WEBVTT

00:00:30.308 --> 00:00:33.798 align:center
There's still so many things we
don't understand about this case

00:00:33.801 --> 00:00:35.411 align:center
and probably never will.

00:00:37.315 --> 00:00:41.275 align:center
We just have bits and pieces
of some kind of strange puzzle,

00:00:42.279 --> 00:00:44.699 align:center
and even if we could
put them all together,

00:00:45.865 --> 00:00:48.115 align:center
I don't know if I want to see
whatever picture they make.

00:01:11.182 --> 00:01:12.062 align:center
Yeah.

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:14.770 align:center
My name is Joseph Kirby.

00:01:14.769 --> 00:01:18.319 align:center
I am a former lead detective
sergeant in San Bernardino County.

00:01:18.898 --> 00:01:24.358 align:center
I was supervising the major
crimes unit between 2007 and 2015.

00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:29.950 align:center
San Bernardino County is about 60 miles
east of Los Angeles and is a part of

00:01:29.951 --> 00:01:32.251 align:center
California's Inland Empire region.

00:01:33.038 --> 00:01:34.878 align:center
We have a population of about 2 million.

00:01:35.498 --> 00:01:38.668 align:center
We've seen our share of violent
crimes, gang related homicides,

00:01:38.668 --> 00:01:41.588 align:center
relatively large scale
drug busts, what have you.

00:01:42.047 --> 00:01:46.637 align:center
We probably ran upwards
of 65 murders a year

00:01:47.594 --> 00:01:49.804 align:center
in the San Bernardino County
Sheriff's Homicide Bureau,

00:01:50.472 --> 00:01:52.352 align:center
which is higher than the national average,

00:01:53.183 --> 00:01:54.883 align:center
but I had never seen anything

00:01:54.893 --> 00:01:57.933 align:center
like what happened to the
Sheridan family on Alton Avenue.

00:01:58.938 --> 00:01:59.858 align:center
Nobody had.

00:02:02.317 --> 00:02:04.607 align:center
911...what is your emergency?

00:02:04.611 --> 00:02:07.371 align:center
I'm not sure if this is the right person to call,

00:02:07.364 --> 00:02:12.194 align:center
but I was calling to see if it's possible
to get a welfare check for someone.

00:02:12.994 --> 00:02:14.824 align:center
Can I get your name please?

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:15.870 align:center
My name?

00:02:16.956 --> 00:02:22.256 align:center
My name is Kacie Porter and
I was friends with Tiffany Sheridan.

00:02:23.254 --> 00:02:26.084 align:center
Our kids went to
the same elementary school.

00:02:26.758 --> 00:02:30.388 align:center
When you have kids that
age and you meet a lot

00:02:30.387 --> 00:02:35.727 align:center
parents that you don’t always care for.
But Tiff and I, we just hit it off.

00:02:36.810 --> 00:02:39.650 align:center
We were supposed to meet at
this restaurant for lunch,

00:02:39.896 --> 00:02:44.186 align:center
but she never showed and I
figured she had forgotten,

00:02:45.068 --> 00:02:45.898 align:center
so I let it go,

00:02:46.945 --> 00:02:51.445 align:center
but then Lauren came home and she said
that Sam hadn't been to school in a few

00:02:51.449 --> 00:02:55.409 align:center
days and I kept calling
and I kept texting,

00:02:56.704 --> 00:02:58.284 align:center
but I never got a reply back.

00:02:59.833 --> 00:03:05.123 align:center
and I just knew in the back of
my head that something is wrong.

00:03:07.841 --> 00:03:10.931 align:center
I know it's not very
long but it's just

00:03:10.927 --> 00:03:14.307 align:center
not like her to miss
a lunch and not call.

00:03:14.305 --> 00:03:16.845 align:center
We'll send someone over
there to check it out.

00:03:17.142 --> 00:03:18.522 align:center
I'm Will Martinez.

00:03:18.518 --> 00:03:21.268 align:center
I'm a Deputy Sheriff with the San
Bernardino Sheriff's Department.

00:03:22.147 --> 00:03:24.687 align:center
Me and my partner were the first
officers to arrive on scene.

00:03:25.733 --> 00:03:29.273 align:center
We got a call regarding a welfare check
for a residence in the Shandin Hills.

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.000 align:center
Nice area. It was a gated
community as I remember.

00:03:48.715 --> 00:03:50.215 align:center
Whole thing felt weird.

00:03:50.976 --> 00:03:52.726 align:center
Something about it was just off.

00:03:55.355 --> 00:03:56.275 align:center
Police department.

00:04:00.068 --> 00:04:02.908 align:center
Police department,
anybody home?

00:04:10.328 --> 00:04:11.158 align:center
Let’s go around.

00:04:20.380 --> 00:04:22.510 align:center
Police department.
Anyone home?

00:04:31.516 --> 00:04:35.146 align:center
My partner called out. We
identified ourselves again,

00:04:35.729 --> 00:04:36.819 align:center
but there was no movement.

00:04:38.523 --> 00:04:39.353 align:center
Hello?

00:04:43.236 --> 00:04:44.066 align:center
Anybody home?

00:04:49.451 --> 00:04:50.661 align:center
Mother of god.

00:04:53.705 --> 00:04:54.955 align:center
This was a crime scene.

00:05:06.843 --> 00:05:08.343 align:center
What happened to them...

00:05:09.888 --> 00:05:11.598 align:center
I think about it every day.

00:05:12.640 --> 00:05:14.730 align:center
I have nightmares about it.

00:05:23.068 --> 00:05:23.898 align:center
Why them?

00:05:30.867 --> 00:05:33.617 align:center
That was a bad day.

00:05:48.259 --> 00:05:53.139 align:center
When I saw that I was floored.

00:05:54.599 --> 00:05:58.479 align:center
I looked at my partner and I
said, oh my God, he's back.

00:06:44.574 --> 00:06:45.404 align:center
Hi.

00:06:45.909 --> 00:06:47.409 align:center
My name's Lexi Taylor.

00:06:47.410 --> 00:06:50.670 align:center
I'm a senior homicide detective
for the San Bernardino PD.

00:06:51.539 --> 00:06:55.499 align:center
I worked as a patrol officer for about
nine years before being offered a job in

00:06:55.502 --> 00:06:59.382 align:center
the homicide bureau and that's when I
started working with my partner, Joe Kirby.

00:07:00.590 --> 00:07:04.640 align:center
Growing up, my mom worked two jobs
to support me and my older brother.

00:07:05.095 --> 00:07:09.385 align:center
Saw a rotating door of less than great men
you would say come and go in her life.

00:07:10.475 --> 00:07:12.935 align:center
I think that's when I first
started thinking that maybe

00:07:12.936 --> 00:07:14.646 align:center
I would like to try to help people,

00:07:15.188 --> 00:07:18.988 align:center
Maybe I could help someone like
my mom out of a tough situation.

00:07:20.235 --> 00:07:21.775 align:center
I actually never intended to be a cop.

00:07:22.320 --> 00:07:25.450 align:center
I had aspirations of being
a drummer in a metal band,

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.459 align:center
but one of my friend's brothers was in
the academy and I thought it sounded cool.

00:07:31.162 --> 00:07:32.962 align:center
I liked how you had
to think on your feet,

00:07:32.956 --> 00:07:34.836 align:center
use your brain as well as your body.

00:07:35.292 --> 00:07:37.132 align:center
After a couple of days in training,

00:07:37.919 --> 00:07:39.969 align:center
I was hooked, man.

00:07:41.381 --> 00:07:44.141 align:center
That is how I have always approached
my career in law enforcement.

00:07:45.010 --> 00:07:47.890 align:center
Try to be there for people when
things are at their worst.

00:07:49.597 --> 00:07:51.807 align:center
Fuck. It was never worse than on this case.

00:07:53.643 --> 00:07:55.853 align:center
Between 1993 and 1995,

00:07:55.854 --> 00:08:00.064 align:center
there were three murders in Riverside
and San Bernardino County that we

00:08:00.066 --> 00:08:04.446 align:center
eventually realized were serial
murders and which had some

00:08:05.864 --> 00:08:07.444 align:center
ritualistic aspects.

00:08:14.331 --> 00:08:17.341 align:center
I think this is it. Yeah.

00:08:18.585 --> 00:08:23.665 align:center
Okay, she was covered with a blue tarp.
You could see it easily from the road.

00:08:23.673 --> 00:08:27.093 align:center
This is a service road. Not a lot of
people come down it.

00:08:27.719 --> 00:08:28.759 align:center
It was just horrible.

00:08:28.762 --> 00:08:31.432 align:center
I mean, you never expect
to see something like that.

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.520 align:center
On August 8th, 1993,

00:08:35.769 --> 00:08:40.109 align:center
the torso of 24-year-old Shifra
Gutierrez is discovered in

00:08:40.106 --> 00:08:41.816 align:center
San Bernardino National Forest.

00:08:43.485 --> 00:08:45.195 align:center
She had been dismembered.

00:08:45.987 --> 00:08:49.987 align:center
The genitals mutilated...
the uterus removed

00:08:51.034 --> 00:08:53.824 align:center
The coroner gave a best guess
estimate she'd been there two weeks,

00:08:54.204 --> 00:08:56.034 align:center
but it's difficult to tell.

00:08:58.708 --> 00:09:00.838 align:center
Shifra was my best friend
in high school.

00:09:02.420 --> 00:09:03.510 align:center
She was a dope bitch.

00:09:06.466 --> 00:09:09.506 align:center
She just had this joy for
living and this lust for life,

00:09:11.096 --> 00:09:12.636 align:center
and she was funny as fuck.

00:09:15.225 --> 00:09:20.065 align:center
She wasn't a bad person, you know.
She just, I don't know.

00:09:20.188 --> 00:09:22.938 align:center
She just got into some bad shit
like a lot of people out here do.

00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:27.530 align:center
I was always telling her, I was
like, this is dangerous, Shifra,

00:09:27.695 --> 00:09:29.115 align:center
you got to stop doing this.

00:09:30.615 --> 00:09:32.365 align:center
Oh shit. I said I wasn’t going to do this.

00:09:33.952 --> 00:09:38.632 align:center
There's an area off the 91 in the
Casa Blanca neighborhood and

00:09:38.632 --> 00:09:40.222 align:center
that's where Shifra was last seen,

00:09:41.092 --> 00:09:45.012 align:center
but we do know she went up to a room at
a motel called Dean's Corner that was

00:09:45.013 --> 00:09:48.053 align:center
frequented by sex workers
and there was a man with her,

00:09:48.058 --> 00:09:51.188 align:center
but the clerk couldn't remember
what he looked like.

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.979 align:center
He could have killed her there.

00:09:52.979 --> 00:09:55.979 align:center
Could have been strangulation, for
example. We'll probably never know.

00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.279 align:center
What we do know for sure is that she
was somehow moved from that room without

00:10:00.278 --> 00:10:04.698 align:center
anybody noticing or somebody
noticed and just didn't care.

00:10:06.076 --> 00:10:07.496 align:center
But we got our first lead.

00:10:08.578 --> 00:10:09.158 align:center
A name.

00:10:10.455 --> 00:10:13.835 align:center
All guests had to fill out a ledger and
the suspect had written down the name

00:10:14.751 --> 00:10:16.591 align:center
“Albert Shiny”

00:10:17.504 --> 00:10:18.714 align:center
And the case went cold.

00:10:19.506 --> 00:10:21.636 align:center
I don't need to tell you
that especially at that time,

00:10:21.883 --> 00:10:25.803 align:center
sex workers and marginalized people tended
to get the short end of the stick in

00:10:25.804 --> 00:10:28.464 align:center
the criminal justice system.
I'm not saying it was right,

00:10:28.473 --> 00:10:31.593 align:center
I'm just saying it was and is the reality.

00:10:33.603 --> 00:10:36.143 align:center
So it was written off
as an isolated incident,

00:10:37.857 --> 00:10:40.237 align:center
but we were wrong.

00:10:41.278 --> 00:10:44.658 align:center
A grizzly crime scene has police
on high alert in Arlanza tonight,

00:10:44.990 --> 00:10:48.950 align:center
not far from the Riverside Municipal
Airport where the body of 82-year-old

00:10:48.952 --> 00:10:52.212 align:center
Ambrose Griffith was discovered
murdered in his apartment earlier today.

00:10:52.664 --> 00:10:56.994 align:center
Mr. Griffith was disabled and apparently
suffered from MDS, a blood condition that

00:10:57.002 --> 00:10:59.012 align:center
required daily assistance
from a caretaker.

00:10:59.170 --> 00:11:01.300 align:center
Nine months after Shifra
Gutierrez is killed,

00:11:01.589 --> 00:11:04.759 align:center
Ambrose Griffith is found murdered
in his assisted living facility.

00:11:05.218 --> 00:11:07.848 align:center
On the night of June 3rd, 1994,

00:11:08.596 --> 00:11:11.846 align:center
someone scaled the backside of his
building and entered his unit through a

00:11:11.850 --> 00:11:14.400 align:center
sliding glass door that was
apparently left unlocked.

00:11:16.104 --> 00:11:20.474 align:center
He was bludgeoned with an oxygen tank
that was in his room and then stabbed more

00:11:20.483 --> 00:11:22.813 align:center
than 30 times with a box cutter.

00:11:23.278 --> 00:11:26.238 align:center
Yeah, it was brutal and you got to
understand this guy was bed bound.

00:11:26.239 --> 00:11:29.079 align:center
I mean, he could not walk or could
barely walk on his own,

00:11:29.492 --> 00:11:34.082 align:center
so he was totally defenseless to the
attack, which was obviously unprovoked.

00:11:34.497 --> 00:11:37.337 align:center
No one else in the building heard
so much as a peep from his room,

00:11:38.293 --> 00:11:41.123 align:center
so it must have happened fast,

00:11:41.546 --> 00:11:44.546 align:center
which is some comfort, I guess.

00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:47.719 align:center
One of his eyes was also removed.

00:11:48.219 --> 00:11:52.219 align:center
It was a sloppy scene. Murder committed
by someone in a frenzy who was not

00:11:52.223 --> 00:11:53.303 align:center
thinking it through at all.

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.020 align:center
It's probably why we were able
to get our first real clue.

00:11:57.854 --> 00:12:00.274 align:center
The print was run through the
system, but nothing came back.

00:12:00.690 --> 00:12:04.200 align:center
The lab guys stayed on it for weeks,
but it was only a partial.

00:12:04.778 --> 00:12:05.738 align:center
No motive.

00:12:05.737 --> 00:12:10.197 align:center
82-year-old victim with no family and few
friends except a few people that lived

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:12.330 align:center
in his building who were
just as sick as he was.

00:12:13.461 --> 00:12:16.341 align:center
The police didn't make any
connection to the Gutierrez murder.

00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:17.930 align:center
Not yet.

00:12:20.093 --> 00:12:22.423 align:center
It's okay. It's okay.

00:12:23.471 --> 00:12:27.391 align:center
We want to thank everyone from the
Riverside Police Department with their

00:12:27.392 --> 00:12:28.232 align:center
continued support.

00:12:29.853 --> 00:12:33.273 align:center
Someone out there knows what
happened to our little boy and

00:12:38.028 --> 00:12:41.618 align:center
we are begging for you to
help us return him home

00:12:43.158 --> 00:12:45.118 align:center
safely and unharmed.

00:12:45.368 --> 00:12:50.078 align:center
Noah LaFone was abducted while walking
home from school on October 7th, 1995.

00:12:50.832 --> 00:12:52.002 align:center
He was 12 years old.

00:12:53.543 --> 00:12:58.043 align:center
There were no witnesses and pretty
much no information to go on.

