Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,657 --> 00:00:05,207
- The body of a woman has
been found at Whiskey Bay.
2
00:00:05,246 --> 00:00:06,626
- It was pretty tense here.
3
00:00:06,661 --> 00:00:08,351
- Who's next?
4
00:00:08,387 --> 00:00:11,667
- This killer was attacking
all over South Louisiana.
5
00:00:11,701 --> 00:00:14,291
The panic level skyrocketed.
6
00:00:14,324 --> 00:00:15,814
- There's a monster out there.
7
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:19,230
- These were women
going about their lives
8
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:21,680
and being murdered in a
violent and brutal way.
9
00:00:21,711 --> 00:00:24,371
- It did make you
look around to wonder,
10
00:00:24,403 --> 00:00:27,613
could it be someone that
I'd come in contact with?
11
00:00:27,648 --> 00:00:30,688
- There are witnesses that
came forward that said
12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,760
they saw a white male
13
00:00:32,791 --> 00:00:35,761
and that this white male
was driving a white truck.
14
00:00:35,794 --> 00:00:37,874
- And then that was a
guy named Dr. Fanakas
15
00:00:37,899 --> 00:00:40,699
outta Florida that said
he can take that DNA
16
00:00:40,730 --> 00:00:43,280
and tell the race of
the person from the DNA.
17
00:00:43,319 --> 00:00:45,629
That changed the
whole trajectory,
18
00:00:45,666 --> 00:00:48,666
the whole concept of
what we were looking for.
19
00:00:48,703 --> 00:00:51,193
- An arrest warrant
has been issued
20
00:00:51,223 --> 00:00:54,543
for the arrest of
Derrick Todd Lee.
21
00:00:54,571 --> 00:00:57,641
- When we heard that
Derrick Todd Lee was caught,
22
00:00:57,678 --> 00:01:00,578
it's like a weight had been
lifted off of all of us.
23
00:01:00,612 --> 00:01:03,272
- Little did they know what
was about to come next.
24
00:01:04,443 --> 00:01:09,413
♪ The call me the
butcher in the Bayou ♪
25
00:01:10,622 --> 00:01:15,282
♪ They call me the

00:01:16,524 --> 00:01:21,084

00:01:22,254 --> 00:01:24,914

♪ The butcher in

[intense country music]
30
00:01:39,754 --> 00:01:42,794
- When we heard that
Derrick Todd Lee was caught,
31
00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:46,900
it's like a weight had been
lifted off of all of us.
32
00:01:46,934 --> 00:01:49,424
It was like, there was a
blanket over our community,
33
00:01:49,454 --> 00:01:51,594
just a blanket of
fear that was like
34
00:01:51,628 --> 00:01:52,798
somebody kind of pulled it off
35
00:01:52,836 --> 00:01:54,836
and you could finally
breathe again.
36
00:01:56,771 --> 00:02:00,641
- It was like suddenly,
he was in prison,
37
00:02:00,672 --> 00:02:02,362
we didn't have to worry anymore.
38
00:02:02,398 --> 00:02:04,638
We didn't have to be scared
to walk to our vehicle.
39
00:02:04,676 --> 00:02:06,746
We didn't have to be scared
to go to bed at night.
40
00:02:06,781 --> 00:02:09,341
We didn't have to be
scared to take a bath
41
00:02:09,370 --> 00:02:13,510
because this man who
perpetrated such horrific crimes
42
00:02:13,547 --> 00:02:15,717
was behind bars
where he belonged.
43
00:02:16,964 --> 00:02:19,174
- It's like a whole
different city.
44
00:02:19,208 --> 00:02:20,548
People out riding their bikes,
45
00:02:20,588 --> 00:02:22,898
people are walking their
dogs, people are jogging
46
00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:25,555
and none of this was going
on in this neighborhood
47
00:02:25,593 --> 00:02:26,943
before this guy was caught.
48
00:02:26,974 --> 00:02:30,814
So it was very much
affecting women's lifestyles.
49
00:02:32,738 --> 00:02:34,668
- People were very relieved.
50
00:02:34,706 --> 00:02:36,876
I especially was
relieved to feel like
51
00:02:36,915 --> 00:02:39,915
we could just maybe go
back to life as usual.
52
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:43,820
- There weren't a whole
lot of people that said
53
00:02:43,853 --> 00:02:45,513
they were shocked.
54
00:02:45,544 --> 00:02:47,244
A lot of times you'll see,
oh, I never saw that coming.
55
00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:50,580
But with this case, once
he was named a suspect,
56
00:02:50,618 --> 00:02:51,828
a lot of people were like,
57
00:02:51,861 --> 00:02:54,861
okay, now I see
it, now I get it.
58
00:02:56,417 --> 00:02:58,317
- My life had been so disrupted,
59
00:02:58,350 --> 00:03:01,770
the life of everybody I
knew had been so disrupted
60
00:03:01,802 --> 00:03:03,872
that I was really
angry with him.
61
00:03:03,907 --> 00:03:05,977
I didn't wanna have
anything to do with him,
62
00:03:06,013 --> 00:03:08,463
but I was interested
in his background.
63
00:03:08,498 --> 00:03:11,188
What made him become
what he became?
64
00:03:12,019 --> 00:03:14,709
[eerie music]
65
00:03:16,748 --> 00:03:19,818
[sad music]
66
00:03:19,854 --> 00:03:22,244
- He had a little bit
of a troubled past.
67
00:03:22,271 --> 00:03:25,241
Just looking down through the
years at his police record
68
00:03:25,274 --> 00:03:26,724
and things of that nature.
69
00:03:26,758 --> 00:03:30,618
But I personally never
had any problems with him.
70
00:03:30,658 --> 00:03:32,448
My mom taught Derrick in school.
71
00:03:32,488 --> 00:03:34,418
He was a few years
younger than me.
72
00:03:34,455 --> 00:03:36,975
So he would also
frequent my mom's bar
73
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:39,939
when he was of age
on the weekends,
74
00:03:39,978 --> 00:03:41,808
but never gave us any trouble
75
00:03:41,842 --> 00:03:44,532
other than maybe once or twice.
76
00:03:47,054 --> 00:03:48,784
- One police officer told me
77
00:03:48,814 --> 00:03:51,964
that while he was
surveilling Derrick Todd Lee,
78
00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:54,720
he watched Derrick
Todd Lee go into a bar,
79
00:03:54,751 --> 00:03:58,451
pick up a woman,
bring her to a motel,
80
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:00,899
do whatever, bring
her back to the bar,
81
00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:04,000
pick up another one, bring
her to the same motel,
82
00:04:04,036 --> 00:04:05,656
have his way with her,
83
00:04:05,693 --> 00:04:08,423
go back to the bar and
pick up a third one.
84
00:04:08,455 --> 00:04:11,315
He watched this in one night.
85
00:04:11,354 --> 00:04:13,874
Derrick Todd Lee
could get women.
86
00:04:13,908 --> 00:04:17,908
He had a wife and two children
and he had a girlfriend,
87
00:04:17,947 --> 00:04:22,327
Cassandra Green, and he
had a son with her as well.
88
00:04:23,987 --> 00:04:27,367
- He was involved
with Cassandra Green.
89
00:04:27,405 --> 00:04:30,025
He got into a
confrontation with her
90
00:04:30,062 --> 00:04:32,002
at my mom's bar one night.
91
00:04:33,031 --> 00:04:35,311
This is the old Liz's lounge.
92
00:04:35,344 --> 00:04:37,044
This is a bar that
Derrick frequented.
93
00:04:37,069 --> 00:04:39,969
He brought different women
in at different times.
94
00:04:40,003 --> 00:04:42,833
As you can see, that sign
has been painted over,
95
00:04:42,868 --> 00:04:43,898
but come close.
96
00:04:45,077 --> 00:04:47,557
If you see what it says,
97
00:04:47,597 --> 00:04:51,707
it says Liz's Lounge,
where good friends meet.
98
00:04:51,739 --> 00:04:53,329
It's hard to see it.
99
00:04:53,362 --> 00:04:54,812
No miners were allowed,
100
00:04:54,846 --> 00:04:57,536
admission on Fridays
was $3 back then,
101
00:04:57,573 --> 00:04:59,993
Saturdays was five bucks.
102
00:05:00,023 --> 00:05:01,543
It says no weapons,
103
00:05:01,577 --> 00:05:04,887
no outside drinks
allowed in the building.
104
00:05:04,925 --> 00:05:06,995
You will be checked at the door.
105
00:05:07,030 --> 00:05:08,860
We did everything we could
106
00:05:09,999 --> 00:05:11,659
to ensure the safety of people
107
00:05:11,690 --> 00:05:12,760
that wanted to come here.
108
00:05:12,795 --> 00:05:15,515
This was a place where they
could have a good time,
109
00:05:15,556 --> 00:05:19,076
go home and regroup
for work the next week,
110
00:05:19,111 --> 00:05:23,051
come back on the weekend
and unwind without drama.
111
00:05:25,083 --> 00:05:27,573
This is where his confrontation
with Cassandra Green
112
00:05:27,603 --> 00:05:30,743
was on this parking lot,
right in this area right here.
