december of 1990, 6 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,166 the people of toronto were preparing to celebrate 7 00:01:27,166 --> 00:01:29,633 the christmas holidays. 8 00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:35,900 but as they went about shopping for their loved ones, 9 00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:38,266 they could not forget about the 12 young women 10 00:01:38,266 --> 00:01:42,734 who had been brutally raped in the past three years. 11 00:01:44,033 --> 00:01:46,100 they were also well aware 12 00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:48,433 that the man who had committed these terrible crimes 13 00:01:48,433 --> 00:01:50,967 was still out there. 14 00:02:05,867 --> 00:02:08,200 at their home in scarborough, 15 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,767 a suburb of toronto, 16 00:02:09,767 --> 00:02:12,967 the homolka family was throwing a party 17 00:02:12,967 --> 00:02:15,233 for their daughter karla. 18 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,367 she had become engaged to paul bernardo. 19 00:02:22,867 --> 00:02:24,500 good looking and bright, 20 00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,266 karla's parents found him to be the perfect son-in-law. 21 00:02:29,867 --> 00:02:33,066 her sister, 15-year-old tammy homolka 22 00:02:33,066 --> 00:02:36,133 was allowed to stay up late that night. 23 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,800 paul, in love with his new video camera 24 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,500 was taking pictures all night long. 25 00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:47,000 ( paul ) oh, here we go. 26 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,834 okay, okay, whoa. 27 00:02:50,834 --> 00:02:53,300 that's so cute, extreme close-up. 28 00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,200 whoa ! whoa ! 29 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,767 ( narrator ) later that evening, 30 00:02:57,767 --> 00:03:00,700 when karla's mother and father had gone to bed... 31 00:03:01,433 --> 00:03:04,633 karla and paul continued to celebrate. 32 00:03:07,233 --> 00:03:09,934 her sister tammy stayed up with them. 33 00:03:12,834 --> 00:03:16,567 and she also continued to drink. 34 00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:21,867 ( phone ringing ) 35 00:03:21,867 --> 00:03:24,967 around two a.m. that morning, 36 00:03:24,967 --> 00:03:28,333 a friend of karla's received a startling phone call. 37 00:03:28,967 --> 00:03:31,400 we got a phone call, it was karla, 38 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,800 she was calling, she sounded distraught, 39 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,033 she did say that her sister had died 40 00:03:37,033 --> 00:03:39,033 and she started crying. 41 00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:43,333 it was very unclear how she died. 42 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,467 ( narrator ) karla told police... 43 00:04:17,033 --> 00:04:19,700 later that night, tammy's body was taken 44 00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:23,000 to hamilton general hospital to be autopsied. 45 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:28,567 the local pathologist said that in his opinion 46 00:04:28,567 --> 00:04:31,500 the young woman had died from asphyxia. 47 00:04:32,967 --> 00:04:35,734 she had choked on her own vomit. 48 00:04:36,734 --> 00:04:40,233 it was speculated that the huge burn on her face 49 00:04:40,233 --> 00:04:43,700 had probably been caused by stomach acid. 50 00:04:47,834 --> 00:04:50,667 the next day a funeral was held 51 00:04:50,667 --> 00:04:53,233 for 15-year-old tammy homolka. 52 00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:57,734 her friends and family were visibly shocked 53 00:04:57,734 --> 00:05:00,900 at the young girl's tragic accident. 54 00:05:01,934 --> 00:05:03,533 paul would not leave her side, 55 00:05:03,533 --> 00:05:04,900 he kept calling her, 56 00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:07,533 "this is my angel, she's my angel, 57 00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:09,066 oh, she's gonna be our angel", 58 00:05:09,066 --> 00:05:11,400 and he would play with her hair. 59 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,900 he wouldn't leave her alone. 60 00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:16,000 it was very dramatic. 61 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,166 it was quite a powerful evening. 62 00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:25,767 ( narrator ) about two months after the funeral, 63 00:05:25,767 --> 00:05:28,834 a bereaved karla and paul rented a house 64 00:05:28,834 --> 00:05:30,767 in the town of port dalhousie. 65 00:05:30,767 --> 00:05:33,000 they seemed happy, 66 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,867 but suddenly their friends began to notice 67 00:05:35,867 --> 00:05:39,000 a change in paul's behavior. 68 00:05:39,834 --> 00:05:42,400 paul was getting more and more bizarre 69 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,867 as time went on. 70 00:05:43,867 --> 00:05:45,400 the last time he came over, 71 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,333 he was very, very drunk and he looked at me, 72 00:05:47,333 --> 00:05:49,333 and i said, "paul, what do you do ?" 73 00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:51,867 and he looked at me with the craziest look, 74 00:05:51,867 --> 00:05:53,433 he said to me, 75 00:05:53,433 --> 00:05:55,800 "you wouldn't believe what i did if i told you, 76 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,500 you wouldn't believe what i can do." 77 00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:00,967 i felt it down into my heart, something just so evil. 78 00:06:00,967 --> 00:06:04,266 it was frightening. 79 00:06:04,667 --> 00:06:07,233 ( narrator ) in april, another young woman 80 00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:09,233 was attacked leaving her school. 81 00:06:09,233 --> 00:06:12,567 but unlike the others, 82 00:06:12,567 --> 00:06:14,834 she was able to give a partial description 83 00:06:14,834 --> 00:06:16,834 of the man who raped her. 84 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:21,900 she described him as a tall, blond man, 85 00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:23,767 in his 20s. 86 00:06:27,333 --> 00:06:30,266 paul bernardo, like hundreds of other young men 87 00:06:30,266 --> 00:06:32,600 seemed to fit the description. 88 00:06:33,433 --> 00:06:37,800 so, he was brought down to r.c.m.p. headquarters. 89 00:06:38,433 --> 00:06:43,000 there he was interviewed and left a sample of his blood. 90 00:06:43,734 --> 00:06:46,934 police felt that he was cooperative and forthcoming, 91 00:06:46,934 --> 00:06:49,834 and did not consider him a suspect. 92 00:06:54,667 --> 00:06:56,500 in june of 1991, 93 00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:58,266 when everything had settled down. 94 00:06:58,266 --> 00:07:01,166 paul and karla finally got married. 95 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,500 they were just so crazy about each other. 