Your Worst Nightmare (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Cooking with Fire - full transcript

CONYERS WAS ONE OF
THE FASTEST-GROWING

METROPOLITAN COUNTIES
IN THE ATLANTA

METRO AREA AT THE TIME.

IT WAS PRETTY MUCH KNOWN FOR
ITS BEDROOM COMMUNITIES,

SUBDIVISIONS
FOR PEOPLE THAT WOULD COMMUTE,

BUT STILL SOME RURAL AREAS,
IN THE COUNTY.

CATHY WHITEHEAD
WAS A YOUNG LADY.

SHE LIVED IN AN APARTMENT
COMPLEX IN - -

IN DOWNTOWN CONYERS.

SHE WAS A YOUNG MOTHER.
SHE HAD ME AT A YOUNG AGE.

AND SHE WAS MAKING ENDS
MEET THE BEST WAY SHE COULD.



LOVED LIFE A LOT

AND SHE WAS ALWAYS
A PRETTY HAPPY

AND OUTGOING PERSON.

YOU'RE HOME.

CATHY WAS DATING AND ENGAGED

TO A MAN BY THE NAME OF JOHN,

WHO WAS A POLICE OFFICER
IN PORTERDALE, GEORGIA.

DARLIN'.

YOU SPOIL ME.

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH.
STOP.

JOHN AND CATHY INITIALLY MET

WHEN CATHY HAD REPORTED
A VEHICLE STOLEN.

JOHN WAS THE RESPONDING
POLICE OFFICER.

IT WAS, LIKE,
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.



SHE WAS REALLY INTO JOHN.

MOST OF THE TIME,
WHEN THEY WERE TOGETHER,

I WASN'T ALWAYS AROUND.

SHE WAS DEFINITELY
HAPPY WITH JOHN.

CATHY, I HAVE SOME NEWS.

WHAT IS IT?

HAZEL SIGNED THE PAPERS.

THIS DIVORCE IS GONNA BE
FINALIZED BEFORE TOO LONG.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME.

UNH-UNH.

HONEY,
THAT'S GREAT NEWS.

JOHN HAD BEEN MARRIED
FOR, I THINK,

SOMETHING LIKE 23, 24 YEARS.

AND, THEY HAD SOME CHILDREN.

AND JOHN

DECIDED THAT HE WAS
GONNA DIVORCE HER.

WELL, SIT DOWN.

I MADE A GREAT
DINNER FOR YOU.

YEAH?
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

CHICKEN, CARROTS, CELERY.

CAN I HELP?

NO, JUST ENJOY.

AND BREAD,
BUT ONLY TWO PIECES.

I DON'T THINK CATHY REALLY KNEW
THAT SHE WAS BEING STALKED.

THE FOLLOWING DAY,

CATHY ARRIVES FOR WORK
AT HER USUAL TIME.

CATHY WAS WORKING AS A, COOK
IN ONE OF THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS.

DARN IT, JAMES.
AGAIN?

YOU'VE GOT TO
BE KIDDING ME.

CATHY WAS NOT HAPPY
ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR

COOK'S POOR PERFORMANCE.

CATHY AND THIS COWORKER HAD
HAD SOME ALTERCATION AT THE - -

AT THE RESTAURANT
THAT THEY WORKED AT.

JAMES, YOU ARE
20 MINUTES LATE.

AND NONE OF THE PREP WORK
WAS DONE LAST NIGHT AGAIN.

COME ON, CATHY.
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

WE AIN'T EVEN GOT
NO CUSTOMERS YET.

AND YOU KNOW WE AIN'T BUSY
ON SUNDAY MORNINGS.

HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKIN'?

NOT SINCE LAST NIGHT.

DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO GO HOME
AND GET CLEANED UP,

SO I HAD TO COME HERE
STRAIGHT FROM THE PARTY.

GIRL, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GONNA HAVE TO
TALK TO THE OWNERS.

YOU BEST START LOOKING
FOR ANOTHER JOB.

WHAT?
THE HELL YOU ARE.

I NEED THIS GIG.

YOU DON'T DESERVE
THIS JOB.

YOU GET ME GONE, CATHY,
I SWEAR YOU'RE GONNA REGRET IT.

CATHY PROVIDED TO THE OWNERS
OF THE RESTAURANT INFORMATION

THAT GOT THAT COOK FIRED.

THAT DECEMBER,
CATHY IS AT HOME

WHEN SHE RECEIVES
AN UNEXPECTED LETTER.

SOMEBODY HAD ACTUALLY
WRITTEN LETTERS TO BOTH HER

AND JOHN THREATENING THEM.

HELLO?

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT HAPPENED?

"YOU WILL DIE.

YOUR BOYFRIEND WILL DIE.

I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE."

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S FRANK.

HE KNOWS ABOUT US.

CATHY'S EX-HUSBAND

WAS NOT HAPPY
WITH THEIR DIVORCE.

