violence toughness begets a greater toughness we must meet the forces of hate with the power of
love our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate but to win friendship and understanding the ultimate weakness of
violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy instead of diminishing
evil it multiplies it through violence you may murder the liar but you cannot murder the LIE nor
nor establish the truth through violence you may murder the hater but you do not murder
hate in fact violence merely increases hate returning violence for violence multiplies
violence adding deeper Darkness to a night already devoid of stars Darkness cannot drive out Darkness
only light can do that hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that from the book Where Do We Go From

Longacre Lane is the True Crime Story of a still very much ongoing case crimes it
took place in Northern Ohio and the story starts with a series of events and horrific crimes that started in early
2001 now the name of the road Longacre Lane makes it sound like this road is a long Winding Road out somewhere in the
countryside but it is not Longacre Lane which is the location at the very center
of this week's case is not a very large Street at all Longacre Lane is in the near center of a really cool looking
neighborhood it's located in Holland Ohio which is best described as the greater Toledo area a suburb of Toledo
and for those of you outside of the great state of Ohio Toledo is in the northern part of our state right up
there by the old Michigan Ohio border Longacre Lane is a pretty average sized street with only nine houses it's a
unique looking neighborhood because there's everything here from average size homes in lots to very large homes
and properties some of the homes have swimming pools a couple have both a swimming pool and a tennis court and
there is one property that features a very large pond the nine houses on Long Acre Lane are some where in between the
two ends of this spectrum the homes are a little larger than average and the properties appear to be a little more
than an acre for each lot but these are not mcmansions but just very nice larger
homes and lots the property that we will be discussing this week is 2161 Long Acre Lane it's a home located
in the middle of the street surrounded by other homes on all sides the two individuals that are at the center of
this case are Johnny Clark and Lisa strob yeah we're going to be talking a lot about Johnny Clark and Lisa strob
Johnny Clark and his mother and father are M and John Clark and we are also going to be
talking about Johnny Clark's girlfriend Lisa strob and her parents Jeff and Mary
Beth strob so let's start with Johnny I've always really liked the name Johnny but his given name is John S
Clark but almost always known as Johnny now back in 2011 where we pick up this story Johnny is 21 years old Johnny was
always a popular guy he had a lot of friends Johnny's Mother m characterizes her son as an Unapologetic mama's boy
and Johnny was proud of that title The Clark family was very close his mother M says between her and her husband they
would regularly talk to their son about a dozen or so times a day he is the oldest of their
children Johnny had recently enrolled in barber school to pursue a dream of being
a small business owner now remember he is an adult at this time 21 years of age and he frequently lived with either his
folks or his girlfriend Lisa's parents Johnny was saving money for school and some words of wisdom to the younger
listeners out there if Mom and Dad don't say you got to leave then stay but of course don't be afraid to buy them
dinner once in a while or pay the internet bill so Johnny is enrolled to go to the school and saving money to pay
for the school so in January of 20 Johnny is living with his girlfriend Lisa strob at Lisa's parents place on
Longacre Lane in Holland Ohio Lisa an strob is a kind and this she's kind of this funloving maybe a little goofy even
at times personality she is the outdoorsy type she's an animal lover and photography is
a longtime hobby of hers the straw family is very close as well Lisa enjoyed hanging out with her sisters
they were popular and the stob sisters would often go to parties together Lisa was the youngest in this family in fact
it's at one of those parties with her sisters that Lisa in fact meets Johnny Clark the two of them eventually start
dating and become an official couple in 2009 then in late 2010 Johnny and Lisa take the relationship to the Next Level
and they decide to live together so Johnny moved in at Lisa's parents' home so in January of 2011 where we pick up
this story Lisa is 20 years old and she's working at a local TGI Friday's restaurant as a server she has her
future mapped out as well wanting to be a nurse she was all set to begin classes
as a nursing student there's a lot of moving pieces and parts to this case so make sure you pay attention let's dive
into the timeline yeah let's go through the day in question here Captain this is
Sunday January 30th 2011 we have Johnny Clark and his mother M who as said were close so they're in
constant contact with one another touching base with each other daily and multiple times throughout each
