  26. 1:35sir I see so you went to this residence
  27. 1:39and what occurred
  28. 1:44I had get some thinking on what I was
  29. 1:49going to do to either missus apparel or
  30. 1:52Josephine and basically broke into the
  31. 1:56house or didn't break into the house but
  32. 1:58when they came out of the house I came
  33. 1:59in and confronted the family and then we
  34. 2:01went from there
  35. 2:02had you planned this beforehand just
  36. 2:06some degree yes I forgot in the house
  37. 2:09and lost control of it but it was you
  38. 2:13know back in my mind I had some ideas
  39. 2:15what I was going to do I just
  40. 2:18I basically panicked at the first day so
  41. 2:20beforehand did you know who was there in
  42. 2:23the house I thought mrs. Otero and the
  43. 2:26two kids the two younger kids were in
  44. 2:29the house I didn't realize mr O'Farrell
  45. 2:30is gonna be there all right how did you
  46. 2:33get into the house I kept in the back
  47. 2:35door cut the phone lines waited at the
  48. 2:38backdoor had reservations about even
  49. 2:41going or just walking away but bracing
  50. 2:43the door open and I was in alright so
  51. 2:46the door opened was it open for you two
  52. 2:49I think one of the kids I think the
  53. 2:52Tjuta
  54. 2:53junior or not junior yesterday the young
  55. 2:58girl Joseph opened the door he probably
  56. 3:00let the dog out
  57. 3:01is it August in the house at that time
  58. 3:03all right when you went into the house
  59. 3:05what happened then well I confronted the
  60. 3:08family pulled the pistol in front of mr.
  61. 3:11Otero and asked him to
  62. 3:15you know that I was there too basically
  63. 3:18I was wanted I wanted to get the car was
  64. 3:24hungry food I was wanted and asked him
  65. 3:27lie down in the living room and at that
  66. 3:31time I realized that wouldn't be a
  67. 3:32really good idea so I finally the dog
  68. 3:34was a real problem so I asked Mr
  69. 3:36O'Farrell if he could get the dog out so
  70. 3:37he had when the kids put it out I took
  71. 3:40them back to the bedroom took food back
  72. 3:43the family the bedroom for members what
  73. 3:47happened and at that time I tied him up
  74. 3:50while still holding him at gunpoint
  75. 3:52well in between trying I guess all right
  76. 3:57after you tie them up
  77. 3:59well they started complaining about
  78. 4:02being tied up and I reduce into bonds a
  79. 4:06couple of times tried to make mr
  80. 4:08O'Farrell as comfortable as I could
  81. 4:09apparently had a cracked rib from a car
  82. 4:12accident so I had him put a pillow down
  83. 4:15on me for his hand head he but a I think
  84. 4:18he Parker cope under beeping they talked
  85. 4:25to me about you know giving the car or
  86. 4:29whatever money I guess they didn't have
  87. 4:30very much money
  88. 4:33there I realized that you know I was
  89. 4:37already I didn't have a mask honoree
  90. 4:39thing they already could I he me and
  91. 4:43they'd have made a decision to go ahead
  92. 4:45and put him down I guess strangled
  93. 4:49alright what did you do to Joseph Otero
  94. 4:52see justice Otero Joseph Otero seen mr.
  95. 4:56Oh turn on the collar
  96. 4:57I put a plastic bag over his head and
  97. 5:00then some courts and tighten it this was
  98. 5:05in the bedroom yes sir
  99. 5:08did he in fact suffocate and die not
  100. 5:13right away
  101. 5:13no sir he didn't what happened well
  102. 5:17after that I I did mrs. Otero I had
  103. 5:21never strangled anyone before
  104. 5:23so I really don't know how much pressure
  105. 5:25he had been on a person or how long
  106. 5:27would it take
  107. 5:27but was she also tied up through yes
  108. 5:31yeah both their hands and their feet
  109. 5:33were tied up she was on the bed where
  110. 5:34were the children well Josephine was on
  111. 5:38the bed and jr. was on the floor this
  112. 5:42time so we're talking first of all about
  113. 5:45Joseph Otero so you'd put the bag over
  114. 5:48his head and tied it he did not die
  115. 5:51right away can you tell me what happened
  116. 5:53in regards to Joseph he moved over real
  117. 5:55quick like and I think pour a hole in
  118. 5:57the bag and I could tell that he was
  119. 5:58having some problems there but at that
  120. 6:01time the the whole family just went they
  121. 6:03went panicked on me so you work pretty
  122. 6:09quick well I mean I do i strangle mrs.
