00:29O caso de potenciais suspeitos overwhelm detectives.
00:32Eles podem ser doctors, eles podem ser advogados, eles podem ser um pai de faculdade de soccer.
00:38Polícia são desesperada para encontrar um killer, hiding em plain sight.
00:43Appearances aren't everything.
00:45Você tem alguém que parece que ele pode ser a normal pessoa,
00:48e ele tem demas que ele não pode simplesmente não conseguir.
00:52Você pode ter que se inscrever no canal?
00:59Em interrogação, a polícia deve confrontar o mal.
01:04Quando você decidiu que você ia matar essa pessoa?
01:07Por que você escolhe?
01:09Você pode ter que se inscrever no canal?
01:11Sifting through unspeakable crimes e dark secrets.
01:15Eu tenho um crime e vou dar.
01:18Eu sou um killer.
01:19Eu tenho três outras pessoas.
01:22O que pode ser revelado apenas quando o mal fala.
01:29O 4º, 2011.
01:47Uma mãe e filha de bicicletas na outskirts de Kansas City, Missouri
01:50fazem um descobrimento distúrbido.
01:54O que é?
01:55O que é?
02:25Detectives look for clues at the scene
02:27to determine if this woman's death was a tragic accident or murder.
02:32There are certain times that you can tell cause of death.
02:36In this case, we weren't real sure.
02:38There did appear to be possible ligature marks on her neck,
02:41so we didn't know if she was strangled.
02:43But one piece of evidence draws detectives' attention.
02:47What's this?
02:48That looks like bleach.
02:53She did appear to have some bleach poured on her.
02:58You could even kind of smell it.
03:00You could see that her clothing had been bleached or discolored.
03:04We figured at that point that someone is trying to cover something up
03:08or trying to cover up evidence.
03:09Detectives find one other potential clue at the scene,
03:12a size 11 men's canvas shoe.
03:15It was right next to her body,
03:17and there wasn't a whole lot of other things around her at that point.
03:22Was that shoe already there?
03:24Was it just trash in the ditch?
03:26Did it mean something?
03:27But it had bleach on it as well.
03:30Little bitty spots of bleach.
03:33Whoever's put her there, that's their shoe.
03:36We felt pretty good that the shoe was part of the scene.
03:45A medical examiner will officially determine cause of death.
03:49But detectives convinced the details add up to murder begin their investigation.
03:53We get confirmation through fingerprint ID.
03:58She had several reports in our system.
04:01The victim is a 40-year-old Kansas City resident named Tamara Sparks.
04:05She is known to local law enforcement.
04:08She was a known prostitute on what we have called Independence Avenue in our city,
04:14which is a high prostitution area.
04:17We knew she frequented the avenue and had some previous prostitution arrest and contact.
04:23For detectives, Tamara's record of prostitution doesn't change the fact that she's now a victim.
04:35A lot of things happened in life for them to be in that position.
04:39It might have been circumstance.
04:41It might have been something that they said,
04:43I have to do this to survive.
04:45But the fact remains, they're also a human being,
04:47and no one should be killing them.
04:48Tamara's lifestyle does present certain challenges for the investigation.
04:56It won't be easy to determine the last person she was with before she died.
05:00A lot of those girls on the avenue kind of bounce around from location to location.
05:06They stay at different places.
05:08They interact with different people.
05:09This is about the murder of one of the ladies who works out here.
05:13We don't know anyone or about anything.
05:15So if you're not charging me, I got places to be.
05:18At the beginning of the investigation, they didn't want to talk to us
05:21or didn't feel comfortable talking to us and telling us about what they were doing
05:24or what any of their associates or friends are doing.
05:27A lack of trust between police and those working on the street
05:31makes developing leads difficult.
05:41Lots of times women have information that they want the police to have,
05:44but they're afraid to go themselves.
05:46Chris Wade with the Justice Project has made her life's work
05:49helping women on the streets of Kansas City, including Tamara.
05:54I'm Chris.
05:55Nice to meet you.
05:56Hi.
05:58I met her in the street on outreach down on,
06:02I believe we were on St. John Avenue when we met her.
06:05That was kind of her little area.
06:10Here you go.
06:14Thank you.
06:15I work with women and girls trying to help them better their lives,
06:19get off the streets, get into housing, get into treatment,
06:21get mental health care, whatever they happen to need.
06:23I work for an organization that helps women like you.
06:28She was 39, 40 years old, in and out of the life for a while.
06:33She wanted to get out, but wanting to and doing it are two different things.
06:37Despite having had a close relationship over the years,
06:40Chris doesn't recall any regular clients who might be suspects in Tamara's murder.
06:44Forensic technicians have more luck developing evidence.
