Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,720
The most notoriouskillers hide in plain sight,
2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,640
free to kill and kill again.
3
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,920
But most are not the criminalmasterminds of fiction.
4
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,880
In their minds, theycommit the perfect murder.
5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,520
In reality, it's their foolishmistakes that get them caught.
6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,074
7
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:53,600
California, Boxing Day, 1972.
8
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,440
A body of a young man isfound on the 405 Freeway.
9
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,440
He's identified as Edward
Daniel Moore, a marine
10
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,200
from the nearby Camp
Pendleton barracks.
11
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:11,680
He has been sodomized
and strangled.
12
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,200
There's no question
that Southern
13
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:15,640
California, at that time,was Serial Killer Central.
14
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,680
I mean, you know, we
now know that there
15
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:18,960
were at least three
different serial
16
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,200
killers operating in that area.
17
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:21,560
Perhaps more.
18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,680
There was a body turning
up on a weekly basis--
19
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,840
almost a daily basis.
20
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:30,680
1974, the
body of a young man
21
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,920
is found in a remote desertarea off the freeway.
22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,200
He is identified
as Malcolm Little,
23
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:45,920
a 20-year-old who was last seenhitchhiking across the state.
24
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,320
His body has been
horribly abused.
25
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,920
The details are
just quite shocking.
26
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,840
Incredibly brutal.
27
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,920
Four months
later, another body is
28
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,600
found near San Diego Freeway.
29
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,720
It's identified as James Reeves.
30
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,600
He, too, has experienced
unimaginable torture
31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,800
at the hands of his killer.
32
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,760
These are just three
bodies of over 100,
33
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,760
that are found on
or around California
34
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,080
freeways over a 10-year period.
35
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Just a whole community wasgripped by this sort of--
36
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,200
You know, you couldn't turn thenews on without seeing reports
37
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,440
of a new body being found.
38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,160
Ironically, of course,
that also made it
39
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,080
the perfect environment
for a new serial killer
40
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,240
to operate in.
41
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Policeman, likepatrolman Sergeant Howard,
42
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,680
are on the hunt.
43
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,040
One of the briefing
items that I'd read
44
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,080
was to be on the lookout
for someone who had been
45
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720
dumping bodies on the freeway--
46
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,560
which is kind of graphic.
47
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,360
Then one
night, in May 1983,
48
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,400
Howard is patrolling
for drunk drivers
49
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,280
and stolen vehicles inMission Viejo, California.
50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,680
The night thegraveyard shift came on--
51
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,480
that was the shift
that I was working--
52
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,880
we observed this Toyota Celica.
53
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,040
And it was having difficultystaying in its lane.
54
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,640
We followed it for
a little while.
55
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Sergeant
Howard and his partner
56
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,400
decide to pull the car over.
57
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,960
We activated the red lights.
58
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,760
He didn't respond to
red-and-blue lights
59
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,200
as most motorists would.
60
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,640
After severalminutes, the car finally stops.
61
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Crime writer Mark
Billingham has studied
62
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,000
the events of that night.
63
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,760
He parked the car veryclose to the, kind of, rails,
64
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,000
so that the passenger doorcouldn't be opened easily.
65
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,240
The driver stepped
out immediately.
66
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,080
He knocked out a beer bottleonto the ground, that broke.
67
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,640
And as he stepped
out, his appearance
68
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,560
was a little unusual.
69
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,880
He was there with his
trousers unbuttoned.
70
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,840
We could smell the
odor of alcohol.
71
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,040
Of course the beer
was on the ground.
72
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,880
Proceeded to take him up
to the front of the car.
73
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,280
The cops put him througha standard sobriety test--
74
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,080
you know, can you walk in astraight line and whatever.
75
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,320
It was obvious
that he was drunk.
76
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,040
So they then went
to look in the car.
77
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,440
As I walked forward, I sawthat there was a passenger
78
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,480
in the right front seat.
79
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,720
The policenotice a vial of lorazepam,
80
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,760
a strong tranquilizer.
81
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,080
The passenger was out cold.
82
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,400
He has a jacket over his lap.
83
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,120
When I pulled the
jacket off his lap,
84
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,920
I noticed several things
that were problematic.
85
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,880
First of all, his trousers weredown, and in a position where
86
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,320
it elevated his genitalia.
87
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,640
He had strangle-marks
around his neck.
88
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,360
Clearly there was somethingvery dodgy going on.
89
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,640
The driver's
papers identify him
90
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:54,640
as Randy Kraft, a 38-year-oldcomputer programmer.
91
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,080
He is cuffed and put inthe back of the police car.
92
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,400
But Sergeant Howard'sunnerved by his behavior.
93
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,400
He was very, very calmthrough this whole thing.
94
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,080
And he was asking
how's my friend,
95
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:15,040
which was interesting, becausehe knew exactly how he was.
96
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,640
The passengerwas a 25-year-old marine--
97
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,160
Terry Lee Gambrel.
