1
00:00:01,630 --> 00:00:03,030
[newscaster]As many as a dozen
murder cases
2
00:00:03,070 --> 00:00:06,200
can now be connected
to alleged serial killer
Bruce Lindahl.
3
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:09,800
Bruce Lindahl was a predator
who hid in plain sight.
4
00:00:09,830 --> 00:00:13,130
[woman] Just four houses
from my girlfriend's house.
5
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:15,470
[Patrick]He was the charismatic
neighbor down the street
6
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:18,700
with a friendly smile
and disarming eyes.
7
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:21,630
He had the goddamn this
blue eyes you've ever seen.
8
00:00:21,670 --> 00:00:24,130
He exploited the young
and the innocent.
9
00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:26,270
[newscaster 1]Investigators made sure
to retrieve the DNA--
10
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:27,900
[newscaster 2]Body was found in rural--
11
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:29,700
[newscaster 3]Sexually assaulted and killed.
12
00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:32,170
And for every victim
they uncover now,
13
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,630
there are many more
that we don't know about.
14
00:00:34,670 --> 00:00:38,200
She has not been seen or heard
from since her disappearance.
15
00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:41,330
At People magazine
we wanted to share the stories
16
00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:43,330
of the people
who survived this monster.
17
00:00:43,370 --> 00:00:45,600
I never thought that
40 years after something
18
00:00:45,630 --> 00:00:49,670
so horrible happened to me
that it would come to light.
19
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:51,430
I was in real danger
and didn't know it.
20
00:00:52,830 --> 00:00:56,030
I fell right into the trap
like a trapped animal.
21
00:00:57,730 --> 00:01:00,370
[theme music playing]
22
00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:24,170
[Sherry] I'm a couple
of different people
in this story.
23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,670
I'm a girl who lost
her best friend
in high school.
24
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:30,570
And I'm a girl
who dated a man
25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,720
who harmed and threatened
and murdered a lot of women.
26
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:42,670
A man who was controlling
everything that I was doing
without realizing it.
27
00:01:44,930 --> 00:01:48,900
Growing up back in 1970s,
Downers Grove, Illinois,
28
00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:52,530
was very much
a Mayberry type of place.
29
00:01:52,570 --> 00:01:53,830
Very quiet.
30
00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:55,030
You never locked your doors.
31
00:01:55,070 --> 00:01:57,330
And nobody ever worried
about anything.
32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,330
At 19, life
was extremely busy.
33
00:02:01,370 --> 00:02:03,070
I was always
working two jobs.
34
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:04,500
I was keeping an apartment.
35
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:06,430
I started working
at a restaurant
36
00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:09,690
where I had met someone
who owned a plane.
37
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,800
And was a flight instructor,
38
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:13,670
and he offered to give me
flying lessons
39
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:15,830
for the price of gasoline.
40
00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:17,900
So if I could get enough
gasoline money together,
41
00:02:17,930 --> 00:02:20,320
I could take as many
flying lessons as I wanted.
42
00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:23,630
To sit in that front seat
and take off
43
00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:25,170
was actually
very scary for me,
44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,670
but it was almost like,
45
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:30,670
one of those fun, scary
like roller coaster ride.
46
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:34,770
And I fell in love with flying
right after that first flight.
47
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:37,070
That's what I learned
to love to do.
48
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,320
It was an adventure.
49
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:40,730
It was freedom.
50
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:43,000
[Samira] She fell in love
with it.
51
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:44,930
There was no
going back for her.
52
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:47,900
But it was also
during her flying lessons
53
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:49,800
that she met Bruce Lindahl.
54
00:02:49,820 --> 00:02:54,770
Who would eventually
take her life down a deep,
sinister spiral.
55
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:58,600
I met a parachute instructor
at the airport.
56
00:02:58,630 --> 00:03:00,200
His name is Bruce.
57
00:03:00,230 --> 00:03:01,770
He was 20 something.
58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,230
He said, "Hello.
59
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:05,030
Do you fly out here
all the time?"
60
00:03:05,070 --> 00:03:07,800
And I said, "Yeah, I do.
I'm here all the time."
61
00:03:08,970 --> 00:03:12,000
And when I had landed
the plane, he was still here.
62
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:13,500
He asked me
where I worked,
63
00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:16,270
and I had told him
the restaurant
where I was working at.
64
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:21,030
And he came by
later that day,
and sat in my section.
65
00:03:22,170 --> 00:03:25,630
He had incredibly
deep blue eyes,
66
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:29,230
and you just couldn't
take your eyes off
of his eyes.
67
00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:31,130
They actually sparkled
when he talked,
68
00:03:31,170 --> 00:03:33,300
and he had
such a great smile.
69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,800
And he was very charismatic
and very down to earth.
70
00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:40,970
And it was just so intense
71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,630
on everything you were
saying all the time.
72
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:46,100
And we hit it off
like right away.
73
00:03:46,130 --> 00:03:47,530
He paid a lot
of attention to me,
74
00:03:47,570 --> 00:03:49,000
so I paid a lot
of attention to him.
75
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:52,370
You know, I think back,
76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,970
I didn't know I had anything
to be afraid of at the time.
77
00:03:55,930 --> 00:03:57,670
Sherry and Bruce
begin dating,
78
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,670
and soon Bruce
won't let her out
of his sight.
79
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:03,030
[Sherry] My boss was never
happy about him coming in
80
00:04:03,070 --> 00:04:05,870
because he was always
taking up so much
of my attention.
81
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:09,000
I just told him he had
to stop seeing me at work
82
00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:11,600
because he was getting me
in trouble all the time.
83
00:04:11,630 --> 00:04:14,500
He said, "Okay,
I'll be outside waiting."
84
00:04:14,530 --> 00:04:17,320
At the time I said,
"Okay, go outside and wait
85
00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:20,130
and he would sit out
and wait for me
86
00:04:20,170 --> 00:04:21,870
[producer speaking]
87
00:04:21,890 --> 00:04:23,970
Yeah, I didn't think
anything of it.
88
00:04:26,830 --> 00:04:28,970
Now I know how creepy
it was the fact
89
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,430
that he always wanted
to know where I was
90
00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:33,030
and what I was
doing all the time.
91
00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:35,530
Yeah, hindsight.
92
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:37,500
Twenty-20 type of deal.
93
00:04:38,630 --> 00:04:41,370
I was being stalked
and didn't realize
that I was.
94
00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:45,500
Then one day,
Sherry and Bruce
have a conversation
95
00:04:45,530 --> 00:04:47,430
that stops her dead
in her tracks.
96
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,970
[Sherry] We were driving by
the university in Lisle
97
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,230
and Bruce had said,
"That's where I like
to go hiking.
98
00:04:54,270 --> 00:04:56,700
Let's go back there."
And I said, "I'm not
going back there.
99
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:59,530
That's where they found
my bod-- my friend's body."
100
00:04:59,570 --> 00:05:01,500
And he just looked at me
and he goes,
101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,730
"Which friend is that?"
102
00:05:04,770 --> 00:05:08,170
And I said, "My girlfriend
Beth, that I grew up with."
103
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,770
And then he became very,
very interested in Beth.
104
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,000
And what happened to Beth?
105
00:05:14,130 --> 00:05:16,470
[Patrick] Elizabeth Drews
was a teenage girl
106
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,970
whose family moved
to Downers Grove, Illinois,
107
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,230
in the early 1970s.
108
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,930
Her friends called her Beth.
109
00:05:22,970 --> 00:05:25,100
Beth and I were best friends
from the very beginning.
110
00:05:25,130 --> 00:05:26,270
From the day we met.
111
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:28,670
We had regular sleepovers.
112
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:30,330
And we'd stay up
all night long
113
00:05:30,370 --> 00:05:32,230
running around
the neighborhood.