96 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:08,600 she was totally infatuated with him. 97 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,567 we really kind of understood that they were 98 00:07:12,567 --> 00:07:14,567 this donald and ivana trump kind of couple, 99 00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:16,533 that he was to be the provider, 100 00:07:16,533 --> 00:07:18,166 and she was gonna be taken care of, 101 00:07:18,166 --> 00:07:20,667 and they both seemed to like that role. 102 00:07:24,133 --> 00:07:26,367 ( narrator ) but on the very day of their wedding, 103 00:07:26,367 --> 00:07:27,900 in another part of town, 104 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:31,200 the body of a teenage girl was found. 105 00:07:33,133 --> 00:07:35,500 she had been dismembered. 106 00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:38,433 and her hands, legs, and even her head 107 00:07:38,433 --> 00:07:40,633 had been removed from her torso, 108 00:07:40,633 --> 00:07:43,200 and placed in blocks of cement. 109 00:07:45,433 --> 00:07:48,700 she was later identified as a 15-year-old girl 110 00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:51,233 named leslie mahaffy. 111 00:07:52,333 --> 00:07:55,467 the sexual attack showed the same pattern of behavior 112 00:07:55,467 --> 00:08:00,100 as all the others, except for one detail. 113 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,200 the rapist who had been prowling the streets 114 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,767 for over four years, 115 00:08:04,767 --> 00:08:08,333 had now turned to cold-blooded murder. 116 00:08:15,433 --> 00:08:17,133 after their wedding, 117 00:08:17,133 --> 00:08:20,533 paul and karla went to hawaii for their honeymoon. 118 00:08:22,033 --> 00:08:24,133 it was a romantic trip. 119 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,800 their videos show a couple infatuated with one another. 120 00:08:33,767 --> 00:08:37,767 shortly after they returned to their home in port dalhousie, 121 00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:41,066 another brutal murder took place. 122 00:08:44,300 --> 00:08:46,667 the body of 15-year-old kristen french 123 00:08:46,667 --> 00:08:48,433 was found in the woods. 124 00:08:48,433 --> 00:08:52,133 she had been choked to death with an electrical cord. 125 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,900 but she would be the last victim. 126 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,633 on february 1st, 1993, 127 00:09:02,633 --> 00:09:04,734 after two years, 128 00:09:04,734 --> 00:09:07,400 an overwhelmed and understaffed forensic lab, 129 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,233 finally sent police the results of their blood tests. 130 00:09:14,433 --> 00:09:17,567 the dna evidence matched one person, 131 00:09:17,567 --> 00:09:20,934 the 28-year-old, paul bernardo. 132 00:09:24,567 --> 00:09:27,400 but the authorities still had unfinished business. 133 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,767 they were sure that paul bernardo 134 00:09:30,767 --> 00:09:33,600 had killed leslie mahaffy and kristen french, 135 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,133 but did not have the evidence to prove it. 136 00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:43,166 until his wife, karla, 137 00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:46,333 walked into the metropolitan police station. 138 00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:50,800 there she told detectives 139 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,033 that she was frightened for her life. 140 00:09:53,033 --> 00:09:56,100 hospital pictures showed that paul bernardo 141 00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:58,600 had beaten her unmercifully. 142 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,200 she told detectives 143 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,266 that he made her commit unspeakable acts, 144 00:10:09,266 --> 00:10:11,734 and that if she didn't, 145 00:10:11,734 --> 00:10:13,900 he threatened to kill her. 146 00:10:26,266 --> 00:10:28,367 it was just a matter of days, 147 00:10:28,367 --> 00:10:30,300 before it was apparent to the police, 148 00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:32,567 at least at metro, that she could give them 149 00:10:32,567 --> 00:10:36,633 a lot more then evidence of her being battered as a wife. 150 00:10:36,633 --> 00:10:40,066 ( narrator ) the police made a deal with karla, 151 00:10:40,066 --> 00:10:42,100 they said, "tell us all you know, 152 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,667 "and help us convict paul bernardo for murder, 153 00:10:44,667 --> 00:10:47,500 and we will give you a break in your sentence." 154 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,834 karla agreed and spent the next five days 155 00:10:50,834 --> 00:10:54,066 giving a videotaped confession. 156 00:10:54,834 --> 00:10:59,767 in this tape, karla talks about the murder of leslie mahaffy. 157 00:11:20,066 --> 00:11:24,166 the deal is dependent on her revealing everything 158 00:11:24,166 --> 00:11:27,233 of her wrongdoings 159 00:11:27,233 --> 00:11:29,500 in connection with paul bernardo. 160 00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,233 and that would include the death of her sister. 161 00:11:33,066 --> 00:11:34,433 hi. 162 00:11:34,433 --> 00:11:36,734 can you see me ? 163 00:11:36,734 --> 00:11:39,800 ( narrator ) the police learned for the first time 164 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,867 what really happened to tammy homolka. 165 00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:45,166 karla tells them that as a christmas gift to her husband, 166 00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:47,367 she permitted paul bernardo 167 00:11:47,367 --> 00:11:50,200 to rape her own sister. 168 00:12:19,767 --> 00:12:21,767 after karla's confession, 169 00:12:21,767 --> 00:12:23,600 the chief coroner of ontario 170 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,333 ordered the exhumation of tammy's body 171 00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:28,767 from the st. charles cemetery. 172 00:12:28,767 --> 00:12:33,567 in the toxicology report following the second autopsy, 173 00:12:33,567 --> 00:12:37,033 the conclusion was that in fact, 174 00:12:37,033 --> 00:12:40,834 the halcion had been used to make tammy sleepy. 175 00:12:40,834 --> 00:12:45,934 from that point then karla and paul had used 176 00:12:45,934 --> 00:12:49,734 a drug called halothane which is a general anesthetic, 177 00:12:49,734 --> 00:12:52,367 and put tammy to sleep. 178 00:12:53,133 --> 00:12:57,734 with an unprotected airway one would vomit into the lungs, 179 00:12:57,734 --> 00:13:00,967 and that in and by itself can cause cardiac arrest. 180 00:13:00,967 --> 00:13:03,800 ( narrator ) unfortunately, the two drugs, 181 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,533 halcion and halothane, 182 00:13:05,533 --> 00:13:09,467 were not part of the drug test in the first autopsy. 183 00:13:10,266 --> 00:13:12,900 discovery of either one of these drugs 184 00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:17,367 would've been the red flag indicating foul play. 185 00:13:18,166 --> 00:13:21,500 on may 19th, 1995, 186 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:25,533 in a trial that would shock all of canada, 187 00:13:25,533 --> 00:13:29,100 paul bernardo was tried for the murder of leslie mahaffy 188 00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,233 and kristen french. 