00:00That's where I dropped it. Pulled the verbite out and rolled it down there.
00:05Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we'll be looking at the most infamous people
00:09whose confessions to shocking crimes were caught on tape.
00:13Let me put a little tiny shot here. Why don't you draw where the bloodstains would have been?
00:19Christopher Fattore.
00:21I didn't like Caleb Harrison. I didn't like the way you treated my kids.
00:25I didn't like hearing all the horrific stories. It was an awful family.
00:33Between 2009 and 2013, in the Canadian city of Mississauga, three members of the Harrison family,
00:41Bill, Bridget and Caleb, were found dead inside the same home amid a bitter custody war involving
00:48Caleb's ex-wife, Melissa Merritt, and her partner, Christopher Fattore. Early deaths were misread as
00:54medical or accidental. Caleb's 2013 homicide forced a re-examination and focused investigations
01:01on the couple.
01:02And I'm telling you right now that Melissa Merritt did not know anything until after it was done.
01:13What did you do?
01:19I killed Bridget Harrison and killed Harrison.
01:21In a recorded Peel Regional Police interview played for the jury, Fattore admits killing Bridget and Caleb.
01:29In January 2018, Fattore was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of Bridget and Caleb,
01:36acquitted in Bill's 2009 death, and received life with no parole eligibility for 25 years.
01:43That's not the plan. That's not what I wanted. I figured that she would, someone would come home,
01:48or Caleb would come home and find her.
01:49Nathan Matthews.
01:51So, Nathan, we've had a short break. Perhaps if I just flag up for the recording what this
01:58interview is about. It's about the kidnap and murder of Becky Watts.
02:03Becky Watts' disappearance in 2015 shook the city of Bristol, England. The 16-year-old was last seen
02:10at her family home before vanishing without a trace. Suspicion soon fell on her step-brother,
02:15Nathan Matthews, known for his withdrawn and troubled behaviour. Under questioning,
02:21Matthews eventually admitted in a written statement that he killed Becky during what
02:26was described by the media as a kidnap plot gone wrong.
02:29I don't want that to be read to someone.
02:34I don't want to read this out in full again, Nathan, but what I wanted to do
02:48was get some more detail from you about things that you've said in it.
02:51His taped confession included details about how he planned the abduction and how it escalated
02:57fatally. Matthews was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum
03:03of 33 years. The confession, combined with physical evidence, underscored the premeditated
03:10nature of the crime, and left the community grappling with how violence could emerge within
03:15the family home. I came up with the idea to scare her because like to try and
03:24basically make her more appreciative of life so she'd be more appreciative
03:30for other people. She'd be like grateful that you know she wasn't harmed or anything like that.
03:36Nathaniel Marcus Gann. This is the most important hour of your entire life and you know what else?
03:42We told Bray the same thing. She made the right decision. She told us everything.
03:54Every single living and breathing detail. San Diego, July 2007. Siblings Nathaniel Marcus Gann and Bray F.
04:05Hanson plotted to make their stepfather Timothy McNeil's killing look like a home invasion.
04:10Gann drove from Arizona after a failed hitman plan. Zip ties, a duplicate key, and staging details were
04:18set to sell the robbery story. The on-camera admission in this case came from Gann.
04:24After first placing a 911 call as a supposed victim, Hanson gave a recorded post-arrest interview,
04:38confessing the conspiracy. The fake break-in, tying, demands for the safe combination, and Gann's masked role.
04:44Tried together with separate juries, Gann was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 25 to life.
04:50Hanson was convicted with a true lying-in-wait finding and received life without parole.
04:56I remember him saying it a thousand times. You killed me. You killed me. You killed me. Why didn't you kill me?
05:04Cam McLeod and Breyer Schmigelski The Dees Lake area investigation into the disappearance of Cam McLeod and Breyer Schmigelski, their vehicle recovery, and the discovery of an unidentified deceased male continues.
05:20Cam McLeod and Breyer Schmigelski The Dees Lake area investigation into the disappearance of Cam McLeod and Breyer Schmigelski, their vehicle recovery, and the discovery of an unidentified deceased male continues.
05:34On July 19, 2019, the Dees Lake RCMP responded to a vehicle fire south of the Stikine River Bridge on Highway 37.
05:42A manhunt began after teenagers Cam McLeod and Breyer Schmigelski were suspected of murdering three people in the summer of 2020.