day this day would be no different we'll start our timeline at approximately 8:00 p.m. that night this
is when M the mother calls her son and it's not for the first time that day now while sometimes the constant checking in
from Mom would annoy the young man Johnny did not dare to not pick up Mom's calls you pick up Mom's call so Johnny
slightly annoyed by another phone call from mom picks up his cell phone and they have a brief convers
and then at some point she ask if he's okay and he says in a sarcastic manner jokingly yes Mom I'm still alive and she
says you know don't say that don't joke around like that m is just checking in with her son who as we said is staying
at Lisa's parents house Johnny tells his mom that his plans his current plans for
the evening are that he's going to be watching the Pro Bowl or is already out a friend's house watching the Pro Bowl
the NFL Pro Bowl on TV and that he would later be picking up his girlfriend from
her work and that they were going to stay in that night and just kind of chill out so let's be perfectly clear
here this is what he tells mom he's 21 so we cannot say with 100% certainty that this is what he actually intended
to do that night he's also considered considers himself a a mama's boy so he he might alter the the stories he tells
to his mom for her protection there's been multiple sources out there that have said that Johnny wouldn't lie to
his mom and I have no reason not to believe them but again we we don't know everything 100% we can only report
it as what our findings were so he tells mom that he is at a friend's house and there are three other persons there with
him he he names them on the phone with Mom and says we're watching the Pro Bowl on TV and then when Lisa gets off from
work when her shift ends at TGI Fridays I'm going to go pick her up we're going back to her house and we're just going
to hang out now there is something that is key here captain and we can get into that
later we can get into this later but I do not think that this is p ly coincidence but the stobs Lisa's parents
Jeff and Mary stob are out of town this weekend the two are off on a Caribbean cruise celebrating their 25th wedding
anniversary so that is important to the story as well so now this will take us to 1000 p.m. approximately Saturday
January 30th 2011 on our timeline at 10 p.m. approximately Johnny picks up his girlfriend Lisa stro she's working that
night at TGI Fridays in nearby Toledo her shift ends at approximately 10: p.m. he picks her up afterward and there are
three major routes that one could take from the Friday's restaurant to the stob house and this is a short
drive 8 to 11 minutes depending on Route so the couple head back to Lisa's parents house on Long Acre Lane where
they both are staying and so just a little after 10:30 Johnny calls a friend during this call Johnny mentions that
one of his other friends a guy by the name of Anthony Watson who also goes by Tony or tone is supposed to be stopping
by the stob house sometime that night now during another phone this is where things get a little wonky in our
timeline so he's either on the phone with this same friend having that conversation or there's another call
that he's on but what we do know that happens is Johnny shortly after this gets an incoming call on his cell
phone so Johnny clicks over to the incoming call the caller is a friend or someone who is always being listed as a
friend of both Johnny and Lisa this person's name is Tiffany Williams Tiffany Williams is a couple of years
older than that of Johnny and Lisa so she's calling Johnny and according to what Tiffany Williams says she's calling
Johnny to firm up plans that the two had made earlier the original plan was that
Johnny and Lisa would leave the St home at some point late that night go pick up
Tiffany and this other friend Zack burette and sometimes Zack a lot of these people in our story have nicknames
right and we're going to see that that will add confusion to the investigation now Zack burette his nickname doesn't
add much confusion to the investigation because his real name is included in that nickname and you're going to like
this one Captain his nickname is fat Zack oh so that either means he's a larger person or sometimes you get a
really thin person that ends up with the fat fat Zack name key thing though is this is Zack berat now despite the fact
that they are strictly instructed not to have parties or have people over at the
st's home especially in their absence the plan was according to Tiffany Williams that the four of them after
Johnny and Lisa picked them up would return to the St home to shoot some po yeah and again the definition of party
depends on who you're talking to everybody says we're just going to be hanging out shooting some pool and from
my understanding I've viewed the layout of the stob home in great detail they do
have a very nice billiard area in the basement of this home Tiffany was calling at this time to
let them know that she decided that she needed to run a few errands first so she's kind of pushing back the start
