I shouldn't have to carry boxes. 15 00:03:22,784 --> 00:03:26,295 We had to move here and we all have to help carry boxes. 16 00:03:26,469 --> 00:03:29,317 Uh-uh, you wanted to move here. 17 00:03:29,475 --> 00:03:32,250 No, I had to move here.

But you have to promise to try to like it here. 29 00:04:08,205 --> 00:04:11,564 I promise. - Ok, all right my little artist, what's the number one rule? 30 00:04:11,737 --> 00:04:13,299 Paint only goes in the bedroom. 31 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:15,154 And where doesn't it go? Anywhere else in the house. 32 00:04:15,155 --> 00:04:17,993 Right. Now come with me, we'll move some boxes. 33 00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:23,747 The sheriff's here. - Already? 34 00:04:23,998 --> 00:04:26,593 Be nice this time. I'm always nice. 35 00:04:26,637 --> 00:04:29,778 I'm not kidding. I'm tired of driving 5 miles under the speed limit 36 00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:33,281 only to get ticketed anyway. Be nice. 37 00:04:34,317 --> 00:04:39,576 Afternoon. Is there a problem? - No sir, just a friendly visit. 38 00:04:39,703 --> 00:04:43,224 I appreciate that. I'm Ellison Oswalt. I know who you are. 39 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:46,934 So you're not a fan? - No. 40 00:04:47,138 --> 00:04:49,371 What can I do for you? 41 00:04:49,563 --> 00:04:53,405 Not much, I expect, unless I can convince you to load those boxes... 42 00:04:53,429 --> 00:04:56,966 back in that truck and leave as soon as you're able. 43 00:04:56,995 --> 00:04:58,704 No, I don't think so. 44 00:04:58,705 --> 00:05:01,815 But you know what, I do have a couple of extra copies of 'Kentucky Blood' in my office 45 00:05:01,849 --> 00:05:03,849 if you want me to get one out and sign it for you, I'll do that. 46 00:05:03,868 --> 00:05:05,415 No, thanks. 47 00:05:05,416 --> 00:05:09,334 What, is it the writing? More a matter of content. 48 00:05:09,517 --> 00:05:13,835 You don't seem to care much for our profession. - Not everyone in your profession gets it right. 49 00:05:14,129 --> 00:05:17,086 I've read your books, neither do you. 50 00:05:17,192 --> 00:05:18,797 Look... 51 00:05:18,798 --> 00:05:21,502 You got it right with "Kentucky Blood", I'll give you that. 52 00:05:21,863 --> 00:05:26,818 It's a fine piece of writing. But, 'Cold Denver Morning', you got it wrong. 53 00:05:26,858 --> 00:05:31,578 It wasn't my fault. - Your bad theory helped a killer go free. 54 00:05:31,612 --> 00:05:35,190 You ruin people's lives. This town doesn't need that. 55 00:05:35,273 --> 00:05:40,623 It needs to heal. It needs to forget. And we sure don't want that circus that you bring with you. 56 00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:43,628 Well, there is a missing girl involved here. She ain't missing, she's dead. 57 00:05:43,941 --> 00:05:45,941 Come on, you don't know that. 58 00:05:46,410 --> 00:05:50,523 If that girl is still alive, and it ain't no miracle, then we ain't ever gonna find her. 59 00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:55,343 Well then I guess we should just let it go, huh? You don't think the town deserves an explanation? 60 00:05:56,119 --> 00:06:00,156 Something like this? You can never explain something like this. 61 00:06:01,713 --> 00:06:05,711 And if you were able to, the odds are you wouldn't much care for the answer. 62 00:06:05,887 --> 00:06:08,049 Now, we did our job. You'll see that. 63 00:06:08,158 --> 00:06:11,836 And this is just another waste of your time, like your last two books. 