A KILLER LOOSE ON THE STREETS OF BOSTON.
IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF CHILLING TO WATCH HIS ACTIONS.
HE STALKS, ATTACKS, AND KILLS WITHOUT WARNING.
HE'S NOT COMING AFTER MY MONEY. HE'S COMING AFTER MY LIFE.
SHE LOOKED TERRIFIED.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED,
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M SEEING HERE.
THERE ARE NOT WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT WE LOST
AND HOW OUR LIVES HAVE FOREVER CHANGED.
POLICE SCRAMBLE TO CATCH THIS KILLER
BEFORE HE STRIKES AGAIN.
AND THEY TURN TO THE ONE WITNESS THAT'S SEEN IT ALL.
WE WERE LOOKING AT VIDEO AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD.
CAN SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS HELP CATCH A MONSTER
ON A KILLING SPREE
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR HIS NEXT VICTIM?
TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2013.
IT'S 10:00 A.M.
WORK IS IN FULL SWING AT INTERACTIVE MEDIA'S
DOWNTOWN BOSTON OFFICE.
COFFEE, BLACK, RIGHT?
CAN YOU GET PHIL A BLACK COFFEE, PLEASE?
IT STARTS OUT AS JUST ANOTHER DAY,
EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.
24-YEAR-OLD AMY LORD IS LATE TO WORK.
AND AMY LORD IS NEVER LATE.
BEING LATE, MY SISTER WOULD NEVER DO THAT.
SHE LOVED WORKING THERE. SHE LOVED BEING A PART OF A TEAM.
NO, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER.
SHE WAS JUST SO VERY SURE OF HERSELF
AND WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO.
SHE HAD BIG DREAMS, AND SHE WAS HEADED
RIGHT IN THE DIRECTION OF THEM.
AMY'S COWORKERS CALL HER CELLPHONE OVER AND OVER.
SHE NEVER PICKS UP THE PHONE,
AND SHE DOESN'T CALL THEM BACK.
THEY CALL AMY'S PARENTS,
WHO LIVE AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY.
SHE NEVER SHOWED UP FOR WORK THIS MORNING.
I WAS JUST WONDERING IF SHE...
THEY HAVEN'T HEARD FROM AMY, EITHER.
BY 11:30, THERE'S STILL NO WORD.
HER MANAGER HAS SEEN ENOUGH.
I HAVE A STAFF MEMBER... SHE CALLS THE POLICE.
SOME TIME AFTER 11:00, A CALL CAME IN FOR A MISSING PERSON.
THERE HAD BEEN A GIRL WHO'D GONE MISSING.
SHE'D BEEN REPORTED BY COWORKERS AND FRIENDS.
HI. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OUR COLLEAGUE HERE,
SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR WORK THIS MORNING,
AND THEN IT'S SO WEIRD THAT SHE'S NOT...
THERE'S NO FAMILY EMERGENCY.
SHE'S NOT WITH HER FAMILY.
THIS WAS VERY UNUSUAL FOR HER,
SO THE MISSING-PERSONS REPORT WAS FILED.
AMY, A RECENT COLLEGE GRAD,
MOVED TO BOSTON FOR A JOB AT A DIGITAL MARKETING COMPANY.
AMY WAS THE OLDEST.
I AM THE YOUNGEST, AND THEN WE HAD ONE SISTER
TWO YEARS BETWEEN THE BOTH OF US.
AND WE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN WHERE EVERYONE KNEW YOUR NAME,
SO IT WAS DEFINITELY A BIG MOVE FOR HER TO BOSTON,
BUT SHE LOVED IT.
SHE WAS A VERY PRETTY GIRL,
THE CHEERLEADER, ALL THAT CLASSIC,
BUT SHE KIND OF HAD A SMART TO HER
THAT YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT.
SHE WENT TO BENTLEY, WHICH IS A GREAT COLLEGE,
AND SHE DUAL MAJORED THERE
AND GOT A GREAT JOB RIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE.
SHE MOVED OUT WITH A COUPLE OF HER ROOMMATES
ABOUT A MONTH AFTER SHE GRADUATED.
SHE REALLY DID LIKE BEING THE CITY GIRL,
WHICH NONE OF US SAW COMING.
SHE FELT VERY SAFE HERE.
FROM WHAT POLICE LEARN,
AMY LORD WAS HAPPY WITH HER LIFE.
WE WERE DEALING WITH A KID WHO CAME FROM A GOOD FAMILY,
FROM A NICE TOWN.
I MEAN, THE PICTURE WAS OF WHAT YOU WOULD WANT AS A PARENT.
POLICE MEET AMY'S PARENTS AT HER SOUTH BOSTON APARTMENT
AT 124 DORCHESTER STREET.
THEY SEARCHED THE APARTMENT.
THEY WERE IN THE APARTMENT. THEY WERE IN HER ROOM.
THEY'RE SEEING IF THERE WAS ANY KIND
OF SIGN OF STRUGGLE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THERE'S NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY
AT AMY'S APARTMENT --
NO BLOOD, NO SIGNS OF STRUGGLE, NOTHING FOR POLICE TO GO ON.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE AMY DRIVES?
JEEP CHEROKEE.
