      but the fact that he admitted to letting one go because he has a sense of morality shows he isn’t psychopathic. the number 1 thing all true psychopaths have in common, is they have no sense of honest emotion. having no emotion, leads to no guilt, which leads to no regret, which leads to no sense of morality.

      Probably bullshit, or there would have been more news about this guy somewhere down the line. He gave too much information, too many clues for investigators to piece together and make use of. They would have been after him, but it was probably determined to be a hoax by investigators, or Howard told them it was just a bit they did, perhaps even knowing who 'the caller' was. It sounded as though he was just saying things on the fly to keep it going.
      They would have figured out where that call came from, especially back then.

      i agree. i don't really like Howard's shock jock vibe but I have to admit that when you listen to how he talks and questions his guests and this person you do appreciate the skill that he actually has. It is too bad that he went the low brow route for his admittedly hugely successful career as I think he would have been a great, straight interviewer. Now, that I think about it, he probably would not have been allowed to ask the interesting questions in a straight format so the shock route probably allowed for nuggets of truth and honesty.
      It is too bad they never caught this guy as I am sure he (the killer) would have mentioned it to amp himself up. he's probably dead now from an std, I guess.

      Even has a great sense of humor, even better than mine. Being well mannered, friendly and funny is what makes serial killers dangerous. It isn't their size, or weapon of choice, it's their ability to appear to have a good intention and the ability to get you to trust him and go somewhere private with him. That's also why they target hookers, they are easy to bring to a private location because that's the whole point of hiring one and they are literally paid to trust u and let you get really close to them.

      Yeah the first comment hit the nail on the head. The stern show was known to let all sorts of strange people on the show to have casual conversations and not show a bias one way or the other. Which is why stern more or less just leads the conversation further instead of acting appalled at what he just said etc. this is the way journalists should be.

    What creeps me out the most about this interview is near the end, when "Clay" is describing what he says to his victims before murdering them. His voice and tone are very light up until then, almost joking around, until he starts to say how prostitutes piss him off and how he questions them if they know what they're doing is dangerous. You can hear the anger and poison start to come through in his voice... so creepy. Gives me the chills.

      They probably piss him off because people like "Clay" are similar to prostitutes in that they both vie for power over their subjects. Prostitutes are practically begging to get murdered by people like "Clay". It just makes sense, and it doesn't take a psychologist to understand the logic.

      Deep down they want to admit. They feel they need to confess, which is probably why he would tell the women he was going to kill them. But, it's not the same. It's not real attention and who are they? They'll be gone anyways so, and to him, they're not important anyways.
      It's not uncommon for someone like that to call into a radio show or whatever because they get their 15 mins. of fame. He'll do it again and if he hasn't really been caught, I'm sure he's bumped his numbers up since the call. He'll probably continue until something big causes him to stop, he's caught, gets too old to do it, or developes physical limitations.
      These people are mental screwed. He doesn't know why he really does it because there's something wrong with the noodle. It's not anything in mainstream media or entertainments fault, either. Crazy people watch tv and read, too. It's not an influence, it's a drive they already developed.
      The tone, the way he spoke, and what he said. Yeah, I bet dude was serious. He did give too much info about himself but, he is pretty sure he hasn't got caught, at least around that time. I mean, he's been doing it since he was 16. He didn't say how old he was. At least he was smart enough about that.

      It's a proven tactic for business negotiations or sales. When something is keeping a deal from closing, you mention an issue or problem you know isn't what is holding the other person back. By inserting the wrong assumption ("I'm guessing the time turnaround is what's keeping you from buying," etc) they instinctively feel the need to correct you, and it draws out the real reason they havent said yet. If you sell a product or service, and cant figure out what makes someone pull the trigger, get it wrong on purpose. The same applies to arguments and negotiations for anything in life, if you want to know what someone is thinking. Be wrong on purpose, watch them clarify things.