64 00:06:13,635 --> 00:06:15,993 If writing true crime has taught me one thing... 65 00:06:16,089 --> 00:06:19,529 it's that whenever an officer of the law says I'm wasting my time... 66 00:06:19,594 --> 00:06:21,948 it just means, he thinks he's wasting his. 67 00:06:22,618 --> 00:06:24,856 That's clever. You ought to write that down. 68 00:06:25,125 --> 00:06:30,040 Well, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that your department is not my disposal? 69 00:06:30,333 --> 00:06:33,948 Well, what do you know. You can still get things right on occasion. 70 00:06:37,727 --> 00:06:43,727 Oh, and uh, I find this to be in extremely bad taste. 71 00:06:54,506 --> 00:06:56,547 What was all that about? The usual. 72 00:06:56,590 --> 00:06:59,511 He wanted an autograph, but he left his copy at home. He'll be back later. 73 00:07:00,185 --> 00:07:02,981 Was it that bad? Why was he pointing at the house? 74 00:07:03,810 --> 00:07:06,075 Ellison, we didn't move a few 75 00:07:06,172 --> 00:07:08,780 houses down from a crime scene, again, did we? 76 00:07:09,867 --> 00:07:13,253 Tracy.. No, just don't say anything. If we did then I don't want to know about it. 77 00:07:14,213 --> 00:07:16,366 We didn't. - Promise? 78 00:07:16,646 --> 00:07:18,646 I promise. 79 00:07:19,446 --> 00:07:23,443 Here, make yourself useful.

Enjoy it kids. 85 00:09:05,959 --> 00:09:09,434 We're not likely to be eating out much this time. - Why not? 86 00:09:09,467 --> 00:09:11,384 You know why. - I don't. 87 00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:12,797 We haven't sold the old house yet. 88 00:09:12,798 --> 00:09:15,313 Once it's gone, we'll be able to afford a few extra things. 89 00:09:15,705 --> 00:09:17,705 Well then sell it already, lower the price if you have to. 90 00:09:17,789 --> 00:09:21,067 We've already lowered it as much as we can without losing money. The market's terrible. 91 00:09:21,244 --> 00:09:23,605 Once we're not paying two mortgages we'll be fine. 92 00:09:23,906 --> 00:09:26,545 Once I sell my new book, we'll be on easy street. 93 00:09:26,835 --> 00:09:29,256 Is the story a good story this time? Yeah it's good, of course it is. 94 00:09:29,391 --> 00:09:31,710 Will you take me and show me where it happened? - Trevor. 95 00:09:31,922 --> 00:09:34,041 Come on, I'm old enough to know about that stuff. - No, you're not. 96 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,269 Even I'm not old enough to know about that stuff. 97 00:09:36,364 --> 00:09:39,428 Your father writes about terrible terrible things, and I don't want you knowing anything about that. 98 00:09:39,463 --> 00:09:42,261 You say that like I shouldn't be writing about that. -That's not what I meant. That's the way you say it 99 00:09:43,044 --> 00:09:47,753 Well, I'm gonna hear about it in school, anyway. Kids'll hate me again and tell me nonstop about what happened. 100 00:09:48,368 --> 00:09:50,642 Hey, nobody hates you. - Well, I might as well hear it from you. 101 00:09:50,675 --> 00:09:53,148 Are you listening to this?

Maybe you should try again. 114 00:10:45,957 --> 00:10:50,710 I can't do this without you by my side. I'm sorry. I'm on your side. 115 00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:54,930 I just want to see you enjoying your work again. 116 00:10:54,931 --> 00:10:59,202 When you're happy, we are all happy. 117 00:10:59,687 --> 00:11:05,687 I just need another hit, that's all.

