00:01In 1980, the mountain trails of central California are stained with blood by a sadistic killer.
00:08He was a hunter, he hunted people.
00:12He stalked his prey with ruthless determination.
00:15Behind the knife lies an evil, sadistic, and psychopathic killer.
00:20He executed his victims with cruel detachment.
00:23He killed the woman he worked with and then went to the theater that same evening.
00:28Who is behind these brutal murders?
00:31He was born to kill.
00:33If you let him go free today, within a week there will be women raped and murdered.
01:12In 1981, Henry Cowell State Park is a hiking mecca in Central California.
01:21It's a very famous place.
01:23Here people can use the park's facilities and go on excursions on foot or on horseback.
01:30It is popular with cyclists, campers and hikers.
01:37One day in March, Santa Cruz detective Stony Ebrook is also enjoying the peace and beauty
01:44of the park.
01:47It was my day off.
01:50My son and I were hiking in the park.
01:56We were heading this way from the river when I heard gunshots.
02:06The first thing I thought was to take my son away from there and then do my
02:13duty.
02:15After speaking with the park rangers, Stony arrives at the scene of the shooting.
02:21Not far from the path lies 21-year-old student Ellen Hansen.
02:27Right here.
02:29The undergrowth was very thick, you couldn't see the tree line like you can today.
02:35Ellen was still there, lying on the ground and it was pretty obvious that she had died right there.
02:49Ellen and her boyfriend, Stephen Hartle, had spent the day on the park trails.
02:56It was the Easter holidays.
03:00They attended the University of California at Davis.
03:04They were hanging out and went camping in the park.
03:08They went on a hike.
03:11They climbed the observation tower which offers a panoramic view of the valley.
03:18They were attacked right here.
03:22Ellen was killed by a gunshot to the head.
03:25And Stephen was shot in the neck.
03:28Seriously injured, he was taken to the hospital.
03:33Despite his injuries, he is able to describe the assault.
03:39Imagine a man suddenly appearing with a gun in his hand and saying to you
03:44what I want to do is rape your girlfriend.
03:47Leave the path and no one gets hurt.
03:50Ellen takes a few steps between him and Steve and says
03:54it will kill us anyway.
03:58He basically faces it.
04:03Then he fires the first shot and she falls to the ground.
04:07He fires another shot to the head which proves fatal.
04:11I have always had great admiration for Ellen's incredible courage.
04:17She is probably one of the bravest young women I have ever met.
04:25People on the observation tower claim to have seen a suspicious man.
04:30They saw him there, near the railing looking around and then he left.
04:36A few minutes after the shots were fired, they saw him returning and passing in front of the stairs.
04:45He was described as a man in his fifties, clean-shaven, wearing glasses and a cap.
04:52He was wearing a yellow jacket, a pair of faded jeans, and white shoes with stripes.
05:00A witness from a nearby area offers further clues.
05:06The man attracted the attention of a 10-year-old girl.
05:11He saw a man moving around frantically, who looked like he was trying to escape.
05:18He took a piece of cardboard and drew the outline of his little red car.
05:25It was... it was square.
05:28But the most precious testimony is yet to come.
05:33From his hospital bed, Steve is determined to describe the man who murdered his girlfriend.
05:38Steve had survived and although he had been injured in the throat and had great difficulty expressing himself orally,
05:46he did a great job with our profiler.
05:51He was holding the notebook in front of Steve, Steve took the back of his hand,
05:56he slapped it on the paper and said, that's him.
06:02No one knows that behind the man in the description lies the mystery that has been hovering for two years.
06:08on a series of bodies found in San Francisco Bay.
06:17In March 1981, Ellen Hansen was brutally murdered
06:22and her boyfriend seriously injured on the trails of Harry Cowell State Park.
06:28It is the latest in a series of attacks that began nearly two years earlier in Marin County.
06:38Marin County is located north of San Francisco.
06:45It is a county with relatively few inhabitants
06:49and is connected to San Francisco by the Golden Gate Bridge.
06:53Marin County has many rural areas that are relatively backward.
07:01So there's a strange mix of suburban areas and wilderness.
07:07Mount Tamalpais National Park dominates the Marin County landscape.
07:14It is almost 800 meters high and is visible in all its magnificence
07:18from most populated areas of the county.
07:22It is perhaps the most visible landmark in the region.
07:26Many people go hiking or biking.
07:30It's a very busy area.
07:32In August 1979,
07:35Edda Cain, 44-year-old bank manager,
07:38she is attracted by the beauty of mountain landscapes.
07:42Edda Cain was an avid hiker.
07:46He had planned to go on a hike that day.