THE FAMILY CONFIRM WITH POLICE
THAT AMY DRIVES A BLACK JEEP CHEROKEE,
AND THAT RINGS A BELL FROM A REPORT EARLIER THAT MORNING.
THE MOTOR VEHICLE FIRE
WAS REPORTED AT ABOUT 8:37 IN THE MORNING.
AMY LORD HAD NOT BEEN REPORTED MISSING AT THE TIME
THE CAR WAS DISCOVERED ON FIRE IN SOUTH BOSTON.
WHEN THE BOSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED,
THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
IT WAS PUT OUT, AND IT WAS TOWED FROM THERE
FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION,
NOT KNOWING THERE WAS ANY CONNECTION TO ANYTHING ELSE.
THERE WAS A LICENSE PLATE INTACT.
THAT CORRESPONDED WITH AMY LORD.
AND THAT RAISED RED FLAGS.
THINGS WERE LOOKING MORE AND MORE BLEAK,
AND THEIR CONCERN HAD CERTAINLY RISEN
FROM JUST WHERE IS SHE,
BUT TO THE POINT NOW, WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
THE INVESTIGATION MUST QUICKEN.
POLICE CHECK AMY'S BANK RECORDS
AND GET THEIR FIRST CLUE.
THE BANK RECORDS SHOW THAT,
STARTING AT ABOUT 6:03 A.M. THAT MORNING,
THERE WAS A SEQUENCE OF FIVE DIFFERENT BANKS
THAT SHE MADE OR ATTEMPTED TO MAKE WITHDRAWALS FROM,
STARTING AT THE MOUNT WASHINGTON BANK,
WHICH WAS JUST AT THE END OF DORCHESTER STREET
CLOSE TO HER HOUSE.
WENT TO A METRO CREDIT UNION RIGHT AFTER THAT
AND THEN TO A BANK OF AMERICA, A SOVEREIGN BANK,
AND A CITIZENS BANK.
BETWEEN THOSE FIVE VISITS, THERE WAS JUST UNDER $1,000
THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT.
OBVIOUSLY, THE MISSING PERSON IS CONCERNING
WHEN YOU FIND HER CAR BURNT.
THAT STEPS IT UP EVEN MORE,
FINDING OUT ABOUT ATM WITHDRAWALS
AT DIFFERENT BANKS.
YOU KNOW, YOU START THINKING ABOUT THE WORST.
THESE ATMs HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN JUST CASH.
EACH HAS A VIDEO CAMERA,
AND EACH ONE RECORDS EVERY TRANSACTION.
INVESTIGATORS ARE ABOUT TO SEE AMY LORD...
OR WHOEVER HAS HER ATM CARD.
POLICE START ROUNDING UP THE BANK VIDEOS.
OKAY, SO WHERE ARE WE AT?
THE VIDEOS WILL COME IN ONE BY ONE,
AND POLICE WILL GET A CLOSE-UP VIEW
OF THE HORRIFYING JOURNEY OF AMY LORD.
YEAH, THAT'S DEFINITELY IT.
SHE LOOKED TERRIFIED.
AN 24-YEAR-OLD FORMER CHEERLEADER AMY LORD
IS MISSING IN SOUTH BOSTON.
HER CAR HAS BEEN FOUND BURNED OUT,
AND HER BANK RECORDS REVEAL A DISTURBING TRAIL.
POLICE ARE FEARING THE WORST
BUT DESPERATELY NEED TO VIEW VIDEO
FROM THE FIVE BANKS SHE MADE WITHDRAWALS FROM.
McLAUGHLIN.
BUT BEFORE THEY GET TO SEE THEM...
I'M ON MY WAY.
...THAT AFTERNOON,
AS A HEAVY DOWNPOUR DESCENDS OVER BOSTON,
ANOTHER CALL COMES IN TO POLICE.
IT'S THE NEWS NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR.
A CYCLIST OUT FOR AN AFTERNOON RIDE
HAS MADE A GRISLY DISCOVERY.
SOMETIME AROUND 4:00,
WE GOT NOTIFIED THAT A BODY HAD BEEN RECOVERED IN HYDE PARK,
OUT IN THE STONY BROOK RESERVATION.
IT'S THE BODY OF A YOUNG WOMAN,
STABBED AND STRANGLED TO DEATH.
I MEAN, I BASICALLY BLUE-LIGHTED ALL THE WAY OUT THERE.
I WALKED UP TO THE AREA WHERE HER BODY WAS FOUND.
ANY I.D. ON HER AT ALL?
NOTHING YET.
BASED ON THE PHOTOS WE HAD OF HER,
WE WERE VERY SURE THAT IT WAS AMY LORD.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED,
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M SEEING HERE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DO START FLASHING
BACK AND FORTH TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL FAILINGS
AND YOUR OWN PERSONAL SITUATION,
AS A FATHER OF TWO YOUNG GIRLS OF SIMILAR AGE,
THOSE EMOTIONS KIND OF REALLY HIT ME HARD.
DETECTIVE JAMIE SHEEHAN MUST NOW TELL AMY'S PARENTS
THAT THEIR DAUGHTER IS NEVER COMING HOME.
PL-PLEASE SIT -- PLEASE SIT DOWN.
IT'S HORRIBLE.
