00:00:05
up next
00:00:06
the peeping tom goes one step further
00:00:08
and commits
00:00:09
an unspeakable crime the scenario here
00:00:12
thankfully is not a scenario we see very
00:00:14
often this was someone
00:00:16
that was an avid window peeper and been
00:00:19
there before
00:00:20
for 20 years he eludes police and even
00:00:23
returns to the crime scene
00:00:25
the kitchen is the brawl the guy had
00:00:27
made his way back to the scene
00:00:29
to relive it eventually he goes one step
00:00:32
too far it's one of those aha moments
00:00:34
that you get
00:00:35
we assumed it would be a you know 14
00:00:37
year old kid
00:00:44
[Music]
00:00:46
on a stifling hot night in oklahoma
00:00:49
gary elwood went to bed early
00:00:53
[Music]
00:00:56
his girlfriend janet haynes stayed up
00:00:59
for a while
00:00:59
and went to bed later
00:01:01
[Music]
00:01:06
just after midnight they heard a noise
00:01:09
coming from the living room
00:01:11
gary went to investigate
00:01:15
she heard him scream for help she heard
00:01:17
noises she heard sounds of a struggle
00:01:20
this of course brought her to fully
00:01:21
awake almost instantaneously
00:01:24
janet ran to help but without her
00:01:26
glasses couldn't see clearly
00:01:29
she was able to tell us that he was
00:01:30
wearing gloves and
00:01:32
had underwear on
00:01:35
the assailant chased janet back into the
00:01:38
bedroom where she was assaulted
00:01:40
he would try over the course of that
00:01:43
attack to knock her unconscious to
00:01:45
to suffocate her to a point where she
00:01:47
would lose consciousness
00:01:48
she ben can say you don't have to kill
00:01:50
me he says yes i do
00:01:53
and i think pretty much she managed to
00:01:56
just talk him out of that possibility
00:01:59
after several hours the attacker left
00:02:03
that's when janet discovered gary's
00:02:06
lifeless body
00:02:08
now in a state of shock she managed to
00:02:11
call police
00:02:14
she was asking me is he dead is he dead
00:02:17
i know he's dead
00:02:18
he's dead gary elwood had been stabbed
00:02:22
to death police found his body near the
00:02:24
front door
00:02:26
he was only 27 years old gary was
00:02:30
evidently surprised in the dining area
00:02:32
of the house which was in the front
00:02:34
i noticed a crack in the sheet rock on
00:02:36
the wall
00:02:39
that was obviously done by the force of
00:02:41
being driven into the wall
00:02:42
it was almost an outline of his body
00:02:44
where he crashed into the wall
00:02:47
gary was divorced a successful
00:02:49
businessman with no
00:02:50
known enemies he was
00:02:53
a first class guy smart intelligent
00:02:56
knew exactly where he was going the
00:02:58
things that were important in life
00:03:00
cared a lot about people gary and janet
00:03:03
had been dating for only a short time
00:03:05
so she didn't know whether gary knew his
00:03:08
killer
00:03:11
her eyesight had some limitations and
00:03:13
the darkness of the room
00:03:15
contributed a great deal to that even
00:03:16
though she'd spent a significant amount
00:03:18
of time with him in the room
00:03:20
she said the attacker was in his early
00:03:22
twenties had blonde hair
00:03:24
was just under six feet tall and had
00:03:27
a scraggly beard police
00:03:31
across oklahoma were looking for a man
00:03:33
who fit
00:03:34
this description but some members of the
00:03:37
police department
00:03:39
began to question janet's story
00:03:42
we always questioned how a guy that may
00:03:44
be carrying his clothes
00:03:46
and stripped down his underwear carrying
00:03:47
a knife and blood all over him
00:03:49
you know where is he going to go and how
00:03:50
is he going to get away without somebody
00:03:52
noticing that
00:03:56
first on the scene to a gruesome murder
00:03:58
i found out that gary had been
00:03:59
murdered as we were watching the evening
00:04:01
news they would ask me
00:04:03
is there any possibility that gary was
00:04:04
involved with drugs the answer is
00:04:06
absolutely no
00:04:08
gary elwood was brutally murdered by
00:04:10
someone who broke into his home
00:04:12
in the middle of the night but the
00:04:14
motive didn't appear to be robbery
00:04:17
nothing of value was missing and the
00:04:19
victim's girlfriend
00:04:21
