WOMAN: Onlookers held
their noses as

police investigators
unearthed two bodies

from shallow graves in
a suburban Denver backyard.

MAN: There's a thing
inside of me.

It's like...

the appetite.

It's like a wolf that's...

feeling...the hunger.

MORGAN: They don't know
what he's alluding to,

so it's an example of
the psychological teaser,

uh, when he's saying, you know,

this whole thing could have
stopped a long time ago.

What is it he's going
to reveal?

So it's part of that
dynamic of

being in control of doling
out information.

He's basically spreading
his peacock feathers in

a sense here by saying,
"Nothing can stop me.

"I can't stop myself.

"The only thing that's gonna
stop me is if I die,

basically, or you lock me
up forever."

There's nothing that convinces
me that this is accidental.

He demonstrates no remorse.

He's unable to explain
how it happened.

One minute, they're sitting
there laughing, and the next

minute, his friend
has a hole in his head,

as he put it, and rather than
call 911 or try to

get his friend help,
if it were an accident,

he instead cleans up the mess
and seemingly tries to get rid

of any evidence that might
point the finger at him.

It's common in speaking with

people who suffer
from psychopathy,

they'll comment
on just basic needs,

like, I figured I might
get arrested,

so I thought, "I'll go out
and have sex first,

because it might be a long
time if I get arrested."

It seems very childlike
thinking, like,

"Well, if I'm gonna get caught,
I might as well eat the cookie

I just took out of
the cookie jar."

RAGHAVAN: He makes
a distinction between Jason,

whom he claimed he didn't intend
to kill, and the prostitutes,

as he calls his other victims,
whom he intended to kill.

We found in studies
that look at why

killers target prostitutes
is they feel

that they're disposable,

and so that feeling comes from
sort of contempt, rage,

this idea that
they're ridding humanity, um,

of something unwanted,
something dirty,

and dehumanizing women
in order to

justify their ability
to kill them.

MORGAN:
She just had her hair done,

and she had perfect teeth.

It's not the identity of
the person

that really matters to him.

He points out how beautiful
they are,

so that is, one could say,
almost trophy-like,

and I would take that as
it's a point of pride for him.

He talks about basically
almost killing these women as

an act of benevolence, because
they're, you know, suffering.

He's basically
helping them out of

their miserable lifestyle.

He was doing
these women a favor.

But in reality,
he doesn't know

anything at all
about these women.

MORGAN: He's learned some
Bible verses,

and since he's gonna kill her,
they do that,

she goes to heaven.

It absolves him of
the responsibility,

and since he's saving her,

maybe he hasn't done a bad
thing, in his mind.

He sees himself
as the angel of death.

White is basically -- well,
he's shaming her or blaming her.

Um, it's her fault.

You're supposed to know
growing up, you don't

get in cars with strangers,
and she did,

so he wasn't able to protect
her from himself.

It isn't that he had
the responsibility to refrain

from killing her.

In psychopathy, we see
that in people like Mr. White,

it's somebody else's fault.

The environment happened to
them, it's not his fault.

She's disclosing
her fight with her mom.

She's feeling bad about it.

He clearly has no emotional
reaction to that other

than saying,
"Oh, that sucks."

And then he handcuffs her
and rapes her.

These are examples of
pure psychopathic --

the traits of callousness
and lack of remorse and cruelty.

MORGAN: When he expresses
those feelings for his victims,

um, it's most likely that
he's feigning them.

A little
empathetic response.

He doesn't feel that
it's terrible.

It's like
a narrative commenting

on, like, a tragic story.

But that has nothing to do
with how he feels about her

and anything that would
inhibit his violence toward her

or killing her.

The reason he targeted
prostitutes was less about

the fact that they sold sex

for money and more because
he believed that they were

neglectful of their children.

Why would White be so angry
at women whom he

perceives to be poor mothers,
on whether or not they were?

And one possibility is that

he had a neglectful
and violent childhood.

He does allude to a really

interesting idea
that he's been cheated on.

No matter how good he is
to women, they cheat on him.

He articulates one of
the features in people

with psychopathy, um,
Mr. White admits,

um, it's about power
and control

over the women
that he's killed.

There's either a payback
or punishment to women

for what they've done to him,

which, by extension,
means it's really not his fault.

Um, he's a victim.

What he seems to be describing
is intense desire to

kill and rage that keeps
growing and escalating.

It's powerlessness
that turns into rage.

Rage that's channeled as
contempt, so that he can then

dehumanize the victim, and then
the contempt that allows

him to play out these sadistic
fantasies and enjoy his moments

of power side-by-side
with this perverted intimacy.

And when he kills,
that dissipates

the rage,
and then it builds up again.

MORGAN: Just like a cat
playing with a mouse.

It's gonna kill it
maybe eventually,

but it's going to torment it
emotionally in that sense.

And that would be playing with
other people like toys,

that would come
to the callousness,

that ruthlessness, that we see
in psychopathy, where other

people are used
for our own pleasure,

and that's what
Mr. White was doing.

The thrilling part is seeing
life leave their eyes,

and with many psychopaths,

um, there's a progression.

There's something that seems
exciting at the beginning

that's not exciting later
as they kill more people.

He needs more stimulation
to get the same level of

excitement from an experience,

that level of neuronal feedback
that gives him

that sense of pleasure.

He appears to be performing
for the camera.

He -- he must know that he's
being videoed, and, you know,

he comes in and out of being
sincere, and this has

a performative feel.

Um, but there's also, I think,
this interesting grandiose,

self-righteous reference
to himself

where he sees himself as
merciful, because he doesn't

torture his victims, when,
in fact, he does,

emotionally does torture them
and sexually assaults them.

WOMAN: Onlookers
held their noses

as police investigators
unearthed two bodies

from shallow graves in
a suburban Denver backyard.

WOMAN: Richard Paul White
walks out of the courtroom

moments after he pleads guilty
to two counts of murder

and three counts
of sexual assault.

The result of this plea
bargain is that Richard White

will spend the rest
of his life in prison

without parole,
and there will not be a trial.
