  Speaker 2: was sentenced to death in nineteen ninety five for the

  Speaker 2: brutal killings of twelve women in Riverside County between nineteen
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: eighty nine and nineteen ninety one. His violent history, however,
• 3:18

  Speaker 2: Lake Elsinore came forward, suspecting that the victim might be

  Speaker 2: had mentioned a man named Bill was going to pay
• 3:59