HE HAD THREATENED
HER IN THE PAST.

SHE HAD ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT
WHERE HE HAD ASSAULTED HER.

LOOK.

YOU'RE OUT OF HIS
REACH RIGHT NOW.

AND THEY DIDN'T SUSPECT THAT IT
WAS AS BAD AS IT WAS.

JOHN HAD JUST KIND OF
PASSED HIM OFF AS NOTHING.

COME ON, LOOK AT ME.
YOU'RE WITH ME.

JOHN.

AND I WANT YOU
TO BE WITH ME FOREVER.

YES, YES, OF COURSE.

MONTHS LATER, CATHY
AND JOHN MOVE IN TOGETHER,

AND CATHY SAYS GOODBYE
TO HER SMALL APARTMENT.

HER MOM, LAVERNE,
HELPS WITH THE PACKING.

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE OUT OF THIS
TINY LITTLE APARTMENT.

I KNOW.
I KNOW IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT, HONEY?

YOU HAVE FOUND A REAL GOOD
ONE THIS TIME,

NOT LIKE THAT SON
OF A BITCH, FRANK WOOD.

- MOM.
- WELL, I HATE THAT MAN.

CATHY WHITEHEAD.

CATHY WHITEHEAD!

WE WERE ALL IN THE APARTMENT.

I WAS ASLEEP 'CAUSE I HAD
TO GO TO SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY.

AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS
A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

ARE YOU HOME?
IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

PLEASE, OPEN THE DOOR.

YES?

UM, I WAS DOWN
BY THE LAUNDROMAT.

AND, AND THERE
WAS A PHONE CALL

FROM A JOHN MOORE.

HE SAID IT
WAS AN EMERGENCY.

YOU NEED TO GET DOWN THERE,
LIKE, RIGHT NOW.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?
WHAT DID HE SAY?

JUST GO.
HE'S ON HOLD, RIGHT.

OKAY. OKAY, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

SHE DID NOT HAVE
A TELEPHONE IN THE APARTMENT

BECAUSE SHE WAS IN THE PROCESS
OF GETTING READY TO MOVE.

HER ONLY MEANS
OF COMMUNICATION BY TELEPHONE

WAS A PAY PHONE THAT WAS LOCATED

OUTSIDE OF THE APARTMENT
COMPLEX OFFICE BUILDING.

WHAT'S GOING ON, HONEY?

MOM, I'M JUST GONNA RUN DOWN
TO THE LAUNDROMAT, ALL RIGHT?

JOHN'S ON THE PHONE.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

OKAY.

SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE
MIGHT BE SOMETHING WRONG,

SO SHE WENT TO ANSWER THE - -

THE PHONE CALL FROM JOHN.

HELLO?
JOHN?

PLEASE, HANG UP
AND TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN.

SHE PICKED UP THE RECEIVER
THAT WAS DANGLING, UM,

AND THERE WAS NO ONE ON LINE.

IF YOU WISH TO MAKE
A CALL,

PLEASE HANG UP
AND TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN.

IT'S THE MORNING
AFTER 21-YEAR-OLD

CATHY WHITEHEAD STEPPED OUT
TO TAKE A PHONE CALL...

IF YOU WISH
TO MAKE A CALL,

PLEASE HANG UP
AND TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN.

...AND SHE HASN'T RETURNED.

HER MOTHER, LAVERNE,
AND BOYFRIEND, JOHN,

MEET WITH POLICE IN HOPES OF
FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

WHY DID SHE GO?

SHE SAID THAT SHE GOT
AN EMERGENCY CALL FROM JOHN.

HER MOTHER JUST BASICALLY

CONSIDERED THAT
CATHY HAD WENT OFF

TO MEET JOHN SOMEWHERE.

I DIDN'T CALL HER.

SO SHE KNEW SOMETHING WAS AMISS.

THE NEXT MORNING,
THE PAY PHONE WAS DANGLING.

AND SHE WAS NOWHERE AROUND.

MY GRANDMOTHER HAD
SENT ME ON TO SCHOOL.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

WHAT TIME WAS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW,
BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

SANDY FARMER WAS
THE INVESTIGATOR

ASSIGNED TO THE CASE.

WITH THE PHONE FOUND DANGLING,

ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT GOES THROUGH

YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS

IS SOMEBODY HAS
STAGED SOMETHING.

WE HAD TO DETERMINE FIRST

IF THIS WAS A KIDNAPPING

AND NOT JUST
A DOMESTIC SITUATION.

IS THERE ANY REASON
SHE MIGHT WANT TO RUN OFF?

NO.

NO, SHE WOULD NEVER LEAVE
WITHOUT TELLIN' ME.

ARE YOU SURE?

THERE'S NO REASON
SHE WOULD RUN OFF?

MAYBE ANY PROBLEMS
YOU TWO WERE HAVING?

SHE'S NOT GONNA RUN OFF.

WE WERE IN LOVE.
WE WERE GONNA BE MARRIED.

