00:00And I did, and I really want to make them proud too.
00:09Brazilian version, Tempo Filmes, São Paulo
00:19The 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?
00:56It can leave.
00:58March 29, 2009, Claypool, Virginia.
01:28Crimes of darkness.
01:33It's spring 2009.
01:37And dawn breaks in the quiet little town of Claypool, Rio, Virginia.
01:42A place that holds a horrifying history.
01:50Emergency, how can I help?
01:52This is Mary from Pizza Plus in Claypool, Rio.
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.
02:05I was in the narcotics division.
02:07We received a call from the captain at the time, informing us about the single homicide at Pizza Plus in Claypool, Rio.
02:20I remember walking into the crime scene and seeing what had happened.
02:25I knew it would be something traumatic and very serious.
02:28I 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.
02:57She 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.
03:24The second victim has been identified as Valerie's husband, Harvey, 52.
03:30The other victim, Harvey, was found lying on his back at the back of the restaurant, very close to the door.
03:36His throat was cut.
03:43With the area cordoned off, investigators begin to analyze the crime scene.
03:48The biggest challenge is understanding what they find.
03:52When 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.
04:11That was really strange.
04:14But 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.
04:27The 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 there.
04:42next to her.
04:45Perhaps we have another weapon of crime here.
04:47Right next to the mop was a fire extinguisher that was covered in blood.
04:51It was hanging on the wall.
04:53Why would someone hit a person with a fire extinguisher and then hang them up again?
04:57When someone uses a weapon, it is usually thrown away.
05:01It was very strange that it was hung in the same place as always.
05:06This clue made us suspect a coworker or someone who knew the restaurant well or had been there before.
05:13I worked there.
05:17While police continue to analyze the crime scene for clues, local news outlets are learning about the crime.
05:24Horrifying.
05:25I can't believe it, seriously.
05:27It's just not possible.
05:29This was the reaction of the employees here at Pizza Plus after learning of the death of two coworkers.
05:35This is a rural area, so as soon as one, two, three, four police cars started showing up in the parking lot,
05:44People realized that something bad had happened.
05:49So the news ended up spreading very quickly throughout the area.
05:53It'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.
06:17Married for 29 years,
06:19Harvey and Valerie always called this little corner of southwest Virginia home.
06:24That's why their faces are so well-known in Claypool Hill.
06:30They were very well known for their work.
06:34And everyone from the church fell in love with them whenever they went there.
06:39They remarked that the two were the kindest and most compassionate people they had ever met.
06:45Indeed, Harvey, who is known among friends by his middle name Dean, and his wife Valerie, have a
06:51Incredibly strong bond.
06:52She loved romance novels.
06:55It didn't matter if they were hardcover or not.
06:58She read a lot.
07:01He really enjoyed collecting things.
07:03He collected comic books and also sticker albums, of football, baseball and things of that sort.
07:10We graduated in '78 and they got married in 1980.
07:15Whenever I saw Valerie and Dean, they were holding hands.
07:20They were playing with each other.
07:23Everyone 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.
07:42After a year of marriage, in 1981, the Lúneis family had their first and only child, Christopher.
07:50When 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.
07:57And I said, you know what, this kid is going to be really messed up.
08:00And 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.
08:14I'd probably go crazy working with my husband.
08:19But it seemed that Valerie and Harvey wanted to be together.
08:24And they got along very well there.
08:29They 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.
08:44Harvey and Valerie Lunei'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
09:01police.
09:03Do you know anyone who might have done something like that to the Luneis?
09:07No.
09:08They got along well with everyone.
09:12Has Valerie ever scolded anyone?
09:15She could be tough sometimes.
09:17But 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.
09:34Suspicious cars were parked there at night, possibly for drug trafficking.
09:39She 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.
09:51This news makes a certain amount of sense to the detectives.
09:55I felt it had been someone close to them, because, from my experience, the damage that was done demonstrated that...
10:04This person's rage was uncontrollable.
10:09You can come in.
10:10Sorry to interrupt, Chris Lunei is here.
10:13Valerie and Harvey only had one son, Christopher Lunei, who was almost 30 years old and lived
10:20I was 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.
10:28To make matters worse, the murder investigation doesn't allow detectives time for Christopher to grieve his death.
10:36loss.
10:36Can we ask a few questions?
10:39Go ahead.
