00:00:05
in September 2003 on the outskirts of Denver Colorado Richard Paul White was arrested on suspicion of killing his
00:00:13
closest friend that was a coldblooded murder uh bloody shooting detectives who questioned white quickly realized he'd
00:00:23
more than just one crime to get off his chest man you guys I so glad I'm caught
00:00:30
because I've had girls running down the street away from me in handc Richard
00:00:34
Paul White was happy to describe his brutal murders in graphic detail I tell you that parcking for just
00:00:42
punch in her face handc on a TI not to get up off the ground I think he enjoyed what he was
00:00:49
doing the more they that he'd do it the less he would have feelings about it
00:00:55
white blamed his violence on his childhood on God and on the innocent women he abducted and
00:01:03
attacked he had a real issue with women who didn't walk the straight in nrow
00:01:09
with four confirmed murders and many more traumatized survivors Richard Paul White had confessed to being one of the
00:01:15
world's most evil killers [Music] [Music] [Music] in September 2003 when Richard Paul
00:01:45
White made his detailed and disturbing confession to Colorado detectives it sparked a Statewide search for the
00:01:52
people he claimed to have killed he gave us a very detailed description of what had occurred
00:02:00
thinking about it the whole time as like drive hours with somebody in your car he goes into detail
00:02:11
about two bodies and where is disposed of a third he also maintains another two bodies have been dumped in a canal uh in
00:02:22
Lun we had these blood hounds from Douglas County come down and sniff I can't tell you if there were two other
00:02:33
women that he killed or if this is just something that he made up some of white stories checked out others may have been
00:02:42
nothing more than fantasy Joel Humphrey was one of the Denver detectives task with separating truth from fiction there
00:02:51
was no record that we could find of anyone being dragged to death behind a car and of course that is such a
00:02:57
horrific act that certainly be investigative records about it investigators soon realized that both
00:03:05
the crimes white committed and the ones he imagined were the product of an incredibly dark and twisted
00:03:13
mind this killer Story begins on the 29th of October 1972 in Denver Colorado Richard Paul
00:03:22
White and his two younger sisters had a miserable childhood their mother and father's volatile marriage broke down
00:03:30
when the children were still small his parents got divorced and then his mother took up with a drunken
00:03:37
abusive man who abused everybody beat up his mother kids would see the beatings and then he would force her to have sex
00:03:46
those kinds of things along with violence and neglect white and his sisters suffered
00:03:53
psychological torture at the hands of their stepfather he would engrave the initials
00:04:01
of you know the children on onto bullets and then hold a gun to their head that's
00:04:07
sadistic controlling abusive Behavior White's role with his sisters was he was kind of the protector and he
00:04:18
would do anything to protect those two girls as they were growing up white and his sisters did not enjoy a
00:04:27
settled stable childhood he moved around a lot I think he attended 23 elementary
00:04:35
schools and that would have created an awful lot of instability and inability to make friends at school to build
00:04:43
relationships with the teachers in his teens Richard Paul White lived with his father in the isolated town of Mita in
00:04:51
costia County about 5 hours drive from Denver the house there was poor with dirt floors
00:05:01
as white entered adolescence those around him noticed signs that all was not well with his mental
00:05:09
state white got his sister's pet parakeet and twisted its head off and threw it on the ground so the cat could
00:05:17
eat it cruelty to animals in children is just one of those flags that says there's something wrong
00:05:26
here white was laid to claim to the police that he committed his first rape when he was a young teenager in eth
00:05:34
grade if this was true it was just one indicator of the unhealthy attitude white was developing towards women
00:05:42
perhaps as a result of his experiences at home watching his mother be abused stay
00:05:49
in the relationship she was in you know the stepfather would beat her and then he would rape her and the next day
00:05:58
they'd go drinking again makes it look like violence can be a normal part of
00:06:05
relationships in 1998 at the age of 26 Richard white met 22-year-old Hazel at a bar in South Denver and he wasted no
00:06:15
time in demonstrating to her his Twisted attitude towards women he was just charming and nice to
00:06:26
me and asked me out on a date a couple times before I went the first date that we had we went out to drinking at the
00:06:34