189 00:13:33,066 --> 00:13:35,667 it was in court that a horrified jury 190 00:13:35,667 --> 00:13:37,300 learned for the first time, 191 00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:40,700 that paul and karla had videotaped 192 00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:43,300 the raped and torture of their victims. 193 00:13:46,166 --> 00:13:49,500 but more importantly the jury realized that karla 194 00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:51,767 was not just an abused wife, 195 00:13:51,767 --> 00:13:54,800 but seemed to be a willing participant. 196 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,266 one of the first tapes 197 00:13:59,266 --> 00:14:01,667 that we ultimately had to deal with, 198 00:14:01,667 --> 00:14:06,066 was paul and karla, in karla's area in the basement 199 00:14:06,066 --> 00:14:08,567 in front of the fireplace having sex. 200 00:14:08,567 --> 00:14:12,667 and here is karla dressed in tammy homolka's school clothes, 201 00:14:12,667 --> 00:14:16,467 and she performs oral sex on him. 202 00:14:16,467 --> 00:14:19,967 so she's playing at being tammy, 203 00:14:19,967 --> 00:14:22,133 two or three weeks after her sister's dead. 204 00:14:22,133 --> 00:14:24,667 you could see that she was part and parcel, 205 00:14:24,667 --> 00:14:28,367 in my opinion, of what went on. 206 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,934 i think that by herself, 207 00:14:31,934 --> 00:14:35,333 karla homolka would never have committed these 208 00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:37,934 or any crimes approaching them. 209 00:14:37,934 --> 00:14:43,467 these two, in combination, formed a personality 210 00:14:43,467 --> 00:14:47,233 that was capable of committing this series of acts, 211 00:14:47,233 --> 00:14:50,667 and i think that's really what happened here. 212 00:14:53,433 --> 00:14:56,200 ( narrator ) paul bernardo was sentenced to life in prison 213 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,166 without possibility of parole. 214 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,700 but karla who had made her deal with the police 215 00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:07,734 before anyone ever saw the incriminating videotapes, 216 00:15:07,734 --> 00:15:10,900 received only 12 years in prison, 217 00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:14,734 and is due to be released in the year 2005. 218 00:15:16,433 --> 00:15:18,800 i guess i've come to the conclusion in my own mind, 219 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,166 that it was probably a 50/50 thing. 220 00:15:22,633 --> 00:15:25,800 just a match made in heaven, i guess. 221 00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:50,633 ( narrator ) george and denise eckersley lived in this brick house 222 00:15:50,633 --> 00:15:53,300 on colenso road in leeds, england. 223 00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:56,200 they had been married for four years, 224 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,900 living quiet and uneventful lives. 225 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,200 but in 1999 they purchased a small car 226 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,266 that they planned to use on their trip to europe. 227 00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:08,767 but they never went on that trip. 228 00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:10,934 just before they were about to leave, 229 00:16:10,934 --> 00:16:14,367 the police received a phone call from george eckersley, 230 00:16:14,367 --> 00:16:16,667 who told them that his wife, 231 00:16:16,667 --> 00:16:20,166 and his car were missing. 232 00:16:21,367 --> 00:16:24,233 ( narrator ) her family placed her picture in store windows, 233 00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:26,367 and local newspapers in the area, 234 00:16:26,367 --> 00:16:30,100 hoping that someone might recognize her. 235 00:16:31,667 --> 00:16:35,567 several people responded to the missing person posters. 236 00:16:36,667 --> 00:16:40,166 in fact, an amateur photographer 237 00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:43,000 said that he had shot video of a strange-looking woman 238 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,667 wandering around the resort town of nearby cleethorpes. 239 00:16:50,767 --> 00:16:54,567 in addition, a security camera at a local bank 240 00:16:54,567 --> 00:16:58,066 recorded the same woman using denise eckersley's credit card 241 00:16:58,066 --> 00:17:01,000 to take out some money. 242 00:17:03,367 --> 00:17:06,233 this led george eckersley to go on radio, 243 00:17:06,233 --> 00:17:08,633 to plead for his wife to come home. 244 00:17:18,734 --> 00:17:21,900 a few days later, mrs. ekersley sent a letter 245 00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:24,400 to her family in which she admitted... 246 00:17:34,667 --> 00:17:37,433 denise ekersley sounded like a woman 247 00:17:37,433 --> 00:17:39,233 who wanted to die. 248 00:17:44,834 --> 00:17:46,367 then one morning, 249 00:17:46,367 --> 00:17:48,633 a man found her sweater floating in the ocean. 250 00:17:48,633 --> 00:17:51,867 police later found her pocketbook, 251 00:17:51,867 --> 00:17:55,433 along with an empty bottle of vodka on the beach. 252 00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,967 authorities were sure that she had taken her own life 253 00:17:59,967 --> 00:18:01,800 by drowning. 254 00:18:02,834 --> 00:18:06,600 but her daughter insisted that the suicide note was a fake, 255 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,400 that it wasn't her mother's handwriting. 256 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,900 so, the criminalists examined the envelope 257 00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:14,934 for traces of dna, 258 00:18:14,934 --> 00:18:18,100 that might have been left by the saliva. 259 00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:22,100 they cut off a small section of the flap, 260 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:23,433 heated it, 261 00:18:23,433 --> 00:18:25,667 then placed that piece in a centrifuge, 262 00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:28,133 in order to isolate the dna. 263 00:18:28,133 --> 00:18:31,834 finally, they placed the sample in a machine 264 00:18:31,834 --> 00:18:33,967 called "a dna sequencer", 265 00:18:33,967 --> 00:18:37,700 which identifies an individual's dna. 266 00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,567 after two hours they discovered, 267 00:18:40,567 --> 00:18:42,533 much to their surprise, 268 00:18:42,533 --> 00:18:45,433 that the dna found on the envelope 269 00:18:45,433 --> 00:18:50,600 was a match not for denise, but for her husband george. 270 00:18:51,934 --> 00:18:54,367 it was he, not she, 271 00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:58,400 who had written and mailed the suicide note to her family. 272 00:18:59,734 --> 00:19:02,033 police eventually found george eckersley 273 00:19:02,033 --> 00:19:03,800 at the local airport, 274 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,600 where he was about to board a plane for amsterdam 275 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,967 to start a new life. 276 00:19:10,333 --> 00:19:13,734 confronted with the evidence, george admitted his guilt. 