janet haynes survived the attack
00:04:24
what i found fascinating about that
00:04:28
was the fact he did not resort to
00:04:30
physical violence toward the victim
00:04:32
he was simply trying to subdue her he
00:04:35
didn't beat her
00:04:36
he didn't use profanity toward her he
00:04:39
didn't attempt to stab her
00:04:40
even though he could have very easily
00:04:42
done that
00:04:43
investigators started to question
00:04:45
whether janet haynes
00:04:47
might have known the perpetrator or
00:04:49
perhaps the perpetrator knew
00:04:51
her we thought it was possible it could
00:04:54
have been an ex-boyfriend or at least
00:04:55
someone who had
00:04:58
either trying to date her or something
00:05:01
like that
00:05:01
it's almost like he's trying to remove
00:05:04
the object between him and the girl
00:05:09
yet another unusual detail was janet's
00:05:12
description of the killer
00:05:14
she said he was wearing only his
00:05:16
underwear
00:05:17
and a pair of gloves it just didn't ring
00:05:21
right to any of us we really wanted to
00:05:24
just
00:05:25
verify that she was being up and up with
00:05:27
us
00:05:28
so janet was given two extensive
00:05:30
polygraph examinations
00:05:32
and she passed both times police look
00:05:36
for evidence
00:05:37
to corroborate janet's story at the time
00:05:40
luminol was just becoming available so
00:05:43
investigators decided to try it
00:05:46
their reaction was woo because they were
00:05:49
amazed at what it was revealing at that
00:05:52
time and
00:05:53
from that scene it got the nickname
00:05:55
locally here wu juice because
00:05:57
it was such a weird feeling to be
00:05:59
watching what's going on and we realized
00:06:01
what great potential
00:06:02
this luminol has the luminol was further
00:06:06
proof that everything janet told
00:06:08
investigators
00:06:10
was true all sudden you start seeing
00:06:13
footprints appearing in the dark it's
00:06:15
almost like you're walking in the
00:06:16
footsteps of the person
00:06:18
and the hair stands up on the back of
00:06:19
your neck because at that moment
00:06:21
you're seeing the actual direction that
00:06:23
this assailant had walked
00:06:25
and investigators found other evidence
00:06:27
to corroborate janet's story
00:06:30
the screen in the dining room window had
00:06:32
been cut the likely point of entry
00:06:36
under the master bedroom window in the
00:06:39
soft dirt
00:06:40
were some bare footprints from an
00:06:42
individual with a size
00:06:44
11 foot and investigators discovered
00:06:48
a faint fabric impression in the dirt
00:06:50
underneath the window
00:06:52
it's a pretty good detective work i
00:06:54
think if you you could tell that
00:06:55
they see a buttocks imprint on the
00:06:58
ground beneath the window it looked as
00:07:00
though that
00:07:00
person had spent quite a lot of time
00:07:02
under that window
00:07:04
from that window the killer had a clear
00:07:08
sight line into the bathroom
00:07:12
janet told investigators she took a
00:07:14
shower before she went
00:07:16
to bed to investigators this
00:07:19
told a story perpetrator in this
00:07:22
particular case was a window peeper
00:07:24
window peepers looked for victims of
00:07:27
opportunity
00:07:28
and once he discovered that there was in
00:07:30
fact a woman
00:07:32
inside that residence that's where he
00:07:34
decided to commit his crime that
00:07:36
particular night
00:07:37
because the killer entered the house
00:07:39
wearing only his
00:07:40
underwear and a pair of gloves fbi
00:07:44
profilers believed his target was janet
00:07:47
not gary and he must have believed
00:07:50
she was alone it was our opinion that
00:07:53
the target in this crime the primary
00:07:55
target in this crime
00:07:56
was janet he wanted to rape her that's
00:08:00
the reason the primary motive for
00:08:01
entering that residence to begin with
00:08:05
hazelwood believes the perpetrator had
00:08:08
never killed before
00:08:09
in this particular case we felt it was
00:08:12
panic stabbing
00:08:14
he had not expected to encounter gary at
00:08:17
that particular point
00:08:19
the fbi created an entire profile of the
00:08:22
person they believe
00:08:23
perpetrated this crime we estimated his
00:08:26
age to be between i believe 22 and 27.
