Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:18,831 --> 00:00:22,251
I've killed them
in every way there is except poison.
2
00:00:27,339 --> 00:00:28,924
There's been strangulations.
3
00:00:29,008 --> 00:00:31,719
There's been knife wounds.
There's been shootings.
4
00:00:31,802 --> 00:00:33,471
There's been hit-and-runs.
5
00:00:35,514 --> 00:00:38,851
Henry Lee Lucas
says he has killed 100 women.
6
00:00:38,934 --> 00:00:41,437
Lucas claims
to have killed over 150 women.
7
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,607
Henry Lee Lucas
killed at least 360 people
8
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:45,941
during an eight-year spree
9
00:00:46,025 --> 00:00:49,487
that only ended when Texas authorities
caught him last year.
10
00:00:53,866 --> 00:00:56,535
One policeman said
he makes Charles Manson
11
00:00:56,619 --> 00:00:58,454
sound like Tom Sawyer.
12
00:01:00,915 --> 00:01:03,459
Henry Lee Lucas
murdered my sister, Laura Jean Donez.
13
00:01:03,542 --> 00:01:05,795
Henry Lee Lucas
murdered my mother, Joan Gilmore.
14
00:01:05,878 --> 00:01:08,798
Henry Lee Lucas
killed my sister, Rita Salazar.
15
00:01:10,591 --> 00:01:12,343
The last person he killed
16
00:01:12,426 --> 00:01:15,387
meant no more to him
than the last cigarette that he smoked.
17
00:01:18,808 --> 00:01:20,935
This is a bad guy.
18
00:01:21,018 --> 00:01:24,230
Everyone's perfect serial killer.
19
00:01:26,023 --> 00:01:26,941
And yet,
20
00:01:27,650 --> 00:01:30,277
things just didn't add up.
21
00:01:34,532 --> 00:01:36,617
You can't kill 200 people
22
00:01:36,909 --> 00:01:39,453
and never leave
a single shred of evidence.
23
00:01:39,537 --> 00:01:41,539
Nothing. Zero.
24
00:01:41,622 --> 00:01:44,750
I just grabbed her around her neck
and started choking her.
25
00:01:44,834 --> 00:01:48,796
You talk about being conned,
he was playing them like a violin.
26
00:01:50,297 --> 00:01:53,425
I thought the powers-that-be
would welcome the truth.
27
00:01:54,343 --> 00:01:55,261
I was wrong.
28
00:01:57,596 --> 00:01:59,598
The really sad thing about this,
29
00:01:59,682 --> 00:02:01,809
the real tragedy is
30
00:02:02,351 --> 00:02:04,019
someone got away with murder.
31
00:02:06,897 --> 00:02:09,191
Either they found
the world's worst serial killer...
32
00:02:11,235 --> 00:02:14,989
or it was the biggest hoax
in American criminal justice history.
33
00:03:13,297 --> 00:03:14,423
Montague County
34
00:03:14,882 --> 00:03:17,760
was, almost like
stepping back in time.
35
00:03:21,138 --> 00:03:22,389
People were laid-back.
36
00:03:23,015 --> 00:03:25,351
Mainly farmers, very little industry.
37
00:03:28,395 --> 00:03:30,272
The sheriff's office
and the police departments
38
00:03:30,356 --> 00:03:32,691
were all real small, understaffed.
39
00:03:35,611 --> 00:03:38,405
I became a ranger in 1979.
40
00:03:40,699 --> 00:03:45,579
Texas Rangers usually work
a lot of high-profile cases:
41
00:03:45,663 --> 00:03:48,165
murders, rapes, robberies,
organized crime.
42
00:03:48,999 --> 00:03:54,546
They put them in the area to be of benefit
to the local law enforcement.
43
00:03:56,757 --> 00:03:58,884
I had been a ranger two years,
44
00:03:58,968 --> 00:04:01,553
and I got a call
from the Montague County sheriff
45
00:04:01,637 --> 00:04:05,724
saying that they needed some help
on a missing woman named Kate Rich.
46
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:11,647
Kate was 82 years old, lived by herself.
47
00:04:13,148 --> 00:04:15,192
The family member told the sheriff
48
00:04:15,567 --> 00:04:19,280
that there was a suspect in her mind
of Henry Lee Lucas
49
00:04:19,363 --> 00:04:23,325
and he was living with Kate for a while.
50
00:04:28,539 --> 00:04:30,624
We did a lot of searching for the body.
51
00:04:32,668 --> 00:04:35,796
We found Kate's purse
thrown over a bridge.
52
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,008
So, you know,
that pretty well told me that
53
00:04:39,717 --> 00:04:42,052
the body was probably
still in the vicinity.
54
00:04:46,223 --> 00:04:49,143
After about a month of working this case,
55
00:04:49,518 --> 00:04:52,313
I realized that we also got
a 15-year-old girl missing.
56
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:54,732
She went by "Becky,"
57
00:04:55,357 --> 00:04:57,735
but her name was Frieda Lorraine Powell.
58
00:04:58,569 --> 00:05:00,362
She was Henry's girlfriend.
59
00:05:01,196 --> 00:05:03,324
Becky's missing, Kate's missing.
60
00:05:03,824 --> 00:05:05,659
Henry's the common denominator.
61
00:05:07,161 --> 00:05:08,871
He was a pretty good suspect.
62
00:05:13,792 --> 00:05:17,921
Henry was probably
in his mid to late forties.
63
00:05:18,714 --> 00:05:21,633
He was a scruffy-looking skinny guy,
you know,
64
00:05:21,717 --> 00:05:22,885
and had a bad eye.
65
00:05:24,803 --> 00:05:26,680
We'd done a lot of background on him.
66
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,394
We learned that Henry went to prison
in 1960 for killing his mother.
67
00:05:33,228 --> 00:05:36,690
Did some time in the "P&N,"
the, psychiatric ward.
68
00:05:40,944 --> 00:05:43,113
For a period of time,
my theory was that...
69
00:05:44,198 --> 00:05:45,407
he killed Becky,
70
00:05:46,367 --> 00:05:48,202
and then, Kate...
71
00:05:49,078 --> 00:05:51,163
figured it out,
and that's why he killed Kate.
72
00:05:55,834 --> 00:05:58,420
He'd come up
to the sheriff's office with us,
73
00:05:59,004 --> 00:06:00,047
friendly enough,
74
00:06:00,130 --> 00:06:01,799
act like he was sincere,
75
00:06:02,424 --> 00:06:04,385
but there was nothing
we could hold him on.
76
00:06:04,885 --> 00:06:07,262
He was pretty impressed
that we had already gathered
77
00:06:07,346 --> 00:06:08,889
a lot of information on him.
78
00:06:09,598 --> 00:06:12,434
He said, "I guess since you found
all that out about me,
79
00:06:12,768 --> 00:06:15,270
you... you know about that warrant on me."
80
00:06:16,397 --> 00:06:18,607
I said, "Praise the Lord"
in the back of my mind.
81
00:06:18,690 --> 00:06:22,069
I said, "That's out of Florida, isn't it?"
I started looking for it in my papers.
82
00:06:22,611 --> 00:06:24,238
He said, "No, Michigan."
83
00:06:24,321 --> 00:06:26,323
I said, "That's right. That's right."
84
00:06:26,407 --> 00:06:29,076
And, I said, "What--
What was that for?"
85
00:06:29,743 --> 00:06:32,162
He said,
"Well, it's originally for stealing a car,
86
00:06:32,246 --> 00:06:34,665
but the warrant's
for probation violation."
87
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,542
So I got the warrant number,
88
00:06:36,834 --> 00:06:38,627
and then when he come back,
we put him in jail.
89
00:06:51,306 --> 00:06:53,058
I had to keep him up in cigarettes.
