Short filmTranscript
00:00But it did catch something.
00:05The owner of the white truck, Victor Shemaz,
00:07was a 45-year-old man living in Riverside
00:10who had a small house painting business.
00:12He had a rap sheet.
00:13It was relatively clean.
00:15A few minor narcotic citations,
00:17a B&E from a decade earlier.
00:19But he had a restraining order taken out against him recently
00:22for apparently stalking a woman he met online.
00:26That didn't sit well with us.
00:27We called him in for questioning,
00:29and he agreed.
00:31Mr. Shemaz, thank you for meeting with us today.
00:34Yeah, that's good.
00:38So, in regards to this work truck,
00:41it looks like you called it in stolen yesterday
00:43after we got off the phone.
00:45Yeah, yeah, I actually didn't even know that I was going
00:48until you got stolen.
00:49Even though I've been missing for a week.
00:51I haven't been taking a lot of jobs lately,
00:53you know, so I've just been sitting there,
00:56parked down the road,
00:57and stuff I didn't even notice.
00:58So, just to be clear,
01:00you are stating you have not left your house since November 9th?
01:03Yeah.
01:04No.
01:05I think so.
01:06You think so?
01:08Did you go anywhere else?
01:09No, I didn't drive anywhere.
01:12Shemaz continues to claim he has no knowledge of any crimes.
01:16That he simply didn't notice his work truck was stolen.
01:19We asked him if he'd be willing to take a polygraph test,
01:22to which he agrees.
01:24Is your name Victor Shemaz?
01:26Yes.
01:26He bombs the polygraph test about as badly as you can,
01:29chose to be evasive or lying about nearly every question asked.
01:34In fact, the only question he actually appears to tell the truth on
01:37are his name and address.
01:39Of course, polygraph tests aren't always accurate,
01:42and they're not admissible in court.
01:44It's just a useful tool.
01:46But it was pretty obvious Shemaz was lying.
01:51So Shemaz manages to get himself arrested after it's discovered
01:54he's carrying a fairly large amount of methamphetamine
01:57and an unregistered handgun.
01:58Looks like Shemaz was trying to skip town.
02:00I just want to come and clear the air, you know.
02:04I don't know what you think I've done,
02:06but I have not killed anybody, okay?
02:11I have nothing to do with any of these fucking murders.
02:14Then why do I do us, Victor?
02:16I was at this quick and go.
02:18And somebody come and pulled me out of my truck
02:21and beat the shit out of me, okay?
02:24Like I thought I was a fucking dead man.
02:26And then he just takes my truck and that's it.
02:28So I don't say shit because I'm scared.
02:30But I have nothing to do with the fucking killers
02:33or the murderers or any of that shit.
02:35I swear to God, it wasn't me.
02:37Okay, slow down.
02:38It became evident Shemaz wasn't our guy.
02:41He was a scumbag, but he wasn't our scumbag,
02:44and he didn't really know anything.
02:46Although he did give us one new piece of information.
02:49So this guy that beat you up and attacked you,
02:51what did he look like?
02:52No, yeah, sorry, I should have mentioned that.
02:55But he was wearing, like, a mask, you know?
02:58But it's like a freaky-ass mask.
03:05He started wearing a mask.
03:08That meant only one thing.
03:10He had seen us on the news
03:11and knew we were actively pursuing him.
03:13But we wanted to make that loud and clear
03:15in his next letter.
03:29A few months go by, nothing new happens.
03:36And, of course, a part of me is thinking, hoping.
03:39Maybe that's it.
03:40Maybe it's already over and this guy's finished.
03:44Yeah, but another part of me, the cynical part,
03:47knows that can't be true.
03:49He'll let us know when he's finished.
03:53It's about 6 in the morning
03:54and I get a call from Joe.
03:56They found another body.
03:59Earlier this morning,
04:00a horrific discovery was reported to police
04:02here at the North Riverside Aquatic Center.
04:05This was a bad one.
04:07A group of skate kids broke into the building
04:10to check the place out and smoke weed.
