0:03
Speaker 1: something truly horrific and surprisingly not that many people know
0:07
Speaker 1: about it. But before we get into today's story, if

Speaker 2: All right, let's get into today's story.
0:48
Speaker 1: Before we get started, I want to give a special
0:50
Speaker 1: shout out to Billy Jensen, who is a fantastic true
0:54
Speaker 1: crime investigative journalist who wrote the article for the LA
0:57
Speaker 1: magazine called The Secret Life of Johnny Lewis. That article
1:01
Speaker 1: was used extensively in the making of today's video, So
1:04
Speaker 1: thank you, Billy. Johnny Lewis was only seven years old
1:10
Speaker 1: when he landed his first acting role. Granted it was
1:13
Speaker 1: only a bit part in an obscure escalator safety video.
1:16
Speaker 1: But it was a start from there. Johnny appeared in
1:19
Speaker 1: dozens of commercials, including with Pizza Hut, before someone recognized
1:23
Speaker 1: this kid has real talent, and he earned appearances on
1:26
Speaker 1: the hit TV shows Seventh Heaven, Malcolm in the Middle,
1:29
Speaker 1: and Drake and Josh, which were really big in the
1:31
Speaker 1: late nineties and early two thousands. In two thousand and one,
1:34
Speaker 1: when Johnny was eighteen years old, he had made enough
1:37
Speaker 1: money from acting that he was able to leave his
1:39
Speaker 1: parents' home in North Los Angeles and move into a
1:42
Speaker 1: new home right in Hollywood with a bunch of other
1:44
Speaker 1: up and coming actors and actresses. By two thousand and six,
1:47
Speaker 1: when Johnny was twenty three years old, he was riding high.
1:50
Speaker 1: He had landed several more big TV roles, like a
1:53
Speaker 1: recurring role in the show doc which was very popular
1:57
Speaker 1: in the two thousands, and In two thousand and six,
2:00
Speaker 1: he was dating the mega pop star Katie Perry, and
2:03
Speaker 1: although their romance was relatively short, apparently it was very intense,
2:07
Speaker 1: because Katie would go on to write two songs that
2:09
Speaker 1: were apparently about Johnny. But Johnny's real rise to stardom
2:13
Speaker 1: occurred two years later, in two thousand and eight, when
2:16
Speaker 1: he was cast as the character half Sack on the
2:19
Speaker 1: critically acclaimed motorcycle drama Sons of Anarchy. While the show
2:22
Speaker 1: made him famous and fabulously wealthy, Johnny was growing concerned
2:26
Speaker 1: with the direction the show was taking. He felt like
2:29
Speaker 1: it was becoming too violent. Johnny liked reading poetry and
2:32
Speaker 1: studying philosophy and staying up late drinking tea and playing chess.
2:36
Speaker 1: He did not like acting out scenes of gratuitous violence.
2:40
Speaker 1: It just wasn't who he was. So after being on
2:42
Speaker 1: the show for two seasons very successfully he was a
2:45
Speaker 1: very popular character, he went to the writers and said,
2:48
Speaker 1: you got to write me out of the script. I
2:49
Speaker 1: can't do this anymore. The writers were totally caught off
2:52
Speaker 1: guard and begged him to stay, but he had made
2:54
Speaker 1: up his mind, and so in two thousand and nine,
2:56
Speaker 1: his character was killed off. After leaving Sons of Anarchy,
3:00
Speaker 1: Johnny decided that he wasn't going to pursue any serious
3:02
Speaker 1: acting roles for the time being. Instead, he wanted to
3:05
Speaker 1: focus his time on writing his first novel, which was
3:08
Speaker 1: about this musical genius trying to make his way in
3:10
Speaker 1: the world, and so he started asking around to see
3:13
Speaker 1: if anybody he knew knew of a quiet place he
3:15
Speaker 1: could live and write out of, And his photographer said,
3:18
Speaker 1: I think I know the place. It was called the
3:20
Speaker 1: Writer's Villa, and it was this beautiful house with six
3:23
Speaker 1: bedrooms for rent, right outside of Hollywood. Over the years,
3:26
Speaker 1: it had become a sort of safe haven for up
3:29
Speaker 1: and coming actors and actresses still looking to land their
3:32
Speaker 1: big break. The reason it developed this reputation was because
3:35
Speaker 1: of the owner, Kathy Davis. She was this wonderful woman
3:38
Speaker 1: who really understood how difficult trying to break into Hollywood
3:42
Speaker 1: was for all these people that stayed at her house,
3:44
Speaker 1: and so she would look after them and make them
3:46
Speaker 1: food and offer them rides, and she would stay up
3:48
Speaker 1: late and listen to their frustrations and be a shoulder
3:51
Speaker 1: to cry on if they didn't get the part they wanted.
