girl hurt there can you tell me what happened to her just hurry she's laying on the ground in the back by by theack
by the what's the address I don't know who are you [Music] this week's True Crime Story starts off
on December 31 1980 we are going to go to one of the big Twin Cities St Paul Minnesota it's dark out and it's quite
cold the Minnesota winners are typically cold and the wind can feel almost sharp
when it hits you so turn up those collar it's also New Year's Eve and there is always a certain level of excitement
that comes with this evening as many prepare to hit a stop or two and partake in the festivities leading up to and
just after midnight for some this night can be quite magical or at least filled with much
anticipation so on this night we have a young woman 20-year-old Karen poto she is a university of Steven Point student
she's walking alone she has left a New Year's Eve party now this is not such a great idea it it looks like she left the
party after getting into some kind of argument with the people that she was attending the party with now I am unsure
of where Karen was heading to but keep in mind she is actually about 3 hours from where she is living at the time
she's in the big city that night to celebrate the coming holiday and the stroke of midnight and now after an
argument she's out walking in the cold by herself so we can surmise that she did not have a vehicle with her based
off of what is about to happen so maybe she was just going to go and blow off some steam but in all likelihood the
only people that she knew in the big city of St Paul on that night were the people at the party inside of the
nightclub that she just walked out of a man spots the young woman walk alone in the cold in the dark and offers her a
ride or at least an opportunity to get into the vehicle and get out of the cold Karen accepts the offer she is picked up
this is near Pierce Butler Road in Syndicate Avenue intersection in St Paul Minnesota and that was all that the man
needed was simply to get her into his car now she was going to be his not too long long later this is approximately
about 3:00 a.m. St Paul 911 emergency services receives a call the caller's voice was
seemingly male but the voice was in a higher pitch and the caller sounded like he was
shaking it was obvious to the dispatcher that the male caller likely had either been crying or attempting to disguise
his voice or possibly both the man was calling to tell them quote there is a girl hurt there she
needs help and now the caller described the location of where the girl could be found asking for an ambulance the
dispatcher asked for details about what had happened to the girl and what's the caller's name what is the girl's name
but the caller with the very strange voice failed to provide much information beyond what we've already
discussed and again the dispatcher is asking the caller who he is and the caller immediately hangs up the
phone yeah because if you're the dispatcher you're wondering is this a Good Samaritan that came across a victim
and is calling for help or is this the attacker yeah and on top of that you want to know as much as you can about
the person who is hurt as described by the caller you want to know as much about the caller what's the relationship
like you're saying was he the attacker or is he just trying to help out but also within that call Captain the caller
is calling because he's requesting assistance and help for this woman he refers to her as a girl but he's
slightly vague on where the the woman would be found so part of that is probing the caller for additional
information so you can get the ambulance get the EMTs as close to where this woman can be
found as soon as possible and as we said he doesn't provide much in the way of detail regarding where she can be found
exactly so Emergency Services they're going to race to the general location that was provided to them by this
strange caller with a quick search they located a woman who was very badly beaten and and without going into too
much detail to describe her as very badly beaten would be a huge understatement most of the injuries were
to the head and parts of the body but but mostly the head she was unresponsive when they arrived but she's
still breathing and she was actually barely breathing very faint breathing but she was still alive so Emergency
Services located what would appear to have been the lifeless body of a young woman this is near a set of train tracks
running near the mberg machine shop so so this is today and I'm sure back then as well Captain quite a busy area of St
Paul for folks that live there they will likely know this area the the business is
mulberg manufacturing this is a business located on Syndicate Street this is an area
filled with both businesses but it's also quite industrial as well so they find her body near these train
tracks near the mulberg manufacturing and I'm only repeating that name because it it will play a role or at least I
believe in this case as we continue going through some of the details here and it would appear
to the police that not only where we found her is going to be important but they also believe that that's likely
where the attack went down that she was attacked in the same area where we're finding her her wounds are very severe
and so I'm sure there's some evidence that blood evidence that this attack happened there yeah so the man who gave
Karen a ride he drove her to this location the train tracks are behind this manufacturing business he attacked
her severely even though she is still alive thankfully when help gets there she's still alive there's no way I I'm
guessing there's no way that that he thought that she was still alive or or or maybe he did and we can we can get
