This podcast contains references to violence and suicide, as well as language which may not be suitable for children. Listener discretion advised. Oh, shoot. Okay, well, did you get kicked out of where you were living because of this? Yeah, because they didn't want no cameras to interview people. I'm not going to bring any cameras for what it's worth. It's just me. There's no camera or anything. I don't know if that makes any sense. Anyway, my story is about burying...

On my first trip to Texas, I drove all over the area south of Houston and saw the refineries as well as the giant gas stations that boast dozens of pumps. I spent a ton of time with Tim Miller, his quote-unquote part-time girlfriend, and the people who believed Clyde Hedrick was a serial killer. Tim showed me where Ellen Beeson's body was found, just off Galveston Island. He took me to the old trail riding business of the man that he first accused of murdering his daughter.

and he introduced me to his fawning employees. We even went through something akin to family therapy together. But as I gear up for my second trip to Texas, I know there's one person I need to speak to more than anyone else. Clyde Hedrick. That's the man that Tim has sure killed Laura and the three other women found in the killing fields. Tim is positive that Clyde will kill again, which means I need to find him fast.

So I reach out to his parole officer. Clyde calls me right away, which makes sense. He wants to share a side of the story, and I'm ready to listen.

And he's also made hundreds of thousands of dollars on his daughter's death. And he keeps bringing it up.

Clyde and I speak for about 40 minutes, and to be honest, most of what he says is unintelligible. Clyde lost part of his jaw to cancer. But when I finally try to set up a time and place for an in-person interview, he delivers some frightening news.

His halfway house threw him out. And according to Clyde, they threw him out because of me. I feel a huge weight of responsibility toward the family members of the Killingfields victims.

When I first met them back in December, they shared their most painful memories with me. They thought I might help Tim solve a cold case that had eluded experienced detectives for decades by bringing awareness to their situation. But now I have a new problem on my hands. I need to know. Is Clyde out on the streets? Could he really be the serial killer that Tim thinks he is? And if so, does that mean those family members are now in danger?

What happens when there's an alleged serial killer on the loose and the only person who can stop them might not be totally trustworthy themselves?

Any news on when you're going to go visit Clyde? Well, I talked to him last weekend and it was kind of weird. He seemed like he was now reticent about meeting and kind of made it seem like I couldn't really understand what he was saying. But basically that media attention has gotten him kicked out of his living situation.

which doesn't make any sense to me because he's forced to live in a place with an ankle monitor, according to you, and his parole officer. So I don't really know what that was supposed to mean. But he seemed less willing to meet because he also didn't know if you were sending me to try to get information or like he just seemed like more...

So he's not in there? Well, that's what he said, but that doesn't make any sense because what, are they just going to kick him out? I mean, it doesn't make any sense to me. Oh, I need to know if he's out because I'm going to tell you something. He is going to go after Destiny. And two guys that was in prison with him all said that. Well, he did bring that up. I mean, he said, I can't trust, because either I can't trust people or I can't trust women anymore because Tim sent...

This is a common refrain for Tim.

He constantly complains about the cops, and for good reason. Tim claims he's turned multiple pieces of evidence over to them, and they've all disappeared. One is a pair of pornographic DVDs he found in the killing fields. Another is a letter he received from someone claiming to be the killer. There were also some roof shingles recovered from the crime scene, and those have been lost too. Tim thought they were Clyde's because he worked for a roofing contractor.

And here he is bringing up a Western shirt, which could have had DNA evidence on it. So, and of course, the shirt's gone. I don't know any case I've worked anywhere where they've had more evidence, more bodies, and was so grossly mishandled as this case here. And I've worked, like I said, 42 states, 11 different countries. Wow.

To be fair, Tim's not the only person who thinks the local cops dropped the ball on the investigation. Other local officials confirmed this to me, just not on the record. But I did hear basically the same story from Catherine Casey, a local author who wrote a book about the killing fields. She's prim, proper, and speaks carefully, basically the perfect foil to Tim. I met her at her house out in the Houston suburbs. She specifically mentioned the Western shirt that Tim brought up.

a detail that's important to remember for later.