  123. 6:12Hill Terrell she went out or passed out
  124. 6:16I thought she was dead she passed out
  125. 6:18and I strangled Josephine
  126. 6:21she passed out or I thought she was dead
  127. 6:23and
  128. 6:25then I went over and put it and then put
  129. 6:28a bag on juniors head and and then I
  130. 6:35remember right missus Otero came back
  131. 6:42she came back and Terrell si Senor he
  132. 6:48had torn a hole in the back
  133. 6:50what'd you do with him then I put
  134. 6:53another bag over or eat that all right I
  135. 6:56recollect I think I put a either a cloth
  136. 6:59or a t-shirt or something over it over
  137. 7:03his head and in a bag another bag
  138. 7:06did he subsequently die well yes
  139. 7:09you know I mean I was I didn't just stay
  140. 7:12there and watch him then I was moved
  141. 7:14around the room all right so you
  142. 7:16indicated you strangled mrs. Otero after
  143. 7:19you had done this is that correct
  144. 7:22now I went back and strangled her again
  145. 7:26finally killed her so this is in regards
  146. 7:29to count two you need first of all put
  147. 7:31the bag over Joseph Otero head and he
  148. 7:35tore a hole in the back then you went
  149. 7:38ahead did you strangle mrs. Otero then
  150. 7:40okay first of all first of all mr. Otero
  151. 7:43was strangled or a bag fit over his head
  152. 7:46and strangled then I thought he was
  153. 7:48going down and I went over and strangled
  154. 7:51mrs. Otero I thought she was down then I
  155. 7:55strangled Josephine
  156. 7:58while she was down and then I went over
  157. 8:00to junior and put the bag on his head
  158. 8:04after that mrs. Hill Carol woke back up
  159. 8:07and you know she was pretty upset what's
  160. 8:11going on so I came back
  161. 8:14and at that point in time strangled her
  162. 8:16for the death strangle at that time with
  163. 8:19your hands know what the court with a
  164. 8:22with a rope and then I I think at that
  165. 8:26point in time I redid mr. Otero
  166. 8:28but the bag over his head went over and
  167. 8:32into junior before that she asked me to
  168. 8:36to save her son so I actually had taken
  169. 8:39a bag off and then I was really upset at
  170. 8:42that point in time
  171. 8:43so basically mr. Carroll was down mrs.
  172. 8:46O'Hara was done I went ahead and junior
  173. 8:50up in another bag over his head and took
  174. 8:51him to the other bedroom what did you do
  175. 8:54then but a bag of resented but a Quaffle
  176. 8:57resent a t-shirt and bags they couldn't
  177. 8:59care a hole in it he died from that you
  178. 9:04know I went back Josephine and walked
  179. 9:08back up what did you do that when I took
  180. 9:10her to the basement and eventually hung
  181. 9:16yes sir yes I I had some sexual
  182. 9:22fantasies but that was after she was
  183. 9:25home
  184. 9:27all right what did you do that might be
  185. 9:32the house and I cleaned it up it's
  186. 9:34called the right hand rule you go from
  187. 9:36river room pick your things up I think I
  188. 9:39took mr. careless watch I guess I took a
  189. 9:43radio I I forgot about that but
  190. 9:45apparently took a radio why did you take
  191. 9:48these things I don't know
  192. 9:56got the keys the car fact I had the keys
  193. 9:58I think earlier before that because I
  194. 9:59want to make sure I had a way of getting
  195. 10:01out of the house and clean the house up
  196. 10:04a little bit make sure everything's
  197. 10:05packed up and left through the front
  198. 10:07door and went there went over to their
  199. 10:12Park and then drove over to Dylan's left
  200. 10:16the car there in addition I walked back
  201. 10:18to my farm
  202. 10:19all right now sir from what you have
  203. 10:23just said I take it back you totally
  204. 10:29apply to both counts one all of the
  205. 10:32counts one two three and four is that
  206. 10:35correct yes sir
  207. 10:37now mr. Rader yes
  208. 10:44that is originally I believe he
  209. 10:45indicated 1834 edgeville address was
  210. 10:49actually three addresses
  211. 11:07all right mr. Raider we will now turn to
  212. 11:10count five in that count it is claimed
  213. 11:13that on or about the fourth day of April
  214. 11:151974 in Sedgwick County Kansas that you
  215. 11:19unlawfully killed Kathryn bright
  216. 11:21maliciously willfully deliberately and
  217. 11:25with premeditation by staring ulation
  218. 11:27and stabbing inflicting injuries from
  219. 11:29which she did die on April 4th 1974 can
  220. 11:33you tell me what occurred on that day I
  221. 11:43say that I had many what I call them
  222. 11:46projects they were different people in
  223. 11:48the town that I followed watched
  224. 11:50Kathleen Bryant was one of the next
  225. 11:52targets I guess I would indicate how did
  226. 11:55you select her just driving by one day
  227. 11:58and I saw her go in the house with
  228. 11:59somebody else and I thought that's a
  229. 12:01possibility there was many many places