YOU'RE NOW COMING AS THE BEARER OF THE WORST NEWS IMAGINABLE.
I'M AFRAID I HAVE SOME TERRIBLE NEWS.
IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, HOW YOU LOOK AT YOUR KIDS,
HOW YOU LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS.
I MEAN, I --
I DON'T EVEN THINK I CAN PUT THAT INTO WORDS.
I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT COULD REALLY --
LOSING A CHILD LIKE THAT AND JUST FROM SUCH A NICE,
CARING, LOVING, CLOSE FAMILY.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK YOU'LL EVER GET OVER THAT.
I COULD GO ON AND ON FOR DAYS
ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVED HER AND WHAT SHE MEANT TO ME.
THAT KIND OF CLOSE-KNIT
THAT YOU HOPE SISTERS WOULD HAVE.
AMY'S CASE IS NOW A MURDER.
POLICE ARE DEPENDING ON A SERIES OF FIVE ATM VIDEOS
TO GIVE THEM A LEAD.
THE ACTUAL VIDEO THAT WAS COMING IN OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY
FROM THE DIFFERENT BANKS.
WE WERE LOOKING AT VIDEO AS IT CAME IN
AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD.
THIS VIDEO IS FROM A BANK OF AMERICA ATM,
WHERE AMY MADE A WITHDRAWAL AT 6:35 A.M.
IT'S AMY LORD.
SHE'S ALONE.
SHE APPEARS UNHURT.
WEARING WHAT LOOKS LIKE WORKOUT CLOTHES.
SHE SIMPLY USES THE ATM AND LEAVES.
THERE'S NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY,
AT LEAST ON THIS PIECE OF VIDEO.
POLICE JUST HAVE TO HOPE,
WITH FOUR MORE VIDEOS,
THERE'S SOMETHING MORE TO SEE.
THE NEXT FOOTAGE IS FROM A CITIZENS BANK VESTIBULE
12 MINUTES LATER AT 6:47 A.M.
THIS TIME, POLICE SEE AMY'S CAR PULL UP OUTSIDE.
AND AGAIN, POLICE SEE
WHAT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER ORDINARY ATM WITHDRAWAL.
ONCE AGAIN, SHE'S ALONE AND UNHURT.
BUT A REPLAY REVEALS SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T EXPECT.
AMY GETS IN AND OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE
OF THE VEHICLE.
IF AMY'S IN THE PASSENGER SEAT,
WHO'S DRIVING?
SO, WE'RE ABLE TO KIND OF GET A VERY GOOD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE
BUT NOT THE DRIVER.
THE NEXT VIDEO THAT POLICE VIEW
IS FROM A BRANCH OF SOVEREIGN BANK.
THE TIMING SHOW AMY USED THIS ATM AT 6:40 A.M.
AND WAS THE FOURTH BANK SHE VISITED,
AND IT'S MUCH MORE REVEALING.
WE WERE ABLE TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT AMY AND HER CONDITION,
THE CLOTHING SHE WAS WEARING.
HAVING THAT VIDEO, WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE
THAT SHE HAD SOME INJURIES.
YOU COULD SEE THE BEGINNINGS OF REDNESS AND PUFFINESS
AROUND HER FACE AND AROUND HER EYES AND HER NOSE.
THAT INDICATED TO US THAT SHE HAD BEEN ASSAULTED.
SHE LOOKED TERRIFIED,
IN COMPLETE UTTER SHOCK
AND DISMAY.
JUST STUNNED.
IT'S CLEAR AMY'S UNDER FORCE.
BUT AMY DOESN'T TRY TO RUN.
SHE TAKES OUT THE MONEY, THEN GETS BACK INTO THE SUV.
POLICE ARE BAFFLED.
IS AMY AT THE POINT OF AN UNSEEN GUN,
OR IS IT POSSIBLE AMY KNOWS HER ABDUCTOR?
THEY TURN TO HER FAMILY, LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.
WE HAD EXPLORED
WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF HER CLOSE FRIENDS BELIEVE
SHE MAY HAVE HAD A BOYFRIEND OR ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUSING ANY PROBLEMS FOR HER.
WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED ANYBODY THAT THE FAMILY SAYS,
"THIS PERSON SHE HAD A PROBLEM WITH,"
OR, "THIS IS AN EX-BOYFRIEND."
WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE, THE THINGS YOU MIGHT LOOK AT.
I THINK IT WAS VERY CLEAR
THERE WAS NOTHING DONE BY CHOICE HERE.
THIS WAS AN ABDUCTION.
ANOTHER VIDEO.
THIS IS FROM A METRO CREDIT UNION ATM
AND IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND BANK AMY VISITED AT 6:10 A.M.
THIS IS HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE VIDEO
REVEALING THE INJURIES TO HER FACE.
THIS ATM MIGHT GIVE INVESTIGATORS
THE ANSWER THEY NEED.
THE CAMERA IS FOCUSED ON THE DRIVER'S-SIDE WINDOW.
AS THE CAR DROVE UP TO THE ATM,
IT WAS A DRIVE-UP ATM.
YOU COULD DEFINITELY SEE HER REACHING OVER.
SHE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE.
AND YOU COULD ALSO SEE THAT THERE WAS A DRIVER
IN THE FRONT SEAT.
