00:23What number am I thinking of?
00:26It doesn't work like that.
00:31Seven, it's always seven.
00:36It's time.
00:54I'm so sorry, I really tried.
00:57Well, three different spot treatments didn't work.
00:59I wanted to get your okay before I tried hydrogen peroxide.
01:03Red wine is an acid and silks hate acid.
01:06Red wine?
01:07No, it's a ketchup stain.
01:09No, ketchup's redder.
01:10When it's purple, it's wine.
01:11No, no, no.
01:12My husband was at a Cardinals game and someone walked into him holding a hot dog.
01:15You know what?
01:17You're so right.
01:18It's ketchup.
01:19Um, I will let you know.
01:22Okay, bye.
01:27We're closed.
01:29Special delivery.
01:31Hey, Lorene.
01:33Now, Ray, you're not here to get your tux clean.
01:35I saw your car outside.
01:37I'm still getting your mail.
01:38Oh, thanks.
01:42You figure if you wait long enough, they'll stop asking for their money?
01:45You're working late, aren't I?
01:47You stopped drinking.
01:49How in the world can you know that?
01:51Have you been going through my trash?
01:53Oh, your pants are too loose.
01:54You're down to your last loop on your belt.
01:57Going on four months now.
01:58Two meetings a week?
02:00I don't know.
02:01Maybe this time I'll stick.
02:02That's great.
02:03Good for you, Ray.
02:05How's things around here?
02:06Well, I just got yelled at by Jeannie Franco,
02:10whose husband's having an affair with a clumsy red wine drinker.
02:15Now, tell me you did not put yourself in the middle of that.
02:18I didn't say a word.
02:19You'd have been proud of me.
02:20Hey, can I at least pay your cable bill?
02:23I'm the reason you signed up for it in the first place.
02:26And I'm saving a fortune on my bar tab.
02:29You're not paying my damn bills.
02:32I could pay off all of them and we still wouldn't be even, Lorena.
02:37Take off your pants.
02:40What?
02:40I'll take them in.
02:42You want me to walk out of here in my underpants?
02:45I got some in your size.
02:48He's not going to come in looking for it?
02:50If he hasn't needed a set of work clothes in a month, he got fired.
02:54All right.
02:54This morning, Melissa and Frank Conley made an impassioned plea to the public for the safe return of their son,
03:01Rory Conley.
03:03Rory is six.
03:04He's tall for his age, with brown hair and gaps in his teeth.
03:09He was dressed as a fox.
03:11It's been a year since their five-year-old son was abducted from Charlotte Comic Expo.
03:16The good news is, you can always look for work as a security guard.
03:21The family now offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information that could lead to his safe return.
03:29Is it happening again?
03:39Why are you being so dramatic?
03:44You got the best view in the house?
03:48You'll be okay.
03:51Yeah.
03:54Yeah.
03:59Yeah.
04:08Are you frustrated with the police?
04:10Do you know if they're following leads?
04:12They say they're doing their best.
04:14I guess we have to believe them.
04:17Thank you for being here.
04:43You have reached the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Missing Persons Unit.
04:46Please leave your message and phone number after the tone.
04:49Hello.
04:50My name is Lorraine Howell.
04:52I live in Branson, Missouri.
04:54And I am calling about Rory Connelly.
04:58I kept thinking the worst had passed, but new lows would sneak up on us.
05:04Each day that passed meant it was that much less likely.
05:08The police said they called when they knew something, but the phone never rang.
05:14And then it did.
05:16The detective on the case said someone had come forward with information.
05:20It was unsubstantiated, borderline insane.
05:25But when you're in pitch darkness, no light is too small.
05:30This will sound strange, but I can see things sometimes.
05:36Images, strong, clear images.
05:39Not hallucinations.
05:41They're real.
05:51There's an older woman with a southern accent talking to him.
05:55She's telling him to eat graham crackers, but he's not listening.
06:00He has a toy car in his hand, a little purple toy race car.
06:07He's driving it along a seam in the sofa upholstery, making sounds like tires squealing.
06:15She was so sure.
06:16She told us exactly what we needed to hear.
06:19He has crumbs on his shirt.
06:24He's lost one of his bottom teeth.
06:29He is being cared for.
06:32Please don't give up.
06:34Who wouldn't want to believe their missing son is still alive?
06:39Even if it was a lie.
