Wicked Attraction (2008–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Evil in the Desert - full transcript

ON THE AFTERNOON
OF APRIL 3, 1985...

...POLICE IN BEDFORD COUNTY,
VIRGINIA,

RECEIVE A FRANTIC CALL.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL GET A DEPUTY
OUT THERE, OKAY?

A WOMAN REPORTS SHE FOUND HER
FRIENDS, DEREK AND NANCY HAYSOM,

DEAD.

I HAD BEEN WORKING
SOME BURGLARIES

WHEN I HEARD THE TRAFFIC
ON THE RADIO.

THEY HAD ASKED THE INVESTIGATORS
TO RESPOND TO HOLCOMB ROCK ROAD,

AT WHICH TIME I STILL
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE HAD.

WHEN I FIRST WALKED IN,



I-I WASN'T NECESSARILY PREPARED
FOR WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SEE.

MR. HAYSOM WAS LAYING ON HIS
BACK, INSIDE THE FRONT DOOR.

THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF
DRIED BLOOD SURROUNDED HIS BODY.

HAD A LOT OF DAMAGE
TO HIS THROAT.

WALKED INTO THE KITCHEN,

AND NANCY WAS LAYING ON THE
FLOOR THERE IN A POOL OF BLOOD.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT.

IT WAS JUST DEVASTATING TO GO IN
AND SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AT THAT POINT, OF COURSE,

YOUR MIND STARTS JUST
GOING IN CIRCLES, YOU KNOW?

"WHAT IN THE WORLD
COULD HAVE HAPPENED HERE?"

THIS CRIME SCENE WAS...
WAS SHOCKING.

INVESTIGATORS DETERMINED

THAT 72-YEAR-OLD DEREK HAYSOM
AND HIS WIFE, 53-YEAR-OLD NANCY,



DIED OF MULTIPLE STAB WOUNDS
AND HAD THEIR THROATS SLASHED.

BOTH OF THEM HAD SOME DEFENSIVE
WOUNDS ON THEIR HANDS.

HE IN PARTICULAR HAD WOUNDS
ON THE PALM OF HIS HAND,

WHERE HE, IN FACT, MUST
HAVE GRABBED THE KNIFE BLADE.

FROM THE TEXTURE
AND COLOR OF THE BLOOD,

THE VICTIMS APPEAR TO
HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

WE WERE ABLE, INITIALLY,

TO RULE OUT A BURGLARY AND/OR
ROBBERY OF THE HAYSOM'S HOUSE

BECAUSE WE DID FIND

HER POCKETBOOK
WITH MONEY INSIDE OF IT.

THERE WAS NO SIGN
OF FORCED ENTRY AT ALL

FROM THE WINDOWS, FRONT DOOR.

IN THE DINING ROOM,

POLICE NOTE THREE CHAIRS
PULLED OUT FROM THE TABLE,

BUT ONLY TWO PLACE SETTINGS.

IT SUGGESTS THE HAYSOMS
KNEW THEIR KILLER

AND INVITED HIM IN
AS THEY FINISHED DINNER.

THE MOTIVE
APPEARS TO BE PERSONAL.

TO ME, IT WAS JUST A...
JUST OVERKILL.

JUST A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF HATRED

THAT THE PERSON MUST HAVE FELT
TOWARDS THESE TWO PEOPLE.

IT WAS SO HORRIFIC,

IT LOOKED LIKE THE INSIDE
OF A SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

INVESTIGATORS FIND
THAT THE KILLER

TRIED TO DESTROY EVIDENCE.

THEY SMEARED THE BLOOD AROUND
AND WIPED AROUND THE BODIES

TO TRY AND HIDE THE FOOTPRINTS,
BUT THEY OVERLOOKED A FEW.

WE HAD A BLOODY FOOTPRINT.

SOMEONE HAD A SOCK ON,
HAD THEIR SHOES OFF.

BOTH VICTIMS WEAR SHOES.

SO THE FOOTPRINT
MUST BE THE KILLER'S.

THAT WAS PHOTOGRAPHED
MULTIPLE TIMES.

WE ALSO SAWED THE FLOOR UP
AND SUBMITTED THAT TO THE LAB.

POLICE ALSO FIND BLOOD
ON THE SCREEN-DOOR HANDLE

AND IN THE UPSTAIRS BATHROOM.

IT'S A DIFFERENT BLOOD TYPE
THAN THE VICTIMS',

SUGGESTING THE KILLER
LIKELY CUT HIMSELF.

INVESTIGATORS ATTEMPT TO LOCATE
THE MURDER WEAPON.

IT WAS OBVIOUS IT WAS A KNIFE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TYPE KNIFE.

WE WALKED ALL THE WAY
TO ROUTE 501,

LOOKING BESIDE DITCHES

FOR ANY WEAPONS OR ANYTHING
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THROWN

OUT OF THE SUSPECT VEHICLE.

WE DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING.

AFTER COMBING THROUGH
THE HOUSE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK,

TECHNICIANS CAN FIND NO CLUES
TO CONNECT TO THE KILLER.

INVESTIGATORS
INTERVIEW NEIGHBORS,

HOPING FOR A LEAD OR A MOTIVE.

NO ONE HAD SEEN
ANYTHING OR HEARD ANYTHING.

SO THAT DIDN'T HELP US.

INVESTIGATORS LEARN

THAT DEREK AND NANCY WERE
A WELL-LIKED, FRIENDLY COUPLE.

DEREK AND NANCY HAYSOM

WERE TWO VERY SOPHISTICATED,
WORLD-TRAVELED PEOPLE.

THEY HAD BEEN AROUND THE WORLD
QUITE A BIT.

THEY MET IN SOUTH AFRICA, AND
THEY LATER LIVED IN RHODESIA.

EACH HAD BEEN MARRIED PREVIOUSLY

AND HAD 5 CHILDREN BETWEEN THEM
WHEN THEY MET IN 1957.

THEY MARRIED IN 1960

AND HAD ANOTHER DAUGHTER,
ELIZABETH, IN 1964.