SHE HAVE ANY ENEMIES

OR ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYONE
FROM AROUND TOWN?

JUST THAT EX-HUSBAND
OF HERS, FRANK WOOD.

OKAY.
HE HURT MY BABY.

DO YOU HAVE
AN ADDRESS FOR HIM?

OR DO YOU KNOW
WHERE I CAN FIND HIM?

NO. YOU WANT TO FIND HIM?

THEN YOU GO DOWN
TO THAT BAR, THE DEPOT.

YOU'LL FIND HIM
DOWN THERE DRINKIN'.

ANOTHER ONE, GEORGE.

THANKS FOR TAKING ME
OUT TONIGHT, BABY.

YOU BET.

HOW WAS WORK?

LET'S NOT TALK
ABOUT WORK, OKAY.

RIGHT.

YOU SHOULD GO TO THE LAKE
WITH US THIS WEEKEND.

YEAH?
BOBBY WILL BE THERE.

I HAVE TO WORK.
I ALWAYS HAVE TO WORK WHEN - -

HOW YOU PRETTY LADIES
DOIN' TONIGHT?

FRANK,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DON'T BE LIKE THAT.

WHAT ARE YOUR NAMES?

FRANK.

FRANK,
YOU ARE HUMILIATING ME.

YOU ARE MY HUSBAND.

IF YOU'RE GONNA ACT LIKE THIS,
I'M GONNA WALK HOME.

DON'T YOU WALK HOME.
DON'T YOU DARE.

- YOU SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
- SETTLE DOWN.

GOD...

GO HOME, THEN.

I'LL DEAL WITH YOU LATER.

THANK YOU.

HE'D BEAT HER BAD
MOST NIGHTS...

WHETHER HE WAS DRUNK
OR SOBER.

HE WAS THE DEVIL.

HE HAD AN EXTENSIVE RECORD.

AND THEY HAD BEEN IN AN ABUSIVE,
RELATIONSHIP.

THE MOTHER'S FEELINGS
WERE THAT CATHY'S EX-HUSBAND

WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT

INDIVIDUAL TO LOOK AT BASED ON
HIS REPUTATION.

WHAT ABOUT YOU,
MR. MOORE?

CAN YOU THINK OF ANYONE WHO
WOULD WANT TO HURT YOUR FIANCéE?

YOU MIGHT AS WELL LOOK
AT HAZEL MOORE.

SHE'S MY CRAZY EX-WIFE.

IT'S THEN THAT JOHN
TELLS THE INVESTIGATOR

ABOUT AN INCIDENT
JUST A FEW MONTHS EARLIER

WHEN CATHY WAS ALONE
AT THE HOME THEY SHARED.

CATHY, I'M SO SORRY.
I DID NOT MEAN TO SCARE YOU.

FREDDY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M JUST,
LOOKING FOR MY DAD IS ALL.

YOUR DADDY'S WORKIN'
THE NIGHT SHIFT TONIGHT.

BUT, I MEAN, YOU'RE WELCOME
TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH

AND HAVE BREAKFAST WITH HIM
IN THE MORNING.

SURE, YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.
ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU, NEED SOME HELP?
YES, PLEASE.

OKAY.

GET AROUND THE BOTTOM.
SURE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, FREDDY.

YEAH, SURE.
OF COURSE.

FREDDY, ARE YOU IN THERE?

IT'S OKAY.

FREDDY, OPEN THE DOOR.

HAZEL HAD GONE OVER TO,

TO JOHN'S IN ORDER

TO MEET WITH HER SON.

HEY, MOM.

HEY, YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO PICK UP YOUR SISTER.

YEAH, I...
IS THAT HER?

MOM, HEY, HEY.

- IS THAT HER?
- MOM.

THE THOUGHT OF HER EX
DATING A YOUNGER LADY...

PLEASE, MOM.
...JUST OVERWHELMED THE EX-WIFE.

- HOW DARE YOU?
- COME ON, MOM.

HOW DARE YOU?!

MOM! MOM, COME ON.
THAT'S - - COME ON.

NO, NO, NO, NO.
SHH. COME ON, MOM.

SHE BLAMED CATHY
FOR HER DIVORCE,

HER MARRIAGE OF 21 YEARS
BEING, DESTROYED.

MOM, MOM, MOM, MOM.
M-MOM, LET'S GO.

- ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.
- SHE'S SO YOUNG.

CATHY NEVER FELT DANGER,

AFTER THE INCIDENT.

BUT JOHN WAS NOT HAPPY.

HAZEL, DAMN IT,
OPEN THE DOOR.

SO YOU DECIDED TO LEAVE ME
FOR SOME YOUNG WHORE?

LEAVE CATHY ALONE.

SHE'S INNOCENT OF THIS.

YOU CAN BE MAD
AT ME ALL YOU WANT.

BUT YOU LEAVE HER BE.

HAZEL WAS DOMINATING,
MANIPULATIVE.

