Web of Lies (2014–…): Season 4, Episode 1 - People You May Know - full transcript

Narrator:
A SERIES OF YOUNG WOMEN...

Parker: I WAS THRILLED.

I CAUGHT SOMEONE'S EYE.

MEET THEIR DREAM GUY
ON THE INTERNET.

LOOK AT THIS HOTTIE
TALKING TO ME.

BUT IS THEIR PRINCE
ALL THAT HE SEEMS?

I WASN'T DRUNK.
I --

I WOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN THAT DRUNK.

OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS NOT OKAY.

THIS CASE WAS VERY DIFFICULT

BECAUSE THE INTERNET
IS A VERY BIG PLACE.



Narrator:
OR IS SOMEONE LYING?

HE WAS ON TOP OF ME.

I -- I KNOW IT WAS HIM.

HE SHOWED
ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE.

[ Gasping ]

HE IS A PREDATOR
OF THE FIRST ORDER.

STOP THIS!
STOP!

♪

♪

OKAY, RIGHT.

Narrator:
LORIANNA PARKER'S LIFE

HAS JUST BEEN
TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

[ BABY GURGLES ]

SEVEN DAYS AGO SHE BECAME
A MOM FOR THE FIRST TIME.



LORIANNA AND HER BABY
SON, RAYDEN,

LIVE IN A SUBURB OF TULSA.

HE'S GOOD.

YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN SLEEPING
A LOT TODAY, HAVEN'T YOU?

THAT'S MY BOY.

LIKE FATHER,
LIKE SON.

HER PARTNER,
RODNEY, IS A WELDER.

AND HE'S WORKING AWAY
FROM HOME IN EAST LANSING,

MICHIGAN, 900 MILES AWAY.

HOW YOU DOING,
SWEETHEART?

OH, YOU KNOW.
EXHAUSTED.

Parker: RAYDEN WAS ACTUALLY
DUE ON APRIL 18.

AND THAT'S WHEN
WE HAD PLANNED

THAT RODNEY
WAS GONNA BE COMING DOWN.

INSTEAD, RAYDEN MADE IT
INTO THIS WORLD ON APRIL 5th.

SINCE APRIL 5,
WE WERE CONSTANTLY

VIDEO CHATTING BACK AND FORTH.

IT WAS ALL THAT WE HAD.

YOU THINK HE RECOGNIZES
MY VOICE YET?

OF COURSE, HE DOES.

Narrator: HAVING MISSED THE
BIRTH OF HIS SON,

RODNEY IS EAGER TO BOND
WITH HIS NEW FAMILY.

IT WAS LIKE HE COULD HAVE
JUMPED OUT OF THE PHONE

BECAUSE YOU KNEW HOW BAD
HE WANTED TO BE THERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I THINK HE'S TIRED.

I'M GONNA PUT HIM
DOWN FOR A NAP.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK,
OKAY?

YEAH, SURE.

LORIANNA AND RODNEY
HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 4 YEARS.

YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE
OUR LITTLE FAMILY

IS COMPLETE NOW,
YOU KNOW?

COMPLETE WITH JUST ONE?

THAT'S ENOUGH,
I GUESS, FOR NOW.

OKAY.

RODNEY WAS VERY GENUINE,
HUGE-HEARTED.

HE MADE YOU FEEL GOOD.

YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT I WANT,
TO MAKE YOU HAPPY.

I KNOW.

Piguet: RODNEY TREATED HER
LIKE A PRINCESS.

HE'D BUY HER THINGS.
THEY'D GO OUT ALL THE TIME.

THEY'D STAY UP
ALL NIGHT TALKING.

HE WAS JUST PERFECT FOR HER.

Narrator: BUT THE LIFE THAT
THE COUPLE HAD PLANNED TOGETHER

WAS NOT MEANT TO BE.

WHY?

YEAH, I GET IT.
WHY?

WHY DO I HAVE TO CALL HER?

I GOT A CALL FROM A FRIEND
IN MICHIGAN THAT I HAD MADE.

AND SHE SAID,

"YOU NEED TO GET A HOLD
OF RODNEY'S MOM NOW."

OKAY.
YEAH.

YES. YES, I'LL CALL HER
RIGHT NOW.

YES...
OKAY.

I'LL --
I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

BYE.

CALLED HER UP,
AND SHE WAS IN...

"WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU TALKED TO RODNEY?"

UM, LAST NIGHT?

THEN YOU DON'T KNOW?

K-- KNOW?
KNOW WHAT?

"RODNEY PASSED AWAY
IN A CAR ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT."

NO, I -- I TALKED
TO HIM LAST NIGHT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A LIE.

"I HAD TALKED TO HIM
HOURS AGO, LAST NIGHT.

THERE'S NO WAY
THAT HE'S GONE."

WHAT?

[ Sobs ]

NO!

[ Sobbing ] NO!

NO!

NO!
[ Sobbing continues ]

NO!

[ Screams, sobbing ]

EVERYTHING WAS SUCH A BLUR.

I WAS SO CONFUSED.

I SCREAMED WHAT FELT, LIKE,
FOR HOURS AND HOURS.

LORIANNA WAS DEVASTATED.

I MEAN, THAT WAS HER LIFE.

I MEAN, IT WAS HER SON'S FATHER.

SHE...

I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT SHE WAS GONNA DO.

I WAS JUST AS SPEECHLESS
AND SHOCKED.

Parker:
I NEVER THOUGHT 9 DAYS

AFTER HAVING A CHILD,
I WOULD WAKE UP.

AND I WOULD SAY,
"I'M DOING THIS BY MYSELF."

YOU'RE OKAY.

YOU OPEN YOUR EYES
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.

YOU REALIZE THAT
THIS LITTLE BOY ONLY HAS YOU.

I HAD PUSHED EVERYONE AWAY.

