[Music] crime all right where we left off here Captain we have Paul John null some have
called him the Casanova killer who is on the run from police he escaped from his
detention cell and he's been on the run ever since that was in Late July where we left off we were through the month of
October and in early November nolles met British journalist Sandy fox in Atlanta
Georgia eventually the two-p parted ways but nolles picked up an acquaintance of
foxes this is Susan McKenzie and demanded sex from her at gunpoint she escaped and notified police
of this attack on November 14th Paul John nolles was in West Palm Beach Florida and the police were on to him in
fact he was stopped by an officer however nolles pointed a shotgun at the officer the officer Dove behind his
police vehicle and N sped off by now he needed to ditch the Chevy Impala as the vehicle description was
what prompted the officer to stop nolles we have this woman Susan McKenzie who thankfully gets away from nolles tells
police about the attack gives a description of nolles she very likely even knew his name at that time but more
importantly gives police the vehicle description possibly knows his name or possibly one of his his aliases he went
by Lester Daryl Gates or Daryl golden that's interesting and that's a good point there too Captain because this
Susan McKenzie as we said was an acquaintance of Sandy Fox and Sandy fox has always said that nolles introduced
himself to her as Daryl golden the key here is we but hold on a second you get to pick a name and that's
what you're picking my name is Daryl golden yeah I mean I don't know um I don't know why he came up with that name
it doesn't appear that he has a victim out there that he would have had credit cards belonging to that name or anything
that would help him along his way um it might be like a literary term or name that we don't know uh be be interesting
if anybody had some further thoughts on that but what we have here is that noes has to get rid of this Chevy Impala
because that is what is stopping him from fleeing the area he's going to keep running into trouble with the police if
he continues to drive this vehicle around what he does desperate for another vehicle to flee the area nolles
breaks into the home of 31-year-old Barbara Tucker there were three people in the house at the time that he broke
in he ties two of them up and then he kidnaps Barbara Tucker at gunpoint he robs the house and he drives off with
her and her volswagen right but here's what the problem with these spree killers are is because they're killing
to get to their next location or to keep running they have to keep leaving evidence behind so now he has a new
vehicle and new victims but he's leaving the old vehicle behind it's the old trail of
breadcrumbs what happens here Captain is one of the people tied up that he left at the home eventually is able to free
themselves they call in this abduction right this man broke into the home tied us up took one of us Barbara Tucker
31-year-old Barbara Tucker took her vehicle police show up on the scene they're trying to figure everything out
one of the first things that they notice is that Chevy Impala is parked near Barbara Tucker's
Place this was William bates's Chevy Impala from Ohio right so the terrifying thing here is police aren't going into
this going we don't know what happened they're going holy [ __ ] we know what happened we know who's responsible for
this this is a very dangerous man there's a killer on the road and we know that because he keeps dumping these
homicide victims or missing persons victims Vehicles along the way when he snatches somebody else and takes their
vehicle right so they know what he's capable of and I'm and I'm sure like you said these these devastating
crime scenes where it looks like an animal went through or a man possessed I'm sure those rumors are getting around
to law enforcement so not only is he a dangerous man but this guy could turn into a psycho pretty quickly the other
thing too is he's not he doesn't appear to be afraid of law enforcement we know that even at a young age he abducted an
officer at gunpoint we know he escaped from a jail cell after he was picked up on a you know getting in that bar fight
and then we have the situation where he is pulled over the officer doesn't really know who he's dealing with but
before he can figure it out nolles pulls a shotgun on him and the officer was so
terrified had to jump behind their vehicle so this guy is not only dangerous to the public but he's
dangerous to the men and women who are trying to apprehend him yeah and sometimes when you see images of these
individuals that you can tell they look dangerous in the case of somebody like Ted Bundy not so much and in the case
you know here PJ nlls the casting of a killer I wouldn't look at his picture and think this guy is a raging
psychopath I I would go this guy looks laidback almost Hollywood like well now with a new hostage and a new vehicle he
drives to a hotel in Fort Pierce Florida and rented a room for two nights at the
Skyway Motel under the names Mr and Mrs James Smith the next night nolles saw Barbara Tucker's picture on the news the
