00:00:00
foreign [Music] little small town Niles has this brutal Savage murder there are kids that grew up locking
00:00:17
their doors and being scared when they went to bed at night just because of this case
00:00:22
Roxanne wood in 1987 was married to Terry Wood Roxanne and Terry went to the bowling
00:00:31
alley and arrived in separate cars Roxanne left earlier than Terry he just wanted to keep with the fun he was
00:00:40
having and Roxanne wanted to get home and go to bed Terry arrives home and notices Roxanne
00:00:49
laying in the kitchen he notices a pool of blood on the floor she was bleeding profusely from her neck my
00:01:04
phone and I could tell something was bad wrong he just broke down he just said someone murdered your sister
00:01:16
Iraq being the rock of the family she didn't have an enemy out there who just randomly breaks in and does
00:01:24
this to someone she was sexually assaulted the assailant left his DNA but in terms of the essential evidence
00:01:33
based on what was there this went cold fairly quickly did it not based off of what they had to go on yeah the DNA
00:01:39
technology wasn't there to really to follow up and go through on and there was absolutely not a lot more to go off
00:01:46
how frustrating was it that no one had been arrested no Beyond frustrating I was starting to lose hope
00:02:02
Dr Ashland Kirsten and I had been talking about involving the students at Western in a Cold Case project when we
00:02:12
first got the file it was just an amazing amount of data it just looked overwhelming some of the
00:02:20
documents are older than I am then we would have to sort through if it was relevant information or not
00:02:25
hours upon hours to scan all this stuff they were able to organize that report where we were able to put a key word in
00:02:34
and search across that entire document 3500 Pages how important was that hugely important I was hopeful that we would be
00:02:42
able to solve the case or move the case forward or that someone who came after us would
00:02:49
the first thing that I did was I requested access to the case File it was very easy to read through quite quickly
00:02:58
due to the work of the students Gabriella Vargas is a genetic genealogist probably one of the best in
00:03:06
the country if not the world but I'm also a pink haired tattooed mom from California
00:03:16
who enjoys woodworking and gardening describe the size of the DNA material that you had to work with it was 28
00:03:27
picograms so small that you could never see it with the the naked eye just a speck of a speck of a speck very very
00:03:37
very small amount of DNA it was deemed unsolvable prior to my involvement Roxanne Woods family was my motivation
00:03:49
for working as hard and as fast as I did they never gave up hope that one day Justice would be served
00:03:59
they have a Facebook page Janet Wood had made a post on the page one day Rock one day and I screamed out
00:04:10
at the top of my lungs no today's your day Rock today's your day [Music] laughs [Music]
00:04:53
[Music] foreign Woods remembers February 20 1987 like it was yesterday he was just 14 years old I
00:05:18
was getting ready for school and I can remember my mom pounding on the bathroom door saying to hurry up she needed to
00:05:25
talk to me hours earlier Brad's 30 year old sister Roxanne known as rock had been nearby in her Niles Michigan home
00:05:34
alone when she was viciously attacked her throat slashed when I came out you know she had told me that she had gotten
00:05:43
a call that rock had been killed devastated Roxanne's family couldn't imagine why anyone would want to harm
00:05:51
her she always made people think you were her best friend she just loved everyone
00:05:59
High School graduation Gorgeous Hair definitely had the hair she was tall statuesque she dressed to
00:06:08
the nines that was very important to her she was very classy Janet Wood could not
00:06:13
help but admire her older sister their parents were divorced and Roxanne had taken on a maternal role with her
00:06:21
siblings with divorced parents a lot of times you feel like you're being shuffled between you know house to house
00:06:27
and the one thing that was always stable for me was with rock she was being Mom to you yeah
00:06:35
rock you know she was always there she was a rock she was she was Roxanne's last name would eventually
00:06:43
change from Woods to wood in walks Terry and rock after meeting Future Husband Terry Wood shortly after she graduated
00:06:52
from high school she was working at his father's company Terry was still in high
00:06:57
school on the wrestling team and and he walks and he's in his wrestling shorts and whatever she said that was the
00:07:04
nicest looking legs she ever saw and she was just Smitten by him right away Roxanne and Terry married in 1982.
