Hi friends, how are you today?
My name is Bailey Sarian and today is Monday,
which means it's Murder, Mystery, and Makeup Monday.
Sorry, I don't know why I said that.

Hi, and I'm gonna tell you a true crime story
that's been heavy on my noggin
and this is a podcast exclusive.
Don't forget to like and subscribe and stuff
because I'm here for you on Mondays.
Yeah? Okay, great.
So today's story, Henry Lewis Wallace.
No, it's gonna be a little gruesome, I apologize.
Takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina
between 1990 and 1994.
All right, you ready?
Buckle in.
Okay, great.
You're ready.
I know you are.
Working fast food can be a little rough, right?
It can be day after day of like the same thing.
A lot of the same people, the same orders.
And sometimes like problems come up that always seem to be your fault.
And you're like, I just work here, okay?
I don't freaking make the tacos in my basement,
I'm just working here.
But people don't get that.
I feel you.
I never worked fast food, but I worked retail
and it's not the same, but I feel you,
my heart goes out to you is what I'm saying.
Sometimes the only saving grace of those jobs
are the friends you make or your coworkers.
You know, the people that you end up working
within two inches of for like eight hours or more a day.
You learn to, I don't know, trust each other pretty fast.
I mean, you sort of have to
when you're like moving that fast for so long
or you're just in that cramped space.
Working together is the only way
you're gonna get work
done, right? So you rely on those people just as much as they rely on you. And then you know how it
goes. Like you laugh a few times, you make a few mistakes, a customer yells at you, and then all of a
sudden you're all friends. Hopefully. And after you've been through so much together, it's just so
easy to trust these people, you know? Have a drink with
them, hang out with them outside of work, and become friends. I mean, if you have this much
fun together at work, you gotta imagine that they're even more fun outside of it, right?
You'd never even think to worry about who they might be outside of work selves, that they might be different, that they might be living a life
you couldn't imagine. Today's story starts with exactly that. A few girls working at a Taco Bell
in Charlotte, North Carolina in the 1980s who had one or all of those thoughts and all of them
worked with a man named Henry Lewis Wallace. Henry seemed an
easygoing enough guy to his staff. He may have been the manager, sure, but the guy was like barely
halfway through his 20s. He wasn't a demanding asshole like you might be remembering from your
personal work days. In fact, most people described him as friendly and charming, a real smooth talker,
the kind of guy that you'd want to grab a beer with after work. I mean, if only his co-workers
knew what was brewing underneath, maybe he'd still be alive. Henry Lewis Wallace was born in Barnwell,
South Carolina, a town that had just a few people in 1960 as it does today, just over 4,400 people.
And it's only eight square miles. So when I say it's a small town, baby, listen, I mean it is
small. Henry's mother was surviving all on her own in Barnwell when she had her daughter, Yvonne,
and that was still the case when she had Henry three years later. Henry
and Yvonne their father I guess didn't stick around either. I don't have all the details but I know
that Henry's father was married to another woman and it seems like he cut off the affair he was
having with Henry's mother right after Henry was born. So he was a sleazebag. Right away we have two kids who get
like thrown. Nope. Right away we have two kids who get to grow up without a father figure. Like for
Henry that meant growing up without anyone on his side. Yeah not even his mother or his sister.
Times were hard in the Wallace house and Henry's mother had to work long hours just to make ends meet as a textile worker.
That meant leaving Henry and Yvonne home with their grandmother, who was a harsh old woman who argued with her daughter all of the time.
Their house, in the meantime, wasn't exactly modern.
They had no indoor plumbing, and they had no electricity.
The water they drank came from a ground well outside and one of Henry's chores was to change
out the chamber pot in their bathroom, which if you don't know, it's like a bowl. It's a bowl
people used to go to the bathroom in, you know, when you don't have a toilet that flushes. Henry was the youngest,
and it seems like he got the least attention
and the least help.
With money being tight,
most of Henry's clothes were hand-me-downs
from his sister's wardrobe,
which didn't help him earn any friends.
