Richard Hammond had insomnia and could see that feel from his bedroom window. I don't think he wants to call police and alert them to what he's doing in his place. You know what I mean? And I'm not saying I don't know. I don't know. The reason that a lot of things might not fit is because maybe there isn't just one answer. And.

Another problem that we're going to face when it comes to making a case is that like you will have this Richard Hammond thing that is like very open ended. Again, it can never be buttoned up. Right. We don't know if Peggy was on one of those tapes because some powerful people made sure we would never know what was on those tapes, who was on those tapes.

And if you came to the live show, this is where we started to wrap things up. But I mean, as a lot of people might have noticed by now, like the theme of these stories is going a layer deeper.

So while Britt and I were on tour, I sent some of our reporters back to Colorado to do some more digging, some more door knocking and like boots on the ground work, mostly because I couldn't shake the feeling that there is more to this Dr. Hammond story. Right.

I don't know. The way that everyone made it go away so fast and like the operation we learned he had set up feels so much bigger. So we got our hands on some investigative reports from Hammond's case. And I was disappointed to see that police just straight up stopped investigating after he died. I mean, not surprised, but disappointed.

Again, at the time they said it was all to protect the victims, blah, blah, blah. But the question I have is like no one can say for sure that Hammond didn't sell or share the tapes. What we learned is that his video setup was professional. It was elaborate. And his tape catalogs were organized like a library. And Hammond would even label the tapes by like date, by victim's initials.

But some of the tapes were also labeled ready tapes.

I don't know. Distribution? To go somewhere? Our reporting team tracked down one of Hammond's victims, and she filled in some blanks for us. And prepare to be disappointed yet again, because she told us that not only did police never ask their opinions on destroying the evidence, which we assumed...

But when detectives were interviewing the victims, they were asking these victims if they were in on it.

The cops were asking these teenage girls if they were performing for the cameras. Like, did anyone tell you where to stand and what to do? And on top of that, she said that Fort Collins PD never once offered to let these teen girls have a parent or trusted adult in the room with them during their interviews. So it just feels like the victims have never once had a voice in that case.

Like every decision was made for them, even after the cops basically treated them like suspects. Oh, and remember how I told you, like we found out that like there was a file that said some of the DA's office had socialized at Hammond's, might be on the tapes, whatever. Well, when we finally got to track down Judge Terry Gilmore, that was obviously one of the things we asked him specifically about.
