We need to talk about Kevin. 12 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.760 We've all had an unexpected knock at the door. It can be frustrating when 13 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.799 you're trying to relax and not expecting company, whether it be door to door 14 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.159 salesmen who ignored them no soliciting science, or dress shirt clad young men trying 15 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.280 to save your soul. If you get your lazy ass off the recliner, 16 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.680 peer through the people and see a stranger. The immediate feeling is anger. 17 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:07.240 It's the simplest of violations. Someone approaching your sanctuary uninvited. Timothy Johnson and 18 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:13.280 Lawanda Houston received an unwelcome guest the morning of March twenty seventh, twenty fourteen. 19 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.280 This wasn't a door to door meat salesman or girl scouts slinging cookies the 20 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.840 only welcome intrusion, but it was a skinny, disheveled looking nerdish type young 21 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:28.240 man, eighteen year old Kevin Davis. When the Wanda opened the door, 22 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.479 Kevin meekly asked her if she could dial nine to one one for him because 23 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:38.400 he had just murdered someone. Emergency. Oh, yes, someone does knocked 24 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.599 on my door. He's here at my door right now, and he wanted 25 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.199 me to call nine one more. He showed he just murdered someone. Okay, 26 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.360 and he's there right now, yes, screw And he said he murdered 27 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.319 someone, yes, saying is there any way that maybe I can speak to 28 00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:00.560 him? Would you like have bought to hello? What's going on to Oh? 29 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.080 As I said, I've murdered someone? Actually, but who did Kevin 30 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.439 murder he didn't look like he was capable of killing anyone. To Timothy and 31 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.520 Lawanda, the scrinny little dor didn't appear to be dangerous. Was this a 32 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:17.199 prank? After police descended on their home in Robstown and took the boy into 33 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.479 custody, the residents would soon find out that a monster had come knocking at 34 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:27.560 their door. Back in Corpus Christi, Texas, about twenty miles away, 35 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.439 Kevin Davis had killed his own mother, fifty year old hospice nurse Kimberly Hill. 36 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.840 It was the day before her birthday, and the boy had done much 37 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:40.039 more than murder his mom. He had defiled her corpse. When Davis was 38 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.879 taken into custody, he was immediately put into a room to be interviewed by 39 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:49.319 detectives Torres and Garcia, and his account of his crimes was shocking enough to 40 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.800 sour the stomachs of even the most seasoned officers, saying earlier, if you've 41 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.479 talked some people, you want to get some stuff off your chest, and 42 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.120 we're here to listen to you. What happened, knows what you know? 43 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:08.680 What happens? Well? Have you has anybody gone to the house yet? 44 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.919 Do you really know what we have, but we want to hear it from 45 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.840 you, or we have an idea, use the old one with the post. 46 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.120 Start at the beginning, man, what costublish? Well, very beginning. 47 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:27.519 I asked my mother for permission to die, or rather kind of commit 48 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.839 suicide, the sort of beating around the bush sort of thing, because well, 49 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:39.120 well that doesn't really matter. Why I wanted to kill myself. I'm 50 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.240 bored with life. I don't like life. I don't like people, I 51 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.199 don't like living it. Basically, there's really nothing anything depressing about it. 52 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.120 Just this what it is. In addition to being suicidal prior to the murder, 53 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.959 Kevin and harbor dark fantasies about killing and raping his own mother and sister. 54 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.000 He confess these sick impulses in a note that he left at the scene 55 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.879 Life Resignation Notice three slash twenty six slash twenty fifteen six fifty one pm parentheses 56 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.639 finished. I had a change of heart. I said it was going to 57 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.600 do it, and so now I need to stick to my word. I 58 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.319 am a man, after all, I'll be it a hilarious one. Too 59 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:24.800 much damn work, so many obligations, seriously, fuck people, but most 60 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:29.399 of all fuck me. By the way, I've always fantasized about murdering and 61 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.439 fucking YouTube. It's kind of funny how you never really know someone, not 62 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.160 even your own son or brother. Sorry for the bathroom mess, mother, 63 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:43.560 Good luck recovering from the shock YouTube. Sincerely or not, Kevin Jazzreel Davis. 64 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.040 PS. I killed that stupid gray cat because I was bored one day. 65 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.480 Sorry, I wrote the note, Hi, bed, Why did you 66 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:59.079 write the note? I own six six stere yesterday? Yes, Christian, 67 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:09.360 okay, afternoon the one afternoon and then what happened? And then you get 68 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:15.680 upset with kind Well no, actually I molded over and then on a whim. 69 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.800 Actually I kind of it over rode a plan to kill both my mother 70 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.000 and my sister. Franklin has always been a thing of mine. It's a 71 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.240 bit of a pervert. Is like a fantasy thing, and it is actually 72 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:39.920 how long have you had it's around my preachings? Actually? Yeah, do 73 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:46.279 you ever seek any kind of medical attention psychological feel that you can cope with 74 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.920 that? Yeah? Nope. I never really seeked out. Actually, I 75 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.240 just accepted it as a part of me. I wasn't really ashamed of it, 76 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.360 just was what it was. Did you ever tell anybody else what your 77 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:02.160 plans were that you know, was one to your mom or his sister? 