05:502019. Their flight across remote northern Canada made international headlines.
05:55For the past few days, investigators have been focusing their efforts on locating Cam and Breyer, given that their vehicle and camper had been located on fire and the two were considered missing.
06:07We have also been working to identify a man whose body was discovered deceased two kilometers south of the vehicle fire at a highway pullout.
06:17Before their self-inflicted deaths in the Manitoba wilderness, the teens recorded several cell phone videos.
06:23In these clips, they admitted to the killings, discussing their lack of escape option, and even hinted at how they expected their story to end.
06:32The RCMP later described the recordings as confessions of guilt, though they withheld full release out of respect for the victims.
06:40Both bodies were discovered after weeks of searching. The videos provided investigators and grieving families confirmation of responsibility.
06:49We knew that we needed just to find that one piece of evidence that could move this search forward.
06:56On Friday, August 2nd, that one critical piece of evidence was found. Items directly linked to the suspects were located on the shoreline of the Nelson River.
07:05Jeremy Skibicki.
07:07These are the first few moments after Jeremy Skibicki was arrested. The early morning hours of May 17, 2022.
07:15The 37-year-old taken into a police interrogation room by two officers. Skibicki gets settled in.
07:21Police in Winnipeg, Manitoba linked Jeremy Skibicki to the murders of four Indigenous women.
07:27Rebecca Contois, Morgan Harris, Mercedes Myron, and Ashley Shinguz.
07:33The killings, all within a few months in 2022, ignited grief in Indigenous communities.
07:39During videotaped interrogations, Skibicki shared his belief that, quote,
07:44this was something that God called him to do, end quote.
07:47You know, this is how he and me lost your life.
07:49Skibicki appears at ease, sitting back in his seat, relaxed.
07:53At one point, he lays down to nap on the floor. Hours in, he makes a shocking confession.
07:59I killed four people, Karen.
08:02He described how he lured them, killed them, and disposed of their remains.
08:06The tapes captured not only the details of his crimes, but also his disturbing lack of remorse.
08:12His lawyers are arguing he shouldn't be held criminally responsible because of a mental disorder.
08:18He tells police he didn't know all the victims' names, but remembered Morgan Harris and her last moments.
08:32Skibicki pleaded not guilty, but his recorded admissions are expected to be central evidence.
08:37The case has become a flashpoint for discussion about systemic neglect of Indigenous women, as well as failures of law enforcement to prevent serial violence.
08:46I was very overconfident by the last thought because I was like, sure, I already get away with it.
08:53Because the other times, like, they were like in the bin for like four or five days.
08:58The Crown is arguing he was intentional with his killings, and they were racially motivated.
09:03Christopher Lee Watts.
09:28In 2018, Watts appeared on local news, pleading for the safe return of his pregnant wife Shannon and their two young daughters.
09:35The performance drew sympathy, but also suspicion.
09:38After hours of questioning, Watts finally broke down during videotaped interrogations, admitting he killed Shannon, and later, his children.
09:47The contrast between his public facade and recorded confession shocked the nation.
10:03Watts received multiple life sentences without parole.
10:06The footage of his lies unraveling and eventual admission has since become a chilling example of how investigators extract truth in the face of deception.
10:15Do you know what to do? All the bodies off or something?
10:21I mean, I didn't know what else to do. I freaked out. I had nothing else to do. I didn't know what to do.
10:28Joran Vandersloot.
10:38How can you sleep? I did this thing. I had a lot of days. I couldn't even sleep. And I was harming nobody.
10:47The disappearance of Natalie Holloway in Aruba in 2005 became an international media storm.
10:53Joran Vandersloot was long considered a suspect, but hard evidence was elusive.
10:58Despite having no training, he posed as a dealer looking to set up an operation.
11:01And the key, he ignored any talk about Natalie Holloway.
11:05If the foundation laid, he called television journalist Peter De Vries, who hired him.
11:10I had my range over waiting all that time. With cameras, everything in it.
11:14Peter De Vries, with people waiting outside filming. We were all ready for him.
11:20In 2008, Dutch journalist Peter De Vries aired undercover footage of Vandersloot apparently confessing to disposing of Holloway's body.
11:28So we just took her to the boat.
11:31Geteeled.
11:32Yes, with his two just quickly.
11:34And nobody saw her then.
11:36An admission that now brings two strangers, a mother and an informant, together.
11:42I mean, Patrick, you ended my nightmare.
