Killing Fields (2016) s01e03 Episode Script

The Last Witness

1 I want to find out who brutally murdered Eugenie Boisfontaine and threw her in a raggedy-ass ditch like a piece of trash.
You know, you're supposed to be retired, but you're not.
I live to work.
My wives they had to suffer.
DNA is gonna be your key piece of evidence.
We got our work cut out for us.
I'm looking for a murder weapon.
Ah.
Look at that.
I could kill somebody with this.
Did Eugenie have a boyfriend? I did not know of anyone specific.
There's a possibility that Eugenie's killer could've been a lover.
Relationships go bad all the time, and in the heat of the moment, homicides happen.
And she said that she was dating a guy called Robert.
Did she say anything in particular about Robert? Helping her get ready for a date with Robert, and she wouldn't give my mom any kind of information about him, where they were going.
That was the night before she went missing.
We're gonna find Robert if it's the last thing we do.
walk on the water eyes up before the drum You know, a detective never retires.
I tried to, but I was still thinking about cases that I've worked that I didn't solve.
The victim Eugenie Boisfontaine Presumably snatched near the lsu lakes.
When you're a cop, you can go to bed and put your head on a pillow.
You don't sleep half the time.
'Cause you're always looking back.
A violent death Blunt-force trauma Still remains a mystery.
The cases you don't solve Will haunt you till the day you die.
The victim in this case, her name is Eugenie Boisfontaine.
She's a young lady that was brutally murdered June the 13th, 1997.
I found her body in bayou Manchac in the killing field over there.
The sheriff's office today, compared to 1997, it's no comparison.
Like black and white.
Back then, we had absolutely nothing No manpower, not even half of the technology we have today.
There's no way in the damn world we shouldn't solve this case today.
We got a name now.
It's the best we had in a long time.
Robert.
Two weeks before she disappeared, she said that she was dating a guy called Robert.
She wouldn't give my mom any kind of information about him, where they were going.
That was the night before she went missing.
Robert Living, breathing on this earth.
We have to find him.
If he's in the graveyard, I'm gonna find that tombstone.
I'm working an 18-year-old homicide case.
She was murdered in 1997 and dumped in my parish.
We found out that Eugenie went on a date with a guy by the name of Robert.
Was going through the case file, and I'm looking at the caller-i.
D.
Numbers.
It's a needle in a haystack right now to find a Robert.
We don't have a last name, nor do we even have a description.
We're calling through the numbers that were stored on Eugenie's caller I.
D.
To see if we can come up with a guy named Robert.
When you got a lead like this, you got to grind, grind, grind, grind.
Guy by the name of Robert ever work here? If I could just throw a name at somebody that was employed there in '97, they may have known her.
Eugenie.
Yes, ma'am.
No, all right.
Thank you, ma'am.
Bye-bye.
In cold cases, you know, dead ends are more common than leads.
You know, sometimes you get so mad and angry, the case will eat you up sometimes.
I want Aubrey to do everything he can on this case.
But I don't want Aubrey to let this case [Bleep.]
up his family like it did mine.
Good.
Come on.
Don't look over there.
Look over here.
Find the ball and send it back where it came from.
Good.
It's difficult to work homicide investigations and balance that in between your son, you know? You got a hole in your glove.
Yeah, I actually do.
Maybe Santa will bring you a new one.
Them say, "oh, you got to go to work again," or, "you could be there for my game.
" I turn it off and give him what he deserves A loving, caring father.
Gonna work on keeping an eye on the ball, striding to the ball, hitting the ball out in front of the plate, all right? I enjoy my job, and I love my family.
Didn't y'all get that guy who murdered that lady? Don't worry about it, all right? Solving Eugenie's case It's taken a toll on my son.
He's always asking me, as soon as he sees me, "did you catch the bad guy yet?" "Not yet.
" "Where is he at?" And I got to tell him, "he's far away," so he doesn't feel imminent danger.
You ready to play tomorrow? Mm-hmm.
