At first, they thought it was a poor joke, but, after a few phone calls, learned that he was telling the truth. He then sat down in the car and waited for them to come and arrest him.

After unsuccessfully pleading insanity, he requested to be sentenced to death and executed by electrical chair, like he had fantasized about, but due to the state having temporarily suspended capital punishment, he was denied his childhood dream and sentenced to life in prison.

While in prison, he was one of the first 36 convicted killers to be interviewed by the then recently founded Behavioral Science Unit.

He was interviewed three times by Robert Ressler. During the third time, the guards didn't respond when he called for them and he found himself locked in the small room alone with Kemper, who started making death threats and taunting him.

When the guard finally came, he claimed to have been kidding. John Douglas , who also interviewed him, later admitted to liking Kemper, who was friendly, open, and sensitive when they spoke.

It was more or less making a doll out of a human being Kemper targeted women, most of whom were co-eds aged in their teens to mid-twenties, most of whom attended the same college his mother worked at.

All victims during his serial killer period, with the exception of his mother and Sally Hallett, were hitchhikers who were given rides by him when he cruised around.

After taking them somewhere secluded, chatting them up on the way, he would kill them in various ways, including shooting, stabbing, and strangling, and then take their remains to his room, where he would perform bizarre experiments on, eviscerate, and engage in sexual activities with their bodies.

He would also decapitate his victims' heads and have oral sex with them. One of the psychiatrists who interviewed him using a truth serum, Dr.

Joel Fort, also believed that Kemper had cooked and eaten parts of his victims. He took Polaroid photos of their mutilated corpses as souvenirs.

After he was done with the bodies, he would dispose of them, often by throwing them into a ravine or a gorge. The heads of some victims were buried in his mother's garden, with Kemper claiming he placed them there because his mother "always wanted people to look up to her".

When he killed his grandparents, he shot them both with a. This wiki. This wiki All wikis. On November 8, , the six-man, six-woman jury deliberated for five hours before declaring Kemper sane and guilty on all counts.

In the California Medical Facility, Kemper was incarcerated in the same prison block as other notorious criminals such as Herbert Mullin and Charles Manson.

Kemper showed particular disdain for Mullin, who committed his murders at the same time and in the same area as Kemper.

He described Mullin as "just a cold-blooded killer Kemper stated that "[Mullin] had a habit of singing and bothering people when somebody tried to watch TV, so I threw water on him to shut him up.

Then, when he was a good boy, I'd give him peanuts. Herbie liked peanuts. That was effective because pretty soon he asked permission to sing.

That's called behavior modification treatment. Kemper remains among the general population in prison and is considered a model prisoner.

He was in charge of scheduling other inmates' appointments with psychiatrists and was an accomplished craftsman of ceramic cups.

He received his first rules violation report in for failing to provide a urine sample. While imprisoned, Kemper has participated in a number of interviews, including a segment in the documentary The Killing of America , as well as an appearance in the documentary Murder: No Apparent Motive.

FBI profiler John Douglas described Kemper as "among the brightest" prison inmates he interviewed [66] [67] and capable of "rare insight for a violent criminal.

Kemper is forthcoming about the nature of his crimes and has stated that he participated in the interviews to save others like himself from killing.

At the end of his Murder: No Apparent Motive interview, he said: "There's somebody out there that is watching this and hasn't done that — hasn't killed people, and wants to, and rages inside and struggles with that feeling, or is so sure they have it under control.

They need to talk to somebody about it. Trust somebody enough to sit down and talk about something that isn't a crime; thinking that way isn't a crime.

Doing it isn't just a crime, it's a horrible thing. It doesn't know when to quit and it can't be stopped easily once it starts. Kemper was first eligible for parole in He was denied parole that year, as well as at parole hearings in , , and He subsequently waived his right to a hearing in I can't fault them for that.

He then waived his right to a hearing in [75] and in Prosecutor Ariadne Symons said: "We don't care how much of a model prisoner he is because of the enormity of his crimes.

Kemper has influenced many works of film and literature. Like Kemper, Bill fatally shoots his grandparents as a teenager.

He said 'When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part of me wants to take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and treat her right A direct-to-video horror film loosely based on Kemper's murders, titled Kemper: The CoEd Killer , was released in From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The initial contact required several calls. First, he had to convince the Santa Cruz Police he wasn't a crank caller.

Then he had to help them find him. He was disoriented and wasn't quite sure how to lead police to the Pueblo phone booth from which he was placing his calls.

When he was taken into custody, a party of investigators from Santa Cruz headed for Pueblo, where they would question Edmund about the crimes for which he claimed responsibility.

As their tape recorder rolled, Edmund talked, giving incredibly explicit and detailed confessions to all eight murders. Upon his return to Santa Cruz, Edmund led investigators to the various disposal sites he had used and continued his seemingly endless confession.

When he was finally finished, he'd been so thorough that he left his court-appointed public defender, James Jackson, no avenue for defense except that of insanity.

A series of witnesses was brought in to try to establish that Edmund was not responsible for his crimes, but the prosecutor undermined the testimony of each one.

Prosecution witness, Dr. Joel Fort, did the most damage to Edmund's insanity defense. He had spent quite a bit of time reviewing Edmund's case, going all the way back to his diagnoses after the killing of his grandparents and during his time at Atascadero.

He had also interviewed Edmund, eliciting previously unknown information about his sexual practices with the bodies, and even cannibalism.

Edmund was not a paranoid schizophrenic, Fort said. He was obsessed with sex and violence, and he craved attention, going so far as to slash his own wrists with a ball point pen during the trial in an ostensible suicide attempt, but he was not insane.

Furthermore, Fort said, if he were ever released he would kill again, and he would kill the same sort of victim. During the three weeks of the trial, no witness, not even Edmund's sister or his doctors from Atascadero, was able to convince the jury that Edmund was insane.

They deliberated for only five hours, and they found Edmund guilty of first-degree murder on all eight counts. After a short observation stint at Vacaville Medical Facility, he was sent to the maximum-security prison at Folsom for the rest of his life.

Edmund Kemper remains behind bars. Since he was put away in , countless other serial killers, many just as brutal and depraved as he, have captured our attention.

Edmund, as if to maintain his place in our consciousness, remains eager to speak of his crimes. In , he participated, along with the notorious John Wayne Gacy, in a satellite broadcast during which each killer discussed his crimes.

As always, he was loquacious and explicit, and he seemed to have garnered quite a bit of psychological insight into the nature of his crimes.

In prison, he is well behaved and cooperative, and seems to take great pride in his status as the "genius" serial killer who aided in his own capture and conviction.

He knows, as we know, that his release would lead to tragedy, and he is aware of and resigned to the fact that he isn't going anywhere. That's okay with him, and it's certainly okay with us.

There is only major book devoted to Edmund Kemper it is out of print and difficult to obtain. Robert K. Ressler interviewed Kemper extensively for the FBI's serial killer profiling group.