00:08:30
his education we said he had graduated
00:08:32
from high school
00:08:33
he lived within walking distance of
00:08:35
where the crime had been committed
00:08:38
hazelwood predicted that the killer
00:08:40
would be so traumatized
00:08:41
that his weight would fluctuate and he
00:08:44
would look for a legitimate reason
00:08:46
to leave the area this was a frightening
00:08:49
experience for this
00:08:51
person because in our opinion he'd never
00:08:53
killed before
00:08:54
and that he and he did not intend to
00:08:56
kill when he went into that residence
00:08:59
but if the killer had left town how
00:09:02
would police find him
00:09:07
police believed that gary elwood's
00:09:09
killer was someone
00:09:11
who lived near the crime scene was a
00:09:14
window peeper
00:09:15
in his early to mid-20s and would leave
00:09:18
the area
00:09:19
after the crime inside the crime scene
00:09:23
investigators found some foot
00:09:25
impressions in blood
00:09:27
one had plenty of ridge detail your feet
00:09:30
and your hands
00:09:31
have unique fingerprints the dermal
00:09:33
patterns on your feet are unique to you
00:09:35
just as your fingerprints are unique to
00:09:36
you
00:09:37
on your hands all police needed now
00:09:41
was a suspect i went from door to door
00:09:44
have you lived here how long have you
00:09:45
lived here who you know in the
00:09:47
neighborhood
00:09:48
who you associate with the neighborhood
00:09:51
they found
00:09:52
one promising lead 18 year old bill
00:09:55
winters who lived two blocks away from
00:09:58
the crime scene
00:10:00
his parents had moved out of state and
00:10:02
left him alone
00:10:03
in that house he wasn't a big guy he
00:10:06
would have been just the right size to
00:10:07
get through the hole in the screen
00:10:10
as the profile predicted shortly after
00:10:13
the murder
00:10:14
winters left town to live with his
00:10:15
parents in missouri
00:10:18
during police questioning winters denied
00:10:21
any involvement in gary elwood's murder
00:10:23
and willingly provided a print of his
00:10:26
right foot
00:10:28
it did not match the bloody print found
00:10:31
in the victim's home
00:10:33
i was extremely frustrated not only is
00:10:35
all the weight on your shoulders because
00:10:37
this is your unsolved case but
00:10:40
it also weighs on the police department
00:10:42
too it's just something that
00:10:44
you can't afford to let go of
00:10:47
three years passed then an inmate at the
00:10:51
local jail contacted police about his
00:10:53
former roommate
00:10:55
bob johnson someone who came forward and
00:10:58
claimed that
00:11:00
their roommate at that time in 86
00:11:04
johnson had come home bloodied and said
00:11:06
that he had killed somebody
00:11:09
johnson's mug shot looked remarkably
00:11:12
like the composite drawing of the
00:11:14
suspect
00:11:15
he didn't fit the fbi profile but
00:11:18
his background made him a likely suspect
00:11:23
his ex-wife told the investigators that
00:11:25
mr johnson
00:11:26
had a significant drug problem and he
00:11:28
was conducting
00:11:30
those burglaries to help support that
00:11:31
habit
00:11:35
janet haynes identified johnson in a
00:11:38
photo lineup
00:11:40
she put the finger on johnson so i'm
00:11:42
sure at that point edmund investigators
00:11:44
clearly thought they had their man
00:11:47
by this time dna testing was standard
00:11:50
practice
00:11:51
so johnson's dna was compared to semen
00:11:54
from
00:11:54
janet haynes rape test kit
00:11:58
and his footprints were compared to the
00:12:01
bloody footprints at the crime scene
00:12:04
it was just a matter of days that we got
00:12:07
those results back
00:12:08
and conclusively excluded him as a
00:12:11
suspect of this homicide he it was not
00:12:13
his footprint
00:12:14
it was not his dna type that was left
00:12:16
behind
00:12:18
the case went cold again
00:12:23
investigators never gave up but they
00:12:26
were running
00:12:27
out of ideas
00:12:30
