00:01On October 25, 1978, the tranquility of the small town of Rosemad, in County...
00:09Kearney, in Los Angeles, California, was brutally interrupted.
00:13That morning, the local police received an urgent call and went to an apartment.
00:19A modest place, where a mother, overcome with anguish, waited at the door.
00:23Ellen Wolley, her heart heavy, could barely articulate what she had found.
00:30Just the day before, she was talking to her daughter, Tana Wolley, a bright and bright young woman.
00:36full of dreams.
00:38Now, upon entering the apartment, he was confronted with a scene that defied explanation.
00:45Tana, only 20 years old, lay lifeless on her bed.
00:50The impact of the discovery reverberated throughout the community of Rosemad, a place where crimes...
00:56They were so violent, they were unimaginable.
00:59Neighbors, friends, and family were stunned, unable to comprehend how such a tragedy could have occurred.
01:06How cruel such a young woman could befall.
01:11Despite the tireless efforts of the police, answers to that heinous crime would take time.
01:17It took more than two decades to emerge.
01:20During that time, the case passed through several detectives, was filed away and forgotten, until
01:26that a new generation of investigators reopened the archives and found a crucial clue,
01:32ignored by everyone who had worked on the case previously.
01:37Tana Wolley was born on July 19, 1958, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California.
01:44But it was in the quiet town of Rosemad, in County Kern, that she grew up and built her memories.
01:51Daughter of William Price and Ellen Wolley, Tana was the eldest child in a loving family that, over time, received
01:58three brothers.
02:00From an early age, the young girl demonstrated a natural sense of responsibility, caring for her younger siblings with affection and dedication.
02:08Her father was a test manager at the local Air Force base, and her mother was an administrative employee at the secondary school of
02:16Rosemad,
02:17guaranteeing a family a comfortable life, providing not only for material needs,
02:23but also offering emotional support and constant attention to the four children.
02:28Tana grew up in an environment that valued education and community engagement.
02:33shaping her into a charismatic, cheerful, and determined young woman.
02:38During her adolescence, she stood out for her contagious energy and her commitment to greater causes.
02:45She was a member of the Edwards Assembly, a chapter of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls.
02:51A youth organization linked to Freemasonry, which promoted values of leadership and community service.
02:57At school, he was a member of the Student Council, earning the respect and admiration of his classmates and teachers.
03:05In 1976, Tana graduated with honors from the local high school.
03:10a milestone that reflected his dedication to his studies and his ambition for a promising future.
03:16The following year, at age 19, Tana achieved yet another milestone.
03:21She was appointed as the state representative for Pennsylvania by the Masonic organization.
03:26A recognition of his leadership skills and charisma.
03:30Her beauty also attracted attention and, at age 20, she was crowned Miss Rosemad.
03:36a title that celebrated not only her looks, but also her grace and intelligence.
03:42However, Tana was not seduced by the glamour of the spotlight.
03:46She chose a more stable path, working as an administrative secretary at NASA.
03:51while studying pedagogy at Backsfield College.
03:55Her dream was, of course, to become a teacher and dedicate herself to the education of children with special needs.
04:03a vocation that reflected her empathy and desire to make a difference in the world.
04:09In October 1978, Tana had taken an important step towards independence.
04:16He rented a small apartment in Rosemad, the same town where he had grown up.
04:20But where was he now beginning to build his adult life?
04:23Despite her close relationship with her family, she spent a good deal of time with her boyfriend, Rick Max Ross.
04:30an 18-year-old with whom he shared lighthearted moments and plans for the future.
04:37However, Tana had already expressed concerns to her mother and friends about safety in her new neighborhood.
04:44Unknown men appeared to be prowling around the building.
04:47He was staring at her intently, which made her uncomfortable.
04:51To protect themselves, she and Rick created a routine.
04:55When they went out at night, he would walk her to the door of her apartment.
04:59and would only say goodbye after ensuring her safety.
05:04It was a simple precaution, but one that reflected Tana's intuition about the dangers that surrounded her.
05:10Little did she know that on that fateful October night,
05:14No precaution would be enough to protect her from the approaching tragedy.
05:19On the morning of October 25, 1978,
05:23Rosemédio's routine was shaken by an event that would mark the community forever.
