tonight our topic will be murder as a growth industry. >> murder has become an epidemic in america. >> the last ten years the homicide rate has increased by leaps and bounds. >> my god, somebody fired a shot. >> these tragedies keep getting closer and closer to home. i'm afraid to let my kids walk out the door. >> urban crime wave sets off a new round of gun buying. >> i'll plead not guilty right now. >> there has been a disturbing growth of phenomenon in this country. >>

. all the elements are present for one of the most sensational murder trials in american history. 7 people brutally murdered. young girls supposedly under the

spell allegedly masterminded the 7 murders. >> the 70s is a decade of brutal violence on every front and anywhere that you look in america. at the time of a masked murder there's a lot of media coverage but the identity of the perpetrator tends to fade from the public's consciousness, but not so with the manson case. it was the biggest publicity case they ever had. >> the manson trial begins the 1970s on such an evil sadistic note. seven innocent people died. a teenager, abigail folger, folger coffee, and sharon tate. >> all of you know how beautiful she was. but only few of you know how good she was.

>> and you had charles manson himself. the charismatic leader of the family who didn't show any remorse or any respect for the system. >> are you happy with your courts? good. >> the problem is he did not physically participate in these murders, but only had a motive. >> manson envisioned that white people would turn against the black man if they thought the black man committed these seven murders and ultimately there would be a civil war between blacks and whites. manson foresaw that the black man would win this war but later on he said the black man because of inexperience would simply not be able to handle the reigns of power. so we'd have to look around at the white people that survived, that had escaped from helte helter skelter. >> when the words were found printed in blood, i argued to the jury this was his

fingerprints being found at the murder scene. >> manson sat through all of this saying nothing but today he had an x scratched in his forehead. it's his way of saying that he has xed himself out of society. >> they sang as they went to and from court today as if to show they are with manson and he was with them. >> they were coached by charlie every morning. heres things i want you to do. so they would do everything from sing mocking songs to the judge to when charlie is making one of his impassioned speeches, mouthing the words along with him. >> i don't have any guilt. i know what i've done and no man can judge me. i judge me. >> price, you have eyes, open

them. >> charlie manson is a great presenter. but vincent was better. and when he put these two antagonists into a courtroom, america thought this is entertainment. >> people who are curious about the tate murders go to the los angeles hall of justice where they wait in long lines. some people are so interested that they get to the courthouse at 4:00 a.m. something else this trial has done has gathered together again those members of manson's family that are not in jail. >> the world is getting crazy. >> one read part of a letter that manson wrote to district attorney. >> i don't think i'm getting a fair trial. i'm an individual, one man, standing alone defending myself. contrast this with the facilities that you have available to you. >> i noted, for example, the coverage of the charles manson case. here is a man who was guilty of directly or indirectly of eight murders without reason.

here's a man yet to, as far as the coverage is concerned, appeared to be rather a glam rouse figure. >> l.a. times the next morning, manson guilty, nixon declares. manson got ahold of the paper, stands up in front of the jury with a silly little smile on his face and he shows the jury the headline. >> a tight ring of security surrounds the hall of justice as the manson jury deliberates. meanwhile, members of the manson clan continue their vigil outside of the hall of justice. they have been there since the start of the trial. >> if charlie were convicted of these charges, what happens to the rest of the members of the family? >> there's no if. charlie will get out. all the people in jail will get out and we'll all go to the desert together. >> the jury hearing the charges against charles manson and three girl members of his so-called family brought in it's verdict this afternoon. >> outside of the court, manson's girl followers got the news by radio.

>> they have convicted these people and you are next, all of you. there's a revolution coming very soon. >> today, the judge formally passed sentence on charles manson and his girls. the death penalty he said for seven senseless murders. not only was the sentence appropriate but almost compelled in this case. so death and the gas chamber he said. >> the very name manson has become a metaphor for evil catapulting him to almost myth logical proportions. and there's a side to human nature for whatever reason that is fascinated by pure evil. >> but if the death penalty is to mean anything in the state of california other than two empty words, this unquestionably was a proper case for the imposition of the death penalty.