bars and we came back to his house and he was violent that first night by like smacking something out of my hand got
00:06:41
really angry with me but then the next morning he like drew me a bath and got me flowers which is I guess kind of a
00:06:48
typical thing for abusers to do but I didn't know that at the time cuz I never
00:06:53
been in an abusive relationship so I forgave him and we kept on dating Hazel moved in with white whom she called
00:07:02
RP when I moved in there is when it got the abuse got worse and the control and it was a very abusive
00:07:11
relationship he would beat her I thought that it would like it was just like a one-off thing maybe he's just got angry
00:07:19
and it won't happen again but it continued to happen and and escalated to the point where you know he would if I
00:07:27
left him he was threatening to you know know kill my family or do something to my dad or my sister I was scared to
00:07:37
leave he probably would have absolutely meant that but it tells us what a controlling individual he is he sees
00:07:47
relationships as something he is an owner of control and violence became part of Hazel's daily life
00:07:59
it was pretty much an everyday thing that he beat me at first it was maybe in the face and
00:08:05
places where people could see and then he got better at hiding the the bruises like punch me on my legs or my back or
00:08:12
he'd Point guns at me all the time he'd make me you know give him you know
00:08:17
sexual favors with a gun pointed at me he raped me over and over to in 2002 the couple moved into Hazel's
00:08:27
father's vacant house in North Denver four years into the unhappy relationship
00:08:34
Hazel was doing what she could to cope I was smoking pots so that I could block out what was going on in my life and
00:08:42
drinking he drank a lot usually he was a little happier when he was drinking but
00:08:48
sometimes it would escalate that point I was working from like 5:00 a.m. to 5:00
00:08:53
p.m. and then going to college until 11:00 p.m. just so I could be away from the house as much as possible Hazel's
00:09:02
fear of her boyfriend was made worse by his obvious fascination with violence and murder orp used to read a lot of
00:09:11
books about serial killers that was kind of a hobby of his he'd like to learn
00:09:15
about the specifics about how they got away with it when he would read them or tell me about him he always had this
00:09:21
look in his eye that was really scary he was obsessed with one particular awful film that had been
00:09:29
banned in fact and he used to make hazel watch this film it was awful I hate watching that maybe think about what
00:09:38
kind of person he was or what kind of person would listen or watch those kind of things white also revealed to Hazel
00:09:44
that he'd given more than a passing consideration to the practicalities of getting away with murder he would tell
00:09:51
me about how he thought it would be so easy to pick up people who like prostitutes who
00:09:59
didn't have family members looking for them or you know no one would miss them and he could do whatever with them
00:10:08
he would kind of have this excitement about him when he talked about it though Hazel was terrified of white
00:10:16
she never suspected that his fantasies might become a reality in January that year a young
00:10:25
woman whom we're calling Tracy went missing from East kfax Avenue Less Than 3 miles away she was the mother of two
00:10:33
children she lived with her grandmother and she was last seen at a bus station on
00:10:42
kofax The Disappearance of 25-year-old Tracy who was blind in one eye left a hole in her family's life especially her
00:10:51
young children we had a little girl that was wanted to know what happened to her
00:10:56
mother she thought she'd been abandoned by her mother that her mother had just
00:11:00
left town didn't care about her birthdays didn't care about ever seeing her
00:11:06
again in the late summer of that year another woman went missing from the same stretch of
00:11:13
highway Victoria Tarpon was a gal that lived in Denver on these kofax with her sister East kfax is the longest street
00:11:26
in the United States the portion that goes through Denver has deteriorated it has deteriorated to the point that it
00:11:34
really that it is a place you would not want to go it is prostitutes people purchasing drugs and people selling
00:11:43
drugs Victoria Turpin was from Salt Lake City she had a criminal history she was
00:11:48
working as a sex worker she went out told her sister she's gone out for cigarettes but she decided then that she
00:11:56
had the opportunity to make some money as the mother of two approached a potential client a woman she knew a
00:12:04
fellow sex worker warned her not to go she advised Victoria Turpin that the individual that was picking her up had a
00:12:14
reputation among the sex workers for being violent she was willing to take that risk in order to get the quick
