#TheFBIFiles #TrueCrime #FullEpisode
Season 2 Episode 7: A decade long investigation of the contract killing of a married couple in Biloxi Mississippi, who happens to be a circuit court judge and a mayoral candidate, turns to a local criminal organization known as the Dixie Mafia. But as many of the culprits are convicted and jailed on other charges the murders remain unsolved and the mastermind, Peter Halat, is elected mayor. The threat of additional charges against one of the convicts pressures him to disclose the truth about the murders implicating Halat and his hitman.
The FBI Files is an American docudrama that takes a look behind the scenes of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's crime laboratory.
Real FBI cases are recounted through reenactments and interviews, due to the sensitive nature of the show, viewer discretion is advised.
The Pete Halat actor deserved an Oscar for this. Dude put his everything into this performance 😂
This was supposed to be his big break 😆
A movie should be made about this or.a Netflix serious
I actually really liked his performance and looked the dude up after I watched this 😆
@@legitbeans9078doesn't get any bigger than FBI files. Lol

I went on a study abroad to Europe my senior year of college. That's how the grad students got through the day.
Breakfast of champions
It's 5 o'clock some where!
The classic 'bad guy' , for the viewers to know he is suspect. And that actor made it really believable!
Lol. t thought well hey now, take it easy bud.
They would've solved the crime a lot quicker if the investigators hadn't kept getting interrupted by ads
That made me lol 🤣🤣

get a free ad blocker.i did a week ago, i cant believe i didnt do it sooner.
U push the red. Thing to the end and replay no ads xem
Halat acted weird from the beginning. Why do you have to take your young partner along, and then send HIM into the house? He's a judge, did no one think to send a cop over I think it's called a wellness check
I wondered why the daughter didn’t call .
I was also asking myself why he sent someone to go the house first...I knew he had something to do with it right from the start
There were no wellness checks in 1987. But it does seem that the family & the Judge’s office staff would have missed him/needed to ask him something before Wednesday. If your parents are supposed to come up on Saturday & don’t call, wouldn’t you be frantic by Sunday? Also, it’s weird that they mention no other family members in Biloxi on either side.
That's the same thing I said.
@Emily Bishop Yet “Politics makes strange bedfellows” is more than an old saying. But you are right! Staging, lighting, makeup don’t approach the real maneuverings that must’ve gone on in Dixie to bring them all together.
This one feels like a episode of Columbo.
You see a person and you know immediately, who the suspect is.
Some actors can only play villains 😁
I was watching ads and these murders kept popping up.
😂
Adrian Jarvis I swear I didn't know until the other day cause I read it in comments. What's the best one?
laurab972 me to.. is it an app? Just searched on iTunes, but hmm 🤨📱
Lol
@Adrian Jarvis but not for tv`s
Asking the neighbour if he had seen them before even seeing if they were home is just weird
It reminds me of something Saul Goodman would do
To anyone that thinks out things for a living it's called a red flag and they can spot it right away. But for your typical small town neighbors. A question like that goes without notice
He was probably hoping the young man would enter the home and discover the bodies. Murderers often contrive to have someone else discover the victim(s.)
I love the reactments of the FBI FILES, makes it more understandable of cases!
The end is funny "the sleepy little southern town she had tried to save was gone forever" Biloxi was never a sleepy little town. The mississippi gulfcoast was a haven for mafia. There were backroom casino's in a lot of the bars. As long as they paid the cops off it was no problem for gambling, prostitution, and drugs. Biloxi especially was a wide open town. Lots of big celebrities of the day came here to perform, or hang out. I think Al Capone had a house down here.I believe it was in Ocean Spings, across ths sound from Biloxi. By all accounts, it was what made it such a popular destination. Kind of a southern vegas. That's not to say there wasn't an element of "quiet town" feel. The criminal undercurrent was kept on the down low pretty well for the most part. They screwed the pooch with the Sherry murders.
Biloxi is anything but a sleepy southern town.
It took so long to solve it because everyone in just about in law enforcement was involved in it seriously
Is it any better now ??
@@doneldamacdonnell8602 its always been a wonderful place to live. Even when Dixie mafia was a presence here, it was not something typical citizens came in contact with. They were fairly low key. That's gone now, or at least to the extent that no one is aware of. Like I say, it's a great place to live. We don't have all the nonsense that's going on in other places like Portland etc.

I love your comment. U is so right. That was somethan eles wow.

My first thought was the mayor was involved. When the two guys went to check on the couple he sent the other guy to go up to the house to check it out while he went next door to ask the neighbor if they'd seen the couple recently. That was suspicious!
A corrupt politician? Gee, shocked.