3:53
Speaker 1: Many of her tenants, who went on to be big
3:55
Speaker 1: Hollywood stars, would later attribute their success at least in
3:58
Speaker 1: part to the time they spent with Kathy at the villa,
4:01
Speaker 1: which they remembered as being therapeutic and soothing. Even though
4:04
Speaker 1: Johnny had already had his big break in the Sons
4:07
Speaker 1: of Anarchy, he loved the idea of living in such
4:09
Speaker 1: a peaceful place that seemed to cater to eccentric artists
4:13
Speaker 1: like himself. So in April of two thousand and nine,
4:16
Speaker 1: Johnny called Kathy and requested a room, and she said absolutely,
4:19
Speaker 1: you can stay on the second floor in the red suite.
4:21
Speaker 1: After moving in, Johnny would tell his friends that the
4:24
Speaker 1: Writer's Villa was just as amazing as he thought it
4:26
Speaker 1: was going to be, and Kathy specifically was just as
4:29
Speaker 1: wonderful as everyone said she was. He actually struck up
4:32
Speaker 1: a friendship with her almost immediately. Everything seemed to be
4:35
Speaker 1: going really well for Johnny in his life until a
4:38
Speaker 1: few months later he found out his girlfriend Diane was pregnant.
4:42
Speaker 1: Although this totally screwed up his plans for his novel,
4:45
Speaker 1: Johnny was really excited about being a father, and so
4:48
Speaker 1: he decided to move out of the villa and in
4:50
Speaker 1: with Diane, who lived nearby, to help take care of
4:52
Speaker 1: their child. Nine months later, on April sixth, twenty ten,
4:56
Speaker 1: Diane gave birth to a healthy little girl named Caula May,
5:00
Speaker 1: and Johnny and Diane fell madly in love with her.
5:02
Speaker 1: But unfortunately, Johnny and Diane's love for each other faded
5:06
Speaker 1: quickly after becoming parents, and before long Johnny had moved
5:09
Speaker 1: out and back him with his parents. Not long after that,
5:12
Speaker 1: Johnny and Diane became embroiled in this really vicious long
5:15
Speaker 1: custody battle over Colome, which ultimately Johnny lost, which was
5:19
Speaker 1: devastating for him. A few months later, in October of
5:22
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, when Johnny was still living with his parents,
5:25
Speaker 1: he decided to take his motorcycle out and just go
5:27
Speaker 1: ride around and clear his head. And so he drove
5:29
Speaker 1: for about two hours to the west of La out
5:32
Speaker 1: into the desert, where he lost control of his fight
5:34
Speaker 1: and he crashed. After getting to the hospital, his injuries
5:37
Speaker 1: were determined to be relatively minor, except they were concerned
5:41
Speaker 1: he might have a head injury. However, after testing negative
5:44
Speaker 1: for a concussion, he was said to be okay by
5:46
Speaker 1: doctors and he was sent home. But when he got
5:49
Speaker 1: home from the hospital, he was not okay. He was
5:51
Speaker 1: a totally different person. Johnny's father, Michael, immediately noticed the
5:56
Speaker 1: change in his son's behavior. He just started acting really
5:59
Speaker 1: weird and a rack, and his thoughts weren't always coherent,
6:02
Speaker 1: and he's really agitated all the time. It was just
6:04
Speaker 1: very obvious that something was off, and it made Michael wonder,
6:08
Speaker 1: perhaps my son did get a head injury from that
6:10
Speaker 1: motorcycle accident and the doctors just missed it. And so
6:14
Speaker 1: Michael scheduled two separate MRIs for Johnny to go to,
6:17
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, Johnny refused to go. Around this time,
6:21
Speaker 1: Johnny's friends began to notice his strange behavior when in
6:24
Speaker 1: December of that year, he was at an acting class
6:27
Speaker 1: and he began speaking in a vaguely British accent, and
6:30
Speaker 1: everybody in the class noticed it, and eventually someone said, hey,
6:33
