0:58

Unto the episode,

1:01

Hey it's Jake here, I just wanted

1:03

to give you a heads up that this episode

1:06

contains a detailed account of a hate

1:08

crime, a murder previously

1:19

on deep Cover.

1:22

Greig Peterson, you don't know us, but we're here.

1:24

I want to talk to you federal agents. Can

1:27

we approach you? And Craig

1:29

just looked at us and

1:32

said, I don't know what you're talking

1:34

about.

1:35

I think he says something like, yeah, we heard rumors about that

1:37

that someone said we did a homicide.

1:39

But man's now, that's nothing

1:41

to it. We didn't do any homicides. It's

1:44

a bunch of junk.

1:45

You could feel the tension, but you

1:47

can also feel like he's about to

1:49

say something, and then he says,

1:54

I'll tell you everything.

2:02

So there are Scott Duffy and

2:04

Terry Mortimer in a conference room

2:07

at the FBI's offices in Willington,

2:09

Delaware, and they're sitting

2:11

on the edge of their seats because

2:13

across the table from them is Craig Peterson,

2:16

the electrician from Vermont with the spiderweb

2:19

tattoo. Now they

2:21

suspect that Craig was an accomplice to a

2:23

murder. For months, Craig had been playing

2:25

at cool, admitting to nothing. But

2:28

now in this conference room, Craig

2:31

has promised to tell them everything.

2:34

It was a moment that I think

2:37

of everything that Terry

2:39

and I had been through, had prayed

2:41

through, and

2:45

this was the moment in time. This

2:48

was it. It was almost like, this

2:51

is the reason why

2:53

you were brought together.

2:56

Mind you, this moment, it wasn't

2:58

just the result of good luck. Two

3:00

days prior, Scott and Terry had

3:03

played their best and last card.

3:05

They had handed Craig a subpoena to appear

3:08

before a grand jury. They

3:10

were hoping that this would get him talking. It

3:13

was a long shot.

3:13

Really.

3:14

Truth was, the Feds had very

3:17

little on Craig, but Craig

3:20

he offered to tell them everything.

3:22

Before he did, however, he

3:24

made a request.

3:26

He says, I need to have assurances,

3:30

and we said what type of assurances?

3:33

Well, you have a prosecutor on board.

3:36

Can you call the prosecutor? Absolutely, we can call

3:38

the prosecutor. But

3:42

Greg, you gotta I

3:44

can't just call a prosecutor over here and waste

3:46

his time. You've

3:49

got to tell us what is it

3:51

we're asking the prosecutor to come for. And

3:55

that's when he

3:57

says, I'm not the shooter and

4:02

I want immunity.

4:06

Upon hearing this, Scott's partner

4:08

Terry, kind of sat up in his chair.

4:12

Now I'm thinking myself, this dude's

4:14

pretty savvy. Dude thinking like

4:16

attorneys talk about immunity, Federal agents talk

4:18

about immunity. Not the

4:20

electricians from Earl and Tim Vermont

4:23

get like, where did you get that from? That's

4:25

what he said, I want immunity.

4:27

Now, Typically giving someone immunity

4:30

is not a quick or easy task, especially

4:33

in a situation like this where

4:35

someone's been murdered. Getting

4:37

all the higher ups to sign off can take

4:39

days or longer, but

4:41

Scott knew time was of the essence.

4:44

He needed to jump on this before Craig

4:46

changed his mind. Fortunately

4:49

he had a prosecutor on standby.

4:52

Prosecutor dropped

4:54

everything, ran to my office. We

4:57

spoke with him briefly, saying, in

4:59

so many words, he's confessed and

5:03

we don't know where to go from here. And

5:06

so he said, so

5:09

what you need is immunity? Am

5:12

I hearing that?

5:13

And Scott's like, yeah, that's exactly

5:16

what Craig is asking for. And the

5:18

prosecutor is like, I think I can

5:20

help you, guys. But first,

5:23

the prosecutor had one crucial question

5:25

and he wants to ask it directly to Craig.

5:28

So he hurries over to the conference

5:31

room.

