"And I thought, I can't read him." "I would hate to play poker with that guy." "There was a little bit of a silence there for a couple seconds." "I said, Nancy." "I says, how do you feel about taking a ride with us?" "I said, listen, you need to understand something." "You cannot tell me anything about the case." "I need to work completely cold."

"Noted for those three taillights across the back." "[Groans]" "That vehicle description had not been released to the public at that point." "To me, it was just totally amazing." "It was just... it blew me away." "My heart was racing." "I could imagine what she was going through." "I mean, she was a child, actually, 17, I think, so..." "The next place that we take Nancy is gonna be the murder scene." "[Unsettling music]" "She knows we're taking her someplace of significance, and she doesn't know what happened there." "So I'm looking in the mirror, and she's becoming more and more distressed." "I felt overwhelmed." "And I knew that we were heading to a site of murder." "[Dark music]" "It was like I was listening to commands inside." "Walk here." "Slow down." "Walk this way." "And then all of a sudden, she stopped." "[Woman screams]" "She knew exactly where to take us." "There were no footprints." "There was no police tape, no signs." "No paint on the ground... nothing."

"[Shrieks]" "[Screaming]" "I suddenly get a sharp pain and know he cut her body." "It was... it was somewhat emotional." "It's just like watching the crime be committed in front of you, and there's nothing you can do about it." "And the brutality was enormous." "[Quivers]" "[Cries]" "[Screams]" "[Solemn music]" "He's stabbing her after she's dead!" "Forensic evidence showed that there were postmortem wounds to her body."

"[Panting]" "I see him." "Around 6 feet tall." "Dark hair." "Slim face, slim body." "About 6 feet." "Skinny guy." "[Thrilling music swelling]" "I was awestruck." "[Crying]" "Going back to the car..." "I wasn't sure whether this was real or an act." "Because I had never experienced anything like this." "She was giving us tons of information, but it was nothing we could act on." "There was a huge sense of urgency here because we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this guy was gonna strike again." "The clock was ticking." "It becomes such an all-pervasive sensation inside me." "The knowledge that there was this beast on this Earth." "This is a man who's hunting." "[Woman screaming]" "Oh, my God." "He's hunting." "[Beastly snarl]" "It was one of the more helpless moments of my life." "Where I knew what was going to happen..." "couldn't do a single thing about it." "[Thrilling musical flourish]" "The body of a second girl has been found in Allamuchy Township, Warren County." "Police sources refuse to confirm or deny any connection with the brutal slaying..." "The girl..." "Was found in a rest area on Route 80." "Her name was Deirdre O'Brien." "There was a witness, a truck driver who had stopped to rest." "He saw this green sedan go through the rest area, back onto the highway." "I was really overwhelmed." "I then knew that we had a serial killer." "And this individual probably would not stop killing until we found him." "Ms. O'Brien, 25, was driving to her parents' home..." "Total helplessness and frustration." "Forced off the road, and she was abducted..." "And the panic level of everyone was skyrocketing." "All the police departments in the area, the state police, were on a high alert." "At any moment, he could leap out on anybody." "Asked about any possible connections..." "I wouldn't drive at night." "I wouldn't go in the car at night." "I didn't want my children out of my sight." "But detectives have very few leads to go on." "I was eager to get on with it." "Now all I wanted is..." "let's go." "[Resolute music]" "We thought that we would continue, and hope that Nancy would come up with more information for us to work on." "I asked Jim, where to now?" "And he says, all right, take us up to the rest area in Allamuchy." "Interstate 80 and the Allamuchy rest area is desolate and kind of strange." "It's not a place where you want to hang out." "And I walked a little bit..." "And I turn around, and I look at the highway." "And then she looked behind us, and she says..." "I see that same green car, that filthy car with the three taillights on each side." "I see that same green car." "It was here." "And that was exactly where the truck driver had seen the car." "[Discordant musical flourish]" "He's getting out of the car." "He takes her out of his trunk." "[Screams]" "Please." "I have to go home." "[Screaming]" "[Melancholy piano music]" "He knifed her in the abdomen..." "Throwing her out like a piece of trash." "He's getting back in the car." "He's driving away." "You could see... you can see the uh..." "Torture on Nancy's face and the pain in her eyes." "[Coughs]" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "She's still alive." "And I realized she wasn't dead." "Oh, my God." "I didn't..." "I felt a truck nearby." "Help me!" "This is the truck." "There's nothing parked there." "There's nothing there, but she says, this is the truck." "She stood up by the truck and..." "Banging on that door." "Help me!" "[Banging]" "And... and you can actually see her start to bang on the door of the truck..." "Help me!" "But she's just beating dead air." "[Weeping] Please..." "[Groans]" "God..." "The truck driver..." "He wraps her in a blanket." "She's losing the fight."