AND HALF THE TIME I DIDN'T EVEN
WANT MY FAMILY AROUND.

IT WAS HARD BECAUSE
NOBODY HAS, IN MY FAMILY,

LOST SOMEONE THE WAY
I LOST SOMEBODY.

Narrator: BUT WITHIN A MONTH
OF RODNEY'S DEATH,

LORIANNA IS DETERMINED
TO PULL HERSELF TOGETHER

AND GIVE RAYDEN THE BEST
POSSIBLE START IN LIFE.

WHILE HER MOM BABYSITS,

SHE GETS A JOB
AS A MEDICAL ASSISTANT.

GOOD MORNING.
YOU'RE NEXT.

Piguet:
SHE'S JUST VERY ENERGETIC.

SHE LIGHTS UP A ROOM.

SO THIS IS YOUR NEW
INHALER WE HAVE FOR YOU.

SHE'S VERY CARING
AND COMPASSIONATE.

AND PATIENTS LOVE HER.

OH, OKAY. GREAT.

THE MEDICAL FIELD WAS
JUST PERFECT FOR HER.

Narrator: EAGER TO BOOST HER
CAREER PROSPECTS,

EVERY NIGHT AFTER WORK,

LORIANNA ATTENDS CLASSES
AT TULSA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

TO STUDY
RESPIRATORY THERAPY.

Parker: IT WAS VERY HARD
TO KNOW THAT RAYDEN

MAY NOT SEE ME
DURING THE DAY AT ALL.

BUT I ALSO KNEW
THAT GOING TO SCHOOL MEANT

THAT I WAS GIVING HIM
MORE IN THE FUTURE.

Narrator: TWO YEARS AFTER
RODNEY'S DEATH,

LORIANNA FEELS SHE'S
READY TO MOVE ON.

Lorianna: I DECIDED THAT
I WANTED TO DATE AGAIN.

AND I WAS GONNA MEET PEOPLE.

I WAS GONNA FINALLY
GET OUT THERE.

Narrator:
SHE USES A SOCIAL MEDIA

DATING APP TO CONNECT WITH MEN

AND ARRANGE DATES.

Piguet: I WAS GLAD THAT SHE WAS
TRYING TO HAVE A LIFE AGAIN.

I KNOW IT'S HARD WITH A BABY
AND CAREER AND SCHOOL.

BUT I WAS GLAD FOR HER.

I MEAN, SHE NEEDED
TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

Narrator: BUT ANY POTENTIAL
PARTNER HAS A LOT TO LIVE UP TO.

IF THEY DIDN'T MATCH
HIS STANDARDS,

AND IF THEY DIDN'T
ACT LIKE RODNEY,

THEN I WAS AUTOMATICALLY LIKE
"NOPE, THIS ONE'S NOT FOR ME."

- AND DID YOU SEE HIM?
- OH, MY GOSH.

OKAY, SHOW ME.
CAN YOU SEE HIM?

YEAH, I'M ZOOMING --
I'M ZOOMING!

- ZOOM IN!
- OKAY, I'M GOING.

THIS PHONE IS OLD.

Ramos:
SHE'D MEET A COUPLE OF THEM.

AND, LIKE, THE NEXT DAY
SHE'D TELL ME THINGS

SHE WOULDN'T LIKE ABOUT THEM.

AND I'D BE LIKE, "THAT'S, LIKE,
SMALL STUFF, YOU KNOW?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE,
LIKE, THAT PICKY.

AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE, LIKE,
COMPARING THEM TO RODNEY."

Narrator: BUT 1 MONTH LATER,
EVERYTHING CHANGES.

ON JANUARY 8, I WAS FLIPPING
THROUGH FACEBOOK ON MY PHONE.

I WENT BACK AND FORTH ON PEOPLE
THAT I MAY KNOW.

THEN HIS NAME POPPED UP...

COREY DAVIS.

HE IS SUPER HOT.

AND WE HAVE MUTUAL FRIENDS?

THIS IS A WIN-WIN.

WE'RE BOUND TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

Narrator: COREY DAVIS IS 26.

AND HE'S GOT PLENTY OF FRIENDS.

HE'S MR. POPULAR.

Parker: I NEVER THOUGHT,

"I'M GONNA GO AHEAD
AND FRIEND REQUEST THIS GUY."

I JUST THOUGHT,
"IF HE REMEMBERED ME,

HE'LL FRIEND REQUEST ME THEN."

THE FOLLOWING DAY,

I GOT A FACEBOOK REQUEST
FROM COREY DAVIS.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT
COREY DAVIS WAS MESSAGING ME,

JUST AN AVERAGE GIRL,

WHILE COREY DAVIS
IS THIS SUPER ATTRACTIVE GUY.

SO THEY GRABBED A MANNEQUIN
AND ATTACHED IT TO A BICYCLE,

DROVE IT DOWN A HILL,

SMASHED INTO A BUILDING
IN FRONT OF A CROWD OF PEOPLE.

- [ Laughter ]
- [ PHONE VIBRATES ]

HOLD ON.

Parker: HE TOLD ME THAT HE SAW
ME GOING TO CLASS

AT TULSA COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

AND I WAS THRILLED.

LIKE, I CAUGHT SOMEONE'S EYE.

AND HE REMEMBERED ME.

Narrator: COREY TELLS LORIANNA
HE USED TO WORK AS A MODEL.

BUT NOW, HE'S LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING NEW IN TULSA.

Parker: WE TALKED FOR HOURS BACK
AND FORTH ON FACEBOOK MESSENGER.

IT WAS LIKE I HAD FOUND
A BRAND-NEW BEST FRIEND.

I WOULD TEXT COREY IN THE
MORNING WHEN I WOULD WAKE UP.

OH, SORRY!

I WOULD TEXT COREY
WHILE I WAS PUTTING ON MAKEUP.

