One day Tom Cooley and his buddies (Max Liston and Gavin) invited Mary Louie to a party where they proceeded to gang-rape her and almost bury her alive. They managed to get away with this Scott free as Tom Cooley's parents owned the town and no one would believe Mary due to her promiscuous behavior in High school.
After this Tom Cooley decided to become a fully-fledged rapist and murderer who claimed the lives of 8 women by the time of the episode. He also kept in touch with his two friends who were rumored to be partially involved in the killings.
