Content warning. This episode contains graphic descriptions of murder. Last October, we visited a small house in a rural area of southern Indiana.

It is the sort of place where a half dozen or so chickens wander aimlessly through the yard and driveway. The squat blue house was flanked by a ramshackle chicken coop and a red shed spilling out lawnmower parts. Next door, a little boy romped around with a yapping puppy. It seemed quiet out there, a small home in the country. But if you believe Donald Forrester, a murderer lives here.

We told you about Forrester last week. He's the convicted rapist who told police he was one of the Burger Chef killers. According to him, the murders were set in motion when the leader of a Speedway Indiana drug ring sent a crew to the restaurant to punish manager Jane Freed for not paying a drug debt. The alleged leader of that ring, let's call him Gary, though that's not his real name,

lives in that blue house we mentioned, raising a clutch of chickens between physical therapy appointments. Gary was never arrested or even charged with these crimes. Some people say he got away with murder. Others insist he was a victim of one of Forrester's tall tales. It seemed to us that the best way to figure out the truth would be to come out here, knock on Gary's door, and ask him.

We couldn't quite see him inside on any of our visits, but it certainly looked like someone was home during the few times we knocked on his glass-paned door. Big plastic jugs, ones that sort of looked like the kind you slot into an office water cooler, sat on the floor in the front room. On our last call, which took place after nightfall, we saw the lights of a television flicker across the window furthest from the front door.

But Gary never answered our knocking. If we wanted to find out the truth about Forrester and his claims, we would have to look elsewhere. My name is Anya Kane. And I'm Kevin Greenlee. And we're The Murder Sheet. We'll be taking a multi-part look into the Burger Chef murders. We'll be presenting you with a new theory about what happened each week as part of our miniseries, You Never Can Forget.

On a weekly basis, you're going to hear from figures you've never heard from before. You're going to hear about facts that you never heard before. And hopefully, you'll walk away with a better understanding of the sheer complexity of this awful crime. We don't just rely on what we've been told or what we've read. We've worked this case ourselves. We decided to do this podcast so we can tell you what we've learned and even clear up a few misconceptions.

In this mini-series, we will give you the top theories about this crime. After we finish covering the Burger Chef case, the Murder Sheet will continue to investigate different restaurant-related homicides for the rest of Season 1. Some of the information we are sharing with you this week about the Marion County investigation of Donald Forrester comes from the reporting Dan Lizader did on the case back in the 80s for the Indianapolis Star.

If you are interested in this angle of the case, Lusader's articles are well worth reading. We're at the murder sheet, and this is You Never Can Forget the Confessions. Years ago, I went to a carnival, the 4-H fair in Columbus, Indiana, to be precise, and decided to spend a few dollars to try my luck at a game of chance. It was called Bowler Roller. The player has to try to roll a bowling ball up a slightly inclined ramp.

If you hurl the ball with too much force, it'll speed over a bump in the ramp and you lose. If you sling the ball too softly, it'll roll back down the incline towards you and you lose. I lost, but just barely. It seemed to me that if I tried again, I would surely do better and win the prize, a big stuffed animal in bragging rights. So I paid more money for another chance, and I lost again.

but I came so close to winning that I couldn't resist trying yet again. And so I did. Over and over again. I never stopped to think that the game was designed not just to make people lose, but to also make them think that they nearly beat it. This encouraged dupes like me to keep on playing, even though we were destined to lose. I ended up going through quite a bit of money that day, and, not surprisingly, came home empty-handed.

I remember that day often when I think about Donald Forrester. Last week, we told you about how Forrester came on the radar of Mel Wilsey of the Marion County Sheriff's Department around 1985. While serving a 95-year sentence for rape and kidnapping, Forrester told investigators that he had information on the Burger Chef murders.

Over time, Wilsey began to suspect that Forrester knew much more than he was saying, that he actually helped commit the murders. And more than once, Wilsey and his team thought they were close to proving Forrester's guilt, so close they couldn't possibly give up. We discussed one of those occasions last week, the time when law enforcement went through Forrester's septic tank, sifting for shell casings he claimed were recovered from the crime scene.

