1:29Hi everyone, my name is Joshua Miles and I'm guessing if you're watching this, then you are a massive true crime enthusiast just like me. For those of you who are in the US, who are average who crime fans, you'll probably have heard about crime-con. Now crime-con is the world's number one true crime event and I am delighted to let you know that crime-con has made the jump across the pond and has arrived in the UK and I do hope that I will get to see all of your lovely faces there. A string of lethal card jacking. Terrorized the Washington DC area. Ballistics reveal that it's the work of a serial killer who tries to run over one victim with his own car. The FBI and police set a clever trap that the killer insists on a file and shootout.

2:46The In the early 90s, a serial killer's stock-loaned victims in the dead of night is hunting ground the suburbs of Washington DC. This target, anyone who owned a car, I'm Jim Kels from Farmer Head of the FBI's New York office. The government was as elusive as he was deadly. He struck quickly and without mercy. Now the FBI must follow the twisted path of a killer wherever it leads. November 13, 1991. Silver Spring Merrill, a suburb north of Washington DC.

3:53Montgomery County Police respond to a report of shots fired at a car dealership. Officers discover the body of a woman shot on a chest and forehead. Call the medical officer. And another gunshot victim nearby. The man is breathing but unconscious. Paramedics rush him to the hospital. Montgomery County homicide detective Ed Day coordinates his department's swift response to the slaying. You saturate the cases fast as you can, work on as fast as you can, get as much information as fast as you can and try to resolve it as fast as you can. Unfortunately, homicide's time is terrible. More time goes by the list your odds are that you're going to have a satisfactory conclusion of the investigation.

4:54Investigators learn the two victims are janitors. They were cleaning the building that night and would have come outside around 10 p.m. to dump the garbage. The detectives work to determine a motive for the attack. You don't overlook the obvious. You have a shooting like this at a car lot. Is that possible motive for the killing? The theft of a car. Of course, that representative from the auto dealer come out doing an inventory. There was no vehicles missing. There was no property missing from the inside of the establishment. Investigators locate the victim's car keys nearby and determine neither of their personal vehicles are missing. Robbery does not seem to be the motive. Nothing was taken. They had money on them. There was a single thing missing.

6:00There's almost no evidence to go on. Detective Day hopes to learn more from the critically wounded man. We do that with all any kind of a shooting that's potentially fatal. There's a rule in law that a dying declaration does not have to be corroborated. It's not hearsay because as a person knows he's going to die, he's assumed to be telling the truth. So if you can get a statement from somebody in really serious circumstances, it's always a very, very powerful piece of evidence. But the victim dies nine days later without ever regaining consciousness. During the autopsy, the medical examiner recovers the only piece of physical evidence. The bullets and killed the victims. At the Maryland State Police Crime Lab,

7:02Ballistics expert Joe Capera examines the evidence to determine if there was more than one shooter. There was a microscopic comparison done to determine if these bullets were fired from the same gun. And indeed as a conclusion to these examinations, I concluded that these bullets were fired from the same gun. Examining the scratch patterns on the bullets, Capera determines the makin' model of the murder weapon. But I was able to ascertain, first of all, the caliber of the gun, which was a 357. And then through the measurements of the unique lead and groove areas, I was able to ascertain that it was a roober 357. With no obvious motive for the slams, detectives explore the victim's personal lives for clueless. If you work inside out, you try to find out if these people had any enemies, if there was any triangle,

8:09a thwarted lover or something like that. These things take you in a hundred different directions and you just have to take care of one thing at a time. You eliminate something and you move on to the next issue and you just go from there. Detectives find nothing in the victim's backgrounds that could have led to their murders. Since investigators found the victim's car keys near the bodies, they decide to re-examine the slams as a failed car theft. With that possible motive in mind, detectives speculate how the crime might have occurred. They were cleaning and the business was closed for the night. They were taking the trash out. Hey! Detectives suspect the gunman demanded the victim's car keys.

9:13The keys. Based on the position of the woman's body relative to her keys, they believe she tried to run. And you have to make the assumption that he lost control of the situation and decided to kill the two of them before he identified what car belonged to them. He escalated an attempt theft in one murder for no good reason. With little evidence to go on, the case grows cold. Then, three months later, investigators respond to the scene of another homicide. They find the body of psychology professor Dr. Shaheen Hastrudi lying in a parking lot in Bethesda, Maryland. Unable to locate her car, detectives believe she was the victim of a fatal car jacking.