05:28Around nine-thirty in the morning,
05:31Pat Ewan, Tana Wolley's supervisor at NASA,
05:34He made a call that would change the course of that day.
05:37Worried, she contacted Ellen Wolley, Tana's mother,
05:41informing that the young woman, known for her exemplary punctuality,
05:46He hadn't shown up for work.
05:48For Tana, who was rarely late, this absence was alarming.
05:54Ellen tried calling her daughter, but the phone rang without answering.
05:58A dark premonition came over her.
06:01And without hesitation, he decided to go to Tana's apartment.
06:05Upon arriving at the building, Ellen was confronted with a disturbing sight.
06:11The door to the daughter's apartment was ajar.
06:15with clear signs that the door frame had been forced.
06:18Ellen's heart raced.
06:21Each step towards the entrance
06:22He seemed burdened with a fear she didn't want to name.
06:26Hesitant, but driven by the need to find her daughter,
06:31She went into the apartment.
06:32What he saw next turned his fear into despair.
06:36The living room was a complete mess.
06:40Clothes and personal belongings were scattered on the floor.
06:43Drawers turned upside down.
06:45Misaligned furniture.
06:47It was clear that a violent confrontation had taken place there.
06:51With a trembling voice, Ellen shouted Tana's name,
06:54hoping, against all odds, to hear an answer.
06:59The silence that echoed through the apartment was deafening.
07:04Driven by a mixture of courage and fear,
07:07She went to her daughter's room.
07:09There, he came across the most devastating scene.
07:12that a mother could face.
07:15Tana lay lifeless on the bed.
07:18his body leaning partially to the side.
07:21From the waist down, there were no clothes.
07:23A blue sock still covered his right foot.
07:27while the other foot was barefoot.
07:30The missing sock was wrapped around her neck.
07:34a cruel sign of what had happened.
07:37Marks of violence were visible on his body.
07:41indicating that Tana had suffered a brutal attack.
07:44before being silenced forever.
07:47Desperate, Ellen contacted the Kearn County police.
07:51who arrived quickly at the scene.
07:53Upon examining the scene, the officers confirmed the seriousness of what had happened.
07:57The apartment, in its disarray and signs of struggle,
08:01It suggested a crime that was planned and executed with violence.
08:04Tana's body was taken to the Forensic Hospital for detailed examination.
08:08while the police launched an investigation that promised to be complex.
08:13At that moment, Ellen, still in shock,
08:17She could hardly imagine that the search for justice for her daughter
08:20It would become a journey of more than two decades.
08:23marked by frustrations, lost leads, and unwavering persistence.
08:29The arrival of the police at Tana Wolley's apartment.
08:33This marked the beginning of an investigation.
08:35which, from the very first moment, revealed the complexity of the crime.
08:39Kearn County agents, upon examining the scene,
08:42They determined that Tana had been the victim of an extremely violent attack.
08:47The autopsy performed at the Forensic Hospital revealed disturbing details.
08:52The 20-year-old woman died between 10 PM and 11 PM on October 24, 1978.
09:00due to asphyxiation caused by the sock wrapped around her neck.
09:04The marks on her body indicated that she had suffered brutal attacks.
09:09before being strangled.
09:11Furthermore, the presence of genetic material in Tana's body
09:15It suggested that she had been sexually assaulted.
09:18although the investigators considered the possibility
09:22that the DNA could be related to a previous consensual relationship,
09:27with no direct connection to the murder.
09:29The crime scene offered few concrete clues.
09:32Despite the mess in the room, with objects scattered and signs of a struggle,
09:37The officers found no fingerprints.
09:40or other traces of DNA that could directly point to the person responsible.
09:45This lack of genetic evidence suggested that the criminal was cautious.
09:50Someone who knew how to avoid leaving a trace.
09:53The police began to profile a meticulous killer.
09:58possibly experienced, who carefully planned his actions so as not to be identified.
10:03Analysis of the apartment reinforced this hypothesis.
10:06The forced entry indicated a planned break-in.
10:10And the choice of a sock as a strangulation weapon was classified as a weapon of opportunity.
10:16This suggested that the murder had not been premeditated.
10:20but rather a reaction from the aggressor to a situation that got out of their control.