98
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:26,880
That night he was trying tohitchhike his way to a party.
99
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,280
The paramedics came andtried to do some resuscitation,
100
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,360
but it was well
beyond that time.
101
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,040
Gambrel is dead.
102
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Kraft is taken into custody,and the questioning begins.
103
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,920
The following
morning, Jimmy White,
104
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,680
forensics expert
for Orange County,
105
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,400
is called to inspect the car.
106
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,960
I got called--
107
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,680
I think, it was around 7o'clock Saturday morning.
108
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,800
Told me that the
arrest had been made,
109
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,680
and there was a body in the car.
110
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,360
Got myself ready,
and got up there.
111
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520
White and histeam examined the Celica.
112
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,120
I think it would besafe to say that he didn't
113
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,720
keep a particularly clean car.
114
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,120
There was all sorts
of rubbish in there.
115
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,280
There were, you know,
bits of forestry,
116
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,520
and, you know, all
sorts of nonsense,
117
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,080
and papers scattered everywhere.
118
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,560
As White picks
through the rubbish,
119
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,040
he makes an important discovery.
120
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Then they open the
boot, and that was
121
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,920
when they kind of hit pay dirt.
122
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:43,240
I did find a notebook
that had entries.
123
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440
A whole series of,
kind of, strange words--
124
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,320
what looked like codes,and initials, and numbers.
125
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,600
The page appears to bea collection of random words--
126
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:08,520
"stable," "EDM," "Portlandblue," "user," "MC Laguna."
127
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,520
It was fairly clear toinvestigators early on that
128
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,360
this piece of paper, with thisrandom collection of place
129
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,760
names, and numbers, andinitials, was very important--
130
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,240
was crucial to the
investigation-- but they
131
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,800
couldn't work out what it was.
132
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Investigators
wonder if this list
133
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,960
could lead to more victims.
134
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,480
That was kind of
the word I think I
135
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,840
heard more than anything else.
136
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,520
It was a list.
137
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,560
It was a list of descriptions,sometimes locations, you know,
138
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:45,080
descriptions of either
people or places.
139
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,440
But it certainly
seemed to be important.
140
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:51,320
If their
hunch is right,
141
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,040
and it is a list
of victims, they've
142
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,680
stumbled upon one
of the most prolific
143
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,600
serial killers in history.
144
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,880
There are over 60
entries on the list.
145
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,760
Police in Southern
California have
146
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,680
pulled over a swerving vehicle.
147
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,560
The driver is Randy Kraft.
148
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,000
His passenger MarineTerry Lee Gambrel is dead.
149
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,600
They believe Kraft killed him.
150
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,360
As investigators dig in, theyquestion whether this victim
151
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,280
could be one of many.
152
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,520
They begin to wonder if Krafthas contributed to the 100
153
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,800
or more bodies foundacross California freeways
154
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,160
over the past 10 years.
155
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,200
Bodies were found,
for the most part,
156
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,160
along the side of the road.
157
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,240
Sometimes the were nude.
158
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,400
Sometimes they were clothed.
159
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,000
These cases were
mounting, and occurring
160
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,160
more and more frequently.
161
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,120
Many of the
victims are young men.
162
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,760
Many have been plied
with drugs and alcohol,
163
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,400
and several have beenfound with foreign objects
164
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,240
inserted into their rectums.
165
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,760
On that May evening in
1983, Sergeant Howard
166
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,240
wonders, as who discoversa Toyota with a dead body
167
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,960
in the passenger seat, ifhe has found the killer
168
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,280
his force has been looking for.
169
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,080
And realize that this
might be that person
170
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,840
who the Sheriff's departmenthad notified us about.
171
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,000
This might be that
serial killer.
172
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,240
I thought it was very fortunatethat we were on patrol,
173
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,280
and just happened to be in theright spot, at the right time.
174
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,920
A sheet
of paper that looks
175
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,480
like a list has already beenfound in the trunk of the car.
176
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,200
As forensics continue to
pick apart the Toyota,
177
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,880
there are several other itemswhich arouse suspicions.
178
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,720
When I picked up the floormat on the driver's side,
179
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,360
there's this envelope
underneath it.
180
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,680
In a brown
envelope, White
181
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,480
finds a gruesome collectionof 47 photographs.
182
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,520
One is of a manreclining on a gold sofa.
183
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,640
He appears to be dead.
184
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,040
They found Polaroid's
kind of other victims,
185
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,320
or what could be victims.
186
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,320
And the
discoveries get worse.
187
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,480
The passenger seat
is soaked with blood,
188
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,720
but Gambrel, the dead passenger,appears to have no open wounds.
189
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,040
The blood can't be his.
190
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,200
It suggests the car hasbeen used to carry someone
191
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,040
else, badly injured or dead.
192
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:03,880
The police believe the driverof the car has killed before,
193
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,120
and they are now
even more convinced
194
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040
that the list found in thetrunk is a list of victims.
