00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:17,206 But as it turned out, his hunting ground extended much further. 20 00:01:17,241 --> 00:01:20,141 This is part one of The Times Square Killer. 21 00:01:30,620 -->

happening in the 1970s is that 33 00:02:12,827 --> 00:02:17,377 serial killers target sex workers because 34 00:02:17,413 --> 00:02:20,453 they are marginalized and vulnerable. 35 00:02:20,482 -->

pretty much. 184 00:11:10,103 --> 00:11:13,003 So, you know, law enforcement now 185 00:11:13,034 --> 00:11:14,764 has a lot of tools, 186 00:11:14,793 --> 00:11:16,723 they have a lot more technology 187 00:11:16,758 --> 00:11:21,898 and crimes could be solved in different ways than years ago. 188 00:11:21,931 --> 00:11:25,341 [John] So, it's a matter of just trying to canvas 189 00:11:25,379 --> 00:11:28,449 who were the check out people working that night. 190 00:11:28,482 --> 00:11:30,862 Was there a security detail? 191 00:11:30,896 --> 00:11:35,336 One of the leads, uh, back then was that someone 192 00:11:35,379 --> 00:11:40,099 allegedly saw her talking with somebody that was a hippie. 193 00:11:40,137 --> 00:11:42,927 He had long hair and I believe he wore bell bottoms. 194 00:11:44,931 --> 00:11:48,071 But back in 1967 there were a lot of hippies, 195 00:11:48,103 --> 00:11:51,623 so that kind of a lead wasn't really gonna help you too much. 196 00:11:53,137 --> 00:11:54,547 There were other leads 197 00:11:54,586 --> 00:11:57,096 and they were all focused on 198 00:11:57,137 --> 00:11:59,787 apparently people seeing her speaking with others. 199 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,520 [Steve] But the fact she was at the store, 200 00:12:02,551 --> 00:12:04,451 might have been friendly with people who were there, 201 00:12:04,482 --> 00:12:06,482 uh, didn't raise any red flags. 202 00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:10,790 No one person stood out suspicious. 203 00:12:13,206 --> 00:12:15,786 But detectives did notice something odd about the crime scene. 204 00:12:16,896 --> 00:12:20,996 One of the things that was gnawing at police 205 00:12:21,034 --> 00:12:23,454 was that the vehicle was locked 206 00:12:24,896 --> 00:12:27,656 that Nancy Vogel's body was found in 207 00:12:27,689 --> 00:12:28,999 and that the keys were missing. 208 00:12:29,931 --> 00:12:31,931 Were nowhere to be found inside 209 00:12:31,965 --> 00:12:34,305 nor were they found outside the vehicle. 210 00:12:34,344 --> 00:12:37,484 So the killer took the time to lock the vehicle. 211 00:12:38,655 --> 00:12:41,305 [John] Whoever committed this crime 212 00:12:41,344 --> 00:12:43,864 took the car keys most likely because 213 00:12:43,896 --> 00:12:48,166 they didn't want some random person opening up the car door. 214 00:12:48,206 --> 00:12:50,926 And this took the investigation in a direction 215 00:12:50,965 --> 00:12:53,855 that the detectives had never expected. 216 00:12:53,896 --> 00:12:56,826 On the day following the report of her being missing, 217 00:12:56,862 --> 00:12:59,242 her brother showed up at Little Ferry police 218 00:12:59,275 --> 00:13:01,025 and said, "My sister is missing 219 00:13:02,344 --> 00:13:04,074 but I found her car keys." 220 00:13:06,862 --> 00:13:09,072 And gave the police the keys to her car. 221 00:13:10,413 --> 00:13:11,663 [Steve] This was shocking. 222 00:13:11,689 --> 00:13:14,829 Investigators knew that whoever killed Nancy Vogel 223 00:13:14,862 --> 00:13:16,382 locked the car and took her keys. 224 00:13:17,413 --> 00:13:19,343 They knew that the keys were missing 225 00:13:19,379 --> 00:13:21,239 and when they saw that 226 00:13:21,275 --> 00:13:23,475 here's her brother with the car keys, 227 00:13:23,517 --> 00:13:25,897 immediately that makes him a suspect. 228 00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:28,141 Police thought how could he have his sister's keys 229 00:13:28,172 --> 00:13:31,032 if he didn't have something to do with the murder? 230 00:13:31,068 --> 00:13:33,378 But there was nothing else indicating that he was guilty. 