I cant imagine sending my daughter off to school and never seeing her again. And investigators needed help to get a confession. If anybody could pull it off, he would probably be the one to pull it off. But this snitch was different. If it worked he could win his freedom. If it didnt, he could lose his life. They had my back. They had my back. At least thats what i thought. Hello, and welcome to dateline. Jimmy was a smooth talking convict serving a tenyear sentence when he was offered an unusual deal, if he would help prosecutors pry a con pression a suspected serial killer including the location of the victims body he could walk away a free man. It was dangerous undercover work, requiring jimmy to spend months behind bars of a federal prison for the criminally insane. Getting in was the easy part. Getting out alive would be much harder. Heres lester holt with the inside man. Two enemies who didnt trust each other, faced off across a table. One of them in handcuffs was a clever con named jimmy keen. The other, a hardcharging prosecutor. The prisoner was worried sick. Larry beaumont, the prosecutor, who had just convicted him, and put him behind bars suddenly wanted to talk a top secret meeting no less. What more could he do . He was the last person i expected to hear. From he was my biggest fear. But keens fears went off the charts, when the prosecutor slid an accordion file in his direction, on top was a grisly photo of a dead girl. And i flipped to the next page and heres another young dead mutilated girl and wait a second. Hes probably thinking at some point youre about to charge him in something else. Yes, because i had been pretty rough on him in the initial prosecution. Jimmy was in the dark, he had no idea the crazy scheme beaumont had in mind. He said jimmy, here is another person we have information on, he has killed many, many young women and i personally think youre the one who could help us with this. This turned out to be an investigation to try to catch a suspected serial killer. Beaumont, an outside the box thinker, believed this convict, jimmy keen, was the one who could somehow crack the case, taking on a unique and hefty commission. I realized how serious it was. And i also realized the danger of it. But what he couldnt know was how such a Daring Mission would change his world. And the person he was forever. If this all seems fodder for a hollywood movie, brad pitt would agree. The megastar who was benjamin button, then money balls billy bean, considered playing none other than jimmy keen. Brad pitt likes the fact that this guy, jimmy, risked his life to try to find what he could find. Clearly, this guy is one of a kind. Charismatic. Con seated. Courageous. And complicated. From an early age, he had a personality, charm and cockiness that made him dream that a Hollywood Star might one day want to play him in the movies. His first big brush with fame came on the football field. I heard they called you the assassin in football. Yes. It was a good thing, i take it. Yes. I was taught at my dad at a young age and son, if you dont hit that guy first, he will hit you and hurt you first. A superstar athlete and mr. Popularity in high school, jimmy seemed to have it all as a big fish in the river city kankakee illinois, a blue collar town south of chicago. I was captain of the team. He grew up in the shadow of big jim, a giant of a man who was a cop, fireman and hero to his son. He was my best friend. He was my backbone through almost everything he did. But all of keens grand potential would be put in peril by a terrible choice he made, as a teenager, he began selling drugs, he started small, peddling bags of marijuana, here in this kankakee park and then expanded to cocaine and at the tender age of 17, he moved to chicago, with a business and profits exploded. He was now a big fish in a bigger pond, Lake Michigan to be exact. He was his own in crowd. Fast cars. Souped up women. All of hot spots. All of the big nightclubs. All of the owners i was in tight with. I would come in there and have Carte Blanche in every place i went to. Were you feeling invincible . Yes, i would say at a certain point there was an invincible feeling. Did your pop know what you were doing . Did he suspect . He didnt suspect until much, much later. It was a rude awakening for both his dad and jimmy that day in 1996 when jimmy was just relaxing in one of his chicago homes. All of a sudden, kaboom, the whole door just blew off the hinges and came flying into the house, and all of these, dea, fbi, and locals all came in, single file line, with automatic weapons, pointed at me, freeze, get on the ground, get on the ground. He had been caught in a drug sting spearheaded by the hardnosed prosecutor Larry Beaumont. We called it operation snowplow. And in court, beaumont showed keen no mercy. He was coming at you with everything. He was bull dog. Jimmy was convicted and slapped with a ten year sentence. It was pretty successful and i knew he didnt expect to get ten years in that case. Your father was in the courtroom. I knew i had let him down in probably one of the biggest ways you could let somebody down. His future was bleak. He faced ten years away from his glamorous life. The fancy cars. The big bucks. But in 1998, when all hope seemed lost, his own nemesis, beaumont, came to him with an offer of freedom, attached to the accordion file he slid across the table. In return, keen would have to agree to risk everything and become an undercover infect in one of the roughest prisons in the country. The maximum security lockup in springfield, missouri. It was a psychiatric prison, with hard core killers and the criminally insane. These people all have life sentences. They are all in there, crazy loons and have Nothing Better to do than to hurt you or kill you just for some fun. If he accepted beaumonts offer, keens target would be the suspected serial killer, a mysterious man in a van. Coming up, every picture tells a story.