114
00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:34,570
We bent the rules,
like sneaking out at night,
115
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,700
and we thought,
"This is cool.
Let's go out."
116
00:05:36,730 --> 00:05:37,730
Two or three o'clock
in the morning
117
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:39,570
go sneak down the street.
118
00:05:41,730 --> 00:05:44,170
From my
16-year-old perspective,
119
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,370
it looked like her parents
were way, way too strict.
120
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,000
She was grounded
for a lot of staff.
121
00:05:50,030 --> 00:05:51,570
That's one of the reasons
why we started
122
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,400
sneaking out at
two or three o'clock
in the morning.
123
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:56,630
[chuckles] Because she was
grounded all the time.
124
00:05:56,670 --> 00:05:58,570
Sherry and Beth
are best friends
125
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,500
into their high school years.
126
00:06:00,530 --> 00:06:04,930
But that comes to a stop
on June 1st, 1977.
127
00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:06,670
When Beth goes missing.
128
00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:09,900
[phone ringing]
129
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
[Sherry] The phone rang
and it was best Mom.
130
00:06:14,030 --> 00:06:15,870
She was asking if Beth
was over at our house
131
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:17,400
'cause she hadn't
come home all day.
132
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:20,100
[Patrick] Beth is reported
missing to police.
133
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:22,730
But after interviewing
family and friends,
134
00:06:22,770 --> 00:06:24,430
investigators come up
with a theory
135
00:06:24,470 --> 00:06:27,100
that is not popular
with Beth's friends.
136
00:06:27,130 --> 00:06:28,700
[Sherry] They said that
she was a runaway.
137
00:06:28,730 --> 00:06:29,670
Right away.
138
00:06:29,700 --> 00:06:31,670
I guess because
she was a teenager
139
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:33,530
and she was arguing
with her parents
140
00:06:33,570 --> 00:06:36,270
and we kept saying
that she wasn't a runaway
141
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:37,870
and they kept saying,
"No, she's a runaway."
142
00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:39,230
That's the angle they took.
143
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:44,070
She wouldn't have left
and not contacted us.
144
00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:46,100
It's frustrating
talking about it now
145
00:06:46,130 --> 00:06:47,870
because I know
so much more.
146
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:49,000
They were wrong
147
00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:51,000
and they just said no,
"We're right."
148
00:06:51,770 --> 00:06:53,970
And they didn't
want to listen.
149
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,100
[Samira] On October 6th, 1977
150
00:06:58,130 --> 00:07:00,570
four months
after her disappearance,
151
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,530
Beth's remains are found
in the woods in Lisle,
152
00:07:03,570 --> 00:07:05,600
near a local university.
153
00:07:07,130 --> 00:07:09,730
[Sherry] That day
was my 17th birthday,
154
00:07:11,570 --> 00:07:14,830
She was in the woods
next to the university
in Lisle,
155
00:07:16,030 --> 00:07:19,030
So my 17 year was a very
hard, difficult year.
156
00:07:21,070 --> 00:07:24,000
[Patrick] Beth's death
is categorized as unnatural.
157
00:07:24,030 --> 00:07:26,830
And local authorities
begin an investigation.
158
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:28,770
[Samira] She was found
in the same woods
159
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,900
where the body of another
student was found
160
00:07:31,930 --> 00:07:33,900
just two years before Beth's.
161
00:07:34,470 --> 00:07:36,130
Her name was Pam Maurer.
162
00:07:37,470 --> 00:07:39,830
Pam Maurer
was a 16-year-old girl
163
00:07:39,870 --> 00:07:41,930
from Woodridge, Illinois.
164
00:07:41,970 --> 00:07:45,430
She was, by all accounts,
just a quiet, nice girl,
165
00:07:45,470 --> 00:07:48,100
somewhat gregarious,
average student.
166
00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:49,930
And she liked hanging out
with her friends.
167
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:53,900
On January 12th, 1976
168
00:07:53,930 --> 00:07:55,800
she disappeared,
and then the next morning
169
00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:59,330
they found her body
on the side of a road
in Lisle.
170
00:07:59,370 --> 00:08:01,470
She was raped
and she had been strangled.
171
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,200
A piece of rubber
automotive hose
was recovered
172
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:06,630
near her body that we believe
was the murder weapon.
173
00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:10,130
[Patrick] Pam Maurer's murder
goes unsolved,
174
00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:12,270
and within a month
into the Beth Drew's case,
175
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:14,400
that investigation stalls too.
176
00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:17,800
[Samira] At this time,
police are completely unaware
177
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:19,500
that there is a serial killer
178
00:08:19,530 --> 00:08:22,300
operating right
in their backyard.
179
00:08:22,330 --> 00:08:24,200
And his name
is Bruce Lindahl.
180
00:08:25,230 --> 00:08:26,930
[ominous music playing]
181
00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:30,530
Police don't make a connection
between the deaths
182
00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:32,370
of Pam Maurer and Beth Drews.
183
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,600
and it leaves Beth's
family and friends
without any answers.
184
00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:39,100
Her mom had an extremely
tough time after the loss.
185
00:08:41,570 --> 00:08:42,730
Extremely tough time.
186
00:08:42,770 --> 00:08:43,970
[producer speaking]
187
00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:46,270
I don't know.
188
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:47,830
They moved away.
189
00:08:48,930 --> 00:08:52,400
Eventually, her family
moved away
and moved out of state.
190
00:08:53,570 --> 00:08:55,600
But I'm sure the memories
were just too tough.
191
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,070
Teenage years
grew into adult years,
192
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:04,970
and over time,
life just changed.
193
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,070
And that's how I moved on.
194
00:09:10,170 --> 00:09:13,770
So at 19, I'm dating Bruce
for about a month or so,
195
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,670
and he became highly
focused in on Beth
196
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:17,930
and what happened
to Beth.
197
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:20,530
He was asking me
about the police.
198
00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:22,000
What were they asking you?
199
00:09:22,030 --> 00:09:23,130
Who were they focused on?
200
00:09:23,170 --> 00:09:25,730
Who did they think
did it? Constantly.
201
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:29,130
I mean, it became
an everyday topic for us.
202
00:09:29,170 --> 00:09:31,700
At the time,
I didn't find it odd
203
00:09:31,730 --> 00:09:33,170
because I was really young.
204
00:09:34,570 --> 00:09:36,770
[Patrick] Bruce's fixation
on Beth's murder
205
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,070
builds and builds
until one day,
206
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:41,900
when he tries to take Sherry
to the scene of the crime.
207
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:47,130
He asked me
to go into the woods,
208
00:09:47,170 --> 00:09:48,200
and my immediate
reaction was,
209
00:09:50,770 --> 00:09:53,200
And he parked the car
right at the gate
of the woods.
210
00:09:53,230 --> 00:09:55,700
And I'm like,
"No, I'm not going back."
211
00:09:55,730 --> 00:09:57,230
And he's like, "Come on,
get out of the car.
212
00:09:57,270 --> 00:09:59,400
Let's just go in."
And I'm like, "No."
213
00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:01,230
I refused to get out
of the car.
214
00:10:01,270 --> 00:10:03,070
[Samira] Because Sherry
didn't give in.
215
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,830
She may have saved
her own life.
216
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:09,230
I was in real danger
and didn't know it.
217
00:10:17,870 --> 00:10:19,670
[Samira] Sherry doesn't want
to go into the woods
218
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:22,700
because that's where
her best friend's body
was found.
219
00:10:22,730 --> 00:10:24,330
And Bruce is persistent.
220
00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:27,870
[Patrick] He eventually
backs off.
221
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:29,630
But it's just
one of many examples
222
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:31,230
of Bruce flying off
the handle
223
00:10:31,270 --> 00:10:33,400
when he doesn't get his way.
