00:00Thank you for calling the Oregon Department of Corrections.
00:04I'm gonna say this slowly so you understand.
00:07Stay out of my life and stay away from me and my kids.
00:16Come on in, Ivy. I'm just finding out a little more about Melissa here.
00:19What's going on? This is true crime. She's makeup.
00:21Earlier today, the person called into this show. The Happy Face Killer.
00:26The trucker serial killer from around here?
00:29Mm-hmm. And he made it clear there were only two people here that he would talk to.
00:33Myself and Melissa here.
00:39Why?
00:40He's my father.
00:44When I confessed in 95, I held one bag.
00:48What's this victim's name?
00:50I'll only tell it to Melissa in person.
00:55My kids don't know. No one does.
00:58He said he killed another woman.
01:00This story is bigger than just you.
01:03He wasn't always a monster. He became one.
01:06Before that, he was just...
01:09my dad.
01:14It's so good to see you, Missy.
01:16Good to see you, Missy.
01:18He wanted us here to talk about a murder. Now we're here, so talk.
01:24Her new victim. What was her name?
01:27Jane Doe.
01:28Dad, just tell us.
01:30Did you hear yourself? You call me dad?
01:35What's he like?
01:36Be glad you never have to know.
01:38If I don't deal with him, there is a family who lost a daughter who will never get answers.
01:46You think that you're so much better than me.
01:49You don't see how we're the same.
01:52You've been telling yourself a story about yourself.
01:56And now it's catching up to you.
01:59You're just like your old man.
02:01I'm not like you. At all.