195
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,800
Police need to find out moreabout the driver of the car--
196
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,800
Randy Kraft.
197
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Whilst they try to pick
apart his background,
198
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,960
other investigators
analyze the list
199
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,280
to see if they can match any ofCalifornia's unsolved murders
200
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,760
with any of the
seemingly random words.
201
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,520
It was obvious to
investigators very early
202
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760
on, that this
so-called scorecard--
203
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,280
what became known as the
scorecard-- was a very
204
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,840
important piece of evidence.
205
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,640
But it was incredibly
hard to decipher.
206
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,800
It was just a random collectionof place names, of initials,
207
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,120
of numbers.
208
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,080
But they kept working it.
209
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,680
They kept looking at it.
210
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,480
And eventually, they were ableto crack a couple of them.
211
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,680
It was to
be painstaking work.
212
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,680
Police needed to go
back to the early 70s,
213
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,560
and forensically
examine cases of bodies
214
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:10,480
dumped by the freeways to see ifthey can make any connections.
215
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:20,040
The first success is entrynumber three on the scorecard--
216
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:20,960
"EDM."
217
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Police link it to
a body discovered
218
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,280
over 10 years earlier, in 1972.
219
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600
They cracked one
entry on it, which
220
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,280
was simply the letters "EDM".
221
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,800
And finally, they were able tolink that to a missing Marine,
222
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,120
called Edward Daniel Moore.
223
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,160
And at that point,
I think that was
224
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,560
when the investigators
really knew what
225
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:49,720
it was they were looking at.
226
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,520
The police
know of at least 10
227
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,800
more Marines that
have been murdered
228
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,320
or have gone missing
over the years.
229
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,280
They try and match them toother chilling references
230
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,080
to Marines on the list--
231
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,080
"MARINE DOWN", "Navy
white," "Marine
232
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,280
Head BP," "Marine Carsan."
233
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:17,080
Julie Haney was a cold caseinvestigator for the NCIS.
234
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,320
Marines would have
been out on weekends.
235
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,520
They would have
been going to bars.
236
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,640
They would have been drinking.
237
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,880
They would have
been socializing,
238
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,440
And maybe available to
him out late at night.
239
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,560
And also hitchhiking.
240
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Hitchhiking was
big in the 1970s,
241
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,240
here in Southern California.
242
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,520
They would have
made great victims.
243
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,800
Marine
Roger Dickerson--
244
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:47,600
18-- was last seen alive at abar in San Clemente in 1974.
245
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,480
His dead body wasdiscovered a few days later.
246
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,560
Jim White was theforensics expert for Orange
247
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200
County Sheriffs at the time.
248
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,800
Dickerson-- he was
found in South Laguna.
249
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:02,960
He was body dumped.
250
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:13,600
I went to that crime scenewhere the body was found.
251
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,640
Police
believe Dickerson is
252
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,000
"MC Laguna" on the scorecard.
253
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,760
He has been sodomized
and strangled.
254
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,160
There are bite marks
on Dickerson's genitals
255
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,240
and left nipple.
256
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,760
Many of the bodies
found over the years
257
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,400
have been mutilated
in a similar way.
258
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,840
Most of the victims werebitten, and in my experience,
259
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,720
a bite mark is a very
primal, sexual act.
260
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,440
With Kraft incustody and his list in hand,
261
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,080
police are able to
connect the crimes.
262
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,600
But at the time, they
seem slow to respond.
263
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,880
Had the victims of
all these crimes been,
264
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,160
you know, young
white women, there
265
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,600
would have been
rather a greater will
266
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,960
to find these killers quicker.
267
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,320
But they were all young menwho indulged in a lifestyle
268
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,320
that even then was
still very marginalized.
269
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,280
But now policehave a suspect in custody.
270
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,120
Investigators delve deepto try to understand just
271
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,120
who is this mystery
man, and what could have
272
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,640
driven Randy Kraft to kill.
273
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,960
Police are convinced
Randy Kraft is
274
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,560
responsible for a seriesof brutal unsolved murders
275
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,080
over the past 10 years.
276
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,160
In a bid to understand why,they pick apart his childhood.
277
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,280
Randy Kraft's childhood
was fairly uneventful.
278
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,360
His father was
extremely distant,
279
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,080
but his mother was doting.
280
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,640
This kind of distant
father leads to people
281
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,480
that kind of achieve a lot.
282
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,320
They tend to strive
for attention.
283
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,520
They're very much
pushed, and supported,
284
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,520
and felt secure by the mother.
285
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,080
But unfortunately, this
is also the background
286
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,000
of many serial killers.
287
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:23,000
There is littlefor the police to go on.
288
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:27,000
The first hints of anythingusual is when Kraft is 21.
289
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,920
There are unconfirmedreports that he was arrested
290
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,360
on suspicion of lewdconduct, after propositioning
291
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,400
an undercover cop.
