Weeks into the process, an early morning 911 call led Police to a high school football field, where they discovered the body of one of the Pledges. Months later, the damning footage from video cameras, cell phones and campus security cameras found its way to Director Rev. jeff obafemi carr, who amalgamated it into the explosive movie titled He Ain't Heavy.
