Trick or treat!
- Hello! - Yo, hello, trick or treat!
Trick or treat...
Hey!
I'm told we have a suspect in the Liz Garner murder holloween night.
Donna Kale,
picked up this morning.
You have your doubts?
Have you seen the photos?
It takes a lot of muscles to strangle somebody like that.
She's a meth head.
Strength of ten men went her high.
Plus, she was caught trying to burn the victim's blouse and pocketbook.
She gave her statement?
She said she found the items in a park the morning after the murder,
and she asked for a lawyer, and she claimed him.
Probably the defendant's on his way.
- Motive? - Drug robbery.
Husband said the wife had 300 bucks in the pocketbook.
You found the money?
She was smoking the last of it when we arrested her.
Why take the victim's blouse?
I mean, you said the rape kit came up clean.
Maybe she was trying make it look like a sex crime.
Neighbours called the cops
about some kids who were fooling around on the Garner property.
It could've scared them off.
You really think the woman did this?
It happens,
and especially with meth.
Look, this girl's got quite a records, started as a juvenile.
She's got drug arrest up the wazoo.
All right, if her lawyer's on the way,
we'll take it from here detective, thanks.
Knock yourselves out.
Felony murder.
Come on Annabeth, it's****charge.
She deliberately destroyed evidence from a homicide.
She found the blouse and the pocktbook, okay?
Then she freaked out, and tried to get rid of them.
3 months' probation drug we have.
Suppose you didn't kill Mrs. Garner,
just being there when it happened
makes you guilty of felony murder.
That's 45 years in prison.
Her 1 year old
was in the room when she was murdered.
How does that feel?
Until you tell us what you know about this, you're staying in jail.
You can't hold her indefinitely.
Evidence tampering,
matieral witness, accomplice and a felony murder, watch me.
She participated in the crime,
or she's protecting somebody who did.
You're gonna talk him about that? We can discuss a deal.
I'm giving you a chance.
Don't blow up.
Based on the size and depth of the marks and bruises on her neck,
the M.E. said Mrs. Garner was almost certainly strangled by a man.
A big man, judging by the size of his hands.
If Donna Kale was his accomplice, it's still felony murder.
The police think it's sort of drug related robbery.
But you are not buying it.
According to the M.E.
the colorations of the bruises indicate Garner was strangled,
allowed to revive,
then strangled again.
That sounds like torture.
There's another reason.
It's 20 miles from Donna Kale's house to Liz Garner's.
How many junkies travel half a way across town
to rob someone they've never met.
Show Meg shots to Mrs. Garner's husband.
Donna Kale?
That's who you arrested for killing my wife?
You know her?
Yeah, she grew up down the street.
I've known her for ever. This is uh, Gene Kale's daughter.
She ever threaten you? Or your wife?
Donna? No.
She is an addict.
I never thought she was dangerous. She's...
She's just sad. She's really, uh...
screwed up, you know. She's...
You sure she's the one who did this?
At the very least, we think she's involved.
Meth can make people mean.
Well, I've never seen that side of her.
I did see her, though, the day after Liz was...
The day after...
It's okay. Take your time.
I was, uh...
coming back from the funeral home and
her dad was taking down his halloween decorations
and she was out front talking to him.
I remember thinking,
you know, how ordinary it all was.
I'm about to bury my wife and...
life goes on. I just...
Donna have a boyfriend?
There was this guy she used to hang around with sometimes.
- You know, he made me nervous. - Druggie?
Yeah, it was written all over him.
- Mrs. Kale? - She died when Donna was born.
Gene raised her on his own.
Donna's not involved in this. I know my daughter.
With all due respect, Sir, your daughter's a junkie...
a drug addict.
I assume you checked her record.
It's all possession, small amounts.
She doesn't deal, and she doesn't steal to support her habit.
She doesn't work either.
I give her money...
sometimes.
Look, I know it's wrong,
but she comes by,
says it's for clothes or to pay bills.
I know what it's for, but...
She's my kid. She's got a problem.
She'd never hurt anybody.
What about her boyfriend?
They broke up last year.
I met him a few times. Tim something.
Veeter, Tim Veeter.
Are you sure about the time, Tim?
It was halloween night, man.