90
00:06:53,642 --> 00:06:55,769
He drank coffee 24/7.
91
00:06:56,687 --> 00:06:59,273
He just loved talking.
92
00:06:59,356 --> 00:07:01,650
Well, I talked to him day and night,
93
00:07:01,733 --> 00:07:02,651
and, I-I mean,
94
00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:04,987
I just couldn't get him
to give me anything.
95
00:07:05,904 --> 00:07:07,281
I could prove he was lying,
96
00:07:08,031 --> 00:07:10,451
but I just couldn't get a confession,
and so...
97
00:07:11,285 --> 00:07:12,953
I finally told the sheriff, I said, "Look,
98
00:07:13,036 --> 00:07:15,747
let's just put him in jail
and just... not talk to him.
99
00:07:15,831 --> 00:07:17,666
Tell your people not to talk to him.
100
00:07:17,916 --> 00:07:20,836
I ain't gonna come up here and talk to him
like he's used to me doing."
101
00:07:21,128 --> 00:07:23,714
And the sheriff said, "Well, I got
some ploughing to do anyway."
102
00:07:23,797 --> 00:07:26,675
And, so we stuck him in jail and...
103
00:07:27,426 --> 00:07:28,469
didn't talk to him.
104
00:07:32,973 --> 00:07:34,600
Wednesday night, I get a call.
105
00:07:35,142 --> 00:07:36,894
He's passed a note to the jailer.
106
00:07:43,275 --> 00:07:45,444
He told me what he did to Kate.
107
00:07:47,779 --> 00:07:50,449
He just, stuck the knife in her chest,
108
00:07:50,782 --> 00:07:54,119
and then he got out and went around
and dragged her down into the ditch.
109
00:07:54,203 --> 00:07:55,537
Had sex with her.
110
00:07:56,955 --> 00:08:00,292
Well, when he takes me back out there
at daylight the next morning,
111
00:08:00,375 --> 00:08:02,753
the stuff he described is--
is still there.
112
00:08:04,922 --> 00:08:07,758
Parts of her glasses
that had been run over quite a bit.
113
00:08:08,425 --> 00:08:09,968
We found some of her clothing,
114
00:08:10,761 --> 00:08:11,970
and then we went to...
115
00:08:12,054 --> 00:08:13,263
his old apartment
116
00:08:13,555 --> 00:08:16,433
and, he showed us the stove
that he burned her in.
117
00:08:17,184 --> 00:08:18,227
I could see some...
118
00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:21,188
what I thought was bone fragments,
119
00:08:21,522 --> 00:08:24,316
but we collected them as evidence
just to prove that,
120
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:25,817
they were human bones.
121
00:08:29,488 --> 00:08:32,366
He said,
"I'll have to show you where Becky is,
122
00:08:33,158 --> 00:08:34,368
but it's not a pretty sight."
123
00:08:37,621 --> 00:08:39,039
He said, "If you'll dig right there,
124
00:08:39,122 --> 00:08:41,250
you'll find a pillowcase
with part of her."
125
00:08:42,334 --> 00:08:44,795
"The legs are out thataway.
126
00:08:46,547 --> 00:08:48,006
Her head's thisaway."
127
00:08:54,263 --> 00:08:57,224
And then I brought him back to Denton PD
to be interrogated.
128
00:08:58,892 --> 00:09:00,143
We kept arguing...
129
00:09:01,103 --> 00:09:02,479
cussing each other and...
130
00:09:03,397 --> 00:09:06,316
that was when I--
when I hit her with the knife.
131
00:09:06,775 --> 00:09:09,695
Okay, and-- and after...
after that part happened,
132
00:09:09,778 --> 00:09:12,322
do you recall what you did next?
133
00:09:12,781 --> 00:09:16,285
Yes. I took her panties
and her bra off and...
134
00:09:16,868 --> 00:09:18,704
I had sexual intercourse with her.
135
00:09:20,163 --> 00:09:21,999
It's one of those things that...
136
00:09:22,457 --> 00:09:24,042
I guess it got to be a...
137
00:09:25,711 --> 00:09:26,878
part of my life.
138
00:09:27,963 --> 00:09:30,048
Having sexual intercourse with the dead.
139
00:09:30,132 --> 00:09:31,049
Okay.
140
00:09:32,676 --> 00:09:33,510
After...
141
00:09:34,052 --> 00:09:35,929
After she's dead...
142
00:09:37,472 --> 00:09:39,600
and after you had sex with her,
143
00:09:40,309 --> 00:09:41,310
what happened next?
144
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:44,605
Well, after that, I cut her...
145
00:09:44,688 --> 00:09:46,481
up in little teeny pieces.
146
00:09:47,774 --> 00:09:50,652
You know, he told me,
"I killed the only girl I've ever loved."
147
00:09:51,194 --> 00:09:54,031
At least it bothered him a little bit
that he killed Becky.
148
00:09:56,033 --> 00:09:57,868
After that, there's a...
149
00:09:58,285 --> 00:10:00,829
an arraignment for Kate's murder.
150
00:10:04,207 --> 00:10:07,002
And there was
a couple of local newspapers there,
151
00:10:07,461 --> 00:10:10,172
and the reporter
from the Austin Statesman
152
00:10:10,255 --> 00:10:11,131
was following it.
153
00:10:11,882 --> 00:10:16,970
The judge asked him, "Do you understand
that you're being charged with murder?"
154
00:10:17,429 --> 00:10:19,931
I'm sitting there in open court, um...
155
00:10:20,015 --> 00:10:21,350
you know, casually listening,
156
00:10:21,975 --> 00:10:24,478
and all of a sudden,
Lucas just blurts out,
157
00:10:25,187 --> 00:10:26,396
"Well, Judge,
158
00:10:26,897 --> 00:10:30,317
what are we gonna do
about these other 100 women I killed?"
159
00:10:31,193 --> 00:10:32,027
What did he say?
160
00:10:34,988 --> 00:10:38,408
From that point,
it went to hell in a handbasket quick.
161
00:10:54,925 --> 00:10:58,136
Mr. Lucas, in the hearing,
you said you killed over a hundred women.
162
00:10:58,220 --> 00:10:59,054
Is that true?
163
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,225
Investigators
in Montague, Texas,
164
00:11:03,308 --> 00:11:05,394
are looking into a former
mental patient's claim
165
00:11:05,477 --> 00:11:07,938
that he has killed about 100 women.
166
00:11:08,021 --> 00:11:10,941
Lucas claims
a cross-country mass murder spree
167
00:11:11,024 --> 00:11:12,109
the last eight years.
168
00:11:12,484 --> 00:11:14,403
That immediately brought
a flood of inquiries
169
00:11:14,486 --> 00:11:16,697
from law enforcement authorities
in several other states.
170
00:11:17,906 --> 00:11:21,868
I started getting calls
from law enforcement all over.
171
00:11:22,494 --> 00:11:24,663
Nineteen different states,
I believe, was the last count.
172
00:11:24,746 --> 00:11:27,874
There's no way of keeping up with it
at this point. It's gotten out of hand.
173
00:11:28,542 --> 00:11:29,626
It was a nightmare.
174
00:11:30,669 --> 00:11:34,297
Local authorities revealed
that he was a suspect in several killings.
175
00:11:34,381 --> 00:11:36,591
They say he could be a mass murderer.
176
00:11:37,259 --> 00:11:39,094
Wherever Henry was,
the media was there.
177
00:11:40,303 --> 00:11:42,431
It was a circus that would not leave town.
178
00:11:43,932 --> 00:11:46,685
In this trial,
the 47-year-old former drifter
179
00:11:46,768 --> 00:11:48,061
was his own worst witness.
180
00:11:48,812 --> 00:11:52,399
First, he videotaped a confession
to the 1982 crime.
