today we can say that after a long wait of approximately 56 years is a beginning
00:00:09
of bringing Justice to the community John Fatt who was a priest in 1960 has been indicted for the alleged
00:00:18
murder of Arin Gara five decades after the murder of a beautiful school teacher her long suspected killer a former
00:00:28
priest is in custody I'm praying for John fight to go deep inside himself and just do what is
00:00:38
right confess just tell us what happened to Irene Gara and why and I remember John of course and uh he would truly be
00:00:49
the very last person you would ever think could have been even remotely involved with something like
00:00:54
this the people that are going to feel sorry for him do not know the facts of the case I
00:01:03
guarantee you once they find out there will be absolutely no pity there I was fascinated with a a case
00:01:16
that happened this long ago it was a case that involved a beautiful young woman she'd won a number of beauty
00:01:26
pageants she was very very striking always perfectly turned out people always noticed
00:01:33
her my name is Pamela Koloff I'm an executive editor at Texas monthly the Night Before Easter Sunday
00:01:44
in 1960 Irene decided that she wanted to give confession at her church at Sacred
00:01:51
Heart she was devoutly devoutly dedicated to her church she was seen in the confession
00:02:00
line she was seen putting a white lace veil over her head but she was never seen
00:02:06
[Music] leaving where was Irene Garza found Irene was found in this canal 5 days
00:02:13
after she disappeared and what had the killer done to her she was uh sexually assaulted
00:02:20
physically assaulted and she died of Suffocation the case just stopped cold for decades why was that why was
00:02:30
there not an indictment pursued why had there been no justice for Irene in 2002 a new witness stepped forward I covered
00:02:39
up the evidence I'm sorry for what I did I think the turning point in the modernday part of this case was when
00:02:49
Dale tashne picked up the phone he assaulted her bound her and gaged her as he left he could hear her saying I can't
00:03:00
breathe I can't breathe but despite this new evidence there would still be no indictment until now we could not walk
00:03:09
away from this case the murder of Irene Gara with Clean Hands So today we're one step closer and
00:03:19
Seeking Justice John Fatt has been extradited has being transported from Arizona to
00:03:28
Texas finally people listened he didn't get away with murder he thought he was going
00:03:38
to but he didn't we got him