THE DRIVER STAYS OUT OF CAMERA RANGE.
AMY LOOKS TERRIFIED AND INJURED.
THEY SEE HER LEFT EYE IS SWOLLEN.
BUT THEN, A FLASH.
DID YOU SEE THAT?
THEY FINALLY GET A LOOK AT THE DRIVER.
WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT APPEARED TO BE
A MALE OPERATING AMY LORD'S VEHICLE
WITH AMY LORD WITHDRAWING MONEY FROM THE ATM THERE.
AND THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE.
WILL THIS THREE-SECOND PIECE OF VIDEO
BE THE KEY TO FINDING AMY LORD'S KILLER?
24-YEAR-OLD AMY LORD
HAS BEEN STABBED AND STRANGLED TO DEATH.
POLICE ARE TRACKING HER KILLER WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
AS HE FORCES AMY TO MAKE WITHDRAWALS
FROM ONE ATM AFTER ANOTHER.
THE FOURTH VIDEO HAS GIVEN THEM A GLIMPSE OF HIM.
BUT IT ISN'T ENOUGH.
HE'S COVERING HIS FACE.
IT'S DISAPPOINTING,
BUT THE BANK SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
HAS HELPED POLICE ESTABLISH A TIMELINE
OF WHERE AMY WAS THE MORNING SHE WAS MURDERED.
AND THEY'RE HOPING THE LAST PIECE
OF BANK SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
JUST MIGHT REVEAL THE FACE OF HER KILLER.
THE TAPE FROM THE FIRST BANK
AMY WITHDREW MONEY FROM FINALLY COMES IN.
THIS WILL SHOW THE START OF AMY'S ORDEAL.
THE BANK IS ABOUT A MILE FROM AMY'S HOUSE,
AND THE RECORDS SHOW HER ATM CARD WAS USED THERE
AT 6:03 A.M.
HERE'S THE, CAR RIGHT HERE.
AS THE CAR PULLS UP...
...POLICE CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE DRIVER THROUGH THE GLASS,
BUT THEN,
SPOTTING THE CAMERA POINTED RIGHT AT HIM,
HE BACKS UP.
WHEN THE CAR PULLS FORWARD AGAIN,
THE DRIVER'S FACE IS ONCE AGAIN COVERED.
POLICE NOW SEE THAT AMY HAS ALREADY BEEN BATTERED.
HE BACKS OUT OF THE BANK AND HEADS EAST.
LESS THAN TWO HOURS LATER, AMY LORD WILL BE DEAD.
BUT FOR JUST A MOMENT,
IT'S THE BEST LOOK YET AT THEIR SUSPECT.
WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE OUT A MALE WHO WAS CONCEALING HIS FACE
BY BOTH PULLING A T-SHIRT UP OVER HIS FACE AS WELL AS --
HE WAS WEARING A BASEBALL HAT, WHICH HE WOULD TAKE
FROM WEARING BACKWARDS AND TURNING IT FORWARD
AND PULLING THE BRIM DOWN TO FURTHER CONCEAL HIS IDENTITY.
AND WHEN HE ADJUSTS THE CAP,
IT REVEALS A CLOSELY-SHAVED HEAD.
SO, HE NEVER GOT OUT OF THE CAR.
WHILE SHE'S LEANING OVER HIM, HE LEANS BACK.
WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO GET THAT FULL-ON FRONTAL PICTURE
THAT WE COULD SAY THAT'S HIM.
WHAT THE ATM FOOTAGE REVEALS
IS THAT AMY WAS ABDUCTED BEFORE 6:03,
AND THEY BELIEVE IT PROBABLY HAPPENED CLOSE TO HER HOME
AT 124 DORCHESTER STREET.
NOW WE GOT TO START LOOKING AT 124 DORCHESTER STREET
AND THE CAMERAS IN THAT AREA.
THERE ARE NO CAMERAS AT AMY'S BUILDING.
BUT ACROSS THE STREET, THEY SEE SOMETHING.
WHAT'S THAT RIGHT THERE?
THERE'S A CAMERA DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET
THAT'S CONNECTED TO A CONVALESCENT HOME
THAT'S TO THE RIGHT OF HER BUILDING,
AND THEY HAD A SECURITY CAMERA THAT FACED THEIR PARKING LOT.
INVESTIGATORS ASK THE CONVALESCENT HOME
FOR THE VIDEO
AND BRING IT INTO THE STATION.
OKAY, THIS IS THE FOOTAGE THAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
TAKE A LOOK.
THANK YOU.
OKAY.
AND THEY'RE IN LUCK.
IT JUST CATCHES JUST THE FRONT DOOR OF HER BUILDING.
WHAT IT SHOWED WAS THAT ABOUT 5:37 A.M.,
YOU SEE AN INDIVIDUAL, NOT RECOGNIZABLE,
WALK BY HER FRONT DOOR,
JUST PASSED THE DOOR, AND THEN STOP.
THE DOOR STARTS TO OPEN,
AND HE SEEMS TO PUSH THROUGH THE DOOR,
AND THEN THE DOOR SHUTS BEHIND HIM.
