For the first 10 minutes or so, Getru said he had no idea why he'd been arrested and claimed to be suffering from memory loss.
And to your point, Scott, it really is like keeping them talking. And again, like you can see how Noe's doing it. He is starting very generally and he is almost tiptoeing down the road he wants to go in, as you can hear, as he keeps going forward with what he said next.
Getrue, a man convicted of both murder and two sexual assaults of young women, was admitting that he was familiar with the crime scene area and that he'd even lived nearby. And after two hours of denials, Noe went a bit deeper with his questioning.
In the end, Getru refused to admit to the crime.
And, you know, there's a reason that this expression, good cop, bad cop, came about because it's different interview styles, different personality styles that maybe if they don't connect with one, they'll connect with the other.
And I don't know, Scott, just made me think of like a couple of years ago for AOM, we put this up on social media, like saying who would be the good cop, who would be the bad cop if you and I were going back and forth. So maybe a couple of years later, let's do it again for this episode. So check out our social media pages and we'll see what you think.
Interview style-wise, how Scott and I would break it up. But back to this case. You know, at that point, Getrew asked for an attorney. And so obviously the interview ended. Ultimately, within that statement, although they spoke to him for a long time, he didn't confess. And he did, though, decide to take his chances at trial.
And no, we will never forget calling the Perloff family to give them the news.
San Mateo County submitted their evidence for comparative DNA analysis.
John Getrie was subsequently arrested for the murder of Janet Taylor. Both women, Leslie Perloff and Janet Taylor, fought so hard against the attacks that they each ultimately provided the evidence needed to identify their killer.
John Getrue was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Then in January 2023, nearly 50 years after Leslie Perlov's death, Getrue pleaded guilty to her murder.
And in fact, for nearly 50 years, he had lived as an unassuming husband, stepfather, and even a Boy Scout leader. But he was also a predator and a killer.
While nothing could replace Leslie or ease the pain of losing her, getting the answers about her killer were important to her family.
The damage John Getrue caused seemingly had no end.
We focused on Leslie Perla for this story and a bit on Janet Taylor and Arliss Perry, but Getru had multiple victims, some who survived and some who lost their lives due to his violence against them. Rather than focus on him, let's leave today's case remembering Leslie Perla. Janet and Arliss, young lives lost, young women that were loved by many.
Tune in next week for another new episode of Anatomy of Murder. Anatomy of Murder is an AudioChuck original produced and created by Weinberger Media and Fresetti Media.
This episode was written and produced by Elizabeth Tyson. Researched by Kate Cooper. Edited by Ali Sirwa and Philjean Grande. So, what do you think, Chuck? Do you approve?
I'm Anastasia Nicolazzi, former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of Investigation Discovery's True Conviction.
We've often said that our primary goal on this podcast is to advocate for not just the victims of violent crimes, but for the survivors as well.
Today's story is as much about its survivors as it is about the victim. It's about a mother and her then five children whose lives were forever changed by a deadly incident of gun violence. But for Ashley Boyson, the survivor's journey has also been about reconciliation, not only with the homicide, but also with the betrayal that led directly to that tragedy.
