march 26th, 1995, when police discover a badly decomposed body near a highway overpass in rockland county, new york. the victim is identified at local transient, 39-year-old dana blaze demarco. dana was sort of a free spirit, described as an artist, a drifter, so it would be very likely that she would have come in contact with mcfadden. eventually, we would learn through the autopsy that she was also killed with blunt force trauma, a fractured skull was found. there s a couple of indicators from the crime scene that suggest that mcfadden is involved. one is the type of injury, the location of the injury, the severity of the injury. as i understand it, there was a piece of jewelry that was found with other jewelry possessed by mcfadden that belonged to dana. dana s body is found not far
for the death. but you re saying it s an accident. you re saying you didn t see her and you re but, still, i could have stopped. i didn t do that. you know, i was and i ran away from the scene of the crime. so, that in itself is a crime. he still interestingly says, well, i should be prosecuted for it. but prosecuted really how? if you were to proceed with the demarco case, as he s presented it, at the most, you might have voluntary manslaughter. so admitting being responsible for dana s death, as a homicide certainly would have helped her family and those people that knew her. it would have brought closure to the case, but we didn t really get that. so, it was, in a sense, very anti-climatic for us. coming up, do you think it would be safe to let you out now? i wouldn t want to get out.
okay. and i kept on going with the van. later on i come to find out that what i ran over was a girl by the name of dana blase demarco. you ran her over? i ran her over because i m getting away from the tail, the people that was tailing me. how did you know you hit her? because when i stopped my van, there was blood on the front of my van. i wiped the blood off my van. they found dana demarco s blood inside the van from the shirt i used. i was thinking it s animal blood, but they found demarco s blood. they had dna connecting me to dana demarco. according to the detectives, blood was not among the many pieces of evidence collected from the van.

i would do everything legally in my power to ensure that that does not happen. in correspondence with nbc news prior to his mindscape interview, mcfadden says in a letter that he will publicly reveal the truth about demarco s death, information that he says that authorities would have known if they did their job correctly when they were secretly tailing him in the hours prior to his arrest. i have never been tried and the reason why i have never been tried for it is because how can they explain to the public that they had me under 24-hour police surveillance and while they had me on 24 hour police surveillance this woman gets killed. we had been using a van from one of the folks that got him out of prison and was helping him. were you aware you were being followed? sure, sure, i knew i was being followed. i ducked down a side road. as i was coming over the pass to try to get away from him, i ran on to somebody by foot. it was an animal. i thought it was a deer, right? oka
