Short filmTranscript
00:07Rockville is a maximum security facility. You've got a very tall fence with razor wire, rows and
00:15rows of razor wire. There are towers and there's a guard that's armed that drives around the
00:27perimeter. There were around about 1,200 inmates there. Whether it was because it was all women, they
00:35just didn't cause any problems. On August the 4th, 2008, an ordinary day, you just kind of wake up and
00:51yet everybody has their own routine. They run at least three visual body counts a day. You had to be
01:02on
01:02your bunk and show skin for the count. We got counted and then the count ran over. Not abnormal.
01:19And they counted us again. And that's when you, you know, you really start to think what is going on
01:27that
01:27they can't count for where would somebody be? The count was bad. We had two bed counts to verify all
01:34the
01:34empty beds. At 4 o'clock, they had one missing. Very, very unusual. Trying to verify where the offenders are,
01:45where they shouldn't be. The sergeants, the bigwigs, they come in, start counting,
01:52stomping around, huffy puffy. They were mad. And then about a half an hour goes by and you could just,
02:09like, hear the whispers across the dorm.
02:16Unable to locate her on the facility grounds. Somebody said, Sarah's not in her bed.
02:24And I just got a little twinge of excitement in my stomach and I said, she did it. She got
02:35out of here.
02:38Sarah Pender just vanished. You know, we got to get her back. She's already killed two people. Who knows what
02:44she's going to do next? Tonight, a convicted killer is on the loose. A woman escaped from the Rockville
02:50Correctional Facility. A Marion County jury convicted Sarah Pender in the year 2000 in a double murder.
02:57Along with her then boyfriend, Richard Hall, she helped kill a man and a woman and then stashed their bodies
03:02in a dumpster. She has a Charles Manson-like ability to manipulate people and committing crimes.
03:09She looks like a sweet little innocent girl. But within, there's a deep evil demon.
03:17She looks like a girl.
03:18She looks like a boy, and a girl, by the way.
03:19And she looks like a girl.
03:19She looks like a girl, by the way.
03:19Yeah.
03:26We don't know what you're looking for.
03:28Okay, wait a minute. My name is Sarah Pender.
03:37People have called me all sorts of names. They've said that I'm a manipulator,
03:44that I'm psychologically, I'm a psychopath.
03:52Stop looking at me.
03:53This is going to be it.
03:54People call me a happy letter.
03:57Pathological.
04:11Every inmate thinks about escaping prison.
04:15Especially when you have a lot of time.
04:19I was sent to prison for 110 years
04:22for two murders that I did not commit.
04:25I knew that I was going to die in prison.
04:33And then one day,
04:37I thought,
04:39I bet I can get out of here.
04:45I knew that I would need help.
04:49Even if I made it past the guards or through the fence,
04:53I would need someone there to pick me up.
04:57So I definitely needed a partner to help me out.
05:02And then I found one.
05:05Once the gate was open,
05:09I remember walking across the pavement
05:12and it being so hot.
05:16I was so excited.
05:18I was never going back.
05:23This is what I've been waiting for.
05:25So don't flake out now.
05:33I remember looking and seeing cows in the pasture.
05:38Driving through small towns,
05:40looking at all the buildings and small structures,
05:45wondering what all those little people were doing
05:48in their little lives
05:49and how they had no idea what was happening.
05:52I felt completely refreshed.
05:55And I remember hitting the dashboard
05:58and just,
06:00and I was like,
06:02I'm free!
06:11I was down in Florida
06:12and I get a phone call
06:18and it was Sarah.
06:21And then it dawned on me,
06:22well,
06:23normally when she would call me from prison,
06:26the operator comes on
06:28and that didn't come on
06:29and it was Sarah's voice.
06:30And I was like,
06:32well,
06:33where are you calling me from?
06:35I'm on a cell phone
06:37and I'm on the road.
06:41And that just threw me for a total loop.
06:46I was standing there with my mouth open,
06:49like,
06:51did she just tell me she walked out of prison?
06:58I'm living out on the West Coast.
07:00The phone rings
07:02and it's Bonnie,
07:03Sarah's mom,
07:05and Sarah had,
07:07had escaped
07:08and she was gone.
07:12110 years,
07:14that's what the judge sentenced Sarah to.
07:18Sarah was,
07:19was 21 when she was arrested.
07:22She had her whole life in front of her.
07:28Growing up,
07:29she's a joyful child.
