00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.040
This is Murder Blueprint with retired detective Gary Jenkins, brought
2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:06.200
to you by the Gangland Wire podcast group.
3
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:12.439
I was I was working that day. I was working
4
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.160
the day shifts, and on weekends you have one sergeant
5
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.280
that covers homicide, robbery, and sex crimes. So I happened
6
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.359
to be the man that day and the dispatcher called
7
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.480
and said, we've got a naked white male wearing a
8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.719
dog collar and he claims that he's been tortured and
9
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.480
he just escaped by jumping out a third floor window.
10
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.240
You probably could tell just when the door cracked open.
11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.439
You did not want to go in there and search around.
12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.880
I got a feeling it was cluttered from floor to ceiling.
13
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.359
Well that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it
14
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.359
was an extremely cluttered house. It's stunk to high heaven.
15
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.719
Oh that's horrible. The been there, dog feces everywhere, been
16
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.159
tracked around, and there was a big old pot in
17
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.679
the kitchen on the stove that had a turkey carcass
18
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:55.840
and it had been there for a few days. And
19
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.280
then we continue our search throughout the house and a
20
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.039
short time later, one of the detect he's looked under
21
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.319
a mattress in one of the other bedrooms, and there's
22
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.879
an envelope containing polaroid photographs.
23
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:09.120
What makes a killer?
24
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:09.920
Is it rage?
25
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:13.719
Is it revenge? Is it opportunity? Is it obsession? No
26
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.680
matter what makes the killer, there's always a pattern, a design,
27
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.480
a blueprint. Investigators learned to recognize these before anyone else.
28
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.799
I'm Gary Jenkinson. After spending twenty five years as a
29
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.319
detective with the Kancium As in their police department, I
30
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.040
learned that many violent crimes don't accidentally happen. Whether it's
31
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.159
a serial killer, domestic violence, murder, a child abduction, or
32
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.480
a predator targeting victims, there's almost always a blueprint. The
33
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:39.760
challenge is recognizing the pattern before another life is lost.
34
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.239
You may already know me as the host of Gangland Wire,

spent years interviewing FBI agents, detectives, prosecutors, authors,
36
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.519
and even former mobsters about organized crime. Now I'm taking
37
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.879
you beyond organized crime and into the darkest criminal investigations
38
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.519
I've ever encountered. Welcome to Murder Blueprint. This podcast isn't
39
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.719
about glamorizing violence. I wanted to bring understanding about how
40
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.040
by how the defenders think, how investigators identify patterns, and
41
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.920
how detectives assemble the evidence and build cases for prosecution. Together,
42
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.280
we'll go behind the crime scene tape and inside the investigation.
43
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.919
We'll examine serial killers whose crimes spanned years before anyone
44
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.800
realized they were connected. We'll look at domestic violence cases
45
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.840
that escalated into murder, kidnappings that became nationwide manhunt, and
46
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:24.759
wrongful convictions that allowed violent predators to remain free. You'll
47
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.240
hear directly from the detectives who worked these investigations, the
48
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.199
prosecutors who presented the evidence, the forensic experts who uncovered
49
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.719
crucial clues, and the authors who have spent many years
50
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.479
researching these extraordinary cases. In our opening episodes will take
51
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.639
you inside one of Kansas City's most horrifying serial murder investigations,
52
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.080
as retired detectives explained how they uncovered Bob Burdella's torture chamber,
53
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.080
documented his chilling torture logs, and identified the victims hidden
54
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.919
behind hundreds of polaroid photographs. In another episode, we'll examine
55
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.199
the investigation into Richard Grissom Junior, whose murders of three
56
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.400
young women terrified suburban can the city. You'll hear from
57
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.680
the detectives who tracked him down and built the case
58
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.639
that put him behind bars. In one episode, we'll explore
59
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.439
how wrongful conviction diverted investigators from the real offender, leaving
60
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.520
a serial predator free to sexually assault and murder hundreds
61
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.719
more victims before he was finally identified. We'll examine what
62
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.280
went wrong, why it happened, and what law enforcement learned
63
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.759
from these tragic mistakes. Every case has lessons. Sometimes those
64
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.840
lessons come from brilliant detective work. Sometimes they come from
65
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.639
systemic failures. Every investigation has something to teach us about
66
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.719
criminal behavior, victimology, forensic science, and the pursuit of justice.
67
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.479
If you enjoy true crime that goes beyond headlines and
68
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.599
popular documentaries, I will give you the stories as told
69
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.280
by the people who actually investigated these cases.
70
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.280
We opened to one of the detectives opened up a
71
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.360
closet and there was a skull sitting in the closet.
72
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.680
It had had a package of teeth. There was an
73
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.520
envelope with it, and there was teeth in the envelope.
74
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.719
Oh wow, that sounded like you could immediately say this
75
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:56.560
is a real skull.
76
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.719
Yeah, although you couldn't. He had several in the house,
77
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:01.960
some of them were under glass.
78
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.919
I'm retired, can say police detective Gary Jenkins, and this
79
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:08.280
is murder blueprint because every violent crime follows the pattern,
80
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.560
and every investigation begins with a blueprint. We just have
81
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.439
to understand it.
