behind that door is a person of interest.
15:45Okay, so basically, they came out the back.
15:47They tried to go out the back.
15:49They said they were going outside of smoke.
15:50Somebody just shut the front door on me, so.
15:55Old Smith Police Department.
15:57Hey, come out with your hands up.
15:59We know you're in here.
15:59Come out.
16:01Old Smith Police Department.
16:03Go ahead.
16:04Hold traffic.
16:05Yeah, that's the 33.
16:10Hey, hey, come out.
16:11Come out.
16:12It's okay.
16:12It's okay.
16:13Just come out on the side of the house.
16:15Who else is here?
16:16It's an investigation.
16:17We're going to explain that.
16:18We're going to explain that.
16:19Who else is in here?
16:20Come on.
16:20What's going on?
16:20Just walk out to that side of the house for me.
16:23Who else is in here?
16:24Is anybody else in here?
16:25Just walk out here.
16:26Right here.
16:27To the right.
16:27Thank you.
16:28What's going on here?
16:29No.
16:30Taylor.
16:31I'll do it.
16:31That's just Taylor.
16:32I'll do it.
16:33Who else is in here?
16:35Go ahead and step out.
16:37No.
16:37Go ahead and step over.
16:39Fort Smith Police, it's your last time to come out freely.
16:44Come out with your hands up.
16:45Keep your hands in the air where I can see them.
16:47Keep your hands in the air where I can see them.
16:48Good.
16:48Keep walking.
16:50Keep walking.
16:50Walk toward me.
16:52Randall Perkins, correct?
16:54Pickens.
16:54Pickens.
16:55Okay, Randall, go ahead and step off that porch and to your right on the side of the house,
16:59okay?
16:59Okay.
16:59Who else is back here?
17:01How many more?
17:02Be real with me.
17:03How many more?
17:04I don't know.
17:05Okay, Randall.
17:06Officers would go on to conduct a room-by-room sweep of the house and confirm it was empty
17:11before returning outside to face a different challenge, a handful of detained suspects
17:16with potential ties to William's missing car.
17:20Among the small group, officers noted a mix of faces, some nervous, some indifferent, but
17:26it wasn't immediately clear who knew what until the question of the red car came up.
17:32All these subjects were inside the house.
17:34When asked any of them, who's this red car, they all pointed to Taylor Elkins.
17:39The moment Officer Shelby asked who owned the red Ford parked out front, everyone pointed,
17:45without hesitation, at the same person, Taylor Elkins.
17:49The first woman who exited the house earlier when police barged inside.
17:54Having possession of a man's car who had just turned up dead is naturally going to raise
17:59suspicion, and surprisingly, Taylor herself would go on to admit that, indeed, the car
18:06belongs to her.
18:07Here's the deal.
18:09One of the females that we got out of here, when I said, well, who's this car belong to
18:14right here?
18:15Everyone, I'm going to say, one female.
18:17And I said, that's your car?
18:18She said, yeah, that's my car.
18:20With this revelation, the focus was pinned directly on Taylor, and it was time for her
18:26to explain how she ended up in the possession of a dead man's car.
18:34Taylor, Officer Hendricks, obviously.
18:37Did he redo your Miranda rights?
18:39He did.
18:40Like, your rights, your rights to an attorney, everything like that.
18:43Okay, where'd you get the car?
18:45I already told him.
18:46You tell me.
18:47Okay, yeah, that boardwalk.
18:49It's just, like, a friend.
18:51That's it.
18:52His name's Sean, but I don't know his last name.
18:54White or black?
18:55His wife.
18:55But I don't even think he thought it was stolen.
18:57No, I didn't say it was stolen.
18:59No, I'm saying, like, I don't know.
19:00Okay.
19:01I'm just asking, I don't know how he got it, though.
19:02Okay.
19:03I was like, dude, but...
19:04You got your phone on you?
19:05No, I don't got nothing on you.
19:07Where's your phone at?
19:07In there?
19:08I ain't got a phone.
19:09Come on, everybody got a phone?
19:10No.
19:11She didn't have a phone when I arrested you.
19:12Thank you.
19:13I really had to have my daughter shattered.
19:14She had to use her girlfriend's phone at the time.
19:16So, you got it from Sean in the first entrance off of Albert Pike to 4201 Kincaid.
19:22I don't know the address.
19:23Dude, he's a crackhead.
