CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Joe: WE'RE IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA,
AND A MIDDLE-CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON,

NOT EXACTLY AN HOUR OF THE DAY,

YOU'D EXPECT THERE TO BE
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

[ TELEPHONE DIALING ]

Chambers: IT WAS JUST
A ROUTINE DAY ON PATROL.

WE GOT THE CALL, "SUBJECT
MOANING IN THE BACKYARD."

WHEN I WAS A KID,

I LIVED THREE BLOCKS
FROM WHERE THIS OCCURRED.

IT WAS A NICE,
QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU HAVE AN IDEA
OF WHAT'S REPORTED,

BUT A LOT OF TIMES, YOU FIND OUT
THAT IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

Joe:
THE PHOENIX POLICE DEPARTMENT
ARRIVES IN THIS BACKYARD.

AN ELDERLY MAN IS BLEEDING
PROFUSELY FROM HIS HEAD,

AND HIS HANDS
ARE TIED WITH DUCT TAPE.

[ MOANING ]

Chambers:
HE WASN'T ASKING FOR HELP.
HE WAS ASKING FOR HIS WIFE.

"WHERE'S MY WIFE?"

Joe: THEY TURN
AND LOOK AT THE HOUSE.

YOUR WIFE'S INSIDE.

AND THE INTERIOR DOOR
TO THE HOME IS STANDING OPEN,

IS THE SUSPECT STILL HERE?

CALLING FOR BACKUP.

[ MOANS ]

SIR, STAY STILL. HOLD ON.

DISPATCH.

OH, MY GOD.
BODY IN HERE!

THIS WAS A HORRIBLE CRIME
THAT WE'D STUMBLED UPON.

Joe: I SPENT MY CAREER
CLOSING MURDER CASES.

BUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO ANSWERED THE CALL.

IT TAKES A RARE BREED
TO SOLVE THE INSOLVABLE...

TO CATCH A RUTHLESS KILLER...

TO FIND JUSTICE FOR THE DEAD.

THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
TO BE AN AMERICAN DETECTIVE.

Burch: I AM RETIRED
SERGEANT DARREN BURCH.

IN 1998, I WAS A DETECTIVE

IN THE ADULT SEX CRIMES DETAIL

WITH THE PHOENIX
POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG KID,
I LEARNED THAT MY GRANDMOTHER

HAD BEEN BRUTALLY RAPED
WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD.

I REALIZED VERY QUICKLY,
I HATE CRIMINALS.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

IT WAS A MONDAY.
I REMEMBER IT VIVIDLY.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

I GET A CALL FROM MY BOSS,
WHICH WAS UNUSUAL.

I CAN STILL HEAR HIM
SAYING THE WORDS.

"WE HAVE A HOME INVASION
OF AN ELDERLY COUPLE,

AND THE WOMAN
WAS BRUTALLY RAPED."

EVERY DETECTIVE HAS THAT
ONE CASE, FOR WHATEVER REASON,

THIS PARTICULAR CASE
IS THAT ONE CASE FOR ME.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

WHAT DO WE GOT?

WE HAVE TWO ELDERLY VICTIMS
IN THEIR 80s,

BURCH IS BRIEFED
BY THE OFFICERS ON THE SCENE

THAT JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH
LIVE IN THIS HOUSE.

THEY'VE LIVED THERE
FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

THEY WERE CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS
WHO'D GROWN OLD TOGETHER.

JOHN WAS A BIG, SPRY MAN.

WORKED IN
THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY,

SO HE COULD FIX ANYTHING.

HAZEL WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

SHE WAS STILL RUNNING THE SHOW
IN THE HOUSE,

EVEN AT 81 -- YOU KNOW,
IN GREAT SHAPE.

Joe:
BURCH LEARNS THEY'VE BOTH BEEN
REMOVED BY AMBULANCE

TO A HOSPITAL,
BOTH IN VERY CRITICAL CONDITION.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

BURCH LOOKS AT THIS CRIME SCENE
AND FINDS SOME THINGS

THAT ARE VERY DISTURBING TO HIM.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

BURCH IS WELL EXPERIENCED.
HE'S SEEN ABOUT EVERYTHING.

THIS, HE'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

Burch: THE SCENE
WAS VERY VIOLENT.

WE HAD A LOT OF BLOOD,
A LOT OF WEIRD ITEMS.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

Joe: HE SEES AN INSTRUMENT
LAYING ON THE FLOOR

THAT IS COVERED IN BLOOD

AND HAS GRAY HAIR
ATTACHED TO THE BLOOD.

THIS IS A SOLID STEEL BAR.

THIS IS THE INSTRUMENT
USED TO BLUDGEON THIS VICTIM.

HE SEES A BLOODY FLASHLIGHT.

THERE IS A CAN OF CRISCO
VEGETABLE PASTE OPEN

ON THE FLOOR,
WITH A BLOODY IMPRINT

OF THE FLASHLIGHT
IN THE CRISCO.

Burch:
IT WAS A HORRIBLE SCENE.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

THIS WAS ABOUT AS GRISLY
AS IT GETS.

THE REST OF THE HOUSE
HAD THAT TYPICAL

BURGLARY RANSACKING LOOK,
WHERE DRAWERS WERE OPEN,

THINGS WERE STREWN ABOUT.

IT WAS HARD TO TELL
IF ANYTHING WAS REALLY MISSING.

Joe" ARE THEY LOOKING FOR MONEY,
WEAPONS, JEWELRY,

THINGS THAT COMMONLY
CAN BE TURNED INTO CASH?

BURCH IS STILL TRYING TO
DETERMINE WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE.

BURCH ALSO WONDERS WHY
ONE VICTIM IS INSIDE THIS HOME,

BUT HER HUSBAND, JOHN DURNAVICH,
IS IN THE BACKYARD.

WHY WOULD HE GO OUTSIDE?

OVER HERE, HE FOUND HIM
ON THE GROUND.

Burch: IN THE BACKYARD,

THERE WAS THIS DRAG MARK
WHERE WE FOUND JOHN.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS IN
THE AREA OF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER

AND HAD BEEN DRAGGED
FROM THAT LOCATION

ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

WE COULD SEE
THE POWER BOX DOOR WAS OPEN.