When he was really young
and was learning to use the bathroom by himself,
he developed a great fear of punishment and of his mother.
Apparently, she would terrify him so bad that it just made his problem worse.
Being so afraid of being screamed at, he just started hiding his clothes whenever he accidentally peed in them.
And it makes sense because Henry's mother was very big
on punishment. Apparently his mother beat him with a switch, which is like one of those small
riding crop style whips, but it was made out of wood. When she was too tired to do it, she'd force
her children to hit each other with it. Henry would say later in life that he remembered
doing it and that it hurt more to do it than anything she or his mother did to him. In high
school, Henry did a bit better. Like he had made a few friends and he was eyeing a spot on the
school's football team. Apparently his mother did not want him on the team. So he never got the chance to try out.
Instead, he joined the cheerleaders,
which I think is kind of banging, you know,
like hell yeah, that's cool.
Like if you can't be playing the game,
I mean, that's cool.
You're so good to be at football and the cheerleader
and like cheerleading is hardcore.
But you know, it wasn't what Henry wanted though.
So let me not get off track here.
He wanted to be on the team.
I guess it was a pretty slick move though because Henry was instantly recognizable at school for like his
position on the squad. He was the only guy there and he was six foot so everyone knew him and it
actually kind of made him popular. I wish I could find more details about it like pictures or
something but as the story goes his teachers and schoolmates
really liked seeing him at games. It was just different. It was cool. Henry graduated from
Barnwell High in May of 1983 and attended two different community colleges both of which he
lost interest in after just one semester at each school which may have had something to do with like his new night job as
the quote night rider I quote he was like a nighttime radio host for the local radio station
WBAW and he was I guess really good at it too the station was small given that it was like a it was
local to Barnwell but listeners had good things to say about his skills as a hip-hop DJ
and the relaxed atmosphere that he brought to the show. Apparently, this was especially true
for female listeners who enjoyed hearing Henry's smooth voice on the radio. He was good at it.
The downside, Henry got fired pretty shortly after he started when he was found
stealing CDs from the station. He was let go despite how popular he was with the ladies,
I mean listeners. And this is where the desperation for Henry starts to really take hold.
It was said that he had always known struggle, like his childhood wasn't exactly rosy,
but now he was floating without a plan for his future.
So he did the same thing a lot of people might do.
He joined the military.
Henry joined the United States Navy in 1984,
where he would stay for eight years.
Over the course of that time,
Henry once again seemed to be on the up and up.
He had a spotless record as far as his superiors in the navy were concerned and they knew him as
a great worker who followed orders and was reliable. He was even promoted a few times.
A year later in 1985 he married his high school sweetheart, Marietta, barbed him, and even
adopted her daughter as well. Aw, really stand-up guy he sounds like, right? Fuck. But we're here.
I always forget. I'm like, wow. But we're here. Okay. Soon though, Wallace expressed a desire for
a son of his own, his wife. I guess she wasn't into it.
She didn't want another child.
And honestly, when you look at how often
they were traveling back and forth
for Henry's military duties,
it kind of makes sense as to why.
Still, this seemed to have put a wedge between them.
And unfortunately, it wasn't the only one.
As their marriage went on,
it was said that their sex lives kind of dried up.
And you know, that happens sometimes, sure.
But Henry blamed it on his wife
and her own, quote, troubled childhood,
which is never a winning strategy.
Making matters worse,
Henry was caught attempting to break into his naval base
in the middle of the night in 1992, and he was discharged from the Navy as punishment.
He was honorably discharged though.
Look, real talk, I don't know why he was trying to break in.
Like, I don't, I have no clue why he did that.
And it's like, you dummy.
Anyhow, he had a spotless record.
And as soon as that happened, his wife had left him
and he never saw her or his adopted daughter ever again
without any other options.
He moved back in with his mother and sister,
but this time in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Back in the Wallace house, Henry fell on even harder times.
