48 HOURS: At age 12, Rick Ennis confessed to murdering his mother and his stepfather in Alabama. 13 years later, he became the prime suspect in the disappearance of Auburn University graduate Lori Slesinski. Watch this story tonight at 9 on CBS 8. ...
On March 5, 1993, 12-year-old Rick Ennis was walking at night along a dark Alabama highway, not far from Montgomery. He had just crashed his family's car on the side of the road, against a fence, and was on foot heading home.
"The first thing I pull out is a kitchen knife," Clark said."There's some 12-gauge and some 22-caliber loose ammunition in the bottom of the bag." Clark says that admission set in motion a string of activity that ended with local police in Montgomery going into Ennis' home, where they discovered the bodies of his mother, Dolly, and his stepfather, Eddie Joe Flowers. The couple had met in church and were married only 10 months.
"She called me around 6:30 and said, I'm going to stop by the store, pick up the drink mixes, and then I'll be headed to your house," Braun continued."And then the phone rang about 30 minutes later. It rang once or twice. I answered, no one was there.""Never," Braun replied. Slesinski was not there. And there was something else that was strange: When she let Peanut out of his crate, Braun said he seemed happy and well fed. And his crate was clean, as though someone had taken care of him, even though Lori was gone for nearly three days."Something's terribly wrong ... There is no way she would have left Peanut."
Police initially treated Slesinski's disappearance as a missing persons case. Lee County District Attorney Jessica Ventiere explained that, in Auburn, which is a major college football town, young people may"go off" and"be missing for a little while, but they come back."Four days after she went missing, Lori Ann Slesinski's car was found engulfed in flames on a deserted street. But she was still nowhere to be found.
