in a multiple slaying at a sorority house a single bite mark is the only evidence can detectives use it to build a case against the most notorious serial killer of all time investigators hunt for a sexual sadist in a Canadian resort town he leaves behind a trail of victims but few clues can they stop him before he strikes again someone's murdering men on Florida's highways a bloody palm print suggests a woman's touch but who is she what prompts some intelligent people to become cunning killing machines as forensics tries to break their chain of death psychologists seek to understand serial killers fatal compulsion [Music] [Music] on a February night in Pensacola Florida in 1978 police officer David Lee saw an orange Volkswagen leaving the parking lot of a closed restaurant because the car had no reason to be there he ran a check on the tags he discovered it was stolen the driver tried to flee the scene after a chase and a struggle he was apprehended police found stolen credit cards and several fake IDs in the car the driver was taken in for questioning the man flashed a student ID but police determined that it too was stolen after two days in custody he finally decided to tell police his real name Theodore Robert Bundy at first the Pensacola police had no reaction they had no idea who Ted Bundy was but they soon find out that his name had just been added to the FBI's ten most wanted list he was suspected of killing three dozen young women in at least four western states his lackluster arrest in Florida was the beginning of the end for the most notorious serial killer in history who may have murdered over 40 women in 16 years ultimately forensics would tie him to his crimes in the process the study of his murders would help spawn a whole new field of forensic psychology a science that tries to understand how serial killers are created and what we can do to stop them William hag Meyer of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences unit in Quantico Virginia interviewed Bundy in prison he was probably the most efficient killing machine that we've seen amongst the serial murderers that we studied with his ability to articulate how he made certain choices why he let certain people live and die he's become a standard by which other serial killers are measured so enormous were Bundy's crimes that they defied traditional crime solving tactics it wasn't until after he was caught that the pieces began to come together Bundy didn't know that Florida would be the last stop on his trail of death he arrived on January 7th 1978 after escaping from a Colorado prison where he was awaiting trial for murder he rolled into Tallahassee and moved into a boarding house called the Oaks near Florida State University it's now a fraternity house Bundy didn't kill randomly he was methodical selecting college-age women with dark straight hair parted in the middle his proximity to campus provided ample quarry within a week of his arrival he resumed his deadly rampage at the Chi Omega house sorority sister Nita Neary returned from a date around 3:00 a.m. on January 15 1978 the lock to the back door had been broken for weeks as she entered the house she heard a commotion upstairs someone running she stopped as she saw a man run down the steps and disappear into the night then she realized someone was hurt at 3:15 a.m. the campus police answered a frantic and garbled call for help from the sorority house bill Taylor was one of the first officers to respond we were its Compton broke up a fight between two of our fraternities and we were just clearing that call when we got a call that two girls were in a fight at the Chi Omega house and 661 West Jefferson Street the campus police thought this was just another routine call but nothing could prepare them for what they found the house mother told the officers two women had been attacked after calling paramedics police investigated the rest of the house an officer found Margaret Bowman in her bed she'd been bludgeoned then choked to death with a stocking down the hall lay another woman like Margaret Bowman Lisa levy had been sexually assaulted then beaten in his fury the killer had left bite marks in her flesh she died enroute to the hospital while paramedics tended to the injured police tried to make sense of the scene officer Taylor had never witnessed anything so brutal [Music] you're thinking all kinds of different things when you're going through there and just how in the world could somebody do what was done to those victims in that manner while they slept in their bed the women never saw their attacker but Nita Neary who escaped a similar fate by mere seconds described him he was of medium height wearing a navy pea coat in the mid cap he carried a club the sketchy description provided little help the killer left behind no evidence not even a fingerprint at Florida State University almost every man became a suspect every woman lived in terror we knew we were looking for a white male we knew we were looking for someone who was around 580 510 we knew that he had a dark-colored kind of pea coat kind of jacket on with a one of those navy blue watch caps on you were looking at everybody that was walking for everybody that you could see did he match them where could he be now you know is he hurting somebody else now get that horrible feeling that there's that