<v Speaker 2>The Death Row Club. Let that sink in the Death

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Row Club. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. I

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>want to thank you for being with us The Death

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Row Club. Is it real or is it just a

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>book by Victoria Visquez? Now this is a book of fiction.

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 2>In my world, I deal with real serial killers like

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Ted Bundy.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I still have a sense of disbelief that this man

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 3>that I loved and that was seemed to be such

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 3>a great guy could go out and do such horrific things.

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 3>It's just so hard to accept.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure you've asked yourself, why not me?

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 3>Completely? And I hate to even say this because it

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 3>makes him sound normal, But I do think he loved.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 5>His I heard a story told by one of his attorneys.

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 5>He said Ted told him that he would play games

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 5>with mice, then he would let some of them live

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:26.279
<v Speaker 5>and make some of them die. And to me, that's us.

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>That from our friends at ABC. Isn't he charming? Well

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>he's having supper with Satan? Now, how many victims did

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>he have? I don't think we really have an accurate

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 2>body count, which leads me to another real life serial killer.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's just go with Israel Keys.

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 6>I had that place that there staked out one actually

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 6>two or three knights.

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 7>And then I had a park.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 6>A couple of parks here in town, so I could

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:08.679
<v Speaker 6>ride my bike to and those staked out. And yeah,

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 6>but there's there's still a couple of gallons during a

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 6>shovel steps to do.

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.079
<v Speaker 7>Back when I was smart, I would.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 6>Do it.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 7>I would let them come to me. Interesting this remote area,

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 7>ye kind of go to a remote area that's.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 8>Not anywhere near where you live, but that other.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 7>People go to as well. You might not get exactly

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 7>what You're not much to choose from in the manner

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 7>of speaking.

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 6>But there's also no witnesses really originally fields around.

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>So as a matter of fact, and we think his

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>last victim's murder, that would be Samantha Koenig, a beautiful

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 2>young Alaska barista who was kidnapped from her coffee stand.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>He actually sewed her eyes open applied makeup. This is

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 2>of course, after sex assaulting her for hours and hours

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and hours, turning up the music really loudly so no

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>one would hear her screaming. He sows her eyes open,

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 2>covers her in makeup, and takes a blurry photo and

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>actually asks for ransom. That's Issuel keys killed kits all

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>around the country. He specifically liked to hunt at parks,

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 2>at RV camps, at camping sites. Animal I don't have

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>to think really hard to come up with BTK buying

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>torture kill the dogcatcher Dennis Raider.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 9>I was willing to have a sexual fantasy, so I

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 9>brought my hit kit and low and behold, her car

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 9>was there. I thought, geez, she's not supposed to be home.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 9>So I very carefully snuck into the house kind of

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 9>like a cat burglar, and after checking the house, she

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 9>wasn't there. So about that time the doors rattled, so

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 9>I went back to one of the bedrooms and hiding

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 9>back there in one of the bedrooms, I waited till

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 9>wee hours in the morning, and then proceeded to sneak

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 9>into her bedroom and lit the lights on what looked

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 9>like I think the bathroom lights. I just studied want

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 9>to flip her lights on, and she screamed, and I

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 9>jumped on the bed and strangled her. Manually.

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>That from our friends at k w C H and

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 2>then of course let me just throw in for good measure.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Brian Coburgerer who murdered for beautiful young Idaho Stevens. I

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>will never forget this nine one one call.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 7>Tell me exactly what's going on.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 10>One of our one of the roommates.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, are you in the patient?

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 11>Okay?

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 12>I need someone to keep the phone not passing it around.

<v Speaker 7>Okay, one moment.

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 10>I'm getting help started that way, we'll give me.

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>The list goes on and on. The Death Row Club

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Victoria us guess joining us. First question?

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 14>Why so, First of all, thank you so much for

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:36.679
<v Speaker 14>having me, Nancy. I was fascinated by the idea of

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 14>being linked to a family member and living under kind

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 14>of the pall of what they've done. Well, I personally

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 14>do not have any family members who are serial killers.

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 14>This was in some way inspired.

0:06:54.120 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>By hold on, Nelly, you sure you sure you know?

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't have a found when they are relative it's a

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>serial I'm so not kidding right now. I want you

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 2>to listen to this.

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 15>And there's a knock on my door and he said

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 15>he was the FBI. And then he says, your dad

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 15>has been arrested as BTK and I was like, I

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 15>think I'm going to pass out. I think reality was

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 15>starting to creep in and I felt my stomach just

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 15>twist realizing it could be true.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Got from our friends at ABC, Dennis Radar just evil,

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 2>evil incarnate. That's his daughter who is amazing and living

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:42.679
<v Speaker 2>with exactly what Victoria Visquez is writing about. And this book,

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I got to tell you, is amazing. I'm giving her

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a hard time, like, why would you want to write

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>about a serial killer. They're odious, they're horrible, they're the devil.