00:07:14
she said was it happiest day of her life six years later Janet would change her name from Woods to wood as well when she
00:07:23
married Terry's brother Rob both brothers wound up working for the family business
00:07:29
for Roxanne and Terry it proved to be a bit too much togetherness they got dressed in the morning together and they
00:07:38
rode to work together and they came home for lunch together and then they went back to work together Roxanne's solution
00:07:44
taking a job at nearby South Bend Indiana a little time apart seemed to help the marriage very very content
00:07:54
happy looking forward to starting a family February 19 1987 started out as a typical Thursday
00:08:03
evening for the couple they met for dinner at a restaurant in downtown Niles after work and then went to a local
00:08:10
bowling alley arriving in separate cars from the report you could tell when Roxanne entered that bowling alley all
00:08:20
eyes were on her Michigan state police detective Sergeant John Moore there wasn't a whole lot of ladies there
00:08:26
because this was the men's bowling league so she drew some attention as midnight approached Roxanne was ready to
00:08:33
call it a night but Terry wanted to stay there's Witnesses where Terry and she said goodnight to each other hug kiss
00:08:42
love you drive safe after Roxanne headed home Terry stayed behind and bowled another game he then
00:08:50
headed home and arrived here about 45 minutes after his wife Terry entered the house through the
00:08:57
garage and once inside He Came Upon a horrific site she was laying on the floor she had her
00:09:06
nightgown on he said there was a lot of blood according to detective first lieutenant Chuck Christensen Terry said
00:09:15
he rushed over to Roxanne he got behind her according to him and picked her head
00:09:20
up and held her head to see if she was alive to see if she was alive yes finding no signs of Life
00:09:27
Terry grabbed the phone and called the local police station [Music] Terry noticed that her panties were down
00:09:37
around her knee slash ankle area her nightgown was pulled up now listen to me okay at times Terry seemed to get
00:09:47
belligerent with the person trying to help him get some information the dispatcher kept Terry on the phone I
00:10:07
don't scream into the farm because the phone distorts and I can't understand you that well okay
00:10:14
no I'm trying to get some information from you okay Terry's aggressive demeanor on the phone
00:10:21
quickly became a red flag according to investigators is that suspicious Behavior to you it's a bit suspicious
00:10:29
typically they're in shock distraught but not normally do you hear that anger component in there to the level that it
00:10:38
is in this one detective Sergeant Jason Bailey says a seat of Suspicion grew even more once police arrived at the
00:10:47
home he definitely had fits of Rage I know at one point he was screaming they wanted his supervisor a sergeant there
00:10:52
is he making himself a suspect by this kind of behavior everybody reacts differently but based on this abnormal
00:11:00
reaction I believe he was making himself a suspect First Responders eventually had no choice but to subdue Terry by
00:11:10
placing him in the back of a patrol car and when they drove him down to the police post for routine questioning
00:11:16
Terry quickly asked for an attorney which set off more alarm bells for investigators the detective at that time
00:11:25
told him within five to ten minutes you did this and I will not rest until I put
00:11:32
you away forever an investigator said that to Terry I believe I believe you're the Killer and I will not rest until
00:11:40
you're behind bars [Music] thank you as investigators began piecing together clues in Roxanne Woods rape and murder
00:12:02
the emerging picture offered up just one suspect her husband Terry there was no sign of any forced entry
00:12:10
did that raise eyebrows absolutely but Terry told police they'd been having problems with the lock on the back door
00:12:20
claiming it didn't work investigators however remain suspicious we have a sheath up here of a fillet
00:12:29
knife located near the body knife presumed to be the murder weapon had been taken from a kitchen drawer it
00:12:38
was never found that would be odd that a killer would come to a house without a weapon
00:12:46
Terry told police that he'd slipped in Roxanne's blood as he lifted her head to check on her but there were no blood
00:12:54
smears indicating he'd actually done that investigators thought they discovered a
00:13:01
potential motive when they looked into Roxanne and Terry's past we did uncover a extramarital affair by both parties by
00:13:11
both parties yeah and so when you have a murder like this and you learn there was
00:13:16
some infidelity are you wondering could jealousy have been a motive absolutely I remember the detective saying it was
00:13:25
rage it's only someone close to her would have this kind of Rage I never bought that Janet firmly
00:13:31
believed in Terry's innocence I just knew him too well so that just didn't fit with what I knew Terry wasn't a
00:13:40
rageful guy he may have a sharp tongue occasionally but never a violent person despite strongly suspecting Terry
00:13:50