07:00Tamara's clothes and the shoe found at the crime scene are both processed for DNA evidence.
07:05Inside the shoe, there was a mixture of male and female DNA,
07:09but they didn't know who the DNA belonged to.
07:12Police check the DNA profiles against a database of criminals and get no matches.
07:19They have a completely unknown killer on their hands.
07:23What's more, when the autopsy report comes back, investigators are in for a shock.
07:29The M.E. ruled her death an accident due to overdose, narcotics overdose.
07:35Officially, Tamara's death is not a homicide.
07:39They're saying she OD'd by the side of the road.
07:42It's not uncommon for women to die of drug overdose in a prostitution incident,
07:47and their date will get scared and dump them.
07:49She could have been with a person that had picked her up.
07:54She overdoses and dies.
07:56That person panics.
07:57What do I do?
07:59The official ruling of Tamara's cause of death doesn't sit right with investigators.
08:07I wasn't surprised that she had narcotics in her system,
08:10but I was surprised that her death was an overdose.
08:14Bleach pulled over her body the way she was positioned, you know, on the side of the ditch.
08:19How about the marks on the neck?
08:22Possible ligature marks on her neck, it looked to me to be a homicide.
08:27For the medical examiner, the evidence doesn't conclusively add up to murder.
08:31But the bleach, the shoe, the marks on Tamara's neck, all nag at Detective Taney.
08:38Okay, boys.
08:42They refuse to drop the investigation.
08:44Their instincts tell them to continue canvassing people living in the area near where Tamara's body was found.
08:51Good morning.
08:53I'm Detective Niemeyer with the Kansas City Police Department.
08:55They thought they saw a pickup truck leaving the area at a high rate of speed.
08:59But there was no suspect description, and no one saw anybody dumping.
09:04So we didn't have any good suspects developed, and there wasn't any additional credible information coming in.
09:10After five months with no new leads, the case is classified as inactive.
09:16I couldn't go home and not think about it.
09:18I mean, it did still seem suspicious to me.
09:20Still thought it could be a homicide.
09:22Detectives worry a killer has gotten away with murder.
09:36August 21st, 2012.
09:38Police in Kearney, Missouri are notified of a body found on the side of a road.
09:43What we have is the body of a female that is lying in the ditch area, partially dressed, and bleach had been poured on the body.
09:58From the looks of things, somebody had obviously dragged her and put her there.
10:03The victim is identified as Nicoline Nikki Reed, a 24-year-old from Kansas City.
10:10Police learn she worked as a prostitute.
10:13Her death catches the attention of detectives in Kansas City, who had investigated the death of Tamara Sparks not even a year before.
10:23Both victims were placed on the side of the road.
10:26Clothing is in the same, very similar.
10:28They both appeared to have bleach had been poured on them.
10:31Very similar to the first scene that we had.
10:35Now we're thinking, uh-oh.
10:37We may have two different victims with the same killer.
10:42It is possible who was a serial killer.
10:46Yeah, I don't like what I did.
10:49I just, I thought about it so long.
10:53And I just want to be good just to do it.
10:56Just to, you know, think about it anymore.
11:00Yeah, when you say you've thought about it so long, what specifically did you think about it?
11:03Just to hurt people, you know, just to hurt people, or to end their life.
11:12End their life.
11:12Well, these are the girls that we're investigating.
11:31You know, they're the best.
11:34I was thinking, yeah, I'm going to help.
11:35Sure.
11:35Okay.
11:36Um, so, so I wanted to show you the pictures to see if you were familiar with them, or, you know,
11:42between them before.
11:43Ten months after the death of Tamara Sparks, the body of 24-year-old Nikki Reed is found at another crime scene that looks eerily familiar.
12:00She was also placed on the side of a road near a ditch.
12:08She also had what appeared to be bleach poured over her body.
12:14You couldn't really tell on her neck area if there was anything to lead you to believe she'd been strangled, or what was the cause of death.
12:20It's kind of like, go back to the very beginning.
12:22Are these two cases connected?
12:23Detectives begin searching Nikki's life for clues to her death.
12:34Miss Reed, she was basically living on the streets.
12:38She was a pistol, and, um, you can really see it in her face, I think.
12:44This picture kind of captures that little look.
12:48When we met Nikki, she was in foster care, in and out of foster care.
12:52It's not uncommon for people who age out of foster care, or people who run away from foster care,
12:58to end up in the streets and, uh, falling into the street life and prostitution.
13:08Like Tamara, Nikki also struggled with addiction.
13:13But while Tamara's death was initially ruled an overdose,
13:16the medical examiner on this case immediately says Nikki was murdered.