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>But what you're writing about, Victoria, I understood, is about

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 2>family that can't believe it, they're suspicious and what it

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>does to them. And you know a lot of people, Victoria,

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>they're like, hey, that's the daughter of a serial killer

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 2>screw her. But these family members are innocent. They're innocent,

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 2>and then their whole world is just shattered when they

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 2>find out they've been living with evil. Okay, where'd you

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 2>get the idea?

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 14>So this was in part inspired by something that happened

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 14>to me when I was in high school. I had

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 14>a teacher that I was very, very close with, but

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 14>then two years after I graduated, it was revealed that

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 14>he was a dangerous sexual predator. He was arrested in

0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:57.199
<v Speaker 14>a car with a fifteen year old student, and when

0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 14>I found out, I was completely blindsided. I had appsbsolutely

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 14>no idea. Again, we were so close. He inspired me

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 14>to want to become a teacher myself, and all I

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 14>could think was, if I was so caught out by

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 14>my teacher turning out to be a predator, then what

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 14>must it be like when the police come knocking on

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 14>your door telling you about all of the women that

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 14>your father has murdered?

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my stars, Oh my stars, you know what you're

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 2>reminding me of. You reminded me of a murder case

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I prosecuted, and one of my star witnesses. I had

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 2>no eyewitness to the murder. And you're about to hear,

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I had to dig the bottom of the barrel. But

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 2>you got to take your witnesses as you find them.

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I found a witness, not an eyewitness, but that could

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 2>help me in the timeline, who was a convicted rapist.

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 2>Now his story was very different than what the record reflected.

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>But I had to drive all around Atlanta with this

0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 2>guy in my beat up Honda day and night, might

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to take pictures him to show me where this happened,

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>where that happened. And he testified, And there were times

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>in the car Victoria of us guess, oh you know, Glad,

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 2>I go, I can't believe this guy is convicted rapest.

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>It was hard to take in, but I knew it

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>to be true. Okay, So that's where you got the idea.

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, absolutely, And I think that just what you're saying. Nicola,

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 14>the main character in the novel, even after her father's arrested,

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 14>even after she knows that her father murdered five women,

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 14>including her best friend from college, she still loves him.

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 14>That's not something you can just, you know, turn off

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 14>that easily. I mean, I still after my teacher was arrested,

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 14>I still have, you know, fond thoughts about him despite

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 14>the fact that I know he has done disgusting things.

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 14>It's hard to flip that switch mentally and be like,

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 14>this person who was so important to me is actually

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 14>like you're saying, is sick as a predator? Is you know,

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 14>a disgusting human being.

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 8>It's hard.

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm gonna have to go to a shrink right

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>now because you're scaring everybody in the studio by saying

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>I know that he's a child predator, but I still

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>like him.

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Rachel Toles helped me. Doctor Toles clinical forensic psychologist,

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>author of a brand new book coming out, Inventing the Psychopath. Ooh,

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 2>that's a great title, How a convenient myth makes the

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 2>world more dangerous? Okay, Doctor Rachel Toles fits in exactly

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>with what Victoria is saying. And I'm not saying she's wrong.

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying that phenomena is scary, and I live through

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that in court, particularicularly in child sex abuse cases, because

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.319
<v Speaker 2>the family, the wife, they're like, oh, no, that's not true,

0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>that didn't happen. He would never he did, and I

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>proved it and the family would be furious. I'll get

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.559
<v Speaker 2>my tires, slashed my door at my house, kicked in

0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 2>my mailbox, knocked over, because no body would believe it.

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it a matter of they can't believe it? Because

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 2>that's giz. She's super smart. This book is amazing, the

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 2>Death Row Club. But she still can't take in that

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that teacher is a pervert that prayed on children because

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>that was not her experience with him. What is that phenomenon,

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 2>doctor Rachel.

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.439
<v Speaker 16>Well, it's obviously really complicated for a lot of reasons.