Pete Halat is literally like a villain from a film, also love how he becomes the evil mayor later in the story.
That's exactly what I thought too,

@@amp279 That's a good shout, the actor playing him in this is clearly being completely over the top as well 😂
Halat is an utterly fascinating character. The real Halat far more charismatic and evil/powerful than the guy they had play him in this recreation. Bell is a true hero.
@@prorespluscom When I was young and working at the sheriff's department, I worked with Halat's mother. She was WILD, and her son's behavior does not surprise me. I recall her telling me that her son was going to be a judge, and of course she was proud and should be. Halat was rotten through and through.

Sheri LaRa Sharpe was released in 2002
John Ransom was released from prison in 2003 and died Feb 2006
Thomas Holcomb (the hitman) died in prison in 2005 at the age of 52
Pete Halat served 15 years and released from prison on 2012 at 69 years of age.
Kirksey McCord Nix Jr. is still incarcerated
Have always found an interesting juxtaposition between the rough and gruff delivery of series host and ex-FBI man Jim Kallstrom and the silky smooth dulcet tones of narrator Tony Call. Great show!
I can't get over the hitman ringing the doorbell.
What other options did he have to make a discrete killing? Whenever I do a hit, I always ring the doorbell, and explains that I have to shoot him/her.
Oftentimes I use yhe old trick of delivering flowers, but that means that I need a little flower truck with "Acme Flowers" on the sides.

During my life Biloxi was never a sleepy southern town.
Lol
You should have come to Moss Point.
But you're right Biloxi was never sleepy or quiet. Especially in the 90's because there were a lot of popular clubs and too many drug dealers.
@@kivatimia1376 That's the thing about "sleepy" little towns. They all have their secrets.
It still isn’t
Scotch for breakfast? Then drove to the judges house. I smell a guilty suspect.
You have the silencer wrong. it was homemade plastic bottle stuffed with foam rubber. see the book "Mississippi Mud"
Mississippi mud is a great fudge too
I once turned a girl down from Mississippi because I was married and she had asked, "why I don't want any of that Mississippi mud"? I guess that pretty little southern girl was going to make some fudge for me!
I was hoping to see the smirch wiped off of Peter Halat's face.
Update on a couple of the fellas in this episode:
---Halat served a bit over 15 years and was released in 2013, at the age of 70.
---after suffering a near-fatal heart attack, Bobby J. Fabian was transferred from Louisiana to Mississippi custody in 2009. He said in an interview that he didn't "even want to get out... I just want to lay low until I die."
---Mike Gillich served 9 of his 20-year sentence and was released in 2000. He died in 2012.
---John Ransom served 12 years in jail and was given his freedom in 2003. He passed away in his Georgia home in 2006.
Tooo Lenient.... :(
I wonder why so little time in prison?????

I swear in all movies 90s and prior, any male in a notably prominent position (Lawyer, investigator, judge, mayor, congressman, Wall Street exec, CEO etc) the roles ALWAYS included crystal short glasses with scotch or whiskey and usually lighting a cigarette- ALWAYS WHILE working , ALWAYS in their offices LOL
That’s a LOT of Alcoholics ON the job overseeing some pretty important stuff
@@rockyrox495 And always wearing suspenders.
I find it interesting how on all of the “cop” shows, down to Blue Bloods (which I really love to watch), they ALL drink scotch... Even Erin, as Frank Reagan’s daughter and ADA of New York, is always swigging down a glass of scotch after the weekly family dinners or if she comes over to discuss a problem in her life. Nicky, Erin’s daughter, even starts drinking scotch, once she’s old enough, after having a bad day/week. I really wonder if drinking scotch is truly a thing cops, detectives, lawyers, etc. actually engage in. There isn’t a “cop” show out there that doesn’t show them drinking scotch! I’m thinking this must go on a lot or it wouldn’t be in SO MANY TV shows! Bleh! I can’t stand the taste of scotch! Now my 72 year old Dad will drink a small glass of scotch here and there but mostly when one of my brothers come over and they’re schmoozing. They even light up a cigar occasionally! I’ve been invited in to partake in drinking some scotch and puffing on a good cigar but it’s just not for me! I’ve tried a few cigars throughout the years because my Dad thinks they are sooo good so I’ve tried a puff here and there just to make him happy😆 My Dad, brothers nor I smoke cigarettes but I guess drinking some scotch and puffing on a cigar is an act of bonding with one another. My Dad was the Volunteer Fire Station “Chief” in the 70’s and 80’s and was also a Volunteer EMT. Maybe that has something to do with it? I don’t really drink but when I do I prefer a dark beer! Anyway, I just thought it was interesting how you “Dale Anderson” noticed the same thing! God Bless! ✝️😇. Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴
That inmate informant is the one who solved this case for the cops, i hope they at least put a twenty on his commissary! LMAO 😆
Too many players in this case I completely lost track of the names. Didn't know who was who again.
I don't know how they can keep track of so many small puzzle pieces from all over the place. I had to rewind parts of it several times just to keep up! Took 'em a while but they nailed them all.
I've seen many complaints about the ads. Just advance the video to the end and reinitiate it. Ads gone. Very interesting video. To clean that rampant corruption was very difficult. Congratulations
Or just pay for UA-cam premium, no more ads. Wow!
It doesn’t seem to work on mobile - either way, more than half the video is ads, you need to rewind after an interruption to go back and refresh what just took place
@@AnnikaOBrien Go to the last 10 seconds of the video and let it finish on its own, provided it isn't part of a playlist, then once the video finishes, cancel the next video up and move the slider to the beginning.