>> they ruled it was unconstitutional. that will save 5 women and 102 men including charles manson from the gas chamber. >> should there be a supreme penalty for committing a crime? >> what do you think? >> i'm asking you. >> yeah but if i don't give you the answer that you want. >> doesn't matter to me. it's your opinion. >> well, i don't have the authority to say anything like that. >> you have the authority to believe. >> i believe what i'm told to believe. don't you? [cell phone rings]

a boy was shot right at the side of the car and the girl trying to run was shot and found 28 feet further on. >> do you have any idea what the possible motive might be for this killing? >> we have no motive at this time. >> the zodiac killer committed dozens of murders in the 1960s, the 1970s. we don't really know the full dimensions of the case, but we know he's a zodiac because he started writing to the police claiming credit in great detail, articulating and explaining what he did to these victims. >> the chronicle received two letters. they notified us immediately. the criminologist was sent over

to the newspaper as were inspectors and the two letters were examined and opened. >> the zodiac is reaching out to the police repeatedly and in great length was something new. >> the psychotic killer already murdered five. one at a lover's lane near a lake north of san francisco. three others in nearby vallejo. the latest, a taxi driver in san francisco. the zodiac killer seems to crave publicity. he sent letters to newspapers and the police, recounting his crimes, threatening more murders and making bay area residents very edgey. >> there was a certain kind of killer that had a way to get away with murder long enough to assemble a body count where they would be classified as a serial killer. >> a killer the police are calling the hillside strangler murdered ten young women and left their bodies on the hillsides along the highways. today the police found another,

number 11 they think. >> two young paper boys discovered the latest victim. the body was dumped 15 feet down an embankment in a residential neighborhood. the victim was a woman and the body was nude. >> this series of murders had a chilling effect among the people of the city. >> in los angeles, more women than ever before are learning how to defend themselves. she skipped night school for a week. she says she can't sleep because of the murders. >> i guess i want to learn how to maybe give myself a few seconds so i can live. >> there's been enough bodies found over a wide enough area to strongly suggest more than one killer but police say they really don't know. >> today the los angeles police say they have a suspect. a man in jail in another state. >> los angeles police say they have enough evidence to charge 27-year-old kenneth with ten of the stranglings. he was arrested last january for the murder of two college students in washington state. >> what the police did not know

was that there was not one strangler but two. >> today in a washington courtroom, in the hope of avoiding a death sentence, he confessed to participation in the los angeles hillside stranglings and went on to accuse his cousin of being his accomplice. >> he was motivated because he was trying to show his older cousin who he revered that he was tough. and he enjoyed the fact that he had his younger cousin listening to him. we see this time and time again. pairs of killers that urge each other on and together they're extremely vicious and violent. >> is there any doubt that this is a body? >> no doubt. skull, jawbone, everything. >> when did you first get word that there might be some bodies buried here? >> this morning. >> had you had any indication before? >> the man behind the killings were dean, 33 years old.

or was, he was shot and killed wednesday evening by wayne henley. he was one of two teenagers that lured young boys. >> he would pick up kids and once he had them at his house, he would incapacitate them and put them on what he called his death board and rape and kill them. >> the texas sex and torture killings have now become the worst mass murders in american history. four more young bodies of young boys were dug up today. that brings 27 the number of bodies discovered so far. >> some people trying to make it appear that the police department has not done all that it could or should have done in these cases. the police department feels that these parents are not exactly discharging their own responsibilities as far as raising and disciplining their children. >> these shocking murders finally focus national attention on a major problem, that of runaway children and what can happen to them. >> the children that runaway from home today are not the

children we had running away in the 60s. in the 60s we had flower children and they ran away for sociopolitical reasons. today children are running from a situation rather than to a situation. >> kids are disappearing and the police say well, they probably ran away. it was to the demise of many, who were picked up bisexual saddists like john wayne gacey. >> a man that served time in prison for sex crimes was let out. today they found the bodies of at least three young boys buried under his house. >> police found six more bodies under the john gacey house. >> illinois authorities today made their first positive identification of the 28 bodies unearthed so far. >> this search ended tonight and will be resumed after christmas. >> prior to his arrest he was well-known in the community. he dressed in a clown outfit for the benefit of youngsters.