DEREK'S WORK
IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY

TOOK HIS FAMILY
ALL OVER THE WORLD.

DEREK AND NANCY
EVENTUALLY RETIRED

IN BEDFORD COUNTRY, VIRGINIA,
IN 1981,

WHEN ELIZABETH WAS 16 YEARS OLD.

NOW 20, ELIZABETH ATTENDS
THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

IN NEARBY CHARLOTTESVILLE.

ON APRIL 7th, SHE AND THE REST
OF THE HAYSOMS' CHILDREN

ATTEND THEIR PARENTS'
MEMORIAL SERVICE.

INVESTIGATORS QUESTION THEM
INDIVIDUALLY ABOUT THE MURDER.

FOUR OF THE HAYSOMS' CHILDREN
LIVE IN CANADA.

HOWARD, NANCY HAYSOM'S SON
FROM A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE,

LIVES IN TEXAS AND IS THE MOST
COOPERATIVE WITH AUTHORITIES.

HOWARD TELLS INVESTIGATORS THAT
HIS PARENTS WERE KIND PEOPLE,

AND HE CANNOT THINK OF ANYONE
WHO WOULD WANT TO DO THEM HARM.

LATER THAT DAY, THE HAYSOMS'
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, ELIZABETH,

ARRIVES FOR HER INTERVIEW.

SINCE SHE LIVES CLOSE BY,

REID AND GARDNER WANT TO
ESTABLISH HER WHEREABOUTS

THE WEEKEND
HER PARENTS WERE KILLED.

SHE TOLD US THEN
THAT SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND

HAD RENTED A CAR
IN CHARLOTTESVILLE

AND HAD DRIVEN TO WASHINGTON,
D.C., THAT WEEKEND

AND THEN RETURNED BACK
TO CHARLOTTESVILLE

ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

SHE ALSO TELLS POLICE

THAT THE LAST TIME
SHE SAW HER PARENTS

WAS A WEEK BEFORE THE MURDERS,
AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE.

SHE TOLD US THAT
SHE LOVED HER PARENTS VERY MUCH

AND THAT THEY HAD ALWAYS
TRIED TO DO THE BEST FOR HER,

WHICH INCLUDED SENDING HER

TO THE BEST SCHOOLS
AROUND THE WORLD

AND TO MAKE SURE
THAT SHE GOT A PROPER EDUCATION.

INVESTIGATORS
ASK ELIZABETH IF SHE KNOWS

ANYONE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN ANGRY
WITH HER PARENTS.

ELIZABETH STATED

THAT HER BROTHER JULIAN'S
FIANCéE WAS A POSSIBLE SUSPECT.

JANE WAS VERY UPSET
WITH DEREK AND NANCY HAYSOM

BECAUSE SHE FELT
THAT BECAUSE OF THEM,

HER AND JULIAN'S
RELATIONSHIP BROKE UP.

JANE LIVES IN LYNCHBURG,

ONLY A FEW MILES
FROM THE VICTIMS.

INVESTIGATORS BRING HER IN
FOR QUESTIONING.

JANE HAS AN ALIBI
FOR THAT WEEKEND,

BUT HER PAST RAISES RED FLAGS.

WE FOUND OUT THAT JANE
HAD SOME EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS.

SUPPOSEDLY,
SHE HAD GOTTEN INVOLVED

WITH A CULT GROUP IN RICHMOND.

SHE HAD SUPPOSEDLY
BEEN COMMITTED AT ONE TIME.

INVESTIGATORS
TAKE CRIME-SCENE PHOTOS

TO THE RICHMOND
POLICE DEPARTMENT'S CULT UNIT

FOR THEIR INPUT.

AND THEY GOT TO LOOKING
AT THE PICTURES

AND NOTICED SOME THINGS
AND BROUGHT IT TO OUR ATTENTION,

SUCH AS... DEREK HAD A "V"
CUT IN HIS CHIN.

THE TWO BODIES
WERE LAYING ON THE FLOOR

WITH THEIR HEAD FACING
IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION.

THE WIPING UP OF THE BLOOD...

THE WAY IT WAS WIPED
AROUND THE BODY

AND THE CONTOUR OF THE BODY,

ACCORDING TO THEM,
WAS A POSSIBLE CULT.

THEN WE STARTED SAYING,
"OKAY, MAYBE THEY'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE IT IS A CULT KILLING."

IF THE HAYSOM MURDERS
ARE THE WORK OF A RITUALISTIC CULT,

THERE IS NO TELLING
WHO COULD BE NEXT.

POLICE
IN BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA,

FEAR A SATANIC CULT MIGHT
BE BEHIND THE DOUBLE HOMICIDE

OF NANCY AND DEREK HAYSOM.

IF THE MURDERS
ARE A RITUALISTIC KILLING,

THEN EVERYONE IS IN DANGER.

THE COMMUNITY
WAS VERY CONCERNED

ABOUT THE CULT ACTIVITY.

EVERY TIME THEY LEFT THEIR HOUSE
OR THEY WAS OUT IN THEIR YARD,

THEY LOCKED THEIR DOORS.

THEY WERE TERRIFIED.

OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS,
THEY TRACK EVERY POSSIBLE LEAD,

BUT THEY CAN'T LINK
ANY CULT GROUP TO THE MURDERS.

INVESTIGATORS REINTERVIEW
THEIR KEY SUSPECT... JANE.

I HAD SEVERAL
CONVERSATIONS WITH HER.

SHE WAS THE TYPE PERSON THAT
WOULD BABBLE ON FOR A WHILE,

AND YOU'D GET
A LITTLE IRRITATED.

EVEN THOUGH
SHE HAD EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS,

SHE HAD SOME SMARTS ABOUT HER.

YOU JUST HAD TO TAKE TIME
TO LISTEN TO HER.

WHEN SHE REALIZES
SHE'S THE MAIN SUSPECT,

SHE OFFERS TO TAKE
A POLYGRAPH TEST.

HER THING WAS THAT SHE
DIDN'T WANT TO BE A SUSPECT

AND SHE WANTED TO PROVE
HER INNOCENCE.