You didn't do a little trick or treating?
You think he's involved?
He's got an alibi for the time of the murder.
- Narcotics anonymous meeting. - Why'd you bring him down?
'Cause when we asked him about Donna, he stopped talking.
- Lawyered up? - Sponsored up.
Said he couldn't talk to us about it
unless we got his N.A. sponsor down here.
Sponsored up?
That's a new one.
Could be him now.
I hope so.
Why, you got someplace else to be?
Mark Shell.
Halloween night, Mark.
I was with Tim at St. Stan's from about a quarter of 8:00 to 9:30, 9:45.
We'll need the names of everybody at that meeting.
So... you're ready to talk about Donna Kale now?
I saw her last night... at a N.A. meeting.
She seemed likeshe needed it. She was barely hanging on.
And you know why, so tell me.
This was a vicious homicide.
Mother of two young kids.
Now is the time to share.
Donna told me this in confidence.
It's supposed to be sacred what's said at those meetings to each other.
If it helps get Donna out of jail, Tim,
I think it's all right.
She said...
"I think my father killed somebody last night,
on halloween".
- She say who? - That woman in the news.
Liz Garner?
Donna Kale just flat out denies.
She ever told the ex-boyfriend her father killed Liz Garner.
Without corroboration, Mr. Veeter's statement is worthless.
We should search Kale's house anyway.
We know Donna was there the day after the murder.
If either one of them is involved in this, we need to move fast.
The ex-boyfriend's statement is hearsay.
To use it as a basis for a search warrant,
you would need to corroborate it.
Well, maybe it's not the basis for the warrant.
Maybe it's just something we put into the affidavit to persuade a friendly judge.
It's risky.
The trial judge could invalidate the warrant
and we'd lose any evidence we found.
We'll lose that evidence anyway if Kale has time to destroy it.
Keep the affidavit simple.
Basically, Veeter's statement is corroborated by Donna Kale's actions
the day after she visited her father's house.
Burning the blouse and pocketbook.
What about Donna Kale?
We either need to charge her or let her go.
If her father is the killer, we're gonna need her testimony.
And if she's his accomplice, she's still on the hook for felony murder.
Charge her with evidence tampering for now.
And ask the judge to set a stiff bail.
We'll swear out the search warrant.
Will I be able to attend my deacons' meeting this afternoon?
I wouldn't count on making that meeting, brother.
It's important. I'm on the facilities committee.
Rectory needs a new roof.
Techs found a trace of blood under the lid of the washing machine.
I build birdhouses. Nicked myself on a band saw.
You ought to be more careful, Mr. Kale.
With luminol,
we found more blood smeared on the front of the washer.
- Somebody tried to wipe it up. - Like I said...
If it's yours, no problems.
But if it's Liz Garner's, on the other hand...
Where'd you get these?
Where?!
Ed!
Turn around.
You're under arrest.
Mr. Kale, you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
- If you can't afford an attorney... - I can afford an attorney.
Excellent. The system works.
Tear this place apart.
Recognize any of these women?
Between '84 and '97, a serial killer here, in Indianapolis,
strangled and suffocated eight women.
He killed his eighth,
and, as far as we know last, nine years ago.
- Liz Garner was strangled and suffocated. - Yes, she was.
These are photocopies of the driver's licenses of all the women he killed.
Just sitting on the bookshelf where anybody could find them.
Talk about brazen.
Anne Blackwood was the last known.
1997, I caught the case.
I remember the Blackwood murder, I was in law school.
The killer had a name for himself, right?
The Professor...
That's the name he used
to sign the letters he sent to the newspapers and the police.
He would also send
copies of the victim's driver's license and a piece of fabric from her clothing.
If it's the same M.O. as the Garner case, strangled and suffocated...
Why didn't I see it right off?
Wasn't exactly the same.
And the Garner crime scene was nothing like the Professor's.
He was probably interrupted before he could finish.
The Professor's crime scene was always clean, right? No DNA.
Pristine.
Never left any hair, skin, blood or fingerprints. Nothing.
Victim's body washed
and naked on a clean, white sheet.
Another sheet laid over like you'd see in a morgue.
Something I don't understand.
It's got all the earmarks of a sex crime, but he didn't touch them.
