5:03
so yeah that was
5:05
a guy who worked at the connecticut
5:07
lottery and
5:09
you know over the years he began
5:12
to feel slighted serve the
5:14
frustrated yeah frustrated
5:16
there were some mental health issues
5:18
i think fused into
5:21
service case that he made
5:23
the fateful decision to go
5:25
in and murder more
5:27
people and you know since we had a hit
5:30
list the was looking for
5:32
these for people very focused
5:34
specific the make sure you check
5:36
that up soda sorry buddy are
5:38
you ready to get into the subset of true
5:40
crime all the time on salt omri today
5:42
we're talking about the murders of pamela
5:45
buckley and james
5:47
for and also known as the sumpter
5:49
county does in the summer nineteen
5:51
seventy six the bodies of a young
5:54
man and woman were found off
5:56
the side of a secluded dirt road
5:58
outside the town of lynch her in
6:01
sumter county south carolina victims
6:03
had both been shot several times police
6:06
did their best to determine how the pair
6:08
had come to be in the area who saw
6:11
them and walk identification
6:14
of the capo proved to be nearly
6:16
impossible despite law enforcement
6:19
releasing detailed descriptions
6:21
are the victims nationwide no
6:23
one came for with any information
6:26
the body sadly when i'm playing
6:29
investigators struggled to put the pieces
6:31
of the puzzle together in what
6:33
would soon become a cold case i
6:36
mean gibbs we've seen this before
6:38
we have especially and unsolved when
6:40
you can't even identify
6:43
the victims where do you go
6:45
from there right how
6:47
do you identify potential witness
6:50
one one try to come up with suspects
6:53
so almost impossible that
6:55
i was starting points they gonna have a starting point
6:58
and normally that starting point
7:00
is identifying the victims
7:02
from there you find out there
7:05
are known associates are
7:06
if they're married you find out
7:08
all of those things right friends and family
7:11
and then you interview and and you kinda
7:13
go from there but if you don't
7:15
have that starting point
7:17
can't really backtrack you can
7:20
move forward know at the same time
7:22
there were two people who would not
7:25
let this case go one was
7:27
the sumpter county coroner continue
7:30
to try to find answers until
7:32
she retired thirty three years
7:34
after the murder the other was
7:36
a member of the pub matthew
7:39
mcdaniel who was determined
7:41
to get to the bottom are both couples
7:43
identity and the identity
7:46
of their killed this obviously
7:48
went on for a very long time
7:51
and really just when it seemed as though the victims
7:53
identities words forever
7:55
remain a mystery there was a
7:57
breakthrough matthews research
8:00
and persistence and pushing for
8:02
genetic genealogy resulted
8:05
in the testing on the couples dna
8:08
staggering forty four years after
8:10
the murders first made headlines the
8:12
testing was conducted names
8:15
were finally put to the victim's
8:17
face now the killer or
8:20
killers identity
8:22
their identities in the exact circumstances
8:25
around the double murder
8:28
remain unknown but investigators
8:30
have some persons of interest in their sights
8:33
and they're confident that it's not
8:35
too late for those with information
8:37
to come forward to help solve
8:39
this case never too late
8:42
know he really isn't and
8:44
i think it's one of the things about
8:46
these unsolved cases there's
8:48
a need to talk about
8:51
now there's an episode that
8:53
we do ever going
8:55
to help the all the
8:57
help solve a case i don't know
9:00
that it is it couldn't
9:02
what could a another podcast someone
9:05
listening to a podcast are seeing
9:07
a dateline or you know seeing
9:09
one of the shows could a
9:11
jogger memory war
9:14
what it calls them
9:16
the fully understand a memory
9:18
that they have matt
9:21
maybe it does pertain to this
9:23
case and and cause them to come
9:25
forward and then nino the everything
9:27
is set in the most yeah the
9:30
so let's dive headlong into this episode
9:33
six twenty eight on the morning
9:36
of august ninth nineteen seventy
9:38
six a truck driver driving
9:40
through sumpter county between interstate
9:43
ninety five in south
9:45
carolina three forty one pulled
9:48
over for roster when
9:50
he got out of the truck he saw to
9:52
lifeless bodies lying face up
9:54
on the side of the right according
9:57
to the sumpter daily either the
9:59
slack labour jumped back into
10:01
the truck and drove to a nearby
10:03
store where he alerted the clerk
10:06
the immediately called the police
10:08
