To recap this story, twenty one
1:18
year old Christie Johnson mysteriously disappeared
1:20
in two thousand and Three after
1:22
meeting a man at the Century
1:24
City Mall in Los Angeles. He
1:26
promised her an audition for the
1:28
role of a Bond girl, but
1:30
Christie was found dead days later.
1:32
Police identified her killer Victor pale
1:35
yellow guess with the help of
1:37
various women who saw Christie story
1:39
and realized they had been approached
1:41
by Victor to okay, now let's
1:43
talk dateline right? Good. This
1:45
was such a powerful episode,
1:47
just the stories from these
1:49
women. And. What
1:51
they went through and when they almost
1:54
went through and the way that they
1:56
all came together. You know, forget about
1:58
evil vector. This. Is a. Beats
2:00
my men. It. Is about these
2:02
reminisce about and and this matter what
2:04
time of what era you're in. if
2:07
a bunch of people a bunch of
2:09
women get together and decide that going
2:11
to do something about a bad character
2:14
like Victor they can have the power.
2:16
This all happened before me to and
2:18
and time when women were telling stories
2:20
about. What? Had
2:23
been done to them but you know men
2:25
had try to do with them or had
2:27
done with them and they were believed So
2:29
this was a pretty remarkable. Decision.
2:31
A prosecutor made. That.
2:33
He didn't have the physical evidence. He
2:36
had a very slippery character as
2:38
a suspect. And the
2:41
only thing the prosecutor had was the
2:43
stories of these women and their stories
2:45
were all. Almost identical. You
2:47
know, the the white shirt? Yes.
2:49
So let us all provide the
2:51
time. I mean someone's women independently.
2:54
You know, be telling these stories if
2:56
it was or same guys. Could.
2:58
You imagine be one of them and
3:00
hearing In having gone through an experience
3:03
I sat and then you hear about
3:05
somebody who's gone missing who told her
3:07
roommate exactly the same story that this
3:09
slippery character told you. Year
3:12
before. Two years before. Ten
3:14
years before and I'll come
3:16
to an audition for a
3:18
Bond movie where mans white
3:20
dress shirt and a micro
3:22
mini skirt and sparkly tights
3:24
and sky high heels and.
3:26
I'll bring the I. I mean he had
3:29
a scratches. And. And it's
3:31
apropos, you know, saying scrapped. When we're
3:33
talking about Ahmed, where we're talking
3:35
about movies, Where's yours now? Women
3:37
In. L. A. Are.
3:40
Drawn by. Things.
3:42
Like that all year many of the
3:44
women who were approached and attacked ah
3:46
where women who had gone to L
3:48
A specifically because they were interested in
3:50
the movies in one way or another.
3:54
Christie, See. The victim
3:56
in this case and wonder where behind
3:58
the scenes though never knows. It
4:00
was also. In. Of had
4:02
somebody come along with the and apart for issue and
4:04
of and jump out of the soon as the uniform.
4:07
Yeah. Gorgeous and but also had real
4:10
acting ability. Had some passed in in
4:12
in dance and and acting and will
4:14
you know was a real prospect. so
4:16
when somebody came and offered her a
4:18
a a possibility like that. She's.
4:21
Out the you know her ship
4:23
examine and who wouldn't sector is
4:25
technique was was exceeding the clever.
4:29
He was a smart guy.
4:31
He dressed well. He looked
4:33
good. He was tall and
4:35
relatively handsome. He came off
4:37
like a very serious Sam
4:39
industry person. Yeah. And I
4:41
am me. I was texting it before. The podcast
4:43
you know to gyms added asking where
4:46
details about dates because you don't know
4:48
this about me. But. I
4:50
lived in Los Angeles in the nineties
4:52
and when to the Century City Mall
4:54
all the time and I had taken
4:56
acting at U C L A and
4:58
I haven't got some headshots done. But
5:01
I'd cells when I started watching us because
5:03
I thought to myself, That was
5:05
gonna believe that mall. Un.
5:08
I was putting myself in the shoes of those women and
5:10
I saw it. With. My aspirations
5:12
if someone had approached me like
5:14
that in that mall. I
5:17
was naive enough in my twenties. When.
5:20
I was there early twenties to probably. Say
5:22
Yes! I probably would have been excited about
5:24
it. I'm not kidding. And remember he he
5:26
kept telling these women they wouldn't be him,
5:28
he would be a director who would be
5:30
there. I could just see anybody falling for
5:32
this. You know. A. Couple
5:34
of them you came from
5:37
backgrounds were they learned to
5:39
be naturally skeptical. Especially
5:42
if somebody comes along and off as you.
