James Pietragallo

He took it off and hid it behind his chair, or under his chair, the tape. He stuck it to his chair. And he told police that that was his first day at work and he was wearing a fatigue jacket, which he'd gotten in the military, even though he's never been in the military. But he told the cops that. Then he said, do you want to know how my nose got messed up?

Sure. Why not? Give us what you got. That's fucking great. This is several times he asked to tell the story of his nose during this interview. He said, well, I was at my dad's house and a gust of wind came up and slammed the door in my face. So there you go. That's what happened. The police don't believe him.

John's co-worker provided an alibi for him, stating that he was with John that first morning of work all throughout the day, never left his site the whole day, which obviously is physically impossible and kind of ridiculous. The district attorney declined to prosecute based on that alibi, though.

Really? John never came back for day two of the job, by the way. Is that right? Never came back. It was all done. All trashed out. He cited medical problems and, quote, abuse by the police. He just couldn't bring himself to be out there. Yeah, if I show up to a job and then the very first day they accuse me of rape, what are they going to accuse me of on day two? Yeah, what's tomorrow? A serial murder? What are you accusing me of? What's day two? Child rape?

Is that it? Then from where does it go from there? Yeah, it's not long before I'm framed with murder. I'm not coming back. That's right. So next up, late 80s, he has a girlfriend. He met while he was working at Long John Silvers.

Hänellä on todella suurta karjoa. Hän ei ole vielä saanut hyvää työtä. BFI on melko lähellä karjoa. Olet voinut tehdä karjoa siitä, ja olet voinut olla siellä 20 vuotta, mutta sen jälkeen hän on tullut... Sitten tuon John Silverin? Hän on tullut hirviöistä. Hän on tullut hirviöistä. Hän on tullut hänen kanssaan. Hän on kutsuttu hänelle. Hän on kutsuttu hänelle. Hän on kutsuttu hänelle.

Only to break up with him shortly after she moved in. So what did John do? He took it super well and just tried to find another relationship. You know, he talked to his friends for a little while. They gave him, you know, the guidance that you need as a person to go, yeah, you know what, it's going to be okay. That's not what happened at all. As a matter of fact... You're better than that, don't worry. Yeah, no, no, no. He ended up sneaking into her parents' house and killing her dog. That's what he did. What?!

Kyllä, mikä olisi hienoa. Kuinka kauan he soittivat? Kuinka kauan he soittivat? Kun olet John Silversen työntekijä, asiat menevät nopeasti. Se olisi ollut ensimmäinen viikko. Se on nopea elokuva. Se on kuin olla bändissä. Se on samaa asiaa. Sitten hän puhutti, että hän jätti hänet heidän takapuolelle. Mitä vitsi, mies?

A police report documented the event on October 11, 1987, but they got nowhere on the case, and it doesn't end up being prosecuted. Jesse, the cousin, said, when he told me that shit, I was like, this guy's fucking crazy. It took till this for you to realize it. After he killed that girl's dog, I think that dude went on a rampage. He told me of at least three or four times when he busted into a house and the cops...

And the cops coming or a guy chased him with a bat or someone calling the cops. And he was up a tree or climbing a bush and they couldn't find him. Well, Jesse, this is your Frankenstein. You did this. Well, no, he's the younger cousin. He didn't do this. But isn't he the one that showed him how to break into shit? No. Oh, that was Eric or some shit like that? Michael, his friend. Michael, right. This is his younger cousin.

Hän on kaksi vuotta vanhaa kuin hän, joten hän on itseasiassa se, joka johtaa Jesseyn. John on se, joka katsoo Johnia. Jesse on niin, että tämä on liian paljon nyt. Joo, sinä olet pysyvällä. Jesse sanoi, että hän alkoi kutsumaan itseään rauhassa, koska hän oli saanut pois polttoaineista useita kertoja. Sinun pysyvällä. Sinä anot itseasiassa superheron nimiä. Joo, superheron.

He said the Greeley police were bumbling Barney fucking idiots. He's getting crazier in his own mind from calling himself that. I mean, who the fuck makes up a name for themselves, John says. You don't get to nickname yourself. You just don't. By this time, he was dangerous, obviously, Jesse said. He said the only contact he ever had with John from this point is only when he needed weed. John sold weed, too, on the side. John had a grow operation in his house where he also collected...

He also kept his massive collection of, quote, Nordic-like swords. Oh boy, he's got that too. He's a sword guy. What else? Lizards? What other weirdo thing do you do? You know? It sounds like his doors are divided with those hanging beads.

All of his rooms are no doors, just those things. That's what it feels like. He said, quote, physically, this is Jesse, physically I wouldn't want to mess with him. Mentally, I didn't even want to go there with the guy because he was crafty and intelligent and he might be thinking you're plotting on him. If you say anything, he'd take it wrong and you might be the next guy on his list.

Hän on haastava. Hän on haastava. Hän on haastava. Hän on haastava. Hän on haastava.

Ei mitään. Ei kuten vanhempi Jellerin tapauksessa, jossa asuvat paikallaan ja heillä on rauhoja. Sanoisin, että minun täytyy tappaa tämän tyttöä. Joten 8.8.1988 John oli huolissutkaan, että hän jätti häneltä kiinni, ja sitten hän soitti rauhaan hänelle. Okei, joten hän on rauhoittunut arsoniin ja eläintekrooliin.

Yes. And assault with the deadly weapon. If the man charged him, he'd have killed him. And he accused the man of stealing from him. Okay. The victim requested John not be prosecuted because he was scared of him. He just didn't want to deal with it anymore. A month later, John's involved in a bar fight.

He was prosecuted for felony menacing for cutting the victim's hand in the fight. John told the cops he was jumped in the bar and was able to disarm the victim of a broken pool cue before fleeing. He said he threw the cue out his van window. John did ask for an attorney once he saw police with the pool cue at the police station. We have it right here, stupid. This is your weapon. Having refused to go to the hospital after complaining of chest pains. This is what he does. He's 23. I'm having a big heart attack.

John insisted after seeing the pool cue that he be taken to the hospital. I gotta go to the hospital. He complained that he was suddenly too weak and needed an ambulance too. He couldn't even walk to the car to go to the hospital. An officer took John to the hospital in the back of a patrol car and said he watched as John forced himself to throw up. Once at the hospital, John pretended to pass out.

When the officers tried to help him up, he screamed. He screamed, quote, please, please don't let him hit me anymore to the passing security guard. The cops, they're like, security guards, like those are cops. They're beating me. He then pretended to be unconscious in the hospital and an attending physician said he had nothing more than a bruise.