224
00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:36,300
[Sherry] Bruce would get
angry very easily
whenever I said no.
225
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:38,230
He had a temper on him.
226
00:10:38,270 --> 00:10:40,200
A very, very quick temper.
227
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:42,630
There was one time I found
an earring in his car,
228
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:46,330
and I said,
"Whose earring is this?"
229
00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:48,070
He took it out of my hand.
He says,
230
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:49,770
"My sister's earring."
231
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,100
And he rolled down the window
and threw it out.
232
00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:54,530
And I said,
"Why would you throw out
your sister's earring?"
233
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,400
We don't need it.
234
00:10:56,430 --> 00:10:57,630
She doesn't need it.
235
00:10:57,670 --> 00:10:59,330
So there
was just things
236
00:10:59,370 --> 00:11:02,200
that were off
the Richter scale
in his reactions.
237
00:11:05,530 --> 00:11:08,130
For Sherry,
Bruce's anger was one thing.
238
00:11:08,170 --> 00:11:10,900
But his dangerous behaviors
didn't stop there.
239
00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:13,930
[Sherry] Sexually
he got a little rough.
240
00:11:15,970 --> 00:11:18,030
There were times
where I woke up
241
00:11:18,070 --> 00:11:19,900
and never remembered
falling asleep.
242
00:11:20,730 --> 00:11:23,330
And I'd wake up
and I'd be late for work,
243
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:25,530
and a couple of times
I'd be really groggy,
244
00:11:25,570 --> 00:11:27,200
and I was like,
"Oh, my God, I can't wake up."
245
00:11:27,230 --> 00:11:28,170
He goes, "Don't worry,
246
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,530
you'll wake up,
It'll wear off.
247
00:11:29,570 --> 00:11:30,500
It's fine.".
248
00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:32,100
I had no idea the time.
249
00:11:32,130 --> 00:11:33,900
Now I look back
at that and think...
250
00:11:34,770 --> 00:11:36,730
The guy drugged me
and I didn't know.
251
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,530
His apartment
creeped me out.
252
00:11:39,570 --> 00:11:41,500
It was dark.
It was garden level.
253
00:11:41,530 --> 00:11:43,670
I remember
walking in one time
254
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,970
and the smell
of mosquito repellent
255
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,770
was so strong in the apartment
that I couldn't breathe.
256
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,570
I asked him
why he was using so much,
257
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,500
and he said it was to cover up
the smell of things.
258
00:11:54,530 --> 00:11:57,800
And I couldn't--
I'm like, whatever could
smell this bad
259
00:11:57,830 --> 00:11:59,630
that you you can't breathe.
260
00:11:59,670 --> 00:12:02,300
Everything he kept
very hidden.
261
00:12:02,330 --> 00:12:05,370
And always told me
not to open closet doors
262
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,030
or not to look at things.
263
00:12:07,070 --> 00:12:09,730
"Nope. Stay out of there.
That's private.
264
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:12,470
No, stay out of that.
That's private."
265
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,000
It's like, "Why are you
keeping all this stuff
from me?"
266
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:16,970
That creeps me out
today knowing
267
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,870
probably what I was
smelling so bad.
268
00:12:21,870 --> 00:12:24,830
I think the last straw
in the relationship
was, he said,
269
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:26,730
that I wasn't making
enough time for him.
270
00:12:27,270 --> 00:12:29,270
And he wanted more time,
271
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:31,600
and I said no,
and that was it.
272
00:12:31,630 --> 00:12:32,670
That was the end.
273
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,770
[Patrick] That same year
in nearby Aurora,
274
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,170
another woman encounters
Bruce Lindahl,
275
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,700
and she walks right
into the hunter's trap.
276
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:45,830
[Annette] This house was in my
nightmares for years.
277
00:12:46,830 --> 00:12:48,670
It could have changed
a lot of things
278
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,930
had I not walked
into this garage.
279
00:12:54,770 --> 00:12:56,670
I just can't believe
I'm here today.
280
00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:01,770
Forty years ago, thought
I was gonna die here.
281
00:13:04,370 --> 00:13:06,130
When I was 19,
282
00:13:06,170 --> 00:13:09,630
I didn't really know
what I wanted to do
with the rest of my life.
283
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:11,570
I hadn't figured out
who I was.
284
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:14,200
I had a job.
285
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:19,070
I worked as a nurse's aide
and I took my work serious,
286
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:21,230
And I had a steady boyfriend.
287
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:22,670
And we lived together.
288
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,230
March 6th 1979.
289
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:28,800
It was a spring day.
290
00:13:28,830 --> 00:13:31,130
It was kind of sunny.
291
00:13:31,170 --> 00:13:33,530
I decided to walk
to Cindy's house.
292
00:13:33,570 --> 00:13:36,300
We were best friends.
We still are best friends.
293
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,470
I could have taken the bus,
but I decided to walk.
294
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:44,870
You know, save myself
50 cents
295
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:47,670
I was standing
on the corner
at the stop sign
296
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:50,870
of Ohio and Front Street,
297
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:52,430
So going to Cindy's house,
298
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:54,630
which you can see
from this corner,
299
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:57,430
and a car rolls up.
300
00:13:57,470 --> 00:14:00,500
A man. He asked me
if I needed a ride
301
00:14:00,530 --> 00:14:02,900
and I'm like, "No, no,
I don't need a ride.
302
00:14:02,930 --> 00:14:05,030
I'm going right over there
to my friend's house."
303
00:14:05,770 --> 00:14:08,330
And, he says,
"What are you gonna do
304
00:14:08,370 --> 00:14:09,930
when you go to your
friend's house?"
305
00:14:09,970 --> 00:14:11,300
Being kind of naive.
306
00:14:11,330 --> 00:14:14,430
I'm like, "Oh, uh
probably hang out
307
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:16,530
and smoke pot with her."
308
00:14:16,570 --> 00:14:19,870
So the conversation
went towards smoking pot.
309
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:22,870
and how he had some
really good reefer.
310
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:24,830
And did I want to buy some?
311
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:26,530
And I'm like,
"Yeah, sure."
312
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:29,800
He said, he lived
around the corner.
313
00:14:29,830 --> 00:14:31,800
I was like, "Okay,
I'll follow you there."
314
00:14:33,170 --> 00:14:35,570
He had striking blue eyes.
315
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:38,400
He seemed very nice
and easygoing.
316
00:14:38,430 --> 00:14:40,630
I didn't feel
uncomfortable at all.
317
00:14:40,670 --> 00:14:43,700
I thought
he's in this car.
I'm on foot.
318
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,800
It's daylight.
319
00:14:45,830 --> 00:14:47,670
So I'm gonna buy
some pot.
320
00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:49,730
I'm not doing
anything wrong.
321
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,100
We just didn't know that
there was a monster among us.
322
00:14:55,530 --> 00:14:57,830
Just half a block
from where I was.
323
00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:01,470
Just four houses
from my girlfriend's house.
324
00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:05,030
We pulled into this garage
325
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,070
and there's an electric door.
326
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:10,500
And as he was sitting
in his car, in the garage.
327
00:15:10,530 --> 00:15:13,470
I'd be standing out here,
and I'm thinking,
"What is he doing?"
328
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:17,130
So I walk in the garage
and I walk up to the car.
329
00:15:17,170 --> 00:15:19,530
I'm kind of like,
"Hey, what's going on?
330
00:15:19,570 --> 00:15:20,930
What are you doing?"
331
00:15:20,970 --> 00:15:23,270
It was like
the beginning of the end
332
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:25,900
walking into this garage.
333
00:15:25,930 --> 00:15:28,330
As soon as I got
close enough to the car,
334
00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:31,170
I hear the garage door
started coming down.
335
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,470
And for a split socket,
something told me.
336
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:34,930
Leave, run.
