Mom, let me in.
Proudly Presents Season 2 Episode 03 Stacy Crandall, 17, high school senior.
Found 6:00 A.
M.
this morning in Garfield park, raped and unconscious.
Enough ecstasy and diazepam in her system to kill her.
Is she going to make it? By some miracle, looks like she is.
She's in the hospital.
Her parents are with her.
Ecstasy and diazepam? Was she drugged? Possibly.
Last seen around a quarter to 2:00, leaving a neighbor's birthday party, looking a little woozy.
Blood alcohol indicates she had one or two drinks.
So somebody might have slipped something in her drink.
Or maybe she self-medicated.
- And birthday boy's a suspect? - Tim Sexton.
Lives a few blocks away.
Stacy called the Sextons' house.
She was locked out.
Missed her curfew.
Her parents locked her out? Are you serious? Parents did it to me.
Why am I not surprised? Right after she called him, Sexton got in his suv and left.
Nosy parker neighbor saw him go.
Presumably to pick her up.
Back ten minutes later.
Drove directly into the garage.
Neighbor couldn't see if Stacy was with him or not.
But she did see him make another round trip a couple hours later.
That one took an hour.
This time to dump the body.
- Presumably.
- Dna? Came up negative, ditto the scene where the victim was left.
Can we put Stacy in his suv? Clean as a whistle.
But I'll tell you what they did find.
A partial print from Sexton off Stacy's necklace, and dog chains which matched the ligature marks on the girl's body.
And Sexton doesn't have a dog.
It isn't much.
Does Sexton have an alibi? His wife says he was with her all night.
For what that's worth.
- Have they searched the house? - Yeah.
Nothing.
Look, we know maybe the cops have jumped the gun on this one, but they were going with their gut.
This guy did it.
Yeah, well, their gut's giving me a stomachache.
We have 72 hours before we have to charge Sexton or release him.
When she came home from their party, your daughter was locked out.
She missed her curfew.
We couldn't stay up any longer so we went to bed.
You didn't hear her knocking? We woke up.
We figured we'd leave her out there a few minutes.
Teach her a lesson.
Five minutes tops, and we went down to the door, she was gone.
Thought she went back to the Sextons', so we called over there and there was no answer.
How does Stacy know the Sextons? Best friends with Kelly's little sister.
So she got to know Kelly pretty well.
She's not that much older than Stacy.
Kelly's sister at the party? Lexie? No.
She passed away a year ago.
It was an accident.
Tim and Kelly's engagement party, of all things.
Cold medication.
She wasn't supposed to be drinking.
How well do you know the Sextons? Not well.
Neighbors, you know.
All the kids are really crazy about them.
They're such an attractive couple.
Are you sure? Physical exam confirms you were raped.
Why'd you leave the party? I I started to feel kind of weird, you know.
Like dizzy.
Too much to drink? I I don't think so.
But you had diazepam and ecstasy in your system.
I don't do drugs.
Honest.
Why'd you call the Sextons? I wanted Kelly to come pick me up.
Did you talk to her? Tim answered I think.
I don't I don't really remember.
I'm sorry.
I thought you might want these back.
This isn't mine.
You were wearing it when you came in, sweetie.
- A toe ring? - It's yours, honey.
You don't remember anything about the assault, anything at all? No.
Nothing.
Do the police have any idea who did this? Your parents didn't tell you? They arrested Tim Sexton.
It couldn't be Tim.
I don't believe it.
Why would he do this to me? This is so bogus.
You spoke to my wife, she told you.
I was home all night.
After the party, we went to bed and went to sleep.
Whoever attacked Stacy is still out there.
I doubt that.
How's Stacy doing? Is she going to be okay? No thanks to you.
She called your number shortly after 2:00 A.
M.
I was sound asleep.
Maybe she left a message.
A few minutes after that, one of your neighbors saw you drive off.
Some of my neighbors have overactive imaginations.
Ten minutes later you were back.
Enough time to pick up Stacy and bring her back to your house.
Did this neighbor see Stacy with Tim when he supposedly returned from this mysterious late-night mission? He drove directly into the garage.