Evans and Co, Additional information is also available from contemporary San Francisco newspapers, such as the San Francisco Chronicle.

He'd gone there during the previous Christmas holidays, remaining for the rest of that school year before returning to his mother, and was now back.

He wasn't happy about that. Already six-foot-four and socially awkward, he was an intimidating figure, and people tended to shunt him from one place to another.

He'd grown frustrated and angry, and later described himself as a "walking time bomb. Instead, the people around him seemed to ensure that it would grow worse.

Kemper disliked how his mother treated him, and his grandmother was just as bad. They were always pushing him around and telling him what to do. According to his own statements, he harbored fantasies of killing and mutilating them.

And not just them: As a child, writes psychiatrist Donald Lunde in Murder and Madness , Kemper wished that everyone else in the world would die, and he envisioned killing many of them himself.

He had also indulged in tormenting cats. He'd buried one alive, then dug it up, cut off its head and stuck the head on a stick. That August afternoon, he argued in the kitchen with his sixty-six-year-old grandmother, Maude.

Lunde, who interviewed him at length years later, says that he had displaced his anger at his mother onto Maude, so it did not take much to make him react.

Enraged, Kemper grabbed a rifle, and when she warned him not to shoot the birds, he turned and shot her instead. He hit her in the head, writes Margaret Cheney in Why?

The Serial Killer in America , killing her, and then shot her twice in the back. Lunde says that he also stabbed her repeatedly with a kitchen knife, and David K.

Frazier writes in Murder Cases of the Twentieth Century that it was three times in the back. So his first killing, if this account is correct, was impulsive, more a thoughtless act than a planned predatory incident.

But then he had to do something to hide it from his grandfather. He was a big kid for his age, the product of a six-foot mother and a father who was six-foot-eight.

So he did not have much difficulty dragging his grandmother's corpse into the bedroom. But then his grandfather, also named Edmund, drove up.

The man was 72, and it was he who had given the boy the. Young Edmund heard his car outside. He went to the window and made the decision to finish the job he'd begun.

As the elderly man got out of the car, Kemper raised the rifle and shot him as well. Cheney says that he then hid the body in the garage.

Not knowing what else to do, he called his mother in Montana and told her what he had done. Clarnell urged him to call the police, and no doubt she was thinking of the dire warning that Cheney says she had given Edmund's biological father, whose parents were now dead.

She had told him not to be surprised if the boy killed them one day. Kemper called the police and they came to the ranch to take him into custody.

He was waiting calmly on the porch for them. They placed him with the California Youth Authority, and in an interview, the police later reported, he said he had shot Grandma to see what it felt like.

That comment would become the quote most often associated with him, used to show how cold-blooded he was at such a young age.

Yet another reading of it indicates that he was merely stating the end result of his frustration with the woman. He explained that he'd killed his grandfather to spare him having to find Maude dead, murdered by her grandson.

At the time, it seemed incomprehensible to the California system that a child could do such a thing. He was sent for psychiatric testing and diagnosed as having paranoid schizophrenia.

He was also found to have a near-genius IQ. Instead of staying at a facility operated by the Youth Authority, he ended up at the secure Atascadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, and because he was so intelligent and astute he was allowed access to some of the assessment devices - even to administer them at times, according to John Douglas in Mindhunter.

Frazier says that while in the hospital, Kemper actually memorized the responses to 28 different assessment instruments, providing himself with the proper tools to convince those doctors who evaluated him that he would be safe to release upon his 21st birthday.

With his mother's help, he achieved this. The most comprehensive sources on Kemper's case come from people who wrote during the s, immediately after his trial, including psychiatrist Donald Lunde and authors Ward Damio and Margaret Cheney who had access to transcripts of what she called his "compulsive confessing".

Kemper also did an interview in , which ended up on Court TV's Mugshots program. Ressler and John Douglas, who interviewed him at length and discussed their encounters with him in their respective books.

While self-report is generally suspect, what Kemper has to say about himself and his background is revealing.

Accounts of him generally emphasize his huge size - six-foot-nine and nearly three hundred pounds - but the manner in which he thinks and speaks is more interesting.

Kemper's string of crimes was the third for San Jose , California , since , so it's instructive to look at the first two briefly to understand the climate of fear that hovered over the area upon his arrest.

Just after he came out of Atascadero , the town that would become his new home made national headlines.

Surrounded by mountains, ocean, and towering redwood trees, it's a tourist Mecca and an upscale place to own a home or rent an apartment. During the early s, when the murders began, townspeople were already torn over the "hippies" moving in, thanks in part to the University of California opening a new campus there.

Young people flooded in, and not all of them were what residents called "desirable. At the time, Damio writes, 95 percent of murders that occurred in America were primarily situational - inspired by tense domestic incidents or the result of some kind of altercation among acquaintances.

But the murders during the s in Santa Cruz defied this pattern, and while one killer was quickly captured after his crime, for several months no arrests were made or suspects identified for the other cases.

By , people were purchasing guns to protect themselves, because clearly these offenders were boldly entering the homes of ordinary citizens.

Ohta's secretary - to stop what he viewed as the spread of progress that was ruining the natural environment. An extremist in the hippie lifestyle, he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia but nevertheless was found sane and convicted.

His trial became a circus, in part because he wanted to appear to be pretending to be insane so the jury would believe he was malingering.

But there was also an air of suspicion against "hippies," because over the span of two nights during the previous year Charles Manson and his gang had massacred seven people down in Los Angeles.

Like Manson, Frazier had invaded a home and brutally killed the occupants including two children for some bizarre drug-inspired vision.

Then in late and early '73, across a terrifying period of four months, another series of murders occurred around Santa Cruz. Among the victims were four campers, a priest, a man digging in his garden, a young girl, and a mother and her two children.

The police finally stopped the killer, Herbert Mullin, Although he had been institutionalized and evaluated as a danger to others, he'd nevertheless become an outpatient, which allowed him to roam freely.

He'd stopped taking his antipsychotic medication and "heard" a voice that urged him to kill. It was his mission, Mullin believed, to save the people of California from a super-earthquake that would send it into the ocean.

Thus, he decided that he had to "sing the die song," which he believed would persuade thirteen people to either kill themselves or allow themselves to become human sacrifices which he said they conveyed to him telepathically.

Using a knife, gun, or baseball bat to slay those he selected, he killed until police picked him up. Also diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, he was nevertheless considered legally sane and was convicted on ten counts of murder.

But even before that, in May , female hitchhikers began to disappear. To subdue public panic, the authorities tried linking these disappearances to Mullin so they could assure the community that the spate of murders was at an end, but it soon turned out to be another person altogether - someone who surprised them.

Eventually the Santa Cruz Sentinel , the local newspaper, would put together a magazine that reviewed important events in the area across the decades and featured these three killers.