5:44
something like that one of them versus kind
5:46
of honor. Of who's a
5:48
who's there was a detective and the own
5:50
was them. Was in Susan home again and
5:52
I had some law enforcement in her bedroom
5:55
and they immediately sort of her know the
5:57
schedule. Creepy. There's some the going on here
5:59
I want by I'm interested. I'm going to
6:01
go to this thing but I'm going to
6:04
take boyfriend was ma'am and attacks. And.
6:08
And of course. The.
6:10
Creep. Runaway. Kathy. Kathy
6:13
the Boehner decided to
6:15
study psychology. And
6:17
she got a Phd. She
6:19
went to the F B I
6:21
and enrolled in a specific course.
6:23
The F B I does and
6:25
psychopathy. The kind of people who
6:27
are. Really? Answerable and
6:30
the are almost always in
6:32
these cases of. The
6:34
psychopath begins his behavior.
6:37
Usually him begins his behavior some
6:39
time in his late teens to
6:41
early twenties do. We know sector
6:43
had done anything like that. It has
6:46
passed. The story is involves quite
6:48
a number of women who were assaulted.
6:50
A pristine clue. June is the first
6:52
one we know about. And.
6:54
Who story we have from Nineteen Eighty Nine?
6:57
And. Then there were quite a few of them
6:59
at throughout the night is that that culminating
7:01
in the attack on Christie and two Thousand
7:03
and Three. And. Many of the women
7:05
from the nineties came forward, but. We. Only
7:08
got them and. Cassie.
7:10
Bullies that there were. More.
7:13
Women Before Nineteen Eighty Nine. And
7:15
it's amazing This I was on
7:17
the edge of my seat as
7:20
it's near the end and I'm
7:22
thinking okay they thought the guy
7:24
wears this story telling and then
7:26
we have coffee. going to visit
7:28
him in in prison and I'm
7:30
thinking. Says I remarkable. Oh my gosh,
7:32
and the things she did. Exam
7:35
said brushing his arm.
7:37
You know, when you're a bandaid. I'm thinking to myself.
7:40
Oh my gosh, where she's
7:42
enrage literally years writing him
7:44
letters. To we're getting
7:47
increasingly sort of intimate where
7:49
she was inviting him. To
7:52
indulge in. Some of us can
7:54
in services. and wonderful
7:56
and he did victor was
7:59
it says Fascinating in
8:01
a bad way, a fascinating character, an
8:04
incorrigible psychopath. In
8:07
other words, said Cathy, incurable. Which
8:09
is scary when you think about the
8:11
fact that this person could
8:14
potentially get out. Everyone
8:16
is extremely concerned about him reoffending.
8:19
One of the problems with law
8:21
enforcement in this or any country is
8:23
that courts are overburdened.
8:25
They've got so much to deal with.
8:28
They can't possibly keep up unless they
8:30
make things very efficient.
8:34
So 95% of criminal cases,
8:36
something like that anyway, in
8:39
the United States are resolved by
8:41
plea deals. The guilty person
8:44
finally is persuaded, okay, I did this thing
8:47
and I'll make a deal to not have
8:49
to be charged with first degree
8:51
murder. I'll take second degree murder and I'll
8:54
agree to spend 25 years behind bars or
8:56
something and they'll deal with it that way.
8:59
Prosecutors, police, courts
9:01
hate uncertainty.
9:04
They hate the possibility that a
9:06
person they know is a bad
9:08
person is going to go to trial and
9:10
there is a chance and sometimes a fairly good
9:12
chance of the evidence isn't
9:14
absolutely solid like it wasn't in this case except
9:16
for the stories of the women. There's
9:19
a chance that that person is going to
9:21
get off and they only get one shot at it. There's
9:25
a natural inclination to want to hide
9:27
in the safety of a deal. Victor
9:30
knew that. He had known that for years.
9:32
He had done that over and over and over again.
9:36
He wound up getting an agreement
9:38
from the judge that he
9:40
could confess to being
9:42
responsible for her death. It's
9:45
a very vague term. It
9:48
could mean that they were in the house
9:50
together and she
9:53
tripped and fell down the stairs because of something he
9:55
did. But It's
9:57
more of a men's lottery. Yeah, he's not giving
9:59
details. About Ice you're gonna do. He refused
10:01
to give details, but it appeared that the
10:04
court was so. Eager to
10:06
make a deal to resolve the
10:08
same. They. Wound up making
10:10
a deal that gave him. Precisely.
10:13
The same sentence he went overseas had he not
10:15
touch the hair and a heads and that was
10:17
because you know he was facing the death penalty.