19:24Whatever.
19:25Okay.
19:25That's why I don't...
19:27Okay.
19:29You give him any money for it or...
19:30No, he likes anything like that.
19:31We're just friends.
19:32What's his name on Facebook?
19:35Sean?
19:36I don't know.
19:37I don't know.
19:38I don't have a phone.
19:39I don't get on my Facebook no more.
19:41All right.
19:42Despite Taylor's vague recollection of how she came in possession of William
19:46's car, officers managed to get a name from her.
19:49Sean, who is a friend of Taylor that she borrowed the car from.
19:52Or at least, that's what she claims.
19:55If her story is not a complete fabrication, then whoever Sean is could be the key to solving
19:59this case.
20:01However, it's at this time that officers realized they didn't know nearly enough about Taylor,
20:07her background, her relationships, and whether she might be tied to Denton Stringer, the neighbor
20:12who was already under suspicion.
20:14So over the next few minutes, we will follow these officers in real time as they connect
20:19the dots and discover critical information in one of the best detective works we have
20:24ever covered.
20:25Hey, I arrested her two weeks ago.
20:32Or Elkins.
20:33Do you know Sean?
20:34Is he a white guy?
20:35Yeah.
20:36I think that's a baby daddy to her or something like that.
20:39To her baby daddy?
20:40She's got two kids.
20:41Okay.
20:41Yes.
20:43Hey, check them.
20:44Come here.
20:46That's Taylor's grandparents' house.
20:48That's what I said, because the address looked familiar, and then when I heard she was coming
20:51out here, I was like, I know this chick.
20:53Hey, are they homicide or?
20:55I don't know.
20:55So you beat to that?
20:57Really?
20:58Where's she at?
20:59Taylor?
21:00She's in the back of the show.
21:01Hey.
21:02You know that's her grandparents' house, right?
21:03Yes.
21:04The South Greenwood address is her grandparents' house.
21:08Yeah.
21:08Hers?
21:09It's 18-0-2?
21:10Yeah, I swear to you.
21:11She's bonded out to that address out of Crawford County.
21:13She's got like 10 felonies pending.
21:16I swear to you.
21:17It's a...
21:17Come here.
21:18The officer just made a crucial connection.
21:21Taylor's last known address, given to police during her previous arrest, was her grandparents'
21:26house.
21:27And the same duplex that William lived in.
21:31Shut up.
21:34Would you tell Shelby?
21:36I said, I think that's...
21:37Yeah.
21:401800 South Greenwood.
21:44Hey, Sarge.
21:45Sarge.
21:46Sarge.
21:49Give me just a...
21:51Her address is the neighbor's address.
21:56Huh?
21:56Her address is the neighbor's.
21:581800 South Greenwood is her uncle or her grandpa or her dad.
22:02That's what I'm telling you.
22:02That's her grandpa's house, and she's bonded out of there.
22:04She's got like 10...
22:051800 South Greenwood is all an ISIS about it.
22:08I think we, uh...
22:09She's bonded out there, because I arrested her two weeks ago, and then, like, the week
22:13after, her address is...
22:14It's the 1800 South Greenwood.
22:16She's been...
22:16That domestic assault, the guy that called it in.
22:19Wow.
22:20That's his is 1800, because our guy's is 1800.
22:24The officers figured it out.
22:26The two prime suspects were related.
22:29Taylor was Denton's granddaughter, and likely the daughter the woman in the shop had found
22:35suspicious earlier.
22:36But what these officers are about to discover next would put the spotlight solely on Taylor.
22:43Ballman has her on camera leaving on the 8th in the car.
22:48Leaving the address.
22:508th.
22:51Yeah.
22:52So...
22:53So in three days?
22:54About three days, yeah.
22:56It's Monday night.
22:57She lost her kid last week.
22:57Yeah, the decomp path.
22:59Yeah, it's about two days, three days.
23:00With this final piece of evidence, it is safe to conclude that Taylor Elkins has a major role
23:06in William's death, and detectives needed to get to the bottom of her involvement.
23:11The other detained individuals were briefly questioned, but no one had direct ties to William
23:18or knew anything about the stolen vehicle, so with no solid evidence against them, they
23:23were released.
23:24With the on-scene investigation at its end, the next move was obvious.
23:28Taking Taylor in for a formal interrogation.