337
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,800
But I stood there
and watched
338
00:15:37,830 --> 00:15:38,970
that door come down,
339
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,930
and I'm like, "What did I just
get myself into?"
340
00:15:43,470 --> 00:15:45,830
Why would he shut
the garage door?
341
00:15:46,330 --> 00:15:47,900
Time out. I need a break.
342
00:15:47,930 --> 00:15:49,330
I'm starting to sweat.
343
00:15:49,930 --> 00:15:52,030
This is making me nervous.
344
00:15:52,070 --> 00:15:53,900
[sighing impatiently]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
345
00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:55,970
I just need some air.
346
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,170
-[sighs softly]
-[door creaks open]
347
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,030
I didn't realize how much
something like that
would come back.
348
00:16:01,070 --> 00:16:04,930
It's like in the archives
and your body starts reacting.
349
00:16:04,970 --> 00:16:06,770
Something in your brain
350
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,470
that you haven't thought about
for a long time.
351
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:12,930
A lot of demons here,
a lot of bad energy.
352
00:16:18,770 --> 00:16:19,800
Shake it off.
353
00:16:20,430 --> 00:16:21,470
I got this.
354
00:16:23,470 --> 00:16:25,430
When he got out
of the car
355
00:16:25,470 --> 00:16:28,600
first, he was friendly
and he invited me in.
356
00:16:28,630 --> 00:16:29,600
Offered me a drink.
357
00:16:29,630 --> 00:16:30,830
I said, "No, thanks."
358
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,870
He's like,
"Come on downstairs.
359
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:34,530
I wanna show you
my bird."
360
00:16:34,570 --> 00:16:37,300
I came down the stairway.
361
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,030
In the corner over there,
362
00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:42,300
there was a falcon,
that's a prey bird.
363
00:16:42,330 --> 00:16:44,300
I thought that
was a little strange,
but okay.
364
00:16:44,330 --> 00:16:45,230
Hey, you know.
365
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:49,070
He asked me if I liked
the Moody Blues
366
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:52,330
and he wanted
to put this song on,
367
00:16:52,370 --> 00:16:55,400
and I guess, sure,
why not put on.
368
00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:58,470
The Moody Blues
"Nights In White Satin".
369
00:16:58,500 --> 00:16:59,730
That was the name
of the song.
370
00:16:59,770 --> 00:17:02,500
Every time I hear
that song on the radio,
371
00:17:02,530 --> 00:17:05,300
that song takes me
right back there.
372
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,130
I just wanted to get the pot,
and I'm like,
373
00:17:07,170 --> 00:17:09,170
well, You know,
I really got to get going.
374
00:17:09,970 --> 00:17:11,400
We came up
from the basement
375
00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:13,000
and I'm in this
little landing
376
00:17:13,030 --> 00:17:14,560
and he said,
"Just wait here.
377
00:17:14,590 --> 00:17:15,930
I'll be right back."
378
00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:17,320
And when he came back,
379
00:17:17,970 --> 00:17:19,700
it was not
the person that left
380
00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:21,360
because this man
that came back
381
00:17:22,430 --> 00:17:25,270
put a gun
to my head a 9 mm.
382
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,730
Put it to my temple.
383
00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:29,770
I think he said something
to the effect of
384
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,230
You know what's happening?
385
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:33,230
And I said,
"No, I'm leaving."
386
00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:35,070
And he grabbed me
by my neck
387
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:39,330
and he pushed me up
like, against the wall.
388
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,000
It scared me
so bad that it--
389
00:17:43,030 --> 00:17:45,800
I call it an
out of body experience.
390
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:49,970
It was like, I'm watching
what's happening to me.
391
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,230
It's not happening to me.
392
00:17:51,730 --> 00:17:54,070
But at the same time,
393
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:57,400
something was telling me,
I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die.
394
00:17:57,430 --> 00:17:59,070
I kept hearing
I'm gonna die.
395
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,370
[Annette] He had a hold of me
396
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,430
and he dragged me
to this part of the house.
397
00:18:11,530 --> 00:18:12,970
And I'm thinking,
398
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,900
how am I gonna get away
from this person?
399
00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:17,330
What's gonna happen to me?
I'm scared to death.
400
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:20,040
I'm trying
to remain calm,
401
00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:21,600
but the whole time
in my mind,
402
00:18:21,630 --> 00:18:22,800
my body, I'm just...
403
00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:25,200
freaking out,
and I'm scared.
404
00:18:25,230 --> 00:18:27,470
So I said, "Okay, okay.
405
00:18:27,500 --> 00:18:29,170
But I have to go
to the bathroom."
406
00:18:30,770 --> 00:18:33,970
In my mind, I was thinking,
I'll lock myself in
407
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,300
and I'll get out
the window.
408
00:18:35,330 --> 00:18:36,740
If I have to kick
the window out,
409
00:18:36,770 --> 00:18:38,100
I'm going out the window.
410
00:18:38,140 --> 00:18:40,200
That's it,
It's how I'm gonna do it.
411
00:18:40,230 --> 00:18:43,140
And he's like,
"Yeah, that's fine.
Go to the bathroom."
412
00:18:43,170 --> 00:18:46,140
-[door lock clicks]
-Got in that bathroom,
I locked that door
413
00:18:46,170 --> 00:18:48,970
and there's
clear glass bricks.
414
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,200
They don't open.
They're placed in there.
415
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:52,670
There's no way
I could get out.
416
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:55,500
I didn't want to come
out of that bathroom.
417
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,600
And my plan
wasn't gonna work.
418
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:00,630
Oh, my God.
419
00:19:00,670 --> 00:19:02,700
It was a horrible feeling.
420
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,400
[banging door]
421
00:19:06,430 --> 00:19:07,470
[door lock clicks]
422
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:09,500
I just opened the door
and came out.
423
00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:12,800
He took me in the bedroom.
424
00:19:15,500 --> 00:19:18,600
He takes me in here
into this bedroom.
425
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:20,900
-[gun cocking]-And he has the gun still.
426
00:19:20,940 --> 00:19:23,200
And I'm begging him.
427
00:19:23,230 --> 00:19:25,270
Please take the clip
out of the gun
428
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:28,040
because I'm scared.
I'm scared of that gun.
429
00:19:31,970 --> 00:19:34,630
And he actually took
the clip out of the gun.
430
00:19:35,370 --> 00:19:37,570
I just wanted it out of there,
431
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,800
so it would take him a while
if he was gonna shoot me,
432
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,600
he'd have to at least
put the clip back in.
433
00:19:42,170 --> 00:19:43,700
That Give me a few seconds.
434
00:19:44,530 --> 00:19:46,970
He hesitated,
but he took it out.
435
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:48,800
[producer speaking]
436
00:19:50,970 --> 00:19:53,400
Because my angels
were protecting me.
437
00:19:54,140 --> 00:19:55,800
That's the only thing
I can say.
438
00:19:57,370 --> 00:20:01,000
And then he told me
to take my pants off.
439
00:20:03,370 --> 00:20:04,770
He gets on top of me.
440
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,300
He proceeds to rape me.
441
00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:09,230
All I could think was
442
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:10,470
"How am I gonna
get out of here?
I gotta get out of here."
443
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:13,570
And it's not working.
444
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,330
He's not being
able to perform.
445
00:20:15,370 --> 00:20:17,630
He's trying over
and over again.
446
00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:19,100
It's not working.
447
00:20:19,140 --> 00:20:21,170
I'm like,
"What am I gonna do now?"
448
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,370
Now he's gonna beat me up
because he can't perform.
449
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,040
Just came to mind
that I should talk
to this man.
450
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:29,670
So I started
talking to him.
451
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,740
"I really like you.
452
00:20:32,770 --> 00:20:35,600
You're my type.
Look, you're so handsome."
