00:01Murder by mail
00:05December 16, 1989
00:11It was a quiet afternoon in Mountain Brook, Alabama.
00:17And federal judge Robert Vance was enjoying the day with Helen, his wife of 34 years.
00:24The judge worked extensively in the region.
00:26But once a month, he would travel to Atlanta or Montgomery, where he served on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:45For many years, the judge's strong personality earned him many friends and admirers.
00:51Less than two weeks before Christmas, her mailbox was literally overflowing with cards and packages.
00:58Judge Vance apparently thinks one of them is from a friend of his, a judge on the 11th circuit, who's sending him some horse magazines.
01:08Judge Vance was killed almost instantly.
01:24His wife, Helen, was sitting across the table from him when the bomb went off, and she was quite seriously injured.
01:33Mrs. Vance, amazingly, had one nail that entered her body and lodged, I believe, near her back.
01:42Despite her injuries, Helen did not lose consciousness and managed to call emergency services, but there was a problem.
01:49The explosion left her temporarily deaf.
01:51The victim's son, attorney Robert Vance Jr., was in New York on business.
02:20when a family friend broke the news.
02:22He began by saying that his mother is doing well.
02:26She is in the hospital now.
02:28And then I asked about my father, and he said that he is coming.
02:33So that's how I found out about it.
02:35And it was quite a shock.
02:40In Birmingham, the Mountain Brook police met with the FBI.
02:46ATF, the Federal Police, and the Post Office.
02:50The victim's body had been removed, but there was flesh, blood, and shrapnel scattered throughout the room.
02:59The kitchen in the house looked like a war zone.
03:02There was a bloody stain on the floor.
03:07It was very clear that there was some very severe damage to humanity.
03:12Mrs. Vance was sitting here, with Mrs. Vance across the table.
03:18He looked at the box, and as soon as he opened it, it was opening in a resting motion.
03:23He was opening up in a way that allowed him to rest.
03:25He was opening up from this house.
03:26Experts began the difficult task of reconstructing the device made by the killer from hundreds of fragments.
03:55It's like putting a puzzle together.
03:59You had paper stones, you had string stones, you had intact stones,
04:06You had paper, you had stones, you had the postage stamp that was on the package.
04:17All these things had to be collected, carefully tagged,
04:21and then they were sent to Washington to the FBI lab for examination.
04:25My purpose is to find out what the device was and provide that information to the field investigators
04:39to assist them in trying to determine the person or persons responsible for putting that device together
04:47and causing it to explode.
04:49While the experts conducted the forensic analysis, the investigators searched for a motive.
04:55Your mind is going in two or three different directions.
04:58Was it a personal vendetta by a neighbor or a relative or a business associate?
05:04Or was it someone who didn't like his verdict in the courtroom or what he represented?
05:10Or his politics? All these things come into play.
05:13They were going through every case my dad ever decided.
05:17And seeing who was involved in every case, it was a massive undertaking.
05:22During his 12 years as a judge, Robert Vance had delivered verdicts against major Colombian drug traffickers.
05:30The Aryan Brotherhood and the Ku Klux Klan.
05:34And early in his career as leader of the Alabama Democratic Party,
05:38He had fought against segregationist militants and received many death threats.
05:44If they would go after a federal judge like that, nobody was off limits.
05:51It was unthinkable.
05:53The entire criminal justice system would break down if you murder judges.
05:57I mean, that's like something that would happen in Bogota, not Birmingham, Alabama.
06:02It's trying to interpret the motivation for assassinating a federal judge.
06:06You're trying to determine, was this person targeted because of who he was and what he did
06:12or what does he represent to other people?
06:14There was a strong likelihood that the motive was racial.
06:19Birmingham has a violent history regarding civil rights.
06:23from attacks on protesters to the death of four young girls at the Baptist Church.
06:38But, given the specific nature of the attack,
06:41The FBI's behavioral experts went even further.
06:44A bomber chooses his weapon because he wants to make sure that somebody is going to die,
06:53but he doesn't want to be there to see it.
06:55He didn't leave the bomb in the mailbox.
06:57He let the postal authorities do it.
06:59So, for him, the inference then for us was that his ego trip was beyond killing a federal judge.
07:07It was making an employee of the federal government the mailman
07:12and an accessory to the crime.
07:15So, we looked at that as part of his makeup,
07:20that he's the kind of person that likes to laugh at the government
07:22and feels that he can outsmart us on all levels.
07:26But this analysis only increased the researchers' concern.
07:32Was Judge Robert Vance an isolated target?
