work she never returned and that was the night of August 23rd 2003 at first we thought she was a

ging that you realized that these cases all four of them were somehow connected yes we know about four victims we don't
00:02:07
know if there are other victims but serial killers don't just kill four people and be done with it the person
00:02:14

00:02:22
Lambs was he in your town in 2003 was he in your town in 2004 or was he in your town in

00:03:35
all-time favorite pictures ever because it looks like she's just sitting there visiting with you not posed not
00:03:43
formal just yeah yeah hanging out this is Rob mccloud's daily ritual you say you visit this website every day why do
00:03:51
you do it just to see her just for a sec and then there's been real emotional days that I can't can't
00:03:59
possi look at her pictures Rob's daughter 19-year-old Casey McLoud vanished in August
00:04:11
2003 tell us about uh her personality bright and bubbly and fun she was a very happy easy
00:04:22
to get along with wanting to please type of kid she danced and sang all the time all around the house all
00:04:31
the time Casey was Rob and Lorie mccloud's only child hey Robin L when she was a
00:04:40
toddler they doed on her Casey was brought up in bubble wrap we we protected her from everything but
00:04:50
Casey's sheltered life didn't last long Robin Lorie divorced when she was four and as she got older Casey grew
00:04:59
rebellious she's butt in heads with her mom and started smoking and started engaging in
00:05:04
behavior in high school that her mom didn't approve of and it packed her up and moved her down to her aunts in
00:05:09
Arizona Phoenix was Casey's new home and that's where she met best friend Tabitha
00:05:15
Morton we were both turning 16 I believe when I met her we were so close literally that we were practically
00:05:22
attached at the HP because we worked together we were going to school together and we spent so much of our
00:05:27
personal time together but after high School Tabitha says Casey fell in with the wrong crowd there was a girl that
00:05:36
decided to move in with her this girl was heavy into drugs and she was bringing lots of people you know who
00:05:45
were using drugs um to the house quite often Casey kind of fell into that when I noticed that something was
00:05:53
wrong I called her aunt and I said I think that Casey's in some trouble so she was sent back to Colorado in late
00:06:03
2001 it didn't change our friendship I think it actually made it stronger because she knew I was really looking
00:06:09
out for her she had a few months of drug use but that's not who she was as Casey
00:06:17
settled back into her old surroundings a new man entered her mother's life Scott
00:06:23
Kimbell he was great and um he was very charming and funny and smart now living with Scott and Lori Casey seemed to be
00:06:34
getting herself back on track with new friends and a new job but then came a shocking
00:06:43
disappointment Scott found drugs in the house and when I confronted Casey she swore to me that they weren't hers she
00:06:55
begged me to get a drug test and I didn't believe her when Lori threatened to turn her into to the cops Casey took
00:07:04
off down the road on her bicycle what did you think happened to Casey I thought she took off because I
00:07:13
didn't believe her I worried sick about her I drove around looking for her at first Rob was
00:07:23
angry Casey had run away before I was worried about her but not to the point of that I thought any Foul Play happened
00:07:32
I figured she was over found a friend and was crashing over at their place she'd call or eventually just show up
00:07:40
like she had before but two days later when Casey failed to show up for her shift at a
00:07:48
sandwich shop Lori became frantic I went to the police and they told me that it was not
00:07:56
my right to find her Casey was over 18 she was not a runaway she simply left you didn't file a missing person's
00:08:04
report the police won't allow that there had to be blood evidence of Foul Play In
00:08:10
order to file a missing person's report but at least Lori had the support of Scott Kimble who had important law
00:08:18
enforcement contacts he worked for the FBI he helped catch bad guys so when she disappeared did you talk to Scott yes
00:08:27
what did Scott say with his connections with the FBI we'll find her desperate Lori even married
00:08:36
Scott seeing him as the only hope to finding her daughter and sure enough he turned up a few leads including evidence