Are you honestly trying to sell that scenario? He brought somebody home to rape with his wife sleeping in the next room? A couple hours later, a neighbor, still awake, sees you drive off again.
This round trip takes an hour.
Enough time to dump Stacy Crandall in Garfield park and leave her for dead.
This neighbor's word against my wife's.
You don't have anything, counselor.
Either charge my client or let him go.
He's staying under lock and key.
That's how long you got before I walk out of here.
I know how this works.
You're going to haveto let me walk.
Turns out Tim Sexton guy.
No wonder he knew the drill.
He's definitely been here before.
Five in Iowa, six in Dallas Busy boy.
If he did what the authorities suspect him of doing either he's been laying low since he moved here two years ago serial rapists don't usually just give up their favorite pastime Or we have other victims in Indianapolis.
We've been talking to authorities in Dallas and Ames, Iowa.
Sexton was suspected of drugging and raping teenage girls in both locales.
But never charged? Each time they moved away, rapes with this particular M.
O.
Ecstasy, diazepam combo, bondage Suddenly stopped.
Any sign he's been active previously in Indianapolis? Ray's analyzing all unsolved rapes and rape-homicides since Sexton's been in town.
- How long has he been married? - A little over a year.
She's a local girl.
They met and married here.
I wonder how much she knows about her new husband I don't know what else to tell you, Miss Chase.
Tim was with me all night.
How much did your husband tell you about his past before he moved to Indianapolis? Everything.
Did he tell you he was the primary suspect in nearly a dozen rapes the last two places he lived? I know my husband.
He never could have done anything like that.
He was questioned extensively by the police on a number of occasions.
- Was he ever arrested? - No.
Then he didn't do it.
We think he did.
And so do the authorities in Dallas and Iowa.
Kelly please just talk to me.
Tell me what you know.
What really happened that night? What did Tim do when he left the house? I told you, Tim didn't leave me the whole night.
We both know he did.
When Stacy called, he went and got her, didn't he? You don't understand.
It's not that easy.
How close are we to charging this punk? Ray's still looking at open cases.
Mrs.
Sexton's sticking to her story.
I think she's afraid of him.
Battered spouse? Ed's looking for any emergency room visits in the last year.
We'll offer her protection in exchange for testifying.
Her testimony could put us over the top.
We could charge Sexton and convict him.
Battered spouses make fragile witnesses.
If Kelly falters, we'll have an expert witness standing by who'll explain why.
I've already made an appointment with dr.
Ashland to profile Tim Sexton.
I'll talk to her about Kelly as well.
I've prosecuted tons of these cases in Manhattan.
Guys like Sexton are cowards and bullies.
I've always taken a personal satisfaction in seeing them locked up.
I'm saying a hail Mary.
You're my sixth stop today.
There you go.
Sexton Kelly.
You got lucky.
- She lives clear across town.
- Typical.
Doesn't want friends, family, neighbors to know her hubby's using her for a punching bag.
Dislocated shoulder, lacerations, abrasions.
Waterskiing accident.
Fell off a horse.
Dislocated same shoulder, lacerations and black eye.
Yeah, I remember her.
Thought her story was hinky.
Doctor tried to talk to her about it, but her husband was hanging around.
She couldn't wait to get out of here.
Here you go, last batch.
Let's see what you got.
Female caucasian, 25 years old, drugged, raped, strangled.
Uh, he prefers bondage to strangulation.
A little older than he likes.
What about young kids? That's not our guy.
He goes for older teens.
Cherry-picks them all.
Dark hair, slender.
This might be one of his.
"Jody Tarnowski, 19, drugged, lethal levels of ecstasy and diazepam, raped, body dumped in wooded area".
Dr.
Ashton, I understand why a rapist would use a date-rape drug like a roofie.
It's called antrigrade amnesia.
The victim doesn't recall being raped, so she doesn't report it to the police.
But the rapist we have in custody drugged his victim to the point of nearly killing her.
The doctors tell us she must have been completely unconscious at the time of the assault.
Now you're talking about something different.
Sleeping beauty syndrome.
Having sex with someone while they're unconscious? Believe it or not.
