She said her mind to. 36 00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.400 Tiffany and I became friends in junior high. 37 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.960 I was new to town, new to the area, and 38 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.560 uh didn't really know anybody, didn't have any friends, didn't 39 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.759 have much going for me, and uh, Tiffany was the 40 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.759 type of person that was going to take care of you. 41 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:25.680 Uh. 42 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.560 She just decided she was going to be my friend 43 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.919 since I didn't have any Her and I were friends 44 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:31.439 from then on. 45 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.639 Shortly after graduating high school, Tiffany marries her childhood sweetheart. 46 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.520 She said she was back madly in love with Ryan 47 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:48.599 and all girls should marry their first sweetheart. She was 48 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.960 determined to get married, and she did. 49 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.280 The young couple moved to nearby Bethany Ryan is Floyd 50 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.960 did a manufacturing plant. Well, nineteen year old Tiffany works 51 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.120 two jobs so she could afford a new car. 52 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.759 She traded her car, yeah, on her new white Neon. 53 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.759 She was so proud of that. She's always cleaning it 54 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:21.040 out or washing it or because she was proud of it. 55 00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.240 Was something that she worked for that she got. 56 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.360 On July twenty sixth, nineteen ninety seven, the newlyweds planned 57 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:31.800 to meet at a club after work. 58 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.040 Jiffany had gotten off work and then she went and 59 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.120 cleaned out her car or worceshed her car because it 60 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.759 was hers and Ryan's three month anniversary. 61 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.360 I was actually working patrol at that time and I 62 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:54.560 drove by the Sunshine car wash. There's about four vehicles 63 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.800 that were there, people still washing their car, and I 64 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.399 did observe a white vehicle in the furthest West stall 65 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.680 that had no one around it. It was about forty 66 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.120 five minutes later I was again driving by that car wash, 67 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.480 and now there were no vehicles other than that one 68 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.879 white car in the far west stall and there was 69 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.279 nobody around the car. We did not see anyone around 70 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.040 the car wash at all. Detective Mobley looked in the 71 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.519 passenger side, and he advised me that the keys to 72 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:34.439 the vehicle were still in the ignition. That kind of 73 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.519 raised our concern, so we started look into it a 74 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.600 little deeper. Myself and Mobley made entry into the vehicle 75 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.319 to try to find a phone number or name of 76 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.879 someone that we might be able to contact. We did 77 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.800 end up locating the number with the word mom on it. 78 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:05.879 The police department called around midnight. I wanted to know 79 00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.480 Tiff and he had a white car, and if I 80 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.920 knew where she was, I started calling people. I knew 81 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.920 that she might go to. No one had hard from her, 82 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.000 no one had seen her. And this is like at 83 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.040 two o'clock in the morning. So by the time we 84 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.240 got up here at the car wash, they had everything 85 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:34.959 blocked off down deep. You knew that with all her 86 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.920 personal belongings in her pit her car, that she had 87 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.120 been adopted and she was probably not alive. 88 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.800 A frequent visitor to the car wash is thirty eight 89 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:54.920 year old William Reese, who Kathy knows from his time 90 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:55.720 in Anadarko. 91 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:02.279 He was always in trouble. He he stole vehicles, he 92 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.839 stoved from grocery stores or what have you he. 93 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.480 Had been in jail. He'd already been in prison. 94 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:17.240 He had just gotten out shortly before this happening. 95 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.680 So William Reese was born in nineteen fifty nine in Oklahoma, 96 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.319 and so it was a pretty depressed area that he 97 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:33.000 grew up in. He had a difficult upbringing, unstable childhood. 98 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.000 He was one of thirteen children. He was in foster 99 00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.920 care system for a while. He was forced to quit 100 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:43.000 school in the ninth grade and go to work. So 101 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.959 this is somebody, I think who got a pretty tough 102 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.319 start in life. There was probably a combination of neglect 103 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.680 with so many siblings and there being a lot of 104 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.160 financial instability, and I think it would have been a 105 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.319 pretty harsh upbringing in a lot of respects. There was 106 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.600 a lot of suspicions that he was in views at 107 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:01.199 some point. 