11:44Though he later claimed he was lying, the tapes renewed global scrutiny.
11:49Years later, in an unrelated case, he confessed in Peru to the murder of Stephanie Flores.
11:55Vandersloot is now serving a 28-year sentence in Peru, with extradition to the U.S. expected.
12:01His confessions, partial or otherwise, cemented his notoriety as a symbol of arrogance and evasion.
12:08But yeah, I played it well in the beginning, because in the beginning I thought, you know, you can tell them what they want, you know, because if they don't have any evidence, then you don't have any evidence.
12:19Samuel Little.
12:20I was still in my fingers, yeah.
12:22But I was on the very outskirts.
12:25The very outskirts.
12:27There was a couple of motels, I remember, gas stations and that.
12:31It was scattered, dot, dot, dot, dot, because it was getting thin population as you go further out.
12:38For decades, Samuel Little drifted across the U.S., living on the margins.
12:43By the time of his arrest in 2012, he was already a suspect in several unsolved murders.
12:48In 2018, Little sat for videotaped interviews with the FBI, where he calmly confessed to killing more than 90 women between 1970 and 2005.
12:59He even sketched his victims from memory, lending chilling credibility to his accounts.
13:23The FBI later confirmed him as America's most prolific serial killer, linking his words to dozens of unsolved cases.
13:32Little died in prison in 2020, leaving behind a trail of victims finally acknowledged, but justice delayed for decades.
13:39I grabbed my legs and pulled her to the water.
13:46That's the only one that I ever killed by drowning.
13:49Describe the location where she's left.
13:52Okay, I left her head still in the water.
13:55Half her body in the water, and her thighs and legs on the back.
14:02Brendan Dassey.
14:03Now, let's be honest, what did he tell you?
14:05What did he show me?
14:06What did you see, and what did he tell you?
14:08Let's be honest, you're Brendan.
14:10Dassey was a Wisconsin teenager when his uncle Stephen Avery was accused of murdering Teresa Halbach in 2005.
14:17The case gained global attention through Netflix's Making a Murderer.
14:21During police interrogations, Dassey gave a halting, inconsistent confession describing his role in the crime.
14:28What was it?
14:34That he punched her.
14:37What else?
14:40It's okay.
14:41What did he make you do?
14:47Cut her.
14:48Cut her where?
14:49Recorded on video, his statements raised serious concerns about coercion, comprehension, and the vulnerability of minors in interrogation settings.
14:59Though later recanting, Dassey was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
15:05Appeals courts wrestled with whether his confession was voluntary, but the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his case,
15:12leaving him incarcerated amid continuing debate about justice and fairness.
15:16We know, we just need you to tell us.
15:25That's all I can remember.
15:27Ariel Castro.
15:29I took her to the master bedroom.
15:30Okay.
15:32And I chained her to the bed.
15:34I think it was...
15:35I chained her to...
15:38There's a steam radiator there.
15:42In 2013, the world was stunned when three women escaped Ariel Castro's Cleveland home after a decade in captivity.
15:50The house, once in unremarkable address, became a symbol of unimaginable horror.
15:55Once in custody, Castro sat down with police for hours of videotaped interviews.
16:01He admitted to the abductions, repeated assaults, and years of psychological manipulation.
16:06Did you threaten her at that point?
16:09No, I just told her to be quiet.
16:11You just told her to be quiet?
16:13Be quiet or what?
16:14Just to be quiet.
16:15Okay.
16:15I didn't want the neighbors to hear anything or to get in trouble.
16:20Okay.
16:21And did you bind her hands also?
16:25No.
16:25Did you put anything in her mouth?
16:27His confessions, later released, confirmed the women's accounts and revealed the calculated cruelty of his crimes.
16:35Castro pled guilty to over 900 charges and received a life sentence without parole, plus 1,000 years.
16:43Just weeks into his imprisonment, he was found dead in his cell, closing one of the darkest chapters in Ohio's history.
16:50Having four kids and now five, you know, I just, I don't understand how I did that.
17:00You know, I'm a father, I'm a grandfather, and I still don't understand how I went through all these things.
17:05Mark Castellano
17:06I feel f***ing dead inside already.
17:09Mark Castellano shared an apartment in Houston, Texas with his ex-girlfriend Michelle Warner and their young son Caden.
17:15In September 2012, the former couple got into a heated argument that ended in Warner's death at Castellano's hands.