there's more that something else is going to happen are there other crime scenes other other people that are injured other people hurt that we don't know about yet by then Bundy had already moved 100 miles west to Lake City Florida [Music] there he changed his tack and pursued a different kind of prey he lured 12 year old Kimberly leach into his van they drove off which would be Bundy's last victim after ditching the stolen van and killing the girl he stole a Volkswagen he was partial to them because the passenger seat could be removed to accommodate his victims but before he could strike again he was picked up by Pensacola police for driving a stolen vehicle Bundy's past was catching up with him courtesy of the FBI's ten most wanted list Florida police were almost certain he was responsible for the Chi Omega murders but they had to gather evidence to prove it the only clues collected at the Chi Omega murders were the bite marks on the body of Lisa levy investigators hoped they would be enough the task of analyzing them fell on forensic odontologist Richard silver on when Bundy was arrested and the bite mark evidence was not considered a high priority but when the detectives in the case weren't able to come up with anything else such as blood fingerprints hair fiber anything like that then they decided well we'll give this a try at the time bite mark evidence had not been used in Florida courts but investigators had no alternative fortunately one of the bites left a deep impression dr. souviron saw that the killer's teeth had distinctive characteristics they were crooked chipped in several places and had an unusual configuration but he needed an impression of Bundy's teeth to make a match that required a search warrant based on probable cause that Bundy's teeth were similar to the killers a snapshot of bundy showing his teeth convinced a judge to sign the warrant souviron could now take the impression of Bundy's teeth from the impression suberin made casts it was apparent that Bundy's teeth were very unusual Bundy's teeth are unique that I've never seen a set of teeth like bunnies and indeed no one in the world has a set of teeth like bunnies most striking were Bundy's lower teeth which showed an unusual pattern of wear along with a distinct layout the top teeth were chipped using acetate overlays of Bundy's bite pattern suberin was able to conclude that only Ted Bundy's teeth could have left the bite marks found on the body of Lisa levy based in large part on this forensic evidence a florida grand jury indicted Bundy on July 27 1978 for the two Chi Omega murders his indictment was read on live television Theodore Robert Bundy you were charged indictment two counts burglary and two counts murder in the first degree three counts attempted murder in the first degree my chance of starts the press contrary to section seven 80204 order statute I'll plead not guilty right now and your grand jurors Bundy always wanting to be in control enjoyed the attention and turned his trial into a media circus well listen I've been chained in isolation for six months I've been kept away from the press I've been buried by you you've been talking for six months I think it's my right we got a quarter where there won't be any press sure there won't be any precedent you shoot giving them out I'm gay you're not a camel rider will return all I heard emphatically denying his guilt acting as his own attorney Bundy was convicted of the Chi Omega murders as well as the murder of 12 year old Kimberly leach Ted Bundy was caught in large part because he was a terrible driver an alert police officer in Pensacola picked him up he was convicted in large part because of forensic odontology he rarely left any forensic evidence at his crime scenes because he knew what police were looking for he didn't know that decides the forensic odontology advanced to the point where a forensic odontologist can testify with tremendous accuracy that bite marks on a victim as with Ted Bundy matched Ted Bundy's teeth he didn't know that as Bundy sat on Florida's death row he began to trade information in order to postpone his execution date he confessed to a string of murders throughout the West and provided details about how he committed them he painted a graphic picture of the evolution and slow deterioration of a serial killer to become a serial killer is to become a serial tennis player or serial jogger when you get away from it for a while you start getting the itch to get back he said it was getting tremendous the clock was ticking experts suspect Bundy may have started killing in 1962 at age 15 then beginning in 1974 he killed eight college women in and around Seattle on crutches or with his arm in a sling he used his seductive charm to lure his victims in this way he snared six women in six months Ted Bundy felt that this victim had a choice she didn't have to come with me and as he said in many occasions I wasn't caveman come where I didn't go and drag them out you know they came to me emboldened by his success he sought more risky prey during a crowded weekend at Lake Sammamish State Park near Seattle two of the women at the lake that day 23 year-old Janice OTT and 18 year-old Denise Naslund apparently left with the injured stranger four hours apart it was the last time anyone saw them alive based on eyewitness descriptions police