They found three. Two of them were .22s, which did not match the caliber of the murder weapons. The third may have been a .38, which was the correct caliber, but it was too degraded to match to any specific weapon. This was not a win, but it felt like it was close to one. The Marion County team never found anything to confirm the story Forrester told, but they never found anything to categorically disprove it either. So they kept working the case.

There was even another dig after the septic tank episode. Forrester told the police that bloody clothes worn by the killers were buried in the yard of a house in Speedway, Indiana. After he identified the home, law enforcement excavated the yard and found nothing. But the Marion County deputies told themselves that this failure didn't truly mean much, that it certainly didn't disprove his story.

Maybe after Forrester helped bury the bloody clothes, the other killers simply dug them up again and moved them elsewhere. So they kept working the case. But as time went on, some of the Marion County Sheriff's Department's methods began to seem less and less rigorous to other law enforcement agencies. Here's then-Marrion County Deputy Mel Wilsey. We want to extend a psychic request.

And he rode with us for a week. We'd have him in the back of the car, and he always told us he was getting his information from two little dead Indian boys. Apologies for the audio quality. When I interviewed Wilsey in his office at the Marion County Sheriff's Department a year ago, this podcast wasn't even an idea yet. Also, you heard that right.

As of last year, at least, Wilsey still hadn't retired from the Marion County Sheriff's Department. We've included full transcriptions of all our episodes at murdersheetpodcast.buzzsprout.com for any listeners having trouble following any audio. The Indiana State Police began to have increasingly serious concerns about the way Marion County was running the investigation.

Here's Tom Davidson of the state police, the man who busted Forrester on the rape charge. When law enforcement officers talk about feeding a suspect in this context, they mean someone has supplied the prisoner with bits of information he can use in order to make his statements appear to be more credible.

In some cases, this happens deliberately, but in others, it occurs because someone innocently messed up. Let's give an example of how this sort of thing can happen. Imagine that Anya is a detective interrogating me about a confession I've made in a murder case, trying to determine if I actually know the details of the crime. Did you shoot her? Yes. How many times? Once. Who shot her the second time?

She has now told me that the victim was shot twice, a detail I can possibly use to concoct a more credible confession. The transcripts of the Forrester interrogations are said to contain instances of this sort of thing. And there's more.

They were in a room and you would have the maps and the photographs of the crime scene. And the guy said, you never do that. The fact that Forrester knew details about where the crime happened and the nature of the wounds suffered by the victims is often cited as evidence that he was telling the truth. But it seems much less persuasive once you learn he spent time in a room where crime scene photos and maps were displayed.

These sorts of errors make it difficult to evaluate the veracity of any of Forrester's claims. Even when he supplied details that might otherwise have seemed compelling, a skeptical observer would have to wonder if those tidbits came from Forrester's memory or if they were just something that had been fed to him. We can reveal, for instance, that one of the people Forrester implicated in the murders was Jeff Reed.

the same man Alan Pruitt said he saw outside their restaurant on the night of the abduction. Was this independent confirmation of Reed's guilt, or was Forrester just parroting back information Marion County fed him? To law enforcement officers like Jim Kramer of the Indiana State Police, the answer was obvious. And he had bits and pieces of several of our main leads. That's why I say he was fed some information from him.

But if we believed what he told us, we'd have had to have a bus to put all the folks that were involved in this. The Indiana State Police grew more and more concerned with how Marion County handled the investigation, and tensions between the agencies rose. Don Lindsey of the ISP was working with the deputies, and it was not going well. The superintendent of the state police called me.

and said, hey, I know you're not day-to-day on this, but can you go? There was some friction between Don and these investigators. And he said, could you go over there and kind of smooth this out, make sure it doesn't get out of hand? And the friction really boiled down to the investigators were saying A, B, and C happened, and Don would tell them no.

I can tell you a simple thing. The key to Jane's car, they were alleging that someone had driven her car from the scene of the murder back to Speedway and dumped it. Well, her car key was in her pocket of the jacket she was wearing. So it appeared, it seemed to me, and it's just a hazard of being involved in these things, like they were trying to make the facts fit the scenario that they had decided what had occurred.

But despite all of the problems and all the different opinions and evaluations of Forrester and his stories, there was nothing that categorically disproved what he had to say. So they kept working the case. Forrester implicated another man to police, a man named Otto Deering. That's a name that we're publicly revealing for the first time on this show.

