and johnny altinger? that assault was fake, too, said twitchell, just like the first one, but johnny just didn't get an it was the prologue of his elaborate tale. >> his defense is br liant idea on the suorrface. i mean, he actually found a way to describe an entire police investigation that incliminated him to get him off scott free. >> reporter: down in ohio, rene waring wiwas following ala ihis online. >> i watched the live blog that they had and i was screaming my head off, "you liar." >> reporter: were you afraid the jury would believe him? >> oh, yeah. >> you're looking for that one person you can convince on a panel of 12 people to just have that doubt and, nou know, take that doubt back to the deliberation room. >> reporter: gilles tetreault was in court the day the case row and altinger'slpom was in e first row. she looked back and saw me and i and she just turned around. she looked at me. she smiled. she grabbed my hand and she said, "i'm so happy that you're still with us." and that meant so muc

until weeks later, when police came back here looking for johnny altinger and wondered, was the guy inctually johnny, not an actor? was he a real victim? one of the detectives went downtown to check on the report that was taken from trevor and marisa, and it didn't fit. that call was taken a week before johnny disappeared. besides, no victim ever came forward. no one claimed to have been attacked by a masked man. the whole thing sounded almost like, well, a scene from a movie. or just maybe a tv show about a serial killer. >> what attracted to you dexter? >> how he was able to explore that dark side, rationalize that it's okay to kill somebody. d of this big, expensive camera?