artists made a composite sketch of the slender young man with a Canadian accent who called himself Ted part of Bundy's success was his cunning part was his looks and outward behavior no one could have suspected his homicidal inclinations Seattle writer and rule has made a career studying killers and their victims in 1975 when she was just starting out she was hired to write a book about the Seattle killer little did she realized that he would turn out to be someone she knew good I thought cheetah looks like Ted Bundy and I know that Ted sometimes affects the Canadian dialect I knew that he lived in a boarding house on the same street where two victims had been found but they were looking for people with a criminal record and Ted Bundy the only thing they had him for two citations for bravery for helping helping citizens he'd been an assistant director of the Seattle Crime Prevention Advisory Council worked for the governor of Washington not the kind of guy you're gonna focus on and had met Bundy in 1971 four years earlier when she volunteered at a crisis clinic in Seattle I was a civilian volunteer and they would always pair us with a work-study student and just through the luck of the draw My partner was this very nice young man who was then about 23 I named Theodore Bundy so I spent two nights a week for a year locked up alone all night long with Ted Bundy the weekend following the abductions the beaches at Lake Sammamish were strangely empty over the next several months bodies of women who disappeared began turning up in the nearby hills police in Washington intensified their search for the killer twelve women had gone missing in the Seattle area all suspected to be victims of the mysterious Ted but Monday was smart enough to know when to move on in September 1974 he made his way to Salt Lake City over the next month and a half three teenage girls disappeared without a trace then on November 8 Bundy spotted 23 year-old Carol Dhiraj posing as a police detective he approached her and told her that someone had been caught stealing something from her car he asked her to look inside to see if anything was missing she told him everything seemed to be there but Bundy asked her to accompany him to police headquarters to see if she could ID the thief anyway though de ranch was skeptical she did as he asked but as soon as she got into his Volkswagen the trap was sprung he handcuffed her and threatened to kill her on the spot but she managed to get the car door open she broke free Dhiraj was the only woman that we know for sure to escape the clutches of Ted Bundy but Bundy was unfazed over the next several months more women would die in Utah Bundy was finally caught on a traffic infraction Carol Dhiraj picked him out of a lineup he was convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to 1 to 15 years he was then extradited to Colorado where based on hair samples found in his car he was charged with the murder of a young woman and there through a small hole in the ceiling of his prison cell he escaped to kill again eight days before the Chi Omega murders Ted Bundy fled Colorado and headed to Florida a friend loaned him money to live on he'd been incarcerated over a year and his fatal compulsion grew all the while this need to fill the addiction had grown so strong because he'd been in prison and unable to kill but sitting there fueling his fantasies thinking about it and when he was out he had no control over Bundy was now taking chances making mistakes gone was the kindly stranger ploy at the Chi Omega house he attacked with violence and rage and left behind the clue that led to his conviction bill Hagemeyer believes that Bundy's recklessness was inevitable serial killers become more daring and less predictable over time many serial killers in fact all that I've dealt with their crimes start out as personal agendas so to speak the first victim may be an accident it may be a displaced aggression but after that it becomes predatory once he was in prison Bundy provided the ultimate case study in serial killings peg Meyer set to work trying to understand where our killers fatal compulsion stems from Bundy himself helped interview other serial killers on death row to find a common denominator the answer isn't clear-cut in background and behavior serial killers are just like the rest of us sir killers come from different backgrounds there is no consistent factor than I'm aware of in all their development basically if one were to look at Ted Bundy's evolution as a human being they would be shocked that he became a serial killer because he didn't act any differently didn't appear to be maturing any differently than other children around him writer and rule believes that killers like Bundy are born and bred I think to create a serial killer or any sadistic sociopath you have to have a combination of a genetic predisposition toward violence just like some people can play the violin some people can tap-dance but these people have a tendency toward violence now if that child is born into a loving home where he feels safe or she feels safe we'll never know but if you have the terrible synchronicity of the Petach predisposition and Abby of home then you have the perfect soil to grow one of these people Bundy showed his homicidal tendencies as a young child of three his aunt julia who was then a teenager