07:06Who wouldn't want to believe their missing son is still alive?
07:11I got your pants.
07:13Oh, thanks, Lorraine.
07:14Really?
07:16And you're throwing in a free fern?
07:19I'm going out of town.
07:20Do me a favor.
07:21Look after it when I'm gone.
07:23I don't have the best track record for keeping things alive.
07:26I can remember one marriage in particular.
07:28You'll do fine.
07:30Indirect light, somewhere nice and humid.
07:32It'll drink as much as you give it.
07:34I count a plant.
07:35Yeah.
07:37So how long am I taking care of Mr. Fern?
07:40I don't know.
07:41A couple weeks, maybe?
07:42It's that kid, isn't it?
07:44The one on TV?
07:46Mmm.
07:47Why, Lorraine?
07:48It's never worth it.
07:50Putting yourself in the middle of all that pain.
07:52You're always worse off on the other side.
07:55I have to do this.
07:56No, you don't.
07:57Stay.
07:59Let me take you out to dinner.
08:00I mean...
08:01I have to go.
08:01I have to go.
08:02Don't overwater it.
08:03You'll rob the roots.
08:08The purple toy car, that's what did it.
08:11He had it in his pocket the day that he...
08:17It's people like her, who claim to be psychics, they do research.
08:22Maybe she saw him holding it in pictures.
08:25So given that skepticism, why bring her to North Carolina?
08:28She said she needed to be in Rory's room, establish a connection.
08:33I wasn't sure.
08:35Frank was, and he knew the magic words.
08:38He said the same thing I tell all my buyers when they're looking at a house.
08:44All the research in the world doesn't compare to the feeling you get when it's right in front of you.
09:02You must be frank.
09:04Thank you for coming.
09:07Oh.
09:07Oh, no.
09:21Ah, sorry.
09:22My wife doesn't believe in any of this stuff.
09:26She'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard.
09:28I guess even that beats the quiet.
09:31Unless, do you need quiet to get the energies in alignment?
09:36Or, if you'd rather, I can turn it off?
09:39No, it's fine.
09:40I'm a normal person, I promise.
09:43Okay.
10:02I'll go get Melissa.
10:04Melissa!
10:13Hi.
10:14Nice to meet you.
10:16I'm Melissa Conley.
10:17Uh, Lorraine.
10:19I'm so sorry for what you've been through.
10:21Thanks.
10:22Thanks for coming.
10:23Well, you smell that?
10:25Cookies.
10:26She's been out of the real estate game for a year, but she still pulls the open house trip.
10:31Don't fall for it, Lorraine.
10:33Place is a dump.
10:34I bet Rory loved oatmeal racing.
10:37I-I thought it might help.
10:39I don't know.
10:40Yeah.
10:40Set the mood.
10:44Anyway, shall we-shall we begin?
10:52It's this way.
10:53Okay.
10:57Please.
11:00Please.
11:20Anything you need to get started, you just let us know.
11:25Or, if you'd rather, we could go over what we know.
11:27We've got that folder from the police around here, so-
11:29Frank, remember what we talked about?
11:31Sorry.
11:32My husband's a talker, but maybe there are things you could tell us.
11:40You don't have to tell me anything.
11:43I just-I get a feeling.
11:49But only sometimes.
11:52Yeah.
11:55It comes, it doesn't.
12:06Like what?
12:17Man.
12:18Man.
12:19No.
12:40Was Rory allergic to peanuts?
12:45No, he didn't have any allergies
12:48Then why did he sort his Halloween candy one pile with peanuts and one without?
12:53I'm allergic
12:54Frank
12:54I told Rory not to bring peanuts into the house or he couldn't kiss me goodnight
13:00And so he would trade the ones with peanuts for sour gummy worms
13:02But that doesn't mean that he's alive or that we're gonna find him
13:05No, no, no, you're right, you're right
13:07This is scary letting a stranger into your house
13:13Your heart's already broken
13:15You don't want to have it broken again
13:20I promise I wouldn't put you through this unless I knew there was reason to hope
13:24Just hope
13:26She could have seen Frank's EpiPen in the car
13:28She could have noticed we had no nuts in her kitchen
13:31Or a million other clues I might have missed
13:35But still
13:36That night I slept a full eight hours for the first time in a year
13:40So I guess in some way I did believe it
13:43You put the defendant up in your guest room, correct?