Brilliant police work.

@@theresahenderson3534 if a persons first scene in a murder case show involves drinking spirits while on the job. It's almost a given that person a bad guy.
Beware to the people who give the eulogy. Halat took the gaslighting from satan itself, funny politician of today also uses gaslighting using racism! They do evil things and accuses their opponents, bribing money and gaslighting!
Great movie !
Extremely tough job of law enforcement people, God bless them all.
My friend, this is not a movie. This is a documentary that really happened
That’s why they sit outside of schools while little kids are being killed, lying there in there own blood waiting for the police to come save them. Abolish the police, ACAB

The actor portraying Halat is hilarious. Especially his expression when he calls the judge's house.

Hilarious as in shit.?
It seems as if no matter what the scene is, he acts overdramatic. 😄😂
Actor portraying Nix is even worse...did you see him in court nearly whoop his lawyer’s ass? “What do I pay you for “
He’s legendary Dj The Grease Man Doug Tracht. A real character. Wild guy
I was suspicious of Pete Halat from the very beginning. Asking the guy who accompanied him to go check the house while he went and questioned the neighbors is NOT something a concerned friend would do. When he went in the house and saw judge sherry laying on the floor dead, he shouted “Vincent and Margaret are dead!” How the hell did he know Margaret was dead if he never went into the back bedroom and found her body? Highly suspicious! Halat should have realized that the cops would eventually learn about his role in the murders. When the cops were removing the bodies from the house, Halat didn’t seem concerned at all. Still, I’m glad that evil monster is behind bars.
Me too, the minute they showed Haley.

Hard Rock casino not planet Hollywood
Are there night clubs pawn shops and strip clubs there
You knew that Pete Halat was involved as soon as he asked his underling to go to the door and check on them while he spoke to the neighbors. That made zero sense. How could cops not realize that? You're checking on your friend and you send your employee to do it when you're in the driveway?!? I knew he was involved the second that went down.
Exactly!!
I'm sure some of the cops probably did realize that, but law enforcement was corrupt and, to a great extent, controlled by the Dixie Mafia. It was all connected.
It all unravels from dealings with Sweatman & a 'long thought gone' stolen plate.
This was "My FBI" Great work by K. Bell in this tragic case. Outstanding Episode !👍
What a wonderful story of love n dedication
I suspected Pete Halat from he:
1. Ask to be accompanied to check on the judge.
2. Went to the house and decided to talk to the neighbors and not gone inside or try to, he didn't want to be the one first in the house.
Yeah, his mistake was saying Margaret was dead when he couldn't possibly know.
@15:49 that ain't no Fairmont it's a crown Victoria police must couldn't get one for the video 🤣
The very moment I laid my eyes on Halat, I knew he was somehow, involved in the murders of the judge, his colleague & his wife, merely by his conduct : the statement he made that, the judge & his wife were both dead, as I learnt later, sealed my suspicion. Prior to that, I had felt if he really did care, he would have gone into the house first & not sent the one with him to face the horrific scene he knew would confront him. Reason I felt it could be Halat, was that I instinctively felt that, an act of jealousy of a colleague at work could possibly underpin the murders & when his conduct foot that suspicion, I was through with it. What then followed was building up evidence in support, which eventually, was unravelled by the investigative team, who were relentlessly on his trail. A very good job.
They gave it away by showing Halat drinking a tall glass of iced scotch at 8 AM in his introductory shot. I remember thinking it was bizarre, because why would Pete Halat give permission for his story to be used if there was a scene like that?
sadly biloxi was turned into a casino town and most likely there are at least 3 or 4 different crime gangs killing and corrupting everyone in town. I think i would have rather have no casinos or strip clubs in my town. anyone else feel that way?
I live here, but I haven't heard that. There are no strip clubs here anymore. If the casino's here ever had mob connections, that was something from many decades ago. They're all legit BIG names like MGM etc...no, before the casino's there was PLENTY of that. Nearly every bar had a backroom card game, and slot machines, as well as prostitution, and of course quite a few strip clubs. That all was declining by the time of this murder case. Of course crime never goes away. Somebody somewhere is doing something. But you wont see it here now.
Thats half the fun u want to get rid of... So hellll no!
@@patherron3247 you describe it exactly as it was and as it is now. There was DEFINITELY more crime and corruption before the real casinos came to town. No question. I'm from there myself.
@@scottladner8249 that's a fact we have less crime now that they have legalized gambling. That and the fact that most of the mafia is dead and who's not in prison
Actually John and reality we have less crime now that the gambling casinos have been legalized,! That and the fact that most of the mafia is dead or in jail
After seeing what happened to their illustrious Mayor, how people in Biloxi could have embraced gambling and it's underbelly--organized crime--in their city is unbelievable.
Goes to show how sick people and society really are, they were murdered because of that demand.
I vaguely remember this crime, so I was happy to see this video.
Oh how America could benefit nowhere from more dedicated law enforcement officers and investigators.