Speaker 1: you know, why are you doing that? And Johnny was
6:35
Speaker 1: like what, and just kind of shrugged it off and
6:36
Speaker 1: acted like he wasn't doing that. A few weeks later,
6:39
Speaker 1: on the morning of January third, twenty twelve, Johnny was
6:42
Speaker 1: at his parents' house and he was sitting in the
6:44
Speaker 1: kitchen while his mom was making omelets, and Johnny just
6:47
Speaker 1: kind of abruptly says, I'm going to go out for
6:48
Speaker 1: a walk. So he gets up, He's only got his
6:50
Speaker 1: pajamas on, no shoes on. He walks out the door,
6:53
Speaker 1: and as he's walking down the road, he gets maybe
6:55
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen feet away from his parents' house when
6:58
Speaker 1: he hears someone screaming like they're screaming in distress, and
7:01
Speaker 1: he thinks it's coming from the apartment that was right
7:03
Speaker 1: next to his parents' house, and so he breaks into
7:05
Speaker 1: the apartment, but there's no one in the apartment. It's
7:08
Speaker 1: totally vacant. And so as he's in this apartment wondering
7:11
Speaker 1: what's going on, the two men that owned the apartment,
7:14
Speaker 1: they came home and they see Johnny standing there, and
7:17
Speaker 1: they told him he had to leave immediately, and instead
7:19
Speaker 1: of leaving immediately, Johnny grabbed a nearby glass bottle and
7:23
Speaker 1: he charged at them and hit them both over the
7:25
Speaker 1: head with the bottle before they managed to restrain him
7:28
Speaker 1: and hold him down until the police showed up. Johnny
7:30
Speaker 1: claimed he was acting in self defense, but the police
7:33
Speaker 1: didn't believe him, and so they charged him with trespassing, burglary,
7:37
Speaker 1: and assault with the deadly weapon, and they sent him
7:39
Speaker 1: to jail. When Johnny's father was finally able to come
7:42
Speaker 1: to the jail and bail his son out, it had
7:44
Speaker 1: been eight days, and in those eight days, Johnny had
7:47
Speaker 1: been moved from general population to a psych ward because
7:50
Speaker 1: he was banging his head against the inside of his cell,
7:53
Speaker 1: and at one point he had tried to jump off
7:55
Speaker 1: of a balcony, and he was just generally acting unhinged.
7:58
Speaker 1: And so when he was discharged on his paperwork, a
8:01
Speaker 1: doctor at the jail had commented that he thought Johnny
8:04
Speaker 1: at one point must have had some sort of head
8:06
Speaker 1: injury that had made him act this way, and he
8:09
Speaker 1: was definitely suicidal. When Johnny got back to his parents' house,
8:12
Speaker 1: he was an absolute wreck physically, I mean, he had
8:15
Speaker 1: two black eyes and his face was all puffed up
8:18
Speaker 1: from the confrontation he had with those two men in
8:20
Speaker 1: the apartment, and emotionally, he was so distraught that he
8:23
Speaker 1: wouldn't let anyone in his family come near him. He
8:26
Speaker 1: just hold up in his room and just told everyone
8:28
Speaker 1: to stay away. He also became extremely sensitive to light,
8:31
Speaker 1: to the point where he was turning off all the
8:33
Speaker 1: lights in his parents' home, and then when they would
8:35
Speaker 1: eventually just turn them back on again, he would get
8:38
Speaker 1: agitated and turn them all off, and then finally he
8:40
Speaker 1: just disabled his parents' fusebox. But despite Johnny's obvious issues
8:44
Speaker 1: after coming home from jail, over the next few weeks,
8:47
Speaker 1: he did actually seem to be improving to the point
8:50
Speaker 1: where at the end of January, so about a month
8:52
Speaker 1: after he came home from jail, his parents allowed him
8:55
Speaker 1: to move out and go live on his own in
8:57
Speaker 1: Santa Monica, California, about thirty minutes away. But as soon
9:00
Speaker 1: as he was living on his own, his trouble started again.