In his letters, he claimed to be celibate.
Insisted the killings were about science, not sex.
- What do you mean, science? - The science of death.
His letters said he was
doing research for a book.
You really think Kale is the Professor?
I'm not saying these photocopies get you a conviction...
but they convince me.
Not me.
Not that I wouldn't love convicting a famous serial killer, but...
- We're not gonna do it with photocopies. - Agreed.
No, we need the actual drivers' licenses, the victims' clothing.
They're not in Kale's house. The cops and crime techs tore it apart.
All right, keep working on it.
In the meantime,
the blood evidence from Kale's basement came back as a match for Liz Garner.
- The M.E. confirmed it today. - That's enough.
Even if Kale is the Professor,
we push ahead with the Garner murder.
At least there, we have something concrete.
Guaranteed Kale's defense attorney will challenge the search.
The warrant was a little iffy.
Talk to the daughter again.
If she'll testify where she found the blouse and the pocketbook
and corroborate what she told her ex-boyfriend, we can shore up our case.
Maybe if Donna Kale knows her father is a serial killer,
she'll stop protecting him.
What we discuss today is confidential.
- I need your word. - You have mine.
- I can't speak for her, of course. - She'll keep the secret.
How do you know that?
Because it's her secret too.
You told Tim your father killed Liz Garner.
No. I didn't... I didn't tell him that.
We found her blood in his basement.
We found evidence in his home linking him to other women,
other murders, Donna, eight of them.
Maggie Kelly.
Your father killed her in 1984. You were six.
He took her striped sweater as a memento.
He's a serial killer?
- Jeffrey, he's the Professor. - Professor? You're kidding.
- No, uh-uh, it's not possible. - It's not possible?
Of course it is.
Rebecca Bartlett, 29. Your father killed her in 1991.
He took her green-print scarf to remember her by. You were 12.
These women have nothing to do with me or my father!
Anne Blackwood, 26. He killed her in 1997. You were 19.
He took her purple baseball jersey.
- Donna, please... - Leave me alone!
We're charging your father tomorrow
in the murder of Elizabeth Garner.
You knew Mrs. Garner...
and her family. You were neighbors.
Donna, ask yourself.
What are you doing?
Why are you protecting him?
One count of murder, Mr. Kale. How do you plead?
- Not guilty, Your Honor. - Bail?
On the matter of bail, Your Honor,
the evidence in this case is extremely weak,
not merely circumstantial, it's inferential.
It's forensic, Your Honor. The victim's blood was found in the defendant's home.
Save the back-and-forth for trial, counselors. Defendant is remanded.
I'll see you this afternoon.
Some show.
Thought you guys had a big-time serial killer on your hands.
Where'd you hear that, Mr. Bosco?
Word gets around. Cops talk, lawyers talk.
We're investigating.
In the meantime, we have him dead to rights on the murder of Liz Garner.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Motion to suppress the blood evidence from the Kale house.
- Dream on. - Have a nice day.
Well, we knew this motion was coming.
I wish we could get Donna Kale to testify.
I'm not sure keeping her locked up is gonna work.
She's holding on to her secret
like she's a drowning woman and it's a life preserver.
Denial.
Don't talk about it, pretend it didn't happen. Maybe it'll all go away.
No wonder she takes drugs.
She reacted to the pictures of the dead woman like
she felt guilty for what her father had done to them.
Guilty?
She was a child.
Oh, man. Look at her arrests.
13 years old, she gets busted for booze and pot.
I think she knew what he was doing even back then.
Keeping this secret has ruined her life.
Mr. Garner told Ed and Ray
Donna has always been a sad case, since she was a child.
Raised by a serial killer, how could she not be?
- Kale knew the Garners pretty well. - For years.
All of Kale's victims
lived in shady side township,
within five miles of his house.
Maybe he knew his other victims, as well.
We should start with the most recent one first.
Anne Blackwood.
I think of Anne every day.
What I think is, she's dead...
and the man who killed her is still out there, walking around,
breathing the air,
happy to be alive.
So he's the Professor?
We think so.
He killed a woman a few days ago.
He looks kind of familiar.
But I don't know, I'm not placing him.
Did you or Anne ever attend the first methodist church?
Sorry, presbyterian. Why?