00:12:58.381 --> 00:13:03.061 align:center
There was a pretty extensive search and
media effort this time to try to find him.

00:13:04.262 --> 00:13:05.812 align:center
We were doing door to doors.

00:13:05.805 --> 00:13:07.975 align:center
This was the first case I
was on involving a child,

00:13:08.683 --> 00:13:10.593 align:center
so I really threw myself into it.

00:13:11.394 --> 00:13:14.514 align:center
I’d get off work and I'd
go join search and rescue.

00:13:15.106 --> 00:13:16.896 align:center
People put in hundreds of hours

00:13:16.900 --> 00:13:22.660 align:center
but days turn into weeks and it
gets harder and harder to stay positive.

00:13:23.114 --> 00:13:24.784 align:center
Three months later in January,

00:13:24.908 --> 00:13:27.908 align:center
his body is discovered in a
shallow creek near Silverwood Lake.

00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:37.300 align:center
He had been weighed down by concrete
bricks and his body was in pretty bad shape.

00:13:39.923 --> 00:13:44.463 align:center
There were multiple lacerations to his
abdomen and his liver had been removed.

00:13:45.971 --> 00:13:47.101 align:center
12 years old.

00:13:48.431 --> 00:13:49.311 align:center
Whole life ahead of him.

00:13:50.976 --> 00:13:51.846 align:center
Poof.

00:13:52.936 --> 00:13:57.816 align:center
We also found a box cutter - the weapon.
As well as Noah's school backpack and

00:13:57.941 --> 00:14:01.241 align:center
all its contents. This is
where we got our second lead.

00:14:02.195 --> 00:14:04.655 align:center
There was a page that had been
written on and then torn out,

00:14:05.073 --> 00:14:07.403 align:center
but you could still see an imprint.

00:14:09.744 --> 00:14:10.954 align:center
“Kaliban”

00:14:11.746 --> 00:14:13.706 align:center
What the heck was Kaliban?

00:14:13.999 --> 00:14:16.039 align:center
A bird from the Caribbean we found out.

00:14:16.042 --> 00:14:18.342 align:center
Or a character from Shakespeare.

00:14:18.336 --> 00:14:21.716 align:center
I mean, was this some kind of a code?
Was it another Zodiac killer?

00:14:22.382 --> 00:14:24.722 align:center
About two weeks after
his body was discovered,

00:14:24.718 --> 00:14:28.138 align:center
the Riverside Police Department
received a letter in the mail.

00:14:29.264 --> 00:14:32.844 align:center
Provided details of the three killings.
It was unreleased information

00:14:32.851 --> 00:14:34.351 align:center
only the police would know,

00:14:34.644 --> 00:14:38.724 align:center
which basically proves whoever wrote it
was the killer or at least someone who

00:14:38.732 --> 00:14:40.862 align:center
had direct contact with the killer.

00:14:41.318 --> 00:14:42.568 align:center
And there was a message.

00:14:45.822 --> 00:14:49.122 align:center
Thanks for not catching me!
Learned a lot.

00:14:50.410 --> 00:14:53.540 align:center
Ten transits remain,
isn’t it insane?

00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.080 align:center
I’ll be back.

00:14:56.499 --> 00:14:58.749 align:center
Was he telling us he was
planning on killing ten more?

00:14:59.169 --> 00:15:00.509 align:center
Was that what he meant?

00:15:01.004 --> 00:15:04.174 align:center
This was the first time we realized
this was an actual serial killer.

00:15:04.924 --> 00:15:09.174 align:center
It's worth mentioning the jurisdictional
problems that can arise when someone

00:15:09.179 --> 00:15:10.969 align:center
commits a murder across county lines.

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:14.559 align:center
It can make connecting
them a lot more difficult,

00:15:15.018 --> 00:15:16.438 align:center
but this guy wanted us to know.

00:15:16.770 --> 00:15:19.980 align:center
He wanted us to know what he did
and he wasn't finished.

00:15:20.815 --> 00:15:22.935 align:center
And then he signs the
letter with that symbol.

00:15:24.652 --> 00:15:27.282 align:center
Years went by.
The cases went cold.

00:15:28.114 --> 00:15:32.404 align:center
Detectives at that time figured whoever
was responsible for the three deaths was

00:15:32.410 --> 00:15:36.920 align:center
either incarcerated for another
crime or had died because

00:15:36.915 --> 00:15:38.995 align:center
they probably wouldn't have
stopped killing on their own.

00:15:39.793 --> 00:15:42.003 align:center
But as soon as I saw that
symbol on the ceiling,

00:15:43.171 --> 00:15:47.051 align:center
I realized that was the killer from 95.
He wasn't bluffing in his letter.

00:15:47.717 --> 00:15:52.427 align:center
He hadn't stopped. He had
just taken a 15 year break.

00:15:53.148 --> 00:15:54.168 align:center
Why?

00:15:55.150 --> 00:15:56.900 align:center
We're still trying
to figure that one out.

00:15:57.402 --> 00:16:00.782 align:center
One thing's for sure:
If his first murder spree

00:16:00.780 --> 00:16:02.700 align:center
had felt sloppy and unplanned,

00:16:03.366 --> 00:16:06.656 align:center
this new one was anything but.

00:16:21.676 --> 00:16:24.636 align:center
The suspect gained entry through
a first floor bathroom window,

00:16:25.055 --> 00:16:27.175 align:center
cut through a screen on
the side of the house,

00:16:27.182 --> 00:16:30.902 align:center
then attacks Ted and Tiffany
sometime after 1:15 AM

00:16:31.186 --> 00:16:33.606 align:center
after Tiffany sends her last work email.

00:16:34.314 --> 00:16:38.024 align:center
There was bruising on Ted's
face. Struck by a blunt object.

00:16:38.443 --> 00:16:42.403 align:center
We think the suspect probably roughed
him up as a form of intimidation and

00:16:42.405 --> 00:16:45.405 align:center
convinced him and Tiffany
to go downstairs willingly.

00:16:46.326 --> 00:16:47.656 align:center
This little girl...

00:16:47.953 --> 00:16:49.533 align:center
Samantha.

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.170 align:center
Yeah, it looks like
she put up more of a fight.

00:16:52.499 --> 00:16:57.259 align:center
Some of the furniture in her room, her
comforter, all disturbed and in disarray.

00:16:57.754 --> 00:17:02.084 align:center
The suspect zip-ties their hands and feet.
Wraps duct tape around their mouths.

00:17:02.592 --> 00:17:05.892 align:center
You see, this guy had gotten smarter.
He had learned from the murders in 95.

00:17:06.638 --> 00:17:10.808 align:center
Less sloppy, more methodical. I
mean, the buckets. What the fuck?

00:17:12.143 --> 00:17:13.013 align:center
Pardon my French.

00:17:14.562 --> 00:17:17.942 align:center
He ties the three of them to
chairs around the dining room

00:17:19.109 --> 00:17:21.949 align:center
deliberately facing each
other. You understand?

00:17:21.945 --> 00:17:25.155 align:center
He places their feet in these
Five-gallon painters buckets.

00:17:26.283 --> 00:17:28.283 align:center
He prepared these things ahead of time.

00:17:28.285 --> 00:17:30.745 align:center
Like, they had their names on them, literally.

00:17:30.745 --> 00:17:34.785 align:center
Like, “Ted”, “Tiffany”,
“Samantha” written out.

00:17:35.625 --> 00:17:38.705 align:center
He draws three lines on each of them,

00:17:38.712 --> 00:17:41.012 align:center
like the kind you'd
find on a measuring cup.

00:17:41.673 --> 00:17:44.753 align:center
Except this wasn't for
measuring out rice...

00:17:45.427 --> 00:17:46.807 align:center
It’s for their blood.

00:17:47.637 --> 00:17:48.927 align:center
By volume.

00:17:50.098 --> 00:17:50.928 align:center
Going,

00:17:52.350 --> 00:17:53.650 align:center
Going.

00:17:55.353 --> 00:17:56.643 align:center
Gone.

00:17:57.063 --> 00:18:01.983 align:center
The suspect used a box cutter
to make a small six centimeter

00:18:01.985 --> 00:18:05.655 align:center
incision through the skin on each victim

00:18:07.365 --> 00:18:09.235 align:center
and the result was fatal blood loss.

00:18:09.951 --> 00:18:13.171 align:center
There's about a gallon and a
half of blood in the human body.

00:18:13.747 --> 00:18:16.377 align:center
It takes maybe 15 minutes
for that to drain out,

00:18:16.374 --> 00:18:19.044 align:center
but you can be dead in as soon as three.

00:18:19.753 --> 00:18:22.543 align:center
The femoral artery is
at your groin, basically

00:18:22.547 --> 00:18:25.047 align:center
at the top of your thigh.
If you're sitting upright,

00:18:25.842 --> 00:18:27.932 align:center
gravity just kind of does its thing.

00:18:28.678 --> 00:18:30.848 align:center
The technical term for this
is exsanguination.

00:18:32.307 --> 00:18:36.227 align:center
Part of what really earns that
term “ritualistic”, in my opinion,

00:18:36.686 --> 00:18:38.726 align:center
is anything done post-mortem.

00:18:39.689 --> 00:18:43.739 align:center
So, “normal homicide” you stab
a person, shoot a person,

00:18:44.152 --> 00:18:46.822 align:center
you get the heck out of there.
You don't stick around.

00:18:46.821 --> 00:18:48.951 align:center
Every second you wait is another
second to get caught.

00:18:49.991 --> 00:18:51.951 align:center
From what we can put together,

00:18:51.951 --> 00:18:55.461 align:center
our suspect hung around
another two hours at least.

00:18:56.915 --> 00:18:57.915 align:center
He leaves the house,

00:18:58.875 --> 00:19:02.585 align:center
comes back with a 24-foot extension
ladder that he gets from his vehicle,

00:19:03.338 --> 00:19:07.048 align:center
and then he goes to work painting
this thing on the ceiling.

00:19:07.050 --> 00:19:10.560 align:center
And it’s not a small room and
he goes almost wall to wall.

00:19:11.221 --> 00:19:13.351 align:center
It's almost 20 feet.

00:19:13.348 --> 00:19:16.018 align:center
And he does a good job.
He's careful.

00:19:16.643 --> 00:19:19.603 align:center
Does a couple of layers,
almost no drips on the floor.

00:19:20.280 --> 00:19:22.370 align:center
And he positions the bodies.

00:19:22.365 --> 00:19:27.205 align:center
And all this he does without any
neighbors hearing a sound

00:19:27.871 --> 00:19:29.621 align:center
or seeing a thing.

00:19:29.623 --> 00:19:32.123 align:center
No fingerprints,
no DNA left at the scene.

00:19:33.543 --> 00:19:36.373 align:center
No motive.
No relation to the victims.

00:19:36.796 --> 00:19:39.426 align:center
Three days later, another
letter arrives in the mail.

00:19:42.636 --> 00:19:48.386 align:center
Hope you blue baddies are having fun chasing my
tail because the harvest has just begun

00:19:48.391 --> 00:19:50.561 align:center
and reaping’s so much fun.

00:19:51.186 --> 00:19:54.646 align:center
A gruesome discovery was made
just this morning by a jogger

00:19:54.648 --> 00:19:57.648 align:center
of a human head here
in in Paris Hill Park.

00:19:57.651 --> 00:20:01.951 align:center
The jogger, Chelsea Lunsford, has been coming here
every weekday morning for two years.

00:20:01.947 --> 00:20:06.577 align:center
She enjoys the serenity of the landscape
and was not prepared for what she would find.

00:20:06.576 --> 00:20:10.206 align:center
My friend was just telling me how I should
bring mace or a stun gun or something

00:20:10.205 --> 00:20:14.035 align:center
with me when I go running and
yeah, I guess she was right.

00:20:26.054 --> 00:20:29.724 align:center
On the night of November 8th, the suspect
entered the home of the two victims,

00:20:30.016 --> 00:20:32.846 align:center
Tamara LaTorre and her
boyfriend, Glenn Sandweiss,

00:20:32.978 --> 00:20:34.858 align:center
through a dog door in the back of the house.

00:20:35.939 --> 00:20:39.279 align:center
They were watching TV in the
living room. Volume was up,

00:20:39.276 --> 00:20:42.816 align:center
which allowed him to sneak up on them
undetected until the last minute.

00:20:43.405 --> 00:20:46.405 align:center
According to Mr. Sandweiss,
he attacks Tamara first.

00:20:46.408 --> 00:20:49.198 align:center
Uses a stun gun to incapacitate her.

00:20:49.911 --> 00:20:52.921 align:center
We think the suspect was not
expecting Sandweiss to be home.

00:20:53.456 --> 00:20:56.126 align:center
Sandweiss says that he seems confused.

00:20:56.668 --> 00:21:01.088 align:center
There's a brief struggle before Sandweiss
is overpowered by the suspect and brought to

00:21:01.089 --> 00:21:04.679 align:center
the floor. That's when the attack
with the propane torch begins.

00:21:05.635 --> 00:21:08.265 align:center
He literally burns this guy's face off.

00:21:10.515 --> 00:21:13.895 align:center
Is there anything else you can remember
that would help us catch who did this?

00:21:14.644 --> 00:21:15.804 align:center
Like what?

00:21:15.812 --> 00:21:19.402 align:center
Anything he might have done or said?

00:21:20.233 --> 00:21:21.063 align:center
I don't know.

00:21:21.067 --> 00:21:21.857 align:center
Okay.

00:21:23.862 --> 00:21:25.662 align:center
He was just rambling, he kept saying

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.160 align:center
he wasn't going to hurt
us and not to be afraid.

00:21:30.535 --> 00:21:32.035 align:center
Something about

00:21:32.996 --> 00:21:33.866 align:center
“Kaliban”

00:21:36.499 --> 00:21:37.919 align:center
I have no fucking idea!

00:21:37.917 --> 00:21:41.167 align:center
Jesus Christ, why the
fuck is this happening?

00:21:42.297 --> 00:21:44.507 align:center
Oh God. What did we do?

00:21:50.221 --> 00:21:51.641 align:center
What do you want to know?

00:21:52.390 --> 00:21:54.270 align:center
The fuck you think happened?

00:21:56.770 --> 00:21:59.610 align:center
You really think I was going to be
able to be a teacher looking like this?

00:22:02.150 --> 00:22:04.610 align:center
Standing up in front of a
group of 5th graders.

00:22:05.236 --> 00:22:06.906 align:center
They’d be terrified.

00:22:08.715 --> 00:22:10.585 align:center
You could still work in education.

00:22:10.592 --> 00:22:11.832 align:center
Doing what?

00:22:13.453 --> 00:22:14.573 align:center
Telling my story?

00:22:17.665 --> 00:22:20.085 align:center
Try and be inspirational.

00:22:20.752 --> 00:22:21.802 align:center
I can't work.

00:22:23.838 --> 00:22:26.008 align:center
Got no friends.

00:22:27.801 --> 00:22:29.051 align:center
Nerve damage.

00:22:29.677 --> 00:22:32.307 align:center
It feels like my face
is on fire all the time.

00:22:34.682 --> 00:22:36.602 align:center
I'm already dead, man.

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:38.939 align:center
I'm just not in the ground

00:22:40.313 --> 00:22:41.773 align:center
like Tamara is.

00:22:47.487 --> 00:22:50.317 align:center
You got what you need. I'm
fucking done. Get my money

00:22:50.323 --> 00:22:51.533 align:center
and get the fuck out of my house.

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.709 align:center
Tamara's head, the sculpture,
the weird trinkets on the ground,

00:22:57.997 --> 00:23:02.297 align:center
all of it was carefully examined
and once again, no fingerprints,

00:23:02.669 --> 00:23:04.839 align:center
no DNA left behind.
We had nothing.

