00:00I recognized him as soon as I saw him.
00:03The man having lunch with my wife Marcy was Craig Butler, her ex-boyfriend from college
00:0723 years ago.
00:09Once a member of the brotherhood, he will always remain a member of the brotherhood.
00:13I didn't like him back then and I still don't like him.
00:16She didn't mention she was having lunch with someone when I left for work this morning.
00:20I assumed it would be a typical work day for both of us.
00:24My name is John Terrell.
00:26Everyone calls me the copier specialist, although I don't repair them.
00:29I got this name many years ago when Xerox was the industry standard.
00:32Today, I take care of virtually any type of office equipment.
00:36I'm not thrilled with this job, but it paid off the mortgage and helped my two daughters
00:40graduate from college.
00:43Monday is my usual day in Harrisburg, but sometimes things change.
00:47I was urgently needed by the America Insurance Company in Allentown.
00:50I didn't need my usual service truck, so I took the company car.
00:54I finished faster than expected and decided to stop.
00:57I outbacked for a bite to eat.
00:59She didn't see me come in or leave.
01:01I found Marcy's yellow Mustang in the parking lot and waited until they left.
01:06The white company car was inconspicuous, so it was easy for me to follow them.
01:10It was a small ranch house.
01:12He parked his BMW in the garage, but Marcy parked in front of the house on the street.
01:16They got out of their cars and talked for a few minutes in front of the house.
01:20She was smiling and laughing.
01:23Occasionally she shook her head, saying no, but smiled as she did so.
01:26I parked halfway down the street, but I had a good view.
01:29Finally, she lightly kissed him on the cheek and walked back to her car.
01:33He waited a moment and then waved as he entered the front door.
01:37That's when everything went wrong.
01:40Marcy opened the door to her car but didn't get inside.
01:42She hesitated.
01:44She hesitated.
01:45She sighed, glancing back at the house.
01:47It seemed like a long time, but it was probably only a few seconds.
01:51I watched in fascination as she took off her wedding rings and placed them on the front
01:55seat console.
01:56She hesitated again, then removed her earrings.
02:00It turned out to be the diamond earrings I had given her for her last birthday.
02:04They also went on the console along with her mobile phone.
02:07She slowly walked to the front door and knocked.
02:10I wasn't good at confrontation, so I decided not to do anything foolish.
02:13I slowly approached the car, took everything off the central console, and then drove home
02:17to reading in less than an hour.
02:20I quit my job and emptied the bank account.
02:23Two hours later, I was in Frackville drinking beer with my brother Kevin.
02:27I left her rings, earrings, and phone on the kitchen table without a note or explanation.
02:32I was confident she would figure it out.
02:34I spent the next few days with Kevin and his wife trying to drink all the jangling in School
02:37Kids County.
02:39By Friday morning, I was in Carlisle at the Franklin Driving Institute.
02:43Three months later, I completed all the training and internship requirements and became a fully
02:47certified truck driver.
02:49I had no trouble getting a job with Franklin National's Refrigerated Division, which provided
02:53me with a guaranteed income and a brand new truck to drive.
02:57Shortly after I left, I called Claire, my eldest daughter.
03:01I explained what had happened and received a five-minute lecture on how insensitive and
03:06inattentive I was.
03:08Since then, I haven't been in touch with either of my daughters.
03:11I bought a new cell phone.
03:12I won't bore you with the incredible complexities of interstate trucking due to government regulations
03:17and company policies.
03:19It was truly oppressive and yet I endured.
03:21I was happy, though a bit lonely, over the next two years.
03:25I was able to save most of my salary.
03:28My needs and expenses were minimal.
03:30I stopped by to see my brother a few times but never stayed overnight.
03:33Marci never contacted my brother and he had no information about her status.
03:38It didn't take me long to figure out how to make the most of my time on the road.
03:42I participated in various programs, free showers, laundromats, and GS made life much easier.
03:49I met Norma Langford in Enid, Oklahoma.
03:52She was trying to buy gas with a malfunctioning credit card and cursing like a sailor.
03:56Being a gentleman, I asked if I could help and was promptly told to mind my own business
04:00and go to hell.
04:02Ten minutes later, I had just started to enjoy a chicken fillet sandwich when she plopped
04:06down at my table.
04:07Sorry, I acted like a jerk out there.
04:11Things aren't going well right now and it's unfair to take it out on you or anyone else.
04:15I just looked at her and nodded, I'm Norma.