07:35Or could this be the beginning of something even more threatening?
07:3824 hours after the assassination of Judge Robert Vance,
07:55The person responsible for the bomb explosion had not yet been found.
07:59But an army of agents would do the impossible to find him.
08:03I hadn't been on the job even three years yet,
08:07but I really wanted to be out there.
08:10You know, I wanted to say, pick me, pick me.
08:12I want to work with you on this case.
08:15When you kill a federal judge,
08:17then it gets the full attention of the FBI,
08:23the other federal law enforcement agencies,
08:25and it gets a lot of media attention.
08:27And there's a lot of pressure to find out who did this.
08:30Monday, a court security officer is reviewing packages
08:38moving along on conveyor belt on the x-ray machine.
08:43When he spots what appears to be the profile of a pipe bomb inside a package.
08:52This time, the device had been sent directly
08:57to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta,
09:01the same court presided over by Judge Robert Vance.
09:04When the authorities realized that the package was similar to the one sent to the judge's home,
09:29The investigators' concern increased even further.
09:32Well, we had the judge Vance's bomb on Saturday.
09:35We had the 11th circuit court bomb on Monday morning.
09:40No one knew what to expect next.
09:43It was anyone's guess.
09:45To increase the range of action,
09:47A task force was formed, composed of authorities from both cities.
09:51The FBI was the lead agency in the investigation,
09:59but we were really needing more help from other agencies,
10:05and especially expertise from the alcohol tobacco farms with bombings,
10:10with the postal inspectors,
10:13with the delivery of a package in the mail,
10:16with the U.S. Marshals,
10:18who were going to be responsible for protecting all the judges.
10:22It was impossible to ignore the connection with the appeals court.
10:26and investigators intensified the search for individuals
10:30who had some kind of problem with the court.
10:34But in Jacksonville, Florida,
10:37There was little reason to distrust a package.
10:39who had arrived at the local NAACP office.
10:43Three hours after the bomb was intercepted in Atlanta,
10:47Willie Dennis, president of the NAACP in Jacksonville, received a package.
10:51But she was late for an appointment and didn't make it to the shelter.
10:57At the same time, a similar package arrived at the NAACP office in Savannah.
11:03for Robert Edward Robinson.
11:04It's a horrific scene.
11:25The windows are blown out.
11:27His desk is blown basically in two.
11:29It is spattered with gore.
11:32The pale blue walls in his office have nails in them,
11:37And I will never forget it.
11:39I think probably the impact it had on the public
11:43was to convey in a very important way
11:46the horror of what this bomber has done.
11:51You know, it's one thing to see crime scene tape.
11:54It's another to see where a man's physical being has been blown away.
12:01My son told me that his aunt Vivian from Savannah
12:07had called and wanted to know,
12:11did I hear anything about the explosion?
12:17And I said, what explosion?
12:18She said, that's all she said.
12:20I called my mom,
12:22and when she picked up the phone,
12:23I knew something was wrong with her.
12:25And she was screaming.
12:26And she said that it had been an explosion
12:29at Robbie's office.
12:33And she didn't know what was going on.
12:35I just more or less grabbed my purse
12:37and got in the car,
12:39me and my sons to go there.
12:42Almost lifeless,
12:44Robert Robinson was rushed to the hospital.
12:47where a team of seven surgeons
12:49He fought desperately to save him.
12:52But after fighting bravely,
12:53They lost the battle.
12:55About that,
12:58Robert's sister, Barbara,
12:59and their children
13:00The trip took two and a half hours.
13:02from his home in Augusta, Georgia,
13:04to the savanna.
13:07This was very, very painful
13:09because when we were on the road,
13:12before we got to Savannah,
13:14they announced it on the radio.
13:16And I, you know,
13:17that really almost caused me to have a wreck.
13:20The kids didn't know what to do
13:21because I just stopped the car
13:23and got out of the car
13:24and just started running down the highway.
13:26I don't know why I just jumped out of the car.
13:29The third bomb in three days.
13:32It stunned the investigators.
13:34The agents wanted to know
13:37if there was any connection
13:39between the Court of Appeals
13:40and the NAACP.
13:42A case involving the famous
13:44law firm
13:46that might have motivated the attack.
13:47With tensions running high,
13:50federal agents
13:51and NAACP employees
13:53throughout the country
13:54They were expecting the worst.
13:57It did feel like
13:58we were under attack, you know,
14:01Nobody knew when the next one
14:02was going to show up
14:03or anything, so pretty much
14:05the whole office was working
14:07this investigation.
