00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,680
Hello! Welcome back to Diagnosing a Killer. I'm Kenna. And I'm Koelle. And I'm super excited!

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:37,000
We finally got a case back in X to a previous case. A previous case!

3
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:50,720
We're going to be talking about Patrick Kearney. One of three named the Freeway Killer. Which

4
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:56,560
we found out when you did Randy Kraft. And Randy Kraft is not the Freeway Killer. Patrick

5
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Kearney is not the Freeway Killer. William Bonin is the actual Freeway Killer. But we're

6
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:09,360
going to be talking about Patrick Kearney aka the Trashbag Murderer. The Trashbag Murderer!

7
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:16,080
Holy shit! I'm so excited because I was re-listening to Randy Kraft earlier. Well, I guess it's

8
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:21,440
the Trashbag Killer. But I was re-listening to Randy Kraft like a couple days ago. And

9
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080
I remembered you mentioned Patrick Kearney and I was like, oh my god, that would be

10
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,800
such a good case because they kind of correlate. So if you haven't heard Randy Kraft, listen

11
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,880
to it before you listen to this episode. But we're just going to get right into it because

12
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,320
I'm really excited to talk about this guy. Alrighty. I got my coffee. I'm ready. She

13
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:46,960
says it like up to her face when she's ready to take a picture. Alright. Patrick Wayne

14
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Kearney was born on September 24th, 1939 in East Los Angeles. It was the 30s. In East

15
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Los Angeles to George and Eunice Kearney. So some reports actually list Patrick as being

16
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,440
born in Texas. But his birth actually, his records indicate that he was indeed born in

17
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,400
LA. But I'll explain why the Texas thing comes in in a minute. Always got to talk about

18
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,800
Texas and we get a chance, right? It's true. So Patrick was the oldest of three. On July

19
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:24,240
19th, 1944, when Patrick was four, his younger brother Michael Erwin Kearney was born. And

20
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,200
when Patrick turned five and began school, his other younger brother Chester Ross Kearney

21
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,840
was born on August 28th, 1945. Cute. By all accounts, this family was very stable as the

22
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,860
boys grew up with actually no reports of abuse or trauma mentioned anywhere. Where's the

23
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:47,960
poop? Right. So their father George was actually an LAPD officer. We love them. Love them.

24
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,480
And mother Eunice was a homemaker. It was noted that George was a disciplinarian. However,

25
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:59,360
the home was quote, decent, honest and uncomplicated as according to the neighbors around the neighborhood

26
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,520
or the community. It was also noted that the area Patrick and his family lived in was a

27
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,960
quote, tough area populated by Hispanic and black gangs who were always at loggerheads.

28
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,520
I had to look up that word because I didn't recognize it. But loggerhead pretty much just

29
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,680
means like dispute. So the two gangs were like always in some sort of disagreement. But that

30
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,640
was like mentioned for, I guess it was like a not so safe part of town because of that.

31
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:30,280
But other than that, inside the home seemed very, you know, very decent. So I mentioned

32
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,280
that when Patrick was five, his younger brother was born. And this is the same time that he

33
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,160
was starting elementary school. Patrick attended elementary school in Montabello and he was

34
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,840
noted as being a thin, shy, like kind of sickly looking child. So like already not looking

35
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,080
like that. I know, right? Because we just talking about that's it's always those right?

36
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,440
It's like, oh, there's seemingly no problems in the house, but the child was very sickly.

37
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,480
Yeah, no, and then it's like children are dicks and they're just gonna fucking like

38
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,160
make fun. And sometimes like, you know, they have dad complexes and stuff because their

39
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,760
dads like they want these strong strapping young lads. Yeah, there was a Robert Burdella

40
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,120
that we were talking about. Yeah, yeah, it was like low blood pressure when he was like

41
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:26,720
a child. I have high blood pressure, feel bad for me. Yeah. As I drink my coffee. Now,

42
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,280
unfortunately, like I said, Patrick's appearance kind of gave his classmates the perfect thing

43
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,320
to tease and bully him about. So although his home life was pretty decent, his childhood

44
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:41,240
was not without hardship, especially in school. It was as early as the age of eight that it's

45
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,160
reported that Patrick actually began having thoughts of killing. I assumed because he

46
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,560
was being bullied at school super often that he actually fantasized about killing these

47
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,840
bullies at school, which is like really sad. Did he end up abusing animals? Of course.

48
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,560
Serial killer. Damn it. Now at the age of 10, Patrick's family moved to Runny Mead Street

49
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,920
on the outskirts of Rosenda, which is near the San Fernando Valley still in California.

50
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,280
This being the case, Patrick had to change schools. Unfortunately, being the new kid

51
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,600
at school and again with his appearance subjected him to immediately become bullied again. The

52
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,360
bullying actually got so bad that Patrick would later compare his school and his life

53
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:30,880
to that of Carey's from the 1976 film, Carey. He recalled that he was a slight effeminate

54
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,360
wimpy boy. He wore thick lens glasses. I thought Carey didn't come out until the 70s though.

