00:00He struck again over the weekend, shooting a young couple in a Brooklyn lover's lane, and today the girl died.
00:05The c***er's sixth victim. He's wounded seven of them.
00:10Have you ever thought about what life is like for serial c***s locked away in prison?
00:14What are they thinking as they spend their days and nights in cells, cut off from the world they once
00:19terrorized?
00:21Join us as we venture into the dark realm of crime, where once feared serial c***s now exist as mere
00:27shadows of their former selves.
00:28These are the eight most dangerous serial c***s currently rotting in jail.
00:34Charles Cullen, often referred to as the angel of death, was a nurse who committed his heinous acts in a
00:40place where people expected care and safety, hospitals.
00:44Over a 16-year career across various medical facilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Cullen c***ed an unknown number of
00:51patients, with estimates ranging from dozens to potentially hundreds.
00:55Cullen had a tragic start in life.
00:57Both of his parents died before he finished high school, and he often found himself the target of bullies.
01:04Despite these challenges, Cullen managed to enroll in the U.S. Navy, serving aboard a submarine.
01:09Due to issues fitting in and crew members bullying him, his time in the Navy was brief.
01:15After his discharge from the Navy, Cullen married and had two daughters, but his marriage ended in divorce in 1993.
01:22He began working in various medical centers across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where his c*** spree would start.
01:29Cullen's method of c***ing was insidious.
01:31He administered lethal doses of medications to his patients, often choosing drugs like digoxin and insulin, which he injected into
01:39the patient's IV bags.
01:41At St. Barnabas Medical Center, Cullen committed his first known c***ing.
01:45He admitted to c***ing several patients there using poisoned IV bags.
01:49When suspicions arose, Cullen would move to another hospital, continuing his deadly pattern.
01:55He worked at Warren Hospital in New Jersey, where he c***ed three elderly women with lethal doses of digoxin.
02:01Despite the growing suspicions and occasional investigations, Cullen managed to pass a polygraph test and continued to find work due
02:09to a national shortage of nurses.
02:10His c***ing technique didn't change much over the years, and Cullen frequently lethally injected victims who were already on the
02:17mend.
02:18His final c***ing were committed at Somerset Medical Center.
02:22Cullen's behavior finally raised red flags when he began requesting medications for patients not under his care, and accessed records
02:29of patients he wasn't assigned to.
02:31The hospital alerted the police, and Cullen was eventually fired for falsifying information on his job application.
02:37Charles Cullen was under surveillance for weeks before being arrested.
02:42During a conversation with a colleague who was wearing a wire, Cullen revealed details about his crimes.
02:47He claimed he c***ed patients to save them from suffering, but many of his victims were in stable condition before
02:53his interventions.
02:55On March 2, 2006, Cullen received 11 consecutive life sentences and was not eligible for parole until the year 2403.
03:03Joseph James D'Angelo Jr., also known as the Golden State C***, is a former police officer whose crimes spanned
03:10over a decade, terrorizing California.
03:13D'Angelo is responsible for numerous c***ing crimes, burglaries, and c***ing, earning him different nicknames in various regions due to
03:21his changing modus operandi.
03:23In the San Joaquin Valley, he was known as the Visalia Ransacker.
03:26He then moved to Sacramento, where his series of unwanted c***ing actions earned him the name of the East Area
03:33Rapist.
03:33His c***ing in Southern California, including Ventura, Orange County, and Santa Barbara, led to him being called the original Night
03:40Stalker.
03:41D'Angelo's criminal methods were sophisticated and methodical.
03:45He often prepared for his crimes meticulously, breaking into homes to unlock windows, unload guns, and hide ligatures for future
03:52use.
03:53Initially targeting women who were alone, he later shifted his focus to attacking couples.
03:58He would bind both partners, then take the woman into another room to touch her while the man remained tied
04:03up.
04:04After these horrific acts, he would leave quietly, leaving his victims in a state of fear and uncertainty.
04:10His c***ing were brutal and cold-blooded.
04:13In one instance, he chased down and shot a couple who were walking their dog after they attempted to flee
04:17from him.
04:18The proximity of this crime to other attack locations allowed the FBI to link it to the East Area Rapist.
04:24Despite numerous composite sketches and extensive investigations, D'Angelo evaded capture for years.
04:31He communicated with his victims and the police, sometimes through phone calls,
04:36further taunting them and demonstrating his control over the situation.
04:39The key to D'Angelo's eventual capture was advanced DNA technology.
04:44Investigators used genetic tracing to identify distant relatives of D'Angelo,
04:49constructing extensive family trees to narrow down the suspect list.
04:53In a covert operation, police collected DNA from D'Angelo's car door handle and a tissue in his garbage,
04:59which matched samples from the Golden State c***.
05:03Deputies from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office arrested D'Angelo on April 24, 2018.
05:09He faced multiple counts of first-degree c***.
05:12In a plea bargain to avoid the death penalty, D'Angelo pleaded guilty to 13 counts of c*** in 2020.
05:19The statute of limitations had passed for the sexual attacks and burglaries, preventing additional charges.
05:25Joseph James D'Angelo is currently serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole.
05:31He is incarcerated in protective custody at California State Prison, Corcoran.
05:36His arrest and conviction brought closure to one of the most prolonged and terrifying chapters in California's criminal history.
05:46In the early 2000s, while imprisoned in Montana, Scott Lee Kimball claimed to be a hitman.
05:52He adopted the nickname Hannibal, inspired by a fictional serial c***, though he wasn't known as a c*** at that
05:58time.
05:59His criminal record included theft, bad checks, and forgery.
06:03But Kimball had a darker secret many will soon come to find out.
06:06He was indeed a c***, particularly of women.
06:09Kimball devised a plan to get released from prison by offering to inform on a f***-for-hire plot involving
06:15his cellmate Steve Ennis and Ennis' girlfriend, Jennifer Markham.
06:20Markham, a 25-year-old Denver stripper and mother, had become acquainted with Kimball.
06:25During this period, the FBI was investigating a major ecstasy operation in Denver,
06:30and Kimball convinced them he could infiltrate the drug ring and provide valuable information.
06:35By December 2002, Kimball persuaded the FBI to employ him as a paid informant,
06:41partly due to the f***-for-hire angle involving Markham,
06:44who was a potential witness in a DEA methamphetamine case against Ennis.
06:49Ennis allegedly sought to eliminate another witness and planned to use Markham for this purpose.