07:31Her and her sister,
07:32Jennifer,
07:33we were living in Greenfield.
07:36It's a small town
07:37east of Indianapolis.
07:40She was kind
07:42and considerate,
07:45intelligent.
07:48She just amazed me
07:50at how quickly
07:51that she just learned.
07:54It was like
07:55she was two grades
07:57higher than what she was.
08:02Years later,
08:03and, you know,
08:04now,
08:05Sarah graduated from high school
08:06and they got the news
08:08that we'd been accepted at Purdue.
08:10It was a joyous time.
08:15She went straight in
08:17to biophysics,
08:19biochemistry,
08:20trigonometry,
08:21and calculus.
08:25I was lucky
08:26that my father
08:27was very interested
08:28in my education
08:30because he knew
08:31that education
08:32was one of the number one things
08:34that would help
08:35create success in life.
08:43She hadn't even really
08:44got started in her life.
08:47And now,
08:49your daughter
08:50is on the run
08:52from the law.
08:53Yeah,
08:54well,
08:54how can this be?
08:56It just doesn't
08:57make any sense.
09:05I can't believe
09:06she's sitting next to me
09:07in this vehicle
09:09and we're driving away.
09:13Things were just
09:15right,
09:16from movements
09:18that particular day,
09:20to who was
09:21on the gate
09:22that day.
09:25I met Jamie
09:27in county jail.
09:29What started
09:30as a sexual relationship
09:31became a deep friendship
09:33between us
09:34and now,
09:36Jamie had already been
09:37out of jail
09:38for quite some time.
09:41She already had
09:42this free life
09:43that she was risking
09:44for me,
09:45but I trusted that
09:47that she would be there
09:49whenever I got out.
09:52One of the things
09:53that made me
09:54fall in love
09:55with Jamie
09:56was she was
09:57very defiant
09:58and I admired
10:01her guts.
10:04Jamie was down
10:05for anything.
10:07she liked risks
10:09and she liked me.
10:12You know what?
10:13I'm going to be
10:14perfectly honest with you.
10:15I told her,
10:15don't look back.
10:17I loved her enough
10:18to let her go.
10:20You want her to stay out
10:21free?
10:22Yeah, yeah, I do.
10:24You want her to be
10:24free forever?
10:25Yeah, I do.
10:28Run, Sarah, run.
10:42Now, Sarah Pender
10:43is described
10:44as a white female,
10:45five foot eight,
10:46weighing about 200 pounds
10:48with brown hair
10:48and blue eyes.
10:50Police say
10:51they are tracking Pender
10:52and she should be
10:53considered dangerous.
10:55Jamie dropped me off
10:56at the safe house
10:58and left to get me
11:01clean clothes
11:03and hair dye,
11:05a new cell phone,
11:06my money.
11:08We are going to use
11:09every resource
11:10to hunt her down
11:11and find her.
11:13There were a lot
11:14out physically looking.
11:15The entire
11:16Department of Corrections
11:17and Homeland Security,
11:19we didn't know
11:20what she was going to do.
11:22It's concerning
11:22because we don't know
11:24where this woman is,
11:26you know,
11:26we don't know
11:26what she's capable of.
11:28I live about
11:29seven miles south
11:30and there's woods
11:32all around there
11:33so that's always
11:34been a concern.
11:36We didn't have
11:37any evidence
11:38of how she got out.
11:40She didn't breach
11:41the perimeter.
11:43She didn't go over
11:44the fence or anything.
11:46There's only one conclusion
11:48that she went out
11:49through a gate.
11:51To do that,
11:52she had to have
11:52an accomplice,
11:54a correctional officer.
11:56They reviewed a lot
11:57of tapes
11:57and they come up
11:59with a primary suspect,
12:01Scott Spitler,
12:03the correctional officer,
12:04because he went out
12:06about the time
12:07that she had gotten out.
12:09I know
12:10the Spitler guy
12:12has to be the one
12:13that did it.
12:14I said,
12:15I want to see him.
12:18I got him
12:18in the interview room.
12:20I asked him
12:21if he would take
12:22a voice stress test
12:23and he said,
12:24yes.
12:25It's a lie detector
12:26of sorts.
12:28I mean,
12:29he was nervous,
12:30he was stuttering.
12:31and the guilt
12:32was pouring out
12:33out of it.
12:34And he failed it
12:36badly,
12:37real bad.
12:39And finally,
12:40he confessed.