He'd lost his military career,
which by all accounts was spotless before he was caught
breaking into the base. He had lost his wife and adopted child. He'd lost his previous job as the
nighttime DJ. And now he was back where he started, living with his mom and his sister. Not that that's
bad, but you know, his mom was not like a nice person. Once back there Henry
I guess felt defeated and depressed. It was said that he fell into hard drugs. Specifically he
started smoking crack cocaine and soon it became his only motivator and that was when things took
a very dark turn. Henry worked a bunch of jobs after moving in with his mother and sister, but they
were all pretty not great compared to his last two. And then he eventually landed as a manager
at a local Taco Bell. He had a couple of girlfriends here and there. Most of his employees liked him,
but what little money he was making there ended up going to his drug addiction. As a
result Henry went from being the well-behaved boy he had been in the navy to now a compulsive addict.
Like crack cocaine ain't ain't a joke like it will fuck people up and he quickly learned that he could
lean on violence to get what he needed. On June 19th, 1992,
the same year that his wife left him
and he lost everything,
Henry showed up at his girlfriend's apartment unannounced.
Now her name was Sadie McKnight
and she had only been seeing Henry for like a short while.
In order to get inside,
he had actually stolen one of her keys.
And I guess he wasn't actually there to see Sadie.
When Henry arrived, he found the apartment was empty, exactly as he had hoped, I guess.
And he got inside and then he hid himself, just waiting. Now he wasn't waiting for Sadie to come home. He was waiting for her roommate, a young
black woman named Caroline Love. And she knew who Henry was. Her roommate was dating him after all.
But she was surprised to see him just inside her apartment. She didn't have much time to think
about it though. Because as soon as she arrived, Henry, I guess, kind of comes out
and tries to kiss Caroline.
It's like a pretty bold move, you know?
She's like, whoa.
Caroline actually told Henry that she'd let it go
and like not tell Sadie if he promised to stop,
but Henry didn't care.
He then choked Caroline out and held her like that with his hand around
her throat until she almost lost consciousness and couldn't resist anymore. Then he dragged her
to her own bed where he then raped her, all while never letting go of her. As she continued to fight
back against him, Henry found a curling iron in the room and wrapped the cord around her neck, hosting her up and choking her to death.
Once she was dead, Henry wrapped Caroline's body in her bedsheets and stuffed her in giant orange trash bags.
Then he drove out past the city limits and dumped her on the side of a dark road.
Eventually, his girlfriend Sadie came home to the same apartment from work that night,
and when she did, Henry was already gone with Caroline's body.
Then she got a phone call from Kathy Love, that's Caroline's sister.
Kathy had heard from Caroline's boss that, you know, she was missing for her shift that night.
When Sadie told Kathy that Caroline wasn't home, the two of them went
with Henry down to the police station to file a missing persons report. They literally sat there
talking to police about her being missing as if she was still alive while her murderer was sitting
in the room with them. When police investigated her apartment, they noticed a few strange things.
The furniture was out of place
and her bed sheets were missing,
but it wasn't enough for them to like point and say,
aha, she's been murdered, you know?
So it never led them back to Henry.
Caroline Love was filed away as a missing person.
And that was that,
which just left Henry open for another round.
In February of 1993,
Henry went to the home of a teenager
who worked in his restaurant.
Is Taco Bell a restaurant?
It doesn't matter.
He went to the home of a teenager who worked there.
Her name was Shauna Hawk,
and she trusted Henry enough
to not only open the door for him,
but let him inside and listen to him talk
about problems he was having with his girlfriend,
which is kind of weird, right?
But like, again, he's in his twenties
and he's kind of like the cool manager.
So like I could kind of see how you can get bamboozled
into doing that.
I don't know.
Well, I guess they were talking, right?
And then he gets up to leave.
But before he left, he hugged Shauna
and whispered in her ear that he wanted to have sex with her.
She's like, uh, no.
Shauna, I guess, took him to her room
as he made it seem like she didn't have another option.
Sadly, the very next day,
her body was found floating in her bathtub.
By the time the police got to her,
any evidence of what Henry had done was already washed away.
It wasn't until Henry was caught
that he admitted to having raped Shauna.
Before he left, he stole $50 out of her purse,
but with no other evidence to speak of,
the investigation stalled out.