13:20Her case was ruled a homicide from the beginning.
13:25Detectives wonder if the similarities are just a coincidence,
13:29until they get the report back from forensics.
13:32DNA from Nikki's body matches DNA from the shoe found next to Tamara Sparks.
13:38The same person was at both crime scenes, less than 15 miles apart.
13:43Female victims being placed on the side of rural roads.
13:55We felt like there were a good possibility we may see another victim.
13:58He wasn't going to stop.
14:00So we wanted to get our suspect in custody before we had another homicide on our hands.
14:04Sergeant Doug Niemeyer is put in charge of a task force.
14:13Police from Kansas City and Kearney begin working the two deaths as one case.
14:18I basically put together the former homicide detectives, plus Taney, who was still in homicide.
14:27And then I always make sure I have a crime analyst.
14:31I took them off-site from headquarters, and we have another facility I took them to.
14:35And that's when we began.
14:36We began the—we began looking at both cases.
14:40So at that point in time, Kansas City joined—we joined a task force with Kansas City.
14:48Kearney PD did.
14:49And we combined our efforts to try and find this person.
14:52Because, again, time started to be a crucial thing,
14:55because we don't know if this person's getting ready to hit again or has hit again,
14:58and we just don't know it yet.
14:59So the task force was formed, and now we're working these leads all together.
15:06I always like working for Niemeyer.
15:07I mean, when he was my sergeant when I first got to homicide, he brought me there.
15:13I've learned a lot from him.
15:15He's very positive.
15:17He's, you know, he believes in teaching detectives the job, and he spends the time to do that.
15:25They build a profile of the killer,
15:27someone they believe must be familiar with the area where Tamara and Nikki worked and died.
15:32We felt it was someone who frequented the avenue, picked up prostitutes,
15:38and then figured it was his opportunity to do what he did.
15:42Independence Avenue was kind of in the downtown of Kansas City.
15:46Both of the bodies were discovered 15, 20 minutes north of Independence Avenue.
15:50So that's why we really had a strong feeling that he had ties to the Northland
15:54and would be familiar with that area.
15:57So from these two murders, we've got a zone.
16:01We drew a circle.
16:02Here's the last place my person was seen.
16:04This is where they were found.
16:05These are some of the other factors involved.
16:07We drew a cone and said, we're going to focus our attention in this area.
16:10Police zero in on one part of Kansas City, but the suspect list remains wide open.
16:17The killer, they believe, could be any of the men picking up women on Independence Avenue,
16:22or Trix, as they're known on the street.
16:29Here's something that people who have never been involved in the world of prostitution need to understand,
16:35that Trix come in all shapes, sizes, forms, demographics.
16:40They can be doctors.
16:42They can be lawyers.
16:43They can be a soccer dad.
16:46They can be from the religious community.
16:48They can be anybody.
16:51Unfortunately, these ladies come into contact with several different people,
16:55all walks of life.
16:58But one of the unique things and one of the resources that Kansas City had in their crime lab was
17:04that if we got a pretty good lead on somebody, we could do what they call a buckle swab
17:08and do a swab, which is a cot swab in their mouth, and send that in for a DNA comparison.
17:16And if they didn't match up, there was no need to go any further with that lead,
17:21and we could go anywhere else we wanted.
17:24From the very beginning of this, we felt like we were going to get our suspect.
17:27It was just, we had to find the right, you know, talk to the right person,
17:32or, you know, we would eventually get there.
17:34But there were some ups and downs.
17:37Police don't know who the killer is,
17:40but the possibility he will continue to kill is terrifyingly real.
17:48For months, police are faced with thousands of suspects, but no leads.
17:53Until they get a tip from a woman who says she had a harrowing encounter
17:57with someone who tried to kill her.
18:00She'd been taken off into Penns Avenue.
18:02She'd been placed in a truck.
18:04She'd been driven even farther north than Kearney.
18:08She had passed out.
18:09I think maybe someone put something over her mouth.
18:13She'd been dropped off on the side of the road, but she lived through it.
18:16So we thought maybe we had a living victim.
18:18With the exception of Bleach, the woman's story fits the M.O. of Tamara and Nikki's killer,
18:24and she gives police more details.
18:27She said it was an older white male driving like a white pickup truck
18:31with, you know, this colored door or some stripe on the side or something like that.
18:37Detectives immediately get a list of all white pickup trucks in the area.
18:42It was astronomical.
18:44After the initial shock of saying, okay, we have 29,000 white trucks,
18:49and that was only in our targeted area,
18:52each detective got a list, and it was like, go out and look.
18:59We started driving around looking for these types of trucks,
19:02and if anything stood out, and so if we came across a truck that was like that,
19:07we would get as much information as we could.
