Happy Face Killer Page #3

Things got rough,

and he raped her.

He killed her,

and we dumped her body

off the highway

near the Columbia gorge.

What's really

going on here, Delores?

Are you just

saying this

because

Bud treats you bad,

he beats you,

you want to pin this on him

as payback?

He'll get what he deserves

for what he's done.

To you or to Sissy?

How did he kill her?

Rope.

What else?

Gloves.

Duct tape.

Like the ones I found

in your apartment?

It was almost like you wanted me

to find that stuff.

Bud must've hid it.

Ask him.

Delores,

if you're trying to set up

an innocent man...

He's not innocent.

Of anything.

Tell me about the signature left

on Sissy's body.

What does it mean,

whose idea was it?

Delores...

I know what you're doing.

I understand

why you're doing it.

But Bud didn't

kill this girl.

The real killer

is still out there

and he is going to

kill again.

Please help me.

I've told you

everything I know.

So, get this.

Some whack-job

named Delores Parnicke

told the cops

that her and her boyfriend

killed Sissy Peyton,

which is a miracle,

since they didn't!

I did!

I killed her!

They're trying to take

the damn credit?

It was me.

Yeah?

Someone found this

on the bathroom wall

at a truck stop in Burlington.

Cops there took these.

Felicia...

See if any of the papers

ever mentioned

the missing zipper

from Sissy's pants?

Hey.

Can you...

Can you sit

for a minute?

Please?

Sure.

Good.

I thought maybe

you forgot about me.

What have you been up to?

Not much.

Just driving around,

thinking.

Oh, yeah?

About what?

Well, I've been mostly

thinking about me...

and you.

Wow.

I really want you

to spend more time

at my place.

I just feel so much better

when you're there.

Everything is better.

Okay.

You lost me,

agent Gand.

Someone writes a confession

on a bathroom wall,

and you consider that

evidence left by the killer?

It had details

only the killer would know.

Delores couldn't even describe

the happy face signature.

It's circumstantial.

Call me old-fashioned,

but I like my evidence

in the real and hard variety.

Listen, agent Gand,

as district attorney,

I see a lot of guilt

and innocence

coming and going,

and on this one,

the fat lady has sung,

and her name

is Delores Parnicke.

Now, she signed a confession,

stating her involvement

in the killing

of Sissy Peyton.

Innocent people

confess.

So do guilty people.

I think she's lying.

Really? Why?

What then,

she read about Sissy's murder?

Why confess to something

she didn't do?

She wanted out.

I found a book

in their apartment

about how to leave

an abusive relationship.

She formulated a plan,

she implicated her boyfriend.

I believe that she planted

evidence in their apartment.

Here's the thing, agent Gand,

if you want to get Delores

and her boyfriend, Bud Skinner,

out of jail,

then you're going to have to

work harder,

and give me some evidence

that actually means something.

I'm on your side,

and I'm all for truth

and justice,

but I like evidence

even better.

Yeah?

Thanks.

Bud Skinner

failed his polygraph.

Convinced?

I won't let him

get away with this, Summer,

I promise you.

Agent Gand.

"I killed Sissy

and I did this one too.

Maybe this time you

believe I am still out here"

Really starting

to piss me off.

Hi.

Hi.

This may sound crazy but,

the last few weeks

have been some of

the best days of my life.

And there's just something

inside me changing.

What do you mean?

I'm falling

in love with you.

I am in love with you,

and I hope you feel

the same way about me.

Yeah. I do.

I just was afraid

to say it first.

Okay, so,

once these papers are signed,

I'd love to get married again.

What are you saying?

Well, if you'll have me...

Will you be my wife?

Yes!

Yeah?

Yes!

Now the latest

in the brutal slaying

of Sissy Peyton.

Delores Parnicke has confessed

that her boyfriend

Bud Skinner killed Peyton,

and that Parnicke

was an eyewitness.

According to authorities,

Skinner has denied

the allegations.

The lurid case

has brought notoriety

to Parnicke

for her role

as the alleged accomplice

in this brutal slaying...

They've got it all wrong.

I did it!

"I would

like to tell my story.

I am two people,

and sometimes

the bad one is in charge.

When I'm my bad self,

women better be careful.

Remember Sissy Peyton?

Met her at O' Finn's Tavern

and raped her

and beat her up real bad...

I strangled her

and ended her life.

This turned me on.

I got high.

Painted a happy face

on her chest.

"Told you it was time

to believe

that I'm out here..."

"Met another one

at a truck stop in Kennewick,

Summer Northern.

Long brown hair, country girl.

My mind went wild

with the thought

of a sex slave.

Told her she was gonna die

and slowly strangled her

with my belt.

I felt so much power...

Dropped the body

out in a field

by a pile of wood.

Red lipstick.

Drew a happy face

on some plywood...

I want the world to know

that this is my crime,

just like Sissy.

Whoever you think did it,

you are wrong.

It was me."

Hi.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's fine.

I miss you so much

when you're on the road.

I miss you, too.

I brought you

some coffee.

Oh, thank you.

It's personal

with you, isn't it?

Yes.

Two years

after I became an agent,

my sister Alison was murdered.

She had just gotten married,

and, one day, she went missing.

I don't even really know

what happened.

I never found out who did it.

I'm sorry.

You asked me to check

the papers

to see if Sissy's zipper

was ever mentioned.

It wasn't.

-You got a sec?

-Yeah.

These letters just came in.

Showed up on my desk

and sent to the papers.

Written by some nut,

signed with a happy face.

It's not some nut, it's him.

When are you

going to let this go?

The FBI lab confirmed

handwriting on the plywood

by Summer's body,

the handwriting in

the truck stop restroom

were a match.

Now, Bud and Delores

were in custody

when Summer was murdered.

How do you explain that?

It's a copycat.

But the scrawl in the restroom

mentioned the missing zipper.

That's a detail

only the killer would know.

That is very interesting,

but it doesn't change anything.

I've got some other news.

Bud has entered a plea.

He's agreed to 15 years.

Now, does that

sound like something

an innocent man would do?

The only thing I know

is that the person who did this

is still out there.

Well unless you can prove it,

we're done here.

Delores has confessed.

Bud has pled.

This is over, agent Gand.

In a case

that continues to astound,

authorities have confirmed

that Bud Skinner

murdered Sissy Peyton

as his girlfriend,

Delores Parnicke watched,

but troubling

new twists have surfaced,

and it now appears

someone dubbed

the "Happy Face Killer"

is taking credit

for the murder,

as well as others,

and may or may not be

a copycat.

Whatever the truth is,

the entire pacific northwest

is on edge,