06:55Kimball's scheme worked, and by the end of the year, he was released from prison with minimal supervision.
07:01Tragically, within a few months of his release, Jennifer Markham disappeared.
07:06Between August 2003 and September 2004,
07:10Kimball's uncle, Terry Kimball, along with Casey McLeod and Leanne Emery, also vanished.
07:16Terry Kimball, originally from Georgia, was living with his nephew in Colorado at the time of his disappearance.
07:21In a twisted turn of events, Scott Kimball married Casey McLeod's mother, Lori,
07:27and they spent their honeymoon in the area where Casey's remains would later be found.
07:31The investigation of Kimball was complex, involving FBI Special Agent Jonathan D. Grusing
07:37and Lafayette Police Department Detective Gary Thatcher, among others.
07:41They faced a convoluted case spanning multiple jurisdictions,
07:45and involving several federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
07:50Grusing's involvement began in November 2006, when Kimball became a suspect in the four
07:55The FBI's Denver office assigned him to investigate the
07:59for higher allegations around Jennifer Markham's disappearance.
08:02Grusing learned that Kimball had claimed an associate of Ennis Markham due to her potential
08:07testimony against Ennis in the methamphetamine case.
08:10As Grusing delved deeper, he found that both Markham's and Kimball's cell phones had been
08:15inactive from February 17th to 20, 2003, despite significant prior contact between them.
08:22Kimball claimed he had been in the mountains near Craig, Colorado during this period,
08:26but was evasive about his activities.
08:29Jennifer Markham's father, Bob, and Casey McLeod's father, Rob,
08:32took proactive steps in investigating their daughter's disappearances,
08:36feeling law enforcement wasn't sufficiently engaged.
08:39Bob Markham publicized Jennifer's case through billboards and media appearances,
08:43while Rob McLeod connected the dots between Kimball and both missing women.
08:48The family's investigations revealed a third person connected to Kimball,
08:52his uncle Terry, had also disappeared.
08:54They presented their findings to the FBI, which led to a more serious investigation into Kimball.
09:00Grusing's findings included that Markham's last cell phone usage was on February 17, 2003,
09:07and her car was found at Denver International Airport, with no record of her on outbound flights.
09:13Kimball had spun a tale that she had gone to New York City to purchase a gun for hire plot.
09:19Further investigations led to discoveries about Leanne Emery's disappearance.
09:23Emery, an avid caver, vanished in January 2003.
09:27Her car was found abandoned in Utah, and her credit cards were used across several states,
09:32though not by her.
09:33However, email correspondence suggested she was involved in something dangerous,
09:37referring to orders from Hannibal.
09:40In early 2009, Kimball struck a plea deal,
09:43pleading guilty to two counts of second-degree m**** and the deaths of Terry Kimball,
09:47Jennifer Markham, Leanne Emery, and Casey McLeod.
09:51He agreed to assist authorities in finding his victim's remains.
09:54The remains of Leanne Emery were found in Utah,
09:57and Terry Kimball's remains were located in Vail Pass.
10:00Casey McLeod's remains were identified in Colorado.
10:04However, Jennifer Markham's remains have never been found.
10:07Kimball was sentenced to 53 years in prison on theft and other charges,
10:10and received an additional 70-year sentence for the m****.
10:14His estimated parole eligibility date is July 28, 2056, when he would be 89 years old.
10:23Dennis Rader, famously known as the BTK c****, grew up in a family where he didn't get much attention.
10:29His parents were usually busy, working late hours, leaving Dennis and his siblings to fend for themselves.
10:35As he grew up in Wichita, Kansas, Rader started showing signs of disturbing behavior.
10:40He found pleasure in hurting animals, a trait that is often linked with deeper psychological issues.
10:46Rader's inner world was filled with dark s*** fantasies, particularly about hurting helpless women.
10:52This was a secret part of his life that he managed to keep hidden from everyone around him.
10:57To the outside world, Dennis Rader was just a regular guy, polite and well-mannered.
11:02Little did they know about the monster lurking beneath this facade.
11:06He completed high school, but didn't do well in college, dropping out after just one year.
11:11Rader then served a brief stint in the U.S. Air Force.
11:13He got married in 1970 and started a family, having two children.
11:18His career path was varied.
11:20He worked different jobs and eventually graduated from Wichita State University in 1979, where he studied criminal justice.
11:28Rader's work at a home security company is particularly chilling.
11:31He installed cameras for clients who were worried about the BTK c****,
11:35not knowing that the c**** they feared was the one helping to secure their homes.
11:40Besides his professional life, Rader was also active in his church and served as a scout leader.
11:45The four Otero family members on January 15, 1974, marked the beginning of the horror Rader unleashed.
11:53The investigation found semen at the crime scene, but none of the victims had been s***ly assaulted.
11:59Rader sought recognition for his crimes.
12:01He left a letter in a book at the Wichita Public Library, detailing the m**** and revealing the name he
12:07wanted to be known by, BTK, standing for BIND, TORTURE, m****.
12:13In April of that year, Rader attacked a 21-year-old woman in her home.
12:18Her brother, who was shot during the attack, survived, but the woman did not.
12:22Rader continued his spree, strangling more victims in 1977.
12:27He wrote to a nearby TV station, desiring fame and frustrated by the lack of media attention.
12:33Rader's final known s*** was in 1991, after which the case went cold.
12:37In 2004, when it was speculated that BTK might have died, Rader sent evidence from his ninth s*** to the
12:44police, reigniting the case.
12:46Over the next year, he sent multiple communications to the police, desperate to regain the spotlight.
12:52The end of Rader's reign of terror came due to his overconfidence.
12:56He sent a floppy disk to the police, asking if it could be traced.
13:01The police lied that it couldn't, and when Rader sent the disk, they found metadata linking it to him.
13:07DNA evidence from the first b**** scene matched Rader's, leading to his arrest.
13:11On August 19, 2005, Dennis Rader was found guilty of ten counts of b**** and is currently held in solitary
13:19confinement at El Dorado Correctional Facility.
13:22Kristen Heather Gilbert, born in Fall River, Massachusetts on November 13, 1967, was an intelligent young woman whose life took
13:31a dark turn.
13:32As the first child of Richard, an electronics engineer, and Claudia, a stay-at-home mom and part-time supply
13:39teacher, Kristen grew up in a seemingly normal environment.