78 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:08.360 No, But over the years there were hints. As a younger boy, 79 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:13.319 I was a lot dumber, a lot more angsty, you know, I 80 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.279 said things, but I guess they basically brushed it off. I guess the 81 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:21.120 hints were everywhere, but they're my family, and family looks past that kind 82 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.160 of stuff where they try to not look at it. I guess Kevin had 83 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.959 intended on also killing his sister, but he couldn't control himself during an argument 84 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.240 with his mother about his impending suicide, and he snapped. So that didn't. 85 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:40.079 The best laid plans never work out, apparently, or at least the 86 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.279 one scribble on a piece of paper because she had decided she was sick of 87 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.079 the stuff. She was going to go send me to lose my sister again, 88 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.639 and so I kind of left off and the feary and just did it 89 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:58.600 right there and there he did one well. I tried to strangle her with 90 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.199 the cord ripped cord from a video game console controller. That didn't work. 91 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.720 What was yours? She was sitting on the couch where I am TV. 92 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:15.639 That didn't work out too well. She started screaming, and so I went 93 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.519 to her room, opened a drawer at the very bottom to the right, 94 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.000 I pulled out a hammer. I went back in the living room and well, 95 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.600 you kind of get the gist from there. She was out pretty quickly, 96 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.360 kind of tried to play dead at first. Then I finished it. 97 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.879 So you hear her with a hammer once she was sitting in the sofa in 98 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.720 the living room. No, first I tried to strangle her and that didn't 99 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.960 work for the grabs cord. So I raced back into her room, grabbed 100 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:46.080 a hammer, came back out, and then did it. The casual nature 101 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.840 in which Kevin talks about attempting to strangle and then bludgeoned his mother to death 102 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.000 might be the most shocking interrogation audio we've ever heard yet on true crime horror 103 00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:01.039 story. But this story gets much much worse to hold any time to hear 104 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.000 where living at least twenty But then she was still alive. I dragged her 105 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:13.440 into the room I probably clearly saw, and then I kind of warmed my 106 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.519 hands into her brain. Po kaiaks just cut it and she was still snoring. 107 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.759 Okay, because you're still alive. She was still alive, and you 108 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.679 went in there and you kind of grabbed those brains, yeah, espishly. 109 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.120 In addition to grabbing the brains and stirring them up with a knife, Kevin 110 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.159 would later admit to a psychiatrist that he had also tasted his mother's brain matter, 111 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.080 crossing the line from murder and necrophilia into cannibalism. Kimberly Hill had devoted 112 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.120 her life into working at a hospice, comforting others in the last days. 113 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.440 Now she lay dead at the hands of her own progeny. But Kevin wasn't 114 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.360 done with his mom. And then what did you do after that? Then? 115 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.919 I had sex with her? Course, did you come inside her? 116 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.000 I did? Actually have you ever done that befo the bad successory? No, 117 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.799 I haven't. Actually that was just the first time. Oh yeah, 118 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.200 I've lost my virginity to a corpse. The corpse Kevin describes losing his virginity 119 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.840 too, wasn't actually his mother. It was the great cat that he referenced 120 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.080 in this letter. You mentioned that you lost your virginity to a corpse. 121 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.919 Can you tell a little bit about that? What happened? Well, just 122 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.000 last night my mother, Yeah, okay, not somebody else you talked about 123 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.639 your mom? Yes, okay, so before that you had never had six. 124 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.480 Well, I guess since I'm being quiet about it, I might as 125 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.799 well tell you now. I. Yeah, it's on the note too, 126 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.240 the PS part. We used to have a gray cat named Claire. Yeah, 127 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.799 bcl is a thing of mine too, you know. And so I 128 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.639 I strangled it, I drowned it and then I cut it open and do 129 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.279 you know the rest? And I get the rest? You had sick for 130 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.039 the cat with the cat? Yeah, dripped it open, stuck it in 131 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:05.399 there. Yeah. You ever hit shake for the life person? No? 132 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.919 Yeah, so that's your thing that having sick with the life person. That 133 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.600 doesn't turn you on is the dead thing, dead persons, that animals, 134 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.399 That's what turns you on. I don't necessarily mind. I don't have standards 135 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.279 or morals and bodies of body and in the end, a piece of meat. 136 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.519 I guess it's hard to say, but m hmm, but no, 137 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:37.039 I don't necessarily mind. In the words of Norman Bates, a boy's best 138 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.639 friend is his mother. The two often argued Kimberly was Kevin's biggest supporter. 139 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.080 He was her son after all, little did she know that Kevin had begin 140 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.279 to see her in a different way. Should your natural mother logical mothers? 141 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.600 Actually she is my natural mother. I take after my father. Okay, 142 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:05.320 what's kind of thrill? Is appus by? I'd always loved my mother, 143 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.879 I guess in the wrong sort of way, but I kind of love. 144 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:16.960 I guess, maybe some rage, maybe just a little in Frodian stuff. 145 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.080 I kind of get where you're come from. Sure. Yeah. Something we 146 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:30.000 don't get into much is how messy. The actual act of necrophilia is your 147 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.639 muscles loosen immediately after death, releasing any strain on your bow and bladder. 148 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.519 As a result, most people both urinate and defecate moments after they die. 149 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.000 There's also a massive amount of blood and gore in most of these cases. 150 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.559 Regardless, Kevin dug right in afterwards he would need a bath. Okay, 151 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.240 did you change in the bathroom? Did you? I did? I even 152 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.759 I took a bath before then My penis really well that's a little personal, 153 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.039 but yeah, I needed to clean it up and so and then then I 154 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.720 changed. Yeah. Kevin admitted that he also intended on killing his sister Desiree, 155 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.639 but he had simply had enough, how about your sister? What's your 156 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.200 sister? Said? Uh, Desiree Hill, is he okay? She is? 157 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.000 Okay? Yeah? Where did you live? At? An apartment? 