can reach up and touch them they're so vibrant but it's like pitch black out there for more than 16 years 48 Hours
has investigated what many say is a case of Injustice that case began in the early morning hours of April April 4th
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 there all we had was that he had been
shot and that he was in the orange gross I sent a deputy to pick her up because we absolutely would never have found him
we'd 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 his breathing got
shallow all of a sudden you know he he deteriorated really quickly he died before the ambulance got
here the woman who called 911 was Chip Flynn's former girlfriend Kim HCK she said that she and Chip had been in his
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
