13x10 - Window Watcher
Posted: 01/19/24 08:06
Narrator: up next, the
Peeping tom goes one step
Further and commits an
Unspeakable crime.
The scenario here,
Thankfully, is not a scenario we
See very often.
This was someone that was an
Avid window peeper and been
There before.
Narrator: for years, he
Eludes police and even returns
To the crime scene.
In the kitchen is the bra.
The guy had made his way back to
The scene to relive it.
Narrator: eventually, he goes
One step too far.
It's one of those "aha!"
Moments that you get.
We assumed it'd be a
We assumed it'd be a -year-old kid.
-Year-old kid.
Narrator: on a stifling-hot
Night in oklahoma, gary elwood
Went to bed early.
His girlfriend, janet haynes,
Stayed up for a while and went
To bed later.
Just after midnight, they heard
A noise coming from the living
Room.
Gary went to investigate.
She heard him scream for
Help.
She heard noises.
She heard sounds of a struggle.
This, of course, brought her to
Fully awake almost
Instantaneously.
Narrator: janet ran to help,
But without her glasses couldn't
See clearly.
She was able to tell us that
He was wearing gloves and had
Underwear on.
Narrator: the assailant
Chased janet back into the
Bedroom, where she was
Assaulted.
He would try, over the course
Of that att*ck, to knock her
Unconscious, to suffocate her to
A point where she would lose
Consciousness.
She'd blink and say, "you
Don't have to k*ll me."
He says, "yes, I do."
And I think pretty much she
Managed to just talk him out of
That possibility.
Narrator: after several
Hours, the attacker left.
That's when janet discovered
Gary's lifeless body.
Now in a state of shock, she
Managed to call police.
Please hurry!
She was asking me, "is he
Dead?
Is he dead?
I know he's dead.
He's dead."
Narrator: gary elwood had
Been stabbed to death.
Police found his body near the
Front door.
He was only years old.
Gary was evidently surprised
In the dining area of the house,
Which was in the front.
I noticed a cr*ck in the
Sheetrock on the wall that was
Obviously done by the force of
Being driven into the wall.
It was almost an outline of his
Body, where he crashed into the
Wall.
Narrator: gary was divorced,
A successful businessman with no
Known enemies.
He was a first-class guy --
Smart, intelligent, knew exactly
Where he was going and the
Things that were important in
Life.
Cared a lot about people.
Narrator: gary and janet had
Been dating for only a short
Time, so she didn't know whether
Gary knew his k*ller.
Her eyesight had some
Limitations, and the darkness of
The room contributed a great
Deal to that, even though she'd
Spent a significant amount of
Time with him in the room.
Narrator: she said the
Attacker was in his early s,
Had blond hair, was just under
Feet tall, and had a scraggly
Beard.
Police across oklahoma were
Looking for a man who fit this
Description.
But some members of the police
Department began to question
Janet's story.
We always questioned to how a
Guy that maybe carrying his
Clothes and stripped down to his
Underwear, carrying a Kn*fe and
Blood all over him, where's he
Gonna go and how's he gonna get
Away without somebody noticing
It?
...first on the scene to a
Gruesome m*rder.
I found out that gary had
Been m*rder*d as we were
Watching the evening news.
They would ask me, "is there any
Possibility that gary was
Involved with dr*gs?"
And the answer is absolutely no.
Narrator: gary elwood was
Brutally m*rder*d by someone who
Broke into his home in the
Middle of the night.
But the motive didn't appear to
Be robbery.
Nothing of value was missing,
And the victim's girlfriend,
Janet haynes, survived the
att*ck.
What I found fascinating
About that was the fact he
Did not resort to physical
v*olence toward the victim.
He was simply trying to subdue
Her.
He didn't b*at her.
He didn't use profanity toward
Her.
He didn't attempt to s*ab her,
Even though he could have very
Easily done that.
Narrator: investigators
Started to question whether
Janet haynes might have known
The perpetrator, or perhaps the
Perpetrator knew her.
We thought it was possible
That it could have been an
Ex-boyfriend or at least someone
Who had either tried to date her
Or something like that.
It's almost like he's trying to
Remove the object between him
And the girl.
Narrator: yet another unusual
Detail was janet's description
Of the k*ller.
She said he was wearing only his
Underwear and a pair of gloves.
It just didn't ring right to
Any of us.
We really wanted to just verify
That she was being up-and-up
With us.
Narrator: so janet was given
Two extensive polygraph
Examinations, and she passed
Both times.
Police look for evidence to
Corroborate janet's story.
At the time, luminol was just
Becoming available.
So investigators decided to try
It.