00:12:20
money so she could buy drugs she never came back Victoria was last seen on the 29th
00:12:30
of August 2002 she failed to turn up to her 33rd birthday party in September Victoria's
00:12:39
sister reported her missing but in reality it was not unusual for Victoria to disappear from time to
00:12:48
time the sex workers in Denver would frequently go missing or do frequently go missing and it attracts no
00:12:56
attention it is part of their life lifestyle that they may disappear for a while they may find another area to work
00:13:04
they may find an individual to live with may may be arrested and incarcerated the other people that they
00:13:13
work with are not particularly concerned about this because it is such a regular
00:13:17
fact of life less than a month after Victoria Turpin got into a Cent's car and
00:13:24
vanished another woman disappeared in similar circumstances an Alicia Gonzalez was picked up at Cole
00:13:32
fax and pearl she was 26 years old she had had a very troubled life she was certainly loved by her family she met
00:13:41
people that introduced her to drugs she became a drug addict and then she turned
00:13:46
to prostitution to find a means of getting the money for drugs on a regular basis after a short stint in prison and
00:13:55
a month in rehab in the summer of 2002 Alicia moved in with her mother and tried to stay clean but then in August
00:14:05
she told her mother she was going to go out and party just weeks after returning
00:14:09
to a life of drugs and sex work Analicia Gonzalez seemingly vanished Into Thin Air her sister became concerned after
00:14:20
she spoke to her on September the 9th and then never heard from her again there were things like birthdays and
00:14:26
things like that that her mother would would not have uh thought she would have missed and her mother was concerned she
00:14:33
was missing while the families of the missing women hope for their safe return in the Autumn of 2002 in a house just a
00:14:42
few miles away 26-year-old Hazel was in the process of breaking away from her abusive boyfriend Richard Paul
00:14:51
White finally I got the courage to uh talk to people about it start talking to people about his abuse I called the safe
00:15:00
house here in Denver and then I told my dad about it and I told RP that I had told these people I think he was worried
00:15:08
of being found out that he was an abuser and finally he said that one night I could if I didn't want to be
00:15:16
with him it was okay that he would leave it was not a clean break for months white refused to leave the home
00:15:25
they shared a house which belonged to ha 's father he didn't have a place to go
00:15:32
he didn't have a whole lot of friends and he didn't have a job at that time
00:15:36
anymore and when he left he kept calling me he was calling me at work he was calling me on my cell phone you know at
00:15:43
home I had to get a restraining order against him but by May 2003 Hazel's ordeal at White's hands appeared to be
00:15:52
over he stopped calling and stopped making threats while Hazel attempted to move on with with her life whites
00:16:00
appeared to have stalled I think RP was staying with his sister some of the time and also was
00:16:08
just homeless might have been staying in his car he didn't really call me hazel had nothing of her ex-boyfriend
00:16:16
for 4 months then one evening in September 2003 she learned that one of whites only friends Jason reichart had
00:16:25
died unexpectedly Jason reichart worked at a printing company with Richard white at one time
00:16:34
their friendship began there white met Jason in the late 1990s at a print shop in Denver he introduced his friend and
00:16:43
co-worker to his then girlfriend Hazel we hung out with him we'd go over to his house and hang out and and drink
00:16:52
and you know have barbecues and stuff like that Jason was a really sweet and giving man
00:17:00
he was fun to be around he was always nice to everyone I don't I've never seen him
00:17:06
like in a bad mood or or be rude to anyone I know Jason was close to his family he owned his own house and he had
00:17:14
a nice truck and you know he was friends with his neighbors he had a good job when Richard white left the printing
00:17:22
company the friends stayed in touch in August 2003 white turned up on Jason's
00:17:28
door step in Aurora a city just outside Denver he was now single and jobless and
00:17:35
he kind of was living in his truck and uh I think that Mr rker took pity on him took him in gave him a place to stay and
00:17:45
then he also got him a job at the printing place where he was working this happy demestic Arrangement lasted just a
00:17:55
few weeks on Monday the 8 of September 2003 27-year-old Jason failed to turn up for
00:18:04
work he was one of those employees who never missed and when he was late didn't
00:18:10