get into that as we go as well but the descriptions I have seen regarding her lifethreatening injuries there's no way
that I would have walked away from there thinking she was alive or responding to
the scene thinking that she was alive when attempting to go and helper somehow really only by the grace of God and with
the help of some very incredible nurses and doctors at the nearby hospital and don't forget about those First
Responders that that helped so much as well this poor woman survived the attack I'm very happy to report that she is
still alive today but we are talking about a very long recovery from very very serious injuries police once they
are able to speak with Karen because she's unconscious for quite some time So eventually with the assistance of
medical staff and really trying to help her eventually they will be able to interview her but she's not really able
to be much in the way of any help or able to provide much information to help lead
police to her attacker she doesn't know who he was can't really give much in the
way of details of that evening she gets into a car to get a ride from a stranger so you'd go well they're pretty
close so she should have got a good look at him but you don't sit down in somebody's car and just stare at them
you look forward you don't want to be rude or weird the other thing too is and I'm not trying to put any of this on the
victim because I really believe that the lack of recall that she has here is simply 100% from the injuries we're
talking about severe head trauma here but it's New Year's Eve right so she's maybe be slightly impaired anyway from
the drinking yeah and from we know she was at a party but I think what you're hoping for here Captain is like
something that we've talked about and we discuss regularly in these cases because
you and I are both intrigued by the investigation The Manhunt how do we find who's responsible what what evidence and
what strategies can we imply to our investigation to figure out who is the bad guy and how we can take him off of
the streets and so you're very likely when you when you sit down with her finally after waiting all of this time
you're going if she can just give us some kind of description of his vehicle maybe that will give us and put
us on the path to finding to lead police to this attacker who look if we're able
to catch up with him he is most certainly going to be charged with attempted murder here this is far beyond
assault yeah if you're law enforcement you're sitting there going okay we have a
severely beaten victim if I'm law enforcement I'm going this is not just assault to me this is attempted murder
yeah but we have our victim she got into the car with a stranger okay so before the attack happened do you
remember what the car looked like again something that could be difficult for the victim because like we said the
weather wasn't great so a lot of times when the weather's not great and you're walking outside you keep your head down
it's the way it works so you get in this vehicle you know that you're probably not going to get a great description of
this individual because of the attack and so then the other question is okay can we get anything to identify the
the vehicle but is there any other items that we could identify the attacker you know that
whether that's a a beard or a weird necklace or a tattoo or maybe even a a smell or a
sound or something that you heard that could help us identify this attacker so the way that this plays out and here's
here's where I would take the investigation and I'm sure that they probably did every bit of this and
Beyond you know as we said she does not remember the attack itself and really most of the details leading up to the
attack so now you're left with a couple of a couple of scenarios one being that she lives 3 hours away she's in she went
to the big city for the big party for the big night New Year's Eve right yeah and she's there with a couple lady
friends of hers so you're probably working this case very quickly going well we don't have any of her friends or
Social Circle beyond the the people that she traveled with to interview because they're not there they're not present
she's she's in town for them night on top of that you don't you're working this and probably very quickly going to
summarize that neither of the people she was traveling with had any level of involvement so now you're left with the
idea of okay what do we got well one of the things we do have is we know that it
was after midnight that she's picked up roughly 1:00 a.m. so you can go and you can try to interview people that may
have been in the general area at the time of when she was picked up hoping to get that vehicle description
but let's talk about the crime scene you know unfortunately our victim's not able
to help out a whole lot with who the attacker was but also the crime scene was not incredibly helpful as well that
at the crime scene there is little in the way of evidence for police to work with there's no weapon found and really
nothing at all left behind by the attacker and the victim can't help because of her horrible injury suffered
during the attack so that case is going to run out of leads real quick well like
you were saying she goes there with a group of females but it's very unlikely because we have the victim saying I got
in the car with a stranger so it's very unlikely that if somebody had it out for
her in her normal life and her normal Social Circles that somebody followed her all the way into the city so so law
enforcement is dealing with two big hurdles one the victim doesn't remember most of of what happened that night and
two we we could surmise that it's a stranger on Stranger attack shortly after the attack like we said there's
