Anthony Shore: The Killer That Disgusted Law Enforcement | World's Most Evil Killers | Forensic Files

[theme music] NARRATOR: In August 1994, nine-year-old Diana Rebollar left her house in Houston, Texas and headed to a grocery store
to buy some sugar. But she would never return home. There was no Diana. There was nothing.
Nobody saw her or did anything. Eventually, her body was found in a horrific fashion.
NARRATOR: Diana had become the third casualty of a twisted sexual predator named Anthony Shore, a man who
would abduct, rape, and then strangle the life out of his victims. GERALD BOURQUE: He's got this tourniquet.
He's just driving around with it in his glove box all the time? When the urge strikes him, and he's always just one insult
away from killing a woman? NARRATOR: Years later, Shore's confessions would stun investigators, who were just
beginning to find out about his terrifying history of rape and murder. NARRATOR: Anthony Shore had gone on record
and revealed himself as one of the world's most evil killers. [theme music] In October 2003, telephone repairman, Anthony Shore,
sat down with detectives in Houston, Texas and confessed to four murders and the rape
of a 14-year-old girl. NARRATOR: The 41-year-old father of two had only been captured because his DNA remained on file
after he was convicted of sexually assaulting his own daughters. Despite his shocking crimes, Shore didn't come
across as a deranged killer. He could be sitting in this room with you and me. And if he didn't open his mouth, we would
think he was just like us. He was an average-looking guy. He wasn't ugly. He wasn't handsome. He wasn't tall.
He wasn't short. He wasn't fat. He wasn't skinny. He was just a very average-looking man.
And if you put a hard hat on him and a Southwestern Bell shirt on him, you would think that you could
take him to Sunday dinner. ANDY KAHAN: His victims were young, vulnerable, slight
of build, couldn't protect themselves, couldn't fight, couldn't run, scream, yell or fight back.
And that's who he preyed upon. NARRATOR: Of Shore's four victims, three of them were children.
The youngest being just nine years old. ANDY KAHAN: I'm sorry. Anyone who kills a nine-year-old girl and sexually assaults them
and just leaves their body, anyone of that magnitude to me is the lowest of the lowest.
There's reasons that we have the death penalty. And Anthony Shore would be a poster child for why
we do have the death penalty. NARRATOR: This killer's story begins on the 25th of June 1962.
Anthony Allen Shore was born in Rapid City, South Dakota. Both his parents worked in the military.
And his father's career led to a fairly transient childhood. ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Shore moved around a lot when he
was a child and an adolescent. And the reason for this moving around was his father's job.
So I think this has two impacts. Firstly, it has an effect on how able he is to maintain
relationships with peers, because he never really gets the chance to do that. And secondly, he gets a bit of a message sent to him
subliminally through this, in that dad's job is the reason why we're moving. So dad's position is what determines what we do.
And this kind of reinforces a sort of patriarchal way of looking at the world that actually, life revolves
around what men are doing. And we just follow where they go. NARRATOR: Even at a young age, Shore
began to display worrying signs of what would come later in his life. MIKE GRACZYK: When Shore was about four or five years old,
he took a knife and killed a cat. It was a neighbor's cat. And he was upset that the cat kept trying to go home.
And he wanted the cat to be with him. So he took a knife and killed the cat. And psychologists will tell you that children, in particular,
who do great harm to domestic animals, that's not a good sign, not a good sign at all.
NARRATOR: Shore's disturbing behavior continued as the family move back and forth across the country.
GEOFFREY WANSELL: He attacked his sister with a screwdriver when he was 10. And from about the age of 10 onwards,
he would encourage his younger sister-- they used to ride their bikes together--
to knock on the doors of girls in the local neighborhood and invite them out. And then he would grope them.
ELIZABETH YARDLEY: So this shows us how manipulative and how premeditated he was even at an incredibly young age.
He's involving his sister in getting access to what were essentially victims. So he's involving other people in his ruse.
So this shows that level of manipulation and planning that is very chilling for someone this young.
NARRATOR: As Shore grew up, his parents grew apart and eventually divorced. GEOFFREY WANSELL: Essentially, what had already
been a fairly kaleidoscopic childhood became even more fractured. He didn't know where he was.
