    I even went to my first concert in that car 2 years earlier along with her younger brother and another friend. Her father drove us. Such a nice family.
    So horrible what that monster did. I hope he rots in Hell after he rots in prison first.

    That he stopped them on “Mercy Road” is an ironic twist. Never go to a secondary location with anyone.

    I couldn't imagine being in a situation where you should feel the safest, within the presence of a police officer, and have that feeling turn into your greatest fear. A monster hiding behind his badge. I'm just glad they caught him. With his decision to decline giving his DNA, and I feel they should take it anyway (he lost his rights as a murderer IMO), it really makes you wonder what other crimes he may have been a part of? Seems he is hiding something. Thanks for the video and the respect you show to the victims and their families.

  • @creolelady182
    @creolelady182 Před rokem

    Viewing this awful case one has to ask oneself, do the police initiate psychological tests on potential employees. Since this happened in 1986, this question at least for me would be hard to answer unless I did my own research. My opinion even if the police did administer psychological test, the person being tested can always fake responses especially if they are a USDA Grade A psychopath. The fact is anyone can become a murderer under the right circumstances. My question is this-you stated that Peyer placed Miss Knott on the top of his car as he was driving to the dumping site. he must have felt comfortable that no one else would be driving down that same road going in the opposite direction. I wonder how he was going to explain having a body on top of his car if he did run into someone on that same road at that time. As always Mr. Haggerty- your expertise in presenting the details is excellent. Thank you for another great case