181
00:11:53,150 --> 00:11:55,193
Then he broke down on the witness stand,
182
00:11:55,277 --> 00:11:58,155
admitting regret
at having killed Becky Powell.
183
00:11:58,530 --> 00:12:00,490
Lucas said Becky hit him in the face.
184
00:12:00,866 --> 00:12:04,953
And the next thing Lucas remembers
is seeing Becky with a knife in her chest.
185
00:12:05,996 --> 00:12:09,875
The jury did not buy Lucas' attorney's
argument of voluntary manslaughter.
186
00:12:10,876 --> 00:12:13,837
We, the jury, find the defendant
Henry Lee Lucas guilty
187
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,590
of the offense of murder
as it lays in the indictment.
188
00:12:17,382 --> 00:12:19,676
In Denton, Texas,
the professed mass murderer
189
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,761
Henry Lee Lucas
190
00:12:20,844 --> 00:12:22,888
was sentenced today to life in prison
191
00:12:22,971 --> 00:12:26,141
for murdering and dismembering
15-year-old Becky Powell.
192
00:12:26,224 --> 00:12:30,061
Lucas has also
confessed to more than 150 other murders,
193
00:12:30,145 --> 00:12:33,857
and he makes Charles Manson
sound like Tom Sawyer.
194
00:12:34,232 --> 00:12:37,569
Investigators say
the Lucas stories are so gruesome
195
00:12:37,652 --> 00:12:40,530
that even the interrogation process
is difficult.
196
00:12:41,406 --> 00:12:43,116
Yes, I've had days where I just...
197
00:12:43,492 --> 00:12:45,243
had to make myself go in there.
198
00:12:45,327 --> 00:12:46,536
I didn't feel up to it.
199
00:12:46,870 --> 00:12:49,456
I've had days when I--
when I've cut it short.
200
00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:52,501
I was the one
that was tasked with...
201
00:12:52,584 --> 00:12:56,004
with getting information from him,
about other murders.
202
00:12:59,007 --> 00:13:02,135
I would just give him
a, pencil and say,
203
00:13:02,219 --> 00:13:04,262
"If you think of anything, write it down,"
204
00:13:04,346 --> 00:13:07,599
because we're covering so many murders
that it's ridiculous.
205
00:13:13,271 --> 00:13:15,357
He would sit there and draw pictures,
206
00:13:16,024 --> 00:13:19,986
and in the sides would describe
how they were killed,
207
00:13:20,529 --> 00:13:21,613
what they were wearing.
208
00:13:31,414 --> 00:13:33,083
It-- it turned your stomach,
209
00:13:33,166 --> 00:13:36,044
and it was hard to be decent with him
and, um...
210
00:13:37,170 --> 00:13:38,213
So sort of a...
211
00:13:38,505 --> 00:13:39,965
self-protection, I guess.
212
00:13:40,048 --> 00:13:43,385
I... I went through a period of time
where I didn't believe anything he said.
213
00:13:51,476 --> 00:13:52,978
I don't know, I...
214
00:13:53,061 --> 00:13:56,356
I was ready to do some fence-cutting
and goat-stealing cases.
215
00:13:56,439 --> 00:13:57,399
I was sick of murders.
216
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,446
We would send pictures out to,
the, agency
217
00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:05,907
that we believed would be responsible
218
00:14:05,991 --> 00:14:07,909
for investigating that murder.
219
00:14:09,494 --> 00:14:12,372
One of the, Texas sheriffs
that we, contacted
220
00:14:12,455 --> 00:14:13,623
was Sheriff Boutwell.
221
00:14:15,375 --> 00:14:17,168
I was at home one Saturday morning
222
00:14:17,252 --> 00:14:21,840
back in, June of, 1983,
223
00:14:23,091 --> 00:14:26,094
I had a call from the, sheriff
in Montague County.
224
00:14:26,595 --> 00:14:29,014
He called me and said, "Jim...
225
00:14:29,764 --> 00:14:33,184
we got an old boy in jail up here
that you might want to talk to."
226
00:14:35,770 --> 00:14:39,983
Sheriff Boutwell had been
actively investigating a string of murders
227
00:14:40,358 --> 00:14:43,820
up and down I-35
between Dallas and Austin.
228
00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:48,116
We had several bodies out here
on Interstate 35.
229
00:14:49,826 --> 00:14:54,414
And, we weren't having any luck
on solving or clearing those cases.
230
00:14:56,458 --> 00:14:59,377
He felt like
it was a single serial killer,
231
00:14:59,461 --> 00:15:03,423
and he thought that, Henry very well
could have been the one doing that.
232
00:15:06,301 --> 00:15:08,887
Sheriff Boutwell got a bench warrant
and picked Henry up
233
00:15:08,970 --> 00:15:11,514
right after he was sentenced
in Denton County,
234
00:15:12,015 --> 00:15:15,018
carried him straight to his jail there
in Georgetown.
235
00:15:19,773 --> 00:15:23,568
And then, from that point on,
you never saw Henry without Boutwell.
236
00:15:27,989 --> 00:15:32,369
Jim Boutwell was a legend
in Texas law enforcement.
237
00:15:32,452 --> 00:15:35,205
If you run the clock back a few years...
238
00:15:36,206 --> 00:15:39,376
...to that sniper
on the tower of the University of Texas,
239
00:15:40,085 --> 00:15:43,129
who killed quite a number of people
and wounded many more,
240
00:15:44,589 --> 00:15:46,007
Jim got in his plane
241
00:15:46,091 --> 00:15:49,803
and flew up and radioed
the location where the shooter was,
242
00:15:50,095 --> 00:15:53,139
and he got several bullet holes
in his aircraft,
243
00:15:53,682 --> 00:15:56,142
but he did quite a heroic job.
244
00:15:58,103 --> 00:16:01,398
After Lucas was in the custody
of Sheriff Boutwell,
245
00:16:01,898 --> 00:16:06,111
he, went to the director of DPS,
Colonel Jim Adams,
246
00:16:06,695 --> 00:16:12,325
to see if they would set up a task force
to coordinate these Lucas investigations.
247
00:16:12,826 --> 00:16:14,119
Lucas...
248
00:16:14,828 --> 00:16:16,746
is in a tight security cell.
249
00:16:16,830 --> 00:16:18,039
Being a popular sheriff,
250
00:16:18,540 --> 00:16:21,668
he was... he had the political clout
to get a task force put together.
251
00:16:22,627 --> 00:16:24,587
So the more we can learn
about the mentality,
252
00:16:24,671 --> 00:16:26,464
the modus operandi,
253
00:16:26,548 --> 00:16:27,924
the traveling habits,
254
00:16:28,008 --> 00:16:31,219
the public is going
to ultimately be more secure.
255
00:16:32,804 --> 00:16:36,808
Colonel Adams
wanted a Texas Ranger officer in charge,
256
00:16:38,101 --> 00:16:39,936
and I was assigned to that.
257
00:16:41,062 --> 00:16:43,523
Sergeant Prince
was a Ranger's Ranger.
258
00:16:43,606 --> 00:16:45,608
He'd come from a family
of law enforcement.
259
00:16:45,692 --> 00:16:47,444
A straight-up honest guy.
260
00:16:49,863 --> 00:16:54,451
The task force was set up
in a small office in the county jail.
261
00:16:55,869 --> 00:16:58,079
We were not an investigative task force.
262
00:16:58,496 --> 00:17:00,081
We were a coordinating task force.
263
00:17:01,583 --> 00:17:05,336
Our role was to,
allow access to officers
264
00:17:05,795 --> 00:17:09,382
wanting to talk with Lucas
from all over the nation.
265
00:17:10,383 --> 00:17:12,510
We had an interview room set up,
266
00:17:12,594 --> 00:17:14,596
we had a videotape set up.