07:50and had contacted a friend who was supposed to go with her.
07:54But eventually she ventured out on her own.
07:57That evening, Edda does not return home.
08:00When she didn't return, her husband called the police.
08:04The officers went to the scene,
08:07They found his car and started the search.
08:11We knew more or less where she liked to go.
08:16And we focused our investigations and research in those areas.
08:24Eventually they found the body.
08:31He was face down.
08:35And they had shot her in the head.
08:38She was naked.
08:41She only had her left sock left.
08:44The clothes he was wearing and his shoes were gone.
08:50It is the first murder in the park's history.
08:54And Edda's naked corpse outlines the murderer's moment.
09:00Obviously the first thought is that it could be sexual assault.
09:05If I remember correctly, among the evidence they managed to collect at the crime scene,
09:11there was a bullet from a 44 magnum.
09:14This is more or less the scenario they found themselves faced with at the time.
09:19The only way I can describe the crime scene
09:22is that there were some rather bizarre elements.
09:25I don't know if it was some kind of ritual,
09:27but it left a very strange feeling on you.
09:32Individuals position bodies in a variety of different ways,
09:36which are the product of their fantasies.
09:38And it is very difficult to interpret them,
09:40because the sexual fantasies of these individuals
09:43They are very different and unique in their kind.
09:46There are common features.
09:48They usually place the victim in degrading positions.
09:53Anyone who positions victims in particular ways
09:56is trying to expand the crime scene.
10:00and provoke a reaction in the first people
10:04who will arrive on site.
10:06They want to propagate their crime in some way
10:09so as to feel even more powerful
10:11just remembering what they did.
10:15Seven months later,
10:16Police are back on the trails of Mount Tamalpais again.
10:20Barbara Schwartz
10:23she was a young woman in her early twenties.
10:27and I believe that like many others after Edda Kane
10:30she was a little worried
10:31to hike up the mountain alone
10:34and then she brought her dog.
10:38There was another girl there that day too.
10:40who was walking along a path
10:42who witnessed some sort of brawl
10:45and she started screaming
10:46in an attempt to stop the attack.
10:49In the end, what he did
10:50it was running away for help.
10:54The police are in front
10:56to a chilling scene.
10:59She had been stabbed to death
11:01but they found the body on the path.
11:05The dog was with her
11:06and barked at people
11:08that were approaching her.
11:12The killer left
11:14a fundamental test.
11:17We found a pair of glasses
11:19with bifocal lenses.
11:22Investigators have established
11:24which were the glasses
11:26which they give to prisoners in prison.
11:28We've explored every possible lead.
11:30collecting any information
11:33on parolees
11:35and with a history of sexual offenses.
11:38We followed all possible leads.
11:45However, the next day,
11:47without the knowledge of the investigators,
11:48a former prisoner with a humble appearance
11:51he goes to an optician in San Francisco
11:53to replace his bifocal glasses.
11:57He is 49-year-old David Joseph Carpenter.
12:03He was bald.
12:05He wore glasses
12:07and he wasn't particularly tall
12:09or physically imposing.
12:12He stammered terribly.
12:13He couldn't finish a sentence
12:15without hesitation.
12:17He was a clumsy looking man
12:20and he was acting very strange.
12:25Carpenter, born in 1930,
12:28he had a difficult childhood.
12:30The father had a very weak personality
12:33and he was not a significant figure in his life at all,
12:37while the mother had a very straightforward character,
12:40dominant and aggressive.
12:42She was practically the head of the family.
12:46The mother was very domineering.
12:49He was extremely intelligent,
12:51but there was real friction between them.
12:53He had some problems
12:55and probably the mother
12:57he did not address them constructively.
13:01As the years go by,
13:02Carpenter's problems begin to emerge.
13:06Carpenter abused animals,
13:08he wet the bed,
13:09he suffered from enuresis.
13:10It's a child's signal
13:12who has many difficulties,
13:13who suffers a lot from stress.
13:15Over the years he could have
13:16take very different directions.
13:21At an early age,
13:22he developed a severe form of stuttering,
13:25which was very humiliating and frustrating for him.
13:29It could have been caused by stress,
13:31from a sense of inadequacy,
13:33from the inability to have
13:34a certain perception of oneself.
13:37He had no point of reference.
13:39He was insecure.
13:42He was forced to do things he didn't want to.
13:45At some point they forced him
13:47to take dance lessons.
13:49We are faced with a mother
13:51who tries to feminize the son
13:55through dance and music,
14:00rather than having him play sports.
14:02In this way,
14:03the child has accumulated anger and resentment
14:06towards women.