HAZEL DID WHATEVER SHE COULD
TO GET WHAT HAZEL WANTED.

YOU ABANDONED YOUR HOME,
YOUR WIFE, AND YOUR KIDS.

WHAT KIND OF
A MAN ARE YOU?

WHAT KIND OF
A HOMEWRECKER IS SHE?

IT'S NOT HER.
IT'S YOU.

YOU CRAZY, EVIL WOMAN.

WHEN THIS DIVORCE
GETS FINALIZED,

I'M GONNA ASK
CATHY TO MARRY ME.

YOU GOT TO MOVE ON.

YOU BETTER NOT, JOHN.

SHE HAD A VICIOUS TEMPER.

SHE HATED CATHY.

ANY MAJOR CRIME IS LIKE
PEELING AN ONION,

SO YOU - - YOU START AT THE - -

THE OUTSIDE, THE PEOPLE

WHO WERE THE CLOSEST
TO CATHERINE WHITEHEAD,

THEN YOU WORK YOUR WAY
INTO THE CORE.

OKAY, NOT TO WORRY.

WE WILL LEAVE
NO STONE UNTURNED.

I'LL TALK TO EVERYONE.

WE'LL PUT OUT A BOLO

FOR ANYONE FITTING
YOUR FIANCéE'S DESCRIPTION.

WE'LL FIND HER.

BUT BY NOW,
CATHY IS MILES AWAY

AND AS MUCH IN THE DARK

AS ANYONE ABOUT WHERE
SHE'S HEADED NEXT.

MOST OF THE NIGHT,
CATHY WAS STUCK IN THE TRUNK.

IT'S HARD TO SAY

WHAT ACTUALLY GOES
THROUGH SOMEBODY'S MIND

WHEN THEY'RE IN
A SITUATION LIKE THAT.

IN ONE WAY, THE MIND
IS LOOKING FOR AN ESCAPISM.

AND IN ANOTHER WAY, THE MIND
IS DEALING WITH REALISM.

SO IT MIGHT BEND BACK
AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH.

BUT BASICALLY, SHE - -
SHE HAD BEEN TORMENTED.

THREW HER IN THE TRUNK.

AS THE ORDEAL UNFOLDED
FOR CATHY,

SHE HAD TO CONSTANTLY BE
HOPING THAT, AT SOME POINT,

THEY WERE GONNA JUST LET HER GO.

YES?

UM, I WAS DOWN
BY THE LAUNDROMAT AND,

AND THERE WAS A PHONE CALL
FROM A JOHN MOORE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE
JUST GONNA ROUGH HER UP.

NO! AAH!

NO, PLEASE, STOP, PLEASE, STOP!
STOP IT, PLEASE!

AFTER SPENDING HOURS
INSIDE THE TRUNK

OF A CAR DRIVEN
BY TWO UNKNOWN ASSAILANTS,

21-YEAR-OLD CATHY WHITEHEAD

FINDS THE TORTURE
ONLY GETS WORSE.

NO! AAH!

STOP, PLEASE, STOP!
AAH! STOP, PLEASE!

THEY STABBED CATHY,

WITH A KNIFE A COUPLE OF TIMES.

SO SHE WAS IN A GREAT
DEAL OF AGONIZING PAIN.

LET ME GO.

THERE'S NO WAY
I CAN DESCRIBE

OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO DESCRIBE

WHAT SHE MIGHT'VE BEEN FEELING
OR THINKING AT THAT TIME.

AND THEY TOOK OFF
AND STARTED RIDING

ALL OVER CREATION AGAIN.

MEANWHILE, BACK IN
CONYERS, GEORGIA,

INVESTIGATOR SANDY FARMER
PAYS A VISIT

TO A POTENTIAL SUSPECT
IN CATHY'S DISAPPEARANCE.

CONYERS POLICE.
OPEN UP.

BOTH THE MOTHER AND THE FIANCé

HAD INDIVIDUALS IN MIND

THAT THEY WOULD SUSPECT
AS BEING,

SOMEONE THAT THE POLICE NEEDED

TO LOOK AT AS POSSIBLE SUSPECTS

IN THIS MATTER.

HAZEL MOORE?

HAZEL BECAME A PERSON
OF INTEREST,

BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT HER
EX-HUSBAND, JOHN,

WAS CATHERINE WHITEHEAD'S
FIANCé.

SANDY FARMER, CONYERS PD.

YOU MIND IF I COME IN?

WELL, WHAT YOU WANT?

CATHY WHITEHEAD.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR HER.

HAVE YOU SEEN HER?

WHO?
I DON'T KNOW A CATHY WHITEHEAD.

WE KNEW, BASED ON
THE PREVIOUS SITUATION

OF THE ASSAULT
WITH THE EX-WIFE,

THAT SHE WAS
LYING AT THAT TIME.

SO THEN YOU DIDN'T
HAVE AN ALTERCATION

WITH HER LAST CHRISTMAS?