00:08:45
that Casey had stopped by the house very recently when no one was home he found Casey's necklace on her door knob even
00:08:53
more promising Scott found a neighbor who said he had seen Casey weeks after she disappeared feed the neighbor said
00:09:02
that Casey had been at the house with her boyfriend and his sister back in Phoenix Tabitha Morton
00:09:12
was also looking frantically for her friend I called everybody that we knew I set up a MySpace page for her um
00:09:19
contacted people from high school pass out flyers weeks then months went by the most unbearable thing for me to think of
00:09:29
a daughter is that someone took her something precious something important to me and destroyed it and threw it away
00:09:38
like it wasn't important to anybody together Rob and Tabitha began to wonder if the key to Casey's
00:09:45
disappearance might be much closer to home it was just this nagging feeling that kept going through my head that
00:09:52
there was something more than what we were finding [Music] over the course of time you're wondering
00:10:14
where is she you know is she hurt is she hungry these thoughts tormented Rob McLoud from the time his daughter Casey
00:10:22
vanished in August 2003 but what Rob didn't know was that another Colorado father was asking those
00:10:31
very same questions you wonder where is she has she been kidnapped you wonder what in
00:10:38
the world has happened to her 7 months before Casey McLoud disappeared Howard emer's 24-year-old
00:10:47
daughter Leanne had also mysteriously vanished so Howard tell me about this picture of Leanne she was about 14 years
00:10:56
old as you can see she also loved the outdoors we were always uh exploring the Rocky
00:11:02
Mountains Howard Emy has spent countless hours replaying Leanne's life a life that began full of Promise she was a
00:11:11
straight A student in high school and actually graduated a year early but Leanne's life soon spiraled downwards
00:11:18
her mother's severe health problems kept Leanne from finishing college she lost her job as a veterinarian's assistant
00:11:25
and she landed in an abusive marriage I think I was almost kind of the turning point I think she had a real feeling
00:11:31
that she really wasn't worth much that she couldn't do much in 2002 Leanne left her husband but her father was still
00:11:39
concerned because she began a relationship with a prisoner named Steven Holly on January 16th 2003 Leanne's car
00:11:50
with its unique license plate pulled out of the driveway the dog she loved the most was Dalmatian on her car she had a
00:11:58
license plate this said Dow gal Leanne said she was heading for a caving trip in Mexico with
00:12:10
friends but 2 weeks later Howard got a call that still haunts him it was the sheriff's department in Moab
00:12:19
Utah and they says well I hate to tell you but we found her car abandoned in the canyon lands in Moab Utah just
00:12:28
yesterday they told me about the license plate and I knew immediately this is Leanne's
00:12:39
car all her clothes stuff like that was left in the car Brent Pace a seasoned Utah investigator and tracker could tell
00:12:49
someone had picked Leanne up the car was actually pulled straight into here with
00:12:55
just like this like you just drove in off that road and parked it right here and then the driver got out and walked
00:13:01
back and got in another vehicle one set of Sho pinch leaving this car to another set of tire
00:13:09
tracks and because of that you know we were kind of concerned you know maybe something did happen out here like the
00:13:16
mcclouds howood tried to file a missing person's report back in Colorado but was
00:13:21
shut down so he decided to play detective himself it's how to know why she was gone there's obviously a million
00:13:34
questions here using credit card records Howard pieced together Leanne's Trail in the
00:13:44
weeks before she disappeared she didn't go to Mexico he discovered Leanne was leading
00:13:51
a secret life she spent the 10 days before she vanished traveling through the western United States writing bad
00:13:59
checks and charging thousands of dollars to her father's credit card I was totally bewildered she was either
00:14:06
threaten or blackmailed she would not have done this on her own and it seemed Howard was right he
00:14:15
came across several emails Leanne had sent a cousin just days before she left emails that hinted she was in trouble
