Into the Abyss Page #4

Synopsis: Into the abyss explores a triple murder which occurred in the small Texas City of Conroe in 2001. Michael Perry and Jason Burkett, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, murdered a middle-aged housewife; they then gunned down her stepson and his friend. The film features Conversations with the two inmates and those affected by their crime. Unlike many of the films that deal with crimes, into the abyss isn't concerned with figuring out exactly what happened, but rather serves as an examination of why people - and the state - kill.

to Ronny's truck stop,

and I saw all that stuff

on the car,

and I'm like,

"oh, that's not Adam's car.

He doesn't have all that stuff

on there."

- "Stuff" meaning?

- The stickers and the...

- "Gauge," "A.B."?

- Yeah, I saw all that stuff.

I was like,

"oh, that's not his car."

You know, and then I looked at

the license plate.

The car was riddled

with bullets,

and they had just

chased them down

and caught them at

the apartment complex,

and I was kind of

trailing behind them,

and they left to go

to the hospital,

and they told me...

I was like, "Please tell me,"

because Adam had been missing

now since Wednesday,

and it was now Monday,

and I said,

"Please tell me,

was Adam with them?"

And they said, "Adam got shot",

and they took him

to the hospital."

Now, Michael Perry

is still saying he's Adam.

He got out of jail.

He bonded out of jail.

- Perry just had his ID.

You believed...

- I believed he was alive.

- Your brother was safe,

only wounded,

because you were told

Adam was safe...

- Was shot.

- And shot but in hospital.

- And I... you know,

I was like...

Thank God.

So I started calling

the hospitals

trying to figure out

which hospital he was at,

and I described him,

and she's like...

I finally got a nurse

who would talk to me,

and she's like, "That's not

the kid that's here, ma'am."

- But you had hopes, I mean,

substantial hopes

that your brother Adam

was wounded but safe.

- Yes.

- Alive.

- Yeah.

- And all of a sudden...

- My world was ripped out

from underneath me.

Everyone was gone.

I called Lieutenant Davidson,

and he told me to come down

to the police station,

and I told him,

"I'm watching you on TV

right now.

Just tell me

if that's Adam."

And he said,

"I really would like you

to come down

to the station."

And I said, "Just tell me."

And he said,

"Yeah, it's Adam."

He said, "It's Adam,"

and my knees gave out,

and I never knew that your knees

really went weak, you know,

but that saying is true,

"Weak in the knees."

My knees went weak,

and I fell to the floor.

- This is Lindsey Lane.

This is where we were directed

on this road

by Michael Perry

in his confession

that we would find

two additional bodies

of Adam Stotler

and Jeremy Richardson.

We came down this road,

and then we split up.

We went to the end of the road,

and we actually walked

back this way

and discovered Adam's body.

They lured them into this area

by telling them that there was

a mutual friend of theirs

that had gotten hurt

while they were hunting.

This house obviously

was not here at the time.

You can see,

as this is coming out,

how it's coming around,

so it's gonna be

American film critic Roger Ebert said that Herzog "has never created a single film that is compromised, shameful, made for pragmatic reasons, or uninteresting. Even his failures are spectacular." He was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine in 2009. more…
