0:50
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighteen, during World War One, British soldier Henry
0:53
Speaker 1: Tandy found himself stationed inside of a trench in northern France.
0:57
Speaker 1: By this point, Henry was already considered a war here
1:00
Speaker 1: and he would go on to become the most decorated
1:02
Speaker 1: British soldier in World War One, but his awards are
1:05
Speaker 1: not what he is remembered for. On September twenty eighth
1:07
Speaker 1: of that year, after a long day of fighting, Henry
1:10
Speaker 1: was propped up on the edge of his trench looking
1:12
Speaker 1: out towards the German line. It was dark and quiet,
1:15
Speaker 1: and there was mist in the air, and at some
1:17
Speaker 1: point Henry noticed a figure way off in the distance
1:20
Speaker 1: walking towards him. Henry instinctively raised his rifle, but he
1:23
Speaker 1: didn't pull the trigger. He wanted to make sure who
1:25
Speaker 1: he was shooting was his enemy, because it could be
1:28
Speaker 1: one of their own men who got wounded and was
1:30
Speaker 1: making his way back to the trench. And so Henry's
1:32
Speaker 1: looking down his gun, staring at the sky, waiting to
1:34
Speaker 1: figure out who he is. And after a few seconds,
1:37
Speaker 1: out of the mist walks a badly wounded German soldier.
1:40
Speaker 1: So it is his enemy, but he wasn't carrying a weapon,
1:43
Speaker 1: and he didn't appear to understand he was walking directly
1:46
Speaker 1: into Henry's sights. Henry aimed his rifle right at this
1:49
Speaker 1: German Man's heart, but he didn't pull the trigger, and
1:52
Speaker 1: the man just continued to walk directly towards Henry until
1:54
Speaker 1: he got about thirty meters away, at which point he
1:57
Speaker 1: stopped and looked up and realized his mistake. But instead
2:00
Speaker 1: of trying to run away, he just stood there and
2:02
Speaker 1: stared at Henry, seeming to accept the fact that he
2:05
Speaker 1: was about to die. Now. Henry had shot many men
2:08
Speaker 1: during the war so far, but he just could not
2:10
Speaker 1: bring himself to shoot this unarmed, wounded German who just
2:14
Speaker 1: looked kind of pathetic. And so, with Henry's gun still up,
2:17
Speaker 1: he glanced to his left, and he glanced to his
2:18
Speaker 1: right to make sure nobody was watching, none of his
2:21
Speaker 1: comrades were going to see this, and then he lowered
2:23
Speaker 1: his gun, and then Henry and this German man just
2:25
Speaker 1: stared at each other for a while until the German
2:28
Speaker 1: man just nodded his thanks, turned around, and wandered back
2:31
Speaker 1: into the mist out of sight. The man Henry had
2:33
Speaker 1: just saved was Adolf Hitler. In the early morning hours
2:40
Speaker 1: of June tenth, nineteen ninety four, Deborah Hoyt suddenly woke
2:44
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night. She and her
2:45
Speaker 1: husband were staying with relatives in Sacramento, California, and they
2:49
Speaker 1: were supposed to be there for the next couple of days.
2:51
Speaker 1: But as she was sitting there, she had this overwhelming
2:54
Speaker 1: urge to want to leave right then and there and
2:56
Speaker 1: head back to their home in Lake Tahoe. Because she
2:59
Speaker 1: didn't really know what to make of this overwhelming feeling,
3:01
Speaker 1: she shook her husband to wake and told him about it.
3:04
Speaker 1: She thought that maybe something was wrong, and he said,
3:06
Speaker 1: you know what, you probably just had a bad dream
3:08
Speaker 1: and you're kind of waking up still half in your dream.
3:10
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. Just go back to bed.
3:12
Speaker 1: I'm sure everything is totally fine. And in the morning,
3:14
Speaker 1: if you still want to, I'd be happy to leave.
3:16
Speaker 1: And so Deborah said, yeah, you're right, I'm totally overreacting.
3:19
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was just a dream, and she laid
3:21
Speaker 1: back down to try to go back to sleep. But
3:24
Speaker 1: as she laid there, that sense of dread that something
3:26
Speaker 1: was wrong and that she had to leave right now.