113
00:05:30,778 --> 00:05:32,778
He commenced a beating,
her stomping her,
114
00:05:32,815 --> 00:05:35,365
she ultimately went inside,
115
00:05:35,404 --> 00:05:38,994
she ended up hiding behind
the DJ in the DJ booth
116
00:05:39,028 --> 00:05:40,818
laying down on the floor,
117
00:05:40,857 --> 00:05:42,127
he went back in looking for her,
118
00:05:42,169 --> 00:05:43,789
he couldn't find her,
119
00:05:43,826 --> 00:05:46,516
he ultimately left
and he ended up
120
00:05:46,553 --> 00:05:48,073
in a pursuit with the police
121
00:05:48,106 --> 00:05:50,696
and they ended up ultimately
arresting him at that time.
122
00:05:52,041 --> 00:05:53,941
- From all accounts of
people that knew him
123
00:05:53,974 --> 00:05:55,944
and that talked about
him after the fact
124
00:05:55,976 --> 00:05:58,526
said he was very nice,
he was very charming
125
00:05:58,565 --> 00:06:01,145
and maybe that was
what, you know,
126
00:06:01,188 --> 00:06:02,668
made people open
their door to him.
127
00:06:02,707 --> 00:06:03,877
I'm not really sure.
128
00:06:05,123 --> 00:06:07,403
- Derrick Todd Lee may
have targeted women
129
00:06:07,436 --> 00:06:10,916
who might have been naive
to something like that.
130
00:06:10,956 --> 00:06:12,476
Somebody that grew up like me,
131
00:06:12,510 --> 00:06:14,930
who really didn't have
a reason to suspect
132
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,960
someone of wanting
to do harm to them.
133
00:06:18,861 --> 00:06:20,211
- He may not have been educated,
134
00:06:20,241 --> 00:06:22,041
but I thought he was very savvy,
135
00:06:22,071 --> 00:06:24,211
very manipulative, very smart,
136
00:06:24,245 --> 00:06:27,865
and in my world,
somebody like that
137
00:06:27,904 --> 00:06:31,744
that turns to
crime is dangerous.
138
00:06:31,770 --> 00:06:34,430
[thunder claps]
139
00:06:36,154 --> 00:06:38,644
- After Derrick Todd
Lee was arrested,
140
00:06:38,674 --> 00:06:43,024
police began to try to connect
him to other cold cases.
141
00:06:43,057 --> 00:06:47,097
At that time in Baton Rouge
over a 10 year period,
142
00:06:47,130 --> 00:06:50,930
there were 60 cases of missing
or murdered unsolved cases
143
00:06:50,962 --> 00:06:52,862
in the Baton Rouge area.
144
00:06:52,895 --> 00:06:55,545
It wasn't long before
everyone discovered
145
00:06:55,587 --> 00:06:57,447
that there were more victims.
146
00:06:58,487 --> 00:07:00,627
- Derrick Lee
unfortunately was lucky.
147
00:07:00,661 --> 00:07:02,111
He got away with a lot of stuff.
148
00:07:02,145 --> 00:07:04,105
There were chances where
he should have been caught,
149
00:07:04,147 --> 00:07:06,117
that he was able to
slip through the cracks.
150
00:07:06,149 --> 00:07:07,699
- There are still some cases
151
00:07:07,737 --> 00:07:10,977
that I think should be
connected to Derrick Todd Lee
152
00:07:11,016 --> 00:07:14,086
and have not, Christine
Moore being the most notable.
153
00:07:15,711 --> 00:07:19,161
- Another case which was not
attributed to Derrick Todd Lee
154
00:07:19,197 --> 00:07:22,717
in any way, the case
of Geralyn Barr DeSoto
155
00:07:22,752 --> 00:07:26,142
in West Baton Rouge Parish,
in the small town of Addis.
156
00:07:26,169 --> 00:07:30,549
She was one of his earlier
victims in the Baton Rouge area.
157
00:07:30,588 --> 00:07:32,178
She was an LSU student,
158
00:07:32,210 --> 00:07:34,590
she was young, 21,
159
00:07:34,626 --> 00:07:37,906
she was married
to Darren DeSoto,
160
00:07:39,010 --> 00:07:42,120
she was not very
happy in her marriage
161
00:07:42,151 --> 00:07:45,091
according to a
journal that she kept.
162
00:07:47,881 --> 00:07:50,921
- What threw the wrench into
the DeSoto investigation
163
00:07:50,953 --> 00:07:52,163
were two things.
164
00:07:52,195 --> 00:07:54,225
One, that she was not
sexually assaulted.
165
00:07:54,266 --> 00:07:58,096
And the investigators
believe that Lee
166
00:07:58,132 --> 00:08:00,552
probably intended to
sexually assault her
167
00:08:00,583 --> 00:08:02,143
like he did the other women,
168
00:08:02,171 --> 00:08:04,931
but her husband was calling her
169
00:08:04,967 --> 00:08:07,067
on her cell phone repeatedly.
170
00:08:07,107 --> 00:08:07,937
Like she wouldn't answer,
171
00:08:07,970 --> 00:08:09,520
then he'd hang up,
he'd call back,
172
00:08:09,558 --> 00:08:11,148
then he'd hang up
and he'd call back.
173
00:08:11,180 --> 00:08:13,560
And it just threw him off.
174
00:08:13,596 --> 00:08:16,216
And then additionally,
the information they found
175
00:08:16,254 --> 00:08:18,574
in her journal about her,
176
00:08:18,601 --> 00:08:21,851
you know, her husband
physically abusing her,
177
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,710
the police, you know, tended
to focus on him as a suspect.
178
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:31,060
- Geralyn's murder was
connected to Derrick Todd Lee
179
00:08:31,096 --> 00:08:32,576
through scrapings
that were taken
180
00:08:32,615 --> 00:08:34,165
from underneath her fingernails,
181
00:08:34,203 --> 00:08:39,213
where she had scratched her
attacker and got his DNA
182
00:08:39,242 --> 00:08:41,802
so that she could tell
police who had killed her.
183
00:08:41,831 --> 00:08:44,321
[intense music]
184
00:08:46,111 --> 00:08:48,841
- At this point, Derrick
Todd Lee is under arrest.
185
00:08:48,873 --> 00:08:52,953
He's put away, folks are
thinking everything is safe.
186
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:56,920
And then other bodies
start to turn up of women.
187
00:08:56,950 --> 00:09:00,890
- [Narrator] You're
watching WAFB9 News at six.
188
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:03,129
- It has happened
again, still again,
189
00:09:03,163 --> 00:09:05,753
a woman with a history
suggesting prostitution
190
00:09:05,786 --> 00:09:07,926
has been found murdered
in one of the most
191
00:09:07,961 --> 00:09:09,341
painful forms of murder.
192
00:09:11,343 --> 00:09:15,043
- When police found her,
her hands had been cut off.
193
00:09:15,071 --> 00:09:16,691
They were shocked by this.
194
00:09:18,178 --> 00:09:20,968
They had dealt with
Derrick Todd Lee,
195
00:09:21,008 --> 00:09:22,908
they had seen his crime scenes,
196
00:09:23,735 --> 00:09:25,215
they knew how he killed,
197
00:09:25,254 --> 00:09:28,154
but this was something
totally different.
198
00:09:28,188 --> 00:09:32,228
And typically when police
arrive at a crime scene
199
00:09:32,261 --> 00:09:34,261
where dismemberment is involved,
200
00:09:35,229 --> 00:09:37,889
they kind of know that
this isn't the only time
201
00:09:37,922 --> 00:09:39,062
this is gonna happen.
202
00:09:40,407 --> 00:09:42,267
- Meanwhile, we have some
important new answers
203
00:09:42,305 --> 00:09:44,335
about the body of a
woman found murdered
204
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:46,896
on Pride Port Hudson
road three weeks ago.
205
00:09:46,931 --> 00:09:49,691
- This victim had been reported
missing by her daughter
206
00:09:49,727 --> 00:09:52,277
and ended up being identified
as Johnnie Mae Williams.
207
00:09:52,315 --> 00:09:55,105
Johnnie Mae Williams had
a high risk lifestyle,
208
00:09:55,146 --> 00:09:57,246
she was on the streets
a lot at night.
209
00:09:59,253 --> 00:10:01,193
- Johnnie Mae hadn't
always been a prostitute.
210
00:10:01,221 --> 00:10:05,191
She had once lived a normal
life just like everybody else.
211
00:10:05,225 --> 00:10:07,185
She had been married,
212
00:10:07,227 --> 00:10:09,847
she had children who
she loved dearly,
213
00:10:09,885 --> 00:10:12,715
she had a very
sweet personality,
214
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:15,340
she was always trying
to help people,
215
00:10:15,373 --> 00:10:17,793
but then her husband
cheated on her.
216
00:10:17,824 --> 00:10:20,214
And when she found out her
husband cheated on her,
217
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,900
they got divorced.
218
00:10:21,931 --> 00:10:25,281
She had a difficult time
dealing with that situation.
219
00:10:25,314 --> 00:10:28,084
And like so many people
do, she turned to drugs.
220
00:10:30,733 --> 00:10:33,463
As her addiction to
drugs progressed,
221
00:10:33,494 --> 00:10:36,844
Johnnie Mae began to
become a prostitute
222
00:10:36,877 --> 00:10:40,257
and North Baton Rouge
is the place to do that.