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 16>I mean, human beings are complicated. So I think that,

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.559
<v Speaker 16>for example, when we get to the murder, that suddenly

0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.559
<v Speaker 16>defines the entire person. So everything that came before murders

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 16>is just gone. And I think when you mentioned this

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 16>guy was a pervert, this teacher, those are absolutely things

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 16>he did. They were despicable, and those are real things

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 16>and those are a part of him. But I think

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.839
<v Speaker 16>where we as a society and the culture where we

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 16>go is that we the minute we find out of

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 16>a despicable act, we define the entire person by that act.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 16>And that doesn't mean there's no excuse for these actions.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 16>So that's absolutely not what I'm saying. But what I

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.679
<v Speaker 16>am saying is there's also other parts of a human

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 16>being that are real. For example, I mean here we're

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 16>talking about somebody who's saying, well, I still love my

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 16>father or I still care for my teacher, and that's

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 16>very real and that doesn't go away. And so then

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 16>it's a matter of being able, as a daughter or

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 16>a person who loves somebody to hold two different people

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 16>in your mind, and you have to compartmentalize. And that's

0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.959
<v Speaker 16>really what we're talking about here. So there's a couple

0:13:59.920 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 16>of things. There's the person who murders, and that's the

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.199
<v Speaker 16>other thing. It's like, how does a daughter wrap her

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 16>head around the fact that did my father really love me?

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 16>And maybe no, yes, my father really loved me. He

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 16>was capable of love, and he was capable of doing

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 16>this despicable thing. So there's that element to it. But

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 16>then there's of course the compartmentalization. How does a human being,

0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 16>how are they able to love their daughters or their

0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 16>wives and then go out at night and murder sex

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 16>workers or people who they deem as less human. And

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 16>that's what I think we need to be looking at here.

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Detor Tolls, in addition to being a clinical and forensic

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 2>psychologist and author of a new book. I think he

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 2>may be clairvoyant, because I was just about to bring

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>up Rex Heureman, who is Lucifer? Before I show him,

0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's look at his many many victims. They went through

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 2>unimaginable suffering torture in his underground torture chamber that his

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 2>wife never noticed, and he, by the way, has made

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 2>at least one million dollars reportedly. Hey, let me see

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 2>us guests while I'm talking about human These are real

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.960
<v Speaker 2>serial killers. Okay. His wife didn't notice the underground sex

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and murder dungeon in her home, and she's reportedly made

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 2>a million dollar sum for a documentary with quotes about

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 2>her life and the trial and so forth. Asa Ullerup

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 2>is her name. I don't know about her, but I

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 2>have no doubt that his children had no idea that

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Hureman was a serial killer and are likely going through

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>what you're talking about. And I'm not saying it's wrong.

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying it's It's bizarre and hard to understand, but

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:09.440
<v Speaker 2>is real. Okay, listen, do you want to stand up.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 11>By cleaning guilty to a charge that's the same as

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 11>you from the God trial and the found guilty of

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 11>that charge, yes, do you want to stand up by cleaning?

0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 11>Guilty of waving a number of very important rents.

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 12>Rex Yeerman will be held responsible for the nineteen ninety

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 12>three murder of Sondra Castia, the nineteen ninety six murder

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 12>of Karen Vergata, the two thousand murder of Valerie Mack,

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 12>the two thousand and three murder of Jessica Taylor, the

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 12>two thousand and seven murder of Maureen brainer Barnes, the

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 12>two thousand and nine murder of Melissa Bartholemy, the June

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.280
<v Speaker 12>two thousand and nine murder of Megan Waterman, and the

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 12>September twenty ten murder of Ms Costello.

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 17>The girl runs out of the house naked and is

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 17>running in front of the garage. And now the witness says, hey,

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 17>shouldn't we be taking her? Something's wrong here, and the

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 17>driver tells her no, They're just playing a game.

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 9>Leave it.

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 11>The Go Go Beach task for searches more than three

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.400
<v Speaker 11>hundred and fifty electronic devices before finding the blueprint document

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.880
<v Speaker 11>on a hard drive in the basement of human's home.

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 11>The document includes a checklist of supplies like ropes, saws,

0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 11>and surgical drapes. Another checklist includes tasks to complete before, during,

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.240
<v Speaker 11>and after the killings, as well as practical lessons for

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 11>next time.

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Along the lines of what the Victoria of A. Squez

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 2>is writing about in this amazing book, The Death Row Club.

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>They say fresh and unforgettable. Okay, it's definitely unforgettable. I

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 2>agree with that. But another real life example of this

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 2>a woman joining us right now, her name Francine Bardol,

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 2>who knew Ted Bundy very well. And actually brace yourselves,

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.199
<v Speaker 2>because normally I would be trying to accuse her of

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 2>child neglect. Her son in Bundy's girlfriend son. Her son

0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 2>and Bundy's girlfriend's son were best friends. Bundy would take

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the two boys to movies and the pool. Ted Bundy

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>taking your child to movies and a pool party. She's

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 2>also with cold case solutions and resources. Frank saye, I mean,

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.240
<v Speaker 2>do you ever just want to go? What was I thinking?

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>But how could you know?

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 8>I didn't know?

0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 10>He was very.

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:06.919
<v Speaker 8>Smart, He presented himself well. He was very good with

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.160
<v Speaker 8>the kids. He was he really was really good with them.