- He's a deacon. - A deacon?
Who would suspect a deacon.
Like I said, he looks kind of familiar, but...
How about this one?
- Who's that? - Same guy.
That's what he looks like now.
That's why he looks familiar. The uniform.
I remember him. He used to patrol around here.
He cited us once.
Letting the dogs run off the leash.
Now we know how to connect Kale to the victims, his job.
Kale's job is giving people tickets, right?
Grass is too long, Kale writes you a ticket.
Garbage can missing a lid, Kale writes you a ticket.
- Riding a bike on the sidewalk... - Kale writes you a ticket.
We ran a computer search of Kale's citations.
He ticketed Liz Garner for a trash can violation one week before he killed her,
and four other times in the three months prior to her death.
You found a similar pattern with the other victims?
Computer records only go back to '89.
But from '89 forward the answer's yes.
Kale ticketed every one of his victims
multiple times in the months before they were murdered.
That can't be a coincidence.
Well, a defense attorney would argue it's exactly that,
just Kale doing his job.
Which is why we have to go through Kale's records from before '89,
see what else there is.
Get a subpoena.
Will do.
Here's another one.
This one about Liz Garner, written in the margin of a citation.
"Lizzie G, home alone,"10:36 until 3:49.
"Bonnie arrives. Mr. G, 6:42".
Just like the photocopies of the licenses,
hidden in plain sight.
If you consider burying it in a hundred thousand pages of parking tickets
and lawn care citations plain sight.
But you see what I mean.
Kale wants this stuff
to look like work-related notes written in the margin of a citation, but
you put it all together...
he had them under surveillance.
He was stalking them.
Planning their deaths.
Annabeth, sorry to wake you.
You charged Mr. Kale for the Garner murder.
What's this about?
Your client...
is the Professor, Mr. Bosco.
Mrs. Garner was his ninth victim.
Well, if you could prove that,
I doubt you'd be sitting here trying to make a deal.
Her accusations are ridiculous.
For Mr. Kale's confession to the eight previous murders,
as well as Liz Garner's,
we'll agree not to seek the death penalty.
I can't advise my client to take a deal
without knowing something about these other cases.
His work records connect him to every one of these victims,
including Liz Garner.
They show how he surveilled them, timed their attacks,
his points of entry and escape from their homes.
That interpretation of my work records
shows a lively imagination, Ms. Chase.
"June 12, 2006"
"8:47 A.M., Liz's husband departs"
"9:17, Liz goes to grocery store"
"10:51, Liz home Ice cream"
"6:24 P.M., husband Jim home from hard day at office"
- Is that related in any way to your work? - Yes, it is.
Residents cited for violations often make excuses.
My detailed notes ensure that when such excuses are less than truthful,
they do not convince our town's credulous magistrates.
If that's the best explanation you have, Mr. Kale,
you're gonna be executed for these murders.
- I should discuss this with my client. - No need.
I'm innocent. I'll take my chances at trial.
Then we'll proceed with the charges.
I don't care what you told Kale or his lawyer.
I'm still not ready to indict him on the serial killings.
These records prove Kale tracked every one of the Professor's victims.
But not that he murdered them!
Look,
if this were any other case, I would go ahead and indict,
but we cannot afford to be wrong about Kale.
Or worse, right and not get a conviction.
Are you running away from this case?
Ed...
Do you believe Kale killed these women or not?
Let's grab some coffee, all right, man?
That's a good idea. I suggest you do that.
They matter, Conlon!
Their families have been waiting for years!
Believe me, Ed,
I want to indict him,
so why don't you find me the victims' clothing?
Find me their driver's licenses.
Find me the typewriter he used
to type the letters that he sent to the papers and the police.
I'll indict Kale on the Professor killings
when you find me something other than your opinion
about how to proceed with a murder trial.
I've done 43 of them. How about you?
You want to keep your perfect record, is that it?
Your winning streak?
Come on, big fellow,
before you say something you really regret.
Continue prepping for the Garner trial.
Uh, we have the hearing on Bosco's motion to suppress in the morning.
I'm not anticipating any trouble, are you?
If we lose the blood evidence,
we are in trouble.
Then we'd absolutely need Donna to testify against her father.
And if she still won't?
