About this deal

If you can get solid confessions from him, and if you can help us locate the bodies that are still missing, we're willing to completely wash your record," Beaumont said, according to Keene. Keene tried to get more information from Hall about where he allegedly buried Reitler, and Keene came across Hall with a map that showed the supposed location of several of his alleged victims. In his book, Keene explained that taking part in the operation allowed him to spend five years with his father, who passed away in 2004.

Keene – who now works as a consultant helping authorities profile serial offenders – was released from Springfield in 1999. But he was deeply affected by his time in Springfield, surrounded by the worst or most insane offenders in America, men with “no soul left” and no hope of release, unpredictable and violent. In a letter to his sister, Keene wrote: “The inhuman screams of the patients around me sounded like something straight out of Dante’s Inferno.” The novel follows young Jimmy Keene in the marijuana business. However, the business was undoubtedly dangerous. The job included surviving street shootings, brawls, and other dangerous situations. Do you recall any specific situations in which your life was in danger?I did a good deed, and I did a lot of good things," he said in the TV interview. "That's where I feel the redemption comes in. I've done something good for the things that I did wrong." Hall would smell him a mile away,” Beaumont replied. “He’d be too polished, and Hall would sense that and clam right up. But you’re perfect. You can mix with anyone—from the street level to the board level.” As the prosecutor described Jimmy’s qualifications for the job, Keene realized that during all the years that they had tried to put him away, Beaumont and the narcotics squads had observed Keene’s social skills with grudging admiration. He says, “It seemed like a dream. One minute, I’m sitting in Michigan on the hot dime of a ten-year sentence with a long way to go. Then Beaumont pops up out of nowhere with this serial-killer thing and like tomorrow I could be out.”

The U.S. Attorney and FBI rewarded Keene’s efforts in 1996 with early release and a completely clean record. Officials have been unable to find the remains of any of Hall’s additional victims. However, based on the new evidence Keene uncovered, Larry Hall's appeal was denied. Hall remains in prison and has confessed to over twenty murders during his incarceration. [9] He is serving a life sentence without parole in Butner, North Carolina, [12] and officials believe he may be responsible for up to 40 murders. [6] Media coverage [ edit ]Hall was known as the "man in a van" who targeted young girls across Illinois. He came to Beaumont's attention following the death of 15-year-old Jessica Roach in 1993.
