I think that he should go to trial in Ill so that, Patricia family can see their daughters justice done, And that will give them complete peace.

the only difference between him and ted bundy is he didn't rape them.didn't kidnapped them and dispose of their bodies in remote areas!!! yes he needs to be tried for the 1993 murder...so the family can have closure...they need to also check in other states he was at...all victim's family's need justice for there love ones....he deserves death!!!

@Clevercate....your Analogy is quite scary. Are you a sociopath? You appear to have a lot of, understanding, sympathy, and compassion, for a sociopathic killer....scary. Murder should bring compassion for the wronged, not the guilty. Crazy is as crazy does, as well as weird.....twisted....and sick....figure it out before posting a comment for the world to read...as well as @AllisonHunt.

Also @ AllisonHunt, serial killers do not need motive, they kill because they are psychopaths. And if you are seeking motive, perhaps the motive was rage against women in general, perhaps he was angry and bitter for being repeatedly rejected by women he sought. This was definitely a possibilty with the first two murders since he knew them both personally. If you honestly think that a guy who knew two women that were brutally murdered in the exact same way and was in the vicinity at the time of each murder, then lived within a stones throw from two more, didn't do it, then you are completely naive! Nothing is that coincidental.

He committed the first crime in Illinois in the early 1990's. This was the early days of DNA and forensic science. In hindsight the scene should have been more carefully handled and the U.S. Marshal Service should have been dispatched for this guy when he left the state to avoid charges. What is it about Illinois? The mentality is so slow and apathetic there. This guy displayed all the signs that something was not right. The parents of his first victim had him sitting at their dinner table! He bought them gifts of atonement! And he would have confessed to the girl's father if his family hadn't plucked him out of there. His family probably knew he did it too. He probabaly started out torturing and killing strays or even the family pets. They knew he killed her and just sent him away to kill more. He was a repair man which is always the easiest cover for serial killers to get close and look like they're doing a service removing screen windows. Pure psychopath with a grandiose sense of self. Who knows how many other similar crimes were committed. I hope the boy never committed these crimes in Texas because this kinda of crime only leads to Huntsville's death row.

@AlisonHunt: OUT OF HIS MIND ALISON?????? please he obv. killed these women, and even though they couldn't use thw DNA it was there, so really let's think about it, his DNA found at the scene, was seen outside looking in the direction of one of the victims house! Really you think he's out of his mind? I think he's a narcissistic S.O.B. that was trying to manipulate and lie his way out of this, but guess what??? GUILTY that's right I said it GUILTY!!! AND I HOPE HE GETS THE DEATH PENALTY!!!! Really guys? Ask yourself this?, What if that was my child? I'm Just Saying!!!!!

I would just like to know if there is some special trick to playing this show. I have reset my browser about a dozen times and cleared my cache each time and I still haven't got past the 10 minute mark

There is never a reason for murder for a sociopath. They kill for the God like feeling when they drain the life out of someone. They look at a person who has everything going for them and make a decision to off them. It's just that simple. There is never a why usually only an opportunity to kill that they take. Sociopaths have shark like eyes without anything behind them. They are shallow/hollow people that do not have the ability to empathize with a living thing and it's suffering. They don't care because they can't. It will never be their fault and the only time they feel anything is for themselves.