10:25possibly when Tana tried to defend herself.
10:28The detectives began their investigation by interviewing the building's neighbors.
10:33Some reported hearing muffled screams around 10:30 p.m. the previous day.
10:39coming from the floor where Tana lived.
10:42However, the sounds quickly ceased.
10:45leading residents to believe it was just a momentary scare,
10:49not a crime in progress.
10:51This information reinforced the theory that the killer acted quickly and efficiently.
10:56Neutralizing Tana before she could call for help.
11:00The absence of stolen valuables ruled out robbery as a motive.
11:05pointing to a crime of a sexual nature.
11:08The police also considered that the attacker was likely using a condom.
11:13which indicated prior planning of the abuse, but not necessarily of the murder.
11:19The community of Ruzmed, still reeling from the loss of such a beloved young woman, demanded answers.
11:25The devastated Wolley family followed every step of the investigation.
11:30in the hope that the person responsible would be quickly identified.
11:34However, the lack of concrete clues and the sophistication of the criminal...
11:39They made the investigators' work difficult.
11:42The sock used to strangle Tana became a symbol of the brutality of the crime.
11:48But at that moment it offered no answers as to who had taken the young woman's life.
11:53As the days passed, the investigation began to reveal its limitations.
11:59And the promise of justice seemed increasingly distant for Tana's family.
12:04While Ruzmed was trying to recover from the shock of Tana Wolley's murder,
12:09The police investigation faced challenges that tested the patience of the family and the community.
12:15The Kern County detectives, overwhelmed,
12:18They began to explore all available clues.
12:22starting with the people closest to Tana.
12:25The first person to be questioned was the young woman's boyfriend.
12:29Rick reported that on the night of the crime, he spent time with Tana at her apartment.
12:34where they played and watched television.
12:36Around 10 p.m., he accompanied her to her building.
12:40as he usually did to ensure his safety.
12:43Witnesses confirmed seeing Rick saying goodbye to Tana in the building's lobby.
12:49which corroborated his version.
12:52With a solid alibi, he was quickly ruled out as a suspect.
12:56During the interrogation, Rick shared a crucial piece of information.
13:01In the weeks leading up to the crime,
13:03Tana had expressed concern about men who were loitering around the building.
13:07She felt constantly watched.
13:10whether it's throwing trash away,
13:12when leaving the apartment or walking down the hallways.
13:16A particular neighbor,
13:18described by Rick as a tall man,
13:21burly and African-American,
13:23He had tried persistently to ask her out.
13:26even after their refusals.
13:28This description caught the attention of the investigators.
13:32because it matched the drawn profile.
13:34by the newly created Behavioral Analysis Department of the FBI,
13:38who had been called upon to assist in the case.
13:41According to experts,
13:43The killer was probably a strong man.
13:46between 15 and 20 years old,
13:48with above-average intelligence,
13:50history of violent behavior
13:52and potential related frustrations
13:54Romantic or sexual rejections.
13:57Although the crime appeared to be his first murder,
14:00It was unlikely that this was his first attack.
14:03Frustrated with the slow response from the local police,
14:06Tana's parents decided to seek outside help.
14:10They hired a private investigator.
14:12called Lou Magnat,
14:13who dove into the investigation with determination.
14:17Magnat visited the apartment complex.
14:19and interviewed each of the 30 residents,
14:22Looking for someone who would stand out from the suspect.
14:25Several neighbors pointed to Larry Haslett,
14:28a 32-year-old man who lived in apartment number 5,
14:32just a few meters from Tana's room.
14:35Her window looked directly onto the young woman's bedroom.
14:38allowing him to observe her easily.
14:42Larry was known in the building as a troublemaker.
14:46nicknamed by some as the neighborhood pervert.
14:49Rick confirmed that he was the main source of Tana's concerns.
14:53which seemed to perfectly match the profile of the perpetrator,
14:58Except for his age, which exceeded the FBI's estimate.
15:02Magnat shared his findings with the police.
15:05who interrogated Larry.
15:07During the testimony, he appeared calm.
15:09and denied any involvement,
15:11stating that at the time of the crime
15:13I was in a nearby store buying groceries.
15:17However, neither the seller nor other neighbors
15:20They were able to confirm his alibi.