10:41You're living at your parents' house, right?
10:44Yes, but only temporarily.
10:46My wife and I separated a few months ago.
10:50Can you tell me what you were doing last night?
10:54Oh, nothing much.
10:56He told us he was at home, and there was no one else there.
11:00So he watched TV, fell asleep, and 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.
11:13That day, coincidentally, was their wedding anniversary.
11:18He said they planned to go to Gellenborg, Tennessee, for a celebratory trip.
11:25They would have been together for 29 years.
11:28Chris, I promise you.
11:31We'll do everything we can to find out who did this.
11:35I already know who it was.
11:38Chris said he knew who it was.
11:40We get excited when we find a clue or when someone says, "Ah, I know who it was."
11:45I can help you catch it.
11:47We needed to speak to this person because she was the last person to see Harvey and Valerie alive.
11:58In addition to being the gateway to the Appalachian Trail, Tazwell, Virginia, is a place known for its beautiful scenery.
12:05beautiful.
12:06Its close-knit community and the hospitality offered to travelers.
12:13Tazwell is located in a rural area.
12:15And around here, everyone knows everyone.
12:19Our neighbors are like family to us.
12:21So, wherever you go, everyone knows each other.
12:27But the charm of the small town, just 6 kilometers long, is what attracts Harvey and Valerie Loney the most.
12:37So, 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.
12:59They 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's son, Harvey Chris, provides the name of a suspect in such a case.
13:17short time.
13:20Brian Lee.
13:22He and my mother didn't get along.
13:24And he was making the deliveries that night.
13:28Brian Lee was an employee of Pizza Plus.
13:30He was probably the last person to have seen Harvey and Valerie alive.
13:3416 hours after the murders.
13:37The police immediately questioned Brian Lee.
13:40Did they make a lot of money?
13:41We cannot discuss the facts of the case.
13:45Oh, okay, of course. My bad.
13:48During Brian Lee's interrogation, his behavior seemed a bit strange.
13:52He was very nervous, so he asked how much money had been taken.
13:57This certainly drew attention to his involvement.
14:01From what we know, you had some disagreements with Mrs. Loney.
14:07Some?
14:08Valerie was known as a rather strict boss.
14:11And we analyzed that.
14:13Perhaps someone had a problem with her, some kind of argument, and wanted revenge.
14:17Or she might have had a feud with Valerie.
14:20Perhaps those are the marks of Brian's bloody hand on the mop.
14:25He closed the restaurant with them that night.
14:29But since it was Sunday, Valerie had to stay late to finish the weekend paperwork.
14:35What did you do with the mop? Do you remember?
14:37Sure. And I left it by the back door.
14:41After Brian cleaned the oven and the kitchen, he said he scrubbed the floor all the way out the back.
14:48What time was that?
14:51Around 11, 11 and 15 I think.
14:54Was there anyone else there when you left?
14:57Yes, Valerie and Harvey.
15:00And where did you go after work?
15:04For a friend.
15:12While a police officer is sent to check Brian Lee's alibi, the detectives go to the car wash to...
15:18investigate another lead.
15:20Eighteen hours after the murders.
15:23Homer Smith?
15:24I.
15:27Did you hear about the murders next door?
15:29Yes.
15:31We were talking to people who knew Valerie, and her name came up.
15:35So what?
15:38So we need to know what you were doing last night.
15:44Smith tells police that he washed his car and then drove to Pizza Plus, but that he didn't...
15:50He even got inside.
15:51So, you just stood there in the parking lot?
15:56Yes.
15:56And then he left.
15:59Homer Smith's story doesn't make much sense to the police.
16:04Luckily, there's a way to confirm it.
16:08With security camera footage from the car wash.
16:12It's him.
16:14Security footage from the car wash, which was next to the restaurant, showed that Homer stopped his car.
16:21He was in the parking lot, but he didn't get out of the vehicle.
16:25Why would he just stand there like that?
16:28I have no idea.
16:30He stood there for a while and then left.
16:33Homer's behavior is suspicious, but not enough to accuse him of murder.
16:40However, the police have not yet ruled him out as a suspect.
16:44I think everyone was worried.
16:47I heard people saying they were keeping the doors locked.
16:51There were various speculations.
16:53People were worried because they didn't know if the person who did this was still in the area or if they had already...
16:59He had left.