"Somebody help!" "Somebody help!" "[Inhales sharply]" "[Breathing heavily]" "That is exactly what Deirdre said to him, that she knew she was dying, and she thanked him, and I can confirm it." "[Music]" "_." "_." "There was nothing in the papers, nothing on the television about what the truck driver said or what transpired between him and Deirdre." "So how did Nancy know that?" "The next moment, I'm feeling just cold rage." "I kept looking..." "As if I could reverse the film again and again, and every time I did..." "[Resolute music]" "Something else would get sharper." "But I couldn't stop it long enough to see him." "As I kept watching this video..." "[Music intensifies]" "There was a moment where his eyes and mine connected totally." "I could see his face." "I could see the very angular plane of his face." "I could see his paper-white skin, almost pasty skin." "She told us that she had a clear view of what this guy looked like." "She could actually see him." "The intense response I had inside was..." "Got you." "Got you." "The next thing I knew, I felt like I'm in that green car." "I looked down;" "It was a man's hands." "And they were long fingers, slim." "I felt that I was looking through the eyes of a killer." "By this time, we'd been by all the murder scenes and," "Nancy had come up with a lot of good information, but it was nothing we could act on." "What we needed from her was relatives, a place of business, a name." "I felt that it was beyond urgent." "All of a sudden, Nancy perks up, and she says, Bill..." "What town are we in?" "I says, well, we're in Mendham Township right now." "He's got a real deep hatred for the cops here." "There's only one reason a guy doesn't like the cops..." "They've either gotten a ticket, or they've gotten locked up by the Police Department." "So I said, well, let's take a ride by Mendham Township Police Department, see if they can help us out here a little bit." "We told the Captain we had a person with us that might have some information." "I had no idea what I would say." "Jimmy and Bill had no idea what I would say." "[Clears throat]" "And suddenly..." "[Siren blips]" "I blurted out everything, wondering where those words were coming from." "You have a police officer..." "Who, in the summer, gave at least..." "One ticket to a man." "And that police officer's last name..." "Begins with a C." "Uh, well, you... that's..." "you're thinking of Costanza." "[Echoing] Costanza, Costanza..." "Costanza." "Yeah." "And the ticket..." "Costanza issued him the ticket." "I can see it happening." "I said, I'm pretty sure Costanza will know who this is." "[Sighs]" "I may have a name." "I kept seeing pieces of a name." "James." "She saw a name..." "K." "A partial name." "Something." "James K..." "Something." "Kuh." "I." "C." "H." "Kuh... [mutters]" "Ich." "[Groans]" "And I could not make out the middle of it." "But I can't see the other letters." "Out of the clear blue sky, she blurts this out." "I'm sorry." "I can't." "That was a big moment for us." " Can we speak to Costanza?" " He's on vacation." "He doesn't come in again till Monday." "Back in the '80s, when officers were off duty, they were off duty." "Where can we get a hold of him?" "You can't get a hold of him until Monday." "And you got to remember, this is 1982." "There are no cell phones." "That's protocol." "Sorry, guys." "We were powerless at that point." "Thanks for your time." "You can only imagine the frustration that we're going through." "We knew we had something that... it could break the case, and we can't get to it." "All of a sudden, an alert goes out over the radio system." "All task force members are called to meet at police headquarters." "So I drop Jim and Nancy off, and I'm gonna look for a parking place." "I was kind of excited about being able to tell the prosecutor what we had discovered with Nancy." "I thought, maybe with the prosecutor's influence..." "We might be able to go to the Mendham Township Police Department and check the files over the weekend instead of waiting till Monday." "[Dramatic music]" "We walked in, and I heard somebody shout..." "Get her out of here!" "Get her out of here." "[Music]" "_." "_." "Get her out of here!" "She is not coming in here." "What are you talking about?" "I says, you haven't even heard what we have to say." "I don't want to hear it." "I know that woman." "She's a psychic." "I was pissed at the prosecutor." "Why would you not want to listen to possible good information?" "I said, well, you know what?" "Well, you know what?" "If you don't want her..." "Then you don't want me." "I said, we're out of