5:32

And the first thing the prosecutor asked him very

5:34

first thing, are

5:37

you the shooter if it comes

5:39

back at all in any way that you

5:42

pulled the trigger? Deals

5:44

off, no immunity

5:46

nothing.

5:48

Craig tells them, no, I

5:51

didn't pull the trigger, wasn't me. The

5:54

prosecutor seems satisfied. He

5:56

whips out a pen and begins to write

5:58

out a grant of federal immunity.

6:01

I'm looking at Scott in one this

6:04

is unbelievable, that never.

6:06

Happens, but that's

6:08

exactly what happened.

6:10

So with that, Craig

6:13

tells us that he starts the

6:16

Damn breaks.

6:19

Up until now, Scott and Terry had

6:21

been going on a prayer, quite literally,

6:24

chasing down rumors and nothing more.

6:27

But that was about to change.

6:30

A confession was at hand, one

6:32

that would validate Scott and Terry's hope

6:35

that they were uncovering something they were

6:37

destined to find. Ultimately,

6:39

this confession would upend many people's

6:42

lives. It would transform

6:44

a whispered rumor into a full blown

6:46

murder investigation, and maybe,

6:49

just maybe it could lead them to the victim.

7:05

I'm Jake Alpern and this is Deep

7:08

Cover, Season four, The

7:10

Nameless Man, Episode

7:24

two, The Confession. After

7:37

the Damn Breaks, Craig just starts

7:39

talking, recounting what he could remember

7:41

from that night back in nineteen eighty nine

7:44

when he and tom Guybison were

7:46

still in high school.

7:48

And so he starts telling us how it went down. That

7:50

basically that he and Tommy

7:53

decided one night to go

7:55

and find a black man, to

7:58

kill that black man so that they

8:00

could get their spider web tattoos as

8:03

skinheads.

8:04

Craig tells them. They borrowed his mother's

8:07

car, a gray Chevy. Craig

8:10

drove, Tom was in the passenger seat.

8:13

They'd gotten their hands on a gun, a thirty

8:15

eight caliber Revolver, and they

8:17

started looking for a target.

8:19

All of this, by the way, and what I'm about to

8:21

tell you, is based on Scott and Terry's

8:24

recollections and the report

8:26

that they filed at the time, and also

8:28

from sworn testimony that Scott, Terry,

8:31

and Craig later provided. Anyway,

8:34

Initially, Craig and Tom drove through Wilmington,

8:37

Delaware, where they lived.

8:41

He said it was very busy. He said,

8:43

there were just so many people out and

8:45

there would be no way that they would be able to

8:47

shoot somebody and not have a witness around.

8:50

So they made the decision to leave Wilmington

8:53

and travel north.

8:55

They drove north on the Interstate until

8:57

they reached Philadelphia. Here,

8:59

they got off at the Broad Street exit.

9:02

By now it was late. Craig wasn't

9:04

sure exactly how late, but the

9:06

streets were mostly empty. Craig

9:09

said. At one point they stopped and stole

9:11

a license plate to put on his mom's

9:14

car as an added measure of protection,

9:17

just in case someone witnessed what they were

9:19

about to do. At

9:21

some point, they passed a large wall, and

9:23

eventually they turned onto a one way street.

9:27

Craig's driving, and they drive down a very dark

9:29

street, and Tommy is

9:31

in the passenger side, and he

9:34

tells Craig slowed down, slowed

9:36

down.

9:36

Slowed down, because up ahead they

9:38

saw a pedestrian, a lone black

9:41

man, as

9:43

Craig recounted it, the man turned

9:45

and started walking toward them.

9:48

Tommy pulled out a thirty eight caliber

9:50

revolver, leaned out

9:52

the window and shot

9:55

him and exclaimed,

9:58

I got him right between the eyes.

10:01

The way Craig remembered is the

10:03

guy hit the ground so hard that

10:08

he I had to be dead.

10:11

Craig said that even all these

10:13

years later, he still remembered the

10:15

sound of that thud as the man

10:17

fell onto the pavement.

10:27

And that was it.

