00:03:50
understanding the ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks
00:03:59
seeks to destroy instead of diminishing evil it multiplies it through violence you may murder the

Here chaos or Community by Dr Martin Luther King Jr this is true crime [Music] garage Longacre Lane is the True Crime
00:05:19
Story of a still very much ongoing case crimes that took place in Northern Ohio and the story starts with a series of
00:05:27
events and horrific crimes that started in early 2011 now the name of the road Longacre
00:05:36
Lane makes it sound like this road is a long Winding Road out somewhere in the countryside but it is not Longacre Lane
00:05:45
which is the location at the very center of this week's case is not a very large
00:05:50
Street at all Longacre Lane is in the near center of a really cool looking neighborhood it's located in Holland
00:05:58
Ohio which is best described as the greater Toledo area a suburb of Toledo and for those of you outside of the
00:06:07
great state of Ohio Toledo is in the northern part of our state right up there by the old Michigan Ohio
00:06:15
border Longacre Lane is a pretty average sized street with only nine houses it's
00:06:23
a unique looking neighborhood because there's everything here from average size homes and lot to very large homes
00:06:30
and properties some of the homes have swimming pools a couple have both a swimming pool and a tennis court and
00:06:38
there is one property that features a very large pond the nine houses on Long Acre Lane are somewhere in between the
00:06:47
two ends of this spectrum the homes are a little larger than average and the properties appear to be a little more
00:06:55
than an acre for each lot but these are not mcmansions but just very nice larger
00:07:03
homes and lots the property that we will be discussing this week is 2161 Longacre Lane it's a home located
00:07:14
in the middle of the street surrounded by other homes on all sides the two individuals that are at the center of
00:07:22
this case are Johnny Clark and Lisa strob yeah we're going to be talking a lot about Johnny Clark and Lisa St up
00:07:29
Johnny Clark and his mother and father are M and John Clark and we are also going to be
00:07:38
talking about Johnny Clark's girlfriend Lisa strob and her parents Jeff and Mary
00:07:44
Beth strob so let's start with Johnny I've always really liked the name Johnny but his given name is John S
00:07:53
Clark but almost always known as Johnny now back in 2011 where we pick up the story Johnny is 21 years old Johnny was
00:08:04
always a popular guy he had a lot of friends Johnny's Mother m characterizes her son as an Unapologetic mama's boy
00:08:15
and Johnny was proud of that title The Clark family was very close his mother M says between her and her husband they
00:08:24
would regularly talk to their son about a dozen or so times a day he is the oldest of their
00:08:34
children Johnny had recently enrolled in barber school to pursue a dream of being
00:08:40
a small business owner now remember he is an adult at this time 21 years of age and he frequently lived with either his
00:08:48
folks or his girlfriend Lisa's parents Johnny was saving money for school and some words of wisdom to the younger
00:08:58
listeners out there if Mom and Dad don't say you got to leave then stay but of course don't be afraid to buy them
00:09:04
dinner once in a while or pay the internet bill so Johnny is enrolled to go to the school and saving money to pay
00:09:12
for the school so in January of 2011 Johnny is living with his girlfriend Lisa strob at Lisa's parents place on
00:09:21
Longacre Lane in Holland Ohio Lisa an strob is a kind and and this she's kind of this funloving maybe a little goofy
00:09:33
even at times personality she is the outdoorsy type she's an animal lover and photography is
00:09:41
a longtime hobby of hers the STW family is very close as well Lisa enjoyed hanging out with her sisters they were
00:09:50
popular and the stob sisters would often go to parties together Lisa was the youngest in this family in fact it's at
00:09:59
one of those parties with her sisters that Lisa in fact meets Johnny Clark the two of them eventually start dating and
00:10:07
become an official couple in 2009 then in late 2010 Johnny and Lisa take the relationship to the next level and they
00:10:16
decide to live together so Johnny moved in at Lisa's parents home so in January of 2011 where we pick up this story Lisa
00:10:27
is 20 years old and she's working at a local TGI Fridays restaurant as a server she has her future mapped out as well
00:10:35
wanting to be a nurse she was all set to begin classes as a nursing student there's a lot of moving pieces and parts
00:10:43
to this case so make sure you pay attention let's dive into the timeline yeah let's go through the day in
00:10:51
question here Captain this is Sunday January 30th 2011 we have Johnny Clark and his mother
00:11:00
M who as said were close so they're in constant contact with one another touching Bas with each other
00:11:09
daily and multiple times throughout each day this day would be no different we'll
00:11:16
start our timeline at approximately 8:00 p.m. that night this is when M the mother calls her son and it's not for
00:11:24