Eventually, he finds himself back in Houston, Texas, but I believe looking for some kind of roots,
looking for somewhere to be, somewhere to feel at home. NARRATOR: By 1985, 22-year-old Anthony Shore had settled down.
He was married with two children and working as a telephone repairman. I mean, he was about as nondescript as you can get.
I mean, like the proverbial person next door, you're not going to think twice about Anthony Shore.
GEOFFREY WANSELL: He was to some extent this apparently proper man. He had a job.
They had a house. There were children. But there was something off about him. NARRATOR: In September 1986, Anthony Shore
killed for the first time. He gave an account of the attack years later, where he claimed he'd struck
up a friendship with 15-year-old schoolgirl, Laurie Lee Tremblay. GERALD BOURQUE: He befriended her,
and she got comfortable with him. And then the fateful day where the weather was bad, he stops,
picks her up to give her a ride to school, and make some sexual advances. She basically told him that she wanted to stop.
And that is just a foreign language to him, because what he says goes. So when a woman challenges him, that really angers him,
that really enrages him, because his key objective all the time is to maintain control.
So if he can't maintain control by non-physical means, he is going to be violent.
MIKE GRACZYK: She was strangled. Her body was found next to a trash dumpster outside
of a Houston restaurant. NARRATOR: Laurie Lee Tremblay's body was found later that same day, the 26th of September 1986.
Shore had strangled the 15-year-old with a cotton cord, which left two distinct lines on her neck.
There were no witnesses. And the investigation stalled at an early stage. GEOFFREY WANSELL: As far as the law is concerned,
Shore has got off scot-free. No sign of anything. There is no conclusive evidence.
We were in the very early days of DNA. So the tracks were, to say the least, muddied.
And there was no clarity. NARRATOR: It was a promise that Anthony Shore would not be able to keep.
Over five years passed, in which Shore later admitted, he struggled to keep a lid on his perversions.
NARRATOR: But by the 16th of April 1992, the 30-year-old killer could no longer contain his wicked impulses.
GEOFFREY WANSELL: Maria Carmen del Estrada, always known to her friends as Carmen.
She was 21, small, 5 foot 1, only weighed 104 pounds, olive skin, almond eyes. NARRATOR: Shore pulled into the parking
a Dairy Queen restaurant on Westview Drive in Houston. Carmen Estrada had no idea she was just moments
away from being murdered. NARRATOR: Shore strangled Carmen to death with a tourniquet,
a different method to the cotton cord he'd used almost six years beforehand. MIKE GRACZYK: Police said that her ligature around her neck
was so tight that it almost couldn't be seen. It was embedded so deeply into her neck.
NARRATOR: Just as he done with Laurie Lee Tremblay, Shore left the body of Maria del Carmen Estrada
in the parking lot. She was found just hours later. MIKE GRACZYK: Investigators were able to collect
from beneath one of her fingernails a speck of evidence that they ran DNA tests on.
At the time, there was no match. ELIZABETH YARDLEY: At this point in time, Shore is lethal to women.
He has been violent towards them. He's killed them. And he's got away with it up until this point.
So he feels that he can behave however he likes and get away with it. NARRATOR: Another 18 months passed before Shore
was ready to strike again. By the 19th of October 1993, he had his sights firmly set on his next victim,
a 14-year-old schoolgirl. ANDY KAHAN: Anthony Shore, you know, working as a telephone
repairman, would be able to go in all these different neighborhoods. And so evidently, he scoped out a young girl
and kind of knew her patterns, when she would come home from school, if anybody else was home with her.
And he just decided, you know what? You're going to be next. NARRATOR: In a change to his usual MO of attacking victims
in his car, Shore put on a bandanna to cover his face and broke into the young girl's home.
And so she came home from school one day. He was waiting inside the home. When she got inside the house, he tied her up
and sexually assaulted her. MIKE GRACZYK: She does everything she can to fight him off.
And, indeed, finally does fight him off. And he screams after her. You tell anybody about this, and I'll kill you.
