Lisa gets Belle to admit that Maria and Debbie had been in that dive shop. But for all his talking, Belle doesn't give up much else. That is, until the interview is almost over.

He does. In July 2011, Bell sends Lisa the first of two letters. Much of it is in the form of a list. For example, three Galveston, two fall 1971, one fall 1976, two Webster, 1971, July, one blonde, one brunette. The list goes on, with Bell reducing the bright lives of these young girls to bullet points.

But for Lisa, the good news is, aside from the fact that Renee and Sharon disappeared in August 1971, not July, Bell's list seems to support her and Fred's theory. Then Lisa gets another letter from Bell. It's the one with his Eleven Who Went to Heaven poem. And he seemed proud of it.

Detective Fred Page had already linked Bell to the murders of Debbie Ackerman, Maria Johnson, Sharon Shaw, and Renee Johnson. But over the years, Bell had confessed to killing anywhere from 7 to 11 female victims. Soon, Fred and Lisa are basically partners in their investigation, and they want to find out exactly who Bell claims he killed.

In the summer of 1971, Colette Wilson was immersed in band camp. She played the clarinet. And every day after camp, her band director would drop Colette off in the same spot where her busy mom could easily swing by and get her. But when her mom arrived on June 17th as planned, Colette was nowhere to be seen. Her skeletal remains were found a few months later near a reservoir west of Houston.

Colette's father, a dentist, confirmed her identity using her teeth. Ed Bell used Colette's full name in his letter, and Lisa and Fred learned that the spot where Colette's mother was supposed to pick her up was right along Bell's commute to work. Belle didn't receive much attention at the time.

Then there were the other victims Belle alluded to. One he identified only as Gigi in Houston. Fred and Lisa believed the initials could refer to Gloria Gonzalez, a bookkeeper who was last seen at her Houston apartment in October 1971, and whose death was already tied to Colette Wilson's.

Which makes sense. The remains of two murder victims were found mixed together in the same place, so they probably had the same killer. After Gloria and Colette were found in November 1971, investigators concluded the following. Gloria was most likely strangled with some kind of cord or rope, while Colette died from blunt force trauma.

The further Lisa and Fred went, the more legitimate the crumbs bell dropped in his letter seemed. He included the name Pitchford in one, along with a few other details, like that the girl was blonde and wearing a black coat. He also implied he found her near a mall in Houston called Gulfgate.

As it turned out, a girl named Kimberly Pitchford had disappeared one evening in January 1973 after driver's ed class. She was wearing a black coat she'd just gotten for Christmas. Her body was found two days later near a drainage ditch with a bridge nearby, not far from I-45. It was also close to Highway 6, which led straight to Bell's home at the time.
