Dark Valley
Chapter 18 | Down the Alley

But basically, Larry Alley would travel all over the Upper Valley, where Wickham had a monopoly on paving work, and essentially do bids on the off-season and manage paving crews in the spring and summer. The other strange and notable thing about Alley is that by the time of his death, he was almost $1 million in debt.

He had numerous personal loans, loans out for his business, and a $100,000 federal lien. Allie's wife, Beverly, is now deceased as well. So I decided to reach out to Allie's children. I ended up interviewing both of his sons. I'm going to protect their identities here, so I'll refer to the sons as the eldest and the youngest. My first interview was with the eldest.

He lives in the Appalachians now and is a veteran. He's a software contractor for the Coast Guard and a reverend doctor. He works as a hospital chaplain on the side. I did not get his consent to be recorded, so I'll quickly recap our conversation. The eldest appeared on Zoom wearing a black t-shirt that read, Forgive. Behind him was a big wooden sign that said Swansea.

He was surrounded by tall black bookcases filled with Christian texts. He also had quite the setup. He's a YouTube minister as well. I have to say, the whole conversation with the eldest gave me the willies. He was cheerful enough and gracious with his time, but there was just something off. And maybe that's just my own bias against online spiritual counselors.

Let's just say the eldest did not hold back. I don't think I got a word or a question in edgewise. We spoke for over an hour, but only talked about Linda Moore briefly. He told me yes, his dad was at the Moore house the day of the murder, about a bad paving job. He said his dad was, quote, old school. He had a tough childhood. His sister, quote, drank herself to death.

He himself used to have a drinking problem until he found Jesus. He said his father's house was haunted. He told me that after his father died, the family was shocked to learn how badly in debt Ali really was. He said his mother was oblivious and ended up losing her home. His brother had to declare bankruptcy because he went into business with his father.

And then the eldest said he tried to help his dad get back in the black, but found out he was cashing out all of these insurance policies and stealing money from some other fund. He was, quote, robbing Peter to pay Paul. He was about to confront his dad about all of this. But then Allie had a heart attack, and the eldest had to make the awful decision not to resuscitate.

And then just as he hit this somber note, the eldest went off on a tangent about how his daughter got into some trouble while she was a teenager with a quote, Arab. And he didn't approve because quote, Arabs tried to kill me in the war. And then he insinuated that he paid off the police in relation to this incident. But I'm unclear about that part. Everyone has their price, he said.

The eldest suggested that I speak with his brother, the youngest. He said his brother's the spitting image of their father. He's even a paver. He kept saying that over and over again. They're like mirrors of each other. I guess his point was that the youngest knew their father better, was closer to him, and probably had more information.

But, he said, he'd be surprised if his brother agreed to talk. As we ended the interview, the Reverend Dr. Eldest insisted that he pray over me. And hey, look, I didn't have a problem with it.