It was a pretty ugly affair. 267 00:44:13,420 --> 00:44:16,360 I also need any details you can get me on another murder. 268 00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:20,970 In 1979, a family was burned alive, parked inside their own car in their own garage. 269 00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:25,170 What city? - I don't know, all I have is the year and the method of execution. 270 00:44:27,260 --> 00:44:29,230 You think that the two cases are related? 271 00:44:29,230 --> 00:44:33,200 No, i'm just doing research. Ok, I can definitely get this for you. 272 00:44:33,230 --> 00:44:37,170 I gotta wait until the sheriff leaves the office, but I will get it. 273 00:44:37,750 --> 00:44:40,140 Thank you very much, Deputy So-and-So. 274 00:44:44,770 --> 00:44:46,770 I'm sorry - For what? 275 00:44:47,090 --> 00:44:49,450 I was angry at Trevor today, and I took it out on you. 276 00:44:49,890 --> 00:44:52,480 Don't be sorry.

And I'm with you now. 279 00:45:10,380 --> 00:45:14,260 We're pleased to have Ellison Oswalt on our program tonight. His new book is called,"Kentucky Blood '. 280 00:45:14,450 --> 00:45:16,930 It's so good to have you on. - Thanks for having me, it's a real pleasure. 281 00:45:17,070 --> 00:45:19,950 Man, I got into this. This is pretty graphic stuff. 282 00:45:20,100 --> 00:45:24,650 So let me start by asking, why do you spend so much time investigating such grisly content? 283 00:45:25,130 --> 00:45:27,960 Fame and money? No, I'm just kidding. 284 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:32,670 The honest answer is that, I'm really driven by a sense of injustice. 285 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,320 You know, when I think about the awful things that happen to these people... 286 00:45:35,350 --> 00:45:38,630 and that those responsible were never even identified, let alone caught, 287 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,250 I knew when I started this particular case that I might stumble on a few things 288 00:45:42,250 --> 00:45:44,120 that maybe someone might have overlooked. 289 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:49,370 MIGHT stumble? No, you in fact DID uncover some additional information that the cops had overlooked. 290 00:45:49,490 --> 00:45:55,490 Well, look, first off, let me say that there are a lot of good police officers out there, and I don't want to in any way disparage what they do, all right? 291 00:45:56,180 --> 00:45:59,540 But the police work, getting something wrong, means ruining people's lives. 292 00:45:59,690 --> 00:46:01,690 And good crime writing can set things right. 293 00:46:02,070 --> 00:46:05,760 So ultimately, what feels better? Seeing justice done... 294 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,750 or seeing your book "Kentucky Blood " number one on the New York Times bestseller list? 295 00:46:11,010 --> 00:46:15,850 The justice. Without question. 296 00:46:15,890 --> 00:46:20,380 I'd rather cut my hands off than write a book for fame or money. 297 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,960 Are you making Daddy his coffee? - Yes. 298 00:48:55,990 --> 00:49:00,590 Can I help? I want to bring it to him. - Sure, honey, but we have to make it just right. 299 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,120 He is very particular about his coffee. 300 00:49:16,410 --> 00:49:19,770 I brought you your coffee, Daddy. Thank you, sweetheart. 301 00:49:19,088 --> 00:49:22,067 Thank you sweetheart, Oh.. 302 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,880 Yeah Hello, Hey, Mr Oswalt? 303 00:49:25,416 --> 00:49:28,655 - Hey, Deputy So-and-So. - Hey listen, I'm sorry to get back to you so late in the day 304 00:49:28,825 --> 00:49:31,235 I couldn't make the calls from the office. You know, the sheriff. 305 00:49:31,258 --> 00:49:34,321 Yeah, I understand. But, I got what you asked about. 306 00:49:34,399 --> 00:49:39,135 There was a Martinez family in Sacramento, California that died in their garage in 1979. 307 00:49:39,256 --> 00:49:42,690 Their car was set on fire. And one of their sons was 9 years old, they never found him. 308 00:49:42,836 --> 00:49:47,751 Do you have the street address? - Yes, 8224 Billington in Sacramento. 309 00:49:47,894 --> 00:49:49,000 What about St. Louis? 310 00:49:49,001 --> 00:49:54,595 The address of the house where the Miller murders occurred is 2976 Piedmont Way St. Louis. 311 00:49:55,103 --> 00:49:59,348 That is excellent! All right. 29... Wait, did you say 2-9-7-6? Like 29-76? 312 00:49:59,424 --> 00:50:03,896 Yeah, what? Does that mean something to you? - Uh, no,no, it doesn't. Thank you, thank you, Deputy. 313 00:50:07,713 --> 00:50:12,603 Before the Stevensons moved here, they lived where the Miller family murders happened. Holy shit! 314 00:53:54,399 --> 00:53:58,217 Oh God! Is he ok? I found him outside. 315 00:53:58,378 --> 00:54:00,843 We have to put a lock on his door. It's way worse than it was. 316 00:54:01,001 --> 00:54:03,001 I'll call the doctor in the morning. 317 00:54:07,324 --> 00:54:10,230 All right now, you stay with him. I left something outside. 318 00:54:32,935 --> 00:54:35,165 Good dog. 319 00:54:35,322 --> 00:54:38,695 Good dog.