292
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:47,160
But because it's his firstarrest, he's let off.
293
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,440
Two years later, he
joins the US Air Force.
294
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,040
He's bright and does well.
295
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,960
He's given a security
clearance, and rises
296
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,840
quickly through the ranks.
297
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,120
He was a hardworking,
workaholic.
298
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,200
An obsessively
driving individual,
299
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,560
and probably achieve morethan his fellow aircraftsmen.
300
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,400
And he did not have much
problem in achieving
301
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,840
in the eyes of his superiorswithin the Air Force.
302
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,680
But it's
that he begins to show
303
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,640
signs of homosexual tendencies.
304
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,240
Just over a year after
he joined the Air Force,
305
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:29,440
Randy Kraft, as it were, blewhis cover as a gay person
306
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,680
within the Air Force.
307
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,600
He walked into his
superior's office,
308
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,120
and basically came
out in front of them.
309
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,840
It was an escape route, withdignity, from the military.
310
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,080
And with a certain
amount of credibility
311
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,440
and his own achievement intact.
312
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,560
Kraft takes
a job at the Boy Shed,
313
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,720
a gay bar on Sunset
Beach, and starts
314
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,480
living an openly gay lifestyle.
315
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,840
I met him back in the 60s.
316
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,440
We used to work together atthis club in Sunset Beach.
317
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,640
We were both bartenders.
318
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,400
John Garcia
first met Randy
319
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Kraft when they both workedat the Boy Shed, in 1962.
320
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,720
Garcia later went on to
open Ripples, Southern
321
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,080
California's first gay bar.
322
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,400
I knew as a customer here.
323
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,480
His boyfriend at the timeworked for me here at Ripples.
324
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:41,200
So Randy would come in,and at times wait for him.
325
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,200
Kraft maintainsnormal gay relationships,
326
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,160
but at some point his
killing spree begins.
327
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,240
It is possible
that he was wreaking
328
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,960
some kind of strange
revenge for having
329
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,760
to sort of be in
a repressed state
330
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,480
for over a year
within the military.
331
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,400
And this could have
been him fighting back.
332
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,880
The police study thefirst entry on the scorecard.
333
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,520
5th of October 1971,
South Orange County.
334
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,720
Police discover a
man's naked decomposing
335
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,000
body beside Ortega Freeway.
336
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:34,720
The body is identified asWayne Dukette, a bartender
337
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,480
from Huntington Beach.
338
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,320
Dukette's body was
found a couple of weeks
339
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,280
after he'd gone
missing, in a very
340
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,840
bad state of decomposition.
341
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,800
So it was very difficult toestablish cause of death,
342
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,520
and accurate time of death.
343
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,440
But the police, local lawenforcement, very much under
344
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,800
pressure to close the case, tocome up with a cause of death.
345
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,680
So they put it down to
alcohol intoxication.
346
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,880
Dukette workedat a gay bar called Stable.
347
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,200
Stable's was the first
entry on that scorecard,
348
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,560
which is why police believehe was Kraft's first victim.
349
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:11,080
Over
the next 10 years,
350
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,800
Kraft picks up and invitesa series of young men
351
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,240
back to his flat.
352
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:20,360
He drugs them and
has sex with them.
353
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:26,720
Some he goes on to murder,then takes that photo.
354
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,160
It's these images thatare found in Kraft's car.
355
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,800
Randy Kraft kept photographsof victims in various postures.
356
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,520
This would seem like
you're actually walking
357
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,120
around with evidence on you.
358
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,960
But Holmes
understands why
359
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,800
a person as driven and obsessiveas Kraft might do this.
360
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,240
He possibly
couldn't really help
361
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,080
this, because he is obsessive.
362
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,760
He couldn't really let go of allthe images-- the experiences.
363
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,440
And in some way, it maintainshis obsessive control
364
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,040
over the victims--
365
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,400
to be able to look throughthe list, to be able to thumb
366
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,120
through photographs, toremember them, to revisit those
367
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,560
experiences and relive them.
368
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,280
As the years
go by, more names
369
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,120
are added to Kraft's list.
370
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Bodies found by the policeshow more and more extreme
371
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,040
forms of mutilation.
372
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,640
Most of Randy
Kraft's victims, he
373
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,880
tortured before he killed them.
374
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,240
He kept them alive
for a number of days,
375
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,000
and sexually tortured them.
376
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Genitals would be hacked off.
377
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,160
They would have thingsinserted into the rectums
378
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,320
of these victims.
379
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,160
I mean it was
quite astonishingly
380
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,120
shocking and brutal.
381
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,600
And the level oftorture continues to get worse.
382
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,000
The things that Kraft
did to one victim,
383
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:53,960
in particular Mark
Hall, really are perhaps
384
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,720
the most shocking details of anymurder I have ever come across.