00:23:06.097 --> 00:23:07.227 align:center
Until we got lucky.

00:23:07.974 --> 00:23:11.554 align:center
A woman who works at the strip mall down
the street from the park said she had

00:23:11.561 --> 00:23:16.071 align:center
seen a guy with a truck unloading
several garbage bags into a dumpster the

00:23:16.066 --> 00:23:19.816 align:center
morning of the murder. White
truck, red lettering, she said.

00:23:20.737 --> 00:23:25.237 align:center
So we pulled footage from a credit
union's ATM at the strip mall and

00:23:25.242 --> 00:23:28.542 align:center
it wasn't a great angle, but
it did catch something.

00:23:33.250 --> 00:23:36.670 align:center
The owner of the white truck,
Victor Shamaz, was a 45 year old man

00:23:36.670 --> 00:23:39.630 align:center
living in Riverside who had
a small house painting business.

00:23:39.965 --> 00:23:42.335 align:center
He had a rap sheet...
it was relatively clean.

00:23:42.592 --> 00:23:46.432 align:center
A few minor narcotic citations,
a “B&E” from a decade earlier,

00:23:47.472 --> 00:23:51.142 align:center
but he had a restraining order taken
out against him recently for apparently

00:23:51.393 --> 00:23:54.933 align:center
stalking a woman he met online.
That didn't sit well with us.

00:23:55.689 --> 00:23:58.529 align:center
We called him in for
questioning and he agreed.

00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.989 align:center
Mr. Shamaz, thank you
for meeting with us today.

00:24:02.237 --> 00:24:04.987 align:center
Yeah. I just wanna help.

00:24:05.532 --> 00:24:08.202 align:center
So, in regards to this work truck,

00:24:08.702 --> 00:24:12.542 align:center
it looks like you called it in stolen
yesterday after we got off the phone.

00:24:12.956 --> 00:24:16.746 align:center
Yeah. Yeah. I actually didn't even know
that it was gone until you guys told me.

00:24:17.085 --> 00:24:18.585 align:center
Even though it had been
missing for a week?

00:24:19.087 --> 00:24:20.667 align:center
I haven't been taking
a lot of jobs lately,

00:24:21.423 --> 00:24:24.883 align:center
so it's just been sitting there
parked down the road and stuff.

00:24:25.051 --> 00:24:25.891 align:center
I didn't even notice.

00:24:26.469 --> 00:24:27.559 align:center
So just to be clear,

00:24:28.013 --> 00:24:30.633 align:center
you are stating you have not left
your house since November 9th?

00:24:31.308 --> 00:24:33.768 align:center
Yeah, I think so.

00:24:33.768 --> 00:24:35.058 align:center
You think so?

00:24:35.895 --> 00:24:37.685 align:center
Did you go anywhere else?

00:24:37.689 --> 00:24:40.069 align:center
No. I mean, I didn't drive anywhere.

00:24:40.483 --> 00:24:43.773 align:center
Shamaz continues to claim he
has no knowledge of any crimes.

00:24:43.778 --> 00:24:46.948 align:center
That he simply didn't notice
his work truck was stolen.

00:24:47.532 --> 00:24:51.462 align:center
We asked him if he'd be willing to take
a polygraph test to which he agrees.

00:24:52.329 --> 00:24:53.789 align:center
Is your name Victor Shamaz?

00:24:53.788 --> 00:24:54.498 align:center
Yes.

00:24:54.497 --> 00:24:57.087 align:center
He bombs the polygraph test
about as badly as you can,

00:24:57.417 --> 00:25:02.167 align:center
shows to be evasive or lying about
nearly every question asked.

00:25:02.172 --> 00:25:04.802 align:center
In fact, the only question he
actually appears to tell the truth on

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:06.509 align:center
are his name and address.

00:25:06.885 --> 00:25:07.715 align:center
Of course,

00:25:07.719 --> 00:25:11.519 align:center
polygraph tests aren't always accurate
and they're not admissible in court.

00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:17.189 align:center
It's just a useful tool, but it was
pretty obvious Shamaz was lying.

00:25:18.772 --> 00:25:22.782 align:center
So Shamaz manages to get himself arrested
after it’s discovered he's carrying a

00:25:22.776 --> 00:25:25.906 align:center
fairly large amount of methamphetamine
and an unregistered handgun.

00:25:26.237 --> 00:25:28.117 align:center
Looks like Shamaz was trying to skip town.

00:25:28.782 --> 00:25:31.452 align:center
I just want to come and clear the air.

00:25:32.285 --> 00:25:36.705 align:center
I don't know what you think I've
done, but I have not killed anybody.

00:25:37.624 --> 00:25:42.374 align:center
Okay. I had nothing to do with
any of these fucking murders.

00:25:42.379 --> 00:25:43.839 align:center
Then why'd you lie to us, Victor?

00:25:44.422 --> 00:25:49.352 align:center
I was at this “Quik N Go” and somebody
come and pulled me out of my truck

00:25:49.719 --> 00:25:51.679 align:center
and beat the shit out of me, okay?

00:25:52.097 --> 00:25:56.017 align:center
Like I thought I was a fucking dead man and
then he just takes my truck and that's it.

00:25:56.518 --> 00:25:57.938 align:center
So I don’t say shit because I’m scared

00:25:58.436 --> 00:26:03.186 align:center
but I have nothing to do with the fucking
killers or the murders or any of that shit.

00:26:03.566 --> 00:26:04.946 align:center
I swear to God it wasn't me.

00:26:04.951 --> 00:26:05.951 align:center
Okay, slow down.

00:26:05.952 --> 00:26:09.462 align:center
It became evident Shamaz wasn't
our guy. He was a scumbag,

00:26:09.456 --> 00:26:12.956 align:center
but he wasn't our scumbag and
he didn't really know anything,

00:26:14.085 --> 00:26:16.165 align:center
although he did give us one
new piece of information.

00:26:16.755 --> 00:26:19.175 align:center
So this guy that beat you up
and attacked you,

00:26:19.174 --> 00:26:20.544 align:center
What did he look like?

00:26:20.550 --> 00:26:22.600 align:center
No. Yeah. Sorry,
I should have mentioned that.

00:26:22.594 --> 00:26:24.554 align:center
But he was wearing like a mask,

00:26:26.514 --> 00:26:28.094 align:center
like a freaky ass mask.

00:26:33.521 --> 00:26:34.941 align:center
He started wearing a mask.

00:26:35.649 --> 00:26:36.989 align:center
That meant only one thing.

00:26:37.776 --> 00:26:40.776 align:center
He had seen us on the news and
knew we were actively pursuing him.

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.369 align:center
He wanted to make that loud
and clear in his next letter.

00:26:47.118 --> 00:26:50.998 align:center
So close yet so far!
How frustrating that must be.

00:26:51.998 --> 00:26:54.128 align:center
The Great Shambler arrives at the gates!

00:26:55.168 --> 00:26:57.838 align:center
We will all perish in a flesh mosoleum,

00:26:57.837 --> 00:27:01.127 align:center
but be reborn amidst
wonder and glory forever.

00:27:01.716 --> 00:27:06.216 align:center
A few months go by, nothing new happens.
And of course a part of me is thinking,

00:27:06.471 --> 00:27:10.691 align:center
hoping maybe that's it. Maybe it's
already over and this guy's finished.

00:27:12.269 --> 00:27:16.019 align:center
But another part of me, the cynical
part, knows that can't be true.

00:27:17.357 --> 00:27:18.647 align:center
He'll let us know when he is finished.

00:27:20.735 --> 00:27:22.815 align:center
It's about 6 in the morning
and I get a call from Joe.

00:27:24.030 --> 00:27:25.330 align:center
They found another body.

00:27:26.366 --> 00:27:28.696 align:center
Earlier this morning,
a horrific discovery was

00:27:28.702 --> 00:27:32.082 align:center
reported to police here at the
North Riverside Aquatics Center.

00:27:32.747 --> 00:27:33.997 align:center
This was a bad one.

00:27:35.709 --> 00:27:37.709 align:center
A group of skate kids broke into the building

00:27:37.711 --> 00:27:39.631 align:center
to check the place out and smoke weed.

00:27:39.629 --> 00:27:40.919 align:center
Just a couple of dumb teenagers.

00:27:45.343 --> 00:27:47.173 align:center
I doubt they'll be doing
that again anytime soon.

00:27:51.099 --> 00:27:52.599 align:center
When you first saw the body,

00:27:52.600 --> 00:27:56.730 align:center
it looked like it was covered
in mud or slime or something.

00:27:57.105 --> 00:27:58.935 align:center
It was so shiny.

00:28:01.568 --> 00:28:03.658 align:center
Coroner's official cause of death...

00:28:04.904 --> 00:28:07.484 align:center
Fatal loss of blood by leeches.

00:28:09.492 --> 00:28:11.542 align:center
Victim's name was Dennis Zhao,

00:28:11.536 --> 00:28:14.286 align:center
43-year-old Chinese immigrant
living in Riverside.

00:28:14.581 --> 00:28:17.591 align:center
He was last seen leaving an apartment
he shared with several other people

00:28:17.584 --> 00:28:20.334 align:center
to catch a bus and was never seen again.

00:28:20.795 --> 00:28:24.625 align:center
Bodies found four days later and he
had only been deceased less than a day.

00:28:27.010 --> 00:28:28.850 align:center
The suspect had been breeding them, right?

00:28:29.929 --> 00:28:34.939 align:center
This particular type of leech takes about
three weeks for the eggs to form and hatch.

00:28:34.934 --> 00:28:37.934 align:center
And another two weeks to reach maturity.

00:28:38.855 --> 00:28:43.695 align:center
So he'd been preparing this thing for
over a month, coming here day after day,

00:28:44.527 --> 00:28:48.527 align:center
checking in on his babies, feeding
them, keeping the water clean.

00:28:49.199 --> 00:28:50.789 align:center
Checking the PH.

00:28:51.409 --> 00:28:52.909 align:center
He might be a monster,

00:28:53.244 --> 00:28:55.784 align:center
but he does have some
kind of paternal instinct.

00:28:56.956 --> 00:29:01.086 align:center
Then he abducts Dennis Zhao and he
brings him here, strips him naked,

00:29:01.086 --> 00:29:02.416 align:center
puts him in the water,

00:29:03.004 --> 00:29:07.884 align:center
creates this barrier around the
deep end and all along the edges

00:29:07.884 --> 00:29:09.884 align:center
so he can't get out no
matter how hard he tries.

00:29:10.595 --> 00:29:12.715 align:center
Then he begins releasing
these things in the pool.

00:29:14.140 --> 00:29:16.850 align:center
The species found in
the pool with Mr. Zhao

00:29:17.769 --> 00:29:22.149 align:center
is called H. Stagnalis.
In the case of H. Stagnalis

00:29:22.148 --> 00:29:27.148 align:center
it has this sucker on the front of
its body that it uses to attach to

00:29:27.153 --> 00:29:27.983 align:center
the host.

00:29:29.155 --> 00:29:32.785 align:center
They have three small jaws that
create a Y-shaped incision.

00:29:32.784 --> 00:29:35.404 align:center
It's how they get the tasty pay dirt.

00:29:39.999 --> 00:29:43.419 align:center
Leeches will consume up to ten times
their own body weight in blood,

00:29:44.045 --> 00:29:48.585 align:center
which sounds like a lot, but it's
really, it's like two teaspoons.

00:29:49.551 --> 00:29:54.021 align:center
This bloodletting by leeches process went
on for nearly three straight days.

00:29:54.848 --> 00:29:59.058 align:center
The suspect just methodically
keeps fishing out full leches,

00:29:59.060 --> 00:30:01.560 align:center
adding more empties on and on

00:30:01.563 --> 00:30:05.563 align:center
as Dennis Zhao becomes
more and more incapacitated.

00:30:06.067 --> 00:30:07.487 align:center
I've always been lousy at math,

00:30:07.610 --> 00:30:11.030 align:center
but basically it took a shit load
of leeches to kill Dennis Zhao.

00:30:12.073 --> 00:30:14.983 align:center
Eventually up to his neck in
this filthy leech filled water,

00:30:14.993 --> 00:30:16.653 align:center
he finally succumbeded to his injuries.

00:30:18.163 --> 00:30:20.823 align:center
Oh, and the reason no one ever hears
screaming from the building...

00:30:22.250 --> 00:30:23.880 align:center
Zhaos tongue was cut out.

00:30:24.469 --> 00:30:28.179 align:center
A leech bite looks a little
like the symbol, doesn't it?

00:30:29.057 --> 00:30:31.597 align:center
See how it's sort of a triangle?

00:30:32.394 --> 00:30:35.014 align:center
But like most clues, this just
led to more questions.

00:30:35.021 --> 00:30:36.531 align:center
What do these dots mean?

00:30:37.607 --> 00:30:38.857 align:center
What the hell am I looking at?

00:30:39.484 --> 00:30:43.654 align:center
We later figured out that the suspect first
got in contact with Mr. Zhao because of

00:30:43.655 --> 00:30:45.575 align:center
a Craigslist ad he posted.

00:30:46.032 --> 00:30:49.542 align:center
They had exchanged a few messages and
then arranged to meet up for sex at a

00:30:49.536 --> 00:30:50.996 align:center
motel down the street from the pool.

00:30:51.496 --> 00:30:53.786 align:center
This finally led to the
big break in the case.

00:30:54.124 --> 00:30:57.744 align:center
Our technicians were able to identify the
IP address where the Craigslist ad

00:30:57.752 --> 00:30:59.302 align:center
was originally posted.

00:30:59.671 --> 00:31:03.841 align:center
The ad and subsequent back and forth
messaging had been made from a coffee shop

00:31:03.842 --> 00:31:08.102 align:center
in Mission Grove on February
11th. This was a huge lead.

00:31:08.388 --> 00:31:12.728 align:center
We finally were able to trace the suspect's
whereabout outside of a crime scene.

00:31:12.976 --> 00:31:15.396 align:center
I mean, I got to admit,
I was really starting to think

00:31:15.395 --> 00:31:18.435 align:center
we were chasing a ghost
or a vampire or something.

00:31:19.065 --> 00:31:21.185 align:center
We did surveillance on
the place for about a week.

00:31:21.776 --> 00:31:25.356 align:center
The last thing we wanted to do was draw
any attention to ourselves if this guy

00:31:25.363 --> 00:31:28.903 align:center
was a regular, for example, and
came in all the time.

00:31:29.617 --> 00:31:32.577 align:center
I mean, we were always hoping and
praying maybe he swings by for a cup

00:31:32.579 --> 00:31:36.339 align:center
of coffee or place another ad, and
just like that we'd have him.

00:31:37.834 --> 00:31:38.794 align:center
No such luck.

00:31:39.127 --> 00:31:41.297 align:center
There were three employees
working that day.

00:31:42.088 --> 00:31:44.968 align:center
None of them could remember the
suspect. It's a popular place,

00:31:45.467 --> 00:31:48.427 align:center
so he may have picked it for that
reason. No surveillance system,

00:31:48.553 --> 00:31:53.343 align:center
no cameras anywhere at all. But the area
does have a large homeless population.

00:31:55.518 --> 00:31:58.648 align:center
Excuse me, sir, you mind
if I talk to you for a sec?

00:32:00.732 --> 00:32:03.112 align:center
You're talking about the
one near Andulka Park?

00:32:03.610 --> 00:32:07.370 align:center
Yeah. Yeah, that's it. I'm
just sitting there, right?

00:32:08.531 --> 00:32:11.081 align:center
And he comes up to me and

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:16.500 align:center
I didn’t know what he wanted...
“I want to hire you as day labor.”