3:29
Speaker 1: It was just growing and growing and growing until she
3:32
Speaker 1: just jumped out of the bed. She's just standing in
3:34
Speaker 1: the room and she says to her husband, Honey, we
3:36
Speaker 1: gotta go right now. I don't know what's wrong, but
3:38
Speaker 1: we gotta go right now. And her husband did not
3:41
Speaker 1: want to go, and he said, come on, Deborah, get
3:43
Speaker 1: back in bed. It's not a big deal, but she
3:45
Speaker 1: was adamant. She said, get out of bed, we're leaving
3:47
Speaker 1: right now, and so begrudgingly her husband said, okay, we'll
3:50
Speaker 1: leave right now, and so the two of them hastily
3:52
Speaker 1: packed up and then went downstairs and left a note
3:55
Speaker 1: for their relatives explaining their absence, and then they got
3:58
Speaker 1: in their car and they drove off. After a little while,
4:00
Speaker 1: the couple reached a very dangerous section of their journey
4:03
Speaker 1: back home. It was called Bullying Bend, and it was
4:06
Speaker 1: a very windy road up in the mountains, where one
4:09
Speaker 1: wrong turn and you're going flying down the side of
4:11
Speaker 1: a mountain. After driving through this area for about fifteen minutes,
4:14
Speaker 1: they rounded a particularly sharp turn, and as soon as
4:17
Speaker 1: they made the turn and could look down the road, Deborah,
4:20
Speaker 1: who was in the passenger seat, she saw up ahead
4:23
Speaker 1: on the right, off the side of the road several
4:25
Speaker 1: feet something that was just lying there on the side
4:28
Speaker 1: of the road. She didn't know what it was. She
4:29
Speaker 1: thought it was maybe a bag or some trash, or
4:32
Speaker 1: maybe a dead animal, and at first she was just
4:34
Speaker 1: going to dismiss it, but as her husband drove closer
4:36
Speaker 1: and closer to it, the light began to illuminate it,
4:39
Speaker 1: and she looked at it and couldn't really discern what
4:41
Speaker 1: it was until they were right next to it, and
4:43
Speaker 1: she looked at her window and she noticed it was
4:45
Speaker 1: a woman's body, a woman who had no clothes on,
4:48
Speaker 1: who was just lying there, totally motionless. And Deborah immediately
4:51
Speaker 1: turns to her husband and says, honey, I just saw
4:53
Speaker 1: a dead woman on the side of the road. And
4:55
Speaker 1: her husband immediately is kind of panicked and doesn't slow down.
4:58
Speaker 1: He just keeps driving and says, hey, we stop, we
5:00
Speaker 1: turn around. I mean, maybe she's not dead, maybe we
5:02
Speaker 1: can help her. But Deborah at this point is now
5:04
Speaker 1: terrified and she's saying, no, keep going, don't go back.
5:07
Speaker 1: I bet it's a trap. Someone probably put her there,
5:09
Speaker 1: and they're gonna lure us in, and they're gonna attack
5:11
Speaker 1: us if we try to stop and help her. And so,
5:13
Speaker 1: in this kind of chaotic, frenzied reaction that Debra and
5:16
Speaker 1: her husband are having, they decide that their best course
5:18
Speaker 1: of action is just to drive on and find the
5:21
Speaker 1: next payphone and call the police. And it just so
5:23
Speaker 1: happened that less than a quarter of a mile away
5:26
Speaker 1: was a ranger station with a phone, and so they
5:28
Speaker 1: pull into the parking lot and Deborah calls the police.
5:30
Speaker 1: The police tell her to wait inside of her car
5:33
Speaker 1: and they'll be out in a couple of minutes and
5:34
Speaker 1: they're gonna need her to bring them up to where
5:36
Speaker 1: she saw this body. So a couple of minutes goes by,
5:39
Speaker 1: the police show up and they tell them to drive
5:41
Speaker 1: back up the road, but stop about two hundred yards
5:43
Speaker 1: short of where you believe this woman's body is. And
5:46
Speaker 1: so Deborah and her husband they get back in the car.