the woman he took hostage right he sees her picture on the 11:00 news with details about the
kidnapping this prompts nolles to tie up Tucker and then flee the area lucky for
her because we know he's left a trail of blood behind him who knows what would have happened had
he not been forced to leave and get out of there quickly or like his one victim where he tied up but didn't in I guess
intentionally murder but ended up dying from being tied up and gagged it wasn't until the next morning that Tucker was
able to free herself this was around 7 a.m. and she called the police 1 hour later okay we're on November 16th right
now so 1 hour after bar Tucker calls police at 7:00 a.m. from that Motel highway patrolman Charles Campbell
stopped the stolen Volkswagen and pulled it over the Burley Trooper unstrapped his gun but did not take it out of the
holster as the trooper approached the car nolles aimed a shotgun at him telling him to freeze nolles took the
Troopers weapon and put the officer in the patrol car nolles jumped in the driver's seat and drove drove off with
the officer now his new hostage nolles knew because he was on the run and because of the Abduction of Barbara
Tucker the traffic stop would have been called in and soon they would find the abandoned Volkswagen and no officer
Campbell right right so officer Campbell pulls this guy over called it in he knows it's only a matter of time before
backup and everybody else is on their way well but what we know and what law enforcement doesn't know is this guy is
totally fine with going down in a blaze of glory yeah well the other difficult thing too difficult for nolles is he
can't really drive around in this patrol car and go unnoticed why not as long as he doesn't turn on the
sirens he should be good well he's going to do the exact opposite of that to he's
going to turn on the sirens yeah he flips on the car's lights in the siren and he makes a traffic stop of his own
oh he pulled over a blue Torino driving the vehicle was 29-year-old businessman James Meyer no's handcuffed officer
Campbell and Meyer together in the backseat of the Torino and drives off in this new vehicle
now this time leaving the patrol car abandoned on the side of the road one thing that's terrifying about this
situation is that there were several eyewitnesses he just did this in in Broad daylight in front of a whole bunch
of other cars yeah it's like again it's that transformation into complete utter psycho it's the downward spiral and what
happens here I mean think about this if you're just a motorist on the road you notice when when a car when a when a
police vehicle or state trooper pulls somebody over it just it goes notice because your first thought is there's
the lights oh I hope they're not pulling me over oh good it's that guy right and
then all of a sudden you're paying attention and what's going on you see a man a plain closed man with long red
hair get out he takes the driver of that Torino hostage and who does he handcuff
him to a State Trooper a uniformed officer places them in the back of the civilian car and then drives off well
two more hostages yeah this time leaving the patrol car abandoned on the side of
the road nolles eventually turned onto a dirt road this is about 20 mi south of mon Georgia
there he pulled the two hostages out from the back seat and at gunpoint he walked them deep into the woods he sat
them down at a tree which he selected at random and he shot each of them at very
close range in the back of the head sadly James Meyer was just 29 years old and he was returning home to his family
in Delaware from a Florida business trip he was killed and then hero a hero just
doing his his everyday job to Serve and Protect Trooper Charles Eugene Campbell of the Florida State Patrol was killed
as well End of Watch November 16th 1974 the two captives were shot in an act of Senseless cowardice coldblooded
murder with officer Campbell's service weapon nolles once again took off police all over the area were setting up
roadblocks about 24 hours later nolles attempted to crash through one of these roadblocks but when doing so he crashed
into a tree he jumped out of the vehicle firing shots at the officers and the officers returned fire as nolles fled on
foot one of the officers however managed to shoot nolles in the leg but regardless nolles Got Away bloodied
nolles ran from police deeper and deeper into the woods well at least they hit him because I think that's at least at
least if you can hit him on some level that he's injured he's going to have to get help at some point well and luckily
he didn't end up shooting any of these officers right while he's running from the area eventually nolles was cornered
this was the following day by 27-year-old former Vietnam War veteran and Hospital maintenance worker David
Clark he's armed with the shotgun and he was there's a couple different stories for this and I always find this
interesting especially when you go back to these older news stories I mean we're
we're sitting here talking about stories from 1974 right when something later becomes
headline news none of these previous stories were headline news it's always interesting to me how then later you get