  230. 12:04in the area College Hill had been there
  231. 12:07all over which table anyway that's it
  232. 12:08just with basically a selection process
  233. 12:10work toward it if it didn't work I just
  234. 12:12move on to something else but in my kind
  235. 12:16of personal
  236. 12:17stalking and scrolling you go through
  237. 12:19the trolling stage and then a stocking
  238. 12:21the stage she was in the stocking stage
  239. 12:22when this happened all right sir so you
  240. 12:26identified Kathryn bright as a potential
  241. 12:29victim yes sir what did you do here in
  242. 12:32Sedgwick County Beth Arden what did you
  243. 12:34do then here in Sedgwick County on this
  244. 12:36particular day yeah broke into the house
  245. 12:39and waited for her to come home how did
  246. 12:43you break into the house through the
  247. 12:44back door on the east side all right and
  248. 12:48waited for her to come home we'll just
  249. 12:50wait in the house they're probably close
  250. 12:52to the bedroom I walked it Allison
  251. 12:55figure out where I be if they came
  252. 12:57through all right what happened that she
  253. 13:00and Kevin Wright came in
  254. 13:03I wasn't expecting him to be there and
  255. 13:06come find out I guess they were related
  256. 13:08that time I approached him and told him
  257. 13:12I was wanted in California needed some
  258. 13:15are basically the same thing that I told
  259. 13:17him girls kind of make me feel better
  260. 13:20and proceeded to I think I had him tight
  261. 13:24I got had him tied her up first and then
  262. 13:27I tied him up or vice-versa I don't
  263. 13:29remember right now let me ask you you
  264. 13:32indicated you had some items to tie
  265. 13:35these people with you bring these items
  266. 13:37both the old Carol's in with this okay
  267. 13:39Charles I did I'm not really sure on
  268. 13:43them rights there was some when I
  269. 13:49haven't working with the police that
  270. 13:51were some controversy on that probably
  271. 13:53more likely I did if if I had brought my
  272. 13:58stuff and used my stuff
  273. 14:00Kevin would probably be dead today I'm
  274. 14:02not bragging on that it's just a matter
  275. 14:04of fact is the bonds I tied him up with
  276. 14:07he broke himself alright maybe same way
  277. 14:12with same with Catherine it was I got a
  278. 14:15gun on a hand
  279. 14:16alright now you indicated that you
  280. 14:18believe you had Kevin tie Catherine up
  281. 14:21tell me what happened okay
  282. 14:24I moved well after I really can't
  283. 14:27remember judged whether I had her tie
  284. 14:29him up or she tied him up but anyway I
  285. 14:31moved basically I moved her to another
  286. 14:33bedroom and he was already secure there
  287. 14:36by the bed tidy speak to the bedpost on
  288. 14:41the bedpost that he couldn't run
  289. 14:43kind of tied her in the other bedroom
  290. 14:45and then it came back to strangle him at
  291. 14:49that time we had a fight were you armed
  292. 14:51with the handgun at that time what
  293. 14:54happened actually had two handguns well
  294. 14:58I started strangling either the parent
  295. 15:02broke or he broke these bonds and he
  296. 15:04jumped up with quick like pull him I got
  297. 15:06him quickly shot it hit him in the head
  298. 15:09he fell over I can see the blood and as
  299. 15:13far as i concerned he you know I thought
  300. 15:14he was down was out and then started to
  301. 15:19strangle him
  302. 15:21Catherine and then we started fighting
  303. 15:25because bonds weren't very good
  304. 15:26and so acting forth we fought you and
  305. 15:30Catherine yeah we fought and I got the
  306. 15:34best of her and I thought she was going
  307. 15:35down and then I could hear some movement
  308. 15:37in the other room so I went back and
  309. 15:39Kevin no no I thought she was going down
  310. 15:43and I went back to the other bedroom
  311. 15:45where Kevin was there I tried to re
  312. 15:47strangle him at that time and he jumped
  313. 15:50up and we fought and he about at that
  314. 15:54time about shot me it's got the other
  315. 15:55pistol that was in my shoulder I have a
  316. 15:58magnum in my shoulder so it really is
  317. 16:02true mmm did you have a shoulder oh yes
  318. 16:04and I'm the head of Magnum the shoulder
  319. 16:05holsters the other one was a 22 and we
  320. 16:09fought at that point time and
  321. 16:11I was gonna go off I Jam the gun suck my
  322. 16:14finger in the vision in there damned it
  323. 16:16and I think he thought that was the only
  324. 16:19gun I had because once I either Betty's
  325. 16:21finger or hitting or something got away
  326. 16:23and I used the 22 and shot him one more
  327. 16:25time and I thought he was down for a
  328. 16:27good time all right so you shot him a
  329. 16:29second time yes sir what happened it
  330. 16:31went back to finish the job on Katherine
  331. 16:37and she was fighting and at that point
