00:00Did you ever actually meet JonBenet Ramsey in person?
00:03Of course I did.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at history's most infamous true crime cases,
00:09and the disturbing details that keep them burned into our memories.
00:13In that trial, Ramirez's fascination with Satanism emerged.
00:19Charles Manson's orders at Cielo Drive.
00:22We have a weird homicide.
00:25In a scene described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird religious right,
00:30five persons, including actress Sharon Tate,
00:32were found dead at the home of Miss Tate and her husband, screen director Roman Poljanski.
00:37On the night of August 8, 1969, Charles Manson sent Charles Tex Watson,
00:42Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian to 10050 Cielo Drive with one brutal instruction.
00:49Kill everyone in the house.
00:51The next night, Manson personally went to the Los Feliz home of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca,
00:57then left followers inside with a simple directive, leave a sign.
01:01While the police admitted they had no suspects in the Bel Air massacre,
01:04there were two more murders, 15 miles away in the Silver Lake section of Los Angeles.
01:09Market owner Leo LaBianca and his wife Rosemary were found by their children.
01:12At Cielo Drive, pig was written in blood on the front door.
01:15At the LaBianca home, messages like death to pigs and war were scrawled in blood,
01:21with war carved into Leno's torso and a fork stuck in his abdomen.
01:25For Manson, the murders were meant as a signal,
01:27the opening shots of his imagined helter-skelter race war.
01:31What do you want to call me a murderer for? I've never killed anyone.
01:34I don't need to kill anyone. I think it… I have it here.
01:40The making of the Manson family.
01:42Two years ago, the hippie commune led by Charles Manson moved it into this old Wild West film set
01:47just outside Los Angeles. And it was here that they were living, on the night the alleged murders took place.
01:53Manson didn't suddenly wake up one day with a murder cult at his disposal, he built it slowly.
01:58At Spahn Ranch, he welcomed drifters and disillusioned young people looking for purpose,
02:03then gradually cut them off from the outside world. He mixed Bible verses, half-digested Scientology
02:09terms, and his own apocalyptic reading of the Beatles' White Album, insisting that its songs
02:14held secret prophecies. Over time, personal identities, boundaries, and doubts got stripped away.
02:25By the summer of 1969, key followers like Tex Watson and Susan Atkins believed they weren't
02:30just doing what Manson said, they were helping fulfill a cosmic prophecy. That slow, creeping
02:35conditioning is part of what makes this case so chilling.
02:39One day, a couple that I had been living with said, hey, we want you to meet this groovy guy.
02:44Charlie gets up out of the circle, he'd been in the circle playing the guitar, and he, you know,
02:48gives me a big hug, and oh, we're so happy to see you. I just felt, ah, someplace I belong,
02:56someplace somebody wants me.
02:58Dennis Rader's public mask.
03:00Prosecutions now hoping the BTK killer will receive a jail sentence of 175 years. The former
03:08scout leader's good fortune that Kansas did not introduce the death penalty till after his
03:14killing spree was over. The BTK killer's greatest disguise wasn't a costume, it was everyday life.
03:20In Wichita, in nearby Park City, Kansas, he came across as a reliable family man and community figure.
03:26He served as president of the church council at Christ Lutheran, led a Cub Scout troop,
03:31and later worked as a city compliance officer. While neighbors saw a neat house and a dependable
03:36presence at church, Rader secretly murdered 10 people between 1974 and 1991.
03:42But with us right now is Chief of Police Richard Lemonyan. I have a couple of questions, Chief.
03:47How can you be sure that the BTK letter is authentic?
03:51Well, Ron, after reviewing the contents of the letter, there's absolutely no question that the only person
03:56who would have the type of information that was included in the letter would have to be the killer himself.
04:02He compartmentalized it all with unnerving ease. Crime scenes one moment, council meetings and family
04:09dinners the next. When he was finally arrested in 2005, many locals struggled to reconcile the man
04:14they knew with the BTK killer they had feared, proving how deceptive a normal facade can be.
04:20You know, I never met him personally, but, you know, there were, you know, small towns, people talk,
04:26uh, mixed opinions. Uh, of course, he was a very, he was known to be a very active person in one of
04:31the churches up there, but there were a lot of people that said that, uh, he was the type of person
04:37that, well, one, one phrase that we've heard frequently creeped you out.
