• 0:09
  Speaker 3: That's horrible.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: Believe me, if I started murdering people, there'd be none
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: of you left.
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: There's just something completely different about hearing a killer speak
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: for themselves. Because, for a moment, you're not hearing about
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: the crime from a detective or a journalist. You're hearing
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: it directly from the person who actually committed it. Today,
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: we're looking at interviews and statements from seven of the
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: most infamous serial killers and criminals in history to see
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: what they said when asked about their crimes, their motives,
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: and the things they did. Eileen Wuornos She was an
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: American serial killer who murdered seven men in a single
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: year in Florida. She claimed the men she killed had
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: tried to assault her. She worked as a sex worker
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: and targeted her clients. She was arrested in January 1991,
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: later convicted for the murders and sentenced to death.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I never hated men, but now I do.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, not all. I have a category. I hate
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: those male... God... I hate those male cops. Real bad,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: because they're dirt balls. The cops, the judges, the lawyers,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: they're all male.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: Arthur Shawcross.
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: He was an American serial killer known.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: As the Genesee River Killer.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: Mainly because he disposed of many of his victims' bodies
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: near the Genesee River. In 1972, he was convicted for
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: the murder of two children and served 14 years in
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: prison before being released. After his release, specifically between 1988
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: and 1989, he killed 11 women in Rochester, New York,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: many of whom were homeless. He was caught in 1990
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: and sentenced to life in prison. And when they asked
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: him how he committed his crimes, this was his response.
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: Do you remember killing her?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, possibly.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: We're not going into details here.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: No, but how did you kill her?
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: Probably strangulation.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: How do you know when they're dead?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know, just doing.
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: More or less after they just relax, body relax, doesn't
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: fight no more.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: That one takes about four minutes, probably. Sometimes less than that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: Joseph Callenger, one of the most disturbed figures on this list.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Joseph became a serial killer alongside his son, Michael. In
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: the mid-70s, he committed a series of crimes with his son,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: including the murder of three people, one of whom was
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: a family member. He suffered from delusions and hallucinations, convinced
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: that God was sending him messages and assigning him tasks
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: to carry out. He was caught in 1975 and sentenced
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: to life in prison. Listen closely to the way he talks.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: When Callenger's reign of terror ended, three were dead, including
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: his 14-year-old son.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You murdered your own son?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, I did.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Why did you do that?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: He was a sacrifice. I was to murder three million
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: people on planet Earth, and he was a sacrifice to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: see if I could murder one of my own. At
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the end of murdering all the people on Earth, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: was going to murder my own family and then take
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: my own life and become God.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: What do you think of the death penalty?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I'm opposed to it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: The state has no right to take your life, but
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: you can murder other people?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone has the right to take a life.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Except you? When I'm under hallucination, I do.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: These voices from God, these hallucinations, do you still experience them?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do. Often? Often.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Do you ever feel violent?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: What do you feel like doing?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Killing people.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Do you still feel like killing people?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yes. Describe the feeling that you get when you feel
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: like killing people. Well, last March 11th, I was hallucinating,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and I took a razor blade and I cut a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: man's throat. Here in the hospital? Here in the hospital.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Do you think you'd murder me, Joe?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yes. That's gruesome, Joe. That's horrible. Yes, it is.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: You don't blame me if I say I hope you
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: never get.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Out of this place. I hope I never do either.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Charles Manson. He was the leader of a criminal cult
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: in the 1960s known as the Manson family. He had
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: a strong personality and was able to persuade his followers
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: to commit horrific crimes. Their most famous crime was the
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: murder of a famous pregnant actress, along with six other people,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: in 1969. His goal was to spark a race war,
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: and the name for this war was actually inspired by
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: a song from a band he loved. He was arrested
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: in 1970 and sentenced to death. And these were his
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: responses to the charges against him.
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: Remorse for what? You people have done everything in the
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: world to me. Doesn't that give me equal right? I
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: can do anything I want to you people at any
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: time I want to, because that's what you've done to me.
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: If you spit in my face and smack me in
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: the mouth and throw me in solitary confinement for nothing,
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: what do you think is going to happen when I
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: get out of here? Guilty. I wouldn't do anything that
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: I felt guilty about.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: You don't feel guilty at all?