267
00:17:15,221 --> 00:17:19,601
This statement is being
tape-recorded on a Panasonic machine.
268
00:17:19,684 --> 00:17:23,104
When they were ready
for the interview, we'd bring Lucas down,
269
00:17:23,188 --> 00:17:24,022
tape it,
270
00:17:24,272 --> 00:17:26,775
and then when they were through,
we'd debrief him.
271
00:17:26,858 --> 00:17:29,527
"Was there any cases that you believe
you were responsible for?"
272
00:17:29,611 --> 00:17:31,404
Okay, then what happened?
273
00:17:31,488 --> 00:17:32,864
I hit her with a knife.
274
00:17:33,948 --> 00:17:36,826
Yeah, I had sex with her already
before I shot her.
275
00:17:37,577 --> 00:17:40,038
I hit her,
but I think I hit her with my fist.
276
00:17:40,121 --> 00:17:42,165
I ain't sure, but I think I did.
277
00:17:44,751 --> 00:17:46,878
I'd set it up
like a doctor's office.
278
00:17:46,961 --> 00:17:49,798
If they need four hours,
I'd give them from eight to twelve.
279
00:17:51,132 --> 00:17:54,135
We may have to schedule it for a month
or two months ahead of time.
280
00:17:54,219 --> 00:17:55,720
We had such a backlog.
281
00:17:58,681 --> 00:18:02,602
That's probably in the neighborhood
of a thousand officers
282
00:18:02,685 --> 00:18:05,563
that signed in to talk to Lucas.
283
00:18:07,607 --> 00:18:10,568
As a peace officer,
that's a satisfying feeling,
284
00:18:10,652 --> 00:18:15,490
knowing that you've taken
killers like, Lucas off the street.
285
00:18:16,658 --> 00:18:19,077
Maybe bringing closure to some families.
286
00:18:19,744 --> 00:18:21,788
Jack, I talked to, Henry.
287
00:18:22,288 --> 00:18:24,958
He says that he did own a two-tone...
288
00:18:25,166 --> 00:18:27,210
The task force seemed innovative,
289
00:18:27,836 --> 00:18:30,171
because the task force was an attempt
290
00:18:30,755 --> 00:18:32,632
to have
all of these law enforcement people
291
00:18:32,715 --> 00:18:34,551
come into a central location,
292
00:18:34,634 --> 00:18:37,011
so that people were sharing information,
293
00:18:37,095 --> 00:18:39,097
and at the time, this was brand new.
294
00:18:39,639 --> 00:18:42,642
Since Lucas was arrested,
authorities from all over the country
295
00:18:42,725 --> 00:18:45,061
have been to see him
about unsolved murders.
296
00:18:45,145 --> 00:18:46,479
They say it may be years
297
00:18:46,563 --> 00:18:49,399
before a full construction of his crimes
is complete.
298
00:18:49,482 --> 00:18:52,277
None of the known
serial murderers approaches the record
299
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:53,236
of Henry Lee Lucas.
300
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:56,156
Lucas was a drifter
who murdered at random across America.
301
00:18:56,239 --> 00:18:58,950
A drifter with
no conscience and a compulsion to kill.
302
00:18:59,033 --> 00:19:01,411
He cruised the interstates
and the back roads...
303
00:19:03,163 --> 00:19:04,873
looking for that woman in a jam.
304
00:19:04,956 --> 00:19:09,294
Yes, many of his killings,
exhibited a lot of violence and overkill.
305
00:19:10,670 --> 00:19:12,005
Very, very violent.
306
00:19:12,088 --> 00:19:13,923
Very cruel in many cases.
307
00:19:20,346 --> 00:19:23,516
I heard that this man up in North Texas
308
00:19:23,933 --> 00:19:26,561
had said he'd killed hundreds of people.
309
00:19:26,644 --> 00:19:28,771
Now in jail,
just a few miles from...
310
00:19:28,855 --> 00:19:30,690
I had just spent four years
311
00:19:31,524 --> 00:19:33,067
interviewing Ted Bundy.
312
00:19:35,153 --> 00:19:37,864
But Bundy only killed about 30 people.
313
00:19:39,073 --> 00:19:41,117
Here's a guy
who says he's killed a hundred.
314
00:19:41,201 --> 00:19:44,787
I really had to go talk to him
and find out.
315
00:19:45,413 --> 00:19:49,042
Sheriff Jim Boutwell
had read my Bundy book.
316
00:19:49,959 --> 00:19:54,505
And he said, "Well, you come down
and talk to Henry anytime you want to."
317
00:19:55,423 --> 00:19:58,134
Well, I started doing it quite often.
318
00:20:06,768 --> 00:20:11,481
I've never had quite as good access,
even with... with Bundy.
319
00:20:12,941 --> 00:20:15,193
I could go any day of the week,
320
00:20:15,693 --> 00:20:17,528
any time of the day, generally.
321
00:20:24,369 --> 00:20:26,287
My first impression was
322
00:20:26,829 --> 00:20:29,082
Lucas was just a dirtball.
323
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,045
I was horrified by the smell.
324
00:20:35,838 --> 00:20:38,633
He was one-eyed and his other eye dripped.
325
00:20:40,885 --> 00:20:43,846
He had three, maybe four teeth.
326
00:20:46,224 --> 00:20:49,936
He was
a pitiful looking gentleman, really.
327
00:20:55,525 --> 00:20:56,693
Y'all want a cigarette?
328
00:20:57,944 --> 00:21:01,823
I was able to bring in
a Japanese film crew,
329
00:21:02,490 --> 00:21:05,785
and Sheriff Boutwell
thought that was exciting.
330
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,205
They were from Japan,
and my goodness,
331
00:21:09,289 --> 00:21:13,251
of course, we'll-- we'll take the day
and we'll-- we'll show 'em a good time.
332
00:21:14,002 --> 00:21:18,089
We appreciate the... the opportunity
to show the people of your country...
333
00:21:20,341 --> 00:21:23,594
...some of the things that go on here.
334
00:21:23,678 --> 00:21:24,762
I...
335
00:21:24,846 --> 00:21:27,140
I'm sorry they have to be such bad things.
336
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:31,602
The Japanese were just thrilled to death,
337
00:21:31,936 --> 00:21:33,771
and stunned, I might say.
338
00:21:38,234 --> 00:21:39,319
Sister Clemmie!
339
00:21:44,615 --> 00:21:45,450
-Hi.
-Yeah.
340
00:21:45,825 --> 00:21:47,035
Nice to meet you.
341
00:21:48,411 --> 00:21:50,955
And Yoichi Aoki. Nice to meet you, sir.
342
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,459
They brought you a present from Japan.
A painting set.
343
00:21:55,335 --> 00:21:56,169
Please.
344
00:21:59,088 --> 00:22:01,174
Open it.
-It's a watercolor set.
345
00:22:02,425 --> 00:22:03,676
I hope you enjoy it.
346
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,178
Open it, Henry.
347
00:22:07,472 --> 00:22:11,100
In Japan, you're becoming
really famous in Japan too.
348
00:22:11,434 --> 00:22:12,268
Yeah.
349
00:22:12,352 --> 00:22:13,936
Look, nobody had ever
350
00:22:14,187 --> 00:22:17,357
paid that much attention
to Henry Lee Lucas.
351
00:22:17,482 --> 00:22:20,902
We understand you were born
in Blacksburg, in Virginia,
352
00:22:20,985 --> 00:22:25,031
and if you can tell us
a little bit about your background?
353
00:22:25,782 --> 00:22:27,825
I had a family that...
354
00:22:30,161 --> 00:22:31,496
was...
355
00:22:31,579 --> 00:22:33,748
I guess what you'd say a poor family.
356
00:22:34,290 --> 00:22:36,209
They didn't have anything, and...