385
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,840
On the 3rd of
January, 1976, the body
386
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,920
of Mark Hall, last seen at aparty in San Juan Capistrano,
387
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,440
is found.
388
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,680
First of all he caughtMark Hall's eyelids off-- cut
389
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,040
them off, or burned them off.
390
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,360
I mean, again, one can
only speculate that that
391
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,160
is because he wanted
his victims to watch
392
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,840
what was being done to him.
393
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,240
Which is horrific enough, butthen the list of things he did
394
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:23,120
to him was quite disgusting.
395
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,480
Several
parts of his body
396
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,680
have been burnt with a
car cigarette lighter.
397
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,680
He inserted a swizzle
stick into his penis,
398
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,920
and then inserted his
penis into his anus.
399
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,080
You can't imagine that degreeof horror or suffering.
400
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,360
And Kraft was able to do that.
401
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:56,000
On the
scorecard, he is forever
402
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:59,880
immortalized as New Year's Eve.
403
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:20,040
Throughout 1978, more bodiesare found on the freeway.
404
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,360
Some have been castrated.
405
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,800
There are elements
of some professionals
406
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,960
would identify as the kind offeminization of this male body.
407
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Kraft emasculated
these individuals,
408
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,160
almost trying to cajole it, ortreat it as if it was female.
409
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,200
And the
deaths keep coming.
410
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,120
In total, police
believe they have
411
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,840
found links to over 40 unsolvedmurders on the scorecard.
412
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,160
He never really consideredthat he'd get caught.
413
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,440
So why would it be a problemhaving these lists well-hidden,
414
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,040
and very well coded?
415
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,200
Because some of
these items you would
416
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,680
have to know where he killedsomeone, who was he killed,
417
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,480
and be able to
kind of cryptically
418
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,040
understand how those
two could be brought
419
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,160
together within one word--
420
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,920
or at least a place
within one word.
421
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,880
So they were kind of
meaningful to him,
422
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,080
and far less meaningful to thepeople trying to decode them.
423
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,080
But chillingly, thePolice came across Kraft twice.
424
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,880
The first time, 13
years earlier, before he
425
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,760
killed a single victim.
426
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,480
March 1970.
427
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,440
Before California driversstart coming across dead bodies
428
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:59,400
on the side of the freeway,a young runaway Joey Fancher
429
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,840
encounters a man on
Huntington Beach pier.
430
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,680
The man offers him a cigarette,and persuades young Joey
431
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,160
to come back to his apartment.
432
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,360
He shows him
pornographic pictures.
433
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,320
Straight sex.
434
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,280
Gay sex.
435
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,440
He gives him diazepam, beer.
436
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,080
Fancher describes beingbasically completely out of it.
437
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,680
Completely aware of
what was going on.
438
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,120
Completely able
to sort of think,
439
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,160
and feel, and know what
was happening to him.
440
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,720
But being unable to
do anything about it.
441
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,960
Kraft violently rapes him.
442
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,000
Then while Fancher is lyingthere bleeding, and vomiting,
443
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:41,760
and in a terrible state,
Kraft goes off to work.
444
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,120
And leaves him
there, telling him
445
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,000
that if he tells anybody,or does anything,
446
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:47,840
he will kill him.
447
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,800
Despite
being drunk, dazed,
448
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,560
and having been brutally raped,Joey somehow manages to escape.
449
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,680
He stumbles out of the house,and goes to the police.
450
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,920
In his panic to get
out, Joey leaves
451
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,560
his shoes in Kraft's apartment.
452
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,000
Fearing his mom's anger,
he asks the police to go
453
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:18,560
back with him to get his shoes.
454
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:24,720
But what Joey doesn't tellpolice proves critical.
455
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,680
So the police go in
and they find what's
456
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,000
clearly a slightly odd scene.
457
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:29,800
There are pornographic
pictures knocking about.
458
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,120
There's empty bottles
of drugs or whatever.
459
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,960
But Fancher never mentionsthat he's actually been raped.
460
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,040
He tells them it's all aboutgetting his shoes back.
461
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,800
And, as it turns
out, the police never
462
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,720
had a warrant to go in there.
463
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,800
So however odd they foundthe place, however much
464
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,320
evidence they would
have found, it
465
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,920
was actually inadmissibleanyway because they never
466
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,200
had a warrant.
467
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,160
And the rape never
came out until trial.
468
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,880
Vonda Pelto
was the counselor
469
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,120
in the LA County Men's
Jail, and an expert
470
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,760
on California's serial killers.
471
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,720
This is so typical
of young boys
472
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,520
in particular, when they'remade a punk or been raped.
473
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,640
They're very
embarrassed about this,
474
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,280
and they don't want
to tell anybody
475
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,120
because of the embarrassment.
476
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,200
But Joey does
point out his attacker
477
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,800
on a photo in the
apartment to the police,
478
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:25,720
and he knows his name.
479
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,880
The man that abducted
Joey is Randy Kraft.
