See No Evil

Narrator: A KILLER LOOSE ON THE STREETS OF BOSTON.

IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF CHILLING TO WATCH HIS ACTIONS.

Narrator: HE STALKS, ATTACKS, AND KILLS WITHOUT WARNING.

HE'S NOT COMING AFTER MY MONEY. HE'S COMING AFTER MY LIFE.

SHE LOOKED TERRIFIED.

McLaughlin: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED,

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M SEEING HERE.

THERE ARE NOT WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT WE LOST

AND HOW OUR LIVES HAVE FOREVER CHANGED.

Narrator: POLICE SCRAMBLE TO CATCH THIS KILLER

BEFORE HE STRIKES AGAIN.

AND THEY TURN TO THE ONE WITNESS THAT'S SEEN IT ALL.

WE WERE LOOKING AT VIDEO AS QUICKLY AS WE COULD.

Narrator: CAN SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS HELP CATCH A MONSTER

ON A KILLING SPREE

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR HIS NEXT VICTIM?

TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2013.

00 A.M.

WORK IS IN FULL SWING AT INTERACTIVE MEDIA'S

DOWNTOWN BOSTON OFFICE.

COFFEE, BLACK, RIGHT?

CAN YOU GET PHIL A BLACK COFFEE, PLEASE?

IT STARTS OUT AS JUST ANOTHER DAY,

EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.

24-YEAR-OLD AMY LORD IS LATE TO WORK.

AND AMY LORD IS NEVER LATE.

BEING LATE, MY SISTER WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

SHE LOVED WORKING THERE. SHE LOVED BEING A PART OF A TEAM.

NO, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER.

SHE WAS JUST SO VERY SURE OF HERSELF

AND WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO.

SHE HAD BIG DREAMS, AND SHE WAS HEADED

RIGHT IN THE DIRECTION OF THEM.

Narrator: AMY'S COWORKERS CALL HER CELLPHONE OVER AND OVER.

SHE NEVER PICKS UP THE PHONE,

AND SHE DOESN'T CALL THEM BACK.

THEY CALL AMY'S PARENTS,

WHO LIVE AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY.

SHE NEVER SHOWED UP FOR WORK THIS MORNING.

I WAS JUST WONDERING IF SHE...

THEY HAVEN'T HEARD FROM AMY, EITHER.

30, THERE'S STILL NO WORD.

HER MANAGER HAS SEEN ENOUGH.

I HAVE A STAFF MEMBER... SHE CALLS THE POLICE.

00, A CALL CAME IN FOR A MISSING PERSON.

THERE HAD BEEN A GIRL WHO'D GONE MISSING.

SHE'D BEEN REPORTED BY COWORKERS AND FRIENDS.

HI. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OUR COLLEAGUE HERE,

SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR WORK THIS MORNING,

AND THEN IT'S SO WEIRD THAT SHE'S NOT...

THERE'S NO FAMILY EMERGENCY.

SHE'S NOT WITH HER FAMILY.

THIS WAS VERY UNUSUAL FOR HER,

SO THE MISSING-PERSONS REPORT WAS FILED.

Narrator: AMY, A RECENT COLLEGE GRAD,

MOVED TO BOSTON FOR A JOB AT A DIGITAL MARKETING COMPANY.

Carly: AMY WAS THE OLDEST.

I AM THE YOUNGEST, AND THEN WE HAD ONE SISTER

TWO YEARS BETWEEN THE BOTH OF US.

AND WE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN WHERE EVERYONE KNEW YOUR NAME,

SO IT WAS DEFINITELY A BIG MOVE FOR HER TO BOSTON,

BUT SHE LOVED IT.

SHE WAS A VERY PRETTY GIRL,

THE CHEERLEADER, ALL THAT CLASSIC,

BUT SHE KIND OF HAD A SMART TO HER

THAT YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT.

SHE WENT TO BENTLEY, WHICH IS A GREAT COLLEGE,

AND SHE DUAL MAJORED THERE

AND GOT A GREAT JOB RIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE.