You know, there was a lot of evidence, especially in the Killingfields cases, that were just flat-out lost. They were mishandled. That shirt is one of the most tragic things. The fact that they didn't keep that shirt safe is just criminal. I mean, I'm sorry. There was no way that that shouldn't have been a priority. The letter that was given to Tim is missing, I understand. I've talked to the police repeatedly and asked them to look for the shirt.

Some important context. The Killingfields murderers are actually part of a larger group of crimes called the I-45 killings. I-45 is the highway that goes from Dallas to Galveston Island. And from the 70s to the early 2000s, dozens of young women disappeared from the enclave surrounding that corridor. There's a lot of water.

And killers tend to, these types of killers tend to dispose of bodies in water or around water. It washes away evidence. So that was kind of a factor. And the other thing is that Galveston, that whole part of Texas, that part of Houston, the Houston area,

is a vacation area. There are a lot of jobs in that chemical and refinery industry over there that are contract laborers that come in, they work for a year, they work for six months, they're gone. So, you know, it just... And the other thing is that people tend to put their guard down when they're in a vacation area. It seems kind of innocuous. It seems safe.

So a lot of people in and out of the area, tourists with their guards down and water, but also some fairly incompetent policing. Well, it's not like a TV show. Yeah. You know, there's no quick ending and it's not, you know, it's not like Bones where they have all this equipment and they're doing 3D mock-ups of faces, you know, and

you know, in an instant on a computer, you know? I mean, most of those agencies down there, most of them didn't have a lot of resources, didn't have a lot of training, and luckily hadn't had a lot of murder cases at that time. I'm sure they're better equipped now. I would assume they're better trained, and I hope they've got better resources. But at the time, there was really a

It was an issue in all of these cases. They had no training. I mean, all of a sudden you're in some little town in Texas and you've got a serial killer on the loose. I mean, they were way over their heads. What's more, the various police departments didn't really communicate with each other. There were a lot of things about, I found out about this part of Texas, that

One is that it was so chopped up and divided with different jurisdictions. And back then, I've had cops tell me that they just didn't play together. So there were 11 different jurisdictions in that area, which meant that if they had a case in their jurisdiction, they didn't share information with the guy in the next jurisdiction. They all wanted to solve their own cases.

And what happened is that when they didn't solve them, the cases went cold and that they didn't put it together that, gee, I've got this girl missing in my jurisdiction. And there's a similar circumstance going on 20 miles away in the next town. Meanwhile, the League City Police also had valid reasons to distrust Tim right back.

He has an unusual charisma, which he'd previously used to rile people up against Robert Abel, who then killed himself. Tim admits that this harassment probably contributed to Robert's death. All that's to say, I'm not surprised that Tim reflexively blames Detective Tisdale for the fact that his undercover mission has blown up in his face. And I'm also not surprised that the police, when I tried to interview them, refused. Multiple times.

Like many aspects of Tim World, this feud he has with the cops seems destined to go on and on forever. Remember the wheel Tim showed me at his house? The one he said was a metaphor for his life because of its broken spokes? That's why I got that wheel. That's exactly why I got that wheel. When I seen that wheel, that is exactly why I got that. This is my life. And many people I know's life.

Yes, Tim's life is clearly imperfect, but I also feel it's the perfect image to describe a man whose life is stuck in such a repetitive loop. I feel terrible for Tim. But then again, I've often wondered about what goes on inside of his head. It all comes back to the question I asked myself on my first day in Texas.

How did Tim turn out the way he did when Clyde Hedrick, who grew up in similar circumstances, became an alleged serial killer? Tim and Clyde not only lived in all the same places, but had similarly dysfunctional families. They were drawn to similar careers, roofing and construction. And they both had reputations as charismatic tough guys who other people gravitated toward. I asked Katherine if she had any insight.