a couple different versions come out and you don't know if maybe they're putting
a little lipstick on the pig dress in the story up a little bit making it sound a little more theatrical a little
more Hollywood but the the two stories that vary here Captain is one that this man was uh David Clark that he was out
hunting and he came across noes and recognized him and understood hey I got to take this guy in the other story is
that um that he stumbled onto a a nearby Farm somebody else's farm and this David
Clark came across him regardless of what the story is the one that I tend to believe and I'm going to
roll with here because I think it would make for for a better part in our little
garage story that we're telling here David Clark comes across noes and for whatever reason noes gives up which is
something we've not seen him do yet but this David Clark manages to get him under control and walks him to the
nearest home that he could find this is not going to be a short walk either because according to most of the stories
nolles is out in the middle of the woods somewhere again well that's why I go back to the injury how bad is that leg
injured I don't know because it seems like nolles was making pretty good time that he that he was making a pretty good
pace for himself along the way because what we would later be told the short of it is Clark takes him to this this
nearby house where a phone call is made to the police and eventually nolles is apprehended by police in that manner
they state that nolles was outside of the perimeter established for The Manhunt and it would be very likely that
nolles would have escaped and that he would have been on the run after this yeah but he still has a
bull it were not for the actions of the uh the uh local citizens there I don't know for certain if there was a bullet
in his leg I mean you could get you can get grazed uh I don't have a description
a good description of the injury suffered by noes but but based off of everything we
know that he did along the way you hope he was hurting as bad as possible well yeah and and it's I think
um surprising they know that this guy they know noes is one a fugitive but on top
of that we know he is a he killed two men MH for and one is a police officer so the fact
that they didn't just instead of picking him up they just didn't put one in his head right away Judge Jerry
dun yeah so we're going to have nolles sitting in a jail cell for about a month okay this guy now is big news he's
headlines now because now we have this guy that was on the Run fugitive On The Run we know he's killed several people
along the way when when they were bringing him in there were people lining up on the sides of the streets who just
wanted to get a look at this guy they wanted to see him transported from the vehicle into the
jail well while he's sitting in jail we have Sheriff Earl Lee who says that he asked Paul John
noes how many people he had killed while he was out on the run and noes said do you know how old I was when Society put
me in prison Lee says I'm guessing you were 17 or 18 and noes replies 18 and then he wrote the number 18 in the palm
of his left hand and held it up to show the sheriff M nolles wrote the name of seven states Georgia Florida Ohio
Connecticut Texas Virginia and Mississippi in which he claimed to have killed people when he was being held he
was being charged with seven murders two in Florida one in Ohio and four in Georgia Sheriff Lee would go on to say
that he believed that that was noll's way of telling him hey I killed 18 people by writing that on the palm of
his hand and asking the question do you know how old I was when Society decided to lock me up

cheers to you captain on December 18th 1974 Sheriff Earl Lee and Georgia Bureau of Investigations agent Ronnie Angel
were tra traving down Interstate 20 with Paul John nolles nolles is wearing leg irons and handcuffs he's in the back
seat Sheriff Lee is driving and agent Angel is sitting shotgun their destination was Henry County Georgia
where nolles said he had dumped the handgun that he took off of Florida State Trooper Charles Campbell the gun
he used to kill both Campbell and the civilian Meers remember he killed both of them in Cold
Blood right somehow nolles managed to pick the lock while sitting in the back seat of
this police car he managed to pick the lock and slip out of the handcuffs freeing his right hand immediately
nolles went for Sheriff Le's revolver Lee is now wrestling with nolles trying desperately to not give up his gun and
still trying to maintain the vehicle Lee's gun goes off Angel reacts almost immediately and
fires three shots Angel put three 38 caliber bullets into Paul John nolles one hit his left temple one went into
his chest and one entered his back and exited under his left armpit nolles died on the scene law enforcement of course
never recovered the slain state troopers gun do you think this is possibly these
off officers taking the Law into their own hands he killed an officer mhm and I think it'd be real simple we're going to
transport him from one place to another place we're going to make sure it's pretty easy for him to get out of his