158 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.600 Actually very near here, that big kind of hispanic thing, I mean like 159 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.639 Spanish looking building. It's an old apartment complete. Was it a fantasy of 160 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.039 yours to kill her as well? And you write down on your note? 161 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:41.240 Oh? I did, actually, but I decided against it because while I 162 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:50.360 had my fill of killing, I didn't seem a little much, little too 163 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:56.240 excessive. Yeah. Desiree was also brought into the station to speak with detectives, 164 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.159 and she broke down upon hearing the news that her mother was dead at 165 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.960 the hands of her weird little brother and that she was also on this list. 166 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.799 Good mother she had no one was talking to I'm sorry, I had 167 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:15.799 very story. You're working a fat right now? Who's got both of the 168 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:22.720 boos? Yell ye? What your last seven sorty months? Let me just 169 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:37.919 ill no, like he's a police officer in New Jersey. Also, okay, 170 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.039 talk to me last night. But what time she told me. I 171 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.399 when Kenny got in a fight and he was just very disrespectful. I'm just 172 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.240 saying real hurtle things she call me, she said, she called me when 173 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.080 she felt stronger. Okay, who got in a fight with Kevin? Kevin 174 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.919 was just being disrespectful or something and uh, in the he was something as 175 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.440 simple as like, let this commercial came on for I don't know, like 176 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.759 the harmony or some day inside or something. And he and he just out 177 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.639 of a blue said, yeah, Mom, you gave up on love and 178 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.399 uh and the she said, no, Kevin, I didn't. I didn't 179 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.240 give up on love. But even if I wanted to find love and and 180 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:35.799 I couldn't and have anybody over because you're here, you know, I mean, 181 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.480 that's my mom. Really, she loves this kid, you know. 182 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:46.759 She was just it's not like they had a horrible like relationship. He just 183 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:56.039 m he just he really he really, uh you can't think right now. 184 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.159 He really has those issues. He was kind of born just different, like 185 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:11.840 he had severe ADHD. He really doesn't have any friends. His dad is 186 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.879 no good. You know. He handled it with me for a little bit, 187 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.080 and she wanted him back, you know, the one last chance, 188 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.720 like we can make this right, to start going to school and stuff. 189 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.960 And she just bought him one hundred dollars jacket that she knew me just throwing 190 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.720 the floor just because she thought he'd like it. You know, she cared 191 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:34.240 about him. She didn't just she my mom's not cruel. No. He 192 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.679 would pop off up the mouth and tell her crazy stuff, you know, 193 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:42.919 like you know you fat, stuff like that, and she would just like 194 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.320 let it eat her alive, you know, like she's just she's really upset. 195 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.639 And I was just trying to calm her down. And she said, 196 00:16:51.720 --> 00:17:02.919 yeah, you know, when was the last time we start? Kevin should 197 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:11.279 face right now? The last time I stuck? Heavens when we went out 198 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.200 to eat, I heard my brother picked me up and what was that? 199 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.119 Oh no, I have to look that in own or something. But was 200 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.599 he acting just that? Was that? Or was he acting different, acting 201 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:29.519 normal? I'm really sure that this is just a spur of the moment, 202 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:37.079 the type of thing he's always had. Yeah, like when he was a 203 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:42.119 little out of nowhere, like he would just draw that was bad people getting 204 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:47.440 shot stuff like that for no region, have you ever threatened to kill you 205 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.319 or your mom? Never? We're gonna tell you this. We haven't told 206 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.960 anybody else. But he did make him. He wrote some notes before he 207 00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:02.279 did what he did we're worried about you because you're world the lives. It 208 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.759 was the worst day of Desiree's life, and beyond finding out her mother was 209 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:11.079 dead, her sick brother was intentionally fucking with her head. We'll kind of 210 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.160 let's talk about the notes that you wrote. How many notes did you write? 211 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.759 Three? Three? Uh? There was one in the living room. 212 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.160 Yeah, No. One was addressed to who desire my sister? Because I 213 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.559 knew she She's a good girl, but rather sensitive. I knew she would 214 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.680 lose her head if she kind of saw that. Do you remember what the 215 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:37.400 notes was? Keep your head hurry. She might still be alive, although 216 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:42.079 I highly doubt in parentheses and jumping along those lines. But when you wrote 217 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:45.720 the note you needed, your mom was already dead. Oh yeah, I 218 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.680 knew it was messing with desire by writing that that she might still be alive 219 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.880 in my sick sense of humor, and I was pretty well off my rocker 220 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:59.599 by then. Kevin left additional notes beyond the one to Desiree and the life 221 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.160 resident Nation noticed there was a third note you left for the police catch me 222 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.839 if you can. And then there's a second note in in your month's bedroom. 223 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.400 What did that one say, do you remember chase me? Was I 224 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:18.640 addressed to the police or to who I was? Just? I was in 225 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.640 a very playful mood at the time, Okay, I just I just wanted 226 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:26.400 to run. I just wanted to see how far I could get, don't 227 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:33.640 you. Kevin had concocted his disturbing plans in his head for a long time. 228 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.000 It eventually translated them to paper. But sometimes the best laid plans go 229 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.960 to waste. He couldn't control his impulse to kill, and now when he 230 00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.319 had made his getaway, he didn't get far before he decided just to give 231 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.839 up. Your plan was to leave town, according to one of the notes 232 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:55.720 that you were, Oh yeah, yeah, I've been gray the Greyhound. 