the first time that day now while sometimes the constant checking in from Mom would annoy the young man Johnny did
00:11:31
not dare to not pick up Mom's calls you pick up Mom's call so Johnny slightly annoyed by another phone call from mom
00:11:41
picks up his cell phone and they have a brief conversation and then at some point she asks if he's okay and he says
00:11:49
in a sarcastic manner jokingly yes Mom I'm still alive and she says you know don't say that don't joke
00:11:56
around like that m is just checking in with her son who as we said is staying at Lisa's parents house Johnny tells his
00:12:05
mom that his plans his current plans for the evening are that he's going to be watching the Pro Bowl or is already at a
00:12:15
friend's house watching the Pro Bowl the NFL Pro Bowl on TV and that he would later be picking up his girlfriend from
00:12:23
her work and that they were going to stay in that night and just kind of chill out so let's be perfectly clear
00:12:30
here this is what he tells mom he's 21 so we cannot say with 100% certainty that this is what he actually intended
00:12:40
to do that night he's also considered considers himself a a mama's boy so he he might alter the the stories he tells
00:12:51
to his mom for her protection there's been multiple sources out there that have said that Johnny wouldn't lie to
00:12:58
his mom and I have no reason not to believe them but again we we don't know everything 100% we can only report
00:13:09
it as what our findings were so he tells mom that he is at a friend's house and there are three other persons there with
00:13:20
him he he names them on the phone with Mom and says we're watching the Pro Bowl on TV and then when Lisa gets off from
00:13:27
work when her shift ends at TGI Fridays I'm going to go pick her up we're going back to her house and we're just going
00:13:33
to hang out now there is something that is key here captain and we can get into that
00:13:40
later we can get into this later but I do not think that this is purely coincidence but the stobs Lisa's parents
00:13:49
Jeff and Mary strob are out of town this weekend the two are off on a Caribbean cruise celebrating their 25th wedding
00:13:57
anniversary so so that is important to the story as well so now this will take us to 1000 p.m. approximately Saturday
00:14:05
January 30th 2011 on our timeline at 10 p.m. approximately Johnny picks up his girlfriend Lisa stro she's working that
00:14:14
night at TGI Fridays in nearby Toledo her shift ends at approximately 10 p.m. he picks her up afterward and there are
00:14:24
three major routes that one could take from the Friday restaurant to the stob house and this is a short
00:14:33
drive 8 to 11 minutes depending on Route so the couple head back to Lisa's parents house on Longacre Lane where
00:14:41
they both are staying and so just a little after 10:30 Johnny calls a friend during this call Johnny mentions that
00:14:49
one of his other friends a guy by the name of Anthony Watson who also goes by Tony or tone is supposed to be stopping
00:14:57
by the stob house sometime that night now during another phone this is where things get a little wonky in our
00:15:08
timeline so he's either on the phone with this same friend having that conversation or there's another call
00:15:16
that he's on but what we do know that happens is Johnny shortly after this gets an incoming call on his cell
00:15:25
phone so Johnny clicks over to the incoming call the caller is a friend or someone who is
00:15:33
always being listed as a friend of both Johnny and Lisas this person's name is Tiffany Williams Tiffany Williams is a
00:15:42
couple of years older than that of Johnny and Lisa so she's calling Johnny and according to
00:15:49
what Tiffany Williams says she's calling Johnny to firm up plans that the two had
00:15:54
made earlier the original plan was that Johnny and Lisa would leave the stob home at some point late that night go
00:16:03
pick up Tiffany and this other friend Zack brette and sometimes Zach a lot of these
00:16:10
people in our story have nicknames right and we're going to see that that will add confusion to the investigation now
00:16:17
Zack burette his nickname doesn't add much confusion to the investigation because his real name is included in
00:16:25
that nickname and you're going to like this one Captain his name is fat Zack oh so that either means he's a larger
00:16:34
person or sometimes you get a really thin person that ends up with the fat fat Zack name key thing though is this
00:16:40
is Zack berat now despite the fact that they are strictly instructed not to have
00:16:46
parties or have people over at the st's home especially in their absence the plan was according to Tiffany Williams
00:16:54
that the four of them after Johnny and Lisa picked them up would return to the stob home to shoot some pool yeah and
00:17:03
again the definition of party depends on who you're talking to everybody says we're just going to be hanging out
00:17:08
shooting some pool and from my understanding I've viewed the layout of the St home in great detail they do have
00:17:16
a very nice billiard area in the basement of this home Tiffany was calling at this time to
00:17:26