How does anybody end up hardwired that way? Well, the sexual thrill for the rapist comes from being able to possess the victim completely.
He can do whatever he wants to her and she won't offer any resistance.
Like sleeping beauty, only the guy isn't exactly trying to wake her with a kiss.
Hardly.
Waking her would only ruin the experience.
Okay, one thing I don't understand.
This rapist, if it's the same guy, has attacked a number of women, but he's never tried to kill his victim before.
Why the escalation? Could be he's become desensitized and he needs to add a greater element of danger to achieve the same thrill.
In which case, there's no going back.
None.
Jody Tarnowski, 19, rape-homicide.
Same M.
O.
as past valentine's day.
Last seen by a friend getting a ride from a good-looking stranger who fits the general description of Tim Sexton.
Every parent's nightmare.
Raped, bound, diazepam-ecstasy overdose, body dumped in Riverside park, no DNA.
Locate the friend.
See if she can I.
D.
Sexton from a photo.
Excuse me, Miss Chase.
You have a visitor in reception.
Kelly, hi.
I was thinking about what you said about those other girls.
I'm so glad you came.
I'm not sure I should be here.
This is probably a really bad idea.
Wait.
Please don't leave.
Kelly, you're doing the right thing.
Wait for who? We can help you.
What do you mean? We saw the emergency room reports.
Yeah, well, I'm kind of accident-prone.
Only since you've been married? Kelly, do you really want to stay with this man? What happens when you have kids? I just don't know what's going on with him.
He's not who I thought he was.
He's getting more violent every day.
He's starting to scare me.
You need to leave him, Kelly.
Get out of this marriage.
You can't protect me.
He'll find me.
I give you my word.
But I need you to tell me the truth about what happened that night.
Stacy called the house after the party.
Tim picked her up and brought her back to the house, put her on the couch.
She was out of it.
She she'd had too much to drink or something.
I went to go get her a blanket, and when I came back It's okay.
You can tell me.
He had taken her clothes off and he was, you know, on top of her.
He was raping her? Did he know you were there? I think he wanted me to watch what he was doing.
I was just so shocked.
What did you do? When I realized what was happening, I tried to stop it.
I mean I yelled and I screamed and I pounded on his back.
He didn't feel it.
He wouldn't stop.
He was just in this state.
I'd never seen him like that before.
You could have called 911.
He said that he would kill me.
Kelly, we will protect you if you testify against him.
And if I don't? We'll protect you anyway, but it will be a lot harder if he's not in jail.
So we arraigned Sexton this afternoon for the rape and attempted murder of Stacey Crandall.
About time.
New evidence? An eyewitness.
Kelly sexton.
She was there during the attempt? He beat her up when she tried to stop Stacey's rape.
She felt partly to blame.
She wants to testify.
Good.
What about the Tarnowski murder? We're working it.
We're still looking for that witness.
What's your trial strategy for Sexton? We start with Stacey's testimony.
I'm not crazy about putting her on the stand.
Well, we have to use her.
I mean, she's young, sympathetic.
Jury needs to hear from the victim.
She doesn't remember anything about the assault or her attacker.
It leaves her wide open for the defense.
We'll prep her.
Any problems we have with her as a witness, we can offset with Kelly's testimony.
We know the physical evidence can be argued either way but we have a strong expert witness in dr.
Ashton.
And with Kelly's testimony, we go from a toss-up to a slam dunk.
There's no such thing in my experience.
However, f you feel you have to.
But if defense goes after her on cross and they try to put the rape victim on trial, I want you on your feet objecting every step of the way.
Absolutely.
Why did you leave Tim Sexton's birthday party? I started to feel kinda weird.
Like I was gonna be sick.
I went home, but I was locked out, so I called Kelly for a ride.
Did you speak to Kelly? No, Tim answered.
What did you talk about? I don't remember.
Did Kelly come to pick you up? I don't remember.
So the last thing you remember, you made a phone call? Yes, and Tim Sexton answered.
And what's the next thing you remember? Waking up in the hospital.
Thank you.
During the party, did Tim Sexton say anything inappropriate to you? No.