Deering had connections to the Outlaws, a motorcycle gang with a strong presence in Indianapolis at the time. He had previously been convicted of various weapons charges and even manslaughter. He seemed to be a plausible candidate to be involved in the Burger Chef murders. Forrester told the deputies he had direct personal knowledge of Deering's guilt. He said he witnessed this person stab Jane Freak,

But unbeknownst to him, we had found out the person he was talking to was sitting in federal prison in Minnesota the night the murder show happened. Since Deering was in prison, he clearly could not have been one of the killers. Police had finally caught Forrester in an out-and-out lie. The investigators confronted him, telling him he had made up the entire story. The only question was why.

Was it a piece of fiction designed to keep him from being sent to the notoriously rough Indiana State Prison at Michigan City? Or was he only lying about some details because he was actually one of the killers and wished to protect himself? He told them the truth was that he was one of the killers, and he gave them a long, detailed statement implicating himself. A couple of days later, he told them that on second thought, he had actually made the whole thing up.

Forrester's 1986 confession had sprung up and fallen apart in a matter of days. The Marion County prosecutor, Stephen Goldsmith, declined to bring Forrester or the men he named to trial. Meanwhile, Kramer saw Forrester one last time. And I gave him every opportunity to confess, to be a man and either tell us that he made all this up or that he was involved. And, uh,

I told him, I said, you don't have the intestinal fortitude to come forward with the information. And he didn't know what that meant. I told him I thought he was a coward. And immediately you could see him kind of swell up and said, I'll tell you one thing. If you send me back to prison, you'll never solve this case. He went back to prison. And because that was the only right thing to happen, that's where he belonged.

But that was not the end of the story. Let's take a quick break from the Murder She Presents You Never Can Forget to tell you about a podcast investigating yet another unforgettable crime.

The Orange Tree is a seven-part series about a 2005 homicide that happened near the University of Texas at Austin. The murder of 21-year-old Jennifer Cave, who was shot, dismembered, and left in a bathtub at her friend Colton Petoniak's apartment, continues to haunt the area to this day. Like the Burger Chef murders, this case features plenty of twists and turns, including Colton's flight to Mexico with another UT student, Laura Hall.

Both were later convicted in connection with the crime, although Colton has continued to appeal his verdict and claim innocence. The business student turned convicted murderer now says that he doesn't even remember much about the night Jennifer died. The Orange Tree is reported on and produced by Haley Butler and Tanu Thomas, who were both seniors at the University of Texas when they started this project.

Together, Haley and Tanu strive to piece together this tragic story in an in-depth podcast that features audio from courtroom scenes and interrogation rooms, prison phone calls, and exclusive interviews with both the perpetrators and the victim's family. You can binge all seven episodes of The Orange Tree today on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Let's talk about one sponsor we are really excited about, The Silver Linings Handbook with Jason Blair. If you've listened to our show, you've heard from Jason. He's always got excellent insights on true crime. Well, he's also got a wonderful weekly podcast that's all about fascinating conversations with inspiring people. The thing about Jason is that he is one of the most compassionate and interesting people we know, which definitely helps him out on the interviewing front.

Listening to The Silver Lining's handbook feels like sitting around a campfire with interesting storytellers. You get into topics like the criminal justice system, spirituality, and mental health.

And the big through line is it's all thoughtful and human-centric. We've so enjoyed getting to go on the Silver Linings Handbook to talk about true crime. Jason always makes us believe in the bright side of true crime, and I always end up endlessly quoting him afterwards. These talks are just so engaging, as well as being completely unscripted and authentic.

Jason is a person whose experiences with loss and failure have helped him rebuild and shape into the empathetic, kind person we know and love. And that is ultimately what the Silver Linings Handbook is all about. Growing together, understanding one another, and moving forward with greater compassion.

And now, back to the Murder Sheet.

A couple of years after being taken to the prison at Michigan City, Indiana, Forrester reached out to Wilsey once more. He used the phone to call me and wanted me to come up and see him. He said he wanted to tell everything and get everything off his chest. I couldn't believe it. I thought, why are you doing this now? So Maxie and I and another detective went up there with

A few years ago, I was part of a team that obtained a copy of the statement Forrester gave to police in 1989. We shared that material with a local podcaster who assured us he would keep it confidential, but he broke his word and included it on his podcast.

