00:00But why would a violent criminal risk appearing on national television?
00:04Hey, hello and welcome to Watch Mojo Español.
00:07I am G, and today we are going to see several examples of known murderers that appeared in television contests.
00:13So I truly believe almost every place that we live my dad killed someone.
00:18François Verod, in 2019, a respectable-looking man appeared in the contest
00:23everyone wants to take his place.
00:25With his suit, beard and glasses, he looked well-dressed and, in a touch of irony,
00:30he presented himself as a guard of the community,
00:33speaking of his passage through the Republican Guard and the National Police.
00:37It is ironic because Verod had murdered nothing less than three people.
00:42His crime streak dates back to 1986, when he killed a girl named Cecile Block,
00:48when he was going to school.
00:50Witnesses discovered a man covered in acne scars,
00:54which gave rise to the nickname of Verod, Lurele, which means the man with bite marks.
00:59Eleven months later, he murdered two other people,
01:03and investigators discovered that he had burned them with cigarettes before doing so.
01:07Although the official count of corpses is three,
01:10investigators believe that he probably murdered nine.
01:14The police knew that the suspect was a law enforcement officer,
01:17and in 2021, a judge ordered that all police officers working in the area at the time of the murders
01:23undergo a DNA test.
01:25Verod took his own life after receiving the citation,
01:28and confessed in a note that he had committed unforgivable acts.
01:41Jeopardy is an American institution,
01:43and in 1989 it received a murderer named Paul Curry,
01:47who appeared in three episodes in March,
01:49and earned a combined total of $24,101,
01:53more or less the equivalent of $63,000 today.
01:56Three years later, he married his partner, Linda Kincaid,
01:59but not long before cracks began to appear in their marriage.
02:04Curry began to control the couple's finances,
02:06and demanded that she hire a $1 million life insurance.
02:18And once when she was in the hospital for a disease,
02:21the nurses found a small hole in an intravenous bag,
02:25which indicated that she had been manipulated.
02:27Finally, Kincaid died under mysterious circumstances in June 1994,
02:32at the age of 49.
02:42The autopsy revealed that she had a large amount of Ambien and nicotine,
02:46in her body, and the pathologist observed a small stabbing wound behind the ear.
02:51Despite the suspicions of her friends and family,
02:54Curry got rid of everything and moved to Kansas.
03:07But then he was arrested in 2010,
03:09when the investigators had finally built a solid case against him.
03:13He was found guilty of poisoning his ex-wife with a deadly dose of nicotine
03:18and sentenced to life in prison.
03:33Some may have heard of the murders on the day of the final trial of Valo D'Abel,
03:38in which four people died.
03:40The authors were Lori Valo and Chad D'Abel.
03:42But let's go back to 2004, when she appeared in Wheel of Fortune.
03:56At that time she worked as a stylist in Austin, Texas,
03:59and lived in a large property with her husband Joseph and their two children, Colby and Tylee.
04:05Valo seemed like a nice woman and nothing looked out of the ordinary.
04:13Fifteen years later, Tylee appeared dead, probably murdered by her own mother.
04:19Lori and Joseph divorced in 2005, shortly after her appearance on the show,
04:24and she ended up meeting a religious author and cult leader named Chad D'Abel.
04:29Soon they both fell into a deep religious fanaticism,
04:32in which he spoke of visions,
04:34and Valo proclaimed that she was a goddess who would guide the survivors of an imminent apocalypse.
04:40Finally, they conspired to murder four people.
04:43Tylee, Charles Valo, Lori's husband,
04:47her adoptive son JJ,
04:49and Tammy, D'Abel's wife.
04:57Prosecutors argue that the murders were committed to cover up their adventure,
05:01and that the couple used apocalyptic beliefs as an excuse.
05:04Valo was sentenced to life imprisonment,
05:06and D'Abel to death.
05:09There are details of this case that were especially heinous,
05:12which is why once Chad D'Abel was found guilty on all eight counts against him,
05:16the prosecution sought the death penalty.
05:18And the jury agreed.
05:20Edward Edwards
05:21My name is Ed Edwards.
05:23And here is the extraordinary story of Ed Edwards.
05:26To Tell the Truth was a popular game show in the 60s and 70s,
05:30and often had the participation of unique characters.
05:33That's how Edward Edwards got on the show.
05:36Three people appeared, each of whom claimed to be the same.