55
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,760
That's why I said 1976. He would later recall that he was like when he was older, he would

56
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:48,160
say that that was old. Okay. It was like how? Time traveler. Yeah. I'm not going to censor

57
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,720
these words because they are quotes, but I will say trigger warning these words can

58
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,920
be a little triggering. But he would also recall that his fellow students would call him names

59
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,440
such as quote girly boy, quote queer boy and quote little faggot despite the fact that

60
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,160
he was interested in girls. I don't like that word, but I'm trying to prove the point that

61
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,560
he was like dealing with this for much of his childhood. Right. Okay. I won't say it

62
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,000
again, but that's that's the word that comes up frequently. I hate that word. I know I

63
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,520
do too. So of course, this bullying would stick with him for the long run. This is also the

64
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,880
time that he recalls really being obsessed over thoughts of killing the bullies, but

65
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,280
it became like compulsive. Like he would like frequently, frequently think about it. Now

66
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:37,520
fast forward to when Patrick turned 13. His father took him out for a quote bonding experience

67
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,320
and he bought him a 22 caliber rifle for hunting, right, which is not unusual, especially for

68
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,840
avid hunters. It's really typical to teach children at a young age about gun safety and

69
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:52,640
you know, hunting for their food. However, it wasn't necessarily animals that Patrick

70
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,120
was planning on hunting and being honest to his dad. And so he was like taking this lesson

71
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:03,080
and turning it into something really horrible. Yeah. And also during this lesson, his father

72
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,800
was not without blame because he actually brought him to out to hunt for pigs. And he

73
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,000
had explained to Patrick that the best way and most humane place was to shoot the pig

74
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,880
behind the left ear is what calls the least amount of bleeding. Okay, normal. Content

75
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,480
warning animals. Now the lesson again, not bad in itself, but apparently Patrick decided

76
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,440
to take it to the extreme and he began hunting and slaughtering animals inhumanely and just

77
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:35,360
for fun, which I hate that. Now while again, content warning, content warning, while killing

78
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:41,040
these animals, Patrick would actually later admit that he would roll around in their blood

79
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:48,280
and their guts and would fantasize about them being humans rather than animals. So it's

80
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:57,800
kind of escalating a little bit. It's kind of serious. Again, content warning, content

81
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,040
warning. Again, it's like those moments because at this point he hasn't, I mean, well, fuck

82
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:12,600
anybody who harms animals. I'm sorry. I mean, to me, yeah, no, but it's like, but at this

83
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,120
point he hasn't killed anybody, but you're just thinking like, oh my God, there are all

84
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,840
the signs, all of the things are right there. And I mean, this is the kind of shit you hear

85
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:28,000
about before a school shooting, you know, I mean, that's, it's, yeah, and especially

86
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,400
the bullying, but at the same time, it seems at this point that no one, he's not admitting

87
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:40,200
this to anybody, the bullying, especially the animal cruelty, especially like he's not,

88
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,360
no one has seen him do that and he's not telling that to anybody. So it's like, who would have

89
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:50,600
known like, you know, again, content warning, content warning. It was around this time that

90
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,840
Patrick later claimed to have actually had his first sexual experience with the family

91
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,400
dog. I won't go into detail because it's a tenacross.

92
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Already getting heavy, sorry for all of the content. And that's where we end. Yeah, I

93
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,600
hadn't seen. So in 1953, when Patrick reached middle school, he attended the Diane St. Leikman

94
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Special Education Center in Rosenda, California, where of course the bullying continued. The

95
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:21,320
children at this new school, his middle school also referred to him as quote, F word boy,

96
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,920
I'm not going to say it again, but same similarly to his last school and would tease him constantly

97
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:32,640
about his feminine appearance. It was at this time that Patrick actually began admitting

98
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,680
to himself that he may not be as heterosexual as he was putting on up until this point.

99
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:43,400
But of course he would never let the school children know about that. So before he had

100
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,200
any real time to make friends at this school, his father George resigned from the LAPD and

101
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,280
actually became a salesman for a travel agency. Because of this new job, the family moved

102
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,880
to Wilcox, Arizona when Patrick was in seventh grade, and he moved schools yet again to Wilcox

103
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Middle School where, you guessed it, the bullying continued.

104
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,720
Despite the hard times he found himself in middle school, Patrick was actually really

105
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,600
passionate about learning new languages. And while attending this school, he became proficient

106
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,000
in Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. Yeah, because he probably hated America.

107
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,480
That's true. Also, I want to just point out that Mandarin Chinese and Japanese are like

108
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,200
very difficult languages to learn.

109
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,240
Shortly after this school year, the family found themselves moving back to California

110
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:34,080
again for dad's job, this time in Redondo Beach, which I've been to and it's beautiful.

111
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,280
This is where I'm going to pepper that up there. I was there for like a total of four

112
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,480
hours because we were in a layover in California.

113
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,360
This is where Patrick would attend high school and eventually graduate in 1957. Now it was

114
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,440
noted that the family moved to Texas after this for a short period of time, but they

115
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,840
ended up coming back to California once again where Patrick attended El Camino Community

116
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:01,080
College for a short period of time. Not wanting to continue with college in 1958, at the age

117
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:07,800
of 19, Patrick decided to join the Air Force. You kind of see that, right? I feel like in

118
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,120
cases that we've talked about, especially when kids are having a hard time growing up,

119
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,520
they don't really see a clear path for them. They don't really have something that they're

120
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,560
kind of learning towards as they go through high school. They kind of join the military,

121
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:22,240
especially because they are, they're wanting that structure.