      FBI says at any given time there are 25-50 active serial killers in the USA alone. Probably countless more in countries that don't have the resources to track them. I am certain that there are serial killers who have left the US and other countries and go to countries in southeast Asia, South and Central America, Mexico, eastern Europe, Africa, etc. to kill freely or just vacation there specifically to kill. Think about how easy it is to get away with murder in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, or Mexico where they have huge gang problems and cartels and not enough police who aren't on a gang or cartel payroll to investigate crimes, especially a dead prostitute. Risk is that serial killers, unless they are hitmen or cartel affiliated locals, are usually not actually tough people, they usually prey on the weak where as gang killing hardens you as a person and its very matter of fact and part of every day business, so some soft white guy from the USA isn't going to have a good experience in prison with real, hardened criminals. El Salvador or Honduras that is a very bad situation. Unless the killer has ties to high level organized crime they probably aren't walking out of one of those prisons. Gangs like to show that they have some sort of and ethical code so if you kill women, children, abuse or rape women or children, especially as a white guy in someone else's country, you're probably going to be made example of.

    Here's a sentence I NEVER thought I would say: Stern would be an incredible therapist. As is. No joke. I am blown away by Stern's unbelievably quick and brilliant approaches. he worked to both appease the ego of the caller and to humiliate him in order to gain access to as much info as possible, including what motivates his psyche (ie- is he more motivated by experiencing pleasure or avoiding pain)...I know it could appear clunky to some given the fact that the caller obviously picked up on what he was doing...but as a mental health therapist for over a decade...I see how it displays his mastery even further. to me, it seems clear that howard wanted the caller to recognize his tactics and think Howard had no idea (therefore, giving the caller a chance to reinforce his own perception of genius and therefore continue to play along, in an effort to show the world how much smarter he is than everyone). This is a skillset that takes years and years for most therapists to master (don't worry, it's used by therapists as tool for healing rather than deception) and whether he did this intentionally or it came naturally to him...I'm blown away.

    If you ask me the strongest clue Howard got out of him was his Car breaking down. The call happened August 13, 1997. He said he hadn't killed in "Almost A year" That might mean roughly around September, October 1996 at the latest. He says that his car breaking down stopped him for a month or so. So there would have been a period of a month around September or October 1996 when he wasn't driving. Swaggart town is where all the hookers hang out in New Orleans, and given all of his hookers were killed either on the side of the road or in the parking garage, he always used his car to do the murders. And since they always came to him, and he never went to them, he probably sat in his car in Swaggart town for long enough a period of time that others in the area would be familiar with the car. But for a period of a month in September or October 1996 he had no car which might be a lead in terms of narrowing down who would have been spending money at automechanics or parts stores. Assuming the investigators did enough forensic evidence on the bodies they found on the side of the road to get something along the lines of tire tracks or something that could be matched with automechanics customers of September 1996ish they might have been able to match something up. If Howard could have gotten a couple clues about what he drives they might have gotten him.

    It’s weird hearing him talk so casually and joke around about it. The batman joke made me laugh cause it caught me off guard. It’s crazy to think about what goes on in their heads where they themselves self-admittedly don’t know.

      Yeah, some people are very numb to what they do and you never know until they get caught what is going on in their head. He said he had a normal childhood, but was it " his version" of what normal is or just actually normal like everyone else. ? I like how they were able to get away with asking questions with him. I do hope if it's true he gets caught. 😟

      Just one thing. He talks about the first murder leaving clues. Howard asks what kind of clues. He says thumb paint with their thumb. He saw it in a comic book a couple years ago. So we are to assume he's killed 12 people within a couple years as he was talking about his first murder. We are to also assume since his first murder was at age 16, that would make him 19 at the time of this call. If a couple years is 3. All assumptions ofcourse.

      Hello everyone. Please come to God. We can only be saved through Jesus Christ. God is good and he is loving and forgiving and merciful. If we repent and are baptized in a truly Biblical Church(be sure to make sure it truly lives by the Bible)and we put our faith in Jesus Christ, doing the will of God and following his True Holy Spirit(test the Spirits)we can be saved. He offers us so much and can give us everlasting life with him in Heaven. He can give us new lives and show us his loving grace and salvation. We are saved by faith, but true faith will always produce the beautiful righteous works of God. May God lead you in the truth and bless you and I pray that you will see the truth. If you pray to him honestly and truly seek him diligently, he says you will find him. Tomorrow is never promised. Jesus is coming back. We are in hard times, Please come to God now because you never know what's going to happen but God does tell us that he has made a way out and to a better life. May God shoe you the truth and give you the understand of his love and truth. May God bless you and lead you in the Truth!🙂