223
00:10:42,883 --> 00:10:45,403
Prostitutes tend to
be the easiest victims
224
00:10:45,437 --> 00:10:47,087
for serial killers
225
00:10:47,129 --> 00:10:50,059
because a serial
killer can drive up,
226
00:10:50,097 --> 00:10:53,477
offer them money and they
will get into their vehicle.
227
00:10:53,514 --> 00:10:57,004
All the serial killer
has to do is drive off,
228
00:10:57,035 --> 00:10:59,305
find a remote location
and kill them.
229
00:11:00,867 --> 00:11:03,277
Women who live this lifestyle
tend to become easy prey
230
00:11:03,317 --> 00:11:04,317
for serial killers.
231
00:11:07,943 --> 00:11:09,883
- The rate of
success dealing with
232
00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:13,290
these particular homicides
depends on what is available
233
00:11:13,327 --> 00:11:15,397
forensically from
the crime scenes.
234
00:11:16,848 --> 00:11:19,958
If you're dealing with a
body dump in a swamp area,
235
00:11:19,989 --> 00:11:23,479
all you have is a
body find location.
236
00:11:23,510 --> 00:11:26,100
You don't necessarily
and probably do not
237
00:11:26,133 --> 00:11:27,933
have the actual crime scene,
238
00:11:27,963 --> 00:11:30,283
you don't know where the
abduction took place,
239
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:32,310
you don't have a
transport vehicle,
240
00:11:32,346 --> 00:11:34,486
all you have is
a body dump site.
241
00:11:36,109 --> 00:11:40,079
That's what Baton Rouge and
the East Louisiana Parish
242
00:11:40,113 --> 00:11:42,533
Sheriff's Department
was dealing with.
243
00:11:42,563 --> 00:11:45,913
And that created a tremendous
amount of public panic.
244
00:11:49,156 --> 00:11:51,086
- You know, that
fear that was back on
245
00:11:51,124 --> 00:11:53,894
but then also, I guess
we wondered, you know,
246
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,270
did they catch him?
247
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:56,440
You know, was it him?
248
00:11:56,474 --> 00:11:59,134
How many of them could there be?
249
00:11:59,166 --> 00:12:02,136
So to have that back in
our community, it was like,
250
00:12:02,169 --> 00:12:03,959
you know, here we go again.
251
00:12:05,345 --> 00:12:07,965
[intense music]
252
00:12:08,003 --> 00:12:11,183
- I'm Dr. Cecile Guin,
I'm a social worker
253
00:12:11,213 --> 00:12:14,463
and I was at LSU during
the 1990s and 2000s.
254
00:12:15,976 --> 00:12:18,456
The scariest times I had
were in the mornings,
255
00:12:18,496 --> 00:12:21,526
I would do morning television
shows with both channels,
256
00:12:21,568 --> 00:12:23,328
channel two and nine,
257
00:12:23,363 --> 00:12:26,823
but I would have to leave
my house at 05:00 or 05:30
258
00:12:26,849 --> 00:12:31,059
and I would be walking
out the front door with,
259
00:12:31,095 --> 00:12:33,435
I would have my cup
of tea in one hand
260
00:12:33,476 --> 00:12:35,126
and I'd have a knife
in the other hand.
261
00:12:35,168 --> 00:12:37,028
And by the time
I get to the car,
262
00:12:37,066 --> 00:12:38,786
my hands were shaking so badly
263
00:12:38,827 --> 00:12:41,037
that I probably didn't
have any tea left.
264
00:12:41,070 --> 00:12:43,520
I had a number of
people on death row
265
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:46,105
that I communicate
with regularly,
266
00:12:46,144 --> 00:12:49,494
call me and they'd say,
you better get off that TV.
267
00:12:49,527 --> 00:12:52,217
This guy's crazy, he's
gonna come kill you.
268
00:12:52,254 --> 00:12:54,224
And that they'd call
and give me advice
269
00:12:54,256 --> 00:12:55,526
on how to protect myself.
270
00:12:55,567 --> 00:12:58,017
It was, it was...
271
00:12:58,053 --> 00:12:59,883
It was very funny
having them call me
272
00:12:59,917 --> 00:13:01,847
and tell me be careful
about this crazy guy
273
00:13:01,884 --> 00:13:03,584
because they were the
ones sitting on death row
274
00:13:03,610 --> 00:13:04,990
for what they had done,
275
00:13:05,025 --> 00:13:07,405
but all the criminals
I was involved with,
276
00:13:07,441 --> 00:13:10,411
every single one of
'em distanced themself
277
00:13:10,444 --> 00:13:12,104
from serial killers.
278
00:13:12,136 --> 00:13:15,166
You know, they would say
that, I may be on death row,
279
00:13:15,208 --> 00:13:19,418
or I may have killed someone,
but I'm not that guy.
280
00:13:19,453 --> 00:13:22,013
[eerie music]
281
00:13:25,908 --> 00:13:28,428
- We did recognize in the 90s
282
00:13:28,462 --> 00:13:31,222
that we had a lot of
prostitutes that were dying
283
00:13:31,258 --> 00:13:33,018
in the East Baton Rouge area.
284
00:13:33,053 --> 00:13:35,643
And that was before
state police had DNA
285
00:13:35,676 --> 00:13:38,266
and the Baton Rouge
Police Department,
286
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:40,060
along with our district
attorney's office
287
00:13:40,095 --> 00:13:42,195
found funds in various places
288
00:13:42,235 --> 00:13:44,505
to have DNA testing
run on those samples.
289
00:13:44,547 --> 00:13:46,477
The problem with
prostitutes was that
290
00:13:46,515 --> 00:13:48,135
because of their lifestyle,
291
00:13:48,172 --> 00:13:51,452
we couldn't always find a
common DNA profile between them
292
00:13:51,485 --> 00:13:53,585
to actually link them.
293
00:13:53,625 --> 00:13:55,585
So we didn't know,
were they just a victim
294
00:13:55,627 --> 00:13:59,047
of their circumstance or were
they actually being killed
295
00:13:59,079 --> 00:14:00,559
by a serial killer?
296
00:14:01,944 --> 00:14:04,154
I think sometimes there's gonna
be some people in the public
297
00:14:04,188 --> 00:14:06,118
that are gonna say, well,
that's their choice,
298
00:14:06,155 --> 00:14:08,395
that's their lifestyle
299
00:14:08,433 --> 00:14:11,613
and that's kind of maybe what
they get or what they deserve.
300
00:14:11,643 --> 00:14:13,233
I wouldn't say that
all the population
301
00:14:13,266 --> 00:14:14,266
would feel that way though.
302
00:14:15,475 --> 00:14:17,475
- Their cases just did
not get the attention
303
00:14:17,511 --> 00:14:22,171
because people could not really
relate to their lifestyles.
304
00:14:22,206 --> 00:14:23,406
- And I remember
as a journalist,
305
00:14:23,448 --> 00:14:25,618
always thinking
that that was wrong.
306
00:14:25,657 --> 00:14:29,697
I wanted to give these
cases as much attention
307
00:14:29,730 --> 00:14:33,460
as we gave the cases
with Derrick Todd Lee,
308
00:14:33,493 --> 00:14:36,633
to Pam Kinamore, to
Charlotte Murray Pace.
309
00:14:36,668 --> 00:14:38,528
They all deserved that,
310
00:14:39,706 --> 00:14:41,046
it just didn't happen.
311
00:14:42,951 --> 00:14:45,641
[lively music]
312
00:14:47,058 --> 00:14:48,918
- A body found just
off the LSU campus
313
00:14:48,957 --> 00:14:51,127
has Sheriff's detectives
looking for answers.
314
00:14:51,166 --> 00:14:52,476
An autopsy has been performed
315
00:14:52,512 --> 00:14:54,512
and the victim has
now been identified
316
00:14:54,548 --> 00:14:57,998
as Donna Bennett Johnston,
43 years old of Baton Rouge.
317
00:14:58,035 --> 00:15:00,655
The cause of death,
strangulation.
318
00:15:00,692 --> 00:15:03,212
[sad music]
319
00:15:03,247 --> 00:15:07,457
- Donna Bennett Johnston also
worked at North Baton Rouge
320
00:15:07,492 --> 00:15:10,702
and her story was similar
to that of Johnnie Mae's.
321
00:15:10,737 --> 00:15:14,497
She turned to drugs, the drugs
led her into prostitution,
322
00:15:14,534 --> 00:15:16,544
but like Johnnie Mae,
323
00:15:16,570 --> 00:15:19,300
she always kept in
touch with her family
324
00:15:19,332 --> 00:15:21,962
and she always did her
best to take care of them.
325
00:15:23,646 --> 00:15:27,196
- Now we recover the remains
of another nude female
326
00:15:27,236 --> 00:15:30,516
who had been posed on the
side of a small creek bank.
327
00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:33,590
They had substantial amount
of postmortem cutting.
328
00:15:33,622 --> 00:15:35,182
We had some dismemberment there.
329
00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:37,630
She had her arms
severed at the elbow
330
00:15:37,660 --> 00:15:40,590
and there was an area on her
thigh which had been removed,
331
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:43,359
about a four by four inch square
332
00:15:43,390 --> 00:15:45,250
that had been taken
from her thigh.
