00:00:05
on March the 14th 2014 workers at a recycling plant in Anaheim California would a gust when they discovered
00:00:13
something that stopped them in their tracks they thought they saw a mannequin on one of the conveyor belts and upon
00:00:21
closer inspection they realized this was a human body the victim was identified as
00:00:27
21-year-old Jer e a sex worker from Modesto California I think that this was a person who probably sadly wrong place at
00:00:39
the wrong time because of the nature of her work as police link The Killing to The Disappearance of another three
00:00:46
missing women Steven Dean Gordon a convicted pedophile was named as the prime suspect Steven Gordon is one dangerous
00:00:57
individual he's molested children he's an abductor he's an allround Predator Gordon had formed a dangerous
00:01:09
friendship with another sex offender and the pair had been on a deadly Rampage I believe he's evil because he
00:01:18
looked these women in the eyes he saw them take their last breath and still that didn't make him feel guilty enough
00:01:24
to stop doing that Steven Dean Gordon had been unveiled as one of the world's
00:01:31
most evil [Music] killers in February 2017 Steven Dean Gordon was sentenced to death for the
00:01:59
Mur murder of four sex workers in California his crimes had begun 25 years earlier when Gordon had been working at
00:02:07
a family amusement park but beneath the facad he was hiding a ghastly secret it was his own sister who went to the
00:02:16
police accusing the 23-year-old of molesting her son he's convicted he's given 15 months
00:02:24
in jail and is a registered child molester over two decades on from his initial conviction detectives
00:02:33
investigating the murder of 21-year-old sex worker jeray Eep had linked Gordon to her
00:02:41
death it was a huge story and the media was all out there I can remember getting
00:02:46
the call a body's been found on a conveyor belt at a trash recycling facility Gordon realizes that the net is
00:02:57
beginning to close around him and he decides to leg it and cuts off his GPS tracker device
00:03:04
again and gets on a bicycle and leaves where he's working officers needed to act fast to
00:03:13
prevent any more women being murdered at the hands of Steven Dean Gordon this killer Story begins on the
00:03:23
third of February 1969 on the west coast of the United States of America Steven Dean Gordon was born in 1969 in
00:03:34
Lynwood California and moved when he was a small child with his family to Norwalk
00:03:39
California both in Southern California it was a pretty itinerant childhood originally they were in one
00:03:47
count County and then they moved to another Santa feake is a very suburban area south of Los Angeles very middle
00:03:56
class workingclass area he went to high school there it seems that he was quite a sickly
00:04:04
child he seemed to have a lot of health problems it said that he was bullied at school because of
00:04:15
that doesn't sound like he's ever really made any real connections never really
00:04:20
had a good circle of friends who he could count on for support and just really had low self-esteem as a
00:04:26
result Gordon's ongoing health issues also had a detrimental effect on his academic
00:04:34
life he missed an entire year of school due to illness and when he graduated from high school he chose not to go any
00:04:41
further in terms of Education when Gordon finished high school he went to work as a handyman at
00:04:47
a large amusement park in the area while Gordon was working at this amusement park he developed a
00:04:53
relationship with one of his co-workers the park was a world famous attraction and a popular destination for
00:05:01
families with children Gordon had been working there for 4 years before he faced a runin with
00:05:09
the law in the early '90s his sister accused him of sexually assaulting her child at first Gordon admitted to the
00:05:19
crime against his own nephew but then he went on to say he was actually innocent he claimed that his girlfriend
00:05:28
had been the one to force him to actually even plead guilty when he didn't do anything at
00:05:35
all after that he threatened his sister's life for uh filing those charges against
00:05:41
him Gordon was 23 years old at the time it was a strange thing to do but if he was sexually attracted to Children it
00:05:53
may have been difficult for him to get access to any children other than members of of his own family so maybe he
00:06:02
had a rapport you know the child knew him he was able to maybe threaten the child to keep
00:06:15
quiet Gordon was convicted and sentenced to 15 months in prison the 23-year-old was also
00:06:24
registered as a child molester when he was released he tried to live as somewhat normal or