Four months later, he repeated himself almost to a T
when he killed 24-year-old Audrey Spain.
It was another one of his employees.
He arrived at Audrey's house on June 25th
and mostly played the same routine.
He was a smooth talker, popular with the ladies from his radio days, remember? And Audrey had just gotten back from vacation and the two of
them were like catching up and laughing, but I guess Henry was just waiting for his moment. As soon as
her back was turned, he grabbed Audrey by the throat and pushed her onto the floor pinning her down and
demanding her money. When she said she didn't have any like she had literally just gotten back from
vacation Henry raped her. He choked her out and used her clothes to tie a rope around her neck
and strangle her to death. Then he stole what he could from her apartment and washed her body off in the shower
before tucking her body into her bed. Oh my god. After that, Henry started killing more often.
Before, he was waiting months between kills and now he was killing a girl every few weeks. All of
them were young black women and in August of 1993, he murdered Valencia Jumper, who was 21 at the time, and a friend of his own sister.
Much like before, Valencia let him in after he asked to talk about his girlfriend troubles.
And I guess the moment she looked away, Henry was on top of her.
He then did what he normally did but once he was finished he changed
up his next few moves and instead of like bathing Valencia's body or leaving her in the bathtub
he poured alcohol all over her, put food on the stove, turned the burner to maximum and then threw a lit match on top of Valencia.
I guess he was trying to make her death look like an accident. I don't know how that's an accident
but okay bro. But then he um pawned the jewelry that he took off of her body to get more drugs. He later told police that Valencia was, quote, like a little sister to him.
Yeah, a little sister. Great. He said, quote, I don't know why I ever hurt her. He and his family
even went to her funeral a few days after he killed her. In September, barely a month later,
he struck again. This time his victim was a 20-year-old mother of two, Michelle Stinson,
who was another friend from Taco Bell. Same routine. He like would show up, knock on the door,
talk me through my problems, please. Like I'm having girlfriend problems. And like he must
have had a silver tongue. Even so, it seems like he wasn't strong enough
to kill Michelle. By the time he got to choking her out, Michelle continued to fight back and moan
in pain, even when he used a towel to wrap around her neck. Now, he wasn't strong enough to kill her
his usual way, so he found a kitchen knife and I guess tried something new.
He ended up stabbing her in the back four times.
When he was sure she was dead,
he took what he could and left her to bleed out
on her kitchen floor where, oh my gosh, so sad,
but like her three-year-old son found her the next morning.
Ugh, awful.
He repeated himself once more in February of 1994,
strangling a woman named Vanessa Mack in her apartment
like he had with his other victims.
She'd been yet another friend of his
from his job at Taco Bell,
and she had two daughters aged seven and four. He's like killing everyone
from Taco Bell too so it's like bro like who's gonna like work those shifts that you're scheduling?
I'm gonna keep going in a second like this guy killed a lot of people but also one thing I want
to point out is how similar and yet kind of different his tactics are here. He chokes and rapes all of his victims, but he disposes of them differently,
and sometimes not at all.
Sometimes he steals from them.
Sometimes he doesn't.
Sometimes he tries to burn them.
Sometimes he stops them.
The police weren't seeing a connection here.
They didn't even seem to think that there was one.
Because of the way Henry changed up his pattern each time,
the police weren't even sure that they were dealing
with the same guy in each case.
They were treating each of his murders
as its own separate investigation.
And that meant that detectives
weren't sharing notes or details,
nor did anyone have any idea that so many of his victims were connected
to Henry through Taco Bell. Still, you would think that this string of young black women who were all
choked and raped within a year of each other would have caused, I don't know, suspicion.
You would think, right? Geez. Dee Sumter, who's the mother of the teenager Henry killed, Shawna Hawk,
she had another explanation, that the police were neglecting the murders because the victims were
all black women. She said that the police didn't care because, quote, the victims weren't prominent
people with social economic status. They weren't special and they were black, end quote. And this sentiment was pretty widely
shared among the people who lived in East Charlotte, where all of Henry's victims had lived.