time for this hangout session at the stob house and she wanted to tell Johnny that we're going to run some errands and
then we will be ready to go around midnight however Tiffany says she never got to explain any of that information
or tell Johnny why she was calling in the first place because when Johnny clicks over and picks up her
call instead of greeting her she heard Johnny and most of the time the way this is
described she says that she heard Johnny shout in a very angry tone bro what are
you doing who are you what do you want so it sounds like there's an intruder in the house something's going
on on the other end according to Tiffany Williams right and she says that he did
repeat some of these lines multiple times as if speaking to someone in person and not Tiffany on the phone
obviously but then Johnny and a much more calm manner then tells Tiffany that he will call her back and I believe
Tiffany Williams says that his exact words or something similar would be Tiff I'll call you
back he doesn't he never calls Tiffany back now let's go to Monday January 31st 2011 we're already pretty late in the
night on the 30th so now I want to be very clear here we say that we flipped over to Sunday on our timeline but we
are talking about very early Sunday morning in the small hours if you will Tiffany Williams is now concerned that
her friends Johnny and Lisa has not called back she completed her errands and now she's more
focused on the idea that Johnny Lisa her and Zach would be hanging out late that
night shooting pool at Lisa's parents' home and here it is now a little after midnight this is right around the time
that she wanted to hang out and she's not heard from Johnny in fact she says that she's tried to reach out to Johnny
she's tried to get in communication with Lisa and that Zach is doing the same thing
periodically sometime after that call was received Tiffany calls Johnny Johnny picks up the phone it sounds like he's
talking to possibly like an intruder or somebody in person and then tells Tiffany that he'll
call her back correct so this is a very short call now I I'm glad you are honing
in on this because this is a huge part of this case and what this could mean for the events that are to come and who
may be responsible for what in this case well like you said there's a lot of moving pieces so my question for you is
at this time that Johnny gets this phone call is Lisa present with him at the time so in the home at this time it
would be Johnny Lisa and then there's a there's a puppy dog there as well and from every Source out there from all of
the information in the case this should they should be the this should be the only presence in the home at that time
Johnny Lisa little dog right now I'm glad you're honing in on this call not just because of its significance to the
case but also let's focus in on this for just a second because one thing that is not
in dispute this is proven by phone records Tiffany Williams 100% without a doubt her cell phone calls Johnny
Clark's cell phone at 10:41 p.m. January 30th 2011 that is there is no doubt about that that happened right
what I think we need to speculate on later and make mental note of now in our timeline is what was
said on that on that phone call because unfortunately Johnny will not be around to tell us his version of that
conversation all we will have is Tiffany Williams version of that conversation so we know that a short
call took place from Tiffany Williams phone at 10:41 p.m. that night and Johnny Clark's cell phone picked it up
they were on their phones communicated together for several seconds maybe even a minute it's a very short
call and then according to Tiffany Williams Johnny says I'll call you back but never does and we've already covered
that Tiffany Williams and her friend I'm a little uncertain of their relationship
this Zack barquette because he's a little bit younger than than the rest of them so Tiffany is about 24 at this time
Johnny is 21 Lisa is 20 and from my understanding captaining Zack may be as young as
17 I'm not able to fully verify that but he's younger I do know 100% certain he's
younger than Johnny as said Tiffany Williams did try to get in contact with Johnny and and Lisa periodically leading
up to this point in our timeline which is 12:30 a.m. Zach did so as well now at 12:30
a.m. this is when Tiffany becomes so concerned that she and Zach drive over to Lisa str's home and again just to be
clear they're supposed to get picked up by Johnny correct so they are so concerned by what she heard on the phone
and the fact that they're not answering they're not coming to pick them up that they make arrangements and and they
actually travel over to Lisa's house and everything out there suggests that they
would have had to borrow a vehicle to do so Zach doesn't have a car and neither does Tiffany at this
time so they go over to the home and according to Tiffany they ring the doorbell knock on the door front door
nice neighborhood again that's what's weird about this neighborhood I I would encourage everyone to look it up on
Google Maps or on Apple Maps it's a really interesting neighborhood because you have very average size homes but you