480
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,880
With police unaware acrime has been committed,
481
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,440
they take no action.
482
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Kraft is free to
begin killing spree.
483
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,000
Five years later, Kraftis a fully-fledged killer.
484
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,080
After 14 entries have been
made on his scorecard,
485
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:05,880
he has another close shavewith the police in 1975.
486
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,080
After a night out at
the gay bar Ripples,
487
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,320
he comes across four teenageboys in the parking lot.
488
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,640
He gets talking to them.
489
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,880
And he says, hey, I'vegot some beer in the car,
490
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,320
you know, let's have a party.
491
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,480
Two of them-- Keith
Crotwell and Kent May--
492
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,520
get into the car with him-- get into his Mustang--
493
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,680
and off they go.
494
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,160
He immediately
breaks out the beer.
495
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,080
He immediately breaks
out the Valium.
496
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,440
And they're, you know,chucking these tablets down.
497
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,120
After he had given each ofthe boys diazepam and beer,
498
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:45,960
to get them semi-conscious, hedecided to go back to the bar
499
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,120
and drop one of the boys off.
500
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,480
Kent May is
bundled out of the car,
501
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,600
drugged and unconscious.
502
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,440
Keith Crotwell
remains in the car.
503
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,880
And the next thing
May remembers, is kind
504
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760
of waking up the next morning.
505
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,640
And it's only when his twofriends-- who were still
506
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,840
in the parking lot, who
saw him get dropped off,
507
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,160
they tell him what happened-- that he pieces it together.
508
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,760
Which is that Kraft has drivenback to the parking lot,
509
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,880
dropped him off-- kind ofejected him from the car--
510
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,000
driven away with Crotwell,who is never seen again.
511
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,560
But Crotwell
is seen again.
512
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,040
His severed head is
found a month later.
513
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,960
But the police get a lead.
514
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:37,640
The car Crotwell and May climbinto is a distinctive Mustang.
515
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,240
Police link it to Randy Kraft.
516
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,440
When questioned, Kraft
provides an alibi.
517
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,920
He was with his lover.
518
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,280
Police take no further action.
519
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,640
One of the entries
on the scorecard
520
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,440
just says "parking lot",
which, you know, it's
521
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,120
not a stretch of the
imagination to imagine
522
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,560
that that's the entry forthe murder of Keith Crotwell.
523
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,480
According
to Haney, Kraft seems
524
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,120
to be able to kill at will.
525
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,160
Police, were not
on to him at all.
526
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,240
They had no idea who
he was on that day.
527
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,600
He was not on any reports.
528
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,960
He was not a suspect.
529
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,520
He was out there killing
with reckless disregard.
530
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,040
They were not even
close to catching him.
531
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,200
To friends
of the family,
532
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,800
Kraft just seems
like a normal man.
533
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,720
That's a misnomer,
that are often
534
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:39,160
times people think that serialkillers are crazy or stupid.
535
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,120
That's the way the
public gets fooled.
536
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:48,400
And it's very common forneighbors to say, my God!
537
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,520
My neighbor did that?
538
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,960
And typically they have
a hard time believing it
539
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,120
because the person
is so friendly.
540
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,080
But behind thefacade Kraft is on a killing
541
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,840
spree completely unnoticed.
542
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,000
Mostly, serial killers donot have two heads or something
543
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,440
stamped across their forehead.
544
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,560
They don't look
like serial killers.
545
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,760
The brighter
individuals actually
546
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,760
don't stick their head abovethe parapet very much at all.
547
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:29,440
Kraft is leadinga deadly double life.
548
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,520
But it's about to
come to an end.
549
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,360
After his arrest, the policewere able to connect Kraft
550
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,400
to over 40 murders
through a scorecard
551
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,160
found in the trunk of his car.
552
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,720
But there's at least onevictim who's not on the list.
553
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,600
Terry Lee Gambrel ishitching his way to a party.
554
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,120
Unfortunately for
the young Marine,
555
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,600
Randy Kraft is on the prowl.
556
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,000
Marines were his kind ofideal of American manhood.
557
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,000
You know, they were kind
of what he wanted to be.
558
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,600
What he couldn't quite be.
559
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,160
I mean, he sort of triedto be that as a young man,
560
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,520
and then actually had toacknowledge his own sexuality.
561
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,360
There are these ideal American
men, with their muscles,
562
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,360
and their buzz cuts.And they're what turn him on.
563
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,440
They're what he wants to be.
564
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,520
And, ultimately, they're
what he wants to kill.
565
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,240
He can't be them,but with drugs and alcohol,
566
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,280
he can control them.
567
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,920
They two key words
that sum up Randy Kraft
568
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,320
for me are control and denial.
569
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,920
The killings were extremelycontrolled-- extremely brutal.
570
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,240
I mean, perhaps the mostbrutal series of killings
571
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,600
that there have ever been.
572
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,880
On this
particular night,
573
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,160
Randy Kraft makes
a fatal mistake.