122
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,520
Yeah, they're craving structure. Normally that, but they're craving to use guns legally.

123
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,120
That's also true. In my opinion.

124
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,600
Hoping to be able to travel the world with the military, Patrick was slightly disappointed

125
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:41,120
when he became stationed in Texas for his basic training. I just wanted to leave.

126
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,800
Now while in Texas, Patrick met a man by the name of David Hill. And although David was

127
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:51,000
married to a woman at the time, the two quickly became friends and secret lovers. And it was

128
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,480
at this point that Patrick decided to act on his sexual tendencies. So up until this

129
00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,200
point, he had been in denial that he may have been homosexual. So David Hill had been dishonorably

130
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,320
discharged from the army. So I made the assumption that they just met from mutual friends, you

131
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,880
know, in the military community. Now Hill was born in Lubbock, Texas in 1942. And he was

132
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,240
noted as being a high school dropout and quote, one of life's natural born slackers.

133
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,320
Kind of like a terrible umbrella to put over someone's head.

134
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,960
I love that.

135
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,480
It was also noted that the two, David and Patrick, made an odd looking couple with Patrick

136
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,880
being a very wimpy looking 5'7 and David being six foot two and particularly muscular.

137
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Oh, I know.

138
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,360
I'm like, oh, it's all dark and handsome.

139
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,800
It's also married to a woman and having a secret affair with a man.

140
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,520
The couple would maintain an on again, off again relationship for the next 15 years.

141
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,640
Good for them.

142
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,840
On again, off again. Good for them.

143
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,840
For 15 years.

144
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,840
Okay, we'll just wait.

145
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,320
It's a long relationship.

146
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,320
Story quickly goes downhill.

147
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,440
All right.

148
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,840
And then he beads in blood.

149
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,880
Well, I mean, pretty fucking much.

150
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,360
Now at the age of 21, while still in Texas, Patrick received an honorable discharge from

151
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,360
the Air Force.

152
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,960
It didn't say exactly why, but with his stent in the military ending, he made the choice

153
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,360
to move back to California this time in Long Beach and David went with him.

154
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,360
So they both moved back to California together.

155
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,880
Is David divorced now?

156
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,440
He's not like he's separated from his wife.

157
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,320
I think that he kind of is like, yeah, I'm going to be with Patrick now.

158
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,360
Oh, I'm just going to take a trip with the boys.

159
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,360
All right.

160
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,880
What is it?

161
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,880
Indefinitely.

162
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,280
I'm going to take a trip with the boys indefinitely.

163
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,640
Now it was noted that while in California, Patrick began working as an engineer for Hughes

164
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:41,640
aircraft.

165
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,440
Obviously he did a stent in the Air Force, where his coworkers and bosses alike described

166
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,800
him as a quote model worker.

167
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Always seems that way.

168
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:49,800
Always.

169
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Because they're very organized.

170
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Of course.

171
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,480
It was also at this time that it's noted that Patrick began taking college courses again,

172
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,640
this time at Cal State University in Long Beach.

173
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,440
After moving to Long Beach together, the couple.

174
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,440
The couple.

175
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,440
The couple.

176
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,440
The couple.

177
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,680
The couple suffered from frequent explosive fights.

178
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:10,760
And eventually in 1962, David actually left Patrick and went back to Texas to be with

179
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,920
his ex-wife Linda.

180
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,920
Wow.

181
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,920
He left him again.

182
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,520
He's going back and forth between these two.

183
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,520
Okay, never mind.

184
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,600
I take back what I said.

185
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Newly single and very angry, Patrick began frequenting gay bars around Southern California

186
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:29,040
and even some in Mexico where he used his knowledge of Spanish to speak to the locals.

187
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,480
This would be his motive in order to pick up potential victims in the future.

188
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:39,600
And in the spring of the same year, 1962, Patrick would murder his first known victim.

189
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,840
His fueling anger from David leaving him seemingly is what was the tipping point.

190
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,760
For Sally or whatever her name is.

191
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:47,760
Linda.

192
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Oh, Linda.

193
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,760
Listen, Linda.

194
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Listen, Linda.

195
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,640
Content warning.

196
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,600
Patrick was driving around on his motorcycle, frequenting the bars that he usually did.

197
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,920
When he picked up a hitchhiker that is actually still unknown to this day, his name, a 19-year-old

198
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,400
man in Orange, California.

199
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Although the identity of this man is unknown, it is noted that he was either from Oklahoma

200
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,240
or Louisiana, so he wasn't a local.

201
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:16,160
The man got on the back of Patrick's motorcycle and after driving him to a secluded spot,

202
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,240
Patrick shot the man behind his left ear, similarly to the way that he had been told

203
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,240
to kill pigs.

204
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,240
Wow.

205
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,720
Content warning.

206
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,280
After Patrick was sure that the man was dead, he sexually assaulted his body, dismembered

207
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,080
and mutilated the corpse, stuffed it into garbage bags, and disposed of him off of Highway

208
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,000
86, the trash bag killer.