investigators didn't believe there was enough evidence to charge him after just a few months the case went cold leaving
00:13:57
a cloud of Suspicion hanging over Terry declined our request for an interview I'd heard stories that at times he'd
00:14:07
walk into a place and somebody who would call him slash DNA was left at the crime scene a sample
00:14:14
was preserved but given the limitations on technology back in 1987 not much could be done with it
00:14:22
still Roxanne's family never gave up I didn't lose hope ever I mean this guy just didn't do this and
00:14:32
then lead a clean pristine life the rest of his life DNA technology evolved eventually allowing the sample to be
00:14:40
uploaded to the criminal database CODIS in 1999 but no match was returned as disappointing as that was everyone was
00:14:50
hopeful that the DNA would at least clear Terry when it was tested against his the result it wasn't Terry's DNA so
00:15:00
did that eliminate Terry as a person of interest as a suspect in this case no why not it's not his semen just because
00:15:08
you find semen in somebody doesn't necessarily mean that that person is the one that killed them
00:15:17
after that the case offered no new leads until 2020 after more than three decades
00:15:24
of compiling thousands of reports police were drowning in paperwork that's when a
00:15:30
professor and an Innovative group of students here at Western Michigan University figured out a way to speed up
00:15:37
the investigation The Real World experience I think is is priceless see that Marine Dr Ashlyn Kirsten teaches a
00:15:45
criminal justice studies program for years she's been talking to detective Christensen about how her students might
00:15:52
help on a Cold Case what a great partnership that would be if we could ever make something like
00:15:58
that happen so the professor and the detective came up with a plan Dr Kirsten's students would process around
00:16:05
3 500 pages of documents accumulated since the day Roxanne was murdered into a single digitized database Samantha
00:16:17
Rogers was one of several students who worked on the case the officers are able to search by name and see if they've
00:16:24
already been interviewed if they needed a follow-up they can search locations things that they wouldn't be able to do
00:16:30
just flipping through thousands of pages Mackenzie stowman says that decades-old
00:16:35
files were a solemn reminder of how long some victims wait for justice it gave a
00:16:42
sense of gravity to what we were doing that these cases have gone unsolved for that long
00:16:49
around the same time the students began crunching data Christensen decided it was time for a Hail Mary pass
00:16:59
Colleen Fitzpatrick is the president and founder of identifinders international a
00:17:05
company that specializes in genetic genealogy it's been used in forensic cases to help identify
00:17:12
unidentified remains and violent offenders for violent crimes Christensen hired her genealogy company
00:17:20
to examine the tiny amount of DNA left from Roxanne's case we found out there was what I would call
00:17:28
a gnat's eyebrow of DNA left about three percent of what we normally use that was
00:17:34
the lowest amount of DNA we've ever had to work with to solve a case identifinders spent about 10 months
00:17:42
working with the data the sample produced but came up empty it really did feel impossible it really did then one
00:17:51
day in April 2021 Colleen happened to be chatting with investigative genetic genealogist Gabriella Vargas who worked
00:18:00
as a consultant for identifinders and I said well why don't you let me look at it I concluded that I did not stand with
00:18:11
the others I believed that this case was extremely solvable and I believe that I
00:18:19
could solve it so Gabriella got to work incredibly she was able to generate a genetic profile from The Killers trace
00:18:27
DNA it tells me where their ancestral Origins come from are they Eastern European are they Mediterranean are they
00:18:36
African-American and what was the race of this person Caucasian Gabriella then turned to an online DNA service when
00:18:45
consumers use DNA sites like 23andMe and ancestry.com they can take their results
00:18:51
and upload them to a broader database called GED match in the hope of finding more relatives they can choose to opt
00:19:00
into law enforcement matching if they do that I can see if they are a match to my
00:19:07
suspect Gabriella was able to use Jed match and the genetic profile she developed to start to build the family
00:19:15
tree of Roxanne's killer how far back did you go in time one side of the tree the ancestor was 1823 on the
00:19:25
other side the top ancestor was 1797. essentially what we're looking for amongst these matches are where they
00:19:34
connect to each other and it led me to a union couple a union couple is where two
00:19:41
sides of the family tree meet this couple was born around 1920. based on that we can presume that they would
00:19:51
have kids around 1940 maybe 1950. it would have to be one of their children the couple she found had three sons she
00:20:02
let the detectives know they did background checks and eliminated two of The Three Brothers as possibilities they
00:20:09