108 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:07.040 Thirteen siblings, a family background, being moved around. You have 109 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:10.959 lots of negative risk factors in front of Reece. 110 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.240 That marriage does not last very long, and it doesn't. 111 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.480 It fizzles out pretty quickly because of how we and 112 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:26.759 Racee is treating his wife. He's drinking and he's physically 113 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:32.759 abusive to her and she ends the relationship. This is 114 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:38.039 somebody who for whatever reason, doesn't respect women feels entitled 115 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.480 to behave. However, he wants to likely blames everything that's 116 00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.159 wrong in his life on other people, and those are 117 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.600 things that do not bode well in terms of his 118 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:51.519 relationship with other women in the future or his ability 119 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.679 to adjust and adapt effectively to life as an adult. 120 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.799 His ex wife said that he was unusually close to 121 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.159 his mom, and even she'd made the combat at one 122 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.320 point that she felt like his mom was so protective 123 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.279 of him that quote, you know, if he kills somebody, 124 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:19.399 she would help him hide the body. 125 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.120 It's one day since Tiffany Dobrie went missing with her 126 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:30.759 car left at a Bethany carwash around fifty miles away. 127 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.840 Oklahoma City police make a gruesome discovery while investigating their 128 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:36.440 own missing person's case. 129 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.480 As they were investigating that scene, they canvassed the area 130 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.759 and then ended up finding Tiffany's body on that same 131 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:59.960 road about one hundred yards down. 132 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.000 Ask yourself, who did it? Why would someone want to 133 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:03.679 kill TiO. 134 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.200 You didn't think about your friend just getting murdered for 135 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:11.960 no reason out in the middle of nowhere like that. 136 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:12.960 It just didn't happen. 137 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.840 The thing that always kind of bothered me the most 138 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.039 is that Tiffan and Ryan they just started their lives 139 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:29.200 together and within three months it got taken away. If 140 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.679 they had their full life together, what would have come 141 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:31.960 of that? 142 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.960 And so we went down a list of people for 143 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.399 the police to check out because we didn't know what 144 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:58.200 else to do, and if the first thing that Mama 145 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.279 thought of to so I can't that it didn't enter 146 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:06.840 our minds, because it did. You don't know if he 147 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.799 was really at work or not. You know, he could 148 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:11.799 have took off. 149 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.639 In any case where you have someone that has disappeared, 150 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.039 you know, you always you always got to start with 151 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:27.519 people that are close and family members. So absolutely he 152 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.879 was looked at. 153 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.840 Police soon determined Tiffany was last seen alive shortly after 154 00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:42.519 six pm on July twenty seventh. Her husband was at 155 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.720 work from three pm until eleven pm, and is cleared 156 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:56.360 of any suspicion. Bethany police conducted a background check on 157 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:03.320 local sex offenders, including William Or. They find no evidence 158 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:09.519 linking him to the crime scene. Tiffany's mother knows Reese's mother, 159 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.159 who offers to prepare Tiffany's clothes for her funeral. 160 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:18.320 Her name with pat She wasn't a friend, but she 161 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.919 was an acquaintance because she did my ironing and what 162 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.360 have you for me? And so we took Tiffany's clothes 163 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.720 down to her for her to press some for us, 164 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.559 because she called and said she would do that. 165 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.799 In nineteen eighty six, he kidnaps a woman and he 166 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.039 rapes her. And at that point, I think he has 167 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.120 taken a hard turn in his life, because now he 168 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.559 is making choices that the vast majority of people would 169 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:06.759 never make. He's become a criminal, He's become a predator. 