10:29

These two high school kids, with their

10:31

gun and their mom's car sped

10:34

off into the night, back home to

10:36

Delaware. So

10:41

far, this entire investigation

10:43

had been based on a rumor, a

10:46

rumor that initially seemed like

10:48

it might be impossible to verify the

10:50

two teenagers drove into a nearby

10:53

city to murder a complete stranger

10:55

because of the color of his skin, and

10:58

that they'd commemorated this murder with

11:00

a tattoo. It

11:05

was the kind of story that you didn't want to believe

11:07

in, because if it were

11:09

true, what did that say about us

11:11

as human beings? About our capacity

11:14

for hate and cold bloodedness?

11:17

In a way, the veracity of this

11:19

rumor was about more than just one

11:21

murder. It seemed like a

11:23

test, a light meter that would

11:25

measure just how dark the depths of humanity

11:28

could be. It

11:30

all hinged on a single question, could

11:33

these kids really have done this? And

11:36

in a situation like this, you

11:38

almost have to hope, maybe even pray,

11:40

that the answer is no, because

11:42

then the world isn't so bad, right.

11:46

But if the answer is yes, they

11:48

really did this, well,

11:50

then the depths are darker

11:53

than most of us would care to admit. As

12:02

Craig recounted the details of the murder

12:04

in that FBI conference room, Scott

12:07

listened intently. If you

12:09

recall, Scott had trained to become a priest

12:12

back then, sometimes people would notice

12:14

his priest's collar and just start talking,

12:17

sharing their darkest secrets. So

12:20

Scott he was comfortable in this

12:22

role as the confessor. He knew

12:24

how to listen, how to watch, which

12:26

is exactly what he did as Craig

12:28

spoke.

12:30

And when when you watch somebody

12:32

tell the story,

12:35

you can tell that they are just reliving

12:39

it, that they were there. It was

12:42

just amazing to

12:44

watch, because that's all I'm doing, is watching

12:46

him.

12:48

Craig's confession raised so many questions

12:50

for Scott and Terry, like why

12:52

would Craig, the steadfast sidekick,

12:55

turn on his old friend now because

12:58

in the past Craig had been very

13:00

loyal, Like a few years back,

13:03

Craig had tried to protect Tom from the authorities

13:05

by storing some weapons for him, weapons

13:08

that Tom wasn't supposed to have. Craig

13:10

paid for this, did a few years in prison

13:12

in fact, so maybe he

13:15

was willing to talk now just to avoid

13:17

a repeat of that. Craig

13:19

got out of federal prison in nineteen ninety

13:21

nine. A few years later he

13:24

moved north to Vermont, to that house

13:26

in the mountains with the dogs and the

13:28

floodlights. Bottom line,

13:31

it seemed like Craig had made a decision to

13:33

escape his old life and maybe

13:35

to escape Tom too, I

13:38

should mention. We reached out to both

13:40

Craig and Tom for this story.

13:43

Craig declined an interview. We never

13:45

heard back from Tom, but

13:48

here's what we can say about Tom. He

13:50

had a long and well documented history

13:53

of violence. As a teenager,

13:55

he'd been convicted of reckless endangerment

13:58

after he shot a gun at a moving car

14:00

full of people. Police

14:02

records from the time confirmed that Tom

14:05

had an arsenal of weapons, including

14:07

a billy club, two blocks, black jacks,

14:10

two sets of brass knuckles, and a

14:12

mess of knives. To put

14:14

it plainly, Tom seemed like the kind of friend

14:16

that you might not want to anger by

14:19

turning on him.

14:20

We believed

14:24

that a

14:27

real danger existed. There

14:29

is a very real potential

14:32

of danger against Craig. People

14:35

will go to great lengths to

14:37

protect their their self

14:39

interests, but.

14:42

At this point there was no turning

14:44

back for Craig. More

14:47

after the break, Scott

15:04

and Terry now had a confession, which

15:07

under normal circumstances would be

15:09

a very big deal, potentially a

15:11

game changer, and in some

15:13

ways the confession was very promising.

15:16

Craig were called some details, like

15:18

the moment of the actual shooting vividly

15:21

in a way that might be very persuasive

15:23

for a jury. The problem

15:25

was the alleged murder took place more

15:28

than seventeen years prior, and

15:30

there was so much that Craig did not remember.