Did he behave inappropriately? No.
Did he touch you in any inappropriate or sexual way? No.
You said you left the Sexton's party because you felt weird.
Well, how many drinks did you have at the party? Objection.
Relevance.
Overruled.
You may answer.
A couple beers.
Who were you drinking with? No one in particular.
Can you tell us when the alleged rape occurred? No, I don't remember.
Because you were drinking? I I was drugged.
You took drugs? Objection.
Counsel is engaged in subtle character assassination.
Goes to credibility, Your Honor.
I'll allow it.
Witness may answer.
Someone gave them to me without me knowing.
Really? Well, how would someone do that? I don't know.
Put them in my drink, I guess.
Diazepam and ecstasy? Yes.
You sure you didn't take them yourself? Objection, Your Honor, asked and answered.
Sustained.
Can you describe your attacker? No.
I was unconscious.
No further questions, Your Honor.
You told the police your husband never left the house the night of his birthday party.
Is that true? No.
You lied to the police.
- I was scared.
- Scared I was scared that Tim would hurt me if I told them the truth.
So did your husband leave the house that night? Around 2:00 A.
M.
After Stacey called, he got up and got dressed.
Did he say where he was going? He said, "Stacey needs a ride.
I'm going to go pick her up".
How long was he gone? And when he came back to the house, was Stacey with him? No.
He said she was gone by the time he got there.
He just thought her parents let her in.
According to a sworn statement you made earlier, your husband picked up Stacey and brought her back to the house.
No.
Mrs.
Sexton, in your sworn deposition, you stated your husband came back to the house with Stacey, who was unconscious, put her on a couch in the den and raped her.
I didn't say that, you did.
You put those words in my mouth.
Mrs.
Sexton, you gave a sworn statement.
Because you pressured me.
I didn't know what to do.
Mrs.
Sexton, you went to emergency rooms where you were treated for suspicious injuries on three separate occasions.
Are you recanting your previous statements because you fear your husband will hurt you again? Objection, Your Honor.
Argumentative.
Assumes facts not in evidence.
Sustained.
In your sworn deposition, you stated your husband threatened to kill you.
Objection, Your Honor.
Asked and answered.
No, he didn't.
He never hurt me.
I already told you what happened.
Well, we knew this could happen.
Our expert will explain what a challenge it is for a battered woman to testify against her husband and help the jury understand why Kelly recanted.
No one can predict what a jury will do, but we have a very strong case.
Thank you.
When Wexler calls his own expert witness to counter dr.
Ashton, they'll cancel each other out.
Dr.
Ashton can give the jury a profile of the sleeping beauty syndrome rapist and how Sexton fits the bill.
And Wexler's expert testifies otherwise.
It's a draw.
Maybe dr.
Ashton doesn't even mention sleeping beauty.
Dr.
Sykes, dr.
Ashton testified that Kelly Sexton's injuries were consistent with physical abuse.
Now, you reviewed the medical records.
In your opinion, are her injuries consistent with what she told her emergency room doctors? Water skiing, horseback riding.
Absolutely consistent.
In your textbook, you give three different profiles of batterers.
Does Tim Sexton fit any of these profiles? No, not at all.
No further questions.
Dr.
Sykes, you're familiar with rapists' profiles? Certainly.
For instance? The anger retaliatory rapist, the power assertive rapist What about the outwardly charming, intelligent rapist? Anger excitation.
Is that the somno Somnophiliac? You're referring to sleeping beauty syndrome? Ah, is that what they call it? Sleeping beauty syndrome is a sexual deviancy involving intercourse with a completely unconscious partner.
Andrew Luster was a notorious example.
The Max Factor heir.
Luster wanted his victims in a coma-like state during sex.
For what purpose? To possess them.
Utterly.
It's a form of playing god.
Doctor, could you give us a profile of the typical sleeping beauty syndrome rapist? A man who uses his charm and physical good looks to disarm and seduce his victims.
A man who's used to getting what he wants from women.
So, he's not a loser or a failure with women? Oh, no, quite the contrary.
Take Luster.
