CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Joe: WE'RE IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, AND A MIDDLE-CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON,

NOT EXACTLY AN HOUR OF THE DAY,

YOU'D EXPECT THERE TO BE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

[ TELEPHONE DIALING ]

Chambers: IT WAS JUST A ROUTINE DAY ON PATROL.

WE GOT THE CALL, "SUBJECT MOANING IN THE BACKYARD."

WHEN I WAS A KID,

I LIVED THREE BLOCKS FROM WHERE THIS OCCURRED.

IT WAS A NICE, QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT'S REPORTED,

BUT A LOT OF TIMES, YOU FIND OUT THAT IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

Joe: THE PHOENIX POLICE DEPARTMENT ARRIVES IN THIS BACKYARD.

AN ELDERLY MAN IS BLEEDING PROFUSELY FROM HIS HEAD,

AND HIS HANDS ARE TIED WITH DUCT TAPE.

[ MOANING ]

Chambers: HE WASN'T ASKING FOR HELP. HE WAS ASKING FOR HIS WIFE.

"WHERE'S MY WIFE?"

Joe: THEY TURN AND LOOK AT THE HOUSE.

YOUR WIFE'S INSIDE.

AND THE INTERIOR DOOR TO THE HOME IS STANDING OPEN,

IS THE SUSPECT STILL HERE?

CALLING FOR BACKUP.

[ MOANS ]

SIR, STAY STILL. HOLD ON.

DISPATCH.

OH, MY GOD. BODY IN HERE!

THIS WAS A HORRIBLE CRIME THAT WE'D STUMBLED UPON.

Joe: I SPENT MY CAREER CLOSING MURDER CASES.

BUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO ANSWERED THE CALL.

IT TAKES A RARE BREED TO SOLVE THE INSOLVABLE...

TO CATCH A RUTHLESS KILLER...

TO FIND JUSTICE FOR THE DEAD.

THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN AMERICAN DETECTIVE.

Burch: I AM RETIRED SERGEANT DARREN BURCH.

IN 1998, I WAS A DETECTIVE

IN THE ADULT SEX CRIMES DETAIL

WITH THE PHOENIX POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG KID, I LEARNED THAT MY GRANDMOTHER

HAD BEEN BRUTALLY RAPED WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD.

I REALIZED VERY QUICKLY, I HATE CRIMINALS.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

IT WAS A MONDAY. I REMEMBER IT VIVIDLY.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

I GET A CALL FROM MY BOSS, WHICH WAS UNUSUAL.

I CAN STILL HEAR HIM SAYING THE WORDS.

"WE HAVE A HOME INVASION OF AN ELDERLY COUPLE,

AND THE WOMAN WAS BRUTALLY RAPED."

EVERY DETECTIVE HAS THAT ONE CASE, FOR WHATEVER REASON,

THIS PARTICULAR CASE IS THAT ONE CASE FOR ME.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

WHAT DO WE GOT?

WE HAVE TWO ELDERLY VICTIMS IN THEIR 80s,

BURCH IS BRIEFED BY THE OFFICERS ON THE SCENE

THAT JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH LIVE IN THIS HOUSE.

THEY'VE LIVED THERE FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

THEY WERE CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS WHO'D GROWN OLD TOGETHER.

JOHN WAS A BIG, SPRY MAN.

WORKED IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY,

SO HE COULD FIX ANYTHING.

HAZEL WAS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

SHE WAS STILL RUNNING THE SHOW IN THE HOUSE,

EVEN AT 81 -- YOU KNOW, IN GREAT SHAPE.

Joe: BURCH LEARNS THEY'VE BOTH BEEN REMOVED BY AMBULANCE

TO A HOSPITAL, BOTH IN VERY CRITICAL CONDITION.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]

BURCH LOOKS AT THIS CRIME SCENE AND FINDS SOME THINGS

THAT ARE VERY DISTURBING TO HIM.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

BURCH IS WELL EXPERIENCED. HE'S SEEN ABOUT EVERYTHING.

THIS, HE'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

Burch: THE SCENE WAS VERY VIOLENT.

WE HAD A LOT OF BLOOD, A LOT OF WEIRD ITEMS.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

Joe: HE SEES AN INSTRUMENT LAYING ON THE FLOOR

THAT IS COVERED IN BLOOD

AND HAS GRAY HAIR ATTACHED TO THE BLOOD.

THIS IS A SOLID STEEL BAR.

THIS IS THE INSTRUMENT USED TO BLUDGEON THIS VICTIM.

HE SEES A BLOODY FLASHLIGHT.

THERE IS A CAN OF CRISCO VEGETABLE PASTE OPEN

ON THE FLOOR, WITH A BLOODY IMPRINT

OF THE FLASHLIGHT IN THE CRISCO.

Burch: IT WAS A HORRIBLE SCENE.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

THIS WAS ABOUT AS GRISLY AS IT GETS.

THE REST OF THE HOUSE HAD THAT TYPICAL

BURGLARY RANSACKING LOOK, WHERE DRAWERS WERE OPEN,

THINGS WERE STREWN ABOUT.

IT WAS HARD TO TELL IF ANYTHING WAS REALLY MISSING.

Joe" ARE THEY LOOKING FOR MONEY, WEAPONS, JEWELRY,

THINGS THAT COMMONLY CAN BE TURNED INTO CASH?

BURCH IS STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE.

BURCH ALSO WONDERS WHY ONE VICTIM IS INSIDE THIS HOME,

BUT HER HUSBAND, JOHN DURNAVICH, IS IN THE BACKYARD.

WHY WOULD HE GO OUTSIDE?

OVER HERE, HE FOUND HIM ON THE GROUND.

Burch: IN THE BACKYARD,

THERE WAS THIS DRAG MARK WHERE WE FOUND JOHN.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS IN THE AREA OF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER

AND HAD BEEN DRAGGED FROM THAT LOCATION

ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

WE COULD SEE THE POWER BOX DOOR WAS OPEN.