15:33

For instance, he couldn't tell the FEDS

15:35

where exactly this happened. He

15:37

couldn't provide the name of a street or

15:40

intersection or park, nor

15:42

could he tell them exactly when this happened,

15:45

could not offer a day, or a week or even

15:47

a month. Most vexing of all,

15:50

Craig had no idea who the victim was. And

15:53

this right here underscored

15:55

the central problem that Scott and Terry

15:57

had been facing from the very beginning. Simply

16:00

put, they didn't have a body.

16:04

They were trying to solve the murder of an unknown

16:06

man, and without knowing who

16:08

he was, they couldn't

16:10

do much of anything. But

16:13

Scott remained determined, we.

16:16

Have to do our job and we have

16:18

to find out who

16:21

did they kill. If if possible,

16:24

how are we going to do that? It then felt

16:27

like a mandate, like Okay,

16:30

we're we're in this.

16:33

This sounds awfully confident, But both

16:36

Scott and Terry told me that they felt on

16:38

some level like they were trying to find a needle

16:40

in a haystack. They both use that

16:43

exact phrase, which raises

16:45

the question, how do you find a needle

16:47

in a haystack? Well, in

16:49

theory, you start by sorting through all

16:52

the pieces of hay right. In other words,

16:54

you create a finite pool of possibilities.

16:59

So let's talk about the finite the things

17:01

Craig knew or claim to know with

17:03

some certainty. Craig knew the

17:05

murder took place sometime around the spring

17:07

of nineteen eighty nine. He remember this

17:10

in part because he recalled going to senior

17:12

prom not long after the murder took place.

17:16

So the agents had a year nineteen

17:19

eighty nine, and they had a city,

17:21

Philadelphia, And for whatever

17:23

it was worth, Craig had mentioned a one

17:26

way street and a dark colored wall.

17:29

According to police accounts, there were

17:31

four hundred and seventy three murders in

17:33

Philadelphia that year. So

17:35

in theory, one of those murder victims

17:38

was their nameless man. But

17:40

which one

17:44

turns out, our federal agents they

17:46

had an ace up their sleeve. Scott

17:48

knew someone, someone he believed could really

17:51

help them, a detective who worked

17:53

in the homicide unit of the Philadelphia

17:55

Police Department, a veteran investigator

17:58

named Leon Lubieski went

18:00

by Lubi for short. Scott

18:04

gave me a very vivid picture of

18:06

what Luby looked like.

18:09

Large physical stature, Like when you hear

18:11

a bear, you think of a

18:13

bear, and you know, scary

18:15

or cuddly. I mean, bear

18:18

has many different views

18:21

depending on who you ask, right, but

18:24

nobody will ever deny

18:26

the fact that a bear is big.

18:28

And you can't argue with Scott on that one.

18:32

When you saw him, you perked

18:34

up and you're like, oh, he's not somebody

18:37

to fool around with.

18:39

But apparently Luby also had

18:41

this other aspect.

18:43

He had the face of someone

18:46

who is just extremely caring.

18:50

You just looked at him, you knew immediately

18:53

this is somebody who will do anything to help

18:55

you. So he was a multifaceted bear,

18:58

multifaceted cuddly,

19:00

but he could turn grizzly if

19:03

he needed to. Scott's hope

19:05

was that his old friend Lubi, the multifaceted

19:08

bear, could now help them find

19:10

the victim.

19:21

Hello, Hey, is this Louby.

19:24

It's Louby Louby. This is

19:26

Jake, is this still a good time to talk to you? Yeah,

19:29

it's scrip time.

19:31

It took me a while to track Luby down.

19:33

He's retired now. When

19:35

we spoke, he remembered the case

19:37

right away.

19:39

They had these details, but

19:42

they didn't actually have a body to

19:44

go with it. How unusual is

19:46

that to have someone

19:48

say, hey, we we're

19:50

pretty certain there's a murder, we have a confession.

19:52

We just we got no body. That's

19:57

rather unusual.