Who's my best friend? Me.
That's right.
Give me a kiss.
Let's go.
Get your bag.
We have a name Robert And a possible murder weapon.
You ready to test this thing, see if it's the murder weapon? I'm glad we're doing this.
How awesome would it be if we did have the two? I mean, 18 years later, to come up with the actual murder weapon And look, if it is, then that's gonna narrow down our search.
There's farmers all up in that area.
Could be narrowed down to a certain amount of people.
Instead of going to do a hundred interviews, we might have to do five.
If that's our murder weapon, it damn sure ain't no household item you can go buy out of a store like Walmart or something.
I know what that's for.
I've seen them before.
That's used by farmers for hitching up horses.
That's the only person would have something like that.
You know, this was found at the site where the victim was found, and it was found, I think, under several inches of soil.
What do we got? It's blunt.
It could be used.
This could be the weapon, man.
Part of the goal here today is to perhaps see if it could make an injury that has this shape or if we're looking for, perhaps, a smaller object that might have made that wound.
What we are seeing here was a blow with great impact.
So much energy was expended that it not only broke the outer layer of the skull, but it also fractured the inner table.
Ronnie's gonna deliver a blow to the pig head to try to duplicate the wound.
Because of the shape of the skull, I think that we should try to get the flattest part.
One of the reasons for using a pig is that they are great models for humans because physiologically, they're a lot like humans, and they have the hair there that could also be a cushioning factor for any type of injury.
It would soften the blow somewhat.
Yes, the hair would soften the blow.
You ready? Grace: Yeah.
I don't see any trauma, which is interesting.
Nothing? Yeah, but certainly nothing that looks like that photo.
Not at all.
But we also wanted to try a hammer because this wound is so specific, and it's rounded.
So we try it with the hammer and see what the difference would be.
oh, yeah.
that kind of destroyed the skull.
See, this bone here is all fragmented.
Which is indicative of that.
Similar to that.
It's got that central break.
Eerily similar.
Wow.
Whoever did that to Eugenie, just one hit.
She had on a man's shirt with no underclothes on.
Fini might be the last person that seen her alive.
Next move, we got to get Robert.
I have nothing to hide.
I think you are.
Something dead.
Think that's a kid? I don't know if I can deal, bro.
Pull.
Hoo This was found at the site where the victim was found.
Part of the goal here today is to perhaps see if it could make an injury that has this shape.
I'm gonna give it a pop, and we'll see what's gonna happen.
It didn't even crack the skull.
It didn't even make a mark in the skull.
That tool I don't think could possibly be the one.
Looking at the case, not quite sure what frustrates me the most.
That weapon would've been a huge break in the case.
You had this centralized crack.
There are no radial fractures coming out from it, and that's very consistent with a hammer or something like a hammer that has this flat surface.
With a piece of farm equipment like that, we was hoping to narrow our search.
Now the damn search done blew up.
I see Aubrey involved in this case.
He's going down a rabbit hole like I did, and that's gonna eat him up like cancer.
What's happening with the house? You got it? I got to go sign some papers, and I'm gonna look at it for the first frickin' time.
You bought a house you hadn't even seen yet? My wife, Leda, and I are buying a house.
I think I got a house on every corner in Plaquemine, and I think I done been through every woman that practically lived in Plaquemine.
I've either been married to them or I know they family, one or the other.
The God's truth I've seen five pictures of it on my phone, and I've never seen the house.
The house.
In South Louisiana.
Never have walked I don't have one, 'cause I gave mine to the kids, but I got a big sucker for you.
Rodie, you gonna take that? You can suck suck my ass! Full of termites! Full of termites! "Thank you!" Cha-ching! I done had it inspected, brother.
I have a great wife now, but I hope there ain't number seven.
But if there is, I'll invite you to the wedding.
What's up, guys? What's you say, Maj? Nicole's got Bruce Bennett.
Used to work for Baton Rouge P.
D.
