00:00Keith Poe has spent the last 28 years
00:02Watch her man, she will kill you, I'm not kidding you
00:04Tagging over 5,000 sharks for researchers
00:08For the past decade, he's specialized in great whites
00:13And lately
00:15Weather goop, we got it man
00:16He's focused a lot of his tagging efforts
00:18In the waters off Point Conception to Morro Bay
00:22This is a relatively new hotspot for great whites
00:26A few years ago I understand you discovered a new white shark
00:29Hot spot off Central California
00:31Tell me about that
00:33Well, there were some attacks there
00:35And we were interested in that
00:37We've got guys just got hit by a great white shark
00:40I was hearing things like the attacks on the kayaks up there
00:44Those are holes on the great white shark
00:46Look at the size of that jaw
00:48Me
00:50So I thought there would be sharks up there
00:51Oh, she's coming around, hang on
00:53There you go, Keith, there you go
00:54So I started working that area
00:56And we found a lot of sharks up there
01:02Is there a certain time of the year
01:03That you personally would not go in the water near Morro Bay?
01:07I see the most sharks in October and November
01:09But they start coming in in September
01:11But they're here year round
01:14And they don't leave
01:16So there's no time that's safe
01:18But there are times that are a lot less dangerous
01:22Is Morro Bay
01:24The serial killer's new hunting ground?
01:29Back in San Luis Obispo
01:31Ralph continues his investigation into the Thomas Butterfield case
01:35Questioning one of the first responders on the scene
01:38William Miller, a detective with the coroner's office
01:43I believe you recovered a wetsuit
01:44Yeah, I had him transported in the wetsuit
01:47And then I removed it during examination
01:49And I retained it for further use
01:50Is it possible to take a look at that?
01:52Absolutely
02:08Yeah
02:11You can see from here to here
02:13Where the tooth entered, the insertion
02:16And from here to here
02:18And this is the intermediate tooth
02:20Multiple bites to this individual
02:23It appears that there's a bite in the shoulder area
02:27And of course, massive trauma to the abdomen
02:31So this shark, when it was moving through the environment
02:35Saw this fuzzy outline
02:37No definitive shape
02:39Thought it might be food
02:40And a reflexive response
02:42Went up, hit it
02:44And continued to bite
02:45And I think that's what happened here
02:47And then just swam off
02:49With your permission, Bill
02:51I'd like to take this wetsuit back to my lab
02:53Where I can do a more thorough examination
02:55Of the bite impressions
02:57Not only yes, but I think it's appropriate