he was seen as a man young people liked. >> the coroner of this county has seen nothing like it. moving in together, it's a big step. getting used to each other's idiosyncrasies. it's an adventure. a test. [ grunting ] a test that jeff failed miserably.

particular crimes. >> in the 1970s, we had a four year moritorium on the death penalty. the u.s. supreme court ruled it unconstitutional. in 1976, new statutes, the u.s. supreme court said it's constitutional and then we started seeing the death penalty back in place. death row is repopulated with new criminals like gary gilmore. >> it seems that the people of utah want the death penalty but they don't want executions. well i took them literal and serious. >> his crimes were not especially extreme. it was two robbery murders. but when he was convicted, he wanted to die. he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. so two years later he was put to death by firing squad and became the first-person in america in this new era to be executed and his words were, let's do it. >> the order of the fourth judicial district court of the state of utah has been carried

out. gary mark gilmore is dead. >> tonight our topic will be murder. as a growth industry. these are the national homicide figures from the past 10 years, every year has set a new high for murder in america. >> the statistics were stupendous. violent crimes of all kinds were soaring. the spectacles people were seeing were unlike anything they had to absord before. >> a small grocery store has been robbed. the owner of the grocery store has been shot and killed. >> what happened? >> as i understand, a man came into the store and had a gun and asked for the money. then my grandfather reached for a gun he had and grabbed the man's gun and it went off or he shot him twice and my grandfather fell to the floor. >> why did he have a gun? >> there were so many robberies in this area. he just thought he needed it for

protection. >> today ordinary citizens that would not otherwise dream of having a gun are buying one because they're scared out of their witts. >> he is a ukrainian immigrant that owns a store outside of washington d.c. he's been robbed at gun point four times in the past two years. now he has bought a gun and he says next time, he will use it. >> i will shoot. and i will shoot to kill. >> the biggest seller of gun. the urban crime wave touched off a new round of gun buying. >> small revolvers, magnums. some of the saturday night specials are small. they can be palmed in your hand. >> it was after 10:00 california time when the president left his hotel. not seen by the following cameras, but spotted by secret service agent with a hand with a gun in it coming through the crowd. the comotion erupted. secret service agents forced the

assailant to the ground and handcuffed her. she was identified as 27-year-old 27-year-old early follower of charles manson that was involved in the tate murders of 1969. >> about the same time gerald ford becomes president, charlie, in prison, writes that he has new rules. they want to do one big thing that's going to get the nation's attention back on charlie. so squeaky, wearing a red robe comes up to the president of the united states with a big gun, points the gun in his face, the secret servicemen wrestle her to the ground and her first words were, could you believe the gun didn't go off? >> i wonder if this has convinced you at all that we need tough gun control legislation in this country? >> i prefer to go after the person who uses the gun for an illegal or criminal purpose. that to me is a far better

approach than the one where you require registration of the individual or the gun. >> just minutes after making those statements, gerald ford walked into the street and heard the sound of gunfire. [ gunshot ] >> oh my god. there's been a shot. there's been a shot. we're being pushed back by the police. somebody has fired a shot here. we don't know if anybody has been hit. oh my god. somebody fired a shot. >> the president was not hit. witnesses heard the sound and saw a puff of smoke. the woman, identified by police as sarah jane moore was immediately seized. >> sarah jane moore jumped out of the crowd, fired off a weapon and was tackled by another citizen. her background it turned out was as a sort of eccentric political

figure. she was an odd duck. >> when gerald ford became president in the space of one month were two attempts on his life. they both tried to shoot him. it's like what is going on? why can this be stopped? >> so once again this nation has narrowly escaped the tragedy, the trauma, the assassination of our president. above all else, this points out the need for some additional measures, some additional precautions to protect the life of the highest elected official in the country. would ha will it take another assassination in our lifetime to finally force some action? i'm not doin' that. i eat plenty of kale. ahem, as i was saying... ...with cologuard, you don't need an excuse... all that prep? no thanks. that drink tastes horrible!

i would say, the last ten years, the homicide rate has increased by leaps and bounds. we hit our peak probably in 1972 when the bronx had 430 homicides. >> in the 70s, the bronx look like berlin after world war ii.