Well, to our eternal credit, she kept her nerve and also kept her life. GERALD BOURQUE: I always wondered,
why didn't he kill her? And it's just obvious, she didn't know who he was. She didn't know who the perpetrator was.
Tremblay knew who the perpetrator was. Carmen Estrada knew who the perpetrator was.
He was killing them to protect himself. He didn't have to protect himself from this girl.
She didn't know who he was. He had a mask on. So he didn't have to kill her, which
raises all kinds of issues. How many other victims are out there that didn't come forward?
[music playing] NARRATOR: Shore's home life was just as chaotic as his secret one.
He'd split up with his wife but kept custody of his two children, Amber and Tiffany.
While projecting a public image of an upright citizen, behind the scenes, he was treating
his daughters terribly. ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Shore's children had a really miserable childhood.
He was absolutely brutal towards them. There was abuse. There was neglect. They had to eat food that had ants crawling all over it, that
had gone past its sell-by date. They had to use the same water when they had a bath.
Their clothes didn't get washed. So when they were at school, the other children
would make fun of them. And Shore was acutely aware of all of this stuff. So he knew that actually, by sending
his children to school in that state, they would be bullied. They would be excluded.
And I think there's a sadistic side of him that really takes pleasure in all of that.
But he sees his children not as sentient beings who are autonomous individuals. He sees them as things that he owns.
And he has a right to treat them however he wants to. NARRATOR: Shore soon moved on from the breakdown
of his marriage, when he met a new girlfriend 14 years younger than himself, high school senior, Amy Lynch.
He saw her photograph in her father's house. He was attending to the telephones and thought, oh, she looks wonderful.
And believe it or not, she was 18. ELIZABETH YARDLEY: So it's almost like he's shopping.
And he's looking in a catalog. And he's selecting something that he wants. This is how he sees women.
They are things to be acquired, things that he gets to own and possess. And this is exactly how he saw her.
NARRATOR: A new, younger girlfriend did nothing to abate Shore's sexual deviance,
which was about to reach new depths of depravity. On the 7th of August 1994, nine-year-old Diana Rebollar
left her house with $3 on an errand for her mother. She headed to the local grocery store on North Main street
to buy some sugar. GERALD BOURQUE: So she walks down there, she buys the sugar. She's walking back.
And somewhere on the walk back, she's literally kidnapped off the sidewalk in broad daylight.
NARRATOR: When Diana didn't return from the store, her distraught mother began a desperate search
for her daughter. ANDY KAHAN: First, they went around to the neighbors, seeing if anybody ever seen her.
They retraced her steps. And eventually, the police were called. There were a lot of people in the area
that were aware of what was happening, aware that she was missing. NARRATOR: Diana Rebollar had been snatched
and murdered by Anthony Shore. The nine-year-old had been sexually assaulted and then
strangled with a tourniquet. It's a depraved, obscene crime to snuff out this young life.
For what? For is sexual pleasure? Is that what's really going on all the time. This is about lust for young women.
It's a tragedy. It's a disgrace. ANDY KAHAN: There was no direct, physical evidence.
Obviously, later, it was determined that she was extremely, viciously raped in every ways
that you can't even imagine, what you would do to a nine-year-old girl. NARRATOR: Diana's body was found the following day,
2 and 1/2 miles away from where she'd been abducted. The tourniquet, a bamboo stick attached to a length of rope,
was found around Diana's neck. Diana's murder galvanized the city of Houston. Then, Diana became everybody's young girl, young daughter.
It really touched a nerve. People were really on heightened alert back then. And they didn't know what to think.
And, of course, there were no answers. NARRATOR: Anthony Shore had stooped to a new level of wickedness, and once again
managed to escape justice. By 1995, the 32-year-old had moved his new girlfriend
into the family home. But his two daughters, 10-year-old Amber and 9-year-old Tiffany, were about to expose their father
as the monster that he was. Shore had been molesting them for years. ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Shore's daughters
disclosed to the school nurse that they were being abused. And this was a really big thing for them to do.
This would have taken an immense amount of courage. But when child protective services
came around to the house to investigate further, they denied it. They said that they hadn't been truthful about this.
