Into the Abyss Page #2

they were acquaintances

through, you know,

some mutual friends.

They weren't

really friends themselves,

but they... they were

acquaintances,

and what we were told was...

is that they came here

with the intention

of trying to get Adam Stotler

to allow them to stay the night

by telling them they didn't have

a place to stay,

and they were going to try

to get the keys to the car

and steal it.

That's what they were after,

was the red Camaro

that was in the garage.

Upon going to the door

and talking to the mother,

and she said that they were out,

the boys were out,

and so they left,

and that's when

their plan changed,

that they were just going to

kill her and take the car.

So they went back up

to the door,

and the garage was open,

and the door going into

the house was open.

Michael Perry,

by his own admission,

entered that garage door

and went into the laundry room

at the time that Jason Burkett

knocked on the front door.

And as their truck

was out here,

he told them

that the truck wouldn't start

and they needed to call someone

to come and assist them.

So she let him in the house

to use the telephone,

and while he was doing that,

Michael Perry stepped

out of the laundry room

and knocked on

the back garage door,

which made her come

and answer it,

and he stepped out from the

laundry room from behind her,

and that's when he shot her.

The actual garage door itself

was open

when our deputies

arrived on the scene.

The master bedroom,

which is in the back part

of the house

behind the garage over here,

they went in,

and they took the top bedding,

the blanket and the...

the top sheet,

and that's what they

wrapped her in.

They brought her out,

put her in the truck,

and they drove her out

to Crater Lake

to dispose of her body.

- And how does it happen?

Was it drugs?

- You know, I don't know

that there was ever

any direct evidence

as far as, you know,

drugs relating particularly

to this case.

I mean, honestly, it was just...

you know, they had a car.

You know, this lady owned a car

that they wanted,

so, you know, it was...

unfortunately, you know,

people died for a theft.

Other than it being dark,

this is pretty much

the way it was

that night

when we came out here.

You'll see all kinds of debris

and trash here, as I said.

This is... was pretty commonly

used for a dumping ground.

They've pulled lots of vehicles

out of... out of Crater Lake.

We've had, actually,

a few other bodies

that we've... that we've gotten

out of Crater Lake.

This is Crater Lake here.

This little area right here,

this is where the tire treads

in the dirt was actually here.

At the time that they first