let them know that she decided that she needed to run a few errands first so she's kind of pushing back the start
00:17:32
time for this hangout session at the stob house and she wanted to tell Johnny that we're going to run some errands and
00:17:43
then we will be ready to go around midnight however Tiffany says she never got to explain any of that information
00:17:52
or tell Johnny why she was calling in the first place because when Johnny clicks over and picks up her
00:18:00
call instead of greeting her she heard Johnny and most of the time the way this is
00:18:09
described she says that she heard Johnny shout in a very angry tone bro what are
00:18:15
you doing who are you what do you want so it sounds like there's an intruder in the house something's going
00:18:23
on on the other end according to Tiffany Williams right and she says that he did
00:18:28
repeat some of these lines multiple times as if speaking to someone in person and not Tiffany on the phone
00:18:36
obviously but then Johnny in a much more calm manner then tells Tiffany that he will call her back and I believe Tiffany
00:18:44
Williams says that his exact words or something similar would be Tiff I'll call you
00:18:52
back he doesn't he never calls Tiffany back now let's go to Monday January 31st 2011 we're already pretty late in the
00:19:03
night on the 30th so now I want to be very clear here we say that we flipped over to Sunday on our timeline but we
00:19:09
are talking about very early Sunday morning in the small hours if you will Tiffany Williams is now concerned that
00:19:17
her friends Johnny and Lisa has not called back she completed her errands and now she's more
00:19:25
focused on the idea that Johnny Lisa her and Zack would be hanging out late that night
00:19:30
shooting pool at Lisa's parents home and here it is now a little after midnight this is right around the time that she
00:19:39
wanted to hang out and she's not heard from Johnny in fact she says that she's tried to reach out to Johnny she's tried
00:19:47
to get in communication with Lisa and that Zach is doing the same thing periodically sometime after that call
00:19:56
was received Tiffany calls John Johnny M Johnny picks up the phone it sounds like
00:20:01
he's talking to possibly like an intruder or somebody in person and then tells Tiffany that he'll
00:20:12
call her back correct so this is a very short call now I I'm glad you are honing
00:20:17
in on this because this is a huge part of this case and what this could mean for the events that are to come and who
00:20:31
may be responsible for what in this case well like you said there's a lot of moving pieces so my question for you is
00:20:38
at this time that Johnny gets his phone call is Lisa present with him at the time so in the home at this time it
00:20:49
would be Johnny Lisa and then there's a there's a puppy dog there as well and from every Source out there from all of
00:20:58
the information in the case this should they should be the this should be the only presence in the home at that time
00:21:05
Johnny Lisa little dog right now I'm glad you're honing in on this call not just because of its significance to the
00:21:14
case but also let's focus in on this for just a second because one thing that is
00:21:20
not in dispute this is proven by phone records Tiffany Williams 100% without a doubt her cell phone calls Johnny
00:21:31
Clark's cell phone at 10:41 p.m. January 30th 2011 that is there is no doubt about that that happened right
00:21:44
what I think we need to speculate on later and make mental note of now in our timeline is what was
00:21:54
said on that on that phone call because un fortunately Johnny will not be around to
00:22:02
tell us his version of that conversation all we will have is Tiffany Williams version of that
00:22:11
conversation so we know that a short call took place from Tiffany Williams phone at 10:41 p.m. that night and
00:22:22
Johnny Clark's cell phone picked it up they were on their phones communicated together for several seconds maybe even
00:22:30
a minute it's a very short call and then according to Tiffany Williams Johnny says I'll call you back
00:22:38
but never does and we've already covered that Tiffany Williams and her friend I'm
00:22:44
a little uncertain of their relationship this Zack barquette because he's a little bit younger than than the rest of
00:22:50
them so Tiffany is about 24 at this time Johnny is 21 Lisa is 20 and from my understanding Captain Zack may be as
00:23:00
young as 17 I'm not able to fully verify that but he's younger I do know 100% certain he's younger than Johnny as said
00:23:09
Tiffany Williams did try to get in contact with Johnny and Lisa periodically leading up
00:23:15
to this point in our timeline which is 12:30 a.m. Zach did so as well now at 12:30
00:23:24
a.m. this is when Tiffany becomes so concerned that she and Zack drive over to Lisa
00:23:32
str's home and again just to be clear they're supposed to get picked up by Johnny correct so they are so
00:23:41
concerned by what she heard on the phone and the fact that they're not answering
00:23:46
they're not coming to pick them up that they make arrangements and and they actually travel over to Lisa's house and
00:23:54
everything out there suggests that they would have had to borrow a vehicle and neither does Tiffany at this
