Part 1:
THE TAPES

Hi, my name is ...

Are you ready?

Yes, sorry.

My name is Alice Endrisart.

I am the owner of this house here and

some other houses here in

Poughkeepsie.

A tenant who had lived

this house ...

was a terrible person.

This is the house where they found

Poughkeepsie tapes.

Before we had the tapes

Poughkeepsie, we knew

that would be murder and

were aware that some

of them seem to be programmed,

in an organized manner, but ...

put your hands up

on the tapes, we had no idea

what we were dealing with.

No idea.

My task was to assist 24

hours of tapes from Poughkeepsie.

I remember one night, brought

home the tapes to work on them

and without my knowledge, my

wife saw a half hour of tape

and was nearly a year until

I could play it again.

It was for what he had on tape.

I think that torturing and

kill him, excited him e. ..

that these tapes are

a kind of homemade porn or ...

a reminder that he held for

long after the murders.

Definitely, he spent his

time during the murders ...

to exchange tapes.

When looking in the garden

found the body of two women ...

here and there ...

We found a deep hole here

where they were buried a young

couple and their baby 10 months.

There was a body of a man

there, the first tenant ...

and four women,

there

there

there ...

and there.

Even after the investigation

Initially, it was clear ...

They had all

died in a cruel way.

They found the tapes in this cabinet.

And then ...

You can imagine ...

When people think of killer

series, think of 4 or 5 people.

Ted Bundy, Dammer, Gacy, etc..

But most do not realize

that there are many more.

At one point,

there may be between 25 and 50

serial killers active

the United States alone.

This is really a very

larger than most people think ...

The tapes now, will be

necessarily examined

in order to discover

a psychological profile.

It is indispensable material

to teach a course.

There are probably hours and hours

tape that nobody saw except me.

For example, there are over

100 hours that are nonsense.

So?

Yes.

- So?

- Yes

- Now, blow it.

- What?

Pop it!

Part 2:
FIRST BLOOD

If I had to tell you something

first of all would be as follows:

After that we'll see ...

three of you return to

their homes tonight ...

and decide that this is not the

they want to do with their lives.

Will know that there are

awful people in this world

that are able to do

incredibly terrible things.

Therefore, it is very important,

you ask ...

I really want to wrap my life

with all these terrible things

for the rest of my

professional life?

Is it okay if they do not want.

I think something may have

happened in your life right now,

had a fight, lost

employment, left his wife ...

Went for a walk with your

car and a moment comes when it says:

"The next vulnerable person

to see, will die. "

Hello

I like your doll.

He said he liked your doll.

- What is your name?

- Suzy.

I must not talk to strangers.

But neither should

be rude ...

You know, if I were the Big Bad Wolf,

could not do anything about it.

Want to say something to the camera?

Like what?

I do not know.

Perhaps you could say that ...

is a beautiful and happy girl ...

No.

- Want to see how through the camera?

- No.

Look.

On first inspection

looked like it had been

hit with an elongated object.

We knew there was a girl

missing, Jennifer Gorman

about 80 km away

that matched the description

clothes found.

I think something happened to my

daughter. I think someone took it. / I

- Who?

- I do not know. He was in the garden. / I

's blood out here. Make

something. Someone took her. / I

If one is missing,

have to wait 24 hours. / i

No. There is blood, blood has

out here. Call the police now! / I

Obviously, you never

overcomes such a thing.

Do you think the pain

will disappear ...

e. ..

e. ..

things will get better.

- But not ...

- No. ..

After all this,

I wanted to change.

But I did not.

And if she does not escape and

could we meet?

I mean ...

What kind of sick

bastard rapes a girl?

It was just a child.

He was only 8 years ...

What kind of goddamn monster

do such a thing?

That's it, right?

Turn it off.

This is nothing. He did not even

knew what he was doing yet.

Part 3:
IMPROVING

Hey, something wrong with the car?

Yes, my car has no

who go sometimes.

It could take me

to the next town?

Sure, no problem. Climb.

Do you care

if I record this?

I'm making a movie

about my trip ...

No, really.

Honey, let's be stars

cinema.

- What is your name?

- Ed ..

I'm Ed Frank and her Jeanette.

If you take this exit, I can

leave a gas station.

Okay.

It is here, at right,

few km of the road ...

Okay.

You're here?

Actually, no.

Where are you?

I think the gas station

is turning the corner ...

This murder announces

a new breed of killer.

Almost nothing remains

impulsivity,

as shown

Jennifer Gorman ...

Here is a man who believes

who is good at something.

Imagine how it would

do something.

From the backseat of the car, get

a cloth with some substance

chemistry and with his right hand ...

and put it in the mouth and

with his left hand, without prejudice

extends the camera forward

and keep in front

her face as well.

This is not the kind of thing

to happen without more ...

He must have practiced

often for work.

The car was parked

the roadside.

He knew where the

nearest petrol station.

He also knew that was just

a few meters from the road.

I also knew that wilderness is

between the road and post.

In fact, the position of

Gasoline is abandoned.

But I bet he

knew that too.

He had a good

excuse for the camera.

This man is what

Killer called mixed.

Plans crimes

an organized manner

but mutilates bodies

and thereby disrupts ...

the scene that would be a normal

crime.

Wake up.

Wake up. Come on. chord.

Let's wake up. I

a surprise for you.

Wake up. Wake up.

Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

Wake up ...

Wake up ...

Wake up ...

Wake up ...

You'll love this.

I know.

Which brings me to another point:

Leave work at work.

I know that after

see something like this ...

it's hard to get him out of his head.

But you have to do it.

When I was 7, my sister

disappeared and was never found.

And destroyed what so far

had been a happy family.

And I swore I would hunt down the

unfortunate that

kidnap little girls.

And the reason why I teach

is because I could never leave

my work at work.

Some people consider me

the best researcher profiles.

And gone too far ...

I had a complete collapse

emotional and mental ...

Requiring to be hospitalized briefly

in a psychiatric hospital.

I'm not long for this

feel sorry for me or anything.

I tell you this because there is a

real risk with this work.

Can not think

in Jennifer Gorman

While his daughter is there

playing outside in the garden.

They must find a way to

leave your work at work.

Right?

We received the body of a woman