357
00:22:37,043 --> 00:22:40,421
My mother was, a prostitute,
and...
358
00:22:41,631 --> 00:22:43,508
Your mother would bring people home
359
00:22:43,591 --> 00:22:45,802
and she would have sex with them
in front of you kids?
360
00:22:45,885 --> 00:22:46,928
Right, yeah.
361
00:22:47,428 --> 00:22:49,555
Sometimes I was forced to watch her.
362
00:22:49,972 --> 00:22:51,265
What was your dad doing?
363
00:22:51,808 --> 00:22:53,935
Laying up drunk sometimes.
364
00:22:54,018 --> 00:22:56,354
Sometimes he'd just
go on out of the house
365
00:22:56,437 --> 00:22:58,106
because he didn't want to be in there.
366
00:23:00,358 --> 00:23:04,278
Henry Lucas grew up
in rural Virginia
367
00:23:04,362 --> 00:23:07,156
in a dilapidated little house.
368
00:23:10,868 --> 00:23:12,620
He only went till the fourth grade.
369
00:23:12,703 --> 00:23:15,206
He was trouble all the way.
370
00:23:16,332 --> 00:23:18,501
His dad had lost his legs
371
00:23:18,918 --> 00:23:20,795
in a railroad accident,
372
00:23:21,254 --> 00:23:25,091
and so he was on a mat
and he sold pencils on the street.
373
00:23:27,468 --> 00:23:28,970
His mother would beat him.
374
00:23:29,345 --> 00:23:33,391
She would ridicule him incessantly.
375
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,478
Your mother
was really hard on you.
376
00:23:37,854 --> 00:23:41,566
Did you ever think that
"Someday I'm gonna kill her"?
377
00:23:42,775 --> 00:23:45,027
Yeah, I told somebody I was.
378
00:23:46,487 --> 00:23:49,907
So here comes Mom in, drunk, and...
379
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:52,785
and during the argument with her,
380
00:23:52,869 --> 00:23:55,580
and her striking me over the head
with a broom handle,
381
00:23:56,164 --> 00:23:57,790
I swung at her with a knife.
382
00:23:59,167 --> 00:24:00,168
And...
383
00:24:02,420 --> 00:24:04,589
I just turned and walked
right on out of the room.
384
00:24:05,089 --> 00:24:06,007
And...
385
00:24:07,508 --> 00:24:08,634
It's as though...
386
00:24:09,552 --> 00:24:10,928
she didn't exist.
387
00:24:11,888 --> 00:24:14,724
Well, I believe you told,
Sheriff Boutwell that...
388
00:24:14,807 --> 00:24:17,143
when you'd kill,
you'd get this cold feeling.
389
00:24:17,894 --> 00:24:20,104
Well, it's like being in an icebox.
390
00:24:21,022 --> 00:24:23,024
You get just as cold...
391
00:24:23,399 --> 00:24:25,067
No feelings...
392
00:24:25,902 --> 00:24:27,820
You don't have no feelings for...
393
00:24:28,446 --> 00:24:30,490
the actual human itself, you just...
394
00:24:30,573 --> 00:24:32,241
It's as though it's not there.
395
00:24:32,783 --> 00:24:34,660
But yet, it's...
396
00:24:34,744 --> 00:24:36,662
You know, something takes its place,
397
00:24:37,538 --> 00:24:38,456
and...
398
00:24:38,539 --> 00:24:40,875
An inanimate object, almost.
-Yeah.
399
00:24:40,958 --> 00:24:43,127
A thing, not a person.
-Right.
400
00:24:43,211 --> 00:24:45,004
You know, most normal people
401
00:24:45,087 --> 00:24:47,840
can still have a terrible background
402
00:24:48,257 --> 00:24:50,968
and there's still
some kind of a firewall there
403
00:24:51,302 --> 00:24:54,931
that prevents them
from moving off into killing people.
404
00:24:55,681 --> 00:24:59,227
You know, that firewall
did not exist for Lucas.
405
00:25:01,729 --> 00:25:03,898
When you talked to him,
he was cooperative.
406
00:25:04,565 --> 00:25:06,859
He was polite.
407
00:25:08,069 --> 00:25:10,947
But during the interview, I was terrified.
408
00:25:11,239 --> 00:25:12,615
Who wouldn't be scared?
409
00:25:12,698 --> 00:25:14,909
I mean, I certainly had read
about who this was
410
00:25:14,992 --> 00:25:19,705
and I'd never, ever been in the vicinity
of someone like that.
411
00:25:21,582 --> 00:25:23,125
The editor said to me,
412
00:25:23,751 --> 00:25:26,087
"Life magazine is doing a feature
413
00:25:26,170 --> 00:25:29,382
on the phenomenon of serial killing."
414
00:25:30,508 --> 00:25:31,551
Within a week,
415
00:25:31,634 --> 00:25:34,345
I was in Henry's interview room.
416
00:25:34,428 --> 00:25:35,805
His "office," he called it.
417
00:25:36,806 --> 00:25:39,809
According to an article
in the current issue of Life magazine,
418
00:25:39,892 --> 00:25:43,646
5,000 Americans
were murdered by serial killers
419
00:25:43,729 --> 00:25:45,523
in 1983 alone.
420
00:25:51,445 --> 00:25:53,823
There was this national interest
421
00:25:53,906 --> 00:25:56,450
in the whole idea of serial killing.
422
00:25:56,951 --> 00:25:58,619
Motiveless, random killings,
423
00:25:58,703 --> 00:26:00,746
sometimes thousands of miles apart.
424
00:26:00,830 --> 00:26:02,873
They're known as "serial killers,"
425
00:26:02,957 --> 00:26:04,834
and according
to law enforcement officials,
426
00:26:04,917 --> 00:26:08,671
there are at least 35 of them
roaming the country now, stalking victims.
427
00:26:09,797 --> 00:26:12,133
People were just beginning
to try to understand
428
00:26:12,216 --> 00:26:14,093
how something like that could happen.
429
00:26:16,053 --> 00:26:19,307
The psychologist I worked with
had developed what he called
430
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,475
a serial killer profile.
431
00:26:24,854 --> 00:26:26,188
And in that profile,
432
00:26:26,939 --> 00:26:30,443
there were distinctive characteristics.
433
00:26:31,652 --> 00:26:35,823
The person usually hadn't married
and didn't have children.
434
00:26:37,366 --> 00:26:40,453
There was usually a controlling parent.
435
00:26:41,037 --> 00:26:45,583
There was a history of the child
visiting emergency rooms repeatedly.
436
00:26:46,667 --> 00:26:51,589
And then psychological issues
like suicidal tendencies,
437
00:26:51,672 --> 00:26:53,382
cruelty to animals.
438
00:26:54,675 --> 00:26:56,177
I had...
439
00:26:56,844 --> 00:27:01,307
been taught sexual relation
by a man that lived at...
440
00:27:01,390 --> 00:27:02,433
with my mother.
441
00:27:02,516 --> 00:27:04,477
What did he tell you
about having sex with animals?
442
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,978
Did he teach you to kill 'em?
443
00:27:06,062 --> 00:27:07,730
Yeah, he taught...
444
00:27:07,938 --> 00:27:10,816
you know, to kill animals
and have sex with them.
445
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:12,693
What kind of animals? Goats?
446
00:27:12,985 --> 00:27:14,904
Anything, it didn't matter.
447
00:27:15,655 --> 00:27:16,864
Any kind of animal.
448
00:27:18,157 --> 00:27:19,867
You could see the way Henry
449
00:27:21,077 --> 00:27:25,081
fit into the profile that we had created.
450
00:27:25,623 --> 00:27:28,376
Henry's mother was violent.
451
00:27:28,459 --> 00:27:31,003
Several times,
he went to the emergency room.