I WOULD TEXT COREY
WHILE I WAS AT WORK.

I WOULD TEXT COREY
WHILE I WAS EATING.

I WAS ALWAYS TEXTING COREY.

TWENTY BUCKS!
I'M SORRY.

I'LL TAKE, UH,
CASH, CREDIT,

CHECK, UH, FOOD STAMPS,
MONEY ORDER.

IT'S TOTALLY UP TO
YOU GUYS.

Narrator: AFTER 21/2 WEEKS,

COREY INVITES LORIANNA TO HANG
OUT WITH HIM AND HIS FRIENDS.

COME ON.
THANK YOU.

I SAID, "YES."
I WAS LIKE, "LET'S HANG OUT."

LIKE, "LET'S GO OUT."

I'M FINALLY GONNA GET
A SOCIAL LIFE AGAIN.

AND THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT.

I GOT REALLY EXCITED.

Narrator:
BUT LORIANNA'S DREAM DATE

WILL BE FAR
FROM WHAT SHE EXPECTS.

Proehl-Day: YOU DON'T EXPECT
BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE TO BE EVIL.

THAT'S WHY NONE OF THESE GIRLS
STOOD A CHANCE.

Narrator:
SINGLE MOM LORIANNA PARKER

HAS ARRANGED TO HANG OUT
WITH COREY DAVIS,

A GUY SHE MET ON FACEBOOK.

BUT ON THE DAY
OF THEIR FIRST DATE,

NERVOUS TENSION
GETS THE BETTER OF HER.

I TEXTED COREY
TO LET HIM KNOW

THAT I HAD GOTTEN SUPER SICK.

HE GOT VERY UPSET WITH ME
THINKING

THAT I WAS LYING TO HIM.

I FELT TERRIBLE BECAUSE
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS MEET HIM.

BUT NOW I'M A BAD PERSON
BECAUSE I GOT SICK.

AND HE DIDN'T WANT
TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME

FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

Narrator: LORIANNA HEARS NOTHING
FROM COREY UNTIL NOON THE NEXT DAY.

Parker: WE MADE UP.

AND EVERYTHING WAS OKAY.

I KNOW.

HE SAID, "PEOPLE ARE GONNA START
GETTING THERE AROUND 10, 10:30."

AND, "OKAY. EASY.

THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO."

Narrator: LORIANNA LEAVES HER
SON WITH HER MOTHER AND HEADS

FOR COREY'S PLACE
IN NORTH TULSA.

Parker: HE GAVE ME THE ADDRESS
TO THE APARTMENT.

HE SAID, "GO AHEAD AND GPS IT.

BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO CALL ME

BECAUSE THE SPEAKER
ON MY PHONE IS MESSED UP.

SO YOU CAN ONLY TEXT ME."

Narrator: BUT LORIANNA'S GPS
ISN'T WORKING EITHER.

WHEN SHE REACHES
NORTH TULSA, SHE GETS LOST.

I TEXTED COREY
AND LET HIM KNOW

THAT I DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE I WAS AT.

AND I'M NOW RUNNING LATE.

COREY TOLD ME HE LEFT
FROM THE APARTMENT

TO GO PICK UP
SOME OF HIS FRIENDS

AND PICK UP SOME FOOD,

BUT NOT TO WORRY
BECAUSE HIS ROOMMATE, ASHLEY,

AND HIS SON WOULD BE THERE
AT THE DOOR FOR ME.

I WAS FURIOUS.
I THOUGHT,

"HE'S GETTING BACK
AT ME TO MAKE ME MAD.

SO HE'S GONNA END UP
CANCELING ON ME NOW."

Narrator: EVENTUALLY,
LORIANNA FINDS HER WAY

TO COREY'S APARTMENT BUILDING.

- HI.
- HEY! I'M ASHLEY.

OH, I'M LORIANNA.
GOOD TO MEET YOU.

- NICE TO MEET YOU.
- AND WHO'S THIS GUY?

- DANIEL.
- DANIEL, NICE TO MEET YOU!

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
- FIVE.

FIVE, WOW!

COREY JUST STEPPED OUT.
HE'LL BE BACK IN A FEW MINUTES.

YEAH, HE MENTIONED THAT.

IT -- IT'S OKAY.
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

DID YOU WANT TO GO UPSTAIRS
AND WAIT FOR HIM THERE?

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

- YEAH?
- SO BIG!

[ Laughs ]
- YEAH.

NICE PLACE.

- DADDY, LOOK WHAT I DID!
- WHAT'S...

Narrator: LORIANNA IS AN INSTANT
HIT WITH LITTLE DANIEL.

- SEE MY TOYS!
- SEE YOUR TOYS?

Parker: I GO INTO THE APARTMENT
ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE
YOUR NORMAL BACHELOR PAD.

- DID YOU DRAW THIS?
- YES.

OH, WOW.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

- THAT'S A FISH?
- YES.

- YOU DID THIS ALL BY YOURSELF?
- YES!

AND HE WANTED ME
TO WATCH TV WITH HIM.

AND HE WANTED TO SIT
ON THE COUCH WITH ME.

WHAT ARE WE WATCHING?

- TV.
- TV.

Parker: HE WAS A GOOD KID.

SO IT'S YOU, DANIEL AND COREY
SHARING THIS APARTMENT?

YEAH.

- DANIEL'S MOM LEFT.
- REALLY?

SAID SHE WANTED NOTHING TO DO
WITH HAVING A SON.

I'M SORRY.
THAT -- THAT'S TOO BAD.

SO DOES DANIEL GO
TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?

YEAH.

HE'S REALLY GOOD
WITH HIS SCHOOLWORK.

YEAH?

AND HE'S --
HE'S A PRETTY FAST KID.

Parker: ASHLEY SEEMED LIKE
A REALLY GOOD DAD.