5:48
Speaker 1: They drive back up the road where they came from,
5:51
Speaker 1: and right at this point where the road turned very
5:53
Speaker 1: sharply is where Deborah knew on the other side of
5:56
Speaker 1: this turn would be this body. And so they pulled
5:58
Speaker 1: over on the side of the road. The police came
6:00
Speaker 1: up on their side and they said, yep, right around
6:02
Speaker 1: the corner, you're going to find her lying on the
6:03
Speaker 1: ground on the left side. And so Deborah and her
6:06
Speaker 1: husband are just sitting in the car watching as the
6:08
Speaker 1: police go up. They make that turn and they kind
6:10
Speaker 1: of disappear out of sight, and then they see their
6:12
Speaker 1: spotlight moving around on the other side of this turn,
6:15
Speaker 1: and so they figure, okay, they're looking for the body.
6:18
Speaker 1: But after several minutes, the police came back down the
6:20
Speaker 1: road and they stopped next to Deborah's car and they said,
6:23
Speaker 1: you know what, guys, we didn't see anything up there.
6:25
Speaker 1: There wasn't a body, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary.
6:28
Speaker 1: And Deborah would say to police, I'm not lying, I
6:30
Speaker 1: know what I saw. It was a woman's body right
6:33
Speaker 1: there in front of me. I know it. It's right
6:34
Speaker 1: over there. And they would tell her that we believe you,
6:37
Speaker 1: but we can't do anything because there's nothing up there.
6:40
Speaker 1: And so they told Debra and her husband to just
6:42
Speaker 1: head home, and they did. After Debrah and her husband
6:45
Speaker 1: took off and we're gone, the two responding officers drove
6:48
Speaker 1: back to their police station and once they were inside,
6:51
Speaker 1: they began speculating about what Deborah might have seen. And
6:54
Speaker 1: as they were talking, another officer came into the station,
6:57
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of rich Strasser, and he
6:59
Speaker 1: overhears them and he goes over. He's intrigued and he
7:02
Speaker 1: asked them, you know what happened? What did you see?
7:03
Speaker 1: And they explained to him that this woman, Debra, had
7:06
Speaker 1: spotted a supposed dead woman's body up on Bullian Bend,
7:10
Speaker 1: and as soon as he heard Bullyan Bend, Rich remembered
7:13
Speaker 1: that just a couple of days ago they had received
7:15
Speaker 1: a missing person report of a young woman named Christine
7:18
Speaker 1: Scubash and her young son named Nick, who had gone missing,
7:21
Speaker 1: and the last place they had been seen was up
7:24
Speaker 1: on Bullyan Bend, and so Rich wondered if maybe there
7:27
Speaker 1: was a body up there, and maybe it was Christine's.
7:30
Speaker 1: And so the next morning, Rich got up early and
7:32
Speaker 1: he headed out to Bullyan Bend, and when he reached
7:34
Speaker 1: the exact spot where Debra had claimed to have seen
7:37
Speaker 1: this dead woman's body, he found a children's shoe, and
7:40
Speaker 1: so he stopped his car, he got out, he picked
7:42
Speaker 1: the shoe up, and he's looking around and he's looking
7:44
Speaker 1: for anything else that's out of the ordinary. But there's
7:47
Speaker 1: nothing on the road. There's no skid marks, there's no
7:49
Speaker 1: other debris, there's no other clothes, there's nothing. And so
7:52
Speaker 1: he walks over to the guardrail that overlooks this very
7:54
Speaker 1: steep embankment and he looks down the other side, and
7:57
Speaker 1: at first all he sees is just trees everywhere, But
8:00
Speaker 1: as he's looking, he thinks he sees more clothing farther
8:03
Speaker 1: down the mountain, and so he climbs over the guardrail
8:05
Speaker 1: and he very carefully maneuvers his way down, and after
8:07
Speaker 1: only a couple of seconds he reaches a clearing in
8:10
Speaker 1: the branches in the trees and he can see down
8:12
Speaker 1: to where the train kind of levels off, and right
8:14
Speaker 1: down there is a smashed up red four door sedan.
