Thinking so what. fbi will be here, they told me 24 hours, they ll have me out of here. morning turned into afternoon turned into evening. the cavalry still hadn t arrived. this was hard time at its hardest. you can t see if it is day or night because you re in the hole. you can tell what time of day it is by the meal. breakfast lunch dinner. then breakfast, lunch, i am thinking where are these guys? my thoughts were they did me wrong. they got what they needed, got 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. coming up. they lost you. they lost me. but had they also lost their best chance at finding the body of tricia reitler? when dateline continues. when dateline continues at chevy, we re all about bringing families together. this time of year, that s really important.
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. coming up. a disturbing discovery. has jimmy keene solved the mystery of the missing girls? i go what are these things anyways. he said they watch over the dead, jimmy, they do. when dateline continues. when dateline continues sup. sup. yeah, and he wanted someone to help out with chores. so, we got jean-pierre. but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with renters insurance.
Chairs and beat him to a pulp. hall had a ring side-view of saturday night s main event. afterward, he staunchly defended him as retaliator, not when prison officials interview eyewitnesses about the tv room brawl. you are his best friend? yes. 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 eventually for me to crack into his psyche. even though the goal was tricia s body, jimmy decided to ask first about something already public knowledge. hall s conviction in the jessie roach case. jimmy fibbed his mother lived near wabash and read about jessie s case and other stories involving hall.
tricia had walked to an off-campus super market and never returned to her dorm. now nearly 25 years later, her parents are still waiting. we have no answer. that is 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 i knew 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 minutes from indiana wesleyan, he had been identified chasing two co-eds there just a week after tricia went missing. so in the summer of 1995, a month after convicting hall for jessie roach s murder, beaumont was leading a search for tricia. it was in those same indiana backwoods where hall had told
People typically don t admit murder, sexual assaults and murders to police officers unless in fact they probably have done it, so it was clear we felt he was responsible for the tricia reitler disappearance. she had such a zest for life, and she would walked in the room and everybody knew she was there. tricia reitler, a 19-year-old psych major at indiana wesleyan university was on her way to becoming a family counselor. her goal was to put families back together again. then in march 1993, donna and gary reitler got that late night phone call every parent dreads. 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.