233 00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.319 But I was gonna try to gather a state or anything. Really, But 234 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.519 I guess something else happened. You ended up at somebody's house. No happening. 235 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.839 I told you My playing was foiled because she wanted to She talked to 236 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.000 me. She said, my sister's going to come pick me up now, 237 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.079 like in a few minutes. Go over with her. And that's when I 238 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.480 said it's time to Actever, I see, I just went over there to 239 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.640 their house to use their phone, and then they wanted I was using their 240 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.200 phone, so I thought I might as well tell them when they asked me 241 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.839 questions, I mean they had questions, I'm using their phone? And where 242 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:33.200 was this that? What did you end up the Ultimately I ended up in 243 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.920 the backwoods of the ditch here in town or out of town Robstown in ros. 244 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.119 How did you get over there? In Corpus Christie? I biked halfway 245 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.119 and then I got to the train tracks and then I ditched the bike in 246 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.039 the thick woods, and then from the train tracks, I just walked, 247 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:55.799 okay, and then you came up to the was it deduct the first house 248 00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.240 that you saw? Or how did you? Oh? How did you go 249 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:02.960 to this house for to use the phone? Initially my plan was just to 250 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:04.720 run, run and run as far as I can, But then I ended 251 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:10.240 up crying my eyes out in like the thick woods, like oh what did 252 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:11.559 I do? And I realized, Oh, you don't know what you lost 253 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:18.079 till you've already lost it, And so I just I knew that my life 254 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:21.599 isn't going to go anywhere, not anymore, so I just kind of gave 255 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:27.880 it up midway. But what brings you here? Other than your life? 256 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:32.119 Is you just give up on life now? Is just you need to tell 257 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:37.160 somebody what half my fish it? I g Yeah, you're inside, It's 258 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.759 just you're you want to do one thing, but your inside, she tells 259 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.160 you more like your heart right talking out your heart. You feel sorry you 260 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:52.839 did just your mom in a way. Yes, but I when it takes 261 00:21:52.880 --> 00:22:00.720 back when I did, it's strange. Really I did love her in a 262 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:06.920 way. Does you mean to you? Oh no, Now she's been the 263 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.680 best matter. She is nothing that she did, absolutely nothing. Now, 264 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.559 if I was to ask you what does she do to deserve this? What 265 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.519 would you? Men? Absolutely nothing. I'm just I'm a terrible I'm a 266 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.160 disgusting person. I couldn't have said it better. A cruel, disgusting person 267 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:29.119 with no remorse for the disturbing acts he committed to his own mother. Please 268 00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:33.160 have the who, the what, the when and the where. The standard 269 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.400 questions had been answered, but they wanted to delve a little deeper into the 270 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.319 psyche of this human garbage that said before them, how did you come up 271 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:42.759 with the idea to kill her and have sex? Society? Had I come 272 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:48.079 up with that? Yeah, it's been a development, but you haven't gotten 273 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:55.000 ideas from games or videos or unit into that. Some of those dark games 274 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.759 something inspired me, but they did not necessarily plant the seed. Get me. 275 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.799 Didn't plant the seed, but they did egg me on rather, I 276 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.960 guess for just a book shoven up. Not necessarily I watched them. I 277 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:12.559 got Actually, I recently got into watching some some form movies, creepy stuff, 278 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:17.000 not necessarily mainstream war, the kind of stuff that you keep away from 279 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.759 them. Oh okay, ah, Yes, the old movies don't create psychos, 280 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.759 they make psychos more creative. You can blame the movies, blame the 281 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.279 games, Blame the parents, blame the schools, blame the system, hell, 282 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.160 blame me. It doesn't matter. In the end, some people are 283 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.799 just playing evil. The killing of Kimberly Hill didn't go quite as planned, 284 00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:45.119 and investigators posed an interesting question, what would be Kevin's perfect murder? Despite 285 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:51.480 how I ended her life, I'm kind of more fascinated by the more artistic 286 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:57.039 ways of murder and meticulous manner, the way they cut them open and just 287 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.759 like them pieces, I mean, such care, such love, and but 288 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.079 anyway, give me your friends, she had seen in the Little Always your 289 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.599 friends killing would be your age killing. This is a little peculiar among the 290 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:18.160 camps. Okay, I'm not surprised to what I'm winn here, But you 291 00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:23.759 kill me maybe dressing up in the nice suit, sneaking into her house, 292 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:32.599 disabling her boyfriend. No, i'd bring a pretty dress with me to dresser 293 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:41.319 up. Then. I was always into strangling. But after that last blunder, 294 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:47.519 I guess maybe something big and sharp would be more along, more along 295 00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:55.160 my thing, and I could I don't know, probably decapitator, as I 296 00:24:55.559 --> 00:25:02.920 prefer my women day dresser up. I'd stitcher up, kind of trying to 297 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.799 work the head back on perhaps, and then I'd go to town and it 298 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.240 would be a not to remember, and then I kind of just burn everything 299 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:18.799 and run for the hills. Despite facing potential punishment for his crimes, Kevin 300 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.000 Dwits showed no remorse and didn't try to plead insanity. In fact, he 301 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.240 assured detectives that he wasn't crazy and that given the chance, he would kill 302 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:32.319 again. At this point, what did your considering show? Your conshiger show, 303 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.400 I'm going to use a dirty word, okay, but I don't. 304 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.759 I don't need to insult you, Okay, do you consider you never need 305 00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.359 to disturbed. Do you consider you're so crazy? Do you what? Do 306 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:42.400 you consider you showed the heels? Or do you think you're okay? You 307 00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:48.319 just got some bestsels. I'm not mentally disturbed. I mean I'm saying and 308 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.200 I know exactly what I did. I know that it's wrong in the tradition, 309 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.440 in the traditional sense of wrong. It was just a fantasy had if 310 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.559 you had to carry it out, carry it out about you Now, I 311 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:07.400 feel vaguely but kind of like I'm done. So do you still feel like 312 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:10.680 like, well, you're done with your mom? Do you still feel like 313 00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.599 you want to keep on killing, to keep on you with other fantasies, 314 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.960 or well, how do you feel I came here to pay for my crime, 315 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:26.000 so I guess I should continue with the truth. The truth I would 316 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.160 kill again. I think you want to kill those? Oh now, rabit? 