Appearances
I got married August 2nd, 1975, in Moxie, Washington.
Three?
I got divorced in around the year 1988. She packed up and moved to Spokane with the kids.
You see him at age 26 being fired from a very important job that he had.
Keith mentions this period of his marriage when things really went south. So all of this really starts creating a very turbulent emotional period for the entire family, to be sure, but particularly for Keith.
Once Jesperson is tracked down in New Mexico, the police go and get him. And they question him. But he denies having anything to do with Winningham's death.
Rick Buckner and I, we all were very concerned that at that stage we felt that he had killed Julie Winningham. and that we just weren't able to make the arrest yet.
We were going to let this guy drive away. And we're a couple miles away from the Mexican border. And so we were pretty convinced that he was going to hightail it into Mexico, and that would be the end of that.
The plane ride back was pretty quiet from all of us, just racing through our mind what the next step's going to be. Once we got off the plane in Portland, I turned on my phone, and I did have a voicemail.
I told Rick that she had came to his truck. They had sex and that he wanted to have sex again. And she didn't. And so he strangled her.
When the officers got there, he followed all of their orders. He was secured and transported back to the sheriff's office.
I remember him saying, there's not enough pills in this damn world that would kill me.
The letter described basically that he had been killing for the past five years. He actually said he had killed eight people. At that point in time, we only knew that he had killed Julie Winningham. We thought that our case is closed, and now it looks like it's anything but closed.
not just an anonymous letter writer drawing a happy face. They had a real person, Keith Jesperson.
You're breaking the law, but you're getting away with it. And so there's a thrill of getting away with it.
After Keith Jesperson was arrested, he was almost like running a media campaign from the prison, wanting everybody to know that he was the happy face killer.
He reached out to our television station and said, I want to talk.
There are eight total victims in the following states of Washington, Oregon, California, Florida, and Wyoming. You're saying that you're the happy face killer? I am the happy face killer.
It was just stunning to listen to.
Keith, one of your lawyers says you were a difficult client because you liked the spotlight so much. You say it's because you wanted to help the innocent victims behind bars, but there are other people who suggest that maybe you just wanted to take credit for those murders.
