• 1:50
  Speaker 7: Chris William Devin Howell has told people there's a monster
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: living inside him, and when you hear some of the
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: horrible things he's done, it's hard not to agree. The

  Speaker 7: bodies are piling up.

  Speaker 9: me to commit these crimes.
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: Crime Watch Daily speaks to the real life mind hunter
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: who got inside the head of the madman.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: He would confess and detail all of his crimes to me.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: And then we talked to the killer himself.
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: The fantasy was about just raping. I killed him to
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: try to cover up my crime.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: It's late summer when a hunter makes his way into
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: the central Connecticut woods. The bush and weeds are thick,
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: but there's an open patch just ahead and something has
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: been unearthed.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Hunter I was behind here looking for a place to
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: hunt and found the first skull.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: But not the last. When New Britain police arrive on scene,
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: they quickly uncover what appears to be a mass grave.
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Buried within the mutilated remains of three women.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: They were somebody's loved one.
• 3:21
  Speaker 11: They were somebody's daughter, somebody's sister.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: The first body to be identified is that of fifty
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: three year old Diane Cusack Jane Doe. Number two is
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: found to be another local girl, twenty three year old
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Javelin Martinez, just weeks away from her twenty fourth birthday
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: when she disappeared. The third and last of the remains
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: to be idd are those of forty year old mother
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: Mary Jane Menard. As it turns out, all three women
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: disappeared during the same six month time span, years before
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: a time Mary Jane Menard's daughter, Tiffany, will never forget
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: she was.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: The rock of the family.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Tiffany, just eighteen at the time, still relives those final
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: moments with her mom leaving.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: My house by say goodbye and we hugged and never
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: thought that it would be the last time I saw her.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: He had no idea, no idea the terror she would face.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: According to a witness, Mary Jane, Menard was last seen
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: getting into a quote black or blue van being driven
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: by a man named Bill. But that appears to be
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: as far as the investigation got, and for years the
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: case seems to live on only in the occasional article online.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: That's when local attorney turned true crime writer Anne Howard stumbles,
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: or rather clicks, her way into the story.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I was researching online about some cold case murders not
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: far from where I lived, and every time I researched,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: this story about bodies being found behind a strip mall
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: in New Britain, Connecticut kept coming up on my newsfeed.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: Anne can't help but wonder.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Who is this monster who has yet to be arrested
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: for the murders of these people being found behind a
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: suburban strip mall on a busy roadway, not far from
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: where I live, and I started a blog about it,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: and I started researching cold cases and unsolved murders. The
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: blog evolved into writing solely about this case.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: While digging into the story on her blog entitled serial
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Murders in Connecticut, hand starts to wonder if those three
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: bodies are the only bodies, Especially when another local crime
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: catches her eye.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I became quite intrigued.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: It's the disappearance of thirty three year old milsa Erismindi
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: from the neighboring town of Weathersfield, Connecticut, and it happened
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: during the exact same time period that the other three
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: women disappeared. But that's not the only similarity.
• 6:04
  Speaker 11: Her boyfriend told police that he last saw getting into
• 6:07
  Speaker 11: a van.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: A dark blue van to be precise. But unlike the
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: other women, Nils's case has been solved.
• 6:15
  Speaker 11: Information was developed with respect to a van matching the
• 6:18
  Speaker 11: description given by Nils's boyfriend. That van was registered to
• 6:23
  Speaker 11: Dorothy Holcombe. It was learned that miss Holcomb's boyfriend was
• 6:27
  Speaker 11: named William Devon.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Howell, and according to his girlfriend's parents, Hall had recently
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: purchased the van from them for four hundred dollars.