333
00:15:46,462 --> 00:15:49,642
- Even though we did not
publicly reveal details,
334
00:15:49,672 --> 00:15:52,432
the crime scene,
those sorts of things,
335
00:15:52,468 --> 00:15:55,198
particularly when they are
sensational as these were,
336
00:15:55,230 --> 00:15:56,680
tend to leak out.
337
00:15:56,714 --> 00:15:58,444
police officers talked
to other police officers,
338
00:15:58,474 --> 00:16:01,374
Those police officers have
wives and daughters and sisters
339
00:16:01,408 --> 00:16:03,548
and they are naturally
and understandably
340
00:16:03,583 --> 00:16:04,793
going to tell them,
341
00:16:04,825 --> 00:16:06,655
this is what's going
on now in Baton Rouge.
342
00:16:06,689 --> 00:16:08,349
You need to be very careful.
343
00:16:10,314 --> 00:16:15,324
So details of what this
second killer was doing
344
00:16:16,665 --> 00:16:18,975
were very gruesome, very
perverted and very frightening.
345
00:16:20,738 --> 00:16:25,608
- It was obvious that these
women were not attacked
346
00:16:26,606 --> 00:16:28,326
and forced initially.
347
00:16:29,229 --> 00:16:32,299
That they were lured,
348
00:16:32,336 --> 00:16:35,366
that then a zip tie
349
00:16:35,408 --> 00:16:37,818
put around their
neck and tightened
350
00:16:37,858 --> 00:16:41,378
and only in postmortem,
351
00:16:41,414 --> 00:16:45,184
were they harmed more.
352
00:16:45,211 --> 00:16:47,321
[eerie music]
353
00:16:47,351 --> 00:16:52,361
It was definitely a more
opportunistic type of kill.
354
00:16:54,185 --> 00:16:56,565
- Some of the things that were
done to some of these victims
355
00:16:56,601 --> 00:16:59,331
made Derrick Todd Lee's
murders look like child's play.
356
00:16:59,363 --> 00:17:01,503
I can imagine that
even though the public
357
00:17:01,537 --> 00:17:03,227
may not have been able
to relate to a woman
358
00:17:03,263 --> 00:17:04,713
with a high risk lifestyle,
359
00:17:04,747 --> 00:17:07,717
I know these investigators
knew something big
360
00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:11,170
is going on here for an
individual to be able to do this
361
00:17:11,202 --> 00:17:12,792
and then just go about
their normal lives
362
00:17:12,824 --> 00:17:14,694
and operate in our community.
363
00:17:14,723 --> 00:17:17,733
When will it just stop
being high risk women
364
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,250
and move into the suburbs
or move elsewhere?
365
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,140
And I know the investigators,
366
00:17:22,179 --> 00:17:24,769
they were really concerned
about what was going on.
367
00:17:24,802 --> 00:17:26,672
- There's only one
way to stop him
368
00:17:26,700 --> 00:17:29,290
and that's to get 'em
as fast as you can
369
00:17:29,324 --> 00:17:33,744
and create a situation where
they can't do this anymore.
370
00:17:33,776 --> 00:17:37,396
- It seemed to police that
this was a serial killer
371
00:17:37,435 --> 00:17:38,705
who was a little different.
372
00:17:38,747 --> 00:17:41,817
He was not really
interested in the kill,
373
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:47,200
he killed strictly
to be able to play
374
00:17:47,238 --> 00:17:49,718
with the bodies of dead women.
375
00:17:49,758 --> 00:17:52,448
That was what his
fascination was
376
00:17:52,485 --> 00:17:54,795
and that's really
all he cared about.
377
00:17:54,832 --> 00:17:58,772
This was not the first
murder where a zip tie,
378
00:17:58,801 --> 00:18:01,221
an industrial size
plastic zip tie
379
00:18:01,252 --> 00:18:05,572
had been used by this
killer to strangle a woman.
380
00:18:06,430 --> 00:18:08,810
Police began to realize that
381
00:18:08,846 --> 00:18:10,846
that was kind of his signature
382
00:18:10,882 --> 00:18:13,132
along with the dismemberment.
383
00:18:13,161 --> 00:18:15,651
- For somebody to want
to and I hate to say
384
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,750
play with the body
or to mutilate the
body after the fact,
385
00:18:19,788 --> 00:18:22,718
they generally-- forensic
psychiatrist will tell you
386
00:18:22,756 --> 00:18:24,516
or psychologist will
tell you that's a whole
387
00:18:24,551 --> 00:18:26,621
different level of
what they, you know,
388
00:18:26,657 --> 00:18:28,487
he's clinical psychopath.
389
00:18:29,660 --> 00:18:31,870
- When Donna Bennett
Johnston was murdered,
390
00:18:31,903 --> 00:18:35,563
people in Baton Rouge
began to get very antsy.
391
00:18:35,597 --> 00:18:37,667
It's like, uh-oh,
here we go again.
392
00:18:37,702 --> 00:18:41,532
Women are being
murdered and again,
393
00:18:41,568 --> 00:18:45,638
the level of fear in this
city rose tremendously.
394
00:18:49,404 --> 00:18:50,654
- Baton Rouge Police Department
395
00:18:50,681 --> 00:18:52,481
and the East Baton Rouge
Parish Sheriff's Office
396
00:18:52,510 --> 00:18:54,790
requested assistance of the FBI
397
00:18:54,823 --> 00:18:58,313
in identifying and apprehending
the unknown offender.
398
00:18:59,517 --> 00:19:01,547
The FBI gains its
ability to assist
399
00:19:01,588 --> 00:19:03,278
in serial homicide investigation
400
00:19:03,314 --> 00:19:05,184
through the
protection of children
401
00:19:05,213 --> 00:19:08,223
from sexual predators
act of 1998.
402
00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:11,320
Underneath that act, the
FBI can provide resources
403
00:19:11,357 --> 00:19:13,427
in serial murder investigations
404
00:19:13,462 --> 00:19:15,912
provided there are
three linked homicides
405
00:19:15,947 --> 00:19:20,397
and those linked homicides can
be linked either behaviorally
406
00:19:20,435 --> 00:19:22,775
or they can be linked
through forensics.
407
00:19:29,478 --> 00:19:31,828
[sad music]
408
00:19:33,413 --> 00:19:35,803
- It wouldn't be long before
police connected the murders
409
00:19:35,829 --> 00:19:39,899
of Donna Bennett Johnston
and Johnnie Mae Williams
410
00:19:39,937 --> 00:19:44,597
to the murder of Katherine Hall
who had been killed in 1999.
411
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:49,769
- She herself was a substantial
amount of postmortem cutting
412
00:19:49,809 --> 00:19:52,709
displayed nude beneath
a dead-end sign
413
00:19:52,743 --> 00:19:54,883
in a new residential
construction area
414
00:19:54,917 --> 00:19:57,437
in the Southeast
part of the Parish.
415
00:19:57,472 --> 00:19:58,752
- [Susan] Police had
learned their lesson
416
00:19:58,783 --> 00:20:00,443
through Derrick Todd Lee
417
00:20:00,475 --> 00:20:04,235
and this time, the first
thing they did was test DNA.
418
00:20:05,652 --> 00:20:06,792
- When we began
the investigation,
419
00:20:06,826 --> 00:20:11,236
we wanted to identify every
bit of evidence that we had
420
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:13,729
and we wanted to make sure
that every bit of that evidence
421
00:20:13,764 --> 00:20:15,734
had whatever forensic
test done to it
422
00:20:15,766 --> 00:20:18,976
so that we could glean as
much information as possible.
423
00:20:19,010 --> 00:20:21,840
With regards to the
Katherine Hall crime scene,
424
00:20:21,875 --> 00:20:24,975
the main piece of
evidence there was a hair.
425
00:20:26,639 --> 00:20:30,679
- And so a new task force
was formed in March of 2004.
426
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,680
East Parish Sheriff's
office was the lead agency
427
00:20:34,716 --> 00:20:35,916
on the task force.
428
00:20:35,958 --> 00:20:38,338
We had members from the Baton
Rouge City Police Department,
429
00:20:38,375 --> 00:20:41,545
Louisiana State Police, the FBI,
430
00:20:41,585 --> 00:20:44,825
and then the Louisiana
Department of Justice to work on
431
00:20:44,864 --> 00:20:47,974
now another set of
unsolved homicides.
432
00:20:49,627 --> 00:20:52,347
- It's like the scab hadn't
even formed over Baton Rouge
433
00:20:52,389 --> 00:20:55,769
after Lee and here you
have another serial killer.
434
00:20:55,806 --> 00:20:57,906
And of course, given
the short timeframe
435
00:20:57,946 --> 00:21:01,466
between the Lee arrest
and the connection
436
00:21:01,501 --> 00:21:04,711
between these murders, it
caused a lot of concern.
437
00:21:04,746 --> 00:21:07,886
We needed to get this
guy, need to get him down.
438
00:21:08,957 --> 00:21:12,057
[calm country music]
439
00:21:14,411 --> 00:21:18,731
- The task force that helped
identify Derrick Todd Lee
440
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,590
wasn't entirely disbanded.
441
00:21:20,624 --> 00:21:24,044
There's a lot that comes into
play after someone's arrested.
442
00:21:24,075 --> 00:21:27,865
And so we had a skeleton crew
of that task force in play.