here." "Fine." "And I see 'em." "This ain't good." "Cap, what happened?" "Jim is livid." "Jim is hot." "He had 20 years of experience." "They had no right to treat him like that." "I was now troubled beyond, beyond, beyond." "My temperature was 105." "What's the point of being that close to the horrors..." "If I cannot stop him?" "The vision I got..." "Was of one of impending danger." "This man who was stalking a woman." "I thought, oh, we have got to do something here." "[Unsettling music]" "Hi." "I need your help." "For years, I taught an open group of meditation and psychic development." "I realized, with my students that, if we gather energy together, it becomes amplified." "Here were four people who I knew to be very psychically clear." "I said, now, we need to make a difference here." "So we made a circuit, and we were boosting the signal." "I said, build the power with me." "Take that energy, like taking a lightning bolt." "I kept him fully dead center in the middle of the room." "And I... my heart started going..." "[Imitates rapid heartbeat]" "I could feel him ready to pounce on her." "I was looking at him as if he was a bug in a microscope." "You don't get to play that way." "Got to nail him." "And I said, bring home to him..." "Both:" "All the pain..." "That he has given to women." "[Dramatic music]" "Let him feel it and let him feel it in a way..." "That he could never give it out to anybody else..." "In this world." "You need to be gone." "And when I was done, I felt that something was finished for me." "[Whispering] Oh, no, please, no, God." "Not another one." "What did you do, Nancy?" "She says, what do you mean, what did I do?" "I said, they caught the killer." "And the relief was monumental." "On the night of January 16th, early Sunday morning." "A man called 911..." "And stated that he had been stabbed in the back." "So when I got to the scene, they found a Chevy sedan, with three lights across the back." "And a man was there, bleeding from a minor wound." "One of the officers on the scene recalled there was something about a green Chevy with three taillights involved in this case." "He remembered that that was the kind of car that we were looking for." "And when they questioned the owner..." "They asked him who he was." "My name?" "Jim says, you'll never guess what the name of the guy is." "[Suspenseful music]" "My name is James Koedatich." "That's the name!" "I said, Koedatich!" "[Gasps]" "Oh, my God." "It is him." "I just started laughing." "How close was Nancy on that name?" " That's the name." " Nancy..." "[Exhales deeply]" "What did you do?" "He kept saying to me, what did you do?" "What do you mean, what did I do?" "He claims he was stabbed in the back by a woman with shoulder-length brown hair." "And then when I described the alleged woman that stabbed Koedatich." "I said, he was describing you, because the general description fits you perfectly." "Anyhow, the wound was self-inflicted." "They found out that there was no woman involved." "He stabbed himself and then called 911." "Why he did that... we'll never know." "[Indistinct radio chatter]" "When they did Forensics on the inside of the car..." "I was amazed with what they found." "I mean, I was just..." "I was blown away." "[Music]" "_." "When they did Forensics, they found some blood in the car that..." "It would turn out..." "belonged to Amie Hoffman." "He's throwing her in the back seat." "And they found a lot of evidence in the car, especially in the trunk of the car." "They found hair, which would later, through DNA testing, come back to be Deirdre O'Brien's hair." "Nancy knew that Deirdre had been thrown in the trunk of the car." "She described that." "Nobody saw that." "No witnesses saw Deirdre get thrown in the trunk." "She saw it, though." "He's taking Deirdre out of the trunk." "It was mind-boggling." "I knew how good she was, but this was huge." "In my 33 years as a police officer, I've seen it all and just about done it all." "But I was never so amazed by anything in my entire career as I was working with Nancy on this particular case." "I'm 100% certain that as a psychic, Nancy Weber is the real deal." "I said, Nancy, I said, everything that you told us was true." "Absolutely everything." "She made a believer out of me." "I'll tell you that." "_." "_." "Was I the woman who stabbed James Koedatich?" "Of course not." "And not physically present." "Did I match the description?" "Absolutely." "I don't have the absolute answers." "I don't think I ever will." "I know I'm very grateful for what has happened." "That he was absolutely stopped, never to do anything again."