277 00:19:13,734 --> 00:19:16,266 he said he hit his wife 278 00:19:16,266 --> 00:19:18,133 over the head with a candlestick, 279 00:19:18,133 --> 00:19:19,400 cut her up, 280 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,000 took her body to the factory where he worked, 281 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,867 and then dropped her in a smelter, 282 00:19:24,867 --> 00:19:27,066 where he incinerated her. 283 00:19:29,767 --> 00:19:31,867 ( narrator ) the strange woman 284 00:19:31,867 --> 00:19:34,100 seen wandering around the town of cleethorpes, 285 00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:37,033 was none other than george eckersley, 286 00:19:37,033 --> 00:19:40,200 dressed in his wife's clothing. 287 00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:44,200 it was an elaborate scheme 288 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,233 to make people think she was still alive, 289 00:19:46,233 --> 00:19:49,300 while he was writing her suicide note. 290 00:19:52,066 --> 00:19:54,700 he presents himself as a very mild-mannered family man, 291 00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:57,533 but clearly he was capable 292 00:19:57,533 --> 00:19:59,333 of one of the most evilest of crimes. 293 00:19:59,333 --> 00:20:02,000 the deception that he practiced, 294 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,066 particularly on the family was very, very cruel. 295 00:20:05,066 --> 00:20:07,567 george eckersley had taken every precaution, 296 00:20:07,567 --> 00:20:09,567 except for one. 297 00:20:09,567 --> 00:20:12,967 he never realized that by licking that envelope, 298 00:20:12,967 --> 00:20:15,567 he put himself in prison 299 00:20:15,567 --> 00:20:17,600 for the rest of his life. 300 00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,600 in 1997, a man named anthony turner 301 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,800 was arrested for the rape of three women. 302 00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:52,467 one of his victims 303 00:20:52,467 --> 00:20:54,467 said she was standing at a bus stop, 304 00:20:54,467 --> 00:20:56,033 when a man came from behind her, 305 00:20:56,033 --> 00:20:58,133 and put a knife to her throat. 306 00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:01,467 she said he dragged her into an alley, 307 00:21:01,467 --> 00:21:04,200 and then raped her repeatedly. 308 00:21:06,867 --> 00:21:09,066 not only did she identify turner, 309 00:21:09,066 --> 00:21:12,934 but his dna matched the dna samples, 310 00:21:12,934 --> 00:21:15,834 found on the other two victims. 311 00:21:17,767 --> 00:21:20,400 but he insisted that the police had made a mistake. 312 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,433 he said, "i didn't do it ! 313 00:21:22,433 --> 00:21:24,233 "there must be somebody out there, 314 00:21:24,233 --> 00:21:28,233 who looks like me and has my dna." 315 00:21:28,867 --> 00:21:31,834 the police realized that was virtually impossible, 316 00:21:31,834 --> 00:21:34,433 and threw him in jail. 317 00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:38,033 ( narrator ) several months later, 318 00:21:38,033 --> 00:21:39,900 while turner was sitting in his jail cell, 319 00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:42,300 another woman in the neighborhood 320 00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:44,166 came to the police and said 321 00:21:44,166 --> 00:21:47,367 that she also had been attacked and raped. 322 00:21:48,767 --> 00:21:51,033 when police checked the semen samples, 323 00:21:51,033 --> 00:21:53,233 that they had taken from the young woman, 324 00:21:53,233 --> 00:21:55,100 they were surprised to find 325 00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:58,567 that the dna was a perfect match for turner, 326 00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:00,700 but that was impossible, 327 00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:02,967 he had been sitting in a jail cell 328 00:22:02,967 --> 00:22:04,867 when all of this had happened. 329 00:22:04,867 --> 00:22:07,600 ( narrator ) but after being interviewed for several hours, 330 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,967 the young woman became frightened, 331 00:22:09,967 --> 00:22:12,300 and confessed to the police, 332 00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,033 that she had really never been raped. 333 00:22:16,066 --> 00:22:18,867 she had made it all up. 334 00:22:18,867 --> 00:22:21,100 she said that turner 335 00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:23,467 had mailed her a sample of his own semen, 336 00:22:23,467 --> 00:22:26,266 in a small plastic ketchup packet, 337 00:22:26,266 --> 00:22:29,266 and that she had been paid $50 by turner's family 338 00:22:29,266 --> 00:22:32,967 to place the semen somewhere on her body 339 00:22:32,967 --> 00:22:35,700 and to make up a story that she'd been raped. 340 00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:38,967 she said it was all a lie. 341 00:22:40,767 --> 00:22:42,700 ( narrator ) turner had made a futile attempt 342 00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:44,467 at fooling the police, 343 00:22:44,467 --> 00:22:47,266 but he was caught and ultimately convicted 344 00:22:47,266 --> 00:22:49,567 for the three rapes and received a sentence 345 00:22:49,567 --> 00:22:52,800 of 120 years in prison. 346 00:22:53,266 --> 00:22:56,033 he didn't realize that the odds 347 00:22:56,033 --> 00:22:58,700 of two people having the same dna 348 00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:02,900 is almost three trillion to one. 349 00:23:13,166 --> 00:23:16,266 ( dog barking ) 350 00:23:23,834 --> 00:23:26,734 ( narrator ) on the morning of december 22nd, 1999, 351 00:23:26,734 --> 00:23:29,900 at a diner in dearborn, michigan, 352 00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:33,600 customers began complaining about a horrible odor 353 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,500 coming from the grease dumpster behind the restaurant, 354 00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:41,000 they said that it smelled like rotting meat. 355 00:23:42,467 --> 00:23:45,066 when detectives arrived and looked in the bin, 356 00:23:45,066 --> 00:23:49,767 they found plastic bags containing human arms and legs 357 00:23:49,767 --> 00:23:52,233 that were beginning to decay. 358 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,200 when i arrived at the restaurant, 359 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,600 i looked into the bag. 360 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,200 i saw the limbs. 361 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,633 and it's hard to describe your feeling 362 00:24:04,633 --> 00:24:07,533 when you see something like that. 363 00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:11,133 i have been a police officer for 35 years. 364 00:24:11,133 --> 00:24:13,800 i have never seen a person 365 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,533 cut apart like that before. 366 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,433 ( narrator ) the torso, 367 00:24:19,433 --> 00:24:21,467 as well as the head, were missing. 