|
| 00:00:02 | I will always remember that face
at that door-- very evil face.
|
| 00:00:10 | He says, "i'm in the shower.
|
| 00:00:18 | "
and I told him, "okay, you've
got ten seconds.
|
| 00:00:20 | Open this door.
|
| 00:00:20 | "
finally I kicked the door in.
|
| 00:00:24 | The image will be with me
forever.
|
| 00:00:27 | We could see in the kitchen that
there was a body on the floor, a
lot of blood.
|
| 00:00:36 | They say a picture says a
thousand words, and the image of
those little white mary janes on
the floor with that metal bar
they used to strangle her, and
the puddle of blood, it just
looks like too much blood to
come out of a tiny little eight-
year-old like that.
|
| 00:00:51 | We determined that she was dead.
|
| 00:00:53 | We started searching the
residence, and there was a lot
photograph equipment, and all of
us were amazed at the amount of
photographs he had there of
young girls, very young girls.
|
| 00:01:04 | WE FOUND A LOT OF I.D.s, A
of a rodney alcala,
he was a student at u.c.l.a.

he ever turned up on the radar
for law enforcement.

homicide unit.
|
| 00:01:30 | Ala managed to give
them the slip.
|
| 00:01:33 | >> As things would have it, we
were always 15 minutes behind
him.
|
| 00:01:34 | >> All the emphasis went on
"where is he?
|
| 00:01:35 | "
and we kept coming up empty.

you the story of rodney alcala,
which, sadly is the last story
reported by the late harold dow.
|
| 00:04:12 | Harold was a "48 hours"
correspondent for 22 years, as
long as "48 hours" has been on
television.
|
| 00:04:20 | His passion and his generous
spirit are deeply woven into the
fabric of this broadcast.
|
| 00:04:28 | I'm jay dow, a correspondent for
wcbs in new york and a
contributing correspondent for
cbs news.
|
| 00:04:34 | Harold was my uncle, my friend
and my colleague.
|
| 00:04:39 | He had spent more than a year
working on this story, and was
just finishing it when he died
suddenly last month.
|
| 00:04:45 | He was determined to bring this
intricate tale to our viewers.
|
| 00:04:50 | So tonight, for the last time,
"48 hours" presents harold dow.
|
| 00:05:09 | >> You could tell that she had
been raped.
|
| 00:05:11 | There was no breathing.
|
| 00:05:13 | I thought she was dead.
|
| 00:05:14 | We all thought she was dead.
|
| 00:05:16 | >> Harold Dow: Los angeles
police officer chris camacho
found eight-year-old tali
shapiro battered and bleeding,
her throat constricted by a ten-
pound steel bar on that
september morning in 1968.
|
| 00:05:31 | >> So I grabbed a towel and i
picked up the edge of the bar,
and I laid it off to the side.
|
| 00:05:37 | >> Harold Dow: Camacho then left
tali's side to continue
searching the house for her
attacker.
|
| 00:05:42 | Moments later, when he walked
back into the kitchen, he
witnessed a miracle.
|
| 00:05:48 | >> She was gagging and trying to
breathe, and I thought, "one for
the good guys.
|
| 00:05:52 | "
>> Harold Dow: Clinging to life,
tali was rushed to the hospital.
|
| 00:05:59 | >> Had it not been for that
police officer, tali shapiro
would have died on rodney
alcala's kitchen floor.
|
| 00:06:05 | >> Harold Dow: The suspect, 25-
graduate
rodney alcala, had slipped
through the officers' fingers.
|
| 00:06:13 | >> When I kicked in the front
door, the other officers came
running around to assist me, and
the suspect went out the back
door.
|
| 00:06:20 | >> Harold Dow: But to camacho,
all that mattered was saving
tali.
|
| 00:06:25 | >> When I was in vietnam, when
we were in combat, I tried to
..
|
| 00:06:32 | I didn't do it.
|
| 00:06:33 | He died.
|
| 00:06:36 | So with tali, it was kind of
like god gave me a second chance
to save someone.
|
| 00:06:41 | >> Harold Dow: Soon after tali
healed, her parents moved her
out of the country.
|
| 00:06:46 | >> I found out that they had
moved to mexico, that they did
not want to raise their daughter
in this society any longer, and
that was the last I heard of
em.