Joe: AND HE LOOKS AT THAT BOX

AND HE NOTICES THAT THE MASTER SWITCH IS OFF,

SO SOMEBODY TURNED OFF THE POWER TO THIS HOME.

WHY WOULD THAT HAPPEN?

Burch: LOOKING AT THE YARD,

WE FOUND THIS BEAUTIFUL, PRISTINE SHOEPRINT.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

IT WAS THE ONLY THING WE HAD, BUT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

Joe: THAT'S AS USEFUL AS A FINGERPRINT.

IT CAN BE EXTREMELY UNIQUE.

AND IF WE FIND OUR MAN WEARING A PAIR OF REEBOKS,

WE CAN MATCH THE SHOE ON HIS FOOT

TO THE IMPRESSION IN THAT MUD,

WHICH PUTS HIM AT THIS CRIME SCENE.

ALRIGHT, DON, YOU GOT IT FROM HERE?

YEP. ALRIGHT.

♪♪

FIRST THING I DID WHEN I ARRIVED TO THE HOSPITAL

WAS TALK TO THE DOCTORS.

Joe: THE DOCTOR EXPLAINS THAT MR. DURNAVICH

HAS SUFFERED A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA

AS A RESULT OF BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA.

A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA IS A BRUISING OF THE BRAIN.

Burch: BASICALLY, THE BRAIN IS SWELLING.

HE WAS HIT ABOUT FIVE TIMES WITH A METAL BAR.

JOHN DURNAVICH EXPLAINS THAT HE AND HIS WIFE

HAD BEEN WATCHING TELEVISION

WHEN THE POWER WENT OFF IN THE HOUSE.

HE TOLD HIS WIFE HE WOULD GO OUTSIDE

AND CHECK THE CIRCUIT BOX.

HE SAW THE BOX WAS OPEN AND THE MASTER SWITCH WAS OFF.

AND THEN, NEXT THING HE KNOWS, HE'S ON THE GROUND.

AND HE THEN WENT UNCONSCIOUS

AND DOESN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING AFTER THAT,

UNTIL HE WAS AWAKENED IN A HOSPITAL BY A DOCTOR.

BURCH HAS LEARNED SOMETHING.

THE POWER BOX WAS THE LURE.

YOU HAVE A PERPETRATOR WHO HAS A PLAN.

HE NEEDS TO DRAW SOMEBODY OUT OF THAT HOUSE.

AND THE WAY TO DO IT IS TO TURN OFF THE POWER.

I KIND OF LOOKED AT THIS AS A HOMICIDE, IN THE SENSE

THAT HE INTENDED TO KILL THESE PEOPLE,

ESPECIALLY THE WAY HE BRUTALLY ATTACKED JOHN

AND, IN MY ESTIMATION, LEFT HIM FOR DEAD.

Joe: WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE

HAD CONDUCTED SURVEILLANCE ON THIS HOUSE.

HE KNEW A LOT, AND HE TOOK ADVANTAGE

OF CARRYING OUT A PLAN THAT WORKED QUITE WELL.

[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]

DOC, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT HAZEL?

THE DOCTOR TREATING HAZEL DURNAVICH

SAYS THAT SHE HAS A NUMBER OF CONTUSIONS

AND ABRASIONS, IN EXCESS OF 100,

AND SHE HAD BEEN EXTENSIVELY TORTURED BY ASSAULT

MUCH LONGER THAN HER HUSBAND.

AND IN THE DOCTOR'S OPINION, SHE WAS RAPED WITH AN OBJECT.

THIS DRAWS BURCH'S MEMORY BACK TO THAT CRIME SCENE

AND EXPLAINS WHY THAT BLOODY FLASHLIGHT WAS BLOODY.

Watkiss: PEOPLE LOOK AT A CRIME LIKE THIS

AND THEY WONDER, "HOW COULD YOU ATTACK AN 81-YEAR-OLD WOMAN?"

IT IS THE EPITOME OF THE COWARD.

GUYS LIKE THIS ALWAYS GO FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE TARGETS.

THIS WAS A NICE LADY

WHO HAD BEEN BRUTALIZED BEYOND IMAGINATION.

I WAS EAGER TO TALK TO HAZEL, SEE HOW SHE WAS DOING,

SEE IF I COULD GET SOME TYPE OF SUSPECT INFORMATION.

IT WAS DIFFICULT, AT FIRST, TALKING TO HER,

BECAUSE IT REMIND ME OF MY GRANDMOTHER.

THIS WAS A VERY PETITE, INTELLIGENT, FEISTY WOMAN.

I HAD TO REALLY WORK THROUGH THAT,

IN TERMS OF NOT CRYING OR BEING UPSET,

SEEING THIS WOMAN, BECAUSE SHE LOOKED LIKE

SHE HAD BEEN BEATEN HALF TO DEATH.

WHILE BURCH IS SPEAKING TO HER, HE LOOKS AT HER LEFT HAND.

AND THEN I MENTIONED HER WEDDING RING.

I SAID, "WHERE'S YOUR WEDDING RING?"

"DID THIS MAN TAKE YOUR WEDDING RING?"

AND SHE SAID SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER,

WHICH IS NORMAL IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT.

IT'S A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE.

[ MONITOR BEEPING ]

Burch: THEN, WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT SHE SAW,

IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS GUY DID.

HAZEL IS WONDERING WHAT'S TAKING JOHN SO LONG.

AND SHE SAID SHE LOOKED AT THIS MAN

AND SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

AND HE DROPPED HER HUSBAND TO THE GROUND

AND SAID, "I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I'M DOING."

Burch: AND THEN HE GOES AND STARTS RANSACKING.

AND THEN SHE REMEMBERS HIM COMING BACK,

AND THEN HE SEXUALLY ASSAULTS HER.