170 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.840 He was driving a truck and going to pick up 171 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:21.960 a load, and he picked her up and rude. Her 172 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:27.039 car broke down under a overpass, and he stopped and 173 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:31.000 asked if she needed help. He kept on her and 174 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:51.440 then she finally agreed and got in the truck with him. 175 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.919 Reese is arrested but released after posting bail. He a 176 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.600 tax agan. 177 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:03.399 One month later, he rapes one woman while he's awaiting 178 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.360 trial for raping another one. I don't know how you 179 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.960 get any more of a definition of a predator than that. 180 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.440 Both of these victims survive their ordeal and have their 181 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:19.600 identities protected. Re stands trial on two counts of rape. 182 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.559 He has found guilty and sentenced to twenty five years 183 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:24.080 in prison. 184 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.000 For an individual who is inside of a correctional institution 185 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:32.799 for years, that day is filled with border. Our environment 186 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.799 creates our propensity to be involved in crime. 187 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:37.559 Well, just think of it. 188 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:43.519 You're surrounded by other people who have committed crimes. One 189 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.000 learns to associate with certain people. One has to protect themselves. 190 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:52.039 Inside of a correctional institution a lot of time to think. 191 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.039 Reese's attorneys claim errors were made during his trial, and 192 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.960 after serving ten years of his twenty five year sentence, 193 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:21.360 convicted rapist, Reese is released early. He briefly lives with 194 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.639 his mother and Anna Darko before moving seven hours away 195 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:35.759 to Houston, Texas. 196 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.200 My daughter went on a run this morning, and she's 197 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.559 been gone a lot longer than I'm perfected in play good, 198 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.799 Bob Feather. 199 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.480 Twelve year old Laura Smither goes for a jog in 200 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.679 her friends With Texas neighborhood and never returns home. 201 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.080 I'd never seen anything quite like this before. I mean, 202 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.279 you had people from everywhere coming out of the woodwork 203 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.080 for this young girl. They were going through the fields, 204 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.080 they were searching in bodies, of water everywhere. 205 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.840 Laura's body is found seventeen days later in a retention 206 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.440 pond in nearby Pasadena. 207 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.639 That today I will never forget because you had a 208 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.279 father and son. They were out there, they were training 209 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:32.879 a hunting dog. Hunting dog hits on something in the water. 210 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.759 Father and son go out there to see what's going on. 211 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.919 And this is the part that I mean, just so chilling, 212 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:41.399 because the dad looked at the sun and says, I 213 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:43.159 wonder what kind of animal that is? And the son 214 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:49.279 looks back at the dad and says, animals don't wear socks. 215 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.120 William Reese became a suspect early on because he was 216 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.519 a convicted second out of Oklahoma, and that's fairly standard. 217 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.599 When you have a child disappear like this, police start 218 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.920 looking at registered sex offenders in the area. More than that, 219 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:13.119 Reese had a construction job near this spot. It got 220 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.839 rained out the morning Laura disappeared, so he would have 221 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.359 been going home and that would have put him along 222 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:32.519 her route about the time she disappeared. There were fibers 223 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.640 that were found that matched formats in his truck. The 224 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.480 fibers were unique, but they weren't so incredibly unique that 225 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.240 It's like, Okay, these fibers could only possibly have come 226 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:50.720 from William Reese's truck. It wasn't unique enough. And honestly, 227 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.359 fibers are not DNA. A lot of that evidence had 228 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:56.200 been destroyed because Laura was left in water. 229 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:03.279 This is a twelve year old child, and what that 230 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.559 tells me is one of two things. Either William Reese 231 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.359 did not recognize how young she was when he grabbed her. 232 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:17.440 I don't believe that. Number two is that this is 233 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:24.640 somebody who is sexually interested in this age group and 234 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:29.599 is willing to take advantage of an opportunity and rape 235 00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:33.039 and murder somebody who is that innocent and that young. 236 00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:39.200 While under police suspicion and within their custody, Reese speaks 237 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.200 with the Texas News Channel to profess his innocence. 