00:00:00
first of all let me start by saying that there is a 4-Hour police interview with
00:00:05
the suspect in this week's case it is a shocking rare and revealing look into the mind of a serial rapist this guy
00:00:14
redefines methodical predatory behavior he spent weeks stalking his victims watching their every move breaking into
00:00:22
their homes all before actually even striking now I frequently work from my home so I happen to bring the D DDS with
00:00:30
the interview back to my house and after watching it several times and taking my
00:00:35
notes what he had to say was so vile so disgusting so disturbing I hit the eject
00:00:41
button took the DVD out walked outside my house and dropped it in the garbage because I didn't want it anywhere inside
00:00:49
of my house now there are plenty of other copies around 48 hours I just didn't want that inside my house power
00:00:56
and control are a means to an end and even though what he had to say was fascinating and informational to FBI
00:01:04
agents and also law enforcement that's not even the point of why I wanted to be a part of covering this case to me the
00:01:12
driving force was to analyze the way that we treat victims how do police treat a victim how does society treat a
00:01:20
victim how do we as individuals treat victims and the way in which a victim is treated how that correlates directly to
00:01:27
whether or not the crime gets solved do we treat a victim as if they have lost something regardless of how you measure
00:01:34
that loss or do we sometimes treat victims as a suspect questioning their story questioning whether or not it's
00:01:42
the entire truth if somehow they did something to provoke the victimization by the person who attacked them that's a
00:01:50
question that all of us should be asking ourselves it's a question that FBI special agent Johnny grusing asked
00:01:56
himself while covering this case while trying to solve it so you may recognize grusing he's been in a couple of our
00:02:02
other shows we've worked on a few different murder cases with him but he said this was the first time he was
00:02:08
asked to head up a task force where the victims were still alive and the Clock Was ticking trying to catch this guy
00:02:15
before there were any more victims I can tell you personally it is one thing to read the horrible details in a crime
00:02:22
sheet of what happened to somebody but to have a victim sit in front of you and relive every one of those disgusting
00:02:29
horri horrible details that happened to them during the course of rape which encapsulates an awful lot of terrible
00:02:35
things that's something entirely different because you have to sit there as they're going through it you are
00:02:40
reliving it with them you're listening to it you're hearing about it and you can't even possibly IM imagine how bad
00:02:47
it was for them and yet it's just unbearable to have them have to go through the entire process all over
00:02:54
again so we want you to watch this week's case I I have to say when I sat down to write WR this reporter's
00:03:00
notebook I thought where where do I even begin this case was fascinating horrible
00:03:06
disgusting disturbing and yet it was also absolutely harrowing so watch the show but don't just watch it listen to
00:03:13
it listen to the way people talk about the victims and the way the victims talk about themselves it might change your
00:03:20
mind as always join us on Facebook and Twitter live during the broadcast I'm usually on Twitter sometimes I'll switch
00:03:26
over to Facebook let us know what you think and thanks again for watching 48 hours
