Nicky Stane was that guy.

And he was managing a restaurant in a local mall.

He had been working, you know, traveling a bit.

And he was in the vicinity, not just in Visalia when the sexual assaults happened, but in Fresno when Debbie Dorian was murdered.

But Vince hasn't waited this long and come this far to take no for an answer.

Nikki Stain was a very complicated perpetrator, for sure.

And what we found, I mean, the lead investigator, Vince Zavala, the one who vowed to Debbie's mom that he would not give up on the case.

Before they arrest him, they have to get a fresh DNA sample just to sort of confirm what this old sample suggested.

And he wouldn't, you know, they didn't know how to get it.

So they actually did the classic police detective work, a dumpster dive.

And they were able to get his trash and find DNA off of stuff he had discarded.

We think a razor is where they found the DNA match.

he had this kind of fantasy life and what they found and i've seen images off of this um like you know how people have a fake account it was a fake facebook and instead of nicky stain he called himself nicky steel and he had images of himself with women and going out um clubbing or whatever it was definitely a kind of a walter mitty kind of persona that he had about himself

Yes, but what the prosecutors felt very strongly about, and this was on behalf of Jane Doe, our brave survivor, Beth,

They didn't want him to not be charged with the sexual assaults.

That was what the defense asked for.

OK, well, we'll plead to the murder, but we don't want to do sexual assault.

And they felt that it was because when you're in prison for sexual assault, you're seen differently inside.

You're a target.

But the prosecutor said, no, Beth, Jane Doe, number one, two, three, and four deserve their crime to be on the record and for him to serve time for that crime.
