1
00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:03.640
Just a quick heads up to let you guys know

2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.799
that we have bonus episodes available on Patreon. If you

3
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:10.560
want to support the show in return, we'll give you

4
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:15.199
access to our bonus series called Night Terrors. That's over

5
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:19.719
fourteen new bonus episodes that are not available anywhere else,

6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.920
and I'm actually working on the fifteenth right now. It's

7
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.760
going to be on a man named Ian Watkins, and

8
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.120
it's going to be quite horrific, one of the most

9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.320
brutal and shocking cases we've ever covered. So if you

10
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.159
want to get access to that and just help out

11
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.320
the show by giving us a few bucks a month

12
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:43.159
patreon dot com slash Tapes from the dark Side, Thank

13
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:43.799
you so much.

14
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.840
Tapes from the Dark Side contains descriptions of violence and sexuality.

15
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.240
Listener discretion is advised.

16
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.280
It was just before nine pm on September twenty fourth,

17
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:13.439
nineteen seventy three. Eighteen year old Becky Thompson Brown grabbed

18
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.400
her keys and asked her eleven year old half sister,

19
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.400
Amy Burridge, if she wanted to come along for a

20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.439
quick grocery run, just a routine trip to the thrift

21
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.359
Way store in Casper, Wyoming, a quiet town of fewer

22
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.599
than forty thousand people back then, where a visit to

23
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:35.159
the market meant bumping into neighbors and exchanging small town smiles.

24
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.359
The sisters drove Becky's Ford station wagon to the store

25
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:43.840
at twelfth in Melrose. Inside nothing seemed out of the ordinary,

26
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.560
just two girls scanning the aisles for dinner ingredients. But

27
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.120
when they stepped back outside, one of the car's tires

28
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.760
was flat. They didn't know it had been slashed. They

29
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.799
didn't know that the two men parked beside them, Jerry

30
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.040
Jenkins and Ronald Kennedy, were the ones who did it.

31
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.959
The men offered to help, playing the part of friendly strangers.

32
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:12.240
In reality, they were circling prey. The tire was never

33
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.800
the point. It was a trap. Within minutes, the girls

34
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.560
were abducted. The men were drunk and dangerous. Jerry Jenkins,

35
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:25.639
heavy set and slow eyed, drove. Ronald, twitchy and wild looking,

36
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.960
sat in the passenger seat and began to terrorize the

37
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.919
girls as the car veered away from town. At first

38
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.759
they headed towards the looming shadows of Casper Mountain, then

39
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.199
deeper into the darkness toward Alcova Lake. Hours passed, then

40
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:47.240
came the Fremont Canyon Bridge, thirty six miles southwest of Casper.

41
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:55.560
That's where the real horror began. Amy was dragged out first.

42
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.199
Becky screamed, was held back in the car by Jerry.

43
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.120
She didn't know her little sister was being led to

44
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.520
the edge and thrown. Later, a coroner would testify that

45
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.599
Amy likely struck the canyon wall head first before falling

46
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.639
into the river below. Her spine shattered, her brain was pierced.

47
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.439
She died in seconds. Becky, still trapped, was next. The

48
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.680
men raped her. Then when they were done, they took

49
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.280
her to the bridge, the same one Amy had just

50
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.960
been tossed from. They talked about making sure she didn't survive,

51
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:34.280
and then they threw her over. But Becky did survive.

52
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.319
She slammed into a rock ledge, then bounced into the

53
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.639
icy water. Broken, bleeding, she dragged herself to the shore,

54
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.439
and there, in the pitch black, she lay. She covered

55
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.759
herself with her own waist length hair and stones to

56
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.800
keep from freezing, nude from the waist down, bones shattered,

57
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:59.560
She waited for dawn. When the sun finally rose, Becky

58
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.960
clawed her way up from the embankment inch by inch

59
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.840
until she reached the top. There, lying in the dirt,

60
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.759
she flagged down an elderly couple, and that's how Becky

61
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:17.240
Thompson Brown lived to tell the story to the outside world.