right so you're a trucker and
10:10
we have a lot of truckers we
10:12
do who listen to our podcast you
10:15
kinda going along your day you
10:17
need to pull over you need to rest
10:19
you need to use the facilities whatever
10:21
the case is you get out
10:23
of your truck and discover
10:26
the dead bodies okay it's
10:29
going to be a different day for you oh yes
10:31
this is not the normal
10:34
thing then we talk about this
10:36
from time to time people who
10:38
discover the seized
10:40
individuals number one
10:42
that's going to be a tremendous shock sir
10:44
will be i think the second
10:47
piece of that is how
10:49
long does something like that stay with
10:52
and maybe it stays with you forever
10:55
to some degree sure pregnant
10:58
very with the person but
11:00
i imagine it's something that's going to be a
11:02
little difficult to get out of your mind the
11:05
wonder if that happens today
11:08
knowing how many people listen
11:10
to true crime their
11:13
little sort of them kick into
11:15
detective mode at that moment what
11:18
is not detective mode
11:20
maybe c s i moved here the
11:23
in then the form
11:25
of maybe knowing
11:27
what not to do yeah you know
11:29
i don't one disturb maybe
11:32
even footprints i don't want to get too
11:34
close i don't want to walk through what
11:36
could be a crime scene i
11:39
do states that's one thing
11:41
that the cs eyes and
11:44
the true crime shows in the podcast
11:46
probably have really helped
11:48
with your average yeah education
11:51
of of that of those things your average
11:53
person today know so
11:55
much more wow crime
11:58
scenes and what should
12:00
and should not occur a
12:03
the a take a look dexter i know dexter
12:05
was a killer but he was also a
12:07
a sumter i guy so
12:10
you know watching things like that
12:12
whereas in the nineteen fifties
12:15
what say you stumble
12:17
upon a scene like dad's he
12:19
may be rush headlong into syria
12:21
and you're trying now i'm
12:23
not saying today you don't go over and
12:25
see if the person's soul lot re
12:28
i i don't want the to seem as
12:30
though i'm saying that but there would
12:32
be some discoveries were you know
12:34
right off the bat is yeah this
12:36
person or these individuals are
12:39
deceased there's nothing you're going to be able
12:41
to do for them they've been deceased
12:43
for some period of time though
12:47
i don't want to disturb tire marks
12:49
i don't want to disturb footprints
12:52
i don't want to maybe
12:54
pick up fibers on
12:56
demise use that are laying around
12:58
the bar by adding that's a great point
13:00
you're making it was determined
13:03
that the pair had been dead less than twenty
13:05
four hours the estimated time of
13:07
death was between eleven
13:09
thirty pm the twelve am
13:12
the night before around seven
13:14
hours before they were found at
13:16
the time it was reported that
13:18
victims were shot in the chest
13:21
back in throat with either
13:23
a thirty eight caliber or
13:25
a three fifty seven magnum revolt
13:29
what's the big difference between a thirty
13:31
eight three fifty seven may
13:33
i think the biggest differences or three
13:35
fifty seven magnum this
13:37
is a very very powerful
13:41
yeah yeah crime scene technicians
13:43
said to work taking plaster tas
13:46
of tire tracks in the vicinity
13:48
of where the bodies were discovered the
13:50
and we just talked about that right those
13:52
are important flu if you can
13:55
get a good plaster
13:57
cast the tire
13:59
try the they've done amazing
14:02
things with don't sir narrowing
14:04
it down to certain brands
14:06
duff if you get some
14:08
type of good year where they sell millions
14:11
and millions and millions it may
14:13
not help you as much the like
14:15
mercer some a says in a cousin
14:17
vinny no really
14:19
narrow down on those threads of the tire
14:22
shirt on the type of axel
14:24
and no rear end of the car
14:27
at whether had posse tracker
14:29
him have positron actually it
14:31
goes back to the discussion
14:33
we have if you walk through
14:36
that tire tracks right then
14:38
what does it do it ruins it you're
14:40
not going to be able to get a good cast
14:43
and you you you
14:45
could potentially destroy very
14:48
powerful these amanda it
14:51
was determined that the male victim
14:53
was six one and quarter
14:56
inches tall weighed about one
14:58
hundred and fifty pounds and had an
15:00
athletic bill i jumped out
15:02
of me right away six
15:04
one a quarter one sister that's
15:07
me it is when so i
15:09
see where that could be
15:12
viewed as athletic it
15:14
is very when it is to be
15:16