that call there's that 911 call the caller described the location or attempted to describe the location where
this hurt girl could be found that he says that he hurt or or that that you can easily connect the dots that he
probably did hurt her being that when asked who he is he hangs up the phone so now really all you're working with is
this 911 call so you have this 911 call this is a lead for them to track down now they do figure out captain that the
call came from a pay phone located not terribly far from this crime scene right the recording of the male 911 caller
with the very strange voice was and I would obviously say that it's him that was the as salent but of course police
would not at the time be in any way to say with 100% certainty that the caller and the attacker were one and the same
but that is your only really lead and true lead at the time again it becomes complicated for law enforcement because
is this somebody that is familiar with the area or is this somebody that doesn't even live close to this area you
know let let me go far away from my personal location to commit a violent crime and then
I just think there's a lot of questions with this call why did the why did the attacker call 911 anyways you would
think that the purpose of the attack was for him to kill her so why would he want
any chance of her to survive and again he doesn't know what she will remember and what she won't remember right it's
almost like uh question of is this guy so remorseful right away that he needs to get her
help and then is this his real voice or is this some kind of Disguise if you take the caller at his word which it's
going to be incredibly difficult to take him at his word but if you take him at his word that is what it sounds like to
me that his motivation is to to get the girl that he just attacked some help so right either he's remorse ful like you
said but also it may just be something of saving his own conscious and soul from having a murder on on his shoulders
rather than this assault as deadly as it was but if he can if he can get emergency Personnel to her and and save
her life then maybe in some selfish way he's going to not feel so bad for what he did and I want to hone in on
something that you were talking about just a second ago with the location and you're spot on there because the you
know I I spent a good deal of time trolling around on some maps uh of St Paul looking at the location of where
she was picked up and the location of where she was found and to me being an outsider I've I've never been to the
Twin Cities but being an outsider it looked to me like one wouldn't have to necessarily be familiar with the area or
from the area to have chosen this site if I were looking for a secluded location that was somewhat not too far
away from where I picked her up I think anybody could have really found their way to this spot so really the location
of where she's found doesn't to me seem to be very helpful for investigators either one of the things that we learned
from mind Hunter is that they classify these types of killers where they go well this guy's organized or
disorganized I feel like there's this this strange type of killer you have like a Ted Bundy type where there's
almost no remorse I have this urge to kill I'm going to kill at will not feel too bad about it afterwards
almost uh Relish in the joy of talking about the crimes or reliving the crimes in my own mind and then there's other
killers and I would say like dmer would be a decent example of somebody that had
these urges knew the urges were bad and just couldn't control the urges and so then when the crime took place I think
it was a a double-edged sword where there's probably a part of him that enjoyed reliving the fantasy of the
killing and there was a part of him that the reliving of the killing actually h wanted him does does any of that make
any sense to you well it makes sense in that I've reviewed the same information I don't you know they call it psycho for
a reason right and and and so it's hard for us normal guys to really kind of dis
dissect these individuals even even if you we're talking about one single attack here but it's it's weird right
like I'm a big I I respect the organized and disorganized classification of attack hackers killers
serial killers but keep in mind you know eventually Douglas comes out with the idea well that there's a mixed offender
that is both organized and disorganized so that kind of turns that idea on its head but the other thing you mentioned
dmer you mentioned Ted Bundy both of those individuals started off very organized and then
later because they killed for so long undetected and H's case specifically he becomes a frenzy killer yeah after after
a good period of time and a frenzy Killer By Nature is disorganized he's spiraling completely out of control and
like dmer said after his second murder which he doesn't even really recall killing the man right he wakes up and
finds the body so that in a sense is disorganized but he he says well that's when I just decided that uh I'm I'm just
going to go for it right I I felt remorse for the first two killings that I did but after this I I know who I am
and I'm going to continue to do this and so he he devolves into a disorganized killer with people escaping from his
apartment and then and then like we talked about last week with Robert Pickton yeah he his own words to the uh
the informant to the cop undercover cop that they they put in a jail cell next to him or with him while he awaits trial
he tells the cop well I killed 49 and I would have killed got to 50 but I got sloppy at the end so I really think that
all of these guys on a long enough timeline no matter how organized they are they become disorganized the one
