When the pair arrive at Errol’s den of horrors, Marty unsuccessfully bargains with the mistress of the house, and he and Rust have to break in when the swamp folk prove unco-operative. Generously, we can think that each man changed enough after 10 years to forgive the other not so generously, this is a rather sudden bit of character development for men who only clinked beers a few weeks ago. Rust probably didn’t need a storage unit for that.Īlong the way, though, Marty and Rust have a brief Hart to heart in the car, hashing out each man’s view of the drama with Maggie, and each man presumably finds peace with the past. All those years of policework reduced to a paint job, and interview with an old lady, and some taxes. But what’s this? Marty, miraculously, out of the first box he tries, finds an interesting clue: from a photo of the original crime scene of Marie Fontenot’s house, Marty realizes that the bright green ears of the original suspect’s description could have been green paint, as deduced from the bright green paint of the house’s photo! Before you know it, a visit to a nursing home and some tax records lead Marty and Rust to the house of Errol’s father, which, of course, Errol has turned into his personal house of horrors. Cut to Marty and Rust back to square one, investigating cold cases. Cut to ominous scene of Errol lurking about a school. Cut to Marty Hart and Rust Cohle’s failed interrogation of Steve Geraci, who they thought had a connection to the murders. Between the shifting accents of Errol and his disturbing household, it’s a fittingly unsettling opener. We begin with the freshly revealed villain, Errol Childress, lurking about his creepy castle of hoarded VHS tapes, a surprising, maniacal spouse, a poorly trained dog, and, of course, a corpse in a shack. Finally in the safe is a video tape of Marie's ritualistic rape and murder, finally confirming her death.First, a recap. Inside the safe he finds blindfolded pictures of Marie and what is to be assumed the pictures taken of her and her classmate at Shepard's Flock. Marie's whereabouts are not seen until Cohle breaks into Billy Lee Tuttle's house and takes his safe. The Sheriff, Ted Childress changes the file to "Report Made in Error" claiming he talked to the mother and straightened it out. Marie's mother reports her disappears to Erath deputy Steve Garaci. Marie is then kidnapped by the Tuttle/Childress family. Marie starts talking about them, causing a scandal leading the school to shut down (then reopen two years later as Light of Way). Toby explains that during their nap time he and Marie saw people in animal masks (along with an unmasked man with scars on his face) taking pornographic pictures of them and other crude things. Her case remains untouched until 2010 when Cohle interviews Toby Boelert, a former elementary classmate of Marie at Shepards Flock in 1988 (a school funded by Tuttle's Wellspring Program). Suspicion begins to shift once the detectives find a bird trap in her aunt's shed, similar to the ones found at the Dora Lang crime scene. She also claims not to know where she currently is but states that she also believes Marie to have run off with her father. He is in poor health and can hardly talk but the woman he lives with informs the detectives that Marie had played at their house more often than her mother's and that they had cared deeply for the girl. They visit her uncle due to what Cohle will later call intuition. While investigating the murder of Dora Lange, Detectives Martin Hart and Rustin "Rust" Cohle are informed of the disappearance of Marie 5 years previously, when one of the people they are questioning assumes it is her body that has been found. Her mother files a police report but not much is done about it as it is assumed that she ran off with her birth father and the sheriff at the time apparently felt she would be better off there. Wanetah Walmsley Marie Fontenot is a young Louisiana girl who goes missing circa 1990.
