Introducing Mind of a Monster: The Hollywood Ripper

I'm criminal psychologist Dr. Michelle Ward, and this is season nine of Mind of a Monster,

the Hollywood Ripper. This guy is manipulating people either charms them because he needs them to

do something or he stalks them because he's going to kill them. I don't think he is aroused by

the women. I think he's aroused by the kill. I open the door and she is on the landing covered in

blood and blue in the face. Under the shimmering lights of Hollywood in the 2000s,

Michael Garjulo stalked his female neighbors, watching and waiting for the perfect time to strike.

He stabbed two women to death and tried to kill a third in acts of unspeakable brutality.

She was stabbed and I mean blitchard almost 50 times in her throat was cut.

The attack on her was so vicious, so callous, that it almost like it was like a personal thing.

He's so confident that she's not going to scream. He's so confident in his ability to brutally

murder somebody. The jury was shown the photos from her apartment and it was just covered in blood.

What drove Michael Garjulo's rage-filled attacks? For a first for me on the Mind of a Monster

series, I'm investigating a serial case that as of today isn't over. He's a waiting trial for another

murder. These killings in Los Angeles wouldn't have happened if he was in prison in Illinois.
