00:00And I did, and I really want to make them proud too.
00:09Brazilian version, Tempo Filmes, São Paulo
00:12The following story is true.
00:30The program includes dramatizations.
00:34This may not be suitable for some viewers.
00:39Some names have been changed.
00:48What do you think you're doing?
00:51Live if you need something.
00:54Could you throw me the ice, please?
00:57It can leave.
00:59March 29, 2009, Claypool, Virginia.
01:29Crimes of darkness.
01:35It's spring 2009.
01:38And dawn breaks in the quiet little town of Claypool Hill, Virginia.
01:43A place that holds a horrifying history.
01:50Emergency, how can I help?
01:52This is Mary from Pizza Plus in Claypool Hill.
01:55I just arrived and found the manager lying in a pool of blood.
01:59Okay.
02:00I want you to leave the area and not touch anything, okay?
02:03It's OK.
02:06I was in the narcotics division.
02:07We received a call from the captain at the time informing us about the homicide at Pizza Plus in Claypool Hill.
02:12I remember walking into the crime scene and seeing what had happened.
02:25I knew it would be something traumatic and very serious.
02:29I had never seen anything like it.
02:33And there, in the kitchen of that local pizzeria, they find the body of the 48-year-old manager, Valerie Lunney.
02:44The brutality of the crime scene was tremendous.
02:47There were pools of blood everywhere.
02:50There was blood in the pizza oven, there was blood in the cupboard and on the prep table.
02:55She was badly beaten.
03:00Certainly, there was trauma caused by an object, and there was a laceration in the throat and neck.
03:10Basically, where the killer almost managed to decapitate her.
03:17I found another victim.
03:19The second victim has been identified as Valerie Harvey's husband, aged 52.
03:31The other victim, Harvey, was found lying on his back at the back of the restaurant, very close to the door.
03:37His throat was cut.
03:38With the area cordoned off, investigators begin to analyze the crime scene.
03:49The biggest challenge is understanding what they find.
03:51When we looked at Harvey's body, his wallet was there and it was full of money.
03:57Not all the money was taken, and there was more money in his wallet than in the cash register.
04:04Neither their money nor their personal belongings were taken.
04:08If it had been a robbery, they would have taken everything.
04:12That was really strange.
04:13But that's not the only curious discovery.
04:18In the sink, we noticed a few drops of blood near the drain.
04:23We collected some samples and sent them to the forensic laboratory.
04:28The drops suggest that the killer was in a hurry to clean himself up.
04:32However, other clues suggest otherwise.
04:35It seemed rather strange that someone had mopped the floor all the way to the back door and then left the mop right next to it.
04:45Perhaps we have another weapon of crime here.
04:48Right next to the mop was a fire extinguisher that was covered in blood.
04:52It was hanging on the wall.
04:54Why would someone hit a person with a fire extinguisher and then hang them up again?
04:58When someone uses a weapon, it is usually thrown away.
05:00It was very strange that it was hung in the same place as always.
05:06This clue made us suspect a coworker, someone who knew the restaurant well, or someone who had worked there before.
05:17While police continue to analyze the crime scene for clues, local news outlets learn about the horrific crime.
05:24I can't believe it, seriously.
05:28It's just not possible.
05:30This was the reaction of the employees here at Pizza Plus after learning of the death of two coworkers.
05:36This is a rural area.
05:38So, as soon as one, two, three, four police cars started appearing in the parking lot,
05:45People realized that something bad had happened.
05:49So the news ended up spreading very quickly throughout the area.
05:54It's difficult to understand.
05:57He didn't deserve to die.
05:59Valerie didn't deserve to die.
06:02This hurts too much.
06:05All sorts of rumors have surfaced.
06:09You heard so much that you didn't know what to believe and what not to believe.
06:14Married for 29 years,
06:20Harvey and Valerie always called this little corner of southwest Virginia home.
06:25That's why their faces are so well-known in Claypool Hill.