• 6:37
  Speaker 11: Processing the van revealed a bloodstain on the vertical back
• 6:40
  Speaker 11: cushion of the middle seat.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Of the van.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: Police send it to the State crime Lab for testing,
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: and when the results come.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Back, DNA of Aris Mendy was found in his van.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: William Howell is arrested in connection to Nils's disappearance. Even
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: though cops don't have a body. Howell takes a plea
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: deal for Man's law and gets fifteen years. But then
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: that was before police found those other bodies.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Red flags are all over it coming up. He would
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: duct tape their mouths so that no one would hear
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: them making any noises.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: A serial killer revealed, along with more victims, and later
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: what happened?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: What made you cross the line?
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: The predator speaks from behind bars, telling me why he's
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: unlike any who's come before.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: This may make me even more sinister, But.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Police have discovered one skull after another behind a Connecticut
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: strip mall, all the victims murdered.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: The prime suspect, a guy who ran a long cutting
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: business out of his van. William Howell, our nurse and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: night is back now with more.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: The mutilated bodies of three women are discovered buried in
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: the woods. Behind a strip mall in New Britain, Connecticut.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: At the same time, I'm a man by the name
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: of William Howell is serving out a prison sentence in
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: connection to the disappearance of thirty three year old Milsa Arizmendi.
• 8:08
  Speaker 12: The person we believed to be a suspect.
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: Howell is suddenly named as a suspect in the other murders.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: How did confess his crimes.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: Prosecutors say While in prison, Howell confessed to his cellmate
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: Jonathan Mills, and according to Mills, he tells him a
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: terrifying tale about his alter ego, the sick ripper who
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: picked up women in what he called his murdermobile and
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: buried them in the woods behind a mall. When cops
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: get word of this killer confession.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Additional human remains were located and recovered.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Tragically, investigators unearthed four more bodies that brings the body
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: count to seven, six women and one man.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: We knew that they were not just Jane does that
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: they were somebody's loved one.
• 8:58
  Speaker 11: They were somebody's daughter, somebody's sister.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: Soon the coroner identifies the additional victims as twenty nine
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: year old Melanie Ruth Camalini, forty four year old Danny
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Lee Wisnett, twenty six year old Marilyn Mendes Gonzalez, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: thirty three year old milsa Eris Mendi.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: The prosecutors had six out of seven DNA samples of
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: the victims in his van.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: William Devin Howell is charged with multiple capital felony murders.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: It's an unprecedented crime, giving him an unprecedented title.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: The most notorious serial killer in the state of Connecticut's history.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Then, in a stunning turn of events.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: William Howell decided that he didn't want a trial that
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: he was prepared to plead guilty.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: Howell admits to the savage murders in the back of
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: his murdermobile while he awaits sentencing, and Kay Howard, who's
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: been blogging about the case, reaches out to the murderer.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: And I told him I was interested in writing a
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: book about him, and, much to my surprise, two weeks later,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: William Devin Howell wrote back to me.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Over the next several months, the serial killer and the
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: attorney turned author exchanged numerous letters, which the killer gives
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: exclusively to Anne for her book.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I was introduced to a man that the public has
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: not seen in them.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: Howell describes his grisly killing spree that took the lives
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: of seven people in just six short months. And what's
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: significant about where we're standing right now.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: This is the location in the corner of the McDonald's
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: parking lot in New Britain where the serial killer William
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Devin Howell raped and strangled three of his victims.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Where we're standing.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, he would ductape their mounts so that no one
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: would hear them making any noises. He was careful to
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: park in remote enough locations. Even though he would be
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: in a park lot that had public access and perhaps
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: even had some cars parked, they were always, you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: at least fifty feet away.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: About Nilsa Erismendi, he writes, she wanted a ride into Hartford.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: I grabbed her, raped her throughout the night and into
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: the day. I killed her and threw her down the hill.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: It was at this location, Noissa, that he would drive
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: his van up.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: He would slide.
• 11:26
  Speaker 10: Open the side door, the body of each of his
• 11:30
  Speaker 10: victims would be wrapped in plastic trash begs, and then
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: very quickly thrown them over this steep embankment into the
• 11:41
  Speaker 10: ravine below.