HE WAS SUPER NICE.

I COULD HAVE TALKED
TO ASHLEY ALL NIGHT LONG.

DO YOU LIKE SCHOOL, DANIEL?

DOES HE HAVE
A LOT OF FRIENDS?

I GUESS SO.
HE'S A PRETTY POPULAR KID.

RIGHT, DANIEL?

RIGHT?

Davis: MATT, ARE YOU SURE
YOU CAN CARRY ALL THOSE?

WHY'D WE GET
A PINEAPPLE?

FRUIT DOESN'T GO ON PIZZA!

Parker:
I WAS NOW UPSET WITH COREY.

AND I DIDN'T EVEN REALLY
WANT TO GO OUT ANY MORE.

IF ANY OF YOU GUYS
DROP ANY OF THAT PIZZA,

I'M GONNA DROP ONE OF YOU.

[ RAP MUSIC PLAYS ]

I TALKED TO ASHLEY
SOME MORE

WHILE TEXTING BACK
AND FORTH WITH COREY.

COREY TOLD ME THAT
I JUST NEEDED TO TAKE A DRINK,

SO THAT WAY I COULD
JUST LOOSEN UP.

- WOULD YOU LIKE A SHOT?
- YOU KNOW WHAT?

YEAH.
I'LL TAKE A DRINK.

I ONLY HAVE VODKA.

YOU DON'T MIND?
- NO, THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU.

I SHOULDN'T BE SAYIN' THIS
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T GET YOUR HOPES

TOO HIGH WITH COREY.

- OH.
- YEAH.

HE'S A GOOD GUY
AND EVERYTHING.

BUT HE'S NOT THE MOST
RELIABLE PERSON.

I --
I THINK I NEED THIS.

CHEERS.

Parker: ASHLEY TOLD ME THAT
"MORE THAN LIKELY,

HE'S NOT WITH GUY FRIENDS.

HE'S PROBABLY WITH
GIRL FRIENDS.

AND THAT'S PROBABLY
WHY HE'S LATE."

WE'VE NEVER MADE IT
THIS FAR.

SO WE HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER HERE.

YOU GO BEHIND.

Parker:
I CONTINUED TO TEXT COREY.

AND HE TOLD ME NOW,

THEY'RE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

SO IT'S GONNA BE LONGER
UNTIL HE'S THERE.

YEAH, RICKY!

OH, ATTABOY.

I'VE GOTTEN SO UPSET AND MAD.

HE'S PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

Ashley:
THAT'S SO COREY.

DOES IT TO EVERYBODY.

I HAD POSTED ON FACEBOOK

ABOUT HOW COREY DAVIS
IS A DOUCHEBAG.

I WAS SO MAD.

I'VE HAD MY HOPES UP
TO MEET THIS MAN.

AND NOW,
HE'S BLOWING ME OFF.

- WANT ANOTHER ONE?
- YEAH, SURE.

- CHEERS.
- CHEERS.

I'VE NOW SAT THERE FOR AN HOUR
AND A HALF TALKING.

"JUST GIVE ME ANOTHER DRINK."
YOU GOT NO CHANCE, OKAY?

NO CHANCE.
NO CHANCE.

CHEATERS!
CHEATING!

Parker: BY 12,
MY WHOLE CHEST WAS HEAVY.

AND MY EYES WERE HEAVY.

AND I COULD FEEL
MY BODY JUST WEAK.

I COULD HAVE JUST
CLOSED MY EYES

AND JUST
WENT TO SLEEP FOR DAYS.

Ashley: HEY, BUDDY.
IT'S TIME TO GO TO SLEEP.

COME ON.

[ CRYING ]

Parker: WHEN I WOKE UP AGAIN,

I WAS LAYING
ON A MATTRESS ON A FLOOR

WITH A MAN ABOVE ME.

AND ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS,

"IF I LET HIM KNOW
THAT I'M AWAKE,

AND THAT I KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING,

I'M GONNA DIE."

Narrator:
LORIANNA PARKER HAD ARRANGED

TO HOOK UP WITH COREY DAVIS,

A GUY SHE MET THROUGH FACEBOOK.

INSTEAD, SHE MEETS
HIS ROOMMATE, ASHLEY.

THEY DRINK SHOTS TOGETHER.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT IS A BLUR.

Parker: I WOKE UP.
AND IT WAS 2:13 IN THE MORNING.

I WAS CONFUSED.

I'M IN A PAIR OF BASKETBALL
SHORTS THAT AREN'T MINE,

I DON'T HAVE A SHIRT ON,

AND THE ONLY THING
I THINK OF IS, "I HAVE TO LEAVE.

AND I HAVE TO LEAVE NOW."

HEY.

WHERE YOU GOING?

I -- I'VE JUST GOT
TO GET HOME.

WE HAD SO MUCH
FUN LAST NIGHT.

IT'S LIKE WE REALLY
CONNECTED, YOU KNOW?

YEAH.
OKAY.

AM I GONNA GET TO
SEE YOU AGAIN?

I'LL, UH, I'LL GET BACK
TO YOU ON THAT.

GET HOME SAFE.

Parker: I'M THINKING,

"WHAT JUST HAPPENED
BETWEEN YOU AND I?"

[ PHONE RINGS ]

THERE WAS JUST
SO MUCH CONFUSION.

Narrator: LATER THAT MORNING,
LORIANNA STRUGGLES

TO REMEMBER
WHAT HAPPENED.

Parker: ALL I COULD THINK OF
WAS, "WHAT ALL DID I SAY?

WHAT ALL DID I DO?

DID WHAT I THINK AND WHAT
I SEE NOT REALLY HAPPEN?"

AGAIN, HE'S TELLING ME
HOW WE HAD AN AWESOME NIGHT.

AND EVERYTHING'S GREAT.

