The tragic end to Operation Black Bird. ⚖️😲

Larry Hall destroyed the wooden map. The locations of over 40 missing women were lost forever. Because Jimmy got some confessions, he was set free, but he has to live with blowing the final mission. Larry remains in prison today.

Do you think Jimmy failed, or did his best? Comment below! 👇

He lost his temper, and lost the evidence. 😡⚖️
​Instead of walking away and calling the FBI, Jimmy snapped. He yelled at Larry, calling him a monster, and completely blew his undercover identity.
​Because of his outburst, guards threw Jimmy into solitary confinement. His messages to the FBI were delayed. By the time the FBI finally got Jimmy out of solitary, the map was completely gone.
​The fast-paced 15-second finale is next! 👇

The chilling map of bodies. 🤯🦅

This is the breaking point. Jimmy found Larry in the woodshop looking at a wooden map he had carved. Sprinkled across the map were little wooden falcons.

Larry chillingly told Jimmy that the falcons "watched over the dead." Jimmy realized he was looking at the exact locations of every single buried body!

He just had to get a message to the FBI. But then, disaster struck in Part 8! 👇

Earning the devil's trust. 😡🩸

Jimmy’s charm worked perfectly. Larry started opening up about the girls he killed. He talked about how he folded their clothes and where he dumped them.

But confessions weren't enough. The FBI strictly told Jimmy: "We need physical proof. We need to know where the bodies are buried."

Then, Jimmy saw something that made his blood run cold. Part 7! 👇

Locked in with a monster. 🎲🔪

Jimmy Keene transferred to Springfield prison. He had no FBI protection inside. If the other inmates found out he was a snitch, he was dead.

He slowly started talking to Larry Hall in the prison workshop. He had to listen to Larry's sick, twisted stories about women and pretend to agree with him, just to gain his trust.

Did he get the confession? Watch Part 6. 👇

The ultimate undercover mission. 😳🏢

The FBI was desperate. They approached Jimmy Keene, a charming, high-level drug dealer serving a 10-year prison sentence.

The deal? Jimmy had to transfer to a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane, befriend Larry Hall, and get him to confess to where he buried the bodies. If he succeeded, Jimmy would go free.

Would you take that deal? Part 5 gets intense. 👇

The body count was unbelievable. 😱🗺️

Investigators started tracking Larry's van across the United States. Everywhere he went, women vanished. They suspected he was responsible for over 40 murders!

But because he cleaned his van with chemicals, there was zero physical evidence. If his appeals went through, he was going to walk free.

So, the FBI came up with an insane plan. Watch Part 4. 👇

The creepiest defense ever. 🤯🛌

Police questioned Larry about the murder of 15-year-old Jessica Roach. Surprisingly, he confessed! He gave details only the killer would know.

But the next day, he retracted his confession. He smiled and told police, "I just have really vivid dreams about killing women. It wasn't real."

The police knew he was lying, but proving it was almost impossible. Part 3 is wild! 👇

Everyone thought he was just weird, but he was actually a monster. 😳🚐

In the 1990s, Larry Hall was a quiet janitor who drove around the country in a creepy van to attend Civil War reenactments. But young girls kept disappearing in the exact towns he visited.

When police finally brought him in for questioning, he said something chilling. Watch Part 2! 🚨

The scariest part? He is still out there. ⚖️😲

Welcome to the finale of the Eastbound Strangler. It has been over 15 years, and despite a massive reward and endless investigations, the killer has never been caught.

Did he die? Is he in prison for a different crime? Or is he still walking the streets, keeping a low profile? The families of the victims are still waiting for answers.
