I'm criminal psychologist Dr.
This guy is manipulating people either charmsome because he needs him to do something or he stalks him because he's gonna kill him.
“I don't think he is aroused by the women. I think he's aroused by the kill.”
I open the door and she is on the landing, covered in blood and blue in the face, under the shimmering lights of Hollywood in the 2000s.
Michael Garjillo stalked his female neighbors, watching and waiting for the perfect time to strike.
“He stabbed two women to death and tried to kill a third in acts of unspeakable brutality.”
She was stabbed, and I mean blitchered. Almost 50 times in her throat was cut. The attack on her was so vicious, so callous, that it almost was like a personal thing.
“He's so confident that she's not gonna scream, he's so confident in his ability to brutally murder somebody.”
The jury was showing the photos from her apartment, and it was just covered in blood. What drove Michael Garjillo's rage-filled attacks?
For a first for me, on the Mind of a Monster series, I'm investigating a serial case that as of today isn't over.
He's awaiting trial for another murder. These killings in Los Angeles wouldn't have happened if he was in prison in Illinois. Listen to Mind of a Monster, the Hollywood Ripper, wherever you get your podcasts.