The police actually called upon the FBI for help in this case, but get this, the FBI agents who
were working with them determined that the deaths of these women weren't the work of a serial
killer. What was their reasoning you ask? Well like we talked about before Wallace was changing up his
style every time. Normally serial killers stick to a pattern in order to fulfill you know like
whatever it is that's driving them but Henry's killings were just different enough that they
were all treated as separate cases, which is pretty wild given so many of them had died from
strangulation, all within the same five mile radius. You know? Well, you don't know, but now
you know. And it's like, these people are just idiots. But no connection, right?
A month after he killed Vanessa,
Henry was like way out of control.
On March 8th, 1994,
he was desperately in search of cash for drugs.
And so once again, he looked to his long list of friends
and coworkers he might be able to exploit.
This time he chose a friend's girlfriend.
Her name was Brandy Henderson.
As usual, he showed up on her apartment doorstep
with a sob story in hand.
But it was his friend Vernon, Brandy's boyfriend,
that opened the door.
This shook Henry.
He wasn't prepared to be face-to-face
with like an actual friend of his.
Instead of feeding Vernon the usual shit,
Henry knew he needed to get out of there. So he made up a story about how he was about to leave
town for a while and wanted to say goodbye. You know, never mind that he'd shown up at Brandy's
apartment to say goodbye to Vernon. But before he left the complex, he had another idea. He wasn't brave enough to take on
his friend and rob him, but he did know another woman who lived in the same apartment complex.
Oh god, I know. So he went right down the hall to the apartment of Betty Bocom, a co-worker of his
girlfriends. Henry knew that Betty was the assistant manager
at her restaurant and thought that she might have the key
to the restaurant's safe.
He knocked on the door and of course,
she recognized him and let him in.
He asked to use her phone and I guess she wasn't looking.
He caught her in his arms and demanded the code
to the restaurant's safe.
After she gave it to him, he choked her,
raped her, and then strangled her, stealing her money, her jewelry, her TV, and her VCR,
all of which he pawned the same day. Oh, and he stole her car. But I guess it wasn't enough
because literally 12 hours later, he was back at Brandy's apartment. By that time he
knew his friend Vernon would be at work and Brandy would be home alone. In order to get around his
lie from earlier about going out of town he told Brandy he was dropping something off for Vernon.
Sadly once he got inside you know what happened. There was one thing he hadn't accounted for.
Brandy had a baby boy.
Once Henry had Brandy pinned down,
he ordered her to give him whatever money she had.
When she told him she didn't have anything, he was furious.
And according to Henry, when he was preparing to rape her,
Brandy kept asking over and over to hold her son. Henry told her no but
she just kept asking and asking and it must have gotten to him because according to the testimony
he gave he raped her and strangled her while she was holding her son in her arms. After he killed
her her son started crying and Henry didn't know what else to do. So he,
oh my God, I'm so sorry, but like, this is a really bad story, but he ends up killing the baby too.
He like choked the baby. I'm sorry. Then he stole everything he could and ran. I know it's just such
an awful story. Oh, such an awful story. And it could have been prevented if the police weren't
fucking idiots. So two days after Henry's little killing spree,
the police finally all gathered together
to compare their notes.
I guess at this point, they were getting,
you know, a lot of pushback,
and they were getting kind of nervous.
They were already in hot water with the public,
and the news of two more deaths
wasn't going to make things any better.
Luckily, they not only discovered the connection
between Betty and Brandy,
but they matched up their injuries with that of Vanessa Mack, one of Henry's previous victims.
When they questioned each of those women's families, all three listed Henry as among the victim's friends, and that got them started. Soon after, they discovered that Shana Hawk and Audrey Spain worked at the same Taco Bell while Henry was a manager.
They found out he was friends with Michelle Stinson,
Valencia Jumper, and Betty Bochom,
and that the rest of his victims were either exes or friends of his girlfriend.
Finally, they had a connection,
something that undeniably linked a single man to nine cases.
The only thing that police needed now was proof,
which you think would be easy,
like fingerprints, something, right, DNA?