He was the detective who did the missing-persons report when Eugenie first went missing, before we found her in the bayou.
They were working on this case pretty heavy at one time.
I want to ask him if he knows Robert.
Hello? Hey, Bruce.
Want to pass something on to you.
We reopened this case on Eugenie Boisfontaine.
Sounds familiar to you? Oh, yeah, definitely.
I remember.
Well, Bruce, have you ever heard of anybody by the name of Robert that Eugenie may have been seeing? No, I don't remember anything on that.
You got anything on this case that could possibly help us out? Well, it's been quite a while.
It's been, what Almost 20 years, isn't it? Yeah, it's been a while.
Uh, let me think.
Uh only that wow.
I like that.
Do you think we could get our hands on notes you have from your original investigation? Thank you, man.
All right, man.
All right, let's go find the lawnmower guy.
And then, when his case notes come in, we'll see if there's anything else in there that may lead us to a Robert.
All right, guys.
Let me know something.
Thank you, major.
Y'all be careful.
Yeah, that's him.
Let's not forget about the two, maybe three DNAs that we have.
Robert could have some good friends that's accomplices that's involved in this murder, too.
See you when we get back, Les.
All right.
Good luck, y'all.
Thank you.
We need to find this guy.
Then we find this Robert.
I got a little dirt on your carpet.
Is that okay? Jump out.
I believe you.
Man A clean car is a happy car.
I'm scared just to touch something in this son of a bitch, man.
Ooh.
Lord have mercy.
You talk to Eugenie's ex-husband? Yeah.
Aubrey St.
Angelo, homicide division.
We are reopening your ex-wife's case, and I'd like to speak with you.
He was pleasant, but he said he wanted to talk to his lawyer.
Talk to his lawyer? Yes, sir.
Sooner or later, he's gonna have to come see us.
Mike? Like to talk to you a minute, sir.
Detective Rodie Sanchez, Iberville parish.
Aubrey St.
Angelo.
Aubrey.
Mr.
Becnel, we're working a cold case that happened 1997, a girl by the name of Eugenie Boisfontaine.
I don't know if you remember.
I know very well.
Okay.
I knew her very well.
You knew her.
Okay.
You can come to our office and talk or Yeah, sure.
Appreciate it.
Thank you, Mr.
Becnel.
When a witness wants to be cooperative with you on the case, most of the time, I think, "they don't have anything to hide.
" But always remember something They may be the person you're looking for.
You ready? sorry for the wait, Mr.
Becnel.
It's all right.
how long did you do her lawn care? About a year and a half.
The deal I had with her is, she wanted her yard done every 10 days or something like that, or every 2 weeks.
You know, you were probably the last person to see Eugenie, 'cause I can tell you, on the 13th, you went to her residence in 1997 that day she come up missing.
That particular day, did you actually lay eyes on her, or are you just mowing and left? I talked to her that day.
She had on a man's shirt with no underclothes on No brazier, no panties.
And I'm thinking to myself, "what is this woman doing?" You saw her vagina? You knew she didn't have underpants on? Well, I mean, I wasn't I mean, you could see I mean, you catch a glimpse, you catch a glimpse.
You catch a glimpse, you catch a glimpse.
But that's what you saw? Yeah.
Strange.
I'm gonna ask you, and you can tell me to kiss my ass off, go to hell or whatnot.
You sure you didn't slip back and kind of want to be interested in her, have some kind of relationship with her? Thought never entered my mind.
Sure about that? The thought never entered my mind.
Do you know a guy named Robert? Mnh-mnh.
I never saw a male around that house.
You have anyone employed with you or just you? It was another young man working with me by the name of Brent Brent was a little firecracker.
He would work without a shirt on.
And that's why I couldn't understand why Eugenie would be peeking through the window, looking at him.
I wouldn't be in the backyard, but Brent told me, "I saw Eugenie peeking through the window at me in the backyard.
" It was like you could cut the tension with a knife.
I mean, you could tell there was some Some animosity towards men.