23:35A few hours later, Taylor is placed inside an interrogation room and left by herself for
23:40the next 10 minutes, giving her enough time to come up with a plausible alibi to go with.
23:45What Taylor doesn't realize is that when the detective walks in, he has information that
23:50will completely disprove every excuse she has.
23:55Hello.
23:56How are you?
23:57Could've been better.
23:59Could've been better?
24:00Mm-hmm.
24:01All right, Taylor.
24:02So, you know why you're down here, right?
24:05Yeah.
24:06Yeah.
24:07Well, why are you down here?
24:09So, probably the car's stolen.
24:10I don't know.
24:11I had it in my, well I didn't have it in my, um, custom, well I don't know how to say it.
24:17It wasn't in my property, I didn't, I wasn't in the bar or nothing like that, but it was stolen and
24:22everybody pointed their fingers at me and I mean I admitted to driving it, so yeah.
24:27Okay, and where did you get it from?
24:30His dude named Sean.
24:31Sean who?
24:32I don't know his last name, I really, I don't know his last name.
24:35I just call, I say hey to him, basically.
24:38Um, he, he's just a friend, like, he does drugs, you know, so I mean, you don't, I don't know
24:44everybody's last name.
24:46You've been, you've been arrested lately?
24:48Yeah.
24:48When's, when's the last time you were arrested?
24:50Uh, last week.
24:52Last week?
24:52That's when I got my kids taken.
24:53Okay.
24:54It was Miller and this other guy.
24:55And when you, when you bonded out?
24:57Uh, I switched to one.
24:59Okay, what address do you use when you bond out?
25:01It's Windsor.
25:03You sure?
25:05Or it's my grandpa's.
25:06Who's your grandpa?
25:07Ditton.
25:09Ditton?
25:09Sugar.
25:10See, that's why I bonded out too.
25:11Oh, okay.
25:12Yeah, I bonded.
25:12Did he, did he bond you out?
25:14No.
25:14Oh, okay.
25:15No.
25:16Where's his address?
25:16He got 40, 1800.
25:181800 what?
25:19Greenwood Avenue.
25:22Okay, which last time prior to that you were over there?
25:24Two days ago.
25:26And what were you doing over there then?
25:27My grandpa.
25:28I hadn't bonded out either.
25:29I just chill over there.
25:30Just chill over there?
25:31Yeah.
25:31In just a few minutes, this detective was able to make Taylor confirm
25:35most of the evidence connecting her to the crime.
25:38In her own words, Taylor admitted that Denton Stringer is indeed her grandfather,
25:43she had William's car for a few days, and most importantly, she was at Denton's house
25:48the same period when William was killed.
25:51But this detective was just getting started, and he's about to make Taylor dig her own grave.
25:57So what about the guy that lives right next door to him?
25:59You know him?
26:00Yeah.
26:00Who's that?
26:01His name's Bill.
26:02Bill what?
26:02I don't know.
26:03Oh.
26:03I don't know.
26:04I don't know people's last name.
26:06Oh.
26:06Yeah.
26:07How old is Bill?
26:08Oh, I don't know.
26:09When was the last time you seen Bill?
26:11I don't know.
26:13I don't know.
26:14He works during the day.
26:15So this car you've been riding around in, whose car is that?
26:19I don't know.
26:20You never seen that car before?
26:21I've seen it.
26:22Where?
26:23There.
26:24Where?
26:24Oh, my God.
26:27Where, Taylor?
26:28Oh, my God.
26:29Where's the car?
26:30Where, Taylor?
26:33There.
26:34That's the car.
26:36Oh, fuck.
26:40I didn't.
26:44Wow.
26:46I think you kind of knew that.
26:48No, I didn't.
26:49I really got in.
26:50I think you did.
26:51I didn't.
26:53I think you did.
26:54I think you know Bill.
26:56I know Bill, yeah.
26:57I would have known him.
26:58I don't know him that well.
27:00And when's the last time you seen him?
27:03Like I said.
27:04Like, he comes in now.
27:05I don't know.
27:06I don't pay attention to him.
27:07Like, he ain't nothing to me.
27:09Really?
27:10Yeah, he ain't nothing to me.
27:11You kind of got all defensive all of a sudden on me.
27:15I'm just kind of curious.
27:15Because you want to look in my face now.
27:16No, you got all defensive before I ever steal.