And then it kind of went away. NARRATOR: Terrified of speaking out against their father, Amber and Tiffany changed their story.
Once again, Anthony Shore was getting away with the most wretched of crimes. ELIZABETH YARDLEY: Shore was so confident in the power that he
had over his children that he never in a million years thought that they were going to speak up about their abuse.
And when they are in his house, they are dependent on him. They need him, essentially.
So he's their tormentor, but he's also their provider. So he thinks that he's got the perfect balance there.
Well, I'm sure he felt that he could walk on water. There was nothing anybody was going to do to stop him.
NARRATOR: And soon, Anthony Shore would kill again. On the 26th of June 1995, 16-year-old Dana Sanchez was
reported missing by her mother. 10 days later, on the 6th of July, the teenage runaway was approached by Shore.
NARRATOR: Shore claimed that he pulled his van into a parking lot and began to try
and kiss the 16-year-old. GERALD BOURQUE: She's sort of a savvy woman. She's not naive.
So she started to-- look, I got a boyfriend. I don't need any of this. That didn't do anything to mitigate his actions.
It just emboldened him. NARRATOR: Shore strangled Dana with another makeshift tourniquet, made up
of nylon rope and a toothbrush, before driving her body towards a remote field. NARRATOR: Unlike his previous victims,
Shore dumped Dana's body in a less public place. Eight days later, she still hadn't been discovered.
ANDY KAHAN: Here's the ego, maniac part of Shore. He was pretty much, what I understand, a news junkie.
He would follow the news. And I guess he didn't see any news on this. And if you're going to commit these types of murders,
you're going to want credit. And so he actually called an assignment editor at our NBC affiliate KPRC.
And she recognized pretty quickly that the person calling her, that was giving her clues as to where they might find a body,
was the actual killer. NARRATOR: On the 14th of July, investigators headed out to the secluded location
where Shore had told them to look. ANDY KAHAN: They actually went out there looking around.
And sure enough, there is the body of Dana Sanchez. And it was-- keep in mind, when a body is
out in a field for a week it's not going to be in very good condition. And it was just a horrific state that her body was found in.
NARRATOR: It appeared that Anthony Shore was now gloating. Despite investigators linking the murders of Carmen Estrada,
Diana Rebollar, and Dana Sanchez due to their similarities, a task force failed to find a suspect.
In 1997, Shore married his girlfriend, Amy Lynch, it was an apparent fresh start for the 35-year-old, which
meant there was no room for his daughters from his previous marriage. GEOFFREY WANSELL: Shore decided that he and Amy should begin
their married life, in a sense, on their own and dispatched his daughters, Amber and Tiffany,
to their grandmother in Sacramento, California. NARRATOR: Shore had no idea this would be
the beginning of his downfall. While in California, the two girls finally felt brave enough
to speak out about the sexual abuse they'd suffered at the hands of their father.
And I think it was Tiffany, who's the youngest, told her aunt, daddy's been doing these things to me.
So then the aunt calls her mom, grandma. And says, look, this is what Tiffany just told me.
So then, grandmother goes to Amber and says, well, what do you know about this and this?
And then Amber spills the beans on her dad. NARRATOR: In January 1998, Shore pled no contest to two charges
of indecency with a child. He had molested his own flesh and blood for almost a decade,
but he escaped imprisonment. GEOFFREY WANSELL: These girls are saying that their father
drugged them, raped them, assaulted them, exposed himself to them. What do the authorities do?
They give him a $500 fine and eight years probation. But they do place him on the sex offenders register.
And significantly, very significantly, they take his DNA. NARRATOR: Shore lost his well-paid job.
And by 2003, he and Amy were divorced. He hadn't killed anyone for eight years and was seemingly laying low.
But unbeknownst to Shore, a new investigation into the deaths of Carmen, Diana, and Dana had begun.
So by this time now, you had three murders that were basically kind of lumped in.
And you had detectives at this time that decided to form a cold case task force between the Sheriff's
Department in the Houston Police Department, looking into these unsolved cases. It could be the same killer.