17:22I come home, she's in her room, the first thing she does is start yelling at me that Caden has made a big mess.
17:31The 31-year-old mother was reported missing by her family, and all eyes soon turned to Castellano as the suspect.
17:37As the case gained traction, Castellano sat for an interview with Dr. Phil,
17:41in which he insisted that Warner had left the apartment after the argument and never returned.
17:46Did she just walk away from the apartment, you think?
17:50I'm sure someone picked her up. She doesn't walk anywhere.
17:52So you think she called somebody to come get her?
17:54She had to.
17:55Just days later, however, Castellano turned himself in and owned up to the crime in a taped interrogation with the police.
18:02When I came back, I just got rid of her.
18:06Where did you get rid of her?
18:07He was later found guilty of Warner's murder and sentenced to 27 years in prison.
18:11Can't live with us anymore either, man.
18:13I know.
18:14I know.
18:14I wanted to tell Dr. Phil, but...
18:17Natavia Lowry
18:18The 2007 murder of celebrity realtor and former music manager Linda Stein in her Manhattan apartment
18:24soon became the subject of a media frenzy.
18:27Upon close investigation, authorities narrowed in on Stein's personal assistant, Natavia Lowry,
18:32who was reported to have had a strained relationship with her boss.
18:35Why am I here? Like, what's going on? How did I get to this point? You know, I'm asking myself that.
18:40In her interrogation, Lowry seemingly confessed to her role in Stein's murder, claiming that the
18:46real estate broker had provoked her by blowing smoke in her face and uttering racially insensitive remarks.
18:51And, you know, her screaming and yelling, I just snatched it from her. My side took it and it's like,
18:58I just hit her with it.
19:00Apparently, Lowry had stolen $30,000 from Stein and likely killed her when she was confronted about it.
19:06Although she later recanted her confession, Lowry was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
19:12I felt bad. I felt sorry.
19:19Geordie Brooke
19:19In November of 2014, Peter Steer, an Australian cameraman for 7 News,
19:25was sent to the coastal town of Noosaheads in Queensland to cover a shooting.
19:29On his way there, he was hailed down by a man on a motorbike named Geordie Brooke,
19:34who disclosed that he was the perpetrator of the incident in question.
19:37Steer then called the authorities as he filmed Brooke making a teary confession to the crime.
19:43While waiting for police, Brooke had a change of heart and stole the cameraman's car at gunpoint.
19:49He was eventually arrested after crashing into a gas station and brought up on multiple charges,
19:53including attempted murder and armed robbery.
19:55And he just walked up to me purposefully, looked me in the eyes and asked me for a cigarette lighter.
20:01Jared Murray
20:02Jared Murray and Gennaro Sanchez were both freshmen at East Central University in Oklahoma in 2012.
20:09On December 5th, Murray lured Sanchez into driving him to a Walmart by offering to pay him $20.
20:15He panicked, wanted to pull out his phone.
20:18I yanked the phone out of his hand, and then he panicked some more, kept telling me not to kill him.
20:25This would be Sanchez's last ride, as he was gunned down by Murray in his own car.
20:30Kept telling me not to kill him.
20:31To make him feel more comfortable, I unloaded the clip, unloaded the bullet from the chamber, handed them over to him, and that eased his nerves.
20:39Murray fled the scene, but was eventually arrested while attempting to hitchhike to Canada.
20:42During police interrogation, Murray quickly owned up to the crime, giving a chilling confession, seemingly devoid of any remorse.
20:50A shot once missed. Shot a second time. He was driving 10, 15 miles an hour, so it was rather slow.
20:56He admitted to planning the murder weeks ahead, and believed he deserved the death penalty.
21:01Death sentence, sir.
21:04And why do you think he deserves death sentence?
21:06An eye for an eye, sir.
21:07Instead, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity, and remanded to a mental health facility.
21:14Christian Romero
21:15Even before he became a teenager, Christian Romero had already committed murder.
21:20In November of 2008, Romero shot and killed his father Vincent and their tenant Timothy Romans, after they got home from work.
21:27The crimes baffled investigators, who examined a bunch of other suspects before confronting the inevitable truth.
21:33Initially, Romero had stated that he returned home from school to find both men already dead.
21:43However, when police questioned him further, he admitted to committing the murders himself.
21:48In a deal with the prosecution, Romero pleaded guilty to the negligent homicide of Romans, but was spared from being charged with the death of his father.
