The Most Ruthless Killers Ever Caught _ The Greatest Crimes of All Time(M4A_128K) · NO FILTER

0:01
Speaker 1: At first sight they are respectable citizens, but in reality
0:07
Speaker 1: people with dark impulses and savage killers.
0:13
Speaker 2: They live apparently normal lives.
0:17
Speaker 1: In the US, the Milwaukee Monster puts his victims in
0:21
Speaker 1: the freezer and submerges them in acid.
0:25
Speaker 3: The measure says he what stinks in your primanly so
0:28
Speaker 3: while my fish dive.
0:30
Speaker 1: In Russia, investigators find seventy bodies in a river and
0:35
Speaker 1: don't know who is behind it.
0:38
Speaker 4: If you don't have the identities of the victims, there's
0:42
Speaker 4: no place to stirb.
0:45
Speaker 1: In Germany, a daughter discovers after her father's death he
0:49
Speaker 1: was a serial killer.
0:53
Speaker 5: You almost have to narrow your focuses and try not
0:55
Speaker 5: to torture yourself over the things that you'll probably never
0:58
Speaker 5: get answers.
0:58
Speaker 1: To how are psychopathic serial killers hunted down? Investigators are
1:05
Speaker 1: put to the ultimate test, for these are among the
1:08
Speaker 1: most ruthless criminals in the world. Russia. Bitsevsky Park on
1:31
Speaker 1: the south side of Moscow, twenty two square kilometers in
1:35
Speaker 1: area intended as a place for people to relax. They
1:39
Speaker 1: come here to play chess, to picnic, or simply to
1:43
Speaker 1: enjoy a walk. But a killer is on the loose.
1:48
Speaker 6: Vissevsky Park is his place to commit crimes and his refuge. Earlier,
1:53
Speaker 6: he had always played chess there with his grandfather. It
1:56
Speaker 6: was a source of positive energy and where he starts
2:00
Speaker 6: to kill people. It became a place where he was
2:02
Speaker 6: the master.
2:04
Speaker 1: A frightening development. Between two thousand and five and two
2:08
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, people regularly find dead bodies in Bitzevsky Park,
2:13
Speaker 1: around forty all male, almost all homeless, alcoholics, socially deprived.
2:19
Speaker 5: The police aren't doing the best of their job, at
2:22
Speaker 5: least in the beginning phases. Before they realize it's a serial.
2:25
Speaker 5: You find that the crimes is aren't really properly done
2:27
Speaker 5: because of who the victim is.
2:29
Speaker 2: These were people maybe that society didn't consider very worth one.
2:34
Speaker 1: In October of two thousand and five, another murder is
2:38
Speaker 1: committed in Bitsevsky Park. The police finally have to react.
2:42
Speaker 1: A special homicide unit is formed. At the crime scene,
2:47
Speaker 1: Detective Andrei Supronenko finds hidden in the bushes a dead man,
2:52
Speaker 1: Nikolai Vorobyev, brutally murdered.
3:01
Speaker 7: No one who saw him will ever forget how he
3:03
Speaker 7: looked like a schnitzel beaten with a hammer. We imagine
3:10
Speaker 7: several possibilities. Someone must have been very angry, a psychotic man,
3:17
Speaker 7: or a woman. We also discovered that the killer had
3:22
Speaker 7: been very careful. He left no evidence. He took everything
3:27
Speaker 7: with him that he touched at the crime scene.
3:31
Speaker 1: The autopsy reveals the man was most likely hit with
3:35
Speaker 1: a hammer. Supernenko searches for the weapon in the park
3:39
Speaker 1: to no avail.
3:42
Speaker 4: Hammers are rarely used in homicide cases. It's a very
3:47
Speaker 4: up close and personal weapon.
3:49
Speaker 2: In a way.
3:50
Speaker 5: He tells me he wants us to be over very
3:52
Speaker 5: rather quickly. So it's not about the killing, Its just
3:55
Speaker 5: literally about the number.
3:57
Speaker 1: The investigator's first destination a psychiatric sanatorium near the park.
4:06
Speaker 1: Perhaps one of its patients is the killer they're searching for.
4:14
Speaker 7: We checked out the people being treated for psychiatric problems
4:17
Speaker 7: in this hospital. We looked at what kind of patients
4:22
Speaker 7: were here, what diagnosises, and what profiles they had. We
4:29
Speaker 7: checked if they could leave the hospital property, if they
4:32
Speaker 7: could disappear for a night or longer. We found no
4:36
Speaker 7: evidence of that, so we closed this avenue of the investigation.
4:45
Speaker 1: The investigation hits a dead end. No evidence of the
4:49
Speaker 1: crime scene, no motive, no weapon, Supronenko takes action and
4:58
Speaker 1: combs the entire park with two hundred police officers. They
5:03
Speaker 1: question all passers by. In the process, Supronenko discovers a
5:10
Speaker 1: suspicious person. He seems nervous, perhaps in part because police
5:16
Speaker 1: are there.
5:21
Speaker 7: While searching the area, we discovered a man wearing women's clothing.
5:26
Speaker 7: He ran from the police, which immediately made him suspicious.
5:30
Speaker 7: He was in the part of the woods where the
5:32
Speaker 7: killer had last struck. We even found a hammer in
5:37
Speaker 7: his bag. Naturally, we checked him out right away, but
5:42
Speaker 7: he had an alibi, so we had to let him
5:45
Speaker 7: go on.
5:50
Speaker 1: The real killer continues to creep around the park and
5:57
Speaker 1: even feels provoked by the false arrest.
6:04
Speaker 4: He says, well, I'm going to show you that the
6:07
Speaker 4: guy you have in custody is nat your guy.