SHE MOVED OUT WITH A COUPLE OF HER ROOMMATES

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER SHE GRADUATED.

SHE REALLY DID LIKE BEING THE CITY GIRL,

WHICH NONE OF US SAW COMING.

SHE FELT VERY SAFE HERE.

Narrator: FROM WHAT POLICE LEARN,

AMY LORD WAS HAPPY WITH HER LIFE.

McLaughlin: WE WERE DEALING WITH A KID WHO CAME FROM A GOOD FAMILY,

FROM A NICE TOWN.

I MEAN, THE PICTURE WAS OF WHAT YOU WOULD WANT AS A PARENT.

Narrator: POLICE MEET AMY'S PARENTS AT HER SOUTH BOSTON APARTMENT

AT 124 DORCHESTER STREET.

McLaughlin: THEY SEARCHED THE APARTMENT.

THEY WERE IN THE APARTMENT. THEY WERE IN HER ROOM.

THEY'RE SEEING IF THERE WAS ANY KIND

OF SIGN OF STRUGGLE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

Narrator: BUT THERE'S NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY

AT AMY'S APARTMENT --

NO BLOOD, NO SIGNS OF STRUGGLE, NOTHING FOR POLICE TO GO ON.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE AMY DRIVES?

JEEP CHEROKEE.

THE FAMILY CONFIRM WITH POLICE

THAT AMY DRIVES A BLACK JEEP CHEROKEE,

AND THAT RINGS A BELL FROM A REPORT EARLIER THAT MORNING.

Pappas: THE MOTOR VEHICLE FIRE

WAS REPORTED AT ABOUT 8:37 IN THE MORNING.

AMY LORD HAD NOT BEEN REPORTED MISSING AT THE TIME

THE CAR WAS DISCOVERED ON FIRE IN SOUTH BOSTON.

McLaughlin: WHEN THE BOSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED,

THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

IT WAS PUT OUT, AND IT WAS TOWED FROM THERE

FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION,

NOT KNOWING THERE WAS ANY CONNECTION TO ANYTHING ELSE.

Pappas: THERE WAS A LICENSE PLATE INTACT.

THAT CORRESPONDED WITH AMY LORD.

AND THAT RAISED RED FLAGS.

McLaughlin: THINGS WERE LOOKING MORE AND MORE BLEAK,

AND THEIR CONCERN HAD CERTAINLY RISEN

FROM JUST WHERE IS SHE,

BUT TO THE POINT NOW, WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

Narrator: THE INVESTIGATION MUST QUICKEN.

POLICE CHECK AMY'S BANK RECORDS

AND GET THEIR FIRST CLUE.

McLaughlin: THE BANK RECORDS SHOW THAT,

03 A.M. THAT MORNING,

THERE WAS A SEQUENCE OF FIVE DIFFERENT BANKS

THAT SHE MADE OR ATTEMPTED TO MAKE WITHDRAWALS FROM,

STARTING AT THE MOUNT WASHINGTON BANK,

WHICH WAS JUST AT THE END OF DORCHESTER STREET

CLOSE TO HER HOUSE.

WENT TO A METRO CREDIT UNION RIGHT AFTER THAT

AND THEN TO A BANK OF AMERICA, A SOVEREIGN BANK,

AND A CITIZENS BANK.

BETWEEN THOSE FIVE VISITS, THERE WAS JUST UNDER $1,000

THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT.

OBVIOUSLY, THE MISSING PERSON IS CONCERNING

WHEN YOU FIND HER CAR BURNT.

THAT STEPS IT UP EVEN MORE,

FINDING OUT ABOUT ATM WITHDRAWALS

AT DIFFERENT BANKS.

YOU KNOW, YOU START THINKING ABOUT THE WORST.

Narrator: THESE ATMs HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN JUST CASH.

EACH HAS A VIDEO CAMERA,

AND EACH ONE RECORDS EVERY TRANSACTION.

