I'm Susan Peters 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:45.520 and this is Monster BTK. The murder of Shirley Vyanne 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.720 Ralford was one of the most unusual and tragic murders 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:54.560 committed by BTK, and that's because She wasn't even the 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.600 intended target. Vyanne was never supposed to interact with BTK 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:04.600 that terrible day in nineteen seventy seven. It was just 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:11.479 another unfortunate consequence of Dennis Raider's lunacy and poor planning. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.279 Vyanne was a young mother, just twenty four years old, 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:24.440 who was spending her days raising her three children, Bud, Stephanie, 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:25.400 and Steve. 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.320 I'm in trouble at it in the corner. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.320 This is Steve Ralford, son of Shirley Vyanne. You heard 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.800 him tell the harrowing story of witnessing his mother's murder 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.920 at the top of the episode. He said his mom 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:48.120 was strict, but that all of her children adored her. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:55.960 A gospel singer, Church mekays take share off for bag Giftea. 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.800 When I talked to you years ago, you told me 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.800 about a song your mama used to sing to you 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:04.680 before you went. 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:09.480 To bed, shout and teach, Loune Schatt and build cwn. 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:11.200 Yep. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.719 Didn't she sing a song too about tears on the pillow? 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.840 Or do you remember that song? 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.560 Yeah? I probably sing it to you, but I'm not 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:20.080 going to. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.039 Go ahead so we can hear the word will you 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.800 want to just tell us some of the words? 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:27.360 Yeah? 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:33.599 Sure?

Efford? 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.120 Do you remember any of that? 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:59.799 I changed my favorite SKay O b asked she'd always 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:00.880 feel Margie South. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:02.560 That's how. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.640 While Shirley was raising her children, Dennis Rader was planning 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.960 his next murder. It was nineteen seventy seven, and he 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:22.000 hadn't killed since Catherine Bright in nineteen seventy four. According 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.080 to the book Confession of a Serial Killer, he picked 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.160 March of that year for his next murder because. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.640 It relates to threes. It was the third month. It 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.760 was also spring break at WSU in work vacation. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:43.880 On March seventeenth, nineteen seventy seven, Saint Patrick's Day. Coincidentally, 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.400 Rader left his house. Here's an excerpt from the book 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.160 Buying Torture Kill, The Inside Story of BTK. 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.400 His primary target this day lived at twelve oh seven 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.960 South Greenswood. If that target didn't work out, just a 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.200 block to the east at twelve forty three South Hydraulic. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.960 There was an alley behind that address, a place to hide, 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.920 and if those targets didn't work out, he had another 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:16.080 backup and yet another. He stopped multiple women, switching surveillance 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:20.880 from one to another for weeks, taking notes, pondering escape routes. 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.000 His not theirs. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.800 Raider's main target at this address was a woman named 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:33.199 Cheryl Gilmore. He called her Project Blackout because he had 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:37.720 spied on her for weeks prior, drinking heavily at nearby bars. 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:42.120 Raider also discovered that Cheryl lived with two other women. 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.040 If Cheryl wasn't home, surely one of them would be 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:50.080 there instead. Here are Raiders' own words, quoted in the 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.959 book Confession of a Serial Killer. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.240 On that particular day, I drove to Dylan's and parked 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.440 in the parking lot and watched this particular residence. And 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.360 then I got out of the car and walked over 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.960 to the door. I knocked, but nobody answered. 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.080 No one was home. Raider got frustrated. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.440 I was all keyed up over not getting into that 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.160 house on PJ. Green, So I drove and then parked 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.120 and started going through the neighborhood. I had on my 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.960 James Bond jacket, a tweed jacket, and nice shoes. I 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.640 had enough projects I had been watching that if one 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.040 didn't work out, I could just go to another. But 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.840 while I was walking away from the intended house and 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.840 down hydraulic, I saw a young boy coming back from Dylan's. 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.120 I figured he had a mother in the house. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.120 That young boy was Steve Ralphord. His mother, Shirley, was 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.800 sick with the flume. She had sent him on an 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.880 errand to pick up some soup from the store. Dylan's 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.720 raider approached Steve on his way back home. 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.600 I had a picture in my wallet of my wife baby, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.120 so I used it to pretend I was looking for them. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.160 I asked if he had seen them. I knew he 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.440 wouldn't know them. He told me he didn't, but I 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:10.400 watched where he went. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:16.120 Next raider waited about fifteen minutes before approaching the door. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.560 Finally he knocked. 