10:22Noting the lack of blood spatter evidence near the body, they suspect Hastrudi's assailant shot her while she was still inside her car. Through interviews with her colleagues, authorities determined Dr. Hastrudi left her office around 8 p.m. She's obviously accosted. At some point, it's in her car. Get in her car! Start! Start the car! Start the car! Start the car! When she's already in the car, she's shot. Go! When she's taken out of the car, she's dumped on the lock. And the suspect steals her car. Gunshot went into the end.

11:32Large caliber. No witnesses. The only solid evidence is a pair of bullets recovered from the victim's body. Investigators send the bullets to the Maryland State Police Crime Lab to compare them with the bullets from the double homicide. It is a match. The two crimes are connected. Homicide detectives begin examining unsolved cases involving similar circumstances. One detective recalls a recent homicide which occurred a month before Hastrudi was killed. The person under these guns was arrested. That victim was also shot in head with a large caliber gun. As in the silver spring double homicide, responding officers found the victim's keys near his body.

12:37But this victim didn't own a car which leads investigators to question whether the car theft was the motive or if the case is even connected to the other shootings. But we said, you know, this is looking like there definitely links for some reason. So, Hastrudi's locate the bullet from that case and send it to be tested. The list expert Joe Kupera compares the bullets from the four homicides. I did a cross comparison examination to the previous bullets. And as a result of that examination, I found out that all the bullets were fired from the same weapon. Investigators have connected the four homicides to the ballistic evidence and an apparent car theft motive. But they cannot understand why the killer chose to murder his victims.

13:41None of these people are armed, stature-wise, none of these people I thought were particularly a threat to the suspect. Two possibilities that he lost control of them and felt the best way to regain control in situations to kill them, or there was some psychological reason that he didn't like deep-pindicator people. Detectives believe their dealing with an extremely violent and unpredictable criminal. And suspect he may still be in the area. Montgomery County was his basis of operation. That's where he felt the most comfortable. That's where he did all his murders. That's where he did his, in his most risky business. That's where he laid and wait for people. So it was obvious he had some strong tie to Montgomery County. Investigators suspect he will strike again and hope to stop him before he does. But they have no clues that can help identify him.

14:47And the killer's weapon is the only thing that can connect him to the murders. The best evidence we got is bullets. And if we can get him and get the gun, then we have definitely have a very, very strong case. The authorities don't want to give the killer a reason to destroy his gun and with it their only evidence. So they decide to keep the ballistics match away from the media. If we supply the information to the press that all the bullets came from the same gun, be a good likelihood that he would dispose of the weapon or he would, in worst case scenario, obtain a different weapon and keep committing the crime.

The description of the getaway car matches the vehicle stolen from his truity,

18:00attracting the attention of Montgomery County detectives. But the license plate is not his trudies. Investigators trace the plate and discover it had been stolen from a vehicle in Anandale, Virginia. For detectives, this leaves open the possibility that his trudies car was used in the bank robbery. The Montgomery County Task Force, which now includes agents from the FBI, requests copies of the bank surveillance tapes to learn what they can about the robber. Investigators watch the crime unfold and notice the robber is carrying a revolver of the same make and caliber used in the four homicides. They think he could be the killer. The footage is the best lead they have in identifying a suspect, according to FBI Special Agent Robert

19:01Coffee. We had a great piece of video that actually showed the individual the hand gun that picture was actually put on the news locally and regionally to try to see if we could spark some interest as far as someone identifying them. Investigators also release information that their suspect, the money he stole and the vehicle he was driving may be covered in red dye. The teller managed to slip die packs into the bag of money and a die pack is a device that once it goes through the door of the bank it's electronically activated. There's a time on it that gives a person a little bit of time to get away from the bank and it explodes. It's puring this terrible red dye. It stains, it's very difficult to get off it gets on the money and it can't will not come off the money and it takes a

20:05while to get it off you personally. Five days after the bank robbery police in northern Virginia find an abandoned car bearing the stolen plates reported by the witness. A check of the vehicle identification number proves that it is a strudey's car. The officer peers inside examining the interior. We had the red dye stain center from the die packs from the bank. We had proof positive that it had been used in the bank robbery. Officers impound the vehicle and transport it to the police garage for processing. Technicians find blood stains inside the car and collect samples as evidence. But they do not find anything that can identify the killer.