8:17
Speaker 1: It was the same type of car that Christine Scubash
8:20
Speaker 1: had been driving when she went missing. And so Rich
8:22
Speaker 1: ran down the mountain, following Debreeze all the way to
8:25
Speaker 1: this wrecked car. He goes around to the driver's side
8:28
Speaker 1: and he looks inside and there in the driver's seat
8:30
Speaker 1: is Christine Scubish and unfortunately she was deceased. And then
8:34
Speaker 1: on the passenger seat is her son, Nicki, and he
8:37
Speaker 1: is alive, but barely. He had gone five days without
8:40
Speaker 1: food or water, and doctors would say when Rich found
8:43
Speaker 1: him he probably only had about one maybe two hours
8:46
Speaker 1: before he would have died as well. Authorities believe Christine
8:49
Speaker 1: fell asleep at the wheel and she drove off that embankment. Initially,
8:53
Speaker 1: Rich believed Deborah must have seen Christine when she was
8:56
Speaker 1: driving through the mountains and saw that woman on the
8:58
Speaker 1: side of the road accident. Christine must have gotten out
9:01
Speaker 1: of her car and then climbed up that embankment and
9:04
Speaker 1: then laid on the road hoping someone would see her,
9:07
Speaker 1: and then when no one stopped for her, she went
9:09
Speaker 1: back down to her car, where she ultimately died. But
9:11
Speaker 1: according to the corner that would have been impossible because
9:15
Speaker 1: when Christine crashed off the road, she died on impact
9:19
Speaker 1: five days before Debra saw that woman on the side
9:23
Speaker 1: of the road, so it could not have been Christine.
9:26
Speaker 1: To this day, no one knows for sure who or
9:28
Speaker 1: what Debora saw on the side of the road, But
9:31
Speaker 1: it is objectively true that rich only investigated Bully and
9:36
Speaker 1: Bend and found Nikki alive because of Debra's police report
9:40
Speaker 1: about this dead woman on the side of the road.
9:43
Speaker 1: And Debra was only on that road because she had
9:46
Speaker 1: had this totally weird, middle of the night urge to
9:49
Speaker 1: suddenly leave a relative's house and drive up into the mountains,
9:52
Speaker 1: something she had never felt before and didn't really know
9:55
Speaker 1: how to explain. So either this is an extremely strange
9:58
Speaker 1: set of circumstances or Nikki had a guardian angel. In
10:06
Speaker 1: early nineteen eighty three, residents of the Cranley Gardens apartment
10:10
Speaker 1: complex in North London began complaining about their drains being
10:13
Speaker 1: clogged up. Initially, their landlord was dismissive and said, oh,
10:17
Speaker 1: it's just an old building, it's old plumbing and that's
10:19
Speaker 1: why it's slow. But eventually the landlord conceded and asked
10:22
Speaker 1: a plumber to come out and have a look, and
10:24
Speaker 1: so on the evening of February eighth, an experienced plumber
10:27
Speaker 1: named Mike came out to Cranley Gardens and after learning
10:29
Speaker 1: what the complaints were, he went around to the side
10:32
Speaker 1: of the building and he opened up a drain cover
10:34
Speaker 1: to have a look inside. As expected, when he shined
10:36
Speaker 1: his light down, he saw wads of hair and napkins
10:39
Speaker 1: and other things kind of mashed together clogging up the pipes.
10:42
Speaker 1: And so he reached in and he began pulling the
10:43
Speaker 1: stuff out and putting it in a bucket right next
10:45
Speaker 1: to him. And then after he had cleared the majority
10:48
Speaker 1: of the obstruction, he reached his arm all the way
10:50
Speaker 1: into this pipe to feel around to see if there
10:52
Speaker 1: was anything in there that he just couldn't see. And
10:54
Speaker 1: at some point as he was reaching, when his arm
10:56
Speaker 1: was almost completely into this pipe. His hand hit a
10:59
Speaker 1: major blockage, and so he moved his fingers around to
11:02
Speaker 1: try to feel what it was, but he couldn't tell.
11:04
Speaker 1: It was something that was fairly soft, but there were
11:06
Speaker 1: some hard things inside of it, like sticks or rods.
11:09
Speaker 1: So he grabbed a handful of this blockage and he
11:12
Speaker 1: pulled his arm back out of the pipe. He opened
11:14
Speaker 1: his hand and what he was holding looked like ground meat,
11:17
Speaker 1: but it wasn't any meat he had ever seen before,
11:19
Speaker 1: and inside of this fleshy substance looked like little bits
11:22
Speaker 1: of bone. Now, Mike had cleared many pipes before, and
11:26
Speaker 1: he had never seen meat be the reason for a blockage,
11:30
Speaker 1: and so this whole situation just seemed really strange, and
11:33
Speaker 1: he decided, you know, it's late, I'll just come back
11:35
Speaker 1: tomorrow with my supervisor so he can see what this
11:37
Speaker 1: is too. So Mike puts the cap back on the
11:39
Speaker 1: drain pipe and he walks out from behind the building,
11:42
Speaker 1: back out towards his truck parked on the road, and
11:44
Speaker 1: as he's walking, two of the residents of this complex
11:47
Speaker 1: come out and they say, hey, did you fix the blockage?