00:06:30
law-abiding life despite blaming his girlfriend for making him admit to the crime in 1995
00:06:39
the couple went on to get married by 1997 they have a daughter and um 2 years later in the late '90s they moved to
00:06:47
Riverside California there were a lot of problems in their marriage and just in his life
00:06:52
in general he was becoming more and more irritable as the days went on because of
00:06:58
variety of Financial and domestic issues his wife is trying to keep him going he's threatening to kill himself
00:07:06
or hire a hitman of all unlikely things to kill him so that she can get the insurance money it's it's it's Slightly
00:07:15
bizarre I think this shows how out of control he felt in life how powerless to influence things certainly to his own
00:07:27
advantage everything was a drama a catastrophe for him things slowly started to unravel in
00:07:35
their marriage his wife noticed that he had a terrible uh problem with anger the
00:07:42
smallest thing would get him upset and she'd had enough by 2001 she took their
00:07:48
daughter she left them and she fed for divorce when the divorce proceeding started there was an order in place that
00:07:55
he was not to have contact with his wife or daughter Gordon violated that order in August
00:08:04
2001 by turning up where he knew they would be when they go to church he temps the daughter into his car which is
00:08:14
repainted and put new false number plates on and essentially he abducts them fairly terrifying in every
00:08:24
way Gordon lured his daughter in with sweets then threatened and his ex with a stun gun forcing her to get into his
00:08:34
car he ties the wife up and subjects to some kind of ordeal he let his guard down at one
00:08:42
point and he allowed his wife to make a call she called her parents and they of course called
00:08:48
police it doesn't take long for the police to arrive and indeed Gordon is charged with two counts of kidnapping
00:08:56
wife and daughter Steven Dean Gordon was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison he would
00:09:06
go on to spend eight of those years behind bars and in February 2010 he was released the 41-year-old headed to
00:09:14
Orange County California an area with high rates of homelessness and poverty Anaheim and Santa Ana are the
00:09:23
two most populated cities in Orange County in 2013 three women completely disappear off the streets of Santa
00:09:34
Ana the first one disappears about 20 days later another woman disappears about 20 days after that
00:09:42
another woman disappears they're all from Santa Ana they all worked as prostitutes no one certain that
00:09:49
anything's happened to them they could just have decided to give up or go to
00:09:53
another state or do something different the first woman to be reported missing was 20-year-old Kiana
00:10:02
Jackson she was originally from Willets California in the northern California area she did uh go to college After High
00:10:12
School but after one semester she decided she wanted something a little more exciting and she moved to Las
00:10:18
Vegas whilst living in Las Vegas Kiana had started earning money by becoming a sex
00:10:26
worker in October 2013 K Jackson and took a bus from Las Vegas to the Anaheim area so that she could attend a court
00:10:33
date for a previous prostitution charge she checks into a hotel on her way to court she never gets to court she
00:10:42
disappears literally Into Thin Air her mom at the time said she didn't know her daughter was working as a
00:10:50
prostitute she filed a missing person's Report with police but police said to
00:10:54
her that she's an adult so really our hands are tied there's not much that we
00:10:58
can do the lifestyle of a sex worker is transient by Nature they often move around and they don't have any records
00:11:06
and they don't sign a lease for an apartment they often live on the street and it's very difficult to know whether
00:11:12
one of these missing women has just gone on the run or whether some harm has come
00:11:17
to them 17 days after Kiana Jackson went missing on October the 23rd 2013 another
00:11:27
sex worker disappeared from the streets of Santa Anna 34-year-old mother of three
00:11:35
Josephine Monique vas she had just attended birthday party of a family member and then said she was
00:11:44
going to walk to the store to pick up some items but they never saw her again initially her husband thought that
00:11:52
she was still with her family and then her family thought she was with her husband so there was a little bit of a
00:11:55
delay before reporting that she was missing the family of Josephine Vargas got out
00:12:02
there on the street they had missing persons Flyers with Josephine's face on
00:12:05