AFTER PASSING THE POLYGRAPH,

JANE TELLS AUTHORITIES WHO
SHE THINKS KILLED THE HAYSOMS.

JANE FLAT SAID
THAT ELIZABETH DID IT.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE TOLD US.

SHE FELT LIKE ELIZABETH
WAS A VERY EVIL PERSON.

JANE SAYS DEREK HAYSOM DIDN'T
LIKE ELIZABETH'S NEW BOYFRIEND.

JANE TELLS US THAT THE NIGHT
OF THE MEMORIAL SERVICE

THAT SHE WAS IN THE KITCHEN
AND ELIZABETH HAD WALKED IN,

AND IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF THEM
IN THE KITCHEN.

AND OUT OF THE BLUE, ELIZABETH
LOOKS AT JANE AND SAYS,

"I'M THE DEVIL, AND YOU'RE
THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB."

SO, BASICALLY SAYING,
YOU KNOW,

"I DID IT,
BUT YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR IT."

INVESTIGATORS
FOLLOW UP ON JANE'S CLAIMS.

THEY CALL HOWARD HAYSOM
IN HOUSTON

AND ASK HIM ABOUT ELIZABETH.

HOWARD STATES THAT SINCE
THE MEMORIAL SERVICE,

HE HAS BECOME
INCREASINGLY CONVINCED

SHE WAS SOMEHOW INVOLVED.

THERE WAS A LOT
OF LITTLE THINGS HOWARD NOTICED,

AND THE BIGGEST THING WAS
THE FACT OF HAVING NO EMOTION.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST UNREAL.

THE NORMAL PERSON...
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY.

HOWARD ADDS
THAT HIS STEPFATHER DISAPPROVED

OF ELIZABETH'S NEW BOYFRIEND,
JENS SOERING.

AUTHORITIES
DECIDE TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK

AT ELIZABETH HAYSOM
AND JENS SOERING.

THE YOUNGEST HAYSOM SIBLING,

ELIZABETH SPENT MOST OF HER LIFE
LIVING ABROAD,

MOVING FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY

AS HER FATHER
RELOCATED FOR WORK.

SHE WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY WORLDLY,
VERY EDUCATED,

VERY ARTICULATE,
HAD THE EUROPEAN ACCENT.

SHE TOLD US ABOUT HER TRAVELS
AND HER PARENTS' TRAVELS

AND THE FACT

THAT SHE HAD ATTENDED
A BOARDING SCHOOL IN ENGLAND.

LIKE ELIZABETH,

JENS SOERING SPENT
MOST OF HIS LIFE OVERSEAS,

MOVING TO THE U.S.
WHEN HE WAS 11 YEARS OLD.

ELIZABETH AND JENS MEET
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

ELIZABETH IS 20, AND JENS IS 18.

THEY ARE BOTH FRESHMEN
AT THE UNIVERSITY,

AND THEY'RE BOTH VERY BRIGHT.

SO BOTH ARE THERE
ON SCHOLARSHIPS.

JENS IS A VERY IMMATURE
18-YEAR-OLD

WHO GREW UP
IN A SHELTERED ENVIRONMENT.

HE'S WHAT YOU WOULD CALL
TODAY A GEEK.

HE HAS VIRTUALLY NO PERSONALITY.
HE'S NOT ATTRACTIVE.

AND HE WEARS THICK,
HORN-RIMMED GLASSES.

JENS WAS A LONER.

HIS FATHER
WAS A GERMAN DIPLOMAT.

IN MY OPINION,
HE LOOKED AT ELIZABETH...

AS SOMEONE THAT HE COULD DEPEND
ON, AS FAR AS CARING FOR HIM.

JENS IS UNDENIABLY
ATTRACTED TO ELIZABETH,

WHO'S A VERY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG
WOMAN AND VERY SOPHISTICATED.

AND HE IS PUZZLED
BY HER INTEREST IN HIM.

BUT WHAT JENS DOESN'T KNOW

IS THAT ELIZABETH
IS AN EMOTIONAL POWDER KEG.

ELIZABETH WAS SUFFERING FROM
BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER.

THEY'RE VERY IMPULSIVE.
THEY HAVE POOR JUDGMENT.

THEIR EMOTIONS ARE VERY ERRATIC
AND UNPREDICTABLE

AND APT TO QUICK CHANGES
AND VERY INTENSE CHANGES,

PARTICULARLY AROUND FEELINGS
OF RAGE AND DESPERATION.

THE OVERALL PICTURE

OF HER RELATIONSHIP
WITH HER FAMILY

WAS ONE OF ALMOST
TOTAL EMOTIONAL CHAOS.

SHE HAD NO SENSE
OF POSITIVE EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT

TO EITHER PARENT.

HER BASIC RECOLLECTIONS
OF HER PARENTS

WERE GIVING HER ORDERS,
TELLING HER WHAT TO DO,

AND BASICALLY JUST EXERTING
ALMOST TOTAL CONTROL.

A PERSON WITH
BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER

OFTEN TRIES TO SEIZE CONTROL
IN OTHER WAYS.

THEY MAY ENGAGE

IN SELF-DESTRUCTIVE
OR SELF-DEFEATING BEHAVIOR,

WHETHER THAT'S GAMBLING
OR DRINKING OR ABUSING DRUGS

OR SOMETIMES SUICIDE ATTEMPTS
THAT MAY BE MANIPULATIVE

OR THEY MAY ACTUALLY
CUT ON THEMSELVES,

IN ORDER TO RELIEVE
THE FEELING OF TENSION

THAT'S INTERNAL TO THEM.

ELIZABETH'S ANIMOSITY
TOWARD HER PARENTS

STEMS FROM A STRONG SENSE
OF ABANDONMENT.

ELIZABETH HAS ALWAYS HAD A ROCKY
RELATIONSHIP WITH HER PARENTS,

EVER SINCE THEY SENT HER AWAY
TO BOARDING SCHOOL.

EVENTUALLY, THIS RELATIONSHIP
GREW MORE STRAINED

BECAUSE SHE FELT

THAT HER PARENTS
REALLY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HER.