YEAH, YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?

I WAS VERY UPSET.
I JUST SIGNED MY DIVORCE PAPERS,

AND I LOST MY HEAD
A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S THE ONLY TIME
I EVER SAW HER.

WHERE WERE YOU
LAST NIGHT, MRS. MOORE?

PLAYIN' POKER WITH MY DAUGHTER
AND HER FRIENDS.

YOU WANT TO ASK
MY DAUGHTER, TRACY,

OR ANY OF THE FINE FOLK
THAT WERE OVER THERE LAST NIGHT?

I'M SURE THEY'D BE
HAPPY TO HELP YA.

OKAY.

IF YOU THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE,
YOU CONTACT CONYERS PD.

HEY.

NOT THAT I CARE
MUCH FOR THAT GIRL,

BUT IF YOU THINK
SHE'S IN TROUBLE,

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CONTACT
HER EX-HUSBAND, FRANK WOOD.

HE IS A VERY BAD MAN.

IT'S NOT THE FIRST
TIME FRANK'S NAME

HAS COME UP IN THIS CASE.

BEFORE INVESTIGATOR FARMER CAN
TRACK DOWN CATHY'S EX,

HIS NAME COMES UP YET AGAIN.

HAVE A SEAT, MR. SIMMONS.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE
SOME INFORMATION

ON A MISSING PERSON,
MR. SIMMONS?

YES, MA'AM.
OKAY.

I WAS OUT DRINKIN' WITH
FRANK WOOD A FEW WEEKS BACK.

HE WAS PRETTY BENT
OUT OF SHAPE OVER

CATHY LEAVING HIM
FOR A COP.

HE HAD A FAT ENVELOPE
FULL OF 20s.

WHEN I ASKED HIM
WHAT THE MONEY WAS FOR,

HE JUST SAID SOMEONE
WAS TAKING CARE OF HER.

THERE WERE SOME MENTION

OF HIRING A HIT MAN FROM ALABAMA

TO TAKE CARE OF CATHY.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT CATHY,

BUT I JUST THOUGHT
YOU SHOULD KNOW.

ONCE YOU RECEIVE INFORMATION

THAT SOMEBODY
IS HAVING CONVERSATIONS

ABOUT HIRING A HIT MAN,

THAT TENDS TO GIVE YOU
PRIORITY ON THAT LEAD.

AND YOU ATTEMPT TO EXHAUST

EVERY POSSIBILITY
ALONG THOSE LINES.

THANK YOU.
YEAH.

AS INVESTIGATORS
INCREASE THEIR EFFORTS

TO TRACK DOWN FRANK,

CATHY'S CAPTORS CONTINUE
TO TAKE HER

DEEPER INTO
THE GEORGIA COUNTRYSIDE.

PLEASE...

NO ONE'S HOME.

WE'RE ALL ALONE HERE.

NO, NO.

NO.

NO! NO! NO.
NO, NO!

PLEASE, STOP!

IT HAD TO BECOME OBVIOUS

THAT SHE WAS NOT GONNA BE
TURNED LOOSE

OR RELEASED TO GO HOME.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO TO ME?

I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT.
JUST TELL ME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I THINK IT'S A LITTLE
TOO LATE FOR THAT.

NO, NO, NO, NO!

NO.

SHORTLY AFTER THAT,
THAT'S WHEN THESE OTHER TWO

INDIVIDUALS GOT A GALLON
OF GASOLINE.

GOD, WHY?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO ME?

STOP! STOP!
HELP!

HELP! HELP!

HELP! PLEASE, NO!

NO, NO, NO.

NO!

STOP!

TO BE TAKEN
FROM YOUR HOME

AND PUT IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR

AND BEATEN AND STABBED

AND THEN SET ON FIRE,

I BELIEVE, WOULD QUALIFY

AS ANYBODY'S VERSION
OF A NIGHTMARE.

I THINK IT WAS
PRETTY WELL CALCULATED

AND UNFORESEEN ON HER PART.

I TRIED ALL MY LIFE NOT TO - -

NOT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT SHE - -
WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH.

NO, NO, NO.

NO!

DETECTIVE FARMER.
CHIEF.

HOW'S THE,
WHITEHEAD CASE COMING ALONG?

I'VE TALKED TO EVERYONE.
YEAH.

WE HAVE NOTHING.

INVESTIGATOR FARMER WAS CHECKING
WITH ANY POSSIBLE MOTIVE

OF PREVIOUS EMPLOYERS,
COLLEAGUES THAT SHE WORKED WITH,

AND CAME ACROSS AN INDIVIDUAL
THAT CATHY WORKED WITH

AS A SHORT-ORDER COOK
AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GONNA HAVE TO TALK
TO THE OWNERS.

YOU BEST START LOOKING
FOR ANOTHER JOB.

YOU BEST NOT.
I NEED THIS GIG.

YOU DON'T DESERVE
THIS JOB.