368 00:24:21,467 --> 00:24:25,900 and the fingertips had been sliced off. 369 00:24:26,266 --> 00:24:29,266 there was no way to identify the body. 370 00:24:31,333 --> 00:24:33,400 so, police, after taking blood samples, 371 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,533 stored the body parts in the freezer of a local morgue. 372 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,200 several days later, 373 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,333 on a farm located over 60 miles away, 374 00:24:45,333 --> 00:24:49,266 a farmer found another plastic bag 375 00:24:49,266 --> 00:24:51,967 containing a dismembered body. 376 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,133 when pathologists brought the torso back to the lab, 377 00:24:57,133 --> 00:25:00,000 they found that it and the arms and legs 378 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,800 found in the dumpster had come from the same person. 379 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,834 but the police still had no head, 380 00:25:06,834 --> 00:25:09,934 and more importantly, no leads. 381 00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:15,934 the story of the murder quickly disappeared 382 00:25:15,934 --> 00:25:17,533 from the local newspapers. 383 00:25:17,533 --> 00:25:20,266 and the police lost hope of ever finding the person 384 00:25:20,266 --> 00:25:22,967 who had committed this horrible crime. 385 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,266 but several weeks later, 386 00:25:27,266 --> 00:25:29,867 they received a phone call from a woman in england, 387 00:25:29,867 --> 00:25:32,166 named anita ross, 388 00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:34,633 who said that she had been frantically 389 00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:37,600 trying to reach her sister, tracy. 390 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,667 she said tracy had gone to america 391 00:25:40,667 --> 00:25:44,333 to visit her husband and their children for christmas. 392 00:25:45,233 --> 00:25:47,533 but mrs. ross said that she never heard 393 00:25:47,533 --> 00:25:49,633 from her sister again. 394 00:25:51,266 --> 00:25:54,300 her husband, dr. azizul islam, 395 00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:57,633 was a well-respected biochemist. 396 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,767 he and tracy had been happily married for 17 years. 397 00:26:03,934 --> 00:26:08,533 here they're celebrating their daughters 19th birthday. 398 00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:12,367 but just one year later, 399 00:26:12,367 --> 00:26:14,867 tracy and her husband separated. 400 00:26:15,633 --> 00:26:18,667 he assumed responsibility for the kids 401 00:26:18,667 --> 00:26:22,467 and she went back to england to stay with her sister. 402 00:26:28,867 --> 00:26:31,266 when detectives went to the home of dr. islam, 403 00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:34,400 he told them that he and his wife had had an argument, 404 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,667 and that she left for england the next day. 405 00:26:39,333 --> 00:26:41,800 commander carroll and i asked dr. islam, 406 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,967 if he would like us to check his house, 407 00:26:44,967 --> 00:26:49,100 to see if, in fact, somebody had broken into the house, 408 00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:52,233 and he requested that we did do that. 409 00:26:56,967 --> 00:26:59,700 ( narrator ) detectives searched his house, 410 00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:04,166 but found nothing out of the ordinary. 411 00:27:05,567 --> 00:27:09,033 then they went down to the basement. 412 00:27:13,433 --> 00:27:16,066 the basement floor had been freshly painted, 413 00:27:16,066 --> 00:27:19,300 but only in certain areas, 414 00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:21,600 where the washer and dryer sat, 415 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,767 the floor had been painted around those items. 416 00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:26,834 there was a roller and a paint tray 417 00:27:26,834 --> 00:27:28,800 with fresh paint still on it, 418 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,300 and we asked the doctor about when the floor was painted. 419 00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:35,767 he stated that he had begun painting the floor 420 00:27:35,767 --> 00:27:37,367 after his return from new york. 421 00:27:37,367 --> 00:27:38,934 and the reason he was painting it, 422 00:27:38,934 --> 00:27:41,633 was because he wanted to sell the house, 423 00:27:41,633 --> 00:27:44,467 and he wanted to move to new york. 424 00:27:44,467 --> 00:27:44,533 ( narrator ) detectives did not believe his story. 425 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,834 they felt that the fresh paint on the floor 426 00:27:50,834 --> 00:27:54,467 indicated that he was covering something up. 427 00:27:55,467 --> 00:28:00,533 forensic pathologists recommended that they call on eagle, 428 00:28:00,533 --> 00:28:03,567 a cadaver dog that was world renowned 429 00:28:03,567 --> 00:28:05,633 for his talent in detecting blood 430 00:28:05,633 --> 00:28:07,633 and human remains. 431 00:28:10,867 --> 00:28:13,333 eagle had recently been in panama, 432 00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:15,533 where he helped the government locate victims 433 00:28:15,533 --> 00:28:18,834 that were murdered and buried by the noreiga government. 434 00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:24,066 so, eagle and his trainer, sandy anderson, 435 00:28:24,066 --> 00:28:25,633 were called into the case. 436 00:28:25,633 --> 00:28:27,667 from the minute we walked into that house 437 00:28:27,667 --> 00:28:31,133 that dog was headed for a stairway. 438 00:28:32,767 --> 00:28:35,633 that stairway belonged to the basement. 439 00:28:37,033 --> 00:28:39,266 from the time we hit that basement, 440 00:28:39,266 --> 00:28:42,500 he would down and bark and touch. 441 00:28:43,834 --> 00:28:45,967 and the matter of fact, one of the first things 442 00:28:45,967 --> 00:28:47,367 he hit on was a paint roller, 443 00:28:47,367 --> 00:28:48,867 in a paint tray, in paint. 444 00:28:48,867 --> 00:28:50,600 and there were other paint trays around it, 445 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,667 but he didn't focus on those, he only focused on this one 446 00:28:52,667 --> 00:28:54,767 particular paint tray with some wet paint. 447 00:28:54,767 --> 00:28:57,066 and then a paint can and then the floor, 448 00:28:57,066 --> 00:28:59,467 he was hitting all over the floor. 449 00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:02,333 and he started hitting on a mop, 450 00:29:02,333 --> 00:29:05,433 and a shopvac. 451 00:29:05,433 --> 00:29:07,066 he was obsessed with the shopvac. 452 00:29:07,066 --> 00:29:08,967 we had to pull him off of it. 453 00:29:08,967 --> 00:29:11,100 and i turned to the detective 454 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:13,233 with the first indication and said, 455 00:29:13,233 --> 00:29:15,600 "my dog says there is human remains in here, 456 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,033 "my assumption is, based on my experience 457 00:29:19,033 --> 00:29:21,834 and his indication, that it's human blood." 