238 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.440 Who they gonna look at first, an ex con, especially 239 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.920 if you've done hard time, You're gonna be a number 240 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.160 one suspect. 241 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.200 No matter what. 242 00:18:51.599 --> 00:19:01.799 And if they can't find nobody, you're gonna be their Patsy. 243 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.440 Sandra sa Paul, a nineteen year old pregnant mother, comes 244 00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:22.519 face to face with William Reese just south of Houston. 245 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.359 She goes into a convenience store. And she comes out 246 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.000 of the convenience store. See she has a flat tire. 247 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.680 A supposed good Samaritan comes along. Oh, let me help 248 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.599 you out with that tire. Boom grabs her, tosses her 249 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:42.839 into the truck, takes off down the freeway. 250 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:49.680 The fact that William Race acts so quickly after his 251 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.519 race in prison suggests to me that this is somebody 252 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:58.400 who has thought about this and fantasized about this for 253 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:04.599 nine years. While behind bars, he tells her to take 254 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.279 her clothes off. She bends down to take her shoes 255 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.440 off and notices that the car door is unlocked, and she, 256 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.839 at that point makes a very important decision. 257 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.680 This may be my last opportunity. The more secluded, the 258 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.039 more away, the more the person is going to their 259 00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.960 environment rather than being in my environment, takes the advantage 260 00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:27.599 away from you. 261 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.440 I would rather die jumping out of this car and 262 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.240 leaving my fate in my own hands, than suffer whatever 263 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.119 is about to happen if I stay with this man. 264 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:43.160 The females jumped out of a white duly unknown LP 265 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:45.279 left feet headed forty five mark bound. 266 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.000 She needs an ambulance. He can't walk, and we. 267 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:49.000 Got an Antley. 268 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.839 With Sandra now safe, police begin questioning her, hoping that 269 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:10.319 can find her kidnapper before he attacks again. Twenty year 270 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.519 old Kelly Anne Cox goes missing in Denton, Texas. 271 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:23.039 Kelly Cox was a beautiful, single mom college student in 272 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.319 what is essentially kind of a college town of Denton, Texas. 273 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:30.640 She had just wrapped up a school field trip. She 274 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.279 was studying the area of criminal justice, and she stopped 275 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:37.880 at this convenience store and unfortunately that's where she crossed 276 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:43.400 paths with William Race. She has vanished into thin air. 277 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.160 And that's what's again so frightening about all of this. 278 00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:52.839 It's somewhat mind boggling on the one hand that William 279 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:59.559 Race continues his killing spree after Sandra s Paul manages 280 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.119 to get out an escape. William Race is so focused 281 00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:10.440 on finding young women that kind of fit his prototype 282 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.279 and sexually assaulting them abducting them that he's not even 283 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.519 concerned about Sandra se Paul. He is thinking about his 284 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.119 next victim and finding her. 285 00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:26.799 Kelly Ane Cox's disappearance in Denton, Texas is around three 286 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.759 hours away from Tiffany and Oklahoma. At the time of 287 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:38.160 Tiffany's abduction, Kathy Doughbrie has no idea of these other cases. 288 00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.519 Seventeen year old high school student Jessica Cain goes missing 289 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:54.759 near Houston, just. 290 00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:57.559 Like the others, had her entire life ahead of her 291 00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:04.839 high school student with friends after a school event. Jessica 292 00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:08.519 was always very well behaved, never violated curfew anything like that. 293 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.720 So when she didn't come home one time, her parents 294 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.720 were instantly worried and her truck was found parked on 295 00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:21.079 the side of Interstate forty five. Like Laura, it was 296 00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.880 like she just fell into a hole in the universe, 297 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:25.559 just vanished into thin air. But the truck was there, 298 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.240 purse was in the front seat, didn't even really appear 299 00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.000 there was any. 300 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.640 Kind of a struggle. 301 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:31.559 Oh, it's terrifying. 302 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.200 It's like we have a predator in our neighborhood. People 303 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.839 in the area were like, who is hunting our children? 