|
| 00:06:58 | >> Harold Dow: The investigation
was now in the hands of
detectives.
|
| 00:07:02 | With alcala in the wind,
detective steve hodle was
grasping at thin air.
|
| 00:07:09 | >> A kinds of rumors-- he's
going down to mexico, he's gone
to canada, he'd gone to europe.
|
| 00:07:12 | But we kept coming up empty.
|
| 00:07:15 | Back then, you know, we didn't
have a lot of the forensics you
have today.
|
| 00:07:18 | >> Harold Dow: Complicating
matters, it seemed no one was
willing to believe the gifted
student could be responsible for
such a heinous crime.
|
| 00:07:27 | >> He was a snake charmer.
|
| 00:07:28 | I went and talked to his
professor at u.c.l.a.
|
| 00:07:31 | He says "he wouldn't harm a
"
he truly believed that, you
know, and a lot of people did.
|
| 00:07:36 | ,
you know.
|
| 00:07:39 | We said, "this guy is going to
commit other crimes.
|
| 00:07:40 | "
>> Harold Dow: In 1969, the
put rodney alcala on its
most wanted list.
|
| 00:07:47 | >> We've got to find this guy.
|
| 00:07:48 | We've got to get him off the
streets.
|
| 00:07:49 | We've got to bring him to
justice.
|
| 00:07:52 | >> Harold Dow: Nearly two years
later came the break they'd been
waiting for.
|
| 00:07:56 | Orange county deputy district
attorney mat murphy:
>> Two girls went to their local
post office, and they looked and
there was rodney alcala's photo
ten most wanted
list.
|
| 00:08:07 | And they looked up and said,
"oh, my gosh, that's mr.
|
| 00:08:08 | "
>> Harold Dow: The girls knew
alcala as john burger, their
counselor at an all-girls'
summer camp in new hampshire.
|
| 00:08:19 | >> They reported to the dean.
|
| 00:08:21 | He calls the authorities.
|
| 00:08:23 | They arrest him, take him into
custody.
|
| 00:08:25 | I get a phone call from the
saying, "we've got your
man in custody.
|
| 00:08:29 | "
>> Harold Dow: In fact, rodney
alcala had been hiding in plain
sight for the last three years.
|
| 00:08:39 | >> Rodney alcala, after raping
and almost killing tali shapiro,
he fled to new york.
|
| 00:08:43 | He made friends.
|
| 00:08:44 | He charmed people.
|
| 00:08:48 | film school,
and he was living the life, kind
of the bohemian lifestyle of the
FILM STUDENT IN THE EARLY '70s.
|
| 00:08:55 | >> Harold Dow: In august, 1971,
with alcala finally in custody,
detective hodle had a chance to
speak to him.
|
| 00:09:03 | >> I asked him, "so tell me
about the tali shapiro
"
and basically he says, "oh, i
want to forget all about that.
|
| 00:09:12 | I don't want to talk about
things that rod alcala did," as
if it was a different person.
|
| 00:09:19 | >> Harold Dow: But with tali
living abroad and unavailable
for trial, prosecutors had no
choice but to enter into a plea
agreement.
|
| 00:09:27 | >> Part of the problem with the
prosecution back then is that
tali shapiro's family had
relocated down to mexico, so i
think that created some
logistical problems for the d.a.
|
| 00:09:34 | Back then.
|
| 00:09:36 | >> Harold Dow: In 1972, rodney
alcala pleaded guilty to a
lesser charge of child
molestation.
|
| 00:09:44 | >> He ultimately was convicted
of child molesting.
|
| 00:09:49 | He received one year to life
back in the old indeterminate
sentencing laws, one year to
life, and the parole board let
him go after 34 months, after
what he did to tali shapiro.
|
| 00:09:57 | >> Harold Dow: Indeterminate
sentencing meant a parole board,
not a judge, would determine how
much time an inmate spent in
prison.
|
| 00:10:05 | >> The emphasis was on
rehabilitation back then, and he
was able to charm the
psychiatrist just like he
charmed his victims.
|
| 00:10:15 | I mean, this guy should have
never been released based on the
crime itself.
|
| 00:10:18 | >> Harold Dow: But less than
three years later, rodney alcala
was a free man again.
|
| 00:10:25 | .. I was flabbergasted, to
say the least.
|
| 00:10:27 | It just amazed me.
