COULD THE NIGHTMARE BE OVER?

SANTA CRUZ POLICE HAVE AT LAST GOTTEN THEIR ACT TOGETHER

AND ARRESTED A SUSPECT.

THEY'RE NOT SAYING WHO, BUT WE KNOW HE'S ONE OF US,

A LOCAL BOY IN HIS MID-20s GONE BAD.

THE RANDOM AND VIOLENT NATURE OF RECENT CRIMES

HAS LED DETECTIVES TO BELIEVE

THAT THE SUSPECT MAY BE LINKED TO 11 OTHER OPEN MURDER CASES.

[ SAWING ]

KATHY FRANCIS AND HER TWO SONS

WERE BRUTALLY MURDERED LAST MONTH.

[ SCREAMING, CRYING ]

THIS MARKED THE END OF A KILLING SPREE

THAT STARTED LAST YEAR,

WHEN LAWRENCE WHITE WAS FOUND BEATEN TO DEATH

BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD,

AND THE BODY OF MARY GUILFOYLE

WAS FOUND DISMEMBERED AT BONNY DOON.

THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL MISSING COEDS

WHO ARE UNACCOUNTED FOR.

COULD THIS CLEAR UP THE MYSTERY OF AIKO KOO,

WHO'S MISSING FOR 5 MONTHS?

-HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL? -NO, I HAVEN'T.

[ MAN SINGING INDISTINCTLY]

[ SIGHS ]

WE HAVE A PELVIS, ARMS, LEG,

AND A HAND.

VICTIM IS A YOUNG FEMALE,

I'D SAY ABOUT 20.

DO THE PARTS BELONG TO THE SAME PERSON?

POSSIBLY.

IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL.

HOW LONG'S SHE BEEN IN THE WATER?

COUPLE OF WEEKS, MAYBE LONGER.

THE WATER MAKES IT HARD TO DATE.

ANY ITEMS OF CLOTHING, JEWELRY?

NO.

AND THE SKIN IS TOO FAR GONE FOR PRINTS.

OH, WELL, I DOUBT SHE'D BE ON OUR RECORDS ANYWAY.

CAUSE OF DEATH?

IT'S DIFFICULT TO TELL WITHOUT THE HEAD AND THE TORSO.

BUT THERE IS A STRANGE THING.

THE ACHILLES TENDON, IT'S BEEN CUT.

-WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? -I HAVE NO IDEA.

COULD THE PARTS BELONG TO MARY ANN PESCE,

OUR SEVERED HEAD?

I DON'T THINK SO.

IT'S A DIFFERENT BUILD.

WHAT'S YOUR GUT INSTINCT?

YOU WERE THERE IN THE MARY GUILFOYLE CRIME SCENE

IN THE WOODS.

IS THIS ANOTHER MULLIN?

IT'S POSSIBLE.

SHE WAS CHOPPED UP.

THIS IS MORE...ELABORATE.

MAYBE HE GOT BETTER AT IT.

CAN I MOVE ON? I NEED TO GET THESE OFF THE BEACH.

WERE THE PARTS THROWN FROM LAND OR FROM A BOAT?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

DRIVE AROUND, CHECK ANY SPOTS OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN?

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

Dave: TURNS OUT THE BODY PARTS ARE FEMALE.

COULD THEY BE FROM THE MISSING AIKO KOO

OR CINDY SHAW, OR EVEN MORE VICTIMS

OF FRENZIED KILLER HERBERT MULLIN?

OR IS THERE SOMETHING SANTA CRUZ P.D. AREN'T TELLING US?
