Just being in such close proximity to some of these monsters – I do all the interviews face-to-face with them in maximum security prisons across America – often makes my skin crawl.
And I’m always thankful for the presence of the guards standing a few feet away keeping watch over their lethal inmates, knowing that some of them wouldn’t give a damn about adding me to their murder record.Several times, I’ve had cause to be genuinely concerned for my safety.
During an increasingly confrontational interview with a man dubbed the Kansas City Strangler, Lorenzo Gilyard – who throttled at least 13 women to death during a 17-year killing spree — I suddenly realized the lone guard had wondered off to the end of the larger room than usual, and I nervously pondered what would happen if Gilyard jumped up and tried to strangle me, which he looked like he wanted to do.
“How long would you have kept the cameras rolling before pulling him off me?” I asked my producer afterwards. “One second before asphyxiation,” he chuckled, ruefully. “Though if I got the timing wrong, it would be great for ratings.”Then there was the disturbing moment when the same producer dramatically stepped in to stop filming as I sat opposite Bernard Giles, a truly despicable man who kidnapped and murdered five young women hitchhikers near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida – using guns, and whatever sharp objects he could find, to horribly mutilate them.
They tend to have a high degree of intelligence, like fictitious movie villain Dr. Hannibal Lecter, which is how they evade detection for a long time. When I asked Bernard Giles why he choose the poor women he murdered, he replied simply: “Access.”
