Right, right. So to do that, let's go back to March 22nd, 1987, Dallas, Texas. Now, back then there were two Dallas's. There was West Dallas, right, which is a poor, largely black neighborhood. It was suffering through the crack epidemic. And Ben Spencer lived in West Dallas. He was 22 years old. He was Black. He had no violence in his background. He had a job loading and unloading trucks.

He was newly married. And he and his wife had a baby on the way in two months. So they were saving money for a new house. And they wanted to move away from the dangerous streets of West Dallas. And then there was the other Dallas. A wealthy, glitzy city fueled by oil money, exemplified by this super popular primetime soap opera called, naturally, Dallas.

And this was also the Dallas of H. Ross Perot. You may remember he's a self-made billionaire and entrepreneur. Good afternoon. Perot would eventually run not once, but twice for president.

Well, the two Dallases collided. March 22 1987 was a Sunday night and Jeffrey young was an executive in the clothing import business and he went to his office in the warehouse district of Dallas he was 33 years old, he was married to his high school sweetheart he was father of three children. And we don't know exactly what happened because there were no security cameras around recording it.

But the police were able to put details from the crime scene together. And here's the theory based on the evidence. When Jeffrey Young came out of the office around 9.30 p.m., the assailant or assailants pushed him back into the building, ripped off his wedding ring and Seiko watch, and took the cash out of his wallet.

Young was struck on the head with a blunt instrument, which cracked his skull in five places. He was then placed in the trunk of his BMW and taken to West Dallas. Despite the lethal blow to his head, somehow he managed to open the trunk lid and fall out. And the assailants panicked. They drove the car into the alley, into an alleyway, and then they ran away.