452
00:27:31,379 --> 00:27:33,673
Once, when he was six,
453
00:27:33,756 --> 00:27:36,175
she hit him over the head
with a two-by-four,
454
00:27:36,634 --> 00:27:41,180
and he says he was unconscious
for 30 to 36 hours.
455
00:27:41,263 --> 00:27:45,309
He talked about the fact
that whenever he had a pet,
456
00:27:45,393 --> 00:27:46,560
she would kill it.
457
00:27:54,443 --> 00:27:56,028
That's Henry's brain.
458
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:59,990
Here, there's frontal lobe damage,
459
00:28:00,408 --> 00:28:02,118
these little white spots.
460
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,663
The doctor said
it looked like a head trauma
461
00:28:05,955 --> 00:28:08,582
that happened
between the ages of five and ten.
462
00:28:09,458 --> 00:28:13,212
They found some temporal lobe damage,
some frontal lobe damage.
463
00:28:13,295 --> 00:28:15,965
The combination is supposed to be
the worst that it can be.
464
00:28:16,757 --> 00:28:18,592
Temporal lobe means...
465
00:28:20,219 --> 00:28:21,929
no control over impulse.
466
00:28:22,346 --> 00:28:24,974
Frontal lobe
is lack of compassion, empathy.
467
00:28:25,057 --> 00:28:26,267
You put those together,
468
00:28:26,350 --> 00:28:28,561
it looks to me
like you have a serial killer.
469
00:28:33,315 --> 00:28:36,569
Well, I don't understand
how this thing progressed, Henry.
470
00:28:36,652 --> 00:28:40,156
You started out killing your mother
in '60, then it really escalated.
471
00:28:41,157 --> 00:28:43,617
Was this...
What was in your mind then?
472
00:28:43,701 --> 00:28:45,911
What-- what made it just get so--
473
00:28:45,995 --> 00:28:47,788
Did it get easier as you went on?
474
00:28:48,122 --> 00:28:49,582
Yeah.
475
00:28:49,665 --> 00:28:51,834
It just didn't matter no more.
476
00:28:51,917 --> 00:28:53,794
There was no...
477
00:28:55,463 --> 00:28:56,714
It just become...
478
00:28:56,797 --> 00:28:58,424
After '79,
479
00:28:58,507 --> 00:29:00,426
it become an impulse.
480
00:29:00,926 --> 00:29:03,345
And then, by me meeting Ottis Toole,
481
00:29:03,429 --> 00:29:05,264
that didn't help so good, you know,
482
00:29:05,347 --> 00:29:08,768
'cause me and him started running around
killing together too.
483
00:29:11,687 --> 00:29:15,065
Ottis Toole
was Henry Lucas' running buddy,
484
00:29:15,816 --> 00:29:16,692
and...
485
00:29:17,109 --> 00:29:20,404
probably had some, murders together.
486
00:29:21,197 --> 00:29:23,741
Toole was a homosexual,
487
00:29:24,575 --> 00:29:25,618
and...
488
00:29:27,077 --> 00:29:30,706
Lucas apparently was on the receiving end
of that time, but...
489
00:29:32,458 --> 00:29:33,542
He was a...
490
00:29:34,043 --> 00:29:37,838
very much of a vicious, vicious person.
491
00:29:38,255 --> 00:29:39,381
Very low IQ.
492
00:29:42,635 --> 00:29:44,887
Toole would dress
up like a woman
493
00:29:45,387 --> 00:29:47,807
and go pick up people in bars and...
494
00:29:48,182 --> 00:29:49,850
get money for sex.
495
00:29:50,518 --> 00:29:52,436
This was a huge, big man.
496
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,396
He was about six-three or four,
497
00:29:54,897 --> 00:29:56,524
and he was muscular,
498
00:29:56,982 --> 00:30:00,194
and yet he talked very softly.
499
00:30:01,278 --> 00:30:02,988
They became good friends.
500
00:30:05,699 --> 00:30:08,369
We picked up lots of hitchhikers
and all, you know.
501
00:30:09,954 --> 00:30:13,082
Henry mostly killed all the women,
you know, himself, you know.
502
00:30:13,165 --> 00:30:15,251
Some of them
would be shot in the head and...
503
00:30:15,709 --> 00:30:17,253
in the chest and...
504
00:30:18,254 --> 00:30:21,006
Some of them would be,
choked to death and...
505
00:30:21,882 --> 00:30:23,300
some of them would be...
506
00:30:25,678 --> 00:30:27,847
beaten in the head with a tire tool.
507
00:30:30,975 --> 00:30:33,143
They made a lot of trips, you know,
508
00:30:33,227 --> 00:30:36,313
from Florida to California
and back and around.
509
00:30:38,566 --> 00:30:42,361
I think all they did was just drive,
and drive, and drive, and drive,
510
00:30:42,444 --> 00:30:46,198
and camp out at parks
and wherever they could.
511
00:30:48,242 --> 00:30:50,536
And he was a walking Rand McNally.
512
00:30:50,619 --> 00:30:51,704
He knew this country.
513
00:30:52,830 --> 00:30:55,916
You know, little tiny roads
and freeways and...
514
00:30:56,333 --> 00:30:58,711
And you just don't learn that much
about roads
515
00:30:59,253 --> 00:31:01,630
unless you've spent a lot of time
on the road.
516
00:31:06,218 --> 00:31:10,723
Roaming murderers like Lucas
create enormous problems for the police.
517
00:31:10,806 --> 00:31:14,476
They could do two in Texas
and be in Arizona or New Mexico
518
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,187
and do one, again in ten hours,
519
00:31:17,271 --> 00:31:19,398
and then go from there to California
and do them,
520
00:31:19,481 --> 00:31:21,442
so, they're very hard to track.
521
00:31:22,818 --> 00:31:25,029
A serial killer is probably
522
00:31:25,362 --> 00:31:28,866
the hardest person to detect and identify
523
00:31:29,450 --> 00:31:33,787
because they'd have no connection
with the victim.
524
00:31:35,831 --> 00:31:39,752
Probably a whole lot of serial killers
have been out there in years past
525
00:31:40,002 --> 00:31:41,420
that weren't ever recognized
526
00:31:41,503 --> 00:31:43,547
because there'd be no connection made
527
00:31:43,631 --> 00:31:46,425
between a murder that happened in Texas
528
00:31:47,176 --> 00:31:49,261
and in the panhandle of Florida.
529
00:31:51,180 --> 00:31:54,266
Lucas got away with it
for quite a number of years.
530
00:31:55,476 --> 00:31:57,937
And that's why we set up the task force.
531
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,153
Sheriff Boutwell
called a conference together
532
00:32:06,236 --> 00:32:08,989
where he invited people
from across the country to come
533
00:32:09,490 --> 00:32:10,824
and try to see if
534
00:32:11,241 --> 00:32:15,204
they could make any discoveries
pertinent to the Lucas information.
535
00:32:15,287 --> 00:32:17,331
Maybe we can come up with Lucas and Toole
536
00:32:17,414 --> 00:32:19,750
as being a suspect
in your particular area.
537
00:32:19,833 --> 00:32:21,710
Lawmen met to compare notes
538
00:32:21,794 --> 00:32:24,797
and piece together
the Lucas-Toole trail of terror.
539
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,799
Police now link
at least Lucas
540
00:32:26,882 --> 00:32:29,426
to scores of murders in 17 states,
541
00:32:29,510 --> 00:32:31,428
stretching from coast to coast.
542
00:32:31,512 --> 00:32:33,222
I don't know whether it's me or...
543
00:32:34,556 --> 00:32:36,600
whether I looked trusted or what,
I don't know,
544
00:32:36,684 --> 00:32:38,352
but, they'd get in the car.
