1
00:00:12,967 --> 00:00:15,000
WOMAN: Onlookers held
their noses as

2
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:17,567
police investigators
unearthed two bodies

3
00:00:17,667 --> 00:00:20,800
from shallow graves in
a suburban Denver backyard.

4
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:55,467
MAN: There's a thing
inside of me.

5
00:00:55,567 --> 00:00:57,166
It's like...

6
00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:58,700
the appetite.

7
00:00:58,767 --> 00:00:59,867
It's like a wolf that's...

8
00:01:02,066 --> 00:01:04,700
feeling...the hunger.

9
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,266
MORGAN: They don't know
what he's alluding to,

10
00:02:17,367 --> 00:02:21,100
so it's an example of
the psychological teaser,

11
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:22,266
uh, when he's saying, you know,

12
00:02:22,367 --> 00:02:24,567
this whole thing could have
stopped a long time ago.

13
00:02:24,567 --> 00:02:26,100
What is it he's going
to reveal?

14
00:02:26,166 --> 00:02:28,300
So it's part of that
dynamic of

15
00:02:28,367 --> 00:02:30,000
being in control of doling
out information.

16
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,266
being in control of doling
out information.

17
00:02:31,266 --> 00:02:34,867
He's basically spreading
his peacock feathers in

18
00:02:34,867 --> 00:02:37,800
a sense here by saying,
"Nothing can stop me.

19
00:02:37,867 --> 00:02:38,967
"I can't stop myself.

20
00:02:38,967 --> 00:02:41,266
"The only thing that's gonna
stop me is if I die,

21
00:02:41,367 --> 00:02:43,900
basically, or you lock me
up forever."

22
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:00,000
There's nothing that convinces
me that this is accidental.

23
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
There's nothing that convinces
me that this is accidental.

24
00:04:01,066 --> 00:04:03,200
He demonstrates no remorse.

25
00:04:03,266 --> 00:04:05,567
He's unable to explain
how it happened.

26
00:04:05,567 --> 00:04:07,400
One minute, they're sitting
there laughing, and the next

27
00:04:07,467 --> 00:04:10,266
minute, his friend
has a hole in his head,

28
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:14,800
as he put it, and rather than
call 911 or try to

29
00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:17,066
get his friend help,
if it were an accident,

30
00:04:17,066 --> 00:04:20,967
he instead cleans up the mess
and seemingly tries to get rid

31
00:04:20,967 --> 00:04:24,300
of any evidence that might
point the finger at him.

32
00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:55,166
It's common in speaking with

33
00:04:55,266 --> 00:04:57,266
people who suffer
from psychopathy,

34
00:04:57,367 --> 00:04:59,800
they'll comment
on just basic needs,

35
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:00,000
like, I figured I might
get arrested,

36
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,100
like, I figured I might
get arrested,

37
00:05:01,166 --> 00:05:02,467
so I thought, "I'll go out
and have sex first,

38
00:05:02,467 --> 00:05:04,567
because it might be a long
time if I get arrested."

39
00:05:04,667 --> 00:05:08,266
It seems very childlike
thinking, like,

40
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,300
"Well, if I'm gonna get caught,
I might as well eat the cookie

41
00:05:10,367 --> 00:05:11,667
I just took out of
the cookie jar."

42
00:05:46,567 --> 00:05:49,266
RAGHAVAN: He makes
a distinction between Jason,

43
00:05:49,367 --> 00:05:52,567
whom he claimed he didn't intend
to kill, and the prostitutes,

44
00:05:52,567 --> 00:05:56,300
as he calls his other victims,
whom he intended to kill.

45
00:05:56,367 --> 00:05:58,800
We found in studies
that look at why

46
00:05:58,867 --> 00:06:00,000
killers target prostitutes
is they feel

47
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,500
killers target prostitutes
is they feel

48
00:06:01,567 --> 00:06:02,900
that they're disposable,

49
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
and so that feeling comes from
sort of contempt, rage,

50
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:10,166
this idea that
they're ridding humanity, um,

51
00:06:10,266 --> 00:06:13,000
of something unwanted,
something dirty,

52
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:15,467
and dehumanizing women
in order to

53
00:06:15,467 --> 00:06:17,767
justify their ability
to kill them.

54
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:39,567
MORGAN:
She just had her hair done,

55
00:07:39,567 --> 00:07:41,166
and she had perfect teeth.

56
00:07:41,266 --> 00:07:43,500
It's not the identity of
the person

57
00:07:43,567 --> 00:07:45,600
that really matters to him.

58
00:07:45,667 --> 00:07:48,700
He points out how beautiful
they are,

59
00:07:48,767 --> 00:07:52,367
so that is, one could say,
almost trophy-like,

60
00:07:52,367 --> 00:07:55,867
and I would take that as
it's a point of pride for him.