62
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.920
It seemed that Becky had survived. In one sense, she had,

63
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.800
but in another sense, Becky died that day too with

64
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.160
her sister. It just took longer for her death to

65
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:35.560
play out. The arrest came quickly, the jury didn't waiver.

66
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.480
Ronald Kennedy's lawyer pleaded insanity. Jerry Jenkins defense tried to

67
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.399
shift the blame. Neither tactic landed. Both men were sentenced

68
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.839
to die, but death never came. In nineteen seventy seven,

69
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:55.480
though Wyoming Supreme Court overturned the sentences, the US Supreme

70
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.360
Court ruling forced the state to reduce them to life

71
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:03.079
in prison. They lived behind bars, while Becky lived with

72
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.439
what they had done. Her testimony had helped steal their

73
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.639
fate in court, but the scars that left behind didn't

74
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.439
fade in the years that followed. Not for her, not

75
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:14.480
for her family.

76
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.759
Our family was shattered.

77
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.959
Tony Kay says Amy and Becky's mother that was in

78
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.040
an interview with the Star Tribune.

79
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.199
Amy was our little clown and our happiness. She kept

80
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:28.000
us all together.

81
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.839
When Amy was ripped away, everything began to unravel. Amy's grandfather,

82
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.600
a man named g. O. Burridge, couldn't pair the loss.

83
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.800
His son, Jeremiah, says the heartbreak killed him.

84
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:46.199
Quote they killed three people, Becky, Amy, and my father.

85
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.959
Becky's death was more prolonged on the outside. She moved forward.

86
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.720
She got a job at the Casper Police Department. Later

87
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:02.319
she worked in radio advertising Kvoc and Kate. She got married,

88
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.439
had a daughter. To the world she was surviving with

89
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.480
the pain followed her. Her friend Lisa Eisnaggel remembered Becky's warmth,

90
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.600
her pranks, the way she laughed until she cried. But

91
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.759
she also remembered the day Becky first revealed who she

92
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.399
really was and what she had lived through. There were

93
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:29.120
no tears. Becky just told the story, stonefaced, calm, almost clinical.

94
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.720
She once described how she clawed her way up that canyon,

95
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.800
how her stomach was falling out as she crawled back

96
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.560
to survive. Lisa said it was unbearable to hear.

97
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.879
Quote it was just so harrowing to hear. You just

98
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.199
want to take her in your arms and say, oh

99
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.839
my gosh, let me do something.

100
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.199
Becky carried survivor's guild like a second skin. Dave Devalla,

101
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.240
a former police investigator who remained close to Becky, close

102
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.480
enough to give her away at her wedding, said quote.

103
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.240
She was troubled that her sister had died and she hadn't.

104
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.399
But her torment didn't stop in the past. It crept

105
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:11.720
into the present. Year after year, Each time the Pearle

106
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.519
board considered releasing one of the attackers, each notice from

107
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.959
the state reopened the wound. Becky was haunted by memory,

108
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.959
by guilt, by the sheer injustice of it all. Tony,

109
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.079
the girl's mother, said quote.

110
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.040
It's a sad commentary. Becky worked hard, and.

111
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:33.720
His meaning, Ronald Kennedy's.

112
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.160
Subsistence came out of her taxes.

113
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.399
Eventually, Becky's pain started showing on the outside. She battled alcoholism,

114
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:46.160
a battle she was losing. Her marriage ended. She worried

115
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:50.160
constantly about money, especially how to support her daughter. Veil

116
00:07:51.199 --> 00:08:02.000
then came July thirty first, nineteen ninety two. Becky drove

117
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.079
out to the place where everything changed, the Fremont Canyon Bridge.

118
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.000
She brought Veil and the man she was dating. She

119
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.879
just said she had to go there, the man told

120
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.560
the Associated Press shortly after he gave the interview on

121
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.519
the basis that his identity be kept confidential. Quote.

122
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.920
The more I told her not to go out there,

123
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.160
the faster she went.

