In the late 1960's to the 1970's mysterious murders were taking place in California. There was a total of five murders that occurred and nobody was charged. The case got stranger when police started receiving taunting messages, hidden messages and pictures. In 2004, the case was closed because no further evidence was every found. However, in 2007 the case was reopened when famous actor, singer and comedian Dick Van Dyke finally confessed. He claimed that he had killed over 37 people for them to become slaves to him in his after life. He claimed that he loved haunting people.In the media, this story turned into a circus. People were fascinated and yet so discussed that a popular Hollywood star, that appear nice and charming would ever commit such acts. He also could not understand how his views and costars did not receive the clues that he gave them to reveal his secret identity. When he finally called a press conference to admit his true identity he finish his statement with: " Even now, though, I’ll occasionally take a part in a movie, and I plan to keep killing people as long as I can,” he said. “The truth is, I’m really good at it. I killed three people yesterday. And I hope to kill more today."
This was his claim to fame. Had he never admitted his crimes it is very questionable whether the police would have figured it out. His lack of remorse and pride in what he did is a true definition of what a serial killer really is.