9:03
Speaker 1: On February tenth, so about a week after moving into
9:06
Speaker 1: this place in Santa Monica, he was arrested for punching
9:09
Speaker 1: some random stranger in the head outside of yogurt shop,
9:12
Speaker 1: but he was ultimately released on twenty thousand dollars bail.
9:14
Speaker 1: A couple of days later, Johnny, fully clothed, just walked
9:18
Speaker 1: into the ocean, and when he was pulled out, he
9:20
Speaker 1: had to be brought to the hospital to be treated
9:21
Speaker 1: for hypothermia. A couple of days after getting out of
9:24
Speaker 1: the hospital, he was arrested again, this time for trying
9:27
Speaker 1: to break into a woman's apartment in Santa Monica. He
9:30
Speaker 1: claimed he thought it was his friend's apartment, but nobody
9:32
Speaker 1: believed him, so he was brought to jail and then
9:34
Speaker 1: released on bail again. After the second arrest in Santa Monica,
9:38
Speaker 1: Johnny's parents finally convinced him to go see a doctor
9:41
Speaker 1: about this potential head injury they thought he got from
9:44
Speaker 1: that twenty eleven motorcycle crash. Even though that jailhouse dock
9:48
Speaker 1: had suggested Johnny had a head injury, he had not
9:51
Speaker 1: officially diagnosed him. So Johnny needed another doctor to officially
9:55
Speaker 1: diagnose his head injury so they could begin to treat it.
9:58
Speaker 1: But the doctor Johnny wound up seeing did not suspect
10:01
Speaker 1: a head injury. Instead, he suspected schizophrenia or bipolar, which
10:05
Speaker 1: are two very serious mental disorders, and so he prescribed
10:08
Speaker 1: some medication to Johnny that would treat both of those disorders,
10:11
Speaker 1: and Johnny was on his way. Johnny refused to take
10:14
Speaker 1: the medication and refused to go see another doctor, and
10:17
Speaker 1: so his condition just continued to get worse. Johnny was
10:20
Speaker 1: still facing serious jail time for the break in and
10:23
Speaker 1: assault against those two men in the apartment next to
10:26
Speaker 1: his parents' home, and so Johnny's lawyer was trying to
10:28
Speaker 1: get a deal done where Johnny would go to a
10:31
Speaker 1: mental health treatment facility for a year instead of going
10:34
Speaker 1: to jail for a year. But Johnny was so confident
10:36
Speaker 1: these charges would just get dropped and he'd be allowed
10:39
Speaker 1: to go back to his life and live the way
10:41
Speaker 1: he wanted to that he fired his lawyer and he
10:43
Speaker 1: represented himself in court, but the charges were not dropped
10:47
Speaker 1: and he was sentenced to one year in prison. However,
10:50
Speaker 1: the jail he was sent to was so overcrowded they
10:52
Speaker 1: reduced his sentence all the way down to only six weeks.