00:14:23
but was being protected by someone with a curious nickname she's a and as for Hannibal I
00:14:30
think I can trust him he's actually protecting me my thought it was protecting her from
00:14:36
one a few Clues arrived in several cryptic letters from Leanne's prison boyfriend Steven Holly basically he told
00:14:44
me that she was in terrible danger and please call the FBI [Music] immediately alarmed Howard went to visit
00:14:56
Holly who told him that Hannibal was a former inmate he had put in touch with Leanne I says tell me about Hannibal do
00:15:04
you think he would hurt my daughter he says well I already don't think Hannibal would hurt Leanne but Hannibal does know
00:15:11
some people that wouldn't hesitate to kill Leanne if he asked them to do it but Holly refused to reveal
00:15:20
Hannibal's true identity and when Howard brought Holly's story to the FBI the agent he spoke to
00:15:28
dismissed it as pure fiction there's a possible kidnapping here and yet and yet he showed no
00:15:35
interest whatsoever As Time passed everyone was left with more questions than when they
00:15:43
began even Brent Pace who kept up the search it's hard to be involved in a case and not know the wise why this
00:15:52
happened it's hard to forget these kind of cases I mean it's somebody's child a human being you know and so those are
00:15:59
questions you really want answered but no one realized Hannibal was actually working for the
00:16:08
FBI and married to Lori McLoud Hannibal's real name Scott Kimbell [Music] with Lori McLoud began having suspicions
00:16:43
about Scott Kimbell after they were married in August 2003 the same month her daughter Casey went
00:16:51
missing of and on he would say things that didn't feel right and again when I would question him he would make me feel
00:17:00
I was losing my mind and to be perfectly honest I wanted to feel that what I was
00:17:08
thinking wasn't right but it wasn't until 2 years later that Lori shared some disturbing
00:17:16
information with her ex-husband Rob McLoud I'm talking to Lori she goes well that whole weekend Casey went with it's
00:17:23
not quite what I told you there's a little bit more to it than that but what did she say she said Scott took off the
00:17:30
same weekend Casey did on a solo mystery I don't know where he went camping trip
00:17:37
Lori and Rob weren't the only ones asking questions in early 2006 Kimble became a suspect in a case that
00:17:45
Lafayette Colorado detective Gary Thatcher was investigating when did you first hear of the name Scott kemell uh
00:17:52
it was when I uh had an officer come to me with this check fraud case uh that was the first time I heard about him
00:17:59
Thatcher learned that kimbell's job with the FBI was as a paid criminal informant he was also a con artist who
00:18:07
had spent most of his life racking up felony convictions and prison time all over the western United
00:18:15
States but when thatcha went to find Kimble he was gone well it was January 2006 initially I was talking to Lor
00:18:23
about where is Scott Kimbell and then she dropped that on me as that Casey's missing and she suspicious of Scott that
00:18:30
was the the eye opener that you know the check fraud is important here but there's a much bigger picture to this
00:18:40
investigation a warrant was put out for Kimble's arrest 2 months later US Marshals tracked him down and after a
00:18:48
dramatic high-speed chase through California's Coachella Valley arrested the con
00:18:54
man now with Kimble safely in custody Det detective Thatcher made a vow to Rob McLoud he says Rob where there's smoke
00:19:03
there's fire he says I will not forget Casey I will not rest until we figure out what happened to
00:19:12
her as Thatcher dug deeper he learned from the FBI that Kimble was connected years earlier to yet another missing
00:19:20
Colorado woman Jennifer Markham now it was just one more thing added onto the pile of Suspicion Jennifer was a
00:19:28
struggling single mother who worked as a stripper on February 17th 2003 she visited her boyfriend drug dealer Steve
00:19:37
Enis in prison shortly after that visit she vanished just total anxiety begin to
00:19:49
wonder where is she her father Bob Markham like the other fathers was stumped all you can do is hope that
00:19:57
maybe she'd been arrested somehow put in jail that that's where she's at how long
00:20:02
did you go through that for a year then one day Bob's phone rang it was an FBI agent named call sloth and they asked if