00:32:16.956 --> 00:32:18.086 align:center
Did he say what kind of labor?

00:32:20.093 --> 00:32:22.803 align:center
Landscaping, working on
a house or something.

00:32:23.054 --> 00:32:23.924 align:center
And you get in his car?

00:32:24.723 --> 00:32:25.553 align:center
Yep.

00:32:25.557 --> 00:32:26.387 align:center
What kind of car?

00:32:27.475 --> 00:32:28.305 align:center
Like a...

00:32:29.811 --> 00:32:32.901 align:center
...sedan or something, like a blue Camry.

00:32:33.648 --> 00:32:37.858 align:center
When I started talking to this
guy, my jaw was on the floor, man.

00:32:38.904 --> 00:32:40.984 align:center
But if he was telling
the truth, this was huge.

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:44.620 align:center
We even had a vehicle description,
but it gets even better.

00:32:44.868 --> 00:32:48.248 align:center
Mr. Johnson tells us he knows
where the suspect's house is.

00:32:49.164 --> 00:32:51.124 align:center
Apparently the suspect
had driven him to it.

00:32:52.292 --> 00:32:54.342 align:center
Okay, see that arrow?

00:32:54.961 --> 00:32:57.471 align:center
It wants you to go left,
but you're going to go straight.

00:32:57.756 --> 00:32:59.466 align:center
He didn't know the street address,

00:32:59.466 --> 00:33:02.176 align:center
but he says he thinks he can
remember how to get there by memory.

00:33:02.844 --> 00:33:06.464 align:center
Apparently he had been driven to a
residence in High Grove where the suspect

00:33:06.473 --> 00:33:10.683 align:center
says he needs to grab some tools before
they went to the so-called “job site”.

00:33:13.688 --> 00:33:16.148 align:center
And that's what brought us
to 144 Artesian Avenue.

00:33:16.942 --> 00:33:20.742 align:center
After picking up a duffel bag, they
get on the 215 headed north.

00:33:21.738 --> 00:33:26.158 align:center
Mr. Johnson said the guy seems normal,
friendly. I mean, even conversational.

00:33:26.826 --> 00:33:28.536 align:center
And that brings us to the bracelet.

00:33:28.828 --> 00:33:32.378 align:center
Johnson says he found this bracelet
in a trash container a few years ago,

00:33:32.749 --> 00:33:35.339 align:center
says he just likes to
wear it, thinks it's cool.

00:33:36.544 --> 00:33:39.664 align:center
Apparently the suspect asks him
about it, starts grilling him.

00:33:39.673 --> 00:33:42.753 align:center
“How long have you been a diabetic?
Do you take insulin?” Etc

00:33:43.218 --> 00:33:45.388 align:center
and Johnson tells him,
bracelet's not his.

00:33:46.388 --> 00:33:51.188 align:center
And then the suspect gets very
visibly angry, pulls off the highway,

00:33:51.434 --> 00:33:54.934 align:center
tells him to get out,
drives off, and that's that.

00:33:55.522 --> 00:33:57.282 align:center
Johnson never sees him again.

00:33:58.817 --> 00:33:59.897 align:center
He's incredibly lucky.

00:34:00.902 --> 00:34:02.662 align:center
I believe if that bracelet had been real,

00:34:02.862 --> 00:34:05.912 align:center
if Johnson had fit whatever criteria
our suspect was looking for,

00:34:06.950 --> 00:34:08.700 align:center
he would most definitely
be dead right now.

00:34:09.286 --> 00:34:12.616 align:center
After learning all this, we go to
the house. Just a normal house.

00:34:13.331 --> 00:34:15.711 align:center
We knock... nobody's home.

00:34:16.584 --> 00:34:20.504 align:center
But we can't just kick the door
in without probable cause. I mean,

00:34:20.505 --> 00:34:24.215 align:center
all we've got is the word of an unemployed
drifter with a minor criminal record

00:34:24.676 --> 00:34:27.176 align:center
who we also paid for the
information he gave us.

00:34:28.013 --> 00:34:29.303 align:center
That's not going to get us a warrant.

00:34:30.974 --> 00:34:35.264 align:center
And that's when I see it above
the door - staring us in the face.

00:34:36.271 --> 00:34:37.861 align:center
We kept most of the evidence we had,

00:34:37.856 --> 00:34:42.356 align:center
which wasn't much, pretty close to the
chest as far as the media was concerned.

00:34:43.236 --> 00:34:46.526 align:center
That symbol... the image was
never released to the public

00:34:46.948 --> 00:34:49.908 align:center
so nobody could know about it unless they
were involved in one of the crimes.

00:34:51.411 --> 00:34:52.541 align:center
That was enough.

00:34:53.038 --> 00:34:54.328 align:center
We called in the cavalry.

00:35:22.650 --> 00:35:24.700 align:center
I don't know what I was
expecting to find in there.

00:35:25.453 --> 00:35:27.493 align:center
Torture dungeon...
haunted house...

00:35:27.497 --> 00:35:28.877 align:center
something from a horror movie.

00:35:30.667 --> 00:35:32.087 align:center
But it wasn't like that at all.

00:35:32.544 --> 00:35:35.464 align:center
It was banal, mundane.

00:35:36.006 --> 00:35:37.376 align:center
That doesn't mean it
wasn't a little weird.

00:35:58.778 --> 00:36:00.618 align:center
But weird doesn't necessarily make you guilty.

00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:04.329 align:center
There was no evidence the person that
lived there was involved in anything other

00:36:04.326 --> 00:36:07.826 align:center
than the symbol over the doorway,
and that was purely circumstantial.

00:36:09.998 --> 00:36:13.338 align:center
Look at this. That's
just lovely, isn't it?

00:36:13.835 --> 00:36:17.545 align:center
The property owner was an older woman
who lived in San Diego who said she had

00:36:17.547 --> 00:36:20.297 align:center
been renting the house to, you guessed it,

00:36:20.300 --> 00:36:23.100 align:center
someone who called
themselves Albert Shiny.

00:36:23.720 --> 00:36:26.850 align:center
Apparently Mr. Shiny was willing
to pay for a year up front in cash,

00:36:27.098 --> 00:36:30.848 align:center
so she didn't ask too many questions
and had only met him twice.

00:36:31.603 --> 00:36:36.143 align:center
So we start dusting for fingerprints
and we can't find any - literally.

00:36:36.149 --> 00:36:39.399 align:center
Not one print, which makes no sense for
the inside of someone's house.

00:36:39.402 --> 00:36:42.202 align:center
There should be thousands of them.

00:36:42.197 --> 00:36:45.287 align:center
I mean, was this guy wearing gloves
every second of every day?

00:36:46.076 --> 00:36:50.116 align:center
Finally, we found some fingerprints on a
telescope that was outside on the deck.

00:36:50.413 --> 00:36:53.283 align:center
Immediately got them out to the lab
and run through the computer

00:36:54.417 --> 00:36:57.127 align:center
And boom, we got a hit.

00:36:58.046 --> 00:37:01.796 align:center
The print matched to the partial that was
found in 95 from the Noah LaFone murder.

00:37:03.218 --> 00:37:05.928 align:center
I couldn't believe it.
We might have our guy.

00:37:08.640 --> 00:37:11.270 align:center
The fingerprints belonged
to a Leslie Sykes.

00:37:12.018 --> 00:37:16.018 align:center
Born December 20th, 1962
in Branson, Missouri.

00:37:18.275 --> 00:37:20.315 align:center
Homer Johnson, the homeless gentleman,

00:37:20.485 --> 00:37:22.775 align:center
swore Sykes was the person
who had given him a ride.

00:37:23.321 --> 00:37:26.121 align:center
The woman who rented the house
also ID’ d him off his photo.

00:37:26.700 --> 00:37:30.080 align:center
Sykes had no criminal record, no
employment history, no current address,

00:37:30.287 --> 00:37:33.287 align:center
no phone number or bank
account, and big surprise,

00:37:33.581 --> 00:37:37.921 align:center
the guy hadn't paid taxes in more than
two decades. Yeah, he really was a ghost,

00:37:37.919 --> 00:37:41.129 align:center
but he was our ghost and we had to
find him before he killed again.

00:37:41.631 --> 00:37:45.511 align:center
Riverside Police are asking for the
public's help in locating this man.

00:37:45.885 --> 00:37:50.595 align:center
50-year-old Leslie Sykes is a person of
interest in what has been dubbed as

00:37:50.807 --> 00:37:51.937 align:center
the “Mr. Shiny murders”.

00:37:52.475 --> 00:37:56.725 align:center
The killer in that case has now taken
the lives of eight people in both

00:37:56.730 --> 00:37:59.740 align:center
San Bernardino and Riverside
counties and is still at large.

00:38:00.150 --> 00:38:01.950 align:center
We tried to do a total media blitz,

00:38:02.068 --> 00:38:04.778 align:center
get this guy's picture in front
of as many people as possible.

00:38:05.196 --> 00:38:07.276 align:center
The story got carried all over California,

00:38:07.949 --> 00:38:11.829 align:center
even in a few of the surrounding states,
but no one was really paying attention.

00:38:12.495 --> 00:38:15.705 align:center
But one person that did see
the coverage was Leslie Sykes.

00:38:18.501 --> 00:38:24.341 align:center
Leslie Sykes has been transfigured.
You can't stop him or what he has become.

00:38:24.341 --> 00:38:26.721 align:center
Hail Azragor. Hail Drag Aul.

00:38:27.218 --> 00:38:31.638 align:center
You have no idea what I’m saying.
Five to go, and then you'll know.

00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:36.269 align:center
Five to go and then we'll know what?

00:38:37.228 --> 00:38:40.938 align:center
It was a sick game to him, but
it was also absolutely serious.

00:38:41.149 --> 00:38:45.909 align:center
Would he really stop at five? The next
murder happened less than a month later.

00:38:46.488 --> 00:38:47.568 align:center
March 19th.

00:38:48.698 --> 00:38:54.498 align:center
The victim was a 16-year-old high school
student named Victoria Macenroe.

00:38:55.747 --> 00:38:56.917 align:center
16...

00:38:58.425 --> 00:39:00.925 align:center
She was alone at her
parents' home in Highland.

00:39:01.595 --> 00:39:04.135 align:center
They had gone out to visit
friends in Rancho Cucamonga.

00:39:05.015 --> 00:39:09.895 align:center
Sykes jumped the gate and entered through
a first floor window at or around 9:21.

00:39:10.145 --> 00:39:13.185 align:center
And we know this because
it was caught on camera.

00:39:13.815 --> 00:39:17.525 align:center
Okay, so this is the “Color Dreams”
palette by Adorable Damage.

00:39:18.153 --> 00:39:19.903 align:center
I am just obsessed with this brand lately.

00:39:20.155 --> 00:39:24.365 align:center
I actually reviewed their “Shimmer
Shadow” palette in my top ten video and

00:39:24.951 --> 00:39:26.791 align:center
they are just killing it. Okay?

00:39:26.786 --> 00:39:31.126 align:center
What I'm going to do is I'm going to go
in for kind of a smoky look

00:39:31.124 --> 00:39:32.204 align:center
with this one right here,

00:39:33.126 --> 00:39:36.336 align:center
and then you can just
go in a circular motion.

00:39:36.546 --> 00:39:39.796 align:center
You don't have to do a bunch of back
and forth windshield wiper crap.

00:39:40.967 --> 00:39:42.047 align:center
So we'll start...

00:39:43.470 --> 00:39:45.100 align:center
“Windshield wiper” -
that sounds stupid.

00:39:48.516 --> 00:39:51.516 align:center
Hey, I thought you were going to text
me on the way home. I'm starving.

00:39:55.232 --> 00:39:56.192 align:center
Mom?

00:39:56.566 --> 00:39:57.486 align:center
Mom?

00:39:58.485 --> 00:39:59.355 align:center
Dad?

00:40:17.671 --> 00:40:19.381 align:center
No please. Please I’ll do anything.

00:40:19.381 --> 00:40:22.301 align:center
Please, my parents can pay you
anything, just please don’t hurt me.

00:40:22.300 --> 00:40:22.890 align:center
Please!

00:41:34.080 --> 00:41:37.540 align:center
The video glitches pretty bad there
and it's hard to tell what's going on.

00:41:37.542 --> 00:41:39.672 align:center
We've combed over it frame-by-frame,

00:41:39.836 --> 00:41:42.376 align:center
but it's just too messed
up to see anything clearly.

00:41:43.631 --> 00:41:46.851 align:center
But obviously Sykes was
performing some kind of ritual.

00:41:48.053 --> 00:41:52.973 align:center
Ritual murder, strictly speaking,
is a relatively obscure phenomena,

00:41:53.558 --> 00:41:56.228 align:center
not just in the United
States, but worldwide.

00:41:56.519 --> 00:42:00.649 align:center
It just doesn't happen that
often in its purest form.

00:42:01.066 --> 00:42:07.116 align:center
To this day, people still believe that the
Manson family was a Satanic cult.

00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:09.279 align:center
It's not true.

00:42:09.616 --> 00:42:13.496 align:center
Of course, that's not to say
that ritual murder never happens.

00:42:13.495 --> 00:42:16.995 align:center
There were the murder suicides
in the Solar Temple cult,

00:42:17.332 --> 00:42:20.882 align:center
the Falls Rivers Cult,
Order of the Black Sun.

00:42:21.336 --> 00:42:25.716 align:center
The Mr. Shiny murders
definitely seem ritualistic,

00:42:25.715 --> 00:42:28.385 align:center
but I didn't recognize
any of the iconography.

00:42:28.676 --> 00:42:32.346 align:center
This wasn't some goetic
rite pulled from a grimoire.

00:42:32.347 --> 00:42:34.347 align:center
There was nothing Abrahamic.

00:42:34.766 --> 00:42:36.896 align:center
As I told the police at that time,

00:42:38.311 --> 00:42:39.401 align:center
whatever it was,

00:42:40.772 --> 00:42:44.572 align:center
this guy was a true believer,

00:42:44.567 --> 00:42:47.357 align:center
and very, very dangerous.

00:42:48.780 --> 00:42:50.780 align:center
Now, this is all crazy in its own right,

00:42:51.157 --> 00:42:54.287 align:center
but what's truly unexpected
is what happens next.

00:43:12.929 --> 00:43:17.349 align:center
Somehow, Victoria survives being shot not
only in the head but in the back twice

00:43:17.350 --> 00:43:21.690 align:center
and the shoulder. This is probably because
a 22-caliber weapon was used.

00:43:22.397 --> 00:43:24.817 align:center
And just incredible luck.

00:43:26.734 --> 00:43:27.604 align:center
Victoria?

00:43:29.904 --> 00:43:33.114 align:center
Emergency workers arrive in about 15
minutes and they're able to stabilize

00:43:33.116 --> 00:43:36.076 align:center
Victoria on her way to
St. Bernadine Medical Center.

00:43:37.203 --> 00:43:40.413 align:center
I wish I could tell you
the story ended there.

00:43:41.007 --> 00:43:43.507 align:center
After going through surgery,
she was put in the recovery ward

00:43:43.510 --> 00:43:46.010 align:center
and I had multiple officers
assigned to guard her room

00:43:46.012 --> 00:43:48.892 align:center
just in case, and the hospital
security was put on alert.

00:43:49.849 --> 00:43:51.269 align:center
It should have been enough.

00:43:57.732 --> 00:44:01.152 align:center
Sykes attacks and subdues a nurse just
getting off his shift in the hospital

00:44:01.152 --> 00:44:04.572 align:center
parking lot. Takes his
uniform and entry badge.