exception would be somebody like a BTK but also keep in mind he really even though he was still unidentified and not
apprehended at the time he really had stopped killing essentially at that point so maybe he never worked himself
to the point of becoming disorganized well I think that was part of the fetish for him was the planning and the
organization getting all the items ready that he was going to take and not take in surveillance the house and I I think
that's part of what he enjoyed about the whole process but but I think you you you bring up a good point I I don't know
I guess that's my question is we have some of these killers that seem like they have no remorse at all and then I
would argue like with with dmer it wasn't so much of like I'm just going to kill people and not feel bad about it I
think it was more a sense of I'm tired of fighting the urge off so when I have the urge I'm just going to let it happen
but I still think there was probably some remorse there for him but I think that's like you said there's different
level levels of psychic but I think that's very fascinating you're absolutely right and that that is
one thing that makes dmer I wouldn't say oneof a kind but certainly unique yeah is that the the
pleasure sorry for these terms but I mean we're we're trying to we're trying to Define some of this and and look at
these and examine some of this we're all adults here the pleasure of killing for
dmer far outweighed the sadness and remorse that it brought him right and that and that's what I think is so
fascinating that this and they all talk about it almost all of them talk about there's some kind of sensation there's
some kind of urge that they feel well and in this case that we're talking about here today from you know New
Year's Eve New Year's Day 1980 to 1981 with this particular attack or with what little information we have to go on
I would say in this instance we're probably talking about somebody that is fairly organized just by reviewing what
limited information we have right like so the our victim here Karen she was not beat with with hands and fist right she
was beat with a with a with an an object and it was likely a atire iron or crowbar something of that nature a metal
object because her head was her head was split open the brain was exposed when the responders arrived on the scene and
so that means that this attacker had the weapon already with him so that falls immediately into the
organized killer category and the other thing too is the call comes in at roughly 3:00 a.m. remember she's picked
up at roughly one yeah so there's not a whole lot of time what I'm getting at here is that he picked her up and once
she was in the car it seems to me it looks to me like he went pretty quickly to this location and and started
attacking her so that shows some level of planning or forethought in advance yeah because remember the Lauren
spor case and they they picked up a guy I'm sorry I'm going to be blurry on some
of these details but when they were studying the surveillance tapes and trying to figure out what happened to
Lauren spor they found a guy that he was convicted of many crimes before and he was just driving around in a van all
night and they see his van after night they see his van on surveillance and then when they pick him up and go what
are you doing you know and he's like this is one of the things I do and I'm not the only person out there doing that
looking for opportunities maybe they don't take the opportunity but they're driving around looking for that
opportunity so like you said if this guy's familiar with the location it this guy could be driving this location every
night for a month so now he knows once I do get a victim in my car I know of several places I could take them so like
you said there I think that's again a level like you said of uh organization [Music]

there at the best [Music] price all right we are back cheers mates talk hands in the air cheers to
everyone cheers to the people in the back now we're going to go we're going to fast forward here a few months to
late spring early summer when we are going to have a similar and equally bizarre situation
again this is in St Paul Minnesota so this will put us captain at June 3rd 1981 W
interestingly to me both of those dates with the previous victim and on this date as well the both of these dates
that we've discussed are Wednesdays so Wednesday July 3rd 1981 we have 18-year-old Kimberly Compton now
she's from pepen Wisconsin and I hope I'm saying that correctly now a lot of the sources will say that Kimberly
Compton was a student but I I know captain that that the young Kimberly Compton had just graduated high school
and was not yet set up for further schooling instead she had decided that it was time to go off and find a place
of work for her she had previously held a waitress job for a short period of time she liked working and excelled at
it but because as she put it there was nothing for her in the very small town actually the village of Pepin population
890 people she was going to take her talents to the big city the Twin Cities where she was
sure to find a job her grandfather said that the youngster had proven to be a hard worker and proven to be fine at
adapting to new surroundings so that was no trouble but what he worried about was
that Kimberly was far too friendly Kimberly's grandfather Theodore Compton said quote I don't give a damn who it
was sh stop and talk to them end quote Kimberly ventured off to St Paul Minnesota in 1981 population over
270,000 people so a very big difference from her small village in Wisconsin now this poor girl just had
stepped off of the bus had just stepped off of the bus to St Paul when she has the terrible and unfortunate luck of