209
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,520
This is another reason that he was dubbed the freeway killer, of course, because it's

210
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,000
disposal off of the highway, along with Randy Craft and William Bonin.

211
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Well, I mean, you know, I feel like they're all highway killers.

212
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Yeah.

213
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,200
I mean, even Eileen Warnos.

214
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Yeah.

215
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,160
I mean, it was all down in Interstate 75 and I actually looked up a map, which I didn't

216
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:03,040
say in the episode, I regret now, but I looked at a map and you can see where she dumped.

217
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Do you see the dots in different counties?

218
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,920
And that's why it was kind of hard for her to get caught for a while too, is because

219
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,520
although the MO is similar, it's all different counties.

220
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,520
Yeah, that's true.

221
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,920
All different police departments.

222
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:15,920
Jurisdictions, yeah.

223
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:22,160
Well, also, not for nothing, but what's the slowest you can go on a highway is 55, 60?

224
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880
We're going pretty fast past these things.

225
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,760
Like, who's going to just stop on this, you know?

226
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,760
Exactly.

227
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,840
Now, it was noted that Patrick's second victim was actually this unnamed 19-year-old little

228
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,400
cousin who was 16 years old.

229
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,400
What?

230
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,040
This boy was never identified by name either, but it was noted that the 16-year-old had

231
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,120
actually seen his older cousin get on the back of Patrick's motorcycle, so he saw Patrick's

232
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,600
face.

233
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,120
And he realized that this boy was a potential witness, so he pursued him and convinced him

234
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,960
to get on his motorcycle as well, most likely telling him that he was going to take him

235
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,360
to his cousin.

236
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,800
The method was the same.

237
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Patrick took the boy to a remote area and shot him in the head, content warning, sexually

238
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,720
assaulting his corpse the same way and disposing of him.

239
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,640
It was actually not stated when this second murder took place, however, it seemed as if

240
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,600
it was the same night due to the fact that he knew where the 16-year-old was, which is

241
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:21,320
wild to me that it was his first murder, but it was pretty much within the same couple

242
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,360
of hours, it seems like.

243
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:27,640
And he clearly knew what he was doing because he already has an elbow.

244
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,040
He had it planned out.

245
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,920
It was methodical for sure.

246
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,240
Now, Patrick confessed to killing one more young man this same year, an 18-year-old

247
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,480
named Mike, although there is not much known about this murder either.

248
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,680
What month was this?

249
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,240
This is within six months of the first six months of 1962 that these three happened,

250
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,800
which is really quick.

251
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:54,520
It was around July of 1962 that David left his wife Linda yet again and moved back to

252
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,560
California to be with Patrick.

253
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,400
And what do you think Patrick did?

254
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,240
He accepted him with open arms.

255
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,160
After David moved back to California, Patrick and him seemingly had a great life together.

256
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,720
Living in Long Beach, Patrick still working at Hughes Aircraft and even becoming a senior

257
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:20,160
research assistant by 1963, putting his salary at $20,000 a year, which roughly translates

258
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,160
today to $193,000.

259
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,840
He was making a good living at this place.

260
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,720
I wonder David was like, whatcha doing?

261
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,280
Whatcha doing over there?

262
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,160
Well, since he was doing really well with money, David was not working because he didn't

263
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,040
need to apparently.

264
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,760
Because David was not working, this was actually causing a lot of strain on their relationship.

265
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,960
And they began arguing frequently again.

266
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,960
No.

267
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,680
I said on again off again for 15 years.

268
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,960
I didn't realize it was that on and off again.

269
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,440
I'm so annoying.

270
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,520
So due to Patrick's new position at work, it took the men to Culver City, where their

271
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,760
relationship cooled down for a little while.

272
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:04,800
Now there is not much known about Patrick's next victim, but he did confess to killing

273
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:10,040
an unnamed man sometime in 1965 in Orange County, California.

274
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,400
Perhaps all there is that's known about that crime.

275
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,400
Okay.

276
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,280
Now fast forward to 1966, Patrick is now 26 years old, still living with David, who had

277
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,200
actually filed for divorce from Linda the same year.

278
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,320
In June of 1967, Patrick invited David to take a road trip with him down to Mexico, where

279
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,240
they had met up with an old friend by the name of George.

280
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,320
They had their visit and they headed back home.

281
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:39,000
Patrick later confessed to killing George that same year in December, months after they

282
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,760
took this trip.

283
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:46,640
So Patrick somehow had made his way back down to Mexico and went over to George's house

284
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,440
without David.

285
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,680
He actually snuck in while George was sleeping, content warning.

286
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,520
Patrick snuck into George's room and shot him fatally between the eyes while he was

287
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,800
asleep.

288
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:03,040
After he was deceased, Patrick put his corpse in the bathtub and sodomized his body.

289
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,000
Content warning again.

290
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,480
He then began skinning George's body with an X-Acto knife and completely dismembered

291
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,480
the corpse.

292
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,480
Why?

293
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,120
That was awful.

294
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:16,280
An X-Acto knife?

295
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,280
That's like tedious.