12:42He told us everything
12:43about how he
12:45helped her get out.
12:50Planning my escape
12:51took several months.
12:54I knew that
12:55I would need money
12:56once I got out.
12:57So,
12:58I began to
12:59watch
13:01and pay attention,
13:04consider,
13:05and
13:05look for opportunities.
13:09I identified
13:10Scott Spitler
13:11and I befriended him.
13:15I would pay him
13:16to bring in
13:17contraband.
13:19Cell phones,
13:20tobacco,
13:22Benadryl.
13:23I sent
13:24the money
13:25that I made
13:26to my friend
13:28Jamie.
13:30Jamie held
13:31the money aside
13:31so that I would
13:32have it
13:33whenever I got out.
13:35And at this point,
13:38Scott saw
13:38an opportunity
13:39to make even
13:40more money
13:43because he knew
13:44how to get me out.
13:45He asked me
13:46for $15,000
13:48in order for him
13:50to drive me
13:50to the parking lot.
13:52And I agreed.
13:55But as time
13:56went on,
13:57Scott wanted
13:58to have sex
13:58with me.
14:01It's not like
14:02I have a choice.
14:05And so,
14:06I did what
14:07I had to do.
14:12Scott Spitler
14:13told me about
14:14utilizing a van
14:15and went
14:16and went through
14:16the back gates
14:17and let her out
14:19up in the front
14:20parking lot
14:20where Jamie,
14:22a longtime friend
14:23of Sarah's,
14:25picked her up.
14:27I saw Scott
14:28as a means
14:28to an end.
14:30Before I got
14:31out of the van,
14:32I said,
14:33Scott,
14:34I love you
14:34and I will text
14:36you later.
14:37And Scott said,
14:38you better.
14:41She never called.
14:44And I told her,
14:45I said,
14:45it looks pretty
14:46obvious to you.
14:46You got took.
14:49She had the ability
14:50to bring people
14:52into her.
14:55I've never seen
14:56an inmate
14:57like that before.
14:5841-year-old
14:59Scott Spitler.
15:00He is now in jail,
15:02facing seven charges,
15:03including assisting
15:04a criminal,
15:04official misconduct,
15:05and sexual misconduct.
15:07I have no idea
15:08what he was thinking.
15:09If he was manipulated,
15:10she is,
15:11should be considered dangerous.
15:17When we got Jamie's name
15:18out of Spitler,
15:20immediately we go
15:21to the visitation records.
15:23We saw Jamie Long's name
15:26everywhere.
15:28We looked to see
15:29how many times
15:30she had been there,
15:31what her last visit was,
15:34what her address was,
15:37so we got an emergency
15:39response team
15:40to Jamie's house.
15:44So we had a very brief
15:46interview with Jamie,
15:48and she didn't give up
15:50any information.
15:52I looked at my phone.
15:55Jamie texted me.
15:57An officer had talked to her.
16:01She was afraid to come
16:04to the house
16:04because she didn't want
16:06to leave them to me.
16:09I needed my money
16:12to move on.
16:13I don't know what to do.
16:15What do I do?
16:15What do I do?
16:18And, you know,
16:20we didn't waste any time.
16:21And the commissioner
16:23called U.S. Marshal's
16:24Task Force.
16:29Julie's going to get caught,
16:30and you're going to come back,
16:33and nobody's going to care
16:34about you anymore.
16:40Sarah Penner was the first
16:41inmate to ever escape
16:42from this prison,
16:44and they hope she's the last.
16:46Over my three years
16:47working with U.S. Marshal's,
16:48I caught hundreds of murderers.
16:51Not dozens,
16:52hundreds.
16:54We're professionals.
16:57Every 24 hours,
16:59I'd get a phone call.
17:01I was accustomed
17:02to getting the next bad guy
17:04or the next bad girl.
17:07Typically,
17:08we'd catch them pretty quick.
17:10Department of Corrections,
17:12they said that we had
17:13a female breakout.
17:15It wasn't like,
17:17oh, this is an interesting case.
17:19It means she escaped from prison.
17:20I don't get that,
17:22like, emotional towards it.
17:23It's just another fucking fugitive.
17:25She was driven outside the gates
17:26by correctional officer
17:27Scott Spindler.
17:28But also,
17:29it wasn't that she robbed a bank.
17:32She killed two people
17:33and put them in a dumpster.
17:34She's a risk to the public.
17:37Would she kill again?
