To be clear, you're talking about life without parole for the early offenses he was charged with? If so, we'll have to pay to incarcerate a lot more people, and we'll have to build more prisons (unless we stop incarcerating so many nonviolent drug offenders). And when we convict and incarcerate an innocent person, it will be a much bigger mistake.
@@loki2240now why would you think that? Of course I don’t think he should’ve gotten life without for his early offenses. Doesn’t change the fact that he finally ended up murdering a woman after years of assaults. These crimes escalate and they need to start taking that into consideration when sentencing them and monitor these criminals more closely.
@@birdie9240 - So, should he have gotten a significantly harsher sentence at some earlier point. When should monitoring have started, and how would it have prevented or discouraged these encounters with women? Do you think that a good faith attempt at rehabilitation would've helped? Do you have any other ideas that may have helped? To be clear, I'm not attacking you. I'm looking for positive (or at least better) outcomes. Thank you for your input.
@@birdie9240 - Personally, I think that sex offenders are typically fundamentally different from other offenders who tend to be influenced by situational factors much more. To the extent that any offenders "learn their lesson" in our punishment-focused prison system, our prison system doesn't change sex offenders' sexual desires or behavior. And I don't think rehabilitation would be very effective, either. We're in a tough situation. But I don't think that we can make significant improvement by continuing to do what we've been doing. And that includes treating sex offenders too much like other offenders. Maybe some other countries have developed more effective approaches.
This guy was so obviously a predator, and the system just kept letting him go. It's hard to believe he could commit so many acts of violence against women and still be allowed back out on the street.
Honestly, I don't find it all that hard to believe. It's even worse in Australia. A tap on the wrist is all you get for violence against women or anything else, really 🤷🏽♀️.
There isn't enough room in prisons for the people that need to be there. All the space is taken up by people who shouldn't be in prison in the first place but are there because of the corrupt profit/career-seeking corruption.
Would Harvey Weinstein have been able to do what he did if there was a man present? Of course not, and many of those women were WILLING to pay that price for the chance of stardom. Both of the women involved in his trial continued to send him gifts and love letters for YEARS after he assaulted them. If they could choose to remain outside the industry or have sex with distasteful men many women will choose the latter… and they won’t have that opportunity if they’re chaperoned. The women who DON’T bring someone along will get the parts… and that defeats the entire purpose of the process, for both parties.
@@JIMMILLS-vo4dwTed Bundy was another example of morbid attraction. While he was in confinement and after admitting his crimes, women sent letters of loving attachment to him. He even married before execution . 🔥
I knew Christi Johnson and her brother Derek. They went to our local HS with my daughters. Although it's been many years since her death, she will never be forgotten. 😢
That applies with other jobs too. Sometimes the one in charge of getting the person for the job already has a friend or relative picked but will put in an ad for the job for a cover. those who apply wasted time and money to be just used.
That's how it works when interviewing for jobs, many times it's an inside job and they already have a person within the company chosen, they just have to go through the formalities of interviewing other people to satisfy protocol, government etc... Sad but true.
I've been a working actor all my life and ran into a couple of these fake audition situations, but my spidey sense kicked in and I didn't go to them. If something feels off, pay attention. Stay alive and unassaulted..
I never go to any auditions alone, at least someone comes with me to the door and waits outside, if the place looks sketchy I leave, or if I have to go alone I inform someone about the location of the audition and the time I'm coming back
Gee Bogdan, I don't know, maybe it was when one guy asked me if I could throw him over my shoulder in a fireman's carry, or that he asked me to come alone, and asked me what turns me on in a man;"his chest, right?", or the fact that he was clearly masturbating while he talked. Or maybe I'm just intuitive.