AND HE'S SO SORRY
THAT COREY DIDN'T SHOW UP.

I'M TELLING HIM, "I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU REMEMBER.

BUT FROM WHAT I REMEMBER
OF THE NIGHT

WHAT HAPPENED
ISN'T WHAT I DO."

ASHLEY TOLD ME WHAT
HAPPENED TO COREY

AND WHY HE DIDN'T SHOW UP.

COREY HAD GOTTEN PULLED
OVER FOR SPEEDING

AND HE WAS THROWN IN JAIL

FOR OUTSTANDING TICKETS
AND WARRANTS.

I SAID, "I REALLY
DIDN'T CARE ANYMORE."

ASHLEY SAID,
"WELL YOU CAN'T FORGET,

THIS WAS YOUR IDEA TOO, THOUGH.

GOING TO THE BEDROOM
WAS MY IDEA."

I WAS THE ONE WHO CAME ONTO HIM.

I HAD FINALLY GOTTEN
SO MAD AT ASHLEY

FOR SAYING
HOW ALL THIS WAS MY FAULT.

TO WHERE I SAID,
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT COREY.

I'M DONE TALKING
TO BOTH OF YOU."

OKAY. SO I'VE CHECKED UP
ON DONALD...

- MM-HMM.
- ...AND ROBERT AND LILY.

OKAY.

AND THEN I'M GONNA
GET TO SANDRA AND RICK.

- OKAY. GREAT, YEAH.
- IS THAT OKAY?

- YEAH.
- OKAY.

LET ME JUST CHECK MY PHONE.

UM, ARE THEY IN
A DIFFERENT ROOM NOW?

- I THINK SO, I JUST CHECKED...
- OKAY.

Parker: I RECEIVED A TEXT FROM
COREY. HE'S COMPLETELY MAD.

HE FOUND OUT WHAT HAPPENED,

AND THAT I'VE HAD SEX
WITH ASHLEY.

LORIANNA?

Narrator: COREY TELLS HER THAT
HE DID RETURN TO THE APARTMENT

THE NIGHT THEY HAD
PLANNED TO MEET.

Ramon: HE SAYS THAT HE FOUND
THEM IN THE BED,

AND THAT HE'D LEFT.

AND THAT'S WHY HE WASN'T
THERE IN THE MORNING.

SO HE SAYS THAT HE WAS
JUST REALLY UPSET.

AND HE WAS, LIKE, ANGRY.
AND HE WAS, LIKE,

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME."

WHAT'S GOING ON?

Ramon: COREY WOULD TELL LORIANNA
THAT SHE WAS A BITCH.

HE WOULD TELL HER
THAT SHE WAS A WHORE.

THEN HE WOULD TELL HER
THAT SHE WAS A SLUT

BECAUSE SHE WAS SLEEPING
AROUND WITH HIS ROOMMATE.

OH, MY GOSH.

LORIANNA,
THIS IS TERRIBLE!

I HAD FELT SO IMPORTANT
WITH COREY DAYS AGO...

...TO NOW,
FEELING LIKE I'M SCUM.

Narrator: THAT EVENING, LORIANNA
IS BOMBARDED WITH MESSAGES.

[ PHONE CHIMES ]

STOP THIS! STOP!

Parker: I BLOCK ASHLEY OFF
FACEBOOK.

I TELL COREY THAT I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.

I DON'T WANT A PART OF THIS.
I AM DONE.

AND FINALLY, IT STOPPED.

HE KEPT TELLING ME,
UM, "GO AHEAD.

T-- DRINK.
ASKING ME TO DRINK, LOOSEN UP."

Narrator: TWO WEEKS EARLIER,
A WOMAN APPEARS

AT THE TULSA POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU REMEMBER?

MY MEMORY IS PRETTY FUZZY.

I -- I DRANK SOME SHOTS.

Murphy: SHE'D MET A GENTLEMAN
ONLINE NAMED COREY DAVIS.

BUT COREY DAVIS
DID NOT SHOW UP.

AND THE NEXT THING
SHE REMEMBERED

WAS WAKING UP
THE FOLLOWING MORNING

ON THE COUCH IN THE APARTMENT.

AND SHE FELT SOMETHING
HAD HAPPENED TO HER SEXUALLY.

AND SHE WAS ASSAULTED.

Narrator: THE VICTIM'S INABILITY
TO REMEMBER WHAT HAD HAPPENED

AND WHO HAD ASSAULTED HER
IS A HUGE CHALLENGE.

SO WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU
TO TAKE A TEST, OKAY?

IT'S A SEXUAL
ASSAULT EXAMINATION.

Murphy: WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
IN A SEXUAL ASSAULT EXAM

ARE THINGS LIKE DNA
AND ACTUAL INJURIES,

BLOOD OR SEMINAL FLUID.

ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP US LINK
THE VICTIM BACK TO THE SUSPECT.

Narrator: BUT THE VICTIM
REPORTED THE ASSAULT

2 DAYS AFTER IT HAD HAPPENED,

TOO LATE TO FIND
ANY EVIDENCE OF RAPE.

OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS,
TWO OTHER WOMEN COME FORWARD.

THEY ALSO WENT TO MEET
COREY DAVIS AT HIS APARTMENT.

Proehl-Day: EACH WOMAN TALKED
ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING.

WHEN THEY ARRIVED,
COREY DAVIS WAS NEVER THERE.

BUT HIS ROOMMATE, ASHLEY PULLEN,
WAS THERE, USUALLY

WITH HIS 5-YEAR-OLD SON.

THEY WOULD CONSUME ALCOHOL,
UM, WITH ASHLEY PULLEN.

IT WAS USUALLY TWO SHOTS.

AND THEN AFTER
THE SECOND SHOT,

THEY COULDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.

