Theres no way his ( l.i.s.k) wife didnt know anything about the murders.He is taking the whole weight for sure.
Ted Bundy lives again…?…no way…..remember it is the death penalty for reason ..get to it
even though the calls were sick that’s ultimately the nail , otherwise he coulda just been another customer but how do you explain your real phone in the same place as the girls phones were every single call ? no way to explain that
Mark 7:21
These families will finally get justice and i hope they finally have peace. But why no one talking about this poor baby that was found too?
Independent women when find out world is not as safe as they thought
Oh how i wish reporters could get the tense of 'pled' correct… it's he 'pled' quilty…not 'pleaded.


Item #6, #9, and #10 ( 8:15 ) lead me to believe the wife agreed to other women because she was sick of the one having to go through it with him, and he was most likely starting to go too far.
Frankly, it is obvious this man doesn’t deserve to be behind a mic. His coworkers showed their disdain and his rambling in a serious investigation is absurd.
I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I suspect that he's guilty.
Is the hair DNA an exact match?
So he killed only when his family was away?
Most shocking detail is how law enforcement could have solved this case much sooner but was totally screwed up.
It seems like this is a son of Sam kind of situation. The police are going to state that it was just this man and they solved it and they are the best police force yada yada. I believe there more to be high ranking and or wealthy individuals that are involved in this. Don't get me wrong this guy definitely had something to do with it
I'm so glad he's not 80 years old when he got caught
For these violent psychopaths, let’s bring back the Oubliette for the duration of their remaining life. Immediate death is too light of a sentence.
Man our youths are complete idiots these days
Very hard and painful to understand drepravity to this extent. Scary.
Police detectives have to be commended for solving this case so proactively after no victims for 10 years. That is incredible police work
The way he sounds and talks.
His wife's hair on Victims has to be horrific for his wife (of course including everything else, but this especially so). The sheer and utter anguish I feel for his victims, and their families, and HIS family and acquaintances!! What a complete wanker!!
If the murders supposedly ended in 2010 I wonder where his next killing ground was between 2010 and 2023?
The way he talk and act reminds of Donald Trump
They have this guy smoked… Is between him and the Lord now
It's crazy how often these guys have wives, careers and normal lives….I have none of those things, but have never killed anyone and don't even want too.
This guy must have read about the serial killer Albert Fish. He killed kids then sent their grieving parents sick letters, often for years.
When he was electrocuted the chair kept shorting out. Postmortem of his corpse revealed that he'd pushed dozens of metal pins and tacks into perineum (taint).
He had so much metal in him that was affecting the effectiveness of the electric chair.
The coroner estimated that many of the metal spikes had been inside him for years or even decades.
I got a good question why wasn’t he arrested years ago?
I know for sure if my partner had a secret room with a lock on it with 3 foot cement walls I’d be figuring out how to get in there even if he said don’t go in there, so why would you not be curious and want to check that out
I hope you all will leave his wife alone. For obvious reasons
The guy is a narcissist. They often are. And it doesn't help that some idiots romanticize serial killers and treat sites (of interest to police) as tourist attractions.
Schabusiness is topping out old Rex in the dark humor poll I seen … Cmon , this is way more intriguing …
Lock him up up and don’t let him out.
I knew they would find him at some point. What a scumbag. Does anyone know if he killed that mother and her toddler that they found? I assume so. Anyone know why he chose that beach,? He had to know they'd be discovered. I bet Netflix is already making a documentary on this!! I'm glad the families got answers though.
Somehow when I hear the allegedly serial killer talk he reminds me of a former president?
Investigators got him out of community finally. Damaged so many people lives selfish sick price. Hope he gets the death penalty.
I’m addicted to this channel and Mysterious Radio podcast. I literally listen 24/7 to either one.
So they brought him to a grand jury because he was looking up the case, people NEVER BELIEV WHAT YOUR HEAR AND ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU DO??
I'm so glad the last gentleman said the case isn't over and the other victims are still being investigated. That guy wasn't the only one dumping bodies there. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a sort of ritualistic cult thing going on. Too many people of the occult in Long Island.
What I do not understand is that after he murdered Melissa Barthelamy and he took her cellphone then started calling her sister to torture her why in the world did the police not get him then???? They had a definite trace with the cell phone and could have followed the calls.
They had their chance then and they blew it.
So glad this terrible cold case has been heated up! So sorry Mari Gilbert isn't alive to see this freak captured.
demon & evil does not exist..neither ghosts or spirits…
to all the sick people out there planning to go out there & taking peoples lives you better think really hard just look how these investigators quietly did this & caught this guy quietly I suspect many others will be caught like this
I’m glad they caught him. It’s pretty concerning it took the authorities several years to arrest him, when they suspected him for a long time. I hope he didn’t kill anyone while they were investigating him. Been following this case for a while and it’s good to know he’s been identified.
He reminds me of Trump a lot…
He should have eaten the pizza box Too
He is horrendous but kudos to those cops for all that evidence gathering. As awful as I find him, I also find all the forensic evidence fascinating. Amazing work.