Joe:
AND HE LOOKS AT THAT BOX

AND HE NOTICES THAT
THE MASTER SWITCH IS OFF,

SO SOMEBODY TURNED OFF
THE POWER TO THIS HOME.

WHY WOULD THAT HAPPEN?

Burch:
LOOKING AT THE YARD,

WE FOUND THIS BEAUTIFUL,
PRISTINE SHOEPRINT.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

IT WAS THE ONLY THING WE HAD,
BUT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

Joe: THAT'S AS USEFUL
AS A FINGERPRINT.

IT CAN BE EXTREMELY UNIQUE.

AND IF WE FIND OUR MAN
WEARING A PAIR OF REEBOKS,

WE CAN MATCH THE SHOE
ON HIS FOOT

TO THE IMPRESSION IN THAT MUD,

WHICH PUTS HIM
AT THIS CRIME SCENE.

ALRIGHT, DON,
YOU GOT IT FROM HERE?

YEP.
ALRIGHT.

♪♪

FIRST THING I DID
WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE HOSPITAL

WAS TALK TO THE DOCTORS.

Joe: THE DOCTOR EXPLAINS
THAT MR. DURNAVICH

HAS SUFFERED A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA

AS A RESULT
OF BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA.

A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA IS
A BRUISING OF THE BRAIN.

Burch: BASICALLY,
THE BRAIN IS SWELLING.

HE WAS HIT ABOUT FIVE TIMES
WITH A METAL BAR.

JOHN DURNAVICH EXPLAINS
THAT HE AND HIS WIFE

HAD BEEN WATCHING TELEVISION

WHEN THE POWER WENT OFF
IN THE HOUSE.

HE TOLD HIS WIFE
HE WOULD GO OUTSIDE

AND CHECK THE CIRCUIT BOX.

HE SAW THE BOX WAS OPEN
AND THE MASTER SWITCH WAS OFF.

AND THEN, NEXT THING HE KNOWS,
HE'S ON THE GROUND.

AND HE THEN WENT UNCONSCIOUS

AND DOESN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING
AFTER THAT,

UNTIL HE WAS AWAKENED
IN A HOSPITAL BY A DOCTOR.

BURCH HAS LEARNED SOMETHING.

THE POWER BOX WAS THE LURE.

YOU HAVE A PERPETRATOR
WHO HAS A PLAN.

HE NEEDS TO DRAW SOMEBODY
OUT OF THAT HOUSE.

AND THE WAY TO DO IT
IS TO TURN OFF THE POWER.

I KIND OF LOOKED AT THIS
AS A HOMICIDE, IN THE SENSE

THAT HE INTENDED
TO KILL THESE PEOPLE,

ESPECIALLY THE WAY
HE BRUTALLY ATTACKED JOHN

AND, IN MY ESTIMATION,
LEFT HIM FOR DEAD.

Joe:
WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE

HAD CONDUCTED SURVEILLANCE
ON THIS HOUSE.

HE KNEW A LOT,
AND HE TOOK ADVANTAGE

OF CARRYING OUT A PLAN
THAT WORKED QUITE WELL.

[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]

DOC, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME
ABOUT HAZEL?

THE DOCTOR TREATING
HAZEL DURNAVICH

SAYS THAT SHE HAS
A NUMBER OF CONTUSIONS

AND ABRASIONS,
IN EXCESS OF 100,

AND SHE HAD BEEN
EXTENSIVELY TORTURED BY ASSAULT

MUCH LONGER
THAN HER HUSBAND.

AND IN THE DOCTOR'S OPINION,
SHE WAS RAPED WITH AN OBJECT.

THIS DRAWS BURCH'S MEMORY
BACK TO THAT CRIME SCENE

AND EXPLAINS WHY THAT BLOODY
FLASHLIGHT WAS BLOODY.

Watkiss: PEOPLE LOOK
AT A CRIME LIKE THIS

AND THEY WONDER, "HOW COULD YOU
ATTACK AN 81-YEAR-OLD WOMAN?"

IT IS THE EPITOME OF THE COWARD.

GUYS LIKE THIS ALWAYS GO
FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE TARGETS.

THIS WAS A NICE LADY

WHO HAD BEEN BRUTALIZED
BEYOND IMAGINATION.

I WAS EAGER TO TALK TO HAZEL,
SEE HOW SHE WAS DOING,

SEE IF I COULD GET SOME TYPE
OF SUSPECT INFORMATION.

IT WAS DIFFICULT, AT FIRST,
TALKING TO HER,

BECAUSE IT REMIND ME
OF MY GRANDMOTHER.

THIS WAS A VERY PETITE,
INTELLIGENT, FEISTY WOMAN.

I HAD TO REALLY WORK
THROUGH THAT,

IN TERMS OF NOT CRYING
OR BEING UPSET,

SEEING THIS WOMAN,
BECAUSE SHE LOOKED LIKE

SHE HAD BEEN BEATEN
HALF TO DEATH.

WHILE BURCH IS SPEAKING TO HER,
HE LOOKS AT HER LEFT HAND.

AND THEN I MENTIONED
HER WEDDING RING.

I SAID,
"WHERE'S YOUR WEDDING RING?"

"DID THIS MAN
TAKE YOUR WEDDING RING?"

AND SHE SAID
SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER,

WHICH IS NORMAL
IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT.

IT'S A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE.

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

Burch: THEN, WE TALKED ABOUT
WHAT SHE SAW,

IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS GUY DID.

HAZEL IS WONDERING
WHAT'S TAKING JOHN SO LONG.

AND SHE SAID SHE LOOKED
AT THIS MAN

AND SAID,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

AND HE DROPPED HER HUSBAND
TO THE GROUND

AND SAID, "I'LL SHOW YOU
WHAT I'M DOING."

Burch: AND THEN HE GOES
AND STARTS RANSACKING.

AND THEN SHE REMEMBERS
HIM COMING BACK,

AND THEN
HE SEXUALLY ASSAULTS HER.

Joe: IN MY OWN CAREER,
I HAVE HAD ELDERLY VICTIMS,

AND YOUR HEART
JUST BLEEDS FOR THEM.