were down to the last brother he's been involved in a lot of different things violent things violent things
00:20:16
sexual deviant things you name it he's probably been involved in it and you connect the DNA with someone who has a
00:20:23
history of violent Behavior you got yourself a suspect absolutely how do you feel about sharing your DNA
00:20:32
search results with law enforcement join the conversation now on social media [Music]
00:20:46
[Music] after 34 years and one last chance at solving this case with a speck of DNA
00:20:55
too small to see with the human eye detective Chuck christensen's daring bet paid off big and to know that we had
00:21:05
come to this point was simply amazing Michigan State Police now believed they had finally Tracked Down Roxanne Woods
00:21:14
killer we were confident now we were going to solve this and make an arrest you could now pinpoint who that
00:21:25
individual was that had committed these awful crimes and who is that person that
00:21:31
individual is Patrick kill him Patrick Gillum a man who was living just a few miles
00:21:38
from where he allegedly raped and murdered Roxanne wood [Music] and it turns out he had a troubled past
00:21:48
had been a drinker is he into drugs using the drugs just an individual that was lost in life and a bad individual based
00:22:00
on his background when detectives dug into gillum's criminal history they found a connection
00:22:07
to another disturbing case eight years before Roxanne's attack my wife Maureen was attacked by Patrick
00:22:16
Gillum in 1979. Robert and Maureen farig and their two young daughters lived in Gary Indiana
00:22:24
back in September of 1979. we were just kind of blossoming into adulthood with the kids with our lifestyle with
00:22:36
our jobs Robert was economic director for the city and Maureen was an art teacher at the local Middle School what
00:22:45
is it about Maureen that you fell in love with wow I can't say one thing only she was very attractive which has caught
00:22:53
my eye she was so nice people gravitated to her because of her warm personality one night while making his way home from
00:23:03
a business trip Robert called Maureen with a favor I said Maureen I don't have my keys to the house
00:23:11
so could you leave the side door open at around 11 at night Robert turned onto his Street
00:23:18
he'll never forget what he saw when I pull up I see the police cars Robert quickly found Maureen who calmly
00:23:27
told him she was in bed when she was startled awake by a noise downstairs Maureen sees the sky going through her
00:23:35
purse he got scared whatever and chased her more each started going upstairs and he
00:23:42
grabbed her at the bottom of the stairs and got on top of her and he tried his best to molester he wasn't successful
00:23:52
Maureen told Robert the man then took her purse and fled throughout the attack Marine had stayed
00:24:00
quiet she didn't want to awaken her two girls that takes an incredible amount of
00:24:09
Courage she was willing to sacrifice herself there if need be to protect her one and three-year-old daughters Maureen
00:24:17
had a lot more than courage she had striped about a week later Gillum was pulled
00:24:23
over in Gary for a traffic violation a police officer noticed credit cards on the seat next to him
00:24:30
they were Marines police officer called me and said we picked a guy up we're bringing him into
00:24:37
the station when he was interviewed by police he said all I remember is going into the house and I blacked out and
00:24:45
woke up with my pants around my ankles Patrick killum was charged with burglary and unlawful deviate conduct he pleaded
00:24:55
guilty and was sentenced to 14 years in Indiana State Prison how did you go on with life from that
00:25:03
point we forgot about it we changed our house we changed our neighborhood she never told anybody because she felt that
00:25:11
was a private issue Patrick Gillum served just seven years of his 14-year sentence about four
00:25:20
months after his release police believe Gillum assaulted Roxanne wood criminals learn as they go and I believe
00:25:31
he learned from that first crime he did that I better not leave this witness alive because I will be in
00:25:37
prison for a long long time Maureen died in 2018 from cancer not knowing anything about the Roxanne wood
00:25:46
case now armed with their DNA evidence investigators were ready to move in on Patrick Gillum
00:25:55
at this point we decide to get a surreptitious sample to compare to the profile that we had from Brock sand wood
00:26:03
from the scene and we do this through our undercover surveillance team I'm Ryan cotty and I am a trooper with
00:26:15
the Michigan State Police and you do some undercover work from time to time I do I'm assigned with a fugitive recovery
00:26:21
team for the fifth district in May 2021 Connie and his team surveilled Gillum in South Bend for days
00:26:29
on end and picked up a crucial clue that would Aid them in collecting his DNA we
00:26:36
noticed that he was a smoker and why does that help you just in the simple fact that uh you know when you're
00:26:42
smoking it's a great source of DNA you have your lips directly on the butt of the cigarette and your saliva gets in
00:26:49
