STUDENTS WON’T COME BACK UNTIL
THEY FEEL SAFE.
MARK FUHRMAN JOINS ME NOW FORMER
LAPD DETECTIVE AND CURRENTLY
LIVES IN IDAHO.
DETECTIVE, IF YOU WERE RUNNING
THIS ON POINT, WHAT WOULD YOU BE
DOING RIGHT NOW?
>> JESSE, I WOULD PROBABLY BE
DOING EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE DOING RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW.
I AM ACTUALLY FAIRLY IMPRESSED
WHEN I SEE HOW FAST THEY PUT
TOGETHER A TASK FORCE.
MANY TIMES SMALLER AGENCIES ARE
HESITANT TO BE SECOND-GUESSED SO
THEY DON’T BRING IN OTHER
AGENCIES OR THE FEDS OR THE
STATE POLICE BECAUSE THEY DON’T
WANT TO BE, YOU KNOW, CRITICIZED
OR ANYTHING ELSE.
AND THAT’S NOT THE FACT HERE.
SO, I WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY TO
UNDERSTAND THAT ALMOST EVERY
SERIAL KILLER INVESTIGATION THAT
WE KNOW THAT IS FAMOUS STARTS
OUT LARGE AGENCIES THAT DON’T
GET ANY HANDLE TON UNTIL VICTIMS
7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
SO,.
>> Jesse: DO YOU THINK THIS IS A
SERIAL KILLER ON THE LOOSE,
DETECTIVE?
>> I WOULD SAY ONO.
JUST AS THE CHIEF OF POLICE SAID
IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE AND YOU
STATED IN YOUR MONOLOGUE, WE
HAVE A TARGETED CRIME HERE AND
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LAY OUT
EXACTLY WHY IT’S TARGETED.
I THINK THE CHIEF OF POLICE WAS
QUITE CANDID, DANCING AROUND THE
QUESTION A LITTLE BIT.
HE GAVE AN ANSWER THAT THEY ARE
LOOKING AS A TARGETED OFFENSE
BECAUSE OF THE TOTALITY OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES, WELL, OF COURSE,
THAT WOULD COVER ANYTHING AND
EVERYTHING.
SO, THEY ARE LOOKING AT THIS AS
A TARGETED OFFENSE.
AND A TARGETED OFFENSE MEANS
THAT THE SUSPECT KNOWS AND
SOUGHT OUT ONE OR MORE VICTIMS
IN THAT HOUSE SPECIFICALLY.
FOR A REASON.
POSSIBLY ONLY HE KNOWS.
>> Jesse: THIS DOG FILLETED LIKE
A FISH IS CONNECTED TO THIS
DIVAWM HOMICIDEQUADRUPLE HOMICID
>> I THINK WE COULD PASS OVER
THAT AND GET TO A FILE SOMETIME.
THEY NEED TO STAY ON POINT.
I THINK THOUGH HAVE STAYED ON
POINT FAIRLY WELL ON THIS.
NOW THEY TURNED TO THE PUBLIC.
BLOOD SPATTER ANALYSIS, YOU
BROUGHT IT UP, THE FBI’S EXPERTS
ARE THERE.
BLOOD SPATTER ANALYSIS CAN TELL
US A LOT OF THINGS.
CAN TELL US THE PROGRESSION OF
THE WOUNDS WHICH VICTIM WAS
THIRD, SECOND, THIRD AND FOURTH.
CAN TELL US IF THE SUSPECT IS
RIGHT OR LEFT-HANDED AND IF THE
ATTACK OCCURRED WHEN BOTH PEOPLE
ARE STANDING.
SOMETIMES THE HEIGHT WE GOT SHOE
PARENTAL WHETHER OR NOT
OBLITERATED BY THE SUSPECT THE
BATTLE OF THE FIGHT, THE MURDER
OR IT WAS PEOPLE THAT CAME IN
AFTER THE FACT.
>> Jesse: ALL RIGHT, LET ME ASK
YOU THIS, AS A FORMER DETECTIVE,
YOU COULD POSSIBLY FIND THE
HEIGHT AND YOU COULD POSSIBLY
DETERMINE RIGHT OR LEFT HANDED
AND YOU MAY GET A FOOTPRINT.
SO MAYBE YOU GOT A TYPE OF SHOE,
SIZE OF SHOE, DOES THAT NARROW
THIS THING DOWN ENOUGH TO GIVE
YOU A CLUE ABOUT WHO YOU ARE
CHASING?
>> THE FIRST THING IS, THEY ARE
NOT GOING TO TELL US WHAT THEY
COME UP WITH ANY OF THAT.
LIKE THE AVERAGE SHOE SIZE FOR A
MAN IS 10 AND A HALF.
SO, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEPARATE
THINGS INTO TARGETS AND IF THEY
ARE LUCKY ENOUGH, THEY WILL BE
ABLE TO FIND SOME FORENSIC
EVIDENCE EVEN IF THEY CAN REDUCE
THAT JUST TO BLOOD TYPING.
EVEN THOUGH THE D.N.A. IS NOT IN
THE SYSTEM.
SO, THEY ARE COLLECTING
INFORMATION THAT MIGHT POINT
THEM TOWARDS A SUSPECT OR BE
ACTUALLY USEFUL WHEN THEY
ACTUALLY HAVE A SUSPECT OR A
PERSON OF INTEREST FOR AN
INTERROGATION.
AND THESE ARE ALL SMALL ITEMS
AND ANOTHER ONE THAT I AM REALLY
HOPEFUL FOR IS IF THE SUSPECT
CUT HIMSELF IN THESE ATTACKS.
BECAUSE A COUPLE OF THE VICTIMS
SUPPOSEDLY HAD SOME DEFENSIVE
WOUNDS AND A KNIFE ATTACKS THAT
WOULD MOST OVEN BE A CUT TO THE
HANDS OR THE FOREARMS BECAUSE
THEY’RE PUTTING THEIR HANDS UP
STOP THE BLOW OF THE KNIFE.
IF THE SUSPECT CUT HIMSELF
CONTROLLING THE VICTIM WITH HIS
WEAK HAND, THERE’S A CHANCE HE
MIGHT HAVE STRUCK HIMSELF, SO,
THEY ARE WORKING ON ALL THESE
THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, IN MOST
CITIES, YOU’LL NEVER HEAR ABOUT
IN THE NEWS, AND IN BIG CITIES
THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
>> Jesse: THIS IS A SMALL TOWN
AND WE GET IT.
BUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS
FOLLOWING THIS BECAUSE IT’S FOUR
VICTIMS, IT’S A KNIFE ATTACK,
IT’S IN A SMALL TOWN, EVERYONE
IS SCARED AT THAT SCHOOL,
EVERYONE IS TERRIFIED OF THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST THAT THERE IS
A CEREAL KILLER WITH A KNIFE ON
THE LOOSE.
SO I HOPE THEY WRAP THIS UP
QUICK.
BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF WOODED
AREA AND THIS GUY COULD BE
ANYWHERE OR GUYS.
AND I THINK THEY ARE DOING A
GOOD JOB SO FAR BUT THEY HAVE
GOT TO CATCH A BREAK.
DETECTIVE, I HAVE GOT TO RUN,