>> 1.5 million people live in this borough. once that smoke on the horizon signify industry, progress, jobs. now it means someone is burning down a building. it happens 30 times a day and the flames are the signal of a national disaster. >> is there anything that can change the situation? >> the bronx, by my own estimation is doomed with a capital d. >> a lot of gritty stuff went down in new york and when you think of new york in the 70s, you of course think of the son of sam murders. >> soon to be married is dead today. dead in a shooting that has no apparent motive. >> at the end of 1976, they transformed it and the first victim was a woman named christine sitting in a car with her boyfriend after coming from a movie and she had her head blown off. >> there was a series of these

random shootings and the ballistic comparison determined there was indeed the same killer using the same gun, a .44 caliber weapon on the homicides. therefore police named it t the .44 caliber killer. >> struck again at 3:00 in the morning killing the 18-year-old and her fiancee as they sat in a parked car in a bay chester section of the bronx. >> we get a shooting in the bronx. but left a note and called himself the son of sam. >> he talked about being possessed by a man he referred to as sam and the man he referred to as his father. and he says his father requires blood. >> this got people's attention. i think it was the sheer sheer randomness of it. the fact that you could be

sitting in a car talking to a friend and somebody could come up and just open fire. >> i was in charge of the nighttime operation. part of the task force. that was our job. we flooded the streets. >> we're trying to tstop it. it's not you. it's everybody. >> in terms of the victim count, that doesn't place him at the top of the list in terms of the most deadly serial killers, bu it was new york city and what happens in new york city, well, that's international news. >> good evening. here are our top stories. 100 more police join the hunt for the son of sam killer in new york. >> the search continues for the .44 caliber killer that's come to be known as the son of sam. >> he warned in one of his sick and threatening letters, sam's a thirsty lad and he won't let me

stop killing until he's had his full of blood. >> it was a really miserably hot summer in new york and everything went dark. i heard someone on the street say, oh, it's a black out. the looters were out almost instantly. and it felt apocalyptic. i remember going to bed that night thinking it was the end of the world. >> new york city in the early morning after a night of no electric power, what it did have in the dark streets was a wild outburst of crime. >> when the greatest city in the world goes black, it showed a crumbling america. then you have the son of sam on the loose. >> we always look for patterns in victims. and there was this belief that he was only killing women with long dark hair. >> i know the .44 killer is

after girls with long black hair. so we put our hair up. >> my hair was down to my shoulder. >> i cut it short because of the .44 caliber killer. >> well, his last victim is actually blonde. >> a 20-year-old new york city girl died this evening, a day and a half after she and her companion were shot by the son of sam. he's the nighttime killer that's stalked new york residential girls for a year. a postal worker walked out of his apartment last night and turned the ignition key in his car and found himself surrounded by police. well, he said, you got me. those words ended the biggest manhunt in new york city history with the capture of son of sam. this is what they say tripped up the killer, a parking ticket. he drove this cream colored ford galaxy from his home in yonkers to brooklyn and then police say

he went to stalk his 12th and 13th victims. but in the place he parked was this fire hydrant and police had the lead they needed. >> i get him and i interrogate him. my attitude at this time, i want to throw him out the window. this guy was so pathetic. it was like talking to a zuccini. never blinked. constant smile on his face. he's done, right? >> i feel great. i think the people of our city will feel great relief. >> praise the lord. it's over. >> we're very, very happy. >> that was the first thing we heard this morning. it was fantastic. it was great. >> serial killers tend to be cunning. and when they get caught it's usually because of luck. good luck for us, bad luck for them. >> when we caught him, we searched his car. the bag in the seat is the .44 caliber gun. what more do you need? then we find a machine gun fully loaded in the backseat.

on the night of the interrogation that i directed, i said, well, what were you going to do with the machine gun? he said i was on my way to the hamptons. and i was going to spray the place and kill as many people as i could. woman 1: i had no symptoms of hepatitis c. man 1: mine... ...caused liver damage. vo: epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. vo: whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa

stigmatized and fanatical organizations. >> no one else has the faculty that i do. for the meantime i shall be god and beside me there shall be no other. >> jim jones was an extraordinary figure. he was a community leader, social worker, and then a minister and he carried his ministry to california. what was particularly distinctive about him at that time is that he created a community that was united between whites and blacks. and this came in the time when the country was still very racially divided and churches were not integrated. >> some leading scientists say we have to have euthenazia. who is going to decide who and when a person is going to die.