it and they were putting these flowers up all around the neighborhood she's disappeared they realize and police
00:12:15
acknowledge that there's been no activity on her credit card or on her bank card she's just
00:12:21
gone fellow sex worker 27-year-old Martha annah had seemingly known the missing woman 10 years on Martha's
00:12:31
eldest daughter Melody recalls that time she did mention to me one of my friends is
00:12:40
missing I believe that friend might have been um Josephine Monique Vargas because
00:12:46
it was around the time that you know that she had gone missing I was 12 years old my sister was
00:12:54
four about to turn five my mom was very close in age to me she's only 15 years older than me so I
00:13:02
feel like we would be able to joke around a lot she's like a best friend 20 days after Josephine went
00:13:11
missing on the 12th of November 2013 Melody's mother Martha sent a text message to her boyfriend before going
00:13:19
out to work that day her family were unaware of what Martha was doing for work we grew up in sanana I mean sana's
00:13:29
known to be like not the greatest City in Orange County I would say that back then Harbor
00:13:37
uh was known to have a lot of prostitution Harbor Boulevard in Santa Ana was where many sex workers would
00:13:45
wait for business Martha anniah was one of these women and felt safe being on the streets
00:13:52
there at night one time me and my mother were walking it was around like 8:00 at
00:13:57
night and I was like you don't ever get scared walking alone at night and she
00:14:01
was like no because I know how to fight she wasn't scared of anything when Martha didn't turn up the
00:14:08
day after she'd messaged her boyfriend about going to work her family knew something was
00:14:15
wrong Martha would message her mother Linda regularly throughout the day Linda then had a tough decision to make
00:14:34
how to tell her 12-year-old granddaughter that something was wrong I had gotten home and my grandma was
00:14:42
sitting at the table and she was crying and I was like why is she crying finally she told me I haven't
00:14:49
heard from your mom all day [Music] Martha was last seen in Santa Ana as well it was really sad because the
00:15:30
family had just had a very typical day with her before they were running errands everything seemed normal but she
00:15:36
left her home without her belongings and was never found again Martha and Nia's family started
00:15:43
posting Flyers around the area in the space of 5 weeks three sex workers had disappeared from the streets of Santa
00:15:52
Anna none of them had been found it's very stressful to not know what it happened to your loved ones
00:16:00
especially to your mom who you're used to seeing every day we did have that mind that you know there was a
00:16:05
possibility that she wasn't with us anymore but we did have hope on March the 14th 2014 in Anaheim
00:16:15
the neighboring City to Santa Ana workers at a recycling plant were shocked to discover something unusual on
00:16:22
one of the conveyor belts it's an extraordinary thing to happen but it's clearly a body it's
00:16:30
clearly a woman and she's clearly met a an untimely end local reporter Eileen fur remembers
00:16:38
finding out about the discovery that was big news that was big attention uh because it's not often you have a body
00:16:46
dump in Anaheim so I think that's what gathered the attention investigators struggled to
00:16:53
identify who the woman was the body didn't belong to any of the three missing sex workers a tattoo on her neck
00:17:02
was checked against a database held by police it wasn't until the detectives
00:17:09
started investigating and doing really good police work uh to make that connection and identify the body as
00:17:17
being that of Dre Eep Dre Eep 21 originally from adesto California was living in Anaheim and she
00:17:27
had a previous prostitution arrest in Oklahoma Jer was somebody who also frequented the Southern California area
00:17:37
and was known for her sex crimes and was actually well known to the police for this
00:17:43
reason jeray Eep was now the fourth sex worker known to have gone missing from the area in 5
00:17:52
months the four cases were now thought to be linked now the police are looking at
00:17:59
something more than simply isolated incidents in this area although only one body was found
00:18:10
the fate of the other three women seemed clear it wasn't long after that police
00:18:17
were piecing together that there was a serial killer involved and then then it blew out up you know everybody was
00:18:22
covering it now that the police think they have a murderer of sex workers the natural
00:18:30
investigative Avenue is to go back and look at other male sex offenders that are living or frequently living