Great comments.... Damn I wanna play but all I can hearing my head is Steve Perry singing oh Sherry...
In addition to what they mentioned at 30:06, I also thought it was odd that Halat went to ask the neighbors if they had seen the judge and his wife before seeing if they answered the door.
My thought was that the killer hit the gun close by the house and that was the reason that he walked off of the porch to go talk to the neighbor because the killer wouldn’t of took the weapon with him he would have hideing it somewhere close
He petty for that

@Jason Bouphasavanh I guess we get what we pay for. Lol
@Jason Bouphasavanh geez,then get an ad blocker. its free. i dunno why people whinge about ads when it takes fuck all time to install an ad blocker.
Halat looks so suspicious from the get go!
Unctuous. No doubt
First off he's a damn alcoholic, sipping on Scotch in the morning in the office
Tiffany go look at - Murdered in Mississippi on Facebook if you want to see his cowardly face.
Fast forward to the end let last ad play rewind no more ads
If this series has actors who impersonate the characters it does a very good job with casting; Halat gave off a creepy vibe from the beginning.
I enjoy this series!
nice, i am friend's with the Venus family down here. George and David Venus, it's their daddy was the shot caller in this dixie mafia. George has told me many storys of Biloxi's past and now finally i get to see a documentary about it. How cool is that :)
Is the “Dixie Mafia” still operating anywhere in the South? Just curious! I know that most of the Italian Mob no longer exists except in parts of Chicago. I just watched a couple documentaries about it all.😁
That's a fact very correct Robby it was DJ and sheriff Leroy they ran the town and the mafia Google Dewey D'Angelo read what they did to him
They are everywhere mostly in politics and I’m not joking
The Sherrys were outsiders. Neither of them had been born in Biloxi or lived there any longer than his time at Keesler AFB in the last few years of his career. They had absolutely no ties whatsoever to the community. But Margaret Sherry in particular wanted to run the city. Margaret was on the city council and tried to override everything natives of the Coast who were on the council wanted. There had never been a time when there were not strip clubs and bars in an Air Force Base town. No one asked her to "save the City of Biloxi." Vincent Sherry embezzled a client's money while the client was in jail. Bottom line: the Sherrys went into a town and tried to control everything and run the lives of natives of the area. His embezzlement proved he was no saint either. Who died and made Margaret Sherry God? Their actions put them on a collision course with the people of Biloxi. Some of the people of Biloxi were more dangerous than others. The man whose money was embezzled asked the daughter for forgiveness in the end. Perhaps if the Sherrys had not attempted to take over the City of Biloxi and enforce what they wanted on everyone else and perhaps if "the Judge" hadn't taken someone else's money, this would never have happened? The killers paid their debt to society. The City of Biloxi suffered when it should not have. Nobody was a winner in this situation.
The story goes deeper than the video portrays. Heck, man, is it Destiney or Karma. It is a strange story though.
Tell me you’re ignorant without saying you’re ignorant
Well Beth there's a reason why few come to Mississippi. The most racist State.
Is this justification for the Sherrys to be murdered?
@@spiffyspice3724 no but it amounts to motive; which is what the documentary centered around - a lack of motive. Keep up, sunshine.
4:50 that dude poured himself a drink and the answered the phone and said good morning!!! Hahah😂😂😂
that's why there are unsolved crimes...the doofus get's into the car and immediately starts running his hands over surfaces, contaminating everything.
@EmBowker “there is blood all over the house, sir”
“Hmmm Gross, mop it up. Now back to my hunch “ (loved your comment aha check out John Mulaney’s stand up, he jokes about this stuff all the time)
The true investigators they give time and effort to solve the crimes even it takes a long time to search who are the real criminals. Congrats and God bless them.
Pooke
