By the year 2000, Carl was in his late 70s, and he was sticking to the same story he gave a whole lifetime before.

No new info.

The end.

Investigators gave it another 12 years and took a second crack at Carl in 2012.

Detectives were desperate to get Carl to talk before it was too late.

They even floated the idea of possible immunity.

Was he saying that because after so many years without contact, it feels like a pretty safe assumption?