|
| 00:10:29 | >> Harold Dow: And alcala had no
trouble charming his way back
into the swing of things.
|
| 00:10:35 | >> He was hired by the "los
angeles times" to work as a
typesetter.
|
| 00:10:39 | He took photos at weddings, and
he was a registered sex offender
during all of that, and nobody
ever checked.
|
| 00:10:46 | >> Harold Dow: We understand
that rodney alcala was actually
"
>> that's right.
|
| 00:10:55 | >> Please welcome rodney alcala.
|
| 00:10:56 | >> Harold Dow: And he was
chosen.
|
| 00:10:57 | >> That's right.
|
| 00:10:58 | >> Well, I like bananas, so I'll
take one.
|
| 00:10:59 | >> Number one!
|
| 00:11:00 | Bachelor number one!
|
| 00:11:01 | All right!
|
| 00:11:04 | >> Harold Dow: But the decision
to release rodney alcala would
have catastrophic consequences.
|
| 00:11:09 | >> His thrill is seeking his
prey, capturing, torturing.
|
| 00:11:14 | He's a sadist of the highest
order.
|
| 00:11:17 | What he learned in prison was,
"i'm not going to let my victims
"
>> say hello to rodney alcala.

of 1979 in southern california,
and the disco era was in full
swing.
|
| 00:15:53 | But in huntington beach, 12-
year-old robin samsoe enjoyed
far simpler pleasures.
|
| 00:16:00 | .. to have
fun.
|
| 00:16:03 | >> Harold Dow: Bridget wilvurt
was robin's best friend.
|
| 00:16:06 | >> Everybody could be
complaining about being bored,
and me and robin would find
ourselves doing cartwheels and
back walkovers.
|
| 00:16:16 | >> Harold Dow: The other love of
robin's life was her mom,
marianne.
|
| 00:16:21 | >> She was probably the most
loving child a mother could
have.
|
| 00:16:25 | Everything she did, she did to
please me.
|
| 00:16:35 | I loved her warmth.
|
| 00:16:36 | >> Harold Dow: And she was the
little sister older brothers
robert and tim doted on.
|
| 00:16:39 | >> She loved ballet.
|
| 00:16:40 | She loved dancing.
|
| 00:16:41 | She loved gymnastics.
|
| 00:16:42 | >> She was the glue to the
family.
|
| 00:16:45 | >> She was my best friend.
|
| 00:16:50 | >> Harold Dow: On june 20, 1979,
robin was going to start her
first day of work, answering
phones at the ballet studio in
exchange for lessons.
|
| 00:16:59 | But first, she planned to play
for a few hours with bridget.
|
| 00:17:04 | >> She arrived at my house at
.. gosh, I want to say
11:00.
|
| 00:17:08 | How much fun can we have during
that time?
|
| 00:17:12 | And then I had a great idea:
Let's go down to the beach and
have a cartwheel competition.
|
| 00:17:19 | >> Harold Dow: Shortly before
00 the girls left bridget's
apartment and headed across the
pacific coast highway to the
beach.
|
| 00:17:30 | >> I could definitely see a
gentleman with dark hair.
|
| 00:17:37 | .. he honed in on us
.. really like a shark in
the water honing in on a seal.
|
| 00:17:43 | And he goes, "can I take your
girls' pictures?
|
| 00:17:48 | I'm in a photography class, or
"
"
and all of a sudden, out of
nowhere pops up jackie young, my
neighbor.
|
| 00:18:03 | You know, she goes, "bridget, is
everything okay?
|
| 00:18:05 | "
.. he took that
camera, turned his head down,
and you could almost see, like,
smoke coming off his dress
shoes.
|
| 00:18:20 | .. he was gone.
|
| 00:18:21 | >> Harold Dow: Shaken, robin and
bridget turned to go back home.
|
| 00:18:26 | >> And robin had put everything
into her bag, and she's like,
"
I go, "take my bike.
|
| 00:18:38 | Take my bike.
|
| 00:18:39 | It's right downstairs.
|
| 00:18:42 | "
>> Harold Dow: That was the last
time anyone saw robin.
|
| 00:18:52 | >> She was supposed to be home
4:30, 5:00 from her lesson.
|
| 00:18:57 | >> Harold Dow: When her ballet
teacher called to say she hadn't
made it to class, her family
immediately called 911.