04:18Norma Jean Langford.
04:19She extended her hand and I hesitantly shook it in return.
04:22John.
04:23A few minutes later she spoke again.
04:25You offered to help when we were outside, actually.
04:29I could use a little help.
04:31Is that offer still good?
04:32What do you need?
04:34Could you spare $2 for one of those microwave burritos?
04:37I slide a $10 bill across the table here.
04:40Go go to the chick fillet counter and get something decent.
04:42She grabbed it without hesitation and headed to the counter.
04:46Five minutes later, she returned with the tray and handed me back three bills and some
04:49change.
04:50It took her twice as long as it should have to eat.
04:53She was a chatter.
04:54I finished my lunch and sat watching her.
04:57It was, to say the least, a bit mesmerizing.
05:00Her voice wasn't unpleasant, but it was constant.
05:03She didn't say anything important, just chartered away.
05:06Oddly enough, it didn't annoy me.
05:07In fact, it was quite the opposite.
05:10The only conversation I'd had with any woman in the last three years was with waitresses.
05:15I found myself smiling at the absurd things, she said.
05:18When she finished, she took her tray with mine and cleared the table.
05:22So John, where are you headed?
05:23Provo.
05:24Oh good, can I come with you?
05:26What about your car?
05:28A quick glance showed it was still at the gas station.
05:30I don't think that's going to work.
05:32It won't work without gas.
05:34She didn't answer me.
05:36Finally, I got up and headed to my truck.
05:39Norma Jean followed me as if I had agreed to her request.
05:42I opened the passenger door and she hopped in.
05:44She had no clothes or personal belongings.
05:47I have no idea what happened to the abandoned car.
05:50No, I can't explain it.
05:53But later that same day we went to a mall and I bought her a few things, jeans, tops,
05:57underwear and comfortable shoes.
05:59It was nice to have someone to talk to.
06:01I mean to listen to Norma Jean and I never had sex and were never close.
06:06From the beginning it was a platonic relationship and nothing more.
06:10She told me her husband had died and didn't go into details.
06:13She had no children and her parents were retirees in Florida.
06:16I did tell her about my situation with Marcy and she seemed genuinely interested.
06:21Norma Jean slept while I drove.
06:23And while I slept, she did laundry and busied herself at truck stops.
06:26My fuel purchases covered her showers and occasional gym workouts as well as my own.
06:31It was a bit awkward at first, but it quickly settled into a routine.
06:35A few times Norma Jean asked me why I hadn't tried to have sex with her.
06:39I didn't have a good answer, so I simply told her I thought of her like a sister.
06:44She didn't push the issue.
06:47Everything was fine for about nine months.
06:49The only problem that ever arose was her categorical refusal to enter the state of Pennsylvania
06:53on two different occasions.
06:55I had to drop her off in Hagerstown and pick her up later.
06:58And then it all ended.
07:00I received a message from the Department of the Interior that seemed a bit ominous.
07:04I was to return as soon as possible to meet with the Pennsylvania State Police and a representative
07:09from the National Transportation Safety Board.
07:12Norma Jean was not happy.
07:15She didn't speak to me for the last few hours before I dropped her off at a place in Hagerstown.
07:20I promised to pick her up the next day.
07:23Mr. Tarbell, I'm Detective Narana from the Pennsylvania State Police, and this is Bill
07:27Fritz from the NTSB.
07:29As if I was supposed to know what that was, we were in one of the offices at the Franklin
07:33headquarters.
07:34I had the feeling it was a police interrogation.
07:37Mr. Tarbell, do you know this woman?
07:39Naran has lit a photo of Norma Jean across the table.
07:42Yes, that's Norma Jean.
07:44She's my partner.
07:45She's been with me for over nine months.
07:47Why do you ask what do you know about her?
07:49Only what she told me.
07:51She was married, but her husband died.
07:53She has no children and her parents live in Florida.
07:55She talks a lot, but doesn't give away much.
07:58If you know what I mean.
08:01Anything unusual you've noticed?
08:03Yes, I have.
08:04She doesn't like mayonnaise.
08:06She hates country and western music.
08:07She loves butter, pecan, ice cream.
08:09We mean personality.
08:11Wise.
08:12Bill Fritz tried to interject well.
08:14She refuses to enter the state of Pennsylvania.
08:17Whenever I have a job that requires me to go into or through Pennsylvania, she asks
08:21me to drop her off somewhere.
08:23I pick her up later.