574
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,880
He's pulled over by a trafficcop for driving erratically.
575
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,000
They find Gambrel's deadbody in the passenger seat.
576
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,520
And some of the detectivesthat were working the case,
577
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,400
said, one day he's
going to get pulled over
578
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,520
on a routine traffic
stop, and that's going
579
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,200
to break the case wide open.
580
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,640
And that's exactly
what happened.
581
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,080
Police believe Kraftcould have been attacking
582
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,480
Gambrel as he was driving.
583
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:34,840
It might explain why he wasswerving across the road.
584
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,720
I noticed on the driver'sseat there was a folding knife,
585
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,080
which would have been
basically under Randy
586
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,760
Kraft's right thigh.
587
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,160
He may have been doing somethingto the body at that time,
588
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,240
or preparing to do somethingto the body at that time.
589
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,800
But straightawayOfficer Howard realized
590
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,360
the importance of the arrest.
591
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,400
The ligature
marks made me think
592
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,560
that this might be that killer.
593
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,200
I did call back to
Officer Sterling.
594
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,840
Make sure he is buckled intightly with that seat belt,
595
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,640
because this may be
the person who has been
596
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,160
dumping bodies on the freeway.
597
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,640
If the
body wasn't enough,
598
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,960
the car was packed
with other evidence.
599
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,560
For somebody as intelligentas Kraft, and with as much kind
600
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,120
of animalistic
cunning as Kraft, it's
601
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:37,760
easy to come to the conclusionthat in keeping things
602
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,720
like photographs of his
victims hanging around,
603
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,920
he kind of made
a stupid mistake.
604
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,560
But actually-- although inretrospect, it was a mistake--
605
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,320
it's a way for somebody likeKraft to keep the buzz going.
606
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,400
To maintain the kind of erotic,sort of animalistic thrill.
607
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,000
In his case, the photos thathe was able to keep looking at,
608
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,560
keep on enjoying-- ultimatelythey were part of his undoing.
609
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,080
26th of
September, 1988.
610
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,760
In a courtroom in
Orange County, one
611
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,120
of the longest
and most expensive
612
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:13,840
cases in Californiahistory is about to begin.
613
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,800
The suspect, Randy Kraft,is thought to have killed
614
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,720
anything up to 100 people.
615
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,160
Police have good
reason to believe they
616
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,640
can tie him to over 40 murders.
617
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,680
But without enough
evidence to take him
618
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,280
to court for all of
them, he is tried
619
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,760
on just 16 counts ofmurder, one count of sodomy,
620
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,640
and one of emasculation.
621
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,080
He has a kind of narcissisticpsychopathic trait,
622
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,840
which says that he feels heis actually above the law.
623
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,560
Within the courtroom,
he actually
624
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,680
thought this was no more than aload of ants running round him,
625
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,080
ready to be trodden on.
626
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,400
But the case
against him is strong.
627
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,320
Forensics have
picked apart his car,
628
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,640
and alongside the scorecardand photos, have found yet
629
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:11,560
more evidence that ties
him to unsolved murders.
630
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:18,120
One such murder-- a body thatwas found in January 1983.
631
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,960
Jimmy White was the forensicsofficer at the time.
632
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,040
I had been called to lookat a body that had been found
633
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,200
off the freeway in Seal Beach.
634
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,520
The body turned out to bethe deceased by the name
635
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,360
Eric Church.
636
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,360
Eric
Church was discovered
637
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,080
wearing maroon socks.
638
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,040
I should be able to findfibers from those socks.
639
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,760
And I did.
640
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,200
In the right front
floorboards there
641
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,800
were little balls
of maroon fibers
642
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,040
that matched the socks
from Eric Church.
643
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,760
It's proof that EricChurch had been in Kraft's car.
644
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:04,080
Other fibers from victimswere found in Kraft's home.
645
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,080
And hairs similar to Kraft'swas found on the body
646
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,080
of at least one victim.
647
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,000
As details are read out of eachmurder, some in the courtroom
648
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:20,000
say Randy Kraft smiles,as if reliving each murder
649
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,160
is giving him pleasure
all over again.
650
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,120
Randy Kraft's indifferenceto the court procedure,
651
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:30,040
and his kind of-- reallyhe never looked really like
652
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,960
a guilty, furtive individual.
653
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,640
He looked quite
smiley, confident.
654
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,640
But he didn't seem
to realize the import
655
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:38,920
of what was happening.
656
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,640
In his own mind, it
was impossible for him
657
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,600
to be found guilty.
658
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:45,280
And then if found
guilty, it would
659
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:50,040
be impossible for him ever toactually suffer his sentence.
660
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,800
Afterdeliberating for 11 days,
661
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,040
on the 12th of
May 1989, the jury
662
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,840
find him guilty of 16 countsof murder in the first degree.
663
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:06,600
Briefly, I would like to sayI have not murdered anyone.
