Well, once Joel realized nobody was coming after him, he certainly wasn't trying to space out his attacks anymore. Later in September 1991, just a few weeks after killing Mary Ellen DeLuca, Joel murdered 31-year-old sex worker Yun Lee. He put her in the same kind of trunk he'd used with Mary Ellen, but this time he went back to his original strategy and dropped it in the East River.

After that, 32-year-old Joel took a couple months off, but not because he was worried about being caught. Murder had become so routine to him and had lost that special edge. He wasn't really even planning them out anymore. Instead, he later described his thinking as, quote, "'If it happens, it happens.'" Well, just before Christmas 1991, it happened again.

Joel picked up a sex worker in Manhattan whose name he couldn't recall. This time, he didn't even bother going somewhere to kill her. He just did it right in his car.

With her body in the passenger seat, he drove out to a workspace he'd rented that year to start a landscaping business. He left the body there, then went to pick up a 55-gallon drum from a recycling plant where he used to work. He went back to fetch the body, then headed for an old junkyard along the East River. But the area wasn't as private as Joel thought.

As he headed back to his car, there were two police officers waiting for him. And they were very interested in what Joel was up to. Around Christmas time in 1991, 32-year-old Joel Rifkin claimed his sixth victim. After killing her, he went to a Riverside junkyard to get rid of the body, but on his way back to his car, Joel was stopped by a pair of police officers.

Now, it's not clear if the officers saw him dropping the barrel in the river, but they did think he was at the junkyard to illegally dump some trash. Joel managed to talk his way out of it. He said he was actually there to look for junk, not to throw it away. The officers took him at his word. They let Joel leave with nothing more than a warning.