14:12Decades later,
14:13on the trails of Marin County,
14:15a series of murders is recorded
14:16of a sexual nature.
14:19Despite the efforts of the police,
14:21in 1980
14:22the killer strikes again.
14:26A man was jogging.
14:30On Mount Tamalpais
14:32there is an amphitheater
14:34from which you can enjoy a wonderful view.
14:36As he ran,
14:38he saw a woman sitting there.
14:40The woman sitting on the steps
14:42of the amphitheater
14:43It's 26-year-old Anne Alderson.
14:46She liked meditation
14:48and that's probably why he was there.
14:50He passed by her
14:52and initially
14:53he thought about stopping
14:54to warn her
14:55of the events that happened on the trails,
14:57but seeing her very concentrated
15:00he didn't do it.
15:04That evening
15:05Anne didn't come home.
15:08I was there
15:09when they found the body.
15:11She had been raped
15:13and brutally killed
15:15and it was positioned
15:17in a very similar way
15:19to Edda Kane.
15:20It seemed like a ritual gesture
15:23as if they had subjected it
15:25has psychological trauma
15:26before executing her.
15:30After the discovery
15:31of the third victim,
15:32the investigators
15:33they are convinced
15:34to have to deal with
15:35with a serial killer.
15:37The paths,
15:38once quiet,
15:39they become a nightmare place.
15:42After the third murder
15:43the mountain
15:44it's almost
15:46emptied.
15:52It's scary
15:53when people
15:54you can't hear it anymore
15:55safe
15:56and protected.
15:57Generally speaking
15:59the people
16:00they feel safe
16:01at home
16:02or at school.
16:04But here instead
16:05being treated
16:06of a park
16:06it was generated
16:08a higher level
16:10of fear
16:10what he did
16:12everyone run away.
16:14The patrols
16:15of the navy,
16:17those of the air force,
16:18community leaders
16:20and the associations
16:21hiking
16:22they collaborated
16:23to the nth degree.
16:25I patrolled
16:26the mountain
16:26on horseback
16:27with my men.
16:28They have been checked
16:30many licenses
16:31and numerous cars
16:33on the mountain.
16:34There was no car
16:35that it had not been
16:36stop
16:37and identified.
16:40How does a person do it?
16:42to perform acts
16:43like that?
16:44It goes beyond
16:44of every possible
16:45imagination.
16:4833 years ago
16:49at the age
16:5017 years old
16:51the behaviors
16:52by David Carpenter
16:53they always do it
16:54more alarming.
16:59He started
17:00to accomplish
17:01sexual violence
17:04since she was young.
17:06Effectively
17:07he accomplished
17:07sexual abuse
17:08towards
17:09of two cousins.
17:12As a child
17:13it was sent
17:14in an institution
17:15of correction
17:16minor.
17:18He has behind him
17:19many behaviors
17:21aberrant.
17:23Carpenter
17:24he had an impulse
17:25very strong sexual.
17:26His need
17:28to have sex
17:28was part of
17:29of this his
17:30violent anger.
17:31Furthermore
17:32on the way
17:32of stuttering
17:33he had many difficulties
17:35to meet
17:36the girls
17:36and behave
17:37appropriately.
17:39Therefore
17:40he felt
17:40frustrated
17:41and angry.
17:44A period
17:45of work
17:46in a reformatory
17:47seems to mitigate
17:48the impulses
17:49more violent
17:49by Carpenter.
17:51But then
17:52in 1960
17:53at the age
17:5430 years old
17:55David
17:56manifest
17:56all of his
17:57depravity.
17:59He was coming back
18:00At home
18:01he saw
18:02a girl
18:02who worked
18:03for the father
18:04and offered her
18:05a passage.
18:05He brought it
18:06at the garrison
18:07from San Francisco
18:08which was
18:09a military base.
18:12He threw it
18:13out of the car
18:14he tried
18:15to rape her
18:16and he beat her
18:17with a hammer
18:18but then
18:19it has arrived
18:19a military policeman
18:21who shot him
18:21and hit him.
18:23The wound
18:24it's not fatal
18:25but Carpenter
18:26is transferred
18:27to federal prison.
18:29Once discounted
18:30his punishment
18:31there is nothing left
18:32long
18:32at liberty.
18:33After being
18:34been released
18:36from prison
18:36federal
18:37from San Francisco
18:38David
18:39he kidnapped
18:40a woman
18:40he brought it
18:41on the hills
18:42and then
18:42he freed her.
18:44He's back
18:44in prison.
18:46I met him
18:47in court
18:48because they had me
18:49person in charge
18:50to represent it.