06:29They were very well known for their work.
06:35And everyone from the church, when they went there, fell in love with them.
06:40They remarked that the two were the kindest and most compassionate people they had ever met.
06:44Indeed, Harvey, who is known among friends by his middle name Dean, and his wife Valerie have an incredibly strong bond.
06:54She loved romance novels.
06:56It didn't matter if they were hardcover or not.
06:59She read a lot.
07:00He really enjoyed collecting things.
07:03He collected comic books and also sticker albums, of football, baseball and things of that sort.
07:11We graduated in '78 and they got married in 1980.
07:16Whenever I saw Valerie and Dean, they were holding hands.
07:21They were playing with each other.
07:24Everyone knew those two.
07:25Valerie was very communicative and always had something nice to say.
07:31Harvey was kindness personified.
07:34He always exuded a great sense of calm.
07:37They were perfect, a perfect couple.
07:43After a year of marriage, in 1981, the Lunes had their first and only child, Christopher.
07:49When she found out she was having a boy, she said,
07:53I can't wait to have this baby, take him home, and hold him.
07:58And I said, you know what, this kid is going to be really spoiled.
08:01And she said, yes, because that's how I want him.
08:04In 1998, when Christopher was a teenager, Valerie got a job at Pizza Plus.
08:11Shortly after, Harvey joins her.
08:15I'd probably go crazy working with my husband.
08:20But it seemed that Valerie and Harvey wanted to be together.
08:25And they got along very well there.
08:30They were very honest and hardworking people.
08:33And they did everything they could to pay the bills and live as well as possible.
08:38I don't think anyone would consider them enemies.
08:45Harvey and Valerie Luney's gentle nature is what makes this double homicide all the more terrifying.
08:54Still in shock, Mary Fuller, the pizzeria employee who made the emergency call, sits down to talk with the police.
09:02Do you know anyone who might have done something like that to the Luneys?
09:07No.
09:09They got along well with everyone.
09:12Has Valerie ever scolded anyone?
09:15She could be tough sometimes.
09:18But she was always fair.
09:22There is a person...
09:24He doesn't work at Pizza Plus, he works at the car wash next door.
09:27At the car wash next to Pizza Plus, we had information that some illegal activities were taking place, that suspicious cars were parked there at night, possibly for drug trafficking.
09:40She explains that a man named Homer Smith used to go to the pizzeria to talk to Valerie.
09:46Valerie told me that she started to get scared of him.
09:50This news makes a certain amount of sense to the detectives.
09:56I felt it had been someone close to them because, from my experience, the damage that was done demonstrated that this person's rage was uncontrollable.
10:06You can come in.
10:10Sorry to interrupt, Chris Lani is here.
10:13Valerie and Harvey only had one son, Christopher Lani, who was almost 30 years old and living with them at the time.
10:22Notifying people about someone's death is one of the worst things you can do as a police officer.
10:26To make matters worse, the murder investigation doesn't allow the detectives time for Christopher to grieve his loss.
10:37Can we ask a few questions?
10:40Go ahead.
10:42You're living at your parents' house, right?
10:45Yes, but only temporarily.
10:47My wife and I separated a few months ago.
10:51Can you tell me what you were doing last night?
10:53Oh, nothing much.
10:57He told us he was at home, and there was no one else there.
11:01So he watched TV, fell asleep and...
11:05He woke up the next day.
11:07Were you worried when your parents didn't come home last night?
11:12They said they would stay out of town.
11:14That day, coincidentally, was their wedding anniversary.
11:17He said they planned to go to Gellenburg, Tennessee, for a celebratory trip.
11:25They would have been together for 29 years.
11:29Chris, I promise you.
11:31We'll do everything we can to find out who did this.
11:36I already know who it was.
11:37Chris said he knew who it was.
11:40Chris said he knew who it was.
11:41We get excited when we find a clue or when someone says,
11:44Ah, I know who it was. I can help you catch him.