453
00:20:35,630 --> 00:20:38,000
And I'm like,
"Don't worry about this.
454
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,940
You know, this is no thing
we can try again later."
455
00:20:40,970 --> 00:20:44,040
You know, "Let's go on
a date this weekend."
456
00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:46,370
He-- He bought it.
The glance he gave.
457
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,630
I'm like, "Give me
a piece of paper.
458
00:20:47,670 --> 00:20:49,600
I'll write
my phone number."
459
00:20:49,630 --> 00:20:52,370
Well, the whole
atmosphere changed.
460
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,330
He seemed to just--
Have a split personality,
461
00:20:55,370 --> 00:20:58,070
like the monster
was going away
462
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:00,970
and the human being
was coming back.
463
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,230
I gave him my
actual phone number
464
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:06,500
and he let me get up
and get dressed.
465
00:21:06,530 --> 00:21:08,870
I followed him out of the room
into the garage.
466
00:21:09,940 --> 00:21:11,530
I was holding my breath.
467
00:21:11,570 --> 00:21:12,670
Please, just let me out.
468
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:14,840
Please, just let me out.
I'm thinking the whole time.
469
00:21:14,870 --> 00:21:17,100
Just another foot.
Just another foot.
470
00:21:21,270 --> 00:21:23,600
And I walked out.
Just give me a call.
471
00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:24,570
Okay? Bye.
472
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,430
Just like that.
473
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:28,570
As soon as
I got out of sight,
474
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,330
I did a beeline
right to Cindy's.
475
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:32,230
And I was gone.
476
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:35,940
I don't believe in luck.
477
00:21:35,970 --> 00:21:38,400
You know, I believe
my guardian Angels
are with me.
478
00:21:40,740 --> 00:21:41,800
What can I say?
479
00:21:44,330 --> 00:21:46,940
But I got pretty
close that day.
480
00:21:48,530 --> 00:21:49,500
I called the police.
481
00:21:49,530 --> 00:21:51,140
They said to go
to the hospital
482
00:21:51,170 --> 00:21:53,870
and they'd meet me there,
and that's what I did.
483
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:57,700
I told him that he was
about 5'5" dark hair,
484
00:21:57,740 --> 00:22:00,900
piercing blue eyes,
the them where he lived.
485
00:22:00,940 --> 00:22:02,800
I described the house.
486
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,200
I didn't know his name,
but they knew who he was.
487
00:22:05,230 --> 00:22:06,330
They found him.
488
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:09,870
After the police
interview the man
489
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:13,040
they call Annette in
for a follow up interview?
490
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:16,230
[Annette] Well, interview,
I'd say it was more
491
00:22:16,270 --> 00:22:19,870
like an interrogation,
not an investigation.
492
00:22:19,900 --> 00:22:22,840
The investigator he just took
that piece of paper, said,
493
00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:24,270
"What's this?"
494
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:26,570
And I'm like,
"That's what saved my life.
495
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,900
What do you mean,
what's that?"
496
00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:29,300
I told them
I gave it to him.
497
00:22:29,330 --> 00:22:32,070
I told him why I did it,
but they didn't like my story.
498
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:35,230
They-- They made me feel
like I did something wrong.
499
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:36,600
I don't know
if they thought
500
00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:38,870
that we were having
a lover's quarrel
501
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:40,700
or if he was dating me,
502
00:22:40,740 --> 00:22:41,800
or I don't know why.
503
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,940
But when they
interviewed him,
504
00:22:42,970 --> 00:22:45,170
he had pages
of what he said happened.
505
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,940
Mine was one paragraph.
506
00:22:49,230 --> 00:22:51,800
They didn't believe me.
They dropped the case.
507
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,600
End of story.
That's all I ever heard.
508
00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:58,100
But the police told me
his name was Bruce Lindahl.
509
00:23:00,330 --> 00:23:02,100
And I never
forgot that name.
510
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:05,870
And I'm not very good
at remembering names,
511
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:07,840
but I never forgot
that name.
512
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,670
We went to California.
513
00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:15,170
It was nice to get away
from Aurora.
514
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,530
It just-- That was
a bad thing. I just--
515
00:23:18,430 --> 00:23:21,040
I didn't really
want to be here.
516
00:23:21,070 --> 00:23:22,870
So we went to California.
517
00:23:25,530 --> 00:23:28,800
Just a few months
after Annette's rape,
518
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,770
another young woman
in the area goes missing.
519
00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:36,000
Debbie McCall
went to Downers Grove North
520
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,040
when she disappeared.
521
00:23:38,070 --> 00:23:41,530
Downers Grove North
is the sister school
522
00:23:41,570 --> 00:23:43,200
of Downers Grove South.
523
00:23:43,230 --> 00:23:45,630
[Patrick] Both Pam Maurer
and Beth Drews
524
00:23:45,670 --> 00:23:48,740
were found dead in the woods
by a nearby university.
525
00:23:48,770 --> 00:23:51,630
But Deb McCall's
body is never found.
526
00:23:51,670 --> 00:23:53,470
She had gone to school
and asked a friend
527
00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:55,840
if they wanted
to cut class with her,
and they said no.
528
00:23:55,870 --> 00:23:57,300
So the last person
that saw her
529
00:23:57,330 --> 00:24:00,300
was this friend who
she has to cut class with.
530
00:24:01,530 --> 00:24:04,600
Not only does she match
the type of victims
531
00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:06,470
that Bruce
has had in the past,
532
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:08,370
she also goes missing
from the same
533
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,370
hunting grounds
where Bruce operated.
534
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,870
[producer speaking]
535
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:15,970
Yeah, uh-- Yes.
536
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,840
I learned about
another woman
537
00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:19,800
who was here
that was abducted.
538
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,070
From a shopping center
in North Gate
539
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,040
I'm talking about
Debra Colliander.
540
00:24:25,270 --> 00:24:28,070
[Karen] I still feel like,
I can see her.
541
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:30,500
I can still see
the whole thing.
542
00:24:30,530 --> 00:24:33,000
It's been with me forever.
543
00:24:33,870 --> 00:24:36,370
I was getting my girls
in the van
544
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,070
and I was standing
on the porch
545
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:39,940
locking the door,
546
00:24:39,970 --> 00:24:42,800
and there were bushes
in front of the house.
547
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,770
And she came between
the house and the bushes.
548
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,900
And then I saw
this naked girl.
549
00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:51,230
She just walked
straight up to me
550
00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:54,140
and asked me
if I could help her.
551
00:24:54,170 --> 00:24:55,970
And I quickly
unlocked the door
552
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,170
and let her in real quick
before anybody saw her.
553
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,100
I gave her
some clothes to wear.
554
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:05,300
And we stood there
and she told me
the whole story.
555
00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:10,430
She said, she was
kidnapped and raped.
556
00:25:10,470 --> 00:25:14,570
Then he took pictures of her,
and when she described him,
557
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,600
she said he had the
God damnedest blue eyes
you've ever seen.
558
00:25:18,630 --> 00:25:20,300
And my daughters
looked at each other.
559
00:25:20,330 --> 00:25:22,940
And they said,
"Mom, that's Bruce."
560
00:25:31,070 --> 00:25:32,800
[Karen] I called the police
and told them
561
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,370
that I had a woman here
at my house
562
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,570
that had been
kidnapped and raped.
563
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,470
She told me her name
was Debbie Colliander.
564
00:25:41,270 --> 00:25:43,070
Deb lived in Aurora
565
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:46,900
and had gone to a exercise
class at the North Gate Mall.
566
00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:49,700
She rode her bike
and she was approached
567
00:25:49,740 --> 00:25:52,400
by a subject later
identified as Bruce Lindahl.
568
00:25:52,430 --> 00:25:56,870
And he asks for her help
to help him start his car.