Several years before jimmys arrest and conviction, his drug business was booming. And his personal life and as he tells it, it was nonstop fun and games. A lot of hot clubs here in the 90s. This was a place for doing business as well. Lived, worked and played right here, yes. It was a good time. Back then, he had no idea about the danger lurking 150 miles south and a lifestyle away, that would change his life forever. Rural georgetown, illinois, where terry rose and her husband lauren were raising their 1 15yearold dutter jessy and two other children. Far removed from big city crime. Everybody knew who everybody was so they were conscious of what was going on you could count on somebody to get after your kids if things were ahis. In 1993, jessy was a high school, devoted to home and family. Yes, siree was really very much of a home body, so one bike ride up the road and back, she was done and then we would be watching gone with the wind. One monday in september, jessy went out for a bike ride but just minutes later, her sister noticed jessys beloved bike down on its side in the middle of the road. On the side of the road, but in the middle of the road. She would put the kick stand down and stand the bicycle up, she would never put it down. I went down there immediately and saw the bicycle and new there was something wrong. The Deputy Sheriff was dispatched to the scene. The more that we learned about the girl and the girls background, we just didnt feel that she was staying away by choice. With the image of a bike tipped over and abandoned, terrified all the investigators and of course, jessys family. I mean you never lose the hope for them not come walking in. You skill hope that. I mean we knew she was not just going to walk away. After six weeks jessys familys fears were realized, her body sexually violated found in a cornfield. It can never be easy telling a parent that their child is done. No, it wasnt. But at least we were able to tell them, this is her, she is gone, we were able to erase all doubts. Gary miller had a murder case to solve. It was now a federal case. Involving prosecutor Larry Beaumont as well, since jessys body actually had been found across the Illinois State line. For the next year, miller did lots of leg work. But to no avail. Every day, you would get up and you are thinking about this case . Every day. What have i missed . Exactly. I knew this case really shook him from the beginning. And we check any and all leads that would involve young girls and kind of run them down. Then in late 1994, millers persistence finally paid off. A man in a van had been reported chasing two teenaged girls in jessys hometown of georgetown. Miller traced the van to a man named larry hall, from wabash, indiana. A threehour drive from georgetown. Your heartbeat is starting to pick up a little bit. Oh, yeah. I am thinking this has got to be checked out. Miller learned that hall was a gunhoned civil war reenactor, after ten Union Soldier who travelled the midwest to fight fantasy battles. Miller immediately drove to wabash to interview hall who wasnt saying much so miller showed him a photo of jessy roche. When i put the picture down, he flynn wered, raised his arm up and turned his chair. And refused to look at the picture. Convinced larry hall was hiding something, miller became obsessed with making a case against him. Days later, back in illinois, miller turned up a huge lead. He found witnesses who vividly remember hall from a revolutionary war reenactment in the georgetown area the very weekend before jessy was abducted. To them, hall stood out for his bushy mutton chop side burns, but also, for playing a soldier who was fighting the wrong war. He was wearing a civil war uniform, and he had a civil war hat. At a revolutionary war reenactment. Exactly. Armed with the new information, deputier