231 00:13:34,758 --> 00:13:36,238 [John] So he was a suspect? 232 00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:38,895 Nowhere near enough to charge him 233 00:13:38,931 --> 00:13:41,661 Now, some police officer made a mistake back then 234 00:13:42,275 --> 00:13:43,585 and shared that with 235 00:13:44,827 --> 00:13:46,167 one or more of the family members 236 00:13:46,206 --> 00:13:48,376 which they should not have done. 237 00:13:48,413 --> 00:13:50,103 [Steve] Even though her brother was cleared, 238 00:13:50,137 --> 00:13:53,897 some of Nancy's relatives were convinced he was guilty. 239 00:13:53,931 --> 00:13:56,241 They wouldn't find out the truth for more than 40 years. 240 00:13:59,793 --> 00:14:03,553 [Steve] Nancy Vogel's killer continued to work in the shadows. 241 00:14:03,586 --> 00:14:05,656 He didn't just stick to the suburbs of New Jersey. 242 00:14:22,689 --> 00:14:24,929 [Larry] The killer was in Manhattan 243 00:14:24,965 --> 00:14:28,305 and he went into a bar to have a drink and ran into a woman there. 244 00:14:28,344 --> 00:14:31,074 A waitress, named Karen Schlip. 245 00:14:31,103 --> 00:14:33,313 She was leaving to go meet with her boyfriend 246 00:14:33,344 --> 00:14:36,694 and she was approached by a... a stranger wearing 247 00:14:36,724 --> 00:14:38,414 some sort of shaggy wig. 248 00:14:39,413 --> 00:14:40,593 He asked if she was a hooker. 249 00:14:41,793 --> 00:14:43,663 Uh, she didn't really 250 00:14:43,689 --> 00:14:45,409 notice that he looked a little off, 251 00:14:45,448 --> 00:14:47,968 you know and, uh... 252 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,830 She said she was not a prostitute, they continued to talk 253 00:14:51,862 --> 00:14:55,072 and he identified himself as Joseph Schafer. 254 00:14:56,965 --> 00:14:59,095 So after the two are having a drink at the bar, 255 00:15:00,655 --> 00:15:03,545 she starts to feel dizzy maybe as if something was slipped in her drink. 256 00:15:05,172 --> 00:15:08,382 She walks out and starts to, uh, wobble back home. 257 00:15:09,344 --> 00:15:12,384 At this point, Mr. Schafer 258 00:15:12,413 --> 00:15:14,973 as she knew him, asked if she needed a ride. 259 00:15:16,586 --> 00:15:19,206 She gets in the car and she passes out. 260 00:15:20,827 --> 00:15:23,687 When she wakes up, they're on the New Jersey Turnpike 261 00:15:24,862 --> 00:15:27,622 at which point, Schafer as she knew him 262 00:15:27,655 --> 00:15:31,995 shoved tuanols, they're a barbiturate and used as a date rape drug 263 00:15:32,034 --> 00:15:33,974 into her mouth and she passed out again. 264 00:15:40,517 --> 00:15:43,717 The next morning, Karen woke up in a drainage ditch 265 00:15:43,758 --> 00:15:45,518 up in Bergen County, New Jersey. 266 00:15:50,172 --> 00:15:54,312 She was revived by a police officer who performed CPR on her. 267 00:15:54,344 --> 00:15:55,794 When she finally stabilized, 268 00:15:55,827 --> 00:15:59,967 police had a lot of questions about exactly what had occurred. 269 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,760 She's taken to the hospital and, uh, they're looking for a description 270 00:16:03,793 --> 00:16:07,413 but she's not really able to give them anything specific 271 00:16:07,448 --> 00:16:10,968 it's just sort of a vague description of this guy, 272 00:16:12,827 --> 00:16:15,617 and it leaves police with little to chase. 273 00:16:18,137 --> 00:16:20,857 Police soon realize the name Joseph Schafer was an alias. 274 00:16:25,103 --> 00:16:27,033 [Mike] In the 70's what was very 275 00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:31,000 normal was hitchhiking. 276 00:16:31,034 --> 00:16:32,384 A lot of these young kids did it. 277 00:16:33,482 --> 00:16:35,452 That was the fatal mistake they made that day. 278 00:16:45,172 --> 00:16:46,862 [Steve] He is known as The Times Square Killer 279 00:16:46,896 --> 00:16:49,306 but it really is a New Jersey story because 280 00:16:49,344 --> 00:16:52,074 he was raised here and a lot of his victims were from here 281 00:16:53,379 --> 00:16:56,339 Basically his comfort zone was right in Bergen County. 