18:51At some point
18:52I went
18:53to find it
18:54in prison.
18:55He was a person
18:57with which
18:57to be able to speak
18:58on the contrary
18:59of many idiots
19:00what happened to me
19:01to defend.
19:02It wasn't
19:04troubled
19:05nervous
19:05angry
19:06as I saw
19:07others
19:07before him.
19:09The crimes
19:10by Carpenter
19:11they don't come
19:12classified
19:13as sexual
19:14and in 1979
19:15after spending
19:1717 years old
19:18behind bars
19:19the 49-year-old
19:20David Carpenter
19:21he served
19:22his punishment.
19:23I went
19:25to do a seminar
19:26pre-release
19:27and this individual
19:28bald
19:28it came to me
19:29encounter
19:30stammering
19:31pretty bad
19:32and he asked me
19:33if I was one
19:34of the agents
19:35of custody
19:36from San Francisco
19:37and I answered him
19:38yes.
19:42He was about to receive
19:44parole
19:45Then
19:46they sent it
19:47in a center
19:47of reintegration
19:49social.
19:5112 months later
19:53the police
19:54he can't do it
19:54to capture
19:55the killer
19:55that is terrorizing
19:56Marin County
19:57until one day
19:59of November
19:59of 1980
20:00it spreads
20:02the panic
20:02throughout the region.
20:07In 1980
20:08the police
20:10she is convinced
20:10that a brutal
20:11serial killer
20:12has targeted
20:13the paths
20:14of the mountain
20:14Tamalpais.
20:16Unaware
20:16of fear
20:17that grips
20:17the community
20:18a coast guard
20:20is about to move
20:21right in that area.
20:25Rick thought
20:27that it was
20:27that
20:28his destiny
20:28he knew
20:30to need
20:31of training
20:31and education
20:32and that could
20:34get them
20:34thanks to the coast guard
20:36I really liked it
20:37the center
20:38of training
20:38and I was
20:39very surprised
20:40because usually
20:42he didn't love
20:42do that
20:43what I told him.
20:46Richard Stowers

21:28they disappeared
21:30practically
21:31it was managed
21:32like a complaint
21:33of missing persons
21:35and in reality
21:36the coast guard
21:37had sent
21:38even
21:39a mandate
21:40due to absence
21:41not justified
21:41for the boy
21:43the disappearance
21:45by Richard
21:45and Cynthia
21:46is classified
21:47as a case

22:10Sky Trail
22:12it was the second

22:40thoroughly
22:41the park
22:41and finally
22:43they do the macabre
22:44discovery
22:45I saw
22:47a shoe
22:48that was appearing
22:49from some ferns
22:51I got closer
22:52and I found
22:53two corpses
22:55it's about
22:57of the bodies
22:57of the couple
22:58disappearance
22:58Richard Stowers
23:00and Cynthia Morland
23:02they shot
23:03them at the nape of the neck
23:04and they left them
23:05face to face
23:06down
23:06in the undergrowth
23:08Unfortunately
23:08he's not the only one
23:09discovery
23:10that will be done
23:10that day
23:13my boss
23:14he called me

23:18they were found
23:20four corpses
23:25the volunteers
23:26they don't find
23:26only
23:27the body
23:27by Diana O'Connell
23:28a few meters away
23:30away
23:31lies
23:32the naked corpse
23:33of the legal secretary
23:3423 years old
23:35Shona May
23:37he had raped them
23:39killed
23:40with a weapon
23:41by fire
23:41and had put
23:43the corpses
23:44one close by
23:45to the other
23:46he was placing
23:47his victims
23:48in positions
23:49that they did to her
23:49appear
23:50as if they were
23:51dominate
23:53the positions
23:55they were
23:55a clue
23:56of the fact
23:57that it was about
23:58of someone
23:58that would have
23:59continued
24:00to do it
24:01we stayed
24:03almost speechless
24:04because everything
24:05what it was
24:06success
24:07had destroyed
24:09nature
24:10and undermined
24:11tranquility
24:11of these areas
24:12the shock
24:14to discover
24:15four bodies
24:16in just one day
24:17it was a tragedy
24:19in the tragedy
24:23finally
24:24the investigators
24:25they have evidence
24:26consistent
24:27that connect
24:27the murders
24:28the only detail
24:31who knew
24:31after the discovery
24:32of the four corpses
24:34November 28th
24:34was that
24:36the bullets
24:36they corresponded
24:37to those used
24:39to kill
24:40Ann Alderson
24:41Therefore
24:42it was believed
24:43that the same person
24:44was responsible
24:45at least
24:46five murders
24:50the same bullets
24:52are used
24:53six weeks later
24:54to attack
24:55Ellen Hansen
