"Everything had gone fine and I let her go." - Recalling an incident in November 1981 where he raped a woman along a railroad bridge and then supposedly freed her.
"You can't rape a prostitute can you?" - What he said when he was first questioned by police.
"I pull out the gun. I think the standard speech was, 'Look you're a professional. You don't get excited, you know there is some risk to what you've been doing. If you do exactly what I tell you you're not going to get hurt. You're just going to count this off as a bad experience and be a little more careful next time who you are gonna proposition or go out with,' you know. I tried to act as tough as I could, to get them as scared as possible. Give that right away, even before I started talking at all. Reach over, you know, and hold that head back and put a gun in her face and get 'em to feel helpless, scared, right there I'm sure. Maybe it's not the same procedure for you. You always try to get control of the situation, so some things don't start going bad maybe. I've seen some cop shows on TV, I don't know, OK?" - Part of his confession.
"It was like going after a trophy Dall sheep or a grizzly bear." - His description of hunting his human victims.
