Tonight, there are more
questions than there are

answers surrounding the death
of Melissa Millan.

Millan was a single mother of
two and a senior vice president

at MassMutual Insurance.

At first, police thought
she was the victim of

a hit and run.

But an autopsy revealed
something much more.

Millan's death was a homicide.

The medical examiner says
she was stabbed in the chest.

I would kill again.

They're dead, I'm alive.

I don't think
it was wrong.

The thing inside of me
is like...

the appetite, it's like
a wolf that's...

feeling...
the hunger.

Years later, a Simsbury
murder is still unsolved.

And now the state's cold case
unit is helping with

that investigation.

You know, he's making light of
a murder, talking about

watching cartoons when he's in
prison and was making a joke

about all the people.

He's someone who, he didn't end
up confessing until years

after the crime.

So there's also a level of lack
of remorse and callousness for

those years, at least where
he didn't confess to it

that I think are striking.

He's talking about the devil
and Jesus, and he's really,

in that moment,
potentially playing

to his audience.

It's hard to know if this is
Leverett distancing himself

from any real culpability.

It's easier to say,
"Something inside of me,

"some monster inside of me,

some demon or devil inside of
me did this,"

because then you don't
have to actually take

responsibility for the fact
that it was your own choices

and actions that did this.

Or, if it's more simplistic than
that, that it's really
just about

manipulating the people that
are lending him support right

now, and showing him
kindness.

What we have
here is someone that's
in anticipated

rejection, where at first
they blame systems and other

people for all the problems
that are going on

with the individual.

What we have, I think,
in Leverett is a burgeoning,

maybe sexually
sadistic psychopath.

I think we have someone who has
already been willing to violate

the sexual boundaries of
a child, who's now willing

to violate the physical
boundaries of an adult,

who disconnects himself
regularly, probably from

his group, probably from
his treatment provider,

and whoever this new person is
that's in his life.

The more you spiral through
your cycle, the more you're

willing to engage in any
misbehavior in order to feel

confident, in order to feel in
control again.

He wants sex.
For him,

everything about
his self-esteem is related to

whether or not he can have
sexual contact with someone.

In his anticipated rejection,

it's gotten to the point it
can't be consensual anymore.

It has to be taken by force.

And I think that's why
he has the knife.

This isn't a behavior he's done
before, but it's a behavior

he's fantasized about a lot.

He didn't realize how delicate
the human body is

and misinterpreted the timing
with which he could use

the knife to subdue.

So it's almost like she's
reading from a checklist of

signs of psychopathy.

And he starts to get worried
about this rejection.

So he capitalizes on this
opportunity, which makes

you wonder about his true
intention of confessing in

the first place.

Was it because he felt guilty
or he had some remorse

about the murder?

Or was it simply because he was
trying to salvage

the relationship and he thought
this was a way to do that?

He's now going back to
the scene where Melissa Millan

was murdered, and he's
reliving the incident,

he's reliving the thoughts
and moments leading up to it.

There's a lot more discussion
in this moment about

her sexual attractiveness.

And it's interesting that
the first place his mind went

as he's watching this female
jogger is not only a sexual

interest in her and that she's
attractive, but a sexual

arousal pattern that sounds
like it's activating
within him.

There's clearly a sense of
entitlement, as well as this

willingness to objectify
or reduce people, in this case

women, down to objects,
down to transactional needs.

He's not really interested in
a deep connection.

And that's the fundamental
difference between somebody

who's able to objectify others
and somebody who actually wants

to relate to others.

Despite being in his 20s,
he doesn't have a very good

understanding of his sexuality.

He compartmentalizes
the opposite sex.

He doesn't talk about them as
whole people, but he talks

about their body parts.

But he doesn't talk about them
as a whole human being.

He doesn't know how to
answer the question,

and despite saying he's not
very good at getting aroused,

he then turns around and says
he was aroused.

So what we see is somebody
who has a very troubled

relationship with
his own sexuality.

He has a troubled relationship
with his own arousal patterns.

It's just not clear that he has
any real or realistic

understanding of how to relate
to women, certainly.

When he says a statement like,
"The stabbing was very good,

the stabbing was very
accurate," you get the sense

that in some ways he's maybe
glorifying what he did,

that maybe in some ways he's
still minimizing or denying

the idea that he was
capable of really harming
this woman.

It seems more confident than
the Leverett we've seen over

the course of
these interrogations.

So essentially he's saying,
"I would have given up."

And what that starts to speak
to is really this idea that

maybe it is a game for him,
maybe it is a fantasy,

that this is all part of
a hunt and prey.

And when he doesn't get
his needs met quickly,

because again, we know this is
someone that struggles with

impulsivity, so he's looking
for instant gratification.

When he doesn't get it quickly,
he doesn't have the stamina
to continue.

What we can say is that
William Leverett is far more

predatory than he comes across
when you're looking at this

awkward, beat, young adult who
really doesn't have any

social sophistication.

But what lies beneath all that
awkwardness is a very predatory

individual who doesn't have
a deep connection or value

or meaning for human life.

A Windsor Locks man accused of
murdering a woman in Simsbury

is now pleading guilty.

Police say William Leverett
stabbed and killed 54-year-old

Melissa Millan while
she was running

on a trail in
November of 2014.

My feeling that I remember
that was most prominent

was severe mortal terror.

For some,
manipulation is a tool

to gain power and control...

...for others it's actually
about a game.