WHAT ANIMAL DID THIS?

YOU FEEL A NEED
TO FIND THIS PERSON RIGHT NOW.

Burch: IT WAS VERY, VERY PAINFUL
FOR HER IN SO MANY WAYS,

SO I FOCUSED ON THE SUSPECT.

Joe: YEAH, THAT'S A START.

IT'S PRETTY VAGUE,
BUT IT'S BETTER THAN MR. X.

Burch:
SO I VERY QUICKLY REALIZED
WHAT I NEED TO DO IS

SEE IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE
THAT KNOWS ABOUT THAT HOUSE.

AND THANKFULLY,
THERE WAS A HOUSEKEEPER.

ONCE A WEEK,
SOMEBODY WOULD COME IN

AND JUST CLEAN THE MAIN AREAS.

AND SHE SAID HER NAME
WAS KATIE POWELL,

AND SHE HAD
A KEY TO THE HOUSE,

"BUT SHE DOESN'T WORK
FOR US ANYMORE."

THAT DRAWS BURCH'S ATTENTION.

NOW WE'VE DEVELOPED A NAME
OF SOMEBODY

WHO HAS THE ABILITY
TO COME AND GO FROM THIS HOME,

WHO WAS TERMINATED OF THEIR
EMPLOYMENT BY THE DURNAVICHES.

MAYBE IT'S NOTHING.
MAYBE IT MEANS EVERYTHING.

Joe: DETECTIVE DARREN BURCH
OF PHOENIX P.D.

IS INVESTIGATING THE BRUTAL
ATTACK OF AN ELDERLY COUPLE,

JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH.

Chambers: THIS WAS A VIOLENT
ATTACK IN THEIR HOME.

YOU'RE NOT HUMAN IF IT DOESN'T
AFFECT YOU IN SOME WAY.

Joe:
DETECTIVE BURCH HAS INTERVIEWED
THE VICTIMS IN THIS CASE

AND HAS LEARNED THAT
THEY TERMINATED A HOUSEKEEPER

IN THE RECENT PAST.

HER NAME IS KATIE POWELL.

Burch: I SCHEDULED A SITDOWN
VIDEOTAPE INTERVIEW,

KNOWING THAT
IF SOMETHING GOES SOUTH,

SHE LAWYERS UP,
I'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.

I HAD TO ELIMINATE HER
AS A SUSPECT.

HOW'S HE FEELING?
BETTER.

I STARTED OFF VERY CASUAL,

NOT KNOWING
WHERE IT WAS GOING TO GO.

SHE SEEMED VERY NICE.

SHE SEEMED GENUINELY CONCERNED
ABOUT JOHN AND HAZEL.

SHE DIDN'T APPEAR DECEPTIVE.

HE SAID TO HER, "WE UNDERSTAND

YOU WERE FIRED
BY THE DURNAVICHES.

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT?"

Burch:
THERE WASN'T REALLY AN ISSUE
WITH IT, IN TERMS OF BAD BLOOD.

I DIDN'T GET
THAT FEELING AT ALL.

WHEN I LEARNED
THAT SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND

AND HE HAD BEEN THERE,
I HAD TO REALLY KIND OF LOOK

AND DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
THERE WAS A CONNECTION.

BURCH IS THINKING LIKE A COP.

EVERYTHING ABOUT HER SAYS
SHE'S NOT A PARTICIPANT,

HAS NO KNOWLEDGE
OF THIS OFFENSE.

BUT HER BOYFRIEND, TERRY FINLEY,
IS AN "X" FACTOR.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

Burch:
HE KNEW ABOUT THE HOUSE.
HE KNEW ABOUT THE LAYOUT.

ALL THOSE THINGS
THAT THE SUSPECT MIGHT KNOW,

HE WOULD KNOW,
SO I HAD TO ELIMINATE HIM.

MR. FINLEY?

DETECTIVE BURCH,
PHOENIX P.D.

MIND IF I ASKED YOU
A COUPLE QUESTIONS?

SURE.

Joe: BURCH THEN EXPLAINS

THAT HE'S IN POSSESSION
OF INFORMATION

THAT FINLEY HAD RECENT CONTACT
WITH THE DURNAVICH FAMILY,

AND THEY'VE BEEN ATTACKED
IN THEIR HOME.

NO.FINLEY IS SHOCKED.

I WAS LOOKING
FOR A VERY ANGRY CRIMINAL

WHO HAD A CRIMINAL
HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.

HE DIDN'T FIT THAT BILL.
HE REALLY DIDN'T.

I HAD A TIGHT WINDOW.

WE KNEW WHEN
THIS CRIME OCCURRED.

HE OWNED A BUSINESS,

AND HE ALSO WORKED
FOR SOMEONE AT THE SAME TIME.

AND SO I WAS ABLE TO GO
AND CHECK ON HIS WORK.

Joe:
MR. FINLEY WAS AT WORK

DURING THE TIMEFRAME
OF THE CRIME,

SO HE HAD NO OPPORTUNITY
TO BE A PARTICIPANT IN IT.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM.

SO WHAT COULD BE A LEAD
IS GONE.

MR. FINLEY COULD
NOT HAVE DONE THIS.

BURCH IS NOW
IN AN UNENVIABLE POSITION

OF HAVING THE BEST RELIANCE
ON EVIDENCE

FOUND AT THE SCENE.

WITH SUCH A VIOLENT SCENE,

GENERALLY, YOU GET SOME TYPE
OF EVIDENCE,

LIKE SWEAT,
DNA FROM THE SKIN

WHERE SOMEONE'S GRABBING
SOMEONE.

RAPE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME
TYPE OF DNA, GENERALLY.

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE TOLD ME,
"WE HAVE NOTHING."

NOTHING BUT THE SHOEPRINT.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY DNA.
WE HAVE NO FINGERPRINTS.

WE HAD NOTHING,

OTHER THAN A SHOEPRINT
IN THE BACK ALLEY.

Joe:
POLICE HAVE DETERMINED

THAT THE PERPETRATOR
SELECTS HIS WEAPONS

FROM WHAT HE DISCOVERS
IN THE PREMISES

IN THIS PARTICULAR M.O.,

THE SUSPECT CAME WITH NOTHING
OTHER THAN GLOVES.