15:22The police collected a DNA sample from Larry.
15:26But the results did not directly link him to the crime scene.
15:30Without sufficient evidence to keep him from leaving it,
15:34The investigators were forced to release him.
15:37Months after the murder,
15:39Larry left Rosemad,
15:40moving to a destination that was previously unknown,
15:44and his trail was lost.
15:46The investigation, without any new leads,
15:49It ended up being shelved.
15:51leaving the Woolay family without answers.
15:53For Ellen, however,
15:55The fight for justice was only beginning.
15:58and his determination to find his daughter's killer
16:01would remain alive,
16:03even in the face of so many frustrations.
16:06After Tana's case was closed,
16:08The young woman's family faced a void.
16:10which seemed insurmountable.
16:12The lack of answers and the absence of an identified culprit.
16:16They transformed the pain of loss.
16:18in a tireless fight for justice.
16:21Ellen Woolay refused to accept.
16:23that her daughter's murderer would remain free.
16:26During the following 20 years,
16:28She maintained constant contact with the Kearney County police.
16:32calling every month
16:34to inquire about any new developments in the investigation.
16:38Each phone call was an act of hope.
16:40even when the answers were always the same.
16:44There was no significant progress.
16:46The detectives in charge of the case changed frequently.
16:50and each new investigator had to start from scratch,
16:54which made the process even slower.
16:57Despite the frustrations,
16:59Ellen never gave up.
17:00fueled by Tana's memory
17:02and by the unspoken promise that one day the truth would come to light.
17:06In the course of time,
17:08Taryn took on the task of pressuring the police.
17:11Tana's younger sister.
17:13Just like her mother,
17:15Taryn was polite, but firm.
17:17insisting that investigators take the case seriously again.
17:22His determination gained new momentum in March 1999.
17:27when the O.J. Simpson case
17:29It dominated the headlines in the United States.
17:31Media coverage highlighted a new scientific technique.
17:35which allowed for comparative DNA analysis
17:39capable of identifying culprits,
17:41even in cases considered closed.
17:44Inspired by this possibility,
17:47Taryn suggested to the detectives
17:48that they used this technology
17:50to re-examine the evidence in Tana's case,
17:53especially the blue sock used to strangle her.
17:57Initially, the agents showed skepticism,
18:01arguing that the documentation from the 1970s
18:04It wasn't that detailed.
18:06which made it difficult to apply modern methods.
18:09Furthermore, many believed
18:12that the evidence could be degraded after so much time.
18:16Taryn, however, did not let herself be defeated.
18:19During the following three months,
18:21She kept calling the police station.
18:23with a persistence that bordered on obsession.
18:25His persistence finally paid off.
18:28when he managed to speak with Sergeant Chris Speer,
18:32an officer willing to give the case another chance.
18:36Speer promised to review Tana's file.
18:39diving into old records
18:41with a renewed perspective.
18:43In the 1970s,
18:45investigation procedures
18:47They didn't require such rigorous documentation.
18:50which left gaps.
18:51Still, Speer found an intriguing piece.
18:56A request for fingerprints
18:58of a man named Larry Heslett,
19:01the same neighbor identified as a suspect
19:03by private detective Lou Magnate,
19:06hired by the Woolley family 20 years earlier.
19:09The mention of Larry rekindled hope.
19:12that a forgotten clue could, finally,
19:14Take them to the person responsible for the crime.
19:16For the Woolley family,
19:18Ellen and Terry's insistence
19:20a new door was beginning to open,
19:23even if the path to justice
19:24even though it was still full of uncertainties.
19:27Terry Woolley's insistence
19:29in keeping her sister Tana's case alive
19:32It began to bear fruit at the end of 1999.
19:35Sergeant Chris Speer,
19:37touched by the family's determination,
19:40decided to delve into the archives
19:42dusty remains from the assassination that occurred in 1978.
19:45When reviewing the documents,
19:47He found references to Larry Heslett,
19:50the neighbor who, two decades earlier,
19:52He had been identified as a suspect.
19:54by private detective Lou Magnate.
19:57Larry's fingerprint request
20:00What was recorded in the files intrigued Speer,
20:03especially because it wasn't clear
20:05because the original researchers
20:07They had requested it.