04:42Uh-huh. BTK's projects.
04:44It's confirmed now that Rader, as you just heard, um, called his kill plans projects, right? He had
04:53these codes that he would use in his journal and in his manuscript, and the codes were, um, PJ was projects.
05:01Inside his own private world, Rader didn't see victims, he saw projects. In his notes, he gave
05:07attacks code names and treated them like ongoing assignments. The Otero family murders in 1974 were
05:13Project Little Mechs, and the 1974 attack on Catherine Bright was Project Lights Out. He mapped out
05:20houses, planned entries, and recorded what went right or wrong, then kept souvenirs to relive
05:26the crimes later.
05:27Stocking stage is when you start learning more about your victims, potential victims. Uh, I went to the
05:32library, I looked up their names, that address, cross-reference, and told them a couple of times.
05:37So I'll lie there whenever I could.
05:39The language did a lot of psychological work for him. By labeling murders as projects, he turned
05:44human lives into tasks to be completed and documented. His letters, which began in the 1970s, and then
05:51resurfaced in 2004, showed the same cold vocabulary. Victims reduced to objectives. The suffering
05:58reframed as personal work.
06:00Everything is a game. Everything is manipulation. Nothing is what it seems. He wanted to chronicle
06:07his life. He wanted movies made about him. He wanted books written to be about him.
06:13Ed Gein's household trophies.
06:15Now, most folks thought Eddie was just a trifle foolish. But when the lady who owned the local
06:19hardware store disappeared, and police checked out Ed Gein's place, they walked into a scene
06:24from hunting season in hell.
06:26And all of a sudden the sheriff followed to us to come out in the shed, and he had the
06:31body hanging in the shed to get the head off.
06:34When officers entered Ed Gein's Plainfield, Wisconsin farmhouse in 1957, they weren't prepared
06:40for what they found. They came looking for missing store owner Bernice Warden, and uncovered
06:45a house partially furnished with human remains. There were bowls made from skulls, chair seats
06:50covered in human skin, masks fashioned from faces, and even a torso-like vest Gein could
06:56wear.
07:19Many of these items were assembled from bodies he exhumed from local cemeteries at night,
07:24along with remains from his known murder victims Mary Hogan and Bernice Warden. Gein's home
07:29reflected a mind that had stopped seeing a meaningful boundary between possessions and
07:33people.
07:34He immediately entered into the folklore of the state. They called him the Butcher of Plainfield,
07:40they called him the Ghoul of Plainfield. Strictly speaking, he was a ghoul, because ghouls
07:47are creatures who prey on dead bodies.
07:51A room left frozen in time.
08:06Amid the filth and decay of Gein's farmhouse, investigators found one oddly pristine space,
08:12his mother Augusta's bedroom. After she died in 1945, Gein boarded off the room she had
08:18used, leaving her furnishings, clothes, and personal items undisturbed.
08:22And for the twelve years between then and when his crimes were uncovered in 1957, he would
08:27read the obituaries, and whenever he saw that some woman, who he would have known for the
08:33most part, who was around his mother's age, you know, who might have borne some vague resemblance
08:38to her. When he saw that she had died and was buried, he would go out to the graveyard.
08:44Dust covered the rest of the house, but her space looked frozen in time. Augusta had drilled
08:49into her son a worldview centered on sin, shame, and mistrust of women, and he never really
08:54recovered from her death. In a building full of mutilated remains and grotesque artifacts,
08:59that untouched bedroom may be the clearest evidence of how tightly his crimes were tied
09:04to his unresolved obsession with his mother. There has never been anything like him, not
09:09only in the annals of American crime, but as far as I can tell, world crime.
09:15The Golden State Killer's Recon. Debbie Domingo was just 15 when her mother, Sherry,
09:20and her mother's boyfriend, Gregory Sanchez, became victims. In 1981, the killer snuck into Debbie's
09:26home and bludgeoned both to death. We spoke to Debbie two years ago when the FBI reopened
09:32the case. I'd never lost anyone close to me before, and she was probably the closest person
09:37to me. Joseph James D'Angelo approached burglary, sexual assault, and murder like a long-term
09:43surveillance operation. Before an attack, he would quietly stake out the neighborhoods in
09:48Sacramento, the East Bay, and Southern California, watching routines and testing boundaries.