|
| 00:19:07 | >> We spent the next-- I did,
anyway-- hours and hours riding
up and down the path.
|
| 00:19:14 | >> Harold Dow: On your bicycle?
|
| 00:19:15 | >> Uh-huh.
|
| 00:19:16 | >> Harold Dow: Looking for your
sister.
|
| 00:19:18 | >> For hours and hours.
|
| 00:19:19 | >> Harold Dow: The hours turned
into days.
|
| 00:19:23 | Robin's mother feared the worst.
|
| 00:19:26 | >> It was probably the most
horrifying time of all, not
knowing.
|
| 00:19:31 | >> Harold Dow: Police
continually questioned the one
person they thought might know
her
best friend, bridget.
|
| 00:19:42 | .. I said... I go, "it
was the man, that man that took
"
I really was the only person
that could tell you the exact
color of his eyes, the height of
his cheekbones, the color of his
skin, just every detail.
|
| 00:20:03 | >> Harold Dow: On july 2, 12
days after robin last said
goodbye to her friend and rode
off on her bike, detectives
delivered the news no one wanted
to hear.
|
| 00:20:14 | >> They said, "let's go see
"
"
I said, "that's my baby.
|
| 00:20:22 | Of course I want to see her.
|
| 00:20:22 | "
they said, "because it took us
"
>> I said, "what's wrong with
you people?
|
| 00:20:33 | How many little girls with long
"
the tears were coming down his
face too, and he said, "there
"
>> this was pretty much the
exact spot where robin samsoe's
remains were located.
|
| 00:20:46 | >> Harold Dow: A fire crew
conducting routine fire-
prevention maintenance found
robin's remains in a remote
location more than 40 miles from
where she was last seen.
|
| 00:20:57 | matt murphy
has visited the site many times.
|
| 00:21:02 | >> And there were 12 days for
the animals to scavenge robin's
remains.
|
| 00:21:07 | By the time the fire crew
actually found her body, she was
just bones.
|
| 00:21:12 | >> Harold Dow: The pressure was
on to find the killer.
|
| 00:21:16 | Bridget's description resulted
in this composite sketch, which
was released to the media all
over southern california.
|
| 00:21:25 | >> His parole officer saw that
and called the detectives and
said, "look, there's a guy that
used to be on my case load.
|
| 00:21:38 | You really need to take a look
at him.
|
| 00:21:39 | "
>> Harold Dow: It had been
nearly 11 years since alcala had
left eight-year-old tali shapiro
for dead and almost gotten away
with it.
|
| 00:21:46 | But alcala was easy to find this
time.
|
| 00:21:49 | He lived with his parents in
monterey park, a stone's throw
from the mountains where robin's
remains were located.
|
| 00:21:58 | >> Rodney alcala is a
intelligent, well-mannered,
pleasant, fun, outgoing, great
individual.
|
| 00:22:07 | >> Harold Dow: Beth kelleher was
alcala's girlfriend at the time.
|
| 00:22:10 | Were you in love with him?
|
| 00:22:11 | >> Yeah.
|
| 00:22:14 | >> Harold Dow: Beth was 22 when
she met alcala in the spring of
1979.
|
| 00:22:20 | They shared a common interest,
photography.
|
| 00:22:22 | What did you think of his
photography work?
|
| 00:22:25 | >> I saw a lot of pictures of
girls, although that didn't
bother me at all.
|
| 00:22:31 | >> Harold Dow: Young girls?
|
| 00:22:32 | >> Uh, young girls.
|

account for his whereabouts on
june 20.

added to his record.

alcala, what does that name mean
to you today?
|
| 00:29:34 | >> It means evil.
|
| 00:29:37 | It means horror.
|
| 00:29:41 | It meaanger.
|
| 00:29:47 | >> Harold Dow: Robin samsoe's
mother, marianne, was convinced
rodney alcala had murdered her
12-year-old daughter as soon as
he was arrested in july 1979.
|
| 00:29:53 | So were the huntington beach
police.
|
| 00:29:57 | >> We're going to treat this as
a homicide now, and he becomes a
prime suspect.
|
| 00:30:01 | >> Every one of those detectives
was sure that they had the right
guy.
|
| 00:30:04 | >> Harold Dow: But behind the
scenes, investigators were
working feverishly to shore up
what they knew was a shaky case
against alcala.