WHEN HE GOES BY AMY'S HALLWAY,
PERHAPS HE SEES HER COMING DOWN OR HEARS HER COMING DOWN,
AND THAT'S WHEN HE DECIDES TO GO BY,
WAIT A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME, AND THEN ALMOST --
LIKE, HE'S TIMING IT --
AS THE DOOR OPENS, HE GOES IN AFTER HER.
AND HE REMAINS IN THAT HALLWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES.
WE CAN ONLY SPECULATE AS TO WHAT WENT ON.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT ANY PICTURE I SAW OF HER,
ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS THE FEAR
THAT SHE MUST HAVE BEEN FEELING AT THE TIME.
AND AGAIN, THAT MIGHT HAVE GONE TO SOMETHING
THAT WAS SAID TO HER IN THE HALLWAY.
KNOWING WHERE SHE LIVED, KNOWING WHERE ROOMMATES LIVED,
KNOWING HER CAR, KNOWING A LOT OF THINGS
THAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED HER TO JUST REALIZE THAT,
YOU KNOW, "I BETTER COOPERATE.
I BETTER DO WHAT HE SAYS."
AND SO, TO ME, ALL I CAN REALLY THINK ABOUT IS FEAR,
AND IT HIT ME, LOOKING AT HER IN SOME OF THESE VIDEOS.
IT STILL DOES.
15 MINUTES GO BY.
TWO FIGURES -- SAME FIGURE THAT WENT IN
AND A SECOND FIGURE,
WHICH APPEARS TO BE AMY.
AND THEY THEN GO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION,
OUT OF THE CAMERA VIEW,
WHICH WAS IN THE DIRECTION OF WHERE HER CAR WAS PARKED.
THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEO WAS NOT GOOD AT ALL.
IT ONLY ALLOWED US THAT ABILITY TO SAY
THEY LEAVE HERE AT 5:52 OR SO
AND THEY'RE HEADING TOWARDS HER JEEP.
BASED ON WHAT WE SEE THERE, THERE'S ONE INDIVIDUAL INVOLVED.
AFTER ALL THAT, THE VIDEO GIVES INVESTIGATORS
JUST ONE MORE PIECE OF THE TIMELINE,
NOTHING MORE.
BUT SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
COULD STILL HELP THEM SOLVE THIS CASE.
THAT'S BECAUSE AFTER ABDUCTING AMY
AND TAKING HER TO FIVE BANK ATMs,
THE KILLER DROVE FIVE MILES TO HYDE PARK,
WHERE HER BODY WAS FOUND,
AND THEN BACK TO SOUTH BOSTON,
WHERE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT FOUND HER TORCHED SUV.
INVESTIGATORS KNOW THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE STOPPED
TO BUY THE ACCELERANT HE USED TO BURN AMY'S JEEP.
ASSUMING THIS WAS GASOLINE, THEY FOCUS THEIR SEARCH
ON ALL GAS STATIONS
ALONG THE ROUTE BACK FROM HYDE PARK.
WHAT DO WE GOT GOING ON?
I GATHERED A GROUP OF DETECTIVES TOGETHER FROM AROUND THE CITY,
BROUGHT THEM IN, AND SAID, "LISTEN, WE NEED TO --
WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHERE HE BOUGHT GAS
FOR THE CAR."
THEY MUST CHECK ALL ROAD INTERSECTION CAMERAS
ALONG THE ROUTE
TO PINPOINT WHICH GAS STATION HE STOPPED AT.
BUT WITH HUNDREDS OF INTERSECTION CAMERAS
TO LOOK THROUGH
AND COUNTLESS BLACK SUVs ON THE STREETS OF BOSTON,
IT'S A MAMMOTH TASK.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE MORE FOOTAGE COMING IN.
PEOPLE THINK, "WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT ALL THIS VIDEO."
YEAH, WELL, YOU GOT TO WATCH IT, TOO.
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING
THAT COULD MAKE FINDING AMY'S SUV ON THE STREETS OF BOSTON
A LITTLE EASIER.
WE LEARNED EARLY ON FROM LOOKING AT THE BANK FOOTAGE
THAT AMY'S CAR HAD, ON THE LOWER LEFT-HAND CORNER
OF HER REAR WINDOW, IT HAD A STICKER
WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE A SHAMROCK IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
IT WAS ACTUALLY A BENEFIT STICKER
THAT WAS IN THE WINDOW.
BUT WHAT POLICE DON'T KNOW
IS THAT WHILE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR AMY LORD'S KILLER,
HE'S SEARCHING FOR HIS NEXT VICTIM.
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
"DON'T TELL ME THIS IS THE SAME GUY."
SOUTH BOSTON.
24-YEAR-OLD AMY LORD IS DEAD,
AND POLICE ARE USING SURVEILLANCE
TO HUNT DOWN HER KILLER.
INVESTIGATORS ARE FOCUSING THEIR VIDEO SEARCH
FOR AMY'S SUV
ON THE GAS STATIONS BETWEEN HYDE PARK AND LOGAN WAY,
AND THEY GET LUCKY.
THAT'S HIM.
ONE OF THE AREAS THAT THEY FOCUSED ON
WAS WASHINGTON STREET,
WHERE THEY SAW WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE SAME CAR
PULLINGS INTO A GAS STATION.
THERE'S A WHITE STICKER VISIBLE IN THE REAR WINDOW.