19:09So I need to speak with you for a minute.
19:20What's the matter?
19:22One of the patrol officers at the time had stopped a truck on the avenue
19:26that matched the description of the, you know, the suspect,
19:30an older white male driving a white pickup truck.
19:33He was able to get the license plate off of that truck.
19:35We knew it was someone that frequented the avenue
19:37who attempted to pick up prostitutes,
19:39so we followed up on that,
19:41and then we were able to get some DNA from him.
19:44This is necessary?
19:46It's necessary.
19:46You're going to have to come with me right now.
19:50Fine.
19:55Detectives run the man's DNA.
19:57We felt pretty confident.
19:59It looked good from the information that we had.
20:03Hey, Doug.
20:04Yeah?
20:04It's not a match.
20:06Nothing's coming up.
20:08They learn it's not a match to the samples found at the crime scenes.
20:12I mean, you work that hard on these cases,
20:15and you feel like, okay, you feel really good.
20:17You feel like you're going to get them,
20:18and then all of a sudden, it's just kind of a kick in the gut.
20:23Okay, if we don't catch this guy soon, he's going to kill again.
20:26What are we supposed to do?
20:27The task force, now in its fifth month, is running out of resources.
20:32Without a break, the murders of these two women may go unsolved.
20:36So we shake things up a bit.
20:38Sergeant Doug Niemeyer decides to take a massive gamble.
20:42Besides the people that were working on the case,
20:45there's only one person who knows their shoes missing.
20:47And it's my job to find them.
20:50Police say they think one person killed two women
20:53who worked as prostitutes in Kansas City.
20:55But there are certain things that they want you to look for
20:58to help them find this killer.
21:00Law enforcement turns to the public for help
21:03and reveals their best evidence.
21:05I'm going to shoot.
21:07It was the piece of evidence that linked the two cases together through DNA.
21:10We're told that this is very unique
21:13and could be key to cracking open this case.
21:16But will it be enough to stop a killer
21:18before he claims another victim?
21:21I have nothing personally in this prostitutes.
21:26Okay.
21:27It's not...
21:27It's not like you're angry.
21:28I'm not angry at them.
21:29Okay.
21:30It's just more or less that they're easier to learn.
21:34Yeah.
21:35Okay.
21:40After the murders of Tamara Sparks and Nikki Reed
21:57just one year apart,
21:59police know a killer is at large.
22:02Do we have a serial killer?
22:03I don't want another victim.
22:06I don't want another victim.
22:07But as lead after lead goes nowhere,
22:13investigators turn to the public to prevent another slaying.
22:17These two women were mothers.
22:26They're family members to someone.
22:29And they're our victims.
22:31They warn a killer has already claimed two lives.
22:35With this, it was going to be,
22:36yeah, you're going to get some tips.
22:38But now you have an entire metropolitan area
22:41that is concerned.
22:42But the public needed to know.
22:43We needed a tip.
22:45There are now more than a dozen police officers
22:49and departments that are working on this case right now.
22:52Ultimately, they need your help to find a truck
22:55as well as a shoe and a murderer.
22:58At the press conference,
23:01police reveal the size 11 men's shoe
23:04found next to the body of Tamara Sparks.
23:07Investigators hope the shoe is something
23:09a friend or family member of the killer
23:11might notice is missing.
23:14We were kind of hoping that maybe
23:15it would bring some red flags to a girlfriend
23:17or a wife or anybody that,
23:18hey, where are these shoes?
23:19We're told that this is very unique
23:21and could be key to cracking open this case.
23:24The shoe was bought in 2010
23:26and was found at the first murder scene.
23:31But the move could backfire,
23:33using up manpower on tips that go nowhere,
23:36and give the killer an inside look
23:38at the efforts to find him.
23:39That was pretty risky,
23:43letting the suspect know we have it,
23:45whereas, you know,
23:46before he may not have known it.
23:47Now the killer's seen it,
23:48we got that shoe,
23:49he's now thinking,
23:50okay, what else do they know?
23:55Only hours after the press conference,
23:57the gamble pays off.
24:02Detective McIntyre.
24:03I got a phone call from my lieutenant
24:05who said this is what we've discovered,
24:08that the lead has come in.
24:10Got some.
24:12A man calls police
24:13about a night out with a friend
24:14and a conversation
24:15that now seems particularly chilling.
24:19Did he explain why?
24:20There was a night
24:21where they're out drinking
24:22and just made a comment of,
24:24what would you say if,
24:25you know, I told you I killed a prostitute?
24:28He even described using the bleach.
24:31That looks like bleach.
24:33He hadn't told anybody about bleach.