21:56He was first committed to a treatment facility indefinitely, but gained his freedom when he turned 18.
22:02Russell Williams
22:03A woman was at home, alone.
22:05When she was surprised by a male intruder, she said he blindfolded her, tied her up.
22:11Having served in the Canadian Air Force for 23 years, Russell Williams rose to the rank of colonel, and was commander of the largest military air base in Canada.
22:20In February 2010, Williams was linked to the assault and murder of Jessica Lloyd, through the tire tracks found outside her home.
22:27Williams was informed that the distinctive tires of his SUV matched the tracks in the field, next to Jessica Lloyd's house.
22:34He was taken in for questioning, and eventually broke, confessing to not only Lloyd's murder, but also to other assaults and burglaries in the area.
22:42Williams forcefully entered women's homes, not to steal any valuables, but to collect their underwear, which he would then wear and take pictures of himself in.
23:03He was tried on multiple charges, including murder, assault, and 82 counts of breaking and entering, resulting in a life sentence.
23:10That's an involuntary reaction, we call, but that's indicative of what's going on internally.
23:16And what he's nodding to is, holy shit, it's my boot.
23:20Earl Valentine
23:21And I don't feel no motherfucking remorse for what I did.
23:25While many individuals have confessed to their crimes in interviews or during police interrogations, Earl Valentine basically bragged about his on Facebook.
23:34She lied on me, had warrants taken out on me.
23:37She drugged me all the way down to nothing.
23:43In an eerie live stream in September 2016, Valentine admitted to shooting his ex-wife, Keisha, and their son, Earl Jr.
23:51Keisha had moved to Norlina, North Carolina with Earl Jr. in an attempt to escape Valentine after her restraining order against him had expired.
23:58In the video, Valentine accused his ex-wife of trying to tarnish his image, and claims to have shot her in retribution.
24:04I loved my wife, but she deserved what she had coming.
24:11Police later tracked down Valentine to a motel in Columbia, South Carolina, but found that he had already taken his own life.
24:18We're pretty angry about it, and especially because of the way he's acting over it.
24:23Daniel Wozniak
24:24A community theater actor in Costa Mesa, California, Daniel Wozniak was arrested in May 2010,
24:35after the body of Julie Kibuishi was discovered in his neighbor Sam Hare's apartment.
24:39At the time, police were on the hunt for Hare, who was presumed to have fled after ending Kibuishi's life.
24:45He's like, I shot somebody, I was not happy about it, it was a fit of rage, and honestly, she had it coming.
24:53While in police custody, Wozniak initially denied having anything to do with the crime.
24:58So I'm staying there.
24:59I got some money here.
25:01You're arrested.
25:02For her.
25:03But after a few hours of questioning, he eventually confessed to killing Kibuishi and Hare,
25:08who was a war veteran in a bid to collect his combat pay savings.
25:12I'm crazy, and I did it.
25:14You did what?
25:16I killed Julie, and I killed Sam.
25:18In 2016, Wozniak was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, and handed the death penalty.
25:24Israel Keys
25:25To describe Israel Keys as terrifying will be quite an understatement.
25:30There is no one who knows me, or who has ever known me, who knows anything about me, really.
25:36The Utah-born serial killer orchestrated multiple, carefully planned murders across several states in the United States.
25:42After kidnapping and killing his last confirmed victim, Samantha Koenig, Keys was arrested in Alaska when he tried withdrawing money from an ATM with her debit card.
25:52While in police custody, Keys chillingly described his crimes, although leaving out just enough detail to avoid being directly linked with any confirmed case.
26:02When I was smart, I would let them come to me, just a remote area.
26:10Still, he confessed to the murders of Koenig, and a middle-aged couple named Bill and Lorraine Currier.
26:15You might not get exactly what you're looking for.
26:18There's not as much to choose from, in a manner of speaking, but there's also no witnesses, really.
26:24There's no details around.
26:25Prosecutors were still putting their case against Keys together when he took his own life in his jail cell.
26:31Steve Stevens
26:3237-year-old Steve Stevens became the subject of an extensive police manhunt in April 2017, when he uploaded a video to Facebook which showed him committing a murder.
26:43In the clip, recorded on his phone, Stevens randomly stops Robert Godwin, an elderly man walking down the street, who he briefly talks to before fatally shooting him.
26:53The crime was reportedly motivated by problems Stevens was having with his girlfriend at the time.
