Who is Jack Boyle and why is he calling?
Hello, this is a prepaid debit call from Jack Boyle, an inmate at the Marion Correctional Institution.
To accept this call... Hey, Jack, can you hear me?
Yes, yes, I hear you.
Okay. Jack Boyle and I have been speaking regularly for several months. I sometimes wonder why he makes the effort. I ask a lot of intrusive questions.
So what did you think when you learned that Sherry was pregnant? Well, I was kind of surprised. She was on birth control pills.
What is the relationship between Jack Boyle and Collier?
Still, Jack keeps calling. He also emails me via the prison's messaging system, GTL, and via the post office, sends documents and photos of himself in prison. It seems he has things to tell me. He mentions, among other things, that he wants to come clean. But I know there's another reason he's in touch. Maybe the real reason. Jack knows I'm speaking to Collier. And Jack, he still wants to be a father to his son.
He used to sleep on the floor next to his crib. You know, all those kind of nervous father things. He was a good baby, a good young man. And I expect he still is. I still wanted to have a relationship as my son and a father. I always wanted that. I want that to this moment.
But Collier hasn't responded to an email from Jack in 16 years. And this moment right now is complicated. Jack has been behind bars for almost 35 years. Jack is up for parole later this year. He's already been denied twice. He'll be 82 when he sees the parole board. This may be his final chance. And Jack is convinced that Collier holds the key to his freedom.
What are Jack Boyle's intentions for contacting Collier?
His input as a victim's son of the victim, child of the mother killed, you know, it's important stuff.
You think it really all comes down to Collier at this point?
Yeah, I really do, yeah. Yeah.
You have one minute remaining.
And don't forget, the last picture I sent you, would you scan it to Collier?
Yes, definitely, I will.
Tell him I said hello and I love him.
I sure will.
Thank you for using GTL.
A few days later, we helped Collier navigate the prison bureaucracy and set up his own email account. There's a message waiting for him.
So I have an email from my father. Bumper, please let me know if this email gets through to you. Hoping this works, dad. To the point, very succinct. I've put up some boundaries, obviously. And boundaries are good for protecting one's mental health. But it is, in a way, too, it's nice to, you know, be able to communicate with him. So I guess here we go. Nice to hear from you. Collier starts typing. Hi, Pop. What do I say? Nice to talk to you. Long time? I don't really know. I mean, it's been a while, right? So now I'm analyzing what I wrote because it's my father and he might be critical of my writing. So now I'm like, all right, I'm sending it. Let me grammatically correct this really fast. I guess some things never change.
All right, sending. Should a son rescue a father who may not deserve to be rescued? Collier has a decision to make. From Sony Music Entertainment and Orbit Media, this is Finding Mom's Killer. I'm Steve Fishman. Episode six, The Confessions of Jack Boyle.