24:36The tipster gives the name
24:37of his friend,
24:39a 27-year-old Kearney, Missouri native
24:41and father of two,
24:43Derek Richardson.
24:46He was definitely not someone
24:47who we thought fit our profile,
24:51not the person we were,
24:53the physical description
24:54of a person who we thought
24:55we were looking for
24:55at the beginning of the investigation.
24:57Police pick up Richardson
25:07and bring him to the precinct
25:08to answer some questions.
25:10We've just got to go through
25:11a little bit of formalities here,
25:13okay?
25:13Not a big deal.
25:14Can you,
25:15you can read okay?
25:17Yes, sir.
25:17Detectives ask their suspect
25:19to read his rights aloud.
25:20We're being asked any questions.
25:23I've been told my rights
25:23remain silent.
25:24Anything I can and will
25:25be used against me
25:26in court.
25:28Do you understand that?
25:29Yes, sir.
25:30Then,
25:30they make small talk
25:31with Richardson
25:32for nearly an hour and a half.
25:35I was trying to get him
25:36to talk and relax,
25:37get just comfortable
25:38with talking to us,
25:39because later in the interviews
25:40when some of the questions
25:41are going to come out,
25:42he's not going to be
25:43real comfortable with.
25:44With Richardson at ease,
25:45detectives turn the conversation
25:47to Tamara and Nikki.
25:49Okay.
25:50Well,
25:51these are the girls
25:51that we're investigating.
25:53You know,
25:54they're deaf
25:54because they're dead now.
25:56So,
25:56that's what we're,
25:58that's the investigation
25:59we're doing.
26:00All right?
26:01So,
26:03like I said,
26:04your name has come up
26:05and possibly being involved
26:07and we just want to talk
26:09to you about that
26:09because,
26:10you know,
26:11I'm in the alley hole.
26:14They quickly established
26:15that Richardson
26:15knows the area
26:16where Tamara and Nikki
26:18worked as prostitutes
26:19because his daughter's
26:20grandparents lived nearby.
26:22Yeah.
26:22Have you ever been
26:24on the avenue
26:24for anything else
26:25other than just
26:26going to
26:27a grandparent's house?
26:30No,
26:30I,
26:30I've seen those girls
26:33and,
26:33you know,
26:36they're kind of very well.
26:38Detectives show Richardson
26:39the photos of Tamara
26:40and Nikki
26:41and watch his reaction.
26:42don't recognize her?
26:47No.
26:47Okay.
26:49Do you recognize her?
26:52No.
26:53Okay.
26:54Never seen either
26:54one of those girls?
26:55Yeah.
26:56Okay.
26:57Um,
26:58never been around them
26:59or close to them
27:00or know who they are
27:01or anything like that?
27:02So you'll notice
27:04when he's looking there
27:06at those photos,
27:07he's,
27:08he's no before
27:08he's ever even looking at them.
27:10He's already,
27:10no,
27:11no,
27:11no.
27:12So he wants to stay away
27:13from that.
27:13He wants distance
27:14from those photos.
27:16That's what I took from it.
27:17What do you think
27:18about what happened to them?
27:20Sure.
27:21Yeah.
27:22At no time during that time
27:23did he ever say,
27:24I didn't,
27:24I'm not responsible
27:25for those girls' death.
27:26I didn't,
27:27I didn't do anything to them.
27:28He never says that.
27:29Matter of fact,
27:30and when I say,
27:31you know,
27:31your name has come up
27:32in the investigation,
27:33he shakes his head,
27:34you know,
27:34kind of confirms
27:36with physical,
27:37um,
27:38demeanor,
27:39yes,
27:39but,
27:40you know,
27:41doesn't say,
27:41well,
27:41why would my name come up?
27:42How come?
27:43You know,
27:43never ask that question.
27:44Police believe
27:47Richardson's behavior
27:48suggests he knows
27:49more than he's saying,
27:51but the only way
27:52to confirm it
27:52is with DNA.
27:54We don't want to just
27:55keep pressuring him
27:56to where he shuts down,
27:57but we were anxious
27:58to get his DNA
28:00and get it compared
28:01to confirm
28:02that this is our suspect.
28:03Without a match,
28:05this lead is just
28:06another dead end.
28:07We've interviewed
28:08like 50 people.
28:09All those 50 people
28:11we've gotten
28:12local swabs from,
28:13so I would like
28:14to just,
28:15if it's okay with you,
28:15get your muscle swab
28:16as well.
28:17That's all right.
28:17Do you?
28:20Just like a,
28:21like a swab
28:22of the inside of your mouth?
28:24It's a free DNA.
28:25Yeah.
28:25Okay.