Thanks to my error in trusting this man, the Forrester statement is now effectively public, and so we include portions of it here, along with our analysis of it. The audio from the tapes is pretty quiet, so we apologize if anyone has trouble listening. Remember that you can follow along with our transcripts at murdersheetpodcast.buzzsprout.com. You mentioned that you wanted to admit your guilt in killing two of the

People at the Burger Chef. Which Burger Chef are you at, correctly? Burger Chef, the Speedway. Officer Rose. When was this? November 27, 1978. November what? 1978. What is this? Seeing people's faces after one person was about to get abducted and killed for not paying for the drugs that you got. How many of you went to the Burger Chef at the Speedway in Seattle? Two of them.

Two in a car and two in a blue van. Which were you riding in? Blue van. Can you tell me who was with you in the van? No. In this statement, for reasons of his own, Forrester refused to provide the names of his alleged accomplices, but he had given that information in his earlier interactions with Wilsey. Approximately, if you remember, what time did you go to the emergency at the end? Day or night? Nighttime. Nighttime. It was two. Shhh.

I didn't set it 30, I didn't set it 30. I had to make it that large in my own time because I was so high at the time. I'd have set it 10 years ago. The earliest the abductions could have occurred was around 11:15 p.m., so Forrester's estimate is off by several hours. What part did you play at the bird ship? What did you do? I would hustle them in the dam. There was another car that came later.

a smaller car, a red car. Were you armed at that? What were you armed with? A .25, a .38, and a .99. What went wrong at the first shift that you had to do what you had to do then? When the guy come out the back door for the trash, they had already set it up for the entire game site. Because she knew that we were there, because two of them already went in. And I guess he was just trying to play hero. That beat pretty bad, so there was no way just to

If the plan all along was to murder Jane, why do it at the restaurant when she had other people around her?

Couldn't they have ambushed her in the parking lot or on some other occasion where she was alone and therefore more vulnerable? And she owed you $15,000. She owed your group $15,000. Okay, start out $5,000. No, I wouldn't exactly be able to what was going to happen.

And so we got there, and we decided it was serious because she couldn't be dead. She had already gone up right down. And I know her brother, he didn't want to accept any of the dead. As far as he was concerned, he talked his way out of that. Whatever happened to the sisters, happened to the sisters. How long prior to that had this been planned? I knew there was going to be something that came through.

Yeah, originally I was just supposed to be here for somebody to look out. How did you know where you were supposed to go? We were sitting down on the road, along the side of the road. Everybody flashed their headlights, that's when we were supposed to come out. Everybody was waiting there until what, the black kid came out? Yeah, I was sitting with Jane Freed after they had been in like that and seeing how frank she was when they went in to get a coke for Sunday. When they went in and done that, seeing how frank she was, they knew we didn't come back out until she was locked in the doors.

And that's when we had to factorize and we pulled around the back of the place and we were sitting there in a van for some minutes before we found open. What was the situation like from the point of where you're in the truck and he opens the door? What happened then? He was surprised. He liked me aggressively, but he didn't have a chance. If you're incarcerated, you have to up some people that's not incarcerated because you don't have nothing else to do. So he got boxing teams and he joined and we got all kinds of stuff and

And guys out there don't know how to fold a left-handed hook. They don't know what a walking chair is or they don't even know what a spring one-two punch is. You have experience like that over people out there because they're working. They ain't got time to hang around with weights. They'll work out in the rain and stuff like that. The majority of the prisoners do, so they don't even get released. The majority of the time, they have to up so bad on somebody like a street fighter or whatever. You don't want to have nothing coming. You try to block the line. That's it. You can't.

Crime scene pictures of Mark Flemons, the African-American victim Forrester describes here,

do not show any evidence he suffered the sort of beating Forrester indicates. At the same time, he wasn't even in a van yet. I thought he was beat to death there. I thought he was already dead. What happened then? After crying and begging. Who was begging? They come to his building, that move. She begged him to just let her go home. Don't kill her, let her go home. Let her stay alive. Let her make a home. Did they have any idea why you were there?