21:06Lab examiners extract DNA from the blood evidence and compare it to his strudey's. It is a match. Finally, investigators are able to look at the various crimes and understand their suspects overall plans. It's jelled into something that makes a little bit of sense. You went from a situation where you had a whole bunch of motives that really didn't make sense to now a concrete motive. This person is killing people to steal cars to commit bank robbery. Although authorities now understand whether suspect is murdering innocent people, they have no clue who he is. Investigators face the nearly impossible challenge of identifying catching a ruthless gunman before he kills again.

22:09The FBI and Maryland's Montgomery County police are hunting a killer who has already committed four homicides. As well as a bank robbery. Several FBI agents are part of the task force pursuing the gunman, including special agent Robert Coffey. What are the main roles of the FBI? Specifically in this type of a crime is that we work with many different agencies to corral all of the investigators and bring forth the information in one kind of a think tank. This multi-agency approach is an invaluable investigative resource for Montgomery County homicide detective Ed Day. When you start working with multiple jurisdictions on different cases, well the more jurisdictions are involved, the more jurisdictions have an interest, the more assets you can draw from. The task force now understands their suspect's crime pattern.

23:17He steals a person's car at gunpoint, killing his victim, then uses the vehicle in a bank robbery. Investigators continue to look for past unsolved cases that involve a similar pattern. Nothing occurs in a vacuum. Somebody doesn't just start killing people, so that's when we really start doing the research. They identify an incident that occurred in their county almost a year earlier. Our victim was a maintenance man in the Hispanic male. He was accosted by a white male carrying a large calvert, dark handgun. When the masked gunman asked for the victim's car keys, the man claimed he didn't own a car. The suspect demanded a new witch car belonged to him. He was told to turn around and face

24:18away from the suspect. He down his knees and puts him behind his head. Where's your car? Where's your car? Our victim at that time felt quite certain that he was going to be executed. Suspect fired three shots. One of the shots hit him in the forearm. The victim managed to flee down an alley and hide behind a bush and spent some minutes there waiting for the situation to calm down. After 10 minutes, the victim returned to the street and waved down the first car he saw hoping for assistance. To his horror, it was the gunman. The victim's life was spared.

25:19The following day, a witness reported seeing a masked gun leaving the scene of a bank robbery in Centerville, Virginia. The police later found out that the victim was a police officer. The masked gunman leaving the scene of a bank robbery in Centerville, Virginia. The police later recovered the getaway vehicle and determined it was the car stolen from the maintenance man. Investigators examined the evidence gathered at the scene of the carjacking. All they have is a bullet fragment that was lodged in the victim's arm. The listexpert, Joe Capera. One does not necessarily need the whole bullet as long as the fragment that is left that he is examining has enough ballistic evidence on it that he can use. He tests the fragment against the other recovered bullets to determine if that case is connected to their current investigation. The bullet fragment matches, but the task force is still no

26:27closer to identifying their suspect. With little hard evidence, investigators studied the killer's behavior is exhibited through his actions, searching for clues to his identity. The authorities examine the newly linked case and determine he is unusually bold and cocky. The investigators got together and discussed the commitment level of this individual to stay at a crime scene for 10 minutes waiting for a witness to come back, raised our level of concern about the subject himself. He's not in a big hurry. It feels pretty comfortable that the police are going to be there anytime soon. Investigators also believe the suspect has a quick temperate, vengeful personality. He's very upset with his victim. He's decided that he has been

27:32himself wronged in some way and he's going to make him pay for it. But authorities cannot understand why the suspect uses what appears to be an unnecessary level of violence during the car jacking. It does not make sense to kill somebody in the least risky part of the crime. The biggest risk he's taken is when he goes into his banks as far as getting captured, being identified, or running into real obstacles. Taking these people in an innocent people off in the middle of the night and in a ground of his own choosing where he can isolate him, I mean he's safe for that location and he is anywhere else and anything else he does. It just doesn't make sense why he chose to kill these people. Your suspect is not only dangerously disturbed but also clever. One of the more interesting parts of the M.O. that this individual used was the number of

28:36jurisdictions through which he perpetrated his crimes. He exploits the fact that no single police department can readily see his entire crime pattern. We have a car jacking in one jurisdiction. We have a stolen tag from a second jurisdiction. We have a bank robbery in a third jurisdiction and then we have the car abandoned in a fourth jurisdiction. The gunman's efforts to stimey police do not stop there. Each time he abandons a stolen car, he leaves it unlocked with the keys in plain view. One of the difficult parts of recovering the vehicles following the robberies is that they were being driven by other people. By leaving the vehicle with the keys in it, the vehicles were then subsequently restoned, leaving the vehicles to be restoned, destroyed whatever forensic evidence would have been left behind.