He was incredibly wealthy, good-loooking, he could have had any woman he wanted.
In fact, it was probably too easy for him, so he upped the ante.
Does Tim Sexton fit the profile of the sleeping beauty rapist? Objection.
The witness has already painted a picture of the prototype.
I am only asking for the doctor's expert opinion, - and he is their witness.
- I'll allow it.
You may answer.
I would say that he does.
I swear.
I think the little creep was actually flattered dr.
Sykes said he had sleeping beauty syndrome.
You did a great job getting that in, by the way.
Much more credible coming from their expert than ours.
I don't know.
Wexler had an answer for all the physical evidence.
Well, we knew he would.
It may just come down to how the jury feels about Kelly, whether they believe her sworn deposition - or what she said on the stand.
- Yeah.
I feel badly for Stacy and her parents if we lose this, because Kelly couldn't come through for us.
Nice work, both of you.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
You did your part.
It's too bad Kelly couldn't do hers.
You thought this might happen.
Well, I thought she might falter, you know, forget.
I didn't think she'd out and out recant.
Annabeth Chase.
Thank you.
The jury's back.
"After a great deal of debate and dozens of ballots, we are deadlocked and unable to come to a decision".
I'm declaring a mistrial.
I let you and Stacy down.
It's my fault that Tim is free.
He's not free yet.
He's only out on bond.
We can always try the case again.
No, you can't.
Not if you've already tried him once.
A mistrial isn't an acquittal.
What are you talking about? I thought You thought it was double jeopardy.
No, it's not.
We can start over, bring in new evidence.
What new evidence? There isn't any.
We'll keep looking.
We also suspect him in another case, here in Indianapolis.
Eight months ago, a young woman named Jody Tarnowski.
- He wouldn't - He wouldn't?! Why wouldn't he? We know he's capable of it.
He's done it before.
Kelly, do you know anything about Jody Tarnowski? Of course not.
So, you are going to try him again? Absolutely.
This isn't over.
I thought you'd be pleased.
I I'm just so surprised, I He's gonna lay a lot of pressure on me.
That's why we need you to get away from him and stay away from him.
I will.
It's good that you can try him again.
It really is.
I'm telling you, if she wanted him to walk, she planned to recant her testimony all along.
She was playing us to get her husband acquitted? But her injuries were real.
She didn't fake those.
So what gives? "Oh, my man, I love him so"? Apparently.
You know when she set me up? When I told her we found out he'd been suspected in the other rapes.
She dropped that hint, I ran with it all the way to spousal abuse syndrome and talked her into taking the stand.
She created enough doubt in the jury's mind to get her husband a mistrial.
But why not just stick with the alibi? That's what I've been asking myself.
Why go to such great lengths? Maybe to keep us from focusing on something else.
But what? The guys over in archives finally coughed up the Tarnowski evidence.
Maybe this.
The Tarnowski murder.
She definitely flinched when I brought it up.
And the medical report you've been asking for on Kelly's sister.
What's that about? Stacy's parents told me Kelly Sexton's younger sister died last year.
With all the drugs in this case, I thought it was worth taking another look.
Hmm, just what they said.
"Alcohol and cold medication, lethal interaction".
Death by misadventure.
Without Kelly's testimony, we don't have enough evidence to get a conviction.
We have to re-try Sexton.
The man is a sexual predator.
And he's become homicidal.
If we let him go Look, I will not put Stacy Crandall and her family through the agony of a second trial.
Not unless I'm certain we're gonna win.
We can build the case differently.
Strategy is not enough.
If we retry him, at least we can hold onto him until we can get a witness who can do a photo I.
D.
on Jody Tarnowski's murderer.
We can start building that case, too.
We need more ammunition than we had last time, and we need it up front.
Are you authorizing us to get some? Officially? The Stacy Crandall case is on hold.
Unofficially Do what you need to do to nail this bastard.
Thank you for letting me see Jody's room, Mrs.
Tarnowski.
It really helps me get a sense of her.
She was very pretty.
Yes, she was.
When she kept her hair out of her eyes.
And so many trophies.
She must have been a really good athlete.
Like I was.