14:08The following morning
14:11in Jacksonville,
14:12in Florida,
14:13the president of the NAACP,
14:15Willie Dennis,
14:16I heard about the attacks.
14:17to the pump.
14:17Yes I know,
14:18I'm on my way.
14:19Something that clicks,
14:21something that comes together.
14:22She calls the contact.
14:23in the sheriff's office,
14:25that in turn
14:25Call the bomb technician.
14:29After 24 hours
14:31very tense,
14:32The bomb was disarmed.
14:33While the experts
14:36They were looking for clues.
14:37on the device,
14:39FBI agents
14:40They used the latest information.
14:42to try to find out
14:43The criminal's motives.
14:47He didn't know.
14:48certainly
14:49that Mr. Robinson
14:50I would open that bomb.
14:52He sent it.
14:52for him
14:53in his workshop.
14:54In doing so,
14:56someone else
14:57could open
14:57your hand.
14:58He didn't care.
14:59Who did this?
15:00Somebody
15:00in your workshop
15:01I was going to die.
15:02And the other two bombs
15:04that he sent
15:05for the NAACP
15:06in the 11th circuit,
15:08They were message bombs.
15:10They were
15:10disarmed bombs.
15:11And he didn't care.
15:12who died there.
15:14That was
15:15institutional
15:16unarmed
15:17not one
15:18guys
15:18assault.
15:19He said
15:20that this does not
15:21it is a
15:21run-of-the-mill
15:22someone who is
15:23sending
15:24A bomb.
15:25This is a
15:25thought
15:26which has many
15:27different
15:27angles.
15:29As thought process
15:30it involves
15:31unarmed
15:31or using
15:33other people
15:33to achieve
15:34your goal.
15:35He probably
15:36are you thinking
15:37about that
15:37a long time ago.
15:39And fantasy
15:40and planning
15:41and he
15:41did research
15:42and the fruits
15:44from your work
15:45he couldn't
15:46wait
15:46to see
15:46in 11 hours.
15:47In four days
15:50us
15:50we feel
15:51that we had
15:51A bomb.
15:53And no
15:53we knew
15:53how many
15:54others
15:54bombs
15:55they were

16:07They had died.
16:09Until that
16:09moment
16:10the agents
16:10they were not
16:11Not even close.
16:12to solve
16:12the case.
16:12Naturally

16:13There are two.

25:54a detail
25:54subtle
25:55and apparently
25:56unrelated
25:56with the case
25:57caught my attention
25:58scrap metal
26:01that came to my attention
26:03It was the way the shelves were placed.
26:05I was asking him
26:07who did the carbohydrate's job
26:09And he said that he did.
26:11The shelves,
26:13Actually, a number of them.
26:15Almost no rest.
26:17I can't imagine.
26:19someone building the shelves
26:21thus, being the person who built
26:23the goods.
26:25There is a lot in
26:26the device.
26:28So much planning
26:30had gone to the construction of these devices
26:32and the work
26:34It was of a higher level.
26:36that was at the bombs
26:37from what I saw
26:38on the shelves.
26:40If the person who built these shelves
26:42tried to plant the bombs,
26:44We wouldn't be talking to him right now.
26:46He would have to knock himself down.
26:48But the carpentry skills are questionable.
26:50were not enough to exonerate
26:52Robert O'Farrell.
26:54This type of planning
26:56It was viewed as an impression.
26:58A fight.
26:59There was speculation.
27:01that it was taken in a lake.
27:03There were many lagoons.
27:04and looking for this type of planning,
27:06but it was never located.
27:07Imagine the federal agents.
27:09heading to Wayne O'Farrell's skeptic tank
27:13And do you have an idea?
27:15of correctness
27:17with which they scrutinized
27:19your life.
27:21The investigators pressed O'Farrell.
27:24and he agreed to take the lie detector test,
27:27hoping to be eliminated as a suspect.
27:30But he failed.
27:32While Alabama agents continued investigating O'Farrell,
27:54almost 320 km away,
27:57ATF was already working on another track.
28:00What is that?
28:02What is it?
28:03What is it?
28:04What is it?
28:05What is it?
28:06What is it?

28:39Me?
28:40What is it?
28:41What is it?
28:43What is it?
28:44What is it?
28:45What is it?
28:46What is it?
28:47What is it?
28:48We had to get a drum of a great affrÀонenciailation on top.
28:51And the fish's name was Walter Leroy Moody.