10:20
The. Normal course of events were would be
10:22
that as he if he took a plea
10:25
they would please add down to life without
10:27
parole right? That's and I stepped down as.
10:30
Instead. They took two steps down. To
10:32
Life's Whisperer All. The
10:34
courts. Were they
10:36
thinking you'll never get out because
10:39
because murderers don't get paroles, paint
10:41
on. And it turns out maybe they
10:43
do. L A got a
10:45
new Dna and the rules were changed. The
10:48
new approach was simply that. You're.
10:50
Too many people in prison if somebody
10:53
is as been at least twenty years
10:55
in prison and they're over fifty years
10:57
old. The. Likelihood of there being
10:59
a danger to society is vastly reduced
11:01
and so they should be offered a
11:03
chance of parole. And it
11:05
makes sense as an older prisoners would be
11:08
released because you're no longer a danger to
11:10
society. But as Kathy one of them. This.
11:13
Guy is okay after the break. Will
11:15
be back with an extra clip from
11:17
six interview with Christie's mother Carry Hall.
11:25

Forget all your home from as it's done
12:06
well as it and he.com you can do
12:09
this when you nz that. Victor
12:14
was supposed to be up for parole and
12:16
twenty twenty three, but he waved that and
12:19
as next parole hearing I'm if I'm friendly,
12:21
if I'm wrong as twenty to Twenty five.
12:24
November. Twenty twenty five you may, but he's
12:26
still alive. She's still in prison. He's awaiting
12:28
the general hearing. I guess we'll see what.
12:32
What? He does when it comes around. who
12:34
knows, maybe hill? Decline at
12:36
again. It's. Possible. And
12:39
it's hard to know very bizarre
12:41
teeth that you spoke with Christie's
12:43
mother, Terry Hall back and Twenty
12:45
Twenty Three prior to Victors scheduled
12:47
parole hearings and I know you
12:49
talk to her on our After
12:51
the Verdict podcasts which is where
12:53
we revisit are old cases for
12:55
our Dateline Premium subscribers. This is
12:57
what Terry had to say about
12:59
the parole hearing. A
13:01
close friend of mine was isolate. Monitoring.
13:04
On a regular basis to see where the
13:06
inmate was. And to her
13:08
surprise, Realize I
13:11
was coming up. Ah prematurely
13:13
shirt and a We've heard of
13:15
other cases some deserving where people
13:17
who have had early parole from
13:19
heard and in many cases granted
13:22
or in some cases at least
13:24
here in California. This.
13:27
Was a particularly egregious one I read
13:29
and wouldn't take somebody with a legal
13:31
background to disagree. That summary and as
13:33
a outraged and thanks as a somebody
13:36
that needs to be incarcerated for the
13:38
rest of their lives with no parole
13:40
So this behavior and start something. That.
13:43
Has been diminished Troops had been ham
13:45
and prison for twenty years. Of any
13:47
saying, this is this a time bomb
13:50
about to go off. He will do
13:52
it again. And quite frankly case has
13:54
been very disheartening. Some. To
13:57
discover a lot of has broken within
13:59
our For system. Have you been informed
14:01
about off all the things that have
14:04
happened in the last twenty years? Yes.
14:06
and now first of all on there
14:08
is a process to register online through
14:11
a As A Social Service Agencies on
14:13
That Ball against Nasa case since the
14:15
family is that for all his schedule
14:18
the or is the in May has
14:20
been released for some reason and apparently
14:22
what happened to couple years ago I
14:25
believe asserting that heightened covered periods where
14:27
there was an upgrade to the database
14:29
and. Somehow a lot of the information
14:31
requests are transferred over and we do have
14:34
these agencies that are set up to. Notify.
14:37
The. Next. Of kin so
14:39
to speak. Ah, I'm set. which would
14:41
be that is the father, The mother,
14:44
The father. Of ill when
14:46
that inmate. Is. Release to
14:48
the for all Harrys. Are you going
14:50
to be able to speakers of Road
14:52
Warrior? You yourself? Yes, I will be
14:54
Yes. And there's a designated certain amount
14:56
of people of course the father, the
14:58
mother, the father and I can have
15:00
a representative as well. Up. There
15:02
will be a an opportunity for me
15:04
to speak. Is
15:07
as Terry was saying in the in an interview
15:09
with her you know to there was somebody assigned
15:11
to keep in touch with her about when things
15:13
were happening when there would be frozen. But
15:16
after you coburn did throw a monkey
15:18
wrench into that. Kind. Of
15:20
notifying process. Unfortunately
15:23
we were encountered this
15:25
no. Trouble
15:27
times did one stores to
15:29
the. Significant. Others
15:31
have a victims in these cases
15:33
are an auto was notified. In
15:36
the prosecutors are notified the detectives who
15:38
were doing the stories often are notified.