10:55
Speaker 1: When Johnny's father finally came to pick him up from
10:58
Speaker 1: prison on Friday, September twenty first, twenty twelve, Johnny was
11:03
Speaker 1: at an all time low. Even though he had only
11:05
Speaker 1: been in jail for six weeks instead of the year
11:07
Speaker 1: he was supposed to be there, it was clear that
11:10
Speaker 1: amount of time had done an enormous amount of damage
11:12
Speaker 1: to him, and so on the car ride home from prison,
11:15
Speaker 1: Johnny just kind of sheepishly asked his father, you know, hey, Dad,
11:18
Speaker 1: would be possible if you called Kathy Davis at the
11:21
Speaker 1: Writer's Villa and just see if there's any way I
11:24
Speaker 1: can move back in. And Michael's thinking to himself, you know,
11:27
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of that. But the Writer's Villa was
11:29
Speaker 1: the last place Johnny was when his life was still
11:32
Speaker 1: in order. It was probably the last place he was
11:34
Speaker 1: happy and so he probably has attached a lot of
11:37
Speaker 1: fond memories to that place, and so that's a great
11:39
Speaker 1: place for him to go. And so as soon as
11:41
Speaker 1: they got home, Michael called Kathy Davis and explained the
11:44
Speaker 1: situation and said, you know, is there any way he
11:46
Speaker 1: can stay there? And she said absolutely, the red suite
11:49
Speaker 1: is still available. I'll go up and make the bed
11:51
Speaker 1: right now. I can't wait to see him. Johnny stayed
11:53
Speaker 1: with his parents that weekend, and then on Monday, September
11:56
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, he packed up his stuff and he moved
11:58
Speaker 1: back into the villa. Two days later, a seventy year
12:01
Speaker 1: old man named Dan Blackburn, who was actually neighbors to
12:04
Speaker 1: the writer's fill of property, he was looking out his
12:06
Speaker 1: front window at this man who was standing out in
12:09
Speaker 1: the road. He only had on jeans and red shoes.
12:11
Speaker 1: He had no shirt on, and he's very sweaty, and
12:13
Speaker 1: he was just kind of frantically pacing around the road.
12:16
Speaker 1: And he had never seen this guy before, and so
12:18
Speaker 1: he's just kind of poking out behind his curtain watching
12:20
Speaker 1: him to see what he's going to do next. And
12:22
Speaker 1: after about fifteen minutes of this kind of strange pacing
12:25
Speaker 1: in the road. This guy turns and walks directly towards
12:28
Speaker 1: Dan's property, goes right up to the front step and
12:30
Speaker 1: starts knocking in the door. Dan was definitely a little
12:33
Speaker 1: bit concerned, but he shut the curtain. He walked over
12:35
Speaker 1: to the door and he looks out the people, and
12:37
Speaker 1: there's this guy standing there with bright blue eyes that
12:40
Speaker 1: are all wide and he's looking at the people as
12:42
Speaker 1: if he can see through and see Dan, but he can't.
12:45
Speaker 1: And so Dan reaches down and he opens the door
12:48
Speaker 1: just a little bit and he looks out, and the
12:50
Speaker 1: guy outside looks at him and goes, Hi, I'm John
12:52
Speaker 1: I'm your new neighbor. It would turn out John was
12:54
Speaker 1: Johnny Lewis, And so Dan opened the door a little
12:57
Speaker 1: bit farther and he looks at him and he goes, hi, John,
12:59
Speaker 1: nice to meet you. And before the two men could
13:01
Speaker 1: have any sort of conversation, Johnny just abruptly turned around
13:05
Speaker 1: and walked away. And so Dan is totally puzzled by
13:08
Speaker 1: this strange interaction he's just had with Johnny Lewis, and
13:10
Speaker 1: he's watching him as he just walks back to the road.
13:13
Speaker 1: He walks back over and goes inside the villa and disappears,
13:16
Speaker 1: and so Dan kind of shrugs it off. He shuts
13:18
Speaker 1: his door, locks it, and goes back to his morning routine.
13:20
Speaker 1: About thirty minutes later, Dan is doing his own thing
13:23
Speaker 1: in his house when he hears his wife outside screaming
13:26
Speaker 1: for him to come outside, and so Dan runs out
13:28
Speaker 1: the front door. He goes into his driveway, which is
13:30
Speaker 1: between his property and the writer's villa, and he sees
13:34
Speaker 1: his wife is standing on the driveway horrified, pointing up
13:36
Speaker 1: towards the back of their house. He looks down and
13:39
Speaker 1: back near their back deck, Johnny Johnny Lewis is standing
13:43
Speaker 1: on top of the guy that Dan and his wife
13:45
Speaker 1: had hired that day to paint their back deck. Johnny
13:48
Speaker 1: is just raining blows down on the sky. He's got
13:50
Speaker 1: a piece of wood too that he's hitting him with,
13:52
Speaker 1: and the worker is sitting there trying to shield himself.
13:54
Speaker 1: There's blood all over him, and Dan instinctively just runs
13:58
Speaker 1: over to Johnny. Johnny's not seen Dan at the point.