27:18No, like, you're in my face.
27:20Like, you know.
27:21I want to make sure that we're understanding each other.
27:24Yeah, we are.
27:25Okay.
27:26I really, I don't, like, I don't really, like, pay attention.
27:32I've been doing my own thing.
27:34Hold on.
27:35Okay.
27:36So.
27:36Please do this.
27:41Okay, I'm just trying to figure out if you're being honest with me.
27:44Please.
27:45I'm actually honest with you.
27:47Taylor is trapped.
27:49She just implicated herself further by admitting that she knows William.
27:53And, to her surprise, was driving his very car.
27:58After this brilliant line of questioning, the detective tells Taylor to sit tight and leaves
28:03the room.
28:04During this time, he would make a phone call to Taylor's grandfather, Denton Stringer,
28:09and Denton would tell him that Taylor was at his house a few days ago, along with two
28:13white males.
28:15With this information at hand, the detective comes back to the interrogation room with one
28:20goal.
28:21Make Taylor confess to whatever she did inside William's home.
28:27You taking a nap?
28:28Hi.
28:29Uh, you and me both, girl.
28:31I'm old.
28:32I need my beauty to sleep, can't you tell?
28:34Legit tired.
28:35So, let me ask you something.
28:38Um, do you have a phone?
28:41No.
28:42You don't have a phone?
28:43How come?
28:44My phone is shattered it.
28:46She's shattered it.
28:48Oh, how long have you been without a phone?
28:50Huh?
28:50How long have you been without a phone?
28:51I told her to do that.
28:54Okay.
28:54Taylor, you, uh, you went to your dad's today.
28:59Were you there earlier this week, like Monday or Tuesday?
29:04Let me rephrase that.
29:05You were there earlier this week, and you had two white males with you.
29:08Who was those two white guys that are on with you?
29:11I don't know.
29:12Because I've already talked, I've already talked to your grandpa, okay?
29:16And right there by the side, your grandpa's at school.
29:18Yeah.
29:19That school's got video, and it shows you showing up with two white males.
29:22So, I'm just kind of curious.
29:23Who are those two white males on?
29:25I don't know.
29:26I don't know.
29:29I don't even remember two white males.
29:31You don't?
29:33So, you don't think that's Bill's car?
29:36I mean, if it is, that's fucking amazing.
29:38Even when directly confronted with undeniable facts, Taylor continues to play dumb,
29:44even making a mockery of the entire situation.
29:47So, in order to make it clear to Taylor that this is a serious situation,
29:51the detective would reveal the true reason she's in the interrogation room.
29:56Because she is a murder suspect.
29:59Do you know why that's Bill's car?
30:01Why?
30:01Because he's dead.
30:04They beat him to death.
30:06And you're driving the car from a man who's been beat to death.
30:10Aww.
30:11And I don't know that you ain't got something to do with it.
30:13And you want to play tough girl with me, and let me tell you, this is not going to work out for you real good.
30:18Aww.
30:19He's been beat to death.
30:20I don't know.
30:22You think I'm lying?
30:24You think?
30:25Why the hell do you think I'm here?
30:26You know why I'm here?
30:27Do you know what my title is?
30:30Huh?
30:31Homicide.
30:33Hey, it's got real.
30:35You talk about losing your girls.
30:37You're just losing for a lifetime.
30:38I do, Taylor.
30:39You know what?
30:40You're knee-deep in this shit right now.
30:42I do, Taylor.
30:43I do, Taylor.
30:44You better start coming clean with what you know.
30:45I did.
30:46I told you.
30:46I'm just letting you know.
30:48Here's where we're at, Taylor.
30:49I'm going to be honest with you.
30:51This can go either really good for Taylor, or this can go really bad for Taylor, because
30:55I can promise you I'm really good at what I do.
30:57If I can catch you in a lie, and if you lie to me, I will.
31:00I will put you in prison for the rest of your little life.
31:04Just know that.
31:06Now that Taylor understands the severity of everything, and is deeply emotional, the detective
31:12will seize the moment to confront her by exploiting her vulnerable state in hopes that the emotional
31:18pressure will break her defenses and compel her to finally tell the truth.
31:23I'm not threatening you.
31:25I'm not going to be upset.
31:27I am promising you.
31:29So, if you give a damn about Bill, if you didn't kill him, if you didn't beat the hell
31:36out of that old man, you're driving a car that was taken after they beat him.
