Welcome back. a gold ring found at the wayne and sharmon stock double murder scene led investigators to two wisconsin teenagers, jessica reid and greg fester. why would they have been at the scene of a crime committed hundreds of miles away in nebraska? remember, police had already arrested two men for the killings. but they needed to know, could reid and fester have been involved? with more of our story, here is keith morris. spring arrived. the stock farm turned from brown to green. and wayne and sharmon s children struggled the best they could to put their lives back in place. they both wanted us to strive for so much more and said, you know, you can always do better. reporter: and so they may not have noticed so much the riddle that sprouted along with the corn. two towns, murdock, nebraska, beaver dam, wisconsin, more than 500 miles apart. ....
Ryan. it wasn t love always and the ring was soon gathering dust in the cab of ryan s red pickup truck. then, the strangest thing happened. the truck was reported stolen from ryan s farm a few days before off nebraska. really nothing more than a standard missing vehicle. reporter: jim roarer was then a detective back in dodge county, wisconsin. when the call came in, it suggested some local joy ride, they d find it nearby. instead, what a surprise. our dispatch had received confirmation from a parish down in louisiana that they had the stolen truck. reporter: stolen in wisconsin and abandoned way down in louisiana. that s a long way to go. what did you think? a couple kids on a joy ride. somebody taking it that needed to get back down south for whatever reason. reporter: it wasn t long before they fingered the suspected thieves. there were two of them. the guy was greg fester, age 19, ....
the absolute truth is i was never on the scene. i don t know if nick is the actual person involved in this. i ve been just making things up to satisfy you guys. reporter: how long was that second tape withheld? and by whom? months and months and months after because he said those things the day after his confession. right. i don t know that nick is involved in this because we never i mean, you can check my phone records. we never talked on thursday or friday about this. and the only reason i picked him out of that crowd was i heard through the grapevine that his brother s car was used. what are you telling me this now for? what do you think will accomplish now? nothing. i m just trying to come clean, i mean. reporter: now, that was a bombshell. livers own attorney had never been told by authorities that he d recanted his confession. ....
reporter: jessica was all of 17. did she wonder why the wisconsin cop was joined by investigators from nebraska? i really want to know what nebraska has to do with this? because i don t think we even entered nebraska. reporter: didn t go to nebraska, didn t know anything about a gold ring, she said. she and fester just stole a truck, she said, and fueled by pot and massive doses of over-the-counter cough syrup, went off in search of the ocean before running out of gas and money and leaving that pickup truck in louisiana. but then they showed her a picture of a marijuana pipe, which, along with the gold ring, turned up at the stock farmhouse. and jessica reid s mantle began to crack. okay. i did steal i stole a whole bunch of money from somebody. i don t know who, i don t know where. i just remember stealing a whole bunch of money. yes, we did lose that pipe when they stole this money. reporter: reid then blurted it out. at this farmhouse, now ....
And that, a few weeks later, is where the ring came in. that s when roarer got a call from nebraska, heard how that ling turned up at the scene of a double murder, heard how they tracked it back to the walmart in beaver dam and then to cori and ryan and the stolen truck. that must have been a shocker to get that information, to have it cross your desk. a huge shocker. that pretty much sends a chill down your spine. reporter: what was going on? how were these two teenagers, reid and fester, tied to the murders of wayne and sharmon stock? or were they at all? an interrogation of one of the teens provides a chilling first glimpse of what may have happened inside that farmhouse. coming up so i freaked out and left because obviously that guy s up there killing somebody. when in the dead of night continues. ....
