cold-case-files-18-portrait-of-a-killer-the-tortured-truth

In this documentary, part of the Investigative Reports series from A&E, more "cold cases" are looked at again and re-examined by law enforcement authorities. Narrated by Investigative Reports host and producer Bill Kurtis, this video looks at two of these "cold" cases, starting with the 1974 disappearance of freelance photographer Michele Wallace. Five years after Wallace's disappearance, police dropped the case due to lack of evidence. Ten years later, it was reopened and a suspect was finally convicted. The second cold case deals with Joe Clark, who liked to torture his victims. After Clark took home Thad Philips and broke many of the bones in his limbs, Clark mistakenly left his victim alone. Philips called the authorities and Clark was arrested for that crime and an earlier murder.

joe's was definitely a serial killer in the making, his parents should be ashamed for trying to make excuses for him. THUMBS OF FOR THAD so brave and courageous

Joe's parents look evil. They are probably the ones who taught Joe the art of torture.

[crackfiendables]

poor guy! those parents should be ashamed, how could they not have known about it in such a small house? i sense lies from them they are just as deceitful as their son.