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 8>And he used to sit when he come home to

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.719
<v Speaker 8>pick up Josh because I was pretending Josh. We'd sit

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 8>and talk for a long time. He would talk about

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 8>law school. I was interested in law school. He was

0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 8>very a stute, very good listener, and he was handsome

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 8>and he was endearing. And I remember myself, well, you think.

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 2>He's handsome, but because he looks like a demon to me.

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:36.679
<v Speaker 8>He didn't.

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 2>I've interviewed I believe every living victim of Ted Bundy's

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 2>and the stories they have told me on and off

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 2>air are blood curling. You do know he had sex

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 2>with a woman's skull, right, Oh?

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely, I do know all about him.

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, And you do know that after he would

0:19:56.560 --> 0:20:00.159
<v Speaker 2>kill the victims, he would bathe their bodies and do

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>their hair and put makeup on them. Yes, I do, okay,

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.639
<v Speaker 2>just making sure you knew that. Okay, tell me a

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:08.399
<v Speaker 2>bundee story.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 8>Well, he would take my son and josh swimming. He

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 8>went to law school at the University of Utah, and

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 8>they allowed them access to the Fort Douglas swimming pool.

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 8>And my son was I think he's six maybe as

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.440
<v Speaker 8>I was recalling it, and Joshua was about the same age,

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 8>and he'd take them swimming and they like going swimming.

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:31.879
<v Speaker 8>I mean, not everybody had a swimming pool back in

0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.080
<v Speaker 8>those days, and that was in like seventy four, and

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.680
<v Speaker 8>so they'd go and then one day my son came

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 8>home and he said, I don't want to go swimming

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 8>with Ted anymore. And of course I was kind of concerned,

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 8>thinking maybe Ted had touched him or been inappropriate with him,

0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 8>and I said, well why not, and he goes, well,

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 8>he keeps playing this game called Shark and he keeps

0:20:55.440 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 8>biting me. And as you know, that's how Ted was

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.879
<v Speaker 8>convicted based on his bike marks.

0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:05.640
<v Speaker 1>And so.

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 8>As I think about it now, it was totally surprising

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 8>because the boys loved going with him, and he was

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 8>always good with them, but had no idea my son

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:18.120
<v Speaker 8>was going to be an appetizer. And then there were

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.240
<v Speaker 8>times when he take him to the movies. That driving

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.399
<v Speaker 8>movies were big back then, and he took them to

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.400
<v Speaker 8>the movies and he'd leave and he'd tell the boys,

0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 8>I'm going to the snack bar, but I'll be back,

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 8>you know, you guys wait, and he wouldn't come back,

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 8>and so they'd get the movie, get over and they

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:36.359
<v Speaker 8>go out looking for him, and my son Larry said

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:41.280
<v Speaker 8>that he'd see that he saw Ted standing by the

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 8>women's restroom door watching the women leaving, and he thought

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 8>that he was just young, he was just little. He

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 8>couldn't understand why he wasn't at the snack bar getting candy,

0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 8>and so that was kind of concerning. And the other

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 8>thing that kind of bothered me, But I didn't give

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 8>it much thought because I babysat jaw His mom, who

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 8>Ted was living with, asked if I could tend Josh

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:11.920
<v Speaker 8>well her and Ted would go waterskiing, and I of

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 8>course say yes, and that was just fine. But she'd

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 8>sometimes call and say, oh, never mind, he didn't come

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 8>home last night, and we're not going and he takes

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 8>off sometimes and he doesn't come home for a while,

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 8>and she was speculating perhaps it was because he'd go

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 8>visit his mother or just do something that was normal,

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 8>you know, for him to do that sort of thing.

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.879
<v Speaker 8>And I didn't think a lot about it, I you know,

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 8>because I didn't give it a lot of thought. But

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 8>I do recall one time she had to work a

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 8>little bit later she asked me if I could bring

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:51.439
<v Speaker 8>Josh back home and Ted was there and drop him

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.160
<v Speaker 8>off because she's going to be later. So I did

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 8>take him home, and I remember knocking and knocking on

0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 8>the door. He didn't answer the door, and I thought,

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 8>I wonder if he's really home or not. And all

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 8>of a sudden I saw the He just peeked out

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 8>of the curtains, just a peeking, and then he opened

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 8>the door and it was pitch dark in the house.

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 8>And that was the first time I felt really uneasy.

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 8>Was I didn't feel good about how the house was

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 8>so dark and leaving Josh there. But Josh acted like,

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 8>you know, not a big deal, and that bothered me.