returned to wabash for a second crack at hall. This time, he pressed his suspect harder stressing that halls fellow reenactors had seen him near georgetown. He came along to the point where he said well, you know, i go to so many reenactments, i could have been there, and just dont remember, because i go to a lot of them. Hes giving a little more ground. Right, yes. Miller sees the opening and kept at it. Finally, he said hall came clean and confessed that he abducted, sexually violated and strang ammed jessy to death. How much detail did you give you of killing jessica roche. Very good deal. What he actually did and what took place. Not only that, miller says larry hall confessed to other killings including a coed from Indiana Wesleyan University in nearby marion, indiana, named trisha rightner. He did say he was involved. Deputy sheriff miller didnt know much about trisha. So he called on the local Indiana Police who had been handling that case. But when marion detective jk and other indiana cops arrived, hall was suddenly telling a much different story. He denied confessing to any killing. Including jessys and trishas. And whats more, he claimed it was all a misunderstanding about disturbing dreams he had. He takes us out to a location, where in my dreams, he stranged her and left her lay here, and you search the woods, we searched the area and never really found anything. The indiana cops who were familiar with hall were not at all surprised by his actions. Some of them like jk, thought hall might be a wanna bee. A pretender who gets his kicks to confessing to crimes he didnt commit. Is is it possible he is simply obsessed with these cases but not involved. There is no doubt in my mind that he does follow these cases. He does read and he is attracted to cases. All over the country. So the question is then, is he a wanted man . Deputy sheriff miller and prosecutor beaumont however felt certain they had a real killer on their hands. A serial killer. With a unique m. O. He would drive crosscountry to reenactments where he played fantasy soldier and then prey on young women and kill for real. The fbi started discovering girls that were in fact missing at these various areas at the time he would have been there. But the only case for which prosecutors had sufficient evidence was jessy roches. Larry hall was arrested in connection with her death. Even though he did nyed making that confection to miller. Le had went on trial in 199 a. As a prosecutor, whats the best card youre holding . We had a statement. His confession. Said he did it. Beaumont called Deputy Sheriff miller to the stand to testify that pal had indeed admitted that he abducted and killed jessy after he spotted her with her bicycle. She was walking her bike at that point. Miller testified that in his confession, hall gave him a detail that only the killer would know, that jessy was not riding her bike, but walking it, a safety precaution the roches insisted she follow when she was on the narrow road. That was never in the press that she was walking her bike that day. Right. When you heard that, did that give more credence to the story. Oh, yes, that just sealed it for me. I knew he was the one. A jury unanimously agreed. It took just three hours to convict larry hall. But prosecutor beaumont believed this was just the tip of the iceberg. He felt certain hall was a serial killer. And now, he had to find a way to prove it. So he began investigating trisha rightlers abduction. A case that wasnt his, or a family he didnt even know. I cant imagine sending my daughter off to school, and never seeing her again. And he came up with an outside the box scheme to get hall. Which would risk the life of that charismatic convict he had just put away for dealing drugs. Jimmy keen. What happens when i got to deal with all of these crazy killers and stuff .