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: There's no need to feel guilty. I haven't done anything
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: I'm ashamed of. Maybe I haven't done enough. I might
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: be ashamed of that for not doing enough, for not
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: giving enough, for not being more perceptive, for not being
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: aware enough, for not understanding, for being stupid. Maybe I
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: should have killed four or five hundred people, then I.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Would have felt better.
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: Then I would have felt like I really offered society something.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: You know, if I wanted to kill somebody, I'd take
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: this book and beat you to death with it, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't feel a thing.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: It'd be just like walking to the drugstore.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Do you feel blame?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Are you mad?
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: Do you feel like.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Believe me, If I started murdering people, there'd be none
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: of you left.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: 20 years later, and they still have no.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Idea what you're about.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: Tell me in a sentence.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Who you are.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: In the mid-1980s, residents of California lived through a period
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: of terror due to a series of crimes committed by
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: a man who became known as the Night Stalker. Between
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: 1984 and 1985, his name was linked to a string
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: of murders, assaults, and burglaries. He was later convicted of
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: killing 14 people along with other crimes, although he was
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: initially accused of even more. He followed satanic rituals. and
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: made sure to leave satanic symbols at the crime scenes.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: He was caught in 1985 after local residents chased him
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: down in the street, and he was sentenced to death
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: in 1990.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: They took a woman in her 60s and stomped her
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: to death with his foot, leaving an imprint of a
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: shoe on the side of her face.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Why on earth would you have hurt those people?
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: Why did you kill those people?
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: No comment, no comment. I cannot answer that at this time.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: As far as Satan is concerned, I believe in a
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: malevolent being. His description eludes me, but I have felt
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: powers that are evil. I don't care about myself, really.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: I don't care about what happens to me.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: I never did, really.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I think most humans have in them the capacity to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: commit murder.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: It is not because.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: No, we don't, Richard.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: They choose not to, not because they are morally superior,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: as they so commonly claim, but because they are imprisoned
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: in a way of responsibilities, commitments, beliefs, and sentiments that
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: would render murder an absurd gamble or ridiculous self-destruction.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Jeffrey Dahmer, known as the Cannibal, he committed his crimes
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: between 1978 and 1991, killing around 17 men. He did
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: horrific things to them, like keeping their bodies, dismembering them,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: and even eating parts of them. He was caught in
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: 1991 after one of his intended victims managed to escape,
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: and he was sentenced to life in prison. And this
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: is what he said.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: I started reading pornography, going to the bookstores. Eventually that
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: led to frequenting the gay bars. And then I one
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: time I brought this young man back to the hotel room,
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: the Ambassador Hotel. I was just planning on drugging him
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: and spending the night with him. I had no intention
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: of hurting him. When I woke up in the morning,
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: he had a broken rib here, was heavily bruised. Apparently
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: I had beaten him to death with my fists.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: Why did you photograph them?
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: It was my way of remembering their appearance, their physical beauty.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: I also wanted to keep something. If I couldn't keep
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: them there with me whole, at least I felt that
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: I could keep their skeletons. I was branching out. That's
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: when the cannibalism started, eating of the heart and the
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: arm muscle. It was a way of making me feel
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: that they were a part of me.
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: If you were out on the street now, would you
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: still be committing the crimes?
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: Probably. If this hadn't happened, there's no doubt I probably
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: would be. I can't think of anything that would have
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: stopped me.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Ted Bundy. One of the most famous criminals in history,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: he targeted young women between 1974 and 1978, using his
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: intelligence and appearance to deceive his victims. For example, he
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: would pretend to be injured or ask for help, before
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: violently attacking them. He confessed to killing 30 women, but
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: the actual number is believed to be much higher. He
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: even managed to escape from prison twice, and during his
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: second escape, he tried to kill again before being caught
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: for good. He was sentenced to death and executed in
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: the electric chair in 1989. The interview is short, but
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: he says something strange and dangerous. Pay close attention to it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: I've met a lot of men who were motivated to
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: commit violence just like me.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: And without exception, every one of them was deeply involved.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: In pornography without question. Without exception, deeply influenced and consumed
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: by an addiction to pornography.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: There's no question about it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: The FBI's own study on serial homicide shows that the
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: most common interest among serial killers is pornography.