The s was an age of violence, and along with Frazier and Mullin, they would add Edmund Kemper, now a young man.

Altogether the three killed 28 people, and represented the three basic types of multiple murderers: Frazier killed all his victims at once, Mullin in a spree accounting for his projected goal of thirteen , and Kemper as a serial killer.

Kemper's crimes began before Mullin and stopped after him. What precipitated it, according to his account in several interviews, was his mother's constant needling and humiliation.

When released by the parole board from Atascadero in , the psychiatrists had advised that Kemper not be returned to Clarnell, because it could trigger more violence.

But it appeared that no one was keeping watch. Having no means of support and no assistance from the Youth Authority, Kemper did move in with Clarnell and, according to him, she took up berating him again.

Having left her third husband, she had taken a job at the new university in Santa Cruz as an administrative assistant and moved into a duplex on Ord Drive in Aptos.

They had frequent arguments that the neighbors overheard. Whether or not Clarnell was a primary influence in his subsequent actions, there is no doubt that they had an unrelentingly toxic relationship.

As part of his parole requirements, Kemper went to a community college and did well, but he hoped to get into the police academy one day.

When he learned that he was too tall, his consolation was to hang out in the jury room where the police gathered and listen to their stories.

They knew him as "Big Ed" and generally thought of him as a polite young man. His voice was soft, his manner polite, and his speech intelligent and articulate.

He idolized John Wayne and everyone knew it. Little did they know that they would eventually be telling one of their most bizarre tales about him.

He got several different jobs and finally ended up with the California Highway Department. When he had saved enough money to move out of his mother's home, he went north to Alameda , near San Francisco , and shared an apartment with a friend.

But he often had no money and sometimes ended up back with Clarnell. With this he bought a yellow Ford Galaxy and began to cruise the area. He noticed young females out hitchhiking - the popular mode of travel for college students in those days along the West Coast.

And when he looked them over, as he described in later interviews, he thought about things he could do to them. Quietly, he prepared his car for what he had in mind, placing plastic bags, knives, a blanket, and handcuffs that he had acquired into the trunk.

He had only to await an opportunity. For a period of time, he picked up girls and let them go. By his estimation, he picked up around hitchhikers, any of whom might have been chosen for his plan.

Finally, he felt the urgent inner drive of what he called his "little zapples," and he acted. On May 7, , as people were still troubled by the conclusion of the Frazier trial less than six months before, Mary Ann Pesce and Anita Luchessa hitchhiked from Fresno State College to meet friends at Stanford University.

Damio, Newton , and Frazier laid out the events chronologically. When the girls failed to arrive at their destination, their families contacted the police.

But runaways were all too frequent during those days and the girls had left behind no clues as to where they had gone, so there was little the authorities could do.

Then, on August 15, the remains of a female head were recovered from an area in the mountains and identified as that of Pecse. No other remains were found, but it was assumed that both girls had met with foul play and were dead.

On September 14, dance student Aiko Koo disappeared while hitching from Berkley. On October 13, Mullin's series of murders began to catch people's attention, but then, early in , year-old Cindy Schall disappeared while traveling to class at Cabrillo Community College.

She was hitchhiking, and had stopped off at a friend's house. Someone saw her get a ride and then she was just gone. Less than two days later, dismembered arms and legs were found on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Then an upper torso washed ashore, which was identified via lung X-rays as Schall's. Eventually a lower torso came in.

A surfer also found her left hand, which offered fingerprints, but her head and right hand remained missing. The papers began talking about the "Chopper" and the "Butcher.

Then, on January 25, two local families were shot to death in their homes. The Santa Cruz area was in a panic, and soon four young men who were camping were all shot at close range in the head.

There were no leads whatsoever in their disappearances. Then on February 13, a witness called the police after another shooting of a man in his garden.

In short order, they arrested Herbert Mullin. He was tied to most of the shootings, but not to the murders of Cindy Schall or Mary Ann Pesce, or the disappearance of the other hitchhikers.

Kidnapping and dismemberment were not part of his MO. Yet Damio indicates that upon Mullin's arrest, the media coverage of the local violence inspired an atmosphere of terror.

One reporter, whom Ward identifies as television reporter Marilyn Baker, consistently exaggerated rumors and offered uncorroborated information as fact, angering the police and alarming the citizens.

She gave daily reports of satanic rituals and linked together a number of murders over the course of a year. The bodies were placed in a slant position, the heads lower than the feet, so the blood would drain out, making such dismemberment easier.

She suggested that the killer was a lesbian or transvestite and scolded the police for their mistakes during the investigation. She warned that the butcher murders occurred on Mondays after dark and during the full moon - which was patently untrue.

Yet for her, it seemed like evidence of cult activity. On March 4, a couple of hikers came across a human skull and jawbone not far from Highway 1 in San Mateo County.

They were not from the same person. The police searched the area and found another skull that went with the jawbone, so they knew they had a pair of victims killed close together.

They had reports of several missing female hitchhikers, so they compared what they had to the descriptions, and identified the remains of Rosalind Thorpe and Alice Liu.

Liu had been shot twice in the head, Thorpe once. It was not long thereafter that the university decided to institute a bus system that would assist off-campus students to get safely to their classes.

The authorities were stymied. The area had become a hotbed of murder and missing persons, mostly young women. They had few leads and no methods for ending the killing.

The university experienced a sudden drop in enrollment. But then the unexpected occurred. The police heard from the last of the killers - the one who was killing the coeds.

He had stopped the spree himself. On April 23, , the Santa Cruz police received a call that they could not quite believe.

It was from a phone booth in Pueblo , Colorado , from a twenty-four-year-old man who had eaten with them, drank with them, and talked with them for hours: Big Ed, or Edmund Kemper.

And now he was telling them that he had committed murder -- in fact, a double homicide four days earlier, and then some.

He had killed his mother, Clarnell Strandberg, on Good Friday. Then he'd gone drinking with his cop buddies. He'd returned and invited his mother's friend, Sara "Sally" Hallett, over for dinner and a movie.

She was delighted. When she arrived, he'd killed her, too, and removed her head. Both bodies were stuffed into closets in his mother's duplex on Ord Drive.

Kemper explained that after leaving the house, he had driven for several days, had dropped off one car and rented a green Chevy Impala, and had finally decided to turn himself in.

He'd been taking No-Doz for three days and felt half crazy. He listed half a dozen other murders that they had yet to solve, referring over and over to "the coeds.

He had rounds of ammo and three guns in the car that scared him, and he was turning himself in. But the officer who took the first call believed it was a prank, says David Everitt in Human Monsters.

He suggested the young man call again later. Kemper did so, but once again had a difficult time convincing the person at the other end of the line to take him seriously.

Those who knew him believed it was all some practical joke. He continued to place calls until he was able to persuade an officer to go check out his mother's house.