24:56and Stephen Hartle
24:57in the park
24:58Henry Cowell
24:59of Santa Cruz
25:01the description
25:02provided by Stephen
25:03gives a face
25:04to the police
25:05but it's missing
25:06still the name
25:15meanwhile
25:16it seems that
25:17the 49-year-old
25:17David Carpenter
25:18intend to
25:20to resume
25:21in hand
25:21one's own life
25:22the two things
25:23to check
25:24of people
25:25on probation
25:26where they will go to live
25:28and where they will work
25:29David had decided
25:32to settle down
25:32from his elders
25:33parents in San Francisco
25:35but he had no idea
25:37where to work
25:39on the way
25:40of his past
25:42of sexual crimes
25:43Carpenter
25:44Carpenter
25:45it seems
25:45an ex-convict
25:46model
25:48it was very quiet
25:50every month
25:51he had to send
25:52a written report
25:53to say where he lived
25:55if he had moved
25:56where he worked
25:57how much did he earn
25:59if he had been arrested
26:00things like that
26:02Carpenter says
26:03to be ready
26:04to reintegrate
26:05in society
26:06but
26:07he is worried
26:08for your future
26:09it happened to me
26:11to talk to David
26:12in the course
26:13of the year and a half
26:14maybe two
26:14where I supervised him
26:17and it opened
26:18a lot with me
26:18he told me
26:19who felt old
26:21that he would not have perceived
26:22a pension
26:23that he didn't know
26:24what would have happened
26:25and it seemed sincere to me
26:26I think that a part
26:28of him
26:28she was terrified
26:30from the fact
26:30that he was an ultra
26:32forty-year-old
26:32which had been
26:33in prison
26:33several times
26:34and that he didn't know
26:36do nothing
26:43finally
26:43Carpenter
26:44find a job
26:45in the southern area
26:46from San Francisco
26:48the employment
26:49satisfied
26:50the requirements
26:51necessary
26:52because he worked
26:53in a room
26:54with only men
26:55but
26:55in an office
26:56Neighbor
26:57there were also
26:58of women

27:18to be solved

27:20let you take care of it

28:03Heather
28:04he had told him
28:05that had to go
28:06with a colleague
28:07to see
28:08a car to buy
28:10in Santa Cruz
28:13the colleague
28:14he had convinced her
28:15that it was about
28:16of a good deal
28:17and that if necessary
28:19he would have even
28:20helped pay for it
28:21lending her money
28:23and making it even more
28:24more palatable
28:25for her the purchase
28:26but he insisted
28:28on the fact
28:28that he shouldn't have
28:29tell no one
28:30where they were going
28:31This
28:32he annoyed Pengel
28:33who insisted
28:35to get it
28:36from Heather
28:36a telephone number
28:37in case
28:38had not returned
28:39she told him
28:41if I don't come back
28:42by seven o'clock in the evening
28:43it means
28:44that something happened to me
28:45the boy's fears
28:47by Heather
28:48they turn out to be well-founded
28:49never came back
28:51the detectives
28:52of San José
28:53they focus immediately
28:54attention
28:55on the colleague
28:55who accompanied her
28:58David Joseph Carpenter
29:01we talked
29:02with employers
29:03and we asked them
29:04which cars
29:05had access
29:06and with which car
29:07he came to work
29:08they told us
29:10David Carpenter
29:11drives two cars
29:12a blue station wagon
29:14with a personalized license plate
29:15and a small car
29:17foreign redhead
29:18which is parked outside
29:19Now
29:22oh interesting
29:23a small red car
29:26after speaking
29:28with employers
29:29we have called
29:31Richard Wood
29:32to the federal office
29:34from San Francisco
29:35I spoke directly
29:38with him
29:38to find out more
29:41about David
29:42understand who he was
29:43as it passed
29:44his days
29:45and what he thought about it
29:47Womack told me
29:48that Heather Skaggs
29:49she had disappeared
29:50and that David
29:51he was the last person
29:53who had seen her
29:53he told me
29:55I try to put myself
29:56in contact with David
29:57and then I'll call you back
29:59I was very anxious
30:00because it is never
30:02a beautiful thing
30:02when a guy like that
30:04he is the last person
30:05with which
30:06it was seen
30:07a missing woman
30:10days later
30:11the investigators
30:12they meet again
30:13face to face
30:14with David Carpenter
30:17when we asked him
30:20how did he do it?