6:10
Speaker 2: He was furious, He was outraged. These were his killings
6:15
Speaker 2: and he wanted the credit, and as a result, he
6:18
Speaker 2: redoubled his efforts. He killed more people and kept on
6:22
Speaker 2: killing to show the police that they were wrong.
6:27
Speaker 1: In April of two thousand and six, he strikes again.
6:31
Speaker 1: Inspector Supernenko heads to the crime scene. The victim lies
6:36
Speaker 1: hidden in the bushes among the trees. This time, it's
6:39
Speaker 1: a woman, branches are stuck in her head.
6:43
Speaker 2: Insertion of objects into the body may well suggest to
6:50
Speaker 2: some a sexual component.
6:52
Speaker 8: It's typical that as a serial killer goes on that
6:56
Speaker 8: the crimes increase in severity, so there's maybe more sadism,
7:00
Speaker 8: and so you do see an escalation of severity of
7:04
Speaker 8: crimes over time, as we see in this case.
7:07
Speaker 1: But this time the detective makes a crucial discovery in
7:11
Speaker 1: the pocket of the victim's pants.
7:17
Speaker 7: When searching her clothes, we found a subway ticket that
7:21
Speaker 7: showed us which subway station she had used and the
7:25
Speaker 7: precise time of her arrivals.
7:27
Speaker 1: Sir, the subway ticket is a long awaited clue. Will
7:32
Speaker 1: it actually lead to the perpetrator? The ticket tells investigators
7:40
Speaker 1: at which station the victim entered and exited the subway.
7:45
Speaker 1: Andrei Supernenko reviews the security camera videos from the day
7:49
Speaker 1: of the murder and gets lucky. The woman appears accompanied
7:57
Speaker 1: by a man. Is he her killer?
8:01
Speaker 9: Can I say this?
8:02
Speaker 7: The day after we found the body, her son contacted
8:05
Speaker 7: the police and reported his mother missing. At the same
8:09
Speaker 7: time we were reviewing the security camera videos and saw
8:12
Speaker 7: missus Moskalayova leave the station.
8:14
Speaker 9: With a man.
8:17
Speaker 7: They went in the direction of Bitzevsky Park. The mother
8:22
Speaker 7: had left her son a message with a number and
8:24
Speaker 7: the name of the man with whom she intended to
8:26
Speaker 7: go for a walk.
8:29
Speaker 1: Petushkin, but who is this man? Pechushkin was born on
8:36
Speaker 1: April ninth, nineteen seventy four. He grows up with his
8:43
Speaker 1: mother and sister on Herzunskaya Street in a typical Soviet
8:49
Speaker 1: era apartment block near Bitsevsky Park. His childhood is marked
8:59
Speaker 1: by hy poverty. His father really home. As a small child,
9:06
Speaker 1: Petchushkin has a bad fall with serious consequences that.
9:12
Speaker 2: He had an accent in his childhood when he fell
9:15
Speaker 2: off a swing, and it's believed that that gave him
9:17
Speaker 2: some brain damage to the front of his head, and
9:21
Speaker 2: these are the part of the brain that control emotions
9:25
Speaker 2: and aggression and behavior.
9:27
Speaker 8: Eighty to ninety percent of serial killers and about the
9:30
Speaker 8: same rate of general murderers had some sort of brain trauma,
9:34
Speaker 8: and so there's a huge correlation between brain tama or
9:38
Speaker 8: brain damage to some extent and going on to later
9:41
Speaker 8: kill people.
9:42
Speaker 1: In adulthood, Petushkin's grandfather takes care of him and teaches
9:47
Speaker 1: him to play chess.
9:51
Speaker 6: His grandpa taught him chess. He was good at it,
9:54
Speaker 6: so Petchushkin nearly always won, and each victory held to
10:00
Speaker 6: overcome his inner aggression. As long as his grandpa was
10:05
Speaker 6: alive and regularly played chess with him, his aggressive outbursts
10:10
Speaker 6: were almost neutralized.
10:14
Speaker 1: But then his grandfather dies and Petushkin's outbursts intensify. In
10:19
Speaker 1: June of two thousand and six, investigators discover his address.
10:24
Speaker 1: They place his apartment under observation and ultimately arrest him.
10:29
Speaker 1: Inspector Supermenko interrogates him, but the suspect keeps silent. At first.
10:36
Speaker 7: At night, we got a call that Petrushkin wanted to
10:39
Speaker 7: talk now and would confess to moskaliov U's murder. Once
10:44
Speaker 7: he admitted it, we knew that we had to get
10:46
Speaker 7: him to talk more. Initially I acted skeptical in order
10:50
Speaker 7: to provoke him to convince me. As he told us
10:53
Speaker 7: more and more details, we understood his character. He wanted
10:56
Speaker 7: us to recognize his achievements, so we started to treat
10:59
Speaker 7: it with respect, as if he were a hero. We
11:03
Speaker 7: did that to keep him talking.
11:05
Speaker 2: They hadn't caught them in all these years, with all
11:07
Speaker 2: these killings and it's so good to boast to the
11:12
Speaker 2: police that you are better than them.
11:17
Speaker 1: Investigators make an incredible discovery when searching his apartment.
11:23
Speaker 7: There's all of us go During the search, we found
11:27
Speaker 7: a chessboard in his apartment. Almost all the squares had
11:32
Speaker 7: numbers stuck on them that he had cut out.
11:34
Speaker 9: Of the newspaper.
11:37
Speaker 7: After each murder, he stuck a number on the board,
11:40
Speaker 7: assigning each murder victim a square on the chessboard.
11:46
Speaker 6: He wanted to kill sixty four victims the number of
11:48
Speaker 6: squares on the chessboard.
11:52
Speaker 1: But what Supernenko still lacks the murder weapon, the hammer.