11:49
Speaker 1: You know, what was it? And Mike would say no,
11:51
Speaker 1: he hadn't, and then he just kind of blurted out
11:53
Speaker 1: that there was meat in the pipes that was what
11:56
Speaker 1: was causing the blockage. And then one of these two
11:58
Speaker 1: residents says, well, I bet people are just flushing their
12:01
Speaker 1: Kentucky Fried chicken down the draints. That's what's causing it.
12:03
Speaker 1: And Mike looked at him and he was like, yeah, maybe,
12:06
Speaker 1: and then he just turned around, gott in his truck
12:07
Speaker 1: and he drove away. Early the next morning, Mike and
12:09
Speaker 1: his supervisor came back to Cranley Gardens and they went
12:12
Speaker 1: around to the side of the building. They undid that
12:15
Speaker 1: cap and then Mike reached down inside, expecting to feel
12:18
Speaker 1: this blockage, but where it should have been, there was nothing.
12:21
Speaker 1: Somebody had cleared the pipes, and so Mike and a
12:24
Speaker 1: supervisor are looking at each other and Mike is like,
12:26
Speaker 1: there's no way that cleared on its own. Someone had
12:29
Speaker 1: to have come out here and cleared it. But I
12:30
Speaker 1: don't know why they would have done that and still
12:32
Speaker 1: had us come out. But the men decide, you know what,
12:34
Speaker 1: maybe by chance it did just kind of slip through
12:37
Speaker 1: and cleared itself. So let's just continue the process and
12:40
Speaker 1: make sure each of the apartment buildings their individual pipe
12:43
Speaker 1: is unobstructed, and when they checked these pipes, they found
12:46
Speaker 1: all of them were clear, except for one apartment number
12:49
Speaker 1: twenty three, whose pipe was blocked up with more of
12:51
Speaker 1: this meaty substance. Mike and his partner were already very
12:54
Speaker 1: suspicious of the fact that someone had snuck out here
12:58
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night and cleared the pipe.
13:00
Speaker 1: Probably they didn't know if that happened, but it seemed likely.
13:02
Speaker 1: And now they're finding more of this weird meat substance
13:05
Speaker 1: coming from a particular apartment, and so the whole situation
13:08
Speaker 1: just seemed off, and so they told the landlord that
13:11
Speaker 1: they were not going to touch this. Somebody else had
13:12
Speaker 1: to come out and deal with this, and the landlord,
13:15
Speaker 1: after finding out there was meat jammed in the pipes,
13:18
Speaker 1: got really freaked out and called the police. The police
13:20
Speaker 1: showed up, They pulled this meat substance out of the pipes,
13:23
Speaker 1: and they sent it to a mortuary where a pathologist
13:26
Speaker 1: looked at it and said, this is meat. It's human meat.
13:29
Speaker 1: And in particular, the stuff that was pulled out of
13:31
Speaker 1: Apartment number twenty threes pipes is that of a human
13:35
Speaker 1: neck so the police go back to Cranley Gardens. They
13:37
Speaker 1: go up to apartment number twenty three. They knock on
13:40
Speaker 1: the door, and when the door opens, they're hit with
13:42
Speaker 1: this overwhelming stench of just rotting flesh and standing in
13:46
Speaker 1: the doorway of this apartment, the owner of the apartment
13:49
Speaker 1: is this guy who's in his late thirties early forties,
13:51
Speaker 1: who introduces himself as Dennis Nielsen, and they say, hey, Dennis,
13:55
Speaker 1: can we have a look around your apartment? And he says,
13:57
Speaker 1: you know why? And they say, well, we found human
13:59
Speaker 1: remains in your pipes. And Dennis immediately says, oh, my goodness,
14:03
Speaker 1: I can't believe that. That's horrible. But the police are
14:06
Speaker 1: not buying it, and they say, you know what, Dennis,
14:08
Speaker 1: tell us where the rest of the body is. And
14:10
Speaker 1: at this Dennis suddenly went expressionless, emotionless, and he just
14:13
Speaker 1: turns around and he points into his bedroom and he says,
14:16
Speaker 1: it's in two plastic bags in my closet. And so
14:18
Speaker 1: before the police go into his apartment to go inspect
14:21
Speaker 1: these bags, they say, Dennis, are there any other bodies
14:24
Speaker 1: in your apartment that we should know about? And Dennis
14:27
Speaker 1: sighs and he looks up to the ceiling and says, yeah,
14:30
Speaker 1: there's about fifteen or sixteen here. There's a long story.