awoke to find Ted slipping butcher knives into her bed but as with most serial killer came down to a matter of choices we're all a product of our environment our genetics our experiences and what we become in life whether it's a career choice making a choice of a mate or our avocation and has just happened to be murder we're accountable for that Bundy discovered in his early 20s that he was illegitimate he aspired to a higher station than his stepfather could afford becoming active in local politics but rejection by a college girl of breeding and refinement may have filled him with smoldering rage when he began killing less than a year later all of his victims would bear a resemblance to the girl who'd rejected him as agent Hagemeyer spent more time with him bundy began to call him his best friend bundy shared what it's like to be a serial killer he said when you're alone with a victim who's very much alive and vibrant and pleading for their life he said he said you become God he said you have the power over life and death and he said when you kill them you hear the last noises that they'll ever put out of their mouth you can basically taste the last breath that comes out of their body and he said there's a phenomenal feeling of power over that and he said that that's what you feed off of after a while it was like coming out of some kind of horrible trance or a dream I can only liken it to after you know I don't want to over dramatize it but to have been possessed by something so awful and so alien and then the next morning wake up from it remember what happened and realized that basically I mean in the eyes of the law certainly in the eyes of God you're responsible Bundy was convicted of killing three women and confessed to killing more than 30 others police will never know if that was a boast or a conservative estimate he received his final punishment on January 24th 1989 in Florida's electric chair hungry for that sense of godlike power serial killers feel compelled to murder but they don't always kill their victims sometimes they marry them on June 29th 1991 two canoeists were spending a lazy afternoon on Lake Gibson near Niagara Falls Canada the waters have receded revealing several blocks of concrete speckled with black paint when one of the men stepped on a block it broke in two he was horrified at what he saw inside were the severed limbs of a human body police found body parts in each of the eight blocks it took two weeks to obtain the dental records to identify the victim she was a teenage girl named Leslie Mahaffy who disappeared two weeks earlier from the nearby city of Burlington whoever killed her had also sexually abused her it was a shocking crime in a country unused to violence placed in charge of the investigation was Vince Bevan of the Niagara Regional Police once we knew who the victim was we had you know almost a month's like time in there so we had to go back and start to retrace to find out you know who she was with what the circumstances were of her disappearance and start to work back from the city of Burlington to see if we could find any any clues that would point us in the right direction of how she met her death and ultimately wound up in the concrete in Lake Gibson but there were no witnesses and no clues to the killer's identity forensic scientist Mike Kershaw began by looking at the concrete blocks gingerly sifting through the rubble hoping to find some piece of helpful evidence I examined approximately 700 pounds of concrete and just the examination using the light sources I spent probably close to 120 hours on some of the things we were hoping to find included items that might have come from less a Mojave like jewelry we were also looking for evidence such as saws or saw blades but what I've been finding is hair fiber hair that doesn't look or looks foreign to the concrete itself or foreign to Leslie Mahaffy chemical analysis determined that the concrete was a ready mix brand so common it was impossible to trace the paint was a black spray paint the trace evidence consisted of hair that matched the victim and several strands of different light colored hair Kershaw had nothing to compare it with the forensic evidence was not adding up too much the search for the Niagra killer took on a new urgency when another young girl named Kristin French was reported missing she left her school on April 16th and was last seen walking past a church she never arrived home two weeks after Kristin French disappeared a scrap collector discovered her body she'd been sexually abused and killed in much the same fashion as Mojave for Vince Bevan it was now clear a serial killer was at work and his increasing boldness was cause for alarm Kristen French had been abducted at 3 o'clock in the afternoon in a parking lot near a busy street for somebody to abduct her from that particular area it's unusual because of the high level of risk that that offender would have taken I mean there are any number of things that could have happened to to interfere with what his plan was and it's it's not a desperate act by any means but it is certainly above normal level of risk for an offender of this case the first break in the case came from 75 miles away in the town of Scarborough for two years police there worked unsuccessfully to catch a serial rapist acting on a tip in 1990 they'd visited