08:25Is that what you mean exactly?
08:26Would one of you gentlemen care to explain what I'm doing here and what exactly you're
08:30trying to accomplish?
08:32Norma Jean is a good friend of mine, and I don't want to make a fool of her, especially
08:36when I don't know why.
08:38Bill Fritz leaned in closer and asked, where is she now?
08:43I don't know.
08:44I left her at Love's in Hagerstown.
08:46Fritz immediately left the room.
08:47Naranja brought me a cup of coffee.
08:49Norma Jean is suspected of murdering six people.
08:52Five of them were truck drivers.
08:55The first was her husband.
08:56We were puzzled because you're still alive.
08:59That's bullshit.
09:00It's a fact.
09:01Mr. Tarbell.
09:03It took some time to connect all the dots, but that's what happened.
09:07All six died right after having sex with Norma Jean.
09:10The FBI crime lab was able to gather and compare data from several 100 possible crime scenes.
09:16Six of them matched Norma.
09:17Jean was the common factor, but I'm still alive.
09:20Correct.
09:21And there haven't been any fatalities in the past nine months.
09:24Besides the fact that you never had sex with her, we don't know why she stopped killing.
09:28How did she kill them?
09:30It seems she gave them sleeping pills or some sedative and then put a plastic bag over their
09:34heads.
09:35She even left the bags with her fingerprints.
09:38All six of them.
09:39Yes, there might have been more than six, but that's all we know about at this point.
09:44Bill Fritz returned to the room.
09:45She's gone.
09:46She was caught on surveillance cameras earlier today, but she's not there now.
09:50How did you know she was with me?
09:52We spent 100 and 100 of hours reviewing surveillance footage from service centers.
09:57In almost every picture we found, you were there.
09:59Of course, it took some time to identify who you were.
10:02We were worried you might be involved with her.
10:04And now what you're clear, by the way, your wife is eagerly waiting to hear from you.
10:09How did you know that that was the first place we want to try to find you?
10:13We had no idea you had separated.
10:15Sorry if we messed up by the way she's living in Westchester with her parents.
10:19Now can I go?
10:21Yes.
10:22I need to deliver my load first.
10:24Would it be a bad idea for me to return to Hagerstown, possibly?
10:28But we can't stop you.
10:29We will be looking for her and you might lead us to her.
10:32If you know what I mean, are you saying that by looking for her, I might inadvertently
10:36expose her?
10:37That's correct.
10:39No, I didn't contact Marcy or either of my daughters.
10:43I was still a bit upset about her affair and my daughter's reactions.
10:46I didn't return to Hagerstown after leaving Pennsylvania.
10:49I wanted to, but I didn't want to risk it for my friend's sake.
10:54Three months later, Detective Neuron called me, John.
10:57I just wanted to let you know that she struck again.
11:00This time it was in Pennsylvania.
11:01Sorry to hear that.
11:02Was it another truck driver?
11:04No, this time it was an ordinary guy.
11:07His name was Craig Butler from Allentown.
11:11The toilet seat was up.
11:14I stood there looking at it, wondering if it meant what I thought it did.
11:19My wife Sally has a pet peeve about this.
11:21If I leave it like that, she'll have a fit, so I put this seat down.
11:26After I finished my business, I had just returned home from a three-day trip with a client from
11:30another city, two hours and a couple of beers on the plane, then another hour in traffic
11:35before I got home at 9 in the evening, after a quick hug and kiss with Sally.
11:40I headed straight to the bedroom bathroom and made my discovery.
11:44Sally is my second wife, some say my trophy wife.
11:48She's a beauty, standing at 5 feet 2 inches and built like a playboy model.
11:52She's 20 years younger than my 48 years and is a very cheerful and friendly person.
11:57I divorced my first wife because I found out she was cheating on me and probably my history
12:02naturally makes me suspicious.
12:04Also being a lawyer, I get to see some of the worst sides of people.
12:08I had no other reasons to suspect Sally of cheating our sex life was good, or at least
12:12I thought so, and I never noticed any changes in her attitude towards me.
12:16But as I said, being a lawyer.
12:19My firm is large and I am the managing partner, which means I make a lot of money.
12:23So Sally doesn't need to work.
12:25She just needs to look beautiful for me.
12:27We handle all kinds of legal work, with each partner specializing in a particular area.
12:32So I want to chat with our guy who deals with domestic issues, including divorce.
12:36Once burned.
12:37I had him draft a prenuptial agreement that was ironclad.