CLEARLY, THIS IS AMY'S JEEP.
IT'S SIGNALING TO TURN RIGHT,
AND POLICE KNOW THERE'S A GAS STATION
AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION HE'LL HIT.
AN OFFICER HEADS TO THAT GAS STATION TO PULL THE VIDEO.
IF HE GETS IT, POLICE WILL HAVE THE CLEAR, FRONTAL VIEW
OF THE KILLER THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
WHEN HE GOT THE GAS STATION,
HE WENT IN AND SPOKE TO THE CLERK THERE.
AND THE CLERK SAID, "LOOK, OUR SYSTEM'S BROKEN."
IT SEEMS LIKE JUST ANOTHER DEAD END...
UNTIL THE OFFICER NOTICES SOMETHING.
THEY SAW A LIQUOR STORE DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE STREET
WITH EXTERNAL SECURITY CAMERAS.
HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING? HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
THEY ASK THE OWNER TO SHOW THEM THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE
FROM THE MORNING AMY WAS KILLED.
YEAH.
THEY SPEED THROUGH THE VIDEO,
AND THEN, AT AROUND 8:00 A.M...
...THEY SPOT A BLACK SUV.
PULLING INTO THE GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET,
AND IT HAS A SHAMROCK STICKER ON THE BACK.
THE DRIVER GETS OUT,
BUT THE LIQUOR STORE CAMERA IS TOO FAR AWAY.
THEY CAN'T SEE HIS FACE.
AFTER ALL THAT,
THERE'S NO WAY TO I.D. THE MAN BEHIND THE WHEEL.
BUT THEN, POLICE SEE THE DRIVER WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR.
HE GREETS SOMEONE HE CLEARLY KNOWS.
IS THIS PERSON A WITNESS
THAT COULD LEAD POLICE TO THE KILLER?
BEFORE THEY CAN DO ANY MORE WITH THE GAS STATION VIDEO
OR SEARCH FOR THAT WITNESS...
...A CALL COMES IN.
AS THE HOUR JUST PASSED MIDNIGHT,
A BROADCAST CAME OUT OVER THE RADIO
FOR A STABBING AT 57 GATE STREET IN SOUTH BOSTON,
WHICH WAS A VERY SHORT DISTANCE FROM AMY LORD'S APARTMENT.
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
NOW WE HAD A YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS STABBED
A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM AMY LORD'S HOME.
WE ALL IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THINKING,
"DON'T TELL ME THIS IS THE SAME GUY."
21-YEAR-OLD KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE
IS WALKING HOME LATE FROM HER JOB AT A RESTAURANT.
I WALKED HOME JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER NIGHT,
AND HE WAS ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.
I WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET,
GOING OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.
AND ONCE I PUNCHED IN THE CODE TO MY APARTMENT
AND UNLOCKED THE DOOR,
HE CAME UP FROM BEHIND ME
AND PUSHED ME IN.
HE STARTED STABBING ME,
AND, YOU KNOW, I AT FIRST THOUGHT I WAS GETTING ROBBED,
SO I GAVE HIM MY PURSE,
AND I GAVE HIM MY CELLPHONE, AND I TOLD HIM, YOU KNOW,
"TAKE WHATEVER -- TAKE WHATEVER YOU NEED."
AND HE JUST LOOKED AT ME,
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, AND KEPT STABBING ME.
SO THEN THAT'S KIND OF WHEN I KNEW, YOU KNOW,
HE'S NOT COMING AFTER MY MONEY.
HE'S COMING AFTER MY LIFE.
I WAS JUST KICKING HIM AS HARD AS I COULD.
I WAS SCREAMING.
HE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, FELL BACK,
AND HE RAN OUT THE DOOR, AND I CLOSED THE DOOR.
KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE IS RUSHED
TO BOSTON'S TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER E.R.
I HAD FIVE STAB WOUNDS ON MY LEFT ARM,
TWO ON MY TORSO, ONE UNDER MY LEFT BREAST,
WHICH IS A HALF AN INCH FROM MY HEART.
AND ONE ON MY LEFT RIB CAGE THAT COLLAPSED MY LEFT LUNG.
AND THEN TWO ON MY FACE.
I WASN'T REALLY FRIGHTENED UNTIL I GOT INTO THE HOSPITAL
AND I WAS LAYING THERE ON THE BED.
AND I LOOKED AT THE DOCTOR, AND I SAID,
"I JUST WANT TO KNOW -- AM I GONNA LIVE?"
AT THE SCENE OF KAYLEIGH'S STABBING,
DETECTIVES SPOT A TRAIL OF BLOOD,
AND IT'S NOT KAYLEIGH'S.
IT LEADS AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND UP THE STREET.
IT CLEARLY LEADS AWAY, SO YOU'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT THAT
AS YOUR SUSPECT,
AND PROBABLY EITHER THE KNIFE SLIPS
IN THEIR HAND AND THEY CUT THEMSELVES.
IN THIS CASE, HE MUST HAVE TAKEN A JAB
AND STABBED HIMSELF IN THE OPPOSITE HAND.
BUT HE CLEARLY IS YOUR SUSPECT, AND IT ENDED PRETTY ABRUPTLY.
I WANT THIS TAPED OFF.