NOW, THEY HAVE THIS FEELING
THAT THEY'VE HAD SEX.

BUT THEY CAN'T RECALL IT.

Narrator: ALL THE VICTIMS
COME FORWARD TOO LATE

FOR A RAPE TEST TO BE EFFECTIVE.

YOU HAVE THREE FEMALES
WHO COME FORWARD,

WHO ARE ARTICULATING
THAT THEY BELIEVE

THAT THEY WERE RAPED.

UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN THOUGH
THE POLICE BELIEVE THEM,

THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
EVIDENCE TO GO ON THAT.

Narrator: TWO NAMES ARE
MENTIONED IN EVERY ACCOUNT --

COREY DAVIS AND ASHLEY PULLEN.

BUT NONE OF THE VICTIMS

CAN POSITIVELY IDENTIFY
WHO RAPED THEM.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL.

Narrator: FOUR WEEKS LATER,

POLICE GET THE BREAKTHROUGH

THEY'VE BEEN HOPING FOR.

Proehl-Day: THE FOURTH FEMALE
COMES FORWARD

AND IS ABLE TO PROVIDE
THE INFORMATION

TO THE OFFICERS
THAT THEY NEED AS IN --

THAT A SEXUAL ACT
ACTUALLY DID OCCUR.

SO TELL ME AGAIN.

YOU WOKE UP DURING
THE ACTUAL ASSAULT?

YES.
HE -- HE WAS --

HE WAS ON TOP OF ME.

I -- I KNOW IT WAS HIM.

YOU'RE SURE IT WAS ASHLEY.

I'M 100% SURE
IT WAS ASHLEY PULLEN.

YO, COME ON, GUYS.
I- I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

YO, THIS IS HARASSMENT!

Narrator: WHEN POLICE ARREST
ASHLEY PULLEN...

THEY CONDUCT A SERIES
OF BACKGROUND CHECKS.

ASHLEY PULLEN DID HAVE HISTORY.

HE WAS DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED

FROM THE MILITARY
IN THE EARLY 2000S

FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT

ON ANOTHER FEMALE
MILITARY MEMBER.

Narrator: BUT WHEN INVESTIGATORS
QUESTION ASHLEY,

THEY SOON DISCOVER
HE IS UNUSUALLY DEVIOUS.

JUST ANSWER
THE QUESTION, PLEASE.

I AM ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS.

Murphy: HE WAS VERY EVASIVE,
VERY MANIPULATIVE.

AND HE WOULD WANT

JUST LITTLE SNIPPETS
OF INFORMATION PRIOR

TO ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS.

HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I KNEW
AS AN INVESTIGATOR

AND HOW MUCH
INFORMATION I HAD.

YOU SEARCHED
MY APARTMENT, RIGHT?

WHAT DID YOU FIND?
YOU TELL ME.

YOU'RE THE DETECTIVE.

YOU EVER SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED A WOMAN?

NEVER. YOU KNOW,
I HAD ONE COME OVER.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD A DRINKS.

SHE GOT A LITTLE TIPSY.

AND, YEAH, WE HAD SEX.
BUT SHE WANTED IT.

IT WAS CONSENSUAL.

Murphy: I QUESTIONED MR. PULLEN
ABOUT SEVERAL VICTIMS.

AND HE WOULD ONLY ADMIT TO --

TO HAVING A CONSENSUAL
SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP

WITH ONE OF THOSE VICTIMS.

Narrator: NONE OF THE VICTIMS CAN
RECALL WHAT HAPPENED IN DETAIL.

AND DNA TESTS FAIL TO LINK

ANY OF THEM TO ASHLEY PULLEN.

FRUSTRATED, THE POLICE
TURN TO SOCIAL MEDIA

TO TRY AND FIND OTHER VICTIMS.

Murphy: WE WANTED TO SEE
IF THERE WERE OTHER WOMEN

THAT COULD COME FORWARD
WITH THAT SAME STORY.

AND WE WANTED TO FIND OUT
HOW MANY ACTUAL VICTIMS

WERE OUT THERE.

Narrator: LORIANNA PARKER HAS
HEARD NOTHING FROM COREY DAVIS

AND ASHLEY PULLEN FOR 3 DAYS.

THEN SHE LEARNS OF THE ARREST.

Parker: IT MADE SENSE.

IT WAS ASHLEY.

I WAS RAPED BY ASHLEY PULLEN.

I FELT EMOTIONALLY SICK.

I WAS DISGUSTED.

HOW DID A DAD DO THIS TO ME?

Narrator: LORIANNA PARKER HAS
DISCOVERED THAT

ASHLEY PULLEN HAS BEEN ARRESTED
FOR SERIAL RAPE.

I THOUGHT, "HOW COULD
THIS HAVE HAPPENED TO ME?

HOW DID I BECOME A VICTIM?

HOW DID I -- HOW DID I GET
INTO THIS POSITION?"

I WAS DISGUSTED.
AND I WAS HURT.

Narrator: LORIANNA REALIZES
SHE HAS INFORMATION

THAT COULD BE VITAL
TO THE POLICE INVESTIGATION,

INCLUDING A HISTORY OF MESSAGES

FROM ASHLEY PULLEN
AND COREY DAVIS.

I HAVE SOME INFORMATION
ON ASHLEY PULLEN.

Parker: ONE OF THE DETECTIVES
CAME TO MY OFFICE

AND COPIED THE MESSAGES
OFF OF MY PHONE

AND SAT DOWN WITH ME
IN ONE OF THE EXAM ROOMS,

SO I COULD TELL HER
WHAT I KNEW.

AND THEN ALL I REMEMBER
IS I WOKE UP.

AND HE WAS ON TOP OF ME.

I SAW HIM. I -- IT --
IT WAS ASHLEY PULLEN.

HE RAPED ME.