cuffs once he gets out of his cuffs we'll shoot him and we'll say he went for your gun done and done so if we are
to believe all the stories we're told out of Georgia with the with the situation of Paul John nolles is the way
that this story starts off is the three of them are traveling down the interstate because they're going to go
and recover this gun that he used to kill two people along the way right one of them being an officer the thing is we
have nolles who's sitting in a cell and he's talking he's opening up it's not too difficult for law enforcement or
what would eventually be the prosecutors to put together a case against noes because you have a weird
situation where you have a paper trail that be it credit cards that were stolen from people that were killed cars that
were stolen from people that were killed and then dumped along the way you have a
paper trail a blood trail but they're really piecing everything together when they're sitting back and looking at it
Captain they're going okay well we're charging him with seven murders in what was it three different states we suspect
that he probably killed in seven states so how many n how many victims does that
put us at if we can get him to talk about anything let's find out everything he's
willing to tell us but we also have to verify what is the truth and what is a lie so if he's willing to take us to
this gun if we go to where he says and we find the gun that tells us he might be willing to tell us the truth and he
might be able to tell us a lot of truths along the way and we can figure out everything this guy has done well the
only reason that he would cooperate anyways is to possibly take the death penalty off the table Yeah that would be
a possibility the other thing though too is keep in mind he I believe he never he
never said this directly that that I'm aware of or that we have on any type of record anywhere but I really believe
that he idolized people like Bonnie and Clyde and Charles Starkweather and people of that nature people that gained
Fame through their through their killings and through their uh battles with police and law enforcement and he
wanted some type of notoriety for that be it Fame while he's still alive or notoriety after his death so he might
have been willing to talk anyway in that regard because he wants people to know what he did and he wants credit for it
well and also to that point chances of him knowing where this gun would be in a location that he wasn't familiar with
doesn't seem likely even if he is telling the truth or what he believes to be the yeah but his motive could have
been as simple as okay well let's go look for this gun I'm going to talk some trash to these officers I'm going to
eventually either wrestle myself free or cause a big enough of a scene that they're going to have to put me down
then people can romanticize me more just like I did Bonnie and Clyde and individuals like that that's a
possibility and and I'll get to my my thoughts here in just a second after pointing this out because we do have
nolles his two attorneys there were two attorneys that held a press conference the day after nolles was shot to death
and they said that nolles was murdered by law enforcement they said that they belied that Georgia police intended to
kill Paul John nolles that it was a setup and an execution and that no should have been executed in prison
after serving time on death row and not in the back of a sheriff's car bringing up the question is this in fact a
Justified killing or a setup for murder right I get it and right that that makes
for the good interesting Hollywood version of the story what I think there's a problem of here is that these
officers are human beings okay they are not bulletproof they are not something out of a DC Comic or a Marvel
superhero these people are men they're they're just like you and I and the thing
is what you have here is you're probably a little bit better than we are in in your
possession traveling with you alone on the highway is a man that you know has killed multiple people he's killed an
officer he's at least more than once abducted an officer at gunpoint he's flashed guns at law enforcement he's
escaped jail and and police many times what you run the risk here of saying all right well let's uh let's set
up a situation where we get a very very dangerous individual a homicidal maniac we're going to set up a situation where
we make it easy for him to slip out of his handcuffed and make a go for our one of our guns no I don't see
on that's not how you set it up you you shoot the son of a [ __ ] and then you take off one of his cuffs well agreed
agreed but the question that that I was asked and that that several else other people have pondered is did they set it
up in a way that nolles would have started to escape on his own that he wouldn't have been able
to he wouldn't be able to resist the opportunity of escaping if you're going to execute the guy because you want to
put him down because of what horrible human being he is and knowing that he killed a fellow officer you're exactly
right you drive him out in the middle of nowhere no Witnesses you pump him full of lead and then you make it look like
