Wrongful Conviction

June 3, 2026

In the woods outside Carmel, New York, a hunter finds the bones of a twelve-year-old girl. She had been missing. The people meant to protect her had looked the other way. Police set their sights on two teenage drug dealers, who are convicted of her murder and sent to prison.

In the moment, it felt like it was going on forever.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:06)
I didn't think I was going to live. I was terrified.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:11)
There was no anything inside those eyes, nothing.
They turned black. It scared the hell out of me.

**Paul Solotaroff** (0:23)
That was your first murder case?

**SPEAKER_5** (0:24)
Yes, sir.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:25)
Fear to say this was the biggest case of your career?

**SPEAKER_5** (0:27)
Yes, sir.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:28)
Rape and murder from 12 year old children.

**Paul Solotaroff** (0:29)
As bad as it gets.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:31)
I would think so.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:34)
They were all troubled, every single one of them.
People, wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder take place by Krivak and De Pippo.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:46)
Anthony De Pippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:52)
I said I'm not guilty.

**Paul Solotaroff** (0:53)
I'll take it to the grave.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:59)
He had prior knowledge of all his victims. They were also found with clothing stuff down their throat. And two of them were also taken into the woods, just like in this case. Put that together.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:12)
He killed a version of me that I can never get back.

**Paul Solotaroff** (1:17)
I'm Paul Solotaroff, and for 33 years I've written for Rolling Stone Magazine. I go after racist cops who shoot and kill on our black kids. I investigate neo-Nazis bent on genocide, and social media tech lords who look the other way, while the cartels poison children on their platforms. When you write those kinds of stories, one after another, you build a layer of callous around your heart. But this story broke the skin and will not give me peace. I keep hearing the voices of girls who warn the cops about a demon, a hunter of girls hiding in the woods.
In 2021, I'd have laughed in your face if you'd ask me about the devil.