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: Concerning How's first victim, Melody Camlini, he writes, I grabbed
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: her by the throat, I raised a hammer and told
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: her all I want is sex. If you don't give
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: me any trouble, you won't get hurt. But that wasn't true.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: He hits her with a hammer and strangles her to death.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: And that's not all.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: At the time, he was living in his van, so
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: he slept beside her body for two weeks.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: According to police affidavits, he nicknamed the corpse Baby. Then
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: he writes about Marilyn Gonzalez and how after raping her
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: through the night, he quote got us some fast food breakfast.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: It will be her final meal before Howell strangles her
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: to death. It's a strange ritual he admits to doing
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: with most of his victims, writing I'd go through the
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: Mickey Dee's dry through with a half naked, tied up
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: expletive in the back and told them if they made
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: a sound, it would be their last. None of them did.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: They are acts that can only be described as pure evil,
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: But as I was about to find out, the man
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: who committed them is not so easily defined.
• 12:55
  Speaker 9: I mean a committed monstrous and heinous crimes, but not
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: her care character isn't a monstrous in the heinous first.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: Coming up?
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: Everybody wants to know why?
• 13:06
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: Why? Why?
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: In his first national interview, Connecticut's most prolific serial killer
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: speaks from behind bars.
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: I chose to do what I did, and I just
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: chose not to care.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: William Howell is where he should be, rotting away in
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a prison cell for murdering seven people. Today, the serial
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: killer is talking to our nurisitit?
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: William Devin Howell admits to ending the lives of seven
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: people in his murder mobile and stashing their mutilated bodies
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: behind a busy strip mall. Now, in his first national
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: TV interview, we're talking to the man being called Connecticut's
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: most prolific serial killer.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Good morning, William, how are you? This is Nurse and
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I with Time Watch Dady.
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: I'm all right, how are you?
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I know you were reluctant to talk to the media
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: at first. What changed your mind?
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm still not really excited to talk to y'all
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: and I'd rather not be doing it at all. But
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: I did this as a favor to.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: Add Regardless of his reasons, we're talking it was an
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: opportunity I wasn't going to squander getting inside the mind
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: of the man who once called himself the sick Ripper.
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: Everybody wants to know why, why? Why? And the truth is,
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: I don't know why. You know what I mean. I
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: was raised by a good family in a good home.
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: I was never abused, I was never molested. I didn't
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: kill animals when I was a little kid or anything
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: like that. So I just don't fit the mold at
• 14:41
  Speaker 9: all that everybody tries to put serial killers in, you
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: know what I mean. So why I grew up to
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: commit these friends? I have no idea other than the
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: only thing I could say for my own selfish reasons.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: So then where did it all go wrong? How did
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: how all go from being happy kid to kill her?
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: I started screwing up my life.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: How did you start screwing up your life?
• 15:05
  Speaker 14: Well?
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: Through drinking? And I served half in the nineties in
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: jail or prison in Virginia, and it was all for
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: driving the car and got a license, and that instilled
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: a lot of dinnerness in me.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: And you know what I mean, And you were angry.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I was. I was angry inside.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: And that's when he says, the sick thoughts started creeping in.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: It was something that I had had fantasized about for
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: a few years.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: So you began fantasizing about killing people in Virginia in
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: the nineties.
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: I didn't start. I wasn't The fantasy wasn't about killing somebody.
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: I just I killed him to try to cover up
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: my crime, and the fantasy was about just raping them.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: What happened? What made you cross the line?
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: I don't know. I just decided to act on my impulses,
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: and you know, I'd been out drinking a little bit,
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: and I was pissed off at my uh at my
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: girlfriend at the time, and I don't know. It's just
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: something made me say, well, tonight's night, I'm gonna cross
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: the line. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make my
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: fantasy come true.
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: And once he crossed that line, he says, poorror became habits.
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: It's not like it was a thief that was driving
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: me to commit these crimes, as this may make me
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: even more sinister, but it was something that I chose
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: to do. I didn't have something driving me that I
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: couldn't control, you know what I mean, or anything like that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: And I chose. I chose to do what I did,
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: and I just chose not to care.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: But he says that was then, and that today he
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: does feel remorse for what he's done, for the pain
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: he's brought to his victim's loved ones.