00:18:37
frequenting or working in those areas where these sex workers have gone missing with the exact locations the
00:18:44
women were picked up unknown officers would struggle to narrow down whether any particular sex offenders were
00:18:52
involved a breakthrough in the investigation gave them a much needed lead police exam ined some of the
00:19:00
rubbish that was found around jer's body on that conveyor belt investigators also found a tube of
00:19:07
cocking with fingerprints on it they ran the fingerprints it came back belonging
00:19:11
to a window installer they brought them in for questioning and he said you know after finishing a job he would often
00:19:17
throw the waste in a trash bin in Anaheim right next to a paint and auto body shop when police looked at which
00:19:27
registered sex offend ERS had frequented that location a name immediately came up
00:19:34
Frank Carlo Frank Carno was born in 1986 in California he had ecma and Asthma as a
00:19:44
child rather sickly the family are not rich they moved to a trailer park in 1994 they're not conventional
00:19:53
Suburban Frank cono was also a convicted child predator a convicted pedophile something is going on in
00:20:03
carno's mind and believe it or not in 2006 at the age of 20 he molests his 9-year-old
00:20:14
niece when the police arrived canol told police that he molested his niece because he was sexually frustrated he
00:20:21
was a virgin and he was unpopular with girls Frank Carno had pleaded guilty to one count of child sexual abuse and
00:20:30
received a 2-year sentence after being in prison for 16 months Caro was released on parole in
00:20:38
October 2009 now in April 2014 4 and a half years after his release for the child
00:20:49
abuse conviction Carno had been linked to the body found on the conveyor belt at the recycling
00:20:56
plant he had been in the area of the that trash bin and he had also been in the area where Jer eep's cell phone last
00:21:04
pinged the last call that she made investigators wanted more evidence that Caro was involved before they could
00:21:12
bring him in for questioning they have cono under surveillance and they also get the
00:21:18
permission to wiretap his cell phone so they can listen to the calls they can look at his text messages and what the
00:21:25
police say they discover is just chilling the text messages found on Frank carno's
00:21:34
phone showed that he hadn't been acting alone in the 4 and a half years since
00:21:39
his release from prison Caro had struck up a bond with another sex offender and what they had done together in that time
00:21:48
was truly horrific when the police did their analysis they realized that Frank Canó
00:21:57
was in the same area as each of the four missing women when they went missing text messages uncovered on
00:22:05
carno's phone revealed that if he was the killer he wasn't acting alone the
00:22:12
conversations between him and another man many many conversations texts and the text messages detail their hunt
00:22:20
their hunt for women investigators were able to identify the second man he was another
00:22:27
convicted sex affair Defender 45-year-old Steven Dean Gordon Steven Gordon is one dangerous
00:22:37
individual he's not even um like a single offense Predator he's molested children
00:22:47
he's an abductor he's an allround Predator but how had these two sex offenders become friends
00:23:01
12 years before Jer eastep's body was found and Caro had been identified as a
00:23:07
suspect Steven Dean Gordon had been sent to jail for kidnapping his wife and daughter after serving 8 years of his
00:23:16
sentence Gordon was released from prison in February of 2010 Gordon is released from prison on parole with several
00:23:24
restrictions one that he can't go near his family um two that he must wear a
00:23:28
ankle monitoring bracelet and three that he can't be present anywhere where children gather and also he had to
00:23:34
register as an official sex offender he was on the sexual predators registry he had to wear a GPS tracker he
00:23:43
clearly had to check in multiple times with his parole officer a month it's very hard for registered sex
00:23:50
offenders to find a place to live to find work because they're very limited on where they can be so he manages to
00:23:57
get odd job jobs at this paint and auto body shop in Anaheim he lived as a transient really
00:24:04
he had no place to live the people uh at that paint not Body Shop allowed him to
00:24:09
uh sleep in his vehicle out in the back of the business it was while working at the
00:24:16
auto shop that Steven Dean Gordon met 23-year-old Frank Carno cono was also a registered child
00:24:25
molester and he too had to wear a Je PPS ankle monitor here you have two men one much
00:24:33