THIS EMPLOYEE HAD INDICATED

HE WAS VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS

AND WAS GONNA,
GET CATHY FOR THAT.

YOU GET ME GONE, CATHY,
I SWEAR...

YOU'RE GONNA REGRET IT.

BUT WHEN
INVESTIGATOR FARMER

FOLLOWS UP WITH THE COOK,
HE HAS AN AIR-TIGHT ALIBI.

HIS WIFE SAYS
HE WAS HOME ALL NIGHT.

WE'VE GOT AN EX-HUSBAND
THAT'S MADE THREATS,

BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN
ABLE TO LOCATE HIM YET.

WE ALSO HAVE THE EX-WIFE OF THE
BOYFRIEND, WHO HAD MADE THREATS.

SHE WAS AT A PARTY
THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME.

HAD SEVERAL WITNESSES
THAT CAN ATTEST TO THAT.

DO YOU THINK THESE
ALIBIS ARE TRUE?

I CAN'T BE FOR CERTAIN.
BUT WE HAVE NO BODY,

NO WITNESSES, NO EVIDENCE.

WE'VE GOT NOTHING.

THE INITIAL INVESTIGATION BEGAN
TO SLOW DOWN

AS LEADS WERE FOLLOWED
AND NO EVIDENCE

WAS SUBSTANTIATED TO POINT

AT ANY ONE PARTICULAR
INDIVIDUAL.

WELL, WE GOT TO BRING
IN THE EX-HUSBAND THEN.

LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER,

POLICE FINALLY TRACK DOWN
HER EX-HUSBAND, FRANK WOOD,

SEVERAL MILES OUTSIDE
OF CONYERS, GEORGIA.

FRANK WOOD,
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

FOR ME?
WHAT FOR?

GET OUT OF THE CAR, MR. WOOD.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

LOOK, JUST DO WHAT I SAY.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU
TO OPEN THE TRUNK.

SLOWLY.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU
TO OPEN THE TRUNK.

SHORTLY AFTER THE DISAPPEARANCE

OF CATHY WHITEHEAD,

HER EX-HUSBAND,
FRANK WOOD,

IS PULLED OVER
BY POLICE.

SLOWLY.

WITH THE EX-HUSBAND'S
CRIMINAL HISTORY,

HE WAS WELL KNOWN
TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

SHORTLY AFTER
THE DISAPPEARANCE,

THE EX-HUSBAND WAS STOPPED,

BY A UNIFORMED
POLICE OFFICER.

I'M GONNA NEED TO
CHECK THAT INSIDE.

BUT INSIDE FRANK'S VEHICLE,

THE OFFICER FINDS
NEW REASON TO GIVE PAUSE.

THERE WAS A PILLOWCASE

THAT HAD CLOTHING
ITEMS STUFFED IN IT...

AND ALSO HAD WHAT APPEARED
TO BE BLOOD ON THE PILLOWCASE.

WHEN POLICE HAVE
THE BLOOD TESTED,

IT ONLY BRINGS A DEAD END.

THE BLOOD WAS DETERMINED
NOT TO BE, TRACEABLE.

SO WE SUSPECTED THAT IT WAS,
POSSIBLE ANIMAL BLOOD.

THEY QUESTIONED HIM.

AND THEY DID FIND OUT
THAT CATHY'S EX-HUSBAND

WAS THE ONE WHO HAD ACTUALLY
WRITTEN LETTERS.

THE, CONYERS
POLICE DEPARTMENT

NEVER COULD GET ANY GOOD,

SOLID INFORMATION OR GOOD,

SOLID EVIDENCE
THAT WOULD LINK HIM

TO CATHY'S DISAPPEARANCE.

AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS
WITHOUT ANY NEW LEADS,

INVESTIGATOR SANDY FARMER MEETS
WITH CATHY'S FAMILY.

THE WHOLE TIME
MY MOTHER WAS MISSING,

IT WAS A VERY CONFUSING TIME.

I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HER.

I WOULD ALWAYS LAY
IN BED AT NIGHT

AND JUST THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
TOMORROW I WAS GONNA WAKE UP,

AND SHE WAS GONNA BE THERE.

AND SHE JUST NEVER CAME BACK.

I'M SO VERY SORRY.

IT'S JUST THAT
WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE.

WE HAVE NO LEADS.

THE CASE HAS JUST
RUN ITS COURSE.

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN
THE CASE HAS RUN ITS COURSE?

THE CONYERS POLICE DEPARTMENT

WAS BASICALLY DEADLOCKED
RIGHT THERE.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING ELSE TO GO ON.

YOU CAN HAVE 5,000
PIECES OF INFORMATION,

BUT ONCE YOU GO THROUGH
ALL THAT INFORMATION,

AND IT LEADS YOU TO A - -

TO A BRICK WALL,
YOU CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER.

I HAVE TALKED TO EVERYONE
WHO HAD ANYTHING TO DO

WITH CATHY WHITEHEAD.