13:46Yes
13:46It was impossible to know when or if she'd see anything that we could have used
13:52So she stayed
13:53And did she ask for anything besides the room?
13:57Some sort of payment?
13:59We offered
13:59She refused
14:00Then she got a call from her landlord
14:02She was behind on rent so she'd have to go back and move her things out
14:06So we paid it all for her
14:08We could afford it
14:10Little by little other things came up
14:12Loans, car payments
14:14So she stayed
14:15And a week turned into a month
14:18Which turned into two months
14:19Why welcome her in?
14:21Why pay off her debts?
14:22What made you think she was legitimate?
14:24She'd done it before
14:27She found that girl
14:28The one in Nevada
14:30Lorraine let the police write to her
14:32Now she's in college
14:35She'd done it once
14:37I thought she could do it again
14:51Hi
14:51Hi
14:53Still keep the freezer stocked with mint chip
14:56Good
14:58Never know when he might come back and want some
15:02Nothing new?
15:05It's only been four days since I last saw him
15:08Don't read into it
15:10Thanks
15:13You're alright to stay, yeah?
15:15Of course
15:15There's no one missing me in Missouri
15:17No one?
15:18No family?
15:20Uh-uh
15:20Not really
15:21You and Melissa
15:24It's good you have each other
15:27Yeah
15:27It's a great balance
15:29She's vegetables
15:31And I'm
15:33Ice cream
15:34Mmm
15:35I was always the one who indulged Rory
15:37Like the stuffed koala
15:40On his bed
15:41When he saw that at the convention
15:43He begged me for it
15:44He'd look at me with those big eyes
15:46Swear to God
15:47The kid knew exactly what he was doing
15:50Yeah
15:51There's so many people there
15:55Turned away for a second
15:58Maybe if I didn't
16:00It wouldn't have
16:01Hey
16:03It's not your fault
16:05It's not
16:06Yeah
16:08Nothing made him happier than warnings his dad woke him up to play hooky
16:12Nothing
16:14I bet
16:17And I
16:18Have you seen anything else?
16:22Not yet
16:23How long did it take the last time?
16:26That girl you found in 2007
16:29Amelia Price
16:30How long until you saw the thing that led the police to her?
16:34I couldn't piece it together
16:36I just saw fleeting images
16:40I kept seeing this row of little jars with peeling labels
16:47On a windowsill
16:48Then I could see
16:49Past the grimy window paint
16:52Out to a water tower
16:53With faded lettering
16:55I-T-E space
16:57S-T
16:58And someone found a manufacturer
17:00Named Granite State Steel
17:01And next
17:02To one of their
17:04Water towers
17:05Was
17:07A trailer park
17:08They
17:09Knocked on doors
17:11The guy ran
17:12And they found Amelia
17:16Her family sends me Christmas cards every year
17:22It's been 17 years since you've seen a missing child
17:29Yes
17:34Good night
17:34Good night
17:36That's it?
17:37Blue sedan?
17:38From the 90s, right?
17:40Could be the early aughts
17:41Definitely an older model
17:42With a pull-down armrest
17:44In the backseat
17:45Rory was using to draw
17:47And-and-and there was a burger wrapper in the cup holder
17:49Didn't you say that?
17:50No
17:51No
17:54Are-are you gonna write it down?
17:56Okay
17:56I'll write it down
17:58Along with your other tips
17:59You have an
18:00Older woman with a southern accent
18:02Backyard with a tire swing
18:03Sound of jackhammering from a construction site
18:07You didn't
18:08Also happen to see
18:09Like a license plate
18:10Or a
18:11Street sign
18:12Or a state flag
18:15Lorraine has seen things
18:16That can't otherwise be explained
18:18She knew Rory had that purple car
18:19The day he disappeared
18:20It's not much to go on
18:22Yeah, but it's something
18:24I didn't beg you as much of a believer as Conley
18:26Well, at least it's better than the nothing
18:28Our office has to show for the past year
18:30Okay, just because we don't have answers
18:31Doesn't mean we're not still looking
18:34We're tracking half a dozen child abduction cases
18:36Three in particular
18:38If we solve one of those
18:39It could lead us to them
18:40So
18:42I apologize if I'm not keen
18:44On wasting our resources
18:45Tracking down a palm reader's tip
18:47She found that girl, Amelia Price?
