about the deaths of debra taylor and robin stavinsky. the bodies of his other victims had yet to be found. they didn t suspect a serial killer until they found the body of ross last victim, wendy baribeault. when we come back he thought he was going to get caught. he told me he was thinking of turning himself in. i was dressed in a three-piece suit like it was in broad daylight. there were about a dozen people who saw me well enough, cars driving by to draw a composite drawing. toid arthritis. could mean living with joint damage. help stop the damage before it stops you with humira. for many adults with moderate to severe ra, humira s proven to help relieve pain and stop joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events can occur, such as infections,
woman that i would attack, small, vulnerable. but she says ross didn t show that side to her when she worked on death row. not that i didn t take it seriously, but i just never felt that threat prior to him saying it, and i didn t feel it after him saying it. it certainly didn t deter me from going down and touring that housing unit like i think he was almost hoping. if the situation was right or in her case, absolutely wrong, yes, i could kill her very, very easily. i think he probably would have taken pleasure out of the fact that he was putting fear in me, too, which he didn t. she also says ross has no remorse for the things he did. he talks about them so matter of factly. i mean, he could be talking about just about anything. he just happens to be talking about, you know, the raping and the killing.
closer than ever to catching a serial killer, to catching michael ross, an ivy league graduate and a life insurance salesman. i raped her, and i killed her. it wasn t pleasant. it wasn t a nice rape. there is no such thing as a nice rape. but understanding the motives of this cold-blooded killer would come later. first he would have to be caught and the detective who was haunted by the killings was now on the hunt. we got a computer printout from the motor vehicle department, and we started to look for that type of a person with that type of a car, and we started where the body was found and we moved outward. i took the first four, which were the closest to the where the body was located. detective malchik chose michael ross because he lived closest to the scene of the murder. he went to ross house. i just knocked on his door at 8:00 in the morning. and he fit the description of the person that we were looking
but maybe michael ross is a broken mind in need of repair. maybe through no fault of his own, he experiences intense overpowering abnormal sexual cravings and urges. but that s a pressure cooker. and what s inside the pressure cooker is rage and rage at women. and that s what s unleashed. neither jury bought these arguments, and both sentenced ross to die. i think he enjoyed the crimes that he did, the raping and the killing. as his death row counselor, ann canoer s job was to listen to ross, and she believes he was totally in control of his mind and his actions when he raped and killed. i think michael ross is very calculating, and he s arrogant, and i think he knows exactly what he s doing. but even behind bars, ross had his fantasies about her. she is the exact type of
waited till there were no cars, pulled her into the woods. dragged her far enough away where nobody could hear her. after he killed her, he hid her body in a stone wall. he took her clothes. then he went to the road, waited till there were no cars, ran across the road to the other side, jumped in his car with the clothes, drove up, wrapped them around a rock and threw them into a river. i mean, this guy is thinking. he s in control. his confessions are tape recorded. they re over and over again where he says that he killed these girls to avoid getting caught. but for all of his apparent cold-bloodedness, there are those who believe killers like michael ross can be useful. the michael rosses of the world are not just trying to beat the rap. they really are ill and we need to treat them not only from the criminal justice perspective but perspective, as well. this is a question of using him to understand more about serial killers so that it can be prevented. so i look for other mich
