When i found out my mom was missing, i fought tooth and nail. We searched that entire summer. Day and night. I even got hypnotized, once, to try to communicate with my mom, for her to tell me where she was. I did everything i could possibly do. Reporter Rachael Anderson had one great passion. She would have had a child every year if she could have. She just loved being a mom so much. Reporter and with kids at home, it was extra scary when someone started stalking her. We were talking late at night, and she got real panicked and she said, i think theres somebody outside. Reporter watching her every move. Knowing where shes at in her house, which lights were on. Reporter making disturbing calls, with a disguised voice. It at only a matter of time. Suddenly rachel disappeared and a desperate search began. You can see the vastness and all the various places that you could conceal a body. Reporter months went by. The case stalled. Then investigators learned that the plot might be bigger and darker than they ever could have guessed. This is a very tentlizing thread that comes together. Absolutely. Reporter whispers that rachael was the victim of something out of a hitchcock movie. A moment of pure evil. He had a look in his face i had described as satan. Reporter and, just maybe, a second woman in the cross hairs. If the stories were true, then you had married a stranger. Exactly. Reporter im lester holt and this is dateline. Heres Dennis Murphy with secrets of the snake river. Reporter in country so beautiful as the palouse, the wheat and bean fields running up and down the bumps and hollows of Eastern Washington as far as the eye can see, its hard to imagine anything bad happening out here. But gaze and listen closely, and sometimes youll uncover secrets in the shadows. Murder and betrayal, as close as the stranger sleeping beside you. Here in the city of clarkston, a 40yearold single mom was raising her two young sons. She also had two older daughters. Rachael anderson was her name, just fivefoot and a bit, and how susie jeppson enjoyed her company. We were just friends the getgo. She was just spunky and fun, and she just loved to laugh. Reporter her grown daughters were out of the house. Amber. She was my hero. She was my everything. She just had a really fun spirit about her. Reporter ashley. She raised us, gave us everything we needed, taught us everything we needed to know. Reporter rachael had been married and divorced three times when, by the spring of 2009, a new man had entered the picture. She told me that shed met somebody. Theyd gone out on a date and that she was very impressed because he wanted to have a blessing over the food that he and she thought that was just wonderful. Reporter a publicly christian man with a notorious gangsters last name, Charles Capone. I asked her out for dinner and we went to dinner, and we found each other attractive. Reporter what made you laugh about her . How she looked at life, everything is to be absorbed. Everybody should have a good time. Nobody should fight. Reporter what was going on in her life . I thought she was a brilliant woman. I thought, oh, this womans focused, got direction, awesome. Reporter rachael told her daughters about charles, how devout, kind, and handsome he was, and successful. He owned a busy Auto Repair Shop up the road a ways in moscow, idaho. He did service on peoples cars for no charge to help, you know, people who didnt have the money in the community. Reporter the new couple were soon regulars at sunday worship. And charles found himself with a new business partner. She started helping me with the shop. She had that office totally changed around and working more efficiently and saving me money in just a matter of, you know, two months. Reporter rachael and charles dove headlong into a whirlwind romance. Introduced in may, they eloped in november. The newlyweds made their home at rachaels place, about 30 miles south of charles auto shop. Rachaels, sons 6yearold gavin and 10yearold aiden, lived with them. We took the kids fishing. They had never been fishing before. Shed throw on camo and go hunting with the guys. Reporter but the thrill was gone not more than a month after the wedding. The couple went their separate ways. A lonely charles moved into his shop for a while until a friend offered him a place to stay. Separated but their lives remained curiously entwined. Were talking all the time. Were either getting along or not getting along. We could have one phone call that was, you know, just enjoyable, you know, talking about things that need to be taken care of. And then we have one phone call where were just just going at each other. Reporter as winter turned to spring in 2010, rachael and charles did have something to talk about. Strange, unsettling things were happening to rachael. She told her friends someone was stalking her. We were talking late at night, and she got real panicked and she said, i think theres somebody outside. Reporter and then came a rash of disturbing phone calls. No caller i. D. , disguised voices. Its funny you dont get it. Reporter she gave her friend Jennifer Norberg the lowdown. What kinds of things were going on with her . Phone calls. Distorted voices. Reporter creepy movie kind of stuff . Knowing where shes at in her house, which lights were on. Not just, i know where you are, i know in the bedroom right now . Umhmm. I know what time you came home last night and what time you left today. And, just watching her every move. Its only a matter of time before we get your cell phone number. Reporter charles, meanwhile, told rachael he was getting the same kind of disturbing calls. And in april it got worse. Rachaels vehicle was vandalized, more than once. Tires slashed, windows broken. Charles volunteered to fix her car, even though they were living apart. He gave her