27:01That same day, he uploaded another video in which he also admitted to killing more people, although those claims were not verified by police.
27:08Two days later, Stevens was spotted at a McDonald's drive-thru, but ended up taking his own life before police could arrest him.
27:15We told him he was waiting on his fries for a minute, just to kind of buy some time for the cops if it actually was him, and he said he had no time to wait, he had to go.
27:24And at that point, he took his chicken McNuggets and left.
27:27Melissa Miller
27:28Just start at the beginning.
27:29Okay, let me take a couple breaths.
27:31In February of 2013, colleagues of Annie Meyer filed a missing persons report after she was absent from work for several days.
27:39Over the next few months, police questioned those who were close to Meyer, but found it difficult to gain any substantial information from her roommate and former partner, Melissa Miller.
27:48Our Colorado mountains create a perfect burial ground until the snow melts.
27:55It wasn't until July, when Meyer's remains were found, that Miller decided to cooperate with police.
28:01In her taped interview with investigators, Miller painted a relationship with Meyer that was fraught with tension due to money problems.
28:08She then confessed to killing her while they were on a hike in the Colorado mountains.
28:19After pleading guilty to second-degree murder, Miller was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
28:23In court today, Melissa Miller is already making plans to see her friends and family next.
28:31Sean Vincent Gillis
28:32The crimes of Sean Vincent Gillis were so despicable that even he referred to himself as pure evil.
28:42Over a ten-year period, Gillis claimed the lives of eight women in and around the Baton Rouge area in Louisiana.
28:48Dubbed the Other Baton Rouge Killer, he was known to perform disturbing acts on the bodies of his victims.
28:54In 2004, he was arrested and charged with three murders, and ended up confessing to all three, plus an additional five.
29:09Gillis went into detail about how he would hunt down his victims, and the gruesome ways he ended their lives.
29:15There was a pipe on the ground. Not even a pipe, there was like a steel rod. Kind of like rebar, but smoother.
29:23He was, however, only convicted of the initial three murders, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
29:30David Tarloff
29:31David Tarloff had struggled with mental illness from at least his early 20s.
29:35In 1991, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia by a psychiatrist named Kent Shinbach, who recommended his involuntary commitment to a psychiatric facility.
29:45I think all that hurt me. All I wanted was to get money from him.
29:50Fast forward to 2008. Tarloff visited Shinbach's office once again.
29:55Only this time, his goal was to rob the doctor and use his money to care for his ailing mother.
30:00Instead, Tarloff ended up killing Catherine Fahey, another psychiatrist who shared an office with Shinbach, in what he claimed was self-defense.
30:08Police traced fingerprints from the crime to Tarloff, who rambled his way through a confession when questioned.
30:21Following two mistrials, he was eventually convicted and handed a life sentence in 2014.
30:27Mark Chopper Reed
30:29One of the most notorious criminals in Australian history, Mark Chopper Reed, had a long rap sheet that included crimes like armed robbery, kidnapping, and arson.
30:42Reed's notorious activities led to him spending a large chunk of his adult life incarcerated.
30:47While in prison, the infamous gangster contracted Hepatitis C and was diagnosed with liver cancer years later.
30:53Just before his death, Reed sat for a televised interview with 60 Minutes Australia, where he admitted to having been responsible for the deaths of four people.
31:06What was your involvement in his murder?
31:09Oh, just the bloke that killed him.
31:12Perhaps the most shocking thing about the interview, which was granted just 16 days before his death, was the casual nature with which Reed described his graphic crimes.
31:21Robert Willie Pickton, possibly one of Canada's most prolific serial killers, the crimes of Robert Willie Pickton sent shockwaves through the country when they were eventually discovered.
31:44Robert Willie Pickton had inherited a large pig farm from his family, and reportedly fed the corpses of his victims to his pigs.
32:03In 2002, police stormed Pickton's farm on an illegal firearms warrant, but ended up finding personal effects belonging to multiple missing women.
32:12He was charged with 26 counts of murder, but in a chilling jail cell surveillance video, Pickton confessed to an undercover officer that he had claimed the lives of 49 women, and even, quote, wanted one more.
32:29For his despicable crimes, Pickton was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.
32:36Gary Richway
32:37Dubbed the Green River Killer, Gary Richway terrorized girls and women in the states of Washington and Oregon in the 80s and 90s.