17:39Probably.
17:40Would she want to go back?
17:42Probably not.
17:43It's a pretty high-level
17:44danger situation.
17:48There's no better thrill
17:50than the hunting of mankind.
17:52You know,
17:52the intellectual being
17:53who can think
17:54who's trying to outthink you.
17:56Is that thrilling?
17:57You better fucking believe
17:58it's thrilling.
17:58You better fucking believe it.
18:0629-year-old Sarah Pender
18:08is still on the run
18:09after breaking out
18:10of the Rockville
18:11Correctional Facility.
18:12She's certainly
18:12a dangerous individual,
18:14has the ability
18:15and the capability
18:16of killing.
18:17The news came on
18:18and they said that
18:19Sarah Pender
18:21had escaped.
18:22My heart sank.
18:25The first time I met Sarah
18:27was in the Marion County Jail.
18:29She was coming in there
18:30for a double murder.
18:33It's like,
18:34I'm thinking some crazy
18:35looking lady's
18:35going to come in.
18:36And she came in
18:38and she was just
18:38a normal person.
18:40She was young.
18:42She was really nervous
18:43and I helped her,
18:45you know,
18:45get settled in.
18:46She was like a daughter.
18:51She's a good person
18:52that she didn't do
18:53anything that she's
18:54accused of.
18:58She wouldn't hurt anybody.
19:05She wouldn't hurt a fly.
19:08No.
19:12She called me.
19:14I just knew in my heart
19:17that I had to help her.
19:19Whatever I could do,
19:20I had to help her.
19:23When I got into Peggy's car,
19:26I think that the first thing
19:27that she said to me was,
19:29Oh my God,
19:30I can't believe you're out.
19:34I knew that
19:35she would help me
19:36get the money from Jamie
19:39to do whatever
19:40I needed to do.
19:49When the Department
19:50of Corrections
19:51shared with me
19:51that Jamie Long
19:52had helped her,
19:54you know that's
19:54a hell of a lead.
19:57Grabbed her gear,
19:58her radios,
19:58her tack vest.
20:00I needed me to talk to her.
20:07Jamie was more scared
20:09than I was,
20:10so she decided
20:12to deliver
20:13the money
20:14undercover
20:15and at McDonald's.
20:18It was a risk.
20:21But without that,
20:23I knew that I was in trouble.
20:28Even though
20:29the police were
20:30on Jamie's tail,
20:32we had already committed
20:33that far,
20:35so
20:36what's one more step?
20:44I was hoping
20:45that the police
20:46had not connected
20:47Peggy to me yet,
20:48even if they were
20:49following Jamie.
20:52However,
20:53I can't just be sitting
20:55in the back
20:55of Peggy's car.
20:59And so I climbed
21:00into her trunk.
21:06I remember feeling
21:07jumper cables
21:08digging into my back.
21:10And it was so hot
21:12and stuffy.
21:14But it was
21:15what I had to do.
21:18Having that money
21:19is essential
21:20to the rest of the plan.
21:23I'm driving
21:24and I'm just looking,
21:25you know,
21:25checking on my mirrors,
21:26thinking,
21:27oh my God,
21:28you know,
21:28are the police following me?
21:30I could have went
21:30back to prison.
21:33I was nervous.
21:36I told Jamie
21:37that I'd meet her
21:38in the bathroom
21:38at a certain time.
21:42I felt the car stop.
21:45The engine shut off.
21:47The door open
21:48and close.
21:52I walked in
21:53and I looked all around,
21:55you know,
21:56scoping out the people
21:57that was in the restaurant.
22:00I got to the bathroom.
22:01I seen some feet
22:03underneath the stall.
22:07And I said,
22:07Jamie?
22:11She said,
22:11yeah.
22:13I said,
22:14okay,
22:14I'm Peggy,
22:14you know.
22:15So I went in the next stall
22:16beside her
22:17and she handed me
22:18the money
22:18underneath the
22:20little partition wall there.
22:24And then when I came
22:25out of the bathroom,
22:26went up to the counter,
22:28and then that's
22:29when I seen Jamie
22:30come out of the bathroom
22:31and leave the McDonald's.
22:40Jamie went home.
22:44Peggy got in the car
22:45and we backed out
22:47of the parking space.
22:55So I took her
22:56to Motel 8
22:58on Shadeland.
23:04When I gave Sarah
23:05the money,
23:06I think she was
23:07a little bit disappointed.
