This is where his wild mind goes is not, oh, I helped this guy and I did a good thing.

Right.

And then this guy showed back up thinking I'm a safe place because I did that for him and just wanted to hang out for a little while.

He's like, no, now he's just going to rely on me.

Yeah.

So instead of calling the ambulance or police to have Barlow removed from his house, because he's still not sure if he's having an episode or if he just passed out, Dennis made the deliberate decision to go to just get rid of him.

He said later, putting my hands around his throat, I squeezed tightly.

I held that position for about two or three minutes and released my hold.

I didn't check, but I believed him to be now dead.

So with Barlow now dead, Dennis put him in the cupboard where he'd stashed all the others.

And then he returned to the couch.

He finished his drink and went to bed.

Wow.

Just that casually.

Yeah, it seems like he's using like a necktie or a cord.

That is an interesting little difference.

Yeah.

So by the time he put Barlow's body in the cupboard, Nilsen's apartment had become so crowded with dead bodies that he needed to do something about it or risk his neighbors catching on to what was happening.

Well, it was in the colder months the decomposition had been stalled.

Right.