282 00:16:58,724 --> 00:17:00,624 In fact that's where he lived this very 283 00:17:00,655 --> 00:17:02,715 unassuming, suburban home life. 284 00:17:04,103 --> 00:17:05,663 [Larry] He's living in Lodi, New Jersey 285 00:17:05,689 --> 00:17:08,069 up in Bergen County kind of a small, 286 00:17:08,103 --> 00:17:10,833 I guess bedroom community for lack of a better term. 287 00:17:10,862 --> 00:17:14,312 He was a average guy who had a family. 288 00:17:14,344 --> 00:17:17,384 He had a wife and three children, two boys and a girl. 289 00:17:18,551 --> 00:17:20,761 Had a home, had a job. 290 00:17:20,793 --> 00:17:23,173 And he was very disarming to people 291 00:17:23,206 --> 00:17:25,586 because he didn't look abnormal 292 00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:28,310 or disturbed or deviant in any way. 293 00:17:29,379 --> 00:17:31,139 It was his averageness, 294 00:17:31,172 --> 00:17:34,692 his normalness that made him particularly treacherous. 295 00:17:34,724 --> 00:17:39,344 [Louis] Many serial sexual murderers are married or in committed relationships 296 00:17:39,379 --> 00:17:41,829 at the time they're going out murdering people 297 00:17:41,862 --> 00:17:42,972 and they'll interview 298 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,550 the wife and the wife will say, 299 00:17:44,586 --> 00:17:48,026 "I knew something was a little odd about the person but I never ever thought 300 00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:51,658 in a million years that he was going around killing people." 301 00:17:51,689 --> 00:17:54,099 [Steve] I don't even know if it's cognitive dissonance or something like that, 302 00:17:54,137 --> 00:17:57,897 I mean it's some kind of remarkable compartmentalization 303 00:17:57,931 --> 00:18:00,661 that it would take to separate those two lives. 304 00:18:10,344 --> 00:18:13,764 [Brenna] Teenage, Mary Ann Pryor and Lorraine Kelly 305 00:18:13,793 --> 00:18:18,763 were going to the Jersey Shore and they wanted to get bathing suits. 306 00:18:18,793 --> 00:18:23,283 [Rod] Neither of them are old enough to have a motor vehicle licence. 307 00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:26,450 [Brenna] So they were hitchhiking to the Paramus mall. 308 00:18:26,482 --> 00:18:29,142 [Rod] That was a way of getting around. 309 00:18:29,172 --> 00:18:32,482 These are kids and, uh, they figured they can get away with it. 310 00:18:33,758 --> 00:18:35,758 [Mike] Now, you gotta remember in the 70's, 311 00:18:35,793 --> 00:18:39,663 what was very normal was hitchhiking. 312 00:18:40,931 --> 00:18:42,661 I mean, you would drive down the street 313 00:18:42,689 --> 00:18:44,689 and everybody would be hitchhiking. 314 00:18:44,724 --> 00:18:46,834 It was absolutely dangerous 315 00:18:46,862 --> 00:18:50,032 for anyone to hitchhike because you didn't know who was picking you up. 316 00:18:51,172 --> 00:18:53,762 But a lot of these young kids did it, 317 00:18:53,793 --> 00:18:56,003 and that was the fatal mistake they made that day. 318 00:19:00,344 --> 00:19:03,794 [Steve] When Mary Ann Pryor missed her 10 p.m. curfew, her parents got worried. 319 00:19:06,172 --> 00:19:08,762 They start calling her friends and then they realize that 320 00:19:08,793 --> 00:19:11,483 Lorraine has also not come home. 321 00:19:11,517 --> 00:19:14,477 So, now there's two missing teenagers. 322 00:19:15,758 --> 00:19:17,858 They call the North Bergen County police 323 00:19:17,896 --> 00:19:22,096 and they have to wait 24 hours to file a police report. 324 00:19:22,137 --> 00:19:24,167 At that point, Mary Ann was actually still alive. 325 00:19:26,206 --> 00:19:28,686 From what I know about it, he could come to a hotel. 326 00:19:30,827 --> 00:19:33,447 And he had forced them in by saying, you know, that 327 00:19:33,482 --> 00:19:36,002 go into the hotel room or else I'm gonna hurt you. 328 00:19:36,034 --> 00:19:39,864 He's menacing, he's an adult, he's pretty strong 329 00:19:39,896 --> 00:19:42,856 and basically forces himself on them. 330 00:19:44,344 --> 00:19:46,974 They were tied to beds so they couldn't escape during the night. 