00:20:12
Jennifer's there and I said No at that point e that said that something bad may have happened to
00:20:18
her agent sloff revealed that Jennifer's car had been found abandoned at the Denver Airport it was after a while that
00:20:26
we found out that they had found it a year before and nobody had contacted us doesn't that seem odd I couldn't believe
00:20:34
it Markham kept pressing schoth for answers so the agent set up a meeting with his informant who had once shared a
00:20:42
prison cell with Jennifer's boyfriend that informant was Scott Kimbell he told me he knew where she
00:20:52
was how she died how it happened everything Jennifer's mother Mary Willis came with
00:21:02
Bob to this park to meet Scott Kimble he told them that Jennifer had been killed
00:21:07
by some of her boyfriend's drug Associates Kimble said he had even seen pictures of her
00:21:16
dead he told me she was strangled she was tied up and she was strangled from behind and she put up a
00:21:25
fight as he was telling you this what were you you thinking of him I was thinking how could he know
00:21:33
this then Kimble made Jennifer's parents a chilling offer when we were done with
00:21:39
the conversation getting ready to leave then he came up and said if you stay until tomorrow I'll go up in the
00:21:44
mountains with you and take you up in the mountains to show you where she's at you didn't go with him neither did your
00:21:50
ex-wife no when when we why not when we got done talking at the picnic table and
00:21:55
stuff I'd already decided that Scott Kimble would killed my daughter I thought that if we went in
00:22:03
the mountains with him the next day or then that they'd never see us again when Jennifer's parents brought their
00:22:12
suspicions to agent Slough he dismissed them and defended his informant he trusted Scott Kimble and never should
00:22:19
have trusted Scott Kimble I always had the impression that the FBI had as meet Scott to make it so we would feel badly
00:22:28
about what Jennifer was doing and how she' been living in her life and I didn't care because I love
00:22:36
Jennifer and no matter what she did we want her back yeah yeah I think they really thought
00:22:46
that by doing this we would become one of the families that would just turn around and get on the airplane and go
00:22:55
back home and Jennifer would just be dis appear so Bob Markham took matters into
00:23:03
his own hands and put up a billboard next to the strip club where Jennifer had once danced we wanted to try and
00:23:10
find out if someone would come forward some information about her it worked and then June of ' 06 this would been a
00:23:17
couple months after Scott was apprehended I'm reading in the newspaper about Bob Markham putting up a billboard
00:23:24
for his missing daughter for Jennifer Markham and as I'm reading the story I come across Scott Kimble's name in the
00:23:30
story that he is the last one Jennifer was spending time with my heart about leapt out of my chest when Rob
00:23:40
called he said we have something in common he said my daughter disappeared and my ex-wife is married to Scott
00:23:50
Kimbell hungry for more information Bob went to see Lori McLoud and then I asked
00:23:56
Lori is there any anyone else that you could think of that you've been around you you and Scott that you haven't ever
00:24:06
seen again and it was just like a light bulb went off in her head she sat back in a chair and then she goes oh my
00:24:14
God she says Uncle Terry came and lived with us for a couple weeks and then he left and we've never seen him again
00:24:24
Scott kimbell's Uncle Terry kemell had vanished from their home in 2004 I immediately knew that I finally
00:24:34
had something to go to the FBI with so together Bob marham and Rob McLoud two fathers with missing
00:24:42
daughters marched into the FBI's Denver office and revealed their suspicions about Scott Kimble to the new supervisor
00:24:50
the final thing we told them is you guys have a choice you could be the hero or the zero either look into it or you can
00:24:56
be the zero and you can ignore us I think they took it as wow maybe there is something here we better look into
00:25:17
it in the fall of 2006 just weeks after Bob maram and Rob McLoud met with the FBI special agent Jonathan grusing was
00:25:26
assigned to investigate Scott Kimble if you had to pick one thing that drives Scott Kimble what is it greed most
00:25:35