11:58
Speaker 1: Investigators take accused back to the scenes of his crimes.
12:04
Speaker 1: The idea is for him to show them how he
12:07
Speaker 1: killed his victims. Supronenko also hopes that he will tell
12:14
Speaker 1: them where the weapon is. At the crime scenes, Pechushkin
12:19
Speaker 1: comes out of his shell. He shows everything precisely. He
12:25
Speaker 1: gives the impression of reliving the crimes.
12:29
Speaker 7: Pechushkin could recall every small detail that interested him, the
12:34
Speaker 7: time down to the minute, the date the murder took place.
12:39
Speaker 7: That was important to him. What didn't interest him were
12:42
Speaker 7: the clothes the victims wore. He couldn't remember that well.
12:46
Speaker 7: When we interrogated him in the office, he was dull
12:50
Speaker 7: and bored, but when we went to the crime scene
12:52
Speaker 7: to check the details, he was lively.
12:55
Speaker 9: He enjoyed it.
12:57
Speaker 7: This was his real life.
13:00
Speaker 1: The strategy of bringing Petushkin back to the crime scene
13:03
Speaker 1: to talk worked. He even leads investigators to the murder
13:08
Speaker 1: weapons hiding place. Divers recover it from a small pond
13:13
Speaker 1: in Bitsevsky Park.
13:16
Speaker 7: It was important to find the murder weapon so that
13:19
Speaker 7: we could prove the killer had used it. When we
13:23
Speaker 7: found the hammer in this pond and examined it, we
13:27
Speaker 7: discovered that a small piece of it was missing, and
13:32
Speaker 7: one of the victims had precisely this piece lodged in
13:34
Speaker 7: his head. That made us one hundred percent certain he
13:39
Speaker 7: was the killer.
13:41
Speaker 6: In the.
13:45
Speaker 1: Investigators now have the killer, the confession, and the murder weapon.
13:52
Speaker 1: Petushkin is indicted on September thirteenth, two thousand and seven,
13:57
Speaker 1: for the murder of forty eight people. Pechushkin keeps silent
14:01
Speaker 1: the first couple of days, but as he notices how
14:04
Speaker 1: much attention the trial generates, he begins to talk.
14:09
Speaker 7: Pichushkin shows no remorse. He testifies that he would have
14:13
Speaker 7: continued killing. He says, twenty of you are judging me,
14:18
Speaker 7: but during the murders, I was alone and decided myself
14:21
Speaker 7: who should live and who should die. I was like God,
14:26
Speaker 7: but I showed him that he was no God. My
14:28
Speaker 7: job was to put him in jail, and what he
14:31
Speaker 7: felt about it does not interest me.
14:35
Speaker 6: The person is only an object for him on which
14:37
Speaker 6: he can demonstrate his greatness and power. I'm sure he
14:41
Speaker 6: was thinking, I'm very intelligent, although everyone completely underestimates me.
14:47
Speaker 1: The trial lasts six weeks. On October the twenty ninth,
14:53
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, the court sentences Petushkin to life
14:58
Speaker 1: in prison. He stills serving time. People in Moscow can
15:02
Speaker 1: breathe easy again, but other killers are even more ruthless.
15:11
Speaker 1: Their crime scenes a horrific sight, but.
15:15
Speaker 5: I think you can ever prepare yourself for that type
15:18
Speaker 5: of scene that you're coming across.
15:20
Speaker 1: Their crime shock investigators gruesome puzzles for them to solve,
15:30
Speaker 1: as in this case, the killer has sex with dead bodies.
15:35
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer, the Milwaukee Monster, puts bits of dead bodies
15:39
Speaker 1: in his freezer.
15:42
Speaker 8: Jeffrey Dahmer is one of the most prolific and most
15:45
Speaker 8: renowned serial killers in the world.
15:47
Speaker 1: The worst case in the career of Detective Dennis Murphy.
15:54
Speaker 3: It's our job that remain quote do desire to convict
15:57
Speaker 3: the guy and make sure he's wrong guilty.
16:00
Speaker 1: At least nineteen people in a way never before seen Milwaukee.
16:07
Speaker 1: On the night of July the twenty second, nineteen ninety one,
16:12
Speaker 1: a man discovers an acid drum with body parts in
16:15
Speaker 1: the apartment of his friend, Jeffrey Dahmer. What officers find
16:22
Speaker 1: in the apartment is sheer horror, a freezer full of
16:27
Speaker 1: body parts. Detective Dennis Murphy doesn't yet suspect that they're
16:34
Speaker 1: arresting one of the most ruthless killers in American history.
16:38
Speaker 3: At three o'clock, I get a call from Lieutenant Vaughan
16:41
Speaker 3: and he says, you got to get in here. We
16:43
Speaker 3: got a guy that's got ten or eleven skulls in
16:45
Speaker 3: his apartment, And of course I says, yeah, you're pulling
16:49
Speaker 3: my leg. But I had other words for that, but
16:53
Speaker 3: I didn't believe them, and I'll get back and I
16:56
Speaker 3: hung up. Then he called me back because I'm serious,
16:59
Speaker 3: get in here. So then I went into work right away.
17:03
Speaker 1: While his colleagues collect evidence Back at the station, Murphy
17:07
Speaker 1: proceeds with hardened concentration. He must get Dharma to confess.
17:14
Speaker 3: I spoke with him for seventeen hours of first day,
17:19
Speaker 3: over seventeen hours, and then the next day I believe
17:22
Speaker 3: it was sixteen and by that time we had the
17:24
Speaker 3: folk and fashion from him. Before his attorney could come
17:28
Speaker 3: in say hey, I want to talk to him. And
17:30
Speaker 3: when he did, Damer didn't want to talk to me
17:33
Speaker 3: signed a release saying I don't want to talk.
