Killers and Thieves — Confessions That Don’t Want to Stay Buried(Trailer)

Epistles Of Larry Hall

In the premiere episode of Killers and Thieves, we examine the case of Larry DeWayne Hall, a figure whose name appears repeatedly in American criminal investigations and whose claims have generated lasting controversy. Hall was convicted in federal court for the 1993 kidnapping of fifteen-year-old Jessica Roach. That conviction remains the only crime for which he has been legally found guilty. Beyond it lies a complex record of interviews, letters, statements, and subsequent retractions that have drawn the attention of law enforcement agencies across the Midwest over more than a decade. This episode traces Hall’s background in rural Indiana, his long-standing participation in Civil War reenactments, and the investigative context in which his statements emerged. Investigators noted similarities in geography and victim profiles across multiple unsolved cases, connections that were explored through interviews, correspondence, and behavioral assessments rather than formal charges. Central to the case are Hall’s written and verbal admissions—accounts he later withdrew or contradicted, sometimes after providing details authorities stated were not publicly known. The episode examines how investigators evaluated those statements, why they did not lead to additional prosecutions, and how an undercover FBI operation sought—but failed—to corroborate certain claims, including the locations of alleged burial sites. Rather than attempting to resolve what remains unresolved, Epistles of Larry Hall focuses on the documented record: evidence presented in court, investigative findings, conflicting statements, and the limits of the legal system when dealing with an individual whose credibility is deeply disputed. This episode does not speculate beyond available records. It distinguishes between proven facts, reported allegations, and unanswered questions.

Killers and Thieves is a true-crime podcast exploring cases where the truth refuses to settle—letters written from prison, admissions that unravel, and investigations shaped as much by words as by evidence. This trailer introduces the tone, the questions, and the kind of stories this series tells: not clean narratives, not easy villains, and not guaranteed answers.