664
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:09,600
And I believe any reasonablereview of the record
665
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:11,280
will show that.
666
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,800
That's all I have to say.
667
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,880
Despite
the verdict, Kraft
668
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,760
gives nothing away,leaving California police
669
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,320
with a long list of cold cases.
670
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,840
In 2012, Special
Agent Julie Haney
671
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,880
was charged with
re-investigating
672
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,520
some cases involving Marines.
673
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,520
I was contacted by theLong Beach Police Department
674
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,800
in California.
675
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,720
They have a cold
case unit, and they
676
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,040
contacted me, and
asked me for my help
677
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,960
in identifying a John Doe.
678
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:56,680
The body was foundin 1974, near the I-605.
679
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,920
It had a distinctivemilitary haircut and a tattoo
680
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,840
associated with the Marines.
681
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,680
So Haney went through therecords of military personnel
682
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,760
who went missing
around the same time,
683
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,240
and came up with the
name of Oral Stuart.
684
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,240
And then we found the
parents of Oral Stuart,
685
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,240
and showed them
some photographs,
686
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,760
and they immediately identifiedOral Stuart as the John Doe.
687
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,200
With the
body identified,
688
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,600
Haney now wanted to find
out who killed Stuart.
689
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:38,680
She reviewed the Kraft killings,and found striking similarities
690
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,560
to Stuart's injuries.
691
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,840
I knew that Oral
Stuart was found naked,
692
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,840
was bludgeoned and
strangled to death,
693
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,200
that he had a bite
mark on his neck.
694
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,120
Those were all the thingsthat Randy Kraft had done
695
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:54,480
to a number of his victims.
696
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,280
In an attemptto find out more details,
697
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,960
she visited Kraft in prison.
698
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:12,760
We sat two feet from eachother at the table there.
699
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,480
He's a very evil little man.
700
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,760
He's about five feet eight,
really short gray hair,
701
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,840
black eyes, and just
a really, really
702
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,560
cold, evil little person.
703
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,520
Kraft
refuses to cooperate.
704
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,880
There were still at least22 unidentified entries
705
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,280
on the scorecard.
706
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,960
Haney picked through thewords to see if she could
707
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,280
make a link to Oral Stuart.
708
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,640
I knew there were 67
names on that scorecard.
709
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:50,880
And I knew that one of thenames on there was Iowa.
710
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,520
And I knew that Oral
Stuart was from Iowa.
711
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,160
So those are the factors thatled me to believe that Randy
712
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,800
Kraft had killed Oral Stuart.
713
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:03,720
Miraculously, nearly40 years after the murder,
714
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,160
another link is made
to the scorecard.
715
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:11,160
He had no empathy for
Oral Stuart whatsoever.
716
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,840
He was angry that I was
even trying to get him
717
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,960
to show some kind of humanity.
718
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,320
I have never met somebody,prior to Randy Kraft,
719
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:21,520
that literally has no soul.
720
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,720
He is still
denying what he did.
721
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,640
He cannot relinquish
that control.
722
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,600
You know, the moment he saysit to anybody-- the moment he
723
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,960
mentions it to a cellmate,the moment he says it
724
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,880
in open court, the momenthe says it to a journalist,
725
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,600
or whatever-- that controlhas been relinquished,
726
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:40,400
and he can never ever do that.
727
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,080
You know, it's the way
he gets through life,
728
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,560
is to deny what he
has done, and to try
729
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,120
and control his environment.
730
00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:48,720
All the families
that are out there,
731
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,360
of all the unsolved cases thatare linked to Randy Kraft,
732
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,960
he has done nothing to tryto help to clear those up.
733
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,880
When the case is unsolved,and someone's been murdered,
734
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,320
the pain never goes away.
735
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,920
Especially for the parents.
736
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,360
So the families, to this day,of Randy Kraft's victims,
737
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,680
are suffering.
738
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,840
After all these years,
they're still suffering.
739
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,440
Today, Randy
Kraft sits on Death Row.
740
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,320
He continues to
profess his innocence,
741
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:24,000
and still refuses to giveany details to family members
742
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,280
looking for answers
on their missing sons.
743
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,440
He killed because he liked it.
744
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,520
He killed because enjoyed it.
745
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,720
Because if he didn't enjoyit, if had any kind of a soul,
746
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,880
any kind of compassion,
he would have said,
747
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,200
look, fellas, you got me.
748
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:38,720
I'm going to be convicted.
749
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,240
I'm going to tell
you what I did,
750
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,400
and I'm going to try to dosomething right for once.
751
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,080
His trial, conviction,and imprisonment has so far
752
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,720
cost over 10 million dollars.
753
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,480
Having exhausted
his state appeals,
754
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,840
he now plans to appeal
at the federal level.
755
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,320
He would have kept killing.
756
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:04,080
If he were not caught in1983, he'd be killing today.
757
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,360
That's how much he enjoyed it.