29:37So the only thing we had to match all of the crimes was the forensic evidence from the ballistics. Investigators continue to look for additional unsolved car jackings in which the vehicle was later used in a bank robbery. They identify a case that occurred within miles of the other thefts. A woman was walking out of a doctor's office and realized that she was being followed. She turned to try to go back to the doctor's office but was confronted by the individual and then asked for her keys. They walked over to the car.

30:41Stop the car. Stop the car. Stop the car. Stop the car. Stop the car. I want him to start her car. And upon starting the vehicle, had her get out and kneel down next to a wall. All in your knees. Upon kneeling down, he had her wait there for a short period of time. She described this 30 or 40 seconds past. You have to wonder how much that time did he spend thinking about whether or not he was going to shoot her. She was very compliant and everything she was told to do right when she was told to do it. That might have saved her. The next day, her vehicle was used in a bank robbery. The investigators wonder why their suspect allowed this woman to live, yet killed the others.

31:41They come up with several theories. The fact that she was a Caucasian female might have had something to do with it. He might have had harvests some malice towards Hispanic people or foreign people or it could be something simple about he lost control and those situations. In fact, the best way to get control was to kill them. The task force has little to work with but is determined to go on the offensive. Now we're trying to figure out how can we get ahead of him. How can we be in a position where we can be waiting for him when he does something, or we can be prepared to mobilize very quickly with the resources necessary to get him. The investigators focus on the one aspect of the suspect's crime pattern that they can anticipate. We could not predict when a car jacket would take place there were two random.

32:41We did, however, know that following the car jacket, we would have a bank robbery. If authorities can only predict which banks he will rob or where he will be traveling, they might have a chance to catch him.

33:54Hi, this is Dave Roberts. Heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, that's a risk. Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything. That's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit. It includes doctor-prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick, at home or on the road, you already have what you need. It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home. Say $45 with cold blue at urgentcarekit.com slash blue urgentcarekit.com slash blue. A massive gunman strikes again and again in suburban Maryland just north of the nation's capital. He shoots his victims while stealing their cars. Which he later uses to rob banks.

34:57In the spring of 1992, the FBI and Montgomery County police analyzed their suspects habits in hopes of treading it. Homicide detective Ed Day. We had people take aerial photographs of every crime scene and the different escape routes and things of that nature. Trying to find some logical pattern to what he was doing. Something that would maybe give us a clue. What are consistencies? What are inconsistencies? Is there anything like that that we can use to our advantage to foretell what he might do next? On the surface, the list of crime scenes appears random. But a closer look by investigators reveals all the banks he robbed share a single trait. Everywhere he went, he had access to a major roadway. They would take him pretty quickly to a thoroughfare like $4.95 or $2.70 or something like that.

35:59The task force shifts their focus from predicting where the suspect will strike next to catching him when he makes his escape after a bank robbery. They decide they will cast a dragnet on all highway exit ramps in the area. FBI Special Agent Robert Coffee. We developed a plan where we would cast a net using all of the jurisdictions law enforcement within the Washington area to where once the bank robbery were to take place, he would have to pass through some points of the net. Meeting with officers from every police department in the area, the task force details their plan. A couple incidents reports to the murders and I'm going to pass them out. They will watch for any carjacking reports resembling their suspects M.O. Officers from each jurisdiction will then prepare for a quick response if a bank is subsequently robbed.

37:02They will immediately stake out pre-assigned highway exit ramps targeting the stolen car. There was enough support at each particular location that he could be followed. We could bring the bear enough additional manpower to make a stop of our choosing and of course affecting the rest if we were lucky enough to spot him. Ready to cast their net. Investigators wait for the suspect to steal a car. At 5 a.m. each morning, special agent Coffee begins his day by revealing the reports of all the area car thefts from the night before. He looks for the one that matches their suspects M.O. If the suspect stole a car, the task force needs to identify it before banks open at nine.