12:39Yes, I was quite well pro-protected.
12:43He agreed that if we could prove infidelity she was done for I really love this girl,
12:47but I'm not going to become a couple in my own home.
12:49So we set things in motion.
12:52We hire a private firm to conduct all sorts of investigations from insurance fraud to
12:56marital infidelity.
12:58And a few days later a report came in that Sally had met a young man for lunch, and they
13:02drove in her car to a local motel.
13:05For a few hours the detectives couldn't identify him or observe what happened in the motel
13:09room.
13:11A few days later there was a repeat performance at another restaurant and motel.
13:15The next week I had to visit a client in another city for two days.
13:19A report came in that the young man arrived at my house about an hour after I left and
13:22stayed the night.
13:24This time they got his identification from the car registration.
13:28It turned out that this guy was her high school sweetheart.
13:31I guess she never really grew up.
13:34In any case, my guys came over, hooked up recording devices to the phones, installed
13:38video recorders in all the rooms where the cheaters were likely to play, and even put
13:42a microphone in the headboard of the marital bed.
13:45Two weeks later, I left town for another two-day trip.
13:48When I returned, the investigators had plenty for me, all recorded with video and audio
13:53timestate and dated.
13:55He arrived in the evening, parked his car in my driveway, used his key, and just walked
13:59in through the front door.
14:01He didn't even have to ring the bell she had given him a key.
14:04She met him in the hallway, wearing a garter belt, thigh stockings, and high heels.
14:08Nothing else.
14:10She looked stunning, sexy, and so desirable.
14:13That's why I married her, but now it was for someone else.
14:16She threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.
14:20Her body pressed against his hands, cup her buttocks, and they stood like that for a few
14:25minutes, just tasting each other.
14:27She knelt down frantically, unbuckled his belt, pulled down his zipper, removed his
14:32pants and underwear, and then took him.
14:35I saw her cheeks swell, and she swallowed him whole.
14:38Now I knew why she felt so good in bed with me.
14:41She took his hand and led him to the living room where they kissed again.
14:45Soon she was sitting on the edge of the sofa, and he was on his knees before her, burying
14:49his face in her lap.
14:50He must have been very good as she exploded twice, and then he turned her around, bent
14:54her over the couch, and they continued.
14:57She was hot, and he was a stud.
14:59It was time for a break.
15:00While she poured martinis, he finished undressing.
15:03They sat naked, drinking and discussing their plans.
15:06They wanted to run away together but didn't have the money.
15:10I had given her several valuable pieces of jewelry worth over a million dollars, but
15:14they were in our bank safe and she couldn't access them without me.
15:17I, on the other hand, could get to the safe without her.
15:20Sally said I know how we can get a lot of money from my husband, how kidnapped me.
15:26What I mean, fake it.
15:28How in a few weeks we're going to a big wedding.
15:31He'll want me dressed to the nines with all my jewelry he likes to show me off during
15:34the wedding reception.
15:35I'll disappear with all my jewels.
15:37I'll get on a plane and be in Rio de Janeiro by morning.
15:40Meanwhile, you'll leave a ransom note demanding five million dollars for my safe return.
15:45Once you get the money, you can join me in Rio.
15:47The dumb fool bought into this idea and they returned to having sex.
15:52He took her in positions that I had never even thought of, let alone tried on the stairs
15:56and later in the bedroom.
15:57The sounds she made were incredible.
15:59Yes, yes, harder.
16:01I love you more.
16:03Make me your baby.
16:04This guy acted in ways I never could, but that didn't excuse her behavior and I was
16:07determined to make them pay for it.
16:10All her jewelry was customs made and I had copies of each piece made from fake metals
16:14and non-precious stones.
16:16I know how insurance works and didn't want to take any risks.
16:19When the time for the wedding came, I gave her the fake jewelry.
16:22She never noticed the difference well.
16:25She disappeared as planned and flew to Rio.
16:27I was happy to let her go as far as I knew she had almost no money with her, just some
16:31change for pocket expenses.
16:34I canceled all her credit cards and closed our joint bank accounts.
16:37I don't even know if she had enough money to check into a hotel.
16:41When he tried to collect the ransom, the cops were waiting for him.
16:44He got 5 years for attempted extortion.
16:47Serves the asshole right.
16:49He should have put the toilet seat down.
16:51Thank you for listening until the end.
16:53See you in the next episode of Cheating Secrets.
16:56Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
16:58Goodbye.