Joe: IN MY OWN CAREER, I HAVE HAD ELDERLY VICTIMS,

AND YOUR HEART JUST BLEEDS FOR THEM.

WHAT ANIMAL DID THIS?

YOU FEEL A NEED TO FIND THIS PERSON RIGHT NOW.

Burch: IT WAS VERY, VERY PAINFUL FOR HER IN SO MANY WAYS,

SO I FOCUSED ON THE SUSPECT.

Joe: YEAH, THAT'S A START.

IT'S PRETTY VAGUE, BUT IT'S BETTER THAN MR. X.

Burch: SO I VERY QUICKLY REALIZED WHAT I NEED TO DO IS

SEE IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE THAT KNOWS ABOUT THAT HOUSE.

AND THANKFULLY, THERE WAS A HOUSEKEEPER.

ONCE A WEEK, SOMEBODY WOULD COME IN

AND JUST CLEAN THE MAIN AREAS.

AND SHE SAID HER NAME WAS KATIE POWELL,

AND SHE HAD A KEY TO THE HOUSE,

"BUT SHE DOESN'T WORK FOR US ANYMORE."

THAT DRAWS BURCH'S ATTENTION.

NOW WE'VE DEVELOPED A NAME OF SOMEBODY

WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO COME AND GO FROM THIS HOME,

WHO WAS TERMINATED OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT BY THE DURNAVICHES.

MAYBE IT'S NOTHING. MAYBE IT MEANS EVERYTHING.

Joe: DETECTIVE DARREN BURCH OF PHOENIX P.D.

IS INVESTIGATING THE BRUTAL ATTACK OF AN ELDERLY COUPLE,

JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH.

Chambers: THIS WAS A VIOLENT ATTACK IN THEIR HOME.

YOU'RE NOT HUMAN IF IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOU IN SOME WAY.

Joe: DETECTIVE BURCH HAS INTERVIEWED THE VICTIMS IN THIS CASE

AND HAS LEARNED THAT THEY TERMINATED A HOUSEKEEPER

IN THE RECENT PAST.

HER NAME IS KATIE POWELL.

Burch: I SCHEDULED A SITDOWN VIDEOTAPE INTERVIEW,

KNOWING THAT IF SOMETHING GOES SOUTH,

SHE LAWYERS UP, I'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.

I HAD TO ELIMINATE HER AS A SUSPECT.

HOW'S HE FEELING? BETTER.

I STARTED OFF VERY CASUAL,

NOT KNOWING WHERE IT WAS GOING TO GO.

SHE SEEMED VERY NICE.

SHE SEEMED GENUINELY CONCERNED ABOUT JOHN AND HAZEL.

SHE DIDN'T APPEAR DECEPTIVE.

HE SAID TO HER, "WE UNDERSTAND

YOU WERE FIRED BY THE DURNAVICHES.

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT?"

Burch: THERE WASN'T REALLY AN ISSUE WITH IT, IN TERMS OF BAD BLOOD.

I DIDN'T GET THAT FEELING AT ALL.

WHEN I LEARNED THAT SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND

AND HE HAD BEEN THERE, I HAD TO REALLY KIND OF LOOK

AND DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A CONNECTION.

BURCH IS THINKING LIKE A COP.

EVERYTHING ABOUT HER SAYS SHE'S NOT A PARTICIPANT,

HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS OFFENSE.

BUT HER BOYFRIEND, TERRY FINLEY, IS AN "X" FACTOR.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

Burch: HE KNEW ABOUT THE HOUSE. HE KNEW ABOUT THE LAYOUT.

ALL THOSE THINGS THAT THE SUSPECT MIGHT KNOW,

HE WOULD KNOW, SO I HAD TO ELIMINATE HIM.

MR. FINLEY?

DETECTIVE BURCH, PHOENIX P.D.

MIND IF I ASKED YOU A COUPLE QUESTIONS?

SURE.

Joe: BURCH THEN EXPLAINS

THAT HE'S IN POSSESSION OF INFORMATION

THAT FINLEY HAD RECENT CONTACT WITH THE DURNAVICH FAMILY,

AND THEY'VE BEEN ATTACKED IN THEIR HOME.

NO.FINLEY IS SHOCKED.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A VERY ANGRY CRIMINAL

WHO HAD A CRIMINAL HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.

HE DIDN'T FIT THAT BILL. HE REALLY DIDN'T.

I HAD A TIGHT WINDOW.

WE KNEW WHEN THIS CRIME OCCURRED.

HE OWNED A BUSINESS,

AND HE ALSO WORKED FOR SOMEONE AT THE SAME TIME.

AND SO I WAS ABLE TO GO AND CHECK ON HIS WORK.

Joe: MR. FINLEY WAS AT WORK

DURING THE TIMEFRAME OF THE CRIME,

SO HE HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PARTICIPANT IN IT.

I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM.

SO WHAT COULD BE A LEAD IS GONE.

MR. FINLEY COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS.

BURCH IS NOW IN AN UNENVIABLE POSITION

OF HAVING THE BEST RELIANCE ON EVIDENCE

FOUND AT THE SCENE.

WITH SUCH A VIOLENT SCENE,

GENERALLY, YOU GET SOME TYPE OF EVIDENCE,

LIKE SWEAT, DNA FROM THE SKIN

WHERE SOMEONE'S GRABBING SOMEONE.

RAPE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF DNA, GENERALLY.

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE TOLD ME, "WE HAVE NOTHING."

NOTHING BUT THE SHOEPRINT.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY DNA. WE HAVE NO FINGERPRINTS.

WE HAD NOTHING,

OTHER THAN A SHOEPRINT IN THE BACK ALLEY.

Joe: POLICE HAVE DETERMINED

THAT THE PERPETRATOR SELECTS HIS WEAPONS

FROM WHAT HE DISCOVERS IN THE PREMISES

IN THIS PARTICULAR M.O.,

THE SUSPECT CAME WITH NOTHING OTHER THAN GLOVES.