00:24:03
time so they go over to the home and according to Tiffany they ring the doorbell knock on the door front door
00:24:11
nice neighborhood again that's what's weird about this neighborhood I I would encourage everyone to look it up on
00:24:18
Google Maps or on Apple Maps it's a really interesting neighborhood because you have very average size homes but you
00:24:25
also have very large homes and then some that are somewhere in between and this home is a very nice home and it's on a
00:24:32
larger lot and so she's ringing the doorbell knocking on the door she says that she
00:24:39
peers inside the the the windows trying to look into the windows to see what's going
00:24:45
on and here's where things get a little more wonky right we have we have some questions in our timeline but we're also
00:24:55
going to have some questions with individual statements because they they gave more than one statement and this is
00:25:00
coming from multiple sources and so I want to be very clear here some of the sources cite that
00:25:09
Tiffany Williams says that there was no answer at the door she tried a couple times and so her and Zach left other
00:25:17
sources say that she saw and noticed that there were lights on in the home and this caused her even greater
00:25:29
concern because of some kind of rule that she was aware of in the home that you you know the stobs have this rule
00:25:36
that you always close the door behind you always turn off the light behind you so she was concerned that well they're
00:25:43
here but nobody's answering the door for whatever reason we're supposed to be friends right and again it's not like
00:25:50
she's overly concerned for no reason she hears what she believes is a confrontation
00:25:58
on the phone when she called Johnny correct but let's keep in mind that's about two hours earlier right so she yes
00:26:05
she's concerned she says but let's factor in she doesn't seem to be overly concerned to the point that she allows
00:26:13
two hours to elapse before she goes to physically check on her friends right now the third version from other
00:26:22
sources and I'm not this is not yours truly the ch Colonel telling you that she gave three different statements I'm
00:26:31
telling you that these are different words that are coming from different sources the third
00:26:39
version is that when she looked inside the home that she that the home appeared to
00:26:46
have been ransacked and this caused Great concern of course it should cause great concern
00:26:52
for anyone if they witness anything like this the pair then exits the property now we are a little after or about 1:00
00:27:01
a.m. on our timeline at this point she is going to call her friend Sharita crumby she calls Sharita to tell her
00:27:12
what has happened her version of the events crumby then calls Johnny's Mother m to alert her that no one is
00:27:23
able to reach Johnny and that now we got a handful of people that are concerned and on top of that Tiffany is relayed to
00:27:31
Sharita look when I spoke to him at 10:41 there was this weird business going on he picked up it sounded like
00:27:38
there was some kind of commotion some kind of confrontation I'm not really sure what it was but it sounds like he
00:27:45
was getting into it with somebody and of course m is going to be extremely concerned she she loves her
00:27:54
son and as said they were very close and she's a bit of a helicopter Mom right always checking in on the kids well
00:28:02
let's be clear though too it's not just this confrontation call it's he's not answering the phone now and then when we
00:28:08
go over to the house we don't see signs of Johnny or Lisa so much more to get to

to to begin calling her son's phone texting trying to get a hold of him and Father John is doing the same thing
00:31:21
however Johnny's not responding to Mom's calls or texts and what did we say earlier
00:31:27
Johnny always answers mom's calls and you also have to be a little more concerned because it's getting later and
00:31:34
later it's in the middle of the night right and these parents have been woke up in the middle
00:31:42
of the night by to be honest with you it sounds to me like they don't know they know Sharita but they don't know where I
00:31:49
I'm I'm not 100% on how well they know this individual because Sharita is more of Johnny's peers than my taste well
00:32:01
she's been given the task to contact the parents and so if if I'm Johnny's father
00:32:10
I'm very concerned because somebody I don't really know that well is contacted me going hey look uh we can't get a hold
00:32:18
of your son yeah she she knows them well enough to have their phone numbers um the the thing that we should mention
00:32:25
here too around the same time that Tiffany calls Sharita we have Zack who's with Tiffany there's no doubt about that
00:32:34
Zack's with Tiffany and he has attempted to reach out to Johnny's like lifetime lifelong best
00:32:43
friend who you know some of us are lucky enough to when we are best friends with
00:32:48
somebody that we know their familyes very well as as well right right they become almost second parents correct and
00:32:55
so Johnny's best friend would have had the ability to get in contact with the parents as well yeah and if you're his