14:32
Speaker 1: It goes way back. I'd love to tell it to you.
14:34
Speaker 1: Get the soft my chest, and I'll do it at
14:36
Speaker 1: the police station. So after Dennis was arrested and brought
14:39
Speaker 1: to the station, he told them his horrible story. It
14:42
Speaker 1: had all started five years earlier in nineteen seventy eight,
14:45
Speaker 1: when Dennis was thirty three. He was at a pub
14:47
Speaker 1: having some drinks by himself when a teenager came into
14:50
Speaker 1: the bar and attempted to buy an alcoholic drink, and
14:53
Speaker 1: he was tonight's service, and so Dennis pulled him aside
14:56
Speaker 1: and said, hey, I'd be happy to give you a
14:57
Speaker 1: drink at my apartment. It's right down the road. And
14:59
Speaker 1: the young man, whose name was Steven, was very excited
15:02
Speaker 1: about this and said great, let's go. Once they arrived
15:04
Speaker 1: back and they were up in Dennis's apartment, the pair
15:06
Speaker 1: had lots of drinks and they were having fun and laughing,
15:09
Speaker 1: and then at some point the pair climbed into bed together.
15:11
Speaker 1: The next morning, when Dennis got up, his new friend
15:14
Speaker 1: Steven was still sleeping right next to him, and he
15:16
Speaker 1: had this sudden overwhelming sense of dread, because he knew
15:20
Speaker 1: as soon as Steven woke up, he would see this
15:22
Speaker 1: as a one night stand and he would just leave.
15:24
Speaker 1: He would not stick around and remain friends with Dennis.
15:27
Speaker 1: And Dennis just did not like that idea. He wanted
15:30
Speaker 1: Stephen to stay. And so he looked on the ground
15:32
Speaker 1: next to the bed, and he saw the necktie that
15:35
Speaker 1: Stephen had been wearing was on the ground, and so
15:37
Speaker 1: he got on the ground, he grabbed the necktie. He
15:39
Speaker 1: fashioned it into a noose, and then he climbed back
15:42
Speaker 1: on the bed, got on top of Stephen's chest, and
15:44
Speaker 1: he looped the tie around his neck and then he
15:46
Speaker 1: pulled it as tight as he could, and as soon
15:48
Speaker 1: as it was tight, Dennis would tell police that Stephen
15:51
Speaker 1: came alive, and he began reaching for his neck and
15:53
Speaker 1: kicking Dennis as hard as he could, but he just
15:55
Speaker 1: can't get it off, and at some point, Dennis said,
15:58
Speaker 1: Stephn just seemed to give up. He looked up at
16:00
Speaker 1: Dennis and knew he wasn't going to get this off,
16:02
Speaker 1: and that Dennis was determined to kill him, and so
16:05
Speaker 1: Stephen just allowed himself to go limp and then he
16:07
Speaker 1: slouched over, and as soon as that happened, Dennis said,
16:10
Speaker 1: he relaxed. But as he's looking at Steven, he realized
16:13
Speaker 1: he wasn't dead, he was just unconscious. And so Dennis
16:16
Speaker 1: goes into the kitchen and he gets this huge plastic
16:18
Speaker 1: bucket and he fills it up with water and he
16:20
Speaker 1: sets it in the middle of his kitchen floor. And
16:22
Speaker 1: then he gets a bunch of kitchen chairs and he
16:24
Speaker 1: lines them up like a table right in front of
16:26
Speaker 1: this bucket of water. And then he drags Steven's body
16:29
Speaker 1: into the kitchen and he lays him on his back
16:31
Speaker 1: on these chairs, but make sure his head is not
16:34
Speaker 1: resting on the chair. His head is kind of dangling
16:36
Speaker 1: off the back of these chairs. And then he grabbed
16:38
Speaker 1: that bucket of water and he slid it right underneath
16:41
Speaker 1: Stephen's head. And then Dennis got on top of the chairs,
16:43
Speaker 1: on top of Stephen, and then he pressed the young
16:46
Speaker 1: man's face straight down, so his head went backwards until
16:49
Speaker 1: his mouth and his nose were under the water. And
16:51
Speaker 1: Dennis held him like that until Stephen regained consciousness. But again,
16:56
Speaker 1: he didn't fight it. He knew he was doomed, and
16:58
Speaker 1: after several minutes, the bubbles stopped coming to the surface