He said that an officer, Sergeant Aluffi, had been there not long before to confiscate the. Alluffi would know. Sergeant Aluffi did indeed know, and went to the home himself.

As he entered, he smelled the putrid odor of decomposition. When he opened a closet and saw blood and hair, he secured the scene and called in the coroner and detectives.

To their amazement, they found the two bodies, just as Kemper had described. Both had been decapitated, and Clarnell had been battered and apparently used for dart practice.

Her tongue and larynx, Kemper had said, were chopped up, having been placed in the garbage disposal, which had spit them back out.

Investigators now realized why the "Coed Butcher" had eluded them for so long. As John Douglas put it upon hearing how Kemper had been privy at the jury room and the investigation details, "He was analyzing what he was doing and learning to perfect his technique.

But he also had not come across as a killer. He had learned how to make people feel safe around him, and that was probably how he had found ways to get girls into his cars, despite warnings issued to students throughout the area.

DA Peter Chang and a party of detectives traveled across three states to pick Kemper up from detention, where local police had placed him, and they found him waiting calmly for him.

He seemed to know that he was dangerous and unable to control himself, and understood that he needed to be locked up. He was willing to talk and twice waived his right to an attorney though he would later say that he'd asked for a lawyer.

The story that unfolded was as bizarre as any they had yet heard. He went on for hours, confessing everything that he had done to the six coeds, his mother and her friend.

Adding these to the murders of his grandparents years earlier, he had committed ten murders in all. To prove his tale, he took detectives to areas where he had buried or tossed parts of his victims that had not yet been found.

He described having sex with the heads of his victims and said that he'd loved the feeling of totally possessing them and their property. The stories would grow worse during the trial, thanks to psychiatric probing, and both sides set about finding out what they could do about this disturbing young man.

Kemper III was the second child for E. Edmund Jr. He had a sister six years older and a sister two and a half years younger.

Ed was close to his father, but E. It was a difficult separation for Edmund, nicknamed Guy, and he claimed that to toughen him up, his mother locked him in the basement.

He would eventually provide several different motives for this behavior, depending on who was interviewing him.

He believed that he must have been a constant prickly reminder to his mother. He hated her but often spoke as if he understood her motives and behavior.

In many different interviews, he described his fear and anger growing up, along with the things he envisioned doing. He said that when he killed the family cat, placing its head on an altar, he had felt empowered after persuasively lying about it.

Everitt indicates that by the time he was ten, he was already thinking about females in sexual terms. He was also developing a violent inner world.

They didn't ask me a lot of questions about myself and that was probably the most violent fantasy time I was off into. Stories from his sisters involved disconcerting memories.

One goaded him to kiss a teacher, says Frazier, and he apparently said that if he did, he'd then have to kill her. His younger sister recalled that he often cut the heads off her dolls.

His mother apparently relegated him to the basement to keep him away from the girls because she did not trust him.

Her instincts were apparently right; Kemper has said, "I lived as an ordinary person most of my life, even though I was living a parallel and increasingly violent other life.

When he was thirteen, Kemper slaughtered his own pet cat with a machete and stuffed the remains in his closet which his mother found.

Cheney offers gruesome details of this episode from Kemper's descriptions. Kemper also ran away from home that year to go live with his father.

He was certain it would be a better life for him, but after he arrived, he eventually learned that his father, who had remarried and had another son, was not quite as happy to see him as he'd hoped.

But Clarnell, too, was unwilling to have him, because she was planning to marry her third husband, and this overgrown adolescent was a handful.

Her solution was to pack Ed up and send him to his father's parents' ranch in California. On Mugshots , Kemper says that his father actually sent him there, and Frazier indicates that Kemper ran away twice, and the second time he ended up with his grandparents.

Now she's going to undo all the terrible things that my mother did to me. I'm going to be a showpiece.

She's going to show the world that my mother was a lousy parent. I'm going to be a pawn in this little game. The experience was unpleasant for him.

Ultimately, it was here with Maude and Edmund Kemper Sr. Once he got out of the psychiatric hospital, he set his sights on becoming a police officer.

Lunde points out that there were no psychologists or psychiatrists on the parole board that released him, and no follow-up psychiatric care. He was disappointed and unable to find appropriate alternative employment.

Although he shared an apartment with a friend, he was afraid he might end up living with his mother. In fact, he did, and that proved the undoing of them both.

As Clarnell had done with her three ex-husbands, she attacked Edmund on many occasions, aiming at his manhood and sense of worth. Although he wanted to socialize, she refused to introduce him to women on campus.

You don't deserve to get to know them. He knew a way to get them on his terms. Kemper had picked up many hitchhikers.

It's a daring kind of thing. First there wasn't a gun. I'm driving along. We go to a vulnerable place, where there aren't people watching, where I could act out and I say, 'No, I can't.

And this craving, this awful raging eating feeling inside, this fantastic passion. It was overwhelming me. It was like drugs. It was like alcohol.

A little isn't enough. The experience changed for him on May 7, Even before Mullin began his reign of terror in the area, Kemper decided to make his move.

For example, he learned how to keep the car door locked once the girls were inside. He also knew how to give them the impression that they were safe with him.

Clarnell had acquired a university sticker for Kemper's Ford, which made it easy for him to go in and out of the campus without raising suspicion.

It should be noted that coworkers at the university found Clarnell charming and easy to get along with, which differed from Edmund's version.

She did give him assistance and allowed him to live with her. He wanted to rape them, but decided on murder to leave no witnesses.

And it's two people, not one. And they're dead. It wasn't far to Stanford, perhaps an hour, so Kemper said he was willing to take them all the way.

They couldn't believe their luck, but their glee soon turned to terror. Kemper drove off the highway and came to rest on a dirt road.

The girls sensed that something was amiss. As if to intensify his own game, he told them that he intended to rape them and that he was going to take them to his apartment, although he had learned from listening to the stories of rapists in Atascadero that it was better to leave no witnesses.

Handcuffing Pesce to the back seat, he forced Luchessa into the trunk of the car. He then tried unsuccessfully to smother Pesce and to stab her.

The knife blade hit her backbone and would not enter, but she felt the pain and put up a tremendous struggle. She also bit through the bag that he had placed over her head.

Finally, he slit her throat and killed her. He then turned his attention to Luchessa and killed her as well, though it was an ordeal he hadn't expected.

Now he had two corpses all to himself. And he was nearly caught, as the police learned during his confession. As he drove toward Alameda , he was stopped for a broken taillight.

He maintained a calm, polite attitude and got off with a mere warning. During the entire encounter, Kemper later said, he was excited.

Had the officer decided to do a routine check and look into the trunk, Kemper would have killed him on the spot. In Alameda , his roommate was out, so he knew he could work on the bodies there without being disturbed.

Wrapping them in blankets, he placed them in the trunk of his car and drove to his apartment. There he brought the bodies inside and laid them on the floor.

