The caller describes the detectives' three-way call confirming his case matched the Smiley Face Killer pattern exactly, their theory it was GHB-related, and their limited ability to pursue leads like surveillance footage.
- 53:33Caller found a Facebook group called the Smiley Face Killers True Group dedicated to proving the killings were real.
- 54:00Tim asks the investigative questions: did detectives get bar surveillance, check the phone for texts, or verify any actual evidence?
- 56:17Detectives in charge of the investigation contacted the caller through the Facebook group and set up a three-way phone call.
- 56:57Detectives told the caller he was almost certainly drugged with GHB, a date rape drug, and that he was extremely lucky to be alive.
- 57:33Caller says detectives told him as fact that this was definitely a Smiley Face Killer case, which shifted his certainty from possible to likely.
- 58:48By the time detectives contacted him, four or five weeks had passed since the incident at the bar.
- 59:04Detectives later emailed that they went to the town, found the smiley face at the dam, but couldn't pursue anything without a death.
- 59:51Police concluded there wasn't much they could do and classified it mainly as documentation in case similar incidents happened elsewhere in the area.