Come on. 324 00:55:07,199 --> 00:55:11,017 Trevor is too old to still be having these. He's supposed to have outgrown them by now. 325 00:55:11,174 --> 00:55:14,298 Oh, he's all right. - Just stop. 326 00:55:14,754 --> 00:55:17,097 Stop what? - Drop the book. 327 00:55:18,051 --> 00:55:22,890 Look, we can pack up, get out of town, and never look back. - Why? Because he's having some night terrors? 328 00:55:22,924 --> 00:55:26,207 No, it's more than that. He's never been this bad. 329 00:55:26,364 --> 00:55:29,229 You've never been this bad. You've been at this book less than a week and you're already a mess! 330 00:55:29,386 --> 00:55:31,692 You never crack into the whiskey this early. 331 00:55:32,214 --> 00:55:36,588 So now you're saying I'm a drunk? - No, I'm saying there's something you're not telling me. 332 00:55:36,746 --> 00:55:39,969 Something that's eating you up, and whatever it is,it seems to be getting to Trevor as well. 333 00:55:40,129 --> 00:55:42,671 Something's different. - Yeah something's different. Do you wanna know what it is? 334 00:55:42,832 --> 00:55:45,227 How much do you wanna know? I want to know why you're different. 335 00:55:45,261 --> 00:55:48,539 Something is different because I have never been onto something this big before. 336 00:55:48,701 --> 00:55:51,203 Do you remember how it was when I was writing 'Kentucky'? Do you remember that? 337 00:55:51,364 --> 00:55:53,628 Well this is much bigger than that! Much! 338 00:55:54,489 --> 00:55:57,315 I'm talking about a potentially important work, here! 339 00:55:57,471 --> 00:56:00,810 I'm talking about a mega hit. This could be my " In Cold Blood"! 340 00:56:00,971 --> 00:56:05,464 A movie deal, talk shows, right? A national book award. 341 00:56:05,626 --> 00:56:09,163 And more money than.. we could live on it forever if we wanted to. - I don't care about any of that! 342 00:56:09,321 --> 00:56:12,858 Yes you do! Everybody does! This is my shot, Tracy! 343 00:56:14,533 --> 00:56:18,151 What? - I'm just worried about you. 344 00:56:18,313 --> 00:56:22,007 Well, don't be. Nothing is wrong. 345 00:56:22,168 --> 00:56:24,832 Then why did you come in white as a ghost? 346 00:56:25,786 --> 00:56:28,371 Because I saw a dog. 347 00:56:28,532 --> 00:56:32,388 A dog? - A very big dog. 348 00:56:32,549 --> 00:56:35,531 Like Cujo, baby, I had never seen him before. 349 00:56:35,689 --> 00:56:37,633 Is he gone? - Yeah, he's gone. 350 00:56:37,634 --> 00:56:42,488 I just need a little more time. I promise it's worth it. 351 00:56:43,722 --> 00:56:48,096 Every minute that we're here, we are a minute closer to the happy ending that we always dreamed of. 352 00:56:48,253 --> 00:56:50,253 We're almost there. 353 00:56:57,204 --> 00:57:00,426 Deputy. - Mr Oswalt, these came in this morning. 354 00:57:00,459 --> 00:57:03,647 I had a few of the pertinent files pulled for you and had them faxed over. 355 00:57:03,804 --> 00:57:06,908 Really? Thanks. - No problem. 356 00:57:07,740 --> 00:57:10,604 You think I could come in for a second? 357 00:57:12,081 --> 00:57:15,339 Yeah, sure. - Thanks. 358 00:57:15,856 --> 00:57:20,951 Look, I know what you must think of me, some small-town deputy... 359 00:57:21,105 --> 00:57:24,288 that's starstruck with the famous writer, but I'm not some local moron. 360 00:57:24,447 --> 00:57:27,471 I didn't say that you were.. you know... 361 00:57:27,631 --> 00:57:31,688 I have a degree in criminology and I've taken my fair share of forensic science courses. 362 00:57:33,833 --> 00:57:38,012 I also know a series of connected murder cases when I see one, Mr Oswalt. 