17:00
Speaker 1: and Stephen was dead. Dennis pulled his victim off of
17:03
Speaker 1: the chairs. He brought him into the living room and
17:05
Speaker 1: he sat him on a chair, and then Dennis went
17:07
Speaker 1: into the kitchen and he made himself a cup of coffee,
17:10
Speaker 1: and he smoked some cigarettes, and then he just stood
17:12
Speaker 1: in the doorway and looked at Steven's body, and he
17:14
Speaker 1: would tell police it was a very bizarre experience because
17:17
Speaker 1: Steven still looked like he was alive. In fact, Dennis
17:20
Speaker 1: would try talking to him as if he was going
17:22
Speaker 1: to talk back, but obviously he didn't. At some point,
17:24
Speaker 1: Dennis realized, you know, the life he had before he
17:27
Speaker 1: killed Stephen was now over. He had a new life,
17:30
Speaker 1: and he didn't really know how to handle it. And
17:32
Speaker 1: so the first thing he thought to do was to
17:34
Speaker 1: clean Steven. So he took Steven's body and he brought
17:37
Speaker 1: him into the bathroom and he gave him a very
17:39
Speaker 1: long bath, cleaned his body, cleaned his hair, and then
17:42
Speaker 1: afterwards he got him out, he dressed him and put
17:44
Speaker 1: him into his bed, and then Dennis climbed into bed
17:47
Speaker 1: with him and laid with him, and he would tell
17:48
Speaker 1: police as he laid there, he suddenly felt overjoyed. Stephen
17:52
Speaker 1: was not going to leave him. He was going to
17:54
Speaker 1: stay here as long as Dennis wanted him to. After
17:56
Speaker 1: laying with him for some time, Dennis realized he had
17:59
Speaker 1: to find away to hide Steven's body in his apartment
18:03
Speaker 1: so no one could find him. And so he left
18:05
Speaker 1: his apartment and he went to a hardware store where
18:07
Speaker 1: he got an electric knife and a big storage bin.
18:10
Speaker 1: He brought them back to his apartment, and as he
18:12
Speaker 1: was about to cut Stephen up, he just couldn't go
18:14
Speaker 1: through with it, so instead he just climbed into bed
18:16
Speaker 1: and took a nap next to Stephen's body. When he
18:19
Speaker 1: got up again, he moved Steven's body onto the ground
18:21
Speaker 1: in his living room and covered him with a blanket,
18:24
Speaker 1: and then he went and made dinner and then sat
18:26
Speaker 1: in his chair in the living room right next to
18:28
Speaker 1: this body on the ground and watched TV for a while.
18:30
Speaker 1: When he was done watching TV and eating, he looked
18:32
Speaker 1: at the body on the floor and realized, you know,
18:35
Speaker 1: he really hadn't made any progress in terms of hiding
18:38
Speaker 1: him somewhere in his apartment. And that's when he remembered
18:40
Speaker 1: he had a loose floorboard in his apartment, and so
18:42
Speaker 1: he went over to the loose floorboard. He pulled it
18:44
Speaker 1: up and he saw there was a space onto the floors,
18:46
Speaker 1: and so he pulled a couple more boards up, and
18:48
Speaker 1: then he grabbed Steven's body and he attempted to force
18:51
Speaker 1: him down into the space. But by now Steven's body
18:54
Speaker 1: had begun to stiffen up from rigor mortis. Specifically, his
18:57
Speaker 1: arms were outstretched like a y over his head, and
19:00
Speaker 1: so as Dennis is trying to force him down in there,
19:02
Speaker 1: his arms were not allowing him to go down into
19:04
Speaker 1: that small space. So Dennis took Stephen's body and he
19:07
Speaker 1: propped him up against the wall in his bedroom. So
19:10
Speaker 1: the body is against the wall, rigid, standing up with
19:12
Speaker 1: its arms up over its head, and Stephen's eyes were
19:15
Speaker 1: still open. And then after that Dennis just got in
19:18
Speaker 1: bed and fell asleep. So all night this corpse is
19:22
Speaker 1: staring at Dennis in his bed, and then the next
19:24
Speaker 1: morning when Dennis got up, there was Steven still up
19:27
Speaker 1: against the wall with his hands in the air, looking