04:12You know, just a couple of dumb teenagers.
04:17I doubt they'll be doing that again any time soon.
04:23When you first saw the body,
04:25it looked like it was covered in mud or slime or something
04:29because it was so shiny.
04:34Coroner's official cause of death?
04:37Fatal loss of blood by leeches.
04:41The victim's name was Dennis Zhao,
04:4443-year-old Chinese immigrant living in Riverside.
04:46He was last seen leaving an apartment
04:48he shared with several other people to catch a bus
04:51and was never seen again.
04:53His body's found four days later
04:54and he had only been deceased less than a day.
04:59The suspect had been breeding them, right?
05:02This particular type of leech
05:04takes about three weeks for the eggs to form and hatch
05:07and another two weeks to reach maturity.
05:11So he'd been preparing this thing for over a month.
05:14Coming here, day after day.
05:16Checking in on his babies.
05:18Feeding them.
05:19Keeping the water clean.
05:21Checking the pH.
05:23He might be a monster,
05:25but he does have some kind of paternal instinct.
05:29Then he abducts Dennis Zhao and he brings him here.
05:32Strips him naked.
05:33Puts him in the water.
05:35Creates this barrier around the deep end
05:38and all along the edges
05:40so he can't get out no matter how hard he tries.
05:43Then he begins releasing these things in the pool.
05:46The species found in the pool with Mr. Zhao
05:49is called H. stagnalis.
05:52In the case of H. stagnalis,
05:54it has this sucker on the front of its body
05:57that it uses to attach to the host.
06:01They have three small jaws that create a Y-shaped incision.
06:05That's how they get the tasty pay dirt.
06:12Leeches will consume up to ten times
06:14their own body weight and blood,
06:15which sounds like a lot,
06:18but it's really, it's like two teaspoons.
06:22This bloodletting by leeches process
06:24went on for nearly three straight days.
06:27The suspect just methodically keeps
06:29fishing out full leeches,
06:31adding more empties,
06:32on and on,
06:34as Dennis Zhao becomes more and more incapacitated.
06:38I've always been lousy at math,
06:39but basically took a shitload of leeches
06:42to kill Dennis Zhao.
06:44Eventually, up to his neck
06:45in this filthy leech-filled water,
06:47he finally succumbed to his injuries.
06:50Oh, and the reason no one ever hears
06:51screaming from the building?
06:54Zhao's tongue was cut out.
06:56A leech bite
06:58looks a little like the symbol, doesn't it?
07:01See how it's sort of a triangle?
07:04But like most clues,
07:05this just led to more questions.
07:07What do these dots mean?
07:09What the hell am I looking at?
07:11We later figured out that the suspect
07:13first got in contact with Mr. Zhao
07:15because of a Craigslist ad he posted.
07:18They had exchanged a few messages
07:19and then arranged to meet up for sex
07:21at a motel down the street from the pool.
07:23This finally led to the big break in the case.
07:26Our technicians were able to identify
07:28the IP address where the Craigslist ad
07:30was originally posted.
07:31The ad and subsequent back-and-forth messaging
07:34had been made from a coffee shop
07:36in Mission Grove on February 11th.
07:38This was a huge lead.
07:40We finally were able to trace
07:42the suspect's whereabout outside of a crime scene.
07:45I mean, I gotta admit,
07:46I was really starting to think
07:47we were chasing a ghost
07:49or a vampire or something.
07:51We did surveillance on the place
07:52for about a week.
07:54The last thing we wanted to do
07:55was draw any attention to ourselves
07:57that this guy was a regular, for example,
07:59and came in all the time.
08:01I mean, we were always hoping and praying
08:03maybe he swings by for a cup of coffee
08:05or place another ad,
08:07and just like that, we'd have him.
08:10No such luck.
08:11There were three employees working that day.
08:14None of them could remember the suspect.
08:16It's a popular place,
08:17so he may have picked it for that reason.
08:19No surveillance system,
08:21no cameras anywhere at all.
08:22But the area does have
08:24a large homeless population.
08:27Hey, excuse me, sir.