this is the thing that ushers in the terror of a hitler's germany. we must not allow these things to enter our consciousness. >> i wanted to write a story very much about this guy and his power and the reach he had. so i began to contact ex members. they said all was not so good inside. there were beatings if you got out of line. there was sex abuse. >> very soon afterwards, the church members began leaving san francisco. >> it's a housing complex that is being built. >> he figured it really doesn't matter what is said or written, nobody can going to get me here. ♪ we're a happy family. we're a happy family, yes we are ♪ >> it was an escapade that is almost unparalleled in the history of religious movements. they had very little communication with loved ones at

home and naturally there was concern about where they had gone and what was happening out there in the jungle. >> i think that jim jones took his group down there because he was afraid to face the publicity and answer the questions here in this country. >> he was talking integration. he was talking helping people. he was talking better this and better that. >> what about now? what is your impression now? >> my impression now is those are fronts for him, i think he's gone crazy. >> congressman leo ryan started hearing the name jim jones more regularly. and he wanted to expose what he believed was going on down there that was wrong. and he thought it was certainly worth inviting members of the press to join him. >> we're very glad to be here. this is a congressional inquiry. i can tell you right now, whatever the comments are, there's people here that believe this is the best thing that ever

happened in their whole life. >> so it's toward the end of the evening. don harris, who was the nbc reporter had been walking around the pavilion and two people slipped him a note and he hands the notes over to congressman ryan that opens them and said oh my god, it's true. everything we have been told is true. >> i want to go back. >> and then the word spread and more and more people wanted to leave. >> now do i understand you to say that you both want to leave jonestown? >> yeah. >> then i remember seeing this couple with a child between them. >> you bring them back. don't you take my kids. >> you could feel the tension.

>> last night someone came and passed me this note. >> people lie. they lie. what can i do about lies? leave us. i just beg you. please leave us. >> instead of just letting that plane takeoff with minimal damage to his movement, jones snapped. >> good evening. for about the last 30 hours, we here at nbc news have been trying to establish what happened last night at the airstrip. we do have a particular interest. two nbc news men were shot to death there. >> don harris was killed. bob brown was killed. congressman ryan was shot 45 times. >> every time somebody would fall down wounded, they would walk over and shoot them in the head with a shotgun. >> i was shot five times.

i was laying on my side with my head down pretending i was dead and then all of a sudden they just came and shot me at point blank range. >> they're shooting. people die. including leo ryan and back in jonestown, jim jones is calling for a revolutionary suicide. we're all going to kill ourselves and make a statement to the world. >> i first went to jones town last evening around sunset. there was silence. nothing moving was around. jonestown last evening was the city of the dead. >> they found tremendous quantities of potassium cyanide

poison. it had been mixed with cokool-a. >> we will never know how many people voluntarily drank the poison. but other people were either coerced, brainwashed, or took it against their will. they were murdered. >> i was lifted into this medivac plane and i was so grateful. >> good evening. american soldiers have finished counting the body in jonestown. 910 died in the poison ritual of the people's temple last week. >> this was americans killing other americans and themselves in it's own interest for its own wellbeing, this nation will have to find out why. no worries boss, i'm one of the tattoo artists in the city. you mean one of the best tattoo artists in the city, right? something like that. yeah. uh, aren't you supposed to draw it first?

like the glassy-eyed lunatic that many americans believed serial killers would be. >> we still don't believe it. it just can't be. i keep shaking my head day after day saying how can this be because our son is the best son in the world. >> what the press wrote about bundy and his crimes wasn't the full details. the full extent of the barbarism, the fact he would have sex with their corpses, mutilate the victims, that didn't fit with this image of the boy next door. >> you issued a statement saying you feel that everything will turn out all right, that you are innocent. do you feel that still? >> yeah, more than ever. >> do you think about getting out of here? >> well -- well legally, sure. >> bundy was to stand trial on the charge of murdering a young woman in aspen. that trial never completed. during a court hearing break he was left alone in a law library. bundy bailed out of the second floor window and escaped. >> he high-tailed it up to the