People typically dont admit murders, sexual assaults and murd torious Police Officers unless in fact they probably have done it so it was clear we felt he was responsible for the trisha reitler disappearance. She had a great personality. She walked into the room and everybody knew she was there. Trisha, a 19yearold sipsyc major at Indiana Wesleyan University on the way to become a family counselor. Her goal was to put families back together again. But her parents referred that late night phone call every parent drops. A cop from marion indiana was on the line. He said you know trisha, where she is. In my heart, i knew that something was drastically wrong. Trisha had walked to an offcampus supermarket and never returned to her dorm. More than 25 years later, her parents are still waiting. We had no answers. And somebody out there. Somebody out there has that answer for us. Tricia wasnt even prosecutor beaumonts case, but he was deeply moved by her parents. It was always a horrible time. The thing about this case, we knew the family, i never met them but i had read all of the newspaper articles and the accounts of them asking for help. Beaumont felt certain that suspected serial killer larry hall was responsible. Not only did hall live 25 minutes from indiana wesleyan, he had been identified chasing two coeds there just a week after tricia went missing so in the summer of 1995, a month after convicting hall for jessie roachs murder, beaumont was leading a search for tricia in the same indiana backwoods where hall had told indiana authorities he dreamt he killed and buried tricia. I wanted to do everything chi to see if i could find her body. After two days searching in sweltering heat and humidity, her body didnt turn up. We couldnt find it. It doesnt mean it wasnt there. Then beaumont decided to try something complete completely different. I came up with the idea of putting somebody in the prison cell with him to see if we could get him to tell us what he did with tricia. Did anybody think you were crazy . Most people did think i was crazy but i was able to convince them that we should do it anyway. Enter jimmy keene, the drug dealer beaumont had just convicted and sent to a low security prison. Why did he stick out in your mind . Because i knew he was kind of a con man. He was smart. I knew if anybody could pull it off, he would be the one who could probably pull it off. You have been training in martial arts. You can go in a dangerous environment where a lot of people cant and you can protect yourself. Return, beaumont offered jimmy freedom but first jimmy would have to exact more than a confession. I told him, unless we found the body, you would get no credit. No body, you get nothing. Jimmy was skeptical. He was a drug dealer. Not a criminal profiler. And he knew this was a mission impossible. He said no. But then, fate intervened. Jimmys dad suffered a stroke. Weeks later, frail and sickly, he came to visit jimmy. My dad was in a wheelchair. Big jim, the guy who had been superman to me my whole entire life. We cried through the window and talked for a while and he didnt know about the offer. Nobody knew about it. Jimmy now realized he had a onetime only opportunity to fix the mess he had made for himself. And get out while his dad was still alive. As soon as we were done with the visit, i called my lawyer and i said tell beaumont i will take him up on his offer. The mission was on. So on august 3rd, 1998, federal marshalls escorted jimmy into the psychiatric prison. Once they stepped out the door, i was on my own. Jimmys cover story was that he was a convicted weapons runner, with a 4year sentence pushed him over the edge and landed him in the psyche prison. A psyche prison filled with killers. His one inside contact, the chief psychiatrist, couldnt protect him. Nor could his outside lifeline. A female fbi agent who visited as his girlfriend to monitor his progress. I did have a hot line to her, too. So if i got caught in a dangerous situation, chi get a hold of her, and, chi get a hold of her and the deal was they had me out in 24 hours. They had my back. They had my back. At least you thought. At least i thought oopts. When keenechlzs mission began, it was all about him. Has shot at freedom. He had few feelings at all about tricia and her family and ul he wanted to do was get in and out with trishas location and as fast as possible. Day one, breakfast in the mess hall. Jimmy zeroed in on larry hall. I was waiting with my tray and i look over and there he is. 20, 25 feet away from me. Sitting there all by himself. It felt like a magnet was compelling me to come to him. And finally i bumped shoulders with him on purpose. Jimmy explained he was a brand new inmate, needing directions to the library. Hall obliged. I kind of slapped him on the shoulder thanks a lot, i appreciate that from a cool guy like you. After that, they occasionally talked. But the next step came when jimmy was invited to join halls breakfast club. Which in the prison system, it is a big thing of who youre invited to have your breakfast with. Keene thought he was making progress, but then, prison politics got in the way. I left out of chow hall one morning and two really big muscular guys came up to me and said hey, the old man wants to talk to you right now. Right now, he wants to talk to you. Old man was the celebrity mafioso, also known as the godfather who used to Wander Around new york city in his bath robe pretending to be nuts. Hey, boy, whats wrong with you. Whats wrong you with. What do you hang around all of them baby killers over there. You hang with us for now. You hang around them people, maybe somebody comes up and puts a knife in your back. You know. And he would be at my cell early in the morning, jimmy, get up, were going to play bocce ball. What about breakfast. We will get a round of bocce ball and then have breakfast. Which is all very nice but you are trying to get out of prison. And he was taking up jimmys valuable time making it harder to talk to hall. And learned halls favorite show was americas most wanted and one saturday night in the tv room jimmy would make a daring room, putting his body on the line just to gain larrys trust. Coming up, jimmys new best friend shares a nightmare. It is probably the hardest thing ive ever done in my life. I listened to this kind of stuff and i just ripped him apart. When dateline continues.