317 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:36.480 Men aren't my thing? Actually? Women? Yeah, okay, if 318 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:40.640 you have a girlfriend, I don't. I've never had a girl. Kevin's 319 00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:45.279 never had a girlfriend. Shocking. When post a question what should happen to 320 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:51.200 him now, Kevin give an interesting response. How about the idea I've heard 321 00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.160 of your shield? Do you have the same idea. Now, do you 322 00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:56.319 have the same idea that you want to hear your shill comit tru said no, 323 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.680 it so for me, I was gonna say the using whatever happens happened. 324 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:04.759 If there's not a happy andy for me, that childer, what do 325 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.079 you think should happen to you? What do you think yours should be? 326 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:14.079 Whatever the judge, the people Jerry Deans fit, I can rot, I 327 00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.759 can suffer for years, or I can forgive him the death penalty. Whatever 328 00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.759 they think push from. What do you think you deserve killing your mom? 329 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:29.960 I exact your mom, and I'm just there to rot and suffer. I 330 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.400 think it's just what it is. In the end, Kevin Davis was sentenced 331 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.880 to life in prison. The death penalty was off of the table because he 332 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.359 pled guilty to a murder charge and not capital murder. Apparently you have to 333 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.160 murder for financial gain and not in order to fuck your own mother's corpse to 334 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.359 be given the lethal injection. Kevin did have one thing right though. He 335 00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.000 deserves to rot and to suffer, and I hope he gets a living shit 336 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.960 kicked out of him by the other inmates every day for what he did to 337 00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.640 his mother. Currently, Kevin David is sitting in a cell in the Jester 338 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:06.680 for Facility in Richmond, Texas. Shockingly, he'll be available for parole in 339 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.079 twenty twenty four, but with his lack of remorse, he'll most likely spend 340 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.720 the rest of his life behind bars. He said it himself. There were 341 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:19.000 warning signs all along, ignored by those around him. Parents, if you 342 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:23.519 see your kids acting a little strange, investigate and definitely don't turn your back. 343 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:30.200 After all, who wants to end up like poor Kimberly Hill brains bashed 344 00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.200 as shit and turned into a sperm receptacle for a living monster. And maybe 345 00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:40.039 it could have been prevented if someone had sat her down and said these very 346 00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:52.319 simple words. We need to talk about, Kevin, I don't necessarily mind. 347 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:57.720 I don't have standards or morals through body for boudience in the end, 348 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:11.759 piece of meat. It's hard to say, but I would it takes back 349 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:19.680 what I did. This's strange. Really I did love her in a way. 350 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:45.480 I'm just I'm a terrible I'm a cruel, disgusting person. Part two. 351 00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:51.720 The Worst Hammer about a half an hour from my home. It's a 352 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:56.839 Danish themed tourist trap known as Salvang, California. People travel from all over 353 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:02.200 the world to this quaint little village to behold it's traditional architecture, ruza shops 354 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.200 and sample it's fine pastries and cuisine, or visit hands Christian Anderson Park. 355 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.920 On a sunny day, the streets are bustling with pedestrians, and though the 356 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.839 main road Mission Drive aka Highway to forty six is only a couple miles long, 357 00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:18.880 it can take you ten or fifteen minutes to pass through the village by 358 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:23.960 car. Due to the sheer volume of tourists. The Danish Days festival in 359 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.200 September drusts thousands of people. It's a cute little town. I recommend the 360 00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:33.279 abele Skimers if you choose to visit. Back in nineteen ten, about the 361 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.680 only thing you could find in the Sana Nez Valley was a beanfield growing behind 362 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:40.559 the old mission. About a year later, a group of Danish farmers decided 363 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.400 to move everything they had from the Midwest and come out here to this fertile 364 00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:47.640 valley. Well time has passed banks to some shoe planning an excellent climate, 365 00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:51.920 Solvang has become a very prosperous community and one of the top tourist attractions in 366 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.480 California. For a town that has a population of only twenty five hundred, 367 00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.720 Solbang has done very well for itself. More than a million and a half 368 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.400 people visit the Danish community every year. Hidden blow the surface, though, 369 00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:08.839 is our story here today, which the local tourist bureau would like to be 370 00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:15.200 buried forever. During the nineteen seventies, the Danish made restaurant on Copenhagen Drive 371 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.119 was a go to favor for locals and tourists alike. It was operated by 372 00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:23.400 Nis Christensen, who lived sitting at the counter and greeting his guests. He'd 373 00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.440 worked his way up in the restaurant business alongside his wife Anne Marie, eventually 374 00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:33.119 leasing another eatery called Margaret and Paul's before opening up the Danish Maid. Nis 375 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.640 was living the American dream and providing a good life for his family, including 376 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:44.440 his son Thor Nis Christiansen, partially named after his father and partially after the 377 00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:48.799 hammer wielding god of Thunder. Parents can do everything right, working hard and 378 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.839 trying to instill values in their children. Sometimes it doesn't take, and some 379 00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.799 kids are just born bad. That was the case with Thor. He had 380 00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:00.240 a good upbringing and was. He was a smart kid, but by the 381 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.400 time he got to high school he was one big loser. Sending it Over 382 00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.240 six feet tall and weighing almost three hundred pounds, he was an imposing figure. 