over six one and only weigh
15:19
one hundred and fifty pounds it brown
15:21
soderling hair brown eyes
15:23
and thick dark eyebrows that's
15:26
made it to be industries it
15:28
was white within hours compulsion
15:31
on his right shoulder were two scores
15:34
they also had a foreign scar on his
15:36
abdomen which indicated
15:38
that he'd had an appendectomy
15:41
according to the greenwood index germs
15:44
the war faded blue levi's no
15:46
underwear in a red teacher
15:49
on the front of the t shirt was a
15:51
coors light beer logo and
15:54
on the back was a camel challenger
15:57
gtc burning seventy five okay
16:00
the guy unique the
16:03
it does it also sounds
16:05
like you've got racing and
16:07
ball got beer here
16:09
is often involved
16:11
that raises while people drink
16:13
beer races a do
16:15
the website sumpter mystery couple
16:17
of dot com explains that the t-shirt
16:20
most likely originated from the nineteen
16:22
seventy five sebring races in florida
16:25
which core sponsor so
16:28
again that makes that lot of what
16:31
was unclear was how the
16:33
man acquired the teacher really
16:36
fine at the races he was he there did it
16:38
that and the races or someone
16:41
give it to missouri if for
16:44
the find it on the side of the road
16:46
defined and and trashcan fear or
16:48
maybe was connected to the all racing same who serves
16:51
there were a lot of possibilities
16:54
right that police had to consider inside
16:57
the pocket of his jeans was a book
16:59
of matches from grants trucks
17:02
there were some clues please
17:05
add to figure out what to make these
17:08
clue yeah there was more
17:10
the sumter daily item detailed the jewelry
17:13

17:53
male victims t suggested
17:55

you that kind of jumped out at me gives
20:37
you guys two individuals
20:39
yeah found dead together
20:42
the dress but neither one of them
20:45
was wearing underwear i'm
20:47
not saying it's a bombshell it
20:49
did kind of jump out at me has
20:52
been notable
20:54
i know you can relate to this because i know you'd like to be
20:56
commando yourself i go commando
20:59
from time to time it
21:01
is very front referring the
21:03
time i sit across from me some
21:05
the sinus to frank now gives i
21:07
do think that this band
21:10
that the victims weren't
21:12
wearing underwear laughed
21:15
a lot of people to theorize that
21:17
there was some type of sex more motivation
21:20
to the crime in that
21:22
their underwear had been stolen the
21:24
nothing ever came out they were sexually assaulted the
21:27
young woman wore white time
21:29
blouse over a pink halter
21:31
top owner see worry pair
21:34
of hot pink and lavender wedge
21:36
heeled sandals according
21:38
to the don't networks the young woman
21:40
war three sterling silver wings
21:43
they were in the style of native american
21:46
or mexican handmade do
21:49
one ring had a faceted ban
21:51
with red white and blue stones
21:53
another had a rectangular
21:55
blackstone and then the third
21:58
have a large interrupted sad roll
22:00
band featuring a jade like
22:03
the male victim the young woman was
22:05
white with an hour complex
22:08
though i think give this led
22:10
law enforcement to believe that
22:12
the two were likely brother and sister
22:16
perhaps from somewhere
22:18
like south dumber the problem
22:20
is neither of the victims
22:22
had any id or money
22:25
on them when the toxicology
22:27
results came back no
22:30
drugs or alcohol were found in their system
22:33
the hadn't been smokers either
22:35
the last thing they didn't before they died
22:38
was food or ice
22:40
detective suspected the pair may
22:42
have purchased the fruit from a store
22:45
along the way the i
22:47
mean these were some very detailed said school
22:49
descriptions of the victims especially
22:52
the information about their distinguishing
22:54
features and the man's dental work when
22:57
investigators attempted to trace the
22:59
origin of the bowl of a watch using
23:01
the serial number they found that
23:03
had been manufactured in nineteen six
23:05
years according to the high point
23:08
interpret they ran into
23:10
a problem when they found that the company
23:13
had destroyed his record so he
23:15
was impossible to trace where
23:17
the watch could have been so when i think
23:19
what was immediately apparent
23:22
to authorities was that
23:24
these to individuals didn't appear
23:26
to be homeless runaways
23:29
or drifters they were both
23:31
clean
23:32
they were wearing valuable
23:34
jewelry and they were both
23:36
well while the nature
23:38
of the victims relationship was uncertain
23:41
police suspected the parried hit the road