He'll probably walk.
The blood evidence from the search in Mr Kale's house
should be suppressed, Your Honor.
Indiana code 3533.52 requires a search warrant affidavit
based on hearsay to be corroborated.
The warrant was based on many facts, Your Honor.
It wouldn't have been issued without Timothy Veeter's statement, Sir.
Did investigator Williams corroborate Mr. Veeter's statement, Ms. Chase?
The totality of the circumstances corroborated the statement, Your Honor.
You didn't quite answer my question, Ms. Chase.
Without providing any factual basis,
a drug addict reports to the authorities
his addict ex-girlfriend's suspicion that her father killed Liz Garner.
How does that corroborate anything?
Your Honor, Miss Kale visited her father
shortly before burning evidence taken from the murder scene.
Critical claim of the affidavit was that Mr. Kale murdered Liz Garner.
Under the Mason precedent, the statement would need more
than Donna Kale's whereabouts hours before burning evidence
from the murder scene to corroborate that claim.
The magistrate who issued the warrant could have asked...
It's not that magistrate's court, Ms. Chase, it's mine.
The affidavit falls short, the blood evidence is suppressed.
Why are you letting me out?
I thought you might finally be willing to talk to me if I did.
I don't care what you do.
I'm not talking to you about my father.
Donna, I saw the way you looked at those pictures.
You knew about those women.
That's why you started taking drugs when you were a kid.
You knew what he was doing.
That must have been such a terrible burden for you.
I can't imagine what you've gone through.
I'm sorry.
I want Kale indicted for the serial killings today.
- What? - You heard me.
We're charging Kale with the Professor killings.
Why the change of heart?
Because Ed here forced my hand.
He leaked the story to the press.
Now if I don't charge Kale, I look weak.
If I don't convict him, I look incompetent.
"Will the Professor walk?
"Indy's most notorious killer's slipping through prosecutor's fingers"
Wasn't me.
"Asked why Kale had not been indicted on the Professor's eight claimed murders,"
"an anonymous source close to the case"
"said that chief deputy prosecutor Conlon was too cautious"
"to put forward a case"
"of which he was not 100% certain he could win"
I don't care what you think, Conlon,. I didn't rat you out.
Then who did? If not you, then who?
I'm not an anonymous source.
If that was my story, I'd have put my name on it.
If this comes back to you, you're done.
Wait, wait.
What if Kale leaked the story to the papers?
Why would Kale want to be charged with those eight murders?
Attention.
Appreciation for his criminal genius.
He's facing the death penalty.
And his lawyer just kicked our butts on the Garner blood evidence.
Maybe he thinks he can get away with the Professor killings too.
That's his fantasy.
To be indicted as the Professor, but acquitted of the crimes.
Thumb his nose at the world.
Well, that's quite a gamble on his part.
But he doesn't see it that way.
He's so smart, it isn't a gamble at all.
For him, it's the ultimate victory,
the culmination of his life's work.
I want the indictments filed today,
and I want a press conference scheduled for this afternoon.
If there's gonna be a show,
it's gonna be my show, not Kale's.
People V. Eugene Kale, eight counts of murder.
Do you understand the charges against you, Mr. Kale?
I do, Your Honor.
- How do you plead? - Not guilty, Your Honor.
Since the accused is already in custody, I assume bail is moot?
- I would hope so, Your Honor. - Mr. Conlon.
Mr. Kale savagely murdered nine women in their homes.
I'm sure you'll agree he poses a serious threat to the people of Indianapolis.
Were he to be out on bail and commit another such crime,
it would truly be a tragedy, Sir.
I do agree, Mr. Conlon. Mr. Kale is remanded.
- Heard it was quite a show. - Kale loved it.
Ate up the attention with a spoon.
I'm sure he's never been happier.
I was thinking about his victims.
Do you think Kale would have eventually claimed
Liz Garner as one of the Professor's subjects?
He got interrupted.
The Professor never claimed any crime that wasn't perfectly staged.
Where you going with this?
Maybe there were others he didn't claim,
that he botched for one reason or another.
You want us to look through his work records,
try to find other women he might have stalked.
Yeah. Cross-reference
"female assault" and "murder victims" in shady side township for the past 25 years.
