He wanted underwear, clothing that he would steal in the neighborhood. He was certainly a peeping Tom, looking through the windows, looking at people, fantasizing about what he could do. He would imagine creating what he called girl traps, where they would be totally helpless. He would have complete control and domination over them. He liked the appearance of bondage, where someone is stuck, someone's in control, someone can't get away.

As he began to age, he then began entering the houses. He felt very powerful. He could get into their home, take something, and get out and not be caught. People were not there, but he would stand in their home. He felt that sense of violation. Someone killed four members of a family, two children and two adults. That was shocking. It just didn't happen here.

You see the victims laying there with plastic bags over their heads, strangled. And then you see children. You see how brutal they were treated. And you could tell it was a planned scenario. There was a script. He went to a local church. He was in charge of the congregation.

He was going to the grocery store with us. He was going to the movies with us. I would have never guessed that. He was the guy next door. I am compelled to kill by Factor X. The same factor that motivated Son of Sam. How many people do I have to kill before I get my name in the paper?