124
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.160
Becky stood on the same bridge, above the same river

125
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.600
where she had once been thrown. She cried. The man

126
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.320
picked up Veil, her daughter, and carried her back to

127
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.399
the car. Whatever Becky was about to do, her daughter

128
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.639
shouldn't see it. No one knows if she jumped or slipped.

129
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.080
But when she fell that second time, it was fatal.

130
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.720
Lisa doesn't believe it was suicide, not completely. Quote.

131
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.759
I'm not going to say she wasn't contemplating it the

132
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.480
way everything was caving in on her, but I don't

133
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.080
think she that to her daughter.

134
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.600
Still, Becky Thompson Brown died the same way she was

135
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:10.279
supposed to die nineteen years earlier, only this time nothing

136
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:14.600
could stop fate. We're gonna take a quick ad break.

139
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:28.840
We'll be right back. Don't go anywhere. Dave Dovallo was

140
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.600
working security at the Central Wyoming fair and Rodeo. When

141
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.679
the call came in there been an incident at the

142
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.399
Fremont Canyon bridge. He was already en route when he

143
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.799
heard who it was quote.

144
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.519
I knew immediately who it was.

145
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.960
The survivor who had once defied death from that very

146
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:51.519
bridge nineteen years earlier. Little about the place had changed.

147
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:56.519
Fremont Canyon still yawns open below the steel frame, sheer

148
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.679
granite walls, facing one hundred and twelve feet into the

149
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:04.480
North Platte River. It's green waters eerily still. A chain

150
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.639
link fence now runs along the edge, but it offers

151
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.519
more warning than safety. Over the years, people have come

152
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.919
to that spot, some out of curiosity, some for answers,

153
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:21.240
some to mourn. One of them was Wyoming Representative Gerald Gay,

154
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.879
a Casper native. Last year he approached county commissioners with

155
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:30.559
a quiet proposal. A memorial bench, not a plaque, not

156
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.679
a monument, just a simple stone seat cut from the

157
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:39.000
same red granite as the canyon itself etched into it

158
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.840
remember September twenty fifth, nineteen seventy three. No names, no explanation.

159
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.679
He calls it a curiosity, not a tribute, something that

160
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.000
might catch a traveler's eye and make them wonder what

161
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.279
happened here? Who was lost? Because the truth is of

162
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.799
the four people who drove to that on the night

163
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.679
of September fourth, nineteen seventy three, only one is still alive.

164
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.200
Ronald Kennedy, now in his late sixties, remains behind bars

165
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.120
and rawlings, Wyoming. He has repeatedly refused to speak to

166
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.879
the press. Jerry Jenkins, the man who drove the car

167
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.879
and took his turn in the horror, died in prison

168
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:26.039
in nineteen ninety eight. He was fifty four. Amy and

169
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.879
Becky are buried in Casper. Few family members remain in

170
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:34.200
town now, but the graves are tended. Friends still leave flowers,

171
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:40.279
still whisper prayers. Their mother, Tony Case, lives in Bakersfield, California.

172
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.120
She's eighty years old, widowed alone now except for her dog.

173
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:51.399
Becky's daughter, Veil, is grown, married, living in Chicago. Tony

174
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.279
says they're still close. She thinks about her daughters every day,

175
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.919
not always with tears, but always with weight. It's not

176
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.639
in an easy life, she said, for her or the

177
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.720
rest of the surviving family members. Then she paused, not

178
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:08.440
with bitterness, but with truth.

179
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.840
Quote, we're serving hard time. For a lifetime.

180
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.240
Tony thinks that the alcohol gave her a false sense

181
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.039
of courage to face her fears. Quote.

182
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.000
Maybe she thought going there would help her get past it.

183
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.960
No one will ever truly know what went through Rebecca's

184
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.960
mind in those final moments on the bridge, But in

185
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.720
the days, even the hours leading up to her death,

186
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.159
there were signs, subtle, chilling echoes of what was coming.