569
00:25:56,900 --> 00:26:00,300
[Det. Loudon] He charmed her
into getting behind
the wheel of the car,
570
00:26:00,330 --> 00:26:01,970
and in the minute she did,
571
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,740
he took a sharp object
and put it against her neck.
572
00:26:04,770 --> 00:26:07,270
And told her to slide over
to the passenger side.
573
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,840
He then took her
to his house.
574
00:26:14,870 --> 00:26:16,400
He raped her at gunpoint.
575
00:26:16,430 --> 00:26:18,740
He forced her
to take lewd photographs,
576
00:26:18,770 --> 00:26:20,840
and then,
when he fell asleep,
577
00:26:20,870 --> 00:26:23,570
she escaped
to a neighbor's house.
578
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,040
[Karen] When the detectives
came to my house
later that afternoon.
579
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,470
My girls had known
who he was from selling
580
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:32,200
Girl Scout cookies.
581
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,040
And the detective told me
that my girls were very lucky.
582
00:26:37,070 --> 00:26:38,370
[producer speaking]
583
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,270
Because they could
have been one of his victims.
584
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,970
When police arrived,
the evidence was all there.
585
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,870
The gun was there.
The Polaroid pictures
of Debra were there.
586
00:26:47,900 --> 00:26:50,670
There was no question
it was Bruce who did it.
587
00:26:51,670 --> 00:26:52,630
He was arrested.
588
00:26:52,670 --> 00:26:54,740
Debra was interviewed.
589
00:26:54,770 --> 00:26:56,700
And then
it proceeded toward trial.
590
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:59,400
[Patrick] After years
of flying under the radar
591
00:26:59,430 --> 00:27:01,500
of law enforcement,
Bruce Lindahl
592
00:27:01,530 --> 00:27:03,870
is finally charged
with the kidnapping
593
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:05,970
and rape of Debra Colliander.
594
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,200
And prosecutors are building
a strong case against him.
595
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,170
-[phone ringing]
-[Sherry] When I was
20-years-old,
596
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,040
I got a call
from an attorney
597
00:27:13,070 --> 00:27:15,800
that said he was representing
a girl who had been raped
598
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,630
and that Bruce Lindahl
l had raped her.
599
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:20,470
And that they needed
a character witness
600
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:22,700
against Bruce on his demeanor.
601
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:25,170
And it shocked me.
602
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:28,940
I thought,
What a [bleep]
What a jerk!
603
00:27:28,970 --> 00:27:30,940
Not being able
to hear the word, "No".
604
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,940
So to stand up for the girl,
I decided to testify.
605
00:27:34,970 --> 00:27:36,740
And when
the trial date came up,
606
00:27:36,770 --> 00:27:38,240
I never heard
from the attorney.
607
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,840
[Annette] I read
about her case.
608
00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:44,040
Two weeks before
Debra's case
came up for court.
609
00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:46,530
She went missing from work.
610
00:27:46,570 --> 00:27:49,270
[Det. Loudon] Colliander
didn't show up for the trial,
611
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:51,630
and eventually the judge
had to determine
612
00:27:51,670 --> 00:27:54,630
that they didn't have
a victim or a witness.
613
00:27:54,670 --> 00:27:56,200
And they dismissed the case.
614
00:27:57,270 --> 00:27:59,270
She was gone,
dropped the case.
615
00:28:00,370 --> 00:28:01,970
[Sherry] I called the attorney
and he just told me that
616
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,200
the charges had been dropped
617
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,900
and my services were
no longer gonna be needed.
618
00:28:05,940 --> 00:28:07,940
Never told me that
she was missing.
619
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:10,330
And then months later,
620
00:28:10,370 --> 00:28:12,500
I pick up the paper
and there's an article
621
00:28:12,530 --> 00:28:15,200
that a boy
had been stabbed,
622
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,900
and it was Bruce
that did it.
623
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,400
[Crd. Guerrieri]April 4th, 1981
624
00:28:20,430 --> 00:28:24,000
the Gala Lanes
Bowling Alley in Naperville.
625
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,670
At some point, Bruce
convinced Charles Huber,
626
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:30,900
who was 18 at the time,
to come back with him.
627
00:28:30,940 --> 00:28:35,100
Bruce attacked Charles
and stabbed him 29 times.
628
00:28:35,140 --> 00:28:37,370
And so,
as the fights occurring,
629
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,570
Bruce, in his rage,
630
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,800
stabbed himself
in the right thigh
631
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,630
and slowly bled out
632
00:28:43,670 --> 00:28:45,870
and just collapsed
on top of Charles Huber.
633
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:48,740
The both of them
lay dead on the floor,
covered in blood.
634
00:28:50,570 --> 00:28:53,670
It shocked me
that he attacked
somebody with a knife
635
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:56,400
and before that raped
Debra Colliander.
636
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,870
I couldn't believe that
637
00:28:58,900 --> 00:29:02,800
I knew someone
who stabbed another person.
638
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,270
[Patrick]Bruce Lindahl's history,
639
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:07,040
as well as the murder
of Charles Huber,
640
00:29:07,070 --> 00:29:09,600
has local law enforcement
making inquiries
641
00:29:09,630 --> 00:29:11,430
both near and far.
642
00:29:11,470 --> 00:29:13,900
[Annette] The police
called me in California
643
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:15,900
and told me that he was
644
00:29:15,940 --> 00:29:18,300
passed away that he had died.
645
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,700
And I remember
saying, "Good.
646
00:29:21,740 --> 00:29:22,970
I'm glad he's dead."
647
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,900
And they wanted to ask me
questions about my encounter.
648
00:29:26,940 --> 00:29:29,700
And I didn't want
to talk to them.
649
00:29:29,740 --> 00:29:32,370
I said no, "I'm not
answering questions.
650
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,100
You didn't care about me
when I came to you.
651
00:29:35,140 --> 00:29:37,330
Now you want to ask
me questions?"
652
00:29:37,370 --> 00:29:39,700
[chuckles softly]
Not happening.
653
00:29:39,740 --> 00:29:43,040
And I basically told them
to go eff themselves
and hung up.
654
00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:45,970
I wasn't interested
in helping the police.
655
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:48,770
About a year
after Lindahl's death,
656
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,270
police discover
why Debra Colliander
657
00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:52,900
never showed up
for court.
658
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,800
A farmer checking his field
saw an indentation,
659
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,870
he pulled out a spade,
started digging
660
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:01,670
and found the remains
of Debra Colliander.
661
00:30:04,770 --> 00:30:06,940
[Annette]It pisses me off.
662
00:30:06,970 --> 00:30:09,240
because it could
have been prevented.
663
00:30:09,970 --> 00:30:11,900
That poor girl...
664
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:15,400
imagine if it would
have been me
and they prosecuted him.
665
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,270
Maybe that would
have happened to me.
666
00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:22,600
Oh, my gosh, I just--
I can't think about it.
667
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,170
[Samira] At the time
of his death,
668
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,900
police were aware of at least
a few of the violent crimes
669
00:30:28,940 --> 00:30:30,900
that Bruce Lindahl
committed.
670
00:30:30,940 --> 00:30:34,170
This included the rape
of Annette Lazar,
671
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,170
the kidnapping and rape
of Deb Colliander
672
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,800
as well as the death
of Charles Huber.
673
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,570
But many more of his crimes
remained uninvestigated.
674
00:30:44,530 --> 00:30:45,900
[Det. Loudon] In the 1970s,
675
00:30:45,940 --> 00:30:49,400
there was a lot
of misogynistic attitudes.
676
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:52,240
It seemed like
there just wasn't enough
677
00:30:52,270 --> 00:30:54,170
focus on crimes
against women.
