Where is Jack Truitt now? All about Hadden Clark's cellmate from Born Evil: The Serial Killer and the Savior

Convicted murderer Hadden Clark met Jack Truitt at the Eastern Correctional Institution in Westover, Maryland, in the 1990s. The two men were sharing a cell where Clark proceeded to confess his heinous crimes to Truitt who played a vital role in guiding these confessions and helping law enforcement piece together some of Clark's unsolved crimes. This help resulted in Truitt's release from prison.

Today, Jack Truitt is a free man living in Salisbury, Maryland. He became an advocate of social causes, taking up a second chance at life. His is a redemption story, and the transformation from an inmate to an advocate was covered in the docuseries series Born Evil: The Serial Killer and the Savior.

Hadden Clark reportedly believed Jack was Jesus Christ and progressively confessed to the brutal crimes he committed, including the murder of 6-year-old Michele Dorr. After the sensational case, Truitt's life took an unexpected turn. His cooperation with the authorities led a Maryland detective to argue on his behalf at his parole hearing, leading to his release.

Hadden Clark believed Jack Truitt was Jesus Christ

When Jack Truitt met Hadden Clark behind prison bars at the Eastern Correctional Institution, Clark was a convicted murderer with unusual behavior. He then strangely came to believe that Jack was Jesus Christ.

This led Clark to confess to Truitt his various misdeeds, including the details of several murders he had perpetrated. Among these confessions was the murder of Michele Dorr, a 6-year-old girl who had been missing since 1986. Clark also went on a wild goose chase with investigators, promising to show them where their victims were buried but gave little substantial evidence of it.

Truitt was able to force Clark into confessing his crimes, which became one of the integral parts in solving parts of these cold cases.

Release and redemption of Jack Truitt

Jack Truitt's part in Hadden Clark's case did not go unnoticed by law enforcement. The result of his great cooperation and the role he played in uncovering Clark's confessions impressed Detective Joe Gamble enough to go out on a limb to advocate his release.

Truitt had been serving a life sentence for a murder he swore he had not committed. Gamble's support, as well as Truitt's seeming rehabilitation, earned him a 2010 parole hearing that reduced his sentence. Already having served 36 years, Truitt was allowed to walk out of prison that day. From prisoner to free man, his life had taken quite a turn.