HE REALLY GOT THE DUCT TAPE,

THE METAL BAR USED TO ATTACK BOTH JOHN AND HAZEL,

THE FLASHLIGHT --

ALL THESE ITEMS WERE ALREADY AT THE SCENE.

AND THAT'S ACTUALLY SHOWS A SIGN OF AN ORGANIZED ABILITY

TO ADAPT TO WHAT'S THERE.

SO HE WILL HAVE A CRIMINAL HISTORY.

AND SADLY, HE'S GOING TO HAVE A FUTURE

UNTIL WE CATCH HIM.

THE CRIME SCENE DIDN'T GIVE US ANY LEADS.

SO WE HAVE TO RE-CANVASS THE AREA.

WE TALK WITH NEIGHBORS.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

Joe: YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT PEOPLE SEE.

I'M WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SORRY TO WAKE YOU UP.

BUT THE ONLY THING THAT BURCH LEARNS

IS THAT EVERYONE THINKS

THAT HAZEL AND JOHN DURNAVICH ARE WONDERFUL.

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO HURT THEM?

THEY'RE THE NICEST PEOPLE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

Burch: I GOT TO ALMOST KNOW THE COUPLE

THROUGH THE FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.

IT WAS A LOVE STORY.

JOHN AND HAZEL WERE GRADE SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS,

AND THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER AND THEY GREW TOGETHER.

Watkiss: THEY'D BEEN TOGETHER FOR 60-PLUS YEARS.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAD A LIFE TOGETHER

AND WE'RE ENJOYING PERHAPS THE LAST ACT

WHEN THIS TERRIBLE TURN OF EVENTS TOOK PLACE.

Joe: SO, MORE POSITIVE NEWS ABOUT THE FAMILY,

BUT NO NEWS ABOUT WHO MR. "X" MIGHT BE.

Burch: HAZEL CALLED ME EVERY DAY.

AND I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP

BECAUSE I GOT A VOICE MESSAGE FROM HER.

[ BEEP ]

FIRST MESSAGE.

I WAS SO FOCUSED ON THE INVESTIGATION,

I DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS IN HARM'S WAY

AND HE WAS GOING TO DIE.

FOR THEM TO, IN THE GOLDEN YEARS,

BE BRUTALIZED LIKE THIS

AND HAVE THAT BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE END WITH SUCH HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

NOT THAT I NEEDED SOMETHING TO KEEP MY FOCUS ON THIS CASE,

BUT I JUST COULD NOT ERASE IT.

I COULD NOT REACH THAT MESSAGE.

Joe: BURCH WAS OVERCOME BY ANGER, BY RAGE,

BY GUILT THAT HE HADN'T FOUND WHO DID THIS YET.

I'VE HAD CASES LIKE THAT.

I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE, AND IT IS AWFUL.

IT IS BEYOND AWFUL.

FAILURE WASN'T AN OPTION.

AND THAT REALLY SOUNDS LIKE CLICHé.

I KNOW IT. BUT IT REALLY IS SO TRUE.

WE COULD NOT FAIL HAZEL AND JOHN WITH THIS CASE.

WE HAD TO SOLVE IT. WE HAD TO GIVE THEM JUSTICE.

♪♪

AFTER JOHN DIED, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO KIND OF WASH AWAY.

I HAD NOTHING LEFT.

SO NOW IT'S TIME

TO LOOK AT CRIME ANALYSIS AGAIN IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

AND THAT'S WHEN I REALLY LOOKED AT THE CRIME SCENE PHOTOS

AND I NOTICED HER HAND.

AND THERE WAS NO WEDDING RING.

AND IT REMINDED ME

ABOUT SOMETHING THAT I COULDN'T DEAL WITH AT THE TIME,

BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT.

I LOOKED AT THAT PHOTO AND THOUGHT, "I WONDER

IF HE REMOVED IT FROM HER." SHE JUST DIDN'T REMEMBER THAT.

THIS GIVES HIM SOMETHING ELSE TO USE

IN SEARCHING FOR SIMILAR CASES.

SO HE BEGINS BY LOOKING AT CASES WHERE WEDDING RINGS OR JEWELRY

HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE VICTIM DURING A VIOLENT SEXUAL ASSAULT.

AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND THREE ROBBERIES AND A RAPE

WHERE THE SUSPECT PHYSICALLY PULLED THE RING OFF.

THAT WAS HUGE, THAT WAS MY GUIDE,

BECAUSE NOW I HAD NOT JUST THE DURNAVICH CRIME SCENE,

I HAD FOUR OTHER CRIME SCENES I COULD LOOK AT

TO TRY TO FIND THIS MONSTER.

THIS IS THE SAME GUY DOING PRECISELY THE SAME CRIME

BECAUSE HE IS A SERIAL RAPIST.

Joe: DETECTIVE DARREN BURCH

IS INVESTIGATING THE ATTACK ON JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH.

IT'S ALREADY CAUSED JOHN DURNAVICH HIS LIFE.

HE HAS DISCOVERED OTHER CASES

INVOLVING PRECISELY THE SAME M.O.

Burch: THIS IS A SERIAL RAPIST.

BY THEIR VERY NATURE, IT'S WHAT THEY DO,

WHAT THEY WANT, WHAT THEY LIVE FOR.

THEY SNEAK UP BEHIND PEOPLE IN THE DARK OF NIGHT,

OR ATTACK THEM WHILE THEY'RE LAYING IN THEIR BEDS.

HE WAS BRUTALIZING, TORMENTING THESE PEOPLE

WHO REALLY ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE VICTIMS.

Joe: WHEN BURCH IS REVIEWING THESE FOUR CASES

HE FINDS IN PHOENIX,

HE NOTICES THAT ONE PARTICULAR VICTIM

SEEMS TO HAVE MORE DETAILS THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.