Paul Bernardo an accountant who resembled the man described by some of the victims he seemed an unlikely suspect when you think of somebody who could be responsible for crimes like this expect them to be marked in some way you know like a hunchback dragging one leg behind them as a matter of procedure police collected blood and saliva samples from Bernardo for DNA testing he was one of 1500 potential suspects and in these early days of DNA testing the process was time-consuming it took an overworked Canadian forensics lab two years to complete their analysis of Bernardo's DNA meantime Bernardo moved from Scarborough to Niagara in 1991 the serial rapes in Scarborough had suddenly stopped the killings in Niagara had begun when the DNA results came back in February 1993 they proved Bernardo was the Scarborough rapist Scarborough authorities notified Niagara police we could have had an opportunity to connect those offenses earlier in the investigation but as it was that connection wasn't made until the DNA probe came back Bernardo Bernardo was arrested for the rapes in Scarborough and the murders in Niagara he denied the murder charges and police had no sure way to connect him to the killings if Bevan wanted a conviction he needed tangible proof he obtained a warrant to search Barnardo's house a search team spent ten weeks looking for hair blood fingerprints any physical evidence showing the presence of the murder victims they got their hands and knees with a stereomicroscope and searched tough by tough until they found started to fine hair then they actually found small clippings of hair that were unique to Kristen French along with the hair police found traces of DNA from French and Mojave autopsies revealed that both victims had been drugged in a desk drawer investigators found a tranquilizer that Barnardo's wife Karla Homolka had obtained from the veterinarian's office where she worked on a videotape bernardo made for insurance purposes police found an inventory of his basement more clues came into focus first was a circular saw one that matched the type police thought he may have used to dismember his first victim the next clue on the tape was equally incriminating and as he panned across the basement floor showing some of the tools that he had he went past and open cupboard and in the top shelf discovered were two cans of spray paint one had a great grey lid one had a black lid when we went in and executed a search warrant and during her search we were in a bill unable to find that black can of spray paint besides the evidence on the tape investigators noticed gouges on the stairs to his basement microscopic examination revealed black paint marks forensics experts created concrete blocks similar in size to the ones that contain maja fees body they spray-painted the blocks and pushed them up a similar flight of stairs the marks they made matched those on Bernardo stairs the forensic evidence was piling up but it was all circumstantial the case was clinched with the help of a surprising eyewitness in January 1993 Paul Barnardo's wife Karla Homolka left him she would later tell police that Bernardo had tied her and forced her to act out the last moments of his victims lives fearing she would suffer their fate she fled in February as evidence was mounting against Bernardo she decided to make a deal and confessed that she herself had played a role in the heinous crimes of Paul Bernardo crimes that he had videotaped Karla Homolka had met Paul Bernardo in 1987 when she was still a teenager Bernardo was a handsome apparently successful young man six years older than she was but beneath his pleasant exterior Bernardo was possessed by a desire to subjugate women Roy Hazelwood a former FBI agent and an expert on sex related crimes has spent six years studying the strange bond between serial killers and the women who fall in love with them Canadian prosecutors called on him to assess Carlos state of mind Hazelwood believes Bernardo like many serial killers saw women as lesser creatures that didn't deserve respectability that explains why they go for a nice middle-class woman rather than prostitutes or alcoholics or drug abusers because they want to tear down that image of niceness and purity if you Willis arouse a nice middle-class person as a teenager he began spying on women in the dark they became objects that existed only for his pleasure according to Hazelwood Bernardo saw his future wife Karla Homolka as a woman he knew he could dominate forcing her to his will these men have an innate ability to identify women who are vulnerable women who are naive women who have a few life experiences or low self-esteem or they have as I mentioned earlier dependent personalities were they crave and need the attention of others and the approval of others Carla's parents encouraged her romance with the handsome upscale Bernardo by 1990 he already had her under a horrible spell on Christmas Eve she helped him drug her own sister Tammy so he could have sex with her but the drug had induced her death instead they said she drank too much alcohol no one suspected the truth there's no question that Bernardo had manipulated her she she was a an attractive intelligent young woman why she ever became involved in the first entry incident is sort of a mystery to me I think it's quite clear that after her sister's