11:47We needed to speak to this person because she was the last person to see Harvey and Valerie alive.
11:52In addition to being the gateway to the Appalachian Trail, Tazuel, Virginia, is known for its beautiful landscapes, close-knit community, and hospitality offered to travelers.
12:11Tazuel is located in a rural area.
12:16And around here, everyone knows everyone.
12:19Our neighbors are like family to us.
12:22So, wherever you go, everyone knows each other.
12:28But the charm of the small town, just 6 kilometers long, is what most attracts Harvey and Valerie Loney.
12:33So, when everyone finds out that the couple was brutally murdered, fear grows in the region.
12:46They told us how they found Valerie, how she was murdered, and how they killed Harvey.
12:54No one should die like that.
12:57The family was devastated. They didn't just lose one family member, they lost two at once.
13:03In my career, this must have been one of the worst crime scenes I've ever been involved in.
13:10Investigators are not surprised when Valerie Harvey's son, Chris, provides the name of a suspect in such a short time.
13:18Brian Lee.
13:22He and my mother didn't get along.
13:25And he was making the deliveries that night.
13:28Brian Lee was an employee of Pizza Plus.
13:31He was probably the last person to have seen Harvey and Valerie alive.
13:3516 hours after the murders.
13:38The police immediately questioned Brian Lee.
13:40Did they make a lot of money?
13:42We cannot discuss the facts of the case.
13:45Oh, okay. Of course. My bad.
13:48During Brian Lee's interrogation, his behavior seemed somewhat strange.
13:52He was very nervous, so he asked how much money had been taken.
13:57This certainly drew attention to his involvement.
14:02From what we know, you had some disagreements with Mrs. Loney.
14:06Some?
14:07Valerie was known as a rather strict boss.
14:12And we analyzed that.
14:13Perhaps someone had a problem with her, some kind of argument, and wanted revenge.
14:18Or she might have had a feud with Valerie.
14:21Perhaps those are the marks of Brian's bloody hand on the mop.
14:26He closed the restaurant with them that night.
14:29But since it was Sunday, Valerie had to stay late to finish the weekend paperwork.
14:36What did you do with the mop? Do you remember?
14:38Sure. I left it by the back door.
14:42After Brian cleaned the oven and the kitchen, he said he scrubbed the floor all the way out the back.
14:49What time was that?
14:51Ah... Around eleven, eleven fifteen, I think.
14:54Was there anyone else there when you left?
14:57Yes, Valerie and Harvey.
15:00And where did you go after work?
15:04Hmm... For a friend.
15:13While a police officer is sent to check Brian Lee's alibi, the detectives go to the car wash to investigate another lead.
15:21Eighteen hours after the murders.
15:23Homer Smith?
15:25I.
15:27Did you hear about the murders next door?
15:30Yes.
15:32We were talking to people who knew Valerie, and her name came up.
15:36So what?
15:39So we need to know what you were doing last night.
15:44Smith told police that he washed his car and then drove to Pizza Plus, but that he didn't go inside.
15:51So, you just stood there in the parking lot?
15:56Yes. And then he left.
15:59Homer Smith's story doesn't make much sense to the police.
16:02Luckily, there's a way to confirm it.
16:08With security camera footage from the car wash.
16:11Car Wash.
16:12It's him.
16:13Security footage from the car wash, which was next to the restaurant, showed that Homer parked his car in the parking lot but did not get out of the vehicle.
16:24Why would he just stand there like that?
16:28I have no idea.
16:30He stood there for a while and then left.
16:34Homer's behavior is suspicious, but not enough to accuse him of murder.
16:39However, the police have not yet ruled him out as a suspect.
16:45I think everyone was worried.
16:48Some people said they were keeping the doors locked.
16:51There were various speculations.
16:54People were worried because they didn't know if the person who did this was still in the area or if they had already left.
17:02What if it happened again?
17:04This is probably the fear of every police officer: not being able to take someone off the streets who has killed two people.