13:42She had a younger sister, born in 1974, who excelled academically, breezed through her classes, and enjoyed typical childhood activities
13:51like watching soap operas and babysitting.
13:53However, during her teenage years, after the family moved to Groton, Massachusetts, Kristen's behavior started changing.
14:00She became a compulsive liar, often concocting elaborate stories, including claiming to be related to Lizzie Borden, the infamous figure
14:09from Fall River accused of a***** in 1893.
14:13Kristen graduated high school with honors at just 16, and pursued a degree at Bridgewater State College.
14:20During this period, she began exhibiting troubling behaviors, including verbal and physical abuse towards her boyfriends.
14:26At 19, Kristen met Glenn Gilbert, whom she married in 1988.
14:31After graduating with a nursing degree, she took a job at the Leeds Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Massachusetts in
14:381989.
14:39Her performance as a nurse was notable for its competence and effectiveness, particularly in cases of medical emergencies.
14:46However, during this period, her life took a sinister turn.
14:50Kristen's marriage was turbulent, with incidents like chasing her husband with a knife.
14:54In the mid-1990 SS, she started an affair with James Perrault, a hospital security guard.
15:02This was also the time when an alarming number of deaths occurred in her ward, earning her the nickname Angel
15:07of Death among colleagues.
15:09These deaths were initially not seen as suspicious due to the patient's health histories.
15:13In 1995, Kristen's affair became more serious, and her behavior at work became more suspicious.
15:21Patients began to suffer inexplicable cardiac arrests and deaths under her watch.
15:25By February 1996, her colleagues raised concerns, and an investigation into the unusual number of deaths on her shifts commenced.
15:34As the investigation unfolded, Kristen's personal life unraveled.
15:39She separated from her husband and checked into psychiatric facilities intermittently.
15:43It was during one such stay that she confessed to her lover, James, about her guilt over the patient's deaths.
15:50In 1998, Kristen Gilbert faced grave charges that shook the foundations of the medical community and the public's trust in
15:58healthcare professionals.
15:59The allegations were numerous and horrifying, multiple counts of b**** and attempted b****.
16:05The authorities were compelled to undertake a meticulous and unsettling investigation, which included the exhumation of bodies.
16:12These exhumations were critical as they aimed to detect the presence of epinephrine in the deceased systems.
16:19Epinephrine, commonly known as adrenaline, is a medicine that, while used in medical emergencies, can be lethal in high doses,
16:27or when administered improperly, causing cardiac arrest.
16:30The case progressed to a high-profile trial in 2000, a proceeding that garnered significant media attention and public interest.
16:38The trial was extensive and complex, featuring over 70 witnesses, each contributing pieces to a disturbing puzzle.
16:44These testimonies ranged from colleagues who worked alongside Gilbert at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center to experts who provided insights
16:52into the medical aspects of the case.
16:54The prosecution presented more than 200 pieces of evidence, painting a picture of Gilbert's actions and the resulting tragic consequences.
17:02The prosecution argued that Gilbert, a licensed nurse, exploited her medical knowledge and access to lethal substances to commit these
17:10heinous acts.
17:11They suggested that her motivations were varied, ranging from a desire for attention and excitement during emergency situations, to deeper,
17:20more sinister psychological impulses.
17:22In 2001, after careful deliberation, the jury found Kristen Gilbert guilty on multiple counts.
17:28The verdict was three counts of first-degree ***, one count of second-degree ***, and two counts of attempted
17:34***.
17:35The gravity of her crimes was reflected in the severity of the sentence, four consecutive life terms without the possibility
17:42of parole plus an additional 20 years.
17:44This sentence meant that Gilbert would spend the rest of her life behind bars, a decision that brought a sense
17:50of justice to the families of the victims, though it could never compensate for their loss.
17:55Kristen Gilbert was subsequently incarcerated in a federal prison in Carswell, Texas.
18:00Her case remains a stark reminder of the potential for evil hidden behind a facade of professionalism and care.
18:07It raises questions about trust, responsibility, and the mechanisms in place to detect and prevent such crimes within critical professions
18:15like nursing.
18:16Gilbert's actions not only ended innocent lives but also cast a shadow on the noble profession of nursing, leaving an
18:23indelible mark on those who knew her and on the public consciousness.
18:26The Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs, a name that sends chills down the spine, refers to two 19-year-old individuals, Viktor Sayenko
18:35and Igor Suprunyuk, who committed a series of heinous crimes in Ukraine.
18:40In a span of just a few weeks in 2007, they were responsible for over 20 ***, a spree that
18:46shocked and horrified the nation due to its brutality and randomness.
18:50Their first known attacks occurred on June 25, 2007.
18:55Extreme violence characterized the day as they ****** a 33-year-old woman who was merely walking down the street.
19:01Within the same hour, they targeted a man sleeping on a bench, beating him beyond recognition.
19:07These initial crimes set the tone for their subsequent actions, characterized by indiscriminate ****** and extreme cruelty.
19:15As July 2007 unfolded, the body count and horror escalated.
19:20On July 1st, two more victims were discovered.
19:24Within just a few days, three additional people were brutally ******.
19:28The maniacs seemed to choose their victims at random, often targeting those who appeared vulnerable, like the elderly, children, or
19:36those under the influence of alcohol.
19:38Their method of ****** was particularly gruesome.
19:40Most of the victims were bludgeoned to death with blunt objects, like hammers, leaving their bodies ****** and unrecognizable.
19:48Some victims were even tortured before their deaths, with reports of eyes being gouged out while they were still alive.
19:54The maniacs didn't just ******.
19:56They also robbed their victims, selling stolen items in local pawn shops.
20:01The brutality and apparent lack of motive made the case especially challenging and terrifying for both the public and law
20:08enforcement.
20:09The breakthrough in the case came from the testimony of a surviving victim and witnesses to one of the scooter
20:14attacks.
20:15The police were able to generate a composite sketch of the attackers, which eventually led to the arrest of the
20:21trio on July 23rd, 2007.
20:24Sayenko and Suprunyuk were apprehended while attempting to sell stolen goods, while their accomplice, Alexander Hanja, was arrested in his
20:32home.
20:33Upon arrest, the extent of their crimes was revealed through the disturbing content found on their cell phones, including videos
20:40and pictures of their ******.
20:41The three were charged with 29 incidents, encompassing 21 ****** and eight additional attacks.
20:47During the trial, Sayenko and Suprunyuk were found guilty of premeditated ****** and sentenced to life in prison.