three years later on a hunch they
00:12:33
revisited the scene of the crime
00:12:35
not even sure what they were looking for
00:12:39
we go back into the house and we're just
00:12:43
looking around because it sat there for
00:12:45
several years
00:12:46
vacant was there anything they missed
00:12:50
something they hadn't thought of and
00:12:53
then
00:12:54
they found a potential clue right on the
00:12:57
floor in the kitchen area
00:12:59
is the bra it didn't look
00:13:03
new but it wasn't there the last time
00:13:06
they were inside the home
00:13:07
shortly after the murder was it possible
00:13:12
that this belonged to janet haynes
00:13:15
i verified the bra belonged to her
00:13:19
one of the things that is characteristic
00:13:22
of a lot of rapists is that they will
00:13:25
take a trophy
00:13:27
and one of the the trophies that
00:13:30
we felt that he took during time was the
00:13:33
female's bra
00:13:34
so i believe that the guy had
00:13:38
made his way back to the scene to relive
00:13:41
it
00:13:44
but if the killer had been back in the
00:13:46
neighborhood
00:13:47
it might have been only for a visit this
00:13:50
guy had some direct ties to the
00:13:52
neighborhood
00:13:52
somehow some way either relatives in the
00:13:56
neighborhood or
00:13:57
he had lived there over the next
00:14:00
18 years police checked dozens of
00:14:04
suspects from
00:14:05
seven different states none panned out
00:14:10
then in the spring of 2004
00:14:14
tv viewers in edmond oklahoma
00:14:17
saw this story scott eggleston says he
00:14:21
knew someone had been watching his
00:14:23
family for months
00:14:24
even taking photos through a crack in
00:14:25
the blinds we assumed it would be a
00:14:27
you know 14 year old kid but it wasn't a
00:14:31
kid
00:14:32
it was a grown man the father
00:14:35
came around the house and found a
00:14:37
suspect dressed completely in black
00:14:39
he had arranged an outfit
00:14:42
that was like a turtleneck where he
00:14:44
could pull it up over his face and he'd
00:14:46
just cut out holes for his eyes and a
00:14:47
hole for his mouth so he could breathe
00:14:50
and the man was barefoot
00:14:54
i've got a little adrenaline rush and i
00:14:56
said where are we
00:14:58
i came straight back to the station
00:15:01
pulled out a map and realized that i was
00:15:05
directly straight across where gary
00:15:08
had been killed almost 18 years ago
00:15:12
was this the man who killed gary elwood
00:15:15
and sexually assaulted janet haynes
00:15:18
almost
00:15:18
20 years earlier
00:15:23
pulled up his turtleneck to cover his
00:15:25
face
00:15:26
just started walking when police
00:15:27
arrested 40-year-old jonathan graham for
00:15:30
peeping into the window of a teenaged
00:15:32
girl
00:15:33
they suspected he was more than just a
00:15:36
voyeur
00:15:37
in his possession were items for a more
00:15:41
violent crime a bag was found
00:15:45
with several different kinds of knives
00:15:47
three pair of handcuffs flecks
00:15:49
cuffs condoms sex lubricants sex
00:15:53
toys lock picking tool bandana black
00:15:56
clothing which in our business
00:15:59
that's a rape kit police now suspected
00:16:03
graham was responsible for the murder of
00:16:06
gary elwood
00:16:07
and the sexual assault of janet haynes
00:16:10
crimes that occurred 18 years earlier
00:16:13
in the very same neighborhood
00:16:17
at the time of gary elwood's murder
00:16:19
graham was living with his parents just
00:16:21
a couple of blocks from elwood's home
00:16:23
and that's where he was living now after
00:16:26
a brief stint in the army
00:16:29
with a warrant police searched graham's
00:16:32
home
00:16:33
on his computer they found child
00:16:36
pornography and pictures of women
00:16:39
he'd secretly photographed
00:16:42
investigators took an inked print of
00:16:45
graham's feet
00:16:47
i remember i was just sitting there
00:16:49
thinking about that just
00:16:51
just yeah oh i hope this one works out
00:16:55