17:14We were inundated with leads. People were calling from the very beginning.
17:17Detective Hall.
17:21One of these clues comes from a common source.
17:24An inmate at Tazuel Penitentiary.
17:28Raymond Schuller was in our system because of drug trafficking.
17:33His name came up, he was questioned, and he provided information about some individuals who might be involved in the murder.
17:44Two days after the murders.
17:46He learned that there had been a robbery that ended in death.
17:49She started crying and saying that it wasn't supposed to... it wasn't supposed to have happened that way.
17:54In terms of credibility, Schuller doesn't have much.
17:58But could the prison informant be telling the truth?
18:02I don't want to be known as the person who killed my own father. But here I am.
18:12The worst nightmare.
18:13Most people wouldn't take care of a sociopath the way I did.
18:18It could be right next to you.
18:20You can spend your whole life with someone and still not know them or what they are capable of doing.
18:25I couldn't stop him.
18:28To!
18:29I wish my father were here.
18:31Living with an enemy.
18:32Tuesdays at 10:50 PM on Y.D.
18:35March 31st.
18:38Two days after Valerie and Harvey Looney were murdered, investigators in Tazuel, Virginia, are still searching for answers.
18:45In my career, this was the first serious double homicide.
18:52There were other murders in Tazuel, but this one was undoubtedly the most brutal and striking.
19:04The feeling of security changed drastically to a feeling that there was a killer on the loose.
19:10We had to lock the doors; the children couldn't go out anymore.
19:13People who normally went out alone started taking someone with them.
19:20While rumors continue to circulate in Claypool Hill, the police have added a few more suspects to their list.
19:28Besides local drug dealer Homer Smith and Pizza Plus employee Brian Lee, there's a trio that includes local waitress Michelle Daniels.
19:37Michelle Daniels
19:38She said it shouldn't have happened this way.
19:43When I asked her what she was talking about, she said that... she said that... she didn't kill them.
19:50I said, "What did you say? What are you talking about?"
19:53She said that... she said it was Jared and the rat.
19:56One of the guys' nickname is Rat.
19:59Mouse?
20:00He claimed that Michelle Daniels took the two individuals to Pizza Plus to commit a robbery and... and they returned covered in blood shortly afterward.
20:12She said they thought they had killed them.
20:15She said that wasn't supposed to happen, that they were only supposed to steal the place.
20:19Did they tell her that they killed the couple?
20:23That they killed them, that they fought with them.
20:28Believing there is some truth to the story from the prison informant, the detectives visit Michelle at work.
20:35She told someone that the robbery went wrong, that the people she took there had to kill someone.
20:42And that sparked our interest.
20:45We needed to talk to Michelle to find out if that was true or not.
20:50Three days after the murders.
20:52Hi, Michelle.
20:54What is it?
20:56Do you know these guys?
21:00I know, unfortunately.
21:02We have information about their involvement in the murders at Pizza Plus.
21:06I don't doubt it.
21:07We also heard that you took them to the pizzeria that night.
21:13What?
21:15She said she never said that to anyone about taking someone to Pizza Plus to commit murder.
21:26But a simple denial from someone known for being involved in Claypool's dark side isn't enough for the investigators.
21:33Mr. Williams?
21:36That.
21:38We have a search warrant signed by the judge.
21:41We went inside the house.
21:42One of the individuals was wanted.
21:50We searched the house to see if we could find any bags containing the money taken from the pizzeria.
21:55I found a knife.
22:11The investigators send the clue to a crime lab.
22:17However, six weeks later, the results show no link.
22:22This information ultimately led to nothing.
22:27And regarding Brian Lee, the coworker whom Chris Lunney is convinced killed his parents, his alibi is confirmed.
22:34With almost nothing left to work with, the police wonder if the coroner's report could provide any much-needed clues to the investigation.
22:46Valerie had defensive wounds on her wrists and hands.