20:09Determined to explore this trail,
20:11He initiated a background check.
20:13discrimination against the suspect,
20:15searching for answers that could connect Larry to the crime.
20:18The research revealed a worrying history.
20:22In 1969, Larry Heslett had been convicted.
20:27for armed robbery and assault,
20:29In addition to facing accusations of sexual abuse,
20:32although these did not result in arrests.
20:34In 1973, he was investigated as the prime suspect.
20:40in another case of abuse,
20:41but the victim refused to testify.
20:43and the charges were dropped.
20:46After Tana's murder,
20:48Larry left Rosemead and discovered himself
20:50that he moved to Sacramento, California,
20:53where she got married and had children
20:55and worked as a music teacher
20:57at a local school.
20:59However, his past continued.
21:01to reveal criminal behavior.
21:03In 1978, he faced legal problems again.
21:09suspected of attempting to blow up
21:10a U.S. Borax facility with homemade bombs,
21:14although this has never been proven.
21:16Between 1979 and 1991,
21:20Larry accumulated new accusations.
21:22including theft, indecent display,
21:25abuse against minors
21:27and five other cases of violent sexual abuse.
21:30Despite being registered as a sex offender,
21:34He never served a significant prison sentence.
21:37In 1992,
21:40He received another conviction for robbery in Sacramento.
21:43With this extensive criminal history,
21:46Larry seemed like a promising suspect.
21:48But the evidence was still circumstantial.
21:52Speer knew he needed something more concrete.
21:55to justify a direct approach.
21:58Armed with information about Larry's whereabouts in Sacramento,
22:02He decided to confront him.
22:03On October 5, 1999,
22:06The sergeant traveled to the city.
22:08and found Larry living a life
22:10seemingly peaceful in a serene neighborhood.
22:13For the neighbors,
22:15He was just an ordinary man.
22:17without any indication of his criminal past.
22:20Speer knocked on Larry's door.
22:22with a court order
22:23to collect a DNA sample.
22:26The suspect,
22:27displaying a disconcerting calm,
22:30cooperated voluntarily,
22:31delivering the sample
22:33and stating that he did not know Tana Wolley.
22:35He stated that he would be happy.
22:37in helping to clarify the case,
22:39an attitude that left Speer with two hypotheses.
22:42Either Larry had truly rebuilt his life
22:45and he was innocent,
22:46or his confidence stemmed from belief
22:48that, as in his previous crimes,
22:51He would get away with it.
22:53Speer returned to Baxfield.
22:55with Larry's DNA sample,
22:57which was sent to the forensic laboratory
22:59from Kern County for analysis.
23:01The reopening of the case,
23:03driven by the persistence of the Wolley family
23:06and by the new hope brought by DNA technologies,
23:09It marked a turning point.
23:11The possibility of connecting Larry to the crime.
23:14after so many years
23:15It rekindled hope for justice for Tana.
23:18However,
23:19the investigators knew
23:20that the road ahead would still be challenging,
23:23requiring solid evidence
23:24to transform suspicions
23:26in a formal action.
23:28At the beginning of the year 2000,
23:30the Kern County forensic laboratory
23:32It became the epicenter of the search for justice.
23:35in the case of Tana Wolley.
23:36Analyst Brenda Smith
23:38he took on the task of re-examining
23:40the evidence collected in the victim's apartment
23:43in 1978.
23:45His first attempt was to analyze
23:48the genetic material found in Tana's body,
23:50but after more than two decades,
23:52The DNA was severely degraded.
23:54to generate reliable results.
23:57Determined to find something useful,
23:59Brenda turned her attention to the clothing bags.
24:02and the bedding collected at the crime scene.
24:06Using an alternative light source,
24:08She examined each item meticulously.
24:10in search of biological traces.
24:13That's when he discovered
24:14small yellowish circular spots
24:16on the top of Tana's quilt.
24:19Tests confirmed
24:20that the spots contained seminal fluid,
24:23a promising lead
24:24which could change the course of the investigation.
24:27With meticulous care,
24:29Brenda isolated the spots.
24:30and extracted a complete genetic profile,
24:32which was compared with the DNA sample
24:35provided by Larry Heslitt.
24:37The result was conclusive.