show up his boss got concerned he tries to call him can't find him and eventually contacts the
00:18:19
police they did a welfare check at his house and upstairs in a bedroom they found Jason's
00:18:27
body they found find Jason Reichard dead in a pool of blood in his bedroom the sudden death of Good
00:18:36
Samaritan Jason reichart was a shock to those who knew and loved him investigating officers worked quickly to
00:18:44
make sense of the scene he was shot in the forehead one shot right in the middle of his forehead
00:18:54
he was shot with a pistol the pistol was there still at the crime scene and at one point there was a question
00:19:01
was this a suicide or was this a homicide but there was no suicide note no shell casing nothing what is also
00:19:10
significant is that his car his Dodge car is missing things like credit cards ATM
00:19:19
cards those kind of things were gone things had been wiped down there had been an attempt to hide things like
00:19:26
fingerprints on the door knobs that type of thing so there was some indication it
00:19:31
was possibly a robbery there was no sign of Jason's temporary housemate 30-year-old Richard
00:19:39
Paul White the following day local media reported Jason's death as a potential
00:19:45
suicide hours later however White's sister contacted the Aurora Police Department with a different
00:19:54
story White's sister knew it wasn't a suicide White had told her it was an
00:20:00
accidental shooting that he had killed Jason while they were inspecting the gun and so she took him to a place in the
00:20:10
Pine Forest he told her he was going camping there but he was really hiding out trying to avoid being arrested it
00:20:19
didn't take him that long I think it was a few hours before they captured Mr
00:20:25
White back at the Aurora Police headquarters Richard Paul White stuck to his story that Jason reichart's death
00:20:34
had been an unfortunate accident he initially stated that they were cleaning pistols and it was an
00:20:41
accidental discharge he clean his bread I clean my CL one minute we're sitting there
00:20:47
talking laughing and next got a white insisted he had no reason to want his friend
00:20:56
dead no there's him and Jason help me out he'd let me sleep on the chch he
00:21:01
help me get a job you he was my only friend I did not mean to kill him the question in that investigation
00:21:13
is whether that gunshot was fired by accident or whether it was fired deliberately there were a number of
00:21:19
inconsistencies he initially stated it happened in one room he later changed that to to stating that it happened in
00:21:25
another room homicide detectives interviewing white did not believe his story of the gun
00:21:33
going off accidentally especially when he told them what he' done immediately
00:21:38
after Jason's death I jumped in his truck and his other car was in there I went to an ATM
00:21:48
machine took out $240 and then I ran around picked up some hookers White had used Jason's money to
00:21:56
cruise the red light dist District of e kfax picking up three different women before he called his sister and went on
00:22:04
the run this was a robbery he was taking advantage of somebody who had helped him
00:22:09
out and he killed him and then he took his belongings he took his money took his truck clearly was not an accident as
00:22:18
Aurora detectives probed Richard White's story to get to the truth they had difficulty keeping him on the topic of
00:22:26
Jason reichhart several occasions he interrupted them and said I've done this
00:22:32
before don't you want to talk to me about the other ones I could give you the world I could make your
00:22:39
day and finally they told him okay we'll talk about the other ones when the police officers finally allowed white to
00:22:47
expand on his claims nothing could have prepared them for what he had to say he tells the police he's
00:22:55
killed at least three times he also admits to abducting torturing and hurting other women as
00:23:09
well can't stop doing things I can't stop cruising it back I can't stop I
00:23:16
need this to stop I need to die or to be away forever Richard Paul White told the
00:23:23
police that he'd been abducting sex workers from Denver's East kfax Avenue
00:23:29
in horrifying detail white outlined his murderous routine he stated in each case he picked
00:23:37
up his victims off the street once they arrived at his house he would punch them
00:23:43
and knock them down at which point he would begin sexually assaulting them white described putting his victims
00:23:50
through a prolonged sadistic ordeal these women weren't just strangled to death they were tortured
00:23:58
for hours 24 hours sometimes they were handcuffed they were forced to pray with him he would go through these states of
00:24:08
Rage where he would beat them or he would strangle them almost to death and then he let them come back the whole
00:24:15