THEY JUST WANTED TO
GET RID OF HER.

I THINK BY THE
TIME ELIZABETH GOT TO COLLEGE,

SHE WAS EXTREMELY RESENTFUL

AND EXTREMELY ANGRY
TOWARD HER PARENTS.

ELIZABETH REFUSES TO
LET HER PARENTS RULE HER LIFE.

ELIZABETH HAYSOM
IS VERY INTELLIGENT,

VERY DETERMINED,
VERY STRONG-WILLED,

AND SHE'S GONNA GET
WHAT SHE WANTS

NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES
TO GET IT.

SHE DOES THAT
BY EXPLOITING OTHERS.

THE BORDERLINE PERSONALITY
DISORDERED INDIVIDUAL,

ALMOST WITHOUT FAIL,

DEVELOPS A GREAT CAPACITY
TO BE MANIPULATIVE.

AND IN JENS SOERING,
ELIZABETH FINDS HER PUPPET.

ELIZABETH SEES SOMETHING IN JENS

THAT TELLS HER, "THIS IS THE GUY
WHO CAN GET ME WHAT I NEED."

JENS IS NOT EXPERIENCED
SEXUALLY.

HE'S PROBABLY
NEVER EVEN KISSED A GIRL.

JENS IS VERY ATTRACTED
TO ELIZABETH

BECAUSE OF THE SEXUALITY
THAT SHE EXUDES.

ELIZABETH IS MORE INTERESTED IN
JENS ON AN INTELLECTUAL BASIS.

BUT IF SHE HAS TO USE SEX
TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS, SHE WILL.

BY JANUARY 1985,

ELIZABETH AND JENS
ARE DATING SERIOUSLY.

THE COUPLE MESHED VERY WELL.

JENS WAS ENTIRELY, ABSOLUTELY
IN LOVE WITH ELIZABETH,

AND HE WOULD DO ANYTHING
SHE SAID.

WITH JENS ALL TO HERSELF,

ELIZABETH CONTINUES
THE MANIPULATION.

NOW INSEPARABLE, WHEN THEY
GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS,

THEY WRITE TO EACH OTHER
CONSTANTLY.

IN HER LETTERS, ELIZABETH TELLS
JENS ABOUT THE ABUSE SHE SUFFERS

AT THE HANDS OF HER PARENTS
AND HOW MUCH SHE HATES THEM.

JENS LEARNS TO HATE THEM, TOO.

JENS IS GUIDED BY SEX.

IN EFFECT, ELIZABETH SAID, "I'LL
GIVE YOU ALL THE SEX YOU WANT

IF YOU JUST DO
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO."

JENS WAS ENTIRELY SUBMISSIVE
TO ANYTHING SHE WANTED.

INVESTIGATORS IN
BEDFORD COUNTY NOW HAVE TO WONDER

IF JENS IS SO COMPLETELY
UNDER ELIZABETH'S SPELL

THAT HE WOULD EVEN HELP HER
COMMIT MURDER.

AUTHORITIES
IN BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA,

NOW SUSPECT ELIZABETH HAYSOM
AND HER BOYFRIEND, JENS SOERING,

ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER
OF ELIZABETH'S PARENTS.

WE LEARNED THROUGH
THE INVESTIGATION

THAT SHE HAD EXPERIMENTED
WITH SOME PRETTY HARD DRUGS...

HEROIN AND WHATNOT.

SHE WOULD LEAVE HOME ANYTIME.

ONE TIME, SHE LEFT
AND TOOK OFF TO GERMANY,

AND THE FAMILY DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE SHE WAS AT.

AND MR. AND MRS. HAYSOM
FINALLY GOT INTERPOL INVOLVED

AND BROUGHT HER BACK HOME.

FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALS

THAT ELIZABETH HAS NOT BEEN
ENTIRELY TRUTHFUL

WITH AUTHORITIES.

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

ELIZABETH WAS TELLING US
THAT SHE HAD A GREAT FAMILY LIFE

WITH HER PARENTS,
GREAT RELATIONSHIP.

BUT FROM TALKING
TO SOME OF HER FRIENDS,

WE WAS LEARNING DIFFERENT.

I'M TIRED
OF HEARING THIS.

SHE HATED HER PARENTS.

SO, WE WERE GETTING
TWO STORIES THERE.

ON THE SURFACE,
ELIZABETH SEEMS VERY SUSPICIOUS,

BUT INVESTIGATORS HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT LIES BENEATH.

VIOLENT THOUGHTS ARE COMMON

AMONG BORDERLINE PERSONALITY
DISORDERED INDIVIDUALS.

OFTENTIMES, THE VIOLENCE
IS TOWARDS THEMSELF...

...WANTING TO DESTROY OR INJURE
OR MAIM THEMSELVES.

IT WOULD BE ALMOST INEVITABLE
THAT SHE WOULD DEVELOP

SOME FORM OF MENTAL DYSFUNCTION

AND TURN HER ANGER
AND HER FRUSTRATION

TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS.

ELIZABETH IS
BRILLIANT, ANGRY, AND DAMAGED,

BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE HER
A MURDERER.

DELVING DEEPER,

INVESTIGATORS REVIEW
ELIZABETH'S PRIOR STATEMENTS

AND TEST HER ALIBI...

THE WEEKEND TRIP SHE AND JENS
TOOK TO WASHINGTON, D.C.

WE CHECKED WITH THE
RENTAL-CAR BUSINESS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE

AND WAS ABLE TO GET
THE ACTUAL RENTAL-CAR AGREEMENT.

RIGHT OFF THE TOP, WE COULD SEE

THAT THERE EXCESSIVE MILES
ON THAT RENTAL CAR THAT WEEKEND.

THEY PUT 429 EXTRA MILES
ON THE VEHICLE GOING TO D.C.

THE EXTRA MILEAGE

IS ROUGHLY A ROUND TRIP
FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.,

TO ELIZABETH'S PARENTS' HOUSE.