17:36
Speaker 1: After three days, Dennis Murphy breaks the killer. Dharma begins
17:40
Speaker 1: to confess, and what he says sounds unbelievable. It all
17:48
Speaker 1: begins in the Ambassador Hotel, the Milwaukee Monster's first crime scene. Here,
17:55
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Darmer kills his first victim, a sexual partner, Stephen Touomi,
18:01
Speaker 1: and then he had.
18:01
Speaker 3: A problem to get rid of the body. So he
18:03
Speaker 3: went to the surplus store down on Wisconsin Avenue, picked
18:07
Speaker 3: up a used suitcase, brought it back put to me
18:12
Speaker 3: in the suitcase. He was a strong individual and he
18:16
Speaker 3: could lift it with no problem, so he'd handle it himself.
18:21
Speaker 1: Dama has incredible luck. Neither employees nor guests notice anything.
18:29
Speaker 1: Detective Murphy can barely believe.
18:31
Speaker 3: It, not much unless there was a complaint or blood
18:37
Speaker 3: was dripping out of a suitcase and someone saw it.
18:40
Speaker 3: But there's no complaint in the rooms next to him,
18:43
Speaker 3: if there were people in the rooms at that time,
18:47
Speaker 3: So if there's no complaint, there's nothing to stop him.
18:50
Speaker 1: Dama takes a taxi from in front of the hotel
18:53
Speaker 1: and rides home with a body stewed in the trunk.
18:57
Speaker 5: On the side of domit. It must have given him
18:58
Speaker 5: a great sense of satisfaction that he was able to
19:01
Speaker 5: get away with.
19:03
Speaker 1: At the time, Dharma is still living in a suburb
19:05
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee with his grandmother. He dismembers to Omi's body
19:12
Speaker 1: and stows it in the basement. Detective Murphy can hardly
19:17
Speaker 1: comprehend what he's hearing.
19:21
Speaker 3: I spoke with her grandmother herself, and she said she
19:24
Speaker 3: had hearing problems, and she kind of had a suspicion
19:30
Speaker 3: that jeff like boys, but she wasn't sure.
19:35
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer is a homosexual. Two months after his first murder,
19:42
Speaker 1: he lures two more young men to his house and
19:45
Speaker 1: kills them. Then he has sex with their dead bodies.
19:49
Speaker 5: So drugging them or killing them first and then having
19:53
Speaker 5: sexual behaviors probably just made him feel more comfortable because
19:56
Speaker 5: he didn't really have that ability to interact with people.
19:59
Speaker 5: People can reject you, they can leave you, etc.
20:01
Speaker 4: I don't like them moving, I don't like them talking.
20:04
Speaker 4: I just want them laying there. Well, that's what you
20:08
Speaker 4: get with the dead body.
20:10
Speaker 1: Detective Murphy discovers that Darma nonchalantly throws the body paths
20:14
Speaker 1: out with the household garbage. The Milwaukee Monster leaves the
20:19
Speaker 1: garbage can at the curbside.
20:25
Speaker 2: He showed no outward features. Like many serial killers, they
20:29
Speaker 2: live apparently normal lives. They get on with their life.
20:34
Speaker 2: They are polite so for the police until they get
20:38
Speaker 2: a clue, until they get a lead, it's very difficult.
20:43
Speaker 1: Dharma's story begins in the small city of Bath, Ohio,
20:47
Speaker 1: population ten thousand. As a young boy, he tortures animals.
20:55
Speaker 2: In Jeffrey Darmer's case, his early interest in injuring animals
20:58
Speaker 2: and to examining row kills is clearly a pointer to
21:02
Speaker 2: where he was going to get to in his life.
21:04
Speaker 8: This low empathy probably continued into adulthood, and the target
21:10
Speaker 8: simply changed.
21:11
Speaker 1: Darma kills his first victim when he's just eighteen years old.
21:16
Speaker 1: He takes hitchhiker Stephen Hicks home with him and beats
21:20
Speaker 1: him to death, with the body in the trunk of
21:23
Speaker 1: his car. Darma is stopped by police, but he talks
21:27
Speaker 1: his way out of it.
21:29
Speaker 4: And in fact they were really close at the very
21:31
Speaker 4: beginning of his murderous career.
21:34
Speaker 5: Probably was a big confidence booster for him that he
21:36
Speaker 5: was able to manipulate the police and at Colm under
21:39
Speaker 5: the circumstance.
21:42
Speaker 1: He begins his career as a murderer. In May of
21:45
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety Dama's grandmother kicks him out of the house.
21:49
Speaker 1: They may walk him. Monster moves out into the Oxford apartments.
21:54
Speaker 1: Now he can kill as he pleases. In the summer
21:57
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety four more murders, Dahma begins to eat
22:01
Speaker 1: pieces of his victims.
22:06
Speaker 8: You could say, in sects in general, there's a desire
22:09
Speaker 8: to have a piece of someone else inside of you.
22:12
Speaker 8: I think you could say that there. It may have
22:14
Speaker 8: been an overflow of that manifestation of that desire to
22:18
Speaker 8: feel his lovers inside him by eating them.
22:23
Speaker 1: More and more men die in Dama's apartment. What detective
22:30
Speaker 1: Dennis Murphy still does not understand why no one on
22:34
Speaker 1: the property reports the smell of the decomposing bodies.
22:43
Speaker 3: Well, they did smell something, but when he went to
22:47
Speaker 3: Dahmer's apartment to measure, says, hey, what stinks in your apartment?
22:50
Speaker 3: You said, while my fish died. Corps is in his
22:54
Speaker 3: room for two or three days before he disposed of
22:57
Speaker 3: them and cut him up and put him in acid
23:00
Speaker 3: and flushes down a toilet and break the bones and
23:03
Speaker 3: throw them in a garbage When a garverge meant game.