678
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,530
[Samira] Eventually,
Pam Maurer's case from 1976,
679
00:30:58,570 --> 00:31:02,470
turns out to be the key that
connects him to the series
680
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:05,600
of unsolved murders
in the area.
681
00:31:05,630 --> 00:31:08,040
[Patrick] After Maurer's
raped and strangled body
682
00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:09,670
was discovered in the woods.
683
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:11,970
The case is cold
for decades
684
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,770
until Lisle Police Department
685
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,400
Cold Case detective
Chris Loudon,
686
00:31:16,430 --> 00:31:18,670
decides to take
a fresh look at it.
687
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,140
It was considered unsolvable
688
00:31:21,170 --> 00:31:23,740
because there just never
was any suspects
689
00:31:23,770 --> 00:31:25,840
developed from the beginning.
690
00:31:25,870 --> 00:31:29,670
The case grew colder,
and the the list of suspects
691
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:30,940
didn't get any bigger
692
00:31:30,970 --> 00:31:33,530
and people started
dying and forgetting,
693
00:31:33,570 --> 00:31:38,200
and it became a point
where if we didn't try,
solving it now
694
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,400
we were never
going to solve it.
695
00:31:41,070 --> 00:31:42,570
And we had
one ace in the hole
696
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,170
that the other
investigations didn't have.
697
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,400
And that was DNA.
698
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,100
We had semen that was left
699
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:51,100
on Pam's underwear.
700
00:31:51,140 --> 00:31:52,740
There wasn't a lot of it.
701
00:31:52,770 --> 00:31:54,330
Some of it had degraded,
702
00:31:54,370 --> 00:31:59,840
and we sent that
evidence to the lab
and the lab extracted
703
00:31:59,870 --> 00:32:01,630
a profile from that DNA.
704
00:32:01,670 --> 00:32:04,200
And they compared it to
705
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,500
DNA on file
on public databases
706
00:32:06,530 --> 00:32:10,570
like 23andMe
and ancestry.com.
707
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,970
And they found
a familial hit.
708
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,330
When they called me
from the lab, they said,
709
00:32:16,370 --> 00:32:18,600
Does the name Lindahl
mean anything to you?
710
00:32:18,630 --> 00:32:21,500
[Patrick] Detective Loudon
researches the family tree
711
00:32:21,530 --> 00:32:24,200
and finds that there were
two brothers named Lindahl,
712
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,270
living in the area
at the time of the murders.
713
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:29,670
One of whom
was named Bruce.
714
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:34,870
[Det. Loudon]And the first thing I learned
about Bruce Lindahl
715
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:38,000
was that back in 1980
716
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,700
he was accused
of kidnapping and raping
717
00:32:41,740 --> 00:32:45,500
a young woman in Aurora
named Debra Colliander.
718
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:48,000
So we went to Aurora
and found out Bruce
719
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,900
had been accused
of another rape in Aurora,
720
00:32:50,940 --> 00:32:54,330
that involved a woman
named Annette Lazar.
721
00:32:54,370 --> 00:32:57,170
[Patrick] Loudon also comes
across a box recovered
722
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,300
from Lindahl's house
during the Colliander case.
723
00:33:00,330 --> 00:33:02,400
And it contains
hundreds of photos.
724
00:33:02,430 --> 00:33:05,140
[Det. Loudon] Among them
were young women,
725
00:33:05,630 --> 00:33:07,870
some clearly under age.
726
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:10,270
[Crd. Guerrieri]Various poses,
some head shots,
727
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:12,370
some full body shots,
728
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,140
some laying on a bed,
some clothes,
729
00:33:14,170 --> 00:33:17,700
some partially clothed,
some fully nude,
730
00:33:17,740 --> 00:33:19,700
[Patrick] Fearing that these
pictures might be images
731
00:33:19,740 --> 00:33:22,400
of unidentified
Lindahl victims.
732
00:33:22,430 --> 00:33:24,570
Detective Loudon
expands his search
733
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,100
to other unsolved cases
in the area from that time.
734
00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:29,870
[Det. Loudon] We found out
about a young woman
735
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:31,840
named Debra McCall
who had disappeared
736
00:33:31,870 --> 00:33:33,840
and they never
recovered her body.
737
00:33:33,870 --> 00:33:36,530
We also found out about a girl
named Beth Drews,
738
00:33:36,570 --> 00:33:39,040
who was found dead
in 1977.
739
00:33:40,100 --> 00:33:43,040
Once we made our list
of potential
740
00:33:43,070 --> 00:33:44,970
Lindahl victims,
741
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,870
we had the dry erase board
and we had about 12 names
on the board.
742
00:33:49,970 --> 00:33:52,200
And then we started just
comparing each picture.
743
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,270
One by one.
744
00:33:53,300 --> 00:33:56,570
We ended up getting
at least three girls
745
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,240
that we are
reasonably confident.
746
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,070
Our girls
that were found dead.
747
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:04,900
There were pictures
that Bruce Lindahl
had in his possession.
748
00:34:06,370 --> 00:34:09,100
And my partner and I
looked at each other
749
00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:13,330
and said, "We think we have
a serial killer on our hands."
750
00:34:15,460 --> 00:34:16,900
The problem we encountered
751
00:34:16,940 --> 00:34:19,840
was Bruce Lindahl
died in 1981.
752
00:34:19,870 --> 00:34:22,230
We weren't going to be able
to interview him.
753
00:34:22,270 --> 00:34:26,690
And unless you have
an actual match
from your suspect,
754
00:34:26,730 --> 00:34:27,960
it really doesn't
mean anything,
755
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,400
so we had to get
his DNA.
756
00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:33,330
[Patrick] At this point,
the police will have to do
something so rare
757
00:34:33,370 --> 00:34:36,070
that no one in the county
has ever done it before.
758
00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:38,330
They will need
to exhume his body.
759
00:34:38,370 --> 00:34:41,690
[Det. Loudon]We needed to dig up
Bruce Lindahl's body.
760
00:34:42,530 --> 00:34:44,570
And then remove
fingernails, hair,
761
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,300
the femurs and his molars.
762
00:34:46,330 --> 00:34:48,330
To send to a lab
763
00:34:48,370 --> 00:34:51,960
to have it developed
into a profile.
764
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,190
To compare
against the DNA
765
00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:56,960
we collected from
Pam's underclothing.
766
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,200
The lab told us that
767
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:02,770
the chances of Pam's killer,
768
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,400
being anybody
but Bruce Lindahl
769
00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:09,040
was one in eight
quadrillion people.
770
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,140
We held a press conference
771
00:35:11,170 --> 00:35:14,140
and we had decided
that we were going
to offer a tip line.
772
00:35:14,170 --> 00:35:16,770
If anyone has any information
regarding Bruce Lindahl,
773
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,940
please call us.
774
00:35:17,970 --> 00:35:20,840
We finally put a name
and a face to this monster,
775
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:22,770
and that's pretty much
what he was.
776
00:35:23,330 --> 00:35:26,140
Within maybe
a week or two.
777
00:35:26,170 --> 00:35:27,700
I had 75 phone calls.
778
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:29,840
[Sherry] In 2020,
779
00:35:29,870 --> 00:35:31,370
my mother noticed
an article
780
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,300
and she said,
look at this guy had
781
00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:37,740
was around at the same time,
that Beth disappeared.
782
00:35:37,770 --> 00:35:40,630
Do you think that he had
anything to do with it?
783
00:35:40,670 --> 00:35:42,800
And I looked
at the article and I said,
784
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,530
"Oh, my God, Mom,
I dated him.
785
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:57,770
When I looked at the article,
my whole world stopped.
786
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,800
Everything started
rolling in.
787
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,370
And flooding my mind
and wouldn't stop.
788
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,340
And I thought,
"Oh, my God."
789
00:36:05,170 --> 00:36:07,340
And all the pieces
came together.