I BROUGHT THAT TO HER ATTENTION

THE SECOND TIME
THAT I SPOKE WITH ELIZABETH.

AND THAT'S WHEN SHE TOLD ME
THAT SHE AND HE HAD GOTTEN LOST.

YOU DON'T RIDE AROUND
FOR SIX AND EIGHT HOURS

LOST IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

AND NOT FIND YOUR WAY
TO YOUR DESTINATION.

IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.

I'M NO ROCKET SCIENTIST,

BUT I KNOW IF I'M LOST
FOR 15 TO 20 MINUTES,

I'M GONNA STOP AND ASK SOMEBODY,

YOU KNOW, HOW TO GET OUT OF
HERE, AND THEY DIDN'T DO THAT.

ELIZABETH FINALLY ADMITS
WHAT THE POLICE ALREADY KNOW...

THAT SHE HAD A ROCKY
RELATIONSHIP WITH HER PARENTS

AND THEY REJECTED HER BOYFRIEND.

MR. HAYSOM
MADE IT VERY PLAIN TO JENS

THAT HE DID NOT WANT
ELIZABETH SEEING HIM.

HE FLAT TOLD HIM
THAT ELIZABETH WAS JUST,

BASICALLY, BETTER THAN HE WAS,
TOO GOOD FOR HIM.

ELIZABETH VIEWED THE
REJECTION OF JENS BY HER PARENTS

AS ESSENTIALLY
YET ANOTHER REJECTION.

IT WAS JUST ADDING MORE FUEL
TO THIS EVER-MOUNTING FIRE

OF DISCONTENT, HOSTILITY,
AND ANGER THAT WAS BUILDING.

A FATHER'S DISAPPROVAL
OF HIS DAUGHTER'S BOYFRIEND

HARDLY SEEMS MOTIVE FOR MURDER.

BUT INVESTIGATORS
NEED TO BE SURE.

I HAD TO ASK HER IF SHE WOULD
GIVE US HER FINGERPRINTS,

HER BLOOD,
AND ANATOMICAL FOOTPRINTS...

SO THAT WE COULD ELIMINATE HER

AS A SUSPECT
IN HER PARENTS' DEATH...

WHICH SHE GAVE FREELY.

THE FOOTPRINTS
OF ELIZABETH CAME BACK.

THEY DIDN'T MATCH WHAT WE HAD.

ALL RIGHT.
APPRECIATE IT.

IT ELIMINATED HER.

IT DIDN'T PUT HER IN THE HOUSE
AT THE TIME OF THE HOMICIDES.

THAT LEAVES JENS SOERING.

POLICE BRING HIM IN
FOR QUESTIONING.

HIS DEMEANOR THAT DAY
WAS VERY ARROGANT.

HE WAS VERY COCKY.

HE GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION

THAT HE THOUGHT THAT HE
WAS SMARTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

IN FACT, HE TOLD US
THAT HE WAS APPALLED

THAT WE WERE
EVEN CONSIDERING HIM

OR EVEN NEEDED TO TALK TO HIM.

HE CERTAINLY
DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A PERSON

WHO COULD COMMIT DOUBLE HOMICIDE
AND BUTCHER TWO PEOPLE UP.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT A PERSON
LIKE THAT LOOKS LIKE.

WHEN JENS REFUSES
TO GIVE BLOOD OR PRINT SAMPLES,

INVESTIGATORS TURN
TO A CLASSIC PLOY.

RICKY AND I KIND OF PLAYED
THE GOOD GUY, THE BAD GUY.

WHILE I WAS PLAYING THE BAD COP

AND BASICALLY ACCUSING JENS
OF MURDERING THE HAYSOMS...

BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T
COOPERATE WITH US...

CHUCK KEPT
REASSURING HIM THAT...

HE SAID,
"I KNOW YOU DIDN'T DO IT.

"I KNOW YOU AREN'T CAPABLE
OF DOING THAT.

"JUST TO PROVE HIM WRONG,

"WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD
AND GIVE US YOUR FINGERPRINTS?

WHY DON'T YOU COOPERATE?"

AND THEN I WOULD SAY, "THE
REASON HE WON'T GIVE IT TO US

IS BECAUSE HE DID IT."

BUT JENS WON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

HE CALMLY CORROBORATES
ELIZABETH'S STORY

ABOUT GETTING LOST
TRAVELING TO WASHINGTON, D.C.

I SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW,
IN MY MIND,

"I'M 99% SURE
THAT YOU'RE NOT GUILTY OF THIS,

"BUT THAT 1% IS STILL THERE.

"AND IF YOU WILL SUBMIT
TO THE FOOTPRINTS

"AND THE FINGERPRINTS
AND THE BLOOD,

"THEN YOU CAN CLEAR UP
THAT 1% FOR ME

AND PROVE 100%
THAT YOU'RE NOT GUILTY."

JENS AGREES TO THINK ABOUT IT.

AFTER THE INTERVIEWS,

POLICE BEGIN TO GET A CLEARER
PICTURE OF ELIZABETH AND JENS.

THEY'RE MADLY IN LOVE
WITH EACH OTHER.

BUT ONCE YOU TALK TO THEM,
YOU SEE THAT ELIZABETH

IS THE MANIPULATOR
AND THE LEADER BETWEEN THE TWO.

THEN ON THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY,
I GOT A CALL FROM JENS.

AND JENS TOLD ME
THAT HE HAD THOUGHT ABOUT IT

AND HE HAD CONSENTED

AND HE WOULD MEET WITH ME
THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

THE NIGHT
BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT,

INVESTIGATORS RECEIVE
A FRANTIC CALL

FROM ELIZABETH'S BROTHER HOWARD.

OKAY, SEE YOU LATER.
BYE.

AND HE WAS SAYING,
"I TOLD YOU THEY DID IT.

"I TOLD YOU THEY DID IT.

THEY'VE GONE.
YOU'VE LET THEM GET AWAY."

ELIZABETH AND JENS
HAVE DISAPPEARED.

INVESTIGATORS
ON A DOUBLE HOMICIDE IN VIRGINIA

HIT A MAJOR ROADBLOCK WHEN THEIR
PRIME SUSPECTS GO ON THE RUN.