15:41
lot of the ones would not have
15:43
known. About this and all
15:45
and had Cassie double not been watching
15:47
carefully this to to see what what
15:50
was coming up on and. Teary
15:52
Christie's mother, I noticed did not.
15:55
Do an interview, For. This
15:57
this new updated flurry was.
16:00
something behind that? She
16:02
is still a deeply grief-stricken
16:05
woman. She
16:08
and her daughter were incredibly
16:10
close, had
16:12
been all their lives. The
16:15
loss of Christie
16:17
in her life
16:19
has been so...
16:21
it's been awful. And
16:24
she had got to the point where she just couldn't
16:26
kind of sit in front of a camera and talk about
16:28
it again. And I got that
16:30
completely, I understand. And
16:32
on a much lighter note, your
16:35
look, going back in the time machine
16:37
of Keith Morrison and
16:41
getting to see you interview these people with...
16:43
and I was like, wait, Keith
16:45
was blonde, right? So, you know, I'm trying
16:47
to... I'm looking at your hair. And
16:50
I think it was like in between. It was like
16:52
maybe blondish gray. I'm not even
16:54
really sure. It was
16:56
going great by that point. But I'm telling
16:59
you, one of
17:01
the side effects of working on Dateline for as long
17:03
as I have is watching yourself
17:05
age on television. I look
17:07
at some of those stories from... Well,
17:11
I've been at NBC now since mid
17:13
1980s. That's a long time. Looking
17:15
back at some of that old material. That
17:17
clip that Seinfeld runs every once in a
17:20
while. I see it. I think, who the
17:22
hell was that? And it also
17:24
made me think of Bill Hader with the older ones,
17:26
you know, like the F and L skits.
17:30
But you don't look that different, to
17:32
be honest with you. Go get out of here.
17:34
I don't think so. I mean, and I'm
17:36
being like... The process is deeply disconcerting. Let
17:38
me put it that way. But
17:41
I've really enjoyed seeing the,
17:44
you know, the blending
17:47
of the old version. And then now... We've
17:50
done that on a couple of stories. I
17:53
enjoy doing it. Partly because, you
17:56
Know, we go and visit people when they're in the middle of
17:58
a crisis. The
18:00
tail end of a of a series of
18:02
crises would to change their lives dramatically. And
18:05
then we go Aca. This is how
18:07
the media where are you do the stories
18:09
and you say see later and sometimes you

20:02
by producers Susan Liebowitz date line
20:04
producer that is. Or who
20:07
is here to answer some of
20:09
your viewer questions and observations? Hey
20:11
Susan! Handrails.
20:14
Or a let's dive right in.
20:16
The first question is from Dude
20:18
in the Deserts says they briefly
20:20
touched on the fact that he
20:22
owned a few failed restaurants. As
20:24
speaking of Victor in Dude in
20:26
the Desert would be interested in
20:28
what some of his former staff
20:30
had to say. I guarantee he
20:32
creeped. Out more than a few of the
20:34
female staff members. Of probably
20:36
right I am. We didn't talk to of
20:38
his former. Employees said he
20:41
had three well phone's. Memory
20:43
and away and that was viewed
20:45
by the L a times a
20:47
guy great revealing itself Anyway, one
20:49
in Brentwood in the same building
20:51
as mods or corpsman named be
20:53
movie director who just died about
20:56
a month ago and I and
20:58
other rest are west Hollywood so
21:00
really good location of they all
21:02
failed and Cathy Bono interviewed his
21:04
partner in these restaurants Hills said
21:06
at one point something like every
21:08
time he went out with that
21:10
one of our regulars they. Never
21:12
came best. Oh okay, right.
21:14
yeah, and that partner knew there
21:17
was something pretty unsavory about. Vector.
21:21
Or it's this is from a
21:23
Besser. Any how. Do they find
21:25
similar looking people for the lineup?
21:27
Personally I would be ascended. I've
21:30
ever wedding for their live lineup is they're
21:32
finding in the jail. What is it an
21:35
interesting is that he and let his beard
21:37
grow after he was arrested so the detective
21:39
virginia open same mates are you with clean
21:41
shaven for that line of and then they
21:44
found other men in the jail that not
21:46
enough like him. I always feel
21:48
like I would fail one of those police line ups
21:50
if I was a witness. It's for
21:53
I think it's hard for she. says
21:55
that one of things as into same rather than
21:57
the six pack soda lineup that we hear about
21:59
a lot is that And with the live lineup,
22:01
you can see how someone moves, you can see
22:03
how tall they are, you can see a lot
22:05
more about them that is indicative of who they
22:07
are than just a photo. That's
22:09
true. All right, Mad World. I
22:12
wonder if they interviewed Victor's ex-wife. I
22:14
bet she has some stories to tell.