time raping them at some point then he would strangle each of them and then he would dispose of them and in a manner
00:24:23
that he thought they wouldn't be found during that conversation that initial conversation the number of three
00:24:31
became five he didn't know any of his victims and they didn't know him the
00:24:38
officers were shocked at the possibility that a serial killer could have snatched
00:24:42
multiple victims without anyone noticing Denver detectives including Joel Humphrey took over the investigation to
00:24:50
find out if White's confession held water he advised us that the first individual that he killed was blind in
00:24:57
one eye had a scar on her left arm he stated that he had abducted her taken her to his house originally his
00:25:06
only intention was to rape her he stated that first it was desire then it was power and then after he had raped her he
00:25:16
became concerned that she would inform the police about that and out of fear he killed
00:25:22
her white told detectives he' committed his first murder in January 20 2 he said
00:25:29
he'd then driven the young woman's body 280 Mi to costia County where he'd once
00:25:36
lived with his father he left her body in a shallow grave in the remote desert he did that with the intention of
00:25:45
her body being eaten by animals Southern Colorado in that location is not a lot of people nobody's
00:25:54
going to go hiking over her body or that kind of thing white claimed he'd made the 5-Hour drive
00:26:01
to check on the body a number of times been after several times to see up there St Richard white stated that the
00:26:12
last time he viewed her body the only thing that was left of her body was her pelvis four days after White's
00:26:19
confession detective Joel Humphrey went to MAA to search for the woman's remains
00:26:25
they found only animal bones still having no no idea if Richard Paul White was a serial killer or a fantasist
00:26:33
investigators set out to verify another of his claims he says two bodies are buried in the backyard of a house that
00:26:41
he and Hazel shared Richard White had told them that he had buried the victims in the flower bed that ran along the
00:26:52
north wall of the house consequently the homicide unit went out and excavated that area
00:26:59
area in September 2003 Mitch morisy was Denver's Chief Deputy district attorney
00:27:08
he attended the dig at the house where Richard Paul White once lived with his former girlfriend Hazel White had since
00:27:16
moved out so I walked up to the men as they were working in the trench digging and
00:27:24
they said they already had one body out of the ground and right next to me was a
00:27:29
wheelbarrow and in the wheelbarrow was a half opened suitcase a bag there was clearly a body in the bag
00:27:38
but it was packed in really tightly and it was discolored I've been to hundreds
00:27:45
of crime scenes and I've never seen anything like this the female body was exactly who homicide officers had
00:27:54
expected to find 26-year-old Analicia Gonzalez she was immediately identified because Richard White had kept property
00:28:04
of hers and he had remembered the name and he gave the name to the police when he made his
00:28:11
confession White had explained to police what he'd done after murdering Analicia
00:28:17
in September 2002 she was bleeding and he put a plastic bag over her face to try to contain the blood uh
00:28:28
tied her up so he could put her in a suitcase he then buried her in the flower bed that ran along the north wall
00:28:34
of the house there was still some remnants of that on her body when they did the
00:28:41
autopsy uh there was still ropes and things that tied her feet to her hands Richard Paul White's graphic
00:28:50
confession was being proven to be true and the grizzly discoveries at his former home did not stop there they had
00:28:58
a map that had been drawn by Mr White and they were told there were two so they're obviously looking for the second
00:29:06
victim she was in the ground with concrete on top of her with some difficulty the second
00:29:15
woman in the yard of Richard Paul White's former home was disinterred while efforts began to identify her her
00:29:23
body was taken for an autopsy and it became clear that she and Analicia had met a similar
00:29:30
end the question was how did these women die and that was pretty clear the cartilages in their necks were broken
00:29:39
and they had clearly been strangled to death not manually but with a ligature what the autopsies could not show was
00:29:49
how both the women had suffered at White's hands their bodies were too decomposed but the killer was more than
00:29:56
happy to supply the details he would talk to them about their lives or he would describe his
00:30:05
life to them and it basically would be an ongoing process of sexual assault casual
00:30:13
conf conversation sexual assault more casual conversation and praying sexual assault more casual conversation and
