A coincidence? Or one of their own...? | The Deck Podcast | Forensic Files

you want to know the thing that makes me the most convinced where that call to Johnny was made from remember it was
traced to a pay phone by the interstate and they were only able to do that because longdistance calls were recorded
by the phone providers back then and a call from DC to her parents down in South Carolina would have been long
distance I think he knew that and let me tell you why some say that he might have
picked that location because it was right where you could hop on the highway to leave the district you know hi tail
it out of town and sure maybe that's it but maybe it's deeper than that maybe it
was another message there's a place called Triple Nickel which was 555 4th Street
Northwest that was us attorney's office two blocks south of that was Police Headquarters two blocks north of that
was a carry out on a corner at Fourth and Massachusetts Avenue and then like a block block and a half north of that was
what we called Court parking where back at that time if you had a if you were an
officer there was a parking lot that you had a court P parking permit you put it
in your windshield you could park your car on this lot to go and attend court because next door to police headquarters
was the DC Superior Court which is where most of the trials curred so the phone call to the
Chism we don't know if it was intentionally made from that location but it was made between Court
parking us attorney's office and then just below that headquarters and court so it was a it was a location very well
known to any cop that did any work and ever had to go to the US attorney's court or
headquarters that carry out at that corner where the pay phones were also was a place where a lot of cops would
stop and get a couple coffee so was this a coincidence was it possible the killer
was one of their own
