[man] The thing
inside of me, it's like,

3
00:01:26,567 --> 00:01:28,567
the appetite,
it's like a wolf that's...

00:01:30,567 --> 00:01:31,667
feeling...

5
00:01:32,567 --> 00:01:33,667
the hunger.

6
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:42,667
[reporter] It was a crime scene
bathed in blood and tears.

7
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:45,467
That's what a police officer
said he faced when he arrived

8
00:01:45,467 --> 00:01:47,300
at a Northside
apartment complex.

9
00:01:47,467 --> 00:01:49,367
[reporter
a shooting sent officers to this

10
00:01:49,367 --> 00:01:51,767
apartment complex
in the predawn hours

11
00:01:51,767 --> 00:01:53,700
on the day after
the 4th of July.

12
00:01:53,867 --> 00:01:55,967
They were met by a woman
and several others,

13
00:01:56,133 --> 00:01:57,500
all visibly upset.

14
00:01:57,667 --> 00:02:00,100
I looked down and I saw
a small child with a --

15
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:03,266
a very gruesome head injury.

16
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:06,100
I took several, um,
looks back and forth

17
00:02:06,266 --> 00:02:07,300
to my left and my right.

18
00:02:07,467 --> 00:02:09,000
That's when I saw the male body.

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,767
[reporter 2]
A body later identified
as 26-year-old John Bones.

20
00:02:12,767 --> 00:02:15,567
The child,
two-and-a-half-year-old
Anika Gass,

21
00:02:15,567 --> 00:02:17,467
both shot in the head.

22
00:02:17,634 --> 00:02:18,867
In an adjoining room
was the body

23
00:02:19,033 --> 00:02:21,500
of 26-year-old Courtney Gass,
the child's mother,

24
00:02:21,667 --> 00:02:23,166
also shot in the head.

25
00:02:26,567 --> 00:02:29,900
[ghostly music playing]

26
00:03:36,367 --> 00:03:37,867
[Dr. Tussey] Here
we see Allgood

27
00:03:38,033 --> 00:03:39,867
acting like a deer
in headlights.

28
00:03:39,867 --> 00:03:43,000
He's acting as if he doesn't
know what's going on,

29
00:03:43,166 --> 00:03:45,667
like he's thrown off
by the investigator's question.

30
00:03:45,834 --> 00:03:47,900
But he's presenting
as if he's somebody

31
00:03:48,066 --> 00:03:51,367
who's an innocent bystander,
or who knows, maybe even

32
00:03:51,367 --> 00:03:54,600
a victim in this situation
that he actually created.

33
00:04:47,367 --> 00:04:51,367
[Dr. Sahni] The superficial
nature of Allgood's emotions,

34
00:04:51,533 --> 00:04:54,867
the displays of emotion,
the sound of emotion --

35
00:04:55,033 --> 00:04:57,467
they're inconsistent,
they're controlled,

36
00:04:57,634 --> 00:04:59,266
they're performative.

37
00:04:59,433 --> 00:05:02,166
And what's important to note
here is that while there's

38
00:05:02,333 --> 00:05:05,266
a high level of emotion,
he seems able to turn it on

39
00:05:05,433 --> 00:05:07,867
and turn it off as he needs
to communicate.

40
00:05:07,867 --> 00:05:11,800
And that's just not how
traumatized people react.

41
00:05:11,967 --> 00:05:13,600
If they're sincere,
they don't typically

42
00:05:13,767 --> 00:05:15,967
turn on and off
like a light switch.

43
00:05:57,367 --> 00:05:59,567
[sobbing]

44
00:06:22,066 --> 00:06:24,367
So just because people have
psychopathy doesn't mean

45
00:06:24,533 --> 00:06:27,867
that they are brilliant
at telling a great story

46
00:06:28,033 --> 00:06:30,200
and making
all the facts line up.

47
00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:32,266
So it doesn't make
any sense that he would go

48
00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:35,467
being from, like, confused,
disoriented, and he has

49
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:36,967
no knowledge of anything.

50
00:06:37,133 --> 00:06:39,600
And then we see these moments
of clarity where he's doing

51
00:06:39,767 --> 00:06:41,500
something very deliberate.

52
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:44,100
He's making sure it sounds
like he's still a victim,

53
00:06:44,266 --> 00:06:48,000
that he does not know anything,
and that Courtney is the one

54
00:06:48,166 --> 00:06:49,667
who's committed murder.

55
00:07:51,367 --> 00:07:55,967
Allgood is getting more
and more, you know, animated

56
00:07:56,133 --> 00:07:57,867
as time goes on,
his voice is rising,

57
00:07:57,867 --> 00:07:59,300
he's getting defensive.

