  Speaker 1: Haddn't Clark may not enjoy the same level of notoriety
• 0:03
  as Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Darmer. Yet this serial killer,
• 0:07
  who confessed to drinking the blood of his victims, created
• 0:11
  caricatures of them and revealed his crimes to a cellmate
• 0:15
  he believed resembled Jesus, exhibits a comparable level of horror.
• 0:21
  While incarcerated for murder, Clarke disclosed his transgressions to his cellmate,
• 0:27
  a long haired, bearded individual whom he perceived as Jesus.
• 0:32
  Jack Truett. The cellmate listened intently as Clark recounted the
• 0:37
  gruesome details of how he murdered a young girl clad
• 0:42
  in a pink bathing suit, consumed her blood, and even
• 0:45
  partook of a small portion of her flesh before concealing
• 0:50
  her remains in the woods. Clark confessed to Truet that
• 0:54
  he was aware of the location where he had buried
• 0:57
  six year old Michele d'ahre, and in two thousand, he
• 1:01
  guided law enforcement to her remains. The new docuseries from
• 1:05
  Investigation Discovery, titled Born Evil, The Serial Killer and the Savior,
• 1:13
  now available for streaming on HBO Max, explores Clark's disturbing history,
• 1:19
  his heinous acts, and his startling admissions. Although Hadden Clark
• 1:24
  may not be a household name, the chilling nature of
• 1:27
  his crimes is undeniably as appalling as those committed by
• 1:32
  Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer. Throughout the years, he has
• 1:37
  admitted to the murders of several individuals. However, only two
• 1:41
  of these victims have been officially verified. Clark took the
• 1:45
  life of Michelle on May thirty first, nineteen eighty six. Subsequently,
• 1:51
  on October eighteenth, nineteen ninety two, he murdered twenty three
• 1:56
  year old Harvard graduate Laura Houteling. It took a considerable
• 2:01
  amount of time for Clark, who has been diagnosed with
• 2:04
  paranoid schizophrenia, to come forward with his confessions. Initially, he
• 2:10
  expressed his condolences to Laura's family, for whom he had
• 2:14
  worked as a gardener, by sending them a sympathy card.
• 2:19
  When he was ultimately apprehended and interrogated, he maintained that
• 2:23
  his alter ego, a persona he refers to as christin Bluefin,
• 2:28
  was the one accountable for the murders. The series also
• 2:32
  delves into Clark's troubled upbringing, detailing his claims that his
• 2:37
  mother compelled him to wear feminine attire as a form
• 2:41
  of punishment, his father's involvement in a homicide, and his
• 2:46
  disturbing pastime of killing and dissecting animals. As an adult,
• 2:51
  he pursued studies at the Culinary Institute of America and
• 2:55
  was discovered consuming beef blood. This was merely the beginning
• 3:00
  the murder of Laura Houtling. When Laura Hautling's colleagues reported
• 3:06
  her absence from work, her brother observed that their family gardener, Clark,
• 3:11
  had been unusually silent throughout the day. He informed the authorities,
• 3:15
  who promptly brought Clark in for interrogation. During questioning, Clark
• 3:21
  presented an alibi for the evening of her disappearance and
• 3:24
  became emotionally distressed. A few days later, he sent a
• 3:29
  disturbing sympathy card to Laura's brother and their mother, Penny,
• 3:33
  as reported by The Washingtonian in nineteen ninety four, Please
• 3:38
  give me a call when you are ready to resume gardening,
• 3:41
  Clark wrote in the card. I can also bring you
• 3:44
  bagels on Friday, he added, referencing his employment at a
• 3:48
  local bagel shop. Clark was subsequently identified as a suspect
• 3:53
  after investigators discovered a bloody fingerprint on Laura's pillow case,
• 3:58
  which had been located in the woods. According to police reports,
• 4:02
  he had suffocated her with a pillow in her bedroom,
• 4:06
  stabbed her, and then severed one of her ear lobes
• 4:09
  to dispose of her earring. In court, he confessed to
• 4:13
  having suffocated Laura while donning a wig and wearing Penny's
• 4:18
  clothing at the time of the crime. Clark entered a
• 4:21
  plea of guilty to second degree murder and received a
• 4:25
  sentence of thirty years in prison. While incarcerated for Laura's murder,
• 4:31
  he began to divulge details to his cellmate regarding Michelle.
• 4:36
  The murder of six year old Michelle d'Or. Michelle d'aor
• 4:40
  disappeared from her backyard at the tender age of six
• 4:44
  on May thirty first, nineteen eighty six. She was last
• 4:48
  seen wearing a pink and white polka dot bathing suit
• 4:52
  as she walked towards an inflatable pool. According to her father.
• 4:56
  At that time, Clark resided with his brother in Silver Spring,
• 5:02
  just two houses away from Michelle's home with her father.
• 5:07
  It was not until two thousand, following Clark's confession to Truet,
• 5:12
  that Michelle's remains were discovered. Her shallow grave was located
• 5:17
  in a nearby park. Clark had inflicted fatal wounds on
• 5:20
  her throat with a knife, subsequently consuming some of her
• 5:24
  blood and a portion of her flesh while she remained
• 5:28
  in her pink bathing suit. Soulless individual who blamed his
• 5:33
  actions on his female alter ego. In the late nineteen nineties,
• 5:38
  now retired FBI special agent lou Luciano began conducting lengthy
• 5:44
  interrogations with Clark at the Western Correctional Institute. Luciano sat
• 5:50
  down for interviews in the docuseries, where he recalled Clark
• 5:54
  as pure evil. You're dealing with multiple personalities, a guy
• 5:59
  eating moldy pork patties, Luciano told Rolling Stone. He's a killer.
• 6:05
  He's a soulless individual. Behind those eyes, there is nothing,
• 6:10
  and he was the guy holding all the cards.