331 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,830 And eventually, he drowned them in the hotel bathtub. 332 00:19:51,482 --> 00:19:52,522 [girl screaming] 333 00:19:56,655 --> 00:19:59,995 This is really the prototypical serial sexual murder. 334 00:20:01,172 --> 00:20:03,452 The more excruciating the pain, 335 00:20:03,482 --> 00:20:06,692 the more suffering the victim experiences, 336 00:20:06,724 --> 00:20:09,454 the more arousing it is for the offender. 337 00:20:22,172 --> 00:20:25,212 Marry Ann's family was listening to the radio when something shocking came on. 338 00:20:26,931 --> 00:20:29,311 So they hear that they found these two bodies. 339 00:20:30,310 --> 00:20:31,790 There was a knock on the door 340 00:20:31,827 --> 00:20:36,857 and it was the worst news any family could get. 341 00:20:36,896 --> 00:20:42,166 Your daughter is missing with her friend and it's days on end. 342 00:20:42,206 --> 00:20:46,306 And then you hear on the radio that they found two bodies. 343 00:20:46,344 --> 00:20:51,174 I mean, it is. It is a scene from an awful movie. 344 00:20:51,206 --> 00:20:55,376 Their bodies were discovered in a construction site in Montvale. 345 00:20:56,241 --> 00:20:58,621 They had both been sexually assaulted. 346 00:20:59,586 --> 00:21:03,376 They had both been beaten badly. 347 00:21:03,413 --> 00:21:07,243 They had to identify the girls by jewelry that was found on their body. 348 00:21:07,275 --> 00:21:09,585 The scene was a very difficult one to process. 349 00:21:09,620 --> 00:21:11,620 You're not coming up with fingerprints. 350 00:21:11,655 --> 00:21:17,715 Scene was not laned with blood or other things that could somehow give you clues. 351 00:21:17,758 --> 00:21:19,378 There's no evidence of dragging. 352 00:21:19,413 --> 00:21:22,243 You know, when you're on a construction site, it's hard to tell. 353 00:21:22,275 --> 00:21:26,895 The murder of these two children disrupted the sense of security 354 00:21:26,931 --> 00:21:30,211 the people felt in the New Jersey suburbs. 355 00:21:30,241 --> 00:21:32,241 When people in New Jersey watched the news every night 356 00:21:32,275 --> 00:21:34,685 and they hear murder after murder occurring in Manhattan, 357 00:21:34,724 --> 00:21:36,624 New Jersey seems pretty safe. 358 00:21:36,655 --> 00:21:39,855 The last thing you expect to see, you know, 359 00:21:39,896 --> 00:21:42,966 cops finding bodies on your doorstep. 360 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,900 Those two girls were my age, were found not far from where I grew up in Bergen County. 361 00:21:48,931 --> 00:21:53,311 And I actually remember when the bodies were discovered. 362 00:21:53,344 --> 00:21:57,074 The New York Daily Newsran their pictures on the front page. 363 00:21:58,413 --> 00:22:01,413 And I remember that stuck with me. 364 00:22:01,448 --> 00:22:04,588 And I remember seeing both of their eyes and it made and impact on me. 365 00:22:07,344 --> 00:22:11,004 The law enforcement had no idea whether the killer had struck in this area before. 366 00:22:18,068 --> 00:22:21,238 It's strange because there's a lot of deaths in this area. 367 00:22:23,310 --> 00:22:25,140 He's not really travelling that far, 368 00:22:25,172 --> 00:22:27,482 and there's all these unsolved murders. 369 00:22:27,517 --> 00:22:31,307 But no one, at least at the time, seems to be putting them together. 370 00:22:31,344 --> 00:22:33,934 It would be decades before anyone realized 371 00:22:33,965 --> 00:22:37,965 that the man who killed the two teenagers was actually the Times Square Killer. 372 00:22:52,793 --> 00:22:55,553 Welcome back to Very Scary People. 373 00:22:55,586 --> 00:22:59,336 The Times Square Killer continues to claim the lives of innocent victims, 374 00:22:59,379 --> 00:23:02,689 leaving a trail of horrific crimes in his wake. 375 00:23:02,724 --> 00:23:04,794 Meanwhile, police have no idea 376 00:23:04,827 --> 00:23:08,097 there's a serial killer crisscrossing the Hudson River, 377 00:23:08,137 --> 00:23:11,447 slaughtering women in Manhattan and suburban New Jersey. 