AS MUCH AS WE WANT THEM TO MAKE
A MOVE SOMEWAY OR ANOTHER

TO PROVE THE POINT TO US

THAT WE WAS ON THE RIGHT TRACK
AND THEY WERE GUILTY,

I WAS LIKE, "GOSH,
NOW WHAT DO WE DO?"

THEY SEARCH THE APARTMENT
FOR ANY CLUES TO THEIR WHEREABOUTS.

WHEN JENS AND ELIZABETH
DISAPPEARED,

THEY DID SO COMPLETELY.

THEIR FAMILY DID NOT KNOW
WHERE THEY WERE,

THE POLICE
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THEY WERE,

AND THEY JUST DISAPPEARED.

INVESTIGATORS SUSPECT
THEY FLED TO EUROPE,

SINCE THEY HAD BOTH
PREVIOUSLY LIVED THERE.

SO, WE HAD CONTACTED
SOME OF THE AIRPORTS.

AND ABOUT THREE DAYS LATER,

WE RECEIVED WORD
THAT HIS CAR HAD BEEN FOUND

AT THE AIRPORT IN NEWARK,
NEW JERSEY.

THE PAIR LEFT NO CLUES
IN THE CAR

AND NO MONEY
IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS.

THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM
IS ONLY CIRCUMSTANTIAL,

SO INTERPOL CAN'T ISSUE
AN INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT.

BUT VIRGINIA AUTHORITIES
URGE THEM TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT.

JUST HAVE TO BIDE OUR TIME

AND HOPE FOR THE BEST
AND WAIT TILL SOMETHING HAPPENS.

WE KNOW THEY LEFT FOR A REASON,
AND WE KNOW THEY'RE GUILTY.

BUT POLICE KNOW THEIR FUGITIVES

HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE
TRAVELING THE WORLD

AND ARE FLUENT
IN MANY LANGUAGES.

THEY COULD BE ANYWHERE.

ELIZABETH AND JENS
FIRST GO TO LONDON,

BUT THEY DON'T STAY THERE LONG.

I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY MOVE ON,
BUT THEY GO TO THAILAND.

THEY HAVE A LITTLE SCHEME GOING
INVOLVING TRAVELER'S CHECKS.

THEY GO INTO THE UNDERWORLD,
TO A CERTAIN EXTENT,

WHERE JENS AND ELIZABETH
HAVE FALSE I.D.s MADE.

AND THEN FOR SOME REASON, THEY
DECIDE TO GO BACK TO LONDON.

THE PAIR RESEARCH
THE ENGLISH BANKING SYSTEM.

AND, WITH FAKE CANADIAN I.D.s,
THEY OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT.

JENS AND ELIZABETH
MOVE TO CANTERBURY, ENGLAND,

WHERE THEY BLEND IN
AS CANADIAN EXCHANGE STUDENTS.

THEY DEVISE A SCHEME
TO GET MORE MONEY.

ELIZABETH AND JENS
DECIDE TO TARGET

A VERY PROMINENT
UPSCALE DEPARTMENT-STORE CHAIN

IN LONDON.

AND THE WAY THEY OPERATE THIS
IS THEY GO INTO A STORE

AND THEY BUY A NUMBER
OF HIGH-VALUE ITEMS

AND PAY FOR IT WITH A CHECK
THAT TURNS OUT TO BE HOT.

BEFORE THE CHECK CAN BOUNCE,
THEY TAKE THOSE ITEMS

AND GO TO ANOTHER BRANCH
OF THE SAME STORE

AND RETURN THEM FOR CASH.

THEIR PLAN WORKS FOR A WHILE.

BUT ON APRIL 30, 1986,

THEY ATTRACT THE ATTENTION
OF A STORE CLERK.

SALES RECEIPT?

SHE CALLS OVER
AN OFF-DUTY POLICEMAN

AND EXPRESSES HER SUSPICION
TO HIM,

AND HE FOLLOWS THEM AROUND

AND THEN DECIDES TO TAKE THEM
TO A POLICE STATION.

JENS AND ELIZABETH
ARE ANXIOUS TO DIVERT

THE DETECTIVES' ATTENTION
AWAY FROM THEM.

IN USING THEIR FALSE NAMES,
THEY CREATE THIS FALSE PERSONA

THAT ELIZABETH
IS THERE TO WRITE A BOOK

AND JENS IS GOING TO ENROLL
AS A STUDENT

AT THE UNIVERSITY IN BATH.

BUT THE POLICE
ARE NOT CONVINCED.

BELIEVING THEY MAY BE INVOLVED
IN OTHER CRIMES,

POLICE THREATEN TO GET A WARRANT
TO SEARCH THEIR FLAT,

UNTIL JENS GIVES IN
AND ALLOWS THEM TO ENTER.

SINCE THE U.K. HAS DIFFERENT
PRIVACY LAWS THAN THE U.S.,

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM.

THEY JUST GO
AND START DIGGING IN DRAWERS

AND PULLING OUT STUFF
FROM CLOSETS.

THEY FIND SEVERAL BAGS OF STORE
MERCHANDISE WITH RECEIPTS

AND A DESCRIPTION
OF WHAT THE TWO HAD WORN

DURING THE PURCHASES.

THEY UNCOVER A CACHE
OF FAKE I.D.s,

INCLUDING
THEIR TRUE IDENTIFICATION...

AND SOMETHING FAR MORE OMINOUS.

THEY START LOOKING THROUGH

THESE PAPERS THEY HAVE
COLLECTED, INCLUDING THE DIARY

AND THE LETTERS THEY HAVE
WRITTEN TO EACH OTHER,

AND THEY SEE MENTIONS
OF A MURDER.

BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
WHERE THE MURDER OCCURRED,

WHEN IT OCCURRED, OR HOW
THEY ARE CONNECTED TO THIS.

IN ONE LETTER,
ELIZABETH TELLS JENS

THEY COULD BE HAPPY
IF ONLY HER PARENTS WERE DEAD.