likely and not only Greed for money but he craves attention and he craves power as well joining agent grusing on the
00:25:43
case was detective Gary Thatcher already a year into his own investigation of Kimbell together they embarked on the
00:25:52
most complex cat and mouse game of their careers as they began to interview kemell who was still in jail pending
00:25:59
fraud charges you know he's very good with coming up with stories and so when you're sitting there listening to him
00:26:05
you're thinking how do I prove this how do I disprove it how do I you know substantiate this with facts one of
00:26:12
kimbell's stories was that his Uncle Terry now missing for 2 years had won the Ohio Lottery and moved to Mexico
00:26:20
with a stripper the Ohio State Lottery never paid out to Terry Kimble he was never a winner the investigators
00:26:27
suspected Terry was murdered when Kimble discovered he had come into some money from a divorce Terry was carrying around
00:26:34
thousands and thousands of dollars in a briefcase he wouldn't let go of for me that's enough motive for him to kill
00:26:40
Terry next grusing and Thatcher focused on Jennifer Markham she had first come to Kimble's
00:26:48
attention when he shared a cell with her boyfriend Steve Enis back in 2002 and Scott Kimbell saw pictures of Jennifer
00:26:56
up on the wall and and she was a very attractive woman and he made such comments to Steve that he could find her
00:27:04
a good job when he got out of prison what was his real motive his real motive was to have Jennifer for
00:27:11
himself the con man also wanted to get out of prison and he had a plan Kimble convinced the FBI that Jennifer Markham
00:27:20
was part of a murder for higher plot no information that I have says that she even knew about this plot that Scott was
00:27:29
spinning when he was there in prison but the FBI bought kimbell's story at the time and when he was released in
00:27:36
December 2002 he went to work as an informant in the phony case 2 months later Jennifer
00:27:45
vanished but while grusing was trying to figure out what actually happened to Jennifer he got an unexpected
00:27:52
lead so I interviewed Steve Enis about Jennifer's disappearance and at the end of the interview when we were about to
00:28:01
wrap up he said oh and one other thing uh there was another guy down here in the prison that had a girlfriend
00:28:06
disappear that Scott might have had something to do with that inmate was Steven Holly Leanne Emmer's
00:28:15
boyriend I spoke with Mr Emy and said I'm doing an investigation I'm trying to speak with Leanne Emery and he said we
00:28:24
haven't seen Leanne since 2003 and when you heard those words what thoughts went through it did send a
00:28:30
chill down my spine uh because I knew then that this was going to be another victim of Scott
00:28:36
kemell investigators felt they could prove that when they found Leanne's picture her hair dyed Brown on kimbell's
00:28:43
laptop Boulder County prosecutor Amy akubo oh my God the last person that Casey was known to be with was Scott
00:28:51
Kimble oh my God the last person that Jennifer Markham was known to be with was Scott Kimble oh my God uh Leanne
00:28:57
Emery was the last person that Scott Kimble was with and so bit by bit piece by piece it became apparent just how
00:29:04
dangerous he was but there were still no bodies and the con man was admitting to nothing
00:29:12
investigators kept pushing and finally in April 2008 Kimble dropped a hint he said in this meeting that there was a
00:29:20
girl who died of a drug overdose that was on National Forest land grusing had a receipt showing
00:29:29
Kimble was in Walden Colorado near a national forest that same weekend Casey McLoud went missing he called the forest
00:29:38
service I asked if they had any missing people up there I ended up speaking with
00:29:43
uh basically the phone receptionist and she said no but a skull was found up here last winter so maybe you can check
00:29:49
on that a hunter had stumbled across the skull grusing ordered a DNA test on the
00:29:57
remains and they proved to be Casey mcclouds finally the Scott Kimble case was an official homicide investigation
00:30:09
and he went to Great Links to conceal these bodies and I believe he thought no one would ever find
00:30:18
them after four long years Rob McLoud finally had an answer to his prayers one way or another she she's coming home
00:30:28
she's not lost [Music] anymore and Lori mccloud's worst nightmares were realized what do you
00:30:40
