A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer.

On June 11, 1998, a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department went missing.

Chapter 2: What are the details surrounding the Colt's Neck Murders case?

607.899 - 627.811 Amy Robach

Wake the eff up. And so he keeps calling Paul by his name. He keeps calling. dropping the F bomb, profanity laced. I mean, he is upset. So then he's like, and you can't hear Paul, by the way, on the other side, because this is just the surveillance camera where you've got the video and the audio from Keith's home. So you can't hear what Paul is saying on the other side.

628.172 - 648.962 Amy Robach

But then he says, Paul, I'm worried. I need to know where it went. And he ended the call by saying, I'm going to give you an hour or two. I want an answer by 8 p.m. And that is the last you hear from Keith. And then prosecutors say Paul never got back to him at 8 p.m. Instead, he started planning the murder of his brother.

0

649.803 - 661.298 Amy Robach

I mean, it's a little coincidence that the timing of it, he ends up dead on the night of that. You have a deadline night. That's pretty strong circumstantial evidence. And that was a powerful moment in the court.

Chapter 3: What charges is Paul Caneiro facing and what is the alleged motive?

661.438 - 685.412 Amy Robach

Look, we haven't had a, as we say, we keep calling it a Perry Mason moment. But that was one, I think, that worked for the prosecution. They made an impression. They will remember that going into the jury room. Yes, and to hear someone's voice and to hear his demeanor and who he was directing his anger at and hearing him give his brother an ultimatum

0

685.747 - 708.569 Amy Robach

And then to know he ended up dead hours later, that is certainly powerful. I mentioned demeanor. When we come back, that has been a huge part of this week with the judge and the attorneys, whether or not that is something that can be allowed into evidence. And the defense team definitely got a tongue lashing from the judge.

0

708.609 - 717.897 Amy Robach

But we're also waiting to hear as we continue to watch the prosecutors lay the groundwork for motive. We're waiting to hear the defense's third brother theory.

On June 11, 1998, a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department went missing.

758.055 - 767.247 Amy Robach

It's an all-out manhunt for John OJ. Every search and rescue team in L.A. County has been called in to help. Within days, tips started flooding into the Sheriff's Department.

767.748 - 773.736 T.J. Holmes

The ruler around the drug scene was that a deputy was taken care of.

774.087 - 781.796 Amy Robach

Is this the story of a man who just got lost in the desert? Or of a cover-up inside the nation's largest sheriff's department?

Chapter 4: What were the gruesome details of the murders revealed in court?

848.59 - 868.616 Unknown

I really just had never experienced anything like what was going on in the city as far as like, you know, seeing so many young, black, affluent creatives in all walks of life. The church had dwindled almost to nothing. And God said, this is your assignment. And that's like how you know, like, OK, are you from Atlanta for real? I ain't got to say too much. I'm a Grady, baby. Shut up.

Listen to Zone 7 with Cheryl McCollum on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back everyone to Amy and TJ presents where we are going over the first week in a long awaited trial of Paul Canero. He is accused of a quadruple homicide, murdering his own brother, his sister-in-law, and then brutally murdering and stabbing his eight-year-old niece,

959.965 - 988.231 Amy Robach

His 11-year-old nephew, we heard from prosecutors who described how those children died and how they didn't just die from their stab wounds. They described the fire that Paul then set, a slow, smoldering fire, where they said those children had smoke inhalation in their lungs. So they said they bled out while they were choking in smoke. That was hard to take in.

988.271 - 1011.869 Amy Robach

I can't imagine as a member of the jury, you're hearing this from the prosecution and you're looking across the room at this man who seems very emotional, wiping away tears in an Argyle sweater vest. That's got to be a moment. Yeah. And I look, I don't know what to make of. And to be honest with you, I was sitting here and thinking about this. I was getting defense lawyers mixed up.

1012.35 - 1029.559 Amy Robach

I'll be honest with you. We have been seeing so many high profile trials here in the past week or so, even in the latter months of last year. I'm sitting here. I'm actually thinking about this case and remembering, oh, no, wait, that's that was the other part. That was Brendan Banfield's attorney. Oh, no, that happened in the Bryant Walsh case.

1029.639 - 1050.089 Amy Robach

I'm actually getting scenarios and people mixed up and who was wearing what and who had the female attorney and who had actually. But this is another one of those cases where you're. There are so many moments because of cameras to keep an eye on, to where you don't have to rely on reading a news outlet and saying, hey, this is the thing that jumps out at you.

Chapter 5: How did the prosecution present their evidence against Paul Caneiro?

1319.272 - 1323.435 Josh Zeman

I mean, but here's the thing. Stay out of the forest. You're in a cult. Call your dad.