20:54Hanja, who was not directly involved in the ******, was found guilty of robbery and received a nine-year prison
21:01sentence.
21:02The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs ****** spree stands as one of the most horrific crime waves in recent history.
21:07Their actions not only took the lives of many innocent people, but also left a lasting scar on the psyche
21:13of a nation,
21:14showcasing the depths of human depravity and the importance of swift and effective law enforcement response.
21:20Gary Leon Ridgway, known as the Green River ******, was one of the most notorious serial ****** in U.S.
21:26history.
21:27His story is both disturbing and complex.
21:30From a young age, Gary exhibited troubling behavior.
21:33He had a difficult relationship with his mother and was known to have violent thoughts.
21:38As a teenager, he even stabbed a young boy, signaling the beginning of his violent tendencies.
21:43After graduating high school at the age of 20, Ridgway joined the U.S. Navy, where he served in Vietnam.
21:50During his time in the military, he frequently visited ****** workers and contracted gonorrhea,
21:55a fact that further fueled his anger and hatred, particularly towards women.
22:00A string of marriages and a burgeoning religious zeal characterized Gary's life after the military.
22:05He married three times, having a son during his second marriage.
22:09Despite his outward show of religiosity, Ridgway couldn't suppress his dark urges.
22:14He continued to solicit ****** workers, driven by a deep-seated loathing.
22:19The Green River ****** first known victim was a 16-year-old girl who went missing after leaving her foster
22:24home.
22:24Her body was later found in the Green River, giving Ridgway his infamous moniker.
22:29Over the next few years, Ridgway's crimes escalated in both frequency and brutality.
22:35He targeted mostly ****** workers and runaways, making him particularly difficult to track.
22:40Ridgway's method was cold and calculated.
22:43He would strangle his victims and often return to the bodies for necrophilic acts.
22:48Another notorious serial ******, Ted Bundy, first suggested this horrifying detail while consulting with the police about the case.
22:56By 1982, it was evident to the police that they were dealing with a prolific serial ******.
23:02The Green River Task Force was established, but Ridgway evaded capture for years.
23:06In the 1980s and 1990s, he is believed to have ****** at least 71 women, making him the second most
23:14prolific serial ****** in U.S. history.
23:16The breakthrough in this case came through DNA technology.
23:20Samples taken from Ridgway in the 1980s were matched to evidence from the ******, leading to his arrest in 2001.
23:28In a chilling confession, Ridgway revealed the extent of his crimes, claiming to have lost count of the number of
23:35women he ******.
23:36On November 30th, 2001, Gary Ridgway was arrested at his workplace, with DNA evidence linking him to the Green River
23:44******.
23:44He was charged with multiple counts of ******.
23:47In a bid to avoid the death penalty, Ridgway struck a plea deal in 2003, agreeing to help locate the
23:54remains of his victims.
23:55He was eventually convicted of 49 ******, but confessed to more.
23:59Gary Ridgway is currently serving life imprisonment without the possibility of parole at the Washington State Penitentiary.
24:06His case remains one of the most disturbing and significant in the history of American crime.
24:12David Berkowitz, better known as the Son of Sam, terrorized New York City in the late 1970s with a series
24:19of brutal shootings.
24:19Richard David Falco was born on June 1st, 1953, and Nathan and Pearl Berkowitz, a Jewish-American couple, adopted him
24:29a few days later.
24:30They changed his first and middle names to David Richard Berkowitz.
24:33Following high school, Berkowitz joined the United States Army, served honorably, and was discharged in 1974.
24:41Afterward, he sought out his birth mother, Betty, to learn about the circumstances of his birth and adoption.
24:48This revelation seemed to have a profound impact on Berkowitz, who already displayed signs of antisocial behavior.
24:55Berkowitz's first known attack occurred in 1975 when he used a knife, but both victims survived.
25:01After this failed attempt, he switched to using a handgun.
25:04His first shooting, attributed to the Son of Sam, occurred on July 29, 1976, targeting two women, Donna Loria and
25:13Jody Valenti, sitting in a car.
25:16Loria was f***ed instantly, while Valenti survived with injuries.
25:19This attack marked the beginning of Berkowitz's reign of terror in New York City.
25:24His method was consistent.
25:25He targeted young women, usually sitting in cars, and shot them without warning.
25:30The randomness and apparent motivelessness of the attacks created widespread fear and paranoia.
25:36The media frenzy around these c***s was unprecedented.
25:40Berkowitz taunted the police and the public with letters, reveling in the chaos he caused.
25:45He claimed to be under the control of a demonic entity in the form of a dog named Sam in
25:50these communications and referred to himself as the Son of Sam.
25:55Berkowitz's attacks continued through 1976 and 1977, with each incident seemingly more brazen than the last.
26:03He varied his locations and victims, but maintained his method of sudden, violent shootings.
26:08The police, under intense pressure to catch the c***, launched one of the biggest manhunt operations in New York City's
26:15history.
26:15The break in the case came from a parking ticket issued near the scene of one of the shootings.
26:20The police traced the car to Berkowitz, leading to his arrest on August 10th, 1977.
26:26During his arrest, Berkowitz appeared calm and even said,
26:29Well, you got me.
26:30During interrogation, Berkowitz confessed to the shootings and claimed that he was obeying orders from a demon that possessed his
26:36neighbor's dog.
26:38He was charged with multiple counts of b***h and sentenced to six consecutive life sentences in prison.
26:44Over the years, Berkowitz has altered his account of the events, at times claiming that he was part of a
26:49satanic cult.
26:51David Berkowitz is currently serving his sentence at the Shawan Gunk Correctional Facility in Ulster County, New York.
26:57His case remains one of the most notorious in American criminal history,
27:02epitomizing the fear and paranoia of a city under siege by seemingly random and inexplicable violence.
27:08What did you think about these people?
27:11Let us know in the comments.
27:39Let us know in the comments.
27:42One, two, three, four…
27:42…and shopping at the local market, scouting for their next unsuspecting victim.
27:46Today, we'll be delving into four chilling and notorious cases of serial killers still active in 2024.
27:5675.
27:57That's how many people the Chicago Strangler is believed to have killed within the span of 19 years.
28:02But with a body count sitting at such an astonishing number, why hasn't the killer ever been caught?
28:08Why has law enforcement done nothing to look into the murders?
28:11And why is this case so polarizing?
28:14The murders take place in Chicago's South and West Side neighborhoods,
28:18the earliest of which dates back to 1999 with a woman named Angela Ford.