Narrator:
LORIANNA RECOUNTS AS MUCH

AS SHE CAN ABOUT
THE NIGHT OF THE ASSAULT.

- WOULD YOU LIKE A SHOT?
- YOU KNOW WHAT?

YEAH.
I'LL TAKE A DRINK.

Narrator:
SHE IS THE SECOND WOMAN

TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY
ASHLEY PULLEN.

- YOU DON'T MIND VODKA?
- NO.

Narrator: BUT SHE'S STILL
CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

I WAS TWO SHOTS.
AND I'M TIRED?

- CHEERS.
- IT JUST DID NOT MAKE SENSE.

Proehl-Day:
EVERY VICTIM WHO CAME FORWARD

REMEMBERS THE SECOND SHOT
VERY CLEARLY.

THEY BECOME WOOZY.

THEIR HEAD STARTS TO SPIN.

AND THEN THEY
COMPLETELY BLACK OUT.

OBVIOUSLY, SINCE EVERYONE
REPORTS TWO SHOTS,

SOMETHING IS GOING ON
WITH THAT SECOND SHOT.

Narrator: INVESTIGATORS
TURN THEIR ATTENTION

TO THE DRINKS ASHLEY PULLEN
SERVED HIS VICTIMS.

THEY SEARCH HIS APARTMENT.

Proehl-Day:
CERTAIN ITEMS SEEMED UNUSUAL.

THERE WAS
A NAIL POLISH BOTTLE.

THERE WAS A BOTTLE
OF BUBBLES THAT CHILDREN USE.

AND THERE WAS A BABY BOTTLE
IN THERE AS WELL.

THINGS THAT N-- NORMAL PEOPLE
DON'T KEEP IN THEIR KITCHEN.

Narrator: FORENSIC TESTS ON
SEVERAL BOTTLES

REVEAL THE PRESENCE
OF A DRUG CALLED GHB.

GHB CAN BE USED
TO TREAT SLEEP DISORDER.

BUT IT ALSO HAS
A DARKER PURPOSE.

Fu: IT CAN BE MADE WITH
COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PRODUCTS

AND THEN MIXED
TOGETHER AT HOME.

IT'S USED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH ALCOHOL.

PEOPLE WILL SPIKE A DRINK.

AND SO VICTIMS INITIALLY
THINK THAT THEY'RE WE--

THE REASON THEY
LOST CONSCIOUSNESS IS

BECAUSE THEY OVERINDULGED.

Proehl-Day: IT IS CLEAR.
IT'S ODORLESS.

WITHIN 10 MINUTES,

YOU'RE GONNA START
TO FEEL THE EFFECTS.

AND ALL OF THE FEMALES
DESCRIBED THE SAME THING.

THEY'RE DIZZY.

THEY'RE UNEXPLAINABLY TIRED.

GHB METABOLIZES OUT
OF YOUR SYSTEM WITHIN 12 HOURS,

WHICH IS WHY IT MAKES IT
A FABULOUS DATE-RAPE DRUG

BECAUSE AT THE TIME YOU REALIZE
THAT YOU'VE BEEN RAPED,

IT'S OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM.

Narrator: AND GHB HAS ONE MORE
DEVASTATING EFFECT.

Fu: MOMENTS
AFTER IT'S INGESTED,

THE BRAIN CEASES
TO PROPERLY FORM MEMORY.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE INGESTED
IT DON'T REMEMBER.

IT'S IDENTICAL
TO A BLACKOUT IN THE SENSE

THAT IT JUST CAUSES
THE BRAIN TO SHUT DOWN.

Proehl-Day: THE DISCOVERY OF GHB
IN THE BOTTLES

FINALLY GAVE THE AUTHORITIES
THEIR ANSWER TO "WHY?

WHY ARE THESE FEMALES
NOT REMEMBERING?

WHY ARE THEY DIZZY?

WHY DO THEY HAVE HALF MEMORIES
AT BEST AFTER ONLY TWO SHOTS?"

Narrator: THE POLICE HAVE
ENOUGH EVIDENCE

TO CHARGE ASHLEY PULLEN
WITH RAPE.

BUT ONE MYSTERY REMAINS.

Fu: THE BIG QUESTION FOR US IS,
"WHO IS COREY DAVIS?

WHAT ROLE DOES HE HAVE
IN ALL OF THIS?

IS HE A PERPETRATOR?

OR IS HE ACTUALLY A VICTIM
OF ASHLEY PULLEN'S AS WELL?"

WHO IS THIS GUY?

HE'S GOT 600 FRIENDS
ON FACEBOOK.

WE CAN'T FIND A STITCH
OF INFORMATION ON HIM.

Narrator:
ONE OF ASHLEY PULLEN'S VICTIMS

DOES SOME DETECTIVE
WORK OF HER OWN.

AND SHE MAKES A DISCOVERY

THAT WILL REVEAL
A SHOCKING TRUTH.

Proehl-Day: I DIDN'T THINK EVIL
WAS A REAL THING.

BUT HE SHOWED ABSOLUTELY
NO REMORSE AT ALL.

Narrator: THIRTY-YEAR-OLD
ASHLEY PULLEN

HAS BEEN CHARGED
WITH SERIAL RAPE.

BUT ONE MYSTERY REMAINS.

WHO IS HIS ROOMMATE,
COREY DAVIS?

Fu: GOING BACK THROUGH
OUR EVIDENCE,

WE REALIZED NO ONE HAD

PHYSICALLY LAID EYES
ON A COREY DAVIS.

NO ONE HAD -- HAD AN INTERACTION
THAT THEY, THEMSELVES,

REMEMBERED WITH COREY DAVIS.

Narrator:
ONE OF ASHLEY PULLEN'S VICTIMS

IS DOING HER OWN INVESTIGATION.