30:20to meet Heather
30:22he twisted his face
30:23he turned sideways
30:25and started
30:26to stammer
30:27so bad
30:28which initially
30:29I thought
30:30had an epileptic seizure
30:32at the start
30:33it was very difficult
30:35talk to him
30:36Why
30:36he was stammering
30:38in a terrible way
30:39he was getting confused
30:41he was stammering
30:44trying
30:45to fool everyone
30:47but the detectives
30:48of the murders
30:49they don't leave each other
30:50to enchant easily
30:52in the course
30:54of the interrogation
30:54the answers
30:55by David
30:56they begin
30:57to arouse suspicion
30:58we did it to him
30:59some questions
31:00which we knew about
31:01the answers
31:02and he lied to us
31:03on some details
31:04important
31:05When
31:06I asked him
31:07of the cars
31:08who owned
31:09and who was driving
31:09he did not mention
31:11at all
31:11the red Fiat
31:12was
31:14the bell
31:14alarm
31:15which made us understand
31:16that there was something
31:17to be pursued
31:18when they ask him
31:20of his childhood
31:21Carpenter
31:22change your attitude
31:23in an alarming manner
31:24he said
31:26they forced me
31:28to take
31:29dance lessons
31:30and I couldn't stand her
31:32own
31:32I interrupted it
31:34for a moment
31:34when he did
31:35this comment
31:36and I told him
31:37you know David
31:40Me too
31:41when I was nine years old
31:42I did dance
31:44then he
31:45he raised his head
31:47he got up
31:49standing
31:50he put himself
31:51in position
31:52And
31:52he started
31:54to hint
31:54some basic steps
31:55of dance
31:57he told us
31:59the numbers
31:59of the positions
32:00Before
32:01second
32:02third
32:02he did not perform them
32:04Well
32:04but he remembered them
32:06and while it was
32:08standing
32:08to explain to us
32:10the positions
32:11he didn't stutter
32:12more
32:13all that
32:14that he said
32:15had a cadence
32:16natural
32:16stuttering
32:17she had disappeared
32:18as well as the face
32:19twisted
32:20it seemed to be
32:21really happy
32:22and safe
32:23of himself
32:25this is one
32:26some things
32:27who left us
32:28completely
32:28stunned
32:29it was theatrical
32:31really theatrical
32:34while the capacity
32:36by Carpenter
32:36to check
32:37severe stuttering
32:38it looks impressive
32:40the interrogation
32:41takes a turn
32:42left
32:43when we are there
32:44get up
32:45he said
32:45I pray to God
32:46that no one
32:47find his body
32:48and discover
32:48who was raped
32:53he looked at me
32:55straight in the eyes
32:55as if to tell me something
32:56and then
32:57I understand
32:59there were
33:00good chances
33:02that it was not a question
33:04of a case
33:05in person
33:06disappearance
33:07but of murder
33:08had killed
33:09Eder Skaggs
33:11we understood
33:13that the man
33:14that we had
33:15just met
33:16he was an individual
33:17shrewd
33:18it's very dangerous
33:22Carpenter
33:22is placed
33:23immediately
33:24under surveillance
33:25the detectives
33:26of the county
33:27by Marin
33:27and of Santa Cruz
33:28they unite
33:29to Robinson
33:29and Womack
33:30to understand
33:31if the man
33:31it is actually
33:32connected
33:33to the murders
33:34on the trails
33:34mountain
33:36after a week
33:37of interrogations
33:38and surveillance
33:39there are enough
33:41evidence
33:41to arrest Carpenter
33:44Stony Brook
33:45and the agent
33:46of the county
33:46by Marin
33:46Rich Keaton
33:47they go
33:48in San Francisco
33:49in the house
33:49in which Carpenter
33:50lives with his parents
33:54in San Francisco
33:56it was a day
33:57like everyone else
33:58foggy
33:59and gray
34:02given the precedents
34:03by Carpenter
34:04with weapons
34:05they have no choice
34:07I had with me
34:08one more gun
34:09that I owned
34:10for years
34:10and I had put it
34:11in the pocket
34:12left
34:12some trousers
34:13the plan
34:14it was to enter
34:15At home
34:16by David
34:16and to hug him
34:17the hand
34:18in this way
34:19I would have been
34:20able
34:20to answer
34:21Fire
34:21although
34:22probably
34:23I would have ruined
34:23the good dress
34:24we entered
34:26and I told him
34:29Hi David
34:31I am
34:32Stony Brook
34:34and I declare to you
34:35under arrest
34:36he did not oppose
34:38no resistance
34:39it has proven to be
34:40collaborative
34:41and submissive
34:42during the arrest
34:43we uploaded it
