Sounds like a movie, right? This was the reality for many employees who encountered the notorious Roof Man, who orchestrated his heists with unsettling calmness.

Inside the Las Vegas Hilton, now known as the Westgate, a fire broke out on February 10, 1981, and quickly turned into a disaster that killed eight people and injured hundreds more.

At first, a young busboy was seen as a hero. He reported the fire, tried to stop it, and warned guests. But as investigators began digging deeper, his story started to change.

And what they uncovered raised a much bigger question. Was this an accident… or something far more deliberate?

This is the story of the Hilton fire, the investigation that followed, and the man at the center of it all.

In this episode, you can expect a deep dive into the life of 17-year-old Betty Williams, from her home life and emotional struggles to the way she was perceived in a small, tightly wound community that didn’t quite know what to do with her. We walk through her relationship with John “Mack” Herring, the breakup that changed everything, and the warning signs that, looking back, feel impossible to ignore.

From there, we break down the night Betty was last seen alive, Mack’s shifting story and eventual confession, and the disturbing discovery that followed.

But this case doesn’t stop at what happened.

Hunter and Jacob unpack the trial, the use of the temporary insanity defense, and how a small town’s perception may have influenced the outcome long before the verdict was ever read.

This is one of those cases where the facts are there… but the truth still feels just out of reach.