17:01What if it happened again?
17:03This is probably the fear of every police officer: not being able to take someone off the streets who has killed two people.
17:13We were inundated with leads. People were calling from the very beginning.
17:19Detective Hall.
17:20One of these clues comes from an unusual source.
17:23An inmate at Tazuel Penitentiary.
17:28Raymond Schuller was in our system because of drug trafficking.
17:32His name came up, he was questioned, and he provided information about some individuals who might be involved in the murder.
17:43Two 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 happen that way.
17:53In terms of credibility, Schuller doesn't have much.
17:58But could the prison informant be telling the truth?
18:05I don't want to be known as the person who killed my own father.
18:10But here I am.
18:13Most people wouldn't take care of a sociopath the way I did.
18:18You can spend your whole life with someone and still not know them or who they are.
18:23capable of doing.
18:25I couldn't stop him.
18:28To!
18:29I wish my father were here.
18:30Living with an enemy.
18:32Tuesdays at 10:50 PM, at IT.
18:36March 31st.
18:37Two days after Valerie and Harvey Looney were murdered, investigators in Tazuel, Virginia, are still searching for answers.
18:46In my career, this was the first serious double homicide.
18:51There were other murders in Tazuel, but this one was undoubtedly the most brutal and striking.
19:03The 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 bringing someone along.
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...
19:35Local waitress, Michelle Daniels.
19:39She said it shouldn't have happened this way.
19:43When I asked her what she was talking about, she said she didn't kill them.
19:50I said, "What did you say? What are you talking about?"
19:52She said it was Jared and the Rat.
19:56One of the guys' nickname is Rat.
19:58Mouse?
20:00He claimed that Michelle Daniels took the two individuals to Pizza Plus to commit a robbery and...
20:08And they returned covered in blood soon after.
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.
20:41somebody.
20:43That 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.
20:53What is it?
20:55Do you know these guys?
20:59I know, unfortunately.
21:01We have information about their involvement in the murders at Pizza Plus.
21:05I don't doubt it.
21:07We also heard that you took them to the pizzeria that night.
21:12What?
21:15She said she never said that thing she never said to anyone about taking someone to Pizza Plus to commit a crime.
21:21murder.
21:25But a simple denial from someone known for dabbling in Claypool's dark side isn't enough to...
21:32the investigators.
21:34Mr. Williams?
21:36That.
21:37We have a search warrant signed by the judge.
21:41We went inside the house.
21:42One of the individuals was wanted.
21:49We searched the house to see if we could find any bags containing the money taken from the pizzeria.
22:05I 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 what about Brian Lee, the coworker Chris Lunney is convinced killed his parents, his alibi?
22:33It's confirmed.
22:38With almost nothing left to work with, the police wonder if the coroner's report could possibly provide any clues.
22:45necessary for the investigation.
22:48Valerie had defensive wounds on her wrists and hands.
22:52She had lacerations on her head, as well as a crack in her skull and a brain hemorrhage.
23:01Harvey Lunney's injuries tell a different story.
23:05There 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.
23:22Surprisingly, 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.
23:41Unfortunately, the forensic report is unable to reveal much more information.
23:47The 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.
23:59We were placing our hopes on the forensic examination.
24:02And when it came back inconclusive, it was as if we had lost hope.
24:09On April 3, 2009, almost a week after the murders, the entire city gathered at the pizzeria to...
24:16to pay homage.
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.
24:31I was standing beside 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, whoever did this, whoever they catch, is definitely going to get burned.
24:46In hell.
24:48We 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.
25:02But right now, the only thing that would ease the pain of the family and friends of the Tunnel victims is answers.
25:10It is very unusual to have a mother and a father, a husband and wife, being mourned together.
25:20The two were buried, the family was very sad, it was devastating.
25:27They were trying to understand who did it and why.
25:32So 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.
25:48They were two people.
25:50They weren't just two numbers.
25:52There were two people.
25:56The 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.
26:38Years 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.
26:56I was frustrated with this case because I thought we would never find out who did it.
27:04As time passes, the determination to solve Claypool Hill's most notorious murders only grows.
27:12In 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 that was 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.
27:53I had gone to a seminar in Virginia Beach some time ago, where an FBI agent from the Unit of
28:00Behavioral Science gave a presentation.
28:03We'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.
28:26This 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.