HE REALLY GOT THE DUCT TAPE,

THE METAL BAR USED TO ATTACK
BOTH JOHN AND HAZEL,

THE FLASHLIGHT --

ALL THESE ITEMS
WERE ALREADY AT THE SCENE.

AND THAT'S ACTUALLY SHOWS A SIGN
OF AN ORGANIZED ABILITY

TO ADAPT TO WHAT'S THERE.

SO HE WILL HAVE
A CRIMINAL HISTORY.

AND SADLY,
HE'S GOING TO HAVE A FUTURE

UNTIL WE CATCH HIM.

THE CRIME SCENE
DIDN'T GIVE US ANY LEADS.

SO WE HAVE TO
RE-CANVASS THE AREA.

WE TALK WITH NEIGHBORS.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

Joe: YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT PEOPLE SEE.

I'M WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SORRY TO WAKE YOU UP.

BUT THE ONLY THING
THAT BURCH LEARNS

IS THAT EVERYONE THINKS

THAT HAZEL AND JOHN
DURNAVICH ARE WONDERFUL.

WHY WOULD ANYONE
WANT TO HURT THEM?

THEY'RE THE NICEST PEOPLE
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

Burch: I GOT TO ALMOST
KNOW THE COUPLE

THROUGH THE FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBORS.

IT WAS A LOVE STORY.

JOHN AND HAZEL WERE
GRADE SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS,

AND THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER
AND THEY GREW TOGETHER.

Watkiss:
THEY'D BEEN TOGETHER
FOR 60-PLUS YEARS.

YOU KNOW,
THEY HAD A LIFE TOGETHER

AND WE'RE ENJOYING PERHAPS
THE LAST ACT

WHEN THIS TERRIBLE TURN
OF EVENTS TOOK PLACE.

Joe: SO, MORE POSITIVE NEWS
ABOUT THE FAMILY,

BUT NO NEWS ABOUT
WHO MR. "X" MIGHT BE.

Burch:
HAZEL CALLED ME EVERY DAY.

AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP

BECAUSE I GOT A VOICE MESSAGE
FROM HER.

[ BEEP ]

FIRST MESSAGE.

I WAS SO FOCUSED
ON THE INVESTIGATION,

I DIDN'T REALIZE
HE WAS IN HARM'S WAY

AND HE WAS GOING TO DIE.

FOR THEM TO,
IN THE GOLDEN YEARS,

BE BRUTALIZED LIKE THIS

AND HAVE THAT BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE
END WITH SUCH HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

NOT THAT I NEEDED SOMETHING
TO KEEP MY FOCUS ON THIS CASE,

BUT I JUST COULD NOT ERASE IT.

I COULD NOT REACH THAT MESSAGE.

Joe: BURCH WAS OVERCOME BY
ANGER, BY RAGE,

BY GUILT THAT HE HADN'T FOUND
WHO DID THIS YET.

I'VE HAD CASES LIKE THAT.

I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE,
AND IT IS AWFUL.

IT IS BEYOND AWFUL.

FAILURE WASN'T AN OPTION.

AND THAT REALLY SOUNDS
LIKE CLICHé.

I KNOW IT.
BUT IT REALLY IS SO TRUE.

WE COULD NOT FAIL HAZEL AND JOHN
WITH THIS CASE.

WE HAD TO SOLVE IT.
WE HAD TO GIVE THEM JUSTICE.

♪♪

AFTER JOHN DIED, EVERYTHING
SEEMED TO KIND OF WASH AWAY.

I HAD NOTHING LEFT.

SO NOW IT'S TIME

TO LOOK AT CRIME ANALYSIS AGAIN
IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

AND THAT'S WHEN I REALLY LOOKED
AT THE CRIME SCENE PHOTOS

AND I NOTICED HER HAND.

AND THERE WAS NO WEDDING RING.

AND IT REMINDED ME

ABOUT SOMETHING THAT I COULDN'T
DEAL WITH AT THE TIME,

BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT IT MEANT.

I LOOKED AT THAT PHOTO
AND THOUGHT, "I WONDER

IF HE REMOVED IT FROM HER."
SHE JUST DIDN'T REMEMBER THAT.

THIS GIVES HIM
SOMETHING ELSE TO USE

IN SEARCHING FOR SIMILAR CASES.

SO HE BEGINS BY LOOKING AT CASES
WHERE WEDDING RINGS OR JEWELRY

HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE VICTIM
DURING A VIOLENT SEXUAL ASSAULT.

AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND
THREE ROBBERIES AND A RAPE

WHERE THE SUSPECT
PHYSICALLY PULLED THE RING OFF.

THAT WAS HUGE,
THAT WAS MY GUIDE,

BECAUSE NOW I HAD NOT
JUST THE DURNAVICH CRIME SCENE,

I HAD FOUR OTHER CRIME SCENES
I COULD LOOK AT

TO TRY TO FIND THIS MONSTER.

THIS IS THE SAME GUY
DOING PRECISELY THE SAME CRIME

BECAUSE HE IS A SERIAL RAPIST.

Joe: DETECTIVE DARREN BURCH

IS INVESTIGATING THE ATTACK
ON JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH.

IT'S ALREADY CAUSED
JOHN DURNAVICH HIS LIFE.

HE HAS DISCOVERED OTHER CASES

INVOLVING
PRECISELY THE SAME M.O.

Burch: THIS IS A SERIAL RAPIST.

BY THEIR VERY NATURE,
IT'S WHAT THEY DO,

WHAT THEY WANT,
WHAT THEY LIVE FOR.

THEY SNEAK UP BEHIND PEOPLE
IN THE DARK OF NIGHT,

OR ATTACK THEM WHILE
THEY'RE LAYING IN THEIR BEDS.

HE WAS BRUTALIZING,
TORMENTING THESE PEOPLE

WHO REALLY ARE
THE MOST VULNERABLE VICTIMS.

Joe: WHEN BURCH IS REVIEWING
THESE FOUR CASES

HE FINDS IN PHOENIX,

HE NOTICES THAT ONE
PARTICULAR VICTIM

SEEMS TO HAVE MORE DETAILS
THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.