296
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,280
I'm just taking ages.

297
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,480
I'm not trying to be coarse with saying that.

298
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,680
I'm just saying that's an X-Acto knife.

299
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,320
It makes my stuff occur.

300
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,440
Now after he was finished with this portion of his crime, he actually buried George's

301
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,480
body in his own backyard behind the garage.

302
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,920
Not before removing the bullet from his head in case the body was ever discovered so that

303
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:39,920
he wouldn't get caught.

304
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,920
Well he took him apart.

305
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:41,920
I would just think.

306
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,920
Yeah.

307
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,360
I mean, oh gosh, that's awful.

308
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:51,840
George's remains would not be found until nearly 10 years later.

309
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:57,040
Now after this crime, Patrick was absolutely terrified that he would be caught because

310
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,760
he was in this man's home.

311
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,920
This man is, he probably has neighbors, you know, like two noses.

312
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:02,920
How bold.

313
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,920
Yeah.

314
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:09,200
So at the age of 27 in 1967, Patrick actually decided to take a break from killing.

315
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,960
I'm not gonna take, I'm gonna lay low for a little while.

316
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,560
And he actually put an offer on a house in Redondo Beach, California where he lived before.

317
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,520
An offer of about $20,000, which is, that's a lot.

318
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Yeah, but like, I want to pay that much for a house today.

319
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,960
The offer was accepted and him and David both moved in together in December of 1967.

320
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,200
Okay.

321
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:35,360
This would become the house in which many of his future murders occurred.

322
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:37,840
But David lives there.

323
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Does he?

324
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,840
Oh God.

325
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,840
No.

326
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,000
David.

327
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,520
So so far we've spoken about the victims that Patrick later confessed to killing, but

328
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,920
it was not until 1968 that there was a victim he was later confirmed to have killed and

329
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,200
was convicted of.

330
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,400
So these ones we've talked about, he was never confirmed.

331
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,080
He was just saying, I did those, I did those.

332
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,160
And then 1968 was his first confirmed.

333
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,080
Now David and Patrick both lived together in this home that Patrick had purchased until

334
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:13,480
June of 1971 when David decided to leave Patrick yet again, this time leaving only a note.

335
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,480
What?

336
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,480
Yeah.

337
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,040
What is, what, what is, he's probably like a fucking weirdo and David's like, I don't

338
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,040
know if I can be with you.

339
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,040
They were fighting a lot.

340
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,040
Yeah.

341
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Patrick's just too weird to be with.

342
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,040
At this point though, seemingly David has no idea what's been going on.

343
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:36,160
Due to this breakup this time, Patrick yet again became enraged and he wanted revenge.

344
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,440
Not gonna get revenge on David though.

345
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,120
He's gonna take it out on some innocent fucking people.

346
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:41,120
That's awful.

347
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,520
I wonder what David would have done had he known that every time he left him he was murdering

348
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,000
people.

349
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,120
So Patrick began his old ways, driving around for hours and looking for anyone to pick up

350
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:52,840
and harm.

351
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,560
This is where I'm gonna list all of his known victims in order and they happen really fast

352
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,640
so it's a lot but it is important for the story.

353
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:07,320
On June 26th, 1971, very shortly after David left Patrick once again, Patrick came upon

354
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:14,360
13 year old John E. Demchick who was standing on a corner in Inglewood.

355
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:19,640
Patrick offered to drive him home but he of course had other plans.

356
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,640
Content warning.

357
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,880
When the boy entered the truck, Patrick shot him in the head.

358
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:29,400
He then drove to a secluded area about 15 miles southeast of Kalexico where he dragged

359
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,240
the boy who was unconscious and bleeding badly to a nearby gully.

360
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,160
He undressed the boy and sexually abused him and then he left him completely naked in the

361
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,040
gully to die.

362
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Unfortunately the boy did not survive this attack and his body would not be found for

363
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,480
nearly 20 months.

364
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,480
Wow.

365
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,640
By the way, this is a content warning for like the rest of this part.

366
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,640
Yeah.

367
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,760
I'm gonna describe murder after murder.

368
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,000
After this, Patrick abducted and killed a 17 year old boy by the name of James Barwick

369
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,760
on an unknown date.

370
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,800
He shot the boy in the back of the head, assaulted his body and disposed of him similarly to

371
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,480
others in the past.

372
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,400
Although they did not know exactly the date he was killed, the body was found on September

373
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,400
11th, 1973.

374
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,560
You said similarly, does that mean trash bags?

375
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,560
Yes.

376
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,560
Okay.

377
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,560
Because he didn't do that to the gully kid.

378
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Yes.

379
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,160
So like, you know, in a remote like secluded kind of like off the road location.

380
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,160
I see what you mean.

381
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,160
Yeah.

382
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,720
So on August 24th, 1974, a five year old boy by the name of Ronald Dean Smith disappeared

383
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,040
in Lenox, California.

384
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,440
I know.

385
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,000
Patrick actually changed his MO slightly this time and actually held the boy captive

386
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,360
for two days, sexually assaulting him multiple times.

387
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:45,360
He then killed the boy by suffocation before dumping his simi nude body in Riverside County

388
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:49,120
where it was found 49 days later.