31:43You better come up with who had this damn car, or who you took over there with you, that
31:47seen him and went back and targeted him.
31:49I told you.
31:50I told you.
31:50I told you.
31:50I told you.
31:51I told you.
31:52I told you.
31:52I told you.
31:52I told you.
31:53You better start coming up with some full names, because you know what?
31:56Who do you need to think of right now?
31:58Who's the most important person in your life right now?
32:00My baby.
32:01You and your babies.
32:03You better take care of them.
32:04I tell you.
32:06You better think.
32:07You better think hard.
32:10Because I got all night.
32:12Hell, I get paid about an hour.
32:13I'll stay here all weekend.
32:15You're driving around a dead man's car.
32:16I didn't know he was dead.
32:18I wasn't there.
32:19But you know the people who probably killed him.
32:21I told you.
32:23I got the corpse.
32:24Sean who?
32:25In the apartment that you pointed out?
32:27Yeah.
32:28The guy that old man died in it, had a heart attack and died in one last week.
32:32And the other one's got an old woman that lives in it.
32:35I thought it was dope.
32:38I'm just, I'm giving you an opportunity right now.
32:40Okay, I'm telling you.
32:42Okay, tell me.
32:43I told you.
32:44I'm telling you.
32:45Let me ask you this.
32:48If you had to get Sean right now, where would you go get him at?
32:52What apartment number?
32:56In the corner, it says 4567.
32:59It's either five or six.
33:00Now, it seems like Taylor has a story to prove her alibi.
33:05Taylor claims that William's car belongs to a man named Sean, who she borrowed the car
33:09from recently.
33:10If what she's saying is true, then Sean could very well be the perpetrator of this evil crime.
33:16However, Taylor would also proceed to point more accusations towards Sean, telling the
33:21detective that he assaulted her, ruined her life, and took her kids away.
33:26This means that Taylor was likely involved in a relationship with Sean for a good amount
33:31of time.
33:31But what's strange about this entire story is that every time the detective asks Taylor
33:37for personal information about this Sean guy, she dodges the questions and refuses to give
33:43any information away.
33:45So, with Taylor seemingly uncooperative, the detective would end this interview to get to
33:51the bottom of her claims and figure out who Sean really is.
33:55and what they discovered would put Taylor in an even worse situation.
34:03You been thinking about anything?
34:06I don't know.
34:07I can talk to him.
34:09It hurts, but I have a little issue.
34:15So, this is the guy you say you got a car from?
34:17Mm-hmm.
34:19Are you sure?
34:21Well, I told you he's in jail.
34:24I don't know.
34:25I hope so he's been to jail since June the 6th.
34:30Mm-hmm.
34:33You think I'm making this up?
34:34No.
34:36So, if he's in jail, how did he give you the car?
34:42It was him.
34:46I had to be sure.
34:48You better rethink this, Taylor.
34:49and I was looking like you killed him.
34:52No, yeah.
34:53I didn't know whether it was me.
34:54You think it's funny?
34:54No, I said it wasn't me.
34:56Well, you better figure it out then, because you just lied.
34:58Well, I didn't.
35:02Sean giving her the car was a completely fabricated story,
35:06and the detective just proved it.
35:08So, with this major lie exposed,
35:11Taylor is taken away to sleep in jail,
35:14while detectives work on finding more incriminating evidence against her.
35:17The next day, Taylor is brought back into the interrogation room
35:23in an orange jumpsuit.
35:24This time, the detective has prepared undeniable evidence
35:28to thoroughly debunk her entire alibi
35:31and make her confess.
35:32You want to know what happened to Bill?
35:43No.
35:48I didn't know to see a picture of him.
35:51You believe he's dead now?
35:53Yeah.
35:57You still think this is all a joke?
35:59No.
36:00He slept last night, didn't he?
36:02He slept last night, didn't he?
36:03You won't sleep.
36:04That's what haunts you.
36:07There's only one way you're ever going to get any relief.
36:11Where you're going to get any closure,
36:13and you're going to have to tell us the truth of everything you know,
36:15and you haven't done it yet.
36:16And it's going to be the hardest thing for you to do.
36:19But it's the only way you're going to get any peace ever.
36:22At a minimum, if you didn't do it,
36:26you know who did?
36:29Are you scared of the person who's involved in this?