383 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:14.119 His drive in determination in life never grew with his physical size, and 384 00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:17.599 Thor dropped out of school in his junior year. Rather than applying himself to 385 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.480 his studies, Thorpe cared more about smoking weed and drinking than lem me up 386 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.359 to the example that Niss had set for him. The two would butt heads 387 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.240 due to the disappointment that the hard working Dane had in his son. Thus, 388 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.400 Christiansen set off on his own, leaving the family home and the influence 389 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.119 of his folks. He found part time work as a gas station attendant, 390 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.640 but never really found his footing. Was it the booze, was it the 391 00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:45.039 drugs? Or could it have been the dark fantasies he began to experience after 392 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:51.720 the onset of puberty. As Thor blossomed into a man, his masturbatory fantasies 393 00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.759 didn't revolve around the typical fair of faucet posters that many boys his age got 394 00:32:54.920 --> 00:33:00.599 over at the time. Thor was obsessed with the concepts of murder and rape 395 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:05.920 in that order. Yes, Thor wanted to dip his hammer in cold blue 396 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.000 flesh. In his fantasy, he could do what he wanted and they wouldn't 397 00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:21.519 complain. Thor wanted to fuck. He wanted to fuck the dead, But 398 00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.440 how would he find his victims? Like mini serial killers in the nineteen seventies, 399 00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:29.119 he prayed on those who took advantage of the golden age of hitchhiking. 400 00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.799 Just thirty seven minutes from Solving is the college town of Ala Vista. The 401 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.559 main portion of its residents are students attending the University of California Santa Barbara or 402 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:44.920 UCSB. There are dorms where the students live, but Ila Visa is famous 403 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.680 for its party houses on Del Plia Drive. I spend a little time out 404 00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:52.559 here as a young man and played a few keg parties with my band, 405 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.119 and it was always packed every night. The streets are teeming with drunk teens 406 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:01.880 and twenty somethings, and it was this where notorious insel Elliott Roger would kill 407 00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:07.680 six people via stabbing, gunshot and ramming them with this car in twenty fourteen. 408 00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:10.199 But that was in the first instance of murder in the small community. 409 00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.880 In two thousand and one, freshman David Attias would kill four via driving through 410 00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.400 a crowd, as well screaming out of the window that he was the Angel 411 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:23.079 of Death. Years before these tragic events, Ala Visa would be the place 412 00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:29.760 where Thorndinis Christensen would pick up his unfortunate travelers. From nineteen seventy six to 413 00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:32.760 nineteen seventy nine, several young women who tried to thumb a ride from college 414 00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.400 parties would end up missing. In November of seventy six, shortly before the 415 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:43.039 Thanksgiving holiday break, twenty one year old Jacqueline Anne Rooke was sitting on the 416 00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:46.000 curb at the intersection of Patterson and Holliser and waiting for a ride. When 417 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:51.920 Christensen pulled up an offered to help her out. Rooke climbed into his audi 418 00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:54.559 and the two headed off into the night. She would never be seen alive 419 00:34:54.679 --> 00:35:00.639 again. Christensen proceeded towards her destination, but along the way he pulled off 420 00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.400 onto a dirt road. No one knows what kind of bullshit excuse he gave 421 00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.719 the girl for the pit stop, but Jacqueline must have been getting the feeling 422 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:14.079 right about then. Without warning Christensen pulled out his twenty two caliber pistol and 423 00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.360 shot the koh Ed in the head. He'd finally acted out in his dark 424 00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:22.400 fantasy. At least half of it now was for the real treat. Thor 425 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:28.559 stripped the corpse and proceeded to indulge in his necrophiliac desires. Have you ever 426 00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:31.840 heard of the term post nut clarity. It's the feeling men can get seconds 427 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:36.960 after ejaculation, a feeling when you know you just made a major mistake. 428 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.400 We aren't talking about an unprotected one night stand or hooking up with a shitty 429 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.440 x. Thora just crossed the line from drunken, druggy loser to murderous necrophile. 430 00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:52.239 How would he be able to clean up this mess? Many times as 431 00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:54.519 a kid, I went to Refugia State Beach. When you take the turn 432 00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:57.920 off, you can enter the state park where you have to pay for a 433 00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.480 day pass, or proceed down into the under where you can park your car 434 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:05.920 at the risk of a break in and walk in instead. However, if 435 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.519 you continue to drive opposite of the beach, you enter the remote area of 436 00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:15.119 Refugio Canyon. According to the Gaviota Coast Conservacy website, a picture does not 437 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.760 begin to explain the beauty of the Refugio canyon, the sounds of rushing water, 438 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:24.519 the birds, the moist green surroundings. It's truly a beautiful place to 439 00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:30.559 hide a body. After dumping Jacqueline's body somewhere along the canyon, Thor returned 440 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:34.519 to his apartment to get fucked up and relive the events of the night through 441 00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:38.519 masturbation. These horrific spank bake images would suffice until the urge to do it 442 00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:44.800 again became too much to handle. Nineteen year old waitress Mary Anne Saris went 443 00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:49.280 missing on December sixth, nineteen seventy six, after also trying to thumb a 444 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:52.599 ride from the Elavisa area. She was a spitting image of Jacqueline Rook, 445 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:58.320 average and unremarkable looking, with her long, straight hair, hippie clothing, 446 00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:01.320 and medium build. In fact, not to jump ahead too much, but 447 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:07.840 all of Christiansen's victims looked very similar, so much in fact