18:48Broken clocks, right
18:50Twice a day
18:50But it's not just random guesses
18:52I gave concrete details
18:54Yeah, that's great
18:55Fine, great
18:56You're not exactly one for one, are you?
18:58So
18:59I looked you up on the NCIC database
19:01There were six cases
19:02Six I could find
19:03I'm sure there were more
19:04Where you offered information
19:05Now for someone who can't force a vision
19:07You've got a lot to say
19:09And not enough of a track record to back it up
19:11I wonder if you're more worried
19:12About your track record than mine
19:14Those are a lot of case files
19:16Maybe you've bitten off too much
19:18Man, your age has to be looking at the clock
19:20Hoping for that promotion to captain
19:22Maybe it's easier to brush these pesky
19:26Unsolvable cases out of sight
19:30I think we're done here
19:34What?
19:36Do yourself a favor
19:39Start ironing your shirts
19:45You're so right
19:46I mean, look at his caseload
19:47He can't afford to have someone else show him up
19:48There were other cases?
19:51Sorry?
19:51You said the last case you took was the Nevada girl
19:54But there were others
19:55Yeah
19:56Six
19:58Six
19:58Since Amelia Price
19:59Why didn't you tell us?
20:01In some cases, my
20:04Connection was severed
20:05So you lied
20:09Yes
20:10I lied
20:11Did you really want to know
20:13That I stopped
20:14Being able to see four
20:15Of the six children
20:17And that they were later found dead?
20:19Did you really want to know
20:20How often
20:21This doesn't work out?
20:23I'm sorry
20:24But I was protecting you
20:26Rory is alive
20:27That much I know
20:29Just like I knew
20:32About Amelia
20:40The day we found Amelia Price
20:42Was a great day
20:43A great day
20:44I was on Dan, rather
20:46And I remember he called me a hero
20:48And I said, look
20:49The world had given up
20:51But not me
20:52Not the family
20:55And not Lorraine
20:56We had no leads
20:58You know, most of the team
20:59Had been reassigned
21:00It was just me
21:01And the tip desk
21:03Lorraine
21:03Was a godsend
21:05Deserved every bit
21:07Of that reward
21:08And how much of the reward
21:10Did you receive
21:10For solving the case?
21:12None
21:12And how were your financial
21:13Circumstances at the time?
21:14I was doing all right
21:16I picked the Steelers
21:17Over the Seahawks
21:18In the Super Bowl
21:19So
21:19So you weren't experiencing
21:20Any financial hardship
21:21In 2006, correct?
21:23Not particularly
21:24Your Honor
21:25I'd like to
21:25Offer into evidence
21:26The following document
21:31Detective
21:32Do you recognize
21:32What this is?
21:35Yeah
21:36It's a letter
21:37From the court
21:38From March 2006
21:39You're eight months
21:40Behind on your child support
21:41Well, yeah
21:42But
21:42Explain the highlighted portion
21:44On the list of assets
21:45From your divorce settlement
21:46Uh, this has nothing
21:48To do with
21:49I had just bought
21:50A new Ford F-150
21:52I was paying it off
21:53Look, I saved up
21:54I got a promotion
21:55I could pull in more overtime
21:57Once the price case
21:58Was off my desk
21:59All right
21:59You said you were
22:00The only one
22:01Monitoring the tip line
22:02And had a tip come in
22:03You would have received
22:05None of the reward money
22:07Correct?
22:08That's what I said
22:09So just at the time
22:10That you were short on funds
22:12An outside party
22:13Who claimed to have
22:15A supernatural gift
22:16Happened to offer up
22:17Information that would
22:19Reinforce her claim
22:20And secure her
22:21The reward money
22:21Hold on
22:22Wouldn't you both
22:22Have benefited
22:23From splitting the reward money?
22:25That's not at all
22:25What happened
22:26All right
22:26I did my job
22:28I brought Amelia home
22:29And I'm not the one
22:30On trial here
22:31No further questions
22:32Your Honor
22:39I can't get my statements
22:41The bank's records
22:42Don't go back that far
22:44But I used the reward
22:45To pay off my credit card debt
22:47I didn't know
22:47I didn't know that man
22:48Before
22:48I didn't speak to him
22:50After
22:50You have to trust me
23:04Detective Serrano
23:06You have stated
23:07That the defendant
23:08Fed the Connellys
23:09False hope
23:10That her so-called visions
23:11Had nothing to do
23:12With the disappearance
23:13Of Roy Connelly
23:14Can you state that
23:15Conclusively?