There was something there.
There was something there.
I need a Brent Any Brent I want whoever in Louisiana named Brent [Bleep.]
Right now.
'97 versus 2015, we've got more manpower, we've got more resources, we have more technology.
I did find him.
Hold on.
You got a phone number for him, Jeremy? It's pulling up.
Picture.
Sweet.
Brent? Who's this? Look, man, I'm a detective with the sheriff's office.
Did you used to work for a lawn service back in '97, dude? All right, yeah, okay.
Look, man, the reason I'm calling you is because you guys used to cut some grass for a lady who came up missing and turned out to be a homicide.
And I'd just like to get with you and talk to you about that job y'all used to do.
Yeah, right on the lakes.
That's what I want to talk to you about, dude.
Could you come to the courthouse and talk to me? Let me call you back and give you a good time.
Okay.
Bye.
okay.
It's concerning that he only remembers cutting the yard maybe once.
This case is really It's starting to get to me.
You wake up thinking about it, you drive to work thinking about it.
It's totally infected me.
Her killer's out there.
I can feel it.
He's lying.
He's covering something.
I don't know why.
I just got a phone call.
Behind that church is a horrible-ass smell.
Something dead.
Man, I hope that ain't a kid.
Don't look good.
Hoo.
Dude.
You have anyone employed with you or just you? He was another young man working with me by the name of Brent [Bleep.]
Brent [Bleep.]
Is here.
We need to go ahead and talk to him.
He was the guy who worked with the lawn guy.
Let's go ahead and get him in an interview room, see what he's got to say.
Hi, Brent.
How you doing? Rodie Sanchez.
We are investigating a homicide.
You were working for Mr.
Becnel? Yes, correct.
How long you work for him? You see this residence? Y'all contracted with this particular yard.
She wanted it mowed every two weeks.
I never cut the yard before.
You never cut it? No, sir.
that's hard for me to believe.
Well, sir, I'm telling you the truth.
Telling you the truth.
I don't remember the yard, and from what I remember, we cut the yard one time.
I don't remember cutting this yard Well, you just got done saying, "I don't remember the yard," and then you said, "we cut it one time.
" Did Mr.
Becnel have a bad memory? Mr.
Becnel stated that while you was cutting the backyard, you remember her peeping through the blinds looking at you.
Brent told me, "I saw Eugenie peeking through the window" at me in the backyard.
" You don't remember that, either? No, sir.
What would you wear when you cut the grass? Tank top, shorts.
You was working out back then? You used to lift weights? I lifted a little bit.
The thing I can't [Bleep.]
believe is you gonna sitting here and tell me you don't remember that house.
I can't tell you something that I don't remember.
You can tell when someone's lying.
They have their own special way of acting.
You can see them twitching.
You know, 'cause you been there at least over 20 times.
That's what I that's what I can't [Bleep.]
believe.
And when you see signs like that, that's when you know you're getting to them, and that's when you better stay on their ass and you better push hard then.
You don't give them time to breathe.
You remember one particular time, and you went there, I know, at least 20 times.
Where did y'all park when y'all pulled in this driveway? That I remember, we always parked in front of the houses.
You caught that? He says, "where we always parked.
" You only went there once.
Right.
Are you afraid you may be in trouble? What is that? What you afraid of? Do we make you nervous? No, you don't.
I'm just trying to answer your questions.
I appreciate you answering, but we're just hoping you're answering correct.
would you submit to a DNA sample? Reference sample? Sure.
I appreciate it.
We're gonna step out for a minute.
I'm gonna get a detective to come in and do that, and we'll be right back with you.
You watching this [Bleep.]
Yeah.
I want to talk to him just for a second.
There you go.
I'm gonna see if I can And don't tell him you're gonna break him.
I'm detective Bradford.
I'm the one that set up the meeting with you today, okay? We can't hold him for lying, so At least we just submit his DNA and see where it takes us.
people in this business are gonna lie to you.
Sometimes, you never can get the truth out of them.