22:53She had lacerations on her head, as well as a crack in her skull and a brain hemorrhage.
22:59Harvey Lunney's injuries tell a different story.
23:02There were no defensive wounds or any other type of injury, except for the one on his throat.
23:11He had a bruise around his neck and a laceration in his throat.
23:16The bruise around his neck indicated that he had been strangled.
23:20Surprisingly, the autopsy shows that the neck injuries were not the cause of death.
23:28Since he was actually fighting the assassin at the time, he ended up having a heart attack during the fight.
23:37Then we discovered that the tearing happened later.
23:40Unfortunately, the forensic report is unable to reveal much more information.
23:46The only result was that Valerie's DNA was found on the fire extinguisher.
23:52In the sink, there was a combination of Harvey's and Valerie's blood.
23:56It was very frustrating.
23:58We were placing our hopes on the forensic examination.
24:02And when it came back inconclusive, it was as if we had lost hope.
24:07On April 3, 2009, almost a week after the murders, the entire city gathered at the pizzeria to pay tribute.
24:21After the public viewing, Harvey and Valerie Lennon are buried.
24:26The day of Harvey and Valerie's funeral was one of the hardest days of my life.
24:32I was standing next to Valerie's coffin.
24:35Chris came over to me and put his hand on my shoulder.
24:39I asked him how he was doing and he said,
24:42Whoever did this, whoever they catch, will surely burn in hell.
24:47We had neighbors who showed up that we didn't even know.
24:53Everyone kind of wanted to be there to show that we could count on them.
25:03But right now, the only thing that would ease the pain of the family and friends of the Tunnel victims is answers.
25:11It is very unusual to have a mother and a father, a husband and wife, being mourned together.
25:21The two were buried, the family was very sad, it was devastating.
25:27They were trying to understand who did it and why.
25:33So we felt a lot of pressure.
25:35This was very important.
25:37Someone had to speak up for Valerie and Harvey.
25:40Someone had to find out who did this.
25:44Someone had to be punished for this.
25:47They were two people.
25:50They weren't just two numbers.
25:52There were two people.
25:57The public outcry intensifies the investigators' determination to find the killer.
26:03But, one by one, each suspect provides a concrete alibi, including the most recent one, Michelle Daniels.
26:11We checked her alibi and it was confirmed.
26:14So, we crossed her off the list of suspects.
26:17It was very frustrating to investigate that lead to the end and have it lead nowhere.
26:22All the resources and time were wasted, and we're back to square one.
26:29Worse than being back at square one.
26:32The investigation ends up stalling.
26:39Years passed without any new leads and no arrests.
26:42There were no new suspects.
26:44And that was very frustrating for the police, because people were still talking about the case.
26:50Family members called to see how we were doing, and they wanted to hear as soon as we caught the killer.
26:57I was frustrated with this case because I thought we would never find out who did it.
27:03As time passes, the determination to solve Claypool Hill's most notorious murders only grows.
27:13In the fall of 2012, Sheriff Brian Hyatt decides to assign Detective Michael Hall to the case full-time.
27:21We wanted to have someone who could analyze everything possible.
27:25Someone who could investigate from scratch and do nothing but try to solve this case.
27:31Hall decides to speak with the crime lab about the crucial evidence found at the crime scene.
27:37Could you take another look at that for me?
27:40The items were sent back for analysis.
27:43It cost.
27:44To see if we could find any contact DNA.
27:48While waiting for the results, Detective Hall thinks of another plan.
27:52I had gone to a seminar in Virginia Beach some time ago, where an FBI agent from the Behavioral Science Unit gave a presentation.
28:02We'll send everything we have and see what they can tell us.
28:08A few weeks later, the FBI returns with a profile.
28:12They say the killer is probably a man, between 20 and 30 years old, with only a high school education.
28:19The person would likely be familiar with how the restaurant operated.
28:25This aligns with the initial theories put forward at the crime scene.
28:30But other information in the report sheds new light on the case.