24:39a match with a probability
24:41one in 126 billion,
24:44virtually eliminating
24:46any chance of coincidence.
24:48Excited by the discovery,
24:50Brenda contacted immediately.
24:52The Kearney County homicide team.
24:54Detectives Joy Hikes
24:56Scott Jaltex and Scott received the mission.
24:59to question and, if necessary,
25:01Arrest Larry.
25:02Despite the strength of the DNA evidence,
25:05the investigators knew
25:06that the case was not yet proof of wrongdoing.
25:09Larry's defense could argue
25:11in a possible trial
25:12that genetic material
25:14It was the result of a consensual relationship.
25:17which required more evidence
25:18to solidify the accusation.
25:21Joy Hikes returned to Sacramento.
25:22to confront Larry.
25:24Seated at the suspect's kitchen table,
25:26The detective activated a recording device.
25:28And the interrogation began.
25:30He asked if Larry would be able to.
25:32to take a life,
25:34to which he replied with a firm no.
25:36Larry also denied it.
25:37any relationship with Tana
25:39or having entered your apartment.
25:41That statement was a crucial mistake.
25:44DNA in the bedspread
25:46He proved his presence at the location.
25:48contradicting his version.
25:50When confronted with biological evidence,
25:53Larry maintained his denial.
25:54requiring the presence of a lawyer.
25:57His composure began to crumble.
25:59And Joy needed to calm him down.
26:01to continue the conversation.
26:03On that same day,
26:04Larry was arrested and charged.
26:06first-degree murder.
26:08About that,
26:09Ellen Woolley received the call.
26:11which I had been waiting for for over 20 years.
26:13She was in the cemetery.
26:15placing flowers in Tana's tome
26:17when I heard about the arrest.
26:19For a moment,
26:20believed that justice
26:21It was finally within reach.
26:24However,
26:25The case was still facing obstacles.
26:27The prosecutor,
26:28Eddie Deagles,
26:29who took on the accusation
26:31in December 2002,
26:32I knew that the defense
26:34could explore
26:35the possibility
26:36of an alleged secret romance
26:37between Larry and Tana
26:39to explain DNA.
26:40To strengthen the case,
26:42Deagles sought help
26:43by the renowned investigator
26:45Trent Spears.
26:46Together,
26:47they tracked
26:48four other victims
26:49who had accused Larry
26:51of sexual abuse,
26:53three before the assassination
26:54of Tana
26:54and one later.
26:56Locate these women
26:58It was a challenge.
26:59especially one
27:00which had changed its name
27:01four times
27:02after successive marriages.
27:05Even so,
27:06all were found
27:07and interviewees.
27:09The four women
27:10who did not know each other
27:11They reported experiences
27:13frighteningly similar.
27:15Larry initially
27:17introduced himself
27:18as polite and friendly,
27:19but when left alone with them,
27:21He was becoming violent.
27:23One of the victims
27:24He still bore scars.
27:26from a severe bite.
27:28Although reluctant
27:29in reliving the trauma,
27:31they agreed
27:31in witnessing
27:32after understanding
27:33the seriousness of the case
27:35and the impact
27:35due to their past omission.
27:37They felt that,
27:38if they had followed
27:39with their accusations
27:40years earlier,
27:42Tana could be alive.
27:43Their stories
27:45Larry was being exhibited
27:46like a serial predator,
27:48strengthening
27:48the prosecution's narrative.
27:50The promoter of errors,
27:51however,
27:52I wanted more.
27:53He requested
27:54to the forensic laboratory
27:55a new analysis
27:56blue sock
27:57used to strangle Tana.
27:59Like the piece
28:00It had been squeezed.
28:01forcefully
28:01for an extended period of time,
28:03there was a possibility
28:04of which cells
28:05from the attacker's skin
28:06had stayed
28:07impregnated.
28:09Brenda Smith
28:10scraped carefully
28:11the surface of the sock
28:12with a razor blade,
28:13collecting fragments
28:15which were analyzed.
28:16The result
28:17revealed a profile
28:18partial DNA,
28:19what,
28:20although not complete,
28:21also corresponded
28:22Larry.