29:18Moody went from one of the 20 names that a chemist remembers from 20 years ago that's
29:25got to stay on the list.
29:27Moody, at least with ATF and with me and the case agent, Moody went high on the hit parade.
29:33We were in an agreement with the FBI that they would continue to pursue other avenues
29:38and persons of interest, but we were locking on Moody.
29:42And that was fine because, you know, it ain't over till it's over.
29:46While investigating the history of Walter Moody, the federal agents discovered that in 1971
29:53he was forced to return his car.
29:55Outrageado, he built a special package to be sent to the vendor of the car, which he
30:00was responsible for the case.
30:02And when she opened it, it blew up and injured her pretty badly.
30:17It's lucky she wasn't killed, she was maimed.
30:21Walter Moody was convicted of possession of a case agent and spent three years in prison.
30:28But his subsequent return to the 11th circuit was rejected.
30:33What were the odds that this guy built a package bomb previously in Macon, Georgia
30:40and had a beef with the 11th circuit court of appeals?
30:43You know, as far as I'm concerned, he's the guy.
30:46However, there was little evidence to suggest that Walter Moody had been involved in such activities.
30:53racists.
30:54Why would he attack the NAACP?
30:56This was a problem.
30:58But when ATF experts determined that the 1989 bombs were nearly identical...
31:04Following the bombing that had occurred in 1972, they began investigating Moody.
31:09It and the 72 device were unique.
31:12The only two that I've ever seen that used bolts with square plates.
31:17Even though there were still some differences, but there were kind of improvements made from
31:21the other one.
31:23As far as pipes, regular pipe bombs.
31:25I just never saw when anybody went to that much trouble to put a pipe together when he
31:29could have made it in a tenth of the time, you know, by just buying the ready-made materials.
31:37There were elements of those bombs that I never saw in my entire ATF career.
31:43The way he made them work with each other was superior in every way.
31:48You know, it was genius, it was madness.
31:55After many false leads and a series of deadly bomb attacks,
31:59FBI and ATF federal agents were focusing on a man in Atlanta.
32:04named Walter Leroy Moody.
32:06Moody's behavior also fit the FBI profile.
32:17Moody's behavior also fit the FBI profile.
32:29His day was choreographed.
32:35He got up at the same time.
32:37He went out at the same time.
32:39He even goes to the same Waffle House every morning.
32:41He went to the same place every day.
32:44He was just very rigid.
32:47I followed him to a hotel off I-75 between Atlanta and Macon.
32:53And he went to a pay phone.
32:55He called an attorney and told the attorney,
32:59I'm being followed by the feds.
33:02And I think it's because they think I killed that federal judge
33:05and felt that bomb in the mail.
33:07How in the hell does this guy know he's being followed and his feds?
33:13And it has anything to do with the judge being killed by a mail bomb?
33:17The circumstantial evidence against him was mounting.
33:20And the agents obtained a search warrant for his home.
33:24Moody's reaction was cool.
33:27He didn't want to talk.
33:28He wanted to talk to his lawyer.
33:30But he was confident that there would be nothing found in his house
33:35to connect him to the bombing and he was right.
33:38Most people who build bombs leave microscopic traces of their crimes.
33:43But when investigators examined his workspace,
33:46She was absolutely clean.
33:48Everything was clean and neat.
33:50Everything had its place and the place for everything.
33:54It had been freshly painted.
33:56There was new carpet on the floor.
33:59And in fact, the flooring, the plywood flooring had been cut out.
34:04Removed and replaced.
34:07And so what they found was a sterile room in Moody's house.
34:13It was very frustrating to not find the evidence we were expecting.
34:18But on the other hand, this is what convinced me that we had the right guy.
34:24Bombers are very enrolled people.
34:27If they're not, they kill themselves.
34:29In their persona to other people, they sometimes come across as almost effeminate.
34:34Not in a homosexual way necessarily.
34:37But because they were just so neat about their hair, their dress.
34:41More like women than men.
34:44And that reflects in their bomb making.
34:46That reflects in their lifestyle.
34:48So, Mr. Moody, if you looked at his appearance, it was impeccable most of the time.
34:55Never a hair out of place.
34:57If we bring Moody to trial, part of his defense is, I didn't do it.
35:12I didn't even have the typewriter.
35:14You never found the typewriter in my house.
35:16You never found anything else that I typed on that typewriter.
35:19It must be the junk dealer in Alabama.
35:22But finally, a brake came.
35:24There was information developed that the junk dealer's wife may have sold the typewriter manual to Walter Leroy Moody's wife, Susan, a few months prior to the bombing.