23:16Yes I can
23:17And how do you know
23:17That for a fact?
23:23Frank?
23:24Maybe it's better
23:24If we sit
23:25No I don't want to sit down
23:26Just say it
23:27Miss Connelly
23:29I have some news
23:30It's not good news
23:32But maybe I hope
23:33It'll bring you
23:34Some amount of peace
23:37Last night
23:37We charged the man
23:38With the murder
23:39Of your son
23:42No
23:44How do you know?
23:46He confessed
23:48Oh no
23:56Four days ago
23:59A retired contractor
24:00Named Matthew Lee Boyd
24:02Was stopped
24:02At a DUI checkpoint
24:03In Virginia
24:05His fingerprints
24:06Match those of a case
24:07Of a missing Pittsburgh boy
24:09Noah Jackson
24:09In the trunk of his car
24:11We found children's toys
24:12And zip ties
24:13Now while under interrogation
24:16He admitted to two more murders
24:18One boy had gone missing
24:20In Richmond
24:20That's Caden Greer
24:21And the second
24:23Was Rory
24:28Did he
24:30Did he tell you
24:31He took Rory?
24:33He was on a bender
24:34So he doesn't remember much
24:36But he is cooperating
24:37It'll take some time
24:39To track down the bodies
24:40But for now
24:41We have his license plate charged
24:43With a highway toll
24:44An I-85
24:45Around the time
24:45That Rory disappeared
24:47Are you sure
24:47No you don't talk
24:48You don't say
24:49One single damn thing
25:02What are you doing?
25:04Why aren't you packing?
25:05Do you need some help?
25:06Here
25:07I'll help you
25:10I told you to get out
25:11What is wrong with you?
25:12Why won't you go?
25:13Hey
25:13The police have it wrong
25:21The police have it wrong
25:23How do you know?
25:24Oh Frank
25:24Please don't keep
25:25Falling for it
25:26How can they say
25:27Anything conclusively
25:28If there's no
25:29Physical evidence?
25:30Evidence?
25:30Yuri T leaves
25:32Don't talk to us
25:33About evidence
25:36I swear
25:37I can still feel him
25:38Yeah
25:38So can I
25:40But he was my son
25:41And I knew him
25:42And you didn't
25:43And you watched
25:44This news clip
25:45And hallucinated a boy
25:47That was already dead
25:48You leech
25:49Just
25:51Get her out of here
26:14Wait
26:15Lorraine
26:17Maybe I'm stupid
26:18For still believing you
26:19Maybe it's just
26:21Wishful thinking
26:21But I don't want you to go
26:24Cause once you go
26:25It's over
26:26I'm never finding him
26:32So Frank kept her around
26:34And that's when
26:35All hell broke loose
26:36Inside
26:37A man is being charged
26:38For three murders
26:39But there are only
26:39Two bodies
26:41I feel for the parents
26:42Of Noah Jackson
26:43And Caden Greer
26:44Who are experiencing
26:45The unimaginable
26:46But at least they know
26:47What happened to their child
26:49I don't
26:50Matthew Lee Boyd
26:51Has not been able
26:52To point to Rory's body
26:54He doesn't know
26:55The true crime podcasts
26:57The social media sleuths
26:58Someone found CCTV footage
27:00Of a blue 98 sedan
27:01Near the convention center
27:03That day
27:03So that meant
27:04Lorraine must be right
27:05Right now
27:05I'm focused on convicting
27:07A confessed criminal
27:08Okay
27:08So please
27:08Out of my way
27:09I understand why
27:10Detective Serrano
27:11Wants his case closed
27:12But he hasn't produced
27:13Sufficient proof
27:14You don't always get
27:15The physical evidence
27:16But I'm pretty damn close
27:17If the police are asking me
27:19To abandon hope
27:20That my son is alive
27:21I need certainty
27:23Not pretty damn close
27:25You can't blame
27:26A grieving father
27:27Who wanted to keep
27:28His boy alive
27:29But what did she want
27:31Why couldn't she let it go
27:33Maybe she needed to keep
27:34Her resume clean
27:35For next time
27:41Can I come in
27:43Yes of course
27:49I found this place
27:50In her credit card statements
27:5460 bucks a night
27:56Highway robbery
27:57Well Frank said
27:57Frank doesn't have
27:58In him to tell you no
28:00Same as with Rory
28:03He lets you take
28:04Advantage of him
28:05Rory couldn't take
28:06Advantage of you
28:07Could he
28:09No
28:10I was the strict one
28:11Someone had to be
28:13Yeah
28:14Otherwise he'd be up
28:16Till midnight
28:16Every night
28:16Eating fruit loops
28:19And you thought
28:20When he was older
28:21He would understand
28:24I figured he'd have
28:25Self-control
28:26And teeth with no cavities
28:27And he'd thank me
28:28Yeah
28:30But now he's gone
28:33And he knew me
28:34As the lady
28:35Who only said no
28:37I'm sure
28:38The district attorney
28:39Reached out to me
28:40They want to prosecute you
28:41For exploiting our situation
28:42And standing in the way
28:43Of an investigation
28:45These things carry prison time
28:48Forfeiture of assets
28:53Why are you telling me this?