458 00:29:24,066 --> 00:29:26,467 ( narrator ) detectives returned with a search warrant, 459 00:29:26,467 --> 00:29:28,533 and sprayed the basement with luminol, 460 00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:32,266 a chemical that is used to detect the presence of blood. 461 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,800 when they were done, 462 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,433 the luminol proved that eagle was right, 463 00:29:40,433 --> 00:29:44,767 it revealed the presence of tiny droplets of blood 464 00:29:44,767 --> 00:29:47,734 on the paint roller and on the floor. 465 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,600 the amazing thing was the dog located 466 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,734 not really large quantities of blood under the paint, 467 00:29:53,734 --> 00:29:55,834 but small quantities of blood. 468 00:29:55,834 --> 00:29:58,734 somebody had made an effort to do a very good clean-up job. 469 00:29:58,734 --> 00:30:01,467 same thing with the mop, same thing with the wall, 470 00:30:01,467 --> 00:30:03,367 same thing with the shopvac. 471 00:30:03,367 --> 00:30:05,200 we weren't talking about blood spills, 472 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,533 we were talking about blood splatter evidence, 473 00:30:07,533 --> 00:30:10,333 and all of this had been concealed 474 00:30:10,333 --> 00:30:13,467 either with cleaning fluids or paint. 475 00:30:14,066 --> 00:30:16,133 but there was plenty there to obtain, 476 00:30:16,133 --> 00:30:18,567 and plenty there to prove, that it was indeed 477 00:30:18,567 --> 00:30:21,033 dr. islam's missing wife. 478 00:30:22,233 --> 00:30:24,767 ( narrator ) pathologists found that the dna in the blood 479 00:30:24,767 --> 00:30:27,567 matched the dna found 480 00:30:27,567 --> 00:30:29,934 in his wife's dismembered body. 481 00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:32,734 eagle had uncovered the evidence 482 00:30:32,734 --> 00:30:34,433 that would send dr. islam to jail 483 00:30:34,433 --> 00:30:36,867 for the rest of his life. 484 00:30:37,934 --> 00:30:40,300 sandra anderson and eagle, 485 00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:43,934 were the main players in solving the homicide 486 00:30:43,934 --> 00:30:46,867 of tracy islam. 487 00:30:46,867 --> 00:30:49,467 without eagle, we would've never obtained the search warrant, 488 00:30:49,467 --> 00:30:51,700 and without the search warrant, 489 00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:54,700 dr. islam would not have been brought to trial. 490 00:31:05,967 --> 00:31:07,967 ( narrator ) 52-year-old kay sybers 491 00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:10,934 lay dead on an embalming table. 492 00:31:11,133 --> 00:31:15,567 she was being prepared for her funeral. 493 00:31:16,934 --> 00:31:21,000 her blood was slowly being replaced with formalin, 494 00:31:22,667 --> 00:31:25,867 so that her body would not immediately decay. 495 00:31:27,467 --> 00:31:30,100 the procedure was routine, 496 00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:33,934 but apparently her death was not. 497 00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:47,300 dr. william sybers, 498 00:31:47,300 --> 00:31:50,000 chief medical examiner of north west florida, 499 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,633 and his wife, kay, 500 00:31:51,633 --> 00:31:54,633 had been married for over 30 years. 501 00:31:56,233 --> 00:31:58,467 but on the morning of may 30th, 1991, 502 00:31:58,467 --> 00:32:02,533 kay sybers suddenly died. 503 00:32:05,467 --> 00:32:07,800 dr. sybers told police 504 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,033 that at 5:00 that morning, 505 00:32:10,033 --> 00:32:12,967 his wife suddenly awoke from her sleep. 506 00:32:13,667 --> 00:32:15,900 dr. sybers said his wife had woke him up, 507 00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:18,834 and was complaining of chest pains, 508 00:32:18,834 --> 00:32:21,433 and pains radiating down her left arm. 509 00:32:21,433 --> 00:32:24,900 he said that he tried to draw blood from her, 510 00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,567 to prove to her that she had diabetes 511 00:32:28,567 --> 00:32:31,400 and that she needed to go 512 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,467 to a physician to check that. 513 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,967 ( narrator ) dr. sybers went on to say 514 00:32:37,967 --> 00:32:39,533 that after a few hours, 515 00:32:39,533 --> 00:32:43,200 his wife was feeling better, so, he left to go to work. 516 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,166 he called one of his investigators 517 00:32:47,166 --> 00:32:49,433 who works for him as a medical examiner investigator, 518 00:32:49,433 --> 00:32:51,934 to go check on his wife. 519 00:32:53,834 --> 00:32:56,700 ( narrator ) by the time they arrived at the sybers home, 520 00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:58,367 some three hours later, 521 00:32:58,367 --> 00:33:01,133 kay sybers was dead. 522 00:33:03,166 --> 00:33:06,934 as soon as he was told by the people 523 00:33:06,934 --> 00:33:09,633 he had sent out to check on mrs. sybers 524 00:33:09,633 --> 00:33:12,300 that mrs. sybers was dead, 525 00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:14,834 his first words were "no autopsy". 526 00:33:14,834 --> 00:33:16,900 ( narrator ) dr. sybers explained 527 00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:18,700 that his wife had said on many occasions, 528 00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:22,200 that she never wanted to be autopsied. 529 00:33:23,567 --> 00:33:25,767 so, later that day, on her husband's orders, 530 00:33:25,767 --> 00:33:29,033 mrs. sybers' body was sent to the southerland funeral home 531 00:33:29,033 --> 00:33:31,233 to be embalmed. 532 00:33:38,333 --> 00:33:40,467 i knew kay sybers very well, 533 00:33:40,467 --> 00:33:43,600 over 10 years of association with her husband. 534 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,000 frequently ate dinner with her, 535 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,633 and still knew her to be in good health. 536 00:33:49,633 --> 00:33:52,066 and i was shocked that she died 537 00:33:52,066 --> 00:33:54,033 of a massive heart attack. 538 00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:56,734 ( narrator ) authorities were disturbed 539 00:33:56,734 --> 00:33:58,900 that william sybers did not follow protocol 540 00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:01,033 and have his wife autopsied. 541 00:34:03,367 --> 00:34:05,934 so, on the recommendations of state medical examiners 542 00:34:05,934 --> 00:34:08,533 and despite her husband's protest, 543 00:34:08,533 --> 00:34:11,333 mrs. sybers' body was sent to the morgue 544 00:34:11,333 --> 00:34:15,533 at sacred heart hospital to be examined by a pathologist. 545 00:34:17,567 --> 00:34:21,367 at the autopsy, it was found that mrs. sybers 546 00:34:21,367 --> 00:34:24,500 did indeed have needle marks in her arm, 547 00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:27,633 supporting sybers' story. 