It's also pretty interesting, I mean, the sort of parallels between Tim and Clyde's life. The odds of them having lived, you know, in Ohio, the land of Florida, and then, you know, two doors down from each other. It's like, it's sort of like cosmically. I mean, it is just very interesting, you know, one becomes this hero character and the other becomes, you know, this archetypical villain. But, you know, same life path, basically.

Not a very satisfying response. Maybe she had never thought about the question. Or she didn't want to potentially say something unflattering about her friend Tim.

That would make total sense. It can be uncomfortable to question the motives of somebody who's lived such a hard life, who's gone through something no parent should have ever had to endure. Tim's also someone who brings dead children back to life. He's completely dedicated to his work with EquiSearch. And he gets results. He is, in no uncertain terms, a superhero. But then—and there's no other way to put it, really—

Tim also has a somewhat distorted view of himself. He's previously been involved in a 12-step group for children of alcoholic families. The group uses a tool called the laundry list to identify ways that their upbringing affected them. Here's what happened when I eventually asked him about it. Was there one thing from that laundry list that was particularly something you identified with? Rejection and abandonment. You know, abandonment's not just because I was...

thrown away in children's homes, this, that, and the other. You can have the same abandonment feel to your parents' home every single day. When I read the book, a lot of things started clicking and why I acted like I did, why I had the fear that I had, why I couldn't finish projects, why I avoided confrontations, why... I mean, the list goes on and on and on. One of the laundry list traits is actually addiction to excitement.

And given that Tim's personal history includes showing up to a guy's house and pressing a gun to his forehead, near constant fighting with the police, and sending people on undercover missions, I'm a bit surprised to hear that Tim doesn't identify with that one instead. In fact, it seems like he thinks of himself as someone who fears confrontation. But here's my assessment so far. It's obvious that Tim has this almost supernatural ability for compartmentalizing.

I mean, dealing with the saddest things imaginable is just part of his job as a search and rescue worker. Honestly, he probably goes to a similar emotional place to the one that I have to access in order to do my job. It won't be long until I figure out the missing piece of the puzzle. It's that Tim frequently has other people do his confrontations for him. Hey girl, you can't

You can't make it? Aw, no te preocupes. Next time. A friend canceling plans is actually music to my ears, and it's all thanks to IKEA. I've been to las discotecas, and I've socialized a lot.

I've spoken a lot before about how Tim tends to stage elaborate productions. He showed me that video of a prank he played on Clyde, having to do with his Halloween decorations. He leased suspect Robert Abel's land out from under him. Then he eventually got Clyde's wife evicted from her house, in order to search it for clues. I've also mentioned that Tim's girlfriend spent three months visiting Clyde in prison. She went there hoping to extract information for Tim.

But she and Tim came up with this plan under the assumption that Clyde would die in prison. So when it was announced that Clyde was actually getting out early due to a loophole in the law, Destiny was obviously terrified. And I couldn't blame her. She trusted Tim, the local hero, with her life. And she got deeply unlucky. There's something else I should mention here, and it has to do with whether or not I will also have to trust Tim with my life.

Our paths have crossed before in a bizarre way that has nothing to do with the killing fields, but does not bode well for my safety on this trip. You see, there's a famous missing persons case that happened right around where I'm from, in Florida. In 2009, a five-year-old girl named Haley Cummings was kidnapped from a trailer park in a town called Satsuma. The incident sparked national attention. Although I didn't know Tim at the time because I was just an undergrad at the University of Florida,

He actually helped conduct a massive search for little Haley. That same year, I went to this thing called a rainbow gathering and wrote about it for my college paper. In case you've never heard of a rainbow gathering, that term just refers to a nomadic, loosely-knit hippie community that gathers for weeks or months at a time in remote forests across the U.S. Anyway, I published the article and received an email from Haley's cousin, who wanted to know if I had taken any photos at the event.