28:56They won't have a case
28:57Without my testimony
28:57So I won't cooperate
28:59Oh
29:00On one condition
29:03Tell Frank you got it wrong
29:06Tell him Rory's gone
29:09Melissa
29:09As long as you keep his hope alive
29:11This wound will never heal
29:12And
29:13And
29:14We have to move on
29:15And it is not too late
29:17And we could start over
29:18And
29:19Please
29:21Please
29:23I've already lost my son
29:25I can't lose my husband too
29:30I didn't ask for this
29:32I saw something
29:35You said it had enough truth to it
29:37That I should uproot my life
29:38And yes
29:39I didn't leave much behind
29:41And yes
29:41I accepted your money
29:43But
29:43That doesn't mean
29:44I am a fraud
29:46Please
29:47Just tell me how much
29:48Please
29:52Look at where I am
29:55If I could be bought
29:56Don't you think
29:57I would have been bought
29:58If
29:59If I were a fraud
30:00I would cut my losses
30:02And take the get out of jail free card
30:04If
30:04If I were a fraud
30:05I would be able to sleep at night
30:07Without seeing a missing child
30:09I never knew
30:10Do you have any idea
30:12What this gift has cost me
30:15A marriage
30:16A family
30:18Everyone wants me to see something
30:20But if I can't
30:21Or if I do
30:22But it's not the right thing
30:23Then I am a con artist
30:24And a liar
30:26I don't see
30:28Lottery numbers
30:29I see pain
30:33I
30:33I turn toward it
30:39Because I am the only one who can
30:54Why didn't Matthew Lee Boyd's case go to trial
30:57He took a plea
30:58Three life sentences
30:59Was that your recommendation?
31:01Absolutely not
31:02I said forget the death penalty
31:04I'll strangle him myself
31:06But when it came down to it
31:07I could forgo the punishment
31:09To save the families
31:10From sitting through a trial
31:11So in other words
31:12He was so guilty
31:13Beyond all reasonable doubt
31:14A trial would only serve to
31:15Prolong the victim's family's pain?
31:18Correct
31:18Your honor
31:19I'd like to offer the following video
31:20Into evidence
31:21Detective
31:22What do you recognize this video to be?
31:25That is my interrogation
31:26Of Matthew Lee Boyd
31:29There's another one isn't there?
31:31There was a third
31:32A third kid?
31:34Boyd?
31:35The boy yeah
31:37Where?
31:37I don't remember
31:38Yeah you do?
31:39What do you remember?
31:42Are they gonna kill me?
31:43Maybe
31:43He's a capital crimes
31:45If you cooperate
31:47We may not pursue the death penalty
31:49Where was the third boy?
31:51Near the water
31:52Big crowd
31:53A convention?
31:57Yeah
31:58A convention
32:01So Boyd had no lawyer
32:03During a confession
32:04That led to a guilty plea
32:05And no trial
32:06During which that confession
32:07Could be properly examined?
32:08He waived his right to a lawyer
32:09If he pointed you
32:10To the other two bodies
32:11Within hours
32:11Why not make the location
32:13Of the third body
32:13A condition of the plea agreement?
32:15It wasn't up to me
32:16Did you recommend
32:17Not pursuing the death penalty
32:18In order to elicit a confession
32:20For Rory Conley's murder?
