Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Inside the Criminal Mind podcast where we analyze some of the most notorious
- 0:13criminal cases with psychology and criminology combined. Here's your host, doctor Carlos,
- 0:30where a Downey man has been arrested for as serial killings of sex workers in
- 0:36Mexico. So it looks like we have a suspected serial killer in Downey.
- 0:41Mostly a lot of serial killers will target sex workers are termed today it used
- 0:46to be termed as prostitutes in case you're not familiar with the new term.
- 0:50Mexican authorities are expected to seek extradition of suspect Brian Rivera, who's thirty.
- 0:55He was believed to be responsible for the deaths of three sex workers in Tijuana.
- 0:59They were all found dead in hotel rooms last year and arrestmoreant outlines details
- 1:03the victim, he known sex worker, was found dead of strangulation in a
- 1:07hotel next to the Hong Kong Gentleman's Club after allegedly checking into the room the
- 1:11night before with a suspect that identified as Rivera. The Mexican authorities have compared
- 1:17the murders who that was by notorious serial killer the subject that's criminal tendency is
- 1:21associated with violent and psychopathic behaviors. You can tell strangulation means it's more violent.
- 1:26Is there's something personal there? So either he hated their profession, hated
- 1:29women, whatever it was, there was a level of hatred there. The
- 1:34suspect's sister told dy witness Knews she found it hard to believe her brother could
- 1:38have committed these crimes. This is very common, especially if he's a psychopath,
- 1:42which my leaning could be there. I don't know. I don't have
- 1:45enough information here, but it's possible, she said he would. I would
- 1:49have never thought he would commit a crime of any sort. He's pretty much
- 1:53a nice guy's reserved and quiet. He remains in Cussoy while Mexico files it's
- 1:59expedition expected extradition request. So, however, as you dig a little deeper,
- 2:07you find some interesting things. The California mnan accused of killing these three
- 2:10women had an unusual relationship with his mother. In fact, he would have
- 2:15often sleep with her in the same bed. Brand Ryan Rivera is arrested at
- 2:19his parents home. The La County man has only been charged into connection to
- 2:23one murder, but faces three counts because of a similar patterns that he had
- 2:28in each one. Of those. The Attorney General Baja Mexico described him as
- 2:34a serial killer, which is obviously possible if all three are connected, and
- 2:37maybe they caught him before you get any further, or maybe there's other victims
- 2:39unfortunately out there. Rivera's parents that there in disbelief over their son's arrest.
- 2:46It takes ours to our doctor's appointments, to the supermarket. They don't realize
- 2:50if he is a psychopath, that's can be normal. Psychopaths tend to be
- 2:54charming, manipulative. They have no empathy or very little empathy, depending who
- 3:00you're talking to. Now they've changed. Everything's on a degree anyway. They
- 3:04lack typically lack commitment issues. They'll have commitment issues either relationships or employment.
- 3:12They'll tend to be going from one job to another. They also lack emotions.
- 3:17They tend to be callous, unemotional. We're not getting that. So
- 3:23I'm not sure if he got something else for taking them to the doctor's appointments
- 3:28or supermarket, if that was in regards to the trade for living there or
- 3:30food. I don't know. He may not be a psychopath. He could
- 3:35be what subwhat term a sociopath. There's a debate for that, which means
- 3:38he has a little bit more empathy. He's a little bit more of a
- 3:39degree there to that. We don't have enough information to diagnose either one of
- 3:44them. Rivera allegedly again met the women at the Hong Kong Hong Kong Gentleman's
- 3:49Club, a popular strip club in Tijuana, before I'm brutally murdering them.
- 3:53One of the victims was twenty years old who worked at the bar for about
- 3:55five months and was killed in the room. There are security footages shows Rivera
- 4:01heading to a hotel room with a room with a woman he's accused of killing.
- 4:05On the night of the murder, the victim texted her mother that she
- 4:09was accompanied a client to a room in Hotel Cascados for thirty minutes. Security
- 4:13cameras caught a man and Flora's together before entering the room. According to the
- 4:15criminal complaint, three employees at the bar described the man as having an acne,
- 4:19scarred face and a mole on the left side of his nose. When
- 4:21she did not return, her boyfriend went to the bar to look for and
- 4:26a colleague said she had seen Flora's with a male client with a light brown
- 4:30complexion. The woman added she knew the victim's client as Bryant Rivera, that
- 4:33he was a good ingo. Flora's mother and boyfriend rented the reception for answers
- 4:39when they discovered that a woman had been found dead in room four h four.
- 4:42The next day, Rivera returned to the US by foot, passing through
- 4:45the sanduel See Little port of entry. Just three weeks later, Rivera allegedly
- 4:48murdered another dancer he met at the Hong Kong Gentleman's Club as well, Elizabeth
- 4:53Martina Segato. She was found dead on Valentine's Day with an American, Allegedly
- 4:59Rivera heard ball. It was found in February seventeenth in the back of an
- 5:00abandoned truck with obvious signs of violence. Now is this where we look at
- 5:06a organized killer? So now he's trying to hide the body. He's quite
- 5:10aware of what he's doing. The violence. They didn't really get into details.
- 5:14We would have helped a little bit, But what they did find was
- 5:17she was thought to be a regular client of Rivera, though, and it
- 5:20was allegedly strangled and beaten to death. So again very personal, very angry,
- 5:25not sure why what triggered him. We'll find out once they started interrogating
- 5:30him. Her body was found days later. This is another one stuffed in
- 5:34a trash ben for more than a year. The victams families grieved their loss
- 5:40by the suspect evaded custody. The US understands the Mexico man additional charges when
- 5:44it submits the formal request. So there it is, folks, we have
- 5:49a serial killer. We'll learn more about his behaviors and his analysis or the
- 5:54analysis of it, and see what's going on with this case. If I
- 5:58get any more details over the course of the weeks, will break it down
- 6:00some more.