crossing paths with the last person on that day in St Paul that any young woman would want to find themselves in the
company of so Kimberly steps off of the bus getting her into town she rented a locker at the bus depot she put some of
her belongings in this locker and then she walks across the street from the bus depot to a place called Mickey's Diner
she was looking to get something to eat after her journey she's going to grab a bite to eat this Mickey's Diner is legit
Captain it's been there serving up good food since 1960 still around today she sits down and orders that day's Diner
special she gets her food and during the course of enjoying her meal a man approaches her table and the dude seems
friendly enough he ask if he can sit down and chat with her she's sitting alone he sits down and they start
talking she tells him she's very new to town in fact she had just arrived the man offers to drive her around St Paul
to show her some of the city then without any influence from the victim other than this man's own sad Madness
once they're out there driving around he attacks her so they're out by this spot
on the river he took her to a spot on the river and she's sitting by the river this spot where her new city guide chose
the friendly man from the diner had just taken to taken her to a minute or so prior he starts stabbing her he stabs
her dozens of times but apparently that was not enough for him he ripped out the
shoelace from poor Kimberly's shoe and then strangles her with it she was killed right there by the River's Edge
just a few hours after getting off of the bus in St Paul this time however something must have
been different because the attacker this time does not immediately call 911 Kim's
body was discovered by a group of three teenage boys out walking in a wooded area north of
superia and Onida streets in St Paul they were the ones to report the body now Captain I I apologize because I'm a
little unclear as to the exact timing of this because it's it's not available in
some of the reports but sometime after this body was discovered by the teenagers are all around the same time
this is when a call comes into to police right so police are are at the same time
being made aware of this this body this homicide and they're responding so having respond they have a little bit of
detailed information about the crime prior to receiving this call even if it's just minutes so several hours after
this poor woman is attacked and what would end up being a murder several hours after this murder took place but
not long enough we we should be very clear not long enough that any of the information had been released to the
public by the police this is when police get a call from a mail caller with a strangely high
pitch voice the caller is crying and or attempting to disguise their voice this is now the infamous call that is
sometimes referred to as the don't talk just listen call as that was the statement that the dispatcher was met
with when picking up the call a description of this call the short of it Captain is the caller tells the
dispatcher quote God damn will you find me I just stab somebody with an ice pick
I can't stop myself I keep killing well like you said because this is a strange voice this has to perk up law
enforcement's ears the dispatchers ears and go this is very similar to a call that came in just
couple months ago there's some detail in that right there is a rather important detail offered up by the killer or the
caller I should say because at the time time after finding Kim's body who was unidentified early in the investigation
they find this woman they don't know who she is and we'll get into that in a sec
but at the time police knew that the unidentified victim she had been stabbed 61 times with an unknown sharp
instrument plus the strangulation with the shoelace see detectives did not know that Kimberly was stabbed with an ice
pick they knew that she was stabbed with an unknown object but but because of the
nature of the wounds what they did know was that it was not a knife that was used so the weirdo on the phone answered
that question for the detectives she was killed with an ice pick and oh by the way as we said the not knowing what she
was stabbed with that had not been released to the public yet either the police thought the police actually
thought that it was potentially a screwdriver that had done the damage to the victim but as the killer himself had
told on the strange phone call it was an ice pick now this is a detail that that
I rather you know let's try to try to walk away from some of the Gory details that we just
discussed because this is a detail that I just enjoy finding in these stories this is how the detectives learn the
identity of the victim so the the victim is Kimberly Compton but I love these little blood hound Gang type shoe
detective work stories so when they arrive on the scene they have no idea who this victim is and remember we told
the story of her just stepping off of the bus so she's not even from the area and when they find her she has no
identification on her what police do find in one of her pockets is a key and that key is to the locker that she
rented at the bus depot so so they go to the bus depot open up the locker and inside they go
through her belongings finding her identification there thus being able to identify our victim as 18-year-old
Kimberly Compton now the police know that the hysterical caller this is not a hoax this is not a
coincidence the fact that the caller provided valuable unknown information during the
call would seemed to tell you that this is very very likely our killer the attacker how long does it take for them