There was a rumor going around at the time that Haley, the missing little girl, was at one of these gatherings with the Rainbow people. I spoke to the cousin on the phone just to let her know I didn't have any photos, but that interaction sent me down a rabbit hole.

There were entire internet forums devoted to discussing the case, which also dominated cable news. New allegations are starting to line up in the search for Haley Cummings. First, Misty Crosland and now her brother are offering dark details about the night Haley vanished. Haley Cummings disappeared from her father's home in Florida one week ago, but police are now a few weeks ago hoping he could help.

Haley has been missing for six months, and still there are no leads to where she might be. Tim Miller from Texas EquiSearch is back in town. He spent the weekend in Putnam County taking a look at the area he plans to search. He told us today the vegetation is heavily overgrown. Remember what I said about Tim having other people do his confrontations for him? So at one point, Tim recruited one of his EquiSearch volunteers to befriend the girlfriend of Haley's father, Misty Crosland.

She was a major suspect in the case. Tim's volunteer ended up becoming friends with Misty, but then the two of them got busted selling oxycodone to an undercover cop. The EquiSearch volunteer, her name is Donna Brock, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. She's still serving time today. It occurred to me a few months ago that Tim, the famous search and rescue guy I was doing a podcast about, might have intersected with the Haley Cummings case. So I googled it.

That's how I learned about this whole undercover mission that went terribly wrong.

And it turned out that Tim was the one who sent Donna Brock on that mission. Donna Brock got so close to her. This was someone who she told me, Misty said, you're the mother I never had. I mean, her family had a lot of problems. And Donna was the one who took her out of that Ronald relationship when it got bad, took her on the road to Universal, got her nails done. She was then working for Tim Miller of Texas Exit Search.

supposedly trying to get information for law enforcement by getting close to Misty. I finally got the nerve to ask Tim about this. And here's what he said. Can we talk about what happened with this woman, Donna Brock? That story actually happened right where I grew up. Oh, Donna Brock. Donna was so connected with that family down there. Well, she wasn't until we was doing a search for little Haley.

Yeah, Haley Cummings. And she was that research member and everything. But then she got connected with them. And then Donna was actually taking Misty to Virginia because Donna had a connection with a dentist up there. And the dentist is the one that was giving them all the pain pills and all that bullshit and everything. So,

Yeah, that was a crazy story. And I knew something was going on. So I sent Donna Brock a certified letter revoking her membership a month before they got busted. Right. So she was like undercover with Misty Crosland for EquiSearch to try to get information about Haley Cummings. That's right.

Well, she really wasn't undercover. She was helping, but then she tried to insert herself way too much and then got connected with them and all kind of shit. It was all for financial gain. To what? To traffic pills, you mean? Yeah. That's the financial gain? Yeah, it was for Donna Brock's own financial gain on getting all these goddamn pills for herself. Yeah. Have you been in touch with anyone in her family since this all happened? Are they mad at you or anything? No.

How did you know things were happening? Oh.

I knew how much there was hanging out. And when Donna got her that apartment in Orlando and everything, I think there was some prostitution shit and stuff going on there also and everything. And it's like, there's some shit that's going to come down. And I don't want her to be associated in any way with EquiSearch. So I better protect this now and send her a certified letter and let her know that her membership is, one heart of set, revoked. Got it.

Gotcha. Okay, I think I understand now. So you didn't pay her to go undercover? She just was like, I'm going to do that, volunteer by myself, my idea? Oh, I didn't pay her for nothing. Hell no, I didn't give her 20 cents for nothing. Okay. So that was her idea to go undercover or your idea? No, I wanted her to hang out with Misty to get some more information and everything. I didn't give her any money or anything, but...

I wanted to hang out to see if Misty would go ahead and share information with her because they got really close and everything. And then she hung out with them long enough. Again, I think she's seen the opportunity. Well, shit, man, all these drugs involved. And you know what? Yeah, I can be their main girl going to this damn dentist up there and getting all these pills. And, you know, it turned into making money.

