By early 1994, Henry Lewis Wallace had killed five of his friends and coworkers in Charlotte, North Carolina. He'd managed to avoid police scrutiny, but things were about to change. On February 20th, he called up his friend Vanessa Little Mac. Vanessa picked up the phone. After all, she and Henry had been friends for close to two years. But instead of talking, Henry just hung up.

On February 20th, he called up his friend Vanessa Little Mac. Vanessa picked up the phone. After all, she and Henry had been friends for close to two years. But instead of talking, Henry just hung up.

Later that day, he showed up at her apartment. Vanessa welcomed Henry in. Henry asked Vanessa for a drink, but when she had her back turned, he put her in a chokehold. Henry forced Vanessa to give him her ATM card and her PIN so he could drain her bank account. Then he sexually assaulted and strangled her.

Once Vanessa was dead, Henry checked on her baby daughter as if he hadn't just brutally murdered the child's mother. Then he took the ATM card to go get cash. But as he fed the card into different machines, he realized that Vanessa had lied to him about her PIN number. Without it, he couldn't withdraw any money.

Henry left the ATM, but not before security cameras captured his attempts to use the machine. He'd just been caught on camera trying to use his victim's ATM card. However, the camera wasn't high resolution, so it was hard to identify him beyond his general appearance, a large, dark-skinned man wearing a dangling cross earring. The slip-up wouldn't lead anyone to Henry, at least not yet.

Nearly three weeks later, Henry targeted Betty Baucom. Betty was another friend from Bojangles, so when Henry asked to come inside her apartment and use her phone, Betty let him in. Henry and Betty chatted for a while. It's possible they talked about her engagement or her future plans, since at the time Betty was considering moving to Sanford, North Carolina to be closer to her fiancé.

Everything seemed normal until Henry suddenly put Betty in a chokehold and said he was robbing her. He wanted her valuables and the code to the safe at Bojangles. When Betty gave Henry the code, he released her. According to Henry, Betty asked, "'Why did you do that to me?' He responded that he was sick and that he'd hurt a lot of people.

In a temporary moment of peace, Henry embraced Betty in a hug. She told him she forgave him. For a moment, it seemed like Henry might reconsider. But it didn't last. Henry attacked Betty again, sexually assaulting her and strangling her to death. After, he walked across Betty's apartment complex.

He had other friends who lived there, specifically Lamar Woods and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Brandy Henderson. Brandy and Lamar used to invite Henry over to play cards, listen to music, and drink beer. Henry knew Lamar had to work that night, so when he stopped by, he told Brandy he was dropping something off for him. Naturally, Brandy let her friend in.

He attacked and killed her, just like he had Betty. But Brandy wasn't home alone. Her 10-month-old son was also in the apartment, and he was crying. According to Henry's confessions, he wanted to quiet the child, so he used a bathroom towel to choke the baby. Once the baby stopped crying, Henry stole Brandy and Lamar's valuables, then left the complex with Betty Bauckham's car.

He sold the stolen goods and used the money to buy drugs. The next day, Betty and Brandy's bodies were found in their apartment complex. So was Brandy's baby son. He'd survived Henry's attack. Police interviewed Brandy's loved ones and learned that her cousin had been on the phone with her shortly before she died.