that he broke free and there was some kind of escape attempt what I really think happened here is very likely what
the story that's been presented we know he's an accomplished escape artist let's
say that right he's he has escaped police multiple times I think what has happened is that went down in that
manner and very quickly these officers are going this is not a time to decide whether it's right or wrong or what's
better for anybody five minutes from now we have to react to this very dangerous
man and the only way to react in the moment is to shoot him and I think that's what happened
here well but I think there's an easy way to get good officers good people to possibly go along with this hit being
look he's been locked up before and that never works cuz he gets out and he's been on the run for so long he's killed
all these people and by the way he killed an officer mhm and those two things okay we're going to take justice
and we're going to take the law into our own hands we're going to go out there kill this guy and and rid the world of
this evil crazy psychopath well and he is an example of somebody that is not look you can't lock
somebody like nolles up and then think that Society is safe just because this man's Behind Bars this man is dangerous
as long as he is breathing air I'm not saying again I think what they they say happened is exactly what happened I
think his past Behavior shows that he will make a run for it when he can I think he attempted to do so I think he
was willing to kill both officers in the process they reacted to the situation they put him down I think more so rather
than wanting the the the fame or any part of that I think this was a strategic move by
nolles let's get me out of These Bars let's get me in you know just with two officers instead of in a jail with a
whole bunch of them that will give me the best chance to escape well yeah cuz I think he manipulated the system yeah
yeah but I think you agree with me the chances of him knowing where this gun would be oh yeah I don't think he would
have found it right yeah so now we have a dead Paul nolles and remember we have those kill tapes what what what are
referred to as the kill tapes that's really just the confession that he made that he he gave these tapes to his
attorney right what happens here is the law enforcement through the court system
they confiscate these tapes because they need to use them for investigative purposes the attorneys wanted to keep
them make some kind of book or something out of them they wanted to follow through with noll's wishes but law
enforcement and the court systems like look this is evidence of crimes we we need this we need to take these and use
these for uh future reference probably and where we see this come to be is a cold case from
1974 so we had this little story Captain this is a cold case from 1974 with a missing
13-year-old the few details that I could find says this 13-year-old Emma Jean Sanders lived with her mother and her
4-year-old sister Emma was babysitting while Mom was at work the little 4-year-old got angry when she was told
to stay in the house and she watched her older sister em emene get into a van with a bunch of her friends Emma jeene
never returned over a year later a very badly decomposed body was found in a wooded
area near mon Georgia this is in 1976 by this point and these are skeletal remains found on in Peach County at the
time investigators all they had was they knew the remains were of a young white female
then fast forward 34 years later they get some DNA from Betty wisecup Who is Emma Jean's mother they do a comparison
and now they have a match so 34 years later 36 years after the child disappeared The Remains were identified
and eventually returned to Emma Jean's Mother after all this time they had some answers but not all of them then 2 years
after that and December of 2012 using information found in Paul John noll's confessions they were able to conclude
that Paul John nolles was the killer of emene nolles confession says in August of 1974 he picked up a young female
hitchhiker named Alma so he had the name a little wrong he took her to a wooded area outside of mon Georgia this is near
where her body was found almost 2 years later wow he said say he raped and strangled her and then left the body
there in another story this is from the Charlie project Charlie project.org if anybody wants to go there and do some
snooping around we have Lillian and mlet Anderson who have been missing since August 1st 1971 missing from
Jacksonville Florida both are classified as endangered missing their ages at the
time Lillian was 11 and Mallette was was just seven their distinguishing characteristics both are Caucasian
female Lillian goes by her middle name net and most accounts refer to her by that name they have both have medical
conditions Lilian suffers from a thyroid condition and requires daily medication
and mlet has asthma and a weak heart the details of The Disappearance are as follows Annette and her sister Mallette
disappeared from Jacksonville Florida on August 1st 1974 their mother left them home alone
at approximately 6:00 p.m. while she went to care for a sick relative the girl's father was supposed to return and