23:43
to travel around the us like
23:46
many young people did of their
23:48
generation the i mean if they're under
23:51
early twenties is no better time
23:53

27:30
greenwood index journal reported
27:32
that investigators had since the
27:34
victims fingerprints to the f b i
27:37
and an attempt to identify them neither
27:40
of their fingerprints were on fire the
27:42
sheriff's office distributed sketches
27:45
of victims detailed physical
27:47
descriptions and dental information
27:49
too many of the police departments
27:51
and sheriff's offices across the country
27:54
the hopes that someone would come for
27:57
nicer by doing the right thing the
27:59
get information how the see we're
28:01
gonna of
28:02
responses we can get back from the
28:04
f b i the other sheriff's departments police
28:06
departments across the country maybe
28:09
some bible recognizes who
28:11
individual and maybe we can identify
28:13
them
28:14
according to the dna dough project
28:17
a man who lived on lock layer row
28:19
came forward locklear road
28:21
was a narrow frontage road between the
28:23
towns of sumpter and florence the
28:26
man told police that in the early morning
28:28
hours of august not while
28:30
he was at home the heard a car
28:32
in the disk then said he
28:34
heard the sound of someone getting out
28:37
followed by gunshots and then
28:39
the sound of the car speeding
28:41
away the views are i've said before
28:44
right i hear gunshots from my house
28:46
from time to time frame of got some pretty
28:48
big open fields across
28:50
the street from me there there
28:53
are times when people are firing guns over
28:55
there then i do get this
28:57
you know you hear about this fine the
29:00
mean you remember these
29:03
specific things happening
29:06
i could see where this man would want
29:08
to come forward and least let police
29:10
know what he heard you're not
29:12
going to know what to make of it is not going to know
29:14
what it means but maybe
29:16
it would help the police in some way firming
29:19
some pretty distinctive sounds right the
29:21
gunshot the
29:24
reading car
29:26
you know burning off the tires and speeding off
29:28
you're going to kind of note those noises are
29:31
sure i'll do some people
29:34
the state gun fire for
29:36
far back far sure that happens
29:38
but
29:39
the me gunshots serve
29:42
pretty distinctive if you've been around
29:44
them if you've heard enough of them within
29:47
weeks of the slayings the sumpter daily
29:49
i've reported on a potential break
29:51
in the case regarding the identity
29:54
of their gender the man
29:56
contacted police informing them
29:58
that he recognized the young
30:00
woman from newspaper forwards
30:02
there's someone who dated the year before the
30:05
this sense reported as missing
30:08
though detectives traveled to brunswick
30:11
georgia where this girl's
30:13
parents live unfortunately
30:15
the photographs were in a match police
30:17
also received a tip that's a
30:19
van spawns as a garage
30:21
and florence county may have been driven
30:24
by the victims but this to
30:26
was quickly eliminate the
30:28
you knew this is gonna happen in every case
30:31
you want this day lose of
30:33
chips the comment you do on a day
30:35
lose of tips come in and he just wanted
30:37
to say day lose i did because
30:39
on your word of the day calendar and
30:41
i left that door open for you to use it
30:44
i prefer you are me to debuts
30:46
that out there the more tips the better
30:49
ray i mean that's just common sense
30:51
police are going to run as
30:54
many of them hopefully all them
30:56
as they can they're gonna run them down i
30:58
be the tough part is you're
31:01
gonna have a lot more mrs
31:03
then major
31:05
statistically yeah if
31:07
you get a hundred tips it's
31:09
possible that you strike out on all
31:11
hundred it as we
31:13
know he just sees to one
31:15
hey go back to the old sales day you know you gotta
31:18
have a hundred knows before we get that
31:20
one yes
31:21
you know when you dated back and
31:24
early days why it's all it's a numbers
31:26
game exactly and coffee is for closers
31:29
then
31:30
the investigation continues
31:32
law enforcement notified agencies
31:34
including interpol and us immigration
31:37
the county coroner von or more contacted
31:41
agencies in argentina
31:43
uruguay brazil
31:46
and the mediterranean that she continually
31:49
came up and the jumped out
31:52
at me gibbs you have
31:54
a county coroner from south
31:56
carolina contacting
31:59
all kinds of diff in agencies and
32:01
countries you in south
32:03
america the mediterranean
32:06