the cigarette hot on gillum's Tale the team witnessed their target flick a cigarette butt
00:26:56
outside his truck window while driving and so oh boy you're rubbing your hands you're going
00:27:02
this is going to be that final piece of the puzzle that you had talked about right yes but there's a twist
00:27:10
we sent that up to the lab right away a couple days later their lab director calls me and he said it's not a match
00:27:17
foreign [Music] if it's not a match it's not a match detective Moore says investigators were
00:27:38
shocked when the lab called to say the DNA sample from Patrick gillum's cigarette butt did not match Roxanne's
00:27:46
killer who are scratching our heads I called the trooper that grabbed that cigarette butt and I said is there any
00:27:53
way at all that you lost sight of that when it flipped out of his finger and he said a card drove by right then
00:28:01
it was possible the cigarette butt tested was not gillums the only thing logically that we can do is go back and
00:28:09
get another one So Undercover Trooper Ryan cotty headed back to work once again tailing Gillum he pulled into this
00:28:17
laundromat which we saw as a window of opportunity that he would most likely be coming out to take a smoke break
00:28:24
this time Cody was determined not to lose sight of gillum's discarded cigarette butt for even a moment and
00:28:32
instead of tailing him in a car Cody followed Gillum on foot I'm not a smoker and there was a gas station right over
00:28:40
on the corner that I saw and I I was like well you know I need to go over and get a pack of cigarettes and sit on the
00:28:46
The Crib next to the laundromat he came and took a seat probably about six to eight feet away from me and we had to
00:28:53
smoke together so how did you strike up a conversation with him I just tried to say hi to him made some small
00:28:58
conversation he liked the Red Wings it wasn't long before Gillum finished his cigarette and went back inside I saw him
00:29:06
throw his cigarette which was right in about this area so it was great situation because the
00:29:13
cigarette was by itself so I pull out a uh a glove and go over and I picked the cigarette up with my hand was it still
00:29:20
slow it was it was still warm yes it was so I wrapped it up inside that glove I stuck it in my pocket and and headed out
00:29:28
investigators held their breath until the results from Gillum cigarette butt came back it was a perfect match to the
00:29:36
DNA left at the 1987 crime scene I was ecstatic I was very very happy but investigators were not yet ready to make
00:29:45
an arrest opting to bring Gillum in for an interview in July 2021. if you're not
00:29:52
in trouble you're here voluntarily detective Bailey says they told Gillum they needed to question him about an old
00:29:59
case do you know anybody by the name of Roxanne he explains to us I know two Roxanne's and he said one's a stripper
00:30:06
one's a drug addict Gillum was shown a picture of Roxanne wood that girl look familiar you ever met
00:30:12
heard over never met her maybe that's a newer pictures and here's an older picture then Gillum was shown a second
00:30:20
photo of Roxanne I've never seen her never met her don't know who she is and I said well we're
00:30:27
here to talk to you about her this This Woman's been assaulted there's too much you can see his body just tense up and
00:30:34
almost to the point of hyperventilation and started shaking through his hands you know back in the air
00:30:41
I've never had a reaction out of somebody like that in 23 years of doing this because he continued talking I got
00:30:48
to talk to my lawyer at that time he requested to speak to his attorney I talked to my lawyer man in February 2022
00:30:55
just days shy of the 35th anniversary of Roxanne's murder Patrick Gillum was arrested at his South Bend Indiana home
00:31:06
family has waited 35 years for Roxanne's Brother Brad Woods it didn't seem real it was nothing like I had ever played in
00:31:17
my mind of how I would be when they came to the door to say we've got them detective Christensen then met face to
00:31:24
face with the man who had lived four decades with cruel rumors and doubt Terry Wood I sat him down explain he was
00:31:33
no longer Person of Interest and we knew he had nothing to do with it how did he
00:31:38
react he was very emotional he started crying of course was bewildered and in shock
00:31:46
as a 35 year old burden was lifted off Terry the hammer was about to fall for Gillum you're under arrest okay
00:31:55
investigators questioned him for five and a half hours at a police station in South Bend with Gillum only asking for
00:32:03
an attorney at the very end at times he spoke in circles what are you saying I did so went
00:32:12
pressed on it he kept saying you guys are telling me I did this and if I did this I'm a monster I'm a monster man if
00:32:21
I did that that's a monster that's a monster man only a monster would do this let me ask you this how do you think
00:32:29
your DNA was found with her I have no clue how do you think I have no clue man said that several times during the
00:32:39
interview when he was confronted with the case facts he kept saying I don't remember I don't remember I don't
00:32:45