32:21Yes
32:22That's how confessions happen
32:24Even knowing his confession
32:25Rested upon information
32:26You yourself gave him
32:36Do you swear that the evidence
32:38You give to the court
32:39Shall be the truth
32:40The whole truth
32:41And nothing but the truth
32:42So help you God
32:42I do
32:47When did you first become aware
32:49You possess such an extraordinary gift?
32:53I was too young to remember
32:55When my brother
32:56Was shipped off to Vietnam
32:58But I remember
32:59When my family got the call
33:02Saying his unit
33:03Had gone out on night patrol
33:05And never come back
33:06Four confirmed dead
33:08Two missing in action
33:09We knew what that meant
33:10It was dead
33:10But no bodies
33:11My mother
33:13Was out of her mind
33:15Joe was the oldest
33:17Her golden boy
33:19I didn't understand
33:21What was happening
33:21I couldn't
33:24Console her
33:26One day I was in
33:27Joe's room
33:30And
33:31I saw him
33:34Somewhere far away
33:35Wrapped in a checkerboard quilt
33:39Green and white
33:41What did you make of it?
33:43I knew it was an hallucination
33:45I tried to imagine
33:46Where he was before
33:47But this was different
33:48I knew
33:51This
33:52Was happening
33:54I knew
33:56He was alive
33:58Did your family believe you?
34:01My mother didn't
34:02Need any convincing
34:03We'd sit
34:04Together at night
34:06And
34:06I'd tell her
34:08What I saw
34:10How Joe needed a
34:12Haircut
34:13And
34:16A shower
34:17And then
34:18You got the call
34:20Yes
34:21They had negotiated
34:22His release
34:24From a prison camp
34:26And he was alive
34:27And coming home
34:31And
34:33And
34:34And it was
34:35It was like
34:35Our lives
34:36Were starting up again
34:39The day after
34:41He came back
34:42He said
34:42That the one
34:43Thing
34:44That kept him going
34:45Was playing chess
34:49And it turned out
34:50That
34:52That chess board
34:53Was
34:54Green and white
34:58We have some clippings
34:59From the local paper
35:00To offer into evidence
35:12So
35:13If you are a fraud
35:15Is it fair to say
35:16You
35:17Began your grift
35:18Quite early
35:20And for no money
35:21At all
35:26Miss How
35:27Did it feel good
35:29Seeing how grateful
35:30The Connellys were
35:31How much your information
35:32Meant to them
35:33I was happy
35:34To be able
35:34To provide that
35:35Hope
35:36Just as I'm sure
35:37You were happy
35:38To provide that hope
35:39To your own mother
35:40Yes
35:40Now you said
35:41That your brother
35:41Was the golden child
35:43What did that make you
35:44I was shy
35:45Quiet
35:46The youngest of five
35:48My mother
35:49Was sure
35:50I would ruin my eyesight
35:51With how much time
35:51I spent reading
35:52But
35:52She was much more
35:54Focused on my brothers
35:55And when you were
35:55The only one
35:56That knew your brother
35:57Was alive
35:57Did it bring you together
35:59Yes
36:00We leaned on each other
36:01Gosh
36:02That feeling
36:03That feeling
36:04Of being a hero
36:05Being important
36:08Must have been intoxicating
36:11I suppose
36:12I was very young
36:13Well fast forward
36:14To now
36:14You've had some
36:15Very high profile successes
36:17Some quiet failures
36:19Tell me
36:20Why do you keep
36:21Going back to it
36:22Because
36:23I
36:24I
36:25I
36:26I have to
36:27You have to
36:29You have to what
36:30Make up for your
36:31First greatest failure
36:34Please tell us about
36:35The passing of your brother
36:40Four years after
36:41He came home
36:42He was killed
36:43In a head on collision
36:44With a drunk driver
36:45On route 108
36:46He was on his way
36:47To pick me up
36:48From school
36:48And when you failed
36:49To foresee the accident
36:50Did you blame yourself
36:52He was on his way
36:53To pick me up
36:54How could I not
36:55But I
36:56I never
36:57Claimed
36:58To be able to see
36:59The future
36:59I wish I could
37:00But your mother
37:01Believed wholeheartedly
37:02In your gift
