A grave digger. A Civil War reenactor. A man with a van full of rope, duct tape, and maps marked with X’s.
In this episode of A Heavy Weight, we reveal the man who may have haunted the Midwest for over a decade—Larry Dewayne Hall. Though convicted of kidnapping Jessica Roach, he’s suspected in the disappearances of more than 40 young women, including Holly Ann Anderson, who was found murdered just three miles from Jessica.
Hall confessed to many of the crimes—then recanted them all. We go inside the cell where he spilled secrets to a confidential informant, explore the van that may have served as his mobile crime scene, and read from the notebooks where he documented what might be the deadliest lies in recent U.S. history. Why couldn’t investigators convict him of even a single murder? Why do so many families still wait for answers? And what do we owe the girls whose names he tried to bury?
