8
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.719
Welcome to you, seekers and true crime junkies. Welcome back
9
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.240
to another episode of Hit the Roadjack Finding the Zodiac.
10
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.399
I am coming at you with a pre record this
11
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.319
week because we have the Aftershock Festival this weekend for
12
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.959
four days straight, one hundred and sixty bands. I'm extremely
13
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.319
excited for this. I actually just finished doing another pre
14
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:18.760
record with Dean the pipe Man Piper well On. Actually
15
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.400
if you could throw up on the chat? What when
16
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.159
that is going to air for me? So I can
17
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.680
let everybody know. We did a pre record on the
18
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.319
Peter Wilson case, in which case we discuss the evidence.
19
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.879
The follow up to that particular case at this point
20
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.840
in time is that I've received a couple responses back.
21
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.560
As I've indicated, I've worked hard at submitting this to
22
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.439
individuals that I hope we'll be able to help or
23
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.480
assist in getting the information and the word out in
24
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.599
regards to the writ of Habeas Corpus for mister Wilson,
25
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.359
one of the responses came from the Innocence Project, which
26
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.760
I submitted the paperwork too, and I did receive that
27
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:05.239
response back them, thanking me obviously for having worked on
28
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.360
this project, that there was nothing that they could assist
29
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.159
in as far as the rit of Hadeas Corpus was concerned,
30
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.479
but that you feel that he is innocent. And then
31
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.719
a doctor's report was submitted to me by the client
32
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.879
by mister Wilson this last week, in which case a
33
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.719
medical doctor who reviews forensics and different information in cases
34
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.520
has also looked over his information and determined that he
35
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.159
is likely innocent as well. So we have a lot
36
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.439
of people coming in at this point that are asserting
37
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.800
their opinions in regards to his case, and I really
38
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.360
honestly hope that that writ of Haideas Corpus is answered
39
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:51.599
here soon. Let's see Dean's podcast is on this Wednesday,
40
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.039
Is that at ten am Eastern Standard time? That is
41
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.599
because I want to be able to give people the
42
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:08.240
right timeframe one pm Eastern time. Okay, so that's going
43
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.800
to be on Talk four TV if I'm correct, at
44
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.439
one pm Eastern time this Wednesday, you'll get to see
45
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:22.000
the interview of Dean Oh. Sorry, W four C why
46
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.879
dot com Again, that's W four cy dot com one
47
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.080
pm Eastern time and you'll be able to see that interview.
48
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.400
On the Peter Wilson case. Another case that just came
49
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.759
to light appears two days ago. They have determined they
50
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.840
have made an identification in the yogurt shop murders, which
51
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.960
is a case that we spoke about in this presentation
52
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.280
within the last couple weeks. It occurred in nineteen ninety
53
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.319
one December of nineteen ninety one, when I believe Jack
54
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.719
was separated from Nora. The interesting part of this case
55
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.599
is that they had evidently attempted to convict four individuals
56
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.400
for it too. They were successful in the convict of
57
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.400
and at least one of them spent fifteen years in
58
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.360
prison before being exonerated and released, which again just describes
59
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.319
all kinds of bad forensics and so forth in order
60
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.879
to have convicted the wrong individual. The scarier part is
61
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.079
is that they're claiming that the DNA they have that's
62
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.600
made this connection to somebody who's also been found culpable
63
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.639
of three other crimes, including rape and murder in completely
64
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.959
different states. Had no ties to Austin whatsoever was not
65
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.800
their working, did not live there, They didn't have any
66
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.720
information for him having been there other than this one
67
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.759
stop that they have now deemed he is responsible for
68
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.199
based on DNA. What really bothers me about that that
69
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.600
in two thousand when these other two individuals were convicted,
70
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:50.399
where was this DNA? Did the prosecutor withhold that DNA
71
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.959
like they did in the Peter Wilson case? Was this
72
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.680
a case of them trying to slam, dunk or convict
73
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.000
and close a case without problem will cause without good forensics?
74
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.480
And now how are we supposed to trust the fact
75
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.120
that the DNA that they now have against this guy
76
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:09.399
who is dead, by the way, he's not going to
77
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.720
be able to defend himself, and if he is the killer,
78
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.800
he's not going to have any retribution or the families
79
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.519
are not going to receive any vindication on him having
80
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.120
gone to jail for the crimes that he committed. But
81
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.480
again taking us back to that DNA, I have to question,
82
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.439
how did you convict an individual if you had DNA
83
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.800
in this case, that ultimately then pointed to somebody else
84
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.319
nearly twenty some years later. Mind boggling. That'll take me
85
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:38.879
to our presentation for today, where we're going to actually
86
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.959
talk about another case that a lot of people believe
87
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.839
the individuals are innocent, that have been convicted of a crime.