38:02But months pass with no sign of their suspect. Investigators begin to worry that the killer is one underground and may never be caught. We assume he's obviously stressed at this particular point. He's feeling the heat of the notoriety of what he's done. October 9th 1992. Special agent Coffee. Eight months after the killer's most recent slay, I get notification from our Baltimore agents that another car jacking has taken place. We've got a white male with a ski mask, latex gloves and a handgun. It's taken place all the way up in Baltimore. At approximately 7 a.m., a 15-year-old girl walked to her mother's car. Suddenly, an armed man approached her and demanded the keys. The police officers heard this and came to her aid.

39:15The police officers heard this and came to her aid. It was an exchange of gunfire. The car jacker took her vehicle and fled the scene. We were feeling very good because we had very fresh information and we knew he was on the move and he was in Baltimore and more than likely on the way back here. The task force determines there is no need to wait for a bank robbery.

40:20Based on that information, the task force casts the net around the Washington Metro area hoping that he's going to come back through that net. Patrolman and SWAT units from jurisdictions throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia have three arranged locations on freeway exit ramps to watch for the stolen car. Since police cannot be sure of the suspect's head time to switch the license plates, they pull over every vehicle matching its description. Each time they know they may face a shooter who has already taken four lives. The FBI and police departments throughout the Washington, DC, air, and hunt a suspected killer.

41:20They stop every vehicle matching the description of the one they believe he stole an hour earlier. Police pull over dozens of cars that come up empty. As the search continues, 50 miles away in western Maryland, Brunswick police officer Gary Klein is on routine patrol. I observed a small black and colored passenger vehicle. I saw that there was no front lights in plate on it. As the vehicle passed me, I looked at everyone observing the driver had an island stopping pulled down at his face. Kind of shocked me and I was not really sure what's going on here, but kind of drew my attention real quick. The turn round caught back up to the car. Radioed my dispatchers and the 911 center requested information on the tag.

42:24And the subject in the small black car sped off the window there before me. Then I'm informed by our dispatchers that this subject is wanted for shooting at a Baltimore City officer. The hundreds of officers mobilized in the DC area are too far away to assist. Officer Klein is alone against a ruthless killer. The adrenaline's pumping now because I'm pursuing this vehicle. Knowing somewhere in there, I'm going to have to confront this individual. The speeds that we maintain in some places were 90 m² to a little over 100 m². Officer Klein chases the suspect from Maryland into Virginia. He was very intent on getting away from it. This match you were getting any control? You were in interstate 71. He just went straight down to Mill the bridge just forcing people east and westbound out of his way.

43:28I had to back off because I didn't want to engage in my stuff. Where the innocent people or citizens out on the street, where he was actually able to gain a good bit of distance on me. But once the redway cleared up a little bit where I could safely get through the vehicle, I was able to catch back up to him. The client pursues the suspect into West Virginia. Made a right off route 340 m². He went down this small asphalt road and when he hit that he was going too fast with the rain and everything and lost control and struck the curb. I stepped out of the vehicle with my weapon drawn. I saw him kind of leaning over in the car towards the passenger seat and I saw the gun come up in.

Officer Klein is concerned about firing his gun in a public place. When you discharge your weapon, you just don't want to run around just going out there somewhere and you could strike somebody innocent. You have a split second to make this decision and whatever decision you make can affect you for the rest of your life.

46:43At that point, he placed the car in reverse and sped backwards quickly towards my cruiser and what I believe was an attempt to ram my car or strike me. He proceeded down a small access route. And I receded after him. He sped into the small dead end dirt gravel area and he tried to go behind this bulldozer and wrecked into it. There's nowhere for him to go and now I have to confroney. At that time, I see the gun coming up, which just kind of made my heart jump out of my chest. While the suspect ducks recover, Officer Klein strategically moves to his right. You don't want to stay in one position, especially after he already knows where you're at.