Burch: THE ONE VICTIM
THAT REALLY WAS WONDERFUL,

IN TERMS OF HELPING POLICE
WAS SOPHIA ROSENTHAL.

THANKS FOR COMING DOWN.
WE APPRECIATE IT.

WHATEVER IT TAKES
TO FIND HIM.

SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST WITNESSES
BURCH HAS EVER ENCOUNTERED.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY
I CAN DESCRIBE.

SHE SAYS THIS MAN RECENTLY BROKE
INTO HER HOME, ATTACKED HER,

STOLE HER WEDDING RING
OFF HER FINGER

WITH SUCH FORCE
THAT HE BROKE HER FINGER.

Burch: DURING
MY INTERVIEW WITH HER,

I KEPT REFERRING TO THE SUSPECT
AS A WHITE MALE,

AND ALL THE OTHER REPORTS
SAID "WHITE MALE."

A MEDITERRANEAN LOOK.

Joe: SHE DISTINCTLY REMEMBERS
HIS APPEARANCE.

SHE LITERALLY SAID
HE WAS MEDITERRANEAN,

AND THAT WAS HUGE BECAUSE
THAT GAVE ME ANOTHER DIRECTION

TO TAKE THIS.

BURCH DECIDES
TO PUT HER WITH A POLICE ARTIST

SO THEY CAN DRAW
THIS INDIVIDUAL.

BUT SHE'S ALSO AN ARTIST

AND ASKS
IF SHE CAN DRAW THE PICTURE.

NOW, THAT'S EXTREMELY UNUSUAL,

BUT ROSENTHAL HAS
THE SKILLS NECESSARY.

♪♪

AND SHE DRAWS A VERY GOOD
DRAWING OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

BURCH IS ELATED THAT HE HAS
THIS DRAWING OF THIS GUY

TO SHOW TO HAZEL DURNAVICH.

♪♪

Burch: UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEXT
TIME I INTERVIEW HER,

SHE HAD A HARD TIME
TALKING ABOUT THE RAPE.

SHE COULD NOT IDENTIFY HIM
FROM A COMPOSITE

THAT SOPHIA GAVE ME.

SHE COULDN'T GIVE ME
ANY KIND OF DESCRIPTION

OF THE FACE ITSELF,

AS IF WHAT SHE SAW
WAS A BLANK FACE.

I THINK HER MEMORY
OF THAT EVENT WAS SO SKEWED

BY THE HORRIFIC NATURE
OF THAT CRIME.

IT'S JUST SO REALLY SAD.

I WANT TO GIVE HER JUSTICE.

AND AT LEAST NOW,
WE HAD A DESCRIPTION.

WE HAD A COMPOSITE.

WE HAD ENOUGH
WHERE, WE COULD FIND HIM,

WE COULD THEN BUILD
A CASE AROUND IT.

Joe: BURCH HAS NO IDEA
WHERE THIS GUY IS.

HE COULD BE ANYWHERE
AND COULD HAVE BEEN OTHER PLACES

DOING PRECISELY THE SAME THING.

THIS IS WHAT MOTIVATES HIM
TO MAKE A NATIONAL BROADCAST.

HE PUTS TOGETHER A BULLETIN
WHICH HE SENDS

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,
THROUGH THE SYSTEM

CALLED THE VIOLENT CRIMINAL
APPREHENSION PROGRAM,

ASKING FOR DETECTIVES WHO
CAN RESPOND WITH A SIMILAR CASE.

Burch: I HAD TO CATCH HIM.
WE HAD TO.

HE'S GOING TO KILL SOMEONE

IF HE HASN'T ALREADY KILLED
SOMEONE.

Joe: WHEN YOU
PUT OUT THESE BULLETS,

YOU WAIT FOR IT
TO SIMMER ON THE STOVE

TO SEE IF IT MAKES SOUP.

YOU'RE HOPEFUL
YOU'RE GOING TO GET REPLIES,

BUT YOU HAVE NO WAY
OF KNOWING IF YOU WILL.

Burch:
AT THIS POINT, OH, MY GOSH,
NINE MONTHS IS GOING BY.

THE FRUSTRATIONS WERE HORRIBLE,
HEART-WRENCHING.

EVERY WEEK,
I PUT THAT BULLETIN OUT.

WEEK AFTER WEEK
AFTER MONTH AFTER MONTH.

Pollaccia:
IN 1998, I WAS A DETECTIVE

WITH THE OAKLAND PARK POLICE
DEPARTMENT IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

TELETYPES WOULD COME THROUGH
24 HOURS A DAY

FROM ALL AGENCIES.

EACH DAY, WHEN I CAME TO WORK,
I WOULD KIND OF

SKIM THROUGH THEM TO SEE
IF ANYTHING PERTAINED

TO WHAT I WAS DOING.

AND THERE WAS A TELETYPE FROM
DETECTIVE BURCH, FROM PHOENIX.

AND I'M READING THE TELETYPE,

AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN READING
MY OWN POLICE REPORT.

IT WAS THE SAME EXACT STORY.

♪♪

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]Burch: I STILL GET CHILLS

THINKING ABOUT THAT PHONE CALL.

KAREN TOLD ME,
"I HAVE A CASE JUST LIKE YOURS.

IT HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 20th."

OCTOBER 20TH
IS LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY

AFTER THE DURNAVICH CRIME.

THAT SHOCKED ME,
TO BE THAT BRAZEN,

SUCH A SEXUAL PREDATOR,
THAT 24 HOURS LATER,

HE DOES A CRIME,
OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY.

Joe: THIS CERTAINLY INDICATES
WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE

WHO IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.

Joe:
DETECTIVE BURCH, PHOENIX P.D.

HAS PUT OUT
A NATIONWIDE BULLETIN

DESCRIBING THE M.O.
IN THE ATTACK

ON JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH
AND HAS RECEIVED THE MAGIC REPLY

FROM A DETECTIVE
IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA

WHO HAS A SIMILAR CASE.

I WAS ASSIGNED
A HOME-INVASION CASE

THAT RESULTED
IN A SEXUAL BATTERY.

IT WAS AN ELDERLY COUPLE.