  332. 16:42in time I've been fighting her I just
  333. 16:44and then I heard some I don't know
  334. 16:46whether I was basically losing control
  335. 16:48the strangulation wasn't working on her
  336. 16:51and I used a knife on her say you used a
  337. 16:56knife on her yeah what did you do with
  338. 16:58the mine I stabbed dirt
  339. 16:59she said you just have two or three
  340. 17:01times either here or here maybe two back
  341. 17:04here and one here or maybe just two
  342. 17:06times here you were pointing to your
  343. 17:08lower back and underneath the ribs and
  344. 17:10your lower abdomen underneath the ribs
  345. 17:14so after you stabbed or what happened
  346. 17:17actually I think at that point in time
  347. 17:22well it's a total mess doesn't have
  348. 17:25control on it she was bleeding and she
  349. 17:27went down I think I just went back to
  350. 17:31check on Kevin or at that basically the
  351. 17:33same time I heard him make scared it
  352. 17:35could be one of the two all of a sudden
  353. 17:37the front door of the house was open and
  354. 17:39he was gone and oh I tell you what I
  355. 17:42thought I thought the police were coming
  356. 17:43at that time I heard the door open I
  357. 17:45thought that's it and I stepped out
  358. 17:47there and he I can see him running down

  449. 21:54what happened I told mrs. s plan that I
  450. 22:01had a problem with sexual fantasies that
  451. 22:04was going to tie her up and I might have
  452. 22:08to tie the kids up and she would
  453. 22:12cooperate with us cooperate with me at
  454. 22:14that time we went back she was extremely
  455. 22:16nervous I think she even smoked a
  456. 22:18cigarette and we went back to one of the
  457. 22:21back back areas the porch explained to
  458. 22:24her that I had done this before and I
  459. 22:27think she would at that point in time I
  460. 22:29think she was sick because she had a
  461. 22:30nitro bond I think I remember right she
  462. 22:32was she had been sick like I think she
  463. 22:34came out of the bedroom when I went in
  464. 22:36the house so anyway we went back to the
  465. 22:39her bedroom and I proceeded to tie the
  466. 22:41kids up started crying and got real
  467. 22:43upset so I said no this is not gonna
  468. 22:46work so we moved him to the bathroom she
  469. 22:48helped me and then I tied the door shut
  470. 22:51we put some toys and blankets and odds
  471. 22:54and ends in there for the kids make most
  472. 22:55comfortable is it good idea
  473. 22:57we tied one of the bathroom door shut so
  474. 23:00they couldn't open it and we show she
  475. 23:01went back to help me show the bed up
  476. 23:03against the other bathroom door and then
  477. 23:06I proceeded to tie her up she got sick
  478. 23:09threw up her glass of water comforted
  479. 23:14her a little bit
  480. 23:16and tied it up and then put black bag
  481. 23:19over her head and strangled her
  482. 23:20alright was this plastic bag also yes
  483. 23:24sir what could be wrong with that it was
  484. 23:28something I'm sure it was plastic bag

  486. 23:30you see the bag over her head and
  487. 23:31strangled her what did you strangle her
  488. 23:33with I actually had think on that I had
  489. 23:36tied tighter legs to the bedpost and
  490. 23:38worked up with a rope all the way up and
  491. 23:40then what I had left over over so you
  492. 23:44use this rope to strangle yes I don't
  493. 23:46think I would think it's the same one
  494. 23:47that I tied her body with what happened
  495. 23:50that well the kids were really banging
  496. 23:53on the door hollering screaming and and

  521. 24:591977 Suffolk County Kansas that you and
  522. 25:02lawfully killed a human being that being
  523. 25:04Nancy Fox maliciously willfully
  524. 25:06deliberately and with premeditation by
  525. 25:10strangulation inflicting injuries from
  526. 25:12which the said Nancy Fox did die on
  527. 25:14December 8 1977 can you tell me what you
  528. 25:18did on that day here in Sedgwick at
  529. 25:21Nancy Fox was another one of the
  530. 25:23projects when I was trolling the area I
  531. 25:28noticed her going the house 1 9 in any
  532. 25:34way put her down as potential victim let
  533. 25:37me ask you one thing mr. Rader you used
  534. 25:39that firm when you were patrolling the
  535. 25:41area what do you mean by that it's
  536. 25:44called stalking or trolling so you were
  537. 25:47not working in any form or fashion
  538. 25:50well most I know if you've read much
  539. 25:54about serial killers they go through
  540. 25:55that they call the different phases
  541. 25:57that's one of the phases they go through
  542. 25:59as a as a trolling stage you're late
  543. 26:01basically you're looking for a victim at
  544. 26:03that time and that you could be trolling
  545. 26:05for months or years but once you lock in
  546. 26:08on a certain person you become stalking
  547. 26:10and that might be several of them but
  548. 26:11you really pull me in on that person