23:07
Speaker 1: The detective discovers the police actually could have arrested Dama
23:12
Speaker 1: much sooner. On May the twenty seventh, nineteen ninety one,
23:16
Speaker 1: the police receive a call from a young man in
23:19
Speaker 1: Dama's apartment. He's afraid of the killer and begs for help.
23:23
Speaker 1: The police believe it's just a fight between two gay men.
23:27
Speaker 5: Now, one might say, but how could that have happened?
23:30
Speaker 5: But at the time in Milwaukee, the police had a
23:32
Speaker 5: lot of criticism for how they dealt with the gay community,
23:36
Speaker 5: and as a result of this, they were very hesitant
23:38
Speaker 5: to get involved in any sort of gay dispute between
23:41
Speaker 5: possibly potentially between two.
23:42
Speaker 4: Lovers it's very frustrating, I think for law enforcement to recognize,
23:48
Speaker 4: especially in Jeffrey Dahmer's case, that they were really, really close.
23:53
Speaker 4: A couple of times.
23:55
Speaker 1: The police leave the young man in the apartment, a
23:57
Speaker 1: fatal mistake.
24:04
Speaker 4: After they departed, Dahmer murdered this fourteen year old boy.
24:09
Speaker 1: Detective Dennis Murphy finds out Dama often picks up his
24:13
Speaker 1: victims in nightclubs. In his apartment, he injects acid into
24:19
Speaker 1: the men's brains.
24:21
Speaker 4: Somebody that wouldn't interact with them or wouldn't talk, but
24:25
Speaker 4: would be alive and available for him to have sex with.
24:28
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that kind of magical thinking that you
24:32
Speaker 4: think that only a crazy person would think like that,
24:36
Speaker 4: or somebody who was psychotic.
24:38
Speaker 1: Thus ends an unbelievable confession. Detective Murphy squeezed everything out
24:45
Speaker 1: of Dama during the interrogation, but in court, the Milwaukee
24:50
Speaker 1: Monster's defense attorney pleads insanity. Psychologists attest to Dama's various
24:59
Speaker 1: psychologe logical disturbances, including schizophrenia. The ongoing trial is in danger.
25:09
Speaker 3: Well, it's our job that remain cool and become confident
25:12
Speaker 3: and comfortable, because if you show any distress they're going
25:17
Speaker 3: to jump on you. If you get everything screwed up,
25:20
Speaker 3: you're going to lose your testimony. We had the proof sanity,
25:25
Speaker 3: and I think we did.
25:28
Speaker 1: In the end, the court rejects the plea and sentences
25:31
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer to life in prison.
25:34
Speaker 3: This has never been a case of trying to get free.
25:38
Speaker 1: I didn't ever want freedom.
25:40
Speaker 4: Frankly, I want to death for myself.
25:43
Speaker 1: One year later, Dennis Murphy visits Dama in prison, and.
25:50
Speaker 3: At that time he went from one hundred and ninety
25:52
Speaker 3: pounds of muscle to two hundred and fifteen pounds of
25:55
Speaker 3: kind of flab. He didn't have the grip he had before,
26:00
Speaker 3: or he told me he was. He found God, he
26:03
Speaker 3: was good with it, and then he was going to
26:05
Speaker 3: be dead in six months, and he why did I die?
26:08
Speaker 1: It takes longer. Two years after the verdict, another prisoner
26:12
Speaker 1: beats Darma to death in his cell. To this day,
26:16
Speaker 1: Dennis Murphy still has a strange feeling somewhere between satisfaction
26:20
Speaker 1: and fear that there might be more people like Dama.
26:25
Speaker 3: I'd go home and I'd tell my wife about it,
26:27
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't go into all of what he did.
26:30
Speaker 3: I just said he cut up the body parts and
26:32
Speaker 3: disposed of them, and my children even heard it. But
26:36
Speaker 3: I said, this is one in a million. I don't
26:38
Speaker 3: want you to think people are all like this.
26:43
Speaker 1: But there are more of them, ruthless killers who know
26:53
Speaker 1: no sympathy for their victims. They kill for years unnoticed.
26:58
Speaker 1: They're victims, men, women, and even children.
27:04
Speaker 4: Didn't care if they lived or died, even care if
27:07
Speaker 4: he hurt them.
27:12
Speaker 1: Also, in Russia, shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union,
27:17
Speaker 1: chaos and poverty reign poverty that one man takes advantage
27:22
Speaker 1: of Alexander Specistsev traps his victims with the help of
27:27
Speaker 1: his own mother.
27:28
Speaker 5: I don't think you can ever prepare yourself for that
27:30
Speaker 5: type of scene that you're coming across.
27:33
Speaker 1: For investigators, unbelievable.
27:37
Speaker 9: Such people shouldn't be allowed to live.
27:41
Speaker 1: How and after how many murders do they stop the
27:44
Speaker 1: man who is perhaps the most ruthless killer of all time.
27:50
Speaker 1: Russia more precisely deeper Siberia Novo Kutznyevsk, a city of
27:56
Speaker 1: half a million inhabitants. The anonymity of the big city
28:01
Speaker 1: helps one man to kill unnoticed, but not just anyone.
28:07
Speaker 1: He kills children. Investigators chase him for seven months. The
28:13
Speaker 1: head of the team, Alexander or Reshin.
28:22
Speaker 9: I had nothing to do with serial killers before. I
28:26
Speaker 9: had often been to crime scenes, but serial killers, Spaziq said,
28:32
Speaker 9: was my first, as a matter of fact, the first
28:36
Speaker 9: for the whole city.