a loaner suv to drive. Rachael was pretty sure who was behind all the scary nonsense, a guy shed gone out with a few times and had developed, she thought, an unhealthy thing about her. Rachael went to the county Sheriffs Office and told her story to captain dan hally. She was extremely frightened. She believed an individual that she had dated for a couple weeks, by the name of William Slemp he was the one stalking and harassing her. Reporter so when rachael left that day, what was the plan . She was going to essentially put together the information that she had, and then we were going to meet again that friday. Reporter did you see her again, captain . I talked to her on the phone, but i never saw her again. Reporter not long after leaving the Sheriffs Office, rachael applied for a restraining order against William Slemp. It was the weekend. The two boys had visitation with their dads. It wasnt until midmorning the following monday that people began to realize that something had gone very wrong. Rachaels daughter amber got a message that her mom hadnt shown up for work as a medical technician. Totally unlike her. Yeah. I knew immediately that it was bad. Amber got word to sister ashley, and they raced to their moms home. When there was no answer at the door they called the police. Captain hally dispatched his lead detective jackie nichols. There was several people in the front yard, rachaels daughters, and they were frantic. I searched the house looking for any types of evidence. Reporter nothing, huh . No. The last time i seen her, she said that, i think this will end in my death. Where was racael anderson . A search of about to set off a string of alarm bells. When we return the first ominous clues. It vehicle was left unlocked with her purse in plain sight with the keys in plain sight. What woman leaves her purse behind . It was a bad sign.

Reporter Rachael Andersons loved ones were filled with dread when she failed to turn up for her job as a medical technician that monday morning in 2010. She would have never left her children. She would not have left her sons, not for a minute, not for a day. Reporter investigators had a few bare facts to work with. They knew rachael had canceled that friday meeting with Asotin County sheriffs captain dan haley about the stalking incidents. Detectives could find no atm or cell phone activity since a voicemail rachael left at 8 09 friday night. That meant rachael had been off the grid nearly three days. I knew there was something very, very wrong. Reporter youd swung into action . I had about 1,000 fliers printed at staples. Reporter monday afternoon Law Enforcement pinged rachaels cell phone and got a weak echo just across the snake river from her home. We got a lot of people out into that field. Also, used a bloodhound to do a live search. We were looking in trash bags, and tarps, and under bushes. We searched all night. By the time i got home my knees were bloody, and my hands. Reporter the search was futile. Early the next day, tuesday, captain hally formed a regional missingperson task force. So whats on your white board . Whats on your agenda . Its William Slemp. Reporter the former boyfriend. Yeah. We went down and other exboyfriends, exhusband. Family. There had been a neighbor that lived across the street from rachael that had some suspicious behavior. Hed asked rachael out on a date and shed turned him down. And then he left town very abruptly. Reporter i mean thats certainly suspect. Is he involved . Well and were checking hospitals, travel information. We checked every bus ticket that was sold that weekend. Reporter an early lead may have come when rachael talked to sheriffs captain dan hally the week before. She told him that day she was terrified of the slemp guy messing with her. But the captain had a different stalking suspect in mind after rachael told him she was divorcing charles. So an early stop for investigators was the charles shop. So whos the guy you met . Easygoing. You know, he was very cordial. Hes being cooperative. I didnt have anything to hide. What was i going to hide . Here they come, driving up. Im like, come on in. Reporter charles assured police he had nothing to do with the stalking or damaging of her car. But youre not vandalizing the vehicle . Youre not scary walking her house . Absolutely not. Reporter did you slash her tires . No, absolutely not, and i reporter did you break out the back windshield . No, absolutely not. Reporter in fact, charles told cops he was helping rachael get to the bottom of the harassment. He said the estranged couple together went looking for the obsessed exboyfriend to sort him out. She tells me about him. And then we go driving over to his house because theres a pay phone right near his house thats one of the pay phones that was making phone calls to her. Reporter you thought slemp was the stalker . I just thought he was still involved with her because he had this huge crush on rachael. He tells me he was, you know, being the helpful guy, and then hes trying to help her figure out whos stalking her. Reporter charles went on to tell the investigators he hadnt seen rachael since that previous friday night, when shed stopped by the garage to pick up her car. It wasnt ready. He described how she was upset, because, you know, hes workin on her car. Reporter charles said rachael then left to buy a computer. She couldnt find what she wanted but returned with a sixpack. They drank a few of the beers, he said, and she left. Whats the picture thats coming together for you . Im trying to keep all options open in my mind. Because i was concerned that she mightve been impaired that evening and couldve driven off the road. Reporter a benign kind of explanation for why shes gone missing. Right. Reporter but a few hours later that theory was doused when they located rachaels