BORDERLINE
PERSONALITY DISORDERED INDIVIDUALS

ARE MORE PRONE
TO HARBOR RAGEFUL FANTASIES

TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE
WHO HAVE OFFENDED THEM.

THE POLICE HAVE ENOUGH
TO HOLD THE COUPLE ON CHECK FRAUD

WHILE THEY SORT OUT THE MYSTERY
OF THE LETTERS AND DIARIES.

FURTHER EXAMINATION
OF THE CORRESPONDENCE

POINTS THEM
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

THEY FOUND SOME LETTERS
IN THEIR BELONGINGS

REFERRING TO MYSELF
AND INVESTIGATOR GARDNER.

THEY, IN FACT, IN THE LETTERS,
WROTE THAT WE WERE LOCAL YOKELS

AND THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WE WERE DOING

AND THAT REID AND I
HAD PROBABLY GOTTEN FIRED.

ON MAY 30th,

SEVEN MONTHS AFTER JENS
AND ELIZABETH FLED THE COUNTRY,

INVESTIGATORS IN VIRGINIA

GET A SURPRISING CALL
FROM A BRITISH DETECTIVE

WHO SAYS THEY HAVE
JENS AND ELIZABETH IN CUSTODY.

OKAY.

AND HE SAID,
"WERE HER PARENTS MURDERED?"

AND I SAID, "YES, THEY WERE."

AND HE SAYS,

"I THINK WE HAVE THE MURDERERS
LOCKED UP IN OUR JAIL,

AND YOU MAY
NEED TO TALK TO THEM."

I THOUGHT SOMEBODY WAS PLAYING
A REAL BAD JOKE ON ME AT FIRST.

I'VE GOT THIS PERSON
CALLING ME ON THE PHONE

WHO I HAVE NO IDEA WHO IT IS.

AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THIS,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER
TO CRY OR SCREAM OR WHAT.

AFTER RECEIVING WORD

THAT FUGITIVES ELIZABETH HAYSOM
AND JENS SOERING

ARE IN A BRITISH JAIL...

...AUTHORITIES FROM VIRGINIA
IMMEDIATELY FLY TO ENGLAND.

AT FIRST, BOTH SUSPECTS DENY
ANY INVOLVEMENT IN THE MURDERS.

BUT AFTER THREE DAYS
OF QUESTIONING,

ON JUNE 8th,
JENS IS READY TO TALK.

HE SAID THAT HE WANTED
TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED...

THE TRUTH.

AND HE STARTED TELLING ME ABOUT
THEM RENTING THE RENTAL CAR

AND THAT THEY HAD PLANNED THIS
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME...

...AND THAT HE, IN FACT,
HAD DRIVEN BACK

ON THAT SATURDAY EVENING.

HE SAYS HE WANTED TO
TRY TO CONVINCE

MR. AND MRS. HAYSOM TO
ACCEPT HIM IN ELIZABETH'S LIFE.

BUT IF THEY TURNED HIM DOWN,

THEN HE WAS GONNA HAVE TO DO
WHAT HE HAD TO DO.

NO! NO!
NO, SHE DOESN'T!

AND THEN MR. HAYSOM WAS ADAMANT

THAT HE WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH
FOR THEIR DAUGHTER.

I TELL YOU, YOU'RE GETTING OUT
OF THIS HOUSE NOW!

HIS WORDS WERE, "I FREAKED OUT."

YOU ARE GOING
OUT OF THIS HOUSE.

I'M GONNA THROW YOU OUT.

STOP, STOP, STOP.

MY GOD! AAH!

AND HE...
CUT MR. HAYSOM'S THROAT.

AS JENS GIVES FURTHER
DETAILS ABOUT THE MURDERS,

AUTHORITIES INTERVIEW ELIZABETH.

SHE SAYS SHE KNEW NOTHING
OF THE MURDERS UNTIL AFTERWARDS.

BUT THE DIARY AND THE LETTERS
SUGGEST OTHERWISE.

WHEN PARTNERS
IN A CRIMINAL PAIRING ARE CAUGHT

AND THEY'RE NO LONGER SUBJECT
TO THE SPELL OF EACH OTHER

AND THE SHARED REALITY
THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE,

THEY WILL OFTEN TURN
ON EACH OTHER.

ON DECEMBER 30, 1986,
INVESTIGATORS CHARGE ELIZABETH

WITH BEING AN ACCESSORY
BEFORE THE FACT.

AND JENS IS CHARGED WITH
TWO COUNTS OF CAPITAL MURDER.

HIS CONVICTION
COULD MEAN THE DEATH PENALTY.

ONCE JENS REALIZES
THAT HE COULD BE EXECUTED,

HE'S NOT SO ANXIOUS
TO GET BACK TO THE STATES.

THE BRITISH ARE NOT SO ANXIOUS
TO RELEASE HIM, EITHER,

BECAUSE THEY'VE OUTLAWED
THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE U.K.

AND IN MOST OF EUROPE.

SO JENS TAKES HIS CASE
TO THE WORLD COURT,

AND HE FIGHTS QUITE A BATTLE.

AS PART OF HIS DEFENSE,

A COURT-APPOINTED PSYCHOLOGIST
EXAMINES ELIZABETH AND JENS.

THE EVALUATION DONE
ON MS. HAYSOM

INDICATED THAT SHE WAS
"A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR."

AND IT GOES HAND IN HAND
WITH THE MANIPULATIVENESS.

AND THE TARGET OF THIS
MANIPULATION IS JENS SOERING,

CAUGHT IN A FOLIE à DEUX,

MEANING
"A MADNESS SHARED BY TWO."

A FOLIE à DEUX
IS A DELUSIONAL SYSTEM

THAT WE USUALLY SEE
IN TWO OR MORE INDIVIDUALS

WHO ARE
IN CLOSE PHYSICAL PROXIMITY.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS IS
THE PERSON WITH THE DELUSIONS

BECOMES CONTAGIOUS TO THE PERSON
WHO IS NOT DELUSIONAL.

