She didn't like being in this house because it gave her the creeps, but also she was a school bus driver and her daughter lived closer to her route. So it just made more sense. Jimmy worked for a manufacturing plant in Longview, Texas. What we know is he was at work. He worked the night shift and he was headed back home around 5 a.m.

He had all of his gear, his hard hat, his protective goggles, all these things he was required to wear for his job. And that's the last anyone has seen him.

Carol's story changes a lot, which has made her, I think, a focus of people's attention. She was living there part-time. There was a lot of contention between the two, so I can understand how her memory is not great.

What's compelling about this in terms of Keyes is, I would say out of all of the cases we've looked into, this has the most compelling circumstantial evidence. For starters, Keyes was in the area at the time. A Walmart receipt can place him about 20 miles away shortly after Tidwell is believed to have disappeared. Keyes bought a shovel, lubricant, and air freshener.

Where things get interesting is the day after Jimmy disappeared, Keyes set a house on fire and then robbed a bank. In the video of him at the bank robbery, he's wearing a hard hat and he has long, thin, stringy hair, which Keyes at the time had very short, thick, curly hair. When asked where he got the hair from, he said, human hair is very easy to find.

And then he said that he glued human hair inside this hard hat so it looked like he had longer hair. So Jimmy Tidwell's hard hat is never found. We know that Keyes took Samantha's hair. And, you know, again, this could be biased, but if you look at pictures of Jimmy Tidwell and you look at the hair in Keyes' helmet, it looks like the same hair. But again, like...

I'm not a hair scientist, so grain of salt.

We know that Keyes often would burn buildings after crimes. Our opinion is to conceal evidence from the crimes. This was a not vacant, but I guess abandoned home, not far from the bank he robbed, but far enough that his excuse that he did it as a diversion didn't make any sense because it's about a 20 minute drive.

They're in different jurisdictions, so it wouldn't be the same police responding to both events and the events occurred four hours apart. So it would be a very terrible diversion. So he can't really come up with a reason for why he burned this house, except that it just needed to burn. There's no evidence of remains, but I don't know that it was searched for remains at the time.

He did a heck of a job burning it. The house was completely destroyed. In fact, I went back two years ago and like the property 10 years later still smells like fire. There's so much circumstantial evidence. It lines up with a period where Keyes is missing. He told his mom he was stuck in the mud for three days. He had turned his phone off at the time. He stopped using his credit card at the time.