also have very large homes and then some that are somewhere in between and this home is a very nice home and it's on a
larger lot and so she's ringing the doorbell knocking on the door she says that she
peers inside the the the windows trying to look into the windows to see what's going
on and here's where things get a little more wonky right we have we have some questions in our timeline but we're also
going to have some questions with individual statements because they gave more than one statement and this is
coming from multiple sources and so I want to be very clear here some of the sources site that
Tiffany Williams says that there was no answer at the door she tried a couple times and so her and Zach left other
sources say that she saw and noticed that there were lights on in the home and this caused her even greater
concern because of some kind of rule that she was aware of in the home that you you know the stobs have this rule
that you always close the door behind you always turn off the light behind you so she was concerned that well they're
here but nobody's answering the door for whatever reason we're supposed to be friends right and again it's not like
she's overly concerned for no reason she hears what she believes is a confrontation on the phone when she
called Johnny correct but let's keep in mind that's about two hours earlier right so she yes she's concerned she
says but let's factor in she doesn't seem to be overly concerned to the point that she allows 2 hours to elapse before
she goes to physically check on her friends right now the third version from other
sources and I'm not this is not yours truly the crispy Colonel telling you that she gave three different statements
I'm telling you that these are different words that are coming from different sources the third
version is that when she looked inside the home that she that the home appeared to have
been ransacked and this caused Great concern of course it should cause great concern
for anyone if they witness anything like this the pair then exits the property now we are a little after or about 1:00
a.m. on our timeline at this point she is going to call her friend Sharita crumby she calls Sharita to tell her
what has happened her version of the events crumby then calls Johnny's Mother m to alert her that no one is
able to reach Johnny and that now we got a handful of people that are concerned and on top of that Tiffany is relayed to
Sharita look when I spoke to him at 10:41 there was this weird business going on he picked up it sound like
there was some kind of commotion some kind of confrontation I'm not really sure what it was but sounds like he was
getting into it with somebody and of course m is going to be extremely concerned she she loves her
son and as said they were very close and she's a bit of a helicopter Mom right always checking in on the kids well
let's be clear though too it's not just this confrontation call it's he's not answering the phone now and then when we
go over to the house we don't see signs of Johnny or Lisa so much more to get to

onward and upward cheers to you Colonel onward and upward cheers to the people in the back now as we said we have
Johnny's parents who are now been alerted that that friends are concerned about Johnny and they're concerned about
his girlfriend Lisa no one's able to get a hold of them so we have M who's going
to to begin calling her son's phone texting trying to get a hold of him and Father John is doing the same thing
however Johnny's not responding to Mom's calls or texts and what did we say earlier Johnny always answers mom's
calls and you also have to be a little more concerned because it's getting later and later it's in the middle of
the night right and these parents have been woke up in the middle of the night by to be honest with you it
sounds to me like they don't know they know Sharita but they don't know where I I'm I'm not 100% on how well they know
this individual because Sharita is more of Johnny's peer than my tase well she's
been given the task to contact the parents and so if if I'm Johnny's father I'm very concerned because somebody I
don't really know that well is contacted me going hey look we can't get a hold of
your son yeah she she knows them well enough to have their phone numbers um the the thing that we should mention
here too around the same time that Tiffany calls Sharita we have Zach who's with Tiffany there's no doubt about that
Zach's with Tiffany and he has attempted to reach out to Johnny's like lifetime lifelong best
friend who you know some of us are lucky enough to when we are best friends with
somebody that we know their families very well as as well right right they become almost second parents correct and
so Johnny's best friend would have had the ability to get in contact with the parents as well yeah and if you're his
parents you're also more concerned too because you're not in the same town right yeah they're not very far away um
I want to be clear about something here that they are they are in the suburb of Toledo
and so they they're not very far from the st's home because they all live in this suburb of Toledo which is not a
very big area um we're talking about I think 1200 people in this suburb um don't quote me