19:59

Scott had passed along a short list of

20:01

facts to Luby to help him with his

20:03

task. They included the following

20:06

one the area where Craig remembered

20:08

drive, two the type of

20:10

weapon that was used, three the

20:13

nature of the wound, a single shot to

20:15

the head for the race of

20:17

the victim, and five a general

20:19

timeframe for when this happened, the

20:21

spring of nineteen eighty nine. How

20:25

optimistic were you that you were going to

20:27

be able to get them what

20:29

they needed to solve this.

20:33

I was actually

20:35

very optimistic because we keep pretty

20:37

good records on our dead bodies.

20:40

For Scott and Terry, this was a search

20:42

for a needle in a haystack. But Louby

20:45

was an insider who knew how things worked

20:47

in Philly and knew exactly

20:49

where to look. As far

20:51

as the records go. The authorities

20:54

believed this murder case would

20:56

have been marked as unsolved. It happened

20:58

back in nineteen eighty nine, and Luby

21:00

was getting this request seventeen years

21:03

later in the spring of two thousand

21:05

and six.

21:07

So what happens with a case when it goes up

21:09

solved, Well, it stays

21:11

with the assigned detective, and

21:14

that he gets a chance, he goes out and works

21:16

on it in between things. If

21:19

he doesn't, it just lays there, becomes

21:21

cold.

21:22

Basically, the file just sits there

21:24

in a file cabinet in the homicide

21:26

department.

21:27

Homicides just want one

21:30

big room, and there's file cabinets

21:32

all along the walls, and

21:34

in those file cabinets are the open cases.

21:38

And then they move from into storage.

21:40

Luby told me that typically after

21:42

a few years, the unsolved case files

21:45

are sent to the city's storage facility,

21:47

a big ten story building. The

21:50

homicide files are kept down in

21:52

the basement.

21:53

And when that happens, the assigned detective

21:55

he no longer it's

21:58

a bit of a problem for him to get to his case.

22:00

File now, so is

22:02

it kind of a little bit out of sight,

22:04

out of mind.

22:05

And basically once it goes

22:07

into storage, like the supervisor doesn't

22:10

bother you anymore to get anything done on it.

22:13

So it's like in limbo.

22:16

As far as I could tell, these cold cases

22:18

kept down in the basement, kind of like

22:20

the messages at the very bottom of your

22:22

inbox that slowly recede

22:24

from your consciousness and eventually

22:27

get moved into some folder that you'll

22:29

most likely never look at again. So

22:33

when Luby got the call from Scott and Terry,

22:36

he didn't have the actual case files from nineteen

22:38

eighty nine right at his fingertips. What

22:41

he had was a loosely finder

22:43

an index of all the murders from

22:45

the past. This index

22:48

was a collection of so called summary

22:50

sheets.

22:51

It's a single page. It's got the deceased

22:53

name, cause death. You

22:56

know what the outcome is, It's still open.

23:00

Thanks to that nature, Louby

23:03

searches through these summary sheets and

23:05

narrows the possibilities down to unsolve

23:07

murders that occurred around the spring

23:10

anywhere from January through May.

23:13

There were thirty seven of them. Then

23:15

he weeded out all the ones that didn't match

23:18

up with the details that Scott had given him.

23:21

In the end, Luby was left with

23:23

just one case, an unsolved

23:26

murder from April sixteenth, nineteen

23:28

eighty nine, of a thirty three year old

23:30

black man. He was

23:32

killed by a single thirty eight caliber

23:35

bullet to the head. This

23:38

happened in North Philadelphia on a

23:40

one way street, just one block away

23:43

from an imposing stone wall.

23:47

Louby made arrangements to get the entire

23:49

case file pulled out of storage

23:52

unearthed from that basement, and

23:54

then he reached back out to Scott

23:57

Louby facts the summary sheet directly

23:59

over to the FBI's offices in Wilmington,

24:02

Delaware. It was an efficient

24:04

bit of detective work. He'd done

24:06

all of this in roughly twenty four hours.

24:09

So you can imagine Scott's

24:12

reaction when, just a day

24:14

after getting Craig's confession of

24:16

facts arrives from Luby and

24:19

Scott. He just holds it

24:21

in his hands and stares

24:23

at it.

24:24

It was.