790
00:36:08,570 --> 00:36:10,370
I called the detective
791
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,240
and said, "I think you need
to put Beth Drews on your list
792
00:36:13,270 --> 00:36:15,840
as potential victims."
793
00:36:15,870 --> 00:36:18,900
And he said,
"She's already on the list."
794
00:36:18,940 --> 00:36:20,570
[Det. Loudon] Sherry gave me
some extra information
795
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,800
we didn't know about Beth.
796
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,570
And then she told me that
she dated Bruce Lindahl.
797
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,400
Not that long after Beth's
body was recovered,
798
00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:33,630
which was just
an amazing coincidence.
799
00:36:33,670 --> 00:36:37,670
What she told me about Bruce
and what Bruce said to her.
800
00:36:37,700 --> 00:36:41,940
It cemented in my mind
what I already suspected.
801
00:36:41,970 --> 00:36:45,470
That Bruce was responsible
for Beth Drew's death.
802
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:47,800
I had an intimate
relationship
803
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,630
with a man who killed
my best friend.
804
00:36:50,770 --> 00:36:51,770
And I live with that.
805
00:36:53,140 --> 00:36:54,500
I still haven't overcome it.
806
00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:57,840
It's something I deal with
on a daily basis.
807
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:02,800
That's hard.
808
00:37:03,530 --> 00:37:04,630
That's the hard part.
809
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,400
[Samira] Over the years,
810
00:37:07,430 --> 00:37:10,900
the families of his victims
and his survivors
811
00:37:10,940 --> 00:37:13,430
were left with grief, trauma
812
00:37:13,470 --> 00:37:16,140
and whatever pieces
they had to pick up
813
00:37:16,170 --> 00:37:18,530
and move on
with their lives.
814
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:21,170
[Annette] I didn't trust
nobody after that,
especially men.
815
00:37:21,970 --> 00:37:24,470
I didn't let nobody
close to me.
816
00:37:24,500 --> 00:37:26,900
I didn't go places
where I could be trapped.
817
00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:29,270
Claustrophobic,
quit smoking pot
818
00:37:29,300 --> 00:37:30,870
changed me
in a lot of ways.
819
00:37:31,900 --> 00:37:33,400
[Sherry] When I had
my daughter,
820
00:37:33,430 --> 00:37:36,670
I had major major
concerns for her safety.
821
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:38,700
When she would
go off to events
822
00:37:38,740 --> 00:37:41,400
or she would go
even on dates.
823
00:37:41,430 --> 00:37:44,240
I had to really, really
manage my emotions
824
00:37:44,270 --> 00:37:45,970
because of all
the memories of Beth.
825
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,940
Flashbacks
of Beth missing
826
00:37:48,970 --> 00:37:52,430
were extremely hard
for me to deal with
on a constant basis.
827
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:54,740
It really made
a difference
828
00:37:54,770 --> 00:37:56,900
in the way that
I parented my daughter.
829
00:37:58,530 --> 00:38:00,070
[Annette] I just
had to move on,
830
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:01,870
and that's exactly
what I did.
831
00:38:02,740 --> 00:38:04,840
I never talked
about it to anybody.
832
00:38:04,870 --> 00:38:08,100
Not my family,
not my son or his father.
833
00:38:08,140 --> 00:38:11,840
I just put it in the back
of my mind for 40 years.
834
00:38:11,870 --> 00:38:13,240
Come on, boy.
835
00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:14,840
I never told them
until 2020,
836
00:38:14,870 --> 00:38:17,600
when the police called me.
837
00:38:17,630 --> 00:38:20,100
[Det. Loudon] When I talked
to somebody like Annette,
838
00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:22,240
who I know still had...
839
00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:26,600
[sighing grimly] so much pain
840
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:28,430
to deal with.
841
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:31,740
I felt that she deserved
842
00:38:31,770 --> 00:38:34,970
an apology from
the police community.
843
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,500
[Annette] Oh, yes,
I was mad.
844
00:38:36,530 --> 00:38:38,870
I survived a serial killer
845
00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:42,100
where a lot of other women
didn't survive.
846
00:38:42,770 --> 00:38:44,940
And it could
have been prevented.
847
00:38:44,970 --> 00:38:46,900
Can you imagine
if they prosecuted?
848
00:38:47,430 --> 00:38:48,970
But they dropped the case.
849
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,140
I'm just sorry for the other
families and lives lost.
850
00:38:56,140 --> 00:38:57,430
[Det. Loudon]It breaks my heart
that somebody
851
00:38:57,470 --> 00:38:59,170
who went through
such a horrible thing
852
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,170
can feel that
we failed them so badly.
853
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,300
It's infuriating as a cop.
854
00:39:04,340 --> 00:39:06,100
It's infuriating
as a detective,
855
00:39:06,140 --> 00:39:08,340
and it's infuriating
as a dad,
856
00:39:08,370 --> 00:39:11,070
because none of these
other girls
this had to happen.
857
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:12,600
How do you do that?
858
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,630
I'm pissed off again.
859
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,500
[Sherry] I don't think
they're going to truly know
860
00:39:20,530 --> 00:39:22,630
how many victims
he actually did have.
861
00:39:24,070 --> 00:39:27,400
I don't think they're ever
going to truly get down
to the bottom of it.
862
00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:29,570
[Crd. Guerrieri]I'm still haunted
by Deb McCall
863
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,140
and the girls who disappeared,
and we've never found.
864
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:34,200
Until you find a body
or other evidence.
865
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:37,170
Otherwise, it's going
to be tough.
866
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,100
To get some closure
for their families.
867
00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:45,700
[Det. Loudon] Bruce Lindahl
was a small statured person
868
00:39:45,740 --> 00:39:50,200
with evil running
from the top of his
head to the pinkie toe.
869
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:53,700
I did cases
with child pornography
870
00:39:53,740 --> 00:39:55,040
and human trafficking.
871
00:39:55,070 --> 00:39:58,240
And Bruce Lindahl
is still my standard
872
00:39:58,270 --> 00:40:01,630
for as low as a human
being can be.
873
00:40:03,470 --> 00:40:06,400
[Annette] If-- if you were
a victim of this person,
874
00:40:06,430 --> 00:40:08,770
don't be afraid,
you did nothing wrong.
875
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,700
Your story connects
to somebody's
loved one being found.
876
00:40:13,740 --> 00:40:15,200
You know, they could
all tie together
877
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:16,770
because the stories connect.
878
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:19,900
Tell your story.
Be strong.
879
00:40:19,940 --> 00:40:22,370
It's exposing somebody
880
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,840
that did terrible things
to people, young people.
881
00:40:25,870 --> 00:40:28,170
There's no shame in that,
if you were a victim.
882
00:40:28,670 --> 00:40:30,270
I'm not ashamed of it.
883
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:35,670
My story's been told
and I'm at peace.
884
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:38,040
It's really great
when you get closure.
885
00:40:38,530 --> 00:40:39,530
It's a good feeling.
886
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:41,170
-So...
-[man] Yeah, glad.
887
00:40:42,430 --> 00:40:43,400
Come on, let's go.
888
00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:44,770
Get your cookie.
Let's go Now.
889
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,140
I'm a survivor.
890
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,970
I'm a survivor.
891
00:41:11,670 --> 00:41:13,570
I can still see him
standing there.
892
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,140
There really are monsters,
and in this case, brothers.
893
00:41:17,170 --> 00:41:19,770
They stalked young couples
to bloody ends.
894
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,530
[Reporter] Police are
intensifying their search.
895
00:41:22,570 --> 00:41:24,200
I heard the gun go off.
896
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:26,240
I don't know how she survived
but she did.
897
00:41:26,270 --> 00:41:28,370
A lot of people say
I'm a victim,
898
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,970
but I think I'm a survivor.