loaner suv at a Convenience Store that doubled as a bus station not far from her house. The vehicle was left unlocked with her purse in plain sight with the keys sitting in plain sight. Reporter what woman leaves her purse behind . It was a bad sign. Reporter and the detectives had to consider another scenario. Had pretty 54 rachael, 120 pounds soaking wet, offered an easy target for an abduction by a stranger unknown . While detectives were doing their official thing, rachaels loved ones were widening their increasingly desperate search all across the palouse. We were up handing fliers from here to colfax. Eastwest, northsouth. We were out every available minute. Reporter it was as though the palouse had just swallowed her up. Coming up finally a break. Police learn there was somebody else with Charles Capone the night rachael disappeared. But something doesnt add up. The timeline was different from Charles Capone reporter Rachael Anderson, a mother of four, had vanished and it was the job of captain dan hally and the missing Persons Task Force to find out what had happened to her. Rachael has not hopped a bus. No. Reporter shes not in anybodys emergency room. No. Thats correct. Reporter you suspect foul play. Absolutely. Right. Reporter the investigators started working their way through a list of suspects, starting with the men who wanted to be in rachaels life. There was the neighbor whod tried to take her out and been turned down. He had an alibi. That left the old boyfriend named slemp, the one rachael said she was afraid of. But he could account for his whereabouts when rachael went missing. The former boyfriend was not playing out. Correct, yeah. Reporter you had to follow all those trails. Absolutely, yeah. As these threads started, we would follow them as we could. But Charles Capone was the one that never was a dead end. Reporter captain dan hally had been suspicious of charles ever since rachael stopped by to make a stalking complaint about the exboyfriend. But that same day rachael had also told the captain she was in the midst of divorcing Charles Capone. The grounds . She said hed tried to choke her. Its nice to be able to just walk around with your head up. Reporter the cops werent so sure and were now chasing down his friends, including his good pal david stone, a married High School Baseball coach and employee at the moscow, idaho, maintenance department. To the investigators astonishment, david volunteered that hed been hanging out with charles and rachael at the garage the friday night she went missing. Its absolutely huge. Reporter now you got another guy, someone with information. Somebody with information. It immediately raises the question, why didnt Charles Capone ever mention david stone to me during the entire time i interviewed him . Reporter threedays after rachael was reported missing, the Task Force Detectives sat david stone down and grilled him. He provided a timeline for that evening, and it was different than Charles Capones timeline. Reporter the husbands friend told the cops rachael came by the shop about 5 00 p. M. And waited for charles to finish her car. David stone says he then left to get some food at an a w. When he got back to the garage around 8 00, rachael was gone. Stone said he drove charles to a local bar, swung by his home for a while, then went out later to pickup charles at the bar. Many of the investigators knew david stone and his wife alisa. She worked in Moscow City Hall as a grants writer. Who was your dave, personality, character . Yeah. Someone that was very caring, was a really good stepdad. You know, was on the volunteer fire department. Reporter Charles Capone, were they friends . Yes, yes. Reporter did you know rachael . I knew her only from church. Reporter alisa knew her husband was at the garage that friday night and said nothing seemed amiss. What did he say was going on . He said he dropped charles off, mingles and that there had been some interaction with rachael that wasnt happy. And charles said he wanted to have a drink. And so he dropped him off and was going to go back, and hed be home. Reporter intriguing perhaps, but the two friends mismatched stories did nothing to advance the cops case. Rachel still missing, there was no evidence an actual crime had even occurred. All they had were their suspicions about david stone and Charles Capone. So now you got two different versions of friday night. Two different versions. They were supposedly together, but theyre telling two different stories. Reporter tangled somewhere in the differing accounts, the cops thought, there must be a buried clue about what had happened to rachael. Meantime, her heartbroken daughters did what they could to fill the awful hours. Organizing searches, building a webpage, and pressuring the police. We searched ditches. We searched, gosh, abandoned buildings. We searched. Abandoned mines. We put yeah, we put fliers in towns, hoping that someone would see her passing through. Their mom meant so much to them. And they did not want this to just become another cold case. Reporter the investigation was heading that way until the detectives revisited an early lead. A nefarious scheme, if true. Hard to believe that something as evil as that could happen in the palouse. This is a very tantalizing thread that comes together this is the stuff of the movies. Absolutely. Coming up the case is about to go in an unthinkable direction. With the clock ticking, police realize another woman may also be a target. We wanted her to know that she was potentially in danger herself. Huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Yeah, Everybody Knows that. Well, did you know that playing cards with kenny rogers gets old pretty fast . You got to know when to holdem. Know when to fold em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run.

