Detective Cole says that the interview of Eugene in the files isn't thorough at all because in his opinion
00:00:06
that investigator sort of gave Eugene a quote little military pass like kind of good old military boy thing unquote.
00:00:14
How was that allowed? It just was. Um again, how is a lot of the stuff in this case happening? I don't know. But
00:00:22
anyways, army buddy clears him. That works for [music] them. On to Roy Hash. He is a San Miguel resident who lives
00:00:29
near the Floreses, owned a van, knew the girls, and was also known to have driven
00:00:34
them from [music] place to place on occasion. >> So they could have jumped in his car no
00:00:39
questions asked. >> Yes, probably. And he is on one of their lists. He is a known child predator with sexual
00:00:46
assault accusations from his own family members, according to Detective Cole. So he becomes a strong person of
00:00:53
interest. But he also seems to just be super elusive. Like Detective Cole says that
00:01:00
if this guy came [music] up today, he would be trying everything to get in front of him for an interview. But at
00:01:06
the time, Detective Cole says they quote kept missing him. Yeah. And when one detective finally
00:01:12
does catch him, the interview is super brief. Like there is one paragraph in the files about talking to this guy.
00:01:20
And Roy basically says he knew the girls, loved the girls, and would never have hurt the girls.
00:01:25
And with that, as has become routine in this case, investigators drop it. Are they just expecting the killer to
00:01:37
be honest with them about it and confess to everything when they ask him the first time? Like what is going on here?
00:01:44
I don't know what they were expecting for the three years that this went on. But if a confession is what they were
00:01:51
waiting for, then come 1983, that is exactly what they get.
