This is episode 4 in our Murder at Lake Waco series. A trigger warning for our listeners: this series contains gruesome depictions of murders and mentions of sexual assault. This episode looks at the trial proceedings of the Lake Waco murder case, which will reveal troublesome details about the night of April 1982. We advise proceeding with caution. In a shivering hand, David Spence scrawled a chilling account of a conversation that had taken place between Deeb and himself.

Gayle Kelley was no fan of policemen, but she was less a fan of Lucky Deeb, her former employer, who had just admitted to killing Kenneth Franks, Jill Montgomery, and Raylene Rice in the wooded area around Lake Waco. Though he brushed it off as a joke, Gayle didn't believe him. She saw the look in his eyes and knew she was looking at a killer.

Sergeant Truman Simons stood silently, staring down at the lifeless body of the young girl. Her long, dark brown hair was a stark contrast to the still-shiny gold necklace that hung around her neck, the chain now broken and partially embedded in the wound. She had been gagged with her own blouse, and her hands were tied behind her back with a strip of cloth. The officer could tell that she had been dead for some time, with ants and pillbugs already crawling over her bloodstained body and flies having laid their eggs in her nasal cavities.

"I want you to understand… I speak the truth when I say I didn't kill your kids. I have not killed anyone." These were the last words of the alleged murdered before the executioners filled his chamber with toxic chemicals and his heart… stopped beating. We rewind back to a quiet Monday afternoon in 1982. 18-year-old Kenneth Franks stood at his window, waiting for his friends to arrive. Jill had just called to tell him she'd be in the area to pick up her paycheque from work, so she'd be free to hang out for a few hours. Her friend Raylene Rice would be with her, and they could all go down to Koehne Park with a few burgers and watch the sunset. Support our podcast by becoming a patron. Find us on all platforms.

Joseph Orton did it, something he told himself he would never do. Shoot a man to kill, in order to please his lover. John’s words still echoing in his mind after he pulled the trigger. “Oh Lord!” Joseph jolted back a few steps before slipping on the roof of the shed. He dropped his rifle and fell to the ground beside it. He took a moment to make sure he wasn’t injured, grabbed his rifle and ran off into the woods. He needed to get rid of the rifle as fast as he could. Earlier that day he had stowed away his coat, a bundle and his boots near the northwest corner of the property. He did this as he knew he boot prints would be recognized.Support our podcast by becoming a patron.Visit us online.Visit us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I promise, it will all become clear as this series continues. We last left off with Joseph Orton agreeing to write Elsie Whipple a letter. Which left him confused as to what her motive was.

As Robert was taken to be booked into jail he made further comments to Detective Sanchez. He told him he had lied again in one part of his confession. He said Emily had woken up when he reached the ranch and began to fight him. He had said that’s why he hit her with the bicycle pump. The truth was Emily had never regained consciousness. She posed no threat to him at all. His continued brutal attack had been his active choice.Support our podcast by becoming a patron.Visit us online.Visit us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Detectives were beginning to look more closely at Robert Earley. They asked him to come to the station for an informal recorded interview. Robert was happy to cooperate. At the station, he was shown into a square interview room with a round table in the corner and a chair on either side. Wearing a red baseball cap, grey sweatshirt with black long sleeves, and black faded jeans, Robert went in and casually hung his jacket over the back of the chair. Sitting down with his back to the wall, he is facing the camera pointing straight at him from its quiet position in the top corner of the room.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the city of Carlsbad, New Mexico in March 2014, Emily Lambert, a beautiful mother of two, would vanish without a trace. Desperate pleas from her family, friends, and boyfriend begged for information and her safe return. Behind the eyes of one individual, there was an undercurrent of violence. It simmered on the surface, occasionally bubbling up before settling back down.  A menacing threat just waiting to explode. When that moment came, there was a loss of temper so violent the results were catastrophic. When control was regained, the violence didn’t stop. The level of callous cruelty was taken up a notch again and again as the focus shifted to self-preservation. A monster is defined as a wicked being. Exerting control and power while carrying out truly heinous acts intended to cause ultimate harm. We go through our lives day to day believing people around us are inherently good. It makes the unmasking of a true monster all the more terrifying. The anguish and fear of those first days searching for Emil