378 00:23:11,482 --> 00:23:14,242 And this man has no intention of stopping. 379 00:23:17,793 --> 00:23:19,763 He killed a 29 year old women 380 00:23:19,793 --> 00:23:22,143 and he killed 13-year-olds. 381 00:23:22,172 --> 00:23:26,622 It's just this weird bottomless pit of horror. 382 00:23:28,931 --> 00:23:33,071 He could be today responsible for anywhere between 85 and 100 383 00:23:33,103 --> 00:23:34,793 of these types of homicides. 384 00:23:36,275 --> 00:23:39,615 In 2009 French documentary, the killer seemed to take pride 385 00:23:39,655 --> 00:23:41,095 in the way that he evaded authorities. 386 00:23:42,758 --> 00:23:43,828 [killer's voice] 387 00:24:06,482 --> 00:24:08,972 Maryann Carr lived in an apartment complex 388 00:24:09,655 --> 00:24:12,205 in Little Ferry, New Jersey. 389 00:24:12,241 --> 00:24:15,691 She had been divorced and recently remarried. 390 00:24:16,482 --> 00:24:18,902 She was an X-ray technician. 391 00:24:18,931 --> 00:24:21,971 She was planning that day to meet her mother-in-law and just never appeared. 392 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,970 So family members became frantic, particularly because her husband was out of town. 393 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,480 They reached out to the police. 394 00:24:28,827 --> 00:24:31,617 And it appears that she was abducted. 395 00:24:31,655 --> 00:24:37,135 She was seen having a confrontation with a man in the parking lot. 396 00:24:37,172 --> 00:24:40,662 And then she was taken away by the killer. 397 00:24:40,689 --> 00:24:45,339 He dumped her body in the parking lot, I believe, of the Quality Inn 398 00:24:45,379 --> 00:24:46,899 between a van and a fence. 399 00:24:50,655 --> 00:24:53,375 The hotel in suburban Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey 400 00:24:53,413 --> 00:24:57,003 was considered a safe place by the guests and by the workers. 401 00:24:59,517 --> 00:25:02,787 [Eleanor] The Quality Inn in Hasbrouck Heights, where I worked. 402 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:06,620 My father was a maintenance man. 403 00:25:08,482 --> 00:25:12,722 I was looking for a part time job, 'cause now the kids were in school and all. 404 00:25:12,758 --> 00:25:14,788 He used say, need help with the Quality Inn. 405 00:25:15,724 --> 00:25:17,034 I said, okay... 406 00:25:17,448 --> 00:25:18,408 Doing what? 407 00:25:18,448 --> 00:25:21,278 Cleaning rooms. Oh, all right. 408 00:25:21,310 --> 00:25:23,760 I could do that. Clean my house, clean rooms. 409 00:25:23,793 --> 00:25:27,213 My best friend worked there. 410 00:25:27,241 --> 00:25:29,901 My sister-in-law worked there. 411 00:25:29,931 --> 00:25:32,171 We were just a big family. 412 00:25:32,206 --> 00:25:35,856 Some of our guests were the Giants football players. 413 00:25:35,896 --> 00:25:39,656 And they would watch cartoons before they went to play their game. 414 00:25:39,689 --> 00:25:41,279 I used to talk to them. 415 00:25:41,310 --> 00:25:43,100 Wrestlers would stay there, 416 00:25:43,517 --> 00:25:44,447 businessmen. 417 00:25:47,586 --> 00:25:49,546 Now, the hotel was thrown into disarray. 418 00:25:51,379 --> 00:25:53,519 My father saw it. 419 00:25:53,551 --> 00:25:58,521 And he was telling me, "Elly, they found a body in the parking lot." 420 00:25:58,551 --> 00:26:01,831 That was just... that's all we knew about Maryann Carr. 421 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,140 When she was found dead, Carr also had marks around her wrists and her ankles, 422 00:26:10,172 --> 00:26:13,662 which indicated that she was probably handcuffed at some point. 423 00:26:13,689 --> 00:26:16,139 There was a ligature mark around her neck 424 00:26:16,172 --> 00:26:19,312 and traces of adhesive tape around her mouth. 425 00:26:19,344 --> 00:26:24,314 She had been bitten all over the body, sexually abused. 426 00:26:24,344 --> 00:26:29,864 We thought it was just some nut, murderer, whatever dumped the body there. 