A still from"Wild Crime," season 2.
"We didn't have any known missing people from the immediate area," said Tucker, "so it was very difficult to think, well, what is the next thing we should do?" The alleged serial killer was confessing to things like necrophilia and cutting up victims into "little tiny pieces" and during four months in police custody he admitted to committing 156 murders, mostly female victims.One place that he said he had committed a homicide was "a mountainous national park in California," said Tucker, which gave investigators a potential lead for the first time in the case.
"It's like, 'This guy has been to the crime scene,'" said former criminal investigator for the National Park Service Don Coelho. "That's when it hit us."