88
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.319
And it's called the West Memphis three. If anybody has
89
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:53.920
heard about this case, I know a little bit about it,
90
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.879
can we get the presentation put up there? There we go.
91
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.439
So basically, there is an entire website dedicated to free
92
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.759
the West Memphis three. These three individuals were convicted of
93
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.480
a crime I believe of killing three little boys. But
94
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.600
let's see what the information says. So on May fifth,
95
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.160
nineteen ninety three, three eight year old boys, Steve Branch,
96
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.399
Michael Moore, and Christopher Boy Buyers were reported missing in
97
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.959
West Memphis, Arkansas. Now again, guys, we have the ties
98
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.319
for Jack in Arkansas. We have the ties he has
99
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.079
a peel box in Arkansas, and we know that that
100
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.560
peel box existed at least in nineteen eighty. Of course
101
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.279
that's thirteen years before this. But Jack was known to
102
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.480
have had peel boxes and storage sheds pretty much all
103
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.040
over the place I could count. At least we know
104
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.160
they were here in California and in Arizona, likely when
105
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.879
he moved to Washington. And of course we know that
106
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.959
he stored things back in Texas with his aunt as well.
107
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.560
So anyways, the first report to the police made by
108
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.160
buyers adopted father, John Mark Buyers, around seven pm. The
109
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.399
boys were allegedly lasting together by three neighbors, who and
110
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.319
Affi David's told of seeing them playing together around six
111
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.120
thirty PM the evening they disappeared, and seeing Terry Hobbs,
112
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:18.279
Steve Branch's stepfather, calling them to come home. Initial police
113
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.279
searches made that night were limited. Friends and neighbors also
114
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.839
conducted a search that night, which included a cursory visit
115
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.800
to the location where the bodies were later found. A
116
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.519
more thorough police search for the children began around eight
117
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:36.839
am on May sixth, led by the Creightenedon County Search
118
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.800
and Rescue personnel. Searchers canvassed all of West Memphis, but
119
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.839
focused primarily on Robin Hood Hills, where the boys were
120
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.319
reported last seen. Despite a shoulder to shoulder search of
121
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.759
Robin Hills by a human chain. Searchers found no sign
122
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.199
of the missing boys. Around one forty five pm, juvenile
123
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.839
parole officer Steve Jones spotted a boy's black shoe floating
124
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.920
in a muddy creek that led to a major drainage
125
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.240
canal in robin Hood Hills. A subsequent search of the
126
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.879
ditch revealed the bodies of three boys. They had been stripped,
127
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.000
naked and were hogtied. Now, the hogtide part is really
128
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.680
what caught my attention, because we hear about hogtide in
129
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.399
many of these crimes. Hogtied with their own shoelaces, their
130
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.560
right ankles tied to their right wrists behind their backs,
131
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.560
the same with their left arms and legs. Their clothing
132
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:28.040
was found in the creek, some of it twisted around
133
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.639
sticks that had been thrust into the muddy ditch bed.
134
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.440
The clothing was mostly turned inside out. Two pairs of
135
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:38.440
the boys underwear were never recovered. Christopher Byers had lacerations
136
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.720
to various parts of his body and mutilation of his
137
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.360
scrotum and penis. The autopsies by forensics pathologist Frank J.
138
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.360
Peretti indicated that that Buyers died of multiple injuries. While
139
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.679
Moren Branch died of multiple injuries with drowning. Police initially
140
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:57.039
suspected the boys had been raped. However, later expert testimony
141
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:01.200
disputed this finding. Trace amounts of sperm DNA were found
142
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.519
on a pair of pants recovered from the scene. Prosecution
143
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.960
experts claimed buyers wounds were the results of a knife
144
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.080
attack and that he had been purposely castrated by the murderer.
145
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.679
Defense experts claim the injuries were most likely the result
146
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:19.440
of post mortem animal predate predation. Police believed the boys
147
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.240
were assaulted and killed at the location where they were found.
148
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.519
Critics argued that the assault at least was unlikely to
149
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:28.960
have occurred at the creek. Buyers was the only victim
150
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.159
with drugs in his system. He was prescribed riddlin I'm
151
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.200
not going to try and say that word in January
152
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.000
nineteen ninety three as part of treatment of an intention
153
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.840
deficit hyperactivity disorder. The initial autopsy report describes the drug
154
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.799
as carbon maa zip yap there's another one, and the
155
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.559
dosage at a sub therapeutic level. His father said Buyers
156
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:53.440
may not have taken his prescription on May fifth of
157
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.600
nineteen ninety three, so basically that's kind of a rundown
158
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.720
on what had occurred with those particular murders, and of
159
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.279
course we have these three that have been convicted of
160
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.360
the crime, and this comes in light of again I believe,
161
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:10.879
if I remember the documentary correctly, that they had initially
162
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.000
confessed to the murders and then recanted. But what we're
163
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.279
finding a lot of these cases back in those days
164
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.639
is that they were coercing individuals into confessions, beating them
165
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.919
down for hours and hours and hours. They're sleep deprived,
166
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.519
they're hungry, they want to go home. They're teenagers, I believe,
167
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.240
at this point when they're actually being convicted of these crimes.
