1989 when a young woman called 911 saying she thought her boyfriend had been shot the problem was she was 3
miles away from the crime scene and she had trouble telling police how to get there something was not
right why would somebody say there's something happening here and nothing's [Music]
there all we had was that he had been shot and that he was in the arm gross I sent a deputy to pick her up
because we absolutely would never have found him we' have been there all night looking I am Diane Clark I was a patrol
sergeant in Bard County when we got there she wouldn't get out of the car she remained in the
vehicle out here and refused to walk down there you don't want to see him you don't want to know his condition that
there's something wrong with that it was a young white male uh laying on his side
with his hands bound behind his back the male victim was Chip Flyin he had a a bullet wound who Blood on the right side
of his chest we have a gun on the ground that we don't know who it belongs to he was conscious yeah speaking very
clearly just said get me out of here who shot you just take me home God get me out of here could you at least tell us
which way he went who did this to you he won't tell us this is so not typical it
defies explanation my name is Mark rxy I was a road Patrol Deputy for The Bard County Sheriff's Office all of a sudden

truck this truck when a black man with a gun hijacked and drove them to that remote Grove she alone managed to get
back into the truck and Escape driving those three miles to Chip's friend's home they needed someone to put that
murder on and Crosley green fit the bill it's an example of race being a substitute
for evidence I didn't he kill that young man that guy got screwed today 25 years
after Crosley green was sentenced to death for the murder of Chip Flynn I did not kill that young man there is
compelling new evidence that the wrong person may have been sent to prison and the Killer is still
free the first rule of homicide investigation is everybody who is at that scene is treated as a suspect until
they're eliminated that's not the way this happened