47:44Klein's tactic works. The suspect fires of the position where Klein used to be. I actually fired more shots at him as he ran to get to the backside of his car for cover. With backup units still minutes away, the lone officer fights to stay alive in a violent face-off with a vicious killer. The suspected killer is in desperate shootout in a proper ferry west Virginia with lone police officer Gary Klein. I seem to start to come up from behind his car through the passenger side window with the gun raised and he's coming up. I remember from fire and adding and striking the car and he ducked down behind the car again. Several seconds passed, he raises back up.

48:47You can hear it. The actual sound of the bullets striking the car, the metal, and he ducks back down behind the car again. And finally, backup arrives. When they put their hand on my shoulder and I knew who they were, it was this big relief. Burton was lifted off my shoulders because now I knew I had fellow officers there. Within the next 10 minutes, police officers from several jurisdictions were on the scene. The gunman realizes he is outnumbered. Then the suspect stood up and walked out in front of myself and my crews were probably about 15 yards and put the gun to his head. And I continued the yellow eye and dropped the gun to throw the gun on the ground. At which time he told me he wouldn't do that.

49:49West Virginia state police corporal John Jeffries begins negotiating with the gunman. After several minutes of negotiation, the suspect then pulled the mallon stalking up on the top of his head. Still wasn't able to really get a good clear look at him. The suspect begins to talk. He says he's an unemployed house painter. He said that he was just upset. He had had some relation problems with his girlfriend. But he had done some things he wasn't really happy about and just all these things had powered up and just troubled him. And he didn't know why he was doing the things he was doing. After a 45 minute standoff, the gunman makes an unusual demand. I remember him saying he wanted to talk to his mother.

50:50So he gave his mother's name and phone number. Several tense minutes passed as police attempted to reach the suspect's mother. He advised the suspect that they had his mother on the phone. The woman on the line asks the negotiator for the suspect's name. He identifies himself as Alan Newman. He wasn't really sure the police, if we were just lying to him or what we were doing. He said, well, ask my mom what my favorite cookie is. I remember Corporal Jeffrey saying, your mom said your favorite cookie is chocolate chip. And he started crying. It really shocked me because I thought he was just going to drop the gun and give up. You see the hammer coming back and everything's like slow motion.

51:52You see the hammer drop. You're waiting for the gun to go off. And it didn't. Seizing the opportunity. Officers rush in and subdue the gunman, ending the standoff. After it was all over and done, very relieved. Very appreciative of all the guys that were there that day. I was able to help to get this person off the street and putting more he needed to be so that nobody else would be heard. Police take Alan Newman into custody and confiscate his Ruger 357 as evidence. It is the same model used in the murders, according to FBI Special Agent Robert Coffey. From the prior ballistics, we knew what type of gun it would be. It would have been a specific Ruger make. And in fact, that's what he was carrying. The same types of bullets that were used in the shootings and the homicides were in fact still in the weapon.

53:00After nearly a year of hard work, investigators finally meet the killer face to face. We no longer have someone running throughout the counties killing people for cars. We were very excited about getting a chance to talk to the individual to find out why. While Newman admits to the Baltimore car jacking, he refuses to admit to any of the murders, according to homicide detective Ed Day. Throughout the interview process, he remained pretty cocky and he thought it was pretty cool. Investigators continue to press Newman. While at a firearms laboratory, a ballistics expert fires Newman's gun into an 800 gallon tank of water. The examiner compares the unique markings on the fired bullet to those on the bullets recovered from the four murders and the attempted homicide.

54:07The listx expert Joe Capera. It is a scientific certainty that this is the firearm that fired these bullets. And no other firearm could possibly do that. After hours of interrogation, investigators receive the ballistics report. That's like the magic piece of evidence. So that's the one that you really knew would seal the whole case. We had physical undeniable evidence that we could put in front of a jury that he could not refute in any way shaped or form. We could convict him without much trouble and we could have gotten the death sentence with the information that we had, which put it over the top and he decided it would best to make a deal for life rather than take the chance on being executed.

55:15Allen Newman pleads guilty to all the charges against him and his sentence to five life terms without parole plus 100 years for handgun violations. Looking back, it was the collective efforts of more than a dozen police agencies contributing interviews and evidence that led to the successful conclusion of this case. The accomplishment for all police officers and all investigators is to arrest a bad guy and put him in jail. And when you do that, you get a nice warm feeling for about 10 minutes until the next case comes in and you have to start all over again. But for now, every investigator who worked this case is content to know they have ended one man's vile of rampage.