my assumption is it was all
32:09
based on the all of complex sir
32:11
so you have the potential for them being
32:13
from south america you ,
32:16
also have the potential for them being
32:18
from the mediterranean greece
32:21
or somewhere like that
32:23
the north carolina daily times news
32:26
reported that the american dental
32:28
association when as far
32:30
as publishing the forensics
32:32
odin towels the findings in
32:34
the hope that a dentist out there
32:36
somewhere would come forward identifying
32:40
the male victims dental work that
32:42
is to failed to yield
32:45
any leads i do think this was a very
32:47
smart thing to do we talked about
32:49
he had some pretty
32:51
complex dental work yeah
32:54
something that may be
32:56
specific dentist would recognize
32:59
and say hates that's my word
33:01
for i know him
33:04
see that were meanwhile
33:06
detectives were pretty sure that the letters
33:09
engraved inside the male victims
33:11
ring were likely his initials
33:13
i'll bigger the
33:15
really going out on alleged their idols
33:18
and so you pretty smart to believe
33:20
that those are an
33:22
issues one man came forward
33:24
claiming he'd met the victims
33:27
on the road in south carolina the
33:29
told police that the couple
33:31
was on their way to floor saying
33:34
that the male victim had
33:36
introduced himself as yeah
33:39
according to the dough network the man claimed
33:41
jock explained he was traveling around
33:43
the country richard cause some friction
33:46
with his father the was a well
33:48
respected done oh yeah
33:50
i think this went some credence
33:52
to the theory that the letters inside
33:55
the ring were his initials especially
33:58
when the wind is claimed he whacking nice
34:01
the man's right without your more
34:03
identification the
34:05
male victim became known as doctor
34:08
in his companion as
34:10
jane four months after
34:13
the murders a trucker name's george
34:15
henry was pulled over in december
34:17
nineteen seventy six for drunk
34:19
driving inside his vehicle
34:22
police found a three fifty seven smith
34:24
and wesson revolver with the serial
34:26
number scratched off that's never good
34:29
please really don't like that when you scratch
34:32
out the serial numbers that kind of
34:34
a dead giveaway that
34:36
your erupted no good
34:39
potentially because you don't
34:41
what is the purpose of scratching off the
34:43
serial numbers other than
34:45
you don't want that gun to be identified
34:48
as you don't want to be traced so why
34:50
would you not want that if you're
34:53
living within you know the
34:55
the bounds of the law
34:58
everything really quickly gives
35:00
police believe that the
35:02
same type of firearm we should
35:04
kill jack and jane they
35:07
have to be very interested very
35:09
interested the weapon was confiscated
35:11
and subjected to ballistic
35:14
the it turned out that he was
35:16
the smoking gun this was
35:18
the same firearm that was
35:20
used in the murders the
35:23
you think being in possession of a murder
35:25
weapon would be enough
35:27
to bring charge it was the only
35:29
circumstance and please
35:31
didn't have sufficient evidence to charge
35:34
henry with the murders according
35:36
to the greenwood industry henry
35:39
passed a polygraph test he
35:41
told investigators that on the night
35:43
the murders he was visiting his sick
35:45
wife in the hospital several
35:48
hours away from the crimes the
35:50
you know police were gonna let up on this gun
35:53
know they're gonna work they worked on
35:55
tracing the origin of the revolver
35:58
henry stated his brother given
36:00
to him for his birthday then then
36:02
later eventually admitted to filing
36:05
the serial number off according
36:07
to the website sumpter mystery
36:09
couple dot com investigators
36:12
trace the weapon back to a small south
36:14
carolina criminal gangs unfortunately
36:17
there doesn't appear to be much information available
36:20
about whether any further inquiries
36:22
regarding the firearm turned
36:24
out any potential the the
36:27
average ten or just got it as a birthday present
36:29
they chose the file the zero
36:32
number offer who knows
36:34
what is reason was yeah i mean
36:36
it sounds like his brother got it from
36:38
may be this reputable
36:41
source but i don't
36:43
know if there's anything illegal about it he
36:45
said have purchased it from a criminal
36:47
gang i guess i don't understand
36:49
the filing of the the serial
36:52
number off though because
36:54
that today will catch
36:56
you a serious sure i
36:58
don't know what to pony for that was
37:01