28:41Specifically because they noticed that the person's anger was entirely directed at Valerie.
28:52Three years after the murders.
28:55In the spring of 2012, three years had passed since the murders of Harvey and Valerie Looney.
29:05However, the small town of Claypool Hill, with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants, has not forgotten this crime.
29:13With each passing day, the tension and unrest throughout the community only increased.
29:19Because this wasn't solved, the killer is still at large.
29:24It's even more frustrating to have to talk to the family and say, we have nothing new to report.
29:30I 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.
29:43But everyone was talking and everyone was speculating about one thing or another.
29:52What the people of Claypool Hill don't know
29:55The investigators are now armed with new information from the FBI.
30:01With this information in hand, Detective Hall resumes contact with the family.
30:05hoping to find something or someone
30:08that the police may have missed at the beginning of the investigation.
30:14Hi, Chris.
30:15Hey.
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 the general information,
30:34He 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?
30:50It's true?
30:51Of course.
30:54This 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.
31:09But of course he was grieving because of everything he was going through.
31:15But, it's...
31:16After a while, we started investigating his whereabouts.
31:20What he did the day before, the night before.
31:24And we offer a polygraph test.
31:28What he did.
31:29I 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, but it started to seem suspicious.
31:53Detective 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.
32:10Come in, detective.
32:14Lynn tells Detective Hall that, although she believes Chris loved his parents, there were signs that things...
32:20Things 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 and Valerie had bruises on her.
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.
32:43She said, well, you know how it is? We bump into things.
32:46I said, no, Valerie, you didn't bump into anything like that.
32:51According to Lynn, Valerie eventually admits that Chris assaulted her.
32:58I told you, Val, if Chris is doing this, we need to get him help.
33:03And we're going to do it now.
33:05She said, Lynn, I think it's too late.
33:07And he won't accept it if we try.
33:10I 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.
33:40He 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 it.
33:52related to crime.
33:53And the fact that he is the son of the victims makes it even more difficult to prove.
33:59Since Chris was Harvey and Valerie's biological son, there was no test that could differentiate the samples.
34:07of him, of the two.
34:08Because their genetic profiles are very similar.
34:12There was blood in the sink and also on the scouring pad.
34:17A mixture of blood.
34:18So we couldn't rule him out.
34:20But it wasn't possible to say for sure that it was Chris either.
34:26The police only have one choice.
34:29They have to try to get Chris to confess.
34:33Chris, hi.
34:34It'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.
34:51And that this was our last chance.
34:54It was all or nothing.
34:55This had to work out.
34:58To increase their chances of success, they hire a professional interrogator to conduct the interrogation.
35:04We 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.
35:16He cancelled the appointment.
35:18He said, "Sorry, I can't go, I don't have a driver's license and now there's no one to take care of my daughter."
35:25The investigators offer Chris a ride to the interrogation and someone to look after his daughter.
35:31We knew that if things didn't go as planned, we would still have a case that could remain unsolved for...
35:37many years.
35:38To their surprise, Chris accepts the offer.
35:44We watched from another room, with the prosecution lawyers and the Virginia state police.
35:51To avoid arousing his suspicion, Sergeant Turley teams up with interrogator Rich Byton.
35:56I 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, whether that day would amount to nothing or if that would be the climax.
36:14of all that we were working so hard for.
36:2010 stars, 10 nights in a row, at 10 pm.
36:27Cruel stories.
36:28You have to be very cold and heartless to do something like that.
36:31Remarkable stories.
36:32I'm still very shocked by all of this.
36:35True stories.
36:38It was a sick act.
36:40It was one of the most violent deaths I've ever witnessed in my entire life.
36:44It starts on October 10th, at 10 PM.
36:48Whitey.
36:51February 13th.
36:52Almost four years after the murders of Harvey and Valerie Looney.
36:56The residents of Claypool Hill are still haunted by the idea that a cold-blooded killer is loose among them.
37:04This weighs on you over time.
37:06Because you give it your all to try and solve the case.
37:10And 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.
37:21Chris, the only son of the Lannins.
37:24Why don't we talk about the day before his parents were murdered?
37:30I went to work in the morning and left at noon because I only work half-days on Saturdays.
37:37Chris recounted everything that happened during that period and answered all the questions.
37:43No one needs to talk to the police.
37:46He could have invoked his right to remain silent.