427 00:26:29,896 --> 00:26:32,276 We did not expect the person to come back. 428 00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:33,760 But as time went on, 429 00:26:33,793 --> 00:26:37,383 authorities would realize that the killer was a creature of habit. 430 00:26:37,413 --> 00:26:40,623 And the Quality Inn at Hasbrouck Heights was one of his favorite stops. 431 00:26:42,896 --> 00:26:45,856 He keeps coming back to the Quality Inn. 432 00:26:45,896 --> 00:26:52,446 And used it not only for his deeds of murder and mayhem, 433 00:26:52,482 --> 00:26:57,792 but he also was dating a woman and brought her there a couple of different times. 434 00:26:58,931 --> 00:27:02,341 It is very, very typical for any criminal 435 00:27:02,379 --> 00:27:07,029 to operate where they feel comfort and they feel comfortable by familiarity. 436 00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:15,240 As detectives retraced the killer's steps, they came up with a clue. 437 00:27:15,275 --> 00:27:18,895 There was an eyewitness who was driving past the apartment complex 438 00:27:18,931 --> 00:27:21,281 where the abduction took place, 439 00:27:21,310 --> 00:27:24,620 who thought that he had actually seen the victim's husband 440 00:27:24,655 --> 00:27:26,335 in the rereview mirror. 441 00:27:26,379 --> 00:27:28,659 Detectives questioned the husband 442 00:27:28,689 --> 00:27:32,239 to see if he was actually on a business trip as he claimed. 443 00:27:32,275 --> 00:27:36,655 But he was later able to produce an alibi and clear himself of any 444 00:27:36,689 --> 00:27:38,519 wrongdoing or involvement at all in the case. 445 00:27:43,758 --> 00:27:47,338 What detectives didn't realize was that Maryann Carr 446 00:27:47,379 --> 00:27:49,479 and another victim had lived in the same place. 447 00:27:50,896 --> 00:27:53,406 Like the Quality Inn, this was another example of 448 00:27:53,448 --> 00:27:56,068 the killer returning to places that he was familiar with. 449 00:27:57,379 --> 00:28:01,449 Two of his victims Nancy Vogel and Maryann Carr 450 00:28:01,482 --> 00:28:03,482 both lived in the same apartment complex, 451 00:28:03,517 --> 00:28:05,787 even though the murders occurred 10 years apart. 452 00:28:06,758 --> 00:28:08,448 They were sporadic events. 453 00:28:09,413 --> 00:28:11,553 It wasn't like... 454 00:28:11,586 --> 00:28:15,096 these things were happening every week, 455 00:28:15,137 --> 00:28:17,097 and they would say, "Hey, this is the same guy." 456 00:28:18,448 --> 00:28:21,898 Because you have couple of years later a different detective. 457 00:28:21,931 --> 00:28:24,411 Maybe some of these detectives were transferred out. 458 00:28:24,448 --> 00:28:26,718 Okay, so... 459 00:28:26,758 --> 00:28:31,098 could somebody say, it is similar to something we had a couple of years ago, yes. 460 00:28:31,137 --> 00:28:36,307 But the technology wasn't in place back then that it is now. 461 00:28:36,344 --> 00:28:39,244 DNA would've made a difference but obviously it wasn't there. 462 00:28:39,275 --> 00:28:45,475 Many homicides are... there's a family or familial connection. 463 00:28:45,517 --> 00:28:48,617 Many of them are based up on crimes of passion. 464 00:28:48,655 --> 00:28:51,445 But the ones that where the victims 465 00:28:52,344 --> 00:28:55,554 don't have a connection to the murderer, 466 00:28:55,586 --> 00:28:59,716 those are the ones that are difficult to really pinpoint. 467 00:28:59,758 --> 00:29:03,588 It makes them also very difficult to solve. 468 00:29:03,620 --> 00:29:09,070 You have all these very tiny police departments who may not be tying things together. 469 00:29:09,103 --> 00:29:13,553 Law enforcement has always been a tribal sort of thing. 470 00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:16,476 And the communication isn't always there. 471 00:29:16,517 --> 00:29:22,547 In Bergen County, there are 73 independent and separate police departments, 472 00:29:22,586 --> 00:29:27,336 69 municipals and at the time, you had county police and sheriff's department. 473 00:29:27,379 --> 00:29:31,859 So communicating between independent departments was even more problematic. 