back in the seventies
37:04
samson is it seems only your even
37:06
back then yes i don't know how
37:09
severe the penalty would have been
37:12
now we mentioned the book of matches
37:14
that was found in jocks
37:16
genes the now they
37:19
originated from a truck stop
37:21
chain the tories learned
37:23
that the matches were
37:25
only sold in idaho new
37:27
mexico in nebraska some
37:29
reports also mentioned arizona
37:32
the location the
37:34
matches were sold by not
37:36
all according to the high point
37:38
enterprise after the tip about
37:41
the masses was publicly release
37:43
the nebraska man told police he
37:46
may have performed repairs on
37:48
a vehicle that was driven by
37:50
a couple who resembled the victim
37:53
this too
37:54
prove to be a dead end so you know
37:56
police are getting a lot of really good stuff
38:00
just doesn't lead anywhere
38:02
i mean if you look at these gibbs
38:04
on the surface these are very
38:07
promising leads they are they
38:09
just didn't pan out during
38:11
the first year of the investigation garcon
38:14
jane's bodies were kept at a south
38:17
carolina funeral home
38:18
to allow the public to be able to identify
38:21
them the claim there remains
38:24
the top of the cascades was
38:26
transparent
38:27
according to the greenwood index journal
38:30
people from texas rhode
38:32
island the one hand
38:35
contact two detectives to
38:37
see if the victims could be
38:39
people they knew who are miss
38:41
despite the cascades being air
38:43
time the decomposition
38:45
process couldn't be held offer an
38:48
entire year at pass without
38:50
anyone coming forward to claim
38:53
jaco or jane the
38:55
there's two things here to me number one
38:58
i was surprised that they could
39:00
pp two bodies
39:02
reserved as long as they could preserve for
39:04
a year now what doesn't
39:06
surprise me there you
39:09

39:11
who had a missing loved one
39:14

39:22
think any family member any mom
39:25
dad sister brother that
39:28
a family member disappear
39:30
we do anything in their power to try
39:32
to figure out what happened to them now
39:34
would include really keeping
39:37
an eye out for stories about
39:40
i'm identified individual
39:42
rights and then learning the
39:44
details of that story and
39:46
trying to figure out exactly be there
39:48
loved
39:49
the florence morning news covered the
39:51
church service held for jack and jane

41:00
i can be huge
41:03
help in any case shows
41:05
like unsolved mysteries america's

41:15

41:17
of tips from viewers
41:20
but i want to go back to this verna more the
41:22
mechanic have debated by
41:25
her there she was just not
41:27
going to let this
41:29
case go if she contacted
41:33
a bunch of different countries
41:35
the tried to figure out who
41:37
these people were
41:38
she wouldn't let up trying
41:41
to get their case aired on unsolved
41:43
mysteries you really have to give enough for
41:45
her then in two thousand and
41:47
seven weird advances
41:50
in forensic technology lerner
41:52
requested for jobs in jane's
41:54
bodies to be exact to allow

an attempt you identify them this
42:01
process all their teeth
42:04
and bones samples extracted then
42:06
compared to mitochondrial
42:08
dna which was already on
42:10
file around the country if
42:13
either of their mothers had ever provided
42:15
dna to the authorities for a reason
42:18
there would ideally be a man
42:21
there was no match but the exercise
42:23
did solve one mr
42:25
finally there was confirmation the jock
42:27
insane we're not really though
42:30
i think once this was discovered

42:35
that they were caught investigators
42:37
couldn't be certain of the nature
42:39
of their relationships beyond confirming
42:42
that the pair had been traveling together

50:04
he waded very long
50:06
most family unsuccessfully
50:08
tried to track her down there's
50:10
very little information out there retailing
50:13
exactly how and when james
50:16
and pamela mats and how long
50:18
they may have been traveling together the for
50:20
that fateful summer night what
50:22
he does appear the police
50:24
originally suspected that they were hitchhiking
50:27
their way around the country something
50:29
that was clarified at the two
50:31
thousand twenty one county sheriff's
50:33
press conference was the details
50:35
of the couples injury hamlin
50:38
james had been shot three times why
50:41
they had not as was previously
50:43
reported been shot in the thread the
50:45
county sheriff's office confirmed that
50:48
those pamela in james died
50:50
after being shot in the back of the head
50:52
the to me gives you know this revelation
50:56