304 00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:46.359 What we have as an apex predator an individual that 305 00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:53.200 has opportunity combined with skills and additionally being punished for 306 00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.920 the criminal act in the past, but not being deterred. 307 00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.079 I have always thought that the killing part of it 308 00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:05.440 for him was more pragmatic that I'm not going to 309 00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:08.720 leave a victim to point their finger at me again. 310 00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.839 My needs are more important than anybody else's, and I'm 311 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:16.519 going to make sure that nobody's left to identify me. 312 00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.640 Kathy Doughbray still has no idea who killed her daughter. 313 00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:36.799 Police have no suspects and don't suspect William Reese is involved, 314 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:42.880 But four hundred and fifty miles away in Texas, kidnapp 315 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:46.440 survivor Sandra say Paul is now facing him in a lineup. 316 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:50.920 He's being asked to repeat the lines Sandra heard her 317 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:53.079 kidnapp or shout, you. 318 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:55.640 Cannot explain you. 319 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.200 Yah. 320 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.880 The net is closing around Reese and Texas, But will 321 00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.880 he be linked to the murder of Tiffany Johnston four 322 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:35.599 hundred and fifty miles away. Three months after the murder 323 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:40.440 of Tiffany Johnston, Sandra Sepaul has identified William Reese as 324 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.640 her kidnapper four hundred and fifty miles away in Texas, 325 00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.599 As authorities gather evidence to prosecute him, the owner of 326 00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.799 the Sunshine car wash where Tiffany was last seen, recognizes 327 00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:59.319 Reese in news reports. He tells Oklahoma police that Reese 328 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.640 is a frequent customer, but investigators still have no way 329 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:05.279 of linking Reese to the crime. 330 00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.119 We checked people that lived in the area that had 331 00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:15.559 serious criminal histories, and none of those came to fruition. 332 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.119 No forensic evidence at that time, and there weren't cameras 333 00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:25.400 in that area that we could rely on for evidence purposes. 334 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:31.519 So it truly came to where we believed whoever committed 335 00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:35.599 this came from outside of the community. 336 00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:39.559 Bethany Police passed the case to the Oklahoma State Bureau 337 00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:49.440 of Investigation, but still no leads. Nine months passed by, 338 00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.079 and Tiffany's mother, Kathy Dobrie, makes a solemn vow. 339 00:26:54.599 --> 00:27:00.119 We had lots of redbirds around that day and were 340 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:08.359 we live is American Indians, and I'm Party Indians, and 341 00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:13.519 we believe in the redbirds. When the redbirds come to 342 00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:20.640 see you as a visit from your loved one from heaven. 343 00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:29.000 I told her that I would find who murdered her 344 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:35.359 and get justice for her because what just wasn't right. 345 00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:38.200 They took away my youngest child. 346 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:44.960 If something were to ever happen to anyone in my 347 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:49.000 immediate family, Kathy is the first person I'm calling to 348 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:50.079 start looking into it. 349 00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.359 She does not know how to give up. She does not. 350 00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.680 Quit and she knew that one day we would get there. 351 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.839 We just didn't know when. 352 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:11.759 Each anniversary of Tiffany's murder is met with an eerie coincidence. 353 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:19.799 Every year, on Tiffany's anniversary date, which is July the 354 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:29.680 twenty sixth, there would be little necklaces, bracelets, and we'd 355 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.960 gather these up. We didn't touch them. We put on 356 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:36.319 gloves like you're supposed to, and would give them to 357 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:37.079 the OSBI. 358 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.759 It was concern of members of the department, and I 359 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:43.640 think it's part of the family that the suspect might 360 00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:45.720 have been the one leaving these trinkets. 361 00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:49.079 They would just show up every year at the same time, 362 00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.759 and nobody would ever own up to. 363 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.680 Putting them there. 364 00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:07.039 Cathy's dogged determination finally gets results in her daughter's cold case. 365 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:12.039 Advanced DNA testing is performed using the evidence collected from 366 00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:17.519 Tiffany's body. It reveals a partial profile of her killer. 367 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:25.720 Investigators compare this to DNA swabs from her ex boyfriend's husband, colleagues, 368 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:28.799 and even patron seen at the car wash the day 369 00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:34.160 of her murder. All are excluded.