I don't know, but I guess they were hoping for a miracle.
Lucky for the police, Henry was already making mistakes.
Remember how he stole Betty's car after he murdered her?
Well, the day after their big meeting,
the police managed to locate the vehicle,
but when they had gotten to where it was,
they found that the whole thing had been wiped down,
like the interior, you know,
to cover up any trace of fingerprints.
Now, only thing was, Henry had missed a spot spot the only place that hadn't been wiped down
was the lid of the car's trunk i mean kind of makes sense he had to transport the tvs he stole
from betty and brandy's as well as everything else he took and he probably just forgot that
he'd used the trunk after he dumped the car. And as luck would have it,
they found just enough residue
to pull prints from that trunk, the trunk lid.
And the fingerprints led them straight
to Henry Lewis Wallace.
The same day the police were pouring over Betty's car
for any trace of Henry, he was still looking for more.
He met up with a former co-worker
of his girlfriend's who he knew like had smoked crack and her name was Deborah Slaughter. I know
what a last name huh? He asked her to split the cost of buying some but she told him that she
needed the money for rent. I guess he didn't like that answer though because shortly after he put a towel around her neck.
Only difference was that once he was trying to choke her all the pieces came together for Debra.
She's like thinking she's realizing shit and she's started accusing him of murdering Betty and Brandy
which I guess infuriated him. He then raped her and as she fought back and screamed for help, he took her own self-defense
knife and stabbed her 38 times in her stomach and chest. 38 times. Oh my gosh. This guy is
completely off the rails. Holy shit. After that, he repeated his usual robbery routine. So he got
away with one more murder even as the police confirmed who he was and what he was doing.
Finally, the next day on March 12, 1994, at 5 p.m., Henry Lewis Wallace was arrested after he was found hiding out at a friend's house,
just as Deborah's body was found and connected to him across town.
Henry didn't waste much time after he was arrested.
He was interrogated by an entire panel of men all at once,
rather than one-on-one.
Before the night was out,
he actually admitted to all nine of the murders we covered
on top of admitting to killing a sex worker in 1992.
I guess this happened before he killed Caroline Love.
In the end, he admitted to killing these women for exactly what you think, like sex and drugs.
And because he's sick, I don't know.
Yeah, I think we can agree he's sick, Bailey.
He killed a bunch of women.
He was never satisfied.
Whatever he got from his victims, he just wanted more and more.
Which, when you see how his murders went from like months apart to weeks apart
to his final three victims all dying in the span of four days, yeah it checks out. His addiction
was getting worse and worse and worse and the drugs and the sex and just all of it. In addition
to his confession, Henry provided a detailed account of everyone he had killed to the police, which was recorded in its entirety.
It's because of that recording that we have all these details, all these motivators and connections.
He was eager to tell the police what he had done.
After he confessed, he said that he felt, quote, like a big burden had been lifted end quote. Cool happy for
you I guess sheesh. Henry was found guilty of each of the nine deaths the police were able to
investigate as well as several rape and assault charges. He wasn't charged for the sex worker that
he admitted to have killed but he did receive nine death sentences.
He's currently awaiting an execution date at Central Prison in North Carolina.
Since he's been there, though, he's admitted to even more.
Apparently, he admitted to killing women all the way back during his time in the Navy. According to one source, if all of his
confessions since imprisonment have been true, Henry killed something like 20 people altogether,
half of which would have been while he was in the Navy. And I mean, he was arrested in 1994.
So if we go back to the year he joined the navy in 1984 and count up all of his victims proven
and otherwise he may have like killed 20 women in half as many years completely like without
anyone noticing well almost and that my friends is the awful story of henry Wallace. Holy tomato right? I know it's awful. So awful. So upsetting. Deeply
upsetting. It's like lock your doors and stuff but at the same time like he was going to people
that he knew so it's like oh yeah you just want to talk like yeah come on in. Oh you're having
girlfriend problems? Sure let's talk about it you know just
being nice and kind and instead he murders and like rapes him like oh i hate this story this