And back then, we didn't have DNA, but now we do.
So, you know, all I can do now is wait.
Hey, Brent, how you doing, man? Hey.
Hey, my name is Ronnie Hebert.
Nice to meet you.
Look, I'm a detective here.
I'm the major over the criminal investigations at the sheriff's office.
So, you remember it being gray, the house? Okay, how can you remember the house being gray when you only cut it one time? he's lying.
He's covering something.
I don't know why.
I like it.
I don't care what he's hiding, but I like it.
So, now we got to get on the hunt for Robert.
Of all names, Robert.
Now, how many Roberts you think they got living in east Baton Rouge? We don't even have a last name.
Gonna be a hell of a task.
You know, it could've been worse, though.
Well, how? 'Cause there is more common names.
The name Robert isn't even in the Bible.
Hmm.
Yeah, probably when we do find a Robert, will probably be Robert Smith, and they have 10,000 of them.
Hey, Rodie? Let me see you.
Yes, sir.
I just got a phone call from somebody saying that Ebenezer church in St.
Gabriel Behind that church is a horrible-ass smell.
They said looked like on the ground is fresh dirt.
That don't sound good.
Give me a call as soon as you can find something.
We will, Maj.
All right, thank you.
In this job, you never, ever know what's coming your way.
You could be working a cold case one day, and the next day, a fresh body.
Juggling back and forth, that's part of this job.
Not knowing what's coming, that's what makes this dadgone job so addictive.
It's like a frickin' drug.
Ebenezer church.
That ain't too far from where Eugenie's body was found.
St.
Angelo: No [Bleep.]
And another girl was found there in 2002.
Pray to God right now we ain't gonna find another one.
finding a body out in the field, you don't have any I.
D.
All you know is it's somebody's child, somebody's husband, somebody's wife.
You have to care, but then you have to push that aside sometimes.
This is a hell of a place just to dump a body, right? Yeah, they don't care where they dump them.
Let's see if we can find the area he was talking about.
I don't smell anything.
You? No, but hold on.
Look at that.
It's kind of beat down right here.
I understand what you're seeing.
It goes back here.
They got a complete path back here.
this area we got down here, perfectly an ideal spot for dumping a body.
swamps and the bugs and the animals can eat up all your evidence.
But it's something we got to deal with down here.
mother nature can be a [Bleep.]
bitch when it comes to working a crime down here.
Right here.
Look here.
What you see? Bring your camera.
We'll photograph it, and then we'll go process it after, see what we got.
See where? I see what you're talking about.
Back up.
Like a little fresh grave site.
All right, we need to back out, rope this place up.
Go get all our tape.
You gonna call it in? I'm gonna call it in.
Okay? To mentally prepare for a murder scene and not let it consume me, you have to pretty much become numb.
And at the end of the day, when you go back home, you got to file that away.
uh-oh.
I hit something.
Something in a plastic We got ants.
hold on.
Let me get this off of it.
All right.
I smell it now, Aubrey.
Smell it? Phew! Get your camera.
Take a photograph when I open it up.
Just don't look [Bleep.]
Something dead.
Ebenezer church.
That ain't too far from where Eugenie's body was found.
pray to God right now we ain't gonna find another one.
Well, what we do is leave it.
If we come across something, like a skull or bone fragment from a human or anything, we'll dispatch the officers and let them process it.
We'll just go ahead and see what we come up with first.
Something dead, Aubrey.
Damn, Aubrey.
Pull it while I hold it.
Pull.
Hoo.
Open it up.
Go ahead, open it.
Maggots.
Take a picture of your maggots.
got a dead dog.
Thank goodness.
I'll get a hold of him.
Here you go.
I got a picture.
Photograph.
Photograph of him with the dog.
We got lucky this time.
You never know what you're gonna find in these killing fields down here.
We didn't get lucky the day we got a call about Eugenie's body.
That's Leda, calling about the house.
You know, I still ain't seen that house.
I'll just call her back later.