23:13Jamie only gave me $350.
23:17I was expecting
23:18about $3,500.
23:22Jamie was afraid
23:23to bring the full amount.
23:26she was really worried
23:28about, you know,
23:30getting caught.
23:31And now I just had to wait,
23:34hoping that she would give me
23:37the rest of the money
23:38at a later date.
23:42But my gut emotion was fear.
23:46I knew that the possibility
23:48was there for her
23:50to be arrested.
24:07I went straight
24:09to Jamie's house.
24:11And when she came
24:13to the door,
24:14you could see
24:15that she was concerned.
24:21I identified myself
24:22with the U.S. Marshals.
24:24She was,
24:26I had nothing to say,
24:27basically out of the box.
24:29She wasn't cooperative.
24:30I was very open
24:31and honest with Jamie.
24:31Hey, Jamie,
24:32you know you're in trouble.
24:33And you know you're going to,
24:34you know,
24:35Spittler is already arrested,
24:36but it's going to happen.
24:37You know it's going to happen.
24:40But she told me,
24:41she goes,
24:43I don't know where she's at.
24:44She's somewhere
24:44on the east side of Annapolis.
24:46I can call her for you.
24:48Did that surprise me?
24:51It did,
24:51but I was rolling with it.
24:58The phone rang.
25:01And it was Jamie.
25:03She answered.
25:06I knew
25:07something was off
25:09immediately.
25:14Jamie sounded
25:16panicked.
25:18She had a lot more
25:19to lose than I did.
25:22Now,
25:23the conversation
25:23was not free-flowing.
25:25Jamie's like,
25:26what's up, Sarah?
25:28How you doing?
25:30She said that
25:31she needed to meet me
25:33in the parking lot
25:33where she dropped me off.
25:35I knew that she hadn't
25:36dropped me off
25:37in the parking lot,
25:38so I told her,
25:39okay,
25:40well,
25:40I'm already out
25:40at the farm.
25:42And Sarah was like,
25:44well,
25:44I'm waking up
25:45at the farmhouse.
25:46It's nice to have breakfast
25:47with the farmer
25:47out in the country.
25:49It was weird stuff.
25:51Right away,
25:51I thought,
25:52they're playing games.
25:55I knew that
25:56either the police
25:57were there
25:58or they were listening in.
26:01But then Sarah hung up.
26:05It was very quick.
26:07My profile of her
26:08started to formulate
26:09that she's not stupid,
26:10she's very smart,
26:11and that she's controlling
26:13her communications now,
26:14and she's not sloppy with it.
26:15This is going to be a challenge.
26:19It was frustrating
26:20because, you know,
26:21Jamie here was still
26:22not cooperative.
26:25So how do I get her
26:26to cooperate with me?
26:27I want her to really
26:28grasp onto,
26:29yeah, I'm fucked.
26:32She had a husband
26:32with her inside,
26:34a very old,
26:35frail man.
26:36His name was Larry.
26:38You could tell
26:39that he was on
26:40his last weeks
26:41of life,
26:42and she was caring for him.
26:44He had oxygen
26:44and medicines everywhere,
26:45but that was good
26:49because I knew
26:50that she was
26:51his caregiver.
26:54And I told him,
26:55I said,
26:55Jamie,
26:56you will get charged.
26:57Understand that,
26:59but I won't lock her up
27:00right now
27:00if you can get her
27:01to help me.
27:04And he was nervous.
27:05He was like,
27:07yeah,
27:08but she's not going
27:08to cooperate with you.
27:09I said, well,
27:10you need to talk
27:10some fucking sense
27:11into her.
27:11I mean,
27:12she's your caregiver.
27:13I mean,
27:14you don't want to lose
27:14your caregiver, do you?
27:16He goes, no.
27:17And he cried.
27:20And then Jamie
27:21had a different tone
27:22with me.
27:24She was very,
27:25very scared.
27:27She said,
27:28follow me upstairs.
27:30I went upstairs
27:31in her room
27:32and she gave me
27:32a shoebox.
27:34And the shoebox
27:35had all the money
27:36in there
27:37that Sarah
27:38wanted to get.
27:41That was a huge
27:42thing to give to me
27:43because right away
27:43that took,
27:44you know,
27:45we took off
27:45her means.
27:46We got something
27:47that she really needed.
27:51I mean,
27:51she was choked.
27:53Who's she going
27:53to turn to?