363 00:57:38,168 --> 00:57:40,994 Look, listen, we missed something, I get that. 364 00:57:41,148 --> 00:57:44,711 But if you want me to run interference for you while you get this worked out, 365 00:57:44,745 --> 00:57:47,951 I gotta be in the loop. Just, a little bit. 366 00:57:49,385 --> 00:57:51,385 You really want to help? 367 00:57:51,412 --> 00:57:55,658 It's my home, Mr Oswalt. What happened here, happened to all of us. 368 00:57:56,984 --> 00:57:59,301 All right, come here. 369 00:58:08,191 --> 00:58:11,529 Who is that? - I don't know. 370 00:58:11,687 --> 00:58:13,687 That's what I'm hoping to find out. 371 00:58:16,302 --> 00:58:21,194 You think that these are serial murders? - Maybe. More ritualized than necessarily serial. 372 00:58:21,355 --> 00:58:23,918 They're really spread out. Not just regionally but over time. 373 00:58:23,938 --> 00:58:26,678 The first one I found dates back to the 60s. 374 00:58:26,838 --> 00:58:29,902 The 1960s? - Yeah. 375 00:58:30,618 --> 00:58:34,314 Wait, that would put the guy, what, in his 70s? - Or his 60s. 376 00:58:34,474 --> 00:58:37,699 Yeah, I don't know. Look at the methodology. 377 00:58:37,860 --> 00:58:41,198 In the toxicology reports.. in some cases the killer drugged his victims. 378 00:58:41,355 --> 00:58:44,737 Wait, with what? - Well, they couldn't tell for sure. 379 00:58:45,495 --> 00:58:49,110 But by drugging them, the killer removes his need to overpower them. 380 00:58:49,271 --> 00:58:51,593 Here it is the tree branch that did the heavy lifting. 381 00:58:51,627 --> 00:58:53,402 In Sacramento, he lit a family on fire. 382 00:58:53,403 --> 00:58:57,025 In St. Louis he slit their throats. The first family, he drowned. 383 00:58:57,182 --> 00:59:00,486 Drowning? You never said anything about anyone being drowned. 384 00:59:00,643 --> 00:59:02,832 The only other significant link between the murder cases is that 385 00:59:02,989 --> 00:59:07,124 in each instance, the killer murdered the entire family, except one. 386 00:59:07,286 --> 00:59:09,389 A child, which he took with him. 387 00:59:09,476 --> 00:59:15,267 That, and this symbol appears in several of the crime scenes. 388 00:59:15,301 --> 00:59:17,785 That looks like something from out of the occult. 389 00:59:17,946 --> 00:59:21,163 Look, you might wanna call the university. 390 00:59:21,324 --> 00:59:24,824 There is a professor, over there, Professor Jonas. He's an occult crime expert, 391 00:59:24,980 --> 00:59:28,896 and the state police bring him in on some of the weirder stuff. 392 00:59:29,319 --> 00:59:31,319 I think this qualifies. 393 00:59:32,182 --> 00:59:36,081 So where do you think that drowning happened? - That's what I need you to find out. 394 01:01:55,922 --> 01:01:57,907 Professor Jonas? -Yes. 395 01:01:57,908 --> 01:02:01,155 Hey, thank you for getting back to me so quickly, I appreciate that. 396 01:02:02,069 --> 01:02:05,768 Of course, I'm a really big fan. I'm flattered that you would even... -Thanks. 397 01:02:05,929 --> 01:02:09,836 When I saw the photos that you had sent to me, I knew exactly what cases that you were studying. 398 01:02:09,871 --> 01:02:12,056 How would you know what cases I was looking at? 399 01:02:12,217 --> 01:02:16,591 The symbol that you sent me, isn't a pentagram. 400 01:02:16,748 --> 01:02:20,646 It's not something that you would see teenagers or a Norwegian black metal band... 401 01:02:20,807 --> 01:02:23,429 paint on the wall in goat's blood 402 01:02:23,590 --> 01:02:27,807 to be edgy, or to piss off the Christians. No, this is a bit more obscure than that. 403 01:02:27,967 --> 01:02:31,585 I know.. that one from the hallway. 