36:32I don't know if you didn't walk in it.
36:34You don't really think you get stuff out of people by threatening them.
36:37I'm not threatening you.
36:38I haven't got a new face.
36:39I haven't got a new face.
36:41I'm saying with you.
36:42I haven't threatened you.
36:44I don't think you know what's fixing to happen to you.
36:45Because you don't believe anything.
36:50I'm sorry?
36:50You don't believe anything.
36:51I don't believe liars.
36:53Okay?
36:53Okay.
36:54And you're a damn liar.
36:55We need to be out there getting a real killer.
36:57Well, you need to be helping us.
36:59If you even cared about the old man that's been beat to death and shot,
37:02you need to be helping us.
37:03You just shot?
37:05You don't think he was shot?
37:07Was he?
37:08You tell me.
37:08You just showed me the top.
37:09You don't see enough?
37:11You don't see it again?
37:12I'll get a better look.
37:12My arms.
37:13I want you to remember that picture every night of your life.
37:16I want you to do it.
37:17Every night.
37:19Elkin's body language has shifted from cocky and playful to scared and confused.
37:24And just about everything else in between.
37:26Her behavior would change again after she's allowed to make a phone call to her mother,
37:31where she'd stop pleading innocence and start playing the victim.
37:34She's now going to paint a picture of a man named Joseph Rogers,
37:38better known as Joe,
37:39that will make him out to be the bad guy.
37:42So we let you talk to your mom.
37:45So now what I would like to ask you for you to tell us the truth.
37:51The truth?
37:51I mean, I told y'all the truth today.
37:54But I just didn't tell y'all all of it.
37:57Tell us again what happened
37:58and exactly the truth the way it happened, okay?
38:03Joe came over that night
38:05and he asked me what he had in the house
38:10and I told him that he didn't have shit.
38:12He's like, will you knock on the door?
38:13Knock on the door.
38:15And then he went in.
38:16I left.
38:17That's when I went to McDonald's.
38:18When I came back, he told me he took care of it.
38:21I didn't kill him.
38:22I didn't do nothing like that.
38:24When he said he took care of it.
38:27He told me that at the casino because I kept asking him what happened.
38:30because I didn't want to pardon him, so I was scared.
38:33I didn't want to go in there or nothing.
38:35I didn't know what happened.
38:37And I kept asking him what happened, what happened, what happened.
38:41He kept telling me that he took care of it, that it's okay,
38:45that he finished the ball, ball, and nothing would come about it.
38:48Elkins has implicated Joe by claiming he'd taken care of William
39:14while he was robbing him of his belongings.
39:16She also claims he's behind the whole thing, and she was too terrified to stop him.
39:22If this wasn't the third story she'd came up with, the detectives may have believed her.
39:27But what Elkins doesn't realize is that the detectives have potential evidence
39:31that will place her at the scene of the crime and prove she's been lying all along.
39:36One thing that is concerning is the fact that Bill does have hair in his hand.
39:44and we had a detective down there during his eye tossing who states that the hair is the same color as yours,
39:56and Joe doesn't have any hair, so where would that come from?
40:01I don't know, because I didn't see him have hair.
40:04That's the truth, that's why I gave it a hair simple.
40:08I didn't want to put the eyes ball in.
40:11Yeah, that's why I gave it a hair simple, because I didn't know.
40:14If that lock of hair they found on William's body belongs to Elkins,
40:28then her stories will mean nothing, as the physical evidence will do the talking for her.
40:34But right now, that's not the only thing she has to worry about,
40:40as detectives have even more evidence that proves her whole story has been a lie from the very beginning,
40:47and it's all thanks to the GPS tracker William's wife installed in his car.
40:52That GPS tracker would also help detectives to map everywhere she had been from the very moment she stepped in the car,
40:59and then used the CCTV to determine who was inside the vehicle.
41:04I know you don't have me, I'm sorry, he's got a job to do, I hope you understand that.
41:08Let me show you another picture.
41:11Who's that?
41:13Where is that at?
41:14Well, there he is in the car with you.
41:17In Bill's car.
41:17That's Joe.
41:19Did Joe want to kill him?
41:20Joe was with you when you left the house, and when y'all went to the casino.
41:25Did Joe kill him?
41:28Here's your opportunity.
41:29We got the evidence.
41:32There's a tracker on the car.
41:33We take it straight from when you left there.