Burch: THE ONE VICTIM THAT REALLY WAS WONDERFUL,

IN TERMS OF HELPING POLICE WAS SOPHIA ROSENTHAL.

THANKS FOR COMING DOWN. WE APPRECIATE IT.

WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FIND HIM.

SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST WITNESSES BURCH HAS EVER ENCOUNTERED.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE.

SHE SAYS THIS MAN RECENTLY BROKE INTO HER HOME, ATTACKED HER,

STOLE HER WEDDING RING OFF HER FINGER

WITH SUCH FORCE THAT HE BROKE HER FINGER.

Burch: DURING MY INTERVIEW WITH HER,

I KEPT REFERRING TO THE SUSPECT AS A WHITE MALE,

AND ALL THE OTHER REPORTS SAID "WHITE MALE."

A MEDITERRANEAN LOOK.

Joe: SHE DISTINCTLY REMEMBERS HIS APPEARANCE.

SHE LITERALLY SAID HE WAS MEDITERRANEAN,

AND THAT WAS HUGE BECAUSE THAT GAVE ME ANOTHER DIRECTION

TO TAKE THIS.

BURCH DECIDES TO PUT HER WITH A POLICE ARTIST

SO THEY CAN DRAW THIS INDIVIDUAL.

BUT SHE'S ALSO AN ARTIST

AND ASKS IF SHE CAN DRAW THE PICTURE.

NOW, THAT'S EXTREMELY UNUSUAL,

BUT ROSENTHAL HAS THE SKILLS NECESSARY.

♪♪

AND SHE DRAWS A VERY GOOD DRAWING OF AN INDIVIDUAL.

BURCH IS ELATED THAT HE HAS THIS DRAWING OF THIS GUY

TO SHOW TO HAZEL DURNAVICH.

♪♪

Burch: UNFORTUNATELY, THE NEXT TIME I INTERVIEW HER,

SHE HAD A HARD TIME TALKING ABOUT THE RAPE.

SHE COULD NOT IDENTIFY HIM FROM A COMPOSITE

THAT SOPHIA GAVE ME.

SHE COULDN'T GIVE ME ANY KIND OF DESCRIPTION

OF THE FACE ITSELF,

AS IF WHAT SHE SAW WAS A BLANK FACE.

I THINK HER MEMORY OF THAT EVENT WAS SO SKEWED

BY THE HORRIFIC NATURE OF THAT CRIME.

IT'S JUST SO REALLY SAD.

I WANT TO GIVE HER JUSTICE.

AND AT LEAST NOW, WE HAD A DESCRIPTION.

WE HAD A COMPOSITE.

WE HAD ENOUGH WHERE, WE COULD FIND HIM,

WE COULD THEN BUILD A CASE AROUND IT.

Joe: BURCH HAS NO IDEA WHERE THIS GUY IS.

HE COULD BE ANYWHERE AND COULD HAVE BEEN OTHER PLACES

DOING PRECISELY THE SAME THING.

THIS IS WHAT MOTIVATES HIM TO MAKE A NATIONAL BROADCAST.

HE PUTS TOGETHER A BULLETIN WHICH HE SENDS

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, THROUGH THE SYSTEM

CALLED THE VIOLENT CRIMINAL APPREHENSION PROGRAM,

ASKING FOR DETECTIVES WHO CAN RESPOND WITH A SIMILAR CASE.

Burch: I HAD TO CATCH HIM. WE HAD TO.

HE'S GOING TO KILL SOMEONE

IF HE HASN'T ALREADY KILLED SOMEONE.

Joe: WHEN YOU PUT OUT THESE BULLETS,

YOU WAIT FOR IT TO SIMMER ON THE STOVE

TO SEE IF IT MAKES SOUP.

YOU'RE HOPEFUL YOU'RE GOING TO GET REPLIES,

BUT YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF YOU WILL.

Burch: AT THIS POINT, OH, MY GOSH, NINE MONTHS IS GOING BY.

THE FRUSTRATIONS WERE HORRIBLE, HEART-WRENCHING.

EVERY WEEK, I PUT THAT BULLETIN OUT.

WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER MONTH AFTER MONTH.

Pollaccia: IN 1998, I WAS A DETECTIVE

WITH THE OAKLAND PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT IN SOUTH FLORIDA.

TELETYPES WOULD COME THROUGH 24 HOURS A DAY

FROM ALL AGENCIES.

EACH DAY, WHEN I CAME TO WORK, I WOULD KIND OF

SKIM THROUGH THEM TO SEE IF ANYTHING PERTAINED

TO WHAT I WAS DOING.

AND THERE WAS A TELETYPE FROM DETECTIVE BURCH, FROM PHOENIX.

AND I'M READING THE TELETYPE,

AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN READING MY OWN POLICE REPORT.

IT WAS THE SAME EXACT STORY.

♪♪

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]Burch: I STILL GET CHILLS

THINKING ABOUT THAT PHONE CALL.

KAREN TOLD ME, "I HAVE A CASE JUST LIKE YOURS.

IT HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 20th."

OCTOBER 20TH IS LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY

AFTER THE DURNAVICH CRIME.

THAT SHOCKED ME, TO BE THAT BRAZEN,

SUCH A SEXUAL PREDATOR, THAT 24 HOURS LATER,

HE DOES A CRIME, OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY.

Joe: THIS CERTAINLY INDICATES WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE

WHO IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.

Joe: DETECTIVE BURCH, PHOENIX P.D.

HAS PUT OUT A NATIONWIDE BULLETIN

DESCRIBING THE M.O. IN THE ATTACK

ON JOHN AND HAZEL DURNAVICH AND HAS RECEIVED THE MAGIC REPLY

FROM A DETECTIVE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA

WHO HAS A SIMILAR CASE.

I WAS ASSIGNED A HOME-INVASION CASE

THAT RESULTED IN A SEXUAL BATTERY.