Let's get together, and work on it. NARRATOR: In October 2003, 11 years after the murder
of Carmen Estrada, detectives revisited the DNA that was discovered beneath her fingernails.
ANDY KAHAN: By now, you have more advanced technology. DNA is much better than it was 10-plus years ago.
And again, they send the sample off. And this time, CODIS gets a hit. And bingo, bango, everything explodes.
NARRATOR: On the 24th of October 2003, Anthony Shore was finally arrested for murder.
DNA under Carmen's fingernails was a match to the 41-year-old. GERALD BOURQUE: He was arrested, taken into custody.
He waived his Miranda rights and gave his confession. NARRATOR: During open and frank interviews with detectives,
Shore confessed to the murders of Carmen Estrada, Diana Rebollar, and Dana Sanchez as well as the 1986 killing
of Laurie Lee Tremblay, and the rape of a 14-year-old schoolgirl in 1993. The reason that Shore confesses
is partially because he wants the acknowledgment. He wants the recognition that he's the one
who's committed these crimes. But also, there is an element of wanting to control the narrative.
Because by confessing, by giving his side of the story, it's his version of events that is going to stick.
He silenced these victims. They're dead. They can't speak anymore. So by seizing the narrative by becoming the storyteller,
he remains in control. NARRATOR: After getting away with murder for so many years,
Anthony Shore's vile crimes had finally come to light. GERALD BOURQUE: Well, he was charged with capital murder.
The reasons are very clear. They had DNA. They had a confession. That was an easy case.
That was a bing, bang, we got you. ANDY KAHAN: Eventually, they charged him with the one murder
officially. That's what he's charged with capital murder of Maria del Carmen Estrada, because that's the one they
had the most evidence on, because that's the one you had the DNA. And they decide, as a capital case,
you're going to seek the ultimate punishment. And in Texas, the ultimate punishment
is the death penalty. And the death penalty in Texas is carried out. NARRATOR: In October 2004, Anthony Shore was due in court,
charged with capital murder. In his confessions to detectives the previous year,
the killer had claimed that a malevolent force had driven him to take the lives of his victims.
GEOFFREY WANSELL: When Shore is confronted with his crimes, he says, I have evil in me.
I have to keep the evil at bay. As if some dark hand stretches up into his body and squeezes him, and says, you must
kill innocent, young women. ELIZABETH YARDLEY: I think this is very kind of poetic.
It's very symbolic. But you've got to look at what it does. It detracts our attention away from the fact
that he decided to do the things that he did. When he's talking about this idea of inherent evil,
we are kind of conjuring up images of something that's beyond his control. But he very much knew what he was doing.
NARRATOR: The first part of Shore's trial would determine whether or not he was guilty of the capital murder of 21-year-old Carmen Estrada.
Considering Shore had confessed to killing her, it would be a near-impossible task for public defender,
Gerald Bourque. GERALD BOURQUE: It was very clear from the get-go we weren't going to be walking out the back door with a not
guilty. They had the DNA. They had it locked down. Our experts agreed with their experts, so here we are.
ANDY KAHAN: There was no Anthony Shore might be innocent. He was guilty. And Shore knew it.
So it was anticlimactic, the trial. Most capital murder cases are pretty lengthy.
I've been to many of them. But this one was over in 1, 2, 3 days. It was over. It was what you would call a slam dunk.
NARRATOR: Anthony Shore was promptly found guilty of the murder of Carmen Estrada.
The trial now moved into the second stage, which meant the 14-year-old girl who was raped by Shore in 1993,
would come face-to-face with her attacker once more. ANDY KAHAN: In Texas, you have two parts.
You had the guilt and innocence part, and then you have the punishment part. And punishment part is where you can bring
in all the extraneous other offenses in anything about Shore's character. And they actually had the young girl, who at that time
was in her 20s, testified to being sexually assaulted by Shore. And she was on the stand.
And she was able to identify. And it's very rare that you have someone who survives a serial killer.
It's not often that people survive that. And yet, this brave, young lady was able to do that and point to the person that did this to her.
NARRATOR: During the punishment phase of the trial, Shore's daughters also took to the stand
and spoke out against their father and former tormentor. I seem to remember, the only times
that I really saw emotion was when his two daughters were testifying. And I remember tears in his eyes, welling up in his eyes.