00:44:06.074 --> 00:44:08.284 align:center
He walks straight through the front doors,

00:44:08.702 --> 00:44:11.792 align:center
right past security and
goes to Macenroe’s floor.

00:44:12.372 --> 00:44:15.212 align:center
I mean, he seems to know exactly where to go.

00:44:15.801 --> 00:44:19.561 align:center
He goes to the nurses station,
introduces himself to the other staff,

00:44:19.554 --> 00:44:21.924 align:center
says he was transferred from pediatrics.

00:44:22.891 --> 00:44:26.651 align:center
They believe him, says he knows all
the vernacular and hospital procedure.

00:44:27.312 --> 00:44:31.322 align:center
Sykes quite literally cares for three
different patients over a four-hour period.

00:44:31.691 --> 00:44:36.071 align:center
He walks by police and security
several times and is never noticed.

00:44:37.739 --> 00:44:39.739 align:center
Yeah, including by Joe or me.

00:44:42.744 --> 00:44:46.914 align:center
He was right there. We
practically touched each other.

00:44:48.125 --> 00:44:51.835 align:center
If I had just been paying attention.
If I had just looked into his eyes.

00:44:54.089 --> 00:44:59.139 align:center
I’ll never forgive myself for not realizing
just how bold he might really be.

00:44:59.803 --> 00:45:01.673 align:center
He waits until there's a shift change

00:45:01.680 --> 00:45:05.980 align:center
enters the room for stored pharmaceuticals
and proceeds to poison an an AB-negative

00:45:05.976 --> 00:45:10.896 align:center
blood transfusion bag with an industrial
cleaner he finds in a custodial closet.

00:45:11.273 --> 00:45:15.523 align:center
He knows that Macenroe is the only one
with AB-negative in the wing and is the

00:45:15.527 --> 00:45:17.817 align:center
only one who will receive that bag.

00:45:19.072 --> 00:45:20.282 align:center
Then he leaves.

00:45:21.950 --> 00:45:25.910 align:center
Later that night, a nurse comes in
to rotate out Macenroe’s backup bag

00:45:25.912 --> 00:45:28.922 align:center
and unknowingly replaces
it with the poisoned one.

00:45:29.541 --> 00:45:31.421 align:center
Victoria was dead within minutes,

00:45:31.418 --> 00:45:33.338 align:center
but Sykes was long gone by then.

00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:36.470 align:center
This was a huge blow to
everyone involved in the case.

00:45:37.424 --> 00:45:41.464 align:center
The one victim that survived,
we couldn't protect her.

00:45:41.970 --> 00:45:45.180 align:center
I mean, we were right there.
We could have had him.

00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:48.649 align:center
Yeah, that was one of the roughest
nights in my entire life.

00:45:52.898 --> 00:45:54.068 align:center
Could we take a break?

00:46:01.781 --> 00:46:03.241 align:center
It was a rollercoaster.

00:46:08.622 --> 00:46:10.582 align:center
Realizing that she might be hurt,

00:46:13.210 --> 00:46:15.420 align:center
then thinking that

00:46:17.589 --> 00:46:18.759 align:center
she might be okay,

00:46:21.384 --> 00:46:23.754 align:center
thinking that she was okay...

00:46:29.351 --> 00:46:32.151 align:center
Some days I feel like she's still here.

00:46:45.283 --> 00:46:47.363 align:center
You’ve kept her room like this?

00:46:49.037 --> 00:46:51.327 align:center
Yeah, we couldn't touch it.

00:46:52.666 --> 00:46:54.206 align:center
I think about that saying a lot.

00:46:55.001 --> 00:46:58.301 align:center
“You really die the last time
someone says your name”

00:46:59.256 --> 00:47:03.136 align:center
and I guess we kept all her stuff because

00:47:04.219 --> 00:47:05.469 align:center
we didn't want her to die,

00:47:08.056 --> 00:47:10.886 align:center
even though I know she's dead.

00:47:13.353 --> 00:47:15.933 align:center
Victoria Macenroe is serial
killer, Leslie Sykes’,

00:47:15.939 --> 00:47:18.489 align:center
ninth and most recent victim
in the Mr. Shiny murders,

00:47:19.109 --> 00:47:22.529 align:center
a killing spree that spans three
counties and over 18 years.

00:47:23.113 --> 00:47:26.823 align:center
Authorities continue to urge the public
to keep a watchful lookout for Sykes

00:47:27.158 --> 00:47:30.458 align:center
who remains at large and is considered
armed and extremely dangerous.

00:47:31.496 --> 00:47:34.786 align:center
Residents of the Highland neighborhood
where Macenroe was murdered

00:47:34.791 --> 00:47:38.301 align:center
have expressed their frustration
at police for their inability to capture

00:47:38.295 --> 00:47:40.875 align:center
or even come close to
capturing the elusive killer.

00:47:41.923 --> 00:47:44.293 align:center
It's unacceptable. It's insane.

00:47:45.135 --> 00:47:47.555 align:center
Somebody in the San
Bernardino Police Department

00:47:47.554 --> 00:47:50.844 align:center
should be held accountable for
letting it get out of hand like this.

00:47:50.849 --> 00:47:53.399 align:center
It’s messed up how they
haven't caught the guy yet.

00:47:54.352 --> 00:47:56.692 align:center
This used to be a pretty great
place to live, but honestly,

00:47:57.188 --> 00:48:01.608 align:center
I'm really scared and that girl, she just
lives like a couple blocks from here,

00:48:02.027 --> 00:48:03.777 align:center
so I mean who's next, right?

00:48:04.571 --> 00:48:06.701 align:center
We were really feeling the
pressure by this point.

00:48:06.698 --> 00:48:11.038 align:center
Macenroe’s murder seemed to be the
straw that broke the camel's back in terms

00:48:11.036 --> 00:48:14.876 align:center
of public outrage, but
I felt for all of them,

00:48:15.040 --> 00:48:20.420 align:center
every single victim deserved justice and
for everything we'd done up until this point

00:48:21.046 --> 00:48:23.796 align:center
until you catch your guy,
you haven't done shit.

00:48:24.507 --> 00:48:28.177 align:center
We'd already been offering a cash reward
for any lead that led to the arrest of

00:48:28.178 --> 00:48:32.598 align:center
Leslie Sykes, but I convinced the
DA's office to substantially up it.

00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:35.599 align:center
It ended up being one of the
highest in San Bernardino's history.

00:48:35.602 --> 00:48:38.402 align:center
$80,000 for just one person.

00:48:38.396 --> 00:48:40.896 align:center
At the same time, we were
digging into Sykes past,

00:48:40.899 --> 00:48:44.319 align:center
trying to figure out everything
we could, which wasn’t easy.

00:48:44.903 --> 00:48:47.023 align:center
All his known relatives were dead.

00:48:47.030 --> 00:48:50.620 align:center
He had been briefly married in 88
to a woman named Suzanne Hemler,

00:48:50.950 --> 00:48:56.290 align:center
but that was over by 91. Tried to contact
her, but she committed suicide in 2008.

00:48:57.290 --> 00:49:00.250 align:center
We started reaching out to people
Sykes went to high school with,

00:49:00.251 --> 00:49:02.591 align:center
but nobody seems to remember him.

00:49:03.004 --> 00:49:05.504 align:center
Finally, we find someone who will talk to us.

00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:07.309 align:center
A guy named Jared Kelly.

00:49:07.475 --> 00:49:16.105 align:center
He was what? Shy, quiet? He was just
off socially. We'd go to bars, hang out,

00:49:16.109 --> 00:49:19.739 align:center
pick up chicks, and
he would just strike out.

00:49:19.738 --> 00:49:22.658 align:center
Leslie's only real hobby,
if you could call it that,

00:49:22.657 --> 00:49:24.787 align:center
was hiking.
Some rock climbing.

00:49:25.327 --> 00:49:29.417 align:center
He'd go out to Joshua Tree sometimes
on the weekends by himself,

00:49:29.998 --> 00:49:32.128 align:center
do his thing, and then
one time he came back.

00:49:33.001 --> 00:49:35.761 align:center
We were doing gate installation,

00:49:35.754 --> 00:49:38.164 align:center
and he's like fucking all

00:49:38.173 --> 00:49:41.043 align:center
wound up acting weird as shit.

00:49:41.051 --> 00:49:42.801 align:center
How so?

00:49:42.802 --> 00:49:45.972 align:center
Just like... agitated, distracted.

00:49:46.890 --> 00:49:50.390 align:center
Later on he told me he'd had some
sort of “religious experience”

00:49:50.393 --> 00:49:52.973 align:center
in a cave that he found out there...

00:49:52.979 --> 00:49:54.019 align:center
A cave?

00:49:54.356 --> 00:49:59.276 align:center
He saw these red lights coming
from inside of a cave and he

00:49:59.277 --> 00:50:03.527 align:center
heard the sound of
rushing water, “but not”,

00:50:04.241 --> 00:50:07.661 align:center
and that he smelled food
cooking like barbecue

00:50:08.119 --> 00:50:12.879 align:center
And that he went inside and
something appeared to him.

00:50:15.126 --> 00:50:16.296 align:center
Like what?

00:50:16.294 --> 00:50:19.084 align:center
I don’t fucking know. Like a vision.

00:50:19.798 --> 00:50:24.098 align:center
The last time I saw him,
he was living out of his car

00:50:26.888 --> 00:50:31.308 align:center
and he said that he had
burnt all of his possessions.

00:50:31.893 --> 00:50:36.473 align:center
The shit that he was saying. It was so
out there that it fucking stuck with me.

00:50:36.481 --> 00:50:38.071 align:center
It's like ingrained.

00:50:39.401 --> 00:50:42.111 align:center
“Shambler from the Stars”

00:50:44.614 --> 00:50:46.364 align:center
and “The Thorn of Time”,

00:50:46.866 --> 00:50:48.696 align:center
which is metal as fuck.

00:50:50.078 --> 00:50:52.288 align:center
What do you think that means?

00:50:54.916 --> 00:50:55.786 align:center
911 -

00:50:56.042 --> 00:51:01.172 align:center
Hi, I need help at (redacted),
San Miguel Parkway, Rancho West.

00:51:01.631 --> 00:51:03.141 align:center
Do you need an ambulance or police?

00:51:04.009 --> 00:51:04.639 align:center
Police.

00:51:05.260 --> 00:51:06.560 align:center
Somebody killed my dog.

00:51:06.928 --> 00:51:12.888 align:center
Somebody killed your dog? Sykes attempts to break
into the residence of Miles and Kelly Harris,

00:51:13.268 --> 00:51:17.608 align:center
an older couple living in Rancho West.
He scales the fence into their backyard,

00:51:18.189 --> 00:51:22.359 align:center
but is almost immediately attacked by
the Harris's 48 pound pit bull, Cesar.

00:51:22.819 --> 00:51:24.529 align:center
Mr. Harris overhears the commotion,

00:51:24.946 --> 00:51:28.326 align:center
looks into his backyard and sees
the struggle happening. I mean,

00:51:28.325 --> 00:51:32.405 align:center
this was a big animal and it's able to
physically knock Sykes off his feet.

00:51:32.954 --> 00:51:37.084 align:center
We know he was hurt pretty bad because
we find blood on the ground in multiple places.

00:51:37.792 --> 00:51:40.922 align:center
Sadly, the dog's only able to keep
this up for so long before

00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:44.130 align:center
Sykes uses a bladed weapon
and stabs it repeatedly.

00:51:44.132 --> 00:51:45.642 align:center
Then he jumps the fence again.

00:51:45.967 --> 00:51:49.177 align:center
This time I was not going to let the
same thing happen to the Harris’ that

00:51:49.179 --> 00:51:50.809 align:center
happened to Victoria Macenroe.

00:51:51.181 --> 00:51:53.391 align:center
They were immediately put
into protective custody.

00:51:54.434 --> 00:51:57.854 align:center
Not that it mattered because Sykes must
have had a backup plan for that night.

00:51:59.272 --> 00:52:02.192 align:center
31-year-old Leo Deetz was
working a night shift

00:52:02.192 --> 00:52:05.452 align:center
at a 24-hour donut shop in
La Sierra when he was attacked

00:52:05.445 --> 00:52:09.155 align:center
Yeah, I don't like fantasy shit either,
but this was actually pretty dope.

00:52:09.407 --> 00:52:12.407 align:center
It was like violence and
sex and stuff. I dunno.

00:52:13.620 --> 00:52:16.500 align:center
It's based on books, so
it seems pretty legit.

00:52:20.051 --> 00:52:22.761 align:center
Yeah, you too, man.
Yeah. Peace.

00:53:11.561 --> 00:53:15.361 align:center
Leo Deetz is found the next morning
with his heart removed from his body.

00:53:25.992 --> 00:53:29.912 align:center
A security guard sees Sykes exit the back
of the shop and tries to confront him,

00:53:29.913 --> 00:53:31.033 align:center
but Sykes flees.

00:53:32.165 --> 00:53:33.705 align:center
Honestly, I was just doing my job.

00:53:34.042 --> 00:53:36.672 align:center
I was wrapping up my rounds for
the evening here in this complex.

00:53:37.087 --> 00:53:38.917 align:center
I was going to take some donuts
home to me and the girlfriend.

00:53:39.464 --> 00:53:42.544 align:center
I saw a man leaving the shop
in a very, very weird mask.

00:53:43.093 --> 00:53:47.463 align:center
The guard still manages to grab his
license plate number and report it to the police.

00:53:47.597 --> 00:53:49.267 align:center
I'm just bummed I didn't
get the reward money.

00:53:49.724 --> 00:53:51.804 align:center
In the surveillance video
from the donut shop

00:53:51.810 --> 00:53:54.150 align:center
you could tell Sykes was
in pain from the dog bite.

00:53:54.312 --> 00:53:56.112 align:center
He's unfocused and unprepared.

00:53:56.273 --> 00:53:59.433 align:center
Then he's forced to ditch his car
after it's reported by the guard,

00:53:59.442 --> 00:54:03.532 align:center
which we find abandoned near
the 91 and 215 interchange.

00:54:03.905 --> 00:54:07.825 align:center
The more desperate Sykes became, the
more likely he was to make a mistake.

00:54:08.827 --> 00:54:10.037 align:center
That was the hope.

00:54:10.829 --> 00:54:13.459 align:center
We kind of hit a brick wall
digging into Sykes past.

00:54:13.707 --> 00:54:16.667 align:center
He just vanished into thin air after 91.

00:54:17.419 --> 00:54:21.049 align:center
That's when we realized it's
because he wasn't in the country.

00:54:21.798 --> 00:54:24.548 align:center
Turns out Sykes had used his
late ex-wife's credit card

00:54:24.551 --> 00:54:28.101 align:center
to purchase a one-way ticket
to - of all places

00:54:28.888 --> 00:54:29.928 align:center
Jerusalem.

00:54:30.807 --> 00:54:33.267 align:center
I know. What the F, right?

00:54:33.810 --> 00:54:38.020 align:center
I mean, we were just baffled and we also
realized this was beyond the scope of our

00:54:38.023 --> 00:54:41.603 align:center
resources, so we reached out to
the FBI and asked for their help.

00:54:42.027 --> 00:54:46.237 align:center
They in turn got in contact with Interpol
and a whole side investigation got

00:54:46.239 --> 00:54:48.909 align:center
underway trying to find out
what Sykes was doing over there.

00:54:50.243 --> 00:54:55.123 align:center
What was found out was... let's just
say it didn't clear anything up.

00:54:55.832 --> 00:54:58.212 align:center
Sykes flies to Jerusalem in 96,

00:54:58.209 --> 00:55:03.009 align:center
not long after the murder of Noah LaFone,
and then evidently passes into Syria.