that at the 448 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.880 time, in addition to being called the hitchhiker killings, local press dubbed these 449 00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.800 the looklike murders. Sarah's had been picked up by Thor after a shift was 450 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:20.440 over, and she suffered the same fate as her dead ringer, Jacqueline Rook. 451 00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.880 After Mary was shot on the head, her corpse defiled, she was 452 00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:29.519 dumped somewhere out in the countryside off of the one fifty four State Route one 453 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.559 fifty four, also known as the Chumash Highway and San Marcos Pass, as 454 00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:37.480 a stretch of mountain road that connects Santa Barbara and the Santienez Valley from starting 455 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.920 at the edge of the beach town. Its highest altitude rises to around two 456 00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.400 thousand feet. It's a beautiful yet somewhat dangerous drive due to people taking the 457 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:50.800 two lanes, often at too grade of a speed. Numerous vista points, 458 00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:54.239 pulloffs, and small country roads are found along the way. This cliff side 459 00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:59.199 mountainous region was a perfect place for Thorniss Christensen to get rid of a body 460 00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:02.639 or body after he had his use out of him. Christensen was able to 461 00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.599 control himself only slightly longer between the second and third girls than he had after 462 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:12.440 the first. In mid January nineteen seventy seven, twenty one year old UCSB 463 00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.639 student Patricia Laney disappeared. Her nude body was found in Refugio Canyon, less 464 00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:20.920 than two miles from where the police would soon find the body of Jacqueline Rook. 465 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.800 She had also been shot in the head, her corpse raped. When 466 00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:30.199 she wasn't studying, she was an aspiring actress and juggler. The UCSB Daily 467 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.679 Nexus newspaper from January twenty fourth, nineteen seventy seven, claims Patty was on 468 00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.119 her way to a dentist appointment. That was just hearsay. The truth is 469 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:43.519 even more disturbingly poetic. Friends and family described her as smart and very active 470 00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.760 in her community. In fact, according to her obituary, Laney was out 471 00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:52.960 posting flyers about the other missing girls when she was taken a few months later, 472 00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:57.159 in May seventy seven, the decomposed remains of Mary Seris were discovered. 473 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.360 Now the community knew not only did they have a missing girls problem, but 474 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:07.000 they had a necrophiliac serial killer preying on their coheds. That summer, Thor 475 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.880 was drinking with an underage buddy near Kuchuma Lake when they were spotted by park 476 00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:15.880 rangers, who called the sheriff. When deputies approached, Christensen shoved the bottle 477 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:19.559 in his trunk and closed it. Threatened with contributing to the delinquency of a 478 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.920 minor charges. Since Thor was of age at the time and his friend wasn't, 479 00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:25.960 Christiansen opened the trunk back up so the authorities could confiscate his alcohol. 480 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:32.639 Inside, they also found a twenty two caliber pistol the murder weapon. Unfortunately, 481 00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:37.079 they didn't make the connection to the looklike hitchhiker killings, and they let 482 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.719 Christiansen go, even letting him keep the gun. By this time, police 483 00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:45.159 had interviewed over one hundred people about the disappearances of the three girls, feeling 484 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.239 the heat on them, and that he had narrowly avoided being caught. In 485 00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.920 late nineteen ninety seven, Thor missed Christiansen moved up to Oregon. He stayed 486 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.119 up there for around two years. I wasn't able to find any information on 487 00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:00.480 where an organ that Thor was staying, but it is interesting to know that 488 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.960 the Oregonian newspaper wrote a story about cold cases from around the time, called 489 00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:08.480 the Ghosts of Highway twenty. From nineteen seventy seven to nineteen seventy nine, 490 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:13.800 the long wooded areas of US Route twenty in Easternland County, Oregon, twelve 491 00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:17.519 people went missing, with their bodies later discovered raped and murdered. I may 492 00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:22.679 be grasping at straws here, because John Arthur Ackroyd, a highway mechanic with 493 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.840 the Organ Department of Transportation, was to suspect in these cases and was eventually 494 00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:31.079 arrested and given five life sentences. He died on December thirtieth, twenty sixteen, 495 00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:36.880 at the Oregon State Penitentiary. I believe Akroyd was definitely responsible for some, 496 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.320 if not all, of these crimes, but it's pretty crazy that Thornis 497 00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:44.599 Christensen was also an organ at the time. Do you think a necrophile murderer 498 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.400 who could barely control his urges for a period of months could just quit cold 499 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:52.199 Turkey for two years, just taking in the beautiful Organ wilderness and keeping his 500 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:58.880 gun and his dick in his pants. Christiansen returned to California in nineteen seventy 501 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:00.960 nine, not to his home home town of Solving this time, but instead 502 00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:07.119 to the bright lights of Hollywood. In April in nineteen seventy nine, Thor 503 00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:10.199 was cruising the Sunset Strip, not for hitchhires this time, but for hookers. 504 00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:14.880 He picked up twenty two year old Laura Benjamin, a sex worker, 505 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.480 and trot her twice in the head. Before raping the corpse, Christiansen dumped 506 00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.400 her body in the San Gabriel Mountains in a culvert near Angelus Forest Highway and 507 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:28.519 Big to Hunger Road. When cohd's from a small university town, usually college 508 00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.719 students from good families go missing. People like Patricia Laney are motivated to do 509 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:37.360 things like hang flyers, and the media takes notice. But in nineteen seventy 510 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.840 nine, when a lost soul in the street saw Hollywood vanishes in the night, 511 00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:45.800 no one seemed to bad an eye. Thord found his new modus operandi. 