Is that the only time you've ever done that, where you've had somebody kind of go and try to befriend a potential suspect? Absolutely, absolutely, positively not. That's not the only time. Gotta do whatever works, dear. The entire time I'd known Tim, he'd been pushing me to go meet with Clyde Hedrick. I was on the fence. Tim literally told me he was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his ends.

But then again, even Catherine Casey, the prim and proper true crime writer, several decades older than I am, made it seem like it was no big deal to go talk to an alleged serial killer. You didn't ever talk to Clyde, did you? No. I was nearing the end of the research on the book at the time that Clyde Hedrick was convicted on Ellen Beeson's murder.

So no, I never did talk to Clyde. Would that have been something you'd done otherwise? If it had happened earlier in the process, I would have done that. But I was on a deadline at that point and didn't really have it, you know, that option. Because Tim is really, you know, pushing for us to go...

Talk to him and... Talk to Clyde? I mean, from a journalistic perspective, obviously, ethically, I should try to talk to this person that, you know, everyone else is basically calling a serial killer. But I know Tim does sometimes have the tendency to get people in trouble, as good as his intentions are. He gets very overzealous with trying to, you know, push people to, like, get information and stuff for him. And I worry that I'm being led down a potentially dangerous path. Well...

You don't live here, so you have distance. You have geography. You don't have to give him any contact information. I don't know. I've always thought that it was really important to let everybody talk, including, you know, the people that are being accused of things. I would tend, if it were me, I would go in and I would try. But, you know, you're going to have to make that decision, figure out what you're comfortable with.

But as I'd just seen, Catherine didn't seem particularly aware of or interested in the ways that Tim's previous undercover missions have gone wrong. And when I finally got in touch with Clyde over the phone, he told me he'd been thrown out of his halfway house.

and he wanted to meet in a neutral location. Given what I now know about Tim, his history of putting people in the line of fire,

The idea of him pushing me to meet Clyde in person started to give me a really, really bad feeling. At this point, I'm really wrestling with whether I should go back to Texas. Not long after I book my flight, I speak to Clyde, an alleged serial killer who makes it seem like he's been released from the halfway house he was living in and that it's all my fault. Then Tim tells me that his part-time girlfriend, Destiny, is in imminent danger.

I've heard Tim tell jokes, and I've seen him tear up. I've seen him go into rages against the police. I've listened to him tell stories that make him sound calculating, or even slightly cruel. But this is the first time that I've actually heard him sound scared. And that scares me, too. Oh, God.

Okay. Okay.

So Tim has been telling me for weeks that there's a serial killer on the loose who has nothing to lose. And that same alleged killer has just expressed to me over the phone that he believes I might be on an undercover mission for Tim, a guy who has already put him in prison. But the odds of Clyde actually coming to the apartment I've booked in Galveston are obviously low. So I get on the plane. I immediately call Tim on the phone for an update when I arrive.

And he has some relieving news. After talking to his buddy at the FBI and someone at the DA's office, he thinks everything will be okay after all. There was some confusion because another guy also named Clyde Hedrick had rented a place in the area. But he was the wrong age to be our Clyde Hedrick. And then Destiny called up there and they said, no, he's been moved to another facility.

And he still has the echo monitor. He's still everything. I thought you had said Destiny did some sort of search and found that he had rented a place. Well, there was a thing that somebody rented. It was her name, Clyde Hedrick. So she wanted the phone number to see if it was connected with it. And it's not. And the person that rented it, Clyde Hedrick, is 74 years old. But almost immediately, Tim asks yet again when I'm going to meet Clyde.

He wants me to try to catch him in a lie during a recorded interview. I've done a lot of dangerous and, frankly, not very smart things in the course of my career. I just went invasive python hunting in the Everglades, even though I'm terrified of snakes. I've covered deadly protests. I even once signed up to be in a reality show where I live undercover in Kentucky and try to interview members of a drug cartel. If anyone is addicted to excitement, it's probably me. I'm basically an adrenaline junkie.