older one 17 years older than the other they strike up what will become an absolutely extraordinary
00:24:43
[Music] friendship I think they bonded a lot over their childhood difficulties cono also suffered from
00:24:53
multiple health issues as a child and was also extensively bullied they were both outside they both didn't feel like
00:24:59
they were part of a community and I think even more so than their possibly shared perversion for sexual predator
00:25:09
behaviors Gordon was living in a car at the back of the auto shop where he worked and with Carno struggling to find
00:25:17
accommodation Gordon invited him to live in the vehicle with him they both had problems building a
00:25:26
stable life for themselves they were both borderline homeless the nature of their offending I mean they were
00:25:33
ostracized from their family networks they shared this you know feeling that the world was against
00:25:41
them cono and Gordon lived in a car together for quite a bit of time on the one hand that could really
00:25:51
stress a relationship even if you really like the person but on the other hand it's also a certain type of bonding
00:25:59
their close relationship LED them to make a risky decision together Gordon and cono is so close and
00:26:07
they obviously identify with one another with the given their track records but they also want freedom and
00:26:14
in 2010 they both cut off their GPS tracking devices and leave for Alabama those ankle bracelets give
00:26:26
almost an immediate notification when they're cut off and so they didn't last
00:26:30
long on the run and ultimately were apprehended by federal agents in Alabama they got caught of course they
00:26:37
were brought back they did some time Gordon and Carno were both sent back to prison for five months for
00:26:45
breaking the terms of their parole but that didn't make them change their ways
00:26:50
and in 2012 2 years after fleeing for Alabama they repeated the same technique Gordon and Cano do the same
00:26:59
thing they do it again they remove their ankle bracelets and they take off this time they escaped to a very
00:27:06
family themed hotel in Vegas and basically partied it up there they were ultimately found at a
00:27:15
casino in Las Vegas that kind of um specializes in attracting families and children unlike most of the other hotels
00:27:22
in casinos in Vegas it's not a coincidence that these two sex offended ended up the one hotel in Vegas that's
00:27:29
known to have a bunch of children running around being that they both have a history of molesting and um being a
00:27:38
predator to Children it was probably a place that they both felt very stimulated by
00:27:43
because there were so many children around and families around and this is another person for each of them that
00:27:51
could share that perversion with and could understand you and wouldn't judge
00:27:55
you it was two weeks before the authorities finally tracked the two sex offenders
00:28:03
down on this occasion on the 8th of May 2012 both Gordon and Carno were arrested for
00:28:12
breaking the conditions of their parole they're both sentenced to P in jail Carno gets 10 months and Gordon
00:28:23
gets eight one in state prison one in Federal in a way that's they're cementing this extraordinary intense
00:28:32
relationship between these two men Caro and Gordon were back on the streets in early
00:28:40
2013 and the criminal pair were quickly reunited they hook up and start spending
00:28:47
much more time together and they start traveling around together they're back out they're still
00:28:53
wearing GPS ankle bracelets to be monitored in Gordon's case he was being monitored by federal probation and in
00:29:01
con's case he was being monitored by state parole agents as part of their parole
00:29:08
restrictions both men were ordered to stay away from other sex offenders including each
00:29:16
other but as their GPS devices were being monitored by different agencies Gordon and conno constantly being in the
00:29:25
same location as each other wasn't blacked cono and Gordon were basically living their own altered reality because
00:29:33
they were spending almost all of their time exclusively with one another and they really bounced off of one another
00:29:41
in terms of their ideas and their beliefs and here's this person basically justifying that what you're thinking and
00:29:46
what you're planning is okay and maybe even welcomed which is really scary because they found some kind of
00:29:51
community with one another now after the discovery of jeray E body carno's text conversations with
00:30:01
Gordon provided the police with an insight into the relationship between the two Predators they examine the phone
00:30:10