28:23Angela had left home to pick up her children's report cards.
28:26She went missing, not to be found until days later when she was found unconscious.
28:30She remained in a coma and eventually died a year and a half later, in 2001.
28:35In 2002, another woman was killed in a horrible way.
28:39The pattern continued in 2007, when the body of Teresa Bunn, who was eight months pregnant, was found in a
28:45dumpster.
28:46The very next day, the body of a woman named Hazel Lewis was found in a burning trash can at
28:52an elementary school.
28:53For clarity, by the end of 2019, the police had managed to solve 24 of the 75 cases,
28:59resulting in the arrests of 13 different men.
29:02But that still leaves 51 victims unaccounted for, all murdered in a pattern that is hard to miss.
29:08Everybody was found in similar locations in the neighborhoods of Chicago's South and West Side,
29:13either in abandoned buildings, alleyways, garbage bins, parks, or snowdrifts.
29:18A lot of the women had a history of prostitution, often had previous experiences with the justice system,
29:24and about three-quarters were black.
29:26Most victims were found in trash cans, plastic bags, or bound and gagged.
29:31They were all killed in a gruesome way.
29:33The brutality of their deaths can only be inferred from the way their bodies were found.
29:37But despite this, the media is all but lukewarm on the matter,
29:42and law enforcement has been hesitant to jump on the idea that the murders were perpetrated by a single killer.
29:48The Chicago Strangler is the name given to the perpetrator of the crime,
29:52the single serial killer that many believe is behind the murder.
29:57Thomas Hargrove, founder of the Murder Accountability Project,
30:00is one of the many who believe there's a serial killer at large in Chicago.
30:04In his words,
30:05We know this is a series.
30:07We have no doubt.
30:08First of all, almost all of the victims were recovered out of doors,
30:12often in alleyways or abandoned properties.
30:15That's pretty unusual.
30:16At least three-quarters of the victims' deaths had a clear erotic component.
30:21The victims were found partially disrobed or completely nude.
30:24He declared in his conclusion,
30:2651 different men did not kill these 51 women.
30:30Many of these women, probably most of them,
30:32were killed by men who had killed before.
30:34He also pointed out the fact that the murders stopped in 2014 before kicking back up in 2017.
30:41He believes this is because the killer was imprisoned at the time.
30:44However, despite the similarities between the cases,
30:48the belief of the general public and the work of the Murder Accountability Project,
30:52the Chicago police still believe the deaths were isolated incidents.
30:59Our next case occurred on the island of Kauai, Hawaii,
31:02and it involves a serial killer that has not been identified to this day.
31:06On the 7th of April, 2000,
31:08the body of a woman was discovered in a ditch close to Polihale State Park,
31:12a remote wild beach on the western side of the Kauai, Hawaii.
31:16The woman, 38-year-old Lisa Bissell, had been heavily assaulted before her death.
31:22An investigation led to the discovery that she had been abducted from another part of the island
31:26before being murdered.
31:27Daughter as well, a sister, you know.
31:32So, you know, you do understand what the families go through.
31:37There was no way to conclusively identify who her killer in Kauai was
31:42until only a month later, another woman was attacked.
31:45This time, she lived to tell her harrowing tale.
31:48It was May 22, 2000,
31:50and a 52-year-old woman was working in her yard when a strange man approached her.
31:55The man spoke up saying,
31:57My name is John, and I'm homeless.
31:59Being the kind person she was,
32:01the woman told him about a neighbor who frequently let homeless people camp out on their property.
32:06After giving him the necessary directions,
32:09she turned around to continue the work she was doing.
32:11That's when the man struck.
32:13He grabbed her and violently pulled her behind the house.
32:16There, he attacked her, causing serious injuries and trauma.
32:20During the assault, he attempted to inflict further harm with a knife,
32:24but the weapon was rendered ineffective.
32:26Panicked, he threw the knife in a bush and fled the scene.
32:30The woman had to crawl for three hours until she reached a telephone and called for help.
32:34But she survived and was able to miraculously climb two-story stairs and call for help.
32:41Even after experiencing such a traumatic event,
32:44the woman was able to describe her attacker for a sketch of the man to be made.
32:48However, on August 30, 2000, the attacker struck again.
32:53The decomposing body of a woman was found at a remote campsite near Pakala Point Beach.
32:58The 43-year-old Maui resident, Darren R. Singer,
33:02tragically lost her life after a severe and brutal assault.
33:06The extent of the violence rendered her unrecognizable.
33:10Investigators determined that she was murdered at least 12 hours prior to the discovery of her body.
33:14A large memorial service was held in her honor,
33:17but it was clear that the attacks had rocked the island.
33:19However, investigators were sensing a pattern in the attacks.
33:23The victims all fell around the same demographic.
33:26Middle-aged Caucasian women with similar heights and weights.
33:29They had all been alone when attacked only to meet a violent assault and the end of a knife.
33:35Moreover, all the attacks took place on the west coast of Kauai.
33:39A few months after the attack,
33:41the 52-year-old victim who'd survived the killer's attack
33:44was flown to Honolulu and shown a police lineup.
33:47The woman was able to eliminate two men from the lineup as being the perpetrator,
33:52but was not able to narrow down the lineup any further.
33:54The police conducted extensive inquiries,
33:57including questioning 70 individuals with relevant criminal backgrounds on the island.
34:02The main person of interest in the investigation was identified as Waldorf Roy Wilson Waldorf,
34:07who had a previous conviction for serious offenses in Oahu in 1983,
34:11moved to Kauai in January 1999 as part of his parole arrangement.
34:17However, within a year, he faced arrest for not adhering to his parole conditions,
34:22which occurred amidst inquiries into other serious allegations.
34:26Due to his presence on the island during the time of the attacks,
34:29his history, and his parole violation,
34:32the police strongly believed that he had their guy.
34:35But Wilson sued the Kauai County Police Department
34:37and a magazine that ran the story that he was accused of the murders for defamation.
34:42The lawsuit was later dismissed,
34:44and Waldorf would walk out of this case a free man for entirely different reasons.
34:49His DNA was tested against the DNA of the perpetrator,
34:52and the result was inconclusive.
34:54Because of this,
34:55he was never charged with the two murders and the vicious attack of the surviving victim.
34:59It is believed that, to this day,
35:02the Kauai Killer, or John,
35:04patiently waits on the island looking for vulnerable women to attack.