on that Captain I it's well it's on record now so so yep you can you can hold me put it on my permanent record
yeah uh so strike strike 98 mom has decided a couple things are going on here yeah Tiffany says look I can I'll
come and get you guys and take you over to the stob house so she comes over she grabs Johnny's Father John Johnny John
hops in the car rides over and because M can't leave remember Johnny's not their
only child and they got a couple of people in the house and so M's thinking well he'll pick up the phone eventually
Johnny will pick up the phone eventually it's just mising and everything be fine
well that doesn't and whens to the house with Tiffany he's now on the phone with
his wife saying look I think we got to call the cops so M then is in the process of trying to do
a couple things she's still trying to get a hold of her son she's trying to get the police on the line to request a
welfare check for her son and his girl friend and she's also in the process of trying to get over to the property
herself so let's take a listen to the first 911 call from Johnny's mother hello too 911 ma'am my heart is beating
out of my chest I just got a call from one of my son's friends okay her phone number I have it right here she just

we have M begging for emergency services to to send out the police to the stob home for
a welfare check on her son and her son's girlfriend Lisa she's calling from her home and as you hear her husband's in
route with Tiffany Williams to the stob home and poor M has this heart condition
and now she's up at the middle of the night frantically worried about her son one thing that I want to point out
here we were talking about different sources reporting what Tiffany's report uh was when she arrived
at the St home without any of Johnny's parents right she is there by her own words with Zack
they go there because they are worried about their friends we had the different sources some saying that she knocks on
the door they tried the door a few times nobody answers they leave other sources
say that they see lights on and this was of a concern to Tiffany and that's why she alerted the friends the other
sources say that she saw that the home was ransacked looked through the windows could see that something had taken place
maybe a struggle or a robbery or something of that nature that caused her enough concern to track
down Johnny's parents and get them involved that night well because they have options at that moment do we keep
ringing the doorbell and possibly run into to the individuals that did this rans sacking or do we
keep trying to find a way into to enter this house and I think they did the smart thing by going let's try to
contact but I want to point out a very key part of that 911 call we have those different sources saying different
things different observations were made by Tiffany Williams when she arrives without Johnny's parents right we have
confirmation that she says ransacking because at 1:21 a.m. M who's not been to the property yet correct her husband's
not been to the property yet correct he's not on the phone with 911 m is at her own home she is reporting 2911 what
was told to her and her husband by Tiffany Williams who sparked and ignited this
whole thing to get them involved and bring one of them to the scene so ran sacking regardless of what
the sources were saying this 911 call at 1:21 a.m. that night confirms that Tiffany Williams told them she witnessed
Saul with her own two eyeballs Through the Windows of the stob home that ransacking or burglary or robbery
something of that nature has taken place now unfortunately after this 911 call m
still concerned still hasn't heard from her son she's unable to reach her son Johnny she again calls police in
emergency services at 2:27 a.m. um some sources report that it is 2:07 a.m. but still roughly what an hour later I've I
have spoke to people very close to the case and they are confirming that the correct time is 27 207 a.m. so the early
ier time that's been reported in the papers and on the news she is at this time requesting another welfare check or
for at least police to come back to the scene and we have that call as well office listen ma'am I am a
concerned mother my son was at 2161 Long Acre Lane with his girlfriend house sitting Lisa stra lives there cuz her
parents went to Puerto Rico 2 days ago I get a phone call about a half an hour hour ago from his friend Sharita that
some girl named Tiffany called her saying that Johnny and Lisa were supposed to pick her up at 11:00 and she
was on the phone with Johnny my son when he was walking out of this house his girlfriend's house with his girlfriend
to come get her and supposedly she heard a guy in the background screaming at my
son and my son saying what do you want who are you get away from us and what have you okay four cop cars were already
out at this residents they're not there and her car is in the driveway I want to
know where my son's at okay I want to know where my son and his girlfriend are I want to know if they got abducted by
whoever try to assault them and Rob them and it's pretty funny that this girl named Tiffany which is there right now
