Texas Killing Fields Page #2

Her sister's boyfriend's

pit bull got her.

I should have stayed out of the yard,

but they told me the dog

was locked up.

- I told you they didn't lock that gate.

- They told you.

Anyway, he came right up here

to the house asking about her.

Who's "he"?

- Levon.

- Sheila.

- Levon.

- See...

Did you know that they crossed

a pit bull with a shih tzu?

What the hell is a shih tzu?

What are you talking about?

One of them little Chinese dogs, man-

one of them little bitty dogs.

That must have hurt.

- It's called a bullshit.

- You--

Are you gonna ask her

if it's one of her girls or what?

Or you just gonna read 'em

a bedtime story?

That's all you about, is bullshit.

You all bullshit.

- Come on.

- That's all you about.

I'm gonna go see a man

about a man.

Check with CSI.

I'll meet you there.

All right, let's go back,

talk about this girl.

She's about 15 years old,

just a little crack ho from up north--

Dallas or somewhere.

We called her the Little Debbie

She stayed everywhere,

slept where she could,

- sometimes over at Reba's shelter.

- Really?

And them boys

ain't scared of nobody.

And the scary one

is the white dude.

Yo, which way be Edwards Street?

- Say, you want a ride?

- I'm good.

Come on, you sure look like

you could use a ride.

Don't be teasing me now, girl.

- Lunchtime.

- All right, you good now, boys.

How you doin"?

I'm Brian-

Texas City Police Department.

I know your daddy.

Don't look at her.

Look at me.

I'm extending my hand here.

You should shake it.

- I'm not from here.

- You got any ID?

You seen this girl,

Levon Chalmers?

She came to me,

said a guy was following her,

giving her the fix.

I even think I seen him once.

You know her name?

Not really.

- Not really?

- No.

Why don't you ask him

what he call her?

All right, Levon, I need you

to come down to the station

and talk to me and my partner,

look at some pictures.

I'll give you my card.

You get lost or you need a ride,

use that card

and you call me, okay?

Most definitely.

Most definitely.

I'll see you soon.

All right.

Of course, it's only been

a few weeks,

but he has been

a good employee, though.

No problems.

Every time some little b*tch

gets her period,

y'all gotta drag my ass in here?

Bet that one right there

is on the rag.

Bring him in first.

Can we sit in?

Okay, but don't talk,

don't smile,

don't even blink

if he looks at you.

What are you doing for women

these days, Salter?

Don't look at him.

What are you doing for ladies?

I ain't been with a woman

since I got out.

You just lie to me?

Did you not meet my girlfriend,

Pamela Palm?

Tell me the truth.

Tell me the truth.

Got a hooker.

I give her money.

- Is that it?

- Yeah, I got a couple of 'em.

Jesus Christ.

I hope he don't need

medical attention.

You had to call my chief, huh?

Yeah, and I asked for Brian.

Where's Brian?

If Brian gets stuck in your case,

we'll never get him out.

So you get Prince Charming instead.

It's okay.

I feel the same way.

It's 48 hours.

Just make the best of it.

#An' you hear the winds quit,

an' the moon is gray #

# An' the lightnin' bugs in dew

is all squenched away... #

# You better mind yer parents #

# An' yer teachers fond an' dear #

# An' cherish all that loves you,

an' dry the orphan tears #

# An' he'p the poor an' needy ones

who cluster all about #

# Or the goblins will git you

if you don't watch out. #

- Hey, Reba, how you doin'?

- Hey, Brian, how are you?

- Got something for you.

- Thank you.

I need you to take a look

at this for me.

All right.

Oh.

- What are you doing here?

- She's been hanging out here lately.

You know, the girls upstairs

knew her real well.

Come on, let me take y'all up.

Man on the floor!

Man on the floor!

Hey, guys.

I'm Brian-

Texas City Police Department.

This is my partner Mike.

Mind if I sit down?

What's your names?

- Imani.

- I'm Marie.

Marie?

- How long you been in here?

- Four months.

How old are you?

You have family in here-

a mother, aunt, something?

All right, I have to

show you guys a picture.

I need to know

if you know this girl.

You ever seen her before?

She was our friend.

You know her name?

- Debbie Mills.

- Debbie what?

- Debbie Mills.

- Debbie Mills.

We kept her ID for her.

Mike, you got that other picture?

You ever seen this guy around?

- Yeah.

- Was that her pimp?

Was that her pimp?

- Look, she had to eat.

- You ever seen him smack her?

She would come here to hide

from him and the white guy.

They followed her here

and they dragged her out of bed.

- What else?

- He kicked her. He punched her.

- Yeah?

- He always made her cry.

- What else did he do?

- Tried to take all her money.

That's why we hid her real ID

and her money for her.

You said "white guy."

What'd he look like?

Pointy chin.

Go on, then.

- Short blond hair.

- How short?

I don't know!

Just short blond hair

- Go on.

- Some tattoos. That's all I know.

- Were they on his arms?

- On his arm and his neck.

Okay.

Good.

Give me your IDs.

Thank you.

Don't look at me like that.

We're gonna need CPS down here

at Reba's shelter on North Main.

Texas City Police Department.

Please hold.

Hey, Levon.

Sorry we're late.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Well, okay.

You wanted to ask me

some questions- here I am.

All right, good.

And, yeah.

Interview with Levon Chalmers

by Detectives Heigh and Souder.

I'm glad you want

to cooperate, Levon.

You came in here on your own accord,

so you can leave whenever you want.

That's greatly appreciated.

Here's your rights sheet.

I'm sure you've seen that before.

Will you sign that for me, please?

- Thank you.

- This'll be easy.

All I really want to know

is how you get a 14-year-old girl

to become a prostitute.

She said she was 15, man.

So, you knew she was a minor.

Okay. Good.

And you ever beat her up?

Okay, did you ever hold her

against her will?

Did you ever make her suck a dick

in the front seat of a truck

and then you kind of pulled her out

and beat the living sh*t out of her?

Bri, Pam's on the phone.

- I told you only to talk to me.

- You said I could go.

- Wait a minute.

- You sit the f*** down, a**hole!

Pimping out young girls.

You motherf***er!

[EH

I ought to rip that thing

off your chin

- and shove it up your f***in' ass!

- Mike!

- Don't you look at me like that.

- Levon came in here for a reason.

You're gonna help us

clear some stuff up, right?

Oh, I'm sorry, Levon.

I'm sorry we're stopping you

from your day job as what--

a f***in' rocket scientist?

Levon here has got a rep

on the streets.

He knows what's going on.

I'm gonna ask you

a couple questions, all right?

Why would a killer, after he murdered

somebody, cut into 'em?

I'd assume to send a message-

"Don't f*** with us."

- You're assuming to send a message?

- Yeah, I'm assuming.