28:37They said it was someone who had a personal problem.
28:40Specifically because they noticed that the person's anger was entirely directed at Valerie.
28:47Three years after the murders.
28:56In the spring of 2012, three years had passed since the murders of Harvey and Valerie Looney.
29:03However, the small town of Claypool Rio, with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants, has not forgotten this crime.
29:12With each passing day, the tension and unrest throughout the community only increased.
29:19Because this wasn't solved, the killer is still at large.
29:25It's even more frustrating to have to talk to the family and say, we have nothing new to report.
29:31I tried not to judge.
29:34I know I spoke with one of the sisters, and she was still lost.
29:40She told me they had no news, that they knew nothing.
29:44But everyone was talking and everyone was speculating about one thing or another.
29:51What the people of Claypool Rio don't know is that investigators are now armed with new information from the FBI.
30:02With this information in hand, Detective Hall speaks to the family again, hoping to find something or someone.
30:09that the police may have missed at the beginning of the investigation.
30:14Hi, Chris.
30:16Hey.
30:17I just wanted you to know that I've been assigned full-time to your parents' case.
30:22The FBI is involved and we're not giving up on this case.
30:25That's great.
30:26He was very cooperative during questioning and in making contact.
30:30But aside from the yes and no answers and general information, he didn't say much.
30:39What a beautiful pickup truck!
30:42Yes, thanks.
30:44Okay, good. Let's keep in touch.
30:47If you remember anything we might have missed, give me a call, okay?
30:51That's right, sure.
30:53This strange encounter with Chris Looney causes Detective Hall to reconsider his initial statement.
31:01I spoke with him.
31:03Several times.
31:05We went very slowly and carefully, trying to be meticulous.
31:10But of course he was grieving, because of everything he was going through.
31:15But, it's...
31:17After a while, we started investigating his whereabouts.
31:21What he did the day before, the night before.
31:25And we offer a polygraph test.
31:28What he did.
31:30I don't know.
31:31Something about him still bothers me.
31:34He also inherited $250,000 from their life insurance policy.
31:39That's a very good reason.
31:41But what about the polygraph test?
31:43He passed.
31:45But it was right on the edge.
31:47It wasn't proof that he had done anything.
31:50But it started to look suspicious.
31:52Detective Hall decides it's time to talk to the people who knew the Looneys best.
31:59Perhaps they could shed some light on Chris's relationship with his parents, especially his mother.
32:05It begins with Valerie's friend and Chris's godmother, Lynn Clark.
32:11Come in, detective.
32:15Lynn tells Detective Hall that, although she believes Chris loved his parents,
32:19There were signs that things were not going well between him and his mother in the weeks and months leading up to the crime.
32:26We were having lunch together one day.
32:30And Valerie had bruises.
32:33I told you, Valerie, I know it wasn't Harvey who did this to you.
32:37She rubbed her arm and said it hadn't been.
32:41I asked who it was.
32:42She said, well, you know how it is? We bump into things.
32:46And I said, no, Valerie, you didn't bump into anything like that.
32:51According to Lynn, Valerie eventually admits that Chris assaulted her.
32:57I told you, Val, if Chris is doing this, we need to get him help.
33:03And we're going to do it now.
33:04She said, Lynn, I think it's too late.
33:07And he won't accept it if we try.
33:09I couldn't just let it go, then.
33:12I confronted him.
33:13And he basically said, you know, my mother makes up these things.
33:18I'm not mean to her.
33:19I love my mother.
33:21He turned his back and walked away.
33:24However, on more than one occasion I saw bruises that she shouldn't have had.
33:30With this new information, Detective Hall's suspicions are confirmed.
33:35Chris had a bad relationship with his mother.
33:38He needed money.
33:40Ah, he knew the restaurant well.
33:43He became our prime suspect.
33:46Although Chris is the best and only suspect, they have no proof that he has anything to do with the crime.
33:54And the fact that he is the son of the victims makes it even more difficult to prove.