389
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:54,760
On April 13th, 1975, Patrick picked up a male prostitute by the name of Albert Rivera, where

390
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,240
he drove him to a secluded location and shot him in the head.

391
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,240
He then took Albert's body back to his house where he sodomized him and then proceeded

392
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,880
to cut his body into pieces, disposing him in garbage bags.

393
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,760
On November 10th, 1975, Patrick picked up 20 year old Larry Jean Walters and brought

394
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,400
him to his home and shot him in the head.

395
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,880
He then sodomized his body and dismembered him, disposing him in garbage bags as well.

396
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,480
It's just like boom, boom, boom.

397
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,480
In the fall of 1976, a 17 year old boy by the name of Robert Billy Benifold was riding

398
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,760
his bike down a road in Redondo Beach, California when his bike actually malfunctioned.

399
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080
Patrick just so happened to be driving by when he spotted the boy and he offered him

400
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,400
a ride.

401
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,200
The boy accepted and got into Patrick's truck.

402
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,640
Patrick proceeded to act out his usual MO, shooting the boy in the back of the head and

403
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,560
taking him back to his house.

404
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,480
He sexually assaulted the boy and dismembered him and dumped his body in multiple different

405
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,200
locations.

406
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:55,840
Due to his body being in several different locations, he was actually never found.

407
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,640
Everyone take a deep breath, we're gonna keep going.

408
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,760
I know, oh man.

409
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,480
On March 1st, 1976, Patrick picked up another 17 year old boy that was walking down the

410
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,320
street by the name of Kenneth E- uh, I think his last name is Buchanan.

411
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,920
The boy accepted and when he got in the truck, Patrick shot him in the back of the head and

412
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,520
took him to his house.

413
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,560
He sodomized the boy and at some point during this attack, Kenneth actually woke up and

414
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,000
came to.

415
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,720
And Patrick responded to this by shooting him three more times.

416
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:30,720
On March 21st, 1976, so this is just 20 days later, a 13 year old by the name of Oliver

417
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,320
Peter Molloyder was hitchhiking in Redondo Beach when Patrick came upon him and offered

418
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,480
him a ride.

419
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,800
During their time together, Patrick stated that they played quote, doctor, which led

420
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,400
to sex.

421
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,160
There's a 13 year old can consent, right?

422
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,800
It just led to that.

423
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,960
Patrick said that later on about this murder.

424
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Like there's not a lot of things that enrage me more than an adult saying that like, oh

425
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,160
well, she wanted it.

426
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,520
She's fucking 16, okay?

427
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,560
You know, she doesn't have a choice in that matter.

428
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Unfortunately Patrick ultimately killed the boy, dismembering his body and putting it

429
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,800
into multiple garbage bags.

430
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,040
He had also scattered these bags and many different places at the Palos Verdes landfill,

431
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,040
making it difficult to find his entire body.

432
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:23,920
On April 19th, 1976, Patrick picked up a 15 year old boy by the name of Larry Armandares,

433
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,840
who was hitchhiking as well.

434
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,640
He was shot in the back of the head upon entering the truck and taken back to Patrick's house,

435
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,720
where he sexually assaulted his corpse and dismembered and disposed of him.

436
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,720
We're still going.

437
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,400
Just to show how much of a monster this fucking guy is.

438
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,800
I mean, I guess he's not one of the most famous serial killers in the world because

439
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,760
he had a short list, you know?

440
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,480
Yeah, that's ridiculous.

441
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:52,440
On June 16th, 1976, 13 year old Michael Greg McKee was hitchhiking from Englewood Avenue

442
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,160
to Torrance when Patrick picked him up.

443
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,880
According to police, Patrick had befriended the boy and actually invited him to attend

444
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,280
a camping trip over the course of the weekend.

445
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,200
After spending time with the boy, Michael apparently had opened up about his criminal

446
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,640
history the boy had and inquired about the location of burglar alarms in Patrick's house.

447
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,600
I guess, you know, this is the 70s, so these kids are hitchhiking.

448
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,200
They're probably hitchhiking for a reason.

449
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:25,040
Hearing this boy kind of hype himself up about his past crimes made Patrick upset and he

450
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,320
shot and killed him.

451
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,640
Later, while being interviewed by detectives about this murder, Patrick implied that he

452
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,720
had destroyed the remains stating, quote, I dispose of the body.

453
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,320
You aren't going to find him.

454
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,560
And unfortunately, the boy was never found.

455
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,520
Okay, we're done with that section.

456
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,320
That was a lot, boom, boom, boom, like I said, and it was a lot of people back to back, but

457
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,120
it's just so telling about how much of a fucking piece of shit this is.

458
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,120
Right.

459
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,680
Now, if it's not already clear, at this point, Patrick recalls being obsessed with other

460
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,000
active and past serial killers.

461
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,520
He recalled keeping everything documented on one Dean Coral.

462
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,760
Do you know who that is?

463
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:01,760
No, I don't.

464
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:02,760
I didn't either.

465
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,640
It's a serial killer from December, 1939 to August, 1973.

466
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:07,640
Wow.

467
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,640
It's almost 40 years.