|
| 00:30:13 | >> They conducted an interview.
|
| 00:30:14 | They asked him, you know, "you
ever go to the beach and take
"
and he said, well, from time to
time, he would do that.
|
| 00:30:21 | And they said, "any pictures of
"
and rodney alcala kind of looked
up and he said, "not that i
"
>> Harold Dow: And alcala said
he wasn't the curly-haired
photographer bridget had
described.
|
| 00:30:32 | >> He essentially told police he
hadn't been to huntington beach
at
ellis said huntington beach
police got an unexpected tip
when alcala's sister came to
visit her brother in jail.
|
| 00:30:45 | The conversation was being
recorded.
|
| 00:30:56 | >> One point he mentioned him
having a storage locker in
seattle, washington, that the
cops don't know about.
|
| 00:30:59 | "they don't know
about this, so do me a favor--
get stuff out of there.
|
| 00:31:02 | "
>> Harold Dow: What alcala
didn't know was that police had
found a receipt for the locker
during a search of his home at
the time of his arrest.
|
| 00:31:11 | >> They beat her there.
|
| 00:31:12 | They get inside, and there's the
mother lode.
|
| 00:31:15 | >> Harold Dow: Inside the
locker, a cache of photos.
|
| 00:31:18 | >> Hundreds, if not thousands,
of these different images.
|
| 00:31:25 | There are dozens upon dozens of
these young women that in the
pictures clearly are in
positions of supreme
vulnerability.
|
| 00:31:30 | >> Harold Dow: Police learned
alcala had rented the storage
facility and moved his
belongings there nine days after
robin samsoe's remains were
discovered, so they wondered
what he could be hiding.
|
| 00:31:42 | They found no photos of robin or
bridget, but shots of this young
girl roller-skating along a
familiar boardwalk caught their
eye.
|
| 00:31:58 | >> Those detectives, being in
huntington beach, actually
patrol that area.
|
| 00:32:02 | >> Harold Dow: The area was
sunset beach, near huntington
beach, the very place alcala had
denied visiting.
|
| 00:32:05 | Police released the photo,
hoping someone would come
forward.
|
| 00:32:08 | >> This girl, she ran over to my
front door.
|
| 00:32:12 | She said, "lori, you're on the
front page of the paper!
|
| 00:32:13 | "
>> Harold Dow: Lori weurtz, the
girl in the photos, was 15 years
old.
|
| 00:32:21 | >> My friend patty and I were at
sunset beach.
|
| 00:32:24 | We just saw this man with a big
camera.
|
| 00:32:27 | First, he was trying to tell us
that he worked for a magazine
and telling us that he was in a
contest.
|
| 00:32:35 | And, you know, I thought, "well,
shoot.
|
| 00:32:37 | I'll be in a magazine.
|
| 00:32:37 | "
>> Harold Dow: Laurie's friend
had marked the date in her
diary, june 20.
|
| 00:32:44 | >> That was the same day about
two miles away from where robin
samsoe was kidnapped, so that
photograph was of incredible
importance.
|
| 00:32:53 | >> Harold Dow: Two other 16-
year-olds said alcala had
approached them on the beach the
same day.
|
| 00:33:00 | >> He'd approached these teenage
girls, and he would use
essentially the same line.
|
| 00:33:03 | And then at the end of the
encounters, he tried to get them
into his car.
|
| 00:33:08 | >> Harold Dow: With several
independent witnesses
identifying alcala as the
photographer on the beach on
june 20, police now formed a
that alcala had been out
hunting for prey.
|
| 00:33:20 | So when alcala ran into robin a
second time, he wouldn't be
denied.
|
| 00:33:26 | >> This is the street that she
would have been riding her bike
up.
|
| 00:33:29 | >> Harold Dow: Do you think she
got in the car willingly?
|
| 00:33:31 | >> Robin samsoe was the one
.. she was only 12.
|
| 00:33:36 | She was innocent.
|
| 00:33:37 | She was naive, and she was
trusting, and she was also very
late.
|
| 00:33:40 | Just like he promised tali
shapiro.
|
| 00:33:42 | No doubt he convinced robin to
get into the car, too.
|
| 00:33:46 | >> Harold Dow: Police were never
able to recover robin's bicycle,
and there was still no forensic
proof tying alcala to robin.