14:00
Speaker 1: Dan gets right up to him and he grabs him
14:02
Speaker 1: by the shoulder and he tries pulling Johnny off. He's
14:04
Speaker 1: screaming at Johnny to stop, but Johnny just seems totally unfazed.
14:08
Speaker 1: He's just destroying this worker. And so finally, after Dan
14:11
Speaker 1: yanks on Johnny hard enough, Johnny jumps up, turns around
14:15
Speaker 1: and levels Dan swear in the face. Dan falls to
14:18
Speaker 1: the ground, and when he looks up, Johnny is just
14:20
Speaker 1: standing over him, looking at him with no expression on
14:23
Speaker 1: his face. It's like he didn't know what he was
14:24
Speaker 1: going to do with Dan next, so he just stood
14:26
Speaker 1: there and stared at him. But Dan wasn't going to
14:28
Speaker 1: waste any time. He jumped up and he clocked Johnny
14:31
Speaker 1: square in the side of the head, but it had
14:33
Speaker 1: no effect on Johnny. He's still just stared at Dan,
14:36
Speaker 1: completely expressionless. And so Dan grabbed a nearby lawn chair
14:40
Speaker 1: and practically broke it over the head of Johnny. But
14:42
Speaker 1: again it had no effect on Johnny. He just stood there,
14:46
Speaker 1: completely expressionless, staring at Dan. And so at this point
14:49
Speaker 1: Dan just grabs the worker, who can barely stand, and
14:52
Speaker 1: he runs back down the driveway. He grabs his wife
14:54
Speaker 1: and they run towards the house to go inside, and
14:56
Speaker 1: the three of them managed to get inside the house,
14:58
Speaker 1: and as they're shutting the big heavy door, Johnny comes
15:02
Speaker 1: bounding up and he gets right in front, and he
15:04
Speaker 1: jams his arm in the space between the door and
15:07
Speaker 1: the wall, so they can't close the door because it's
15:09
Speaker 1: getting stuck on his arm. And so all three of
15:11
Speaker 1: the adults inside, Dan, his wife, and the painter are
15:14
Speaker 1: putting all of their weight on this huge wooden door
15:17
Speaker 1: onto Johnny's arm, and Johnny is just trying to grab
15:20
Speaker 1: them the whole time. And so finally the three of
15:22
Speaker 1: them start raising the door and slamming it as hard
15:25
Speaker 1: as they can on Johnny's arm, and finally, after several
15:29
Speaker 1: hard blows to his arm, Johnny retracted his arm and
15:32
Speaker 1: they were able to shut the door and lock it.
15:34
Speaker 1: And so at this point, Dan's wife and the painter
15:36
Speaker 1: ran around the house closing every window, locking every door. Meanwhile,
15:39
Speaker 1: Dan went to the side window that looked out towards
15:42
Speaker 1: the writer's villa property and he got his phone out
15:45
Speaker 1: and he called nine to one one as he's looking
15:46
Speaker 1: out the door looking for Johnny. And so after he
15:49
Speaker 1: tells nine to one one what's going on and he
15:50
Speaker 1: hangs up, Johnny suddenly just appears running down his driveway
15:54
Speaker 1: as if he's running back towards the back deck, but
15:57
Speaker 1: he stops almost right in front of Dan's window. He
15:59
Speaker 1: turned and he starts running towards the villa property. He
16:02
Speaker 1: jumps over a fence that's at least waist height, just
16:05
Speaker 1: jumps clear over it. And then he gets to this
16:07
Speaker 1: huge wooden fence that surrounded the entire villa property that
16:10
Speaker 1: was at least eight nine ten feet and he very
16:13
Speaker 1: easily just jumps, grabs the top and catapults himself right
16:16
Speaker 1: over the top and then disappeared inside of the villa.
16:19
Speaker 1: Within minutes, the police showed up and they went inside
16:21
Speaker 1: the villa and they could not believe what they found.
16:24
Speaker 1: Based on the evidence, this is what investigators believe happened.