545
00:32:39,395 --> 00:32:40,229
And...
546
00:32:40,854 --> 00:32:42,773
I'd go up and knock on people's doors,
547
00:32:42,856 --> 00:32:45,317
and tell them I'm hungry,
tell them I want a drink of water,
548
00:32:45,401 --> 00:32:47,319
they'd invite me right in their house.
549
00:32:49,780 --> 00:32:51,782
They'd say,
"Come on in," you know? "Come on."
550
00:32:53,075 --> 00:32:55,077
Which is the worst mistake they make.
551
00:32:55,494 --> 00:32:58,122
I think that was the secret
of his success,
552
00:32:58,872 --> 00:33:01,792
because he acts low-key, harmless.
553
00:33:03,794 --> 00:33:06,380
You know,
somebody'd climb in a car with him.
554
00:33:06,463 --> 00:33:08,924
If they could stand the smell,
they'd say,
555
00:33:09,008 --> 00:33:11,051
"This old boy wouldn't hurt anybody."
556
00:33:15,264 --> 00:33:19,309
But what causes you
to grab a woman or kill one?
557
00:33:19,393 --> 00:33:20,769
I mean, just-- just...
558
00:33:20,936 --> 00:33:23,355
It's just...
I don't like women, you know?
559
00:33:23,439 --> 00:33:25,315
-You know, at the time, I didn't like 'em.
-Yeah.
560
00:33:25,399 --> 00:33:26,900
And every time I'd see a woman,
561
00:33:26,984 --> 00:33:30,404
whether they was walking down the road,
walking down the street...
562
00:33:30,487 --> 00:33:33,282
wherever I seen that woman,
I was gonna pick her up.
563
00:33:33,907 --> 00:33:36,035
Yeah.
-I just hate them.
564
00:33:36,118 --> 00:33:38,746
Well, that's a feeling.
That's a pretty strong feeling.
565
00:33:39,705 --> 00:33:42,207
Didn't any woman
ever treat you really good?
566
00:33:42,291 --> 00:33:46,295
Clemmie has been the only woman
that has actually ever treated me good.
567
00:33:48,297 --> 00:33:51,800
She has gone completely
out of her way, to help me.
568
00:34:03,854 --> 00:34:06,482
I had been visiting the jails.
569
00:34:08,650 --> 00:34:09,818
They said,
570
00:34:09,902 --> 00:34:12,696
"Sister Clemmie, we have a...
571
00:34:13,697 --> 00:34:16,825
new inmate, and he's a serial killer.
572
00:34:17,326 --> 00:34:18,202
Be careful."
573
00:34:18,285 --> 00:34:19,745
You know, all of the jailers,
574
00:34:19,828 --> 00:34:21,872
"Sister, please be careful."
575
00:34:22,539 --> 00:34:25,918
It was, right before Christmas,
and I was...
576
00:34:26,627 --> 00:34:30,297
taking, Bibles
and handing them out to prisoners,
577
00:34:30,380 --> 00:34:32,633
and I had one left, and, um...
578
00:34:33,258 --> 00:34:35,886
I was going to take the Bible home,
and-- and I said,
579
00:34:35,969 --> 00:34:39,640
"Lord, did I forget someone?
Should this Bible go to someone?"
580
00:34:41,225 --> 00:34:43,560
And she says,
"If I give you this Bible,
581
00:34:43,644 --> 00:34:45,312
you won't tear it up, will you?
582
00:34:45,395 --> 00:34:46,230
You'll read it?"
583
00:34:46,313 --> 00:34:47,314
I said, "Yeah."
584
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,111
"I have given you my Holy Spirit
to live in you and to help you."
585
00:34:52,236 --> 00:34:54,113
What does that mean to you, Henry?
586
00:34:54,196 --> 00:34:56,073
That means living a clean life.
587
00:34:57,199 --> 00:34:58,867
Living according to God.
588
00:34:59,284 --> 00:35:02,830
She's become
a very, very good friend.
589
00:35:04,081 --> 00:35:05,541
She's taught me...
590
00:35:06,125 --> 00:35:07,626
the Bible...
591
00:35:07,709 --> 00:35:09,294
And she's taught me how to care,
592
00:35:09,378 --> 00:35:11,004
about others.
593
00:35:11,755 --> 00:35:14,299
After about the fourth visit,
I baptized him
594
00:35:14,383 --> 00:35:17,719
and I had a love for him
that I couldn't explain, you know?
595
00:35:29,064 --> 00:35:32,109
He said that this is
the first time in his life
596
00:35:32,192 --> 00:35:34,653
that he has ever felt good about himself.
597
00:35:37,364 --> 00:35:41,076
He's able to see beauty
in things all around him.
598
00:35:42,619 --> 00:35:44,830
He enjoys oil painting.
599
00:35:45,914 --> 00:35:49,793
And he's one of the most
gentle persons I know,
600
00:35:49,877 --> 00:35:51,003
and it's like...
601
00:35:51,086 --> 00:35:54,047
he was never capable of loving before,
602
00:35:54,131 --> 00:35:57,926
and it's like
he has a deep brotherly love for me.
603
00:36:00,429 --> 00:36:02,848
God himself sent her to me.
604
00:36:05,309 --> 00:36:08,437
Lucas says God told him
to start telling what he'd done.
605
00:36:09,438 --> 00:36:13,483
It's an experience I had with a light,
that came in my cell.
606
00:36:14,651 --> 00:36:18,363
Jesus Christ himself came in
and asked me to accept Him
607
00:36:19,448 --> 00:36:20,949
as my personal savior.
608
00:36:22,034 --> 00:36:24,912
And I said then, I says, "I can't...
609
00:36:25,787 --> 00:36:28,207
clear up the cases
because I can't remember 'em."
610
00:36:28,290 --> 00:36:31,210
And He says, "I will take care of that."
611
00:36:31,710 --> 00:36:35,005
From that day on,
I've been able to go back to the bodies,
612
00:36:35,088 --> 00:36:37,841
I've been able to tell where they're at
and everything else.
613
00:36:40,344 --> 00:36:42,554
Authorities say
he has an incredible recall
614
00:36:42,638 --> 00:36:45,807
for names, dates, and details
of his crimes and crime scenes.
615
00:36:46,225 --> 00:36:48,977
Lucas was relaxed,
and he even lit a cigarette,
616
00:36:49,061 --> 00:36:50,437
after he led deputies down a road
617
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,148
where he allegedly killed
one of the women.
618
00:36:53,232 --> 00:36:55,984
Being able to direct persons
619
00:36:56,235 --> 00:37:00,239
ten, 15 years after the offenses occurred
is sort of frightening.
620
00:37:00,656 --> 00:37:03,575
There's just so many things
that would lead you to believe
621
00:37:03,659 --> 00:37:04,785
that he was there.
622
00:37:04,868 --> 00:37:07,829
That's the-- That's the door
I came out of right there.
623
00:37:07,913 --> 00:37:09,248
-The one in the front?
-Yeah.
624
00:37:09,331 --> 00:37:12,626
I recall,
one particular murder case where...
625
00:37:12,709 --> 00:37:16,713
a, Playboy magazine
was found by the, victim.
626
00:37:17,506 --> 00:37:19,132
Henry told the officers,
627
00:37:19,216 --> 00:37:21,885
that-- that they would have found
that magazine there
628
00:37:21,969 --> 00:37:25,222
and even told them the year and the month
the magazine was issued.
629
00:37:28,558 --> 00:37:31,270
I think this one is a better one
right there.
630
00:37:31,645 --> 00:37:34,481
All I have to do,
if I've ever killed a person,
631
00:37:34,982 --> 00:37:38,068
is they can show me a live photograph
of that person
632
00:37:38,277 --> 00:37:41,196
and I can look at the picture
and I can tell you if I've killed her.