33:58Since Chris was Harvey and Valerie's biological son, there was no test that could differentiate his samples from theirs.
34:09Because their genetic profiles are very similar.
34:11There was blood in the sink and also on the scouring pad.
34:17A mixture of blood.
34:19So we couldn't rule him out.
34:21But it wasn't possible to say for sure that it was Chris either.
34:27The police only have one choice.
34:29They have to try to get Chris to confess.
34:32Chris, hi. It's Detective Hall.
34:36We have news regarding your parents' case.
34:39We wanted to keep you informed.
34:41Could you come to the police station?
34:43He agreed to come and talk to us.
34:47We felt that Chris might stop cooperating.
34:52And that this was our last chance.
34:54It was all or nothing.
34:55This had to work out.
34:58To increase the chances of success,
35:00They hire a professional interrogator to conduct the interrogation.
35:05We don't interrogate potential murderers all the time.
35:08So we wanted to make sure that this was done right by the family and the community.
35:13On the day of the interrogation, they encounter a problem.
35:17He cancelled the appointment.
35:18He said, sorry.
35:19I can't go.
35:20I don't have a driver's license.
35:21And now there's no one to take care of my daughter.
35:25The investigators offer Chris a ride to the interrogation.
35:29and someone to take care of his daughter.
35:31We knew that if things didn't go as planned,
35:35We would still have a case that could remain unsolved for many years.
35:39To their surprise, Chris accepts the offer.
35:45We watched the session in another room with the prosecution lawyers.
35:48and the Virginia state police.
35:50To avoid arousing his suspicion, Sergeant Turley teams up with interrogator Rich Byton.
35:57I know you wrote a testimonial and I took a look at it.
36:03But why don't we talk about the previous day?
36:08We were waiting to see what would happen if that day came to nothing.
36:12Or whether that would be the culmination of everything we had been working so hard on.
36:21Ten premieres.
36:23Ten nights in a row.
36:25At ten o'clock at night.
36:27Cruel stories.
36:29You have to be very cold and heartless to do something like that.
36:32Remarkable stories.
36:34I'm still very shocked by all of this.
36:36True stories.
36:37It was a sick act.
36:41It was one of the most violent deaths I've ever witnessed in my entire life.
36:44It starts on the tenth of December.
36:47At ten o'clock at night.
36:49Whitey.
36:51February 13th.
36:53Almost four years after the murders of Harvey and Valerie Looney.
36:57The residents of Claypool Hill are still haunted by the idea.
37:01that a cold-blooded killer is loose among them.
37:05This weighs on you over time, because you give it your all to try and solve the case.
37:11And people keep saying it will never be resolved.
37:17What few people know is that the police are keeping an eye on a new suspect.
37:22Chris, the only son of the Lannins.
37:24Why don't we talk about the day before his parents were murdered?
37:31I went to work in the morning and left at noon, because I only work part-time on Saturdays.
37:38Chris recounted everything that happened during that period and answered all the questions.
37:44No one needs to talk to the police.
37:46He could have invoked his right to remain silent.
37:49He could have stood up and said, "I don't want to talk to you."
37:52Slowly, investigators uncovered inconsistencies in what he said over the years.
38:00including the wedding anniversary trip that Chris claims his parents were planning to take.
38:04You'd be surprised if I told you that when I spoke to the dentist,
38:10He told me that he and his father had planned to go fishing that day?
38:15And his father never mentioned to him that he couldn't go fishing because he was going on a trip with his mother.
38:25The investigators told him, "You told one thing that's a lie, you told another thing that's also a lie."
38:32So he's not telling the truth about the murders.
38:34The investigators also explain to Chris that he may have left traces of DNA behind.
38:41Even if people were wearing gloves, she may still have left DNA at the scene.
38:48Did you know that?
38:50So, it's something called contact DNA.
38:54Okay? So even wearing gloves, if my arm scraped against the counter, say,
39:01I would have left skin cells on that counter.