00:30:23
praying detectives couldn't believe what they were hearing an interview that had
00:30:28
begun with white confessing to accidentally killing his friend Jason reichart had turned into an horrific
00:30:35
tale of a serial killer and the demise of at least two victims White's former
00:30:41
partner Hazel was confronted with the fact not only that her ex-boyfriend was a murderer but also that he'd taken his
00:30:48
victim's lives in the home that she and Richard Paul White had shared I was I was freaking out I was
00:30:58
scared I didn't have any I was just freaking out like how could that happen how could that happen without me knowing
00:31:07
as well I suppose how could he do that like in my own house at least one of the victims had been held in the house when
00:31:15
Hazel was at home he tied her up and placed her underneath the stairs in a storage area that they had that was
00:31:23
walled off underneath the stairs kept her there all night out the whole plan that's like like to have your
00:31:33
girlfriend come home and know you got T B you know how long is she in the basement she a day a day or so little
00:31:42
longer but I don't know cuz RI moris didn't leave yet so I'm thinking little
00:31:48
more than 24 hours I knew he was capable of that and if he had said that he had done
00:31:56
those things to other women I knew that that was very possible to be true because he did the you know he did
00:32:03
pretty horrible things to me and I was pretty close to death in a lot of the situations and maybe because he had some
00:32:12
kind of feelings for me that I was spared I was very lucky to be spared on the 12th of September the
00:32:21
search moved 3 hours south of Denver to La hunter in Otero County local unders Sheriff Ken kimsey found himself drawn
00:32:31
into white story two of them he allegedly brought down to oo County and dumped them we
00:32:39
found out that his grandmother lived in Lun from visz in there his grandmother there he knew some of the places to go
00:32:48
and ended up going to that canal and dumping them I felt safety there I felt kind of
00:32:56
rural I think it's interogation you this canal is one of the bigger canals in that runs in O Terell County
00:33:07
and it's 114 miles long runs towards the Kansas so we brought some dogs out of
00:33:13
Douglas County and they were dogs that would sniff like for bodies over a year had passed since White had allegedly
00:33:22
thrown his victims off a bridge to dispose of their bodies we weren't really able to find anything
00:33:30
because of the time span but I truly believe he did dump him there why would he lie about that now on the 17th of
00:33:39
September while Ken and his team continued to search in Otero County white was formerly charged in Aurora
00:33:46
with his friend Jason reichart's death he'd not yet been charged in relation to
00:33:52
the women found buried in his backyard he was in the arapa County jail and he was going to be there until he
00:34:01
got convicted or acquitted in a trial so we had some time to put together our case once it broke in the media and once
00:34:13
there were pictures of Mr White in the newspaper on TV women that had gotten away from him started to come forward
00:34:22
and they had been raped by him they had been tied up by him some of them had had
00:34:27
been taken back to the same house where we found the other victims but had escaped
00:34:34
him during the initial interview of Richard white Richard white stated that he had abducted one woman sexually
00:34:42
assaulted her multiple times and that when he was taking her out of the house he had her
00:34:49
handcuffed and she ran from him fact Split Second she's running down the street
00:34:58
from my house with handcuffs and no copul so I gra the AR15 you know and I'm thinking okay this
00:35:08
is it this is the end he initially thought about shooting her that thought better of that and she
00:35:17
ran off and got away we were eventually able to identify her and we interviewed her three women
00:35:25
would eventually come forward to tell they had been abducted and violently attacked by Richard Paul white one was
00:35:33
able to successfully identify him from a lineup another LED officers to the house
00:35:39
where she'd been kept prisoner for almost 24 hours she attempted to appease him and make it appear as if she really
00:35:47
had emotional feelings towards him she also talked to him about music and how she liked Hard Rock and he liked Hard
00:35:54
Rock after the multiple sexual assaults concluded he drove her back and dropped her off and she
00:36:00
survived in White's interview with police he said that God would often determine the outcome for the
00:36:09
victims we have to pray together because two people come together in God's name
00:36:13
he'll listen I told her I was going to kill her she was terrified you know what
00:36:17