0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 8>And then later on Larry would say, that's my son,

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.440
<v Speaker 8>and he'd say, you know, sometimes when Ted would get

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 8>home after a weekend, he would want it to be

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 8>totally quiet. He didn't want any noise. The house was

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 8>just really, you know, kind of it wasn't all it

0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 8>was kind of dark, and he would want his food

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 8>delivered to his door, so Leslie would, that was the

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.719
<v Speaker 8>girl he was living with, would take the food to

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:57.080
<v Speaker 8>the door, the bedroom door where Ted was staying, as

0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 8>you leave it there, and he'd eat it. And he

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 8>was like that for a couple of days. So those

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:05.440
<v Speaker 8>were kind of strange things, you know, But honestly, there

0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 8>was nothing I could think about. There was one thing

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:12.159
<v Speaker 8>that was a little strange. My son got mad because

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.160
<v Speaker 8>he had to do some chores and so he ran

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:18.520
<v Speaker 8>away from home. He's six, maybe seven, and I couldn't

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:21.440
<v Speaker 8>find him, and Ted offered to help find him, and

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 8>Ted did find him and my son. You know, he

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 8>kind of got on my son about doing that, and

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 8>he took my son's bike. He had a little bike,

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:31.719
<v Speaker 8>and he took it out of his trunk of the car.

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:33.720
<v Speaker 8>And in a Volkswagen, the trunk is in the front,

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 8>and he walked around to let my son out of

0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 8>the car. But I remember my son said, oh, he

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 8>couldn't get out of the car by himself because the

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 8>door handle was missing. So I didn't know anything about

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 8>this kind of thing. I thought, well, you know, it

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 8>wasn't you know, not a big deal, I guess, But yeah,

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 8>he would remove the door handles so he viclins could

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 8>not escape.

0:24:56.880 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Two Day Back Crime Stories investigator reporter the ruses Ted Bundy. Well,

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 2>all of the serial killers used to snare their victims

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:15.119
<v Speaker 2>were very often very intricate. Ted Bundy would use a

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 2>fake sling or cast to approach women and act like

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 2>he was disabled because of the injury, then use that

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 2>cast or sling on them to quiet them. As you

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:36.400
<v Speaker 2>just heard from Francine Bardole in some of his earlier victims,

0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:41.920
<v Speaker 2>he would approach them in that VW. They got in,

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 2>but they couldn't get out. And that is exactly what

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.640
<v Speaker 2>her little son was describing.

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 11>It's so shocking to hear her describe that her son

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 11>was in a trap vehicle, a vehicle that Ted Bundy

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 11>used to trap his quarry and to keep them there.

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 11>I was thinking you were talking about Ted Bundy with

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 11>his arm in the sling. I was thinking of Janis Ott.

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:09.199
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.879
<v Speaker 11>He asked her to help him put you know, his

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:15.880
<v Speaker 11>wrapped on the top of the car, you know, because

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 11>he couldn't get it on top of the bug.

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:18.199
<v Speaker 10>And next thing you.

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:20.560
<v Speaker 11>Know, she was gone. He had his arm in a sling.

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:25.639
<v Speaker 11>He's crutches too, Nancy, and would just find any means

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:29.360
<v Speaker 11>necessary to get that person, the victim, in the car.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:31.920
<v Speaker 11>And once they were in the car, that was it.

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:32.639
<v Speaker 7>You know.

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:35.520
<v Speaker 11>It was the fact I got chill bumps when she

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.919
<v Speaker 11>said that the handle was missing on the inside. You know,

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 11>he oftentimes took the front seat, passenger seat out of

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 11>that bug to be able to control the victim. Even

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 11>more so, the whole idea is just shocking to me.

0:26:52.040 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 11>I can't imagine what she goes through thinking about her

0:26:55.000 --> 0:27:00.239
<v Speaker 11>son being in the physical location where victims spent their

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 11>last living moments.

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:04.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's right, Dave Matt. When police pulled him over

0:27:05.280 --> 0:27:10.640
<v Speaker 2>in Utah, they found handcuffs, ice pick, crowbar, garbage bags,

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 2>ski mask in the VW. He often drove a VW,

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:21.879
<v Speaker 2>modifying it in multiple ways to make it easier for

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 2>him to snare and murder his victims. Straight back out

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to Victoria Vesquez, Victoria, we're talking about real life serial killers.

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:38.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk about your book, which is really fantastic.

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Now your premise is about you, said Nicola. I wish

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>you hadn't said that, because when I read your book,

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I called her in my mind Nicola, and you gave

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 2>me a flashback to when I read every single Harry

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Potter book to the children when they were a little

0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:57.400
<v Speaker 2>out loud, and I thought it was Hermiani, and then

0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I found out it was Hermione. It ruined every thing. Okay,

0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 2>so you just said Nicola, Okay, go ahead, tell me

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 2>all about Nicola.

0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 14>First of all, it's not just you, Nancy. I have

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:15.240
<v Speaker 14>met many people who call her Nicola, So not just you.