WE'VE FOUND NOTHING.
WE HAVE NOTHING.

IT'S POSSIBLE...

MAYBE SHE JUST RAN OFF.

WHETHER SHE RAN OFF SHOULD'VE
NEVER BEEN A QUESTION AT ALL.

SHE HAD RESPONSIBILITIES,

AND SHE JUST WOULD NEVER HAVE
JUST UP AND RAN OFF AND - -

AND LEFT HER
RESPONSIBILITIES BEHIND.

THAT JUST WASN'T HER CHARACTER.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

JOHN, JOHN!

CATHY'S FAMILY KNOWS
SHE DIDN'T JUST RUN OFF.

AND THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES.

ONE YEAR AFTER
CATHY'S DISAPPEARANCE,

THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
TO HER BECOMES TOO MUCH

FOR ONE MAN TO BEAR.

KIDNAPPED HER,
PUT HER IN THE TRUNK...

BEAT HER.

DONALD GLEN HAD IMBIBED
A LITTLE BIT AND,

DECIDED TO UNLOAD
SOME INFORMATION

WITH SOMEONE
HE WAS FRIENDS WITH

REGARDING THE DISAPPEARANCE
OF CATHY WHITEHEAD.

STABBED HER,

SET HER ON FIRE.

WHEN THE FIRE WENT OUT,
SHE WAS STILL ALIVE.

BARELY, BUT SHE WAS.

NEED TWO MORE OF THESE.

HE HAD TOLD SOME
PRETTY GRUESOME TALES

ABOUT SOMETHING HE
HAD PARTICIPATED IN.

THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS
DISTURBED BY HIS STORY

AND CALLED THE POLICE.

DONALD GLEN, CONYERS PD.

OPEN UP!

GET ON THE GROUND!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

- STOP MOVING.
- GET OFF OF ME.

DONALD GLEN WAS ARRESTED
IN LAWRENCEVILLE

ON A KIDNAPPING WARRANT.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

CATHY WHITEHEAD,
WHERE IS SHE?

SHE'S GONE.

I CAN SHOW YOU
WHERE SHE IS.

THE CASE HAD SAT
FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
DONALD GLEN COMES FORWARD AND - -

AND SAY WHAT HE DID
TO CATHY WHITEHEAD.

UNDER DONALD GLEN'S DIRECTION,

INVESTIGATORS HEAD OUT
TO THE LAST PLACE HE SAW CATHY.

DONALD GLEN BEGAN
TO TELL US,

ABOUT HIS ROLE
IN THE ABDUCTION,

THE KIDNAPPING.

THERE'S AN OLD WELL
BACK THERE.

THREW HER DOWN.

YOU'LL FIND HER
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL.

THAT'S WHAT WE DID.

WE PUT HER IN THERE.

WHO'S WE?

WE PUT HER IN THERE.

THAT'S WHAT WE DID.

ONE YEAR AFTER HER
DISAPPEARANCE, CONYERS POLICE

ARE FINALLY ON
THE TRAIL

TO FINDING 21-YEAR-OLD
CATHY WHITEHEAD.

NOW THEY'RE DETERMINED TO FIND
OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

WHO'S WE?

PLEASE, LET ME GO.

PLEASE, LET ME GO.

SO YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD
TAKE WHAT WAS MINE?

WHAT DONALD SAID
WAS THAT HE AND HAZEL,

WERE - -
WERE THE TWO PARTIES.

AND THEY WERE
INVOLVED IN IT.

DONALD GLEN WAS DATING
HAZEL'S DAUGHTER AT THE TIME.

AND HE WAS HOPING THAT,
BY ASSISTING HAZEL IN THIS,

HE WOULD BE, IN HER EYES,
ACCEPTED.

AT THAT POINT,

WE NOTIFIED
THE APPROPRIATE OFFICIALS

BECAUSE WE NOW
POSSIBLY HAD A CRIME SCENE.

AND WHEN DONALD GLEN
LEADS DETECTIVES

TO A NEARBY WELL,

THE SEARCH FOR CATHY WHITEHEAD
FINALLY COMES TO A TRAGIC END.

LORD, I DIDN'T
KNOW SHE WAS GONNA KILL HER.

THE BODY WAS BASICALLY
IN THE BOTTOM

OF THE WELL IN WATER

FOR JUST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.

IT WAS WRAPPED
IN A BLANKET.

IT WAS JUST - -
I MEAN, IT WAS A MESS.

I'M SO SORRY.

WHEN I LEARNED THAT
MY MOTHER HAD BEEN MURDERED,

I WAS DEVASTATED.

TO LEARN THAT YOU'RE NEVER
GONNA SEE YOUR MOTHER AGAIN,

AND UP UNTIL THIS POINT,
YOU'VE HAD HOPE THAT, ONE DAY,

YOU'RE GONNA WAKE UP,
AND SHE'S GONNA BE BACK.