to pick up that this might be the same color as the previous attack that's a very great question here because you
would think that it wouldn't take long at all police did think that the calls were made by the same person but they
brought in like experts and paid they hired experts to come in and give their air quote expert opinion on the CA and
and the opinions kind of come come out with like yeah we're pretty sure it's the same guy but we can't say 100% it's
the same guy which is really the conclusion that the police had arrived at themselves the other thing too you know
you have you're really looking from a law enforcement perspective you are investigating the crime that's handed to
you right so you're in in this case you're you are on the receiving end of a murder investigation a m a homicide is
the crime in this case Kimberly K with Karen poac that's an assault attempted murder and you it's very easy
to look at them as one and the same but also keep in mind that that that may go to a different detective so I'm guessing
like in a lot of the cases that we've talked about when you have a series of crimes series offenses regardless of
it's murder rape robberies bank robberies what have you that you probably have a divided A
house divided amongst the police force right where there's some that that believe 100% it's one and the same and
then others that have their doubts but the weird the strange here is just going to keep getting weirder and stranger
because two days later right this is two days after the ice pick call the caller
with the same weird voice calls police once again this time he's calling to say he's
sorry saying he's sorry for stabbing Kimberly Compton and that he would turn himself in but he doesn't regardless of
what he says on this phone call so this to me this I this moment here right this
is a little bit of an aha moment because you're trying to you've you've talked about it already in the first part of
today's show trying to get into the mind of this attacker who is he what what is
he up to why is he doing what he's doing so this to me would seem indicative that
this F on the phone is following the case in the papers well again if he's connected to the first attack you know
he's probably following the case and what happened to that Victim Because she didn't die so
while my next victim I can't use the same strategy because I can't leave it to chance that she that this next victim
will walk away and be able to identify me so he changes his instrument of attack and this is 6 months later right
between the between the time of the first attack the attempted murder and then this actual
homicide but what I'm picking up on here in this second call regarding the Kimberly Compton case this is call
number two in this one single case in the Kimberly Compton case he has now choosing to use her name during this
call this making me believe that he is following the case on the news and or in the newspapers now knowing her name he's
using the name during the this call which he did not before in the in the previous call about Kimberly Compton and
he did not use the name of Karen when he called that one in now of course it's it's possible that through
discussion that he knew Kimberly Compton's name during the course of talking over you know her dinner at the
diner and then riding around in car right but this to me is it goes to the psyche of this attacker and is he is
he look the the calls themselves to me could insinuate that this guy is far beyond driven he's completely off the
rails insane insane the following of the the news stories about his victim would suggest
that there is some level of sanity for your attacker here so then the very next day the very next day after call number
two in the Kimberly Compton case this son of a [ __ ] calls again this time calling to say that some of the details
in the newspaper accounts were inaccurate huh so now 100% confirmation that he is following the case in the
news and on the newspapers and then 5 days later another call comes in so now we're at June
11th this call they hear what law enforcement described as a whimpering barely coherent
voice that is crying and saying something like I'm sorry for what I did to Compton now remember Kimberly's
grandfather with whom she had lived with just prior to her death had said that he
believed Kimberly's overly friendly nature may have helped and made her even more vulnerable or a more vulnerable
victim but please keep in mind she was only a victim because of this Predator this
horrible waste of a human that would do such terrible things to a young woman I mean imagine a world without these types
and how friendly we all would be or we all would want to be Kim's grandfather Theodore Compton added to his comments
by saying quote I can't for the life of me see why anyone would want to manipulate a girl like that it had to be
a regular maniac to do a job on her like [Music] that so much more to get to stick around
for part two and until then be good be kind and don't live [Music] [Applause] [Music]

The Twin Cities Weepy Killer /// Part 1 /// 771

Part 1 of 2

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com (http://www.truecrimegarage.com/)

In the early 1980s a deadly man was stalking the women of the Twin Cities. He used different weapons and methods to kill his victims. Often after a kill, the act was followed by a phone call claiming responsibility for the murder. Why were these calls seemingly part of the killer’s M.O.? What purpose did they serve? Was it an act of remorse or just to taunt the protectors of these cities? A man known as the “Weepy Voiced Killer” successfully killed women and left them on the side streets and back alleys of Minneapolis and Saint Paul and he got away with it for two years.