Their reaction was "whoo,"
'Cause they were amazed at what
It was revealing at that time.
And from that scene, it got the
Nickname locally here of "whoo
Juice" because it was such a
Weird feeling to be watching
What's going on, and we realized
What great potential this
Luminol has.
Narrator: the luminol was
Further proof that everything
Janet told investigators was
True.
All of the sudden, you start
Seeing footprints appearing in
The dark.
That's almost like you're
Walking in the footsteps of the
Person.
And the hair stands up on the
Back of your neck because at
That moment, you're seeing the
Actual direction that this
Assailant had walked.
Narrator: and investigators
Found other evidence to
Corroborate janet's story.
The screen in the dining-room
Window had been cut, the likely
Point of entry.
Under the master-bedroom window,
In the soft dirt, were some bare
Footprints from an individual
With a size- foot.
And investigators discovered a
Faint fabric impression in the
Dirt underneath the window.
It's pretty good detective
Work, I think, if you could tell
That they see a buttocks imprint
On the ground beneath the
Window.
It looked as though that person
Had spent quite a lot of time
Under that window.
Narrator: from that window,
The k*ller had a clear sight
Line into the bathroom.
Janet told investigators she
Took a shower before she went to
Bed.
To investigators, this told a
Story.
Perpetrator in this
Particular case was a window
Peeper.
Window peepers look for victims
Of opportunity, and once he
Discovered that there was, in
Fact, a woman inside that
Residence, that's where he
Decided to commit his crime that
Particular night.
Narrator: because the k*ller
Entered the house wearing only
His underwear and a pair of
Gloves, fbi profilers believed
His target was janet, not gary.
And he must have believed she
Was alone.
It was our opinion that the
Target in this crime, the
Primary target in this crime,
Was janet.
He wanted to r*pe her.
That's the reason, the primary
Motive for entering that
Residence to begin with.
Narrator: hazelwood believes
The perpetrator had never k*lled
Before.
In this particular case, we
Felt it was panic stabbing.
He had not expected to encounter
Gary at that particular point.
Narrator: the fbi created an
Entire profile of the person
They believe perpetrated this
Crime.
We estimated his age to be
Between, I believe, and .
His education -- we said he had
Graduated from high school.
He lived within walking distance
Of where the crime had been
Committed.
Narrator: hazelwood predicted
That the k*ller would be so
Traumatized that his weight
Would fluctuate, and he would
Look for a legitimate reason to
Leave the area.
This was a frightening
Experience for this person
Because in our opinion he had
Never k*lled before, and he did
Not intend to k*ll when he went
Into that residence.
Narrator: but if the k*ller
Had left town, how would police
Find him?
Narrator: police believed
That gary elwood's k*ller was
Someone who lived near the crime
Scene, was a window peeper in
His early to mid-s, and would
Leave the area after the crime.
Inside the crime scene,
Investigators found some foot
Impressions in blood.
One had plenty of ridge detail.
Your feet and your hands have
Unique fingerprints.
The dermal patterns on your feet
Are unique to you, just as your
Fingerprints are unique to you
On your hands.
Narrator: all police needed
Now was a suspect.
I went from door to door.
"Have you lived here?
How long have you lived here?
Who do you know in the
Neighborhood?
Who do you associate with in the
Neighborhood?"
Narrator: they found one
Promising lead -- -year-old
Bill winters, who lived two
Blocks away from the crime
Scene.
His parents had moved out of
State and left him alone in that
House.
He wasn't a big guy.
He would have been just the
Right size to get through the
Hole in the screen.
Narrator: as the profile
Predicted, shortly after the
m*rder, winters left town to
Live with his parents in
Missouri.
During police questioning,
Winters denied any involvement
In gary elwood's m*rder and
Willingly provided a print of
His right foot.
It did not match the bloody
Print found in the victim's
Home.
I was extremely frustrated.
Not only is all the weight on
Your shoulders because this is
Your unsolved case, but it also
Weighs on the police department,
Too.
It's just something that you
Can't afford to let go of.
Narrator: three years passed.
Then, an inmate at the local
Jail contacted police about his
Former roommate, bob johnson.
Someone who came forward and
Claimed that their roommate at
That time, in ', johnson, had
Come home bloodied and said that
He had k*lled somebody.
Narrator: johnson's mug sh*t
Looked remarkably like the
Composite drawing of the
Suspect.
He didn't fit the fbi profile,
But his background made him a
Likely suspect.
His ex-wife told the
Investigators that mr. Johnson
Had a significant drug problem,
And he was conducting those
Burglaries to help support that
Habit.