THE HUSBAND WAS DISABLED.

THE SUSPECT HAD FORCED HIS WAY
INTO THE HOME

WHEN SHE ANSWERED THE DOOR.

HE CAME WITH NO SUPPLIES.

HE USED HER PLASTIC GLOVES.

NO!

HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK
HER WEDDING RING.

AFTER HE FINISHED
RANSACKING THE HOUSE,

A SEXUAL BATTERY TOOK PLACE.

Joe: SHE THEN TELLS BURCH

THE CRITICAL PIECE
OF INFORMATION

HE WAS SO HOPEFUL TO RECEIVE.

WE DID LIFT ONE FINGERPRINT
OFF THE DRESSER

THAT HE HAD LEFT THERE
PRIOR TO PUTTING THE GLOVES ON.

AND WE HAD A HIT ON THE PRINT.

IT MATCHED TO MIKE MATLOW,

WHO ALSO WENT
BY THE NAME OF MIKE URICH.

Burch: I LITERALLY
DID A HAPPY DANCE

AND YELLED TO MY BOSS,
"WE GOT HIM. WE GOT A NAME."

AND THAT'S EVERYTHING, BECAUSE

NOW YOU CAN COMPARE PRINTS
AND DNA.

YOU CAN DO ALL THOSE THINGS.
YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A NAME.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT BEFORE.
IT WAS SO EXCITING.

Pollaccia:
IMMEDIATELY, I TRIED TO DO
A CRIMINAL HISTORY ON HIM,

AND I CAME UP
WITH NUMEROUS NAMES,

NUMEROUS DATES OF BIRTH,
DRIVER'S LICENSES.

Joe: SHE REALIZES
THAT HE IS A MEMBER

OR A FORMER MEMBER
OF A ROMANI CLAN.

Reporter: ROMANI IMMIGRANTS
FROM EASTERN EUROPE

CELEBRATING THE BIRTHDAY
OF A CHICAGO ROMA KING,

WITH MUSIC, DANCING,
AND A TRADITIONAL FEAST.

BUT LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS
SAY THERE ARE OTHER FAMILIES,

WHO HAVE NO CONNECTION
TO THIS ONE,

THAT ARE INVOLVED
IN ORGANIZED CRIME RINGS.

FOR DECADES, THEY ROAMED AMERICA
IN CARAVANS

OF TRAVEL TRAILERS
AND PICKUP TRUCKS.

BUT POLICE SAY THESE CRIMINALS
HAVE CHANGED WITH THE TIMES.

BECOME SO BOLD NOW

THAT THEY FLY TO VARIOUS PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY

AND RENT VEHICLES OUT THERE.

Chambers:
MOST OF THE CASES I DEALT WITH

WERE OVER MONETARY
CONTRACTUAL DEALS.

IT WAS ALWAYS ROOF REPAIRS,
DRIVEWAY REPAIRS,

THINGS THAT WEREN'T DONE
OR ACCOMPLISHED.

SOMEBODY COMES OUT
AND SAYS THEY CAN DO IT

FOR $800 CASH TODAY,

AND YOU DON'T SEE THEM
THE NEXT DAY,

AND YOUR ROOF IS
STILL IN DISREPAIR.

THAT'S CALLED A LEARNING LESSON.

Burch: IT WAS
AN INCREDIBLE EDUCATION,

LEARNING ABOUT
THE CRIME SYNDICATES,

THESE ORGANIZED FAMILIES.

I KNEW NOTHING, OTHER
THAN WHAT I SAW IN MOVIES.

Joe: MR. URICH IS A MEMBER
OF ONE OF THESE GROUPS,

WHICH VERY CONVENIENTLY EXPLAINS
HIS TOURING AROUND THE COUNTRY.

THEY MOVE TO AVOID ARREST.

MIKE URICH IS WITH THE FAMILY
DOING THESE CONS

AND DOING THESE SCAMS.

BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN PART
OF HIM,

THAT SEXUAL PREDATOR,

THAT VIOLENT NATURE
THAT NEEDS TO ATTACK WOMEN,

IS THERE, AND
I THINK AT SOME POINT

HE GOES ROGUE,
HE GOES OFF THE RAILS,

AND HE STARTS DOING
THESE SIDE CRIMES.

Joe: SHE TELLS BURCH
THAT IN HER OPINION,

IT'S LIKELY URICH HAS FLED
THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES,
"WHERE IS HE?"

Pollaccia: THERE WAS NO LEADS.
WE CANVASSED THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I FOUND ONE NEIGHBOR THAT
HAD FOUND A YELLOW STATION WAGON

DURING THE TIME OF THE CRIME,
PARKED TWO HOUSES AWAY.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS ODD BECAUSE
IT HAD ARIZONA TAGS ON IT,

AND THAT WAS A RENTAL HOUSE
THAT WAS VACANT.

SO I GOT A SEARCH WARRANT
FOR THE TOWN HOME.

IT WAS A JACKPOT.

IT WAS FILLED
WITH LARGE GREEN GARBAGE BAGS,

PACKED FLOOR TO CEILING,
EVERY ROOM.

I FOUND A HUGE DUFFEL BAG
IN ONE OF THE CLOSETS,

FILLED WITH JEWELRY.
LATER, WE FIGURED OUT

IT WAS OVER A QUARTER MILLION
DOLLARS IN JEWELRY IN IT.

Burch:
SO, THERE IN THIS CRIME SCENE,

RINGS --
LOTS AND LOTS OF RINGS.

MY VICTIM'S RINGS WERE THERE
AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

Pollaccia: I FOUND ABOUT 20
BOXES OF BRAND-NEW SNEAKERS --

REEBOK SNEAKERS.

WHEN I TALKED
TO DETECTIVE BURCH,

HE SAID HE HAD A FOOTPRINT LEFT
AT HIS SCENE

FROM A REEBOK SNEAKER.

SO, AT THAT POINT,
I TOOK SCANS OF THEM

AND SENT HIM THE SCANS I HAD,
TO SEE IF THEY MATCHED

ANY OF HIS FOOTPRINTS
THAT WERE LEFT AT THE SCENE.