IT WAS AN ELDERLY COUPLE.

THE HUSBAND WAS DISABLED.

THE SUSPECT HAD FORCED HIS WAY INTO THE HOME

WHEN SHE ANSWERED THE DOOR.

HE CAME WITH NO SUPPLIES.

HE USED HER PLASTIC GLOVES.

NO!

HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK HER WEDDING RING.

AFTER HE FINISHED RANSACKING THE HOUSE,

A SEXUAL BATTERY TOOK PLACE.

Joe: SHE THEN TELLS BURCH

THE CRITICAL PIECE OF INFORMATION

HE WAS SO HOPEFUL TO RECEIVE.

WE DID LIFT ONE FINGERPRINT OFF THE DRESSER

THAT HE HAD LEFT THERE PRIOR TO PUTTING THE GLOVES ON.

AND WE HAD A HIT ON THE PRINT.

IT MATCHED TO MIKE MATLOW,

WHO ALSO WENT BY THE NAME OF MIKE URICH.

Burch: I LITERALLY DID A HAPPY DANCE

AND YELLED TO MY BOSS, "WE GOT HIM. WE GOT A NAME."

AND THAT'S EVERYTHING, BECAUSE

NOW YOU CAN COMPARE PRINTS AND DNA.

YOU CAN DO ALL THOSE THINGS. YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A NAME.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT BEFORE. IT WAS SO EXCITING.

Pollaccia: IMMEDIATELY, I TRIED TO DO A CRIMINAL HISTORY ON HIM,

AND I CAME UP WITH NUMEROUS NAMES,

NUMEROUS DATES OF BIRTH, DRIVER'S LICENSES.

Joe: SHE REALIZES THAT HE IS A MEMBER

OR A FORMER MEMBER OF A ROMANI CLAN.

Reporter: ROMANI IMMIGRANTS FROM EASTERN EUROPE

CELEBRATING THE BIRTHDAY OF A CHICAGO ROMA KING,

WITH MUSIC, DANCING, AND A TRADITIONAL FEAST.

BUT LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE OTHER FAMILIES,

WHO HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THIS ONE,

THAT ARE INVOLVED IN ORGANIZED CRIME RINGS.

FOR DECADES, THEY ROAMED AMERICA IN CARAVANS

OF TRAVEL TRAILERS AND PICKUP TRUCKS.

BUT POLICE SAY THESE CRIMINALS HAVE CHANGED WITH THE TIMES.

BECOME SO BOLD NOW

THAT THEY FLY TO VARIOUS PARTS OF THE COUNTRY

AND RENT VEHICLES OUT THERE.

Chambers: MOST OF THE CASES I DEALT WITH

WERE OVER MONETARY CONTRACTUAL DEALS.

IT WAS ALWAYS ROOF REPAIRS, DRIVEWAY REPAIRS,

THINGS THAT WEREN'T DONE OR ACCOMPLISHED.

SOMEBODY COMES OUT AND SAYS THEY CAN DO IT

FOR $800 CASH TODAY,

AND YOU DON'T SEE THEM THE NEXT DAY,

AND YOUR ROOF IS STILL IN DISREPAIR.

THAT'S CALLED A LEARNING LESSON.

Burch: IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EDUCATION,

LEARNING ABOUT THE CRIME SYNDICATES,

THESE ORGANIZED FAMILIES.

I KNEW NOTHING, OTHER THAN WHAT I SAW IN MOVIES.

Joe: MR. URICH IS A MEMBER OF ONE OF THESE GROUPS,

WHICH VERY CONVENIENTLY EXPLAINS HIS TOURING AROUND THE COUNTRY.

THEY MOVE TO AVOID ARREST.

MIKE URICH IS WITH THE FAMILY DOING THESE CONS

AND DOING THESE SCAMS.

BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN PART OF HIM,

THAT SEXUAL PREDATOR,

THAT VIOLENT NATURE THAT NEEDS TO ATTACK WOMEN,

IS THERE, AND I THINK AT SOME POINT

HE GOES ROGUE, HE GOES OFF THE RAILS,

AND HE STARTS DOING THESE SIDE CRIMES.

Joe: SHE TELLS BURCH THAT IN HER OPINION,

IT'S LIKELY URICH HAS FLED THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

NOW THE QUESTION BECOMES, "WHERE IS HE?"

Pollaccia: THERE WAS NO LEADS. WE CANVASSED THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I FOUND ONE NEIGHBOR THAT HAD FOUND A YELLOW STATION WAGON

DURING THE TIME OF THE CRIME, PARKED TWO HOUSES AWAY.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS ODD BECAUSE IT HAD ARIZONA TAGS ON IT,

AND THAT WAS A RENTAL HOUSE THAT WAS VACANT.

SO I GOT A SEARCH WARRANT FOR THE TOWN HOME.

IT WAS A JACKPOT.

IT WAS FILLED WITH LARGE GREEN GARBAGE BAGS,

PACKED FLOOR TO CEILING, EVERY ROOM.

I FOUND A HUGE DUFFEL BAG IN ONE OF THE CLOSETS,

FILLED WITH JEWELRY. LATER, WE FIGURED OUT

IT WAS OVER A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS IN JEWELRY IN IT.

Burch: SO, THERE IN THIS CRIME SCENE,

RINGS -- LOTS AND LOTS OF RINGS.

MY VICTIM'S RINGS WERE THERE AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

Pollaccia: I FOUND ABOUT 20 BOXES OF BRAND-NEW SNEAKERS --

REEBOK SNEAKERS.

WHEN I TALKED TO DETECTIVE BURCH,

HE SAID HE HAD A FOOTPRINT LEFT AT HIS SCENE

FROM A REEBOK SNEAKER.

SO, AT THAT POINT, I TOOK SCANS OF THEM

AND SENT HIM THE SCANS I HAD, TO SEE IF THEY MATCHED

ANY OF HIS FOOTPRINTS THAT WERE LEFT AT THE SCENE.