633
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,283
And if I've killed her,
I tell you how and where.
634
00:37:46,034 --> 00:37:49,204
He's, confessing
to all of his crimes,
635
00:37:49,288 --> 00:37:52,708
and he's bringing forth the bodies
so they can have Christian burials.
636
00:37:55,585 --> 00:37:58,630
Receiving letters
from his victims' families
637
00:37:58,714 --> 00:38:01,341
are very moving and touching to him.
638
00:38:06,888 --> 00:38:08,974
There's people out there
in this world today
639
00:38:09,057 --> 00:38:10,684
that's lost their loved ones,
640
00:38:10,767 --> 00:38:12,144
and they wanna know who done it.
641
00:38:12,978 --> 00:38:15,814
Why should I hide my face,
saying I'm a coward, you know?
642
00:38:15,897 --> 00:38:18,108
I want them to know who I am.
643
00:38:18,567 --> 00:38:21,028
He feels like he's doing the will of God
644
00:38:21,111 --> 00:38:24,990
and this is the first time
that he has any inner-- inner peace.
645
00:38:26,908 --> 00:38:29,745
Clemmie was his spiritual advisor,
646
00:38:30,037 --> 00:38:32,414
but she also cooked his dinners.
647
00:38:33,332 --> 00:38:35,459
I did an interview with Henry
648
00:38:36,126 --> 00:38:37,669
during one of those dinners.
649
00:38:38,086 --> 00:38:39,463
He was not in handcuffs.
650
00:38:39,546 --> 00:38:41,340
Clemmie was cutting his meat...
651
00:38:42,341 --> 00:38:43,467
and cantaloupe,
652
00:38:43,550 --> 00:38:44,968
and handing him the plate,
653
00:38:45,052 --> 00:38:47,888
and we were interviewing him
while that was happening.
654
00:38:47,971 --> 00:38:49,598
She also cut his hair.
655
00:38:50,474 --> 00:38:55,228
I couldn't believe that he was
right next to a pair of barber scissors,
656
00:38:55,687 --> 00:38:57,606
smiling at everyone,
657
00:38:57,689 --> 00:39:00,400
and Clemmie not really understanding
658
00:39:00,484 --> 00:39:02,069
how dangerous that was.
659
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,741
They created a community.
660
00:39:07,824 --> 00:39:09,493
It almost seemed like a family.
661
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,291
Sheriff Boutwell and Bob Prince,
especially, would talk about
662
00:39:16,375 --> 00:39:20,921
maintaining Henry's mood
so he would continue to cooperate.
663
00:39:21,546 --> 00:39:25,133
We've gained his confidence
and we need to keep his confidence.
664
00:39:25,217 --> 00:39:26,051
Um...
665
00:39:28,470 --> 00:39:31,348
You know, if he doesn't have
our confidence, he could...
666
00:39:31,681 --> 00:39:33,767
um, he could either quit talking or...
667
00:39:34,267 --> 00:39:37,854
or, tell us some things that...
that were not true.
668
00:39:40,732 --> 00:39:44,403
He had free rein in Georgetown.
669
00:39:45,362 --> 00:39:48,281
He got drinks
out of the soft-drink machine.
670
00:39:48,990 --> 00:39:51,576
He wandered around without handcuffs.
671
00:39:53,620 --> 00:39:55,789
I consider Georgetown my home.
672
00:39:56,748 --> 00:39:59,376
It's a little hard to say,
you know, being a jail,
673
00:39:59,459 --> 00:40:01,211
but, it's home.
674
00:40:02,379 --> 00:40:04,756
There is an easy-going,
relaxed feeling
675
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,425
between lawman and killer.
676
00:40:07,175 --> 00:40:09,428
Being friendly towards each other,
677
00:40:09,511 --> 00:40:13,014
and, I joke a lot with Bob,
kid with him,
678
00:40:13,098 --> 00:40:16,143
and I do the Sheriff the same way,
or Clayton Smith.
679
00:40:17,144 --> 00:40:19,771
Henry was so happy
680
00:40:20,522 --> 00:40:22,149
being at the jail.
681
00:40:22,941 --> 00:40:24,985
They didn't treat him as a killer,
682
00:40:25,402 --> 00:40:28,655
but as a friend
that they would be working with.
683
00:40:29,573 --> 00:40:30,407
It was...
684
00:40:30,657 --> 00:40:33,827
making him feel
as though he was contributing
685
00:40:34,244 --> 00:40:36,830
by helping to solve the cases,
686
00:40:36,913 --> 00:40:39,249
because the families needed him
to do that.
687
00:40:40,125 --> 00:40:42,794
I was trying,
like I'm doing right now,
688
00:40:42,878 --> 00:40:46,047
just to get, the cases solved,
you know?
689
00:40:47,007 --> 00:40:50,802
But, there's nobody else
gonna solve them except me.
690
00:40:52,137 --> 00:40:56,349
As I started talking
to Henry, things just...
691
00:40:57,058 --> 00:40:58,268
didn't add up.
692
00:40:59,978 --> 00:41:01,229
There's hundreds of 'em.
693
00:41:01,313 --> 00:41:03,440
One of the Japanese guys said,
694
00:41:04,399 --> 00:41:06,568
"Well, you've just been all over."
And he...
695
00:41:06,902 --> 00:41:08,278
Henry said, "Yes,
696
00:41:08,945 --> 00:41:10,864
I got some in your country."
697
00:41:13,283 --> 00:41:15,160
He's going to be caught by the police.
698
00:41:16,411 --> 00:41:18,205
Because it's a small country.
699
00:41:18,288 --> 00:41:19,498
Make you a bet.
700
00:41:25,003 --> 00:41:27,172
I've been in your country, too.
701
00:41:27,255 --> 00:41:29,883
Somebody asked him,
"Well, how did you get there?"
702
00:41:30,634 --> 00:41:32,636
And he said, "Well, I drove, of course."
703
00:41:33,345 --> 00:41:35,263
To where?
-To Japan.
704
00:41:43,980 --> 00:41:46,691
The task force
was doing very, very well.
705
00:41:49,152 --> 00:41:52,239
Boutwell was thrilled.
He wanted everybody to know that...
706
00:41:53,031 --> 00:41:56,952
in his jail, they had this task force,
and that...
707
00:41:57,285 --> 00:41:59,663
they were-- they were clearing
all these murders.
708
00:42:00,830 --> 00:42:04,626
Hey, let's face it,
everybody wants to solve murders.
709
00:42:06,711 --> 00:42:08,838
Families were pleased.
710
00:42:09,172 --> 00:42:12,384
You know, you have a member
of your family killed,
711
00:42:13,051 --> 00:42:15,011
you want to find out the perpetrator.
712
00:42:16,429 --> 00:42:18,139
And so many of them slept better
713
00:42:18,807 --> 00:42:22,227
because they felt they had found the perp.
714
00:42:23,645 --> 00:42:25,564
This is a bad guy.
715
00:42:26,481 --> 00:42:29,526
Everyone's perfect serial killer.
716
00:42:34,030 --> 00:42:39,119
And yet, I had interviewed
a lot of murderers over the years,
717
00:42:39,869 --> 00:42:41,037
and this was...
718
00:42:41,705 --> 00:42:43,748
this was so far out of the norm.
719
00:42:45,500 --> 00:42:46,876
-Thank you very much.
-Thank you.
720
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,964
f I knew I had
to keep questioning, checking.
721
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,138
When there was nobody around
but me and Henry,
722
00:42:58,513 --> 00:43:01,308
he'd say, "Well,
I didn't really do all them things."
723
00:43:02,892 --> 00:43:04,644
He said, "I'm just making this up.
724
00:43:05,186 --> 00:43:06,563
I'll talk to you later."