58
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:02,000
We see often that
individuals with psychopathy

59
00:08:02,166 --> 00:08:04,900
start to get angry,
or frustrated at least,

60
00:08:05,066 --> 00:08:07,100
whenever they are no longer
in control or they start

61
00:08:07,266 --> 00:08:08,900
to sense that they're
losing control.

62
00:08:09,066 --> 00:08:11,266
I think that's what's happening
here with Allgood.

63
00:08:11,433 --> 00:08:14,200
He senses that she's not
buying his story,

64
00:08:14,367 --> 00:08:16,667
she's not trying to
understand him,

65
00:08:16,667 --> 00:08:19,567
and he's starting
to get aggravated.

66
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,767
The resounding reality
is that Allgood is trying

67
00:09:20,934 --> 00:09:22,367
to manage impressions.

68
00:09:22,367 --> 00:09:24,500
He's trying to control
the narrative that this

69
00:09:24,667 --> 00:09:27,867
detective has about
who he is as a person.

70
00:09:27,867 --> 00:09:30,300
He's throwing anything
and everything against the wall

71
00:09:30,467 --> 00:09:32,266
to try and gain credibility --

72
00:09:32,433 --> 00:09:35,400
he's telling her he's
the child of law enforcement,

73
00:09:35,567 --> 00:09:39,700
he's telling her that he lied,
and somehow by admitting

74
00:09:39,867 --> 00:09:42,567
to a lie up front, that means
he's really a truthful person

75
00:09:42,734 --> 00:09:44,266
because he's willing
to tell on himself.

76
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:49,266
These various versions of him
trying to control how they see

77
00:09:49,433 --> 00:09:53,300
him as a suspect is nothing
other than his own willingness

78
00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:56,367
to lie chronically
and habitually without thinking

79
00:09:56,367 --> 00:09:59,100
about the consequences
of what he's saying,

80
00:09:59,266 --> 00:10:01,567
that it can be disproven,
that it's inconsistent

81
00:10:01,567 --> 00:10:03,367
with what he said
five minutes before.

82
00:10:03,533 --> 00:10:06,900
And when he's confronted
consistently about the lies

83
00:10:07,066 --> 00:10:10,166
and the mistruths,
he becomes more and more

84
00:10:10,166 --> 00:10:11,900
glib and grandiose.

85
00:11:12,767 --> 00:11:15,367
Despite this insurmountable
evidence that's -- that's

86
00:11:15,367 --> 00:11:19,467
piling up against him,
Allgood is almost doubling down.

87
00:11:19,467 --> 00:11:22,800
He's tripling down and saying,
"No, no, no."

88
00:11:22,967 --> 00:11:28,200
It's a very unsophisticated
approach to engaging with humans

89
00:11:28,367 --> 00:11:30,467
and -- and to accepting
responsibility.

90
00:11:30,634 --> 00:11:34,000
And -- and in this case, he's
failing to accept responsibility

91
00:11:34,166 --> 00:11:36,700
and he's doing so
in any manner he can think of.

92
00:11:37,867 --> 00:11:40,767
[tense music playing]

93
00:13:00,567 --> 00:13:02,967
[Dr. Morgan] He's being a little
bit honest, he's opening up.

94
00:13:03,133 --> 00:13:06,467
I think that's to create
the impression of, well,

95
00:13:06,467 --> 00:13:08,967
he is being honest,
he's a little vulnerable.

96
00:13:09,133 --> 00:13:11,000
There might be something
sympathetic here.

97
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:14,400
He -- he might have been
victimized in some way, right?

98
00:13:14,567 --> 00:13:17,367
I think it's still in the big
picture purpose of trying to

99
00:13:17,533 --> 00:13:21,100
manipulate the interviewers to
get them away from the hostile

100
00:13:21,266 --> 00:13:24,767
view of him to something
that's more sympathetic.

101
00:14:43,700 --> 00:14:46,266
[Dr. Morgan] So he's not able
to intimidate the detective

102
00:14:46,433 --> 00:14:49,300
into agreeing
to his view of reality.

103
00:14:49,467 --> 00:14:51,467
So he morphs his strategy
a little bit,

104
00:14:51,467 --> 00:14:53,667
and then he finally goes,
"Okay, yeah, so I did shoot her,

105
00:14:53,667 --> 00:14:56,867
but she came at me
with the knife."

106
00:14:57,033 --> 00:14:59,367
Psychopaths -- the manipulative
part is gaslighting

107
00:14:59,533 --> 00:15:02,467
other people and controlling
how they view things.