168
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.200
So these individuals are highly susceptible to coersion, and we
169
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.039
see it time and time again where the confession is
170
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.120
given just so that individual feels a small bit of relief,
171
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.519
whether it's to lay down and to get some sleep
172
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.360
or to eat some food, only to find out that
173
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:53.679
they've done something so terrible by confessing to a crime
174
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.159
that they didn't commit, that it is going to take years,
175
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.000
if not their entire lifetime to try and unravel and
176
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:02.720
get out of. Too many times do we see that happen.
177
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.000
So I think that might even have been. The case
178
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.000
they were talking about in the yogurt murders is that
179
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.639
there was a confession made and then later they recanted
180
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.200
and it turned out that they were innocent and they
181
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:17.080
had been coerced into giving those confessions as well. I
182
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.759
want to say, where's the police, where's the DA that's
183
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.159
on the side of the public, for those that are right,
184
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.000
that are protecting, rather than trying to just hem up
185
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.879
the first person that they can get convicted for a crime.
186
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.120
That's going to take us right back into Jack Terrence
187
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.399
and what he has going on. Summer of nineteen ninety three,
188
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.279
we show that he is working for Tri Star Security.
189
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.759
They completed their background investigation and found that he had
190
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.919
a prior conviction on the charge in Sacramento. Jack was
191
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.279
fired from a security position at University of Arizona, but
192
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.159
he had already made it in he'd already been there.
193
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.679
I also want to note that while Jack was out
194
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.000
of California, we are not having any murders here. And
195
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.159
I note here that Arizona State University he began cataloging
196
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.000
and storing all strains of anthraxx during the early nineties
197
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.440
and when Jack was a security guard there, So Jack's
198
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:10.279
job following this one is at purin a Mills feed
199
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.120
plant at the east end of flag Staff, so he's
200
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.799
still capable of getting security jobs even with this conviction.
201
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.759
Now I bring this up because the Zodiac Jack preplanned
202
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.840
most of his endeavors, and I contend that later he
203
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.879
is the author of the anthrax mailings which we're going
204
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.720
to talk about. And of course, there was this article
205
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.080
that discussed the type of substance that the anthrax was
206
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:39.879
put into, and it looked like a dog food type substance. Now,
207
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.759
I believe that the Puran of Mills feed plant was
208
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:47.919
actually making pig feed if I'm correct in my memory.
209
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.120
Either way, we know that Purian Mills is your number
210
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:55.919
one maker of dog foods in general. So if that
211
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.200
was the type of material that the anthrax was found in,
212
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.519
then there may be that connection between both the missing
213
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.799
manuscript of Hemphill at Arizona State University, the ability to
214
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:12.320
actually access anthrax, and then the type of material that
215
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.080
the anthrax was put into. So we'll see where that
216
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.000
goes once we get to the anthrax stuff. On July
217
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.919
first of nineteen ninety three, twenty three year old Martin
218
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.600
land In Sosa on the thirty two thousand block of
219
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.720
Dobbin Huffsmith, Magnolia, Texas, was found in a ditch shot
220
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.519
and mutilated before being transported to this location. It kind
221
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.519
of again reminded me of Black Dahlia, simply because where
222
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.039
her body was laid out was not where the crime
223
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.720
was committed. So we also have this mutilation that's happening
224
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.240
again in Texas. So if this Brasher's guy is truly
225
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:51.759
the suspect and the person who committed the yogurt crimes,
226
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.360
then having this mutilation going on, or these the three
227
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.480
boys in Arkansas having that mutilation go on, maybe these
228
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.120
cases have some type of a connection. On July eleventh
229
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:09.799
of nineteen ninety three, Nor has family in Springerville, Arizona,
230
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.120
and goes for a funeral there. Showed to verify the dates,
231
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.840
but this is information that I pulled from her actual diary,
232
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.360
which we have the nineteen ninety three diary, and we
233
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.679
have her nineteen ninety six diary. On August tenth of
234
00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.639
nineteen ninety three, thirty four year old Craig Dean Bayer
235
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.080
in the Fling Flamingo Motel and Flagstaff, Arizona. He's kicked
236
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.799
out of the motel at three am. Witnesses see him
237
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.039
at Denny's at three thirty am. At four thirty am,
238
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:39.919
he knocked on the window of a traveler's at a
239
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:44.080
campground near meteor Creator, asking for the manager. At five