28:38
Speaker 1: In June of nineteen ninety six, people out for a
28:42
Speaker 1: walk find strange things in the Aba river. O Reshin
28:48
Speaker 1: is one of the first at the scene. His team
28:51
Speaker 1: searches the river bank for five days. They find feet, hands,
28:55
Speaker 1: human bones.
29:00
Speaker 4: Don't have the identities of the victims. There's no place
29:04
Speaker 4: to start with. Who are these girls, when did they disappear?
29:09
Speaker 4: Where were they taken from? All you've got is a
29:12
Speaker 4: body that has no identification.
29:15
Speaker 1: After finding the body parts, Orsian is certain, very very
29:20
Speaker 1: many people have been killed in Novokutznitsk, all of them children.
29:31
Speaker 9: When we found the body parts, it was a horrible sight.
29:37
Speaker 9: The whole team immediately developed ideas for how we could
29:41
Speaker 9: catch the killer.
29:46
Speaker 1: Suspicions range from trade in organs to child prostitution to
29:51
Speaker 1: a psychopathic serial killer. The last conjecture is correct that
29:58
Speaker 1: Inspector Rashian's bill has no leads and investigating is difficult.
30:03
Speaker 1: In that period. At the beginning of the nineteen nineties,
30:07
Speaker 1: Russia is in upheaval, massive poverty reigns.
30:10
Speaker 4: If you look at Russia at this time, the USSR
30:15
Speaker 4: is breaking down, there's a very poor economics. People are starving.
30:22
Speaker 6: Men got drunk or left their families. Mothers fought for
30:25
Speaker 6: every job and drank too. Children were no use to anyone.
30:29
Speaker 6: This was the population the victims came from. No one
30:33
Speaker 6: was looking for them.
30:35
Speaker 1: One man takes advantage of precisely this, his name Alexander Spasistsev.
30:42
Speaker 1: But Inspector Orissian does not yet have any leads where
30:46
Speaker 1: and for whom should he even look.
30:49
Speaker 9: Naturally, we took as many children off the streets as
30:52
Speaker 9: possible and return them to their parents. But starving children
30:56
Speaker 9: go back out on the street after a short time.
31:01
Speaker 1: And never come back home. In the next five months,
31:04
Speaker 1: over seventy children disappear, non older than thirteen. Police comb
31:14
Speaker 1: the area around Novokutsnitsk, the whole city, every suspicious apartment.
31:22
Speaker 8: It seems unfathomable that an individual could be capable of
31:27
Speaker 8: abusing children in this way, and the question, of course
31:30
Speaker 8: is where does it come from?
31:31
Speaker 1: How does a human being turn into a savage child killer.
31:37
Speaker 1: The killer grows up in a family plagued by domestic violence.
31:41
Speaker 1: His father drinks and abandons a family. When Specissev is thirteen, you.
31:50
Speaker 4: See a very dominant father who's abusive to the family.
31:56
Speaker 4: He's abusive to the son, to the mother, probably emotionally abusive,
32:01
Speaker 4: sexually abusive, physically abusive.
32:04
Speaker 6: As Alexander grows up without a father, he takes on
32:07
Speaker 6: the role his father had once occupied.
32:12
Speaker 1: Spacistsef, the new head of the family, is always an outsider.
32:17
Speaker 1: Early on, he shows signs of psychological disturbances. He gets married,
32:21
Speaker 1: kills his wife during a fight, and is put in
32:24
Speaker 1: a mental institutions.
32:27
Speaker 6: The methods of the Soviet psychiatric ward were based on beatings, fetters,
32:33
Speaker 6: and injections.
32:35
Speaker 4: Is that no business the code.
32:38
Speaker 1: After three years, Specistsef is released as a psychological wreck.
32:45
Speaker 1: Four months after the bodies are discovered on the river bank,
32:48
Speaker 1: three girls disappear from a bus stop. A woman lures
32:52
Speaker 1: them to her house. Everyone is under suspicion, but not Specistf.
32:57
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks he's still in the institution.
33:01
Speaker 9: In reality, Spezitsev had been out for a while. Only
33:05
Speaker 9: we didn't know despite having asked. That was a big
33:09
Speaker 9: bureaucratic mistake, a mistake that cost many innocent children's lives.
33:16
Speaker 1: As so often happens, a coincidence brings about the crucial
33:20
Speaker 1: shift and sets Inspector Orashin on the right trail. After
33:27
Speaker 1: a pipe burst, plumbers try to check the apartment where
33:31
Speaker 1: Specissev and his mother, Lude Miller live, but no one
33:36
Speaker 1: lets them in. The workmen informed the police Inspector Orassin
33:43
Speaker 1: will never forget what he finds here.
33:49
Speaker 9: We came into the apartment and what we saw was horrifying.
33:58
Speaker 9: There were children's clothes scattered everywhere, there were body parts
34:03
Speaker 9: in the bathtub, and Olga was lying in the living
34:08
Speaker 9: room severely injured.
34:10
Speaker 5: I don't think you can ever prepare yourself for that
34:12
Speaker 5: type of scene that you're coming.
34:14
Speaker 1: Across Prussian steps onto a savage battlefield.
34:24
Speaker 8: Even as an expert, it's hard for me to understand
34:26
Speaker 8: how someone can be capable of committing this level of
34:31
Speaker 8: brutality over such a long period of time, with such
34:34
Speaker 8: a vulnerable population.
34:35
Speaker 1: In the apartment, a severely injured and traumatized girl.
34:44
Speaker 9: How should you feel when you see dead children and
34:49
Speaker 9: an injured thirteen year old girl whose eyes register only
34:55
Speaker 9: pure dread, but there is no.