His own confessions provide the details. He took them into his own bedroom, where he photographed them.

As he removed parts from them, he took more photographs and paused from time to time to savor the erotic moments of possessing them so completely.

He said that he also engaged in sexual acts with the severed parts. Placing Pesce's parts in a bag, he left them in a shallow grave in the mountains, making sure to remember the place for later visits.

He used her head for sex before tossing it into a ravine, along with Luchessa's head. He then fell back into his habit of picking up girls and taking them safely to their destinations.

He would even talk to his riders about the man who was killing female hitchhikers, all the while evaluating each as a potential victim.

He continued with this activity until September 14, That's the day he picked up Aiko Koo, who had given up waiting for her bus and hitched a ride.

He'd been feeling the energy that inspired his fantasies of murder. This girl seemed perfect for his next grim venture.

He was surprised that she was only fifteen, but determined to carry out his plan. About that encounter, Kemper said: "I pulled the gun out to show her I had it Then I put the gun away and that had more effect on her than pulling it out.

He pinched her nostrils to force her to black out, says Frazier, and raped her. Then he strangled her until he was sure she was dead and rode around with her body in the trunk of his car.

He had a few drinks before taking her home to dismember and dissect her in the same manner he had done with his first two victims.

Once he had tasted this power over women, he knew, it was only a matter of time before he'd want it again.

But first he had to prepare to convince the psychiatrists who were monitoring his case that he was "cured. The day after he killed Aiko Koo, Kemper went before a panel of psychiatrists as a follow-up requirement for parole.

He'd done well in school, had tried finding a job, and as far as anyone knew, he had stayed out of trouble. He knew what they wanted to hear and he put on his best act.

The first doctor talked with him for a while and indicated that he saw no reason to consider Kemper a danger to anyone.

The second one actually used the words "normal" and "safe," according to Cheney. Both recommended the sealing of his juvenile records as a way to help him to become a better citizen.

Yet even as the two psychiatrists congratulated themselves on being part of a system that had rehabilitated a child killer, Kemper delighted in his secret.

Damio writes that not only had killed a girl the day before the analysis, but he had her head in the trunk of his car outside, which Kemper disputes.

Once again, he was in the game. He had succeeded at convincing the learned professionals that he was something other than he really was, and they had wrongly inferred that he was "no longer a danger.

Thus, eight years after he had killed his grandparents, Kemper gained his freedom. As he drove away with a clean bill of mental health, he felt pleased.

Now he was free to continue with his experiments. He found a place to bury Koo's head and hands above Boulder Creek, and there they remained undiscovered until the following May.

Auf die Frage in einem späteren Interview, warum er sich selbst übergeben habe, sagte Kemper: "Der ursprüngliche Zweck war verschwunden William Choyce. Du willst den Fall diskutieren? Sie soll Ed Kemper neurotische, dominierende Alkoholikerin gewesen sein, Olivia Munn Feet ihn immer wieder hänselte, erniedrigte und verbal missbrauchte. Es las:. Einige Stunden später rief Kemper erneut an und bat um ein Gespräch mit einem Offizier, den Hunter X Hunter 2019 persönlich Was Gibt Es Heute Im Tv. Bei den nächsten fünf Morden ging Kemper immer nach einem ähnlichen Muster vor. Ripper Crew.

Edmund Kemper III - Wanna be cop turns deadly - Mystery\u0026Makeup - GRWM - Bailey Sarian

After he was found guilty of first degree murder on 8 November and was sent to a maximum security prison for life. Kemper is still behind bars and is serving his eight life sentences in the California Medical Facility in Vacaville.

He allegedly likes his life in prison, and has so far waived his right to parole hearings since His half-brother David Weber, an alias he uses to protect his identity, has spoken in the past about how he fears Kemper will be released from prison.

He told Dailymail. I think that he has never told anyone the truth about things he has done. I would suspect he is holding back a good 20 to 30 per cent of the truth about himself, his past, and how he thinks.

Free gym, free food, free housekeeping. Thanks to liberals, he has it good. He was sent to a maximum security facility for the criminally insane and granted parole when he was Ed Kemper then turned himself into the police after calling his mother and asking what to do.

He was consequently then sent to the criminally insane unit of Atascadero State Hospital. It was there that he was first tested for his IQ and learned of his high score.

He still had to check in with probation psychologists, but knew what to say to them from his experiences at Atascadero and was considered a low risk.

It was at this time that Kemper embarked on his infamous murder spree where he would pick up young women who were hitchhiking and murder them, have sex with their corpses, and dismember their bodies.

Kemper brought the women to a wooded area nearby where he originally intended to rape them, but panicked and ended up stabbing and choking the two women to death.

He then stuffed their bodies in his trunk and drove over to his house in Alameda where he was living at the time.

On the way, a police officer stopped him for a broken taillight but did not search the car. Once home, Kemper raped the bodies before dismembering them, placing the pieces of the bodies in plastic bags, and disposing of them in a ravine near Loma Prieta Mountain.

Kemper continued this formula of murder on his next victim, year-old Korean dance student Aiko Koo. During this encounter, Kemper accidentally locked himself out of his car but was able to persuade Koo to let him back in.

By early , Kemper had run out of funds and moved back in with his mother at her home on the UC Santa Cruz campus.

There he continued his killings, murdering three more college students he picked up around the campus.

Yet even as the two psychiatrists congratulated themselves on being part of a system that had rehabilitated a child killer, Kemper delighted in his secret.

Damio writes that not only had killed a girl the day before the analysis, but he had her head in the trunk of his car outside, which Kemper disputes.

Once again, he was in the game. He had succeeded at convincing the learned professionals that he was something other than he really was, and they had wrongly inferred that he was "no longer a danger.

Thus, eight years after he had killed his grandparents, Kemper gained his freedom. As he drove away with a clean bill of mental health, he felt pleased.

Now he was free to continue with his experiments. He found a place to bury Koo's head and hands above Boulder Creek, and there they remained undiscovered until the following May.

And he was not finished. While he laid low for a while, he kept fantasizing about taking the lives of those young women.

He kept trophies and photographs of his grisly work to help renew the experience, and as he clashed with his mother time and again, the urge to kill built up within him.

Later, Kemper tried to explain his motive for these crimes: "My frustration. My inability to communicate socially, sexually.

I wasn't impotent. I was scared to death of failing in male-female relationships. He purchased a. The one he found was named Cindy Schall, who accepted a ride with him on January 7, Again, he drove to a secluded area and shot her quickly.

He wasn't interested in torture. He just wanted a body to handle. He was now living with his mother again, and he took the corpse home to dismember her in the bathtub.

He kept her overnight in his room and then beheaded her, burying the head in the backyard. He threw the body parts over a cliff, but they quickly washed up onto the beach.