22:18
Victor's ex-wife would not respond to
22:20
our requests. And
22:22
as far as I know, she hasn't talked to anyone.
22:24
I mean, she may have talked to law enforcement, but
22:26
not to us. And I'm sure she does. All right,
22:29
this is again from Mad World. Kudos to
22:31
the composite sketch artist and the
22:33
witness who have such an accurate
22:35
picture. And
22:38
you mentioned something on
22:40
Twitter, Susan, that
22:42
the sketch artist was featured on another
22:44
episode of Dateline. She
22:47
was. She was retired just
22:49
recently, but she was in charge of all
22:51
the sketch artists with the county sheriff's department.
22:53
And her name is Sandra Enzlo. We have
22:56
a web story about her that we put
22:58
up in 2017 about that other case, which
23:00
was the
23:03
young woman named Crystal Taylor, who was
23:05
pregnant and was murdered and took them about
23:08
20 years to solve that crime. And
23:12
Sandra was really proud of the work she did on
23:14
this case because it really helped
23:16
to make the case, right? Without Susan Murphy,
23:19
getting that sketch done, then the
23:21
other information from Victor's
23:23
parole officer wouldn't have come in. He wouldn't
23:26
have been found so quickly. Sketch
23:28
artists have remarkable brains. I don't know
23:30
how they do it, but it's really
23:33
phenomenal. All right. This is from
23:35
Kathy. When I first
23:37
saw Christine during this episode tonight,
23:39
I knew I recognized her and her
23:41
manner of speaking, but I couldn't quite
23:43
place her. I agree.
23:45
I had the same feeling that I
23:48
had seen her before. I didn't know
23:50
why. But Kathy looked
23:52
it up, and her instincts were
23:54
right that she'd seen her before.
23:57
Christine had a small role on a Frasier episode.
24:00
And I was like, I'm going to do it in 2000.
24:02
I think Ligian's an actress and has had parts, working actress.
24:05
I didn't recognize her from her work. I
24:07
just know her from the story. Yeah. I
24:09
just felt like she's one of those people I felt like I
24:12
had seen before, which I get all the time in this
24:14
job. I get people, I feel
24:17
like I know you from somewhere, you know,
24:19
people who aren't like quite sure
24:22
why. And
24:25
then normally, you know, I'm always hesitant
24:27
to say dateline because, you
24:29
know, then you don't know if they're
24:32
going to say yes or no, and then you'll be
24:34
embarrassed. And then, you know, the one time I do
24:36
say dateline, they're like, no, I think you
24:38
look like my cousin or something.
24:41
I know Josh has people have accused him of
24:44
being on soap operas. Ah! A soap
24:46
opera? I have
24:48
never got that before. That is really funny.
24:51
All right. This is from
24:53
Randy Giamarco. I'll bet
24:55
every girl that worked in that mall knew who
24:58
Victor was and were creeped out. Did
25:00
you hear, Susan, about any other women in the Century
25:04
City Mall who were weirded out by
25:06
Victor that, you know, maybe
25:08
didn't have a bad situation with
25:10
him personally? Or maybe they did?
25:13
There were a few people who came forward and
25:15
said, I saw that guy and I ran away
25:17
from him, you know, at that instinct. Yeah. As
25:20
I mentioned earlier in this episode, I, in
25:23
the 90s, would go to the Century City Mall
25:25
all the time. I've been
25:27
trying to picture young Andrea pointing
25:30
at the mall. But it just makes me wonder, like,
25:32
did I see Victor? Like, I certainly don't
25:34
remember. I think I would remember
25:36
if someone had approached me about, you know,
25:39
being in a bond girl. But
25:42
I, you know, went there enough that I
25:44
surely could have possibly seen him there at
25:47
one point. So very, very
25:49
creepy story, very well-told story, as
25:51
I told Keith, very powerful. Kudos
25:54
to the women who came
25:56
forward and the women who brought him
25:58
down. Good job
26:00
for them and and protecting future women
26:02
from him. Right right? That's their
26:05
job now is. Thank you Susan so
26:07
much for. Sharing our viewers' thoughts
26:09
we always love to hear from our
26:11
dateline viewers and listeners. And
26:13
then. That's talking dateline.