I would say from a lawyer's standpoint, sitting in the courtroom, it was a surreal moment.
Lots of thoughts running through my mind for the girls and for him. And what's he thinking?
And does he really know now what he's done to them, how it's going to play out, what additional damage is being done
to them at this very moment? NARRATOR: As the punishment phase of the trial progressed,
42-year-old Shore seemed resigned to his fate. ANDY KAHAN: I think he knew what the outcome was going to be.
And I think in his own mind, he actually thought that he deserved to be put to death,
because I've not seen in other cases-- I've not seen where someone just lays down and just
says, do what you want with me. At least there's some sort of, I'm going to fight for my life.
He didn't even fight for his life. NARRATOR: On the 21st of October 2004, the jury were ready to deliver their verdict.
The jury goes back to deliberate whether or not they're going to give him the death penalty or life.
Seriously, I could have gone down the cafeteria, ordered a grilled cheese, and come back,
and the jury was ready. It was that quick, within an hour, which is almost unheard of.
They came back and gave him the ultimate punishment, which was the death penalty.
And I think Shore pretty much was resigned by that time. He was going to death row where he belonged.
NARRATOR: Years later while on death row, Shore admitted to carrying out many more heinous crimes.
GEOFFREY WANSELL: He then confesses in the wake of his conviction to 60 further rapes.
He's clearly been a sexual predator of the highest order over many years and throughout that area of Texas.
ELIZABETH YARDLEY: And I think there's definitely an element of numbers here. And these offenders will get competitive.
They will want to be seen as the baddest, the biggest, the most prolific. So I think that's what's going on here.
This is his narcissistic element coming through again. He wants recognition for all of these evil things he's done.
NARRATOR: 14 years after his conviction for murder, 55-year-old Anthony Shore was finally
given an execution date. Victim advocate, Andy Kahan had a front row seat in Huntsville, Texas on the 18th of January 2018.
Now, unlike TV, here's what happens when you're in the chamber. Anthony Shore at that time is already tied
down, strapped in on a gurney. It's not like you see-- "Dead Man Walking," you know, where they march somebody in.
And it's not like that at all. It's very choreographed and concise. NARRATOR: Journalist Mike Graczyk,
in his role as a media witness, was also in attendance. I remember that his voice was choking as he
was giving his final statement. And in the statement, he said he was sorry, and that no amount of words could undo what he had done.
And he said, that's all warden. And at that time, the lethal dose of pentobarbital begins.
ANDY KAHAN: Well, and I remember, he, in a very Southern twang, he says, ooh-wee.
Or he made out some weird, ooh-wee, I feel it. I feel it. And that was it. NARRATOR: At 6:28 PM local time, Anthony Shore
was pronounced dead. The man who ruined so many lives had finally been laid to rest.
And then they asked me to address the media on behalf of the families. And I had the pictures of the four girls.
And I just said, this is their day. This day is about Laurie, Carmen, Dana, Diana.
I said, this is not about Anthony Shore. This is about these four young girls. This is why we are here.
And I remember saying, and the reign of terror of Anthony Shore is finally over.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief. He will no longer harm anybody again. And all these families can go to wherever their loved
ones are buried or kept and say, justice is finally served on this day. NARRATOR: Shore continually got away with murder
for over a decade before his deception was undone by the two people he thought he had full control over.
GERALD BOURQUE: His daughters, they're the real heroes in this situation. They don't even know the lives that they have saved, you know.
Let's assume they don't come forward, then what happens? Anthony Shore is still out here.
We don't have his DNA. We don't know who he is. He may still be alive, running the streets,
and doing things to young women. They're the heroes. They literally saved lives.
NARRATOR: Anthony Shore preyed upon the young and vulnerable. He would try and worm his way into the lives of his victims.
And when his feelings weren't reciprocated, he would squeeze the life out of them.
He destroyed the lives of strangers and also his supposedly nearest and dearest.
Shore was a dangerous sexual predator, who will be remembered as one of the world's most evil killers.