443
00:21:27,907 --> 00:21:31,047
- My people were
pretty much done.
444
00:21:31,082 --> 00:21:34,052
I had worked them to the
point that they were just,
445
00:21:34,085 --> 00:21:36,085
I mean, they were
fried at this point.
446
00:21:36,122 --> 00:21:38,092
So we got together another group
447
00:21:38,124 --> 00:21:40,784
and we sent them over
to the Sheriff's office.
448
00:21:40,816 --> 00:21:45,816
At that point, I'm still going
through the motions on Lee,
449
00:21:47,064 --> 00:21:49,074
trying to make sure we've
got everything in order
450
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:50,070
the way we did.
451
00:21:50,101 --> 00:21:53,381
So I was on the
sidelines of those cases.
452
00:21:54,934 --> 00:21:58,704
- They were doing as much as
they could with what they had.
453
00:21:58,731 --> 00:22:02,561
And I say that because
with Derrick Todd Lee,
454
00:22:02,597 --> 00:22:06,427
you had a hotline, people
were calling, giving tips,
455
00:22:06,463 --> 00:22:08,403
24 hours a day.
456
00:22:08,430 --> 00:22:10,920
You had that public engagement.
457
00:22:10,950 --> 00:22:12,710
And I don't know if
that helped or hindered
458
00:22:12,745 --> 00:22:16,535
because is it better to
run down four good leads
459
00:22:16,576 --> 00:22:20,056
or try and run down
20,000 bad leads?
460
00:22:21,823 --> 00:22:24,033
- In this particular
investigation,
461
00:22:24,066 --> 00:22:26,966
there were not as many
leads that we had to cover.
462
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,000
And also in the very
beginning of the case,
463
00:22:30,038 --> 00:22:31,828
we had forensics to work with.
464
00:22:31,867 --> 00:22:33,967
And that's where we
put all of our effort
465
00:22:34,007 --> 00:22:36,147
and seeing what the forensic
evidence could tell us
466
00:22:36,182 --> 00:22:38,152
about the unknown offender.
467
00:22:38,184 --> 00:22:40,704
- We couldn't look at
the typical samples
468
00:22:40,738 --> 00:22:41,948
that we were used to looking at.
469
00:22:41,981 --> 00:22:43,741
So like in the Derrick
Todd Lee case, you know,
470
00:22:43,776 --> 00:22:47,606
we could look for the semen
samples or the drops of blood
471
00:22:47,642 --> 00:22:49,132
and this particular case,
472
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,850
we knew that that wasn't
gonna work in the prostitutes.
473
00:22:51,887 --> 00:22:54,407
That we had to find
some other means
474
00:22:54,442 --> 00:22:56,892
and that's where we got lucky
475
00:22:56,927 --> 00:22:59,647
because he did leave
his DNA behind.
476
00:22:59,688 --> 00:23:02,418
He was having to hold
their hands so tightly
477
00:23:02,450 --> 00:23:04,070
when he would saw them off,
478
00:23:04,106 --> 00:23:06,036
that he would leave
his DNA behind
479
00:23:06,074 --> 00:23:07,874
on the remainder
portion of their arm.
480
00:23:07,903 --> 00:23:09,083
And that was where
we were getting
481
00:23:09,111 --> 00:23:11,421
good DNA sources collected.
482
00:23:11,459 --> 00:23:13,979
[eerie music]
483
00:23:15,877 --> 00:23:19,017
- Anytime you work a serial
homicide investigation,
484
00:23:19,052 --> 00:23:21,162
there's an inherent
pressure that the killer
485
00:23:21,192 --> 00:23:24,022
will strike again
before you can stop 'em.
486
00:23:24,057 --> 00:23:25,777
And so all the investigators,
487
00:23:25,818 --> 00:23:27,748
when we are looking
at a case like this,
488
00:23:27,785 --> 00:23:28,885
we do have that pressure.
489
00:23:28,924 --> 00:23:32,104
We do have a desire to
identify who the offender is
490
00:23:32,134 --> 00:23:35,074
as quick as possible so we
can put 'em behind bars.
491
00:23:38,071 --> 00:23:40,181
And one of the easiest
ways to do that
492
00:23:40,211 --> 00:23:42,041
with regards to Baton Rouge
493
00:23:42,075 --> 00:23:44,835
is if you can identify
the race of the offender
494
00:23:44,871 --> 00:23:46,081
or the unknown offender.
495
00:23:48,047 --> 00:23:50,007
- Months and months
and months of knowing
496
00:23:50,049 --> 00:23:50,949
that he was still out there,
497
00:23:50,981 --> 00:23:53,191
knowing that he could
kill again anytime,
498
00:23:53,224 --> 00:23:54,854
not knowing what
his trigger was,
499
00:23:54,881 --> 00:23:56,951
not knowing anything about him
500
00:23:56,987 --> 00:24:00,467
definitely put a rush and a
stress on us at the laboratory
501
00:24:00,508 --> 00:24:02,058
to do everything we could.
502
00:24:02,095 --> 00:24:04,785
And it would make going to court
503
00:24:04,822 --> 00:24:07,142
even that much more conclusive.
504
00:24:07,169 --> 00:24:11,069
You'd be able to say that
this evidence or this blood
505
00:24:11,104 --> 00:24:13,874
found in this particular
knife at a scene
506
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:14,970
or something like that,
507
00:24:15,005 --> 00:24:17,835
you'd be able to actually
say it was this person
508
00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:20,080
instead of having just
to leave everything else
509
00:24:20,113 --> 00:24:21,223
to circumstantial evidence
510
00:24:21,252 --> 00:24:24,262
that what the law enforcement
could actually present.
511
00:24:24,290 --> 00:24:26,570
- As we look back
through the crime scene
512
00:24:26,603 --> 00:24:27,853
from Johnnie Mae Williams,
513
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,850
we located a hair in
Johnnie Mae's wrist
514
00:24:29,882 --> 00:24:31,612
where a hand had been severed.
515
00:24:31,642 --> 00:24:33,262
This hair had a root attach,
516
00:24:33,299 --> 00:24:35,229
which allowed us to
submit it for analysis
517
00:24:35,266 --> 00:24:37,506
to the Louisiana State
Police Crime Lab.
518
00:24:37,545 --> 00:24:39,855
They were able to
conduct mitochondrial DNA
519
00:24:39,892 --> 00:24:42,142
and obtain the profile,
520
00:24:42,170 --> 00:24:44,210
which also meant
the profile obtained
521
00:24:44,241 --> 00:24:47,111
from the fingernail scrapings
of Donna Bennett Johnson.
522
00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:52,150
When we were reviewing the
evidence from Katherine Hall,
523
00:24:53,353 --> 00:24:57,053
there was a shaft hair
that had been located
524
00:24:57,081 --> 00:25:00,121
in the mouth of Katherine Hall.
525
00:25:00,153 --> 00:25:03,573
That hair was submitted
to the FBI Crime Lab
526
00:25:03,605 --> 00:25:04,875
for nuclear DNA.
527
00:25:06,021 --> 00:25:08,301
And a profile was
developed by the FBI,
528
00:25:08,334 --> 00:25:10,204
which produced the same profile
529
00:25:10,232 --> 00:25:12,342
that Louisiana State Police
Crime Lab had obtained
530
00:25:12,372 --> 00:25:16,272
from Donna Bennett Johnson
and from Johnnie Mae Williams.
531
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:17,377
Therefore we had, you know,
532
00:25:17,412 --> 00:25:20,102
physical evidence connecting
three of our victims
533
00:25:20,139 --> 00:25:23,279
with the same unknown profile.
534
00:25:23,314 --> 00:25:25,594
- And that was a
very key finding
535
00:25:25,627 --> 00:25:28,287
because we knew
since those three
536
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:29,669
were more or less matching,
537
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:32,150
that we were looking
for a Caucasian offender
538
00:25:32,185 --> 00:25:35,215
and with regards to
the Baton Rouge area,
539
00:25:35,257 --> 00:25:38,607
that knocks out
anywhere from 40 to 48%
540
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,880
of the potential population
541
00:25:40,918 --> 00:25:45,228
and we successfully culled
our suspects in half.
542
00:25:48,201 --> 00:25:50,031
Even though the three
victims were linked
543
00:25:50,065 --> 00:25:53,025
by the East Baton Rouge Parish
Sheriff's Office detectives,
544
00:25:53,068 --> 00:25:56,618
initially that was done
through behavioral linkage.
545
00:25:56,658 --> 00:25:58,868
- Now we had forensic linkage
546
00:25:58,902 --> 00:26:02,282
and that is something
you can bring into court.
547
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:05,599
[calm country music]
548
00:26:14,089 --> 00:26:17,749
- I'm John Sinquefield and in
the 1990s through the 2000s,
549
00:26:17,783 --> 00:26:19,413
I was the first assistant
district attorney
550
00:26:19,439 --> 00:26:21,649
here in East Baton Rouge Parish.
551
00:26:21,683 --> 00:26:24,823
I prosecuted, for the most
part, capital murder cases.
552
00:26:26,343 --> 00:26:28,863
I got the job 'cause I
was the most experienced
553
00:26:28,897 --> 00:26:32,417
in capital cases and I felt
the responsibility to do it
554
00:26:32,452 --> 00:26:35,042
because I thought I
was the best person
555
00:26:35,076 --> 00:26:37,146
to seek the death penalty
556
00:26:37,181 --> 00:26:38,701
against Derrick Todd Lee.