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: I would hear him sobbing in the courtroom, and it
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: just tore me apart.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: You're so.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Concerned about the victim families. Now, you have a heart,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: as you should for the victims' families, their feelings and empathy. Now,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: how did you think about the family members of the
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: people who you killed on those nights and days.
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: I have no excuse, what can I say? I was selfish.
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm trying and be a good person. I try,
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: and you know, live my life within trek integrity, and
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: then I went and committed crimes that were the total
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: opposite of how I try and live and conduct myself.
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: I am very remorseful for my actions, and if I
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: could go back and take it all back, I would.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: If if I could give my life to bring theirs back,
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: I would.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: I was at house sentencing just a few weeks before
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: and caught up with a family friend of Mary Jane
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: Minar to ask what he thought of Howe's contrition. How
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: stood up and he addressed the victims' family. Sounded like
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: he meant what he said, but like I apologize and
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: sincerity about them.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: But what he did was like very bad.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I couldn't imagine like going through something like that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Do you feel sympathy for him?
• 17:56
  Speaker 15: No?
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: Not really.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: I wanted to choke him out.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Actually that day when we were in court, why did
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: you plead guilty?
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: Because I'm guilty. I didn't want to put the families
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: through it. I felt like, if I want to trial,
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: I would have been found guilty anyway, So why put
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: the families through it? And what put the taxpayers through it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: In fact, he says, if he had his way, he
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: would have gotten a lot worse than the three hundred
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: and sixty year sentence he received.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: I feel like the just sentence would have been the
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: death penalty.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: So you would rather have gotten lethal injection versus life
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: in prison.
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: You want to die, I would rather have the lethal
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: injection when I committed the crime, that was the sentence
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: I expected to serve.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: But Howe also admits that if he hadn't been caught,
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: his killing spree very well may have continued.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: Probably there would have probably been more victims.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: So then, did Hall have genuine remorse or is it
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: just that he'd been caught. I decided to ask him
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: some specifics about his victims, and that's when the tone
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: of our conversation suddenly shifted.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Do you remember the names of any of your victims?
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: I know where they all are.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to get into that, but the families
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: deserve to know, so I pushed on, So.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: When you hear the name Mary Jane Minard, do you
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: remember the person who it was that night?
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: I'm really tired of talking about this. I don't like
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: talking about it at all anyway. You know what I mean?
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: And you just you won't.
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: You won't let it go upset what I've wanted to
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: say about the subject if you can't find something else
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: to talk about, rather just in the conversation.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: And when I tried to press one more time, that's
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: exactly what he did.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: What about nothing?
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: I tell you, how many times do I have to say?
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: You know what I've done? As gans read the book.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: Unfortunately, our call ended before I got to ask one
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: crucial question. Did how six months kill Free really stop
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: with those seven unfortunate souls or are there others? Ann Howard,
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: the woman who literally wrote the book on Howe, believes
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: there could be.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: A detective has asked me to sit down with the
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: new written serial Killer Task Force and discuss the important
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: possibility that there may be more victims out there.
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: In fact, in a chilling new revelation, police are now
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: saying they've found several videotapes in the back of how
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: so called murdermobile which show other women who have yet
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: to be identified. Take a good look at these grainy screenshots.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: Investigators say they need your help putting names to these faces,
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: identifying whether or not they too fell victim to Connecticut's
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: most prolific serial.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Killer, William Howell. Is certainly a fascinating case. So to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: help us understand how a human being could commit such
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: heinous crimes, we've brought in top forensic psychologist doctor Luce Lessinger.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Lou thanks very much for being thanks.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Riss Hull has said that he had fantasies of raping
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: these women and only killed them to conceal his crimes,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: but in other interviews he said that he had actual
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: fantasies of killing women.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: What does that say about him?