THAT'S IT, IT JUST STOPS.
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
COULD HE HAVE GONE INTO A HOUSE?
COULD HE HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO STOP THE BLEEDING SOMEHOW?
COULD HE HAVE PUT IT INSIDE HIS SHIRT?
OKAY, IT STOPS RIGHT THERE.
POLICE WILL TEST THE BLOOD,
BUT THAT TAKES DAYS,
AND A MONSTER IS ON THE LOOSE.
THAT'S WHEN THEY SPOT IT.
LOOK AT THAT.
MOUNTED ON THE EXTERIOR
OF ONE OF THE BUILDINGS ON TELEGRAPH STREET,
THERE WAS A CAMERA.
A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA A FEW HOUSES DOWN
FROM WHERE THE BLOOD TRAIL STOPS.
IS IT RECORDING?
THE EQUIPMENT WAS WORKING.
IT WAS RECORDING.
IT'S KAYLEIGH'S ATTACKER,
AND HE'S WRAPPED HIS HAND UP IN HIS T-SHIRT
TO STEM THE BLEEDING.
RIGHT AFTER KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE WAS STABBED,
THERE WAS A FIGURE CAPTURED WALKING
BY THAT TELEGRAPH STREET BUILDING
WITH HIS HAND WRAPPED UP.
HE TAKES HIS SHIRT OFF, AND HE WRAPS IT AROUND HIS HAND.
THE SHIRT MIGHT HAVE STOPPED THE BLEEDING
AND THE BLOOD TRAIL...
BUT BY TAKING IT OFF,
THE SUSPECT REVEALS SOMETHING.
DETECTIVES ENLIST THE HELP OF FORENSIC VIDEO EXPERT
JOHN GREEN.
THE TANK TOP EXPOSED HIS TATTOOS,
WHICH WAS VERY FORTUITOUS FOR US.
HIS SPECIALIST VIDEO LAB
AT SUFFOLK COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
ENABLES EVEN THE MOST LOW-QUALITY VIDEO
TO BE ANALYZED FOR FORENSIC EVIDENCE.
HE HAD A NUMBER OF TATTOOS --
PRAYING HANDS WITH ROSARY BEADS THROUGH IT,
THE BOSTON RED SOX "B."
AND THEN THERE WAS THE AREA CODE "617" DISTINCTLY ON HIS ARMS.
OKAY, THAT'S DEFINITELY HIM. CAN WE TIGHTEN IN ON THIS?
THE TATTOOED MAN FROM THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
IS NOW THEIR ONE AND ONLY SUSPECT.
CAN WE TIGHTEN IN ON THAT?
CAN THEY TRACK HIM DOWN
BEFORE HE ATTACKS ANOTHER INNOCENT WOMAN?
SOUTH BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS,
TWO WOMEN IN THEIR EARLY 20s HAVE BEEN ATTACKED.
AMY LORD HAS BEEN MURDERED.
KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE IS ALIVE
AND FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE AT THE TUFTS MEDICAL CENTER.
AND KAYLEIGH ISN'T THE ONLY PATIENT
TO ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A STAB WOUND.
SHORTLY AFTER SHE ARRIVED...
...SOMEONE SELF-ADMITTED TO THE SAME EMERGENCY ROOM.
AN INDIVIDUAL HAD JUST WALKED IN WITH A STAB WOUND TO HIS HAND.
COULD IT BE THE ATTACKER
THEY CAUGHT ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO?
WE RESPONDED TO NEW ENGLAND MEDICAL CENTER.
HEY, HOW YOU DOING?
HIS NAME IS EDWIN ALEMANY.
THIS IS YOUR CHART HERE, RIGHT?
HE TELLS INVESTIGATORS HE HURT HIS HAND
DURING A FIGHT AT A GAS STATION,
BUT THERE IS ONE THING POLICE CAN CHECK
TO SEE IF ALEMANY IS LYING...
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND?
...TATTOOS.
WE'RE ABLE TO OBSERVE SEVERAL TATTOOS ON HIS ARMS
WHICH WERE CONSISTENT IN SHAPE AND SIZE
RELATIVE TO THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
FROM TELEGRAPH STREET.
PRAYING HANDS DRAPED IN ROSARY BEADS...
...THE BOSTON RED SOX "B"...
AND THE "617" AREA CODE.
THEY'RE ALL THERE.
HE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AT THAT POINT
FOR THE STABBING OF KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE.
OFFICERS TAKE HIS FINGERPRINTS,
GET DNA SAMPLES,
AND TAKE THE SHOES AND CLOTHES HE'S WEARING.
POLICE NOW HAVE THE MAN WHO ATTACKED KAYLEIGH.
BUT THE QUESTION IS, DID EDWIN ALEMANY KILL AMY LORD?
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.
INVESTIGATORS STILL HAVE NO REAL EVIDENCE CONNECTING THE CASES.
THEY ARE PINNING THEIR HOPES ON TRACKING DOWN THE WITNESS
FROM THE LIQUOR STORE CCTV FOOTAGE.
REVIEWING THAT VIDEO, YOU COULD SEE
THAT AFTER HER CAR PULLED IN,
THE OPERATOR GOT OUT OF THE CAR
AND WALKED TO THE MIDDLE OF WASHINGTON STREET
AND ACTUALLY GREETED SOMEONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
THAT GUY...
