:14:01
Posed, facedown.
Cause of death was strangulation.
:14:06
There were no bruises,
no signs of struggle.
:14:10
No evidence of molestation either.
:14:13
All the victims were runaways.
:14:15
Kids who slipped through the cracks,
et cetera.
:14:19
I drew up a profile
of the type we call the...
:14:21
..."preferential offender."
Street predator.
:14:25
White male, of course.
:14:28
Loner. Out of work or itinerant.
:14:32
Socially inept,
sexually repressed, an outcast.
:14:36
But when the killer
turned himself in...
:14:38
- He surrendered?
- Yes.
:14:41
Walked into his local police department.
:14:45
As if that wasn't embarrassing enough...
:14:47
...we soon found that except
for the "white male" part...
:14:50
...he did not correspond
to one single detail of my profile.
:14:57
In fact, I couldn't have been
any more wrong.
:15:05
That's not even the strange part.
:15:07
The strange part were the victims'
expressions.
:15:18
Are they smiling?
:15:21
Sure appears that way, doesn't it?
:15:26
Almost as if they were on
some kind of a high...
:15:29
...at the moment of their deaths...
:15:32
...in a state of bliss.