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: Well, these murders are serial sexually motivated. To understand serial
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: sexual murder, the best way to do it is to
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: view it as an abnormal sexual arousal pattern, a paraphilia.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: And in these cases the violence is eroticized. There's a
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: fusion of sex and aggression, so that the aggressive act
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: itself is sexually arousing.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: He called his van the murdermobile.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: What does that say to you?
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Is that a trophy for him?
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: Well, I wouldn't say it's a trophy for him. And
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: the naming of his car is a little bit unusual,
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: But serial killers have an interesting connection with their vehicles.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: They use it for a lot of purposes. One thing
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: that's interesting is many serial killers drive excessively with their
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: cars because they're trolling for victims. They're looking for abduction spots,
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: and they're looking where they can dumb bodies. In some cases,
• 22:05
  Speaker 8: a serial killer will take the doorknobs off the inside
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: of his car so once the woman gets in, she
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: can't get out out.
• 22:11
  Speaker 15: Is a guy like.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Howell worn this way or did something horrendous happen to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: him that made him this way?
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: The best way to understand this is from a biopsychosocial perspective,
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: but with a heavy emphasis on neurobiology. An abnormal sexual
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: arousal pattern isn't something that's learned. It's not a result
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: of poor parenting or stressful events.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Is it the way he's wired?
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: Basically the way he's wired. It's unknown whether it's chemical, electrical, hormonal,
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: a combination of wall factors plus head injury plus horrible
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: psychosocial events. It takes a lot to create a serial
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: sexual murderer. That's why they're very rare. They've been in
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: every country, in every culture since pre modern time, and
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that they're increasing.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Dark but fascinating stuff. Doctor Lewis always appreciate your insight.

  Speaker 1: incredible story of survival with me. All is quiet at

  Speaker 1: for the.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Rest of the evening, son Kylie is playing video games,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: and daughter Sophia is climbing the stairs leading to her bedroom.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: But Sophia has no way of knowing that behind that
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: bedroom door, a drained stalker is lying in wait.
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: It was obsessed with her, and now under the.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Knife, a bottle of gasoline and a lighter, the love
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: sick miniac is about to plunge Sophia into a nightmare
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: on Prospect Street.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: He looks insane, Honestly, there's no other way to describe it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 14: Once he saw Sophia's face, he was angry.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: He has these really piercing blue eyes, but they looked
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: almost dead to me.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Sophia Putney Wilcox, a Gregaria seventeen year old high school senior,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: would miraculously survived to tell of her Harry ordeal in
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: that Chamber of horrors. So you come into your room
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: thinking nothing's wrong, and now fully recovered from the ghastly,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: life threatening injury she suffered. The brave teenager is reliving
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: with me only on Crimewatch Daily. What she thought would
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: be her last night alive?
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Did you think you would die? Yes, it didn't even
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: cross my mind that there was a possibility I would
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: make it out funny, stop, what are you doing?
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Until her night of terror. Sophia had always been a happy.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Fun girl, nice nice swagon swagon.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Even as a young child, and she was so pretty
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: that her mother, Kristen, kept a close eye out for
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: her safety.
• 25:53
  Speaker 15: I was probably overprotective in a lot of ways, and
• 25:57
  Speaker 15: I was really careful to have her raised in a
• 26:01
  Speaker 15: warm and loving environment.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: And it worked.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it did work. It's great kid. Yeah, she has
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: a great kid, that's for sure.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Kristen became even more vigilant when Sophia, at fourteen years old,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: got a crush on a high school classmate named Adam.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Shei guaja he was your.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Daughter's first love?
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, very first love.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Really, how did Adam strike you?
• 26:24
  Speaker 15: Adam has a real innocent face and her eyes was
• 26:27
  Speaker 15: very quiet and soft spoken, a little shy.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Mom says their relationship appeared to be very sweet and wholesome.