05:40In this case, a former reformed convict named Ed Edwards,
05:44who once was on the FBI's most wanted list.
05:57Then four panelists asked the contestants questions
06:00and tried to guess who was telling the truth.
06:03Edward Edwards appeared on the show in 1972,
06:06about 15 years after escaping from prison
06:09and taking the police to a wild chase while stealing gas.
06:13He was finally captured in 1962 and spent five years in prison.
06:18He left, reformed, became a motivational speaker,
06:21and appeared on the show.
06:23A happy ending.
06:34No, it's not true, it's a lie.
06:36Five years later, in 1977,
06:39Edwards murdered a young couple from Ohio,
06:42Billy Lavaco and Judith Straub.
06:44He committed another double homicide in 1980,
06:47this time in Wisconsin.
06:49And in 1996, he murdered his adoptive son, Danny Glockner,
06:53for insurance money.
06:55He was finally arrested in 2009 and confessed to the five murders.
06:59He died in prison at age 77.
07:03He just did.
07:04And at that moment, I shot him and killed him.
07:07What he just did was tell her who I was.
07:10John Cooper.
07:11Just three weeks after this episode was filmed,
07:14Peter and Gwenda Dixon were shot dead on the coastal path.
07:18In May 1989, a man named John Cooper
07:21appeared on the British Bullseye contest,
07:24which combined darts and questions.
07:26During the program, presenter Jim Bowen
07:29asked him about an unusual hobby,
07:31and you can almost see how Cooper's heart stops for a second.
07:35You've got an unusual hobby, John, haven't you?
07:38Oh, yes, the scuba diving.
07:40The scuba diving.
07:41Apparently, it's the place to do it down there, isn't it?
07:43That's because he had an unusual hobby.
07:46And, of course, it wasn't diving.
07:48In 1985, he had committed several robberies
07:51and at least two murders.
07:53Years earlier, he had won £90,000 sterling
07:56in the contest of a newspaper,
07:58and a friend claimed that winnings had caused him
08:01a strong habit of drinking and betting.
08:03Cooper resorted to robbery once the money began to disappear,
08:07and on December 22, 1985,
08:10he murdered Richard and Helen Thomas
08:12while robbing their farm in Scubaston Park.
08:15Police believed the robber had targeted the house
08:18knowing Helen Thomas was home alone,
08:20but had been disturbed by Richard arriving and panicked.
08:23On June 29, 1989,
08:26just a month after his appearance on the show,
08:29Cooper shot and killed Peter and Gwenda Dixon
08:32while they were on vacation in Pembrokeshire.
08:34He took £300 from them.
08:36He committed even more robberies,
08:38sexual assaults and possible murders
08:40before, in 2009,
08:42thanks to the progress of DNA tests,
08:44he was finally caught for double homicide.
08:47He was clinically diagnosed as a psychopath
08:49and sentenced to life imprisonment.
08:53It was like a tracing of the artist's impression.

09:09Rodney Alcala.
09:10Between tapes, you might find him skydiving or motorcycling.
09:14Please welcome Rodney Alcala.
09:16Rod, welcome.
09:18The 70s were a different time
09:20when a convicted sexual offender
09:22could appear on national TV
09:24using his real name.
09:26In 1971, Alcala was included
09:28in the FBI's most wanted list
09:30after avoiding detention
09:32for sexually assaulting Tali Shapiro.
09:34He had hit her with a steel bar
09:36and she was in a coma for more than a month.
09:39Alcala was quickly captured
09:41and spent several years in prison,
09:43after which he was released
09:45and appeared in the popular dating game show
09:47The Dating Game.
09:49However, you did leave one remaining.
09:51This is your date
09:53and I want to tell you something about him.
09:55He successfully courted a woman
09:57named Cheryl Bradshaw,
09:59who rejected the appointment
10:01after realizing that she was disgusting
10:03and was right.
10:05Alcala was not only a known sexual offender,
10:07but also a murderer.
10:09I think at first I was afraid
10:11that I was going to get lonely
10:13being away from home,
10:15but my airline is amazing.
10:18When Alcala was arrested in 1979,
10:20he had killed eight people
10:22in a conclusive manner,
10:24but possibly up to 130.
10:26If the figure is true,
10:28he would make him one of the most prolific serial killers
10:30in the history of the United States.
10:42Which of these killers impressed you the most?