41:35You go to Kavanaugh.
41:38You go to the casino.
41:39So you need to get this real real for you real quick.
41:42So you need to think about this.
41:44Because we're fixing to take this to the prosecutor to get a warrant for you for murder.
41:48So you better start thinking if you want to take the rap,
41:50or you want to be honest, because we're running out of time.
41:53No you ain't, no you ain't.
41:55I just showed you.
41:57I've not hit nothing.
41:58I didn't say you watched.
41:59Like.
42:00I didn't say you watched, but I said you know.
42:02But here's the thing.
42:03Wait, okay, so people are just supposed to come up and tell me, right?
42:05Now that you're protecting him, you'll be charged as an accomplice.
42:08How am I protecting him?
42:09You know what happened.
42:10So people just come up and tell me all the time now that people murdered somebody.
42:13No.
42:14Taylor's arrogance with the entire situation has seemed to finally have caught up to her.
42:26And her extreme stubbornness has left the detectives with no choice other than to resort to other
42:32methods of incriminating suspects such as DNA samples, hair samples, and last but not least, the polygraph.
42:39The polygraph test was done off camera.
42:43However, the polygraph examiner would have some harsh words for Taylor after the test had concluded.
42:49Tester girls are not good showing that you were showing deception.
43:00Deception means that you're trying to deceive.
43:02You're not being truthful.
43:03I am.
43:04I brought this in here to show you.
43:12You see that question that says R5?
43:16And that big spike on it?
43:19That's where you were telling us a lie.
43:21You were lying to me when I asked you in the test, were you present when he was attacked?
43:25Not when he was killed, but attacked maybe, not killed.
43:30When I asked you, did you kill him?
43:34Your reading is stronger than that.
43:36Oh, my God.
43:37Hey, I'm just talking to everybody.
43:38I can't leave.
43:40You're just, you know, when I turn around, I'm not in the mood today.
43:43I've had...
43:43Well, I really don't give a shit if you're in the mood or not.
43:46Of course you don't.
43:47Of course you don't.
43:47All right?
43:48I'm a rude person.
43:49I'm not a rude person.
43:50Yes, you are.
43:51You're a rude, cold, heartless murderer.
43:54That's what you are.
43:55No, I'm not.
43:56Look at you.
43:57You have no defense for yourself.
43:58I'm not, though.
43:59Because you killed the old man.
44:00No, I didn't.
44:01I know what I'm capable of.
44:03Yeah, you're capable of that.
44:04You're right in the middle of all of it.
44:07And why you don't think you think you're so tough?
44:09I told y'all that.
44:10You ain't told us nothing.
44:11You make up everything to point a finger at everybody else.
44:13I don't.
44:15You do, 100%.
44:16I don't.
44:17This is not going to go away.
44:19This is not going to quit.
44:20Okay.
44:20You're going to keep having your little nightmares that you have,
44:23and I hope you do for the rest of your fucking life.
44:25Taylor would never formally confess during the rest of the interrogation,
44:29continuing to point fingers, blame others, sometimes being completely imaginary people,
44:35and playing the victim.
44:37William Dubois Jr. had suffered from 27 impact injuries and met a terrifying end the day of his death.
44:45The hair sample found in William's hand was eventually matched to the hair of Taylor's,
44:52adding one final cherry on top to help convict her.
44:56Detectives ultimately believed Elkins was responsible.
45:00Although she didn't confess to the cops, she allegedly made a confession during her incarceration.
45:06She also told another inmate that she went to William's house to borrow some money and had become
45:10angry when he didn't have any. So out of both frustration and pure evil,
45:15she grabbed a hammer and beat the life out of William without any remorse.
45:21Taylor's grandfather, Denton Stringer, was initially investigated as a potential suspect.
45:27However, with no solid evidence connecting him to William's murder or Taylor's involvement,
45:32authorities ruled him out.
45:34As for Joseph Rogers and Sean, they were both cleared of any involvement in William's death.
45:40The two had nothing to do with the crime whatsoever and were simply scapegoats for Taylor to point fingers at.
45:47As for Taylor, she was charged with first-degree murder on October 9, 2019,
45:53and in January 2020, she accepted a plea deal that meant she'd avoid a life sentence.
45:59Instead, she was sentenced to over 40 years in prison.
46:03Her first chance at parole will come in 2059.