00:33:03
parents you're also more concerned too because you're not in the same town right yeah they're not very far away um
00:33:13
I want to be clear about something here that they are they are in the suburb of Toledo and so they they're not very far
00:33:25
from the st's home because they all live in this suburb of Toledo which is not a
00:33:30
very big area um we're talking about I think 1,200 people in this suburb um don't
00:33:40
quote me on that Captain I it's well it's on record now so so yep you can you can hold me put it on my permanent
00:33:48
record yeah uh strike strike 98 mom has decided a couple things are going on here yeah Tiffany says look I can I'll
00:33:57
come and get you guys and take you over to the straw pal so she comes over she grabs Johnny's Father John Johnny John
00:34:05
hops in the car rides over and because M can't leave remember Johnny's not their
00:34:11
only child and they got a couple of people in the house and so M's thinking well he'll pick up the phone eventually
00:34:19
Johnny will pick up the phone eventually it's all just a misunderstanding and everything will be fine well that
00:34:25
doesn't happen and and when John gets to the house with Tiffany he's now on the phone with his wife saying
00:34:33
look I think we got to call the cops so M then is in the process of trying to do
00:34:40
a couple things she's still trying to get a hold of her son she's trying to get the police on the line to request a
00:34:48
welfare check for her son and his girlfriend and she's also in the process of trying to get over to the property
00:34:55
herself so let's take a listen to the first 911 call from Johnny's mother hello too 911 ma'am my heart is beating

00:41:02
to Medical while they're on their way there okay okay hang on so you hear it there Captain M calls 911 that call took
00:41:10
place at1 a.m. that night and we have M begging for emergency services to send out the police to the stob home for a
00:41:25
welfare check on her son and her son's girlfriend Lisa she's calling from her home and as you hear her husband's in
00:41:33
route with Tiffany Williams to the stob home and poor M has this heart condition
00:41:39
and now she's up at the middle of the night frantically worried about her son one thing that I want to point out
00:41:49
here we were talking about different sources reporting what Tiffany's report uh was when she arrived
00:41:57
at the stra home without any of Johnny's parents right she is there by her own words with Zach
00:42:06
they go there because they are worried about their friends we had the different sources some saying that she knocks on
00:42:12
the door they try the door a few times nobody answers they leave other sources say that they see lights on and this was
00:42:19
of a concern to Tiffany and that's why she alerted the friends the other sources say that she saw that the home
00:42:25
was rans sacked looked through the windows could see that something had taken place maybe a struggle or a
00:42:32
robbery or something of that nature that caused her enough concern to track down Johnny's parents and get them
00:42:40
involved that night well because they have options at that moment do we keep ringing the doorbell and possibly run
00:42:50
into the individuals that did this rans sacking or do we keep trying to find a way into to enter
00:42:59
this house and I think they did the smart thing by going let's try to contact but I want to point out a very
00:43:06
key part of that 911 call we have those different sources saying different things different observations were made
00:43:14
by Tiffany Williams when she arrives without Johnny's parents right we have confirmation that she says ransacking
00:43:25
because at 1:21 a.m. M who's not been to the property yet correct her husband's not been to the property yet correct
00:43:33
he's not on the phone with 911 m is at her own home she is reporting to 911 what was told to her and her husband by
00:43:43
Tiffany Williams who sparked and ignited this whole thing to get them involved and
00:43:49
bring one of them to the scene so ran sacking regardless of what the sources were saying this 911 call at
00:43:59
1:21 a.m. that night confirms that Tiffany Williams told them she witnessed Saul with her own two eyeballs Through
00:44:08
the Windows of the stob home that ransacking or burglary or robbery something of that nature has taken
00:44:14
place now unfortunately after this 911 call m still concerned still hasn't heard from
00:44:23
her son she's unable to reach her son John she again calls police in emergency services at 2:27 a.m. um some sources
00:44:33
report that it is 2:07 a.m. but still roughly what an hour later I've I have spoke to people very close to the case
00:44:44
and they are confirming that the correct time is 207 207 a.m. so the earlier time
00:44:51
that's been reported in the papers and on the news she is at this time request in another welfare check or for at least
00:44:59
police to come back to the scene and we have that call as well listen ma'am I am a concerned
00:45:07

00:51:22
she's in the license plate and trying to get Tiffany to speak with Emergency Services as well so they pull up in an
00:51:31