00:55:03.757 --> 00:55:06.177 align:center
The information here is sketchy at best,

00:55:06.343 --> 00:55:09.253 align:center
but apparently Sykes was living
in Northern Iraq for two years,

00:55:09.721 --> 00:55:13.441 align:center
but then flees after
Operation Desert Fox in 98.

00:55:13.683 --> 00:55:18.973 align:center
As far as we know, Sykes didn't speak
Arabic, but apparently he learned.

00:55:20.190 --> 00:55:24.150 align:center
Sykes then crosses the border into
Turkey and then into Italy in 2001.

00:55:24.819 --> 00:55:25.489 align:center
While there,

00:55:25.487 --> 00:55:29.697 align:center
he attends a museum exhibit on
Etruscan pottery in the city of Mantua

00:55:30.283 --> 00:55:33.613 align:center
and gets into some sort of
altercation and is arrested.

00:55:35.121 --> 00:55:37.961 align:center
I don't know what Sykes is doing
looking at Etruscan pottery,

00:55:37.957 --> 00:55:42.087 align:center
but he doesn't stay in Italy long
before moving on to Germany in 2003,

00:55:42.545 --> 00:55:44.795 align:center
and that's where we learned of
someone who claims to have

00:55:44.798 --> 00:55:46.388 align:center
had direct contact with him there.

00:55:47.050 --> 00:55:50.390 align:center
I met Mr. Sykes when I
was living in Xanten.

00:55:51.721 --> 00:55:56.101 align:center
He contacted me through
the internet about several

00:55:56.101 --> 00:55:58.021 align:center
books that I was selling.

00:55:58.269 --> 00:56:02.069 align:center
Specifically, he was looking to
buy my copy of a printed

00:56:03.358 --> 00:56:05.278 align:center
work from the late Middle ages,

00:56:05.485 --> 00:56:08.405 align:center
a manuscript known as
“The Scriptures of Valeel”

00:56:09.280 --> 00:56:10.910 align:center
It's a very valuable book.

00:56:11.074 --> 00:56:14.364 align:center
Only half a dozen copies
or something still exist.

00:56:14.953 --> 00:56:16.113 align:center
What is the book about?

00:56:17.038 --> 00:56:20.418 align:center
It's a book of spells,
basically. Witchcraft.

00:56:20.959 --> 00:56:21.959 align:center
And he bought it off you?

00:56:22.752 --> 00:56:25.092 align:center
Well, wanted to buy it off
me, but I wasn't selling.

00:56:26.089 --> 00:56:30.469 align:center
I don't know if he was for real or
not, but he offered some wild prices.

00:56:30.802 --> 00:56:35.562 align:center
100...150,000 Euro. The guy
kind of creeped me out, to be honest.

00:56:38.059 --> 00:56:42.019 align:center
So when my shop was vandalized a couple
of days later and the book was gone,

00:56:42.021 --> 00:56:43.821 align:center
I immediately knew who did it.

00:56:44.899 --> 00:56:48.609 align:center
To know that I came that close
in contact with a serial killer.

00:56:50.029 --> 00:56:53.199 align:center
The thing that gets me more than anything
else though is what the hell happened

00:56:53.199 --> 00:56:54.329 align:center
to that book?

00:56:55.326 --> 00:57:00.286 align:center
We had hoped maybe that Sykes would
be deterred by how bungled the last

00:57:00.290 --> 00:57:03.250 align:center
few attacks had been. We
didn't think he would stop,

00:57:03.418 --> 00:57:06.588 align:center
but maybe just slow down long
enough for us to find him.

00:57:07.881 --> 00:57:10.801 align:center
If anything, it must have
reinvigorated his cause.

00:57:11.176 --> 00:57:13.796 align:center
Get in the fucking car, Cody.
This is not our issue.

00:57:13.803 --> 00:57:14.963 align:center
We can't just leave him.

00:57:14.971 --> 00:57:17.771 align:center
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is not our problem. I'm leaving.

00:57:17.899 --> 00:57:19.319 align:center
Emily, wait!

00:57:28.743 --> 00:57:29.823 align:center
Holy shit.

00:57:32.998 --> 00:57:34.418 align:center
This is fucking crazy.

00:57:46.428 --> 00:57:48.218 align:center
The victim was Saroj Mallick,

00:57:48.221 --> 00:57:52.641 align:center
the security guard that saw Sykes behind
the donut shop and reported his plate to police.

00:57:53.184 --> 00:57:54.894 align:center
After leaving work on April second,

00:57:54.894 --> 00:57:58.184 align:center
he was supposed to meet his girlfriend
at a bar at 8:30, but never shows.

00:57:58.189 --> 00:58:01.649 align:center
He doesn't show up for work the next
day either, and his cell phone is off.

00:58:02.360 --> 00:58:05.410 align:center
Although his co-workers are a little
concerned, nothing's reported to police...

00:58:06.364 --> 00:58:09.404 align:center
I guess he had a habit of just blowing
out to Vegas for the weekend

00:58:09.409 --> 00:58:10.949 align:center
without telling anybody.

00:58:11.536 --> 00:58:12.996 align:center
But he didn't go to Vegas.

00:58:14.205 --> 00:58:17.875 align:center
The following day he's found hung
from a public playground swing set.

00:58:18.668 --> 00:58:23.008 align:center
“Displayed” is the word.
It was a form of torture

00:58:23.006 --> 00:58:26.086 align:center
the ancient Vikings used
to use called “Blood Eagle”.

00:58:27.218 --> 00:58:28.848 align:center
The flesh of the back is cut open,

00:58:29.596 --> 00:58:33.556 align:center
the ribs are bent back, then
both lungs are pulled out.

00:58:34.517 --> 00:58:38.517 align:center
The mutilation resembles,
yeah - you guessed it. Wings.

00:58:38.772 --> 00:58:39.902 align:center
Blood eagle.

00:58:40.315 --> 00:58:42.735 align:center
It was clearly done
for dramatic effect.

00:58:43.485 --> 00:58:46.865 align:center
When the fire department is getting
his body down, they find the CD.

00:59:14.974 --> 00:59:15.804 align:center
Oh fuck.

00:59:18.436 --> 00:59:21.526 align:center
Hello? Hello!

00:59:22.690 --> 00:59:24.070 align:center
Anybody, help!

00:59:26.945 --> 00:59:27.775 align:center
Hello!

00:59:32.742 --> 00:59:33.752 align:center
Let me out of here!

00:59:36.871 --> 00:59:40.711 align:center
Okay. Whoa, whoa, stop.
Please. No. Oh shit. No!

00:59:49.259 --> 00:59:51.679 align:center
Please stop! Please stop! Please stop!

00:59:54.514 --> 00:59:56.594 align:center
I have been selected because
of my direct actions.

00:59:58.309 --> 01:00:01.479 align:center
I should not have interfered with
the great one's plan and

01:00:01.479 --> 01:00:06.739 align:center
for my blasphemies,
I will be put into transit.

01:00:07.485 --> 01:00:08.905 align:center
Hello!

01:00:12.198 --> 01:00:13.028 align:center
Hello.

01:00:17.328 --> 01:00:21.748 align:center
He wanted us to know he was punishing
this guy for trying to stop him.

01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:25.800 align:center
He was saying stay out of his
way or else. He was saying

01:00:26.963 --> 01:00:29.003 align:center
this is your fault, not mine.

01:00:31.176 --> 01:00:33.136 align:center
You can't actually feel responsible
for any of the deaths.

01:00:33.928 --> 01:00:35.268 align:center
Oh, but I do.

01:00:36.764 --> 01:00:39.974 align:center
No, I'll carry his death and all of their
deaths on my conscience

01:00:39.976 --> 01:00:41.396 align:center
until the day I leave this planet.

01:00:42.937 --> 01:00:46.567 align:center
After the Malik murder, a lot less
tips came in. People were afraid.

01:00:47.442 --> 01:00:48.992 align:center
I guess they had every right to be.

01:00:50.069 --> 01:00:52.569 align:center
We picked apart Sykes’ house
with a fine tooth comb

01:00:52.572 --> 01:00:54.662 align:center
and found almost nothing useful at all.

01:00:55.158 --> 01:00:58.578 align:center
We excavated parts of the backyard.
There was nothing but dirt.

01:00:59.629 --> 01:01:02.219 align:center
We knew Sykes used
Presto brand toothpaste.

01:01:02.590 --> 01:01:07.220 align:center
The one DVD he owned was season two of
“Meet the Fur Balls” and his favorite drink

01:01:07.220 --> 01:01:11.730 align:center
was two percent milk. Yikes.
He ate there, he slept there,

01:01:11.850 --> 01:01:15.020 align:center
but it didn't seem like he lived
there. It was like a front,

01:01:15.478 --> 01:01:17.518 align:center
it was like a show
being put on to pretend

01:01:17.522 --> 01:01:19.822 align:center
the person that lived
there was vaguely normal.

01:01:21.151 --> 01:01:24.491 align:center
After a long day of chasing
some leads that went nowhere.

01:01:25.822 --> 01:01:28.492 align:center
I went to the backyard of Sykes’
house to get some fresh air.

01:01:29.909 --> 01:01:32.869 align:center
I think I was hoping I'd have
some transcendent moment

01:01:33.079 --> 01:01:36.469 align:center
a lot of profilers talk about when you
enter the headspace of the killer and you

01:01:36.466 --> 01:01:38.176 align:center
start to think like them.

01:01:39.261 --> 01:01:40.811 align:center
That never happened.

01:01:41.263 --> 01:01:42.593 align:center
None of it made any sense to me.

01:01:44.182 --> 01:01:49.022 align:center
So it's like two in the morning
and I'm just zoning out,

01:01:49.020 --> 01:01:50.520 align:center
looking up at the stars

01:01:52.274 --> 01:01:58.314 align:center
and then I remember that telescope
that we pulled Sykes’ prints from.

01:02:00.282 --> 01:02:02.662 align:center
What stars was Leslie Sykes’ looking at?

01:02:03.577 --> 01:02:07.077 align:center
The area in the sky that Leslie Sykes
had his telescope pointed at was

01:02:07.289 --> 01:02:08.749 align:center
interesting for two reasons.

01:02:08.748 --> 01:02:13.008 align:center
First, he was looking at Ophiuchus. Now, most
people haven't even heard of Ophiuchus.

01:02:13.211 --> 01:02:17.801 align:center
It's one of the 13 major constellations
along the ecliptic smack in between

01:02:18.216 --> 01:02:23.176 align:center
Scorpius and Sagittarius. It's also
called the so-called “13th zodiac sign”,

01:02:23.555 --> 01:02:26.345 align:center
although that's getting into
astrology and not hard science.

01:02:26.892 --> 01:02:29.612 align:center
My wife would kill me for
explaining it that way.

01:02:29.978 --> 01:02:33.438 align:center
The ancient Greeks were the ones that
named all the constellations as we know

01:02:33.440 --> 01:02:37.280 align:center
them today. Pisces is a fish,
Taurus is a bull, et cetera.

01:02:37.819 --> 01:02:40.239 align:center
Ophiuchus is the serpent bearer,

01:02:40.864 --> 01:02:43.194 align:center
a man battling a giant snake.

01:02:43.825 --> 01:02:48.325 align:center
Reason I mention Ophiuchus is because a
rare celestial event was taking place in

01:02:48.330 --> 01:02:50.670 align:center
its constellation
borders that exact month.

01:02:51.166 --> 01:02:53.376 align:center
A planetary alignment where Mercury,

01:02:53.501 --> 01:02:58.221 align:center
Jupiter and Saturn come in earshot of
each other in a way that happens once

01:02:58.215 --> 01:03:02.255 align:center
every 800 years or so. This is a
real thing. You can look it up.

01:03:02.260 --> 01:03:06.100 align:center
May 13th, 2011 - you could
view it with the naked eye,

01:03:06.556 --> 01:03:09.806 align:center
but only for a few hours,
which is why it's so special.

01:03:11.061 --> 01:03:11.901 align:center
The symbol.

01:03:13.355 --> 01:03:14.855 align:center
A leech bite.

01:03:16.900 --> 01:03:19.570 align:center
Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn.

01:03:20.487 --> 01:03:23.777 align:center
A rare planetary alignment
that was only a few weeks away.

01:03:25.492 --> 01:03:27.202 align:center
So is this all one big coincidence?

01:03:28.703 --> 01:03:31.863 align:center
One thing that they really drill into your
brain at the academy is that the human

01:03:31.873 --> 01:03:36.373 align:center
mind is very adept at finding patterns
in things, even if they aren't there.

01:03:37.504 --> 01:03:40.044 align:center
They tell you to watch out for
it - to not get carried away.

01:03:40.257 --> 01:03:41.887 align:center
To remember Occam's razor.

01:03:42.717 --> 01:03:46.057 align:center
The simplest explanation
is usually the correct one,

01:03:48.431 --> 01:03:51.231 align:center
but sometimes it's actually the strangest.

01:03:52.769 --> 01:03:56.649 align:center
We had brought in these big halogen lights
to Sykes’ house because the place was

01:03:56.648 --> 01:04:00.448 align:center
so dark at night, but as soon as
we turned it on, it blew a fuse.

01:04:00.819 --> 01:04:04.869 align:center
So one of the deputies is trying to reset
the breaker and realizes the sub-panel

01:04:04.864 --> 01:04:08.194 align:center
in the closet wasn't working.
As he's messing with it,

01:04:08.410 --> 01:04:12.040 align:center
the whole thing just comes out of the
wall. Like everything in that house

01:04:12.247 --> 01:04:16.087 align:center
it was a fake. Behind it, there
was a space with a lockbox.

01:04:16.918 --> 01:04:20.298 align:center
Of course, we cleared the house
and called the bomb squad just in case.

01:04:20.297 --> 01:04:22.467 align:center
They used one of those
little robots and everything.

01:04:22.966 --> 01:04:26.256 align:center
No bomb. That didn't seem
like his style, anyway.

01:04:26.594 --> 01:04:28.174 align:center
The box was just a cheapo,

01:04:28.179 --> 01:04:32.809 align:center
we just pried it open with a crowbar.
And inside just two things:

01:04:33.393 --> 01:04:36.933 align:center
Leslie Sykes’ passport expired from 2003

01:04:38.189 --> 01:04:40.569 align:center
and a key with an attached key chain.

01:04:46.364 --> 01:04:48.864 align:center
We drove over there straight away
and went inside the unit.

01:04:49.868 --> 01:04:51.828 align:center
In retrospect, it was pretty stupid of us.

01:04:51.828 --> 01:04:55.168 align:center
I mean, the thing could have been booby trapped
or he could have been waiting in there for us.

01:04:55.582 --> 01:04:56.342 align:center
Who knows?

01:04:57.208 --> 01:04:58.668 align:center
But it felt like we'd run out of time.

01:04:59.794 --> 01:05:01.124 align:center
We just got lucky.

01:05:01.463 --> 01:05:03.173 align:center
Everywhere my light
goes, you go. Okay?

01:05:03.715 --> 01:05:07.755 align:center
Jackpot, winning-lotto-ticket,
royal flush lucky.

01:05:22.233 --> 01:05:23.983 align:center
Here's why we never get fingerprints.

01:05:24.402 --> 01:05:27.242 align:center
The guy wears a full on hazmat suit.

01:05:27.739 --> 01:05:32.249 align:center
This is the mold we believe for
the mask that he's been seen in.

01:05:33.536 --> 01:05:37.746 align:center
Yeah, this guy's big into
space. Over here. Real big.

01:05:38.958 --> 01:05:40.458 align:center
Carl Sagan, eat your heart out.

01:05:42.087 --> 01:05:43.917 align:center
Oh, you got to check this out. This is...