09:53Now that we know he was law enforcement, and then taking a look at the details in the case
09:58file, it adds up. He had training. He understood law enforcement techniques.
10:02I know that you say that he would change his routine. So when there was an article in the
10:06newspaper that said he only attacks women who are alone, he read that. And then the next attack,
10:12he did when a man was in the house, right? I mean, he constantly kept changing his game.
10:16He slipped into backyards, tried windows, and sometimes even entered homes while residents were
10:21away to rehearse his movements and unlock points of entry. He cut phone lines, tampered with lights,
10:26and set low-tech alarms with stacked dishes or other objects that would crash if someone moved
10:32unexpectedly. By the time D'Angelo launched a late-night attack, he usually knew the floor plan
10:37and escape routes better than the people who lived there. Now, I don't remember exactly the complete
10:44specifics of words that were said. Something was said to the effect, don't move or I'll kill you.
10:50Then he tells me to roll over and get face down. He had some, like, shoelaces in his pocket,
10:57and he instructed her to tie my hands. It's me, I'll be back.
11:02Hello? Hello?
11:03For many Golden State Killer victims, the terror didn't end when he left the house. Survivors and
11:20their families later reported phone calls that seemed to come from the same man, sometimes days
11:25after an attack, sometimes years later. In some calls, a whispering male voice breathed, muttered
11:32obscenities, or quietly threatened, including at least one chilling threat of murder. Others
11:37contained fragments like, It's me, and promises that he would be back, echoing the fear that he
11:42wasn't done with them. Not every call can be definitively tied to Joseph D'Angelo, but enough
11:47aligned in timing, content, and voice that investigators considered them part of his pattern.
11:53I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you.
12:04I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you.
12:08I'm going to kill you.
12:11H.H. Holmes and the medical market.
12:13You may have heard of H.H. Holmes, the alleged serial killer who preyed on people visiting Chicago
12:19for the 1893 World's Fair. In the early 1890s, medical schools and anatomical suppliers needed
12:26cadavers, and oversight was spotty. Holmes, who had some medical training, found a way to profit
12:32from that demand. He lured victims, employees, tenants, romantic partners, into his orbit, killed
12:38some of them, and then disposed of their bodies in a basement outfitted with chemical vats and a
12:43furnace. I've heard stories that, you know, he murdered 200 people and he had ovens in
12:47his apartment building. I think most of that has been debunked.
12:50There's so much unknown factors with H.H. Holmes. He used a lot of different aliases. We honestly
12:57don't know how many people he killed or killed in this building.
13:00He was known to sell cleaned human skeletons to medical schools, and some accounts suggest
13:05he stripped flesh from bodies himself before preparing bones for sale. Exactly how many of
13:10those skeletons came from murder victims versus stolen cadavers is still debated, but the
13:15pattern is clear. For Holmes, a body was both an opportunity for fraud and a source of income.
13:20He's a psychopath. He has no moral core. He can get by with that stuff because he feels nothing.
13:25Larson was conducting research on the fair and stumbled across news accounts of a mass murderer
13:31and decided to combine the two stories. The murder castle.
13:34We are in the Englewood neighborhood at the intersection of 63rd and Wallace. This is where
13:41the notorious serial killer H.H. Holmes building would have stood at one point. What's here now
13:49is the Englewood post office. Holmes's three-story building in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood
13:54became known in newspapers as a murder castle, and the nickname has stuck. During the 1893 World's
13:59Fair, he advertised it as a hotel and business block, but its layout was anything but straightforward.
14:05Now, we do not know exactly how many people H.H. Holmes killed in this building. It does
14:11become known as his murder castle. There were odd, windowless rooms, doors that opened onto brick walls,
14:17and chutes that dropped to the basement, where he kept medical equipment and chemical vats. Some of these
14:22features are documented in surviving plans and testimony. Others, like elaborate gas chambers and death mazes,
14:29likely owe as much to sensational reporting as to reality. Whether the actual architecture matched the legend or not,
14:35the building was built to give him maximum control over who got in, who got out, and who never left.
14:41Estimates some say that he killed as many as 200 people. There were at least nine or 10 people that we know were last seen with home, several of them who would have been last seen in this building, who in most cases their remains were never found again.