Still, he knew they could not tie it to him. He'd removed the bullet from the head. And he was right. No one suspected him.

On February 5, after a horrendous argument with his mother, Kemper went out again. That's when Rosalind Thorpe and Allison Liu disappeared from campus.

He picked up Rosalind first, and her presence in the car apparently reassured Allison, who willingly got in. I remarked on the beautiful view.

I hesitated for several seconds. I had been moving my pistol from down below my leg in my lap. I picked it up and pulled the trigger.

As I fired, she fell against the window. Miss Liu panicked. I had to fire through her hands. She was moving around and I missed twice. He hit her in the temple, and he aimed again and fired.

But she was still alive as he approached the university gate. This part of the story varies according to different accounts. One account indicates that she was already dead, but another describes her breathing loudly and moaning.

Two young men were at the security gate, but when they saw Kemper's university sticker, they waved him through. The two women were wrapped in blankets, and one of them was in the front passenger seat.

He told some interviewers later that he explained to the guard that these girls were drunk and he was trying to get them back to their dorms. The guard apparently accepted the story, and Kemper decided that he was as good as invisible: "It was getting easier to do.

I was getting better at it. He took the girls' bodies to his mother's home and dismembered and beheaded them with his mother nearby and neighbors around.

Another account says that he beheaded them outside in the car and then took one headless corpse inside to have sex. He was aware that a neighbor only had to walk by and look in the window and see what he was doing in order to catch him.

But no one did. The next morning, he deposited the limbs in the ocean and around the hills, tossing the heads away separately. His fourth episode of killing had been successfully completed.

It would not be long before he vented his rage closer to home. After killing six young women, the six-foot-nine giant turned his anger against his ultimate target: his mother.

While most experts later claim that his killing was really about symbolic rehearsal for killing his mother, and once he'd dispatched her, he no longer needed to kill, Kemper's explanation is quite different.

He indicated in an interview that he had sensed the cops closing in after Sergeant Aluffi had paid him a call about his gun and he wanted to spare his mother the embarrassment of learning that he was the "Coed Butcher.

Kemper also said that he feared that his mother had found the items he had taken from the women he'd killed. He wondered if he should flee or kill her.

She knows all my buttons and I dance like a puppet. She went out with friends one evening and came home tipsy from alcohol although some accounts say nothing about her inebriated state.

Kemper went into her room, and according to him, she said, "I suppose you want to talk now. In his interview, he said he then started to cry and put his hand to his mouth.

It was the first time he had broken his composure. He'd spoken about the other murders with no show of guilt, compassion or remorse, but his mother's death was another matter.

He waited for her to go to bed, he said, and then went into her room with a claw hammer. She was dead, because of the way she raised her son. He put her head on the mantel and said what he wanted to say.

He also threw darts. For the first time, she did not argue with him. That felt satisfying, but he also knew it was over for him.

He would undoubtedly be linked to this crime. He penned a brief note, quoted in Cheney's book: "Appx. No need for her to suffer anymore at the hands of this horrible 'murderous butcher.

Some sources indicate that Kemper believed having two victims would deflect attention from him, so he then invited Sally Hallett over.

He punched and strangled her, then laid her naked on his bed. He spent the night with the two corpses in the house, with blood everywhere, and one account indicates that he tried to have sex with Hallett's corpse.

He also beheaded her. On Easter morning, he fled in Sally's car. As he drove, he turned on the radio, hoping to hear on the news that someone had discovered the bodies.

Yet there were no news flashes. That disappointed him. By the time he reached Pueblo , after driving some 1, miles, he decided to instigate the discovery himself.

Stopping at a phone booth, he called the police. Kemper made it easy for the cops. He showed them where he had buried the head of Cynthia Schall in his mother's backyard, saying he had placed it there so he could take satisfaction in knowing, according to one detective, she was on his property looking toward the sky.

As they drove, he described each murder in minute detail and showed them where he had deposited each victim's remains. Edmund Kemper was indicted on eight counts of first-degree murder on May 7, He now also took on Kemper's defense, which he offered as an insanity plea.

He had his hands full, especially because Kemper's detailed confessions sans attorney had robbed him of any strategy except an insanity defense.

But it would not be easy, since Kemper was so articulate and clear in the way he had planned and prepared for his fatal encounters.

Nevertheless, he had once been diagnosed as psychotic, and despite the psychiatric records that pronounced him safe, he clearly had not been cured.

For Jackson , there was hope that this defense could work. While awaiting trial, Kemper tried twice to commit suicide by slashing his wrists. He failed both times.

The trial began on October 23, , and three prosecution. Joel Fort had looked at Kemper's juvenile records to examine the diagnosis that he was then psychotic.

He interviewed Kemper at length, including under truth serum, and told the court that Kemper had probably engaged in acts of cannibalism.

He apparently cooked and ate parts of the girls' flesh after dismembering them. Nevertheless, Fort decided that he had known what he was doing in each incident, was thrilled by the notoriety of being a mass murderer, and had been entirely aware that it was wrong.

That was good enough to find him sane. California relied on the M'Naghten standard for sanity that was used throughout most of the country.

According to the wording, this standard held that a defendant might be found insane if, by reason of a disease or defect, he did not know that what he was doing was wrong.

Kemper clearly did know that his acts of murder were wrong. He had also shown clear evidence of premeditation and planning. One defense psychiatrist was willing to testify to insanity based on the "product standard," which allows someone to say that the crime is the product of a diseased mind - a subtle difference -- but that was not within the state's definition.

Kemper's younger sister described the strange acts she had seen her brother do, trying hard to show that he was abnormal, while Jackson fought valiantly through cross-examination to get the prosecution's experts to admit that many of the things Kemper had done with the victims were clearly aberrant.

They did, but generally stuck with their original evaluation. They also questioned the Atascadero staff's diagnosis of Kemper when he was fifteen.

Having a lively fantasy world was not necessarily psychotic. Kemper himself took the stand on November 1. What the jury thought of this man who had so easily killed is not on record.

They had heard large portions of his detailed confession and already knew what he had to say for himself.

He discussed what he knew about his mental state and tried to convince the jury that his need to possess a woman and his acts of necrophilia were clear indications of an unstable state of mind.

He had already told his interrogators that he'd felt remorse and that he'd taken to drinking more and more to relieve the pressure.

But he had also described the sexual thrill he achieved from removing someone's head and had said that killing was a narcotic to him.

He also described the feeling he had that two beings inhabited his body, and when his killer personality took over, it was "kind of like blacking out.

The trial lasted less than three weeks. How many of his outrageous admissions were actually true is anyone's guess. While Kemper had admitted to cannibalism during Dr.

Fort's analysis, he recanted that later, claiming it was meant for an insanity defense. On November 8, the six-man, six-woman jury deliberated for five hours, says Frazier, before finding Kemper sane and guilty of eight counts of first-degree murder.