557
00:26:38,735 --> 00:26:41,735
And I fully believe that
for the crimes he committed,
558
00:26:41,772 --> 00:26:44,292
the only justifiable sentence
559
00:26:44,326 --> 00:26:48,396
would be that he'd be
tried, found guilty,
560
00:26:48,434 --> 00:26:51,134
sentenced to death and executed.
561
00:26:53,370 --> 00:26:55,720
The trial was a two week trial
562
00:26:55,752 --> 00:26:57,342
that was very stressful
563
00:26:57,374 --> 00:26:59,864
and I was against
three very talented
564
00:26:59,894 --> 00:27:01,724
criminal defense attorneys.
565
00:27:01,758 --> 00:27:06,038
DNA was not new, but
it was relatively new
566
00:27:06,072 --> 00:27:10,462
and I was trying a case
based almost entirely on DNA.
567
00:27:10,490 --> 00:27:14,150
And there hadn't been a lot
of experience in those days
568
00:27:14,184 --> 00:27:17,814
on how juries view DNA evidence.
569
00:27:17,843 --> 00:27:22,303
And I felt a tremendous
responsibility in that case
570
00:27:22,330 --> 00:27:27,130
because I thought I was trying
a very dangerous individual.
571
00:27:27,162 --> 00:27:28,822
[intense music]
572
00:27:28,854 --> 00:27:30,864
- I look at him as a monster
573
00:27:30,890 --> 00:27:33,380
because I don't know
what other human being
574
00:27:33,410 --> 00:27:35,210
could do what they did.
575
00:27:35,239 --> 00:27:39,039
I have a hard time
reconciling this in my mind
576
00:27:39,071 --> 00:27:44,081
that I can go do something
like he did to Murray Pace
577
00:27:46,388 --> 00:27:50,358
and then walk out of that
place and the next day,
578
00:27:50,392 --> 00:27:52,262
you show up at work
and you go back to work
579
00:27:52,291 --> 00:27:55,431
like nothing happened and
eat your sandwich for lunch.
580
00:27:55,466 --> 00:27:57,916
I have a hard time
reconciling that.
581
00:27:59,263 --> 00:28:01,333
- It was definitely
power and control.
582
00:28:01,369 --> 00:28:02,959
I mean, no doubt.
583
00:28:02,991 --> 00:28:07,201
I mean, he was not interested
in torturing the victims
584
00:28:07,237 --> 00:28:08,447
or anything.
585
00:28:08,479 --> 00:28:12,789
His whole entire game
was learning about them,
586
00:28:12,829 --> 00:28:15,799
stalking them and almost
like hunting 'em down
587
00:28:15,832 --> 00:28:17,772
and knowing when
he could get 'em.
588
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:20,839
- We actually went to
trial on October of 2004.
589
00:28:22,010 --> 00:28:24,010
Part of which was
a 404B hearing,
590
00:28:24,047 --> 00:28:27,147
which we were able to
bring six cases together.
591
00:28:27,188 --> 00:28:29,738
Although the case against
Charlotte Murray Pace
592
00:28:29,777 --> 00:28:31,297
was our case in chief.
593
00:28:31,330 --> 00:28:34,260
The rest of 'em were other
crimes evidence cases,
594
00:28:34,298 --> 00:28:36,438
that's allowed
under Louisiana law.
595
00:28:36,473 --> 00:28:40,063
And then finally, you know,
it comes up to the trial date.
596
00:28:40,097 --> 00:28:43,267
- [Announcer] You're
watching WAFB9 News at five.
597
00:28:44,343 --> 00:28:46,283
- Hello everyone,
I'm Paul Gates.
598
00:28:46,310 --> 00:28:48,760
It was an emotion
filled first day
599
00:28:48,796 --> 00:28:51,276
at the first degree murder
trial of Derrick Todd Lee.
600
00:28:51,315 --> 00:28:53,005
- On the stand, Rebecca Yager,
601
00:28:53,041 --> 00:28:55,801
the roommate of Murray Pace
at the time of her death,
602
00:28:55,837 --> 00:28:57,287
she took the stand.
603
00:28:57,321 --> 00:29:01,391
Yager tearfully recounted
the events of May 31st, 2002,
604
00:29:01,429 --> 00:29:04,499
the day she found Murray's
bloody and naked body.
605
00:29:04,535 --> 00:29:07,815
Prosecutor John Sinquefield
carefully maneuvered his witness
606
00:29:07,849 --> 00:29:10,469
through the testimony,
which lasted nearly an hour.
607
00:29:10,507 --> 00:29:12,887
Defense attorneys
also questioned Yager
608
00:29:12,923 --> 00:29:14,893
asking her if she
knew of any enemies
609
00:29:14,925 --> 00:29:16,405
that Pace may have had.
610
00:29:16,444 --> 00:29:18,314
Anne Pace, the mother of Murray
611
00:29:18,342 --> 00:29:20,972
quietly wiped streaming
tears off her cheeks
612
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,350
during Yagers testimony.
613
00:29:22,381 --> 00:29:24,211
- We wanted to get
him, we got him.
614
00:29:24,245 --> 00:29:27,075
Now we want a conviction and
we want a death sentence.
615
00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:28,560
And that's all I care about.
616
00:29:29,975 --> 00:29:33,315
- That courtroom was packed
on the first day of trial
617
00:29:33,357 --> 00:29:35,457
but it reminded me
of something from
618
00:29:35,497 --> 00:29:37,847
"To Kill a Mockingbird".
619
00:29:37,879 --> 00:29:39,399
The courtroom was
missing everything
620
00:29:39,432 --> 00:29:43,262
except the low ceiling
fans from that movie.
621
00:29:43,298 --> 00:29:46,058
Blacks were on one
side of the courtroom,
622
00:29:46,094 --> 00:29:50,244
and whites were on the other
side, the whites thinking,
623
00:29:50,271 --> 00:29:51,381
oh, he did it.
624
00:29:51,410 --> 00:29:54,410
The blacks were like, I
don't know about this one.
625
00:29:54,447 --> 00:29:56,067
Black guy serial killer?
626
00:29:56,104 --> 00:29:58,594
I don't know it because
of the fact that
627
00:29:59,901 --> 00:30:01,391
law enforcement had
gone all the way
628
00:30:01,420 --> 00:30:04,220
after some white guy
and a white pickup truck
629
00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:08,840
and all of a sudden under
this YSTR new concept
630
00:30:08,876 --> 00:30:10,456
that has never
been tested before,
631
00:30:10,498 --> 00:30:13,258
you pick a Black guy
to kill white girls.
632
00:30:13,294 --> 00:30:15,404
So Black community
wasn't buying it.
633
00:30:17,470 --> 00:30:18,580
- Because it was
such a large case,
634
00:30:18,609 --> 00:30:20,299
they did it in a big open room
635
00:30:20,335 --> 00:30:22,405
and he was free to roam
around in street clothes.
636
00:30:22,441 --> 00:30:24,581
And I remember him
just, you know,
637
00:30:24,615 --> 00:30:28,065
casually talking to people,
laughing, joking with people.
638
00:30:28,102 --> 00:30:31,072
He did not seem like
the monster that he was.
639
00:30:32,589 --> 00:30:33,969
I don't think you would pick
him out of a lineup and say,
640
00:30:34,004 --> 00:30:36,524
that's the guy who
brutally murdered a woman
641
00:30:36,558 --> 00:30:39,108
right after the other and
tried to hurt so many people
642
00:30:39,147 --> 00:30:41,597
and was the reason why all of
us were just living on edge
643
00:30:41,632 --> 00:30:43,012
for a long time.
644
00:30:46,051 --> 00:30:48,881
- He was very well
behaved in the courtroom.
645
00:30:48,916 --> 00:30:51,946
He had a sense of humor
because I was questioning
646
00:30:51,988 --> 00:30:55,538
one of his psychiatric witnesses
647
00:30:55,577 --> 00:30:59,337
and I caught him in kind
of a humorous situation.
648
00:30:59,374 --> 00:31:02,624
And I noticed it even
Derrick Todd Lee laughed
649
00:31:02,653 --> 00:31:04,903
as did most of the courtroom.
650
00:31:04,932 --> 00:31:07,942
So I found him in the courtroom,
651
00:31:07,969 --> 00:31:12,179
I found him the same,
calculating, in control,
652
00:31:12,215 --> 00:31:14,525
he didn't seem to be
afraid, observant.
653
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:21,160
The defense put on evidence
654
00:31:21,189 --> 00:31:24,989
and alleged that
he was retarded.
655
00:31:25,021 --> 00:31:28,231
I had a psychiatrist,
psychologist that said
656
00:31:28,265 --> 00:31:30,295
he was not retarded.
657
00:31:30,336 --> 00:31:33,646
But in addition, I put on
people that worked with him
658
00:31:33,684 --> 00:31:36,584
and showed that he had
obtained certain licenses
659
00:31:36,618 --> 00:31:38,478
to work in chemical plants.
660
00:31:38,517 --> 00:31:42,557
People that were around him
demonstrated his intelligence.