If we find a victim who also received tickets from Kale,
she's probably one of his.
She's also probably dead.
Assault victims, too, not just murders. Who knows?
If one of them managed to get away,
maybe we even find a witness.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Can I help you?
Ed Williams, Indianapolis prosecutor's office.
Are you Charlene Darcy?
Yes.
Were you the victim of an assault in december 1994?
Yes, I was.
Could I ask you to look at a picture?
We've come up with a possible suspect.
Sure.
Oh, yes.
He had a gun.
He took me to the basement and tied me up.
Then he...
choked me until I passed out.
When I woke up, he asked questions.
What did he want to know?
What it felt like to die...
The last image that came into my mind before I blacked out.
How many times did he choke you?
Three or four.
The last time he must have thought I was dead because
he untied me.
I came...
I came to...
I was on... on the floor on my back.
He was standing over me...
with his pants around his ankles and...
he was...
you know.
Yeah, I get it.
Uh, how did you escape?
Well, my husband wasn't feeling well,
came home from work early that day...
which saved my life.
The guy heard Bob in the driveway, ran away.
He masturbated over his victims.
Might be why he cleans his crime scenes so obsessively.
Brags about the killing, but embarrassed by the sex?
The Professor.
Never thought we'd discover his dirty little secret.
He's going to be really embarrassed when it comes out at trial.
So embarrassed he might even want to cut a deal.
You remember her?
She remembers you.
Only it's not in a very professorial light.
What does that mean?
He attacked this girl in 1994.
Thought she was dead, but she wasn't.
When she woke up, the self-proclaimed professor here was...
Well, he knows what he was doing.
You never wrote to the newspapers about her, did you?
But thanks to his work records,
we found her.
You ladies see things in these work records
that just aren't there.
I guess we'll find out when Ms. Darcy testifies.
Tells the world what she saw you doing when she regained consciousness.
Once again, our meeting has barely begun
and you've seemed to turn it into a kangaroo court.
I think we're done here.
Guard!
Wait.
If this woman saw you, it was 12 years ago.
We don't know what they can prove about her
or how it relates to the murders for which you've been indicted.
He knows exactly what he did to Charlene Darcy and the eight others.
What he would have done to Liz Garner if he hadn't been interrupted.
It's why he washed them down
and tucked them in when he was finished.
He was ashamed...
not of the killing,
of the sex.
I will tell you what you want to know.
You'll confess?
To the nine murders only, nothing else.
I will not confess to what you say I did to that woman
and you will not charge me with what she says she remembers.
This is a proffer, Ms. Chase.
If we don't reach a deal here,
what he says cannot be used at trial.
Agreed.
Go on, Mr. Kale.
I want to speak at my plea allocution
for as long as I need.
"Guilty, Your Honor, nine times".
- That's all you have to say. - No.
They were very dear to me.
All of them.
Anne...
Maggie...
Rebecca...
Sarah...
Virginia...
Lisa...
Joan...
and Betty.
I held them so close for many years.
I want to share with the world what I learned from them.
My research...
My book...
which is not yet written.
I have so much to thank them for.
It's disgusting but we take the deal.
We let him thank his victims in Court?
Revel in all the gory details of their deaths?
We take nine murder convictions for the victory they are.
Kale dies in prison.
He wants to demean his victims all over again and torture their families.
I'm sorry for that.
But with his confession, we avoid the risk of going to trial.
You just never know what a jury's going to do.
He's deeply embarrassed about what Charlene Darcy knows about him.
I guarantee you he would give up his allocution rather than face her on the stand.
You can't risk nine convictions to find out if you're right.
We can get his confession without letting him make a speech.
At least give me one more chance with Donna before we finalize the plea.
What is it that you think she knows?
A lot. She may not even realize how much.
She lived with him the years he committed most of these crimes.
I mean, if we get her talking, who knows what she leads us to.
We may finally find Kale's trophies.
I want Kale's signed plea agreement on my desk by 5:00 tomorrow. Now,
if you can find a way to get that
without granting him his little speech, great.
If not, you give him what he wants.
You're relentless, you know that?
Your father confessed.
You can't pretend anymore that it didn't happen.
He's gonna tell a judge exactly what he did to those women.
What do you want from me?