Although Kemper hoped to receive the death penalty, he was convicted during a time when the Supreme Court had placed a moratorium on capital punishment and all death sentences were commuted to life imprisonment.

The death penalty became applicable only to crimes committed after January 1, Everitt says that the judge asked him what he thought his punishment should be.

It wasn't difficult for him to come up with something, as he'd been thinking about this moment since childhood. He told the judge that he believed he ought to be tortured to death.

No such luck. Instead, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. At one point, he requested psychosurgery, which involved inserting a probe into his brain to kill brain tissue and potentially cure him of his compulsive sexual aggression.

His request was denied, possibly because authorities feared that he might then petition for release. He became a model inmate, helping to read books on tape for the blind, but when he went before the parole board, he told them he was not fit to go back into society.

In prison, he is reported to be cooperative and kind, and would like to forget his past. While he readily participated in requests for interviews and self-examination -- hoping he would help others to learn about offenders like him -- he often disliked what some of his interviewers later said about him.

Cheney said that when she asked for access to his juvenile records, he refused to cooperate. Yet it's interesting to see how other professionals regarded him.

Ressler became part of the Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico during its early years in the s, and while they were on the road talking with local jurisdictions, they came up with the idea to visit prisons and interview notorious killers.

They hoped to include this information in the data they were gathering about crimes being committed by those unknown suspects on whom they were offering profiles.

A database about the traits and behaviors of known killers could offer a substantial backbone for their teachings.

Douglas and Ressler both write about these visits in their books, and they were generally the team who did the prison interviews.

They contacted different types of offenders, including mass murderers, assassins, and serial killers, and collected data on victims, including some who had survived an attempted murder.

The goal was to gather information about how the murders were planned and committed, what the killers did and thought about afterward, what kinds of fantasies they had, and what they did before the next incident.

Edmund Kemper was among the 36 men who agreed to be interviewed, and Ressler had a hair-raising story about it.

Kemper has told private correspondents, who related it to this author, that he sneers at these tales and that a psychiatrist who visited him tells the same story in some attempt to make it seem as if these interviews were truly dangerous.

On the other hand, he may well have done this with several people simply because he enjoyed playing this trick.

Chenry relates a similar story about a female correspondent who may have reminded Kemper of Sara Hallett. Ressler, who includes a photo of himself posing with Kemper, says that at the end of his third interview at Vacaville Prison, Kemper made his move.

In two previous visits, Ressler says that he was accompanied by someone else, but this time, he thought that he had achieved a rapport with Kemper, so he ventured in alone.

They ended up in a small, locked cell near death row for four hours. Ressler finally used a button to summon a guard, but no one came. He continued to talk and press the button, and still no one came.

He says that Kemper was sensitive to his psyche and he believed he must have appeared apprehensive, for he claimed that Kemper told him to relax and then said, "If I went apeshit in here, you'd be in a lot of trouble, wouldn't you?

I could screw your head off and place it on the table to greet the guard. Ressler mentally sparred with him, trying to buy time and hoping to give the impression that he had a way to defend himself.

Eventually the guard came, and Kemper said that he had merely been kidding, but Ressler never again went alone to an interview with him.

Douglas , too, describes an encounter in Mindhunter , indicating that he and Ressler did several prison interviews over the years with Kemper, and he offers quite a bit of detailed information about Kemper, having found him to be among the brightest prison inmates he'd ever interviewed.

Douglas offers a detailed impression of Kemper. Indeed, he was surprised that Kemper had even agreed to talk with them. Douglas thought he was merely curious about them and their agenda.

His first impression was that the killer was enormous. He apparently also liked to talk; Douglas indicates that Kemper talked with them for several hours.

Because they had researched his file in detail and knew about his crimes, he soon realized that they were aware when he was attempting to deceive them.

Ultimately, he relaxed and talked openly. Kemper seemed distant and analytical to Douglas , and wasn't emotionally moved except when he referred to his mother's treatment of him.

He believed that because he looked like his father, she hated him and used him as a target for her frustrations.

He claimed that his mother made him sleep in a windowless basement because she was afraid he would molest his sister. In this dark place, he said, he allowed his hatred of women to fester and grow.

His mother made him feel dangerous and shameful, so he had killed the two family cats. As he grew up, his feelings only intensified, although he continued to live with his mother - the person he most hated.

Because he had learned about psychological assessment in such detail, he knew how to describe himself in the proper psychiatric jargon. What interested Douglas and Ressler most was the way in which Kemper saw what he was doing to people as a game.

He figured out the best ways to put girls at ease and to make them believe they were safe. Douglas also pointed out the central role of violent fantasies for the sexual predator.

Kemper had developed fantasies early in his life, which had given him a chance to rehearse for years the relationship between sex and death.

To possess another person meant to take his or her life. Kemper's confession confirmed this, as he stated that he wanted his victims to belong to him completely.

It was his way of getting back at kids who had shunned him throughout his childhood. Ultimately, however, his "overriding fantasy" was to be rid of his mother.

He told Douglas that before he started killing anyone, he would go quietly into his mother's bedroom while she was asleep and envision hitting her with a hammer.

Given what Kemper has said about her, Douglas felt that Clarnell had helped to make him into a serial killer who was in fact practicing on others before aiming his frustration at his true target.

Even so, Douglas admitted that he had liked Ed. Donald Lunde offered a different view in Murder and Madness.

He was also called in to the Kemper case and was allowed access by Kemper's defense attorney to the trial transcripts.

To Lunde, Kemper, unlike Mullin or Frasier, seemed like a man who had complete awareness of what he was doing and had fully relished its perversion.

He believed that Kemper's sexual aggression stemmed from childhood anger and violent fantasies. Lunde found Kemper's ambivalent relationship with his mother to be common among sexual sadists, and they generally bring the killing of their mother into their fantasy world.

The act of killing becomes a powerful aspect of sexual arousal. Kemper's anger began early, Lunde writes, when he was separated from his father.

He laid the full blame for that on his mother, although she had expressed concern about the lack of a father figure in his life.

Lunde also recorded incidents remembered by Kemper's younger sister. Kemper had told Lunde about his strong interest in weapons and his desire to kill women.

Instead, he killed cats. He would also have sex with the corpses. Lunde lamented the fact that the years Kemper had spent in a psychiatric institution as a boy had failed to prevent him from becoming such a violent and dangerous person.

Yet it's difficult to identify such children, because they generally engage in their fantasies secretly and deny they are guilty of the petty offenses they commit.

Kemper is among those serial killers who have freely offered an extravagant amount of detail about his crimes and his fantasies.

Despite how disturbing his revelations are, we can be grateful that we know more about the development of a sexual predator from his accounts.

All text that appears in this section was provided by www. It was not my first person-to-person talk with the young killer. I wrote a story about our meeting and my impressions of him and he liked it, thus came his promise of an interview once the trial was ended.