661
00:31:42,590 --> 00:31:44,450
There was just no
way that he could be
662
00:31:44,488 --> 00:31:46,528
under the U.S. Supreme
Court definition
663
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:48,599
that he could be retarded.
664
00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:52,500
And as a practical fact, from
looking at what he had did
665
00:31:52,531 --> 00:31:55,091
and ability to
commit these crimes
666
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,740
and get away with
them for years,
667
00:31:56,776 --> 00:31:59,366
that takes a degree of
intelligence right there.
668
00:32:00,539 --> 00:32:05,029
During the trial, I felt a
great weight of responsibility.
669
00:32:05,061 --> 00:32:10,071
You understand DNA in 2004 is
not as developed as it is now.
670
00:32:11,239 --> 00:32:12,619
And there were new
defenses against DNA
671
00:32:12,654 --> 00:32:14,384
trying to be developed.
672
00:32:14,415 --> 00:32:16,305
And these attorneys
on the other side,
673
00:32:16,348 --> 00:32:19,178
they had allegedly went to
some kind of training school
674
00:32:19,213 --> 00:32:21,253
on defending DNA cases.
675
00:32:23,251 --> 00:32:28,081
I sat there horrified when I
heard the cross examination
676
00:32:28,118 --> 00:32:29,598
by Mike Mitchell,
677
00:32:29,637 --> 00:32:33,497
who was very experienced
lead council for the defense
678
00:32:33,537 --> 00:32:36,087
in which he did a
679
00:32:36,126 --> 00:32:39,436
very systematic attack
680
00:32:39,474 --> 00:32:42,104
on the qualifications
of our criminalist.
681
00:32:42,132 --> 00:32:45,522
He argued that we didn't
use enough markers,
682
00:32:45,549 --> 00:32:50,549
that we were 13 whereas the
new standard was 15 or 25.
683
00:32:51,762 --> 00:32:53,182
He mounted a very
aggressive attack
684
00:32:53,212 --> 00:32:56,422
through cross examination
against the DNA.
685
00:32:56,457 --> 00:32:58,697
And as I told the story,
686
00:32:58,735 --> 00:33:02,045
I was sitting there
wondering if my little career
687
00:33:02,083 --> 00:33:05,023
might be just going right out
the courtroom window here.
688
00:33:06,674 --> 00:33:09,644
- [Woman] Prosecutors say they
have plenty of DNA evidence
689
00:33:09,677 --> 00:33:11,607
but what they've really
been searching for
690
00:33:11,644 --> 00:33:13,754
is some solid physical evidence.
691
00:33:13,784 --> 00:33:16,624
Diane Alexander may
provide exactly that.
692
00:33:16,649 --> 00:33:19,379
Especially since prosecutors
say the phone cord
693
00:33:19,411 --> 00:33:21,691
allegedly used to
try and strangle her
694
00:33:21,723 --> 00:33:25,383
was later found with Pam
Kenmore's body at Whiskey Bay.
695
00:33:25,417 --> 00:33:27,587
Now it remains to be
seen if a judge or jury
696
00:33:27,626 --> 00:33:29,246
believes that evidence,
697
00:33:29,283 --> 00:33:31,773
but family members say
Diane and that phone cord
698
00:33:31,802 --> 00:33:33,802
are their ACE in the hole.
699
00:33:34,805 --> 00:33:37,115
- Diane Alexander's a hero.
700
00:33:37,153 --> 00:33:39,473
And without her, I don't
know how successful
701
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,500
we would've been in
this prosecution.
702
00:33:42,641 --> 00:33:44,751
She was an elegant lady
703
00:33:44,781 --> 00:33:48,271
and she had no fear
of Derrick Todd Lee.
704
00:33:48,302 --> 00:33:51,652
She looked right at him, she
testified in a strong voice.
705
00:33:51,684 --> 00:33:55,654
She identified him, that's the
person that did this to me.
706
00:33:55,688 --> 00:33:58,208
And I don't know how many
courtrooms y'all had been in,
707
00:33:58,243 --> 00:34:01,633
but her testimony
was very dramatic
708
00:34:01,660 --> 00:34:04,700
and she made a phenomenal
witness in that case.
709
00:34:04,732 --> 00:34:07,772
I promise you, she was
a hero in that trial.
710
00:34:07,804 --> 00:34:09,844
- She is unflappable.
711
00:34:09,875 --> 00:34:13,665
She is absolutely clear,
she is an awesome witness,
712
00:34:13,706 --> 00:34:15,496
absolutely awesome witness
713
00:34:15,536 --> 00:34:18,536
and she identified him
absolutely positively
714
00:34:18,573 --> 00:34:20,203
with no reservations
715
00:34:21,162 --> 00:34:22,372
and that's the deal.
716
00:34:22,405 --> 00:34:24,605
She is the nail in his coffin.
717
00:34:24,648 --> 00:34:27,268
- Mary Pace's mom, Ann pace,
became a friend of mine.
718
00:34:27,306 --> 00:34:31,166
And I remember watching her
be so stoic through the case
719
00:34:31,207 --> 00:34:34,657
and she heard some very brutal
details about what happened
720
00:34:34,693 --> 00:34:35,663
to her daughter.
721
00:34:35,694 --> 00:34:37,834
But she knew that these
were important details
722
00:34:37,868 --> 00:34:38,728
that needed to get out.
723
00:34:38,766 --> 00:34:41,106
And I remember that
was the first time
724
00:34:41,148 --> 00:34:42,388
that a lot of the public
725
00:34:42,425 --> 00:34:44,565
really got a lot of
the gruesome details
726
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:48,089
or even knew just
how violent this was.
727
00:34:49,673 --> 00:34:52,643
- Two of the mothers did
not have nice things to say
728
00:34:52,676 --> 00:34:54,676
about Derrick Todd Lee at all.
729
00:34:54,713 --> 00:34:58,303
A couple times, they actually
shouted out at him in court,
730
00:34:58,337 --> 00:35:00,167
they weren't afraid of him.
731
00:35:00,201 --> 00:35:01,861
They wanted him to
get the death penalty
732
00:35:01,892 --> 00:35:04,552
and they wanted
him to be executed.
733
00:35:04,585 --> 00:35:07,755
And they became very
active, angry mothers.
734
00:35:07,795 --> 00:35:10,825
And they were on TV
a lot and I loved it.
735
00:35:10,867 --> 00:35:12,517
- It was a physical sensation.
736
00:35:12,558 --> 00:35:13,768
You felt like you
couldn't breathe
737
00:35:13,801 --> 00:35:15,871
and that your
stomach was in a knot
738
00:35:15,906 --> 00:35:17,766
and your chest was constricted.
739
00:35:17,805 --> 00:35:19,875
It was very hard to look at him.
740
00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:22,670
It was very hard and it was
hard to sit next to his family.
741
00:35:22,706 --> 00:35:24,566
- The other families
we actually became,
742
00:35:24,605 --> 00:35:26,675
we actually became a family.
743
00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:28,230
We actually leaned
on each other.
744
00:35:28,264 --> 00:35:32,444
You know, we, Ms. Marino
who is passed now,
745
00:35:32,475 --> 00:35:33,815
she was our backbone.
746
00:35:33,855 --> 00:35:35,615
She spoke up for us
most of the time,
747
00:35:35,650 --> 00:35:38,310
but we all had
something in common
748
00:35:38,343 --> 00:35:41,423
and we grew this bond 'cause
we was all going through
749
00:35:41,449 --> 00:35:43,589
the same thing at the same time.
750
00:35:43,624 --> 00:35:45,254
So we became family.
751
00:35:45,281 --> 00:35:47,321
We became their family,
they became our family,
752
00:35:47,352 --> 00:35:48,562
we spoke for each other.
753
00:35:50,355 --> 00:35:53,765
- The verdict in the end was
guilty of first degree murder
754
00:35:53,806 --> 00:35:57,286
of Charlotte Murray
Pace in the guilt phase
755
00:35:57,327 --> 00:36:00,187
and then a recommendation
of the death sentence,
756
00:36:00,227 --> 00:36:04,267
which is mandatory
in the penalty phase.
757
00:36:05,784 --> 00:36:10,794
But the jury stayed out several
hours in the penalty phase.
758
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,210
- We were right
outside the courthouse
759
00:36:14,241 --> 00:36:15,481
where they were taking him out
760
00:36:15,518 --> 00:36:16,898
and he was wearing
different clothes.
761
00:36:16,933 --> 00:36:19,353
And I asked one of the
jail wardens, I was like,
762
00:36:19,384 --> 00:36:20,634
"why did y'all change him?"
763
00:36:20,661 --> 00:36:22,661
And they said, he had
an accident on himself
764
00:36:22,697 --> 00:36:24,457
once he learned of
the death penalty.
765
00:36:24,492 --> 00:36:27,742
And so, you know, here was this
man who was just so violent
766
00:36:27,771 --> 00:36:30,951
and so strong and just so
domineering over these women
767
00:36:30,981 --> 00:36:33,571
but in the end, when it
came down to his life,
768
00:36:33,605 --> 00:36:35,635
it was enough to where he
was almost like a child
769
00:36:35,676 --> 00:36:36,746
and couldn't take it.