35:07Our next case involves a name so infamous in 11 murders that are far from being solved.
35:13You may have already heard of this New York serial killer,
35:16but the true extent of his crimes is more harrowing than you can imagine,
35:19and his 14-year reign of terror is yet to be crowned with his arrest.
35:24From 1996 to 2011,
35:26a series of tragic incidents in Long Island
35:29led to the loss of at least 10 lives,
35:32with the possibility of more yet to be discovered.
35:35Many of the identified individuals were using Craigslist for their work,
35:39which led to the perpetrator being referred to as the Craigslist Ripper.
35:43However, the term Long Island serial killer emerged under different circumstances.
35:48The discovery of the victims was an unintended outcome during an unrelated investigation.
35:53On December 11, 2010,
35:56the Suffolk County Police Department Missing Persons Bureau
35:58was conducting an investigation into the disappearance of 24-year-old Shannon Gilbert,
36:04a woman who had gone missing after fleeing from a client's home.
36:07Before she completely fell off the radar,
36:10she made a harrowing 23-minute-long call to 911 saying,
36:13They are trying to kill me.
36:16Officer John Mallia was tasked with the responsibility of searching for Shannon
36:20with his trained cadaver dog, a German shepherd named Blue.
36:24The officer kept his search designated for a gated beach community
36:27on Ocean Parkway in Oak Beach, Suffolk County.
36:30It was the last place Shannon had been seen,
36:33so it was as good a place as any to begin looking.
36:36Unfortunately, for the entirety of summer 2010,
36:40Officer Mallia was nowhere closer to finding the missing woman.
36:43That was, until that day in December 2010,
36:47when Officer Mallia decided to widen his field of search.
36:51The first discovery of human remains
36:53was made by the side of Ocean Parkway in Oak Beach on December 11, 2010.
36:58He started searching the shoulder of the parkway,
37:01away from the gated area but still in the area,
37:03going off on FBI data indicating that dumped bodies
37:07are frequently found close to roadways.
37:09It was like a car pulled up and opened the door
37:12and the bodies were dumped into the bushes.
37:14During the search, Blue, the trained cadaver dog,
37:17detected something unusual.
37:19They found skeletal remains, but these were not of Shannon Gilbert.
37:23Instead, they belonged to Melissa Barthelemy,
37:26a 24-year-old from Erie County, New York,
37:28who had been missing since July 12, 2009.
37:32Melissa, who had been using Craigslist for work,
37:35had met with a client on the night she disappeared.
37:37That evening, she made a bank transaction of $900
37:41and tried to contact a former boyfriend.
37:43The call didn't go through, and Melissa was never seen again.
37:47However, the story doesn't end there.
37:50One week later, Melissa's teenage sister, Amanda,
37:53began receiving strange phone calls.
37:55I was so excited.
37:57Oh my God, Melissa's finally calling me.
37:59And then there's a guy on the other end.
38:01The calls received were deeply unsettling and offensive,
38:04believed to be from the individual responsible for Melissa's disappearance.
38:08The caller made derogatory inquiries about Amanda's relationship to her sister,
38:13growing more distressing over time.
38:15This alarming series of calls lasted for five weeks,
38:19concluding with the caller grimly informing Amanda of Melissa's fate
38:23and making a chilling statement about it.
38:25Authorities traced the calls to Madison Square Garden,
38:28Midtown Manhattan, and Massapequa,
38:30but were unable to determine who was making them.
38:34Melissa's body wasn't the only one found on Ocean Parkway that day.
38:38While searching the scene, three more bodies were discovered.
38:41Another victim, Maureen Brainerd Barnes,
38:43was 25 years old when she went missing.
38:45She was from Norwich, Connecticut,
38:47and was last seen on July 9, 2007.
38:50That night she called a friend in Connecticut
38:52and told her that she was planning on meeting a client outside of the motel
38:56and planned to spend the day in New York City.
38:59The mother of two, in an effort to support her family
39:02and manage her mortgage payments,
39:04initially turned to Craigslist for income.
39:06She later transitioned to an escort job at a Super 8 motel in Manhattan.
39:10However, facing the challenge of an eviction notice,
39:13she felt compelled to return to her previous line of work.
39:16After she'd gone missing, her friend Sarah Carnes
39:19received a phone call from an unfamiliar number.
39:22The man claimed he'd seen Maureen alive working at a brothel in Queens.
39:26He didn't give Sarah the location of the brothel or identify himself,
39:30but he did say he would call her back later with an address.
39:33He never did.
39:35The third body found that day belonged to 22-year-old Megan Waterman,
39:39a mother from South Portland, Maine,
39:41who went missing on June 6, 2010.
39:44Like the other victims,
39:45she'd placed advertisements on Craigslist as an escort.
39:48At the time of her disappearance,
39:50she was staying at a motel in Hopage, New York,
39:5315 miles northeast of Gilgo Beach.
39:56Sadly, Megan had been a victim of human trafficking,
39:59and her disappearance that night ended in her gruesome death.
40:02The final victim was 27-year-old Lynn Costello of West Babylon, New York,
40:07a small town just 10 miles north of Gilgo Beach.
40:10She went missing on September 2, 2010,
40:13after going to meet up with a stranger who had called her several times
40:16and offered $1,500 for her services.
40:20The four bodies were found approximately 500 feet from each other
40:23and were dubbed the Gilgo Four.
40:25The flap was selected because its ability to take dampness, moisture, and breathe,
40:31which would promote decay, as well as act as camouflage.
40:36Again, the story is far from over.
40:38The following year, on March 29th and April 4th, 2011,
40:42in Suffolk and Nassau counties,
40:45six more bodies that police had been dumped earlier
40:47than the four first found were discovered.
40:49The bodies were found in another parkway near Oak Beach and Gilgo Beach,
40:54about two miles east of those found in December.
40:57The first individual discovered in this case was 24-year-old Valerie Mack,
41:02also known as Melissa Taylor,
41:04who was reported missing in 2000.
41:06Initially, only part of her remains were found in a wooded area
41:09near Halsey Manor Road and Mill Road.
41:12Further searches in April 2011 led to the discovery of additional remains.
41:17It wasn't until May 2020 that she was finally identified.
41:21Another victim, Jessica Taylor,
41:23was also dismembered and disposed of in a similar manner.
41:2734-year-old Karen Vergata met a similar fate.
41:30Other discoveries included the bodies of a mother and her child
41:33and the body of a cross-dressing male simply dubbed Asian male.
