And this was where his computer was, where there was like a mattress.

And one investigator describes the color the room was as like this disturbing blue.

It had gray carpet.

And when they opened the closet door, that wasn't painted the blue color.

It was left unpainted, just like a white.

And there was blood spatter they could see everywhere in it.

Did they think that he had painted the blue over all of the blood then maybe?

They didn't really say, but that was a question I had.

Or like, was the blue, like, did they go with like an eggshell finish or something that was easy to wipe?

Like, I had a lot of questions about this basement.

When they started looking through things, they discovered various women's items like shoes, underwear, wigs.

They also discovered a stun gun.

When they went and started looking at the computer and the area around it, they noticed that there was a filing cabinet next to the computer.

Inside, officers found a backpack with duct tape, straps, ligatures for strangulation, and a stocking material that they assumed he used to cover his hands to avoid leaving fingerprints.

The computer had clearly been used to write the letter to Bill, the journalist, because there were many drafts saved on the hard drive.

There was also a locked door, and when officers ended up breaking it down, they immediately smelled decay.

Inside was a mattress with another bag containing duct tape, restraints, the stun gun.

In the closet, there were chains, more ligatures, boards with blood on them.

There was just like so much evidence that they gathered from this basement.

They actually had to set up an entirely new evidence room at the station just to store all of it.