61
00:08:49,567 --> 00:08:54,800
He talks about basically
almost killing these women as

62
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:57,700
an act of benevolence, because
they're, you know, suffering.

63
00:08:57,767 --> 00:08:59,800
He's basically
helping them out of

64
00:08:59,867 --> 00:09:01,100
their miserable lifestyle.

65
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:03,166
He was doing
these women a favor.

66
00:09:03,266 --> 00:09:04,467
But in reality,
he doesn't know

67
00:09:04,467 --> 00:09:06,426
anything at all
about these women.

68
00:09:06,426 --> 00:09:07,266
anything at all
about these women.

69
00:09:07,266 --> 00:09:09,266
MORGAN: He's learned some
Bible verses,

70
00:09:09,266 --> 00:09:11,800
and since he's gonna kill her,
they do that,

71
00:09:11,867 --> 00:09:13,000
she goes to heaven.

72
00:09:13,066 --> 00:09:15,400
It absolves him of
the responsibility,

73
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:17,200
and since he's saving her,

74
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:20,567
maybe he hasn't done a bad
thing, in his mind.

75
00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:22,867
He sees himself
as the angel of death.

76
00:09:41,967 --> 00:09:44,867
White is basically -- well,
he's shaming her or blaming her.

77
00:09:44,867 --> 00:09:47,300
Um, it's her fault.

78
00:09:47,367 --> 00:09:49,867
You're supposed to know
growing up, you don't

79
00:09:49,967 --> 00:09:53,467
get in cars with strangers,
and she did,

80
00:09:53,567 --> 00:09:56,467
so he wasn't able to protect
her from himself.

81
00:09:56,467 --> 00:09:59,500
It isn't that he had
the responsibility to refrain

82
00:09:59,567 --> 00:10:00,867
from killing her.

83
00:10:00,967 --> 00:10:03,967
In psychopathy, we see
that in people like Mr. White,

84
00:10:03,967 --> 00:10:06,100
it's somebody else's fault.

85
00:10:06,166 --> 00:10:06,426
The environment happened to
them, it's not his fault.

86
00:10:06,426 --> 00:10:09,166
The environment happened to
them, it's not his fault.

87
00:10:37,967 --> 00:10:40,800
She's disclosing
her fight with her mom.

88
00:10:40,867 --> 00:10:42,567
She's feeling bad about it.

89
00:10:42,667 --> 00:10:46,166
He clearly has no emotional
reaction to that other

90
00:10:46,266 --> 00:10:47,600
than saying,
"Oh, that sucks."

91
00:10:47,667 --> 00:10:50,867
And then he handcuffs her
and rapes her.

92
00:10:50,867 --> 00:10:55,967
These are examples of
pure psychopathic --

93
00:10:55,967 --> 00:11:01,767
the traits of callousness
and lack of remorse and cruelty.

94
00:11:01,767 --> 00:11:04,400
MORGAN: When he expresses
those feelings for his victims,

95
00:11:04,467 --> 00:11:06,426
um, it's most likely that
he's feigning them.

96
00:11:06,426 --> 00:11:07,000
um, it's most likely that
he's feigning them.

97
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,000
A little
empathetic response.

98
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,100
He doesn't feel that
it's terrible.

99
00:11:11,166 --> 00:11:13,166
It's like
a narrative commenting

100
00:11:13,166 --> 00:11:14,467
on, like, a tragic story.

101
00:11:14,567 --> 00:11:18,567
But that has nothing to do
with how he feels about her

102
00:11:18,567 --> 00:11:22,266
and anything that would
inhibit his violence toward her

103
00:11:22,367 --> 00:11:23,467
or killing her.

104
00:13:26,066 --> 00:13:29,093
The reason he targeted
prostitutes was less about

105
00:13:29,093 --> 00:13:29,700
The reason he targeted
prostitutes was less about

106
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:31,166
the fact that they sold sex

107
00:13:31,166 --> 00:13:34,000
for money and more because
he believed that they were

108
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,600
neglectful of their children.

109
00:13:35,667 --> 00:13:38,467
Why would White be so angry
at women whom he

110
00:13:38,567 --> 00:13:41,867
perceives to be poor mothers,
on whether or not they were?

111
00:13:41,867 --> 00:13:44,200
And one possibility is that

112
00:13:44,266 --> 00:13:46,600
he had a neglectful
and violent childhood.

113
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,166
He does allude to a really

114
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:45,000
interesting idea
that he's been cheated on.

115
00:14:45,066 --> 00:14:48,066
No matter how good he is
to women, they cheat on him.