27:54I mean,
27:55now what?
28:00Deputy Prosecutor
28:01Larry Sells
28:02once called
28:03Sarah Jo Pender
28:04the female
28:05Charles Manson.
28:06When I was
28:07in the hotel,
28:08I changed phones.
28:10I broke the old phone
28:11and started up
28:14the new.
28:14I don't know
28:15what happened
28:15in that house.
28:16What you said
28:17over two people.
28:20I cut my hair
28:23significantly shorter
28:26and dyed it
28:28a darker color.
28:31And that's when
28:32I started thinking
28:33about all the things
28:35that I wish
28:35I had done
28:35differently.
28:41All the choices
28:42that I made
28:42that I regret.
28:49once I went off
28:51to college,
28:52I did not spend
28:53enough time
28:53on my studies
28:57and so my grades
28:59suffered.
29:01I had failed enough
29:03to where I
29:05decided not to go back.
29:10I felt ashamed
29:11that I could not
29:13complete college.
29:15I did not have
29:16an excuse
29:16because I knew
29:17that I was smart enough.
29:20But despite the fact
29:22I was academically
29:23talented,
29:25I did not feel
29:26a great sense
29:27of self-worth
29:28from it.
29:29My self-worth
29:31really came from
29:32making other people happy.
29:35I think that started
29:36after my mom left.
29:43When Sarah was six,
29:46Roland and I
29:46sat there
29:47and tried to explain
29:49that I wasn't
29:50going to be there.
29:51We were going
29:53to divorce.
29:56I didn't have anything
29:57to offer him
29:58at the time
29:59and so I let him
30:02have the children
30:04until I could
30:05better myself.
30:10Sarah never got
30:11in trouble growing up
30:13but I think it was
30:15difficult.
30:16It was very difficult
30:17on her
30:18and there wasn't
30:20much of anything
30:20available in the way
30:22of any kind
30:23of support.
30:24They didn't understand
30:25why I wasn't there.
30:29My mother leaving
30:30created a sense
30:31of abandonment
30:36and so by the time
30:37I was 20,
30:38I was afraid
30:41of being alone.
30:43I wanted someone
30:44to be there
30:45to help me
30:46navigate life
30:47and also
30:48to love me.
30:52That was certainly
30:52the case
30:53at the time
30:54that I met
30:55Rick.
30:58Pender was
30:59serving time
30:59for a double murder
31:00in Marion County
31:01back in 2000.
31:02Police came
31:03to believe
31:04that 22-year-old
31:05Richard Hall
31:05was the likely murderer.
31:07Hall eventually
31:07was sentenced
31:08to 90 years
31:09in prison.
31:10Investigators thought
31:11she was the brains
31:12behind the killing.
31:20if I could go
31:21back from the
31:22very first time
31:23that I met
31:23Sarah,
31:24I would just
31:24leave.
31:29I mean,
31:29it cost me
31:30my family
31:31being with her.
31:35So no,
31:36yeah,
31:36there's,
31:36yeah,
31:37I would definitely
31:38leave.
31:41We could always
31:42play the
31:42what if game.
31:44What if I would
31:45have turned
31:46left instead
31:46of a turning
31:47right?
31:47You know,
31:48I could do
31:49that all day
31:51and beat
31:52myself up
31:52all day.
31:57But
31:59I actually,
32:00at one point
32:00in time,
32:01I could say
32:01that I did love
32:02her.
32:06What attracted
32:07me to Sarah
32:08was her
32:08personality
32:09that she
32:09had.
32:10She was
32:11fun.
32:11She had
32:12a good heart
32:12then.
32:13I mean,
32:13we had a
32:15good relationship,
32:16I guess.
32:17I mean,
32:17it was,
32:18things kind
32:19of was a
32:20blur and
32:21happened so
32:22fast.
32:24When I met
32:25Rick,
32:26he was both
32:27manly and
32:29sensitive.
32:31Rick put his
32:32arm around me
32:33and he said,
32:34stick with me,
32:34kid,
32:35and I'll take
32:35care of you.
32:36And it felt
32:37so good.
32:45Sarah told me,
32:47well,
32:48I have a
32:49boyfriend.
32:51And I said,
32:52oh?
32:53I said,
32:55where'd the
32:55boyfriend come
32:56from?
32:56Is he from
32:57Purdue, too,
32:58and that?
32:58And she goes,
32:59no.