I figured it did because their manager selling drugs out of that burger chef and knowing that one of the guys that was there that night has come in on numerous occasions and sometimes she'd take the break and go out to the car with him and stuff like that and pick it up and then come back and be selling it. I felt they knew what was going on. There's no way that somebody's going to be doing that. The rest of the marketer's not going to find out. What was the next thing that happened after this black person was loaded up?

And you said you went inside and you heard the kids begging, you know, they just wanted to go home and stuff. They were tied. They were put in there. They used some wire on one of them. I know because I see one of the guys had some wire. So one of his hands was bound with wire. Well, they put wire on all three of their hands. I don't know if I knew one of them was bound with wire because I don't know if they caught him. He got some wire and brought it back and gave it to one of them. What type of wire was it? I mean, you know, it wasn't as thick as a cone angle.

It is unclear why city dwellers like Forrester and his associates would have a ready supply of bailing wire in their vehicle. In any case, our understanding is that there were no marks or abrasions on the skin of the victims to indicate that they had been bound with bailing wire or anything else. And how did you do that?

All four of them, but then there was another car that came to it that was in my caravan with this Amstrad Red Rock. At one time, there was a green Pontiac there. I don't know whose it was. I seen it sitting there. I don't know if it was one of the workers or somebody else's. At one time, a green Pontiac was there, too.

Was Janie saying anything while this was being done? What she said? I asked her. I didn't ask her, but she asked one person that she felt had control of the whole situation to let her go and give it more time. What was the answer to that question? No. It was a smack.

She'd already been forewarned that when he came back she'd have some money in the haul of it. She was already forewarned. She's the one that was making problems all along. That's the reason why I'd seen her before even. She kept behind. She always had a story. I had walked into her house once as she was coming. Then I pulled up to the yard one time. She was talking to the guy outside by her car.

And I can't say what my daughter was supposed to figure out, but I've seen her twice before. Who did that work through her seeing men? One day she was crying. She was coming out the door and I was going in and she was crying. A few days later, her brother was over there. He was there. He jacked like a fuck if anyone saw him. He was trying to cover his ass.

There was something about a comedy. They was throwing this together, hers and his. And he's making sure, you know, he's clear of this and that. He's throwing it all on her. She's saying she'll get it. You said, you know, after you loaded everybody up, another car pulled in. What was their actual part in it? You know, what would they have to do? They just followed. It's like a pair of hands. It's like somebody else would get behind to get any license plate number or get in to where they might be able to see something's going on at a van.

I didn't know if they'd have a chance, something would go wrong, or something happened, you know. Or somebody might be able to see one of their faces or something, which they didn't look out like that. They just didn't even worry about that. But they were. Did anybody take any money from the murder sheriff? They did, I don't remember. I don't think anybody did. I know they went through all the shit, tore the whole place up. They might have stuck something in your empty cash register. If I hadn't been in that car, I probably know myself since then.

About $500 was stolen from the burger shop that night. Apparently, it was all given to Forrester in order to compensate him for his work.

What about the other people involved? How were they compensated? Anything happen to Jane Freed's car? You know what car she's got? I can't remember. I know it was a green car. It looked like a kind of green car to me. I was talking about it at nighttime.

Jane drove a white Vega. They drove the victims to a wooded area in Johnson County.

You will recall from last week that Wilsey had been impressed that Forrester had been able to direct them to the spot where the murders happened. But, in fact, the location of the murder site had been widely publicized by that time. In the weeks after the murders, photos of the area had been printed in newspapers and the names of neighbors were published.

The area was described in the sort of detail that would make it easy for a former resident like Forrester to find it. The Indianapolis Star, for instance, said it was on private property two miles west of Center Grove High School and one mile east of Indiana 37.

The paper reported the spot was adjacent to a private driveway in a hilly wooded area about a half mile south of County Road 700 north. In December 1978, the Franklin Daily Journal actually printed the last name of the property owners who discovered the bodies. Even Johnson County Deputy Paul Simons admitted in a 1993 news article that Forrester could have figured out the location of the murder by reading newspaper stories.