116
00:14:48,066 --> 00:14:51,266
He articulates one of
the features in people

117
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:53,500
with psychopathy, um,
Mr. White admits,

118
00:14:53,567 --> 00:14:56,200
um, it's about power
and control

119
00:14:56,266 --> 00:14:58,166
over the women
that he's killed.

120
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,367
There's either a payback
or punishment to women

121
00:15:02,367 --> 00:15:04,400
for what they've done to him,

122
00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:09,767
which, by extension,
means it's really not his fault.

123
00:15:09,767 --> 00:15:11,500
Um, he's a victim.

124
00:15:49,767 --> 00:15:53,000
What he seems to be describing
is intense desire to

125
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:57,567
kill and rage that keeps
growing and escalating.

126
00:15:57,667 --> 00:15:59,093
It's powerlessness
that turns into rage.

127
00:15:59,093 --> 00:16:00,400
It's powerlessness
that turns into rage.

128
00:16:00,467 --> 00:16:05,467
Rage that's channeled as
contempt, so that he can then

129
00:16:05,567 --> 00:16:09,500
dehumanize the victim, and then
the contempt that allows

130
00:16:09,567 --> 00:16:13,967
him to play out these sadistic
fantasies and enjoy his moments

131
00:16:13,967 --> 00:16:18,000
of power side-by-side
with this perverted intimacy.

132
00:16:18,066 --> 00:16:20,300
And when he kills,
that dissipates

133
00:16:20,367 --> 00:16:22,800
the rage,
and then it builds up again.

134
00:16:23,867 --> 00:16:25,667
MORGAN: Just like a cat
playing with a mouse.

135
00:16:25,767 --> 00:16:27,467
It's gonna kill it
maybe eventually,

136
00:16:27,467 --> 00:16:29,093
but it's going to torment it
emotionally in that sense.

137
00:16:29,093 --> 00:16:30,900
but it's going to torment it
emotionally in that sense.

138
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,600
And that would be playing with
other people like toys,

139
00:16:33,667 --> 00:16:35,266
that would come
to the callousness,

140
00:16:35,367 --> 00:16:38,900
that ruthlessness, that we see
in psychopathy, where other

141
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,266
people are used
for our own pleasure,

142
00:16:42,266 --> 00:16:44,367
and that's what
Mr. White was doing.

143
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,667
The thrilling part is seeing
life leave their eyes,

144
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:50,600
and with many psychopaths,

145
00:17:50,667 --> 00:17:52,300
um, there's a progression.

146
00:17:52,367 --> 00:17:54,567
There's something that seems
exciting at the beginning

147
00:17:54,567 --> 00:17:57,100
that's not exciting later
as they kill more people.

148
00:17:57,166 --> 00:18:00,600
He needs more stimulation
to get the same level of

149
00:18:00,667 --> 00:18:02,467
excitement from an experience,

150
00:18:02,567 --> 00:18:04,900
that level of neuronal feedback
that gives him

151
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:05,899
that sense of pleasure.

152
00:18:05,899 --> 00:18:06,266
that sense of pleasure.

153
00:18:47,367 --> 00:18:51,300
He appears to be performing
for the camera.

154
00:18:51,367 --> 00:18:56,166
He -- he must know that he's
being videoed, and, you know,

155
00:18:56,166 --> 00:18:59,166
he comes in and out of being
sincere, and this has

156
00:18:59,166 --> 00:19:00,767
a performative feel.

157
00:19:00,767 --> 00:19:05,200
Um, but there's also, I think,
this interesting grandiose,

158
00:19:05,266 --> 00:19:05,899
self-righteous reference
to himself

159
00:19:05,899 --> 00:19:07,500
self-righteous reference
to himself

160
00:19:07,567 --> 00:19:10,867
where he sees himself as
merciful, because he doesn't

161
00:19:10,967 --> 00:19:13,400
torture his victims, when,
in fact, he does,

162
00:19:13,467 --> 00:19:17,300
emotionally does torture them
and sexually assaults them.

163
00:19:29,266 --> 00:19:31,266
WOMAN: Onlookers
held their noses

164
00:19:31,266 --> 00:19:34,066
as police investigators
unearthed two bodies

165
00:19:34,066 --> 00:19:35,899
from shallow graves in
a suburban Denver backyard.

166
00:19:35,899 --> 00:19:37,166
from shallow graves in
a suburban Denver backyard.

167
00:20:09,867 --> 00:20:12,667
WOMAN: Richard Paul White
walks out of the courtroom

168
00:20:12,667 --> 00:20:15,500
moments after he pleads guilty
to two counts of murder

169
00:20:15,567 --> 00:20:17,700
and three counts
of sexual assault.

170
00:20:27,166 --> 00:20:29,967
The result of this plea
bargain is that Richard White

171
00:20:29,967 --> 00:20:32,567
will spend the rest
of his life in prison
