He smiled and said goodbye?

Yeah.

Thanks, detectives.

Yep.

Vander Lee knew he needed more evidence and turned to his colleague, Detective Calvin Yu.

You hear the name David Pierce.

What goes on in your mind?

Well, the first thing is, who did he sexually assault this time?

Detective Yu had investigated Pierce in 2020 for sexually assaulting a 19-year-old.

The victim said Pierce had given her drugs to knock her out during a date, but the investigation had stalled and wasn't prosecuted at the time.

Detective Yu knew Pierce had other prior charges, including another rape charge from 2014 that was also not prosecuted.

Pierce relies on lies, detectives say, to set his trap.

He needed to introduce himself as a producer, as a doctor, all these different things.

He's none of these things.

I think he might have been an intern at the time or something at a production company.

An intern.

Yeah.

They say his next step is to drug his victims and incapacitate them, often with a drink.
