Dark Places Page #2

Synopsis: Libby Day is a lifeless woman who survived the massacre of her family in their farmhouse in the countryside of Kansas when she was eight. She's been living on donations and lectures ever since. Thirty years ago, the police believed that a satanic cult was responsible for the murder of her mother and two sisters, and her brother Ben was convicted with her testimony in court. Today, however, an acquaintance, Lyle Wirth, invites Libby to visit "The Kill Club", where amateurs investigate famous crimes, and she finds that they believe Ben is innocent. Libby needs money and, in return, accepts to revisit the slaughter of her family and comes up to the painful revelations and the ultimate truth.

the role players out, but...

too many guys are into that. Plus,

it's a good source of income for us.

- Us?

- The solvers.

We're a serious-minded organization.

Among our ranks are ex-cops, private

and insurance investigators, lawyers.

We solve crimes. It's what we do.

Lyle. Who's your young friend?

Bob Bredella, this is Libby Day.

Whose family was at the Kansas

farm house massacre.

If you had a cock you would be

in pieces in my garbage right now.

Parts that I didn't use for chili.

Get your f***ing hands off me,

you freak!

- I'm kidding. I'm sorry. I'm only kidding.

- You think that's funny? You fat f***!

That wouldn't have been

the first fight at Kill Club,

but it would've been the weirdest.

- You know what? I'm outta here.

- No, no, no. Libby, please.

I don't want to do this anymore.

No, no. I can understand

why you wouldn't like it so far.

Okay? But we're not all like that.

Look, just give me a chance.

Look at this in here.

A bunch of PI's who think

they've identified a serial killer.

They're about to catch some guy

who has been crossing states.

You know, Missouri, Kansas,

Oklahoma, to help kill people.

- What do you mean help?

- They call him the Angel of Debt.

They think he's like a Jack Kevorkian

for people with bad credit,

good life insurance and no way out.

You'll like our group.

It's serious, no costumes.

Hi, everyone. It's my honor

to present our special guest,

and the star of this year's Kill Club.

Libby Day.

Around 2:
00 a.m.

on October the 13th, 1985,

a person or persons killed

three members of the Day family

in their farm house in Kinnakee, Kansas.

The youngest child, Libby,

escaped the killer

through a window in her mother's room.

The oldest child, Benjamin,

never produced an alibi

and was extremely uncooperative

with the police.

Libby testified,

she saw Ben commit the murders.

Despite Libby's confused testimony,

and young age,

and despite a startling lack

of physical evidence,

Ben Day was convicted.

Based largely on rumors that he

was involved in Devil worship.

- You done?

- I think the general consensus

is that Runner Day, her father, did it.

I mean, he goes to Patty,

tries to bully her for money,

as usual gets nothing,

and he goes haywire.

- I mean, the guy was crazy, right?

- Right. I don't know...

Look, I didn't know him,

he left when I was, like, two.

- Where is he now?

- I don't know.

There was a blood stain

on Michelle's bed sheets.

Different blood type

than anyone in the family.

But since the sheets were from Goodwill,

prosecutor says that blood

could've come from anywhere.

Yeah, we were poor. A lot of our sh*t

came from Goodwill, okay?