34:44in the car
34:45and we led it
34:46at the courthouse
34:47in a room
34:48for interrogations
34:49and David
34:50he appealed
34:51to his rights
34:52and asked
34:53a lawyer
34:54afterwards
34:56we don't have it
34:57most talked about
35:02nine days later
35:03the investigators
35:04they are called
35:05in a national park
35:06to the west
35:07of San José
35:08two hikers
35:11that they were
35:12going along
35:13this path
35:14in the park
35:15they heard
35:17a bad smell
35:18come from
35:19from this area
35:20and looking better
35:23they noticed
35:25that there was
35:25a corpse
35:26and they immediately
35:28warned
35:29the authorities
35:33the body
35:35belongs
35:35to my colleague
35:36by Carpenter
35:37Eders Cax
35:43the idea that we are there
35:45I'll do it myself
35:45and the detective
35:47Womack
35:48is that the body
35:49was found
35:50right here
35:51with the head
35:52facing the tree
35:54and in position
35:55parallel
35:56compared to this
35:57trunk
35:58moldy
35:58it was clear
35:59that someone
36:01had dug
36:02Enough
36:03to put it on
36:04in a pit
36:04shallow
36:06had covered it
36:07of dirt
36:08and debris
36:09and that he had it
36:11left there
36:13the discovery
36:14of the corpse
36:15by Eder
36:15provides investigators
36:17the connections
36:18that they were looking for
36:21according to the exams
36:22ballistic
36:23the bullets
36:24they corresponded
36:25to the gun
36:26used
36:27in the other murders
36:28and in the corpse
36:29there was his
36:30seminal fluid
36:31everything came back
36:32all the evidence collected
36:35they were leading back
36:36unequivocally
36:38to David Carpenter
36:41the discovery
36:43of Eder's body
36:44it's the confirmation
36:45that Carpenter
36:46he left behind
36:47at least nine victims
36:48but another one
36:50surprising revelation
36:52will reveal
36:53what is hidden
36:54behind
36:55to these crimes
36:56so brutal
37:00in 1981
37:02David Carpenter
37:03he is arrested

37:16contains a clue
37:17on desire
37:18of control

37:23that David

37:28without difficulty
37:29of language

37:37to stuttering
37:38when he couldn't

37:42something
37:42or someone
37:43he manipulated
37:44his life
37:45he had problems
37:46of communication
37:47and he stammered
37:49it was uncertain
37:50and insecure
37:51at the base
37:52of personality
37:53by David Carpenter
37:54there is this strange one
37:55dichotomy
37:58the David
37:59that was going
38:00hunting for victims
38:01who was driving
38:02the red car
38:03and he wore
38:04different clothes
38:05he didn't stutter
38:06this David
38:07he was a hunter
38:08a hunter
38:09of people
38:11while that one
38:12that everyone
38:13they saw
38:14the parents
38:15the children
38:15the brothers
38:16the sisters
38:17and I
38:17he was a man
38:19clumsy
38:21stuttering
38:23it's the result
38:24of his feeling
38:25insecure
38:26of his
38:27victimhood
38:28when he didn't know
38:29what happened to him
38:30now instead
38:31it was him
38:32to command
38:33so at the level
38:34psychological
38:35he had nothing
38:35to worry about
38:37when he felt
38:38powerful
38:38stuttering
38:39disappeared
38:42Despite
38:43the frustrating
38:43stuttering
38:44and the deep
38:45lack
38:46of safety
38:46Carpenter
38:47seems capable
38:48to adapt
38:49to any environment
38:52he had this
38:53unique ability
38:55to succeed
38:56to act
38:57a part
38:58based on
38:59to that
39:00that the others
39:00they were expecting
39:01from him
39:02for example
39:03if they thought
39:05that he was an idiot
39:06he behaved
39:07as such
39:09I didn't suspect
39:10minimally
39:11that he was going around
39:12to kill people
39:13unlike
39:14of many
39:14with him
39:15you could talk
39:16David Carpenter
39:18he had two faces
39:19that which people
39:22he saw regularly
39:23an insecure man
39:24harmless
39:25and that passed by
39:28unnoticed
39:29the other
39:30David Carpenter
39:31era
39:31a predator
39:33vengeful
39:34armed with a pistol
39:36or knife
39:36and that has transformed
39:38in an evil
39:39and brutal
39:40murderer
39:40sadistic
39:41and psychopath
39:43the capacity
39:44to divide
39:45in compartments
39:46ponds
39:46his life
39:47allowed
39:48to David Carpenter
39:49to pass by
39:50unnoticed
39:50long
39:52the day
39:53in which
39:54Heather Skaggs
39:55she was killed
39:56do you know what he did?