28:23This evidence
28:24disassembled
28:25any claim
28:26relationship
28:26consensual,
28:27confirming that Larry
28:29not only was
28:30in the apartment,
28:31but it was also
28:32the person in charge
28:32by strangulation.
28:34With the DNA of the quilt,
28:35partial profile
28:36in the sock
28:37and the testimonies
28:38to the four victims,
28:39the prosecution
28:40finally had
28:41a solid case
28:41against the murderer
28:42of Tana.
28:43On June 10th
28:45from 2002,
28:46the murder case
28:47by Tana Wolley
28:48arrived at the court,
28:49marking the peak
28:50of a journey
28:51for more than two decades
28:52In search of justice.
28:54The prosecutor
28:55Ed Degos
28:56presented a case
28:57meticulously constructed,
28:59supported by
28:59DNA evidence,
29:01testimonials
29:02of other victims
29:03and a reconstruction
29:04detailed account of the events.
29:05During the trial,
29:07the prosecution
29:08I brought a witness.
29:09surprise that launched
29:10a new light
29:11about the character
29:11predatory
29:12by Larry Heslett.
29:13The woman reported
29:15the incident
29:16in which Larry
29:16He approached her on the street.
29:18insisting on
29:19that he would accept
29:19Go out with him.
29:21When she refused,
29:22He grabbed her.
29:23by the arm,
29:23requiring
29:24Your agreement.
29:26The victim
29:26managed to escape
29:27and hide
29:28in your car,
29:29but while driving,
29:30realized that Larry
29:31the following
29:32in a BMW
29:33dark green.
29:34She reported it.
29:35what happened
29:36to the police,
29:37but without physical marks
29:38visible,
29:39no action
29:40It was taken.
29:41This testimony,
29:42combined with the reports
29:43of the other four
29:44victims of abuse,
29:46painted a portrait
29:47Larry's clear
29:48like an aggressor
29:48in series,
29:49whose violence
29:50climbing
29:51with each rejection.
29:52The testimonies
29:53of the four women
29:54They were devastating.
29:56Each one
29:57described
29:58like Larry
29:58She used her charm.
29:59initial
30:00to gain trust,
30:01just to reveal
30:03its true nature
30:04at times
30:05of violence.
30:06The scars,
30:07both physical
30:08how emotional
30:09which they were carrying,
30:10they reinforced
30:11gravity
30:11of their crimes.
30:13These reports,
30:14allies
30:14to the evidence
30:15DNA
30:16found
30:17on the bedspread
30:17and in the blue sock
30:19used for
30:19strangle Tana,
30:21They left little.
30:22space for questions.
30:23The defense
30:24tried to discredit
30:25genetic testing,
30:27suggesting that the presence
30:28from Larry's DNA
30:29could be explained
30:30through a relationship
30:31consensual,
30:32but the correspondence
30:33partial in the half
30:34and consistency
30:35of the testimonies
30:36weakened
30:37this argument.
30:39One moment
30:40crucial part of the trial
30:41It came with participation.
30:42by Vin MacGame,
30:44specialist
30:45under reconstruction
30:45FBI crime investigations.
30:47He presented
30:48a narrative
30:48detailed
30:49than what happened
30:50at night
30:50October 24th
30:52from 1978.
30:54According to MacGame,
30:56after Rick
30:56leave Tana
30:57in the building,
30:57she went up
30:58for your apartment
30:59and was surprised
31:00by Larry,
31:01who was watching her
31:02for weeks.
31:04Frightened,
31:05Tana tried
31:05lock the door,
31:06but Larry,
31:07stronger,
31:08He estimated an entrance fee.
31:10An intense struggle
31:11what followed,
31:12leaving the room
31:13in disarray,
31:14like Ellen Mully
31:14would find
31:15the next day.
31:17Larry struck
31:18Tana on the face
31:19with a watch
31:19alarm clock,
31:20causing injuries
31:21on the lips
31:22before dragging her
31:23to the bedroom.
31:24There,
31:25he assaulted her
31:26again,
31:26playing it
31:27against the bed
31:28where he committed
31:29The abuse.
31:30Fearing to be
31:30identified
31:31with the neighbor,
31:32Larry used
31:33Tana's sock
31:34to strangle her.
31:35After a week
31:36of testimonies
31:37and only one hour