32:59She told me his
33:00name was
33:01Richard Hall.
33:05I said,
33:07is he good
33:07to you?
33:08She said,
33:09yes,
33:09mom.
33:10And he loves
33:11me.
33:12And he's my
33:13protector.
33:16In the
33:17beginning,
33:18Rick told me
33:19that he
33:20worked at
33:22a carpet
33:22cleaning business.
33:28It wasn't
33:29long after
33:29that that I
33:30found out
33:30that his
33:31real job
33:32was dealing
33:32drugs.
33:34When she
33:35first met
33:36me,
33:36she knew
33:36I was
33:37into the
33:38business,
33:39in the
33:39drug business,
33:40so it
33:40wasn't like
33:40a huge
33:41surprise to
33:42her.
33:42You know,
33:43I mean,
33:44that's what
33:45we were out
33:45there doing
33:46was having
33:47a big
33:47old party.
33:51I was
33:52very smitten,
33:53and I
33:56felt like
33:57it was an
33:57adventure.
34:05After a
34:06few weeks
34:06together,
34:07Rick told
34:08me that
34:09his friend
34:10Drew and
34:11Drew's
34:11girlfriend,
34:12Trish,
34:13were traveling
34:14from
34:15Nevada
34:17and needed
34:18a place
34:18to stay
34:19for a
34:19little while.
34:22Rick made
34:23it clear
34:23that the
34:24less that
34:25I knew,
34:25the better
34:26off that
34:26I was.
34:28They looked
34:29like any
34:29too normal,
34:31hippie
34:32couple.
34:35We found
34:36a house
34:37on South
34:37Meikle
34:37Street.
34:38We all
34:39moved in
34:39together.
34:41I had
34:42no frame
34:42of reference
34:43for what
34:44might happen.
34:48All I knew
34:49was that I
34:49wanted to
34:50be loved
34:51and to
34:52stay in
34:52that loving
34:54relationship.
34:57I really
34:58had this vision
34:59that we would
35:00move to the
35:00suburbs and
35:02get a small
35:03house, a picket
35:05fence, a dog,
35:06you know, start
35:07living the
35:07American dream
35:08just like
35:09anyone else.
35:12But it was
35:13like two
35:13different worlds.
35:16I would
35:17party with
35:17Rick on the
35:17weekends and
35:19then sober up
35:20on Sunday
35:20and go to
35:21work on
35:21Monday.
35:24While I
35:25went to
35:26work at a
35:26construction
35:27company,
35:28Drew and
35:29Rick would
35:30deal drugs.
35:36We
35:36actually used
35:37to drive
35:38around
35:40Indianapolis
35:40and throughout
35:41Noblesville.
35:42And if you've
35:43ever seen a
35:44movie,
35:44Fair and Loving
35:45Las Vegas
35:46with Johnny
35:46Death,
35:47when they're
35:48carrying around
35:49a little
35:50suitcase full
35:50of drugs,
35:51you know,
35:51a briefcase
35:52full of drugs,
35:52that was us.
35:54You know,
35:55I used to
35:55tell people,
35:56man, we got
35:56uppers,
35:57downers,
35:57iners,
35:57outers,
35:58and all
35:58arounders.
35:59Whatever you
35:59want, it's
36:00there.
36:04I didn't
36:05get good
36:05vibes.
36:07I thought,
36:08okay,
36:09they're dealing
36:10drugs.
36:11It frightened
36:13me a little.
36:15I just had
36:16this tremendous
36:18urge to put
36:22her in the
36:22car, take
36:23off.
36:26And you
36:27have that
36:27overwhelming
36:28feeling.
36:30I need
36:31to get
36:31her out
36:32of here.
36:33But it
36:33didn't
36:34turn out
36:35that way.
36:40The victims,
36:41a white
36:41man and
36:42woman,
36:42were discovered
36:43last night
36:44in a dumpster
36:44behind the
36:45Teamsters Hall
36:46in the 800
36:46block of
36:47South
36:47Meridian.
36:4825-year-old
36:49Andrew
36:50Petaldi,
36:51he and his
36:51girlfriend,
36:5226-year-old
36:53Trisha Nordman,
36:54had been
36:54shot to death.
36:56Investigators knew
36:57two to search
36:58their house on
36:59South Michael
36:59Street.
37:00Police think
37:01that's where
37:02the couple
37:02died.
37:06Two hours ago,
37:08a U.S.
