a cop from marion, indiana was on the line. said do you know where tricia is. in my heart i knew something was drastically wrong. tricia walked to an off campus super market and never returned to her dorm. now nearly 20 years later, her parents are still waiting. you purchase a cemetery plot. yeah. and we have no answers, and somebody out there, that s what eats at me, somebody out there has that answer for us. tricia reitler wasn t even prosecutor beaumont s case, but he was deeply moved by her parents. that was always a horrible crime to me. i knew about the facts of the case, and about the family. i didn t know the family but read about them, newspaper articles, accounts of them asking for help. beaumont felt certain that suspected serial killer larry hall was responsible. not only did hall live 25
usz # larry beaumont successfully snuck informant jimmy keene into springfield prison in 1998. he just didn t expect to lose him there. goes off your radar. e. yeah, disappeared. couple weeks we didn t know what happened to him, trying to find out, we were getting frantic. two weeks later, only after keene s psychiatrist returned from vacation did they finally find jimmy. v i knew the fbi was there, any she kept apologizing, kept saying i am really sorry, a something happened with the message. at last, investigators got to search the woodshop and hall s t cell, but by then, the map and falcons, items jimmy believed t could lead to tricia, were gonei
you must have been revolted. oh, god, lester, it was probably the hardest thing i ve had to do in my life, sit there, 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 people s families, still 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 don t know where this is still going to lead, how long this is going to take, but something is now happening. jimmy was about to make an alarming discovery in the prison wood shop. was he about to solve the mystery? coming up i go what are these things. he said they watch over the
down. i just looked at him, i turned the channel again. he jumped up, starts cussing at me. i finally threw a particular cuss word at him that i knew would set him off. as soon as i did, he took a wild hey maker swing as me, i kicked him through two or three rows of chairs and beat him to a pulp. hall had a ring side-view of saturday night s main event. afterwards he staunchly defended jimmy as the retaliator, not the instigator. i became his new best friend and hero. jimmy could sense his heroics brought him closer to hall. he was ready to make a bold move. in the prison library, jimmy figured out a strategy to draw hall out on tricia reitler. i noticed he was reading his hometown newspaper. and that was really important
the info, pulled the rug out from under me. while jimmy was wondering where they were, beaumont was looking for him, too. we were like where could he be? he is in prison for god s sakes. they lost you. they lost me. but had they also lost their best chance at finding the body of tricia reitler? coming up. i try not to dwell on that at all because it eats at me, and it s it s very hard to deal with that he was close. what were you thinking telling larry hall you re out of here? when the inside man continues. here when the inside man continues. to meet someone. this is jamie. you re going to be seeing a lot more of him now. -i m not calling him dad. -oh, n-no. -look, [sighs] i get it. some new guy comes in helping your mom bundle and save with progressive, but hey, we re all in this together. right, champ? -i m getting more nuggets. -how about some carrots? you don t want to ruin your dinner. -you re not my dad!