Convicted drug dealer james keene was on a mission after making a deal with the federal prosecutor, he had infiltrated a psychiatric prison. His goal . To get suspected serial killer larry hall to admit to the murder of 19yearold Tricia Reitler and reveal the location of her body. If successful, jimmy would be released from a junior prison sentence. But even a hardened inmate like jimmy would not be prepared for the horrific story hall was about to share. Here again is lester holt with the inside man. By the fall of 1998, after several months in missouris toughest federal prison, jimmy keene could have won a popularity contest. He charmed everyone, just as beaumont knew he would. He even went over some convicts with his Lending Library of pornographic magazines. And he managed to placate the chin and the mob faction by day while circling his prey suspected serial killer larry hall with oneonone bull sessions at night. We talked about a lot of normal things. Hang out. And making him feel like i wanted to be his friend. But it wasnt fast enough for keene, who feared someone might recognize him and blow his cover. If you went by the fbis technical terms i was pretty much staying right on pace, but from my point of view, of being in this place, it was starting to get very hard. On the outside, the mission mastermind, larry moment, could only sit and wait for secondhand news on how this crazy scheme of his was going. Now, were you pacing the floors waiting for updating during all of this . I dont know if i paced the floors but i was eager to get updates. I had information that he was starting to trust him. They were talking. And that kind of thing. But beaumont had no idea that a break through moment had arrived. It was a saturday night. Keene and hall were in the prisons tv room, watching americas most wanted again. Here comes this big prisoner, hes a big muscular buff guy. And he walked over to the tv and turned the channel. And hall said real quietly mumbles under his breath, he guess hey, thats not right, i was watching that. And i thought you know what, this is a prime opportunity for me. Jimmy, a martial arts expert, who continued working out in prison, was ready for this moment. He got up and changed the channel back. He jumped up and he is slabbering all over the place, you turned that channel, ill rip your damn head off, you dont touch that tv and turns the channel and sits back down and i looked up and turned the channel and he started cuss and i threw a cut word at him that i knew he would tick him off and then he took a punch at me and i had an upper cut. He defended jimmy as the retaliator not the instigator when prison officials asked questions. You were his new hero. I was his new best friend and hero. Jimmy had coo sense that his heroics had brought him closer to hall and now he was ready to make a bold move. In the prison library, jimmy had figured out a strategy to draw hall out on trish kbcia. I noticed a hometown newspaper and that was important for me to start cracking into his psyche. Even though the goal was trishas body, jimmy decided to ask first about something already public knowledge. Halls conviction in the jessie roche case. Jimmy fibbed that his mother lived near wabash and read about yes jessies case and other stories involving hall. And she gets the story and all of the newspapers say you killed multiple women. That was a big risk. It all was a big risk and i said larry, i dont care what youre in here for and be honest with me and tell me what happened and im still your friend know matter what and ive had girls do me wrong in my life and i understand how they can get under your skin and be bother hom to you. And jimmy says he pressed hall about jessie roach. At last, hall began opening up, recalling that september day in 1995. He was driving down the road and seen her walking her bicycle. Then hall told jimmy exactly how he abducted and killed jessie. You must have been revolting. Oh, god lester, probably the hardest thing i had ever done to me to sit there and pretend to be his friend, to listen to this kind of stuff and not just rip him apart but i knew what the mission involved, i knew what was at stake for me, i knew what was at stake for the peoples families, you know, that were still, you know, trying to find their daughters. A major transformation was taking place. Jimmy was starting to care about more than just himself. And now, he was determined to squeeze the most crucial confession out of larry hall. And not just for himself. But for the family of Tricia Reitler. I started thinking, i dont know where this is going to lead, how long this is going to take, but somethings now happening. Coming up, a disturbing discovery. To solve the mystery of the missing girl. What are these things anyway. They watch over the dead, jimmy, he says, they do. When dateline continues. ,.