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.120 This boy opened the door with his brother. I told 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.720 them I was a private detective and showed them the picture. 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.240 I carried a blue briefcase large enough for my hit kit, 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:34.160 cord tape, plastic bags, a gun, but not too large 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.600 to be noticed when I carried it on the street, 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.319 like I was a salesman or a businessman. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.320 Steve was just a little boy, six years old. He 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.320 didn't know better, and even if he was older and 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.360 more prepared, he couldn't have predicted that this man was 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.000 a murderer. After Steve opened the door, he didn't really 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.760 respond to Raider's speech about being a detective. So Rader 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.400 forced his way through the doorway and brandished a gun. 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.360 Shirley heard the commotion from the other room and came 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:10.840 out to see what was going on. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.080 I told her I had a problem with the sexual 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.240 fantasies and I was going to tie her up. I 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.400 pulled down the blinds and turned off the TV. I 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:24.120 said I would tie up the kids first. I decided 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.280 to put the kids in the bathroom and shut the door. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.280 We put toys and blankets in there for them. She 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.360 told the kids to do whatever I said. I tied 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.720 the door shut, but the kids were still yelling. She 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.640 helped me to shove a bed against the door. Then 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.280 I proceeded to tie her up. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.240 First, Rader used electrical tape to bind her hands and feet. 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.400 Then he used cores and nylon stockings to tie up 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.360 her ankles and wrists even tighter, and he placed her 0:11:55.440 --> 0:12:00.679 face down on the mattress. All the while, steven siblings 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.640 were banging on the door and screaming. Raider threatened to 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:09.400 shoot them, so they quieted down, and then Shirley Vyanne 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.280 got sick and vomited on the floor. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.560 I think my being there had made her worse. She 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.800 was partially tied when I got her a glass of 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.959 water and comforted her a bit. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.280 After Rader finished tying up Shirley Vyanne, he pulled a 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.200 plastic bag around her head and began to strangle her 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:31.760 until she died. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.000 I used white plastic bags, garbage size that you could 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.720 buy in a roll. I like the ones in a box, 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.000 using plastic gloves, I folded them neatly and placed them 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.560 in another bag. That bag would go with me in 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.040 case it had fingerprints or material on it. 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.040 The room became more chaotic when suddenly the phone rang. 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.720 It startled Rader, and the kids started to scream and 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.720 bang on the door once again. Rader decided it was 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.880 time to go. He packed up his hit kit and 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.600 left the house. He didn't realize the kids had escaped 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.880 through the bathroom window and were running around the neighborhood 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:14.720 yelling out for help. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.680 The kids were able to get out. They broke out 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:26.520 the window and were able to escape. We worked with 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.480 the children as best we could. 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:34.000 This is former Wichita Police Chief Richard Lemonnion. He says 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.319 the Wichita Police Department was called by a neighbor who 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:42.440 found Steve and his siblings running around outside. When police arrived, 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.880 they questioned the children, but it was tough to get 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.440 much out of them. 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.360 One of the children I think was six or eight, 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.080 but he was intellectually challenged, and so we did work 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.200 with him to try to get some ideas. We did 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.120 get the fact that it was a white male. We 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:04.960 knew also he had a bag, which stands to reason 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.360 because he'd brings the tape, he brings the rope, he 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.880 brings the guns, he brings everything he needs the bags. 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:14.000 So we were able to establish that. We had specialists 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:18.000 work with the children, but again that was to no avail. 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:24.720 Lemunion says the kids were too stunned to formulate coherent recollections, 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:29.800 which is understandable given their age and the situation. Still, 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.000 it took investigators a while to figure out what happened, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.680 as Lemunion says, they discovered Vyanne's body, along with all 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.960 of the rope tape and one of the bags that 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:45.160 BTK left behind. They also found seamen at the crime 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:51.280 scene where the killer supposedly masturbated. Police immediately noticed the 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:57.120 similarities to previous BTK murders. Responding officer Raymond Fletcher was 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.800 quoted as saying, it looks like the same thing as 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:04.920 the O'to case. A few more officers reportedly also expressed 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.480 their suspicions at the crime scene, but according to the 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:13.600 book Buying Torture Kill, police were hesitant to officially connect 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:14.359 the crimes. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.880 Supervisors told them to stop guessing and work the evidence. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.520 If BTK had killed Shirley Vyanne, it meant he was 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.520 a serial killer, and the brass didn't want to leap 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.760 to that conclusion or set off a panic. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.680 Le Monnion says he had a hunch that was the 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.880 same person who killed the Otos, but ultimately he decided 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.200 not to release an official statement connecting the murders. He 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.360 didn't want to give BTK any incentive to kill again, 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.200 and he didn't want to create a frenzy. He says 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.880 his main objective following the Vane murder was to protect 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:55.160 the people of Wichita from further tragedy. 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.680 The big thing that weighs on you is the fact 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.720 that this is going to happen again. You know what's 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.680 going to happen again, and that's what frustrates you to 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.120 the point that what else can I do to protect 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.960 the community. It's not so much that I'm worried about 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.440 my children, because I can protect them, but it's the 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:20.880 other single moms. It's the other people that can't protect themselves. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.200 While investigators were busy in making sense of the Buyan murder, 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:32.359 Steve Ralford's life had been turned upside down. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:34.120 After that. 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:38.920 We went to Posha home and my grandparents. They had 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.920 to have a bunch shit. They come gays from okah huh, 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.200 and that's what in my fucking trouble. Well, he started 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:54.760 guarded smoking, shooting dope with Data nine, bringing age of six. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:59.880 I ain't I don't know, camera rebellious. You can give 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.479 shit about nothing or nobody. 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.920 When you went to your grandparents' house after the Foster home, 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.480 was there any kind of therapy or I. 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:15.359 Mean they try to give me therapy. I've become remillions. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:20.680 Like I said, I thank her My brother and sister, 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:25.040 they both and draw the yesesile of their life. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:26.639 Me. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:32.240 They said I was too fucking smart. What might be 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:32.719 a smart? 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:33.119 Ask me? 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:33.959 I'm not smart. 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:42.080 My heart breaks for Steve Ralford. Over the years, I've 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.200 gotten to know this man well and watch him try 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:50.119 over and over again to overcome the tragedy of his 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:54.360 mother's death. Yes, it spiraled him out and sent him 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.560 down a path of self destruction, but I've also watched 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.439 him heal and come to terms with the events of 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.920 his life. Steve has spent the last many years slowly 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.840 pulling himself up, and I'm just happy that I've gotten 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.000 to know him and to be alongside him in his 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:14.840 journey to recovery. 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:23.159 Nowadays, that family I had two kids, more about I 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.200 can't do shit. 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.160 And hard. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.520 The unfortunate reality is that Steve was just one of 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:44.520 many people whose lives would be destroyed by BTK. Because 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:49.439 Shirley Vanne was far from the last BTK victim. Only 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:54.119 months later, this time BTK would strike again. 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:03.399 Yeah, you will find a homicide forty three, Ny Fox, 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:11.520 I'm sybody to address. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:22.840 Shirley was killed in March of seventy seven, and in 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:27.080 December of seventy seven Nancy Fox. Nancy was killed. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:32.480 Raider had discovered Nancy Fox on another of his prowls 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.800 through the streets of Wichita. He would drive around and 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.320 scope out women that might make good targets. He was 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:43.040 still reeling from the high of the Shirley Vyanne murder, 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.840 and one day he discovered Nancy walking into her apartment 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.800 at eight forty three South Pershing. She was coming home 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:56.639 from her job at the nearby mall. Raiders spent weeks 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:00.639 following her to and from work. He determined that she 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:05.359 lived alone and would be the perfect project. On the 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:10.240 evening of December eighth, nineteen seventy seven, Raider left home, 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.359 telling his family that he'd be studying at the WSU library. 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:20.080 Around nine pm, Raider left the library and parked two 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.240 blocks down from Nancy's apartment building. He grabbed his hit 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.120 kit and walked up to her door. Here are Raider's 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:31.040 words from the book Confession of a Serial Killer. 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:36.080 I knocked first to see if anybody was home. I 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.919 had studied her work routines and knew she arrived at 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.879 a particular time. I just wanted to be sure. Nobody 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.720 answered the door, so I looked around, went around to 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.040 the back of the house and cut the phone lines. 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.359 I cut the window, broke in and waited in the kitchen. 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:01.960 Raider recalls seeing Christmas decorations throughout the apartment. She was 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:06.520 very clean and tidy, something he liked about her. He 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.600 waited and waited until finally. 