41:38There are other possible victims that haven't been conclusively tied
41:41to the Long Island serial killer,
41:42but with a clear modus operandi identified and a laundry list of victims.
41:46It was hard to ignore that there was a serial killer on the loose.
41:50The real question was, who was he?
41:52In September 2017, a prosecutor suggested John Bittroff,
41:57a carpenter from Manorville with two previous murder convictions,
42:01might have been responsible for some of the Gilgo Beach cases.
42:04He was arrested, and although he was convicted for two separate earlier murders,
42:09no statement was made on his involvement in the Gilgo Beach murders.
42:12In July 2023, a 59-year-old Nassau County resident was arrested and charged
42:18with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello.
42:22He is also the prime suspect in the death of Maureen Brainerd Barnes.
42:26The man, Rex Andrew Heuermann, became a suspect after a Chevrolet avalanche identified by a witness
42:32and linked to one of the killings was registered in his name.
42:35His cell phone records also revealed that he had been in contact with three of the four victims.
42:40It was discovered that the man had peculiar taste.
42:43His search history revealed sadistic materials and images of the victims and their relatives.
42:49His DNA was also linked to hair found on the burlap wrappings of one of the bodies.
42:53He pleaded not guilty, but ultimately had no conclusive ties to the ten victims found.
42:59It's theorized that the killer possibly has a law enforcement background,
43:03judging by how he's managed to elude capture for so long.
43:06And as for Shannon Gilbert, the woman whose body started it all,
43:10her body was found a year after the remains of the Gilgo Four.
43:14And although her cause of death remains contested,
43:17with police claiming accidental drowning while an independent autopsy determined possible strangulation,
43:22it is believed that her murder is an isolated incident unrelated to the Long Island serial killer case.
43:29Her now-deceased mother strongly believed otherwise.
43:32The Jeff Davis Eight, also known as the Jennings Eight,
43:36is a case shrouded in mystery through and through.
43:39This series of unsolved murders took place between the years 2005 and 2009 in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana,
43:47when the bodies of eight women were found in swamps.
43:50No one knows how they got there or has any idea who took their lives,
43:54but the hunt for a killer began with the discovery of the body of 28-year-old Loretta Lewis in
43:59a river.
44:00It was the 20th of 2005, and a fisherman was out on the Grand Marais Canal's East Fork,
44:06a few miles southwest of Jennings, angling when he found a body floating in the river.
44:12Loretta was last seen three days before her death, and she was found partially clothed and shoeless.
44:17The advanced decomposition caused difficulty identifying her cause of death,
44:22but an autopsy found Loretta had no physical injuries.
44:25The toxicology analysis indicated the presence of significant amounts of substances and alcohol in her system.
44:32However, the exact cause of her passing remained undetermined.
44:36It didn't take long before the authorities discovered that Loretta's wasn't the only skeleton in the waters, so to speak.
44:42The body of 30-year-old Ernestine Marie Daniels Patterson was soon discovered on June 18th in a drainage canal
44:49off L.A. Highway 102.
44:50The mother of four, Iota State University employee and Jennings resident, was last seen on June 16th, 2005, and her
44:59body was found partially clothed.
45:01Her death was ruled a homicide, and two people were arrested and charged with two N-degree murder, but were
45:07later released due to lack of evidence.
45:09The third victim was 21-year-old Kristen Gary Lopez, who was discovered by a fisherman on March 18th,
45:16completely nude in the Petit Jun Canal, a rural area near Cherokee Road right off L.A. 9, about 10
45:22miles south of the town of Welsh.
45:24Again, the autopsy reports remained inconclusive on the cause of death, but toxicology results showed high levels of alcohol in
45:31her system.
45:32In May 2007, Frankie Richard and his niece, Hannah Connor, were arrested in connection with Lopez's death.
45:39The pair were also questioned about the other deaths before Kristen's body was even found because Richard was reportedly seen
45:46with three of the victims in the last days of their lives.
45:49However, again, charges were dropped due to lack of evidence and conflicting witness statements.
45:55Also arrested was Tracy L. Chaison, who reported Kristen missing.
46:00Investigators believed she knew where the body was when she made the report, and again, the charges were dropped due
46:06to lack of evidence and conflicting statements.
46:09The next victim, 26-year-old Whitney Dubois, was found nude on the May 12th, 2007, at the intersection of
46:17Bobby and Earl Duhan Roads,
46:19approximately five miles outside of Jennings, Louisiana.
46:23Cause of death undetermined, high levels of alcohol and drugs were found in her system.
46:28On May 29th, 2008, the remains of 23-year-old Laconia Muggy Brown were discovered on Rocca Road, near a
46:35police training area.
46:37She was found without shoes and wearing a white tank-top-style shirt, which had changed color, possibly due to
46:43a diluted substance.
46:45It appeared that she had suffered significant harm, and unusual measures had been taken with her remains.
46:50She was last seen two days prior to the discovery, and it is believed that her remains were placed on
46:56the road only hours before they were found.
46:59Investigators are working to understand the full circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
47:04Next was 24-year-old Crystal Shea Benoit-Zeno, who was found on September 11th, 2008, near a dry irrigation
47:12canal a few miles from Jennings, Louisiana.
47:14The woman was married with a daughter, and she loved to spend time with family and friends.
47:19According to her parents, Crystal, who went by Shea, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 12, and started using
47:26certain substances to cope with the illness.
47:28On the day her body was discovered, hunters reported a foul smell in a wooded area to authorities.
47:34Her body was found on the Lacour Road levee, off L.A. Highway 1126, a few miles southeast of Jennings.
47:42She was so badly decomposed that she wasn't identified until two months later with DNA.
47:48The seventh of the Jeff Davis Eight was also the youngest.
47:51Seventeen-year-old Brittany Gary was last seen walking out of the family dollar store in Jennings.
47:56She never came back home.
47:58Sometime that same day, she was kidnapped, and although her family hoped she would be found alive soon, that wasn't
48:05the case.
48:06On November 15th, 2008, her deceased body was found in a grassy area outside Jennings.
48:12She was a trusted friend of Christine Gary Lopez and knew several of the other victims.
48:17The final body, that of 26-year-old Nicole Guillory, was found off Interstate 10 on August 19th, 2009.
48:25Due to the advanced state of decomposition, determining the exact causes of death for most of the victims proved challenging.