  549. 26:13they basically come the
  550. 26:27all right no no I wasn't working sir all
  551. 26:30right
  552. 26:30no this was this was off off my hours
  553. 26:34all right so you basically identified
  554. 26:38Nancy boxes one of your projects what
  555. 26:42happened then
  556. 26:43at first she was spotted and then I did
  557. 26:47a little homework I dropped by wants to
  558. 26:49check the mailbox see what her name was
  559. 26:52found out where she worked
  560. 26:55it's not by there once hillsboro kind of
  561. 26:59sliced her up by the more I knew about a
  562. 27:02person the more I felt comfortable with
  563. 27:04it so I did that a couple of times and
  564. 27:06then I just selected tonight which was
  565. 27:09just for tonight
  566. 27:10try it can you tell me what you did on
  567. 27:15the night of December 8th 1977 about two
  568. 27:18or three blocks away I parked my car and
  569. 27:20walked to that residence knocked at the
  570. 27:23knocked at the door first and make sure
  571. 27:25to see if anybody was in there because I
  572. 27:26knew she arrived home at a particular
  573. 27:28time from where she worked I nobody
  574. 27:31answered the door so I went around the
  575. 27:32back the house up the phone lines I
  576. 27:35could tell that there wasn't anybody in
  577. 27:36the North apartment broke in and waited

  585. 28:02while she smoked a cigarette while while

  667. 32:18and I walked from where the taxi let me
  668. 32:20out for her took her house all right
  669. 32:23where does she lived 60 to wake you
  670. 32:30fifty-four 62-54 62-54 well north
  671. 32:36independence alright when you walked
  672. 32:38over there what happened next well as
  673. 32:42before I was going to have sexual
  674. 32:44fantasies so I brought my hip kit and lo
  675. 32:48and behold her car was there about t
  676. 32:50she's not supposed to be home so I very
  677. 32:53carefully snuck into the house and like
  678. 32:55a cat burglar and after checking the
  679. 32:57house she wasn't there
  680. 32:58so about that time the doors rattled so
  681. 33:04when in fact one of the bedrooms had
  682. 33:06hidden back there or in the bedrooms she
  683. 33:09came in with a male visitor they were
  684. 33:11there for maybe an hour or so he left
  685. 33:15I waited till wee hours of morning and
  686. 33:19then proceeded to sneak into her bedroom
  687. 33:21and put the lights on work took like or
  688. 33:24I think the bathroom lights I just
  689. 33:25thought he want to flip her lights on
  690. 33:26and she screamed and jumped on the bed
  691. 33:29and strangled her manually all right now
  692. 33:33were you wearing any kind of disguise or
  693. 33:35mask at this time no no you indicated
  694. 33:38this woman lived down the street from
  695. 33:40you did she know you casually we walked
  696. 33:43by and wave she she'd like to work in
  697. 33:46her yard as well as I like to work there
  698. 33:47just a neighborly type thing it wasn't
  699. 33:49anything personal I mean just a neighbor
  700. 33:51all right so she was in her bed when you
  701. 33:54turn on the lights in the back out of
  702. 33:56the bathroom so I get some light in
  703. 33:58there what did you do that I manually
  704. 34:00strangled her when she started to scream
  705. 34:02she used your hands yes sir
  706. 34:05and you strangled her did she die yes
  707. 34:07all right what did you do that after
  708. 34:10that since I was in the sexual fantasy I
  709. 34:14went
  710. 34:15and stripped her and probably went ahead
  711. 34:19and I'm not sure if I tied her up at
  712. 34:20that point in time but anyway she was
  713. 34:23noon I put her on a blanket went through
  714. 34:26her purse some personal items in the
  715. 34:27house I figured out how I was gonna get
  716. 34:30her out of there
  717. 34:31eventually moved her to the trunk of the
  718. 34:34car uh took the car over to Christ
  719. 34:39Lutheran Church this is what the older
  720. 34:41church and I have picked some pictures
  721. 34:45of her all right you took some
  722. 34:48photographs or a kind of camera to use
  723. 34:50now poor lord did you keep those
  724. 34:54photographs yes the police probably did
  725. 34:57all right
  726. 34:58what happened that was it that went took
  727. 35:02she went through I tied it she was
  728. 35:05already dead so I took pictures of her
  729. 35:07in different forms of bondage and that's
  730. 35:10probably what got me in trouble with a
  731. 35:12bunch of things so anyway that's the
  732. 35:14probably the main thing but anyway after
  733. 35:17that I moved her back out to the car and
  734. 35:20then we went east on 53rd all right what
  735. 35:24occurred then sir what happened then
  736. 35:27Oh trying to find a place to hide her
  737. 35:29find the body did you find a place
  738. 35:32yes yes it didn't work couldn't tell you
  739. 35:36without looking at map that it was on
  740. 35:3853rd between Greenwich maybe maybe
