37.172 - 44.595 Court Questioner

Raise your right hole, please. Do you swear or affirm? Do you tell us who you are?

0

45.195 - 46.295 Collier Landry Boyle

I'm Collier Landry Boyle.

0

46.315 - 47.956 Court Questioner

Can you tell us how old you are now?

0

48.416 - 49.336 Collier Landry Boyle

I am 12 years old.

51.017 - 63.241 Steve Fishman, Narrator

It's 1990, and we're in a courtroom in Mansfield, Ohio. The prosecution's star witness has just taken the stand. He's about to describe something that happened one fateful night a few months ago.

64.975 - 71.299 Court Questioner

You awoke at 3 to 3.15 a.m., I believe was your time. Okay. And what awoke you?

72.22 - 75.322 Collier Landry Boyle

I heard the two bangs and heard the scream.

75.342 - 76.523 Court Questioner

Okay.

Chapter 2: Who is Collier Landry Boyle and what did he witness?

618.808 - 641.484 Steve Fishman, Narrator

I said, hmm. Hmm, that's Dave's characteristically restrained reaction to any new suspicion. So Dave, now suspicious, decided he'd start looking into Dr. Jack Boyle. As it turned out, Dr. Boyle's patients really loved him. They described him as funny, intelligent, gregarious, caring.

642.204 - 654.225 Steve Fishman, Narrator

The kind of doctor who'd go above and beyond, who'd make house calls and stay up all night at the bedside of a sick patient. Even at the police department, Dave discovered his fellow cops were fans.

0

655.346 - 670.218 Lieutenant Dave Messmore

Some of the guys that worked for me were ex-Marines. So they said, yeah, we know about Dr. Boyle. He's an ex-Navy doctor, retired Navy doctor, flew jets over in Vietnam. And he's just a great guy.

671.701 - 686.768 Steve Fishman, Narrator

Plus, one of Jack's friends said he was devastated that Noreen left. She recalled Jack sobbing on the phone to her. She's gone. She's gone. And then Dave learned something that made Noreen's disappearance seem understandable.

687.708 - 693.731 Lieutenant Dave Messmore

Apparently there was some talk of divorce, but I didn't know exactly what the circumstances were.

696.86 - 720.881 Steve Fishman, Narrator

In fact, Noreen had filed for divorce less than two months before. And it was contentious. There were fancy cars to fight over, a lot of money in the bank, child support, alimony, joint credit cards. Maybe Dave's original hunch had been right. In the midst of a rough separation, with both parties sleeping under the same roof, Noreen just needed a few days to herself.

732.512 - 732.712 Lieutenant Dave Messmore

Hmm.

733.593 - 753.368 Steve Fishman, Narrator

And why did her son insist that something was wrong? Dave decided it was time to get more details from his prime source, the one inside the Boyle household. He phoned the private school that Collier attended and requested that the principal arrange a meeting. This is just what Collier had been hoping for.

754.42 - 762.103 Older Collier Landry Boyle

I knew it was my chance right there to just get it all out, right? I don't know if I'm ever going to get this opportunity again.