Hall had described in gruesome detail how he murdered jessie roach. I opened that door and hes feeling that he can trust me enough now. But jimmy felt he needed to wait a bit before going for the goal line. How did you broach tricia. I had to be slow because i didnt want him to think i was piling on. He carefully plotted his next move. Days later he thought the time was right, he tried that hometown newspaper ploy again. The newspapers say you killed this girl at the college over here. What happened there. Jimmy couldnt be sure how hall would react, had he been too blunt, too direct . No, it was all clicking. According to jimmy, hall began to open up about tricia and said he drove his van right up to her that day he saw her outside school. He said that he tried to kiss her and when he did, that she started fighting very violently. He said she was a very strong girl and fought stronger than anybody had ever fought before. And did he admit it . He had said he had killed her and knew he had done it again, these are his words, that he knew he had done it again and he went way out in the woods and buried her way out in the woods. Hall gave a general location for trishas body, near a river in indiana. But jimmy needed more specific information. Luckily, he seemed to stumble into it a few nights later when he spotted hall inside the prison wood shop, a restricted area. Theres nobody at the door. No guards or anything and i went in there. And as i came up from behind him, he had all of these little different statues lined up, ten, 15 of them, maybe. And i couldnt tell what they were at first and as i got closer i noticed he had a big map laid out and he dove on that map and folded it up really fast and slid it off to the side of the table and what are these things anyway and he says they are these little falcons and he said they watch over the jimmy, he goes, they do. And they looked like a good sized chess piece. Jimmy had a good feeling that the woodsized falcons and a map were journal keeping about aserial keeper. That man had little red dots all over it, illinois, indiana, wisconsin. You look down at this map, you could see all of these little spots are burial spots where hes got somebody. All of those months of dangerous painstaking work had paid off. Jimmy had cracked the case. Mission accomplished. Once you see the map, the falcons, you want to tell the fbi about it, right . I did. I went to the hot line, i had for the fbi girl, i called, i got some type of a voice recording, it was afterhours. So jimmy left a message for his fbi contact to come get him, the map and the falcons. His freedom. And the answers to trishas parents prayers were hours away. I was elated. I felt i wrapped this up. Youre expecting the troops to come marching in. Expect the troops to come marching in. And it didnt quite work that way. What he couldnt know was his fbi contact didnt get his voice mail. And it was the inside contact, the chief psychiatrist was on vacation. Then you got a little full of yourself, didnt you. I did. I went back to my cell. I was really happy. And 24 hours, they will have me out of here, ive got what they need. This is it. So i went across to the cell over there. Impulsively, jimmy decided he just couldnt leave prison without giving him fake friend a piece of his mind. The impulsiveness i felt about him throughout the whole time i had to stay being his friend and the disdain and the dislike i had for him, that i thought it was good for me to unload on him and tell him what i really thought of him and who he really was. I said you know, im going to be going home larry, and i said youre a crazy killer and i started telli started calling him everything he could think of. With that, jimmy returned to his cell and waited to be released. Going home the next day and things take another turn. At 5 30 in the morning, i hear a white lady in a white doctor smock come walking in. It was halls psychologist and furious that jimmy had blasted her patient turning him into an emotional wreck. She told me, grab him and throw him and take him in the hole and they put me in the hole, and they keep me here and im not worried, and the fbi will be here and 24 hours and they will have me out of here. Morning turned into afternoon into evening and the calvary doesnt hadnt arrived. There was hard time, at its hardest. You cant see if its day or night because youre in the hole. And you can tell what time it is day or night by the meals in your door shot. And here is breakfast, lunch and dinner and here is breakfast again and here is coming lunch and where are these guys . My thoughts were, they did me wrong. They got what they needed. They got the information. And they pulled the rug out from under me. While jimmy was wondering where they were, beaumont was looking for him, too. And we were like where could he be . Hes in a prison gore gods sake. Coming up they lost you. They lost me.