39:04With all the cards on the table, investigator Byton puts pressure on Chris.
39:12Come on Chris, tell me what happened.
39:15Speak up.
39:17You need to help yourself.
39:19You have to help your daughter.
39:21Talk to me.
39:25I'm not going to lie to you.
39:28Tell me what happened, go on.
39:30It was an accident.
39:32What's that?
39:33It was an accident.
39:35Okay. So, how did the accident happen?
39:38He whispered that it was an accident.
39:40A silence fell over the room.
39:44Chris admits he went to see his parents at Pizza Plus on the night of the murders.
39:49and had an argument with his mother.
39:52What did you go there to talk to her about?
39:54Money.
39:56Okay, so what did you need the money for?
39:58Chris had some fines and court costs to pay.
40:00And if he didn't pay by a certain date, he would go to jail.
40:07When he asks his mother for money, she refuses.
40:10And he gets angry.
40:11He gets angry.
40:12That's when I went to my mother and cut her.
40:19Okay, and what did you use to cut her?
40:23My knife.
40:25And where did you cut your mother?
40:27On the neck.
40:28On the neck.
40:34Then his father came in and he said he grabbed his father by the neck, putting him in a chokehold.
40:40And he said that he fell, and we believe that's when he had the heart attack.
40:45And that's when I went back inside.
40:51He went back inside to do what?
40:55To ensure that my mother wasn't...
40:58moving.
41:00Okay. And what did you use for that?
41:03I hit her with a fire extinguisher.
41:07I had to be professional.
41:11But deep down I was thinking...
41:13I don't believe it. Why would you do that to your parents?
41:17After hitting her with a fire extinguisher, what did you do with it?
41:21I put it back.
41:23Where did you put it back?
41:25Where it was hanging.
41:27He told things that only the murderer would know.
41:30And as I was leaving, I went...
41:34scrubbing the floor.
41:37Scrubbing?
41:39The... footprints.
41:41I understood.
41:43Is there anything else...?
41:45That I need to know in order to help you...
41:49What haven't you said yet?
41:53I'm very sorry.
41:56It is true.
41:57So in the end...
41:59He collapsed and cried.
42:01He realized what he had done.
42:06For everyone who worked on the case...
42:09Chris's confession means the murder investigation is finally over.
42:14There was euphoria, but...
42:16There was also sadness upon learning that...
42:18The couple's own son killed them in such a brutal way.
42:21When the sheriff announces that Chris is in custody for the murder of his parents...
42:28The Luneis' friends and loved ones are devastated once again.
42:33Christopher Dean Lunei, 32, was arrested on Wednesday night.
42:37He is the only child of Harvey and Valerie Lunei.
42:40After rumors shook an entire community haunted by grief...
42:45The arrest of a family member horrifies everyone.
42:48It's been very difficult, you know?
42:51After speaking with the police department...
42:54I...
42:56I called the restaurant...
42:59Because the person who found the bodies needed to know.
43:04Son accused of homicide.
43:07On the day he was arrested...
43:09All day long I just kept thinking...
43:11that the last face Vell saw...
43:14It was her son, whom she loved from the bottom of her heart.
43:18It was the last face she saw.
43:23It must be difficult to find your mother in that state...
43:27Imagine doing that to her.
43:31This woman gave him life.
43:32She gave him life, and he took hers.
43:39Chris Lunei pleads guilty to both charges...
43:43aggravated homicide in exchange for two life sentences.
43:47The prosecution decides not to seek the death penalty in part...
43:51at the request of Harvey and Valerie's family.
43:55I really don't believe it...
43:58that I was so close to a cold-blooded killer.
44:02I don't believe.
44:06I think that's true, and we never really know the people around us.
44:10We've already accepted what happened to them.
44:13And I know that in the first year...
44:18after their death...
44:19their death.
44:20Goodbye.
44:21Goodbye.
44:22Goodbye.