08:29Mind if I talk to you for a sec?
08:31That's, um,
08:33you're talking about the one near
08:34Antelka Park?
08:35Yeah.
08:36Yeah, that's it.
08:38I'm just sitting there, right?
08:40And he, uh,
08:42comes up to me,
08:43and, uh,
08:45you know what he wanted,
08:45and I want to hire you
08:47as day labor.
08:49Did he say what kind of labor?
08:51Um, landscaping.
08:53Working on a house or something.
08:55And you get in his car?
08:57Yep.
08:58What kind of car?
08:59Uh, like a
09:02sedan or something,
09:03like a, like a
09:04Luke Henry.
09:06When I started talking to this guy,
09:08my jaw was on the floor, man.
09:11But if he was telling the truth,
09:12this was huge.
09:14We even had a vehicle description,
09:15but it gets even better.
09:17Mr. Johnson tells us
09:18he knows where the suspect's house is.
09:21Apparently, the suspect
09:22had driven him to it.
09:29He didn't know the street address,
09:31but he says he thinks he can remember
09:33how to get there by memory.
09:35Apparently, he had been driven
09:36to a residence in Highgrove.
09:38Well, the suspect says he needs
09:39to grab some tools
09:40before they went to the so-called
09:42job site.
09:45And that's what brought us
09:47to 144 Artesian Avenue.
09:49After picking up a duffel bag,
09:51they get on the 215 headed north.
09:54Mr. Johnson said the guy
09:55seems normal, friendly,
09:57I mean, even conversational.
09:59And that brings us
10:00to the bracelet.
10:01Johnson says he found
10:02this bracelet in a trash container
10:04a few years ago.
10:05Says he just likes to wear it.
10:07Thinks it's cool.
10:08Apparently, the suspect
10:10asks him about it,
10:11starts grilling him.
10:12How long have you been a diabetic?
10:13Do you take insulin, etc.?
10:15Johnson tells him,
10:17the bracelet's not his.
10:18And then the suspect
10:19gets very visibly angry.
10:22Pulls off the highway,
10:24tells him to get out,
10:25drives off,
10:26and that's that.
10:27Johnson never sees him again.
10:31He's incredibly lucky.
10:33I believe if that bracelet
10:34had been real,
10:35if Johnson had fit
10:36whatever criteria
10:37our suspect was looking
10:38for,
10:39he would most definitely
10:40be dead right now.
10:41After learning all this,
10:42we go to the house.
10:44Just a normal house.
10:45We knock.
10:47Nobody's home.
10:48But we can't just kick
10:50the door in
10:50without probable cause.
10:52I mean, all we've got
10:53is the word of an
10:54unemployed drifter
10:55with a minor criminal record
10:56who he also paid
10:58for the information
10:59he gave us.
11:00That's not going to
11:00get us a warrant.
11:03And that's when I see it,
11:04above the door,
11:06staring us in the face.
11:08We kept most of the
11:09evidence we had,
11:10which wasn't much,
11:12pretty close to the chest
11:13as far as the media
11:14was concerned.
11:15That symbol,
11:16the image,
11:17was never released
11:18to the public.
11:19So nobody could know
11:20about it unless they were
11:21involved in one of the crimes.
11:23That was enough.
11:25We called in the cavalry.
11:54I don't know what I was
11:55expecting to find it there.
11:57Torture dungeon,
11:59haunted house,
12:00something from a horror movie.
12:03But it wasn't like that at all.
12:04It was banal, mundane.
12:08That doesn't mean
12:09it wasn't a little weird.
12:31A weird doesn't necessarily
12:32make you guilty.
12:33There was no evidence
12:34the person that lived there
12:35was involved in anything
12:36other than the symbol
12:37over the doorway
12:38and that was purely circumstantial.
12:42Look at this.
12:44That's just lovely, isn't it?
12:46The property owner
12:47was an older woman
12:48who lived in San Diego
12:49who said she had been
12:50renting the house to,
12:52you guessed it,
12:53someone who called themselves
12:54Albert Shiny.