I think you need to update that ringtone.
You know they make songs and stuff you can put on your phone now? Songs? Do your home phone ring with songs and all, too? I don't have a home phone.
When I was born, all there was ring-ring.
Why I need somebody to hear music? If I want to hear music, I'll go listen to a band.
I don't need to hear it on my phone.
A song on my phone.
Mnh-mnh-mnh.
Man, it was a grave that somebody buried their dog.
Oh, okay.
Do you think we could get our hands on notes you have from your original investigation? Cool, but I'm not heading back to the office.
I'm going to take will over to play in his tournament this weekend.
All right, dude.
Later.
I'm very proud of Aubrey.
I want him to take care of one thing His family first, his job second.
I don't want Aubrey to let this case [Bleep.]
up his family like it did mine.
Several of them.
Hey, Rodie, I got an e-mail from detective Bennett.
It's the initial missing-persons report.
Hey, you find out anything on those files about Robert? No, nothing on a Robert.
But found a taxi company that she used a lot, called fini tax.
Owner of it was an Ali fini.
By the time that she came up missing, he actually waved to her from the taxi.
So, I mean, he could've been one of the last people ever to see her.
He doesn't own the cab company no more.
But it shows him applying for a license to sell gas products, so it looks like he owns some kind of gas station.
But it doesn't give me a friggin' address.
Texaco? Exxon? No, it's independent.
It shows independent on it.
Just go ahead and get a list for me of the stations, and we'll track it down.
We'll find him.
Aubrey's gone for a couple days.
I need somebody to come and knock on some doors.
You know, we got to track this Ali fini guy down.
He has to know something about Robert.
That's what we need to find out.
that high-speed chase? I know what you're talking about.
I told you, "slow down," and I put that gun to your head.
"Now, if you don't slow down" I was trying to do that maneuver, man.
Yeah.
I could've opened his trunk reaching out the window.
Yeah, we caught him.
At one time, my old brother-in-law, Mike Sparks We worked a lot of good cases together.
We solved a lot of good cases.
I call him "brother-in-law" because we were married to sisters at one time.
We really were, but We had a great working relationship, and we have a great friendship.
I need your help, buddy.
What you need, man? Come back and work on a case with me.
Eugenie Boisfontaine.
You remember that? Yes, indeed, I do.
I know how many cases me and you solved.
You remember the name Mr.
fini when we worked the Eugenie case? I don't remember that name.
we need to find him.
I always said I had two families My wife and them guys that I worked with.
I got old brother-in-law Mike coming out of retirement to help me find Mr.
fini.
We're gonna go back on the streets and knock on doors.
Ain't gonna be sitting at no computer, behind some desk.
I guarantee you that.
You glad I brought you back? I just can't believe you back, but, hey, bring back old memories, huh? Well, I had to come back.
I just feel like my job's not through.
What you say, Lee? We trying to find a guy down here in Baton Rouge, Lee.
That's today? Reschedule tomorrow morning, I'll be there.
Ask him right now if we can do it tomorrow.
Ask him.
I'll be there.
Okay, I got to go.
Bye.
So, y'all are looking for a house, huh, man? Yeah, she understands what I want to do and how much this means to me.
But yeah, she'd rather me be at home or trying to find this house for her, you know? It ain't like you ain't had plenty of houses before.
It ain't like I had plenty of wives before, either.
Who the [Bleep.]
is we looking for here? Ali fini.
I talked to one of the detectives worked the case.
They interviewed him years ago.
Fini said the day she come up missing that he passed by and waved at her in the yard.
So, fini might be the last person that seen her alive.
We're gonna find that bitch.
Let's try this one, man.
It might be the one.
Let's go see.
Might be.
Might not be, but we're gonna find out, ain't we? - How you doing, sir? - How's it going? Detective Sanchez, Iberville parish sheriff's office.
Detective Sparks.
Mike Sparks.
How you doing? We're working a cold case murder case.

Or does he own the store? No, sir.