I went through the evidence, and I wondered why you didn't want to keep her ankle bracelet.
It wasn't Jody's.
She didn't go in for that kind of thing.
I told the police, but they said "you never know".
"Maybe it was a gift for valentine's day".
They welcome him back with open arms.
Some chicks dig killers.
I'll never understand.
Annabeth, he left the gym.
He's back in his office.
Now what's on his menu? He's got to keep his girlish figure.
Later.
You are being so good for mommy.
I don't know where you get your patience.
Yeah, I do.
Your daddy.
Just hang in there for a second, okay? We'll be home soon.
I wondered who you were talking to.
Baby-sitter flake out on you? Isn't this bring your daughter to work week? Nanny's got the flu, and the vdf's are due, so here we are.
Been there.
Baby-sitters, late nights.
Somehow, it all gets done.
They grow up fine.
You have kids? You've been holding out on us.
It's no mystery.
Got a 17-year-old daughter, Jesse.
She's a senior in high school, lives in New York with her mom.
I tell you, I'd like to believe she has street smarts, but, uh You know teenage girls.
They think they're so worldly, think they know everything.
Truth is, they haven't got a clue.
- Well, hangin there, huh? - 'Night.
- Ray? - Annabeth.
Where are you? Some crummy dive out by the airport.
Oh, I was afraid of that.
He may be thinking about leaving town.
- I'll keep you posted.
- Okay.
Thanks.
Who drinks orange soda? You buy, you choose.
You miss this, being on the street? I can go back anytime I want.
They're always looking for crossing guards.
You regret it? I didn't turn anybody in.
Grand jury asked me a question under oath, I just told the truth.
All right, I can respect that.
So how long you and Conlon have been going steady? Conlon's all right.
Moved half-way across the country with him.
Yeah.
Gave up the big apple for this.
Sounds like love to me.
Always goes for the same type.
What a charmer.
Hey! Come here.
Come on! Stop it! Get the hell out of here! What are you doing? Leave us alone.
Kelly Sexton? So we have a new take on poor battered Kelly.
She likes her sex rough.
The bruises, the dislocated shoulder It's all part of their mutual rape fantasy.
You could tell they couldn't wait for us to split so they could pick up where they left off.
Hot and bothered.
But why the wig? Why did she disguise herself? Her husband likes to rape teenage girls, she likes it rough, so she dresses up like a teenager.
Keeps the marriage fresh.
Who knows? Maybe Sexton's kinder garten teacher had long brown hair.
What? You never had a crush on a teacher? Jody Tarnowski.
I took this from her file.
Yeah, she does look kind of like Kelly, with her wig.
Long brown hair.
Stacy Crandall, too.
Definitely Sexton's type.
Where are we with the idea of Sexton in the Tarnowski murder? It'll take some time.
Jody's friend moved out of the state.
Keep pushing it, huh? I'll show Stacy this picture of Jody.
Maybe Jody knew the Sextons as well.
Nice job, putting the tail on Sexton.
Thanks.
Next time, follow protocol, and check with me first.
Always.
What's her name? Jody Tarnowski.
I can't say for sure.
There are always girls like that hanging around the Sextons.
I mean, Lexie and her friends were always over there.
They were really tight.
She got along with her brother-in-law? Lexie was so excited about their engagement party.
God, if she only knew what Tim was really like.
Were you there, at the party, the night she died? Not when she ODed.
That was later.
After everyone left.
Kelly and Tim had to take her to the emergency room.
I cried for days.
Lexie was comatose by the time they called 911.
I went back, took another look at the medical report.
Thing is, the M.
E.
never did a tox screen.
She was taking this cold medication.
She shouldn't have been drinking.
The combination was enough to cause a lethal interaction.
So the family story fit what happened.
Death by misadventure.
I have a feeling Lexie belongs up here with the rest of Tim Sexton's harem.
Take a look at this photo Stacy took that night at the party.
That's what Kelly was wearing when we busted them.
Same top.
- What's that called? - Baby-doll.
Are you sure? Yeah.
With the long brown wig, a lot like her dead sister.