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:21.360
<v Speaker 14>So Nicola is a elementary school teacher, kind of similar

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:24.959
<v Speaker 14>to me. I teach middle uh and high school. And

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 14>she lives in a very small town in upstate New York,

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:32.119
<v Speaker 14>a town where everybody knows everybody. Her father owns the

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:37.320
<v Speaker 14>hardware store. He's really loved in the community. Everybody trusts him.

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 14>And then one day a true crime show comes to

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 14>town called to Catch a Killer. And in this true

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 14>crime show, a woman who is a criminal defense attorney

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 14>turned reality TV show host. She is trying to catch

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 14>the Elegant Creek Ripper, who is the killer that terrorized

0:28:58.640 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 14>their small town for so long, and she's doing it

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.520
<v Speaker 14>with the assistance of her father, Tom Woods, who is

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:09.240
<v Speaker 14>a convicted serial killer on death row. And so they

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 14>managed to catch the Elegant Creek Ripper, who is Nikola's father,

0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 14>and that is where Nichola's problems begin. She is shunned

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 14>by her community, she has fired from her job, the

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.240
<v Speaker 14>bank is threatening to foreclose on her house. When she

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 14>receives an invitation to the Death Row Club, which is

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 14>a secret retreat for the adult children of serial killers.

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 14>And at first this seems like the solution to all

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 14>her problems. Finally she is going to be surrounded by

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 14>people just like her who can understand what she's going through.

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:39.920
<v Speaker 14>But then a stranger appears on their doorstep and a

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:43.040
<v Speaker 14>member goes missing, and they are left to wonder could

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 14>one of them be following in their family's footsteps.

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, wait a minute, wit a minute, a minute, because

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you made my mind go off to Murders Only in

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:55.440
<v Speaker 2>the Building, you know, with Martin Shore and Steve Martin

0:29:55.560 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 2>and Selena Gomez. Selena Gomez, as you know, kind of

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 2>like leads this podcast and they end up solving true crimes.

0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing. And I've had a lot of bonding time

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 2>with my son watching Murders Only in the Building. Okay, wait,

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 2>what does that say, you watch murders in only in

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the building. My daughter and I watch Dexter. Okay, I

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 2>need to rethink my children's program me in our home.

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:31.160
<v Speaker 2>But so that premise is, it's the adult daughter Nicola Fisher.

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Dad owns a hardware store, small community. A lot of

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 2>us can identify with that, and then he is added

0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 2>as a notorious serial killer. Then she gets hooked up

0:30:47.600 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 2>with a podcaster, tell me that part again.

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, so the podcaster is the one who ultimately is

0:30:56.160 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 14>responsible for her father's arrest, which is terrible because Nicola

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:02.760
<v Speaker 14>thought that this girl was her friend and they were

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 14>like working together, and then it turns out no, she

0:31:05.960 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 14>was actually after her dad. She suspected that Nikola's dad

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 14>was the killer all along. So Nicola feels betrayed. So yeah,

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 14>and then she gets this invitation and of course who

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 14>is at the retreat but this podcast or this true

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 14>crime host Greer, So she has to figure out if

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 14>she can trust Greer.

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Again or if they are enemies.

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 14>So you have a little bit of tension there too.

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Crime Stores with Nancy Grace.

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.880
<v Speaker 2>This is an amazingly intricate plot, but it just flows

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 2>so quickly. You just go from page to page because

0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 2>you want to know what happens. And I'm not going

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 2>to give away the end. But Chris mcdona joining us.

0:31:56.680 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Chris McDonough veteran homicide detective with over three one hundred

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>homicide investigations under his belt, working at and advocating for

0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 2>the Cold Case Foundation. He is the star this where

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I found him of the interview room on YouTube. Can

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>we talk about Joseph DiAngelo, the Golden State Killer, for

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 2>just one moment. First of all, listen to this.

0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:39.959
<v Speaker 18>Listened all your statements, each one of them, And I'm

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 18>really sorry everyone I've heard.

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:49.479
<v Speaker 4>My safety was shattered as a masked man DiAngelo, yielding

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:52.480
<v Speaker 4>a knife, told me he would kill me if I

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 4>didn't do what he demanded. As I lay helpless or

0:32:56.520 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 4>sat tied, gagged, blindfolded and naked in the cold December night,

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 4>waiting for what unthinkable act he would violate me with. Next,

0:33:07.560 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 4>he tormented me, and he told me over and over

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 4>again he would kill me, and I believed him. At

0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 4>three different times that night I thought I was going

0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 4>to die.