A special svu, all new wednesday here on nbc reporter the high and low search across the eerily beautiful palouse country for any trace of Rachael Anderson was turning up nothing. Months after her disappearance detectives were convinced they had identified their prime persons of interest, rachaels estranged husband charles and his churchgoing buddy, david stone. But the investigation had stalled and was at an apparent dead end. No secret what the biggest obstacle was for lead investigators captain dan hally and detective jackie nichols. Its an axiom in Law Enforcement, no body, no crime. Its a challenge. At this point, we dont even know for sure that we have a death. We believe that in our gut. Reporter as the cops dug deeper into the background of the husbands friend david stone, the case suddenly became way more complex. A mind blowing theory, maybe this wasnt just about one wife, rachael, maybe it was about two. The investigation had led them to the city maintenance yard where stone worked. A fellow employee there had related a conversation hed had with david stone awhile back. It surfaces that there had been some conversations between david stone and this individual about a plan to kill stones wife for 10,000. Reporter then stone, the story went, came back sometime later and told the maintenance yard guy to forget theyd talked. Hed arranged a plan b for murder. And that later that that deal was canceled because stone had reached an agreement with Charles Capone that they would kill each others wives. Reporter ill kill your wife if youll kill mine. This is the stuff of the movies. Right. It is, absolutely. Lets say that that youd like to get rid of your wife. Reporter to be specific, a 1950 Alfred Hitchcock thriller titled strangers on a train. In the movie two strangers each agree to commit a murder for the other. They swap murders. Reporter did capone and stone each agree to do in the others wife . Could that be . Do you believe it . I think there was something to it because the yeah, i definitely think there was. Reporter mrs. Stone is alive and well and among us. Did you talk to her . She is. Yes, we did. Reporter boy, what a table conversation, huh . We wanted the cops are telling me that youre trying to kill me . We wanted her to know that she was potentially in danger herself. Reporter you get some devastating news but you continued to share a house with him, huh . I did. I remember many times when i would question david and say somethings not right. Reporter david stone was able to convince alisa that the cops had dreamed up the murder plot story as a way to put pressure on him to turn him against his friend. And putting pressure on that friend, Charles Capone, is what happened next. Hed been found in a possession of a gun, a big nono for a former felon. Capone was placed in the county jail while awaiting federal charges on a firearm violation. In a cell, the visiting detectives had his full attention. And i get this interesting visit from dan hally and jackie nichols. I essentially opened it up with, today, charles, youre going to tell me you killed rachael and where her body is. And his response was, well, you only got one of those right. But i didnt kill her. Reporter if charles didnt kill her, who did . The investigators landed hard on david stone, the only other person known to have been with rachael that night. And we confront him with, stone, we know you got blood on your hands.

But still the Task Force Investigation focused on him and stone appeared to be at a dead end. The missing womans daughters were in limbo, too. It just went on for years. Years of one nightmare. Reporter as happens, rachael became old news and the case receded from the headlines. Fresh cases demanded the attention of detective jackie nichols. No problem, she took to looking for rachael on her days off. As you look around here you can see the vastness of the countryside here and all the various places that you could conceal a body. And going up into the mountains, coulees and gorges. Mountains, ravines. We even did some searches based on psychic visions and dreams. Reporter oh, really . Rachaels family, at as much of a dead end as the cops, also turned desperately to the supernatural. We did some pretty extreme things to find her. I even got hypnotized, once, to try to communicate with my mom, not alive, to have her to tell me where she was. I did everything i could possibly do.