48:32Investigations did indicate that Ernestine and Laconia suffered severe injuries, but conclusive details regarding the others were not ascertainable.
48:41While authorities hypothesized that asphyxia might have been involved, the state of the remains left many questions unanswered.
48:48What we do know for certain is the strange connection between the victims.
48:52While the other cases we've looked at involves victims who were total strangers to one another, the Jeff Davis Eight
48:58knew each other well.
49:00Some were even blood-related with Kristen Gary Lopez and Brittany Gary being cousins, and Gary living with Crystal Benoit
49:07shortly before her death.
49:08Investigators also revealed a pattern of similar traits that the eight shared.
49:12They were all living in poverty, suffering from mental illness, and all had histories of working in the Jennings South.
49:18Another peculiar tidbit is the victims' connections with law enforcement.
49:23All the women served as informants for the police about the local illegal medicine trade, and some even provided police
49:29with information about other Jeff Davis Eight Victims Before Their Own Deaths.
49:34One of the victims, Kristen Lopez, witnessed the police shooting and death of a dealer named Leonard Crochet in 2005.
49:41She also knew Alvin Bootsy Lewis, the boyfriend of victim Whitney Dubois and father of her child, as well as
49:47the brother-in-law of the first victim, Loretta Chaison Lewis, along with several individuals connected to the Jeff Davis
49:53Eight case.
49:54It seems that, when it comes to this case, each victim isn't the target of a serial killer hungry for
50:00power.
50:01It's that of a calculating murderer looking to shut witnesses up.
50:05Despite the fact that Leonard Crochet was unarmed when police shot and killed him, a grand jury's investigation revealed that
50:11there was no evidence to support a negligent homicide charge against the officers.
50:16But the decision put out an entire flurry of rumors against the police.
50:21Witnesses told investigators they believed the police had killed many of the victims because of what they knew about the
50:26shooting of Leonard Crochet.
50:28In December 2008, a task force consisting of 14 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies was formed to solve
50:36the Jeff Davis Eight case.
50:38And although the task force searched for a serial killer from the outset, the more an investigator looked into it,
50:44the more the connections between the victims were brought to light.
50:47It was even revealed that the families of the victims believe that the police are actually responsible for the deaths.
50:54Ethan Brown, an investigative reporter who has been documenting the case, revealed that task force investigative reports present witness interviews
51:02in which local law enforcement were implicated in the murders.
51:05Two female inmates confessed to working with the sheriff's office to dispose of evidence in the Lopez case.
51:11But strangely enough, the sergeant who took their statements was forced out of his job, and the allegations were ignored
51:18by law enforcement.
51:19In an interview, Nicole Guillory's mother, Barbara, gave Ethan Brown insight on her daughter's behavior.
51:26She said,
51:27She was always paranoid. It got to the point where she did not want to go anywhere by herself.
51:32Adding,
51:33I think she could feel that they were closing in on her.
51:35Nicole even refused to celebrate her 27th birthday.
51:46Before her death, Guillory housed her four children with relatives.
51:50A task force witness revealed that in her final days, she was scared of someone, but she would not say
51:55who.
51:56Nicole also mentioned that she knew who killed the girls.
51:59Barbara believes that her daughter was murdered because she witnessed the corruption of local law enforcement.
52:03To Brown, she said,
52:06She used to tell us all the time it was the police killing the girls.
52:09We'd say,
52:10Nicole, a name, something.
52:12Write a letter and leave it somewhere.
52:14Let us know.
52:15We can help you.
52:16No, Mama.
52:17It's too far gone.
52:18It's too big.
52:19I'd rather y'all not know anything.
52:21That way, nothing can happen to you all.
52:23She knew, and that's why they killed her.
52:26Several other families of victims have similar stories.
52:28Ethan Brown wrote,
52:51Again, task force witness interviews corroborate the Brown family accounts,
52:58with one individual telling the investigators,
53:01Laconia Brown told her that three police officers were going to kill her.
53:05When it comes to the accusations of corruption and misconduct lodged against the Jennings Police Force,
53:10it's an understatement too, say the list is long.
53:13Back in the 70s, local law enforcement was riddled with officers who dabbled in illegal medicine trafficking.
53:20In March 1990, two locals broke into the sheriff's office, stealing an eye-watering 300 pounds of illegal substances.
53:28When one of the burglars was interviewed, he confessed that Frankie Richard and Ted Gary,
53:33who was the chief deputy sheriff at the time, were his accomplices.
53:36No charges were brought against the two men.
53:39There have been reports of sheriffs using parish funds to purchase personal items illegally,
53:44sheriffs unlawfully and purposefully stopping cars with out-of-state plates,
53:49even more reports of improper dealings with inmates,
53:51and even the murder of one officer and his wife by another officer.
53:55Perhaps Ethan Brown is right to think that there's no serial killer at work here,
53:59because the crimes of the Jennings law enforcement are hard to ignore.
54:03In October 2003, eight female Jennings cops filed a civil rights lawsuit in federal court
54:09against Jennings Police Chief Donald Lucky Deloosh,
54:13a group of male officers, and the city of Jennings,
54:16accusing them of constant violence and harassment.
54:19In the complaint, a woman reported inappropriate and unwelcome behavior
54:24from a captain towards female officers.
54:26This included suggestive comments and an alleged incident
54:30of coerced intimate contact with a female officer.
54:33In January 2013, former Jennings Police Chief Johnny Lasseter
54:38was hit with a slew of charges after a Louisiana State Police audit found $4,500 in cash,
54:441,800 pills, more than 380 grams of the white stuff,
54:49and several pounds of other substances missing from the department's evidence room.
54:54Sheriff's Office Chief Criminal Investigator Warren Gary
54:57was also accused of purchasing a truck suspected of having been used to transport a body
55:02for the purpose of discarding evidence.
55:04It's almost like the Jennings Police Force was full of officers who had exactly zero care for the law.
55:11But, with everything going on,
55:13they couldn't refuse to do anything about the eight murders for much longer.
55:18In 2009, the sheriff ordered that every investigator working the Jeff Davis eight case
55:23be swabbed for DNA to put the accusations against investigators at rest.
55:27And what you know, the office refused to comment on the results of the test.
55:32In total, police have only arrested or issued warrants for the arrest of four people
55:36in connection with the Jeff Davis eight case.
55:39The question remains,
55:40is this the work of a serial killer or that of dirty cops?
55:44We'll let you answer that.
55:57No.