IT'S A DISEASE WHERE
TWO PEOPLE DEVELOP A PARTICULAR WAY

OF DOING THINGS OR SEEING THINGS
THAT IS UNIQUE TO THEM.

I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT
THIS IS A FOLIE à DEUX CASE.

THE SIMPLE EXPLANATION IS
THAT HE WAS A NAIVE YOUNG MAN,

AND THAT BECAUSE OF HIS LACK
OF CONFIDENCE AND HIS NEEDINESS,

THAT SHE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT
AND MANIPULATED HIM

INTO DOING THINGS
THAT HE OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT.

JENS...
INEXPERIENCED, INFATUATED...

WAS ILL-EQUIPPED TO PROTECT
HIMSELF FROM ELIZABETH.

PEOPLE MIGHT WONDER
WHY A PERSON AS BRIGHT AS JENS

WOULD NOT HAVE THE JUDGMENT TO
GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE SITUATION

OR BE ABLE TO SEE
THE KIND OF SITUATION

HE'S GETTING HIMSELF INTO
WITH MS. HAYSOM.

INTELLECTUAL INTELLIGENCE
AND EMOTIONAL

AND SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE
ARE SEPARATE ISSUES.

MS. HAYSOM'S
EASE OF MANIPULATION OF JENS

BEGS A QUESTION...
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?

AT THE END OF THE DAY,
SHE IS A MASTER MANIPULATOR.

ELIZABETH
DOES NOT FIGHT EXTRADITION

AND RETURNS TO THE UNITED STATES
ON MAY 8, 1987.

SHE AGREES TO SPEAK
WITH INVESTIGATORS AGAIN

BEFORE THE TRIAL.

SHE SAYS SHE THOUGHT THAT JENS

MIGHT KILL HER PARENTS
THAT NIGHT,

BUT SHE DIDN'T THINK
HE'D GO THROUGH WITH IT.

SHE SAID, "YES, IT WAS
MY IDEA TO MURDER MY PARENTS.

"BUT ULTIMATELY,

HE HAD A FOUR-HOUR DRIVE
TO CHANGE HIS MIND."

"AND HE DECIDED NOT TO DO THAT.

SO, ULTIMATELY, THE DECISION
TO KILL MY PARENTS WAS HIS."

WHY DID ELIZABETH
NOT WARN HER PARENTS

THAT JENS WAS EN ROUTE TO
THEIR HOME, ARMED WITH A KNIFE,

FULLY INTENDING TO KILL
THE BOTH OF THEM?

SHE SAYS THAT AFTER
SHE LEARNED OF THE MURDERS,

SHE STAYED WITH JENS
OUT OF LOYALTY AND OBLIGATION.

THE MURDERS, ON SOME LEVEL,

COULD HAVE BROUGHT THEM
CLOSER TOGETHER,

PSYCHOLOGICALLY SPEAKING,
EMOTIONALLY SPEAKING.

BEFORE THE MURDERS,

HER PARENTS ABSOLUTELY
RULED AND RAN HER LIFE,

AND JENS KILLED THEM FOR THAT.

AND THAT NIGHT,
WHEN HE GOT BACK,

HE ABSOLUTELY TOOK THEIR PLACE,

BECAUSE HE SAID, "I MURDERED
YOUR PARENTS FOR YOU.

YOU OWE ME NOW."

IN OCTOBER 1987,
ELIZABETH PLEADS GUILTY

TO TWO COUNTS OF ACCESSORY
BEFORE THE FACT...

...AND RECEIVES
A 90-YEAR SENTENCE

IN EXCHANGE FOR HER TESTIMONY
AGAINST JENS SOERING.

BUT IT TAKES THREE YEARS
OF LEGAL BATTLES

TO RETURN JENS TO THE U.S.
TO FACE TRIAL.

THEY EXTRADITE HIM, BUT THEY SAY
THAT HE CANNOT BE PUT TO DEATH.

SO HE'S SENT BACK UNDER THE...

UNDER THE PROVISION
THAT HE WILL NOT BE EXECUTED.

IN JUNE 1990,
JENS STANDS TRIAL IN VIRGINIA.

THE COURT ORDERS FOOTPRINT
AND BLOOD SAMPLES

TO COMPARE AGAINST THE EVIDENCE
FOUND AT THE HOUSE.

ELIZABETH EVENTUALLY
TESTIFIES AGAINST HIM.

WELL, SHE TESTIFIED AT HIS TRIAL

TO THE FACT THAT,
YEAH, SHE PLANTED THE SEED,

BUT, ULTIMATELY,
IT WAS UP TO JENS.

DURING THEIR TRIALS,
THEY TOLD

WILDLY CONFLICTING TALES
OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.

ELIZABETH SAID
SHE WAITED IN WASHINGTON,

WHILE JENS WENT BACK TO VIRGINIA
TO KILL HER PARENTS.

HE SAYS,
"NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

"I STAYED IN WASHINGTON.

"ELIZABETH WENT BACK
WITH SOME OF HER DRUG FRIENDS,

AND THEY KILLED THE HAYSOMS."

AFTER FOUR
YEARS OF INCARCERATION...

JENS CLAIMS
THAT HE INITIALLY TOOK

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MURDERS
IN ORDER TO PROTECT ELIZABETH.

BUT FORENSIC TESTING SHOWS
IT WAS JENS' BLOOD TYPE

IN THE HOUSE, HIS BLOODY
SOCKPRINT ON THE FLOOR.

ON JUNE 21, 1990,
JENS SOERING IS FOUND GUILTY

ON TWO COUNTS
OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.

HE IS SENTENCED
TO LIFE IN PRISON.

ELIZABETH SAID
JENS COMMITTED THE MURDERS.

WHEN JENS GOES TO TRIAL, HE SAYS
ELIZABETH COMMITTED THE MURDERS.

AND WE'LL PROBABLY
NEVER KNOW FOR SURE

EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
THAT NIGHT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

BOTH OF THEM
ARE SITTING IN PRISON,

TOTALLY WASTED THEIR LIVES.

VERY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE.
JUST A WASTE.