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:25.840
<v Speaker 2>That from our friends at ABC and KXTV, you know,

0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 2>no one within his circle suspected. The Golden State Killer

0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 2>was Joseph DiAngelo, a former cop, as I recall at

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Oxford PD and another PD. He was actually on the

0:33:38.080 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 2>police force, and he was so normal that when they

0:33:43.160 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 2>came to arrest him, as I recall, he went white.

0:33:45.760 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>I've got arrest in the oven. So the dichotomy of

0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the normal seat, the seeming normalcy that Victoria Vesquez is

0:33:56.960 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 2>describing when it's really a serial killer. Have you ever

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:06.680
<v Speaker 2>experienced that dichotomy.

0:34:07.440 --> 0:34:10.120
<v Speaker 13>Well, Nancy, this is why this is so fascinating, with

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 13>these types of personalities that are the doc was talking about.

0:34:14.080 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 13>There's so many compartments, but the first three are you know,

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 13>our private life, our secret life, and our public persona

0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:26.160
<v Speaker 13>that is projected. And I did an interview with Wessey

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 13>Allen Dodd in nineteen ninety two, who is on death row,

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:32.839
<v Speaker 13>and before the interview, he had sent me a letter

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 13>and I have that letter actually right behind me in

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 13>the you know, the shelf here. Long story short, it's

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:43.919
<v Speaker 13>Christmas Eve and he's writing me a letter about our

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 13>upcoming visit. And he signs off by saying happy Holidays.

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:52.360
<v Speaker 13>And this is a gentleman. You know, this is obviously

0:34:52.800 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 13>a monster. And that's what I love about Francine. I mean,

0:34:57.000 --> 0:34:59.839
<v Speaker 13>she just told us a story about, you know, having

0:34:59.840 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 13>a interaction with Ted Bundy. Yet that inspired her ultimately

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 13>become to become a very famous forensic scientist, which you

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:14.239
<v Speaker 13>know about her background. But that's who they have to

0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:18.000
<v Speaker 13>convince first, their families. They have to convince their friends

0:35:18.000 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 13>and their neighbors around them like chameleons, and that way

0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 13>they can blend in and do what they need to

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 13>do in that other compartment.

0:35:24.960 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Back to friend saying Bordaul, speaking of what you do

0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:35.880
<v Speaker 2>with your life after this incident, like your life after

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:42.919
<v Speaker 2>you realize you unwittingly let Ted Bundy be around your

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 2>baby with no idea. He was that cunning and that charming,

0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't just you he fooled. He fooled everybody

0:35:55.239 --> 0:36:01.240
<v Speaker 2>around him. Everyone, but you go on. You're with cold

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:04.680
<v Speaker 2>case solutions and resources, you're a DNA expert, you're a

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 2>crime scene investigator and a forensic specialist. Did that metamorphosis

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.240
<v Speaker 2>have anything to do with Buddy?

0:36:14.680 --> 0:36:18.360
<v Speaker 8>I think to some extent it did, because I remember

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 8>as I was growing up, you know, a serial killer

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 8>looked like a serial killer, you thought, and this is

0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:28.360
<v Speaker 8>not what Ted looked like. Not only that, but Utah

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.759
<v Speaker 8>is where he was at, is a Mormon community. It's

0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:34.600
<v Speaker 8>a Mormon state. And he got baptized in the Mormon church.

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:37.759
<v Speaker 8>That made him endearing. He also got involved with politics

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 8>that made him credible. He was going to law school.

0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:43.320
<v Speaker 8>I mean, there was all these things. And this is

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 8>what serial killers, I believe, do is they try to

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 8>fit in as best they can and look his benign

0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:53.320
<v Speaker 8>him as they possibly can. And I remember thinking about

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:57.759
<v Speaker 8>when this happened. It was very shocking to me because yeah,

0:36:57.640 --> 0:36:59.960
<v Speaker 8>when they broke the news that they had pulled him

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:03.759
<v Speaker 8>over in the Volkswagen and they said Theodore Bundy, I

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 8>didn't that didn't click with me. And I looked at

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.440
<v Speaker 8>the screen and I said, oh my god, that's Ted.

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:14.160
<v Speaker 8>Shocked me. Even Leslie shocked her. She got out real fast.

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 8>And then I got thinking about how are they going

0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 8>to catch him, What's going to happen. And as time

0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:22.400
<v Speaker 8>went on and I started learning about evidence, and I

0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 8>started learning about DNA, and I looked at some of

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:30.040
<v Speaker 8>the photographs from the Sorority ceilings. I thought, there is

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:33.839
<v Speaker 8>so much, so much evidence there that has such great

0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:36.880
<v Speaker 8>DNA on it. It's too bad DNA wasn't, you know,

0:37:37.120 --> 0:37:41.040
<v Speaker 8>around at the time. And because there there was just

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 8>so much stuff that you could have gotten things from.