AFTER TALKING TO THE OWNER FURTHER,
HE WAS ABLE TO TELL INVESTIGATORS
WHO THE DRIVER OF AMY LORD'S CAR MET.
THAT PARTICULAR PERSON LIVED RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET
FROM THE GAS STATION.
INVESTIGATORS WENT TO THAT ADDRESS,
KNOCKED ON THE DOOR, MET THE PERSON,
AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A LONG-TIME FRIEND.
AND HE SAID THAT PERSON WAS...
EDWIN ALEMANY.
EDWIN ALEMANY,
THE MAN UNDER ARREST FOR STABBING KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE.
THE VIDEO WAS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE NOW TO PUT HIM IN HER CAR
RIGHT AFTER THE MURDER HAD BEEN COMMITTED.
BUT INVESTIGATORS STILL NEED PROOF HE KILLED HER,
AND WHEN THE RESULTS COME BACK,
DNA EVIDENCE SEALS THIS MONSTER'S FATE.
DNA SPECIALISTS WERE ABLE
TO IDENTIFY SPOTS ON HIS SNEAKERS
THAT WERE MATCHED TO AMY LORD.
EDWIN ALEMANY HAD MURDERED AMY LORD.
EDWIN ALEMANY, A KILLER WHO SHOWS NO REMORSE.
AFTER BRUTALLY MURDERING AMY, HE CASUALLY SPENDS HER MONEY
ON CELLPHONES, LOTTERY TICKETS,
BEERS,
EATS AT A CHINESE RESTAURANT,
AND FOOLS AROUND WITH FRIENDS.
AT JUST ABOUT THE TIME THAT HER BODY IS BEING RECOVERED,
HE AND ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS
ARE OUT IN FRONT OF THE CHINESE RESTAURANT
SMOKING A CIGARETTE.
WHAT WAS STRIKING ABOUT THAT
IS THAT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE FINDING OVER HERE
AND THE HORRIFYING NATURE OF IT,
AND THIS GUY IS OUT ACTING THE FOOL
OUT IN FRONT OF THIS CHINESE RESTAURANT,
SMOKING BUTTS AND JUST KIND OF,
LIKE, NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD.
THEN, AFTER A LATE-NIGHT ARGUMENT WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND,
HE'S BACK OUT ON THE STREETS,
LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VICTIM
WHEN HE PREYS ON KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE.
AFTER LEAVING HER FOR DEAD, HE GOES INTO A GAS STATION
TO BUY CIGARETTES,
SHOWING THE CASHIER HIS BLEEDING HAND,
CLAIMING IT WAS INJURED IN A FIGHT.
BUT WHY DOES HE EMBARK ON THIS SAVAGE SPREE?
HIS MOTIVE FOR HIS ACTIONS
WERE JUST A COMPLETE DISDAIN FOR WOMEN
AND CONTEMPT FOR SOCIETY.
FOR KILLING AMY, I THINK IT HAD GOTTEN SO FAR
AND HE HAD DONE SO MUCH AT THAT POINT
THAT HE HAD NO OTHER OPTION.
AFTER A THREE-WEEK TRIAL, THE VERDICT COMES IN.
ON JUNE 8, 2015,
IN FRONT OF AMY'S FAMILY AND KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE...
IS HE NOT GUILTY OR GUILTY OF MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE
AS CHARGED?
GUILTY.
EDWIN ALEMANY IS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT PAROLE
FOR THE MURDER OF AMY LORD
AND THE BRUTAL ATTACK ON KAYLEIGH BALLANTYNE.
I WAS ANXIOUS TO GET UP ON THE STAND,
AND I WANTED HIM TO KNOW THAT I'M SITTING HERE
AND YOU'RE SITTING THERE, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE BEHIND BARS
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
AND I'M GONNA GO OUT,
AND I'M STILL GONNA BE ABLE TO LIVE MY LIFE.
AND NOT ONLY LIVE MY LIFE, BUT, YOU KNOW,
I'M LIVING IT FOR AMY LORD, TOO.
I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THAT I'M EVER GONNA FORGET HER.
I COULD NEVER FIND THE WORDS
THAT COULD EVER EXPRESS WHAT IS TRULY IN MY HEART.
THERE ARE NOT WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT WE LOST
AND HOW OUR LIVES HAVE FOREVER CHANGED.
THERE'S A HOLE NO ONE CAN REPLACE.
IT REALLY JUST MAKES YOU VALUE WHAT YOU HAVE
AND THAT IT CAN BE GONE IN A MOMENT.
THE WAY THINGS ENDED HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER OR WHO SHE WAS.
I WOULD LIKE HER TO BE REMEMBERED
JUST FOR HER HAPPY AND YOUTHFUL SPIRIT.
SHE WOULDN'T WANT US HERE MISERABLE IN HER MEMORY.
SHE WOULDN'T WANT TO THINK SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO HER
RUINED OUR LIVES, TOO.
WE'RE GONNA DO ALL THE THINGS SHE CAN'T,
AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE HER PROUD,
AND WE'RE REALLY JUST NOT GONNA LET HER MEMORY DIE.
WE'RE GONNA FINISH WHAT SHE STARTED.