468
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,640
It's a long time.

469
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,880
We need to do an episode on him for sure.

470
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,600
Well, being in California in the 70s, we know this and the listeners probably do as well.

471
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,280
There were multiple serial killers that were active around this time.

472
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Patrick later recalled being intrigued by the lot such as the Hillside Stranglers, the

473
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,320
Zodiac Killer, and Randy Kraft.

474
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,240
Ooh, he's got a fan.

475
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,240
Right.

476
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,240
One.

477
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,240
Just one.

478
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,000
The Zodiac Killer and Patrick, however, was that his MO was much different than theirs.

479
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,720
He would typically, you know, shoot his victims in the head, carefully dismember them.

480
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,680
He would actually, I didn't mention this in the past ones, but he would drain their

481
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,240
blood and even wash their bodies before disposing of them so that there was no evidence on the

482
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,240
bodies.

483
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,240
Right.

484
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Which coincides with learning about hunting and stuff.

485
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,720
Yeah, absolutely.

486
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:57,120
On June 20th, 1976, Patrick met one John Woody Woods and did his usual MO, shooting and

487
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,840
killing him, sexually assaulting him, and dismembering and disposing of his body.

488
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,320
Sometime in this year as well, 17-year-old male Larry S.B. was hitchhiking in Redondo

489
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,640
Beach when Patrick came across him and offered him a ride.

490
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,960
Larry accepted and when he got in the truck, he was shot in the back of the head as well.

491
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,400
Patrick then took him home and proceeded to do what he does.

492
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,080
His body was found on August 23rd, 1976.

493
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:27,600
On August 28th, 1976, police found the body of Wilfred Lawrence Faraday as he had been

494
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:32,720
shot in the head and dumped as well, and this murder had also been linked to Patrick

495
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,720
in the future.

496
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:39,600
In the same month of 1976, a 16-year-old hitchhiker named Randall Randy Lawrence Moore was shot

497
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,040
in the head by Patrick and dumped as well.

498
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:47,280
On October 6th, 1976, Patrick came across 20-year-old hitchhiker Mark Andrew Oric where

499
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,080
he shot and killed him.

500
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,360
It's just like, boom, boom, boom.

501
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,360
Right.

502
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,720
This one was a little different, however, because the body was found the same day he

503
00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:00,240
was killed, showing that Patrick may have been interrupted and was actually unable to

504
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,000
take him home and complete his MO.

505
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Wow.

506
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,560
It almost seems like he had to dump him quickly and leave.

507
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,560
On November 15th, 1976, a 19-year-old male named Timothy B. Ingham was hitchhiking in

508
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,120
California when he was picked up by Patrick.

509
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,160
He traveled south and at some point, Patrick shot the boy in the head while he was asleep

510
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,840
and actually threw his body down a ravine.

511
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,960
He did not go back to the house because he was actually on his way to Mexico.

512
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,280
While there, he actually gave some of his friends items from the boy that he had picked

513
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,280
up and killed.

514
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,480
He was like, oh, I bought these gifts, like these personal items.

515
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,560
That is awful.

516
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,560
Yeah.

517
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,280
Imagine getting something like that as a gift.

518
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,000
You're like, wow, what a beautiful ring.

519
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,800
And then knowing that it's like a murder of eggdoms.

520
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,800
Yeah.

521
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,000
And it's like the trophy.

522
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,080
On an unknown date in the fall of 1976, Patrick came across 27-year-old David Allen in Fallbrook,

523
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,080
San Diego.

524
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,440
He picked the man up and proceeded to shoot and kill him as well, leaving him on the side

525
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,520
of the road.

526
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:06,320
In the beginning of 1977, the body of a 28-year-old male prostitute by the name of Nicholas Nicky

527
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,200
Hernandez-Himenez was found.

528
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,880
The boy was shot in the head, dismembered, and disposed of in trash bags.

529
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:19,120
On February 19th of 1977, Patrick changes up his MO yet again and decides that this

530
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:24,680
time he wanted to target an acquaintance of his, not some stranger, someone that he knew.

531
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,800
Well, technically this is the second one then, right?

532
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Because he knew George too.

533
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,640
Oh, you're right.

534
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,640
This man's name was Arturo Romoz Marquez.

535
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,920
He later confessed to shooting and killing the friend, dismembering and disposing of

536
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,000
his body.

537
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:46,280
On March 13th, 1977, a 17-year-old boy named John Otis LeMay came to Patrick's house.

538
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:51,240
At around 5.30pm on the same day, John had told a neighbor that he was going to Redondo

539
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,640
Beach to meet a man named Dave, whom he had met at a local gym.

540
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,560
This man was, in fact, David Hill, who had reconnected with Patrick and gave the boy

541
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,440
Patrick's address with the promise of hanging out.

542
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,120
That's right, folks.

543
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,120
That's right.

544
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Oh my god, why?

545
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:17,800
The truth comes out and David Hill had been in contact with Patrick the whole time.

546
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:24,360
However, it was later determined that he had, quote, no involvement in the crimes and was

547
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,360
released.

548
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,360
That's bullshit.

549
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,360
We'll see if we believe that.

550
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,360
Yeah, that's bullshit.