that they were both shot in the head
50:59
as opposed to what had been reported
51:01
in or early on saturday brings
51:04
to mind the execution
51:06
style killed that's what we often
51:08
think of the is being
51:11
shot in the head we call it an execution
51:13
style
51:14
when james and pamela's identities
51:16
were v order a press conference the
51:18
sheriff's office announced that they were
51:20
pursuing several persons of interest
51:23
although they didn't indicate who
51:25
these people were according
51:28
to w i s news ten police
51:30
also commented that the
51:32
believe the murders were an isolated
51:34
and so no doubt police
51:37
uncovered some for there
51:39
was still a lot of questions or restore lot
51:41
on know journalists according
51:43
to the north carolina daily times
51:45
news investigators wondered
51:48
if the parent his derived
51:50
where the wrong person or the wrong people
51:53
or on the other hand had
51:55
james and pamela been driving
51:57
a vehicle then picked up some
51:59
his the kurds who shot him dead on the
52:01
side of the road and then drove off with their
52:03
view that we have to go
52:05
back to george him it
52:08
was picked up for drunk driving months
52:10
after the murders
52:12
to me henry is a
52:14
very intriguing yeah
52:17
obviously he had the murder weapon
52:19
with now he gave police
52:22
an alibi
52:23
i don't know gibbs are really couldn't
52:25
find anywhere if it
52:27
was certify were where
52:30
weather was verified or not or
52:32
verifiable this alibi
52:35
the problem is investigators can't
52:37
make any further inquiries with
52:39
henry because he passed away in nineteen
52:42
eighty two i don't know how you
52:44
take this guy asked to take
52:46
anyone who's in possession
52:48
of the murder weapon has
52:50
to be a pretty
52:51
serious person of interest is every relevant
52:54
right yeah i mean there's nothing you can
52:56
do to him now obviously
52:58
even if the you know the
53:01
the uncovered some additional information
53:05
you seen a lot of cases where alibis
53:07
were thought to be pretty
53:09
air tide turned out that they
53:12
weren't even true just don't know
53:14
with the sky
53:15
one him from his name that was thrown into the mix
53:17
was notorious serial killer
53:19
henry louis
53:21
as you might we talk about henry lee lucas
53:24
every episode
53:25
somehow he gets involved or
53:28
his name gets brought up it does pop
53:30
up a lot of it does specially babies
53:32
because any time somebody starts confessing
53:35
to a large number of crimes you
53:37
can't help but bring in henry
53:39
lucas
53:40
are you there is only men any without yes
53:42
i'm saying if we were talking to him right now
53:44
i'd say i've tried to down speculation
53:47
arose around lucas after he told
53:49
police that he was in south carolina
53:51
when the murders occurred according
53:53
to the greenwood index journal police
53:55
doubted he could the response i
53:58
mean we talked about him right
54:00
this was the guy who had
54:02
a demonstrated pad the
54:05
admitting to murders that
54:08
the didn't commit
54:09
it was proven right that he
54:12
confessed the murders that he didn't commit
54:15
then there was no compelling evidence
54:17
linking him to pamela james's
54:19
murder lucas later confessed
54:22
to to other murders in sumter county
54:24
one in nineteen seventy five and
54:26
the other and nineteen eighty two police
54:28
didn't find any links
54:30
between you have these claimed
54:33
these das and the das of hamlin
54:36
and james lucas died in
54:38
prison in two thousand one
54:40
you for me when it comes to henry
54:43
lee lucas i have a hard
54:45
time the them just because
54:48
he's confess everything grows he
54:50
did while he was alive so
54:53
much of them have been
54:55
proven to be
54:57
incorrect throat like it's literally been
54:59
proven that he couldn't have done would
55:01
you said it in what he said he did i
55:04
don't know that it's been proven
55:06
that couldn't have killed
55:09
hamlin james the what's
55:11
been reported as that
55:14
police down that
55:16
he could be responsible so very
55:18
or yeah to take it that way
55:20
we mentioned genealogy records
55:23
show that the divorce between pamela
55:25
and her strange husband gary was
55:28
finalized and nineteen seventy said eerie
55:30
later remarried and passed away in two thousand
55:33
eighteen a lot of cases
55:36
it's often the spouse of a person who
55:38
is responsible their das we know that
55:41
we see that in tons of cases
55:43
the in the research on this case is really
55:45
nothing to suggest the gary
55:47
was involved or that he
