phenomena. they call him the evidence whisper. hello. the college student vanished after a night out clubbing. nancy thought she was out sleeping with friends. it would take years for detectives to uncover the truth buried in a pile of lies but could they find lynsie. here is the night lynsie disappears. reporter: sometimes the facts are as clear as the southern california skies. other times you have to know where to look to see the truth. this man has made a career of noticing what others do not. what s his reputation? meticulous investigator. pouring over the volume of evidence and finding things that other investigators did not find. the evidence whisperer? yep. reporter: does this man acts guilty or does he know more than what he s saying? what about this man, can you believe the story he s telling. i was supposed to pick her up twice, she was so out of character and did not show up either day. reporter: the evidence whisperer were not present o
i m i m easily identifiable. every place that i went would know that i was in there with her, okay? it was a very long interview. friendly? no. i remember drilling down on him because i really thought that he might know where lynsie was. might know where lynsie was if you had a child that vanished, vaporized in thin air, would your heart not be broken? oh, absolutely. do you not feel some compassion for nancy. unbelievable. i think this is a nice girl and, you know, this family s had their share of hard you know, and this is just hardships. i feel so helpless. i don t think you are helpless. if you can help us. marty insisted he couldn t, that he didn t know what had happened to lynsie. detectives weren t buying it. did you harm lynsie? no.
you consider that and weigh it. you go is that a good possibility? probably not but still keep an open mind. so larry sat down and read through the entire case file. all the witness statements, all the interviews. he did that for two years. he watched the february 2001 interview that police did with a very unhappy marty. doesn t it strike you as tremendously suspicious that marty would call after lynsie disappears, talk to lynsie s mother and give a phony name? if you didn t know the background of marty, then absolutely. when i talked to the mother on the phone, i gave her an identifier, named marty resler, that s what i said. which is a lie? which is a lie. watching that interview, larry chalked up marty s dishonesty as an attempt to save his marriage.
no. never. even by accident? never touched her. you know, never touched her. this have you put her someplace where she s left? no. police searched marty s home and found nothing. no proof that marty had anything to do with lynsie s disappearance so they moved on to a new suspect, someone closer to lynsie than anyone else on earth. dateline returns after the break.
trying to decide between two suspects. i mean, i m concerned about this girl, you know? and she s missing. marty, lynsie s older friend who kept their relationship a secret and lied about his name and chris. she might be still alive. the last person known to have seen lynsie who dropped her off at that corner. at that point any idea on your part which of those two was the more likely suspect? no. i don t know until i get into it and see the details. you no doubt have a god s in the details. and innocence. innocence. was it marty or chris. larry even considered another possibility. could it have been random, someone who had seen lynsie at just the wrong time? so you ve got a bad guy waiting, hoping that a girl drops out of her car at 4:25 in the morning. it can happen.