108
00:15:02,634 --> 00:15:04,600
You have to remember, this is
not a man who's deep

109
00:15:04,767 --> 00:15:09,166
in mourning and in psychological
distress about that,

110
00:15:09,166 --> 00:15:12,266
this is a man who knows he's in
the room, and he's got to

111
00:15:12,266 --> 00:15:16,667
figure out how to play the odds
as best as he can to get

112
00:15:16,834 --> 00:15:19,567
the best outcome he can get
from the detective.

113
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800
What we know from a review of
the record is that there is

114
00:17:25,967 --> 00:17:29,200
some indication and evidence
that Courtney actually was

115
00:17:29,367 --> 00:17:32,567
getting ready to leave and take
their toddler daughter with her.

116
00:17:32,567 --> 00:17:36,667
So something happened in that
apartment that led to Allgood's

117
00:17:36,834 --> 00:17:39,900
ego being bruised --
he was somehow humiliated,

118
00:17:40,066 --> 00:17:41,266
he was confronted.

119
00:17:41,433 --> 00:17:44,166
Something happened
that caused him to flip,

120
00:17:44,166 --> 00:17:49,200
and when he flipped, it became
about him versus the world.

121
00:17:49,367 --> 00:17:52,000
Him being a father didn't
matter, his daughter didn't take

122
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,567
priority over his needs,
and when you see

123
00:17:54,567 --> 00:17:56,967
narcissistic individuals
like that, they can't

124
00:17:57,133 --> 00:18:00,367
handle rejection, they can't
handle their ego being wounded

125
00:18:00,533 --> 00:18:03,200
and so they don't have
any choice but to annihilate

126
00:18:03,367 --> 00:18:05,000
the source of that wound.

127
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,700
[pensive music playing]

128
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,266
[reporter] Christopher Allgood
is on trial for murder.

129
00:18:33,433 --> 00:18:36,200
Prosecutors say they will show
expert testimony later

130
00:18:36,367 --> 00:18:39,266
in the trial, proving
that Allgood's fingerprints were

131
00:18:39,266 --> 00:18:41,100
on the trigger
of the assault rifle,

132
00:18:41,266 --> 00:18:44,667
a rifle they say was used
to kill all three victims.

00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,467
[ominous tones playing]

"Do you want to [bleep] die?"

136
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:02,367
He cocked the gun and pushed
the gun up against my face

137
00:19:02,533 --> 00:19:04,400
and said, "I'm gonna
splatter your brains

138
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:10,100
"out all over this room,
and I'm not gonna go back.

139
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:11,967
"I'm gonna kill you,
and I'm gonna kill myself,

140
00:19:12,133 --> 00:19:13,700
'cause I'm never
gonna go back to jail again."

[witness] Standing there
with him holding me with a knife

142
00:19:15,734 --> 00:19:20,166
against my stomach like that,
he proceeded to grab me

143
00:19:20,166 --> 00:19:23,967
and hold a knife to my throat,
and I started screaming

144
00:19:24,133 --> 00:19:26,967
at that point because
I was very scared.

145
00:19:31,567 --> 00:19:32,900
[Dr. Sahni] We know that
Allgood's history

146
00:19:33,066 --> 00:19:35,967
of domestic violence is
well-established.

147
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:38,166
He spent 10 days in jail
for pleading no contest

148
00:19:38,333 --> 00:19:39,867
to terrorist threats.

149
00:19:39,867 --> 00:19:42,700
In 2003, while the charges were
dropped, ultimately,

150
00:19:42,867 --> 00:19:45,567
because his then-girlfriend
declined to cooperate or press

151
00:19:45,734 --> 00:19:49,867
charges, he was also arrested
for pointing a shotgun at her.

152
00:19:50,033 --> 00:19:52,767
He is a domestic violence
perpetrator, and this is

153
00:19:52,934 --> 00:19:56,867
somebody who doesn't know
how to regulate his anger.

154
00:19:57,033 --> 00:20:00,467
He doesn't know how to manage
being left or rejected.

155
00:20:00,467 --> 00:20:02,266
But ultimately, what Allgood
never really takes

156
00:20:02,433 --> 00:20:04,867
responsibility for is
this pattern of violence

157
00:20:04,867 --> 00:20:07,200
he engages in
with several women.

158
00:20:07,367 --> 00:20:09,166
This is not something
that just cropped up

159
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:10,367
in this relationship.

160
00:20:10,533 --> 00:20:13,000
It just became the most brutal
and most fatal.

161
00:20:36,967 --> 00:20:39,300
The sexual psychopath
has no boundary

162
00:20:39,467 --> 00:20:42,867
or limits to what they will do
to harm another person.