24:27

Unbelievable feeling

24:30

that this is it. Seeing the

24:32

name and

24:36

seeing the the specifics

24:40

of the crime, having

24:42

a location a street,

24:49

I don't even think I put it down. It was this

24:54

is it.

24:57

Wait, how could you be so certain?

24:58

I don't know. I just felt

25:01

like everything

25:04

that Craig told us

25:10

fit this very crime.

25:12

And so much of it did seem to fit,

25:15

including the time frame, the one

25:17

way street, the proximity of the

25:19

wall, the caliber of the bullet,

25:21

the single shot to the head. The

25:24

motive noted on the facts was one word

25:27

drugs. Objectively,

25:29

at this point you could not say it was a

25:31

slam dunk. There was no DNA

25:34

match. No one had found a murder

25:36

weapon and matched it to a bullet from

25:38

the scene of the crime. None of that. But

25:41

even so, Scott remembers

25:43

turning to his partner Terry, and

25:46

saying.

25:47

We have a name. We

25:49

have a victim. Terry,

25:52

I think this is This is why

25:54

we're here. We believe

25:56

this is this

25:59

is who we've been pursuing. That

26:01

was pretty

26:04

powerful to us.

26:06

At long last, they had a name. It

26:09

was right there on the facts plane

26:11

to see, printed out in smudgy

26:13

letters, Aron Would.

26:19

They strongly believed that he

26:21

was the victim. This was a huge

26:23

moment in their investigation, and

26:25

yet it could still amount to

26:27

nothing. Identifying a potential

26:30

victim did not guarantee a conviction

26:32

or even guarantee that there'd be a trial.

26:35

Now, the question was would

26:37

there be enough evidence to bring a case

26:39

and convince a jury that this

26:42

is what happened all those years ago.

26:46

Terry and I said, it may be that

26:48

this does not ever go to a court. There

26:50

may be nothing that we can do, or Philadelphia

26:53

can do, even with Craig's

26:56

cooperation, that this is

26:58

ever going to see the inside of a court,

27:00

and letting Craig know that

27:05

this all may be just to

27:09

give Iran

27:12

Wood's family some

27:16

sense of some

27:19

sense of.

27:23

Understanding, but

27:27

a kind of terrible understanding, right.

27:30

Yeah, definitely. I just believe having

27:33

no name, having

27:37

no understanding

27:43

of how your loved one's life came

27:45

to an end, who did it and for what purpose?

27:48

I think, can drive you

27:50

mad.

27:54

As investigators would soon learn, Iran

27:57

Wood had a family, including a mother

27:59

and two younger brothers. For

28:01

seventeen years, they'd been searching for answers

28:04

about how and why he died. The

28:07

last chapter of Iran's life was

28:09

like a story that stopped abruptly mid

28:12

page. No explanation, no

28:14

closure. There have been very little

28:17

to hold on to. But

28:19

all of that was about to change.

28:25

Next time on Deep Cover.

28:27

Everybody liked him.

28:29

That's why we was baffled, like,

28:32

Oh, somebody shot a run, shot

28:34

a run. You can't na no

28:37

way, And I guess that's what pleases

28:39

the most in the beginning, couldn't

28:42

figure it out.

From The Podcast

Deep Cover: The Nameless Man

Deep Cover is a show about people who lead double lives. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jake Halpern reveals webs of deception and dark underworlds, through interviews with federal agents and convicted criminals. Season four, The Nameless Man, tells the epic tale of two federal agents who investigate a rumor about a murder that supposedly took place 15 years prior.  It is also the story of a family searching for answers about why their brother was killed. These two storylines collide in a courtroom in Philadelphia, where murder, memory, and morality go on trial.     Season three, Never Seen Again, tells the story of two women living on opposite sides of the country, who went missing in the summer of 1999.  Seven years later, their stories collided when a small town detective got a tip and became convinced that if he could solve one mystery, he'd solve the other. Season two, Mob Land, is about a high-rolling lawyer who joins forces with the feds to try to bring down one of the most powerful criminal syndicates in the country. Season one, The Drug Wars, tells the story of an FBI agent who goes undercover with a biker gang, and follows a trail of clues that eventually leads to the US invasion of a foreign country.Deep Cover drops on Mondays.