remember doing that but Janet says gillum's reaction when he was questioned seven months prior proved
00:32:53
he was lying now he visibly reacted shook like a leaf leaned back in his chair pounding his chest I gotta talk to
00:33:04
my lawyer I think I need a lawyer you tell me he doesn't remember what he did Gillum was charged with Roxanne's murder
00:33:13
but had a golden opportunity to apprehend him decades earlier slipped through investigators fingers I truly
00:33:21
believe that I would have been raped and murdered see more of the evidence and timeline
00:33:29
the eighthours.com in the summer of 1987 just months after Roxanne wood was murdered in her home
00:33:41
her alleged killer crossed paths with yet another woman it was a hot night in South Bend Indiana
00:33:49
when Rose Caporal went outside to her front lawn I was standing on there watering and all of a sudden I hear this
00:33:57
loud car coming down the street Rose standing alone says she noticed a blue El Camino similar to this one driven by
00:34:06
a stranger getting closer I looked and he had a tail light out on the car about three four minutes later I hear the same
00:34:13
car coming back down this street now it had a bad Muffler right well the muffler
00:34:18
was loud I just got a feeling that something just wasn't right and by the time I got
00:34:25
happily to my front door a man came around the corner of the house he had a stocking cap on and he had a full beard
00:34:34
all you could basically see was his eyes I just turned and ran screaming down the
00:34:39
street have you ever run faster in your life than that moment and I'm not a runner that I ran Rose says she ran to a
00:34:47
neighbor's house and called local police but the assailant had escaped what do you believe would have happened if that
00:34:54
man had caught up to you my thought was he was going to rape me a few days later
00:34:59
while Rose and her family were driving to dinner her daughter Tina says she spotted that same blue El Camino with a
00:35:06
burned out tail light in a parking lot my mom says right away that's the car stunned Rose and Tina saved they went to
00:35:15
call the police leaving Rose's husband Stan a retired Marine waiting for the car's owner I came back to my dad
00:35:24
holding a gun at the attacker sitting on the ground Tina says her father demanded the man hand over his
00:35:31
driver's license they say the name on that license Patrick Gillum we had never heard the name before
00:35:39
Rose says the police never arrived so Stan lowered his gun and let Gillum leave she says she later reported the
00:35:47
incident at the South Bend Police Station we didn't pursue it because we figured you know they would be doing
00:35:53
something with it no arrest was ever made decades later when Rose saw the report of Gillen being arrested for
00:36:01
Roxanne Woods Murder She and Tina decided to tell their story to the Michigan police imagine if the police
00:36:09
had come they might have solved Roxanne Woods case just a few months after it had occurred possible yes and
00:36:18
opportunity lost yeah yeah it uh it could have went that way but in April 2022 gilliam's Day of Reckoning finally
00:36:29
came when he walked in I openly said Peace I didn't realize I was saying it as loudly as I did in a Michigan court
00:36:39
he faced some of the people whose lives he had viciously altered he made eye contact with me he sat down and he
00:36:48
looked up and he stared right in my face even though Gillum had insisted to investigators that he didn't remember
00:36:57
murdering Roxanne he later pleaded no contest to second-degree murder and now everyone waited for his sentence to be
00:37:06
handed down it was almost like being face to face with the devil I remember being
00:37:12
shaky and nervous and just I I just couldn't believe I'm sitting this close to the person that that did this
00:37:19
Brad and Janet finally got the chance to address the man who killed their sister
00:37:25
all those years ago Patrick Gillum is a very definition of a nightmare women fear our whole lives
00:37:32
Gillum appeared confused as though he'd seen a ghost when looking at Janet he wore headphones in order to hear Janet
00:37:41
does look a lot like rock he was probably in shock seeing her sitting there his actions gave all of us a life
00:37:48
sentence well he got to live most of his as a free man and we are here today to see him finally pay something for what
00:37:56
he's done which is likely the rest of his life in a cage like the vile animal that he is
00:38:03
it seems people like him tend to find Jesus in prison don't bother looking because the devil
00:38:09
will be the only one greeting you when it was his turn to speak Gillum offered an apology and a prayer I can't believe
00:38:17
I did what I did and I pray for them every night and I am so sorry I just hope that sometimes in
00:38:25
the future but God's help that they could start to forgive me the judge sentenced Gillum who was 67 at the time
00:38:32
to a minimum of 23 years in prison sitting in court Terry Wood now Vindicated watched as his wife's real
00:38:42
killer was led away Robert farig witnessed Terry's pain firsthand I shook his hand he was you
00:38:51

00:38:58
met Terry was cleared and his wife's killer found thanks in large part to advances