AND YOU GET THE MESSAGE
THAT SHE'S NEVER COMING BACK,

IT'S - - IT'S TOUGH.

DONALD WAS AFRAID
NOT TO GO ALONG

WITH HAZEL,

FOR FEAR OF WHAT
SHE MIGHT DO TO HIM.

I DON'T THINK HE BOUGHT
INTO, A MURDER,

BUT HE CERTAINLY
FOUND HIMSELF IN ONE.

ARMED WITH
DONALD'S CONFESSION,

INVESTIGATORS ISSUE A WARRANT
FOR THE ARREST OF HAZEL MOORE.

HAZEL HAD TOLD
SOME OF HER FRIENDS

THAT SHE WAS GOIN' TO TEXAS.

INVESTIGATOR FARMER AND,
CHIEF VAUGHN WENT OUT TO TEXAS

AND WAS ABLE TO
TAKE CUSTODY OF HAZEL

AND BRING HER BACK TO GEORGIA.

WITH JOHN'S EX-WIFE
NOW IN POLICE CUSTODY,

INVESTIGATORS DO ALL THEY CAN
TO CONNECT THE DOTS FROM THERE.

OKAY, HAZEL.

GO AHEAD.

YEAH, SO, I GUESS
I KILLED HER.

SHE DIDN'T DISPLAY ANY,
KIND OF CONSCIENCE.

SHE DID DECIDE
TO CONFESS, MAKING SURE

THAT WE KNEW
HOW GOOD A JOB SHE HAD DONE

WITH THE PLAN
TO ABDUCT CATHY.

HELLO?
JOHN?

AAH!

- NOW YOU'RE GONNA GET IT.
- GET OFF ME!

HELP!
HELP!

SHE'S CONFINED TO
THE TRUNK OF A CAR.

SHE WAS STABBED.

NO, NO, NO!
DON'T!

PLEASE, NO!
PLEASE! NO!

SO THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TORMENT

HAD TO BE JUST HORRIFIC FOR HER.

PLEASE!
PLEASE...

THEY HAD GOTTEN THEIR POINT
ACROSS TO HER

THAT THEY WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT
HER RELATIONSHIP WITH JOHN.

AND THEN HAVING GAS
POURED ON HER.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO TO ME? NO!

YOU DESTROY MY FAMILY.

AND YOU RUIN MY LIFE.

NO! NO!

YOU - - MY GOD!

YOU'RE GOING TO HELL,
YOU LITTLE HOMEWRECKER.

I PROMISE YOU'LL NEVER
SEE ME AGAIN!

WE DIDN'T MEAN
TO FALL IN LOVE.

HAZEL, I PROMISE,
WE NEVER MEANT TO HURT NOBODY.

SHUT UP!

WE NEVER MEANT TO HURT NOBODY.
PLEASE, NO, NO, NO.

NO!

THEN SHE WAS SET ON FIRE.

AAH! NO! PLEASE! STOP!

SHE WAS STILL ALIVE,

FOR SOME TIME
AFTER THIS OCCURRED.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

NO! NO, NO...

I HAD TO STRANGLE HER.
SHE JUST WOULDN'T DIE.

SHE WAS SUFFERING.

I, I COULDN'T
LET HER SUFFER.

I THINK HAZEL'S MOTIVE

WAS JUST SIMPLY THAT,
IN HER MIND,

CATHERINE WHITEHEAD
HAD TAKEN SOMEONE

WHO SHE BELIEVED WAS STILL HERS.

SHE STOLE MY HUSBAND.

SHE BROKE UP MY FAMILY.

SHE RUINED MY LIFE.

HAZEL WAS LATER CONVICTED

IN ROCKDALE COUNTY
OF KIDNAPPING.

SHE RECEIVED A LIFE
SENTENCE FOR THAT.

SHE WAS ALSO CONVICTED
IN GWINNETT COUNTY FOR HOMICIDE.

SHE RECEIVED A LIFE
SENTENCE IN GWINNETT.

DONALD GLEN NEGOTIATED
A DEAL WITH HIS ATTORNEY

AND THE D. A.'s OFFICE
FOR ONE PLEA OF,

KIDNAPPING
WITH BODILY INJURY.

AND HE RECEIVED
A LIFE SENTENCE.

YOU ONLY GET ONE MOM.

AND - - AND MINE WAS TAKEN.

I STILL HAVE
FOND MEMORIES OF HER.

I STILL REMEMBER
HER PERSONALITY.

SO THIS - -
THIS SHOULD'VE NEVER HAPPENED.

I MEAN, SHE'S - - MY MOTHER
SHOULD STILL BE HERE.

SHE SHOULD BE HELPIN' RAISE
HER GRANDKIDS.

AND SHE SHOULD BE
LIVIN' HER LIFE.

SHE WAS - - SHE WAS TOO YOUNG
FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

I - - I STILL MISS HER
TO THIS DAY.
