I videotaped his trial for local TV news


Ironically, I lived close to Bob's bakery, and bought donuts from him most mornings for about a year. He didn't say much at first, but I have a way of getting people to chat with me, at least a little. I was the lead videographer & editor for the CBS affiliate, KTVA. Imagine my horror when the story came out, wondering how many mornings were the morning after... I was assigned to the story, but he had cover over his head after his arrest, when transported from jail to court and back initially, so he didn't see me until the trial. TV coverage was very limited back then, but I'll never forget the very first day. I was set up in the front row, just to his right, less than 10 feet away, when he was escorted in and seated. He looked down for a few, then slowly looked up at the judge's bench, then the jury, then finally over to my side. When he saw me, he cracked a hint of a smile, nodded to me, and said quietly, "Lisa". It felt really strange, but I did the same back, nodding a nearly inaudible, "Bob".

Serial killer donuts.

How were they?

Good thing you weren't a hooker!

That would be too close for comfort!

You've got to worry about what was in those baked goods that you were eating. Hunters like to eat parts of their prey. Serial killers tend to share their sickness.

I don't understand the irony...

LMFAO. I don't see the irony either.

A relative of mine said he talked to him at the shop now-and-then as well. He also said he blocked his driveway one day with his work truck and he came out and yelled at him, and got all crazy, because customers wouldn't be able to get in.

I know another person who lived across from him in his first house, before he moved to the house he was caught in, and he said he always saw him leaving his house at 1 AM or other weird hours. The house he lived in when he was caught was like 1/2 block from my elementary school, but he was caught long before I was in school.

Yeah right.

I'm so sexist. I wholeheartedly assumed a camera-man would be a male. So at the end of your story, I thought 'why the hell would he say Lisa? - a victim maybe?'
Then I realized....ahhh, it's a camera-woman named Lisa.