16:27
Speaker 1: After Johnny for the first time, walked up to Dan's
16:29
Speaker 1: property and awkwardly knocked on the door and said, Hi,
16:32
Speaker 1: I'm john I'm your new neighbor. After that, he turned around,
16:35
Speaker 1: and Dan watched him as he left his property and
16:37
Speaker 1: made his way back and went inside the villa. Once
16:40
Speaker 1: Johnny got inside the villa, he made his way up
16:43
Speaker 1: to the second floor and he went into Kathy Davis's
16:45
Speaker 1: room where she was sitting. Now, Kathy most likely turned
16:48
Speaker 1: and saw Johnny standing in the doorway. He's got no
16:51
Speaker 1: shirt on, he's sweating, he looks totally crazed. She probably
16:54
Speaker 1: was not scared. Instead, her motherly instincts kicked in and
16:58
Speaker 1: she probably said, Hey, are you okay? Can I help you?
17:00
Speaker 1: What's going on? And as she probably stood up and
17:03
Speaker 1: made her way over to make sure he was okay, Johnny,
17:06
Speaker 1: for reasons no one understands, proceeded to beat and kick
17:10
Speaker 1: and strangle her. And then when she fell to the
17:12
Speaker 1: ground and was totally helpless, Johnny proceeded to either stomp
17:15
Speaker 1: on her skull repeatedly or he hit her over the
17:18
Speaker 1: head repeatedly with a rusty hammer that was later found
17:21
Speaker 1: in his bedroom. But no matter how Johnny did it,
17:24
Speaker 1: he managed to severely fracture her skull and that's what
17:27
Speaker 1: ultimately killed her. After killing Kathy, Johnny tracked down her
17:31
Speaker 1: beloved cat and killed the cat the same way. Afterwards,
17:34
Speaker 1: Johnny ran out of the villa and that's when he
17:36
Speaker 1: spotted Dan's house painter just sitting outside, and he walked
17:39
Speaker 1: over to him and just began beating him. And just
17:42
Speaker 1: like the attack on Kathy and her cat, this attack
17:45
Speaker 1: on this house painter appeared to have no motive as well.
17:48
Speaker 1: After Dan came outside and managed to fight Johnny off,
17:51
Speaker 1: and then when Dan went back inside the house with
17:53
Speaker 1: his wife and with the painter, Johnny stood outside for
17:56
Speaker 1: a few minutes before running down Dan's driveway and then
17:59
Speaker 1: hopping over the two fences right in front of Dan,
18:01
Speaker 1: and then Johnny disappeared inside of the villa. Once Johnny
18:04
Speaker 1: was in the villa, it's believed he climbed up to
18:06
Speaker 1: the upper patio or onto the roof of the villa itself,
18:10
Speaker 1: and from there he either jumped or fell to his
18:12
Speaker 1: death on the driveway below. His death was officially ruled
18:15
Speaker 1: an accident, not a suicide. After the news broke about
18:18
Speaker 1: what had happened at the Writer's villa, everybody assumed Johnny
18:22
Speaker 1: must have been on some really hardcore drugs. That's the
18:25
Speaker 1: only explanation for why someone would act the way he acted.
18:28
Speaker 1: But when his toxicology report came back, it showed he
18:31
Speaker 1: had absolutely no drugs of any kind, legal or illegal
18:35
Speaker 1: in his system. He was completely sober at the time
18:37
Speaker 1: he committed this horrible crime. Some believe Johnny really did
18:41
Speaker 1: have some undiagnosed head injury from that motorcycle accident, and
18:44
Speaker 1: this head injury is responsible for his violent outbursts. Others
18:48
Speaker 1: disagree and say the head injury had nothing to do
18:50
Speaker 1: with it. Johnny clearly had some undiagnosed mental disorder. Maybe
18:54
Speaker 1: it was schizophrenia, maybe he was bipolar, maybe it was
18:57
Speaker 1: something else, but it was this mental disorder that led
19:00
Speaker 1: to these violent outbursts. But to this day, no one
19:03
Speaker 1: knows for sure why Johnny did what he did. All
19:06
Speaker 1: we know is an innocent woman and her cat were
19:08
Speaker 1: needlessly killed. So that's going to do it. Guys. If