12:56Apparently, Mr. Shiny
12:57was willing to pay
12:58for a year up front
12:58in cash,
12:59so she didn't ask
13:00too many questions
13:01and had only met him twice.
13:04So we start dusting
13:05for fingerprints.
13:06And we can't find any,
13:08literally,
13:08not one print,
13:09which makes no sense
13:10for the inside
13:11of someone's house.
13:12There should be
13:12thousands of them.
13:14I mean,
13:14was this guy wearing gloves
13:15every second of every day?
13:18Finally,
13:19we found some fingerprints
13:20on a telescope
13:21that was outside of the deck.
13:23Immediately got them
13:24out to the lab
13:24and run through the computer
13:26and boom,
13:29we got a hit.
13:30The print matched
13:31to the partial
13:31that was found in 95
13:32from the Noah LaFone murder.
13:35I couldn't believe it.
13:36We might have our guy.
13:40The fingerprints belong
13:42to a Leslie Sykes,
13:44born December 20, 1962,
13:47in Branson, Missouri.
13:50Homer Johnson,
13:51the homeless gentleman,
13:52swore Sykes
13:53was the person
13:54who had given him a ride.
13:55The woman who rented the house
13:57also ID'd him off his photo.
13:59Sykes had no criminal record,
14:00no employment history,
14:01no current address,
14:03no phone number
14:03or bank account.
14:04And big surprise,
14:06the guy hadn't paid taxes
14:07in more than two decades.
14:09Yeah, he really was a ghost,
14:10but he was our ghost
14:11and we had to find him
14:12before he killed again.
14:14Riverside police
14:15are asking for the public's help
14:16in locating this man.
14:1850-year-old Leslie Sykes
14:20is a person of interest
14:21in what has been dubbed
14:22as the Mr. Shiny murders.
14:24The killer in that case
14:26has now taken the lives
14:27of eight people
14:28in both San Bernardino
14:29and Riverside counties
14:30and is still at large.
14:32We tried to do
14:33a total media blitz,
14:34get this guy's picture
14:35in front of as many people
14:36as possible.
14:37The story got carried
14:38all over California,
14:39even in a few
14:41of the surrounding states,
14:42but no one was really
14:43paying attention.
14:44But one person
14:45that did see the coverage
14:46was Leslie Sykes.
14:50Leslie Sykes
14:51has been transfigured.
14:53You can't stop him
14:55or what he has become.
14:56Hail Azrabore.
14:58Hail Draco.
14:59You have no idea
15:00what I'm saying.
15:02Five to go
15:02and then you'll know.
15:04Five to go
15:05and then we'll know
15:08what.
15:09It was a sick game
15:10to him.
15:11But it was also
15:12absolutely serious.
15:13Would he really
15:14stop at five?
15:15The next murder
15:16happened less than
15:17a month later,
15:18March 19th.
15:20The victim was
15:22a 16-year-old
15:23high school student
15:24named Victoria McEnroe.
15:2816.
15:30She was alone
15:31at her parents'
15:32home in Highland.
15:33They had gone out
15:34to visit friends
15:35in Rancho Cucamonga.
15:37Sykes jumped the gate
15:38and entered
15:39through a first floor
15:40window at or around
15:41921.
15:42And we know this
15:43because it was
15:44caught on camera.
15:46Okay, so this is
15:47the Color Dreams palette
15:48by Adorable Damage.
15:50I am just obsessed
15:51with this brand lately.
15:52I actually reviewed
15:53their Shimmer Shadow palette
15:55in my Top 10 video
15:56and they are just
15:58killing it, okay?
15:59What I'm gonna do
16:00is I'm gonna go in
16:02for like kind of
16:02a smoky look
16:03with this one right here.
16:05And then you can just
16:07go in like a circular
16:08motion.
16:09You don't have to do
16:09a bunch of back and
16:10forth windshield
16:11wiper crap.
16:13So we'll start...
16:15No.
16:16Windshield wiper,
16:16that sounds stupid.
16:21Hey, I thought you
16:21were gonna text me
16:22on the way home.