548 00:34:27,633 --> 00:34:31,333 but when the pathologist removed the heart, 549 00:34:31,333 --> 00:34:34,000 they found that it was perfectly normal, 550 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,100 normal in size, normal in shape, 551 00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:41,000 the coronary arteries were widely open, 552 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,767 there was no evidence of a heart attack. 553 00:34:43,767 --> 00:34:47,200 the blood in the body had already been replaced 554 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,400 by embalming fluid, 555 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,000 so it was very difficult to gather 556 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,333 any evidence for toxicology. 557 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,700 but because her death was still a mystery, 558 00:34:58,700 --> 00:35:00,834 the pathologist removed her heart 559 00:35:00,834 --> 00:35:03,400 and portions of her liver, 560 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,133 and put them in jars filled with formalin, 561 00:35:06,133 --> 00:35:10,166 in order to preserve them for further investigation. 562 00:35:10,734 --> 00:35:12,767 when the autopsy was finished, 563 00:35:12,767 --> 00:35:15,400 the pathologist, out of frustration, 564 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,133 put down on the death certificate, 565 00:35:18,133 --> 00:35:23,266 "sudden unexpected death due to undetermined causes". 566 00:35:23,266 --> 00:35:24,900 in other words, 567 00:35:24,900 --> 00:35:28,567 he couldn't figure out what the cause of death was. 568 00:35:29,633 --> 00:35:31,800 ( narrator ) but the police grew more suspicious 569 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,533 when they learned that for the past six months 570 00:35:33,533 --> 00:35:36,233 dr. sybers had been having an affair 571 00:35:36,233 --> 00:35:38,867 with a woman named judy ray. 572 00:35:39,767 --> 00:35:42,033 but without a cause of death, 573 00:35:42,033 --> 00:35:44,567 authorities still had no case. 574 00:35:44,567 --> 00:35:46,400 there was still no evidence 575 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,433 that a crime had even been committed. 576 00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:54,400 a year later, sybers married ms. ray, 577 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,767 and they moved to british columbia 578 00:35:56,767 --> 00:35:58,467 to begin a new life. 579 00:35:59,633 --> 00:36:02,066 but timothy sybers, the youngest son, 580 00:36:02,066 --> 00:36:05,200 never got over his mother's death. 581 00:36:06,633 --> 00:36:12,133 and on february 21st, 1993, at his home in wisconsin, 582 00:36:12,133 --> 00:36:14,700 he took his own life. 583 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,400 dr. sybers' son, 584 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,433 while on the phone with his girlfriend 585 00:36:19,433 --> 00:36:20,734 mentioned something about 586 00:36:20,734 --> 00:36:23,000 that he could not live with the fact 587 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,200 that his father had killed his mother. 588 00:36:26,567 --> 00:36:28,800 i believed that he had placed the shot gun in his mouth. 589 00:36:35,333 --> 00:36:38,967 ( narrator ) but kay sybers' death would not be forgotten. 590 00:36:40,233 --> 00:36:42,533 through the years forensic experts 591 00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:44,700 would continue to examine the tissues 592 00:36:44,700 --> 00:36:46,734 that were preserved from the autopsy, 593 00:36:46,734 --> 00:36:50,633 looking for a cause of death. 594 00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:57,734 finally, in the year 2000, 595 00:36:57,734 --> 00:37:01,000 at the national medical services laboratory in pennsylvania, 596 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,166 scientists armed with new 597 00:37:04,166 --> 00:37:06,333 and more sensitive testing procedures 598 00:37:06,333 --> 00:37:08,767 made an incredible discovery. 599 00:37:08,767 --> 00:37:10,567 what we found in these tissues 600 00:37:10,567 --> 00:37:15,133 was the unequivocal presence of succinylmonocholine. 601 00:37:15,133 --> 00:37:20,066 the levels that we saw in the kidney and the brain 602 00:37:20,066 --> 00:37:22,400 would be enough to paralyze someone, 603 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,667 which in turn, if someone is paralyzed, 604 00:37:24,667 --> 00:37:26,800 has their diaphragm paralyzed, 605 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,467 and they're not on a respirator, 606 00:37:28,467 --> 00:37:30,433 they suffocate to death. 607 00:37:30,433 --> 00:37:32,600 but it's not particularly difficult to obtain, 608 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,600 particularly in a hospital setting. 609 00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,500 ( narrator ) nine years after her death, 610 00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:42,367 the riddle of why kay sybers died 611 00:37:42,367 --> 00:37:45,133 had finally been solved. 612 00:37:45,967 --> 00:37:48,000 her husband, dr. william sybers 613 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,033 had injected her with an overdose of succinylcholine, 614 00:37:52,033 --> 00:37:55,300 putting her to sleep forever. 615 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,166 on march 23rd, 2001, 616 00:38:00,166 --> 00:38:03,033 dr. william sybers finally stood before a judge, 617 00:38:03,033 --> 00:38:07,333 with his new wife, judy ray, looking on. 618 00:38:07,333 --> 00:38:10,066 ( female ) we, the jury, find the defendant guilty 619 00:38:10,066 --> 00:38:12,934 of first degree murder, as charged in the indictment. 620 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,867 ( sobbing ) 621 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000 what is ironic about this case, 622 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,133 is that dr. sybers, a forensic pathologist, 623 00:38:35,133 --> 00:38:40,567 believed that embalming would destroy the succinylcholine 624 00:38:40,567 --> 00:38:42,734 that he had used to kill his wife, 625 00:38:42,734 --> 00:38:46,567 but instead, the embalming had preserved the drug, 626 00:38:46,567 --> 00:38:51,100 so that it could be discovered 10 years later. 627 00:38:52,867 --> 00:38:55,333 ( narrator ) it took 10 years and forensic science 628 00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:58,066 to bring dr. william sybers to justice, 629 00:38:58,066 --> 00:39:01,367 but only four hours for the jury to convict him, 630 00:39:01,367 --> 00:39:04,900 and hand down the verdict of life in prison. 631 00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:31,633 in 1931, in los angeles, 632 00:39:31,633 --> 00:39:34,333 a 72-year-old woman named esther carlson 633 00:39:34,333 --> 00:39:36,033 went on trial 634 00:39:36,033 --> 00:39:39,133 for poisoning a man named august lindstrom. 635 00:39:41,734 --> 00:39:44,767 but no one knew much about this woman, 636 00:39:44,767 --> 00:39:47,900 nor just how evil she really was. 637 00:39:59,667 --> 00:40:03,233 our story begins in the year 1900, 638 00:40:03,233 --> 00:40:07,300 with a 41-year-old woman named belle sorenson. 