512 00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:49.800 Who knows how many street walkers got into his audi, never to be 513 00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:55.719 seen again or reported missing, and that same month Thord strike again. Twenty 514 00:41:55.719 --> 00:42:00.199 four year old Lydia Preston was turning tricks on Hollywood Boulevard when Christensen pulled up. 515 00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:05.840 The two negotiated on price, and she climbed into his vehicle. Thor 516 00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:08.519 drove out to the Hollywood Hills and pulled over. He pulled out his twenty 517 00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:14.280 two and shot Lydia in the face. The twenty two caliber pistol is designed 518 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:17.239 for things like hunting, small game and pest control, and while any gun 519 00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:21.760 could be deadly to this point. Thor gun lucky with the ease of his 520 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:27.800 kills, but Lydia Preston was a fucking fighter. Not only did she survive 521 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.239 the gun shot to the head, she opened the door and immediately fled into 522 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:35.840 the night. Lard asked as he was Thor wasn't able to catch up to 523 00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:40.559 Preston, and he fled the scene in a panic. Serendipity when a series 524 00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:45.440 of chance events end up in a happy ending. I'm sure you've heard the 525 00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:50.039 term everything happens for a reason. It's a nice sentiment when talking about things 526 00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.159 like maybe how you met your spouse, but it's hard to stomach for a 527 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:57.880 parent with a sick or dying child. Sometimes the universe just has a strange 528 00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:01.840 sense of humor. In July of nineteen seventy nine, three months after being 529 00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:07.159 shot in the head by a necrophiliac serial killer, Lydia Preston was back up 530 00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.199 to her old tricks. Like I said before, this girl was a survivor. 531 00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:14.800 She'd needed to be, not just to get away from Thor in those 532 00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:19.679 hills that April night, but to get through a very rough life. Lydia 533 00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.119 was sitting on a stool at the bottom line bar in Hollywood, nursing a 534 00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:27.760 drink and contemplating her next move when in walked a man who had haunted her 535 00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:34.000 dreams every night since that spring. Thor nissed Christiansen. She turned away, 536 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.079 sure her mind was playing tricks on her, but chance a second look. 537 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.840 It was him, the man who shot her. Instead of freezing or having 538 00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:45.760 an outburst, Lydia waited until Thor sat down at the opposite end of the 539 00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:50.559 bar and dipped out to the payphone to call police. For the twenty minutes 540 00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:52.239 it took for them to get on scene, she couldn't keep her eyes off 541 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:57.159 of her assailant, worried that he would finish his drink and disappear into the 542 00:43:57.320 --> 00:44:00.000 night, never to be seen again and free to do this to another working 543 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:05.800 girl down the road. The sound of an empty pine glass being placed on 544 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.000 the hardwood surface. The stool scrapes the floor on the way back in. 545 00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:16.440 Oh no, he's getting away. Oh no. The door opens. Incomes 546 00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:22.039 a uniformed officer. Just in time. It's him, officer, it's him. 547 00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:24.760 This is the man that shot me. He looks confused at first. 548 00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:29.519 Does he even recognize her? How many others has he done this too? 549 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:34.039 It's a question I keep asking myself too, Lydia, how many others in 550 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:38.800 California? What about Oregon? We'll never truly know. Thor Niss Christensen was 551 00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:44.480 arrested on July eleventh, nineteen seventy nine, putting Ila Vista's worst fears at 552 00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:50.719 rest. The man responsible for the lookalike hitchhiker murders had been caught. Christensen 553 00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:53.199 went to trial in December for the murder of Laura Benjamin and the attempted murder 554 00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:58.400 of Lydia Preston. He initially pled not guilty by reason of insanity, but 555 00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:05.119 later change it to diminishsh capacity. Despite a psychiatric evaluation that concluded Christensen suffered 556 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:09.400 from intermittent explosive disorder and paranoia. Thor was declared fit to stand trial and 557 00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:15.599 was found guilty of first degree murder and assault on May fourteenth, nineteen eighty. 558 00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:17.519 He was sentenced to twenty five years to life for the murder of Laura 559 00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:22.840 Benjamin and nine years for the attempted murder of Lydia Preston. Christensen was then 560 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:28.760 set to Santa Barbara for a second trial for the UCSB hitchhiker murders. The 561 00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:31.519 trial began on May twenty eighth, nineteen eighty, just two weeks after his 562 00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:37.239 previous sentence. Having been declared sane by six out of seven psychiatrists, thorn 563 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:42.199 Niss Christensen pled guilty to all three murder charges and was sent to life in 564 00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:46.199 prison. The seventh psychiatrist, James Westwick, warned the judge not to send 565 00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:51.199 thorn to GenPop and that due to the necrophilia coming to light in the trial 566 00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:52.920 and the media, that he would have a target on his back for the 567 00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:59.440 other prisoners. No leniency was shown, and Christiansen was shipped off to fulsome 568 00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:06.760 prison where time wouldn't dragon for long for the necrophile serendipity when a series of 569 00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:10.760 chance events end up in a happy ending. On March thirtieth, nineteen eighty 570 00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:15.280 one, Thornish Christensen was out in the workout yard with the rest of the 571 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:17.960 general population. It was plain in the light of day, and he was 572 00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:23.880 surrounded by his fellow prisoners and guards alike. Suddenly a prison shank penetrated his 573 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:29.199 heart and he died instantly. No one fessed up or was accused of the 574 00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:34.159 stabbing, because in the end no one really cared. No charges were brought 575 00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:39.400 on any of the inmates. Good riddance to bad rubbish. By the end 576 00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:44.800 of the nineteen seventies and the early eighties, the dangers of hitchhiking in California 577 00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:49.320 were much more well known, thanks to men like Thornish Christiansen, Cameron Hooker, 578 00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.920 who we covered back in Season one, episode six, and Ted Bundy, 579 00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:57.119 who I'm sure will get to eventually. Despite a study in nineteen seventy 580 00:46:57.159 --> 00:47:00.280 four by the California Highway Patrol concluding that the action rual risk is much lower 581 00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:05.840 than the public's perception, these shocking stories have led many to stray away from 582 00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:10.440 thumbing a ride. After all, who wants to end up dead and posthumously 583 00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:43.400 at the receiving end of Thor's hammer.
