20 hours of interviews you had with this guy like the worst rapist imaginable in
00:00:04
New Zealand history. You sort of bond with him. >> I think you're sitting in a room with
00:00:07
him for that long. You do get a kind of a feel that there was a connection. When

you come out of the interview room and you're a few days later and you remember
00:00:13
all the victims and you realize that you haven't really got a connection with
00:00:15
this guy at all. We just kicked off and went from crime to crime and he had explained what he did. He remembered all
00:00:20
these scenes with incredible memory. He knew exactly where the house was, what he did, what the victim looked like. Of
00:00:26
course, he started admitting to things that we didn't even know about. I had a
00:00:29
list of about 40 that I believed he was responsible