she went straight to heaven because we prayed we prayed before I killed her in December 2003 investigators were
00:36:26
able to identify by the second woman found in White's former Garden in North
00:36:31
Denver her picture was released and her sister came forward and advised us that her sister Victoria Turpin had been
00:36:42
missing a DNA match between a family member and the remains confirmed the victim was 32-year-old Mother of two
00:36:50
Victoria Turpin who disappeared in August 2002 after going out to buy cigarettes
00:36:58
in May 2004 Richard Paul White was charged with 53 offenses including the kidnap sexual assault and murder of
00:37:07
Analicia Gonzalez and Victoria Turpin as well as the sexual assault kidnap and attempted murder of the three
00:37:16
survivors when it came down to settling this case either through a trial seeking
00:37:21
the death penalty any of those kind of things there was a plea bargain that was made the still related to locating the
00:37:29
remains in ctia county of the woman White had admitted killing in January 2002 the da suggests that if he shows
00:37:40
them where the first body was buried they won't proceed with the claim for the death penalty White's cooperation
00:37:49
would also mean he would not be charged with a woman's murder he eventually took
00:37:55
them to where the body was what I remember is basically a section of her pelvis and part of her backbone and that
00:38:05
was that was about it and obviously there was nothing to indicate whose body this was the remains
00:38:16
that were found in September 2004 matched White's description of what was left of the victim's body that same
00:38:23
month Richard Paul White pleaded guilty to the murders of Jason reichhart Analicia Gonzalez and Victoria Turpin on
00:38:32
the 29th of November 2004 white is indeed sentenced to two life terms without parole and 144 years for the
00:38:43
attacks on the women who are lucky enough to survive him in early December 2004 he's given life without parole for
00:38:54
the murder of Jason rar Richard Paul White will spend the rest of his days at the supermax Centennial
00:39:04
Correctional Facility in Fremont County Colorado was just a sense of relief I guess knowing
00:39:14
for a fact that he would never be out he did write me a letter and almost in a almost a mocking
00:39:24
mockingly told me that I don't even like saying the word but he said I'm sorry I
00:39:29
I killed those hookers in your and in your house and buried them in your yard he might have written the words down but
00:39:38
I know that wasn't he wasn't sorry after his sentencing white sat down with a police artist to describe
00:39:48
the victim whose partial remains he'd LED police to in M white remembered clearly the facial disfigurement of the
00:39:56
woman he'd murdered in January 2002 when the drawing was finished a local detective recognized her
00:40:05
immediately he looked at the composite and he goes I know who this woman is this woman was a eyewitness to a
00:40:13
homicide that I had about six years ago he figured out her name they were able to go back to her family and contact her
00:40:22
children contact her grandmother and she had been missing for all that time the body was confirmed as Tracy the
00:40:30
mother of two who disappeared from East kfax early in 2000 and two with this final identification there was some
00:40:39
closure for the women's families as well as for hazel who had to process what her
00:40:44
sadistic ex-boyfriend had done right under her nose I just felt horrible for those women of their families and
00:40:53
remembered how he said that no one would ever miss them or know that they were gone but obviously people do and their
00:41:02
families did we contacted the families later on and did like a candle light vigil and the families came over to the
00:41:10
house and they were able to light candles for them which was good while Whit's surviving victims
00:41:19
continue to try and make sense of his devastating crimes the killer himself has expressed ambivalence saying that
00:41:27
while he feels anger towards sex workers he also feels sorry for them he expressed remorse he described
00:41:37
himself as an evil person and he stated that God was telling him to commit these
00:41:46
crimes I don't deserve to the I know that there's something wrong with me serial killer Richard Paul White's
00:41:55
worldview was dominating ated by ideas of good and evil people who were worthy of respect and good treatment and people
00:42:04
whose lifestyle meant they were deserving of brutality and pain this belief along with his own sexual
00:42:11
deviancy led to White torturing and killing at least three innocent women and likely even more white has never
00:42:20
explained why he shot dead his friend Jason but with four confirmed murders and many survivors who suffered at his
00:42:28
hands there is no doubt that Richard Paul White is one of the world's most evil killers