arrive home from work shortly after but he got delayed by an hour or so when he did finally get home the two girls were
nowhere to be found and the family dog which usually had the run of the house was locked up in a bedroom the girls
were never heard from again that year several young girls between the ages of 6 and 12 disappeared there was a handful
of them actually but because the abductions happened in different parts of the city authorities don't believe
that they are in fact related investigators theorize Annette and Mallette were killed by Paul John nolles
A Serial murderer who was killed by police later in 1974 and on the Charlie project page for
the two missing girls we have a photo of nolles that is featured there as well and we talked about the tape recordings
the kill tapes on these tapes nolles said he abducted two girls matching the general description of the Anderson
Sisters killed them and buried them in a remote area at the West End of Commonwealth Avenue so even though their
case their cases remains unsolved it's really believed that nolles is responsible for the
deaths of these two young girls as well again we have this individual don't judge a book by a cover because if I was
going to cast this guy in a movie Just based off appearance I'd go oh we got the cool quiet guy in the corner or
possibly the stoner hippie type that's what he looked like this guy is beyond vicious it's amazing that he's not
talked about more often well and I you know I said hey go check out those videos those online
YouTube videos of the detective that worked one of the double homicide cases in Georgia and he said the same thing
he's like you know we we have all these movies and all these books about Ted Bundy you got to keep in mind that area
of the country they're very hyperfocused on Ted Bundy because he went down to Florida and killed a bunch of girls but
he says nolles in in this detective's opinion he says was more vicious than Bundy and he was every bit as dangerous
we're talking about two individuals that are very similar in a lot of ways you know escaping running uh on the run from
police killing while they're on the run you know a lot of people when they're on
the run from police they try to lay low not these guys they're out killing people they're out making way
they're out leaving a trail of blood along the way I felt like R we do have several books that were written about
nolles over the years we have Sandy Fox's book Killing Time from 1977 I read that one that's a very good
one I didn't use it for this week's recommended reading just simply because it's very
hard to get your hands on a copy of it so it's like what good is it to recommend something that nobody can can
go out and read right she did a follow-up book to that called Natural Born Killer which really that's kind of
what nolles reminds me of you know we talked so much about Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie Parker and Clyde burrow during
these episodes but he really reminds me a lot of Mickey and mallerie from the movie Natural Born Killers and so that
other book is called Natural Born Killer in love and on the road with a serial killer that was in 2004 I've not read
that one so I can't can't put my stamp on that one and then there's another book called one is Not Enough by
Georgina Lloyd that came out in 1976 the article that we referenced in the trailer was from a series of
Articles done by Paul mcll from The Daily News in New York back in early this would have been January
1975 and the series was called something like he killed so many people he lost count seems like a long title yeah well
it like I said it was a series and they used to run those sometimes in the newspapers those were always interesting
it's so there are things out there there are reference materials and books written about nolles over the years I
think that a large part of it is when you compare him and Bundy it's not that one is more notorious than the other
it's just that you have one who had such a brief short life in nolles who look I
I didn't really spend a whole lot of time Captain trying to decipher what happened out on the road that day with
those two officers I I do not like vigilante justice at all but looking at noll's track record and how many kids he
killed and and the brutal homicides we know he committed and he killed a State Trooper along the way it just didn't
feel like a valuable use of my time to determine if I thought that there was any wrongdoing at all because we know
that what led to that day was a whole lot of wrongdoing by one guy all along the way I will say that the police and
the Georgia authorities did feel that they had to kind of back up their story enough so
much so that they did present some evidence to the public which I will applaud them for that people can
consider to cover up or whatever what have you we've covered so many cases where we criticize law enforcement for
not telling us what they know when they are at a point in time where they could and so I want to applaud them for doing
that when they could here in Georgia you know they said we found a broken paperclip in the back seat of the car