He just didnt expect to lose him there. He goes off your radar. He disappeared. A couple of weeks, we didnt know what happened to him. We were trying to find out, we were getting frantic. Two weeks later, only after keenes contact psychiatrist returned from vacation did they find jimmy. She kept apologizing, im really sorry, something happened with the message. At last, investigators got to search the wood shop and halls cell but by then the map and the falcons, items jimmy believed could lead to tricia were gone. What were you thinking, telling larry hall youre out of here and dressing him down. People probably wouldnt understand that the mounting pressure, the kettle is ready to boil over, over time and it felt good to unload. The problem is as i see it, you unloaded on him, he knows you are against him, and nobody knows he has that map. I should have waited a couple more days and i did all i could do and i felt in my that i did all chi do. The people who would benefit the most about the successful mission, trishas parents only learned about the story in 2008 when the story came out in a Playboy Magazine article. The reitlers are thankful for the courage and the details he got from halibut furious he blew his cover before finding their daughter. Why would you have been so close, and then give it up like he did . I try not to dwell on that at all. Because it eats at me. And its very hard to deal with, that he was that close. Jessie roachs parents find small consolation in that jessie was the victim who tripped up hall. If something good could possibly come out of losing jessie, its the fact that hes in prison and he will never get released. Hall remains in federal prison with no possibility of parole. Hes since made more murder confessions to reporters, and investigators. I sincerely believe that there are young girls out there somewhere who are alive today because larry hall is in prison. Do you think he killed before . I think he killed before and i think we kill again. Jimmy did teld beaumont that hall had killed again but there was no documentation. It was just jimmys word, so to be sure, the prosecutor made him take a lie detector test. And jimmy passed with flying colors. He was telling the truth. So the bottom line is, we had further information that larry was responsible for tricia. A grateful beaumont decided to reward him with full credit for his brave undercover work, releasing him from prison, and scrubbing his criminal record clean. From his perspective, he expected to get nothing. But from my perspective, of course, he spent time in the loony bin with this guy and gone through this whole process. For 15 years, jimmy had been the only one to see those falcons that hall said watched over the dead. The problem is we never got them, they disappeared. So we dont know what happened to them. You have never seen the falcons. No. I will show you a picture. Thats one of the falcons. Dateline took pictures of a falcon when we met larry halls twin brother. He said larry carved the falcon in the wood shop at the springfield prison, and then mailed it to their mother. I showed a photo of that falcon to both beaumont and jimmy. Whats it like for you to see that after all these years. Its definitely bizarre. But its also reassuring to me, lette lester and ill tell you why, the falcons backs everything ive said, and thats exactly what it looked like. After becoming a free man in 1999, jimmy got to spend five more years with a father he idolized before big jim passed away and he tried to make the most of his incredible opportunity. He sees the hall experience as something that gave him a Second Chance at life. When we last met with jimmy, he had done well in real estate and cowritten a book with the author leven, in with the devil which telling jimmys compelling story of reception. He said he also had several hollywood projects in the work, most notably the movie version of his book. But jimmy is especially proud that his book reenergized some cold case investigations, several targeting hall, in indiana, and wisconsin, at least one near a civil war reenactment site. Investigators dug up locations where hall spent sometime over the years, and found articles of Womens Clothing and a belt modified with wooden handles all sent out for dna testing. But cold case detectives following fresh leads still havent developed enough evidence to bring charges. Dy a good deed. And i did a lot of good things. And thats where i feel the redemption comes in. Ive done something good for the things that i did wrong. Thats all for this edition of dateline. Im craig melvin. Thank you for watching. She was a College Student found on a lonely road in texas. We figured she had been sexually assaulted and dumped here. Tough questions for her boyfriend. Where was i the night before . What had i been doing . When had i last seen her .