I WAS SO EXCITED WITH THAT,

BECAUSE NOW I CAN BRING IN THE ONLY EVIDENCE I HAVE

WITH THE DURNAVICH CASE.

IT WAS THAT SHOEPRINT.

Joe: BURCH IS NOW ARMED

WITH MORE THAN A DRAWING AND A DESCRIPTION.

HE'S ARMED WITH A PHOTOGRAPH AND A NAME.

IT'S MIKE URICH, AND THIS IS HIS PICTURE.

HE ADDS THAT TO HIS BULLETIN

AND SENDS THAT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND WHAT RETURNS IS A FLOOD OF INFORMATION.

Burch: POLICE DEPARTMENTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY

ARE REPORTING ACTIVITY OF MIKE URICH.

SO I'M GETTING CALLS FROM NEVADA, UTAH,

TEXAS, MEXICO, INDIANA.

I'M JUST GETTING A FLOOD OF CALLS.

Joe: ONE OF THE REPLIES TO BURCH'S BULLETIN

COMES FROM THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[ SIREN WAILS ]

THEY INFORM BURCH THAT PATROL OFFICERS

RESPONDED TO A CRIME IN PROGRESS,

WERE MICHAEL URICH WAS ATTACKING AN ELDERLY WOMAN

WITHOUT REALIZING THAT HER DAUGHTER WAS HIDING UPSTAIRS

AND WAS ON THE PHONE TO 911.

CHICAGO P.D. ARRIVES AND ARRESTS MR. URICH

IN THE ACT OF COMMITTING THE CRIME.

WHEN THEY TAKE HIM BEFORE A JUDGE AND A COURT,

URICH'S ATTORNEY ARGUES THAT HE SUFFERS

FROM MENTAL INCOMPETENCE.

HE WAS CONVICTED AND SENTENCED TO A MENTAL HEALTH WARD.

AND I WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO HIM

WHO THIS MONSTER WAS THAT THEY HAD IN CUSTODY.

THEY HAD NO IDEA ANY OF THIS WAS HAPPENING.

THEY JUST HAD THEIR ONE CRIME.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT,

HE WAS GOING TO BE GETTING OUT REAL SOON.

SO WE ALL SUDDENLY WENT

FROM "WE PLENTY OF TIME IN THE WORLD"

TO "WE HAVE TO GO NOW."

Joe: DETECTIVE BURCH HAS BEEN WORKING THE DURNAVICH CASE

AND HAS OBTAINED INFORMATION

THAT HIS SUSPECT IS MIKE URICH,

WHO IS CURRENTLY IN A PSYCHIATRIC WARD IN ILLINOIS.

BURCH IS AWARE HE NEEDS TO MOVE QUICKLY.

Watkiss: DARREN REALIZED THAT THERE ARE

OTHER COPS IN OTHER CITIES THAT ARE GOING TO GRAB THIS GUY.

AND HE SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? FOR JOHN AND HAZEL,

I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY COME BACK TO ARIZONA."

Joe: HE TAKES HIS SERGEANT AND THEY FLY TO ILLINOIS

TO INTERROGATE MIKE URICH BEFORE HE'S RELEASED

AND IN THE WIND AGAIN.

Burch: THERE WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE.

AND SO I WAS NERVOUS.

I'VE DONE SO MANY INTERVIEWS IN MY 30 YEARS.

IT WAS DIFFERENT IN THE SENSE

THAT I HAD SO MUCH AT STAKE.

I KEPT HEARING THE RECORDING OF HAZEL

TALKING ABOUT WHEN JOHN DIED.

I WANTED TO GET HIM TO MAKE SOME ADMISSION.

Joe: HE HAS A CASSETTE TAPE WITH A 30-MINUTE SPAN.

HE'S GOT 30 MINUTES

TO HAVE URICH SAY SOMETHING INCRIMINATING.

Burch: AND WHEN HE STARTED WALKING UP,

I SEE HE'S A BIG, BIG GUY.

HE COULD HAVE SQUISHED ME WITH ONE THIGH.

I MEAN, THAT'S HOW BIG THIS GUY WAS.

Burch: AND HE HAS THAT LOOK

LIKE, THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS ARROGANCE.

AND HE COMES IN,

AND THERE WAS A CALM THAT CAME OVER ME,

BECAUSE NOW, "YEAH, I GOT YOU, I GOT YOU.

AND NOW YOU GOT TO PLAY BY MY RULES."

Joe: AS THE CONVERSATION BEGINS,

HE WAIVES HIS RIGHTS AND SAYS HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE.

PERFECT, MR. URICH,

LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION.

BURCH BEGINS ASKING INNOCUOUS QUESTIONS,

"COULD WE HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR YOU?"

I HAD SO MUCH ADRENALINE AND EXCITEMENT BY THIS TIME

THAT I WAS CONTAINING IT, BECAUSE I KNEW HE HAD JUST

GIVEN UP HIMSELF AT THE LOCATION WHERE THE DURNAVICHES LIVED

AT THE TIME OF THE CRIME.

Joe: HE DOESN'T REACT TO THAT,

BUT IN HIS MIND, STRIKE ONE FOR MR. URICH.

I'LL BE HONEST. IT'S A GUILTY PLEASURE.

IT'S A GUILTY PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT MONSTER

IN THE FACE AND USE A RUSE AGAINST HIM.

SO I TALKED ABOUT THE PROPERTY ASPECT

OF HIS CRIMES. HE WAS STILL IN GREEN.

Pollaccia: THERE'S A WAY OF TALKING TO CONMEN.

YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT THEM EVERY TIME THEY TELL YOU A LIE

OR EVERY TIME THEY CHANGE THEIR STORY.

AND YOU CAN'T LET IT WAIT.

THEY THINK THEY'RE CONNING YOU,

YOU GOT TO CONFRONT THEM IMMEDIATELY,

BECAUSE IT THROWS THEM OFF.