16:23I'm starving.
16:27Mom?
16:28Mom?
16:30Dad?
16:37Mom!
16:40Mom!
16:43Mom!
16:49No, please!
16:51Please don't do anything!
16:52Please!
16:52My family didn't
16:53do anything!
16:54Please don't do anything!
16:55Please!
16:55No!
16:55Oh, my God.
17:33Good luck.
18:06The video glitch is pretty bad there, and it's hard to tell what's going on.
18:10We've combed over it frame by frame, but it's just too messed up to see anything clearly.
18:15But obviously Sykes was performing some kind of ritual.
18:20Ritual murder, strictly speaking, is a relatively obscure phenomenon, not just in the United
18:27States, but worldwide.
18:28It just doesn't happen that often in its purest form.
18:33To this day, people still believe that the Manson family was a satanic cult.
18:40It's not true.
18:41Of course, that's not to say that ritual murder never happens.
18:45There were the murder suicides in the Solar Temple cult, the Falls Rivers cult, Order
18:52of the Black Sun.
18:53The Mr. Shiny murders definitely seem ritualistic, but I didn't recognize any of the iconography.
19:01This wasn't some goetic rite pulled from a grimoire.
19:04There was nothing Abrahamic.
19:07As I told the police at that time, whatever it was, this guy was a true believer and very,
19:18very dangerous.
19:21This is all crazy in its own right, but what's truly unexpected is what happens next.
19:45Somehow Victoria survives being shot, not only in the head, but in the back twice, and the
19:50shoulder.
19:50This is probably because a .22 caliber weapon was used, and just incredible luck.
19:58Victoria?
19:59No!
20:00No!
20:02Emergency workers arrive in about 15 minutes, and they're able to stabilize Victoria on her
20:06way to St. Bernardine Medical Center.
20:09I wish I could tell you the story ended there.
20:13After going through surgery, she was put in the recovery ward, and I had multiple officers
20:17assigned to guard her room, just in case.
20:19And the hospital security was put on alert.
20:22It should have been enough.
20:29Sykes attacks and subdues a nurse, just getting off his shift in the hospital parking
20:34lot, takes his uniform and entry badge.
20:38He walks straight through the front doors, right past security, and goes to McEnroe's
20:43floor.
20:44I mean, he seems to know exactly where to go.
20:48He goes to the nurse's station, introduces himself to the other staff, says he was transferred
20:53from pediatrics.
20:55They believe him, says he knows all the vernacular and hospital procedure.
20:59Sykes quite literally cares for three different patients over a four-hour period.
21:03He walks by police and security several times, and has never noticed.
21:10Yeah, including by Joe or me.
21:15He was right there.
21:17We practically touched each other.
21:20If I had just been paying attention, if I had just looked into his eyes, I'll never forgive
21:27myself for not realizing just how bold he might really be.
21:31He waits until there's a shift change, enters the room for stored pharmaceuticals, and proceeds
21:37to poison an AB negative blood transfusion bag with an industrial cleaner he finds in
21:42a custodial closet.
21:43He knows that McEnroe is the only one with AB negative in the wing, and is the only one
21:48who will receive that bag.
21:51Then he leaves.
21:54Later that night, a nurse comes in to rotate out McEnroe's backup bag and unknowingly replaces
21:59it with the poisoned one.
22:02Victoria was dead within minutes, but Sykes was long gone by then.
22:06This was a huge blow to everyone involved in the case.
22:09The one victim that survived, we couldn't protect her.
22:14I mean, we were right there.
22:15We could have had him.
22:18Yeah, that was one of the roughest nights in my entire life.
22:25Can we take a break?
22:33It was a roller coaster.
22:41Realizing that she might be hurt.
22:46Then thinking that she might be okay.
22:53Thinking that she was okay.
22:57I know.
23:01Some days I feel like she's still here.
23:17Did you capture a room like this?
23:21Yeah.
23:22We couldn't touch it.
23:24I think about that saying a lot.
23:30I think about that saying a lot.