Donna,
your father wants the attention.
He wants to enjoy killing those women all over again
at the expense of their families.
You of all people should know how painful that would be.
- He's a freak. - But you're not.
And feeling responsible for what he did is ruining your life.
I don't get it.
Why are you here?
Why do you care about me?
Because of what he did to you.
He's destroyed your life too.
I always thought my dad was lonely.
When I was about
12, my best friend and I found
a lady's scarf and driver's license in my dad's closet.
The one you showed me with the blonde hair and the pretty smile.
I had seen my dad talking to her a couple times in the grocery store.
And, um...
I told my friend
that they were secretly in love...
and that soon...
I would have a new mom.
Couple weeks later, an article in the newspaper said that...
the woman was dead.
And that...
that her killer had sent a copy of her driver's license to the police.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I don't know what...
what to tell you. I don't know how to help you.
We can't find the things he took from his victims.
Maybe he got rid of them.
We think he's still got them.
Serial killers tend to hang on to their trophies.
- Did you search the house? - Top to bottom.
Is there someplace else he may have hidden them?
Donna, maybe a
friend's house or a relative's?
He hates his relatives.
No friends.
Spent all his time at home working on his weird hobbies.
The...
- needlepoint? Birdhouses? - Yeah.
He's obsessed with those things.
His knick-knacks.
Donna said her father was obsessed with his hobbies.
Remember the notations in the work records,
the photocopies in the scrapbooks?
I think Kale's trophies are somewhere right here.
In plain sight.
Plain sight, huh?
Where would that be?
Guys... Look at this. Look at this.
Kale's hobby.
He turned his victims' clothing into a memory quilt.
It's a pocket.
I said I would speak for an unlimited amount of time at the allocution.
It's not in here.
That's because it's not gonna happen.
Then I rescind my offer.
We're being generous, Mr. Kale,
considering the alternative.
The alternative is I don't confess.
The alternative is we humiliate you for months in Court
and in the press,
leak compromising photos to the tabloids, and then a jury
gives you the death penalty.
I'm afraid you've lost me.
We found your quilt.
Your trophy photos...
Your dirty little pictures...
You don't even measure up to the twisted killer you pretended to be.
The Professor...
You're just a pervert.
A pathetic little pervert.
- I should be allowed to address the Court. - No allocution.
No press, no gallery. Just an empty courtroom.
What do you mean?
The families won't be there?
We're protecting the families from you, Mr. Kale.
They'll have their own press conference after you're gone.
It's a public proceeding. You can't close it.
Sue us. By the time you obtain a temporary injunction,
he'll be on the bus to the penitentiary.
Do you understand you are charged with murder,
a class-A felony, in count seven?
- Yes, Your Honor. - How do you plead to count seven?
Guilty, Your Honor.
In count eight,
on or about the 23rd day of april 1997 in the county of Marion, state of Indiana,
it is claimed you did unlawfully kill a human being, Anne Blackwood,
knowingly, maliciously, willfully, deliberately.
Do you understand you are charged with murder,
a class-A felony, in count eight?
Yes, Your Honor.
- How do you plead to count eight? - Guilty, Your Honor.
In count nine,
on the 31st day of october 2006 in the county of Marion, state of Indiana,
it is claimed you did unlawfully kill a human being, Elizabeth Garner,
knowingly, maliciously, willfully, deliberately.
Do you understand you are charged with murder,
a class-A felony, in count nine?
Yes, Your Honor.
How do you plead to count nine?
Guilty, Your Honor.
Nice job, counselor.
You too.
I guess just go ahead and feed her.
I'll be home by seven to put her to bed.
I have one more meeting.
Okay, thanks.
- Hi, Donna. - Ms. Chase.
This is my friend Tim.
- Nice to meet you. - Hi,Tim.
- I needed some moral support. - I understand.
Come on.
I wanted to, um...
thank you for, you know...
- reaching out to me. - Of course.
The press conference for the families went really well.
I think everybody's relieved.
I hope they know how sorry I am.
Donna, nobody blames you, okay?
You need to know that.
And you need to believe it too.
Here we are.
Hi, Donna.
Mr. Garner.
Thanks for coming.
I'm, uh...
glad to see you.
You are?