records between the two men and in particular they come up with the chilling remark that Gordon sends to
00:30:18
Carno in the wake of the Estep killing this is the best one yet in the text messages Gordon and Caro
00:30:28
referred to the women as cats or kitties Gordon thought jeray was beautiful he said cat is beautiful in
00:30:36
one of his texts uh he didn't want to kill her the text messages between the
00:30:41
two are just chilling as they decide whether she's going to live or die I think in some ways cono and Gordon
00:30:51
referring to the women that they hunted and killed as kitties it was that sort of feeling of predator and prey so a
00:30:59
kitty being an innocent prey and again that feeling of establishing dominance and power over these women also I think
00:31:06
just points again to the fact that they very much did not really view these women as human beings they did not have
00:31:13
any respect for them so almost treated them like animals it was clear the two men may
00:31:20
have been praying on women together before raping and murdering them police needed to act fast
00:31:28
they apprehended Frank Carno and then tried to find Steven Dean Gordon but Gordon seemed to know they were coming
00:31:36
for him police are closing in on the body shop where Gordon Works Gordon senses this removes his ankle bracelet hops on
00:31:44
his bike and takes off fleeing from the police a dangerous sexual predator was on the run from the law Steven Dean
00:31:54
Gordon had a history of removing his GPS ankle Monitor and fleeing to other states the police needed to locate their
00:32:03
suspect before he disappeared for good the police catch up with him less than a quar mile away where he tries to jump
00:32:10
off the bike he doesn't make a very far he flies over the handlebars and they arrest
00:32:17
him Gordon was taken to the station for questioning fellow suspect Frank Carno was waiting for a lawyer and therefore
00:32:26
not talking to the police investigators may have expected the same reluctance to answer questions from
00:32:35
Gordon after initially saying I don't want to talk he embarks on what is amounts to the most extraordinary
00:32:45
confession 13 and 1 half hours of conversation in which he goes into the most elaborate detail of what he and
00:32:54
Cara have done to their victims they started to hunt down women in particular prostitutes they would be
00:33:04
cruising up and down Beach Boulevard in Orange County and looking for the victims Gordon tells police how he would
00:33:13
pick up the woman in his car while Canó was hidden in the back seat once they were in the car Canó would come up from
00:33:20
the back seat and overpower the women they would then take the car and drive the women in the car behind the
00:33:26
auto body shop with they were kind of camping out where the women would then be raped by the two of
00:33:34
them Gordon described how Canó would strangle the women and he would punch them in the stomach to make sure the air
00:33:40
got out quicker so that they would die quicker they kidnapped them they raped them they killed them and they threw
00:33:51
their bodies out during the interrogation Gordon seemed to Revel in sharing the details
00:34:00
of the four murders there were times where he would get frustrated with the police for
00:34:05
asking him questions about the victims out of order and he would actually physically rearrange the photographs of
00:34:11
the women that they laid out for him so that they were in the order in which he abducted and murdered
00:34:16
them he was actually showing almost a sick pride in what he had done by correcting them and getting it right cuz
00:34:24
he knew he wanted them to get it right there was another shock in store for investigators when Gordon revealed some
00:34:35
unexpected information he also during that time brought up a fifth victim he said you're
00:34:42
missing one the Anaheim Police detective said you know she didn't want to show shock
00:34:48
but she was shocked everyone was shocked because they didn't know that there was
00:34:52
another person missing no one knows who that was or where it was there's no evidence and
00:34:59
again there's no body only one body had been found but with Gordon's confessions investigators
00:35:07
were sure that all four missing women had been killed Frank Carno and Steven Dean
00:35:14
Gordon were both charged with four counts of murder Melody annah remembers being
00:35:23
given news about her mother Martha as soon as I found out how my mom was murdered I couldn't help but to picture
00:35:32
like her last moments it just made me very angry I had read about how she was the one that
00:35:39
fought the most for her life and it the flashbacks of her telling me I know how to fight like I'm okay like nothing's
00:35:45