55:50
was considered a suspected
55:52
at any point that the press
55:54
conference announcing the identification
55:56
of james and pay law enforcement
55:58
invited matthew daniel to speak
56:01
member he's the guy who contacted
56:03
law enforcement encourage them
56:05
to pursue genetic
56:07
genealogy testing
56:09
matthew has an idea of who may be responsible
56:12
and his passes information a research
56:14
on to investigate one of the
56:16
theories posted on sumpter
56:18
mystery couple of dot com that
56:21
pamela in james's murders
56:23
the drug really
56:25
according to lancaster on line matthew
56:27
is even suggested that james
56:30
may have been the killers primary target
56:32
and pamela was simply in the wrong place
56:35
at the wrong time according to the sumpter
56:37
daily item at the time
56:39
of the murder hi ninety five
56:41
core door where pamela and james or
56:44
found well known as the main
56:46
route for transporting cocaine from
56:49
new york city to my
56:51
the i think when you consider the execution
56:53
style of the murderers the
56:55
knows
56:56
help support the theory that the killings
56:59
may have been targeted
57:00
because the investigation has been reopened
57:03
when are really privy to all the the
57:05
details the other thing that i think
57:07
people point to gibbs around
57:10
this fear the is you
57:13
know it being known that the
57:16
very least james was down and
57:18
for we mention sweet sebring
57:20
we mentioned the races okay
57:23
the do you have been in miami at one point
57:26
making his way up to your
57:29
yeah he meets up with pamela
57:32
we don't know possibility those
57:35
ruled out racy everything
57:37
is on the table everything is a possibility
57:40
and kill it is ruled out conclusive
57:43
then i also think that is
57:45
the draw two cases
57:47
like this that or unsolved
57:50
that have a great deal of mystery
57:52
surrounding them
57:54
that there are angles there
57:56
are theories to pursue things
57:59
to look into and a lot of people
58:01
find that extremely fast
58:03
there's no doubt the identification
58:06
of james and pamela has reinvigorated
58:08
the investigation we said it
58:10
early on
58:11
how do you really get the investigation
58:14
started when you don't
58:16
even know who these people they
58:18
will now we do the know who
58:20
they are
58:21
the i think that in and of itself
58:24
since you kick started the
58:26
investigation the the
58:29
questions remain they
58:31
were hurdles that law
58:33
enforcement the have to overcome
58:35
questions that they have to answer your what
58:38
really was the nature of
58:40
the relationship between james
58:42
and pamela i don't think it's
58:44
ever been confirmed where
58:46
they met brain how they met
58:49
how long they had been together
58:51
before the murders occurred if
58:54
you think about it there have been some very
58:57
recent developments right
58:59
in this case and when you
59:01
have that
59:03
these really old unsolved
59:05
cases he brings new hope
59:07
your everything can have gets reinvigorate
59:11
the guys yeah to think about
59:13
it if these two individuals
59:15
can be identified after
59:18
what forty five years or so
59:20
the news much better
59:23
hope in identifying
59:25
the killer killer's scherzer now
59:28
the killer or killers still going to
59:30
be a live that's a big question
59:34
even if it was
59:36
a young this killer
59:38
the group of killers will say
59:40
in their mid twenties and by
59:42
now the beast seventy some years old
59:44
right there so you
59:47
obviously every year that goes by
59:50
there's a chance that they may
59:52
no longer be alive the bill
59:54
would identify them lab was
59:56
a you even is the perpetrator
59:59
or perpetrators we're all the seats
1:00:01
yeah it would be huge to
1:00:03
identify they were
1:00:06
in and and give some kind
1:00:08
of fine now the
1:00:10
to this case you and i talked about

1:00:22
similar amount of time maybe even longer
1:00:25
they just recently kind
1:00:27
of announce that they believe
1:00:29
they know who the killers are so yeah
1:00:32
that's the thing you can never say
1:00:34

1:00:36
the on these types of cases because
1:00:38

so we don't use it in so
1:06:23
you may be a heard that somewhere
1:06:25
read it now it's possible that
1:06:27
it's a fact and we just missed it that's
1:06:30
absolutely possible but i know
1:06:32
there are times where we
1:06:34
purposefully leave things out
1:06:36
because we just can't corroborate
1:06:39
and we can't find them in more than
1:06:41
one play so we just
1:06:43
don't know the validity yeah lot of
1:06:45