Narrator: janet haynes
Identified johnson in a photo
Lineup.
She put the finger on
Johnson.
So I'm sure at that point edmond
Investigators clearly thought
They had their man.
Narrator: by this time, dna
Testing was standard practice.
So johnson's dna was compared to
Semen from janet haynes'
r*pe-test kit.
And his footprints were compared
To the bloody footprints at the
Crime scene.
It was just a matter of days
That we got those results back
And conclusively excluded him as
A suspect of this homicide.
It was not his footprint.
It was not his dna type that was
Left behind.
Narrator: the case went cold
Again.
Investigators never gave up, but
They were running out of ideas.
Three years later, on a hunch,
They revisited the scene of the
Crime, not even sure what they
Were looking for.
We go back into the house,
And we're just looking around,
Because it sat there for several
Years vacant.
Narrator: was there anything
They missed?
Something they hadn't though of?
And then they found a potential
Clue.
Right on the floor in the
Kitchen area is the bra.
Narrator: it didn't look new,
But it wasn't there the last
Time they were inside the home,
Shortly after the m*rder.
Was it possible that this
Belonged to janet haynes?
I verified the bra belonged
To her.
One of the things that is
Characteristic of a lot of
Rapists is that they will take a
Trophy.
And one of the trophies that we
Felt that he took, in time, was
The female's bra.
So I believe that the guy had
Made his way back to the scene
To relive it.
Narrator: but if the k*ller
Had been back in the
Neighborhood, it might have been
Only for a visit.
This guy has some direct ties
To that neighborhood somehow,
Some way -- either relatives in
The neighborhood, or he had
Lived there.
Narrator: over the next
Years, police check dozens
Of suspects from seven different
States.
None panned out.
Then, in the spring of , tv
Viewers in edmond, oklahoma, saw
This story.
Scott eggleston says he knew
Someone had been watching his
Family for months, even taking
Photos through a cr*ck in the
Blinds.
We assumed it'd be a
-Year-old kid.
Narrator: but it wasn't a
Kid.
It was a grown man.
The father came around the
House and found a suspect
Dressed completely in black.
He had arranged an outfit that
Was like a turtleneck, where he
Could pull it up over his face,
And he had just cut out holes
For his eyes and a hole for his
Mouth so he could breathe.
Narrator: and the man was
Barefoot.
I got a little adrenaline
Rush, and I said, "where are
We?"
I came straight back to the
Station, pulled out a map, and
Realized that I was directly
Straight across where gary had
Been k*lled almost years ago.
Narrator: was this the man
Who k*lled gary elwood and
Sexually assaulted janet haynes
Almost years earlier?
He pulled up his turtleneck
To cover his face.
Just started walking...
Narrator: when police
Arrested -year-old
Jonathan graham for peeping into
The window of a teenage girl,
They suspected he was more than
Just a voyeur.
In his possession were items
For a more violent crime.
A bag was found with several
Different kinds of knives, three
Pair of handcuffs, flex cuffs,
Condoms, sex lubricants, sex
Toys, lock-picking tool,
Bandanna, black clothing, which,
In our business, that's a r*pe
Kit.
Narrator: police now
Suspected graham was responsible
For the m*rder of gary elwood
And the sexual as*ault of
Janet haynes, crimes that
Occurred years earlier in the
Very same neighborhood.
At the time of gary elwood's
m*rder, graham was living with
His parents just a couple of
Blocks from elwood's home, and
That's where he was living now,
After a brief stint in the army.
With a warrant, police searched
Graham's home.
On his computer, they found
Child p*rn and pictures
Of women he'd secretly
Photographed.
Investigators took an inked
Print of graham's feet.
I remember I was just sitting
There, thinking about that, just
"Yeah, I hope this one works
Out."
Narrator: analyst jim stokes
Searched for corresponding ridge
Detail on the crime-scene
Footprint and the one taken from
Jonathan graham.
I was able to isolate an area
On the outside of the foot, that
Being it was a right-foot
Impression.
So it would be the right side of
The foot about midway down.
Narrator: stokes called
Investigators with the news.
I was really quite
Surprised -- and excited.
Yeah, that was a pretty cool
Day.
There was a lot of cheering
On the phone, so...
I still remember the scream in
My ear.
Narrator: finally, graham's
Dna profile matched the
Biological sample from
Janet haynes' r*pe-test kit.
It was like the weight of the
World being lifted off your
Shoulders.
It was just -- you can't
Describe it.
Narrator: the fbi profile had
Been remarkably accurate in
Predicting the perpetrator's
Age, education, and where he
Lived.