34:58
Speaker 1: Trace of Specific. He escapes from the roof the same day,
35:03
Speaker 1: the girl provides the missing information. Who brought you to
35:09
Speaker 1: the apartment? How did she do it? Did she ask
35:15
Speaker 1: you for help? She couldn't open the door. No, that's
35:20
Speaker 1: why she took you upstairs. It turns out the killer's
35:24
Speaker 1: mother lures the victims into the trap the home she
35:27
Speaker 1: shares with her son.
35:29
Speaker 5: She was basically is lucky to do whatever he wanted.
35:33
Speaker 1: The same day, Inspector Orshin arrests the mother Ludmiller specific
35:38
Speaker 1: zeph In addition, the police find photos of children and
35:43
Speaker 1: countless articles of children's clothing. Or Reshin is certain the
35:48
Speaker 1: child killer of Novokutsnitsk lives here. The mother lud Miller
35:53
Speaker 1: finally confesses and admits to having trapped the children. Oorshin
35:58
Speaker 1: keeps the apartment under obsorit and hopes that the son
36:02
Speaker 1: will come back.
36:06
Speaker 4: For guys like this, this is the only life they
36:09
Speaker 4: have ever known. This is where he lives. Where's he
36:13
Speaker 4: gonna go?
36:14
Speaker 1: And in fact, the killer does come home and he's arrested.
36:18
Speaker 1: During the interrogation, mother and son quarrel.
36:21
Speaker 8: What kind of son are you?
36:22
Speaker 6: For months I dispose of your bodies. Just yesterday it
36:25
Speaker 6: was again four trash cans, and now you say it's
36:27
Speaker 6: my fault because they want to know where the bodies are?
36:31
Speaker 6: Say where they are?
36:32
Speaker 2: How are you not ashamed?
36:33
Speaker 9: Why are you so mad at me? Such an ingrate?
36:36
Speaker 2: I'm not angry.
36:37
Speaker 5: The mother probably was not necessarily a willing accomplice. If
36:41
Speaker 5: she was on her own, she probably would not have
36:42
Speaker 5: got up to this type of behavior.
36:44
Speaker 1: The true nature of the strange relationship between mother and
36:48
Speaker 1: son is never clear. The court sentences Lord Miller to
36:51
Speaker 1: thirteen years in prison. Her son, Alexander, is judged insane.
36:56
Speaker 1: Since then, he has lived in a psychiatric ward. Inspector
37:00
Speaker 1: Orashin believes the killer has more than eighty children on
37:04
Speaker 1: his conscience.
37:09
Speaker 9: To be honest, I feel only discussed now. Everything having
37:15
Speaker 9: to do with Spasiftseva a problem with you. It cost
37:21
Speaker 9: us so much energy to solve this case, but there
37:31
Speaker 9: is no justification for such people being allowed to live
37:36
Speaker 9: among us.
37:40
Speaker 1: Inspector Alexander Orushin will never forget the so called Siberian Tiger.
37:48
Speaker 1: He hopes the killer will never be released. From the
37:50
Speaker 1: psychiatric ward. To this day, he's under lock and key. Others, however,
38:05
Speaker 1: are found only after they die. Germany, Frankfurt for thirty years,
38:11
Speaker 1: the killing zone of Manfred Zeil, known as a German Jack,
38:16
Speaker 1: the Ripper, the shocking thing. He not only kills his victims,
38:20
Speaker 1: he dismembers.
38:21
Speaker 4: Them, who didn't care if they lived or died, didn't
38:25
Speaker 4: care if he hurt them.
38:27
Speaker 1: No one suspects anything about Mamfredzel's dark side. He's considered
38:32
Speaker 1: a friendly family man, but in reality he keeps body
38:37
Speaker 1: parts as trophies.
38:40
Speaker 6: Perfectly dismembering a body is the high point of sadism zadismus.
38:47
Speaker 1: But how can a dead serial killer be brought to justice?
38:55
Speaker 1: Schwalbach am Taunus, a small city near the metropolis Frankfurt
39:00
Speaker 1: a mine. On September tenth, twenty fourteen, a young woman
39:08
Speaker 1: is cleaning out the garage of a recently deceased father,
39:13
Speaker 1: Manfred Zeale, beloved by all, a seemingly kind hearted man
39:19
Speaker 1: and husband. But behind this garage door lurks a dark secret.
39:25
Speaker 4: You have the two sides of seal that were so
39:29
Speaker 4: well concealed to everybody around them that they're not even
39:34
Speaker 4: discovered until after his death.
39:36
Speaker 1: When Zael's daughter opens two plastic barrels, she can't believe
39:40
Speaker 1: her eyes. They contain body parts. It's the remains of
39:46
Speaker 1: a prostitute named Brita Diallo. Is Manfredzille a woman killer?
39:54
Speaker 1: Did he mutilate the victims so savagely? Forensic psychiatrist Manoela
40:00
Speaker 1: Deck also wonders about one question, in particular, was it him,
40:05
Speaker 1: and if yes, why.
40:08
Speaker 6: There were many individual body parts? Many body parts make
40:11
Speaker 6: it possible to create a new person.
40:14
Speaker 2: Nine mentioned soon.
40:18
Speaker 6: The second idea is related to cannibalism. The muscles can
40:22
Speaker 6: be removed and the meat actually eaten exactly fats.
40:27
Speaker 1: A dismembered body highly unusual and normally not an isolated instance.
40:35
Speaker 1: Police form the so called Alaska Unit and investigate the
40:39
Speaker 1: deceased Zeal. A search of his house turns up over
40:44
Speaker 1: thirty thousand pieces of violent pornography.
40:49
Speaker 8: Pornography, while not inherently bad, can provide inspiration, if you will,
40:56
Speaker 8: for later sexual crimes.