  741. 35:41that's what's
  742. 35:45we have wings I think the Queen Wed and
  743. 35:48webbed hands ring which I found a ditch
  744. 35:50a low place on the north side of the
  745. 35:53road and hid her there all right you say
  746. 35:56you hid her there whether some ever some
  747. 35:57trees some brush and I laid that over
  748. 36:00the top of her body all right so you

  812. 38:45material that they had in their bedroom

  824. 39:13wasn't after after she was down and not
  825. 39:17moving anymore I rearranged her clothes
  826. 39:19a little bit and took some quick photos

  860. 40:45mr. Rader please tell me what you did
  861. 40:47here in Sedgwick County Kansas on that
  862. 40:49day that makes you believe you were
  863. 40:50guilty and that particular day I have
  864. 40:53some commitments left those went to one
  865. 40:57place changed my clothes went to another
  866. 41:00place
  867. 41:01park my car finally made arrangements on
  868. 41:04my kit kit my clothes and then walked to
  869. 41:07that residence after spending some time
  870. 41:11at that residence very cold at night had
  871. 41:15reservations about going in they I had
  872. 41:19cased the place before and I really
  873. 41:20can't figure out how to get in and she
  874. 41:22was in the house so I finally just
  875. 41:24selected a concrete block and through
  876. 41:28through the plate-glass window on the
  877. 41:29east and came on in where's this
  878. 41:31residence locally it's on hillside but I
  879. 41:34couldn't give the address I know it's
  880. 41:36probably 61 probably 62 something on 62
  881. 41:39something north or south north all right
  882. 41:44so you used a concrete block to break
  883. 41:46the window plate glass window patio door
  884. 41:48what happened that noise I just went in
  885. 41:52she came out of the bedroom and thought
  886. 41:54that a car could hit her house and I
  887. 41:57told her that I was I used the roofs of
  888. 41:59the thing wanted I was on the run at a
  889. 42:02food car warmth warm up and then I asked
  890. 42:07her a handcuffed her and kind of talk to
  891. 42:10her told her that I would like to get
  892. 42:12some food get her keys her car and kind
  893. 42:16of rest to serve you know what talked
  894. 42:18with her a little bit and calmed her
  895. 42:19down a little bit
  896. 42:21and then eventually I checked I think
  897. 42:25she was still handcuffed I went back and
  898. 42:28checked out where the car was simulated
  899. 42:31getting some food odds and ends in the
  900. 42:33house but I like I was leaving they went
  901. 42:36back and removed her handcuffs and then
  902. 42:39tied her up and then it eventually
  903. 42:42strangled her you say eventually
  904. 42:45strangled well after I tied her up and
  905. 42:47went through some things in the room
  906. 42:49there and then and then strangled her
  907. 42:55what's a personal I insist I take some
  908. 42:57personal items from there if you take
  909. 42:59personal items in every one of these
  910. 43:01incidents I get on the hedge and
  911. 43:07everything at Vicki's place they upped
  912. 43:11arrows we got the watch in the radio I
  913. 43:14don't think I did it in bright glance no
  914. 43:19I don't think so
  915. 43:20Fox yes I put some things from Fox those
  916. 43:22hit and miss all right but I'm probably
  917. 43:25even with Eva's control situation where
  918. 43:27I had more time I took something but if
  919. 43:30it was a confusion and other things I
  920. 43:33didn't I was trying to get out there
  921. 43:34all right so in regard for the Davis
  922. 43:36matter you went around the room took a
  923. 43:38few personal things what did you do then
  924. 43:41strangled her what did you strangle her
  925. 43:43with pantyhose
  926. 43:46kind of like mrs. edge I already figured
  927. 43:50out my I had a you know plan on leaving
  928. 43:53and put her in a blanket and drive her
  929. 43:55to the car put her in the trunk of the
  930. 43:57car we were able to strangle her to
  931. 43:59death with these panels yes sir all
  932. 44:01right put her in her car
  933. 44:03they performed the trunk of the car what
  934. 44:06happened I really had a commitment I
  935. 44:11needed to go to so I moved her to one
  936. 44:14spot took her out of her car this gets
  937. 44:18complicated then the stuff I had clothes
  938. 44:23gun whatever I cooked up to another spot
  939. 44:26in her car dump that off okay
  940. 44:31then took her car back to her house left
  941. 44:38that
  942. 44:42okay in the interim I took her car back
  943. 44:47to her house and interim I realized that
  944. 44:48I had lost one like guns I dropped it
  945. 44:51somewhere so I was he started trying to
  946. 44:54figure out where my gun was so I went
  947. 44:56back in the house realized I had dropped
  948. 44:57it when I went into when I broke the
  949. 44:59plate glass window it dropped and fell
  950. 45:01on the floor right there and I found it