37:08marshal-led task
37:09force apprehended
37:10Indiana's second
37:11most wanted
37:12suspect.
37:12The alleged
37:13person who drove
37:14the getaway car
37:15bore a twice-convicted
37:16killer.
37:16Ma'am,
37:17anything you
37:17want to say
37:18about your
37:18situation?
37:20Did you drive
37:21Sarah Pender
37:21from prison?
37:23The marshals
37:24arrested 42-year-old
37:25Jamie Long
37:26on a charge
37:26of aiding
37:27an escape.
37:29Jamie knew
37:30the consequences.
37:34That loyalty
37:35and obedience
37:36is mind-blowing,
37:38it's bizarre,
37:40but she was
37:41that madly
37:43in love with
37:43her.
37:46I'm not the
37:46first person
37:47to say that
37:47Sarah Pender
37:48is a manipulator.
37:51There's a common
37:51thing, she gets
37:52people to do
37:53things that
37:53aren't normal.
37:56She gets people
37:57to do things
37:58that land them
37:58in prison.
38:07I needed
38:08intelligence.
38:10There was
38:10one piece of
38:11evidence that was
38:11given to me
38:12very early on
38:13is they gave
38:13me the phone
38:13number of
38:15the phone
38:15that she had
38:16while she
38:16was in prison.
38:19I got the
38:19cell phone
38:20records.
38:21I saw the
38:22name Peggy.
38:24She was up
38:25there in the
38:26top ten.
38:28Peggy's address
38:29came back to
38:30a house in
38:30Indianapolis.
38:37You know, you
38:37lived in the
38:38neighborhood all
38:38your life.
38:39You know
38:39your neighbors.
38:42There was a
38:43strange truck
38:44parked down
38:45the street.
38:50And then
38:51me and my
38:52daughter left
38:54and I noticed
38:56that truck was
38:56following us.
39:03me and my
39:04daughter pulled
39:04up at my
39:05sister's house.
39:06The truck pulled
39:07up behind us
39:08in the driveway.
39:09And then when I
39:11actually got out
39:12of the car,
39:13I looked and I
39:14seen the street
39:17was full of cop
39:17cars.
39:19And then the
39:20marshal,
39:23they all had
39:24their guns out.
39:27I was
39:27frightened.
39:30I told my
39:30daughter to get
39:31in the house.
39:33Don't stop.
39:34And they tried,
39:35they yelled at her
39:36to stop and I
39:36told her, no,
39:37you get in the
39:37house.
39:39You know
39:40why?
39:41That's what
39:41they paid me
39:42to do.
39:42You can't be a
39:43pussy and do
39:44this.
39:46Because you
39:47can't handle
39:48these people
39:48with the soft
39:49kid gloves.
39:49You can't.
39:51U.S.
39:52Marshal
39:53Ryan Harmon
39:56He just
39:58portrayed
39:59himself to
40:00be
40:02just like
40:03a big bad
40:04guy.
40:05Like, you
40:06know, I'm
40:07going to get
40:07your friend
40:08no matter
40:08what.
40:11They went
40:11in and
40:12searched
40:13upstairs and
40:14downstairs
40:14looking for
40:16Sarah.
40:18They didn't
40:19look like they
40:19were too
40:20happy that
40:20they couldn't
40:22find her
40:22there.
40:26they asked
40:26me if I
40:27knew where
40:27Sarah Pender
40:28was.
40:32I was a
40:33nervous wreck
40:36because I
40:36didn't know
40:38I didn't know
40:39what to say
40:40or really
40:40do.
40:43Peggy was
40:44a very
40:47wiry,
40:48nervous,
40:50oh shit
40:50kind of
40:52a person.
40:53Oh.
40:56Which was
40:57good.
40:57Just do
40:58what's right.
41:03Wow.
41:04This brings
41:04up a lot
41:05of memories.
41:06And she
41:06did.
41:11I was
41:11laying on
41:12the bed
41:13and I
41:14was
41:14thinking
41:15that I
41:16had to
41:16get out
41:16of that
41:17motel
41:18room.
41:20Suddenly
41:21there was
41:21a knock
41:21on the
41:22door.
41:24My heart
41:24dropped
41:25to the
41:26floor.
41:27Nobody
41:27would be
41:28knocking
41:28on the
41:28door.
41:29I don't
41:30want to
41:30go back
41:30to prison.
41:31I
41:33thought
41:34holy
41:35shit.