14:59Jeffrey Dahmer's Zombies
15:01Jeffrey Dahmer's Zombies
15:09desires and thoughts wanting to control them, to possess them permanently.
15:21Jeffrey Dahmer's crimes were driven by more than a desire to kill. He admitted he wanted complete control over his victims, and feared being abandoned. In Milwaukee, he experimented with horrifying methods to keep them physically alive, but unable to leave. He drilled holes into their skulls,
15:37and injected substances like hydrochloric acid or boiling water, hoping to create what he described as compliant, zombie-like partners.
15:45And that's why you killed them.
15:47Right. Right. Not because I was angry with them, not because I hated them, but because I wanted to keep them with me.
15:55These attempts, used on victims such as Conorac Synthesomphone and Errol Lindsey, inevitably proved fatal. They reveal a mind that saw people not as companions, but as possessions he could modify.
16:07For Dahmer, murder was the foundation for creating a permanent, unresisting presence that would never walk out the door.
16:13It's a process. It doesn't happen overnight when you depersonalize another person and view them as just an object, an object for pleasure instead of a living, breathing human being.
16:29Memories preserved in Polaroid.
16:31A gruesome story leads off our newscast.
16:34Milwaukee police found body parts in a north side apartment, and now they wonder if they've uncovered some kind of death factory.
16:42This was the scene earlier this morning. Police hired a private contractor to haul a refrigerator and a tank of acid out of the apartment in the 900 block of North 25th Street.
16:52When Milwaukee police entered Dahmer's apartment on July 22nd, 1991, one discovery pulled everything into focus.
16:59A stash of Polaroid photos. Roughly 80 images documented victims before death, during dismemberment, and posed afterwards.
17:07Some showed arranged body parts, others captured stages of the killing process.
17:12Dahmer later said the photos helped him remember what he'd done, and relive the experiments when he wasn't actively committing a crime.
17:19For investigators, the pictures were a roadmap. They confirmed victims' identities, clarified timelines, and provided overwhelming proof at trial.
17:27The Polaroids underline just how planned and ritualized his actions were.
17:31He wasn't acting in a blur. He was documenting, cataloging, and revisiting his violence.
17:36Turning each murder into an experience he could replay whenever he wanted.
17:41It was my way of remembering their appearance, their physical beauty.
17:51I also wanted to keep, if I couldn't keep them there with me whole, at least I felt that I could keep their skeletons.
18:02The final words of the serial killer, quote,
18:05Taking my life would not compensate for the loss of the others. This is the state murdering me.
18:12The prosecutor put it this way, he got a much easier death than any of his victims.
18:17From the outside, John Wayne Gacy's house in Norwood Park Township, Illinois, looked like any other suburban home.
18:24Beneath it, the crawlspace told another story.
18:26Between 1972 and 1978, Gacy murdered 33 men and boys, burying 26 of them in shallow graves under his home.
18:35Others were found elsewhere on the property, or dumped in the nearby Des Plaines River.
18:39Neighbors complained about persistent foul odors. Gacy blamed moisture problems or dead animals.
18:45Well, he's pumping the water out, and that terrible smell's coming out, Steve.
18:50I said, hey, John, I said, what do you got, a bunch of dead bodies over there?
18:54He said, what do you mean? I said, what do I mean? It smells like a bunch of dead bodies.
18:59He said, oh no, those are all dead fuel mice, you know.
19:03When police finally searched under the house in December 1978, they encountered human remains almost immediately.
19:10The excavation stretched on for weeks as investigators uncovered body after body beneath the floorboards.
19:16He had said that he was going to make an addition, but he was going to go upwards.
19:21And then he was going to cement the crawlspace.
19:25And then when this came out, we thought, well, nothing would have been found if he had done that.
19:31The handcuff demonstration.
19:33How did he lure his victims?
19:35He primarily used the guise of being a police officer.
19:41John was into the police thing.
19:45He had a Chicago police star.
19:49He had a car.
19:51He'd buy a brand new car every year that would always be black.
19:54Gacy didn't always rely on brute force to overpower his victims.
19:57He used trust and showmanship.
19:59He cultivated a friendly image as a contractor, local volunteer, and sometime children's entertainer,
20:05which helped lower people's guard.