But I still have to lay out my reasons for deciding not to see Clyde in person. First of all, I didn't think it was journalistically sound to give Clyde, an alleged serial killer, a platform on my show. When I spoke to him over the phone, he already denied he was a killer and accused Tim of being a serial pedophile who killed his own daughter. To be clear, I could find absolutely no evidence that this is the case.

And if Clyde's just going to lie, where's the news value in giving him a soapbox? Safety is also an obvious factor. Moments before, Tim and I had been discussing how my last interaction with Clyde was a disaster, one that triggered a series of events, even if they were based on a misunderstanding, that caused a bunch of people to think they were going to die.

Tim told me point blank, just the day before, that he thought his girlfriend was about to be murdered. Now he was trying to have me meet Clyde in person, in an even less secure location. He seemed to have learned nothing, which was becoming somewhat of a recurring theme. Well, where he's at, it's a supervised place, but it's a smaller facility. Of course, I think there's only six or eight people there. Not many. But he's saying he doesn't want to meet Clyde.

at the place that he lives because that'll draw attention and he might get kicked out or moved again is kind of what he's saying to me. It's bullshit. Well, I asked him if he'd do an interview over the phone. I mean, I'm sure if I called him again, he'd talk. We're standing by Tim's desk when he starts to get more forceful than I've ever seen him. Call him. I'm not going to call him right now. Call him right now. Come on, man. Call him right now. I don't want him to know I'm with you. Well, no, he's not going to know what's...

Stay here with me. A couple of days ago, in this very same office, we watched a video of a prank Tim pulled on Clyde, that one about his Halloween decorations. During the video, Tim was laughing and muttering to himself, calling Clyde a dumbass, even though he wasn't there. Point being, I simply couldn't trust him not to yell out if I put Clyde on speakerphone, which is what I would have to do in order to record the conversation. You want me to call him right now? Yeah, just call him. And say what?

I feel like Tim's getting frustrated with me. But we're at an impasse. I'm not putting Clyde on speakerphone, especially while Tim's in an angry mood. After a little bit more back and forth, Tim mentions that he's taking off to go drag racing in Louisiana. But before he goes, he tries to get me to meet with Clyde one last time. See, you know, if I'm going to be coming in town and I'd still like to meet with you, or if not, would you like to just talk over the phone?

I am the latest tool in Tim's arsenal. And I'm not playing ball. I'd just spent thousands of dollars to come to Texas. And now Tim's skipping town just hours after I've arrived. But Tim's already got another woman there to help him out. Heidi Fye's niece, Nina.

Heidi's father used to take notes into a voice recorder, hoping they might one day be used to solve the case. But now that he's passed away, Nina sees it as her responsibility to not let the case remain unsolved. And she's made this basically her full-time job. She's on her way to the EquiSearch office from another part of Texas to go through the boxes of evidence that Tim has pulled from Clyde's house.

So what is Nina going to be looking for? Just, she's curious? She'd want to look at pictures. She'd want to look at a lot of stuff. And I told her that I was actually on the phone with her when I talked to you. And she was going to rent an office down here. I said, you know what? Why rent anything? Take over my office here. Don't be spending no damn money. So that's it. We smoke a quick cigarette and say goodbye in the parking lot.

It's not exactly an emotional departure either. Go figure. From my point of view, I just put myself in danger for this interview. But to Tim, it was just another interview. All right, I'll see you all tomorrow. Tim, have fun at drag racing, all right? All right, see you around then. Bye. Bye. This isn't necessarily the worst thing, though. Tim just left me alone for the week with boxes and boxes of evidence to go through.

Now I have the opportunity to figure out what's really going on without Tim hovering over my shoulder. Next time on Vigilante... Hey, listen. What's up? Anything I tell you, I don't want you fucking sharing that shit. Some big things are developing right now, and I mean big things. And I can just tell you this, I've solved my daughter's murder.