39:58he went to the theater
39:59It is one of the features
40:02that are found
40:03in this type
40:04of personality
40:04the ability
40:06to perform actions
40:07without showing
40:08the slightest empathy
40:09it's like they turn on
40:11and turn off
40:12a switch
40:14how is it done?
40:14to kill
40:15brutally
40:17a woman
40:17or a man
40:18and then
40:20six
40:20or seven hours
40:22After
40:22go to dinner
40:23out
40:24at the theater
40:24to have a drink
40:26with friends
40:27without thinking twice
40:28David Carpenter
40:30he was an individual
40:31evil
40:32sneaky
40:33and cunning
40:35if Carpenter
40:37he was able
40:38to behave
40:39in that way
40:39to be like this
40:40chameleon-like
40:41to succeed
40:42to say
40:42all that
40:43that the others
40:44they wanted to hear
40:45there was no reason
40:47to see
40:47danger signs
40:52what prompted
40:53Carpenter
40:54to commit
40:55these acts
40:55perverse
40:57the rape
40:58it's a crime
40:59which implies
40:59candies
41:00and dominion
41:00if it's treated
41:01just about this
41:02it's a theme
41:03recurring
41:03in all his crimes
41:05what we know
41:06is that over the years
41:06sixty
41:07he spent
41:08a long period
41:09in prison
41:09which came out
41:11in 1980
41:12and that at the age
41:1449 years old
41:15he committed
41:15all these murders
41:18wanting to reduce
41:20everything to the bare minimum
41:21David Carpenter
41:23it was one
41:25rapist
41:26serial
41:26with a wish
41:28sexual
41:28insatiable
41:29that he couldn't
41:30more to control
41:31the only way
41:33to continue
41:34to satisfy
41:35his need
41:36era
41:37eliminate
41:39all the witnesses
41:42a phenomenon
41:43common
41:44regard
41:44molesters
41:45and rapists
41:47that come
41:48arrested
41:49and put in prison
41:50is that
41:50when they come
41:51released
41:52they think
41:52I won't stop
41:53I will kill them
41:54so as to
41:55don't leave
41:55witnesses
41:56This
41:57it seems
41:57own
41:58to be
41:58the case
41:58by Carpenter
41:59he had decided
42:01to kill
42:02all his victims
42:07Carpenter
42:08he is sentenced
42:09to capital punishment
42:10for the series
42:11of brutal rapes
42:11and murders
42:12in California
42:13central
42:14the moment
42:15of his crimes
42:16it is to be traced
42:18in his childhood
42:19or was born
42:20to kill
42:22the mistreatments
42:23suffered
42:24as a child
42:26they must have had
42:27a deep
42:28impact
42:29on its development
42:29psychological
42:30as an adult
42:32and they have
42:34laid the foundations
42:35to create
42:37the monstrous
42:37murderer
42:38that Carpenter
42:40has become
42:42I do not believe
42:43that Carpenter
42:44be a murderer
42:45born
42:45I think that
42:46the environment
42:47where he grew up
42:48it is not for him
42:48favorable state
42:49there is nothing
42:51that you indicate
42:51that he was born
42:52to kill
42:53but
42:53at a young age
42:54it was glimpsed
42:56the risk
42:57that could
42:58become
42:58that guy
42:59of murderer
43:01There are
43:02very many
43:03thousands
43:03of people
43:04that they have
43:04had
43:05problems
43:05serious
43:05like these
43:06during childhood
43:07but that's not
43:08they go around
43:09to kill
43:09all these women
43:10they don't end
43:11in prison
43:12and so on
43:13so it is
43:14undeniable
43:14that in each one
43:15of these cases
43:16there is one
43:17significant
43:18component
43:20neurobiological
43:20and that not
43:21can be
43:22explained
43:22completely
43:23with problems
43:24psychosocial
43:30in the arm
43:31of death
43:32of San Quentin
43:32Carpenter
43:33continue to
43:34to proclaim oneself
43:35innocent
43:36but his motivations
43:38they cannot be
43:39brought back
43:40exclusively
43:41to his past
43:42had
43:44a childhood
43:44difficult
43:45agree
43:46I accept it
43:49but if you compare
43:50my childhood
43:51with his
43:52I'm not then
43:52so different
43:55it's one of those
43:56people
43:57completely
43:57devoid of morals
43:59and even if
44:00today has
44:01over 80 years old
44:04I'm sure
44:05that if today
44:06be released
44:07in the round
44:09of a week
44:09there would be
44:11women
44:11raped
44:12or murdered
44:13of a childhood