37:48He could have stood up and said, "I don't want to talk to you."
37:54Slowly, investigators are uncovering inconsistencies in what he said as the years go by.
37:59Including the wedding anniversary trip that Chris claims his parents were planning to take.
38:05You'd be surprised if I told you that...
38:08When I spoke to the dentist, he told me that he and his father had planned to go fishing that day.
38:15Uh-huh.
38:17And his father never mentioned to him that he couldn't go fishing because he was going on a trip with his mother.
38:24The investigators told him, "You told one thing that's a lie, and then you told another thing that's also a lie."
38:31So, he's not telling the truth about the murders.
38:35The 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.
38:47Did you know that?
38:49Uh-huh.
38:50So, it's something called contact DNA.
38:54Okay?
38:54So, even wearing gloves, if my arm scraped against the counter, say, I would have left skin cells on that counter.
39:06With all the cards on the table, investigator Byton puts pressure on Chris.
39:12Come on, Chris. Tell me what happened. Tell me now. You need to help yourself. You have to help your
39:19daughter.
39:21Talk to me.
39:25I'm not going to lie to you. Tell me what happened, please.
39:30It was an accident.
39:31What's that?
39:33It was an accident.
39:35Okay. So, how did the accident happen?
39:37He whispered that it was an accident. A silence fell over the room.
39:44Chris admits that he went to see his parents at Pizza Plus on the night of the murders and had an argument with her.
39:51mother.
39:51What did you go there to talk to her about?
39:54Money.
39:55Okay, so what did you need the money for?
39:57Chris had some fines and court costs. And if he didn't pay them by a certain date, he would go to jail.
40:04chain.
40:06When he asks his mother for money, she refuses. And he gets angry.
40:13That'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?
40:28On the neck.
40:33Then 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.
40:46And that's when I went back inside.
40:50He went back inside to do what?
40:55To ensure that my mother wasn't...
40:58Moving.
41:01Okay. And what did you use for that?
41:04I hit her with a fire extinguisher.
41:07I had to be professional.
41:10But deep down I was thinking...
41:12I don't believe it. Why would you do that to your parents?
41:16After hitting her with a fire extinguisher, what did you do with it?
41:21I put it back.
41:22Where did you put it back?
41:24Where it was hanging.
41:26He told things that only the murderer would know.
41:31And as I was leaving, I went...
41:34Scrubbing the floor.
41:36Scrubbing?
41:38To the...
41:39Footprints.
41:41I understood.
41:42Is there anything else...?
41:44That I need to know in order to help you...
41:49What haven't you said yet?
41:53I'm very sorry.
41:55It is true.
41:57So in the end...
41:58He collapsed and cried.
42:01He realized what he had done.
42:05For everyone who worked on the case...
42:08Chris's confession means the murder investigation is finally over.
42:13There was euphoria, but...
42:15There was also sadness upon learning that...
42:17The couple's own son killed them in such a brutal way.
42:23When the sheriff announces that Chris is in custody for the murder of his parents...
42:27The Looneys' friends and loved ones are devastated once again.
42:33Christopher Dean Looney, 32, was arrested on Wednesday night.
42:37He is the only child of Harvey and Valerie Looney.
42:40After rumors shook an entire community haunted by grief...
42:44The arrest of a family member horrifies everyone.
42:48It's been very difficult, you know?
42:50After speaking with the police department...
42:54I...
42:56I called the restaurant.
43:00Because the person who found the bodies needed to know.
43:04Son accused of homicide.
43:07On the day he was arrested...
43:08All day long I just kept thinking...
43:10The last face Bel saw...
43:13It was her son, whom she loved from the bottom of her heart.
43:18It was the last face she saw.
43:22It must be difficult to find your mother in that state...
43:26Imagine doing that to her.
43:30This woman gave him life.
43:32She gave him life, and he took it from her.
43:39Chris Looney pleads guilty to two counts of first-degree murder...
43:44In exchange for two life sentences.
43:47The prosecution decides not to seek the death penalty in part...
43:50At the request of Harvey and Valerie's family.
43:55I really don't believe it...
43:57I was so close...
43:59From a cold-blooded killer.
44:01I don't believe.
44:05You think it's true, and we never really know the people around us.
44:10We've already accepted what happened to them.
44:14And I know that in the first year...
44:18After their death...
44:19Goodbye.