Graham also admitted he lost
Weight after the m*rder and
Joined the army, where he worked
In m*llitary intelligence.
After he was discharged, he
Returned to oklahoma.
I guess that was his best
Situation, to move back into an
Area that he was familiar with,
The same, old neighborhood that
He once lived in a decade-plus
Ago.
Narrator: but why would
Graham return to the same
Neighborhood where he k*lled
Gary elwood decades earlier and
Commit the same crime of window
Peeping, knowing that if he got
Caught, he'd immediately be a
Suspect in elwood's m*rder?
And the answer is simply that
He was a window peeper, and he
Was driven to commit those types
Of crimes.
That's what was exciting to him.
And I believe that he felt he
Would not be caught.
Why?
Because he was so proficient at
What he had been doing over all
Those years.
Narrator: prosecutors believe
That graham stood outside
Gary elwood's home on the night
Of the crime and watched while
Of the crime and watched while janet haynes took a shower.
Janet haynes took a shower.
Graham thought janet was there
Alone, since he couldn't see
Alone, since he couldn't see gary from his vantage point.
Gary from his vantage point.
After janet went to bed,
Prosecutors think graham removed
His clothes and shoes outside,
Then entered the house by
Cutting the window screen.
He made enough noise that he
Woke gary, who went to
Investigate.
The two fought.
Then, graham stabbed gary to
Death and for the next few hours
Terrorized janet.
Graham left clear footprints in
Gary's blood, which later tied
Him to the scene, along with the
Dna evidence.
Facing a possible death
Sentence, jonathan graham pled
Guilty to first-degree m*rder
Guilty to first-degree m*rder and r*pe.
And r*pe.
Graham had no way of knowing
That years later, technology
Would eventually catch up with
Him.
The forensic science behind
This investigation is what
Sealed jonathan graham's guilt,
Even without ever stepping a
Foot in court.
Over my career, I've seen
Some amazing things, and that,
Coupled with good detective
Work, there's just no end to
What we can do.
We here in science, in
Forensics, we're here for the
Truth.
We're not here for the
Prosecution.
We're not here for the defense.
We're here for the truth.
He will spend the rest of his
Peeping tom goes one step
Further and commits an
Unspeakable crime.
The scenario here,
Thankfully, is not a scenario we
See very often.
This was someone that was an
Avid window peeper and been
There before.
Narrator: for years, he
Eludes police and even returns
To the crime scene.

One step too far.

Investigators that mr. Johnson
Had a significant drug problem,
And he was conducting those
Burglaries to help support that
Habit.
Narrator: janet haynes
Identified johnson in a photo
Lineup.
She put the finger on
Johnson.
So I'm sure at that point edmond
Investigators clearly thought
They had their man.
Narrator: by this time, dna
Testing was standard practice.
So johnson's dna was compared to
Semen from janet haynes'
r*pe-test kit.
And his footprints were compared
To the bloody footprints at the
Crime scene.
It was just a matter of days
That we got those results back
And conclusively excluded him as
A suspect of this homicide.
It was not his footprint.
It was not his dna type that was
Left behind.
Narrator: the case went cold
Again.
Investigators never gave up, but
They were running out of ideas.
Three years later, on a hunch,
They revisited the scene of the
Crime, not even sure what they
Were looking for.
We go back into the house,
And we're just looking around,
Because it sat there for several
Years vacant.
Narrator: was there anything
They missed?
Something they hadn't though of?
And then they found a potential
Clue.
Right on the floor in the
Kitchen area is the bra.
Narrator: it didn't look new,
But it wasn't there the last
Time they were inside the home,
Shortly after the m*rder.
Was it possible that this
Belonged to janet haynes?
I verified the bra belonged
To her.
One of the things that is
Characteristic of a lot of
Rapists is that they will take a
Trophy.
And one of the trophies that we
Felt that he took, in time, was
The female's bra.
So I believe that the guy had
Made his way back to the scene
To relive it.
Narrator: but if the k*ller
Had been back in the
Neighborhood, it might have been
Only for a visit.
This guy has some direct ties
To that neighborhood somehow,
Some way -- either relatives in
The neighborhood, or he had
Lived there.
Narrator: over the next
Years, police check dozens
Of suspects from seven different
States.
None panned out.
Then, in the spring of , tv
Viewers in edmond, oklahoma, saw
This story.
Scott eggleston says he knew
Someone had been watching his
Family for months, even taking
Photos through a cr*ck in the
Blinds.
We assumed it'd be a
-Year-old kid.
Narrator: but it wasn't a
Kid.
It was a grown man.
The father came around the
House and found a suspect
Dressed completely in black.
