He will
reoffend and I believe he'll murder
tonight. More than 30 years after he terrorized women in Pacific Beach.
Kenneth Bogard is up for parole once again.
Good evening. And thanks so much for joining us.
I'm Marcella Lee Bogard was the lead singer of a popular local band.
He was convicted of raping seven women in the nineties and
he was sentenced to more than 90 years in prison.
Let's bring in our Steve Price.
Now, Steve, one of his victims has been outspoken from the very beginning
and all these years later,
she says she's going to keep the story alive for one important reason.
Well, think about this, Marcella,
he hasn't even served a third of his sentence at this point, but
he's already up for parole.
Now,
the fight to try and keep him behind bars because one victim fears as we heard her say
he'll do it again.
He entered apartments in the middle of the night,
terrorizing women in Pacific Beach.
I'm afraid to live in the PV area.
The rapes started in 1992 and over the next two years,
there were at least seven victims.
Wake up Kim like happy Kim Caldwell was
sound asleep in her apartment on Oliver Avenue.
When the voice woke her up, she thought it was her boyfriend who lived in LA.
I just turned and it's every woman's worst nightmare.
You know, the ski mask with the,
you know, the alien eye.
And then this big old jagged edge knife,
Kim says he put the knife to her throat and had
a bizarre demeanor as if she wanted him to be there.
She still remembers his final words. He said, do you want me to leave?
It's so creep me out like I just got the joke.
You know, what's the right answer?
Is it? Yes. Is it no or I don't know when is the knife gonna go into my chest? Right?
Kim broke the victim mold after being raped
by going public courageously telling her story,
putting pressure on police who finally created a task force
that led to the arrest of Kenneth Bogart,
a singer in a popular band that regularly played gigs at the beach DNA.
Evidence connected him to the crimes and Kim
continued her fight for justice testifying in court.
I thought he was gonna cut me.
You know, it was really,
this is horrible. I thought he was gonna cut
me. Bogard was sentenced to 96 years in prison.
But a change in state laws to prevent prison
overcrowding made him eligible for parole five years ago.
At his first parole hearing, he said
he thought he was a good lover and that we would like it.
There you go.
So there's the kind of guy you want walking around your street.
It's terrifying. Really terrifying. Bogart's request was denied.
But later this month he's eligible again.
Kim will fight to keep him locked up, but fears this time he will get out.
And this guy is a sexual sadist. He's a predator.
They don't stop, they can't stop
like pedophiles,
They don't stop.
Kim is hoping by sharing her story again,
it will persuade the parole board to keep Bogart behind bars.
She's in her sixties now retired and loves to paint and travel.
But she also knows fighting to keep Bogart in
prison will be a part of her life forever.
Once you become a rape victim,
it becomes your responsibility.
Unfortunately, because someone's next your daughter,
my niece,
someone's n
so Kim actually wanted to go and be there to face Bogard for this hearing,
but she's not allowed to instead she's going to testify over Zoom
and she decided to rent a place right on the beach so that he would see behind her,
that background.
She says she knows that he loved the beach. He can't go. She calls it a
little creative revenge. You know, Kim is so strong. So
30 years ago, she started sharing her story so that
it would get the attention that it needed. They developed the task force, they found
the suspect which was a surprise to many in the community at that point.
But boy, she, if you could just tell her that by her reaction,
that she's kind of reliving it again.
Every time she tells a story.
Well, in the first time we did an interview with her,
we actually did blur her face back in the nineties, she came back to us and said no,
no, no, no.
This makes it look like I did something wrong when you blur my face,
I didn't do anything wrong.
The only thing I did go to bed that night thinking it would be another normal night.
And that's why you see her in other interviews with her face.
Not because we wanted to, she asked us to do that
to be a strong force and to try and get other victims to come forward, which they did,
by the way.
That's amazing. All right. Well, we will continue, of course to follow the story.