• 26:36
  Speaker 15: Sophia and Adam were going to church group activities. That
• 26:39
  Speaker 15: seemed like a really kind of wholesome situation.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Sophia says he was her first true love.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: He was just really attractive, charming, funny and.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: What did you like most about him?
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: When he started seeing him? I liked that he was
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: really mysterious. It was really hard for me to figure
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: him out. I'm normally really good at reading people, but
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: with him, it was different, and.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Sofia would begin to see a frightening other side of Adam.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: After they'd been dating for about six months.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: He'd do things from like just punching me in the face,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: to throwing things at me to choking me. One time
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: he locked me in a trunk, like he locked you in.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: A trunk of a car. Yeah, why did you put
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: up with it?
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: I put up with it because I didn't know any better.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Adam just continued to get more violent and abuse it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Did he injure you.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: Yes, multiple times. I'd get bruises all the time. He'd
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: hold razors to my throat and other various parts of
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: my body, so I'd have little scratch marks and stuff.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Sophia says Adam had also become extremely jealous, possessive, and controlling.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: I pushed everyone out of my life. It wasn't He
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: wasn't okay with me having friends, so I didn't really
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: have anyone to talk to.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Did he keep you from your parents?
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: He didn't even want me to hang out with my family.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: And he started to tell me, you know, you're not
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: going to get a job, You're not going to go
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: to college, You're not going to do all these things
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: because there could be guys there, you could talk to
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: other people whatever.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And Sophia was keeping the terrible abuse a dark secret.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Did you tell your mom about this?
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: No?
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: I was scared of what she would think. I didn't
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: want to disappoint her. I didn't. I was ashamed that
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: I was letting someone treat me poorly.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Sophia was also afraid that telling her mother might make
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Adam even more dangerous.
• 28:43
  Speaker 15: She knew that if I knew what was really going on,
• 28:45
  Speaker 15: I would have them break up, and she knew that
• 28:48
  Speaker 15: that would.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Send him off.
• 28:49
  Speaker 15: You know that he would he would go into attack mode.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And that's just what Adam did when Sophia finally dumped
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: him for cheating on her. And how did he responded?
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: That he would walk to my house, he'd cry, He'd
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: wait outside for me, He'd watch everything I was doing.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: He'd stalked me, and.
• 29:11
  Speaker 15: I found that he was looking in the windows.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: I became very concerned. He would sit outside my window
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: and text me everything that I was doing.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Then a crazed atom actually broke into the family's apartment
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: through Sophia's bedroom window, randishing a knife.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: It's the middle of winter. I was literally in a
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: T shirt and underwear. I wasn't even wearing socks, and
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: he was telling me to go outside with him, and
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: I knew I couldn't do that. I knew that if
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: I walked out with my knife wielding X in the
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: middle of winter, in the middle of the night, that
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't come back.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: He had kill y.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: How did you get him to leave.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: After hours of just trying to tell him that everything
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: was okay, that I promised I wouldn't call the cop.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: He left, but Sophia's mom did call the cops. Well
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: rested Adam on stalking in a soul charge. A judge
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: put him on four years probation and ordered him to
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: stay away from Sophia.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Did you think he would.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Solve the problem?
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 30:17
  Speaker 15: Unfortunately I didn't realize how sick he was.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Next Sophia's nightmare on Prospect Street, as Adam returns like
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Freddy Krueger with a knife and bottle of gasoline in
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: his hands and murder on his mom.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: He held the door close and he dumped out the gasoline,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: and then he lit it.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Sophia Putney Wilcox thought it was just like any other night.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: She got home, walked into her bedroom to relax, but
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: waiting for her under her comforter was.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: A man with a knife and evil intentions. Seventeen year
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: old Sophia Putney Wilcox thought she was finally safe from
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: her brutally violent and abusive ex boyfriend, Adam Shaguajah.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: Adam was arrested right outside my window.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: A judge had sentenced eighteen year old Shaguajah to four
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: years probation and ordered him to stay away from Sophia
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: after he'd relentlessly beaten, stalked, and threatened to kill his
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: former high school sweetheart. He was not supposed to see her, No,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: he was right, but an obsessed Adam would not be deterred.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: He went back to the same old tricks that he'd
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: used before.