551
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,360
That's fun.

552
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,360
That dance.

553
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,360
I was like, I can't.

554
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,360
I was like, I can't.

555
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,360
I was like, I can't.

556
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,360
I was like, I can't.

557
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,360
I was like, I can't.

558
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,440
I was like, I can't.

559
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,080
I was like, I can't.

560
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,400
It was like the Grinch.

561
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:51,560
Okay, so back to March 13th, John LeMay went to Patrick's address with the idea that David

562
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,520
would be there to hang out because he had met David at the gym previously.

563
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,120
They had reconnected, they had connected as friends and David gave him his address, which

564
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,120
is Patrick's address.

565
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,120
They lived together.

566
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,480
And he said, here, go to my address.

567
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,660
I'll meet you there.

568
00:34:04,660 --> 00:34:07,880
When the boy arrived, however, David was not there yet.

569
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,480
He was, that was, David's plan was to meet the boy.

570
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,240
He just wasn't there yet.

571
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:15,920
But Patrick invited him to come on in and watch some TV and hang out anyway and wait

572
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,080
for David.

573
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,920
While waiting and watching TV, John's on the couch.

574
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:27,280
Patrick left the room and grabbed his 22 derringer and shot the boy in the back of the head,

575
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,400
killing him instantly.

576
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,160
He took the time to carefully cut the boy's body up, drained the parts of blood and washed

577
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,680
them before neatly packaging them into five different trash bags.

578
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,680
How far away was David?

579
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,680
You're so sus.

580
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:45,920
But so sus.

581
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Yeah, David's not looking good in this one.

582
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,000
Yeah, no, not looking good for you, David.

583
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,240
All of these bags were sealed with nylon filament tape.

584
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:55,160
He then disposed of the bags.

585
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,480
Two bags were discarded on the ground and three others were stuffed into a nearby 80 gallon

586
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,840
oil drum.

587
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,920
Now, since John had told a neighbor the name of the man he was going to meet, and when

588
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,520
he did not return home that evening or the next day, his mother began to worry, she called

589
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,360
the El Segundo police department with a terrible feeling that something horrible had happened

590
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,440
to her son.

591
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,440
She was adamant that he never left for more than a day without letting her know where

592
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,200
he was or checking in.

593
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,480
However, the police were convinced he was just a runaway.

594
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,480
Have you heard that before?

595
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,480
Of course.

596
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,480
This is an LA, right?

597
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,480
If I had a dollar.

598
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,480
Yes.

599
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,480
What's in California?

600
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,480
Oh, that's dull.

601
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,880
Five days later, actually it's in Redondo Beach, which is right next to LA.

602
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,720
Five days later, John's mother's worst fears were realized when they found the garbage

603
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:39,800
bags.

604
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:45,080
With all five bags being found, there was actually never a head recovered at all.

605
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,480
The body was identified by a unique birthmark.

606
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:57,000
If this doesn't piss you off, the police chalked up this killing.

607
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,480
They found many people in garbage bags.

608
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:05,200
Two, quote, just another F word in the bag killing.

609
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,520
Are you serious?

610
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,280
That's what they fucking said.

611
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,400
That made my stomach hurt.

612
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,400
Like the rhyming?

613
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,400
Yeah.

614
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,400
Shorthand?

615
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Yeah.

616
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,480
Although the police didn't really seem to care that a number of homosexual men were

617
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,160
being murdered, they did have interest in solving the case and getting someone pinned

618
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,400
for it.

619
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,400
And with a lead from John knowing David's first name, they had quickly narrowed down

620
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,720
to Patrick and David.

621
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:36,440
Even though the police were searching for leads and honing in on them, Patrick could

622
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,160
not resist his need to kill.

623
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:46,720
And on April 6, 1977, Patrick alerted eight-year-old Merle Hondo Chance to his home after seeing

624
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:49,240
him riding around the neighborhood on his bike.

625
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,760
He smothered the young boy to death.

626
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,920
Very weird because usually his M.O. is a gunshot.

627
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:55,920
Is a gun, yeah.

628
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,320
He's probably just trying something else out.

629
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,200
Unfortunately, he sexually assaulted the boy's body and dismembered and dumped him.

630
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:10,240
A month later in May of 1977, Warrens were issued charging David Douglas Hill, 34, and

631
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:15,960
Patrick Wayne Kearney, 37, with having murdered John Millay, sawing off his hands, feet and

632
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,800
head and burying what remained of his body.

633
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,720
The mother's quick action was the only real break in the case since the body of Albert

634
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:27,920
Rivera, the first one that became known to be one of the trash bag murderers.

635
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,120
According to investigators, John LeMay was probably the last of a series of young men

636
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,520
murdered by Patrick and David for over a decade.

637
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,520
And David!

638
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,640
That's where we're gonna stop for part one.

639
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,640
It's a two-parter!

640
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,640
And David!

641
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,640
Yeah.

642
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,640
Well, we don't know.

643
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,640
Oh my.

644
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,140
All right.

645
00:37:51,140 --> 00:37:53,240
We're gonna go right into part two.

646
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:55,680
You're gonna get it in a couple days and we're just gonna go ahead and go.