187
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.200
Just a week before, she bought a copy of Ode

188
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:44.559
to Billy Joe, a film about a young man haunted

189
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:49.440
by abuse who ultimately leaps from the Mississippi Tallahatchie Bridge.

190
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.559
Becky didn't just watch it once. She watched it four times.

191
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:58.279
Each time she wept. Her boyfriend remembers asking her why,

192
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.919
she told him quote it reminds me. When he pressed her,

193
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.399
she simply added, I like to cry. But behind the

194
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.399
tears there was something far more complex, a fear that

195
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.480
never let go. Becky had testified against the men who

196
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:19.039
had tried to kill her, Ronald Kennedy and Jerry Jenkins.

197
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.279
In court. She pointed them out. She stood strong, even

198
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:26.399
as Kennedy locked eyes with her and drew his finger

199
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.159
slowly across his throat, a silent promise of revenge, and

200
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.279
Becky believed it. She lived with the constant fear that

201
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.480
they'd find a way out, that one day the prison

202
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:42.000
gates would open and they'd come looking for her, And

203
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:47.720
maybe that fear never really left. Becky's ex husband thought

204
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.320
that Becky chose to jump that day. Quote.

205
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.039
She always thought that she should have died and not

206
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.960
her sister. I just think that she was to the

207
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.080
point where she gave up. The reason she went back

208
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.399
to that bridge was because we're sister to be with Amy.

209
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.039
When it was all over, Becky's ashes were laid to rest,

210
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:10.799
not in some distant cemetery, but right where she wanted

211
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:15.759
to be buried, on top of Amy's casket, Island Cemetery

212
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.799
in Casper. Over five hundred people came to say goodbye,

213
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:34.080
to mourn her, to honor her, to remember. Before we

214
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.679
officially end today, I thought it'd be interesting to take

215
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.120
a listen to the trailer from the film Owe to

216
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.759
Billy Joe. This is the film that Becky watched four

217
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.440
times before her incident on the bridge. Suicide or accident,

218
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.000
whatever it might have been. This film is about a

219
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.679
young man who was haunted by abuse, who jumped from

220
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.000
the Tallahatchie Bridge in Mississippi.

221
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:08.360
It was a third of June, another sleepy dust adel.

222
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:13.159
Today what the song didn't take?

223
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.240
The movie will show you. Bobby Gentries ode to Billy

224
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.639
Joe is now a movie day.

225
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.360
Billy Joe McCallister jumped up.

226
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.480
The teller jiby.

227
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:29.600
That afternoon.

228
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.960
Mister Harley. Hi, I'm Billy Joe McAllister.

229
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.240
Good morning, mister mss Harley, I'm Billy Joe McAllister. You

230
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:38.120
may remember me.

231
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.279
That's something wrong with that boy by now.

232
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.159
Your papa surely knows who I am.

233
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.240
Oh, he knows who you are. You just don't know

234
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.480
what you are. No, I screamed no, and then I

235
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:54.159
heard my own voice saying yes, yes, yes, and no no, no,

236
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.600
no no.

237
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.120
You were up late last night reading.

238
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.960
The Good Book? Oh yes, mommy, who was a good book?

239
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.039
Girls?

240
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.639
Growing Up Benn featured some very strange ideas too.

241
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.720
Here we are the second half of the twentieth century,

242
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.039
the twentieth century, Mississippi.

243
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.320
I get to hear wording how are you girl? Thirty two.

244
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:29.159
D cut, I love you. It seemed like no good

245
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.440
ever come to nobody on this bridge. Now, years after

246
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.879
the whispers and the rumors the Tallahatchee River gives up

247
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.919
its secrets.

248
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:40.879
In me, I spent a lot of time beckings, I

249
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.559
was a bone chop, don't read.

250
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:50.519
And drop the men to the muddy water of the Telesion.

251
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.559
But the song didn't tell you, the movie will show you.

252
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.159
Bobby Gentry is legendary ode to Billy Joe. The song

253
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:00.000
is now the movie.

254
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.200