I WAS SO EXCITED WITH THAT,

BECAUSE NOW I CAN BRING
IN THE ONLY EVIDENCE I HAVE

WITH THE DURNAVICH CASE.

IT WAS THAT SHOEPRINT.

Joe: BURCH IS NOW ARMED

WITH MORE THAN A DRAWING
AND A DESCRIPTION.

HE'S ARMED WITH A PHOTOGRAPH
AND A NAME.

IT'S MIKE URICH,
AND THIS IS HIS PICTURE.

HE ADDS THAT TO HIS BULLETIN

AND SENDS THAT
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND WHAT RETURNS IS
A FLOOD OF INFORMATION.

Burch: POLICE DEPARTMENTS
FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY

ARE REPORTING
ACTIVITY OF MIKE URICH.

SO I'M GETTING CALLS
FROM NEVADA, UTAH,

TEXAS, MEXICO, INDIANA.

I'M JUST GETTING
A FLOOD OF CALLS.

Joe: ONE OF THE REPLIES
TO BURCH'S BULLETIN

COMES FROM THE
CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

THEY INFORM BURCH
THAT PATROL OFFICERS

RESPONDED TO A CRIME
IN PROGRESS,

WERE MICHAEL URICH
WAS ATTACKING AN ELDERLY WOMAN

WITHOUT REALIZING THAT
HER DAUGHTER WAS HIDING UPSTAIRS

AND WAS ON THE PHONE TO 911.

CHICAGO P.D. ARRIVES
AND ARRESTS MR. URICH

IN THE ACT OF COMMITTING
THE CRIME.

WHEN THEY TAKE HIM
BEFORE A JUDGE AND A COURT,

URICH'S ATTORNEY ARGUES
THAT HE SUFFERS

FROM MENTAL INCOMPETENCE.

HE WAS CONVICTED AND SENTENCED
TO A MENTAL HEALTH WARD.

AND I WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO HIM

WHO THIS MONSTER WAS
THAT THEY HAD IN CUSTODY.

THEY HAD NO IDEA
ANY OF THIS WAS HAPPENING.

THEY JUST HAD THEIR ONE CRIME.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT,

HE WAS GOING TO BE
GETTING OUT REAL SOON.

SO WE ALL SUDDENLY WENT

FROM "WE PLENTY OF TIME
IN THE WORLD"

TO "WE HAVE TO GO NOW."

Joe: DETECTIVE BURCH HAS BEEN
WORKING THE DURNAVICH CASE

AND HAS OBTAINED INFORMATION

THAT HIS SUSPECT IS MIKE URICH,

WHO IS CURRENTLY IN
A PSYCHIATRIC WARD IN ILLINOIS.

BURCH IS AWARE
HE NEEDS TO MOVE QUICKLY.

Watkiss:
DARREN REALIZED THAT THERE ARE

OTHER COPS IN OTHER CITIES
THAT ARE GOING TO GRAB THIS GUY.

AND HE SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
FOR JOHN AND HAZEL,

I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE
THEY COME BACK TO ARIZONA."

Joe: HE TAKES HIS SERGEANT
AND THEY FLY TO ILLINOIS

TO INTERROGATE MIKE URICH
BEFORE HE'S RELEASED

AND IN THE WIND AGAIN.

Burch: THERE WAS
A LOT OF PRESSURE.

AND SO I WAS NERVOUS.

I'VE DONE SO MANY INTERVIEWS
IN MY 30 YEARS.

IT WAS DIFFERENT IN THE SENSE

THAT I HAD SO MUCH AT STAKE.

I KEPT HEARING THE RECORDING
OF HAZEL

TALKING ABOUT WHEN JOHN DIED.

I WANTED TO GET HIM
TO MAKE SOME ADMISSION.

Joe: HE HAS A CASSETTE TAPE
WITH A 30-MINUTE SPAN.

HE'S GOT 30 MINUTES

TO HAVE URICH SAY
SOMETHING INCRIMINATING.

Burch: AND WHEN
HE STARTED WALKING UP,

I SEE HE'S A BIG, BIG GUY.

HE COULD HAVE SQUISHED ME
WITH ONE THIGH.

I MEAN, THAT'S HOW BIG
THIS GUY WAS.

Burch:
AND HE HAS THAT LOOK

LIKE, THE ONLY WAY
I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS ARROGANCE.

AND HE COMES IN,

AND THERE WAS A CALM
THAT CAME OVER ME,

BECAUSE NOW, "YEAH,
I GOT YOU, I GOT YOU.

AND NOW YOU GOT TO PLAY
BY MY RULES."

Joe: AS THE CONVERSATION
BEGINS,

HE WAIVES HIS RIGHTS AND
SAYS HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE.

PERFECT, MR. URICH,

LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION.

BURCH BEGINS ASKING
INNOCUOUS QUESTIONS,

"COULD WE HAVE
AN ADDRESS FOR YOU?"

I HAD SO MUCH ADRENALINE
AND EXCITEMENT BY THIS TIME

THAT I WAS CONTAINING IT,
BECAUSE I KNEW HE HAD JUST

GIVEN UP HIMSELF AT THE LOCATION
WHERE THE DURNAVICHES LIVED

AT THE TIME OF THE CRIME.

Joe:
HE DOESN'T REACT TO THAT,

BUT IN HIS MIND,
STRIKE ONE FOR MR. URICH.

I'LL BE HONEST.
IT'S A GUILTY PLEASURE.

IT'S A GUILTY PLEASURE TO BE
ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT MONSTER

IN THE FACE
AND USE A RUSE AGAINST HIM.

SO I TALKED ABOUT
THE PROPERTY ASPECT

OF HIS CRIMES.
HE WAS STILL IN GREEN.

Pollaccia: THERE'S A WAY
OF TALKING TO CONMEN.

YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT THEM
EVERY TIME THEY TELL YOU A LIE

OR EVERY TIME
THEY CHANGE THEIR STORY.

AND YOU CAN'T LET IT WAIT.

THEY THINK
THEY'RE CONNING YOU,

YOU GOT TO CONFRONT THEM
IMMEDIATELY,

BECAUSE IT THROWS THEM OFF.