|
| 00:33:54 | Detectives went back to the
contents of the storage locker
hoping for more clues.
|
| 00:33:59 | >> Buried under all this stuff
was this tiny little silk bag
filled with earrings.
|
| 00:34:04 | >> Harold Dow: Alcala claimed
those were his earrings, but
when police showed the jewelry
to robin's mother, marianne, she
recognized a pair of gold ball
studs that she said robin often
borrowed.
|
| 00:34:19 | How do you think they ended up
in rodney alcala's possession?
|
| 00:34:27 | >> You mean after he killed my
child, after he murdered her?
|
| 00:34:35 | I think he was one of these kind
of predators that keeps
trophies.
|
| 00:34:38 | >> Harold Dow: And investigators
learned that in the days
following robin's murder, alcala
began to dramatically change his
appearance.
|
| 00:34:46 | >> In 24 hours of the release of
that composite, which looks
exactly like him, he made
arrangements to cut his hair.
|
| 00:34:52 | Totally different.
|
| 00:34:53 | The long, curly hair was gone.
|
| 00:34:57 | >> Harold Dow: Around the same
time, alcala had also changed
the carpeting in the back of his
car.
|
| 00:35:01 | He told his girlfriend, beth, he
was trying to get rid of the
smell of spilled gasoline.
|
| 00:35:07 | But to investigators, the whole
story stunk.
|
| 00:35:11 | >> So at that point, those were
all the nuts and bolts you need
for a successful prosecution.
|
| 00:35:18 | >> Harold Dow: In february,
1980, nearly one year after
robin samsoe's murder, rodney
alcala went on trial.
|
| 00:35:25 | >> Over the course of two and a
half months, there were almost
50 witnesses that testified.
|
| 00:35:28 | It was a very long, very
difficult case.
|
| 00:35:31 | >> Harold Dow: The jury
convicted alcala and sentenced
him to death.
|
| 00:35:38 | >> The courts changed my
daughter's life, but maybe it
will save someone else's by him
being gone.
|
| 00:35:43 | >> Harold Dow: But the relief
would be short-lived.
|
| 00:35:45 | >> Today, in a 5-1 decision, the
california state supreme court
ruled that rodney alcala did not
receive a fair trial.
|
| 00:35:53 | >> Harold Dow: The decision
would devastate robin's mother,
but the fight for justice was
far from over.
|
| 00:36:00 | >> You know, there's only one
perpetrator.
|
| 00:36:04 | They're the stone, but the
ripples keep going-- and there's
victims and victims and victims

| 00:44:24 | >> Harold Dow: Hoping the law
enforcement would never talk to
each other.
|
| 00:44:25 | >> That's right.
|
| 00:44:26 | And for years, they didn't.
|
| 00:44:27 | >> Harold Dow: Believing they
had enough evidence to convict
rodney alcala as a serial
killer, matt murphy and gina
satriano wanted to prosecute the
five los angeles-area murders
together.
|
| 00:44:39 | >> Having them together really
paints the true picture of who
rodney alcala is, and gives the
jury a realistic vision of how
he commits his crimes.
|
| 00:44:50 | >> Harold Dow: Two california
counties had never shared a
murder case, and alcala
successfully fought off the
joint trial for years.
|
| 00:44:58 | But the california state supreme
court ultimately ruled for the
prosecution and last january,
almost 31 years after robin
samsoe's murder, rodney alcala
went on trial again.
|
| 00:45:12 | >> One of the many things that
hurts me is that that was the
last face she saw.
|
| 00:45:17 | And that bothers me, because
he's so ugly and he's so evil.
|
| 00:45:21 | >> Harold Dow: The samsoes are
now joined by four other
families.
|
| 00:45:26 | >> I'm dede parenteau, jill
parenteau's sister.
|
| 00:45:32 | >> Harold Dow: For whom the pain
of loss is still as raw as 30
years ago.
|
| 00:45:34 | >> The question was always there
and frequently asked by friends
did they
ever found out who georgia's
killer was?
|
| 00:45:41 | 25 Years of reliving that
terrible time and always same
answer: no.
|
| 00:45:48 | >> For so many years, I just
felt like I was always looking
over my shoulder.
|
| 00:45:53 | There was somebody out there
that had murdered my sister, and
where was he?
|
| 00:45:58 | And was he coming back?