01:05:46.174 --> 01:05:49.044 align:center
early childhood reading for late night.

01:05:49.177 --> 01:05:51.427 align:center
“Celestial Witchcraft
of Early England.”

01:05:54.682 --> 01:05:58.522 align:center
This right here we think is
Dennis Zhao’s tongue, right?

01:05:58.520 --> 01:06:00.440 align:center
Unless he's cut out other tongues.

01:06:01.856 --> 01:06:03.776 align:center
This hair is Victoria Macenroe.

01:06:03.775 --> 01:06:07.945 align:center
We think it is because we
watched her hair get cut off

01:06:07.946 --> 01:06:09.776 align:center
and that is Saroj Mallick.

01:06:12.992 --> 01:06:14.502 align:center
He's been here recently.

01:06:14.494 --> 01:06:15.074 align:center
Yeah.

01:06:17.414 --> 01:06:20.744 align:center
Over here is what we
think is Sheridan's blood.

01:06:24.129 --> 01:06:25.129 align:center
Check this shit up here.

01:06:27.132 --> 01:06:29.222 align:center
“Hail Azragor”

01:06:31.553 --> 01:06:35.223 align:center
And then this weird altar.

01:06:37.025 --> 01:06:38.195 align:center
Is this Azragor?

01:06:38.860 --> 01:06:40.700 align:center
Have you ever heard of Azragor?

01:06:41.196 --> 01:06:42.316 align:center
Azragor... no.

01:06:42.948 --> 01:06:44.198 align:center
How about Kaliban?

01:06:45.325 --> 01:06:46.495 align:center
Like in Shakespeare?

01:06:47.661 --> 01:06:51.631 align:center
“The Thorn of Time” sounds familiar.
I've heard that. Where have I heard that?

01:06:52.249 --> 01:06:56.709 align:center
This is a pre-cuneiform, so it's
all very cryptic, but here

01:06:57.462 --> 01:07:02.592 align:center
“Et El Groth Gulka
Levesque Kertubu”

01:07:04.094 --> 01:07:11.394 align:center
“The Temple of the Outer Gate
beyond the Thorn of Time”

01:07:12.102 --> 01:07:15.022 align:center
“Kertubu” I've heard
before. That means...

01:07:18.108 --> 01:07:18.988 align:center
Crowning.

01:07:20.819 --> 01:07:22.029 align:center
Coronation.

01:07:24.489 --> 01:07:26.949 align:center
Whereas before we had little
to no evidence to go on,

01:07:27.534 --> 01:07:29.404 align:center
we now had way too much.

01:07:29.869 --> 01:07:32.539 align:center
Sykes had collected tons of
information on each of his victims,

01:07:32.664 --> 01:07:35.834 align:center
had them all in a filing cabinet.
Criminal history, medical records,

01:07:36.126 --> 01:07:38.246 align:center
information the public
does not have access to,

01:07:38.253 --> 01:07:41.003 align:center
so he must have been paying off
cops or private investigators,

01:07:41.464 --> 01:07:45.634 align:center
and every murder had been meticulously
documented. There were photos, drawings,

01:07:45.635 --> 01:07:49.725 align:center
hundreds of handwritten pages
by Sykes with his ramblings,

01:07:50.098 --> 01:07:52.308 align:center
a pure window into a man's madness.

01:07:53.310 --> 01:07:55.770 align:center
We were pulling all-nighters
in that horrible space.

01:07:56.396 --> 01:07:59.686 align:center
Even after the bodies were
removed, the smell never went away.

01:08:00.233 --> 01:08:01.523 align:center
We were going crazy.

01:08:02.694 --> 01:08:05.654 align:center
On May 8th, the manager of the
place comes looking for us.

01:08:05.655 --> 01:08:07.825 align:center
Someone sent mail to the office for us.

01:08:08.783 --> 01:08:09.823 align:center
It was another letter.

01:08:13.413 --> 01:08:16.163 align:center
The Great Lord of the Threshold
has arrived at the gate.

01:08:17.125 --> 01:08:20.705 align:center
The Great Recification,
The Final Extirpation!

01:08:21.921 --> 01:08:23.261 align:center
The dawn of Kaliban.

01:08:24.716 --> 01:08:27.256 align:center
One left for me, then he’s set free.

01:08:29.804 --> 01:08:31.924 align:center
911 emergency.
How can I direct your call?

01:08:32.223 --> 01:08:32.843 align:center
Hello?

01:08:33.308 --> 01:08:33.938 align:center
Help me.

01:08:34.476 --> 01:08:35.976 align:center
Ma’am, do you need police or -

01:08:35.977 --> 01:08:36.607 align:center
Help.

01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:37.939 align:center
Ma’am?

01:08:44.235 --> 01:08:45.815 align:center
Around midnight on May 12th,

01:08:46.654 --> 01:08:51.234 align:center
Sykes breaks into the home of Glen and
Stephanie Courtland via a garage window

01:08:51.242 --> 01:08:54.212 align:center
and abducts their three
month old baby, Sawyer.

01:09:31.699 --> 01:09:34.699 align:center
He could have killed that child
in his crib right then and there,

01:09:35.328 --> 01:09:38.878 align:center
but he was waiting. I mean, he was
deliberately waiting for something,

01:09:40.291 --> 01:09:41.131 align:center
But what?

01:09:41.259 --> 01:09:44.059 align:center
We had no idea where Sykes was
going or what his plan was,

01:09:44.179 --> 01:09:47.929 align:center
but it didn't seem like a coincidence
that the triangle in the sky

01:09:47.933 --> 01:09:50.223 align:center
was supposed to appear that morning.

01:09:50.977 --> 01:09:52.267 align:center
That was a Friday, by the way,

01:09:53.063 --> 01:09:54.353 align:center
the 13th.

01:09:55.649 --> 01:09:56.689 align:center
Coincidence, right?

01:09:59.027 --> 01:10:04.027 align:center
I am just getting to work. It's
around 3:00 AM and let's see.

01:10:04.491 --> 01:10:09.541 align:center
Okay, right here, right here. Not 20 feet
from where I found that woman's body.

01:10:10.497 --> 01:10:15.417 align:center
I see this red SUV parked. The vehicle
is empty. I just got a weird vibe,

01:10:16.086 --> 01:10:16.956 align:center
so I called it in.

01:10:17.420 --> 01:10:22.220 align:center
I immediately got a reply that the
automobile has been stolen and that the

01:10:22.217 --> 01:10:25.387 align:center
driver is armed and dangerous.

01:10:26.930 --> 01:10:30.850 align:center
I watch the news closely and
I was like, is this Mr. Shiny?

01:10:30.976 --> 01:10:32.556 align:center
They found Sykes’ SUV,

01:10:33.687 --> 01:10:36.437 align:center
right in the spot of the
very first murder in 93.

01:10:37.190 --> 01:10:42.030 align:center
He ran out of gas right there of
all places. What are the odds?

01:10:44.030 --> 01:10:49.830 align:center
This three planet alignment was going
to be visible between 6 and 6:30 AM.

01:10:50.328 --> 01:10:53.628 align:center
I mean, that gave us just a matter of hours
to find Sykes and baby Sawyer.

01:10:54.165 --> 01:10:56.245 align:center
One way or another, this
thing was gonna end.

01:11:06.928 --> 01:11:10.558 align:center
...like Osama Bin Laden? That's the
first thing... that's a pretty believable

01:11:11.391 --> 01:11:15.351 align:center
thing that he died.
I dunno. I believe those -

01:11:15.353 --> 01:11:16.603 align:center
Do you want a marshmallow?

01:11:16.604 --> 01:11:17.224 align:center
Ready...

01:11:17.230 --> 01:11:18.900 align:center
Yeah I want a marshmellow.

01:11:18.898 --> 01:11:19.858 align:center
Made the sm’ores.

01:11:21.484 --> 01:11:22.644 align:center
Extra gooey.

01:11:24.529 --> 01:11:26.029 align:center
This is disgusting, I'm so sorry.

01:11:27.407 --> 01:11:29.367 align:center
We all went to UC Riverside together,

01:11:29.367 --> 01:11:31.997 align:center
but I was moving out of
state for my master's degree,

01:11:32.203 --> 01:11:35.703 align:center
so it was sort of a last
hurrah with the girls.

01:11:36.499 --> 01:11:39.919 align:center
We didn't even know that thing
with the planets was even happening.

01:11:40.962 --> 01:11:42.842 align:center
I think we're just
getting old, dude.

01:11:44.090 --> 01:11:45.430 align:center
Old ass hoes for life.

01:11:57.062 --> 01:12:00.402 align:center
We had units coming in from
Arrowhead, Crestline, even Big Bear,

01:12:00.398 --> 01:12:03.238 align:center
but they were spread out all over
the place. If Sykes was on foot,

01:12:03.234 --> 01:12:05.774 align:center
he could only get so far, but we
still needed a lot of manpower.

01:12:06.363 --> 01:12:09.983 align:center
Best we could do in that
first hour was two cars. Two.

01:12:11.993 --> 01:12:13.823 align:center
That park is almost a million acres.

01:12:17.207 --> 01:12:20.747 align:center
When we were on the way out there,
you know, I was actually excited.

01:12:21.628 --> 01:12:22.458 align:center
Why?

01:12:23.046 --> 01:12:27.176 align:center
Because Sykes was the boogeyman
of Berdo. Even the FBI was after him.

01:12:27.759 --> 01:12:31.559 align:center
If we were the arresting
officers, that would be huge.

01:12:34.682 --> 01:12:36.022 align:center
So fucking stupid.

01:12:38.103 --> 01:12:40.893 align:center
They started going from
campsite to campsite in a grid.

01:12:41.106 --> 01:12:45.146 align:center
Every tent, RV, porta-potty out there -
they were shining a light into it.

01:12:47.445 --> 01:12:48.275 align:center
Whose in there with you?

01:12:48.696 --> 01:12:49.736 align:center
It's just my daughter.

01:12:50.907 --> 01:12:55.287 align:center
Nobody was being cooperative or wanted
to talk to us, but who would be?

01:12:55.453 --> 01:12:56.413 align:center
Anybody else here with you?

01:12:56.871 --> 01:12:57.371 align:center
No.

01:12:57.705 --> 01:13:00.335 align:center
Imagine you're asleep in your tent
and a cop shines a light in your face.

01:13:01.167 --> 01:13:01.997 align:center
I'd be pissed too.

01:13:02.877 --> 01:13:05.837 align:center
You see anything suspicious
tonight? You see a man with a baby.

01:13:07.424 --> 01:13:08.254 align:center
Baby?

01:13:08.716 --> 01:13:10.426 align:center
It was a clusterfuck.

01:13:10.427 --> 01:13:13.467 align:center
Heavy brush, too dark.
Lots of places to hide.

01:13:13.721 --> 01:13:17.561 align:center
Even now, GPS maps in that kind
of area just aren't that reliable.

01:13:17.976 --> 01:13:22.316 align:center
Neither are cell phones, but luckily
some places still had landlines.

01:13:25.108 --> 01:13:26.858 align:center
What is your emergency, please?

01:13:27.569 --> 01:13:29.029 align:center
My name is Silvia Vallejo

01:13:29.654 --> 01:13:32.404 align:center
Some crazy guy broke into
our place where we’re renting.

01:13:33.241 --> 01:13:35.951 align:center
My husband is still inside with
him, please send somebody...

01:13:36.703 --> 01:13:40.873 align:center
There's a property out there where you
can rent these individual cabins for the night.

01:13:41.216 --> 01:13:45.346 align:center
Sykes forces his way inside one of these
cabins where Martin and Silvia Vallejo

01:13:45.345 --> 01:13:47.845 align:center
are staying. It's about 4 o'clock
in the morning at this point.

01:13:48.390 --> 01:13:49.640 align:center
He's able to subdue Martin,

01:13:50.558 --> 01:13:54.268 align:center
but Silvia gets away and calls
911 at the cabin next door.

01:14:01.653 --> 01:14:02.773 align:center
Did you make the call, ma'am?

01:14:02.988 --> 01:14:04.488 align:center
Yes. He's in there with my husband.

01:14:04.948 --> 01:14:05.778 align:center
Where's the cabin?

01:14:05.782 --> 01:14:08.042 align:center
Third cabin on the right. Please help him.

01:14:08.368 --> 01:14:09.038 align:center
Stay here.

01:14:09.035 --> 01:14:11.245 align:center
He has a child. There's a baby with him.

01:14:11.371 --> 01:14:12.041 align:center
Stay here.

01:14:12.038 --> 01:14:16.918 align:center
The two closest units arrived at the cabin
around 4:50 AM. Backup was on the way,

01:14:16.918 --> 01:14:19.718 align:center
but ended up getting lost and
wouldn't get there for over an hour.

01:14:21.089 --> 01:14:23.889 align:center
These guys had no idea what
they might be walking into.

01:14:39.941 --> 01:14:40.901 align:center
I got the front door.

01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:49.999 align:center
Clear.

01:14:57.459 --> 01:14:58.549 align:center
Alright, it's clear.

01:14:58.835 --> 01:14:59.545 align:center
Standby.

01:15:00.503 --> 01:15:04.623 align:center
The place was deserted.
Extremely bad vibes.

01:15:06.593 --> 01:15:07.423 align:center
You seeing this?

01:15:10.096 --> 01:15:12.516 align:center
I think that's when I
started to get scared.

01:15:15.769 --> 01:15:17.059 align:center
Then we found Mr. Vallejo.

01:15:18.605 --> 01:15:19.435 align:center
Looks like a bedroom.

01:15:23.234 --> 01:15:24.144 align:center
We got a suspect.

01:15:24.277 --> 01:15:25.397 align:center
We got a suspect!

01:15:25.403 --> 01:15:26.523 align:center
Let me see your hands!

01:15:27.238 --> 01:15:28.278 align:center
Hands! Hands!

01:15:30.658 --> 01:15:31.198 align:center
Moving up.

01:15:31.201 --> 01:15:33.581 align:center
It looks like he’s duct taped...
with his hands.

01:15:34.954 --> 01:15:35.954 align:center
What the fuck.

01:15:35.955 --> 01:15:36.955 align:center
That’s a drill.

01:15:38.500 --> 01:15:39.130 align:center
I got him, I got him.

01:15:39.125 --> 01:15:39.835 align:center
Pull off the mask.

01:15:40.919 --> 01:15:41.679 align:center
Oh my god.

01:15:41.678 --> 01:15:42.098 align:center
He’s injured.

01:15:42.095 --> 01:15:43.135 align:center
God, get medical out here!

01:15:45.098 --> 01:15:50.558 align:center
Sykes essentially lobotomizes the man.
Leaves the body to be found like that.

01:15:56.276 --> 01:15:57.776 align:center
It was just bad, bro.

01:15:59.905 --> 01:16:01.405 align:center
I don't know what else to say.

01:16:01.823 --> 01:16:05.653 align:center
An empty glass is found on the kitchen
counter with remnants of milk from the fridge

01:16:05.660 --> 01:16:08.920 align:center
and Sawyer's dirty diaper
is thrown in the garbage.

01:16:09.247 --> 01:16:11.247 align:center
Even then, he was still
taking care of the baby.

01:16:13.210 --> 01:16:16.220 align:center
After this pit stop he
leaves into the woods.

01:16:21.760 --> 01:16:23.140 align:center
What’s the ETA on RA unit, over.

01:16:25.180 --> 01:16:25.890 align:center
What the hell was that?

01:16:30.518 --> 01:16:31.808 align:center
We should go check it out.

01:16:31.811 --> 01:16:33.231 align:center
Shouldn’t we wait for backup?

01:16:33.230 --> 01:16:34.190 align:center
Dude, he's got a baby.