death she was trapped she had trapped herself in essence in a situation that he could take advantage of [Music] on the night of June 14 1991 six months after Tammy's death Bernardo went out to stalk young women according to what he told Carla he saw Leslie Mahaffy locked out of her house at 2:00 a.m. he offered his assistance then lured the girl to his car with the offer of a cigarette Carla told police Paul had forced her to videotape his sexual assaults on Mohave Paul and Karla were married two weeks later the day police discovered the body sealed in concrete over time Bernardo had tightened his grasp on Karla drawing her deeper into his crimes because she's in love with him and because she wants his approval because she wants to please him she agrees to participate and eventually it becomes more and more bizarre Karla helped her husband kidnapped Kristin French in April 1992 she'd pretended to need directions asking the girl to show them where they were on a map Bernardo sneaked up behind her and shoved her into the car once again according to Homolka she had participated in and recorded Barnardo's sexual assaults on video but where were the tapes despite 10 weeks of searching every corner and crevice of Bernardo's house canadian police were unable to find them they discover later that Bernardo in jail had his lawyer removed them when the tapes were finally turned over to the police they validated every shocking detail of what Karla had said Bernardo used the tapes to experience his crimes again and again the videotapes along with Karla Homolka testimony were more than enough to convict Paul Bernardo he was sentenced to life in prison no chance of parole for her part in the crimes Karla Homolka was sentenced to 12 years in prison a sentence based on her testimony prior to finding the videotapes but the tapes clearly showed Karla participating in the torture and sexual abuse of the victims was Karla truly a victim herself or a savvy accomplice who worked out a sweet deal with the police is she a victim not in the sense that she's not responsible for what she did she certainly is responsible for what she did and she needs to be punished for her activities and which she acted in concert in the abduction and/or murder of three different people so in that sense no she's not a victim is she a victim in the sense that she came under his spell is she a victim in the sense that that he abused her in that sense yes she's a victim in that sense from the first of Paul Barnardo's rapes to the day of his capture almost six years had gone by according to an rule if he hadn't been caught he would have continued to kill they start maybe two or three years apart and then it's one a year and then it's one a month and then it's one a week until toward the end they need more and more of the substance that they crave to make them feel normal and in in the case of serial killers it's murder first they do it to get a high and then after that they seem to need it and and they're almost all caught because they stop they begin to take chances in the air slowly painfully experts are learning the Warped rules of the sexual serial killer but do the same rules apply when the killer is a woman in December 1989 along a Florida Highway outside of Daytona Beach officers found an abandoned car registered to a Tampa man named Richard Mallory he had been missing for several days another week and a half went by before the 51 year old Mallory turned up naked shot several times with a 22 caliber pistol and abandoned two miles from where his vehicle was found police sealed off the area to search for clues investigator Larry hor zappa of the Volusia County Sheriff's Office led the investigation at the time we weren't exactly sure what we had so as in all of our homicide investigations that we do we did an entire sweep of the area and basically collected up everything that we could possibly find that we thought may be connected with the crime but investigators found very little evidence pointing to the killer the investigation was stymied by lack of clues as Volusia Police worked on the case police in three other counties struggled with murders of their own immersed in their local crime scenes they had no knowledge of the other killings no idea they were connected we didn't know about the other killings that had been occurring for almost a year basically we were operating solely on ours as the body count climbed police became aware that a deadly pattern was developing throughout Florida finally the separate police departments pooled their resources we found the similarities and the fact that all the men were older men being over the ages of 45 years of age that they were basically all traveling alone that they were traveling the major highways we found that the bodies all of them were discarded close to a major highway in fact that the vehicles that they had or placed somewhere else the killer had been methodical consistent all but one of the victims had been shot in the torso with a 22 caliber pistol a relatively small firearm in every case the driver's seat was pulled up close to the steering wheel the evidence suggested the killer was a short person possibly a woman if this were true it was one for the books there never been a female serial killer or at least not one that police knew of but at this point it was just a guess