JIM MARKEY SHOWED THE SHOEPRINT

AND SAID, "WELL, THESE ARE YOUR SHOES,"

AS IF THAT'S A GIVEN.

AND THEN HE BIT ON IT.

I WAS SHOCKED.

MY JAW MAY HAVE DROPPED,

BECAUSE I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.

THAT'S STRIKE TWO AND THREE.

HE'S AN INSTINCTUAL ANIMAL

WHEN IT COMES TO PHYSICAL ATTACK.

BUT HE'S A MORON WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING ELSE.

WE HAD VERY LITTLE TIME LEFT IN THE RECORDING,

SO I FELT THIS WAS THE PERFECT TIME

TO BRING THE HAMMER DOWN.

WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

Joe: WHEN YOU GET A STATEMENT LIKE THAT,

THEN YOU JUST HIT THE BALL OUT OF YANKEE STADIUM.

YOU DID THIS IN A FEW MINUTES,

AND URICH IS BEYOND COOPERATIVE, IN TERMS OF PROVIDING YOU

WITH THE ROPE YOU NEED TO HANG HIM WITH.

AND THE LOOK ON HIS FACE...

NO!...THAT EXPLODED.

IT WAS LIKE POPPING A BALLOON.

THERE'S MORE THAN SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

TO CAUSE THE EXTRADITION OF MR. URICH

BACK TO PHOENIX, ARIZONA,

TO FACE CHARGES IN THE DURNAVICH CASE.

AND SINCE THEY HAVE HIM FIRST,

EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT.

AFTERWARDS, WE WERE GIDDY WITH EXCITEMENT.

WE GOT HIM. IT JUST FELT REALLY GOOD.

SO GOOD THAT BEFORE WE HIT THE PLANE BACK TO PHOENIX,

WE SAW A CHICAGO CUBS GAME AT WRIGLEY FIELD.

IT WAS REALLY COOL.

IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET.

♪♪

Joe: SO IF YOU CONSIDER WHAT URICH DID IN THE DURNAVICH CASE,

HE'S THINKING ABOUT THIS.

HE'S SURVEILLING THEM.

HE IDENTIFIES THEM AS WEAK AND ELDERLY,

EASILY OVERCOME.

WHEN HE CLIMBED OVER THAT FENCE,

URICH OPENED THE SHED

AND HE FINDS THE BAR FROM A WEIGHT SET.

HE PICKS IT UP AND WALKS TO THE POWER BOX

TO KILL THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY TO THE HOUSE.

Burch: JOHN WAS THE HANDYMAN.

SO WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT,

THERE WASN'T A SECOND THOUGHT WHAT JOHN WAS GOING TO DO.

HE WAS GOING TO CHECK THE BREAKERS.

[ GRUNTS ][ MOANS ]

Hazel: JOHN?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Urich: I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I'M DOING.

AAH!

Burch: THE IDEA OF A HOME INVASION,

BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE BRUTALLY BEATEN,

GAGGED, BOUND.

AND THEN FOR HER TO BE RAPED WAS BEYOND THE PALE.

Joe: AFTER HE ASSAULTS HAZEL, HE TAKES HER WEDDING RING.

HE COMMITS THIS VIOLENT, HORRIBLE CRIME,

GOES RIGHT BACK OUT OVER THE SAME FENCE,

LEAVES HIS SHOEPRINT IN THE MUD, AND GOES ON HIS MERRY WAY.

HE'S OFF TO FIND ANOTHER VICTIM.

Burch: SO, AS WE TAKE THE FLIGHT BACK TO PHOENIX,

WE HAVE THE PHOTOGRAPHIC LINEUP THAT I'VE DONE

WITH THESE OTHER VICTIMS, THESE ROBBERY VICTIMS,

THAT'S HIM.

AND EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS ABLE TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY

MIKE URICH AS THE PERSON WHO ATTACKED THEM.

I HAVE ALL THIS GREAT STUFF.

IT'S LITERALLY, TRULY A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE.

HE PLED OUT TO A LOT OF CRIMES.

HE PLED OUT TO THE SEXUAL ASSAULT OF SOPHIA.

HE DID PLEAD OUT TO ATTACKING JOHN AND HAZEL.

IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF SENTENCING HIM.

Joe: HE KNOWS THAT HE'S GOING TO BE

LOCKED UP IN A BOX FOR THE REST OF HIS DAYS,

AND DECIDES THE COWARD'S WAY OUT IS TO END HIS LIFE.

HE MAKES A NOOSE OUT OF A BEDSHEET

AND HANGS HIMSELF IN THE CELL.

Burch: I WAS GLAD.

HE SAVED THE VICTIMS FROM HAVING TO GO TO COURT.

I WAS VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THAT HE KILLED HIMSELF.

I REALLY WAS.

♪♪

THERE WAS THIS BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY,

AND FOR IT TO END ON SUCH A HORRIFIC NOTE

OF NOT JUST TRAGEDY, BUT TORMENT, THAT HURTS.

TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM,

YOU THINK, "WHY?"

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S EVER GOING TO BE

A GOOD ANSWER TO THAT.

Burch: AS AN INVESTIGATOR, YOU WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE JUSTICE.

THE CULMINATION OF THIS CASE, THE ARREST,

THAT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THE DURNAVICHES.

THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE ME A DETAILED ACCOUNT

OF WHAT HE DID IS WHAT GAVE ME THE PERSISTENCE

TO CONTINUE THIS INVESTIGATION

AND LOOK FOR OTHER POTENTIAL VICTIMS.

BECAUSE OF THEM, WE GOT THIS MONSTER.

Joe: DETECTIVE DARREN BURCH DOESN'T QUIT.

HE DOES WHAT HE WAS MADE TO DO -- FIND THE BAD GUY.

SOMEBODY HAS TO.