01:16:34.439 --> 01:16:38.319 align:center
I didn't even want to go, but it was
a baby, right? What would you do?

01:16:39.819 --> 01:16:40.949 align:center
Imagine that's your kid,

01:16:44.074 --> 01:16:47.034 align:center
But I should have said no.
I should have waited at the car.

01:16:50.413 --> 01:16:52.993 align:center
If that makes me a coward,
I don't give a shit.

01:17:20.443 --> 01:17:21.103 align:center
Shit.

01:17:22.862 --> 01:17:23.702 align:center
You hear that?

01:17:28.576 --> 01:17:30.496 align:center
He was doing witchcraft
out there, man.

01:17:32.706 --> 01:17:33.786 align:center
You saw the video.

01:17:34.541 --> 01:17:35.541 align:center
What else would you call it?

01:17:39.629 --> 01:17:41.089 align:center
Joe, what fuck is this, man?

01:17:52.017 --> 01:17:53.227 align:center
Where the fuck’s the shooter!

01:18:49.949 --> 01:18:51.409 align:center
Just one more.

01:18:53.578 --> 01:18:57.328 align:center
I didn't understand at the time what
exactly that wood thing was, but

01:18:59.042 --> 01:19:01.722 align:center
I found out they have
a name for it.

01:19:01.720 --> 01:19:02.930 align:center
A pyre.

01:19:04.514 --> 01:19:06.304 align:center
That's where the crying
was coming from.

01:19:10.687 --> 01:19:11.517 align:center
Sykes.

01:19:22.449 --> 01:19:23.289 align:center
Fuck.

01:19:29.623 --> 01:19:33.293 align:center
I don't know what
we saw or didn't see.

01:19:34.920 --> 01:19:36.300 align:center
It was strange.

01:19:36.630 --> 01:19:38.510 align:center
If you looked at it from one angle,

01:19:38.506 --> 01:19:41.046 align:center
you could see it. From
another, it wasn't as clear.

01:19:41.718 --> 01:19:43.558 align:center
The videos don't do it justice at all.

01:19:44.179 --> 01:19:47.229 align:center
I'm still not convinced any of
the, what do you call it?

01:19:47.224 --> 01:19:48.344 align:center
Karmic phenomena.

01:19:48.558 --> 01:19:49.978 align:center
“Cosmic” phenomena.

01:19:49.976 --> 01:19:51.226 align:center
Cosmic phenomena.

01:19:51.394 --> 01:19:53.684 align:center
I mean, sky looked weird that
morning, no doubt about that.

01:19:53.688 --> 01:19:56.608 align:center
But there's plenty of weird
stuff that happens in the sky.

01:19:57.400 --> 01:19:59.030 align:center
Aurora Borealis.

01:20:00.070 --> 01:20:01.780 align:center
That looks totally different.

01:20:02.614 --> 01:20:06.364 align:center
Okay, but you can't tell me that's not
some weird looking space stuff too, right?

01:20:07.118 --> 01:20:12.078 align:center
I don't remember much. It gets
hazy. So that thing in the sky,

01:20:14.251 --> 01:20:16.131 align:center
it looked like red eyes.

01:20:17.295 --> 01:20:18.505 align:center
Jeez, dude.

01:20:19.464 --> 01:20:20.294 align:center
Holy shit.

01:20:21.049 --> 01:20:22.929 align:center
What the fuck.

01:20:27.013 --> 01:20:28.423 align:center
What the fuck is that?

01:20:32.152 --> 01:20:32.992 align:center
Lizzy?

01:20:34.196 --> 01:20:35.026 align:center
Lizzy?

01:20:35.447 --> 01:20:36.277 align:center
What’s going on?

01:20:39.826 --> 01:20:40.656 align:center
Liz?

01:20:46.792 --> 01:20:49.302 align:center
Kate, wake up. I need you
to call 911. Kate, please.

01:21:16.530 --> 01:21:19.080 align:center
And just like that... it was over.

01:21:23.370 --> 01:21:24.750 align:center
We got him.

01:21:27.874 --> 01:21:29.834 align:center
Help's on the way.
Just stay there.

01:21:30.377 --> 01:21:31.127 align:center
How’s the baby?

01:21:31.753 --> 01:21:33.003 align:center
He’s okay.

01:21:33.421 --> 01:21:34.761 align:center
That was too god damn close.

01:21:36.424 --> 01:21:37.294 align:center
He's gone.

01:21:37.801 --> 01:21:38.511 align:center
What?

01:21:38.510 --> 01:21:39.930 align:center
We need some help over here.

01:21:39.928 --> 01:21:41.428 align:center
You got to be fucking kidding me.

01:21:45.892 --> 01:21:49.902 align:center
Leslie Sykes’ body was found about a
hundred yards from the cabin in a creek

01:21:53.108 --> 01:21:56.488 align:center
covered in leeches. He'd only been in
the water for a matter of minutes.

01:21:57.487 --> 01:21:59.027 align:center
It's like they were drawn to him.

01:21:59.531 --> 01:22:02.291 align:center
It made any kind of visual
identification impossible,

01:22:02.284 --> 01:22:05.154 align:center
but we still confirmed
it with fingerprint and DNA.

01:22:07.622 --> 01:22:10.672 align:center
It looks like Sykes have been living out
there for at least a couple of weeks,

01:22:11.418 --> 01:22:15.718 align:center
sleeping in a makeshift shelter and
stealing food from other people's campsites.

01:22:16.715 --> 01:22:19.335 align:center
His final time on this earth was spent

01:22:19.342 --> 01:22:22.262 align:center
hungry, cold and alone.

01:22:23.305 --> 01:22:25.475 align:center
No phantoms. No ghost.

01:22:26.558 --> 01:22:28.438 align:center
A flesh and blood human.

01:22:29.227 --> 01:22:32.397 align:center
A piece of shit human,
but human nonetheless.

01:22:51.208 --> 01:22:55.918 align:center
So I was getting up for work that
morning and I was checking my Facebook

01:22:56.213 --> 01:23:00.003 align:center
and I had all of these
messages and I was like what

01:23:00.217 --> 01:23:01.887 align:center
you know, what's going on here?

01:23:02.260 --> 01:23:03.850 align:center
And then I realized they got him.

01:23:07.182 --> 01:23:08.982 align:center
Like they really fucking got him.

01:23:12.979 --> 01:23:17.399 align:center
The Inland Empire can breathe a sigh of
relief with the news just coming in that

01:23:17.400 --> 01:23:19.860 align:center
the hunt for serial killer, Leslie Sykes,

01:23:20.278 --> 01:23:24.948 align:center
AKA Mr. Shiny, has
finally come to an end.

01:23:24.950 --> 01:23:29.120 align:center
Police shot and killed Sykes this morning
in a standoff in the San Bernardino mountains,

01:23:29.329 --> 01:23:33.539 align:center
but not before ending the life of
one Riverside Police Department Deputy.

01:23:36.211 --> 01:23:41.391 align:center
Richie... I don't want to talk about it.

01:23:45.645 --> 01:23:46.815 align:center
It should have been me.

01:23:48.398 --> 01:23:51.028 align:center
I'm here to formally
announce that Leslie Sykes,

01:23:51.943 --> 01:23:57.113 align:center
otherwise known as Mr. Shiny, died
this morning at approximately 6:00 AM

01:23:57.115 --> 01:24:01.745 align:center
Pacific Standard Time as a result of an
extended gun battle with local authorities.

01:24:03.997 --> 01:24:04.957 align:center
I couldn't believe it.

01:24:06.625 --> 01:24:12.965 align:center
Like all of this, this like, weight was just
lifted from my chest, you know?

01:24:15.592 --> 01:24:20.352 align:center
Like Shifra could finally rest in peace
because that fucking asshole was dead.

01:24:21.306 --> 01:24:23.766 align:center
I mean, nothing's ever going
to bring my girl back, but

01:24:25.227 --> 01:24:27.647 align:center
at least we can all start to heal now.

01:24:29.439 --> 01:24:32.689 align:center
I feel no joy in Leslie Sykes’ death.
I really don't.

01:24:33.193 --> 01:24:35.313 align:center
I did in the beginning,
but as time has gone on...

01:24:37.405 --> 01:24:39.025 align:center
I wish I could have interviewed him.

01:24:39.449 --> 01:24:41.369 align:center
I wish we could have got more information.

01:24:42.285 --> 01:24:45.495 align:center
In the time span that Sykes was
actively killing - that we know about -

01:24:45.497 --> 01:24:48.337 align:center
there were over 100 unsolved
homicides in the two counties.

01:24:48.875 --> 01:24:51.205 align:center
Could some of these be
Sykes? We'll never know.

01:24:51.878 --> 01:24:54.968 align:center
Is it possible Sykes had an accomplice?
Someone that helped him, funded him?

01:24:56.299 --> 01:24:57.389 align:center
We'll never know.

01:24:59.553 --> 01:25:01.093 align:center
He got off too easy if you ask me.

01:25:02.806 --> 01:25:04.936 align:center
Should have drawn and quartered
that motherfucker.

01:25:06.393 --> 01:25:07.893 align:center
Sorry, is that too much?

01:25:08.103 --> 01:25:09.893 align:center
No, that's actually perfect.

01:25:13.108 --> 01:25:14.438 align:center
Happy I could set the record straight.

01:25:19.156 --> 01:25:21.696 align:center
Oh, when we first found
out that they killed him,

01:25:24.411 --> 01:25:26.001 align:center
I guess it was bittersweet.

01:25:30.375 --> 01:25:32.125 align:center
I was just glad he
couldn't hurt anybody else.

01:25:33.378 --> 01:25:37.588 align:center
We try to keep Victoria's memory alive,
but it gets harder as time goes on.

01:25:40.343 --> 01:25:41.753 align:center
Friends lose interest.

01:25:45.015 --> 01:25:47.435 align:center
I think about that saying a lot that goes,

01:25:48.560 --> 01:25:51.980 align:center
“You really die the last time
someone says your name.”

01:25:51.980 --> 01:25:53.480 align:center
Honey, you already said this.

01:25:53.481 --> 01:25:56.861 align:center
I know, but it is just so true.

01:25:57.194 --> 01:25:58.194 align:center
Ted Bundy.

01:25:59.070 --> 01:25:59.780 align:center
Gacy.

01:26:00.155 --> 01:26:01.695 align:center
These guys will live forever

01:26:03.074 --> 01:26:06.034 align:center
and now so will Mr. Shiny.

01:26:07.204 --> 01:26:11.164 align:center
Eight victims were honored today at
a memorial held at Pioneer Memorial

01:26:11.333 --> 01:26:15.663 align:center
Cemetery, including those from
the original crimes in 1995.

01:26:15.837 --> 01:26:19.837 align:center
Almost a thousand people joined the service
to pay their respects to those lives

01:26:19.841 --> 01:26:23.391 align:center
taken two soon by serial
killer, Leslie Sykes.

01:26:24.763 --> 01:26:25.593 align:center
Lizzy.

01:26:26.264 --> 01:26:29.264 align:center
Lizzy - Kate. Kate, wake
up. I need you to call...

01:26:29.392 --> 01:26:31.812 align:center
So the lights on the sky triggerd a seizure?

01:26:33.563 --> 01:26:35.063 align:center
Great place to have your first one, right?

01:26:35.899 --> 01:26:37.489 align:center
Wait, you weren't epileptic before that?

01:26:38.318 --> 01:26:39.778 align:center
Started for the first time that night,

01:26:40.946 --> 01:26:43.486 align:center
and I wasn't the only one
who had bad luck either.

01:26:44.658 --> 01:26:49.408 align:center
Gail randomly started having
vertigo after that trip.

01:26:55.001 --> 01:26:59.681 align:center
So you know, you ask me if I
believe in ghosts and this

01:27:00.590 --> 01:27:02.470 align:center
paranormal stuff and I don't. But...

01:27:05.387 --> 01:27:06.637 align:center
No, I don't believe in that stuff.

01:27:07.597 --> 01:27:09.807 align:center
But I still wish we never
went camping that weekend.

01:27:11.476 --> 01:27:15.266 align:center
We moved to Portland. I know
it sounds superstitious,

01:27:15.272 --> 01:27:18.032 align:center
but it just seemed like that
whole county was cursed.

01:27:24.614 --> 01:27:26.154 align:center
What do you think
Leslie Sykes was up to?

01:27:27.075 --> 01:27:27.905 align:center
I have no idea.

01:27:29.035 --> 01:27:31.865 align:center
You must have theories. Come on,
people are going to want hear this.

01:27:32.289 --> 01:27:33.129 align:center
What do you want me to say?

01:27:33.790 --> 01:27:39.130 align:center
He was part of some apocalypse cult trying
to summon a six million year old leech god.

01:27:40.046 --> 01:27:43.216 align:center
The Thorn of Time. Kaliban...

01:27:44.009 --> 01:27:45.969 align:center
That's not something you put
in the police report, pal.

01:27:46.803 --> 01:27:51.263 align:center
That's not gonna help the families try
and bring closure and heal from this mess.

01:27:53.476 --> 01:27:55.106 align:center
What I can say for sure is this.

01:27:56.062 --> 01:28:01.242 align:center
Leslie Sykes was a monster and
we caught him and we killed him.

01:28:02.986 --> 01:28:04.526 align:center
What about his last letter?

01:28:06.531 --> 01:28:10.791 align:center
As Lexi likes to say,
“Same shit, different day.”

01:28:12.537 --> 01:28:14.077 align:center
Same shit.
Different day.

01:28:15.165 --> 01:28:16.665 align:center
Do you think it means anything?

01:28:17.792 --> 01:28:20.512 align:center
It’s post-dated two days
before he died.

01:28:21.129 --> 01:28:24.759 align:center
If he sent it, he must have had an
inkling things might not go to plan.

01:28:26.259 --> 01:28:27.799 align:center
What about what he says
at the end of the letter?

01:28:30.180 --> 01:28:34.480 align:center
Well, if it's true, I guess we'll
find out in another 800 years.

01:28:39.689 --> 01:28:43.029 align:center
Rejoice for I can now learn
the mysteries of the worm.

01:28:44.736 --> 01:28:46.736 align:center
The harvest season will return,

01:28:46.738 --> 01:28:48.828 align:center
the reaping will continue.

01:28:50.283 --> 01:28:51.113 align:center
I'll be back.

01:29:00.001 --> 01:29:03.211 align:center
There's still so many things we don't
understand about this case

01:29:03.213 --> 01:29:04.873 align:center
and probably never will.

01:29:07.050 --> 01:29:10.890 align:center
We just have bits and pieces
of some kind of strange puzzle,

01:29:12.097 --> 01:29:14.427 align:center
and even if we could
put them all together,

01:29:15.517 --> 01:29:17.897 align:center
I don't know if I want to see
whatever picture they make.

01:29:35.662 --> 01:29:38.922 align:center
Yeah, got what you need.
I think that's perfect.

01:29:41.468 --> 01:29:42.508 align:center
Okay. Awesome.

01:29:43.511 --> 01:29:44.851 align:center
Alright.
Thanks guys.

01:33:18.902 --> 01:33:23.282 align:center
Okay. August 23rd, 2023.
Back at Pinto again.

01:33:24.449 --> 01:33:28.749 align:center
Went a little further south this
time, but yeah, it's a bust.

01:33:30.121 --> 01:33:33.711 align:center
Something about this place just
doesn't, doesn't feel right.

01:33:34.501 --> 01:33:36.171 align:center
Talked to a guy at a gas station.

01:33:36.169 --> 01:33:41.219 align:center
He told me there's a series
of caves down at Cox comb,

01:33:41.925 --> 01:33:45.305 align:center
so we're going to try that
next. It's worth a shot.