41:00
Speaker 4: He was essentially acting out some of the scenarios that
41:04
Speaker 4: he had In this pornographic films or pornographic photographs of
41:09
Speaker 4: these victims. He's essentially reproducing the same dynamic in his murders.
41:16
Speaker 1: An image in sales pornography collection resembles the wounds of
41:20
Speaker 1: the dead bodies in the barrel? Is there another side
41:26
Speaker 1: to Zail? A dark side that no one knows.
41:31
Speaker 3: Mentioned?
41:32
Speaker 6: The people who exhibit sexual sadism often have fractured pasts.
41:38
Speaker 6: Their childhood was not necessarily the kind one imagines as proper.
41:43
Speaker 6: Was marked by neglect and very possibly by physical assault
41:47
Speaker 6: as well.
41:48
Speaker 2: He was often corporalition negography.
41:52
Speaker 1: But in Monfred Zel's past everything is entirely normal. He
41:56
Speaker 1: graduates high school, gets married, plays in a jazz band.
42:00
Speaker 1: His job he runs a household clearance business. On the
42:04
Speaker 1: surface or was the friendly neighbor?
42:09
Speaker 5: This is a very frustrating case because you don't have
42:12
Speaker 5: an offender that can give you answers and give you pointers, etc.
42:15
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of speculations to the whys, Why
42:18
Speaker 5: did this happen? Why did he do certain things with them?
42:20
Speaker 5: More victims.
42:22
Speaker 1: Detectors focus their investigation on the Frankfort street walking scene
42:27
Speaker 1: in the city's Barnhorst Feudal for Zel's victim is a prostitute.
42:33
Speaker 1: Officers question numerous people in the red light district and
42:37
Speaker 1: learn that Zel was a regular customer. Every Saturday he
42:41
Speaker 1: looked for women engaging in sado masochism.
42:46
Speaker 4: So we're making the linkage in cases. We're saying, OK,
42:49
Speaker 4: these cases are in, these cases are out, but now
42:52
Speaker 4: who's the offender? So we move from victims to linkage
42:56
Speaker 4: to offender. Here we've got a fender and victims. So
43:00
Speaker 4: now we're trying to work back like where where do
43:03
Speaker 4: these people come from?
43:05
Speaker 5: So you have to look more the behavioral the victimology,
43:07
Speaker 5: how the person was murdered, where they were found, et cetera,
43:10
Speaker 5: and do what we call a behavioral linkage to see
43:12
Speaker 5: which cases can be included.
43:15
Speaker 1: The Alaska unit reopens all missing persons and unsolved homicide
43:20
Speaker 1: cases in the Frankfurt area. They investigate whether there are
43:25
Speaker 1: similarities with the victim Brita Diallo, and they hope to
43:29
Speaker 1: find further evidence regarding Manfred zee Well.
43:34
Speaker 4: Like a lot of serial killers, seal of selecting victims
43:39
Speaker 4: that are basically available and vulnerable.
43:45
Speaker 1: Police looks specifically at mutilated victims. The severed body parts
43:50
Speaker 1: in Manfred Zeel's barrel suggests that you like to keep souvenirs.
43:57
Speaker 1: Psychologists call this trophy lust. Could Zeil have hidden it
44:02
Speaker 1: from his family.
44:04
Speaker 6: Psychopaths live out their perversions with prostitutes rather than at
44:08
Speaker 6: home because they learn early on to wall off their
44:11
Speaker 6: aggressions and then let them out in a controlled way
44:15
Speaker 6: to bring and they leave their families unharmed because their
44:19
Speaker 6: social sense works well.
44:21
Speaker 1: Yet, after two years and over two hundred and thirty
44:25
Speaker 1: pieces of information from the city's inhabitants, the Alaska Unit
44:30
Speaker 1: is certain Manfred Zeel is the killer and he was
44:35
Speaker 1: responsible for even more deaths. Here in the bushes of
44:38
Speaker 1: Highway A sixty six's one is where he probably killed
44:42
Speaker 1: a prostitute named Dominique Monrose in December of nineteen ninety three.
44:49
Speaker 1: To this day, her head is still missing. Gizles singh Hatisa,
44:55
Speaker 1: Erul Keroglu and good roun Abel all were probably also
45:00
Speaker 1: left mutilated by Manfred Zeel. He always keeps a body
45:06
Speaker 1: part with him.
45:08
Speaker 2: A trophy is a fantastic stimulus. It reminds you. It
45:13
Speaker 2: can give you a smell, a sight, a taste, and
45:18
Speaker 2: it can bring back to you all of those fantasies
45:23
Speaker 2: and realities and you can relive the crime.
45:27
Speaker 1: The climax A child murder in nineteen ninety eight. It
45:32
Speaker 1: shocks the entire country, even if it's still not entirely
45:37
Speaker 1: certain investigators believe that Zeal was behind it too. The
45:42
Speaker 1: killer cuts the boy's throat and cuts off his testicles
45:45
Speaker 1: and a piece of his thigh.
45:48
Speaker 6: The injuries also fit the thirteen year old boy. We
45:53
Speaker 6: saw that he was strangled, that he was mutilated, and
45:57
Speaker 6: that there were also injuries to the genital area.
46:00
Speaker 1: For the non burden, whether Tristan indeed died at Manfred
46:05
Speaker 1: Zeel's hand has not been proven, but lots of evidence
46:10
Speaker 1: support the theory. The investigation is still open. For the detectives.
46:15
Speaker 5: A burden, you almost have to narrow your focuses and
46:18
Speaker 5: try not to torture yourself over the things that you'll
46:21
Speaker 5: probably never get answers to, because unless he left a
46:23
Speaker 5: detailed diary of what he's done, we're not going to
46:26
Speaker 5: have insight into his mind.
46:28