639 00:40:09,433 --> 00:40:11,467 she and her husband mads, 640 00:40:11,467 --> 00:40:15,000 had been married for only six years when he died. 641 00:40:16,233 --> 00:40:17,967 to make matters worse, 642 00:40:17,967 --> 00:40:20,600 she had already lost two of her children 643 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,400 to what doctors described 644 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,700 as a mysterious intestinal disease. 645 00:40:27,166 --> 00:40:30,600 in november of 1901, she took her insurance money, 646 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,633 and her two remaining children, lucy and myrtle, 647 00:40:33,633 --> 00:40:37,934 and moved to a farm in la porte, indiana. 648 00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:40,567 to support herself 649 00:40:40,567 --> 00:40:43,667 belle began to raise and slaughter hogs. 650 00:40:45,333 --> 00:40:48,934 at over six feet, and weighing over 200 pounds, 651 00:40:48,934 --> 00:40:51,567 she was a powerful woman. 652 00:40:52,767 --> 00:40:54,767 two years later, she remarried, 653 00:40:54,767 --> 00:40:58,367 this time to a man named peter gunness. 654 00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:02,834 but once again tragedy seemed to be 655 00:41:02,834 --> 00:41:05,300 a close companion to belle. 656 00:41:05,300 --> 00:41:09,100 in 1902 peter was found dead, 657 00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:11,734 lying under a large meat grinder. 658 00:41:11,734 --> 00:41:15,200 it had apparently fallen on his head, 659 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,166 crushing his skull. 660 00:41:18,867 --> 00:41:21,767 belle was once again alone. 661 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,133 very soon after peter's death, 662 00:41:25,133 --> 00:41:28,367 the widow began looking for a man. 663 00:41:29,033 --> 00:41:32,533 a man with money... 664 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,200 one gentleman who answered her ad was ralph littleton, 665 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,734 who after a short visit was never heard from again. 666 00:41:42,867 --> 00:41:45,233 another was andrew hegelein, 667 00:41:45,233 --> 00:41:47,100 who like the others that followed 668 00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:50,300 just seemed to disappear into thin air. 669 00:41:51,667 --> 00:41:56,066 in 1907 her pig farm had grown in size, 670 00:41:56,066 --> 00:41:59,700 so she hired a man named ray lamphere 671 00:41:59,700 --> 00:42:01,934 to help with the chores. 672 00:42:02,867 --> 00:42:04,467 but the next year, 673 00:42:04,467 --> 00:42:08,000 misfortune once again caught up with her. 674 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,367 a fire broke out on the farm, 675 00:42:14,367 --> 00:42:17,033 and consumed all of the buildings 676 00:42:17,033 --> 00:42:18,867 in an enormous blaze. 677 00:42:21,900 --> 00:42:24,667 several days later the sheriff and his men 678 00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:27,934 came to look for her body in the rubble. 679 00:42:28,667 --> 00:42:32,533 but what they found shocked them. 680 00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:35,633 they began to dig up bodies, 681 00:42:35,633 --> 00:42:37,166 lots of them. 682 00:42:37,166 --> 00:42:40,266 they found her boyfriend andrew hegelein. 683 00:42:40,266 --> 00:42:44,133 they identified jennie olson, one of her daughters. 684 00:42:44,133 --> 00:42:46,900 when they were done, 685 00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:49,400 they had collected 10 bodies in all. 686 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,934 the men did find the body of a headless woman, 687 00:42:52,934 --> 00:42:55,800 and a set of false teeth. 688 00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,700 but no one could be sure if belle had died, 689 00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:02,867 because the height and weight of that body 690 00:43:02,867 --> 00:43:04,767 didn't match belle. 691 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,633 even though the dentist said that the false teeth 692 00:43:08,633 --> 00:43:11,233 belonged to her. 693 00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:15,633 when the stomachs of the victims were examined, 694 00:43:15,633 --> 00:43:19,300 the toxicologist found that they all contained 695 00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:22,500 large amounts of strychnine and arsenic. 696 00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,734 which meant that belle had murdered all of suitors, 697 00:43:25,734 --> 00:43:27,700 and all of her children, 698 00:43:27,700 --> 00:43:30,200 so that she could collect the insurance money 699 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,400 on all of them. 700 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,300 ( narrator ) eyewitnesses said that they had seen ray lamphere 701 00:43:37,300 --> 00:43:42,033 with a gallon of kerosene running away from the fire. 702 00:43:43,433 --> 00:43:46,166 and in 1908, he was convicted of arson, 703 00:43:46,166 --> 00:43:49,200 and sent to prison for starting the blaze, 704 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,500 but was not implicated in the murders. 705 00:43:54,033 --> 00:43:56,500 right before he was sent to prison, he said, 706 00:43:56,500 --> 00:43:58,533 "belle must have loved me, 707 00:43:58,533 --> 00:44:01,700 "because i am the only man she never killed. 708 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,100 "she said she would've married me 709 00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:08,066 "if i had had any life insurance. 710 00:44:08,066 --> 00:44:10,834 one thing i do know," he added, 711 00:44:10,834 --> 00:44:13,400 "i know she is still alive !" 712 00:44:16,967 --> 00:44:20,800 the police spent the next 23 years looking for belle, 713 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,133 but never found her. 714 00:44:26,166 --> 00:44:30,166 which brings us back to 1931 and esther carlson. 715 00:44:30,166 --> 00:44:33,367 right before esther was to be tried for murder, 716 00:44:33,367 --> 00:44:35,800 she died. 717 00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:38,767 a neighbor from her hometown of la porte, 718 00:44:38,767 --> 00:44:40,600 recognized her picture in the paper, 719 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,000 and identified her as belle gunness. 720 00:44:46,233 --> 00:44:48,367 when police searched her room, 721 00:44:48,367 --> 00:44:50,333 they found an old steamer trunk, 722 00:44:50,333 --> 00:44:54,166 and inside was a picture of belle's little girls, 723 00:44:54,166 --> 00:44:56,633 myrtle and lucy. 724 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,767 it was estimated that belle gunness 725 00:45:01,767 --> 00:45:05,100 had butchered more than 20 people in her lifetime. 726 00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:08,367 some say that a great many of these victims 727 00:45:08,367 --> 00:45:11,767 became food for her beloved pigs. 728 00:45:13,233 --> 00:45:15,166 she was so evil 729 00:45:15,166 --> 00:45:17,667 that she became a legend in her own time. 730 00:45:17,667 --> 00:45:23,100 in fact, in 1938 they wrote a song about her, 731 00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:26,834 it goes something like this... 732 00:45:26,834 --> 00:45:32,033 ♪ in old indiana, not far from la porte ♪