Kemper had warned me the court hearings on the gory sex-killings of six coeds and the subsequent murders of his mother and her best friend probably would turn my stomach.

They did. As a sex-starved young man in what should have been a peak of his virility, he was sexually and socially so uncertain of himself that he began to prey on hitchhiking coeds, not as a rapist, but as a murderer and necrophiliac.

Then he began to have sex fantasies about the girls he picked up hitchhiking, but feared being caught and convicted as a rapist So, he said: "I decided to mix the two and have a situation of rape and murder and no witnesses and no prosecution.

I would loved to have raped them, but not having any experience at all He disclosed that, despite the fact he killed Miss Pesce, she had awakened a feeling of tenderness in him that none of his other victims did.

Kemper decapitated the girls' corpses, burying Miss Pesce's body in a redwood grove along a mountain highway and casting that of Miss Luchessa out in the brush on a hillside.

He kept their heads for a time and then hurled them down a steep slope of a ravine. The girls were listed as "missing persons" for months until Miss Pesce's head was found by hikers and, subsequently, identified through dental charts.

Kemper later led investigators to the grave where he had buried her. A month after Miss Pesce's head was discovered, Kemper chose another victim.

Beautiful Aiko Koo, 15, a talented Oriental dancer, was hitchhiking from her home in Berkeley to a dance class in San Francisco.

She never arrived. Kemper literally snuffed out her life in the darkness of an isolated spot in the mountains above the city of Santa Cruz.

Her mouth was taped shut and he pinched her nostrils together until she suffocated. Then he raped her inert body and put it in the trunk of his car.

A few miles away, he stopped at a country bar "for a few beers. Before going into the bar, he opened the trunk to make sure she was dead. He told investigators:.

In other words, winning over death. They were dead and I was alive. That was the victory in my case. He said of the act of decapitation, "I remember it was very exciting … there was actually a sexual thrill … It was kind of an exalted triumphant type thing, like taking the head of a deer or an elk or something would be to a hunter.

On the witness stand, though, Kemper testified that "death never entered as a factor" in the coed killings. He said:. I was trying to establish a relationship and there was no relationship there That was the only way they could be mine.

His desire to possess the coeds led Kemper even further than murder, he revealed in court. In his fantasies he literally made two of the girls "a part of me" by eating "parts of them.

Of all his coed victims he said: "They were like spirit wives I still had their spirits. I still have them," he declared in the courtroom.

Kemper did not kill again until after he bought a. The day he bought it he fatally shot coed Cynthia Schall, a year-old Santa Cruz girl, in the trunk of his car.

He carried her body into his mother's apartment near Santa Cruz, kept it in his bedroom closet over night and dissected it in the bathtub the next day while his mother was at work.

He buried the girl's head in the back yard "with her face turned toward my bedroom window and, sometimes at night, I talked to her, saying love things, the way you do to a girlfriend or wife.

He shot them both to death in the car before driving off campus and later cut off their heads in the trunk of his car while it was parked in the street in front of his mother's apartment.

He told investigators the killings came on an impulse bom out of anger with his mother. I was pissed. I told her I was going to a movie and I jumped up and went straight to the campus because it was still early.

Kemper's final killings were those of his mother, Mrs. Clarnell Strandberg, 52, and her best friend, Mrs. Sara Hallett, 59, in his mother's apartment on Easter weekend.

Then he began a cross-country flight, in a rented car loaded with guns and ammunition, that ended in a decision to surrender, "so I wouldn't kill again.

On April 24, , he was arrested in a public telephone booth in Pueblo, Colo. The afternoon I went to see Kemper in the Santa Cruz County jail where he was being kept pending sentencing the next morning, I expected to talk to him for an hour or so, in the presence of a jailer.

Instead, I spent over five hours alone with him, locked up in a tiny glass-walled room within sight but not sound of the jailer's desk.

Though he wore manacles on his ankles, his hands were free. Disarming as he is at times, more than once during the long afternoon I was reminded that I was sitting face to face with a six-foot, nine-inch pound giant who had murdered and mutilated six coeds, beaten his sleeping mother to death with a hammer and strangled his mother's best friend in a matter of seconds.

The frequent traffic of jailers and inmates past the glass wall was reassuring comfort. My visit with Kemper was an unforgettable experience, inducing a collage of feelings.

As he talked on and on, he was many things. I felt terrible. I wanted to talk to them about their daughters, comfort them But what could I say?

Kemper also was a person who momentarily precipitated in me a flush of terror and then allayed my misgivings by faultlessly assuming the role of the gracious host.

He talked about the jury's verdict that morning. He had pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity to each of the killings.

Court-appointed psychiatrists, called to testify by the prosecution, described Kemper as suffering from a "personality disorder," but said he was not criminally insane by California's legal standards.

One doctor called Kemper a "sadistic sex maniac. Society just isn't ready for that yet. Ten or 20 years from now they would have, but they're not going to take a chance.

But he expressed regret that the "sane" verdict would mean he would go to prison, instead of possibly returning to Atascadero state hospital.

Kemper spent five years at Atascadero after he murdered his grandparents in at the age of He recalled with pride the job he'd held there as head of the psychological testing lab at the age of 19 and working directly under the hospital's chief psychologist.

I could have fit in there quicker than anybody else That used to be like my home. I have a lot of fond memories of the place And I don't know anybody else who has," he added with a rueful laugh.

It was there that he became a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. During his trial, he wore his membership pin in his lapel, apparently with pride.

Because of his intelligence and ability, he apparently was a valuable aide in psychological testing and research. You've probably heard of it How's that for a Though Kemper couldn't give me a positive answer to why he did what he did, he partly blamed society, the courts and his parents as well, saying:.

I was supposed to see my parole officer every other week and a social worker the other week. Kemper said the man on the phone asked him, "What's the matter, you got a problem?

Kemper blamed the court for counteracting the plan of Atascadero doctors to release him in stages geared to get him accustomed to the world outside again.

He said they planned to send him to a "halfway house" environment where he would still have counseling, have a chance to get acquainted with girls at social functions and become aware of persons in his own age group.

People my age were not talking the same language. I had been living with people older than I was for so long that I was an old fogey.

Instead, Kemper was sent to a California Youth Authority institution by court order, only to be released abruptly five months later, paroled to the custody of a mother who was "an alcoholic and constantly bitched and screamed at me.

Kemper looked down at his hands and said, "She loved me in her way and despite all the violent screaming and yelling arguments we had, I loved her, too.

He said his mother was a "big, ugly, awkward woman who was six feet tall and she was always trying to get me to go out with girls who were just like her All of his hitchhiking coed victims were pretty and, with the exception of one girl, were small and delicate in stature.

Of his father, he said, "he didn't want me around, because I upset his second wife. Before I went to Atascadero, my presence gave her migraine headaches; when I came out she was going to have a heart attack if I came around.