She dressed up like her dead sister to have rough sex with her husband? I think we should exhume Lexie's body.
I know it's been over a year, but Well, we still got a shot at finding drug evidence.
I'll get a judge to order the exhumation.
Ecstasy disappears from the blood streamin a matter of days, but it remains in the fat cells a long time.
I also found traces of diazepam, toxic levels of both.
And I found something else, wrapped around the victim's left hand.
I didn't know what to make of it.
I thought the victim's name was Lexie.
"K" For Kelly.
Why put a silver charm in with the body? Like Stacy's silver toe ring and Jody's silver ankle bracelet.
Something Sexton left behind to show that he possessed them.
I bet he got Kelly to put it in with Lexie as a goodbye gesture.
Sexton certainly indulges himself with his silver jewelry calling cards.
Maybe he's got more of them squirreled away somewhere.
I'll get the warrants.
Match made in heaven.
That's Lexie passed out on the couch.
Wait a minute.
Kelly was with him? She was in on it.
She molested her own sister.
That's what it is.
They violated her together.
To celebrate their engagement.
Jody was their valentine's day gift to each other, and Stacy was Sexton's birthday present from his wife.
There must be other tapes of Jody and Stacy.
I'll get Ed and Ray right on it.
We have to screen the rest of this.
You do it.
I don't have the stomach for this.
- Love you, babe.
- You, too, babe.
So how does it feel being the one wearing the chains? What are you here for? I don't know how anyone could do the things your husband did, but you're worse than he is.
Your little sister? You know what, Miss Chase? No regrets.
No regrets? None.
Everything that we shared brought us closer.
Even murders? Your husband was a serial rapist, but he never killed anyone until he hooked up with you.
You've obviously never been in love.
Not real love.
I've been in love.
Love doesn't turn you into this, whatever the two of you are.
You don't understand.
We'd do anything for each other.
No boundaries.
I wanted to give Tim the ultimate experience.
Something no one else would give him.
Raping and killing your sister was the ultimate experience? We didn't kill her.
It was an accident.
Lexie drank too much that night.
Took that cold medicine.
You didn't take that into account when you slipped her the ecstasy and diazepam, did you? Maybe you didn't intend to kill the first time, but you got off on it.
It was a three-way.
Totally consensual.
Lexie was into it.
And that stuff that you saw on the videotape? Lexie was just pretending to be unconscious 'cause she knew that's what Tim liked.
And Jody Tarnowski? And Stacy Crandall? Were they into it, too? Our investigators found the safe deposit box under your maiden name.
Tell me something.
How did you and Tim use those videos, huh, Kelly? To relive the experience till the thrill wore off and then you needed a new victim? You'll be tried for your sister Lexie's rape-murder, Jody Tarnowski's rape-murder, and retried for Stacy Crandall's rape and attempted homicide.
Life without parole.
Times three.
- You should have seen Sexton's face.
- He finally stop smirking? Kelly started crying.
First real emotion I've ever seen from her.
Well, three counts each of life, without parole would make you cry, and wipe the smirk off your face.
Did Stacy show up? With her parents.
Won't be seeing him again.
Or her.
Hey.
Congratulations.
Way to go, putting the love birds in a cage for good.
Thanks to you, and your keen appreciation of women's fashions.
The baby-doll top.
When you've got an eye for style Oh, is that what he has an eye for? Come on, now.
You're going to embarrass me.
Anyway, you did right by those young women.
- We feel good about it.
- You should.
Jody's mother found out what happened to her daughter, and Stacy and her parents got some measure of justice.
The judge even agreed to seal the evidence.
The videotapes they made of Stacy, Jody and Lexie will never get out.
The last one I ever took of her.
Helped us solve the case.
Lexie was my friend.
I thought Kelly and Tim were, too.
I feel so stupid for trusting them.
No, don't blame yourself.
No one ever could have known what kind of predators they were.
Are.
They're never getting out, are they? Their lawyer said that they were going to appeal.
They're never getting out.
Trust us.
I also wanted to thank you for persuading the judge to make an exception.
No one will ever see the tape.
We promise.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for looking out for me.
And for what you did for her.