404 01:02:31,743 --> 01:02:35,361 That's from the late nineties in St. Louis. 405 01:02:35,522 --> 01:02:40,571 The other one, the car hood, that is from Sacramento, that's about 30 years ago. 406 01:02:40,732 --> 01:02:42,821 Tell me about the one in Sacramento. 407 01:02:42,879 --> 01:02:46,776 It's a symbol associated with the worship of a pagan deity. 408 01:02:46,938 --> 01:02:48,723 A pagan deity? What kind of deity? 409 01:02:48,724 --> 01:02:52,623 A very obscure one, dating back to Babylonian times. 410 01:02:52,783 --> 01:02:57,195 Named Bughuul. The eater of children. Did you say, 'eater'? 411 01:02:57,750 --> 01:03:01,526 Yes, uh, of children. Thank you, Jessica. 412 01:03:01,687 --> 01:03:07,687 The crimes that you're dealing with, they all have the element of a missing child, correct? - Yes, that's correct. 413 01:03:08,530 --> 01:03:11,351 Well, Bughuul eats the children. 414 01:03:11,896 --> 01:03:16,630 Now, the fragments of stories that have survived, they all revolve around him 415 01:03:16,787 --> 01:03:19,773 eating the souls of children, to survive. 416 01:03:19,930 --> 01:03:25,139 Now each story involves a different way that he lures 417 01:03:25,297 --> 01:03:29,139 or tricks these children away from the physical world 418 01:03:29,172 --> 01:03:32,058 and traps them in his own netherworld. 419 01:03:32,219 --> 01:03:35,240 where he consumes their souls over time. 420 01:03:35,396 --> 01:03:39,295 Now, any worship of this deity would include blood sacrifice... 421 01:03:39,456 --> 01:03:42,599 or the wholesale eating of the child. 422 01:03:42,756 --> 01:03:46,416 So you're saying the person who made these symbols is eating children? 423 01:03:47,248 --> 01:03:52,818 Well, that would fit the stories. Of course, the few times that this symbol has shown up... 424 01:03:52,976 --> 01:03:56,199 none of the crimes have been related in any way to any of this. 425 01:03:56,675 --> 01:03:59,457 So this might be more of a cult initiation... 426 01:03:59,618 --> 01:04:03,317 rather than the actual actions of any one man. 427 01:04:06,736 --> 01:04:09,201 There's been another one, hasn't there? 428 01:04:12,268 --> 01:04:16,836 I think so, yes. Tell me everything you can. 429 01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:56,440 So, I appreciate you coming by. Yeah, that's not a problem at all. 430 01:09:56,470 --> 01:10:00,810 So, we're becoming friends, right? - It suppose, yeah. 431 01:10:00,930 --> 01:10:03,200 I mean, I can trust you, right? - Absolutely. 432 01:10:04,790 --> 01:10:08,880 So if I were to ask you something in earnest, you wouldn't read too much into it? 433 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:19,800 Was there anything weird about the Stevensons? 434 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:27,010 No complaints from them about anything... strange? 435 01:10:29,510 --> 01:10:34,550 No, not to my knowledge. - The investigators, they didn't notice anything odd or inexplicable about the house? 436 01:10:34,590 --> 01:10:37,980 Any weird stories? - No. 437 01:10:38,270 --> 01:10:43,200 Mr Oswalt, is there something you want to tell me? 438 01:10:47,150 --> 01:10:50,450 Ok, look, clearly something happened and you want talk to somebody about it, right? 439 01:10:51,370 --> 01:10:54,130 Ok, well does your wife know about it? 440 01:10:58,890 --> 01:11:03,210 Wait, did she know whose house this is... was? 441 01:11:09,180 --> 01:11:13,240 Oh man, that is a conversation I would not want to be around for! - Me neither. 