35:40It seemed like an impossible coincidence.
35:43Two ex-reels, both with appeals denied by the Court of Appeals, linked by an old typewriter.
35:51But Robert O'Farrell's wife was able to identify Susan as the person who had bought one of his used typewriters.
35:59And during FBI questioning, Moody's wife eventually admitted that she too had purchased several items necessary for making the bombs.
36:08Susan Moody had been the person Roy Moody sent out to gather the components from around the southeast.
36:20Susan Moody was able to take investigators to the places where these components had come from.
36:29She was able to help them piece together this mosaic.
36:34Susan Moody worshiped Moody and did his bidding, whatever it was she would follow and do whatever he told her.
36:43She didn't seem to have a mind of her own anymore.
36:47She was his robot.
36:54In addition to Susan Moody's information, the Federal Police determined that Robert Wayne O'Farrell was not involved in the bombings or the threats, and officially eliminated him as a suspect.
37:06We had an outstanding investigative team that made things terribly uncomfortable for Mr. O'Farrell, but proved that he was innocent.
37:14And it's difficult for him to accept, but I hope someday that he sees that we were just doing our job, and we'll understand it.
37:25Shortly afterwards, Walter Leroy Moody was charged with the murders of Judge Robert Vance in Birmingham and lawyer Robert Robinson in Savannah.
37:35Investigators believed that Moody had sent the bombs from Atlanta, Savannah, and Florida to distract investigators.
37:46But the case was far from being fully resolved.
37:50Moody was not involved in racist activities, and there was still no motive for the attacks on the NAACP lawyers.
37:58To keep him off the streets, the FBI devised a plan to try to get the suspect to incriminate himself.
38:05The investigators shared with us that he was known to speak with him.
38:12And we wonder if it's possible that someone like him could confess something to him.
38:20In the recordings, Moody admitted to killing two people, but justified his actions.
38:41Bombers, they're convinced they're whiter than us.
38:44They are whiter than the victims, they are whiter than the system.
38:47They think things, they fantasize about them.
38:50Bombers will rationalize that it's not my fault he opened his package.
38:54I didn't give it to him, but the mailman did.
38:56It's the mailman's fault.
38:57This guy was a game-changer.
39:00He wanted to go to school.
39:03He fancied himself the coolest guy in the world.
39:06And he could go to a school, but he could never actually go to school.
39:12Because of his conviction in 1972 regarding the bomb in Macon, Georgia.
39:19So, 18, 19 years later, he's still consumed with proving that he didn't do it.
39:27And having his conviction of openness.
39:30And he's not coming.
39:32Now, Moody was facing another possible conviction, this time for murder.
39:39The trial began in June 1991, but due to the high level of publicity,
39:45It ended up being held in St. Paul, Minnesota.
39:48I saw Walter Moody, for the first time, in his trial.
39:55And he never showed any emotion.
40:00I remember he had a desk pad in front of him.
40:03And he was just doing that office time on the pad.
40:07He just sat there, showing no sign of remorse.
40:12That was the only fact, that he showed no emotion at all.
40:17And under those circumstances, it was very interesting for me.
40:20Walter Moody killed more people than my brother.
40:24On June 28, after a three-week trial and 13 hours of deliberation, the jury found Walter Leroy Moody guilty on 71 federal charges.
40:48He was sentenced to seven life sentences.
40:52I started the job convinced that Walter Moody was a very brilliant man, but a complete psychopath.
41:01With no respect for anyone else.
41:04He was only interested in himself.
41:07And if he had any kind of inequality or disparity, then he would do whatever was necessary to address it.
41:15Without regard for how this might affect other people.
41:18Investigators believed that the NAACP targets were innocent victims whom Moody had used in his plan to get revenge on the appeals court.
41:30Vence is apparently the only person he was scaring the score with.
41:35And it all had to do with his obsession, with his path outside of his 1972 conviction to be a firefighter.
41:46Five years later, Moody was tried in Alabama for the murder of Judge Robert Vance and sentenced to death.
41:56He is currently on death row at Holman State Prison in Etmore, Alabama.
42:01I think Lloyd Irwin really broke up the case.
42:07That his memory of what happened in 1972 was the key point of investigation where it should be, in Walter Leroy Moody.
42:19Moody will never be free to walk the earth outside of U.S. Penitence.
42:27From that conviction until the day he died.
42:30I believe Walter Leroy Moody is one of the most dangerous people I have ever met.
42:36It's connected and it's finished.
