About this episode
On Friday, June 13th, 2008, just before 10 AM, an unknown assailant entered the Sundrop Bottling Company building in Concord, North Carolina. Inside were three employees including office manager Donna Barnhardt as well as Darrell Noles, a local man applying for a part-time job. During what police have called a robbery gone wrong, both Donna and Darrell were shot and killed. The shooter then walked out of the building, jogged across the road and disappeared into the tree line of a wooded area. He is alleged to have been carrying a box with him as he left the scene.
Despite exhaustive search efforts launched by local and state police within twenty minutes of the crime, the killer escaped the dragnet. For nearly two decades investigators have searched for the killer, although they believed they always knew who it was. Following a full and thorough re-examination of all available evidence and leads, detectives from Concord in conjunction with Port Angeles police arrested forty-three year old Johnny Talbert in Washington. He has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of robbery with a firearm. He is currently awaiting extradition.