20:07On the way to his house, he was boasting that he was a police officer.
20:10And he showed me his gun.
20:12And his car.
20:13It looked like a police car.
20:14An unmarked police car.
20:15It had a spotlight and everything.
20:17Once he had a young man alone at his house, he would suggest a magic trick involving handcuffs.
20:23First, he'd demonstrate how he could slip out of a pair using a rigged set that allowed for an easy escape.
20:29Then, he'd invite his guest to try.
20:31When the real cuffs clicked shut and the victim realized they couldn't get out, the tone changed.
20:36That moment, when a simple party trick revealed itself as a trap, is where the horror really began.
20:41I took the rosary and I said, well, here, you put it around.
20:44This is hard trying to do this.
20:46Why don't you put your hand out?
20:49Okay, here.
20:50What I told him, I said, here, all you do is you wrap it around.
20:53You put one knot in it.
20:54And I said, then you put a second knot in it.
20:57Okay?
20:58Jean Benet Ramsey, a ransom note that made no sense.
21:02There were a number of things unusual about the note.
21:04Number one, the length of the note was very long, three pages.
21:09I've seen and worked a number of kidnappings for the FBI, and most of the notes are very
21:15short, they're very terse, very succinct, and they give very specific instructions,
21:20almost like bullet points.
21:22Found on the staircase inside the Ramseys' boulder home on December 26, 1996, the three-page
21:29handwritten letter demanded $118,000, almost exactly matching a bonus John Ramsey had received.
21:36It was written on paper from inside the house, with one of the family's own pens and claims
21:41to come from a small foreign faction.
21:43At this time, we have your daughter in our possession.
21:47You must follow our instructions to the letter.
21:50You will withdraw $118,000 from your account.
21:54I have never seen a ransom kidnapping that asks for such a specific amount of money.
22:01Hours after the note was discovered, Jean Benet's body was found in the basement, rendering
22:05the kidnapping scenario meaningless.
22:07For many observers, the note feels less like a genuine ransom demand and more like something
22:12staged to mislead, which is why it still dominates discussion of the case decades later.
22:17Former FBI profiler Julia Cowley is co-host of the podcast, The Consult.
22:22She studied the ransom note and says certain phrases come from movies about abductions.
22:28Certainly there was language that was taken from many movies and the language was taken
22:34from the villains.
22:36The hoax letters.
22:37High profile cases attract attention, and sometimes people who desperately want to insert themselves
22:43into the story.
22:44In the mid-2000s, a man using the alias Daxus began emailing a University of Colorado journalism
22:50professor claiming he was Jean Benet's killer.
22:53He described the crime in lurid, self-centered terms and implied he was tormented by what he'd done.
22:59Daxus was later identified as John Mark Carr, who was arrested in 2006 amid a media frenzy
23:06and extradited to the United States.
23:08How many times were you with her?
23:09You know, the description of my connection with her prior to her death is something that
23:14I can't discuss, and it's because in knowing a child, you don't just know that child, there
23:21are other people involved in knowing a child.
23:23And I had to protect the innocent, not the guilty.
23:27But when investigators compared his story to the evidence, key details didn't match,
23:31and his DNA didn't match samples from the scene.
23:34Carr was never charged, and the identity of the true killer remains a mystery.
23:38You say you're going through a difficult time now.
23:40Why is it difficult?
23:42Or what makes it difficult?
23:44Well, the response sometimes can be difficult that I get from the public.
23:50When I do go out, there are times when it's not positive.
23:56Richard Ramirez, home invasions without a pattern.
23:59Richard Ramirez, a drifter from El Paso, Texas, and a self-described Satan worshiper,
24:05began his reign of terror in June 1984 when he murdered 79-year-old Jenny Vinko
24:11in her apartment in Glassell Park.
24:13Richard Ramirez, dubbed the Night Stalker, turned going to sleep into a source of dread
24:17for countless Californians in the mid-1980s.
24:20From 1984 to 85, he crept into homes around Los Angeles and later the San Francisco Bay Area,
24:26often through open windows or unlocked doors, sometimes by forcing his way inside.
24:31He didn't stick to one type of victim.
24:33He attacked men, women, and children across different ages and neighborhoods.