0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 8>And I really became interested in. What I do is

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 8>I extract the biological material from items of evidence so

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 8>that it could be DNA tested, and I sent it

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:00.680
<v Speaker 8>off to forensic collabs to do that. My specialty is

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:04.200
<v Speaker 8>getting the DNA out and every item is so unique

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.719
<v Speaker 8>and it's really interesting. It's kind of like where I'm

0:38:06.760 --> 0:38:09.319
<v Speaker 8>going to focus on, and I like to look at

0:38:09.360 --> 0:38:12.560
<v Speaker 8>the pictures of the crime scene, and I can see

0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 8>at the crime scene, this would be a really great

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:17.320
<v Speaker 8>item of evidence. And as I looked at the pictures

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:21.920
<v Speaker 8>of DNA or of evidence from Ted Bundy's stuff, the way,

0:38:22.000 --> 0:38:25.440
<v Speaker 8>that was a gold mine. It really was, And that's

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:27.359
<v Speaker 8>I think it did. You know, I wanted to go

0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 8>to law school, but I kind of went a different

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:36.080
<v Speaker 8>way and got into working in the criminal justice system.

0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:38.799
<v Speaker 8>I've gone just about every way through the criminal justice

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:41.759
<v Speaker 8>system there is, and I ended up doing what I'm

0:38:41.800 --> 0:38:42.280
<v Speaker 8>doing now.

0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Friend, Saint Barnault, the Lord called you in a different direction,

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Thank goodness, Chris mcdonna. Was there any event in your

0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 2>life the way Vesquiez describes what happened to Nicola and

0:38:57.239 --> 0:39:01.239
<v Speaker 2>the Death Row Club that turned you toward becoming a

0:39:01.239 --> 0:39:02.240
<v Speaker 2>homicide detective?

0:39:04.360 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, Actually there was Nancy like you, not to the

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:13.399
<v Speaker 13>extreme that you've had to experience. But my then three

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:17.640
<v Speaker 13>year old son was almost kidnapped sidewalk out in front

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:20.279
<v Speaker 13>of our house, and I witnessed the door of that

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:24.560
<v Speaker 13>vehicle open and I chased after that suspect long story short,

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 13>I wasn't smart enough back then to get the license

0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:31.120
<v Speaker 13>plate of the vehicle. But I made a deal with God.

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:35.479
<v Speaker 13>I said, if you let me, you know, hunt these

0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 13>people down, I will do it for the rest of

0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:42.000
<v Speaker 13>my life. And here I am, forty four years later,

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:44.800
<v Speaker 13>still talking about predatorial behavior.

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, Chris mcdona, as long as I have known you,

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I did not know that about you.

0:39:52.239 --> 0:39:56.520
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, that was my foundation. That was nineteen eighty one

0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:04.319
<v Speaker 13>and eighty two when I've gotten law enfortunately, and.

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:09.799
<v Speaker 2>You're still doing it. You know, occasionally I get, you know,

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:15.279
<v Speaker 2>extremely weary with the crush of murder and mayhem and

0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:23.360
<v Speaker 2>just pure hate that many of our cases involve. But

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I remember what I get like that. I remember Keith

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 2>and those big blue eyes, my fiance that was murdered,

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like I can't quit. Victoria Usquez, your book,

0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:50.200
<v Speaker 2>at times lighthearted, The Death Row Club is really striking

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:57.879
<v Speaker 2>a chord, as you can see tonight. I hope that

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Nikola get on like McDonough, like Francine and so many

0:41:05.239 --> 0:41:11.239
<v Speaker 2>others to do amazing things. Translation, you got to write

0:41:11.239 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 2>a sequel, guys, if you haven't already read it. The

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:19.919
<v Speaker 2>Death Row Club it's amazing and for those of us

0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:25.200
<v Speaker 2>in our business, it hits on so many different levels.

0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 2>The Death Row Club by Victoria Vasquez, it's a psychological thriller,

0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:37.080
<v Speaker 2>and I mean that in the best sense. Thank you,

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Victoria and to my awesome and amazing panel. Tonight, we stop,

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:46.920
<v Speaker 2>as we always do, to remember an American hero Officer,

0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Dominic Francis Bluffton, PD, Ohio, killed in the line of

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.719
<v Speaker 2>duty after devoting nearly twenty years of his life to

0:41:55.040 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 2>protecting and serving, leaving behind wife Ricky and two children,

0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Blake and Taylor. American hero Officer Dominic Francis. Thank you

0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:09.000
<v Speaker 2>to our guests, but especially to you for being with

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:11.080
<v Speaker 2>us tonight. You see Grace signing off for tonight, but

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:14.359
<v Speaker 2>I'll see you tomorrow night, God willing, and until then,

0:42:15.000 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 2>good night for him.
