What makes a killer contains graphic details of sexual assault and violence and is not intended

Yosemite National Park, located in the picturesque Sierra Nevada Mountains,

was all but serene for five months in 1999.

Fear ran rampant as four women were viciously murdered.

Yosemite is one of those places it's a the crown jewel of national parks in the United States.

The idea that these women were possibly murdered after visiting a national park specifically

Yosemite, really unnerved to people. The prime suspect was 37-year-old Kerry Stainer,

a handyman at a local lodge. After being arrested in July of that same year,

he astonished everyone with what he did next. While he's being held, somehow he's able to get

a 25-minute interview with a local news crew, and while they're on a break from questioning him,

he confesses to the news crew before he even confesses to the FBI.

He told his version of events to local TV news reporter Tat Rollins.

And the first thing he said to me was I want you to contact Hollywood producers

and I would like a movie of the week made about my story. He immediately went from asking for

this movie of the week to a full confession. Stainer, who allegedly raped two of the women,

adamantly denied the occurrence of sexual assault. Harry Stainer has got quite a strong

narcissistic strand to his personality. He didn't want to be seen as the sexual predator

that he actually was. He wants to be this tough, dangerous predator, this hunter,

and that's inconsistent with the label of a rapist or a sex offender. The roots of narcissism

are very often in shame, and I think that's very much what was shaped Kerry Stainer's life.

That he feels ashamed of who he is, he feels ashamed of what his experience.