  951. 45:02right there so that's all that problem
  952. 45:04anyway I went back out through the keys
  953. 45:06check the car real quick like and threw
  954. 45:09the keys up on top of the roof of her
  955. 45:11house
  956. 45:11walk from her car back to my car took my
  957. 45:17car drove it back and I either dropped
  958. 45:20more stuff off or I picked her up and
  959. 45:23put them in my car and then I drove up
  960. 45:26north east of Sedgwick County and
  961. 45:28dropped her off underneath the bridge

  1123. 55:46through the police's well I get I
  1124. 55:48understand there was some smoke blowing
  1125. 55:49that was probably my demise they
  1126. 55:52afterlife and smoke JP Ellen kekeke
  1127. 55:57story early first a bit of smoke
  1128. 55:59following is it blue so much smoke that
  1129. 56:02now nobody knows facts of fiction and
  1130. 56:04that's basically why I'd be very honest
  1131. 56:08with my attorneys hard yeah almost done
  1132. 56:14egg earlier including someone less after
  1133. 56:17that is basically all over and I Steve
  1134. 56:20encouraged not to go with her deeply
  1135. 56:22so if you do more they get all the
  1136. 56:25things it could with a locket and an
  1137. 56:28expert coming in over the fluffy see
  1138. 56:31whether there's any problems with that
  1139. 56:33they did expensive booth service in the
  1140. 56:35DNA spot with me when they took my
  1141. 56:38daughter but I understand in a law
  1142. 56:40enforcement you have to do certain
  1143. 56:41things and I think honestly what will
  1144. 56:46save an audition
  1145. 56:50so anyway I faced up to the man himself
  1146. 56:55now my boss I think that all most
  1147. 57:00accountability and fulfilling now and
  1148. 57:05memos I think I think it's here you know
  1149. 57:11they are available for this happened I
  1150. 57:22was well to say not pasta compromised
  1151. 57:30and probably is the stage for the
  1152. 57:34service for the day was the
  1153. 57:35compartmentalization of me has been my
  1154. 57:38biggest record back and forth and not
  1155. 57:41proud of that it's just I speak
  1156. 57:44mechanism defense mechanism I just acted
  1157. 57:49for a fairly fast I explained to the
  1158. 57:53defense I was kinda like an 18 wheeler
  1159. 57:56dealer down you know I just switched
  1160. 57:58gears very fast correctly
  1161. 58:01I could work on it and as I stand here
  1162. 58:05in this humble way then maybe people
  1163. 58:07could do it
  1164. 58:09come back to performance so the weight
  1165. 58:15is given to the face to see okay
  1166. 58:18[Music]
  1167. 58:25corrections this is the whole
  1168. 58:27responsibility we're going to handle
  1169. 58:29institution full full board I don't
  1170. 58:33expect anything with a hardcore PITA I
  1171. 58:36expected that I'm gonna pee that's why
  1172. 58:38step quickly please
  1173. 58:40I knew after I talked to police the
  1174. 58:44evidence there wasn't ago I was really
  1175. 58:46gonna get out of this once we found the
  1176. 58:48simulated some evidence that was just in
  1177. 58:53the trial would have been a long
  1178. 58:54drawn-out to plead everything away by
  1179. 59:01making corrections on the leg from
  1180. 59:03society now in process there as long as
  1181. 59:07you can start my new chapter
  1182. 59:13and I suppose then all the time it's
  1183. 59:16greater than everybody knows Reiter has
  1184. 59:18to complain a little bit so I like to do
  1185. 59:20some minor ones not because I want to
  1186. 59:22complain today but I want to set the
  1187. 59:23record this is my last time he probably
  1188. 59:29biggest problem I have right now we're
  1189. 59:31still trying to answer is happen to
  1190. 59:33Mendoza with organic trust with interest
  1191. 59:35it's like I just guess it's working I
  1192. 59:39know about people working that was I
  1193. 59:41just another one is the you know
  1194. 59:48basically expressing this I don't know
  1195. 59:51on that wish somebody could take apart
  1196. 59:54it isn't named on the house now the
  1197. 59:57final victim business for paper said is
  1198. 1:00:00my wife
  1199. 1:00:00[Music]
  1200. 1:00:21stiva Jeff
  1201. 1:00:24[Music]
  1202. 1:00:27it's
  1203. 1:00:30only went back that she is my final
  1204. 1:00:32victim nothing about this loss I
  1205. 1:00:41understand it because they lean one on
  1206. 1:00:43the house is because I have property
  1207. 1:00:45there's a lot of dependence in saying
  1208. 1:00:46that we don't have any plaintiff forever
  1209. 1:00:47I know this is very expensive
  1210. 1:00:50probably defense it's like somewhere
  1211. 1:00:52eighty nine thousand
  1212. 1:00:53it's just about the house sold for if we
  1213. 1:00:56want to a trial within a millions of
  1214. 1:00:58years I I just basically ask them
  1215. 1:01:02whoever does that final judgment that
  1216. 1:01:03they think about the wife dead one is
  1217. 1:01:09not biggie it's not this less issued