24:37He used whatever weapons were handy – guns, knives, blunt objects – and sometimes demanded
24:42that victims swear to Satan as he assaulted them.
24:45The lack of a clear pattern made him feel unstoppable.
24:48People couldn't reassure themselves that they'd be safe because they didn't fit a profile.
24:52Under Ramirez, the profile was simple and terrifying – anyone.
24:57Sheriff's homicide investigators, who provided evidence of the murder scenes,
25:01including pictures of gaping stab wounds and Ramirez's bloody footprint,
25:06one of them on his victim's face, said the guilty verdicts mean a light at the end of the tunnel.
25:11I think it goes without saying how serious these crimes were.
25:14I think without commenting greatly because we still have a penalty phase to go through,
25:19the entire community was affected by this.
25:24The pentagram calling card.
25:27At his arraignment, Ramirez pleaded innocent, but displayed a pentagram on the palm of his hand
25:32and exhibited bizarre behavior.
25:34Hail Satan.
25:36Ramirez didn't just commit violent attacks.
25:38He embraced an image designed to amplify fear – a self-proclaimed Satanist.
25:43He left pentagrams at some crime scenes, drawn on walls, furniture, or even on victims' bodies.
25:48He later flashed a pentagram drawn on his hand in court and shouted,
25:52Hail Satan, cementing the link between his crimes and his chosen symbol.
25:56As far as Satan is concerned, I believe in a malevolent being.
26:01His description eludes me, but I have felt powers that are evil.
26:07In deeply religious communities, those marks hit hard.
26:11They made already horrific crimes feel ritualistic, as if something larger and darker was at work.
26:16The pentagram became a visual shorthand for the Night Stalker's reign and helped lock his crimes into the public imagination long after his arrest.
26:25Dead at 53 of liver failure, Ramirez is remembered for his own description of himself at sentencing as a servant of Lucifer.
26:33I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells within us all.
26:37Ted Bundy on the run.
26:39Ted Bundy jumped out of this second story window at the front of the Pitkin County Courthouse this morning.
26:44He was scheduled for a court appearance and apparently had been locked into the law library by sheriff's deputies,
26:49while attorneys were arguing a motion to strike the death penalty.
26:52Witnesses say he left in a hurry, however nobody saw him open the window, and he escaped clean in an unknown direction.
26:59Ted Bundy's final spree might never have happened if he hadn't managed to slip away.
27:04He escaped twice. In June 1977, he escaped from a courthouse in Aspen, Colorado by jumping from a second story window.
27:11Recaptured, he was later moved to the Garfield County Jail in Glenwood Springs.
27:15Bundy pulled off another disappearing act just six months later, squeezing through a hole in the ceiling of his cell.
27:22The sheriff says Bundy then crawled along the attic through a maze of wires and pipes,
27:27and dropped down into the empty jailer's office, grabbed two guns, and walked out the door.
27:33The guns were later found, but Bundy was not.
27:37From there, he made his way to Florida, where he adopted a new identity and returned to his old, deadly ways.
27:43In the early hours of January 15, 1978, he attacked four women inside Florida State University's Chi Omega Sorority House.
27:51Weeks later, he abducted and murdered Kimberly Leach.
27:54His time on the run proved just how quickly Bundy would return to violence once unrestrained.
28:00Bundy was last seen at 10 p.m. last night.
28:03He put pillows under blankets and fooled deputies into thinking he was still in his cell sleeping as late as noon today,
28:09when finally the cook thought something was wrong because Bundy hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch.
28:15A police dog followed Bundy's scent downtown, but lost it in traffic.

28:33Returning to the Dead
28:36As disturbing as Bundy's murders were, one of the most haunting details came from his later confessions.
28:42He sometimes went back.
28:44After dumping bodies in remote locations around Washington State, places like Taylor Mountain and near Izaqua,
28:50he returned to, well, let's say, spend time with the remains.
28:55Investigators also believe he kept severed heads from some victims in his apartment for a time.
29:00These return visits weren't spur-of-the-moment decisions.
29:03He deliberately chose secluded areas where he knew he could come and go without being noticed.
29:08For Bundy, the crime didn't end with the killing.
29:11Death became the start of a one-sided relationship he continued on his own terms, long after anyone else knew a crime had even taken place.