What happened when you got down there? They took James Reed out first. What was she saying at the time? She was begging for her life. I know James. She was begging for her life. What happened then? She had to part with her thing. I took two dim rolls after we got there. Yeah, I gave two dim rolls after we got there. When they were dragging them, I went on the other side. I took a leak on one side of the van. Okay, as you're going to the bathroom,

beside the van they also unloaded the rest of the kids too i'll put together what we're doing exactly what's going that's the one thing and that had not been discussed because nobody ever figured i had to take care of my own at worship nobody thought about that saying okay this is what you're doing we get four people doing this it was meant to get her and her alone just come up with nobody to get it without getting in they scared the first one going in there did you who killed jane freak do you know did you do it um

Two of the Burger Shove victims were shot in the back of the head. Neither of them were shot in the face. I stabbed one and I shot one. I shot about three shots. I stabbed one and the handle popped up on him.

uh, come loose. How many times did you stab? J3, if you remember. Or did you stab her once? I stabbed one just one time. What'd you stab her in? Low, down low. I just stabbed. One, she kicked her, kicked her, she kicked her legs because she was trying to, uh,

Jane was not stabbed down low or anywhere near her legs. She was stabbed twice, both times in the heart. Now, Forrester describes the location of victims Ruth Shelton and Danny Davis.

Actually, Danny and Ruth lay so close together, they were nearly touching. Forrester insisted that this was never intended to be a quadruple homicide.

and take them somewhere else. You know, that's a pretty big charge nowadays. You know, it's years out, especially after you've already harmed them. One guy's already been beat pretty bad. We looked at several years anyway, so you can't have anything to lose. Some of the charges, if you get committed, if you kill a person, you get less time. Wilsey shared this 1989 Forrester recording with the legal community in hopes that they would choose to pursue charges against Forrester.

And we had a meeting with Cole Smith, who was the prosecutor. They had Cook, who was probably going to be the next prosecutor here. Sheriff McAtee, who was the sheriff here at that time. Johnson County prosecutor. Johnson County Sheriff's Department. We took this video and played it for everybody. Okay. And they all felt that he was the guy.

The press accounts at this time don't quite line up with Wilsey's recollection. According to the Indianapolis News, Sheriff McAtee said that none of Forrester's story matched up with the physical evidence at the crime scene.

He said as far as he was concerned, the Forrester matter was closed for good. The Franklin Daily Journal quoted Detective Bill Smith of the state police as saying that Forrester was just lying again. So that's how it ended. Wilsey always said that Forrester never asked for anything in return for his stories. But the convicted rapist did also vow that he would only talk to investigators if he was taken to the Marion County Jail.

Forrester therefore bought himself a year and a half away from the state prison in Michigan City by dragging out his first confession. Forrester is rumored to have been the victim of sexual assaults, all incarcerated in prison. The longer he told stories that kept the interest of the Marion County Sheriff's Department, the longer he could stay in the much safer confines of the Marion County Jail.

In the run-up to his 1989 confession, sources tell us that Forrester's mental health was unraveling in Michigan City. He claimed to hear voices in his head. He claimed prison officials had implanted a device in his brain to control his thoughts. He was sent to the Westville Correctional Facility for several weeks until he agreed to take medication voluntarily. Forrester may have had a more calculated reason to lie.

After his final confession fell apart, the convict told investigators that he'd been attempting to gain attention so that his rape conviction could be overturned. For Forrester, the confessions had represented a temporary respite, or even a chance to escape prison, at least on some level. But after his 1989 confession fell apart, Forrester went on to spend the rest of his life in the prison at Michigan City.

In 2006, he testified against former Indiana State Trooper David Camp, who had been charged with murdering his family. Bizarrely, prosecutors and defense attorneys alike didn't seem to note who Forrester was and why he might have had a vendetta against the Indiana State Police, law enforcement, or just telling the truth in general.

That same year, months before he died of cancer, Forrester sent out a meandering letter to Gary, the man we mentioned in the opening. Forrester, a convicted rapist who had twice confessed and recanted about an unsolved homicide, wrote that he believed Gary had informed the police that he was the guy who killed those people at the Burger Chef.

He confessed to Gary that he'd tried to pin the case on him and apologized, writing, I have asked God to forgive for putting you through all that. Even after Forrester's double confession went nowhere, the investigation into the murders continued.

Next week, a special agent of the ATF makes a breakthrough. I thought, man, we've got the killer. And I remember standing in the marshal's office talking to him about charging him with murder in his juggler vein. I looked at him, about ready to jump out of his neck.