  1218. 1:01:13better finest psychic you know pictures
  1219. 1:01:16out of the spoken defense would have a
  1220. 1:01:18court order for every day I can go
  1221. 1:01:21through that wallet okay some family
  1222. 1:01:23pictures but that's not going to issue
  1223. 1:01:24because I understand to motive that
  1224. 1:01:26these the defense will turn that
  1225. 1:01:28probably over my clothes those are
  1226. 1:01:32really those are the complaints except
  1227. 1:01:34for a powerful question I don't
  1228. 1:01:37and again I want to pick on those
  1229. 1:01:38waffles think I'm very good job but
  1230. 1:01:40clarify a few things just for the roads
  1231. 1:01:44because this is basic my final say
  1232. 1:01:48they whistling there was two actors
  1233. 1:01:49brought about the same longer tunneling
  1234. 1:01:52the James Bond the action of that Kevin
  1235. 1:01:57was the shooting not they pay less stood
  1236. 1:02:00up in stride because I was working with
  1237. 1:02:03the police I would say what I call a
  1238. 1:02:05quick travel just like that that's what
  1239. 1:02:08I called his online shop it's not that
  1240. 1:02:10he would be something like that
  1241. 1:02:12secondly we fought it for us to fight
  1242. 1:02:16he had that wolfies hands open the
  1243. 1:02:19PowerPoint said that they spit up things
  1244. 1:02:22tied my shotty he fought my back dog he
  1245. 1:02:27had his hands starting again and again
  1246. 1:02:31these are only minor this month make a
  1247. 1:02:33difference is probably relevant I just
  1248. 1:02:35must set the record straight that's all
  1249. 1:02:37sir Vienna it was the art scene that I
  1250. 1:02:43was strangling myself I just covered the
  1251. 1:02:47kids
  1252. 1:02:48that's just she who I hope put the kids
  1253. 1:02:51back in the backer never been there
  1254. 1:02:54before we wanted so the Foley's all I
  1255. 1:02:59ever put in over here
  1256. 1:03:05this book for five down there
  1257. 1:03:07[Music]
  1258. 1:03:15and this is really minor although it
  1259. 1:03:19makes you wonder whether the information
  1260. 1:03:21is intended or not evidence and make
  1261. 1:03:23some speculate where the law enforcement
  1262. 1:03:25didn't do but they did a good job with a
  1263. 1:03:27good plan with the second the doors made
  1264. 1:03:31this race they click back and forth
  1265. 1:03:33anybody knows anything about geology
  1266. 1:03:36structured his true stuff or not I think
  1267. 1:03:39she they were over in the eastern part
  1268. 1:03:41of nine states so those pictures have
  1269. 1:03:44hanging in the Mayo burn up she probably
  1270. 1:03:52the most damaging to me Agra food they
  1271. 1:03:58displayed yes a Naga quiet rude I did
  1272. 1:04:01see what they had a lot a pumpkin fix
  1273. 1:04:04yourself family will know that I didn't
  1274. 1:04:07own the camper I had a pickup with a
  1275. 1:04:09camera top that he didn't have any show
  1276. 1:04:11us that it's a basic 11 s was totally
  1277. 1:04:13painted Lee you picked up a fixture from
  1278. 1:04:15somewhere else or and so did or didn't
  1279. 1:04:18realize it may have known a relative I'm
  1280. 1:04:20not sure I would think they had more
  1281. 1:04:23pornography they were started
  1282. 1:04:26I said basically the perfect Asians that
  1283. 1:04:32thing is what the law enforcement there
  1284. 1:04:37seemed to be waited as a dog catcher
  1285. 1:04:43law enforcement I felt like it ever
  1286. 1:04:47before with the longed-for see people
  1287. 1:04:49drinking profession and it's they
  1288. 1:04:52probably said I stopped probably be
  1289. 1:04:54talking about the deviance person didn't
  1290. 1:04:56show up we had a good rapport I almost
  1291. 1:04:59felt like a savant I'm a speculum onion
  1292. 1:05:02to come in and have a coffee with me so
  1293. 1:05:05there was a report almost have to
  1294. 1:05:06respect the law enforcement although I
  1295. 1:05:10work back black am still awake then
  1296. 1:05:16thanks I can't believe the people sorry
  1297. 1:05:24yeah I think they use society after even
  1298. 1:05:28though criminal I think you have to
  1299. 1:05:31appreciate the police department they've
  1300. 1:05:33done a lot of work took a long time
  1301. 1:05:36they've gathered evidence the heavy
  1302. 1:05:38evidence winning if you suspect a very
  1303. 1:05:41gravely have the dedication act like
  1304. 1:05:44this might work for all these years it's
  1305. 1:05:46a great so I think such a panic really
  1306. 1:05:48has a good police force defense this has
  1307. 1:05:54been a unique probably a different
  1308. 1:05:57typeface that they've ever had we've had
  1309. 1:06:00our ups and downs but also they've been
  1310. 1:06:02good
  1311. 1:06:02it's it it's just like a news anchor
  1312. 1:06:05it's just
  1313. 1:06:07and the media has just been terrible I
  1314. 1:06:10work with the meat packers
  1315. 1:06:12and yeah I mean it's it's just it's just
  1316. 1:06:16tremendous better pretty good Sara's