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:15.040 She came in. She was startled. She asked what I 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.240 was doing there After, we confronted each other. I told 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.240 her I traveled a lot. I meant no real harm. 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:25.920 I had a sexual problem. I wanted sex. I would 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.560 tie her up and take a picture. She took her 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.160 park off. I believe it was white or cream colored. 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.280 As she laid her park it down, I began to smoke. 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.159 I sat on the couch and she sat on a 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.840 chair on the west side of the living room. She 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:41.600 was upset. 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.040 According to Rader, Nancy said something to the effect of, 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.200 let's get this over with so I can call the police. 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:51.480 That was a mistake. 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.159 She sealed her doom for sure when she told me 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.399 she would contact the police. I wore no mask or 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.320 anything to hide my face. I had to kill her. 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.679 At this point, Rader says Nancy asked to go to 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:09.399 the bathroom. He said yes, but instructed her to remove 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:14.320 her clothes. After she returned, he handcuffed her, bound her 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:16.600 feet at the ankles, and gagged her. 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.000 I got on top of her, and then I reached over, 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:24.040 took a belt, and then strangled her with it. That's 0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.440 all I needed with a victim in bondage. The act 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:32.359 of strangling brought gratification quickly along with a victim struggling. 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:35.959 This guy wanted to be in position. 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.560 I was like, God, he's going to determine whether or 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:40.160 not you're get to live when you got to die. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.640 He's going to play with these victims and torture these 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.960 victims psychologically and physically. 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:50.639 This is former FBI profiler John Douglas. He says that 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:54.240 the murder of Nancy Fox was a prime example of 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:59.840 Raider's peculiar mo because Raider didn't just strangle Nancy until 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:00.560 you died. 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.840 This guy wasn't killing him right away. He'd get him 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.200 to the point of death and then bring them back, 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:09.639 and then brings them back to the point of death. 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.840 Fox passed out. I had her come back, and I 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.720 whispered in her ear a little bit I told her 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:21.639 I was BTK, I was a bad guy. This was 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.399 the torture thing. You can visualize being tied up and 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:28.359 knowing that something's going to happen to you and you 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:33.879 can do nothing. That's my torture. What he was doing. 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.520 It was very similar to some other cases we've seen, 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.359 like this kind of torture where they'll strangle and you 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.399 can see marks on the throat where there's kind of 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:43.720 like skid marks. 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:44.680 And what it is. 0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:49.520 It's they're using ligature strangulation and then the ligature will 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:52.640 be released at the point where they're unconscious. They wait 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.919 for them to regain conscious, and then they put it 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:57.240 on their neck again, and so you see that there'd 0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:00.760 be several marks on the victim's throat. It's just for 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:04.040 the sake of again playing God's part of the torture. 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.960 The murder of Nancy Fox was also another example of 0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:14.680 Raider killing a woman in a sexual way without actually 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:18.639 having sex with them. He once again chose to masturbate 0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:22.479 rather than engage in penetrate of sex, and for someone 0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:26.000 like John Douglas, this was telling. 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:30.960 He was getting a sexual euphoria from the acts that 0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:35.200 he was doing and killing was part of that. Sexual 0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:36.320 penetration on. 0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:37.720 The victims was absent. 0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:43.320 He would stand over then and ejaculate onto the victims. Well, 0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.720 I would find out later on sexually penetrating or having 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:49.200 sex with him, that would be like cheating on his wife. 0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.240 This is the thinking of these people. 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:54.119 And I'd be cheating on my wife if I do that. 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:58.160 But if I masturbated the scene, I mean that's okay. 0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:00.919 The murder of Nancy Fox was all so yet another 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:05.359 example of Raider trying to deceive the victim. Remember he 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:08.879 told Nancy Fox some story that he was just passing through. 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.480 He had told Steve Ralford he was a private detective 0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:16.720 for Douglas. This was also a good indicator of the 0:25:16.760 --> 0:25:20.400 type of killer that Raider was him. 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:22.960 And another case is they'll come up with a story 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:26.399 to control them, to make them settle down. Don't worry, 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.000 I'm not going to hurt you. The story was he 0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.560 would go in there like he's escapee. He's committed a crime. 0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:36.040 I need your car, I need your food, and I'm 0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:39.159 not going to hurt you, and want some money. Then 0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.520 they will allow him. When you hear that, the emotion 0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.840 goes down and he starts binding him up and then 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:48.919