analyst jim stokes searched for
00:16:57
corresponding ridge detail
00:16:59
on the crime scene footprint and the one
00:17:03
taken from
00:17:04
jonathan graham i was able to
00:17:07
isolate an area on the outside of the
00:17:10
foot
00:17:11
that being it was a right foot
00:17:13
impression so it would be the right side
00:17:15
of the foot about midway down
00:17:19
stokes called investigators with the
00:17:21
news
00:17:23
i was really quite surprised and excited
00:17:27
yeah that was a pretty cool day there
00:17:30
was a lot of cheering on the phone so
00:17:32
i still remember the scream in my ear
00:17:35
finally graham's dna profile
00:17:38
matched the biological sample from janet
00:17:41
haynes rape test kit
00:17:44
it was like the weight of the world
00:17:45
being lifted off your shoulders it was
00:17:47
just
00:17:48
you can't describe it the fbi profile
00:17:52
had been remarkably accurate in
00:17:54
predicting the perpetrator's age
00:17:56
education and where he lived
00:17:59
graham also admitted he lost weight
00:18:02
after the murder and joined the army
00:18:05
where he worked
00:18:06
in military intelligence after he was
00:18:09
discharged
00:18:10
he returned to oklahoma i guess that was
00:18:12
his best situation
00:18:14
to move back into an area that he was
00:18:16
familiar with the same old neighborhood
00:18:18
that he once lived in
00:18:19
you know a decade plus ago
00:18:22
but why would graham return to the same
00:18:25
neighborhood
00:18:26
where he killed gary elwood decades
00:18:29
earlier and commit the same crime
00:18:32
of window peeping knowing that if he got
00:18:35
caught
00:18:36
he'd immediately be a suspect in
00:18:38
elwood's murder
00:18:40
and the answer is simply that he was a
00:18:43
window peeper and he was
00:18:45
driven to commit those types of crimes
00:18:48
that's
00:18:48
what was exciting to him and i believe
00:18:52
that he felt he would not be
00:18:54
caught why because he was so proficient
00:18:56
at what he had been doing over
00:18:58
all those years
00:19:01
prosecutors believe that graham stood
00:19:04
outside gary elwood's home on the night
00:19:07
of the crime
00:19:08
and watched while janet haynes took a
00:19:11
shower
00:19:11
[Music]
00:19:18
graham thought janet was there alone
00:19:20
since he couldn't see
00:19:21
gary from his vantage point
00:19:28
after janet went to bed prosecutors
00:19:31
think
00:19:31
graham removed his clothes and shoes
00:19:34
outside
00:19:35
then entered the house by cutting the
00:19:38
window screen
00:19:40
he made enough noise that he woke gary
00:19:42
who went to investigate
00:19:44
the two fought
00:19:48
then graham stabbed gary to death
00:19:52
and for the next few hours terrorized
00:19:55
janet
00:19:59
graham left clear footprints in gary's
00:20:02
blood
00:20:03
which later tied him to the scene along
00:20:06
with the dna evidence
00:20:10
facing a possible death sentence
00:20:13
jonathan graham pled guilty to
00:20:15
first-degree murder
00:20:17
and rape i don't remember much of the
00:20:19
incident
00:20:20
other than i pushed him against the
00:20:23
one of the walls and
00:20:27
i i didn't see it until i was told
00:20:30
last year i didn't know how many times i
00:20:32
had stabbed him
00:20:34
graham had no way of knowing that 20
00:20:37
years later
00:20:38
technology would eventually catch up
00:20:42
with him
00:20:43
the forensic science behind this
00:20:45
investigation is what sealed jonathan
00:20:47
graham's guilt
00:20:49
even without ever stepping a foot in
00:20:50
court over my career i've seen some
00:20:52
amazing things and
00:20:53
that coupled with good detective work
00:20:56
there's just
00:20:57
no end to what we can do we here in
00:21:00
science
00:21:01
in forensics we're here for the truth
00:21:04
we're not here for the prosecution we're
00:21:05
not here for the defense we're here for
00:21:06
the truth
00:21:07
he will spend the rest of his life in
00:21:09
the state penitentiary
