Darren Levine

Back in 1957, everybody was involved, the FBI, state agencies, local agencies, the sheriff's department, and El Segundo.

This guy killed two on-duty police officers, and some 46 years later, he was going to be held accountable for it.

It's a violent world, especially in Los Angeles County for peace officers. Some of them end up dead.

This California Highway Patrol officer shot down on the steps of this Southland courthouse. It is dangerous out there.

I'm the chief instructor of an Israeli hand-to-hand combat system that comes from the Israeli army. About 300 police departments use my system officially. Now I want it fast. You explode here like a bomb.

I've had my own friends say to me, but he's been so good for 45 years. He's lived such a good life for 45 years. He was a nice grandfather. He was a decent husband. Does that count for anything? Sure it does. We have to overcome that.

Only two projectiles recovered. Where's the third projectile?

The last thing that officer did before he died was mark the man that killed him for life.

Officers that hadn't been around for 20 years came in walking on canes.

New police officers, rookie police officers, detectives came to see in this extraordinary case, would it have an extraordinary ending?

Nice, Jesse. My life has a certain theme to it, I guess.

Yes, he was remorseful, but I think he was more sad and more sorry for having been caught.

And I'm saying that this is weak evidence. My unit is called the Crimes Against Police Officers Section. We have to have a unit like this. Because in any given week, we can have 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 police officers shot at. Back then, it wasn't like that.

I hope we brought them some measure of comfort knowing that we've got the guy.

This gunman was prepared. He had surgical tape. He had a flashlight with him. He covered their eyes with tape.

He came over to the passenger side of the car, and he approached this female teenager. Teenager.

This case was like no other case. Going back that much in time, it was like out of this world. It's like what you see in the movies. July 22, 1957.

Someone got away with murdering two police officers. Someone got away with raping a woman.

You can imagine the scrutiny and all the resources that were put forth to try and solve this case back in 1957.

But there was just one problem with that theory. There has been no report of that 49 Ford having been stolen. There's no report out on the airwaves of this rape and robbery that had just occurred.

The perpetrator of this crime turned on the officers. Officers who hadn't even had their weapons drawn shot the first officer in the back three times. and then turned his weapon on the second officer who was seated in the police car and savagely shot him three times in the torso, killing both officers. To have them killed like that, right, in cold blood, I was devastated.