474 00:29:31,896 --> 00:29:36,206 Things back then were much more manual, much more written. 475 00:29:36,241 --> 00:29:41,691 They had detective bureaus and they would have detective associations. 476 00:29:41,724 --> 00:29:46,004 These detectives from multiple towns would get together and share notes. 477 00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:47,244 But that was about it. 478 00:29:47,275 --> 00:29:52,025 It was hard. It was hard, it was much more challenging. 479 00:29:52,068 --> 00:29:56,478 There was no internet. There was no way for the jurisdictions to communicate 480 00:29:56,517 --> 00:30:00,277 and be like, maybe we've got a serial killer here, 481 00:30:00,310 --> 00:30:02,790 maybe this is one person committing all these crimes. 482 00:30:07,482 --> 00:30:11,312 The killer identifies where he works and says he has a computer job 483 00:30:11,344 --> 00:30:14,344 and his house in the suburbs. 484 00:30:14,379 --> 00:30:16,859 He was revealing facts about his life. 485 00:30:18,137 --> 00:30:19,927 Doesn't make any difference really what he tell them, 486 00:30:19,965 --> 00:30:21,515 cause his plan is to kill them. 487 00:30:32,586 --> 00:30:36,996 In October 1978, as police were trying to find out the identity of a man 488 00:30:37,034 --> 00:30:40,104 who left a body outside a New Jersey hotel, 489 00:30:42,620 --> 00:30:46,590 the Times Square Killer was back in Manhattan doing what he always did. 490 00:30:51,310 --> 00:30:55,480 A sex worker named Susan Geiger, who was working the streets 491 00:30:55,517 --> 00:31:02,307 when a stranger who identified himself as Jim approached and offered her $200 for a date. 492 00:31:02,344 --> 00:31:05,454 She said she was booked up, but gave him a phone number to contact her at. 493 00:31:07,275 --> 00:31:10,095 This guy just seemed like a nice person that needed company. 494 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,690 And they met in an Irish bar in Manhattan 495 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,830 in the shadow of the Queensborough Bridge. 496 00:31:19,793 --> 00:31:22,283 Jim whipped out a big wad of cash. 497 00:31:22,310 --> 00:31:24,100 Claimed that he had won the money gambling. 498 00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:25,660 He then, 499 00:31:26,448 --> 00:31:27,928 bizarrely, 500 00:31:27,965 --> 00:31:31,785 identifies where he works and says that he has a computer job 501 00:31:31,827 --> 00:31:33,517 and his house in the suburbs. 502 00:31:33,551 --> 00:31:35,241 All of which is true. 503 00:31:37,689 --> 00:31:41,479 In fact, the killer had been working in computer technology for more than a decade. 504 00:31:41,517 --> 00:31:46,277 He was employed as a mainframe computer operator at a major insurance company. 505 00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:51,170 He was largely living and doing his thing out in New Jersey. 506 00:31:51,206 --> 00:31:55,546 Although, the whole time he was employed, he was working in New York City. 507 00:31:55,586 --> 00:32:00,856 And he began to get active with prostitutes, sometimes two or three times a week. 508 00:32:02,241 --> 00:32:04,761 He likes to get away with things he's not supposed to of. 509 00:32:04,793 --> 00:32:08,833 He would, apparently while he was working at the insurance company, just leave, 510 00:32:08,862 --> 00:32:11,932 go to sex clubs, do his thing and then come back. 511 00:32:14,137 --> 00:32:16,587 And despite being married, he was also dating a nurse. 512 00:32:17,896 --> 00:32:21,826 She was somebody that he met when he was out carousing. 513 00:32:22,689 --> 00:32:24,239 He met her at a bar. 514 00:32:25,034 --> 00:32:26,904 And they had a fling. 515 00:32:26,931 --> 00:32:32,341 He actually stayed with her as a boyfriend-girlfriend for a period of time. 516 00:32:32,379 --> 00:32:35,829 In the meantime, he still got his hobby, 517 00:32:35,862 --> 00:32:40,862 his extracurricular activity while he's out, you know, murdering women. 518 00:32:43,793 --> 00:32:48,033 For a guy to be in the computer business in 1960s is an anomaly, right?