19:29
Speaker 1: down at him. Dennis grabbed Stephen's body and put it
19:31
Speaker 1: on the ground, and he began yanking and jerking and
19:34
Speaker 1: pulling on each of Stephen's arms until they were pinned
19:37
Speaker 1: down by his side. And then after that Dennis started
19:39
Speaker 1: working on his legs and his hips, and he began
19:41
Speaker 1: contorting him until he was small enough that he could
19:44
Speaker 1: pack him down under his floor. And then once he
19:46
Speaker 1: was under there, he just put the boards on top
19:48
Speaker 1: and went about his daily life. And for the next
19:50
Speaker 1: couple of days he totally forgot about Stephen. But a
19:53
Speaker 1: week after putting him under the floor, Dennis decided he
19:56
Speaker 1: missed Stephen and he wanted to see him again. And
19:58
Speaker 1: so one night he opened up the floor boards. He
20:00
Speaker 1: looked down and there was Stephen, and Dennis would say,
20:03
Speaker 1: it looked like he was dirty. So he pulled him
20:05
Speaker 1: out of the floor and he gave him another bath.
20:07
Speaker 1: And then after he had cleaned Stephen, he'd pulled him
20:10
Speaker 1: out of the water, he'd dried him off, and he
20:11
Speaker 1: put him in the chair, and then Dennis took a
20:14
Speaker 1: bath himself in the same water he had just used
20:17
Speaker 1: to clean Stephen. After a long silk in this tub,
20:19
Speaker 1: Dennis finally got out. He toweled himself off, he redressed Stephen,
20:23
Speaker 1: and then he forced him back onto the floorboards and
20:26
Speaker 1: covered him up again, and he would remain there for
20:28
Speaker 1: the next seven months until Dennis finally decided to dispose
20:31
Speaker 1: of him by burning him in a bonfire outside of
20:34
Speaker 1: their apartment building. And then after the body was completely
20:37
Speaker 1: incinerated and gone, Dennis remembered thinking, I can't believe I
20:40
Speaker 1: just got away with murder, And so he would do
20:42
Speaker 1: it again and again and again, killing at least fifteen
20:46
Speaker 1: young men from North London, all by strangulation or by drowning,
20:50
Speaker 1: or a combination of the two. And after he killed them,
20:53
Speaker 1: he would keep them stashed in his apartment four months
20:56
Speaker 1: at a time, and his closet and his cabinets and
20:58
Speaker 1: his bed under the floors all over his apartment he
21:01
Speaker 1: had these bodies. And while these bodies were in his apartment,
21:04
Speaker 1: he liked to periodically take them out to spend time
21:07
Speaker 1: with them. He would tell police he found corpses to
21:09
Speaker 1: be beautiful. He was fascinated by them. But eventually, in
21:12
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three, he had so many bodies stashed all
21:16
Speaker 1: over his apartment that he knew he really needed to
21:19
Speaker 1: expedite getting rid of them, and so he began cutting
21:21
Speaker 1: them up and trying to force them down his train,
21:23
Speaker 1: which eventually plugged the pipes. And so when Mike the
21:26
Speaker 1: plumber showed up and discovered this meaty substance in the
21:29
Speaker 1: pipes and Dennis overheard him talking about it. That night,
21:32
Speaker 1: after Mike was gone, Dennis had gone outside and attempted
21:35
Speaker 1: to clear the rest of the remains from the pipes,
21:38
Speaker 1: but he wasn't aware there were still remains stuck in
21:40
Speaker 1: the pipe that led to his specific apartment. Dennis Nielsen
21:43
Speaker 1: confessed to killing fifteen young men and attempting to kill
21:46
Speaker 1: at least seven others, and he was sentenced to life
21:49
Speaker 1: in prison. Dennis never showed any remorse in order to
21:51
Speaker 1: show any desire to want to be free again. He
21:54
Speaker 1: actually said he deserved to be in jail for what
21:56
Speaker 1: he did. In twenty eighteen, Dennis Nilssen would die in
21:58
Speaker 1: prison at the age of seventy ten. So that's going