28:30Detectives finally
28:30have the DNA swab
28:32that could link a killer
28:33to the deaths
28:34of Tamara Sparks
28:35and Nikki Reed.
28:36But even if
28:37Derek Richardson
28:38is the man
28:39whose DNA
28:39was found
28:40at both crime scenes,
28:41it could take
28:42a lab weeks
28:43to confirm it.
28:43Detectives have
28:45just hours
28:46before Richardson
28:47can walk free
28:48and potentially
28:49kill again.
28:53If you have evidence
28:54that leads you
28:55to believe
28:55that a person
28:55has committed a crime,
28:57then you can actually
28:58pick them up
28:59and bring them in
29:00and you have
29:0124 hours
29:01to complete
29:02your investigation
29:02to the point
29:03you either charge them
29:04or let them go.
29:06And that's what he was,
29:08that's what we did
29:08with Mr. Richardson.
29:09Richardson admits
29:10he's familiar
29:23with the area
29:24where Tamara
29:25and Nikki worked
29:26as prostitutes.
29:27But to charge him
29:28in their deaths
29:29in the next 24 hours,
29:31they'll need
29:31a confession.
29:33They believe
29:34a man's shoe
29:35found near the body
29:36of Tamara's sparks
29:37is the key
29:38to getting one.
29:43What size
29:43is that a shoe
29:44you wear?
29:44What?
29:45What about it?
29:46Yeah.
29:48Well, so you should
29:49have a picture
29:49of the shoe here
29:50and see if you
29:51recognize the shoe.
29:55Do you recognize that?
29:57No.
29:58Ever had a pair
29:59of shoes like that?
30:01I have a pair of shoes
30:02still under that.
30:03He says that
30:08he has shoes
30:09similar to him.
30:10So my thought was
30:12I wanted to see
30:13how he thought
30:14this shoe
30:14got there
30:15at the scene.
30:15He's got stress
30:32and it's showing
30:33and at every point
30:35that he's being talked
30:36to, he actually
30:37has to go to the bathroom
30:38or he wants a drink
30:40or he wants a cigarette
30:41and you'll notice
30:43that you can just see
30:44in his body language
30:44his stress level
30:45goes way up.
30:46We're talking to you
30:47because we have
30:48a reason to talk to you.
30:50All right.
30:51Okay.
30:52And one of those reasons
30:54that we're talking to you
30:55is because of the shoe.
30:57Okay.
30:58Okay.
30:59So,
31:01I know you know
31:02a little bit more
31:02about the shoe
31:03than what you're telling us.
31:06Take a bathroom break.
31:08Mm-hmm.
31:09You need to take a bathroom
31:10break now?
31:11Yeah.
31:11Okay.
31:11It's another bathroom break
31:13but, okay,
31:14we'll step back.
31:15We'll go ahead
31:16and let him have that.
31:17Take baby steps
31:18just to get back
31:18into the questioning again.
31:20Ease back into it.
31:22We don't want to lose him
31:23and for him to say,
31:24oh, look,
31:25I'm done talking to you
31:26because he could do that
31:27at any minute.
31:36After every break
31:38Richardson requests
31:39and is granted,
31:40detectives continue
31:41to return to the shoe.
31:42He can tell this is a point
32:02he's trying to think
32:03of other things
32:03to, you know,
32:05distance himself
32:05from the shoe
32:06a little bit.
32:07He didn't want
32:18to be connected
32:18to those shoes
32:19in any way,
32:19shape, or form.
32:20But,
32:21as he's talking,
32:22we're heading
32:22the right way.
32:25Despite Richardson's denial,
32:27detectives can sense
32:28he's starting to crack.
32:29You can see him
32:33fidgeting and moving
32:35and things like that.
32:36It was just a matter
32:37of time.
32:38So you knew it was
32:39just a matter
32:39when he's going
32:40to let himself
32:41tell you that he did it.
32:42Do you know anything
32:43about that shoe
32:43if he had those?
32:48Well, that shoe there
32:50is also the size 11.
32:53Okay.
32:54It's the size 11.
32:55She looks like
32:55the same size as you were.
32:57Okay.
32:58And the reason why
33:03I asked you that,
33:05like I said before,
33:07is because,
33:09you know,
33:09he didn't get here
33:12by chance.
33:13Okay.
33:14Like I said,
33:14he gets tested.
33:17All right.
33:18And,
33:19I'm going to sit around.
33:26We're getting close,
33:27man.
33:27When he asked
33:31for the cigarette,
33:32I figured,
33:32okay,
33:33now we're going
33:34to get somewhere.
33:35Oh, so he took
33:36the cigarette,
33:37took a drag
33:38on the cigarette.