37:03Didn't she
37:04And did that belief
37:05Lead her to place
37:06All the responsibility
37:07For keeping your brother
37:08Safe onto you
37:09She didn't blame me
37:10No
37:12But she never
37:13Quite trusted me again
37:15And what about
37:15The rest of your family
37:16Would you consider
37:17Yourselves estranged
37:20No
37:20When was the last time
37:22You saw them
37:242002
37:24At my mother's funeral
37:26Is that why
37:27You seek out
37:27New families
37:29Desperate
37:29Broken ones
37:30Like the Connellys
37:31Who welcomed you
37:32With open arms
37:37I just
37:38Want to help
37:39Maybe
37:41Maybe by offering them
37:42What you couldn't provide
37:43For your own family
37:44Gives you meaning
37:45In your life
37:46If I did this
37:46Only for myself
37:47I'd have learned
37:48By now
37:49To stay far
37:50Far away
37:51And yet you spent
37:52Your life seeking
37:53To be indispensable
37:54To people in pain
37:55Haven't you
37:56Would you say
37:57Miss Howell
37:58That the trouble
37:59With an unpredictable
37:59Gift felt only
38:01By the one
38:01Who possesses it
38:02Is that it bears
38:02A striking resemblance
38:03To somebody
38:05Just making guesses
38:07But I
38:08I'm not
38:09Just making guesses
38:12I'm
38:13I'm not
38:13Lying
38:14But how can you
38:15Be sure you're
38:16Telling the truth
38:17I mean after all
38:18Is it a truly
38:19Successful fraudster's
38:20First victim
38:21Herself
38:24No further questions
38:26Your Honor
38:29In a trial for fraud
38:30The state is required
38:31To prove three things
38:32Beyond a reasonable doubt
38:34One
38:34That the defendant
38:35Knowingly
38:36Misrepresented facts
38:38Two
38:38The defendant
38:39Had an intent
38:40To deceive
38:41And succeeded
38:42In that deceit
38:43And three
38:44The deception
38:45Was done
38:46For financial benefit
38:47It's not a question
38:48Of whether the defendant
38:49Was right or wrong
38:50That much
38:51We may never know
38:52It's not a question
38:52Whether she profited
38:53Financially
38:54When all is said and done
38:55It doesn't even matter
38:57Whether you believe
38:58She's entirely delusional
38:59What it comes down to
39:00Is this
39:01Did Lorraine Howell
39:03Believe
39:04What she was telling
39:05The Conleys
39:07The girl
39:08Who kept her family's
39:09Hope alive
39:10The woman
39:11Who knowingly
39:12Exposes herself
39:13To some of the worst
39:14Pain in the world
39:15Does that woman
39:17Have faith
39:18In her own gift
39:46I don't want the money back
39:50I don't want her
39:51To go to jail
39:51I didn't do it
39:52To punish her
39:53I did it
39:53To convince you
39:55Maybe seeing it
39:55All laid out in court
39:56You saw the same
39:57Tape I saw
39:58It wasn't a real
39:59Confession
39:59Stop
40:04I can't keep going
40:05Around and around
40:06There will always
40:07Be reasons to doubt
40:12What kind of father
40:13Would I be
40:13If I gave up
40:18You were a wonderful father
40:22And you could be again
40:28But I'm tired
40:29Of hoping for you
40:32I can't do it anymore
40:38Has the jury
40:39Reached a verdict
40:39We have
40:40Your honor
40:41We the jury
40:42In the case
40:43Of the state
40:44Of North Carolina
40:44Versus Lorraine Howell
40:46Find the defendant
40:47Not guilty
40:52Jurors
40:53Thank you
40:53For your service
40:54This court
40:55Is adjourned
40:57All rise
41:07Congratulations
41:07Thank you
41:08Lorraine
41:09Lorraine
41:14You'll call me
41:15Right
41:16Even if you think
41:17Something's too small
41:18I want to
41:18I want to hear it
41:20Yeah
41:22Yes this isn't over
41:23It isn't over
41:29Thank you
41:49I figured
41:50Since you weren't
41:51Calling me back
41:51You probably didn't
41:52Want me sitting
41:53In the back
41:54Of the court
41:54For the trial
41:55But I wanted
41:56To be here
41:56When it was over
42:02It's good
42:02It's good
42:03To see you
42:04Waiting
42:13Ready to go
42:13Home
42:19Car's fixed