think really happened I believe Scott planted the drugs to set everything up that was to get her out of the house yes
00:30:48
so he can get her to separate us yes you find out that the man that you married the man who said he was going to be
00:30:55
there to help you find Casey you now find out that he may have been the one who killed her yes it's
00:31:02
impossible to describe knowing that you've married your daughter's murderer but with no evidence of how
00:31:12
Casey died and with no other bodies prosecutors worried they still did not have enough to put kemell on trial for
00:31:20
murder meeting after meeting after meeting and briefing and continual here's all the evidence that we have do
00:31:27
you think think we have enough yet in December 2008 prosecutors got one step closer to putting kemell away for good
00:31:36
when he was sentenced to 48 years on his recent nonviolent crimes but lead prosecutor Katarina Booth wanted more
00:31:45
what we wanted him marked for of course is the violent you know murderer that he
00:31:51
is so prosecutors made a difficult decision they offered kemell a deal no charges of first-degree murder if he
00:32:00
would lead them to the three missing bodies Kimble accepted and in the winter of 2009 he led authorities to the remote
00:32:08
Canyons of Eastern Utah where he claimed they would find the remains of Leanne Emery and Jennifer
00:32:19
Markham every day he was full of energy and he gave us to-do list did you do this did you get satellite imagery did
00:32:26
you get a plane to fly me Kimble spent days leading the FBI and the Grand County Sheriff's Department on
00:32:33
a fruitless search for Leanne but then agent grusing spotted something this is it right in here right
00:32:42
in here yep what exactly did you see down there some bones where the big boulder
00:32:48
is and then um there was a rock to the left lifted up the Rock and it was a hair clip with
00:32:55
hair by that time and it was her Leanne Emory had Lan on this lonely Canyon ledge for 6 years she had a high
00:33:09
potential and she just she took the wrong for got involved with the wrong people and she didn't deserve this found
00:33:18
near her bones was a spent bullet it matched Scott kimbell's gun we believe that Scott marched her up here and
00:33:27
executed her [Music] why do you suppose Scott kemell murdered Leanne Leanne had been dragged into
00:33:38
laundering money for Scott so I believe that Leanne had served her purpose and that he was done with her and that's why
00:33:46
he took her up here and killed her now only one missing woman remained but is this suspected serial
00:33:55
killer finally ready to reveal what happened to Jennifer Markham do you know where her remains are you know I I
00:34:02
believe I do I think Scott enjoys manipulating people he's very good at twisting the
00:34:23
truth after taking investigators to the body of Leanne Emer Scott Kimble told them where to find the
00:34:30
remains of his Uncle Terry but his leads about Jennifer markham's body in Utah turned up empty we not only searched it
00:34:38
with Scott here we came back and searched it with Grand County with can9 units we searched it with a geologist we
00:34:45
flown over it with airplanes and nothing's here do you know exactly where she is no I I believe I'm uh I know the
00:34:52
area the area we have to realize I was at the location one time it was dark I was there once Scott kemell insists
00:35:02
he's trying to help find Jennifer but is it just another con I've made every effort to help them with Jennifer I've
00:35:10
told them I'd take a polygraph to make sure that I'm being truthful in the direction that I've given him what I
00:35:14
remember he's very methodical he's very careful where he puts his victims and I give it basically zero probability that
00:35:23
he has forgotten where Jennifer Markham is nevertheless in October 2009 the families of Scott kimbell's victims
00:35:36
Gather in court it was nice to be able to be there to look him in the eye and you know watch him take some
00:35:42
accountability the con man had been charged with second deegree murder Scott Lee Kimble caused death of
00:35:49
Terry Kimble and Scott Lee Kimble caused the death of Jennifer Markham lean Emery
00:35:54
and Casey Cloud how do you believe guilty or not guilty guilty and with that word guilty a
00:36:04
Monumental 6-year case finally comes to an end you never gave up for those families because you can only imagine
00:36:11