442 01:11:13,270 --> 01:11:19,270 I'm sorry, so, what? You saw some thing weird, heard something spooky in the house? 443 01:11:21,850 --> 01:11:26,160 Yes, precisely. - What exactly? 444 01:11:28,370 --> 01:11:34,370 I don't believe in any.. you know, stuff. By stuff, you mean... 445 01:11:34,620 --> 01:11:39,610 supernatural, metaphysical, paranormal, that type of stuff? 446 01:11:39,790 --> 01:11:42,940 Right, of course you don't. 447 01:11:42,970 --> 01:11:44,970 You would have never moved into a crime scene if you did, so.. 448 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,290 here we are, having this conversation. 449 01:11:49,380 --> 01:11:55,380 But, there was none of that with the Stevensons, huh? 450 01:11:56,630 --> 01:12:00,720 No, in the short amount of time that the Stevensons lived here, they never called the police... 451 01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:05,220 and never have the police called on them or reported anything bizarre that came up in the investigation. 452 01:12:06,130 --> 01:12:09,020 Want to know what I think? - Yes. 453 01:12:11,020 --> 01:12:15,980 I think you have moved yourself into the house of murder victims... 454 01:12:16,020 --> 01:12:19,170 and set about immediately trying to put yourself in their headspace. 455 01:12:19,170 --> 01:12:22,910 I also think that you've begun discovering things on this case ... 456 01:12:22,910 --> 01:12:25,520 that go to darker places than you were prepared for. 457 01:12:26,420 --> 01:12:31,260 I also think that every time I come to your house, there's a whiskey bottlein your office. 458 01:12:32,690 --> 01:12:37,640 Mr. Oswalt, I'm not saying that you have a drinking problem. 459 01:12:37,770 --> 01:12:38,650 I don't think that. 460 01:12:38,660 --> 01:12:42,670 Nor do I think that you're making any of this up to get attention. 461 01:12:43,190 --> 01:12:47,220 I don't think that. What I do think is that you are under so much stress... 462 01:12:47,260 --> 01:12:51,730 You put yourself under so much stress that your mind is trying to process all of it at once. 463 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:57,470 So you don't believe any of that... otherwordly stuff? 464 01:12:57,470 --> 01:13:01,560 Are you kidding me? I believe in all that stuff. 465 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:07,110 I wouldn't sleep one night in this place, are you nuts? Four people were hung by their necks... 466 01:13:07,110 --> 01:13:11,060 in a tree in your backyard. And that little girl, God knows, where... God knows what.. 467 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:15,150 I'm sorry, you know what? 468 01:13:15,150 --> 01:13:18,650 You should try to get out more, Mr Oswalt. Try to clear your head. 469 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,430 Total honesty? 470 01:13:24,250 --> 01:13:28,050 Last night I thought... 471 01:13:28,050 --> 01:13:31,350 that something was in the house. 472 01:13:31,350 --> 01:13:33,750 And then I woke up on the couch 473 01:13:33,750 --> 01:13:36,540 holding a baseball bat. 474 01:13:38,770 --> 01:13:43,340 I guess if I thought something was in my home at night, I would be a little bit freaked out, too. 475 01:13:43,340 --> 01:13:48,240 But, listen to me, Mr Oswalt. If you sleep in this house... 476 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,580 it's just gonna do terrible things to your head. 477 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:00,340 What's going on? - Your daughter apparently thought 478 01:14:00,370 --> 01:14:03,100 there wasn't enough room on her walls for her new painting. 