hills where they chased him around nearly a week. he got lost up there and probably would have died of exposure if they hadn't arrested him. they caught him and he was put back in jail and at christmastime 1977, he escaped again. >> bundy, starved down to less than 140 pounds, slipped through a hole in the ceiling of his cell and was free again. >> the fbi responded by putting bundy on its ten most wanted list. posters with a picture of ted bundy were circulated throughout the nation. >> ted did not have a plan when he escaped. he just wanted to get as far away where he might be identified as he could. so he stole a car and went to florida. >> his new quarters are cramped. he's under 24-hour guard and faces intense questioning. he is theodore bundy, jailed in florida. >> bundy was living in tallahassee at the time when five florida state university coeds were attacked on or near the campus. two of the young women died as a

result of the attacks. >> the police in pensacola, florida, stopped a man driving a stolen car and found to their surprise, and perhaps pleasure, it was bundy. >> step out, mr. bundy. what do we have here, an indictment. all right. why don't you read it to me. you're down for election, aren't you? >> mr. bundy -- >> you told them you were going to get me. you said you were going to get me. you got the indictment. it's all you are going to get. >> bundy, having had some law training and a great deal of arrogance, decided to represent himself. for him he was the star in the courtroom. >> since i have been in dade county i've been -- >> don't shake your finger at me, young man. >> inside the courtroom, the trial will be covered by a still photographer and one television camera. upstairs there are some 250 reporters and television technicians from around the country. >> bundy's personality is fascinating to a lot of people.

he doesn't fit the usual profile of a criminal. when he defends himself in court it's fascinating to people to watch. >> each day the courtroom is filled with spectators drawn by a fascination with theodore bundy himself or the gruesome details of the crimes. what is unusual to see is many of the onlookers are women, young women. >> you are fascinated by him? >> very. i'm not afraid of him. he doesn't look like the type to kill somebody. >> to try to imagine yourself in his place, see how he's feeling. >> the bizarre spectacle of ted bundy as a sex symbol really bummed out feminists, as you can imagine. he became a folk hero. there were t-shirts because he was handsome. on the other hand, his violence was so incredibly woman hating. and his insouciance about that we wound up being pretty depressed. >> i had a broken arm and crushed finger. >> i had five skull fractures and multiple contusions on my head.

>> is that man in the courtroom today? >> yes, he is. >> would you point him out for us, please? >> are you prepared for a guilty verdict? >> i think so. but you never know. i've never had to go through this before. >> after six and a half hours of deliberation, the jury had a verdict, 32-year-old theodore bundy remained composed as he listened. guilty of first-degree murder in the strangling deaths of two florida state university sorority sisters 19 months ago. >> it is therefore the sentence of this court that you be sentenced to death by a current of electricity and such current of electricity shall continue to pass through your body until you are dead. >> in some ways, ted bundy is an icon of the '70s. he mixed kind of showbiz and violence in a way that had never been done before. >> at the end of the '70s, we

have had a destruction of our innocence we had at the beginning of the '70s. >> it became an era where americans began to expect the worst. >> america certainly had lost its way. criminals were lauded and killers were romanticized. >> it was the news media that helped carry this message that america is a dangerous place. that americans had a love affair with violence. actually, it was much more like a marriage. and the marriage for some people was till death do them part. >> for a crime social scientists describe the wave of violence that struck our cities as an epidemic. and they identified some of the causes. poverty, broken homes. for some, violence has become a permanent part of the fabric of life. sociologists call it a subculture of violence. the current wave of violent crime is well into its second decade. while we have deplored violence, we've not done much about it. perhaps this is because

confronting the problem of violence forces us to confront the most serious defects in our society. president trump gives a wide ranging interview signaling once again that his top intelligence chiefs may not be right all the time. >> it's a dream coming here. and it's amazing how the dream's coming true. >> catholics in abu dhabi are very, very happy as the pope makes his first trip ever to the uae. plus the patriots do it yet again. tom brady and his team are super bowl champions not for the fourth, not for the fifth time but for a stunning sixth time. we were live from cnn world headquarters here in atlanta where the super bowl was played. we want to welcome our
