she s buried. donna reitler is not as sure. yeah, he confessed. he recanted. he confessed. he recanted. without a body it s just another possibility. more than anything else they just want their daughter back. to have a place to lay her to rest, just to be able to sit and just talk to her. as for jimmy keene, his truth is stranger than fiction. he s gone from football standout to drug dealer to undercover operative. and now to screen star. with his story in development as a hollywood film. still, says keene, he thinks of the victims families and hopes they ll find their answers.
hall said. i cannot remember all of them. i picked up several girls in other areas, but i can t remember which ones i hurt. several girls in other areas. there were more victims than just jessica roach. hall said he d also been near the campus of indiana wesleyan university, where tricia reitler had disappeared. i was over there because i needed to be with somebody. it was a small shopping center, i had a van. hall said he raped and strangled a girl here, too. then he identified his victim by pointing to tricia s picture. tricia s disappearance had remained a mystery for 18 months. we were just kind of sitting on the sidelines waiting for information to come in. with little evidence, and local police insisting on another suspect, tricia s parents, gary and donna, still
for years there was no progress and no relief for people like donna and gary reitler. as a parent there s the part that you ve let her down and that you want to find her and you want to bring her home and you can t. i mean, we ve done pretty much physically everything that we can to find her. and there s somebody out there that holds that one answer for us. beaumont too felt that he d done all he could and that the pursuit of larry hall was over. there was going to be no further prosecution from the federal perspective. he s already serving life in prison. he was done. once again, larry hall had slipped off the radar, and it easily could have remained that way. except for jimmy keene. first keene s story of strange redemption was featured in a playboy article and then a book written by keene and hillel levin.