that we believed is what he used to pick the lock on the handcuffs right and we found a whole bunch of scratch marks on
the handcuffs where it was looking like he was working the Cuffs as they were driving along that day but we have these
audio tapes which I think maybe the big difference between maybe the coverage of nolles and and Bundy is
simply down to technology we have video footage of Bundy a lot more video footage and him representing himself in
trial and that being a trial that is seen by people Nationwide polarizing right and maybe that's why the coverage
is more but this this this individual is very um very vicious I mean one of the vicious and because it's it's the
crimes are so different it's almost like you could put him in any scenario and he
can become a murderer mhm where some of these other Killers I mean even gasy and
some of them it's like they have to low them back to their their their layer or get them in a vehicle or invade
somebody's home this guy is like it doesn't matter how it goes down it's going to go down well and the thing the
terrifying thing for him you know he is the definition of the word dangerous because the terrifying thing about
nolles is and we kind of mentioned this briefly in episode one all these things he did along the way he they were
necessary for him to keep running from police and to stay out there and have his freedom the stealing the taking of
cars manipulating people that was all very necessary what was not necessary was the raping and killing that he added
to the whole mix he chose to kill all those people he was going to it was no look it was no mystery who was
committing a lot of these crimes along the way all he was doing was making it worse for him once he finally got caught
for this so it just really shows what kind of a coldblooded killer he truly really was and I think he fancied
himself that I think he almost felt like he was living out some kind of some either some kind of fantasy or he was
living in a Hollywood movie you talked about the aliases that he used along the way but there was a name that he liked
to call himself and he called himself Mad Dog noes and I think that's a little bit of an insight into what he thought
of himself he thought of himself as an outlaw he thought of himself as a dangerous dangerous man now the New York
daily news referred to Paul JN noll's cross country killing spree as an odyssey of casual Terror and
blood H H 18 to 35 possible victims murdered in Cold Blood I don't know if there is a such
thing as casual Terror an odyssey of casual Terror and blood I admire a great Wordsmith for I do not possess the
ability to be one just the ability to appreciate one but I think an odyssey of casual Terror and blood is way off the
Mark I like what another writer said better calling nolles a kill crazy monster and then you go to the question
of how many victims he was charged with seven there was thought that it could be
177 we have the sheriff who says nolles was hinting at 18 victims and then if you go by the kill tapes that number
goes all the way up to 35 well not to mention every state that he was in when he was on the Run anytime there was a
missing teenager or younger female he's possibly responsible for or female hitchhiker yeah so I won't go through
all the cities or all the states because the list is very very long but what we have here in regards to nolles is we
have a paper trail an extensive paper trail when he killed William Bates in Ohio he stole William bates's credit
cards and along the way he was charging food and gasoline in 37 different states
using those credit cards he was in 37 different States before they locked him up and according to detective James
Josie who worked one of the double homicide cases he said that their his Department could track nolles to 33
States and 54 cities and it's of his belief that nolles probably killed somebody in every one of those stops so
what is the correct number what is the true number of victims here we will very likely never ever
know now let's go back to Angela Samuel kovic she was the woman who hired the attorney to get nolles paroled and and
he goes out to California he ask her to marry him she says no and after a handful of days nolles is back in
Florida and he's getting ready to do a whole lot of bad bad things well after he's captured their correspondence picks
up where it left off and then shortly after he is killed she is in the papers she is in front of the cameras saying
that she believes that he was set up that he was executed in the back of a sheriff's car by law enforcement she
goes on to say I would die for him for love and to that I go what what are you talking
about because you were with this man and you said no I don't want to marry you no
I don't want to continue this relationship so it seemed to me like maybe she likes the camera as much as
nolles did maybe she likes the notoriety or fame as much as he was seeking it Angela Samuel kovic was in charge of
making the funeral arrangements for her one-time boyfriend Paul John nolles at the funeral only a dozen or two people
attended the service and at the funeral the Baptist Minister that was hired for the occasion