770
00:36:38,299 --> 00:36:41,029
- For Lynn Marino and Ann Pace,
771
00:36:41,060 --> 00:36:43,820
there was a certain level of,
772
00:36:43,856 --> 00:36:45,546
I don't know if relief
is the right word
773
00:36:45,582 --> 00:36:48,652
because nothing's gonna bring
their daughters back, right?
774
00:36:48,689 --> 00:36:52,379
Nothing's going to
make anything better.
775
00:36:52,417 --> 00:36:55,517
It's just gonna prevent
the next person,
776
00:36:55,558 --> 00:36:57,558
it's gonna prevent
the next Carry Yoder,
777
00:36:57,594 --> 00:37:00,604
it's gonna prevent the
next Geralyn DeSoto,
778
00:37:00,632 --> 00:37:02,882
it's not gonna do
anything more than that.
779
00:37:02,910 --> 00:37:05,460
So I don't know if a
relief is the right word,
780
00:37:05,499 --> 00:37:09,399
but just at least they felt
that someone was responsible.
781
00:37:10,297 --> 00:37:12,747
- The question I was asked
782
00:37:12,782 --> 00:37:17,652
was, "Were you worried when
the jury stayed out so long
783
00:37:17,683 --> 00:37:19,823
in the penalty phase?"
784
00:37:19,858 --> 00:37:23,518
The answer I gave was, "Tonight,
785
00:37:23,551 --> 00:37:26,311
the South Louisiana
serial killer,
786
00:37:26,347 --> 00:37:29,557
Derrick Todd Lee got
South Louisiana justice."
787
00:37:33,078 --> 00:37:35,768
[lively music]
788
00:37:39,878 --> 00:37:41,568
- With Derrick Todd Lee,
789
00:37:41,604 --> 00:37:44,304
it was like the police were
fumbling their way through.
790
00:37:44,331 --> 00:37:49,341
They had no idea how to go
about catching a serial killer,
791
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,610
but they had learned
their lessons.
792
00:37:52,753 --> 00:37:56,033
DNA helped with linking
the victims together
793
00:37:56,066 --> 00:38:01,066
and they reverted to old
fashioned police work,
794
00:38:02,003 --> 00:38:02,833
following every lead,
795
00:38:04,005 --> 00:38:07,765
looking for actual
forensic evidence.
796
00:38:09,977 --> 00:38:12,947
- While a crime lab
was processing the hair
797
00:38:12,980 --> 00:38:15,980
and finger nail scrapings
and obtaining the profiles,
798
00:38:16,017 --> 00:38:19,087
the task force had
focused on a tire casting
799
00:38:19,124 --> 00:38:22,964
that was obtained from Donna
Bennett Johnson's crime scene.
800
00:38:22,990 --> 00:38:24,540
[eerie music]
801
00:38:24,578 --> 00:38:25,858
- We knew that this
was a good lead
802
00:38:25,889 --> 00:38:27,509
just because it was a wet area
803
00:38:27,546 --> 00:38:29,926
where the tire casting came from
804
00:38:29,962 --> 00:38:31,762
there beside the canal where
805
00:38:31,792 --> 00:38:33,972
Donna Bennett Johnston
remains had been left.
806
00:38:34,001 --> 00:38:36,871
And so we need to either include
or exclude the individual
807
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:40,110
who left this tire track
there at the crime scene.
808
00:38:42,078 --> 00:38:45,008
- The crime scene investigator
took that tire impression
809
00:38:45,046 --> 00:38:47,876
to various dealerships
around town
810
00:38:47,911 --> 00:38:51,021
and attempted to identify
what type of tire
811
00:38:51,052 --> 00:38:52,502
made that impression.
812
00:38:53,952 --> 00:38:55,472
We were able to
determine that it was
813
00:38:55,505 --> 00:38:57,915
a Goodyear Aquatred tire.
814
00:38:57,956 --> 00:38:59,606
- So then we said, we
need to try to identify
815
00:38:59,647 --> 00:39:02,337
who has purchased these tires
in the Baton Rouge area.
816
00:39:04,065 --> 00:39:06,995
- We were very fortunate
in that particular tire
817
00:39:07,034 --> 00:39:08,834
was not a common tire.
818
00:39:08,863 --> 00:39:11,973
It was one that not that
many sets of that tire
819
00:39:12,004 --> 00:39:15,014
had been sold in the
Baton Rouge area.
820
00:39:15,042 --> 00:39:17,392
So that helped out.
821
00:39:17,424 --> 00:39:20,674
- We went to the
manufacturer and asked them
822
00:39:20,703 --> 00:39:24,983
where in the Baton Rouge
area those tires were sold.
823
00:39:25,017 --> 00:39:27,427
And that was an
investigative assumption
824
00:39:27,468 --> 00:39:29,158
that the offender in
this case was familiar
825
00:39:29,194 --> 00:39:30,684
with the Baton Rouge area.
826
00:39:32,715 --> 00:39:34,645
- Our list shrunk substantially
827
00:39:34,682 --> 00:39:37,062
to just a little over 100
individuals who had purchased
828
00:39:37,098 --> 00:39:38,858
that size tire in
the Baton Rouge area.
829
00:39:38,893 --> 00:39:41,173
The list of individuals who
had purchased the 14 inch tire
830
00:39:41,206 --> 00:39:44,866
were divided up amongst
the task force members
831
00:39:44,899 --> 00:39:47,419
and each task force
member had about 10 leads
832
00:39:47,454 --> 00:39:48,464
to follow up on.
833
00:39:55,565 --> 00:39:58,015
[calm music]
834
00:40:01,019 --> 00:40:02,679
- My name is Terri Lemoine
835
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:04,920
And for most of my life,
I've lived in Baton Rouge.
836
00:40:07,025 --> 00:40:10,435
I'm from a little bitty town
in Louisiana called Bunky.
837
00:40:10,477 --> 00:40:11,857
It was pretty nice.
838
00:40:11,892 --> 00:40:13,242
I had a nice family.
839
00:40:13,272 --> 00:40:18,172
I was one of those people
who liked to run off a lot
840
00:40:18,208 --> 00:40:19,108
'cause I wanted to see
841
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:21,140
what the rest of the
world looked like.
842
00:40:21,177 --> 00:40:23,797
One year I ran off and
went to California.
843
00:40:23,835 --> 00:40:25,525
I think I was 11 years old.
844
00:40:25,561 --> 00:40:27,631
I wanted to meet the Beatles
845
00:40:27,666 --> 00:40:29,116
and then I had to meet
the Rolling Stones
846
00:40:29,150 --> 00:40:31,080
and then I was gonna
meet all the other ones
847
00:40:31,118 --> 00:40:32,878
that were playing at the time.
848
00:40:34,949 --> 00:40:38,779
- My name's Louis Gaar and I'm
from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
849
00:40:38,815 --> 00:40:41,015
When I first met
Terri in the 1980s,
850
00:40:41,059 --> 00:40:44,169
she was working at
an exotic dance club
851
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,130
called The Entertainers.
852
00:40:45,166 --> 00:40:48,756
She was basically a
stripper and a waitress.
853
00:40:48,791 --> 00:40:50,071
This was some club.
854
00:40:50,102 --> 00:40:52,172
There was one incident
where Terri worked
855
00:40:52,208 --> 00:40:54,108
that bikers used to frequent.
856
00:40:54,141 --> 00:40:56,111
A biker became too rowdy
857
00:40:56,143 --> 00:40:59,013
and the girls of the
club all attacked him
858
00:40:59,042 --> 00:41:00,912
and beat him to death.
859
00:41:00,941 --> 00:41:02,911
I would frequent the
club on the weekends
860
00:41:02,943 --> 00:41:05,503
and after speaking
to her off and on,
861
00:41:05,532 --> 00:41:07,152
we developed a relationship
862
00:41:07,188 --> 00:41:10,118
which turned into
basically a love affair
863
00:41:10,157 --> 00:41:13,017
and eventually we
moved in together.
864
00:41:14,644 --> 00:41:16,994
- We lived together
for about a year
865
00:41:17,026 --> 00:41:18,986
and then had a daughter
866
00:41:19,028 --> 00:41:23,998
and we stayed together
for about three more years
867
00:41:25,206 --> 00:41:28,996
and then we went in
different directions.
868
00:41:30,177 --> 00:41:32,517
- I received a phone
call from Terri
869
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:34,529
and I hadn't heard
from her in many years
870
00:41:34,561 --> 00:41:37,941
and she notified me that she
was living in Baton Rouge
871
00:41:37,978 --> 00:41:40,948
and I was living in Jackson
at the time in Mississippi.
872
00:41:40,981 --> 00:41:43,711
She said, why don't you
come visit your daughter?
873
00:41:43,742 --> 00:41:46,192
Well, I hopped on the first bus
874
00:41:46,227 --> 00:41:48,127
and when the taxi let
me off at the house,
875
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,650
the house was
surrounded by police.
876
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,990
There was police tape everywhere
877
00:41:53,027 --> 00:41:55,647
and I thought maybe I
was at the wrong house.
878
00:41:55,685 --> 00:41:57,195
But then that's
when she informed me
879
00:41:57,238 --> 00:42:00,858
that her former boyfriend
was a serial killer
880
00:42:00,897 --> 00:42:02,307
and had just been arrested.
881
00:42:05,039 --> 00:42:07,209
I felt like I had
walked into a nightmare.
882
00:42:12,253 --> 00:42:15,083