INVESTIGATORS ARE ABOUT TO SEE AMY LORD...

OR WHOEVER HAS HER ATM CARD.

POLICE START ROUNDING UP THE BANK VIDEOS.

OKAY, SO WHERE ARE WE AT?

THE VIDEOS WILL COME IN ONE BY ONE,

AND POLICE WILL GET A CLOSE-UP VIEW

OF THE HORRIFYING JOURNEY OF AMY LORD.

YEAH, THAT'S DEFINITELY IT.

SHE LOOKED TERRIFIED.

Narrator: AN 24-YEAR-OLD FORMER CHEERLEADER AMY LORD

IS MISSING IN SOUTH BOSTON.

HER CAR HAS BEEN FOUND BURNED OUT,

AND HER BANK RECORDS REVEAL A DISTURBING TRAIL.

POLICE ARE FEARING THE WORST

BUT DESPERATELY NEED TO VIEW VIDEO

FROM THE FIVE BANKS SHE MADE WITHDRAWALS FROM.

McLAUGHLIN.

BUT BEFORE THEY GET TO SEE THEM...

I'M ON MY WAY.

...THAT AFTERNOON,

AS A HEAVY DOWNPOUR DESCENDS OVER BOSTON,

ANOTHER CALL COMES IN TO POLICE.

IT'S THE NEWS NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR.

A CYCLIST OUT FOR AN AFTERNOON RIDE

HAS MADE A GRISLY DISCOVERY.

McLaughlin: 00,

WE GOT NOTIFIED THAT A BODY HAD BEEN RECOVERED IN HYDE PARK,

OUT IN THE STONY BROOK RESERVATION.

Narrator: IT'S THE BODY OF A YOUNG WOMAN,

STABBED AND STRANGLED TO DEATH.

I MEAN, I BASICALLY BLUE-LIGHTED ALL THE WAY OUT THERE.

I WALKED UP TO THE AREA WHERE HER BODY WAS FOUND.

ANY I.D. ON HER AT ALL?

NOTHING YET.

BASED ON THE PHOTOS WE HAD OF HER,

WE WERE VERY SURE THAT IT WAS AMY LORD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED,

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M SEEING HERE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU DO START FLASHING

BACK AND FORTH TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL FAILINGS

AND YOUR OWN PERSONAL SITUATION,

AS A FATHER OF TWO YOUNG GIRLS OF SIMILAR AGE,

THOSE EMOTIONS KIND OF REALLY HIT ME HARD.

Narrator: DETECTIVE JAMIE SHEEHAN MUST NOW TELL AMY'S PARENTS

THAT THEIR DAUGHTER IS NEVER COMING HOME.

PL-PLEASE SIT -- PLEASE SIT DOWN.

Sheehan: IT'S HORRIBLE.

YOU'RE NOW COMING AS THE BEARER OF THE WORST NEWS IMAGINABLE.

I'M AFRAID I HAVE SOME TERRIBLE NEWS.

IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

YOU KNOW, HOW YOU LOOK AT YOUR KIDS,

HOW YOU LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS.

I MEAN, I --

I DON'T EVEN THINK I CAN PUT THAT INTO WORDS.

I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT COULD REALLY --

LOSING A CHILD LIKE THAT AND JUST FROM SUCH A NICE,

CARING, LOVING, CLOSE FAMILY.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK YOU'LL EVER GET OVER THAT.

I COULD GO ON AND ON FOR DAYS

ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVED HER AND WHAT SHE MEANT TO ME.

THAT KIND OF CLOSE-KNIT

THAT YOU HOPE SISTERS WOULD HAVE.

Narrator: AMY'S CASE IS NOW A MURDER.

POLICE ARE DEPENDING ON A SERIES OF FIVE ATM VIDEOS

TO GIVE THEM A LEAD.

THE ACTUAL VIDEO THAT WAS COMING IN OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY

FROM THE DIFFERENT BANKS.