JIM MARKEY SHOWED THE SHOEPRINT

AND SAID, "WELL,
THESE ARE YOUR SHOES,"

AS IF THAT'S A GIVEN.

AND THEN HE BIT ON IT.

I WAS SHOCKED.

MY JAW MAY HAVE DROPPED,

BECAUSE I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.

THAT'S STRIKE TWO AND THREE.

HE'S AN INSTINCTUAL ANIMAL

WHEN IT COMES
TO PHYSICAL ATTACK.

BUT HE'S A MORON
WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING ELSE.

WE HAD VERY LITTLE TIME LEFT
IN THE RECORDING,

SO I FELT THIS WAS
THE PERFECT TIME

TO BRING THE HAMMER DOWN.

WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE,
AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

Joe: WHEN YOU GET A STATEMENT
LIKE THAT,

THEN YOU JUST HIT THE BALL
OUT OF YANKEE STADIUM.

YOU DID THIS IN A FEW MINUTES,

AND URICH IS BEYOND COOPERATIVE,
IN TERMS OF PROVIDING YOU

WITH THE ROPE YOU NEED
TO HANG HIM WITH.

AND THE LOOK
ON HIS FACE...

NO!...THAT EXPLODED.

IT WAS LIKE POPPING A BALLOON.

THERE'S MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

TO CAUSE THE EXTRADITION
OF MR. URICH

BACK TO PHOENIX, ARIZONA,

TO FACE CHARGES
IN THE DURNAVICH CASE.

AND SINCE THEY HAVE HIM FIRST,

EVERYONE ELSE
IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT.

AFTERWARDS, WE WERE GIDDY
WITH EXCITEMENT.

WE GOT HIM.
IT JUST FELT REALLY GOOD.

SO GOOD THAT BEFORE WE HIT
THE PLANE BACK TO PHOENIX,

WE SAW A CHICAGO CUBS GAME
AT WRIGLEY FIELD.

IT WAS REALLY COOL.

IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS
THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET.

♪♪

Joe: SO IF YOU CONSIDER WHAT
URICH DID IN THE DURNAVICH CASE,

HE'S THINKING ABOUT THIS.

HE'S SURVEILLING THEM.

HE IDENTIFIES THEM AS WEAK
AND ELDERLY,

EASILY OVERCOME.

WHEN HE CLIMBED OVER THAT FENCE,

URICH OPENED THE SHED

AND HE FINDS THE BAR
FROM A WEIGHT SET.

HE PICKS IT UP
AND WALKS TO THE POWER BOX

TO KILL THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY
TO THE HOUSE.

Burch: JOHN WAS THE HANDYMAN.

SO WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT,

THERE WASN'T A SECOND THOUGHT
WHAT JOHN WAS GOING TO DO.

HE WAS GOING TO CHECK
THE BREAKERS.

♪♪

♪♪

[ GRUNTS ][ MOANS ]

Hazel: JOHN?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Urich: I'LL SHOW YOU
WHAT I'M DOING.

AAH!

Burch:
THE IDEA OF A HOME INVASION,

BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE
BRUTALLY BEATEN,

GAGGED, BOUND.

AND THEN FOR HER TO BE RAPED
WAS BEYOND THE PALE.

Joe: AFTER HE ASSAULTS HAZEL,
HE TAKES HER WEDDING RING.

HE COMMITS THIS VIOLENT,
HORRIBLE CRIME,

GOES RIGHT BACK OUT
OVER THE SAME FENCE,

LEAVES HIS SHOEPRINT IN THE MUD,
AND GOES ON HIS MERRY WAY.

HE'S OFF TO FIND ANOTHER VICTIM.

Burch:
SO, AS WE TAKE THE FLIGHT
BACK TO PHOENIX,

WE HAVE THE PHOTOGRAPHIC LINEUP
THAT I'VE DONE

WITH THESE OTHER VICTIMS,
THESE ROBBERY VICTIMS,

THAT'S HIM.

AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS ABLE
TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY

MIKE URICH
AS THE PERSON WHO ATTACKED THEM.

I HAVE ALL THIS GREAT STUFF.

IT'S LITERALLY, TRULY
A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE.

HE PLED OUT TO A LOT OF CRIMES.

HE PLED OUT
TO THE SEXUAL ASSAULT OF SOPHIA.

HE DID PLEAD OUT
TO ATTACKING JOHN AND HAZEL.

IT WAS JUST A MATTER
OF SENTENCING HIM.

Joe:
HE KNOWS THAT HE'S GOING TO BE

LOCKED UP IN A BOX
FOR THE REST OF HIS DAYS,

AND DECIDES THE COWARD'S WAY OUT
IS TO END HIS LIFE.

HE MAKES A NOOSE
OUT OF A BEDSHEET

AND HANGS HIMSELF IN THE CELL.

Burch: I WAS GLAD.

HE SAVED THE VICTIMS
FROM HAVING TO GO TO COURT.

I WAS VERY HAPPY TO HEAR
THAT HE KILLED HIMSELF.

I REALLY WAS.

♪♪

THERE WAS THIS BEAUTIFUL
LOVE STORY,

AND FOR IT TO END
ON SUCH A HORRIFIC NOTE

OF NOT JUST TRAGEDY,
BUT TORMENT, THAT HURTS.

TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPEN TO THEM,

YOU THINK, "WHY?"

AND I DON'T KNOW
IF THERE'S EVER GOING TO BE

A GOOD ANSWER TO THAT.

Burch: AS AN INVESTIGATOR, YOU
WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE JUSTICE.

THE CULMINATION OF THIS CASE,
THE ARREST,

THAT WAS ALL BECAUSE
OF THE DURNAVICHES.

THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE ME
A DETAILED ACCOUNT

OF WHAT HE DID
IS WHAT GAVE ME THE PERSISTENCE

TO CONTINUE THIS INVESTIGATION

AND LOOK FOR OTHER POTENTIAL
VICTIMS.

BECAUSE OF THEM,
WE GOT THIS MONSTER.

Joe: DETECTIVE DARREN BURCH
DOESN'T QUIT.

HE DOES WHAT HE WAS MADE
TO DO -- FIND THE BAD GUY.

SOMEBODY HAS TO.