• 31:33
  Speaker 15: He was trying to contact her right from the beginning.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: He texted me hundreds and hundreds of times, spanning my phone.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: He was just saying, I'm going to kill myself. I'm
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: going to kill you.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: And now Adam, rejected and enraged, is ready to make
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: good on that threat. He took a small water bottle,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: filled it with gasolene, also had a lighter with him.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I know his intention was to kill her.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Then, late one afternoon, when nobody is home, Adam slips
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: into Sophia's house through a door he knows is always
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: left unlocked.
• 32:13
  Speaker 14: Adam made his way up to Sophia's bedroom. He waited
• 32:17
  Speaker 14: there for upwards of three hours for her to get home.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: And once she does, his anger suddenly explodes into a
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: jealous rage.
• 32:27
  Speaker 14: A young man brings Sophia home.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: He said he heard a male voice that's what set
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: him off.
• 32:33
  Speaker 14: Yeah, she was with another young man.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: The other young man leaves and Sophia hangs out with mom, Kristen,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: and younger brother Kylie before walking up the stairs to
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: go to her bedroom on the second floor. Behind the door,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Adam is now hiding under a blanket on the bedroom floor,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: waiting for Sophia to walk in.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: After I close the door, he popped up.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Sophia relives her terror in the very room where she
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: stared death in the face.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: What does he do? He is looking at me crazy
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: and I tried to tell you know, you can leave.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: It's not too late. Nobody has to know. We can
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: talk about things, we can work it out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: What a crazed Adam pulls out a knife.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: I asked him. I said, Adam, are you going to
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: kill me? And he cut me across the chest and
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: he said yes.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Then he presses the knife to Sophia's neck. He must
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: have been fined out of your mind.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just kept thinking this is it? What happened next?
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: I was crying. I collapsed to the floor. My mom
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: and my brother were downstairs and I heard this thud
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: and Sophie cry out.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Kristen runs to her daughter's.
• 33:48
  Speaker 15: Bedroom, and I grabbed the doorknob and I said, let
• 33:50
  Speaker 15: me answer what.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Adams pressed his body against the door to keep it closed.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Your mom's trying to get in, touring this door. He's
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: holding a shut what's going through?
• 34:00
  Speaker 15: This?
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: Is it? I remember I told my mom that I
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: loved her. I thought it was going to be the
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: last time.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Now, Adam grabs the bottle of gasoline he brought.
• 34:10
  Speaker 14: With them and ported all around himself as he stood
• 34:13
  Speaker 14: there by the door, and then let himself on fire.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Flames burst it everywhere.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Sophia's mother finally manages to push open the bedroom door.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: It just was a wah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 15: It was like all the way up to the ceiling
• 34:28
  Speaker 15: of flames, and I couldn't see into the room.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: So she starts yelling for my little brother. Kylie comes
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: up the.
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: Stairs with a baseball bat because he's in protective mode already.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Can he jump through the flames? All I can remember
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: is just hitting there.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Adam pulls Sophia in front of him as a human shield.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Kylie just yelled, I'm going to kill you. I'm going
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: to kill you.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: But Kylie is barely able to see through the smoke.
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: Unfortunately, he missed Adam on one of the swings and
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: struck Sofia right in the head.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Did you realize you had hit Sophie?
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: I think so.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Look I get it, and in the mayhem Kylie he
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: chases Adam away. He's the reason Sophie's here. I think
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Adam was ready to kill her, and only Kylie's intervention
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: is the reason that she's still crown. And the banged
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: up ex boyfriend makes a dramatic escape, and so Adam
• 35:20

• 35:24

  Speaker 6: him in us.

  Speaker 2: You can hear a bleeding and critically injured Sophia crying
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: in the background.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Idea, have something you can put on your daughter's head,