|
| 00:45:59 | >> Your heart goes out to them.
|
| 00:46:01 | We've had somebody to hate for
31 years.
|
| 00:46:03 | They haven't.
|
| 00:46:06 | >> This is the case that we want
to fight.
|
| 00:46:09 | >> Harold Dow: Matt murphy knows
getting a conviction won't be
enough.
|
| 00:46:11 | >> We've got to get not only a
conviction, but we've got to get
a conviction that's going to be
upheld on appeal.
|
| 00:46:15 | >> Harold Dow: Complicating the
legal challenge for prosecutors,
rodney alcala is serving as his
own attorney.
|
| 00:46:29 | >> I am presenting evidence that
..
|
| 00:46:30 | >> Harold Dow: Even though he
stands accused of five vicious
murders, as rodney alcala
addresses the court, it is clear
that for him, one case stands
apart.
|
| 00:46:38 | on june the 20th
1979, robin samsoe left bridget
..
|
| 00:46:45 | >> He knew the facts cold, and
he'd spent 30 years on death row
memorizing every single
photograph, every single police
report, every single detail of
the case.
|
| 00:46:56 | >> Harold Dow: He had even
written a book about the samsoe
case, and alcala is so eager to
defend himself, he takes the
stand.
|
| 00:47:02 | >> By taking the stand, it
allowed the door to be opened to
so many things.
|
| 00:47:06 | >> Harold Dow: Murphy could now
attack alcala using statements
he made in his book.
|
| 00:47:11 | >> It was published in 1994,
tests
were conducted.
|
| 00:47:16 | So he was married to a certain
set of facts.
|
| 00:47:19 | >> Harold Dow: Like the fact
surrounding that trophy bag of
earrings found in alcala's
storage shed.
|
| 00:47:26 | samsoe
has ever come forward and said
robin had pierced ears.
|
| 00:47:38 | >> Harold Dow: Alcala had
disputed the evidence that one
pair had been worn by robin
samsoe.
|
| 00:47:41 | But because of new d.n.a.
|
| 00:47:41 | Evidence, he could not dispute
that another pair belonged to
another of his victims,
charlotte lamb.
|
| 00:47:48 | >> In his book, he said his
sister christine gave him those
earrings.
|
| 00:47:51 | 27 Years later, we were able to
test those earrings, and we got
a d.n.a. hit for charlotte lamb.
|
| 00:47:58 | >> Harold Dow: Undaunted, alcala
called robin's mother as a
defense witness.
|
| 00:48:02 | >> It was one of the hardest
things I've ever had to do in my
life, having him ask me
questions.
|
| 00:48:08 | >> Harold Dow: Desperate to
impeach marianne's character,
alcala confronts her about her
testimony at his first trial,
when she reportedly brought a
gun to court.
|
| 00:48:18 | He asked you if you brought a
gun to court on the first trial,
and you answered?
|
| 00:48:25 | >> Yes, I did.
|
| 00:48:27 | >> Harold Dow: Were you going it
shoot him?
|
| 00:48:28 | >> I was going to shoot him
right between the eyes if i
could have gotten a shot at him.
|
| 00:48:32 | >> Harold Dow: What stopped you?
|
| 00:48:38 | >> Robin's hand on my wrist, if
the truth be known.
|
| 00:48:42 | All of a sudden, I smelled her
shampoo, and I felt this warmth
on my hand, and I couldn't get
my hand out of my purse.
|
| 00:48:54 | >> Harold Dow: An even bigger
..
|
| 00:48:55 | >> He offered no explanation for
the l.a. cases at all.
|
| 00:48:57 | >> Harold Dow:..Ignoring the
l.a. cases.
|
| 00:48:58 | >> That was bizarre.
|
| 00:49:00 | It was as if those victims were
invisible to him.
|
| 00:49:03 | The scientific evidence in the
cases totally overwhelmed
him.
|
| 00:49:08 | It was over his head, and he had
no idea how to challenge it.
|
| 00:49:12 | >> In the four los angeles
cases, they devised to secretly
and dishonestly attempting to
control the outcome of the
unrelated samsoe case.
|
| 00:49:24 | Magical thinking.
|
| 00:49:24 | >> So magical thinking?
|
| 00:49:25 | >> Harold Dow: In his own
closing argument, matt murphy
ends on what is for him, too,
the heart of the trial.