32:49While his victim count is believed to be as high as 90, Richway was convicted of 49 murders, the second highest number of confirmed killings in U.S. history.
32:58Ridgway sat for multiple interviews with authorities, most notably with FBI profiler Dr. Mary Ellen O'Toole, in which he confessed to more killings and detailed how he picked up his victims.
33:10I'm driving down the road, so I whipped out my ID, and with my ID would be my… I put my finger over my driver's license to hide my name.
33:19Throughout these interviews, he owned up to the most murders for any American serial killer.
33:24David, no, I wasn't probably a normal person.
33:27But you were really using your son as part of your ruse.
33:31Due to his plea agreement, Ridgway avoided execution, and was instead sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
33:38Ed Kemper
33:39I was getting better at it. I was getting less detectable. I started flaunting that invisibility.
33:45A truly disturbing figure, Ed Kemper was responsible for the deaths of ten people, including his own mother and paternal grandparents.
33:54After killing his mother and one of her friends on April 20th, 1973, Kemper called the police and confessed to the crimes.
34:00One victim let me back in the car. I locked myself out. She opened the door for me. My gun was under the seat.
34:08Of the ten murders, Kemper was charged with and convicted of eight, for which he was handed eight consecutive life sentences.
34:16And I'm picking up young women, and I'm going a little bit farther each time. It's a daring kind of a thing.
34:22Throughout his life in prison, Kemper granted multiple interviews, such as for the documentary Murder, No Apparent Motive, during which he opened up about his crimes in explicit details.
34:33So how come they get in a car with somebody at that time?
34:36She judged me not to be that guy. I didn't look like him.
34:41He was also profiled by agents of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, which was portrayed in the Netflix series Mindhunter.
34:49Robert Durst.
34:50I am going to go use the restroom, which is right here.
34:54The Jinx was a six-part true crime docuseries that aired on HBO in 2015.
34:59The critically acclaimed show was centered around real estate tycoon Robert Durst, who, at the time, was suspected of killing his wife, Kathleen McCormick, and friend, Susan Berman.
35:09In the final episode, Durst is shown a damning handwritten letter about Berman's murder that seemed to match his writing.
35:16But he flat-out denies being the author.
35:19There it is. You're recording.
35:22Then, in what is arguably one of the most shocking moments in TV history, he goes to the bathroom and seemingly confesses to the crimes, while his mic is still recording.
35:32Killed them all. Of course.
35:36Durst was later given a life sentence for Berman's death, but he died of cardiac arrest just three months later.
35:42The BTK Killer was the self-imposed nickname of American serial killer Dennis Rader.
35:50After you tied him up, what did he do?
35:52Well, they started complaining about being tied up, and I re-loosened the bonds a couple of times.
35:59I tried to make Mr. Otero as comfortable as I could.
36:02Rader murdered ten people in the state of Kansas between 1974 and 1991, and sent letters to the authorities bragging about it.
36:09He was eventually caught in 2005, after sending police a floppy disk with metadata that revealed his identity.
36:15I didn't have a mask on or anything. They already could ID me.
36:19And I made a decision to go ahead and put them down, I guess, or strangle them.
36:27On the day of his trial, Rader surprised the court by instead pleading guilty to all ten counts of first-degree murder,
36:34and vividly recounted how he carried them out.
36:38Tied his feet to the bedpost, upon the bedpost so he couldn't run.
36:43Kind of tied her in the other bedroom.
36:46Throughout the chilling, nearly one-hour-long confession, Rader offered no apologies for his actions,
36:52and was later handed to ten consecutive life sentences.

37:11Ted Bundy
37:12You'd be hard-pressed to find an American adult who hasn't heard the name Ted Bundy.
37:24The infamous serial killer claimed at least 30 lives over a four-year period,
37:28although that number is believed to be much higher.
37:31After he was caught and sentenced to death for three of the murders,
37:34Bundy appealed the decision up to the U.S. Supreme Court to no avail.
37:38On the eve of his execution, Bundy sat for a taped interview,
37:42in which he admitted guilt to the crimes,
37:44and described the true nature of his murderous tendencies.
37:48For the record, you are guilty of killing many women and girls.
37:55Yes. Yes, that's true.
37:58A few hours later, Bundy's reign of terror came to an end,
38:01when he was executed in the electric chair on January 24th, 1989.
38:05That I can't begin to understand the pain
38:08that the parents of these children and these young women that I have harmed feel.