He had arranged an outfit that
Was like a turtleneck, where he
Could pull it up over his face,
And he had just cut out holes
For his eyes and a hole for his
Mouth so he could breathe.
Narrator: and the man was
Barefoot.
I got a little adrenaline
Rush, and I said, "where are
We?"
I came straight back to the
Station, pulled out a map, and
Realized that I was directly
Straight across where gary had
Been k*lled almost years ago.
Narrator: was this the man
Who k*lled gary elwood and
Sexually assaulted janet haynes
Almost years earlier?
He pulled up his turtleneck
To cover his face.
Just started walking...
Narrator: when police
Arrested -year-old
Jonathan graham for peeping into
The window of a teenage girl,
They suspected he was more than
Just a voyeur.
In his possession were items
For a more violent crime.
A bag was found with several
Different kinds of knives, three
Pair of handcuffs, flex cuffs,
Condoms, sex lubricants, sex
Toys, lock-picking tool,
Bandanna, black clothing, which,
In our business, that's a r*pe
Kit.
Narrator: police now
Suspected graham was responsible
For the m*rder of gary elwood
And the sexual as*ault of
Janet haynes, crimes that
Occurred years earlier in the
Very same neighborhood.
At the time of gary elwood's
m*rder, graham was living with
His parents just a couple of
Blocks from elwood's home, and
That's where he was living now,
After a brief stint in the army.
With a warrant, police searched
Graham's home.
On his computer, they found
Child p*rn and pictures
Of women he'd secretly
Photographed.
Investigators took an inked
Print of graham's feet.
I remember I was just sitting
There, thinking about that, just
"Yeah, I hope this one works
Out."
Narrator: analyst jim stokes
Searched for corresponding ridge
Detail on the crime-scene
Footprint and the one taken from
Jonathan graham.
I was able to isolate an area
On the outside of the foot, that
Being it was a right-foot
Impression.
So it would be the right side of
The foot about midway down.
Narrator: stokes called
Investigators with the news.
I was really quite
Surprised -- and excited.
Yeah, that was a pretty cool
Day.
There was a lot of cheering
On the phone, so...
I still remember the scream in
My ear.
Narrator: finally, graham's
Dna profile matched the
Biological sample from
Janet haynes' r*pe-test kit.
It was like the weight of the
World being lifted off your
Shoulders.
It was just -- you can't
Describe it.
Narrator: the fbi profile had
Been remarkably accurate in
Predicting the perpetrator's
Age, education, and where he
Lived.
Graham also admitted he lost
Weight after the m*rder and
Joined the army, where he worked
In m*llitary intelligence.
After he was discharged, he
Returned to oklahoma.
I guess that was his best
Situation, to move back into an
Area that he was familiar with,
The same, old neighborhood that
He once lived in a decade-plus
Ago.
Narrator: but why would
Graham return to the same
Neighborhood where he k*lled
Gary elwood decades earlier and
Commit the same crime of window
Peeping, knowing that if he got
Caught, he'd immediately be a
Suspect in elwood's m*rder?
And the answer is simply that
He was a window peeper, and he
Was driven to commit those types
Of crimes.
That's what was exciting to him.
And I believe that he felt he
Would not be caught.
Why?
Because he was so proficient at
What he had been doing over all
Those years.
Narrator: prosecutors believe
That graham stood outside
Gary elwood's home on the night
Of the crime and watched while
Of the crime and watched while janet haynes took a shower.
Janet haynes took a shower.
Graham thought janet was there
Alone, since he couldn't see
Alone, since he couldn't see gary from his vantage point.
Gary from his vantage point.
After janet went to bed,
Prosecutors think graham removed
His clothes and shoes outside,
Then entered the house by
Cutting the window screen.
He made enough noise that he
Woke gary, who went to
Investigate.
The two fought.
Then, graham stabbed gary to
Death and for the next few hours
Terrorized janet.
Graham left clear footprints in
Gary's blood, which later tied
Him to the scene, along with the
Dna evidence.
Facing a possible death
Sentence, jonathan graham pled
Guilty to first-degree m*rder
Guilty to first-degree m*rder and r*pe.
And r*pe.
Graham had no way of knowing
That years later, technology
Would eventually catch up with
Him.
The forensic science behind
This investigation is what
Sealed jonathan graham's guilt,
Even without ever stepping a
Foot in court.
Over my career, I've seen
Some amazing things, and that,
Coupled with good detective
Work, there's just no end to
What we can do.
We here in science, in
Forensics, we're here for the
Truth.
We're not here for the
Prosecution.
We're not here for the defense.
We're here for the truth.
He will spend the rest of his