33:44Finally,
33:45Derek Richardson
33:46admits that
33:47the shoe linked
33:48to the bodies
33:48of Tamara Sparks
33:49and Nicky Reed
33:51belongs to him.
33:52That was the point
33:53where,
33:54okay,
33:55it's all over now.
33:55Now you're just going
33:56to tell us
33:56about how you did it.
33:58Now,
33:58to prove beyond
33:59a shadow of a doubt
34:00that Richardson
34:01is the killer,
34:02detectives must get
34:03a full account
34:04of his crimes.
34:06Derek,
34:06I understand,
34:07man.
34:07Like I said before,
34:09everybody's got,
34:10everybody's got
34:11a story to tell.
34:12And this is,
34:13we're here
34:13to listen to you.
34:14But as he continues
34:15to talk,
34:17Richardson's confession
34:18shocks even
34:19these hardened detectives.
34:21Maybe,
34:22did she do something
34:23to make you mad
34:24or did...
34:25Well,
34:28I wanted to go back
34:29to my place,
34:31did,
34:32and...
34:34um...
34:38went to my room
34:39and I checked her.
34:44with Paula Zahn,
34:49Thursday,
34:50on ID.
35:04After several hours
35:05of interrogation,
35:0727-year-old
35:08Derek Richardson
35:09admits to owning
35:10a key piece of evidence
35:11that links the murders
35:12of two women
35:13who worked as prostitutes
35:14in Kansas City, Missouri.
35:36Richardson even admits
35:37to being at the crime scene
35:39where the body
35:39of Tamara Sparks
35:40was found.
35:42I was kind of
35:43called off guard
35:44right then
35:44and I was trying
35:46to hold back
35:47any emotion
35:48I had.
35:48I had to kind of
35:49collect my thoughts
35:49for a minute
35:50and then go into
35:51details about,
35:52you know,
35:52the homicide itself.
35:54You said you went
35:55to your house?
35:57Mm-hmm.
36:01Was your...
36:02were you married
36:03at the time?
36:03Mm-hmm.
36:04And what was your wife?
36:06I don't know.
36:07I think she was...
36:08she broke her
36:09at the sister's.
36:10Okay.
36:11Evidence can tell us
36:12that, yes,
36:12this is the guy
36:13who did it.
36:13Evidence can tell us,
36:14yeah, he was there.
36:16But evidence doesn't
36:17tell us why he did it
36:19or how he did it.
36:20And those are the
36:20blanks that we're
36:21trying to fill in.
36:27Well, I wanted to go back
36:28to my place,
36:31give,
36:33and,
36:34um,
36:38go to my room,
36:40and I have a checker.
36:41and I have a checker.
36:42Checker.
36:47Checker with my hands
36:48until she passed out,
36:50and then
36:50probably another
36:51five more minutes,
36:53and I
36:53put the belt around her
36:54and pull it tight
36:57and hold it
36:58for about
36:59every ten minutes.
37:05And,
37:06um,
37:07put her up
37:08in my trunk,
37:09and go back
37:12to that area
37:13and go out
37:15and ditch.
37:18Maybe,
37:18did she do something
37:19to make you mad
37:20or did...
37:21or did she do something
37:22or did she do something?
37:22No.
37:25We're trying to,
37:25you know,
37:26get him to tell
37:27what happened,
37:28and,
37:28you know,
37:29certain things
37:29can kind of,
37:31you know,
37:32trigger him
37:33to stop talking
37:33and whatever that may be.
37:35So, yeah,
37:35I didn't want to act like,
37:37you know,
37:37show any type of emotion
37:38myself to where,
37:40I mean,
37:40you did that at home,
37:41you did,
37:41I mean,
37:42why would you take her home
37:43or anything like that?
37:44I just,
37:44you know,
37:44try to make it okay.
37:46Yeah,
37:46make it seem like we,
37:48you know,
37:48the deadhead
37:49didn't surprise us.
37:52Throughout the majority
37:53of the whole
37:54interview with him,
37:56um,
37:57he pretty much
37:58kept the same emotion.
37:59I mean,
38:00it was just kind of,
38:01okay,
38:01this is what I did.
38:03Did you drive around
38:04for a while?
38:04Would you possibly have?
38:06Okay.
38:07Were you scared
38:08at that point?
38:09Yeah.
38:11Do you remember
38:12what she was wearing?
38:14How did you say
38:18you got in a hurry?
38:20What caused you
38:20to get in a hurry?
38:22Just being out
38:23and being out.
38:24Okay.
38:25Not calling or anything
38:26going by or you just,
38:27okay.
38:28Just wanted me
38:28to get out of there.
38:29Just wanted me
38:30to get out of there?
