概要
A document marked as "lied" in 1975 remains buried in police files for nearly four decades. Two girls disappear in broad daylight at a shopping mall in Maryland, and the lead that could have saved them was ignored without explanation. How is it possible that the answer was archived from the very beginning?
In this episode, we explore the disappearance that obsessed an entire community: the forgotten statement of Lloyd Lee Wells in 1975, its rediscovery 38 years later, and the confessions that ultimately came too late. From the "man with the tape recorder" that no one could identify to the massive blood traces found in a basement, we will examine how investigative negligence allowed the mystery to linger for three decades.
Victims: Kate Lyon (10 years old) and Sheila Lyon (12 years old)
Date: March 25, 1975
Location: Wheaton Plaza, Wheaton, Maryland
Status: Confessed guilty (Lloyd Lee Wells, 2017); open investigation regarding accomplices
- The sketch of the scruffy young man from 1975 matched police photos of Wells from 1977, but was abandoned without investigation
- Wells mentioned that the victims were "burned," a detail never publicly disclosed before his confession
- Wells' uncle, Richard Allen Wells, worked as a security guard at Wheaton Plaza on the day of the disappearance
- Excavations in 2014 found burned soil and bone fragments with no recoverable DNA, but the basement revealed a "slaughterhouse" with luminol