479 01:14:03,780 --> 01:14:07,420 Ashley! -No, that's not it! - We talked about it! I only gave you one rule... 480 01:14:07,420 --> 01:14:10,750 it was a big deal for us to let you paint on your wall. What was it? What's the rule, Ashley? 481 01:14:10,750 --> 01:14:13,840 Paint only goes in the bedroom. - What makes you think you could paint out here? 482 01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:19,040 I wanted to paint her picture, but she didn't want it in my room, because that used to be her brother's room 483 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,290 What? Who are you talking about? 484 01:14:22,290 --> 01:14:24,650 Stephanie. - Who is Stephanie? 485 01:14:24,650 --> 01:14:28,900 She used to live here. She's the one Daddy's writing his book about. 486 01:14:34,220 --> 01:14:36,990 Ashley, go to your room and shut the door. 487 01:14:44,830 --> 01:14:48,630 What the hell were you thinking? Did you think I wouldn't find out? 488 01:14:48,630 --> 01:14:51,370 Of course I knew you were gonna find out, eventually, ok? 489 01:14:51,370 --> 01:14:55,360 But don't blame me for not telling you, because remember, you never wanted to know. 490 01:14:55,370 --> 01:14:59,400 Don't try and pin this on me! I asked you! I asked you if we were living in that house. 491 01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:03,680 You asked me if we were living two houses down from a crime scene. I said, no. 492 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,640 We never should have come here! Nobody died here. 493 01:15:06,670 --> 01:15:11,370 It's not like we're sleeping where somebody was killed! It's not like they had to wipe the blood off the walls! 494 01:15:11,410 --> 01:15:13,220 So you're saying it didn't happen here? - No. 495 01:15:13,220 --> 01:15:18,260 It happened in the backyard. - Oh, that is so.. and you think that makes a difference? 496 01:15:18,290 --> 01:15:22,670 No Ellison, it doesn't. You have done some crazy shit in the past.. 497 01:15:22,670 --> 01:15:27,060 but this really takes the cake. My God, What on earth possessed you to move here? 498 01:15:27,060 --> 01:15:29,180 We've never been this broke before. That's no excuse. 499 01:15:29,180 --> 01:15:32,290 This came on the market and was a steal... Gee, I wonder why. 500 01:15:33,220 --> 01:15:36,690 So, what Trevor drew last week, that happened here? 501 01:15:39,180 --> 01:15:43,200 The previous owners of this home were hung from a tree in our backyard? 502 01:15:44,510 --> 01:15:48,380 That is so sick, Ellison. And you let our little girl play back there? 503 01:15:48,380 --> 01:15:51,780 Why shouldn't I? - Our son is having night terrors... 504 01:15:51,780 --> 01:15:53,990 and drawing pictures of this crime at school 505 01:15:53,990 --> 01:15:56,460 and our daughter just painted a little dead girl on our walls. 506 01:15:56,470 --> 01:16:01,280 Technically, she's missing. - I don't want to hear about technicalities! 507 01:16:01,290 --> 01:16:05,350 Do you understand what you've done this time? The kind of jeopardy you put your children in? 508 01:16:05,350 --> 01:16:07,650 Your marriage? - Yes!, I do, I understand. 509 01:16:07,650 --> 01:16:10,600 I see. Is there anything you won't do for your goddamn book!? 510 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:17,030 Apparently not. I guess this is all worth it to you. 511 01:16:17,030 --> 01:16:18,990 What is it worth?