38:30Okay.
38:32Where'd you go after that?
38:37Even for detectives
38:38who have been anxious
38:39to hear the truth,
38:41Derek Richardson's confession
38:42is terrifying.
38:44What's chilling
38:45is that he doesn't
38:47show any,
38:48really show any emotion
38:49at all.
38:50And that is,
38:51um,
38:51that is pretty disturbing.
38:54After the murder,
38:56Richardson says
38:57he waits to see
38:58what the police will do.
38:59He was living a fantasy.
39:18So for him,
39:20it was like waking up
39:21for a dream
39:21and not know
39:22if you're still awake
39:22or not.
39:23You know,
39:24because it just didn't happen
39:26until somebody
39:27acknowledges it.
39:29Ten months later,
39:30he picks up
39:31Nicky Reed.
39:36I did the belt again.
39:38The belt was hard.
39:39about ten minutes again.
39:46And so we're downstairs
39:50through the trunk.
39:52Since I got out of the trunk,
39:53I washed the seats.
39:54and, um,
39:56I thought the ranch
39:57I stayed
39:58is totally
40:00had been
40:00choked
40:01on the stairs
40:02and stuff.
40:03My understanding,
40:07it's in the bed
40:08that he and his wife
40:09sleep in.
40:10And so,
40:11and on the sheets
40:12that they were,
40:13I mean,
40:13he even mentions,
40:14you know,
40:14he had to wash the sheets.
40:16So,
40:18yeah,
40:18pretty disturbing.
40:21He dumps her body
40:22and,
40:23as with Tamara,
40:24uses bleach
40:25to get rid
40:25of any evidence.
40:26Richardson can't offer
40:47his motive
40:48for killing prostitutes,
40:49but he does seem
40:51to have had a plan.
40:56I've been in law enforcement
41:23for 15 years
41:24by the time
41:24this had happened
41:25and
41:26he had as much
41:28reading on serial killers
41:30as I had.
41:31I'll never forget
41:33Detective McIntyre
41:35walking out
41:35because Derek
41:36had told him.
41:38He's like,
41:38yeah,
41:39I picked her up
41:39and he goes,
41:40but I didn't have
41:41any money
41:41so I gave her
41:43my wedding ring.
41:44He's like,
41:45well,
41:45why would you do that?
41:46And he kind of
41:46chuckled and goes,
41:48well,
41:48I was going to get it back.
41:50Yeah,
41:50I don't like
41:51what I did.
41:52I'm like a compulsion
41:54because I was supposed
41:55to something
41:55on the right.
42:00I just,
42:01I thought about it
42:02so long
42:03and I just wanted
42:06to do it
42:07and think about it.
42:12When you say
42:12you've thought about it
42:13so long,
42:14what specifically
42:14did you think about
42:15just hurting people
42:17or just to hurt people
42:20or to end their life?
42:23Oh my gosh.
42:26You have someone
42:27that looks like
42:27he could be
42:28the nicest normal person
42:29and he's got demons
42:30that he just can't get over.
42:34Richardson is booked
42:34on two counts
42:35of homicide,
42:36but he hints
42:37there may be more victims.
42:39Detectives hope
42:40that with time
42:40he'll offer
42:41more detailed confessions
42:42but instead
42:44Derek Richardson
42:45takes one more life.
42:49He ended up
42:50committing suicide
42:51while he was in
42:52custody
42:53in the county jail.
42:54For the detectives
43:02who worked
43:03more than two years
43:04to bring a killer
43:04to justice,
43:05it's not the ending
43:06they'd hoped for.
43:08It was kind of
43:09a disappointing ending.
43:10Let the justice system
43:12decide what they're
43:12going to do with him
43:13but you don't want
43:14to see anybody
43:14take their own life.
43:15We still don't know
43:16if there's other
43:17victims out there
43:19and unfortunately
43:21we won't know
43:22coming from him
43:23anymore.
43:24Despite Richardson's
43:28suicide,
43:29detectives are confident
43:30that they caught
43:30a cold-blooded killer.
43:33We absolutely
43:33stopped a serial killer.
43:35Part of me wanted to say
43:36you got what you
43:37gave those families.
43:41You have mixed emotions
43:42when it's all said
43:43and done
43:43because in the end
43:44you have these people
43:46that lost their lives
43:47but didn't deserve it.
43:50They did find out
43:51who the perpetrator
43:53was.
43:55He did confess
43:56to what he had done
43:57so at least
43:58there was some comfort
44:00in that.
44:01Tamara and Nikki
44:02they had not lost
44:04their humanity.
44:05They were still
44:06good girls at heart.
44:08There are people
44:09who miss them.