This was before the Democrats destroyd The FBI.
FBI now is a joke. A corrupted joke. Period.
@@onklandim727 Can I have some of the orange Kool-Aid you're drinking?
Unfortunately, the police wouldn't have ever solved the murders had it not been for their daughter's dogged determination to solve the crime. She knew what happened and pushed this with private investigation. Corruption on the Gulf Coast runs rampant. Lynne Sposito, the Sherrys' daughter, is the one to thank for solving the murders. www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1994-09-26-9409260013-story.html
It's crazy how the "Suspect car" and the "Investigators car" are similar lol
Same color make and model
That's some " old school sh*t" starting at about 4:00. Don Draper style 🤣
The second halat and his friend went to chech on sherry's, peter halat the major goes to ask the neighbours and sends his friend to check on sherry's that's very suspicious, a big lead,plus I think there is much more to his arrest and conviction than they say,nowhere does it say that if he still was a major or not,I believe he wasn't, they waited for him to finish his term then charge him ,this story's fishy, I feel sorry for sherry's.
You should be arrested for butchering the English language
firstly what is chech? secondly when did they say he was a major? I heard them say mayor but not major... but yes he was supposedly best mates with the judge, yet he goes to talk to the neighbour? yeah not suspicious at all... he knew what they would find, while he also said that they're both dead, how would he have known both of them were dead if he was in the house for mere seconds, unless he was involved... he along with the others involved should have got longer jail time, an absolute joke...
@@21_f_aus misspelled mate, bet you are english language teacher,we not all as smart as some people,
@@latumoala2936 you giving english lessons now ,are you? At least I speak and understand and white good enough another 3 languages apart from english ,how many can you, smart ass
Sure is.. I can assure you no one understand anything you are meant to say here
it was a great episode of the fbi files,i watch the show sometime. And i think is a great tv show, i'm curious to see more.😉
I have lived all my life since 72’ and remember all this going on in 9th grade so seeing this video looks so weird with all these photos of Biloxi before Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
It’s sad seeing the Homes on Highway 90 not being there anymore. What a major disaster Katrina was for the Mississippi Coast.
I lived on the Gulf Coast from 1973 to 1979 and really loved the charm of it. But I see it as a beautiful venomous snake; the snake is charming and beautiful but deadly if you mess with it. However, if I could, I'd still go back there.
There is literally a commercial break every three to four minutes! Reminded me why I don’t watch anything on this particular channel. Boooo! 👎🏼
it's called ad block +. Put it on your phone. Put it on your PC and STFU. It's free
Fast forward to end then hit replay and no ads. You're welcome
@@vadermt5073 if folks are too stupid to figure that out, then let them watch the ad's :)
I never see any ads, as Ad-blocker is my friend!
Hit the skip button..
So sad mr. Kallstrom RIP. Mr. Kallstrom you were a wonderful example of the FBI. CLASSY PROFESSIONAL STATURE. INTELLIGENT
15:50 leans against a part of the car that is one of the best places to get fingerprints. Rubs jacket on it to get them off.
Thankfully the investigators gathered the evidence before the cameras started filming a re-enactment LOL good catch though!
I wish there were a few more ads 🙄
Drag the red ball across the screen and pull it back to start it should get rid of the adds....
No ads when I watched it.
ads every 2 minutes. love it
You know how to avoid them dont you ? 2 second fix
use firefox and download adblocker it works nicely
@@David-Zita True although I have a hack that's quicker. When the actual episode starts playing, drag the red thing that shows you how much time you have left all the way to the end and then hit the replay in the middle of the screen and it starts it all over again BUT without the ads. 😁👍🙂
That’s why they offer “Ad Free” UA-cam Premium at 15.99 a month plus the good ol Tax!
I love these accents.