the torture they went through and um their distress and sadness and now Bob marham and Rob
00:36:20
McLoud the two fathers whose determination forced the FBI to investigate what happened to their
00:36:27
orders addressed the court Casey Don McLoud was my firstborn daughter I was present right there the
00:36:35
very first moment she took her first breath Scott Kimble was there to take her last Scott Kimble has destroyed our
00:36:43
lives our lives will never be the same how many other people are missing as a result of his life Mr
00:36:52
em and Howard Emery finally confronts Hannibal my was a young woman with feelings and dreams and to treat her
00:37:01
like trash is Despicable he is a liar a deceiver a murderer for the deaths of four people Scott Kimbell is sentenced
00:37:12
to 70 years but he insists he's not a serial killer I'm just a guy people could call me cold blooded cold-hearted
00:37:21
but you'll find dozens of people that will say just the opposite he'll give you the shirt off his back he freely
00:37:26
admits only to the murder of his own uncle and speaks in riddles about the three young women I did Kill Terry
00:37:34
Kimbell I did and for the other three I was a mechanism I was part of the mechanics okay mechanism could be many
00:37:42
things mechanism could be the person pulling trigger it could be it could be the person that that arranged for the
00:37:48
hit or the death or whatever you want to call it I there's a lot a lot it could be if there were other people involved
00:37:52
who committed the murders you're not going to reveal who it was never will I reveal who it was I'm not the FBI I'm
00:37:58
not the police investigators say Kimble won't name accomplices for a very good reason
00:38:05
they don't exist I think the the murders of these women are very private to him I
00:38:11
believe there was some sort of sexual attraction for him as well that he doesn't like to talk
00:38:16
about I believe that's why he's able to take responsibility for Uncle Terry's death because it was purely for
00:38:21
financial gain but there was something else involved with Scott and these three girls whatever Darkness fuels Scott
00:38:29
kimbell's murderous Rampage the victim's families are grateful the FBI finally helped unmask the killer did anyone from
00:38:39
the FBI ever apologize to you or repeatedly they says we're sorry this has all happened he Hoodwinked us he's
00:38:46
fooled everybody yet they remain angry at the system and agent Carl sloff whose negligence they say gave Kimble the
00:38:56
freedom to commit the murders if someone were watching scottt Casey would still be here
00:39:01
today Jennifer was the person he was led out of prison to Monitor and she went missing almost
00:39:08
immediately Jim Davis of the FBI's Denver office says the FBI cannot constantly monitor criminal
00:39:16
informants we can't control them 24 hours a day we just we don't have the resources to do that and really we don't
00:39:24
have the authority to to do it you know this case is a tragedy I me it's a tragedy for the victims it's a tragedy
00:39:31
for the victim's families but to be clear you know the individual responsible for that is Scott Kimbell
00:39:37
and it's not the FBI it's not uh it's not anybody else it is him he did it and I know we use the phrase dealing with
00:39:43
the devil I guess you were dealing with the devil in this case he is as close as
00:39:47
I've seen what remains are shattered lives but at least two lost daughters have finally come
00:40:00
home as long as I'm alive uh her memory is always going to be there and I have to reconcile the fact
00:40:09
that I won't ever see her again Casey's loss is like the background noise of my life I can find
00:40:19
joy and happiness and feel normal a lot of the time but when it's quiet she's that background noise that's always
00:40:30
there however the search for Jennifer Markham continues as her father waits for news
00:40:38
that may never come he takes solace in the fact that it was his perseverance that helped put his daughter's killer
00:40:46
away the possibility today exists that you may never know where she's buried that's true I really would like to have
00:40:55
my daughter's body pack but knowing that Scott Kimble is in prison and that he's not going to be
00:41:02
getting out of prison for at least 35 years means more to me than you can imagine and to me my daughter souls in
00:41:12
heaven and wherever her body is it'll be joined back with her soul someday [Music]