going to happen to me came into my head and it made me think like wow you never really think this kind of stuff is going
00:35:50
to happen to you but there's always that chance one of the hardest things Linda
00:35:57
had to do do was to tell Martha's 5-year-old daughter the truth [Music] Gordon's trial commenced on November the
00:36:30
16th 2016 the 47-year-old decided to represent himself in court but this time his story changes he
00:36:42
says no no Carno was responsible for planning this I was merely following on I had nothing to do with it I wasn't the
00:36:51
initiator this is like the ultimate control for Gordon he's in control of the courtroom everybody's listening to
00:36:59
what he has to say everybody's watching him he can call who he wants to the stand to me it seemed like he relished
00:37:06
in the moment during his trial Gordon blamed his probation officers for not keeping a
00:37:15
closer eye on him and tracking him he believe that they should be monitoring me more
00:37:21
carefully they both knew that they shouldn't be consorting with each other they both knew that was a violation of
00:37:26
their parole and they kept doing it it anyway for him to confess to having murdered all these women and then try to
00:37:33
blame all these other people for it is a little disingenuous Melody anayah who was now
00:37:41
15 years old was living out of the country during Gordon's trial I really wish I would have
00:37:49
attended I I had a lot to say he watched women die so I would have just wanted to
00:37:55
express to him like how it affected me just to let him hear it I would have just wanted to let that
00:38:02
out and let him know you know I don't have my mom anymore my little sister doesn't have her mom
00:38:07
[Music] anymore on December the 15th 2016 the jury returned their [Music] verdict it took jurors just about an
00:38:37
hour before coming back with a decision on Steven Gordon before the jurors came in he
00:38:44
laughed a little the jury don't hesitate in confirming Gordon's guilt and in a most
00:38:52
remarkable Outburst he then says to the court and I quote if you kill people like this in
00:39:01
Cold Blood you deserve to die I believe that and went on my actions are evil and
00:39:09
horrible and you're going to get your Justice very shortly on February the 3rd
00:39:16
2017 Steven Dean Gordon was sentenced to death he doesn't complain at all when he
00:39:25
sentenced to death in fact he accepts it he's sent to death row in s Quentin in
00:39:31
California Gordon he got the death penalty but obviously to me and the other families that's not fair like you
00:39:40
know we're never going to get our loved ones back and it'll never really be
00:39:44
fair Frank Carno was tried separately and in 2022 he was handed his punishment Caro finally pleads guilty to
00:39:55
the four rapes and murders but he's done a deal with the district attorney that if he confesses and pleads
00:40:04
guilty they won't ask for the death penalty so he's effectively saying whole
00:40:09
life in prison Justice may have been served in the eyes of the law but the families
00:40:19
were left with unanswered questions the only body that was ever found was J the bodies of the three other women were
00:40:29
never found they are believed to be in the Brea landfill and in fact Martha annia's family that's where they held a
00:40:37
memorial for was at the landfill that was the last known place where they believe she is
00:41:02
kava during his police interview Gordon had confessed to an additional murder the fifth victim was identified as sable
00:41:12
picket 19 years old from Compton which is located in Los Angeles County her body was never found
00:41:24
either people like Gordon are evil they're just they're kill machines they
00:41:28
spend their whole lives doing this until they're caught that's kind of the easiest way to
00:41:33
think of these people they just evil personify five women lost their lives at the hands of Steven Dean
00:41:42
Gordon if he hadn't been caught when he was there may have been more victims I believe he's evil because you
00:41:53
know he looked these women in the eyes he saw them take their last breath and still that didn't make him feel guilty
00:41:59
enough to stop doing [Music] that I'm glad this isn't going to happen to any other women the only thing as
00:42:07
selfish as it is like I wish it wouldn't have been my mom the person that I needed more than anything in this
00:42:17
world Steven Dean Gordon sexually molested a child and then formed a bond with another child predator working
00:42:26
together the they acted out their sick perversions resulting in abduction rape and the murder of five innocent women
00:42:35
Steven Dean Gordon will forever be known as one of the world's most evil killers
00:42:44