Fu: SHE'S SUSPICIOUS.
AND SHE'S TALKING TO PEOPLE

WHO SHE KNOWS HAVE
FRIENDED HIM ON FACEBOOK.

SHE LOOKS AT
COREY DAVIS' PROFILE.

SHE SEES A PHOTOGRAPH
WITH A WATERMARK ON THE BOTTOM.

SHE MANAGES TO LINK
THAT WATERMARK

BACK TO A STUDIO
IN CALIFORNIA.

AND SUDDENLY,
THE LIGHTBULB GOES OFF.

AND SHE RECOGNIZES,
"WAIT A MINUTE.

MAYBE THERE NEVER WAS A COREY."

- GUYS.
- AND WHEN DETECTIVES CAN FIND

NO TRACE OF COREY DAVIS...

THEY REACH AN EXTRAORDINARY
CONCLUSION.

THIS GUY ISN'T REAL.

THIS GUY IS A FABRICATION.

THIS GUY IS A PIECE OF FICTION
INVENTED BY ASHLEY.

Proehl-Day: ASHLEY PULLEN
CREATED A FAKE PROFILE

BECAUSE THAT IS
HOW HE GOT WOMEN.

BUT IT WASN'T JUST
THE FAKE PROFILE.

HE CREATED A PERSON --
LIKE, A LIFE.

HE MADE UP HOBBIES,

ACTIVITIES,
LIKES,

DISLIKES.

HE CREATED THIS
ENTIRE PERSON.

AND THEN HE STARTED FRIEND

REQUESTING FEMALES
AS COREY DAVIS.

HE WAS A NICE GUY.

YOU LIKED HIM.
HE WAS FLATTERING.

BOY, WAS HE FLATTERING.
AND IT MADE YOU FEEL GOOD.

YOU HAVE THIS GOOD
LOOKING GUY

WHO'S TELLING YOU
THESE THINGS.

AND YOU FEEL LIKE
THERE'S SOMETHING MORE THAN

JUST THIS STRANGER
ON FACEBOOK.

Narrator:
WHEN LORIANNA PARKER DISCOVERS

COREY DAVIS DOESN'T EXIST,

SHE IS HEARTBROKEN.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BELIEVE
THAT I HAD

TALKED TO ASHLEY
THE WHOLE TIME.

I DIDN'T WANT TO BELIEVE
ASHLEY WAS COREY.

AND I WAS BEING
FOOLED THE ENTIRE TIME.

AND THAT HURT.

Narrator: ASHLEY PULLEN WAS
A RUTHLESS MANIPULATOR.

HE KEPT COREY DAVIS ALIVE

IN THE MINDS OF HIS VICTIMS
USING FACEBOOK AND A PHONE.

[ PHONE RINGS ]

WHEN THEY WOULD CALL,
THEY WOULD GET A TEXT BACK

THAT SAID "SORRY.
MY PHONE'S BROKEN.

I CAN TEXT BUT I CAN'T TALK."

AND IT TURNS OUT
HE'S TELLING THEM

THAT THE PHONE
DOESN'T WORK IN ORDER

TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T REALIZE
THAT COREY DOESN'T EXIST.

Narrator: ONCE ASHLEY REELED
IN HIS VICTIMS,

HE HAD A FAILSAFE STRATEGY
TO GET THEM INSIDE.

- DANIEL.
- DANIEL, NICE TO MEET YOU!

NO ONE IS EVER,

EVER GOING TO BELIEVE
THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE RAPED

WITH A 5-YEAR-OLD
IN AN APARTMENT.

- HE'S FAST!
- YEAH.

EVERYONE LOOKED AT HIM
AS A GOOD PERSON.

HE'S THIS WONDERFUL DAD.

SO HE WOULDN'T HURT ANYBODY.

Narrator:
ASHLEY TOLD HIS VICTIMS

THAT DANIEL'S MOTHER
HAD DUMPED HIM,

THAT SHE WANTED NOTHING
TO DO WITH HIM.

AND THAT WAS AS FAR
AS FROM THE TRUTH

AS COREY DAVIS WAS.

HE HAD ACTUALLY
KIDNAPPED THE BOY

FROM HIS MOTHER
THREE YEARS PRIOR

TO HIS STRING
OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS.

Narrator: WHEN THE POLICE TOOK
ASHLEY INTO CUSTODY,

HE HAD AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT
FOR HIS ARREST FROM KIDNAPPING.

YOU HAVE A PERSON
WHO IS WILLING TO USE

HIS OWN CHILD

TO FURTHER
HIS DISGUSTING DECEIT.

AND THAT'S HOW
I KNOW HE'S EVIL.

Narrator: ON FEBRUARY 5, 2015,
ASHLEY PULLEN

IS CONVICTED
OF FIRST-DEGREE RAPE

BY NARCOTIC AGENT.

HE IS SENTENCED
TO LIFE IN PRISON.

ALTHOUGH WE'LL NEVER REALLY KNOW
HOW MANY VICTIMS HE HAD,

WHAT IS PRETTY CLEAR
FROM OUR EVIDENCE

IS HE IS A PREDATOR
OF THE FIRST ORDER.

HE IS A THREAT.

Narrator: PULLEN WILL NOT BE
ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE UNTIL 2060,

WHEN HE WILL BE
77 YEARS OLD.

LORIANNA PARKER IS STARTING

TO REBUILD HER LIFE
AFTER THE ASSAULT.

SHE'S FOUND THE STRENGTH
TO MOVE ON

AND PUT THE ORDEAL BEHIND HER.

Parker: TODAY, I KNOW
I'M NOT SCARED THAT

I'M GONNA GET FOOLED AGAIN.

THIS TRAGEDY HAS MADE ME
FEEL STRONGER.

IT'S MADE ME FEEL
LIKE A BIGGER PERSON.

AND IT'S MADE ME
KIND OF KNOW WHO I AM.