the killer had been thorough wiping off all fingerprints then on July 4th 1990 a woman reported to police that she saw a car crashed through a fence then drive off in the car were two women a blonde and a shorter brunette a few miles away a car matching the description was found abandoned witnesses at this scene also described the two women the car's registration revealed that it belonged to Peter Sims age 65 an itinerant missionary who'd been missing for almost a month police saw a possible connection to the string of homicides the car was turned over to Merv Stephens of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement the vehicle had been basically wiped down the inside and outside the crime scene analysts had went to the armrest on the driver's side of the car and had removed the armrest upon removing that armrest they noticed what it looked to pee appear to be a palm print a bloody palm print the single print was their only clue and a potentially damning one but prints and blood are notoriously fragile forensics would have only one chance to read the imprint only one chance to link killer with crime scene they could not afford to make a mistake I think they made the latent lift as a last resort once they had discovered what they thought was a blood printer looking to be like a blood print it was reddish-brown in color and in photographing it and using the different lighting techniques a blood print will tend to dry out once the blood prints dries out it becomes real fragile and simple moving it around handling that that type of item the print will basically deteriorate in your fall of pieces after the print was photographed clear tape was carefully placed over it with even greater care the tape was slowly lifted any little bend in the tape would crack the print and compromise the lift once the print adhered to the tape it was affixed to a white card the technicians were home free the lift was a success they analyzed the palm print and compared it to those of known criminals in the state of Florida Stephens found a match in a woman named Lori grody she'd been convicted on a weapons charge Brody was also known as cami green and Eileen warned us because several of the missing automobiles had been burglarized police began checking pawn shops in the hopes of finding the stolen goods at one they found a pawn ticket in the name of cami green for a particular brand of camera and a radar detector items missing from the car of murder victim Richard Mallory Florida requires pawn shops to take fingerprints cami greens print from the pawn ticket was compared to the prints in Stevens files the prints matched the bloody palm print and stolen items were now linked to a single person a woman named Eileen warned us investigators traced Warner's to Daytona Beach where she was a part of the biker crowd she hung out at a bar called the last resort where she slept on these benches behind the bar undercover police kept her under constant surveillance until they could collect more evidence of her crimes but when they learned that a statewide biker barbecue was scheduled for the next weekend they were afraid they'd lose warn us in the crowd On January 9th 1991 police made their move and arrested her a key found in her possession led police to a locker filled with items stolen from the murder victims the case against Juanes grew stronger next they pressured her friends for more information to keep them out of it Morris confessed I gotta kill the guy when she was convicted in Florida for the murder of six men war nurse had the distinction of being one of the first female serial killers deadly as the male but why beginning in December of 1989 that she become a killer hitching rides with middle-aged men suggesting sex for money in a secluded spot then shooting them to death Warner's claimed she'd acted in self-defense it was a claim Larry or Zeta difficult to believe I think as she was plying her trade as she was going along for whatever reason whether she needed more money or whether she decided that this would just be easy pickings at one point in her life starting with mr. Mallory she decided to bring a firearm into play and once she went ahead and fired that first shot and killed that first man felt it was easy and why not do it again and rule has studied women who kill she disagrees that robbery was the motive she believes Eileen Warner's felt abused by the men in her life and the killing was her attempt at retaliation her anger was typical of serial killers but of all the women that I have ever studied she is the only one who seems to have a particular victim type who has a particular mo who's killing stranger to stranger and fits into the serial murder pattern foreign rule the most chilling aspect of serial killers is their lack of remorse for their crimes these people believe that they deserve to have anything they want that makes them feel better it doesn't matter who gets hurt as long as they're happy because they are real and the rest of us are paper dog characters we don't feel the way they do with each murder serial killers lose a little more of their conscience making the next killing that much easier as police departments throughout the country begin to share information they can more quickly see the deadly patterns emerge then they can stop serial killers in their tracks [Music] [Music]