I was approached by a guy like this in a mall when I was in my 20s but it wasn't in California. He was a 'magazine photographer' and wanted me to come to his hotel for some test shots. When he found that didn't work, he invited me to a restaurant at the mall, just for dinner. That didn't work either. When I finally left the mall, he 'just happened' to drive by and see me. I was quite creeped out by all of this. He flashed a huge wad of hundred dollar bills during our 'talking' and I considered for a brief moment of going to his hotel and robbing him. I don't think it would have been hard to do. But, I'm not a criminal and decided to just get away from him. Luckily, I smelled a rat right off and went with my gut instincts.
@@tonyamartin1425 That's rich coming from quite literally anyone with the brain power to open up a door. So I guess you fall below the requied IQ? The difference is not acting on it. Everybody has had criminal thoughts. If we went to jail for our thoughts, we'd all the locked up. I bet you're one of those people that are "just being honest" when you say something extremely out of line.
I lived in the little Lake Michigan town where Kristi and her family lived. They were a beautiful family and Kristi was a very sweet girl. The town is very tiny but the people there are the best you could ever meet. But because it’s a small, friendly town people can be a little naive. Not knowing that some people don’t have good intentions.
Its so sad to think she probably believed that this was the break she was hoping for and that it would be the first day of the rest of her life as opposed to the last day of her life.
It's strange that he would pick the James Bond franchise as his lie. James Bond is one of the few movie series that have absolutely zero connection to Hollywood, and have never been produced outside of the UK.
That's what I thought. Plus, they had been using established actors like Eva Green (The Piano Teacher, The Dreamers, Kingdom of Heaven) and Naomie Harris (28 Days Later, Pirates of the Caribbean, Miami Vice). But desire sometimes overcomes judgment. It's just usually a matter of eating unhealthily or something - not getting scammed by a predator.
If you think that she was gullible please understand that her dream blinded her from everything being presented. Emotions are stronger than critical thinking. And every one of you reading this, has, at one point been betrayed because your emotions got the better of you. Fortunately, your outcome was not fatal.
@@rokess5053 true, like psychopaths. But please don't pretend you have never fallen in love or had a crush. You are not a robot. "You just hear those that do"???? Live life buddy. Go out an open yourself up to other people. You sound like an introvert.
Let me rephrase that for you: The desire for violence towards women is something society needs to drill out of men and boys. Sadly, it’s only gotten worse.
No, I think they just need to find validation in actually healthy pursuits like raising kids. Vanity is the problem, not "the need for validation". That is universal
Until he was finally sent to prison - and he was let out early and then did far worse (escalated to unaliving a woman). Our prison systems don't even make a good faith attempt to rehabilitate people, and I don't know if someone like Victor could be rehabilitated anyway. If we can't or won't rehabilitate violent offenders, why let them out? Their prison experience often contributes to them being a worse offender.
Fast forward the same Kristi in 2024: "Hi I'm Victor, movie producer." Kristi: "Wait, what's you last name so I can Google you." Can you see him run now?
Not necessarily, you'd be surprised how ridiculously naive women still are even today. Situational awareness is something that needs to be taught in school.
In the early 1980’s, that was going on, I had been approached many times by different men claiming to be a photographer for a magazine, or a model agency. I never believed them, and my gut instinct told me it was a crazy dangerous man. Asked to go out on a yacht late at night and more, I declined all offers. I grew up with a parent who was Jekyll and Hyde, that prepared me not to trust anyone.
I wish grande as a therapist would dig deeper into what made this monster- like his life before birth, parents, family, and events during childhood, etc.. etc.. that is the benefit of this channel as opposed to other sources where these themes are obvious on face value.
Another California-based Serial Killer (this one in the late 70s) used the same M.O. as Victor. Rodney Alcala pretended to be a photographer for a popular women’s clothing magazine and was always in search of pretty girls who had the potential to model for his magazine. That was the “hook” Alcala used to lure these teenage girls to his apartment for a “photo shoot” to start their modeling portfolio. That is where he would un-alive these poor girls. Alcala, prior to his capture by law enforcement, actually appeared on an episode of the popular 70’s game show: “The Dating Game” . . . and won! However, the girl who ultimately selected him from a panel of 3 single guys vying for a possible “date” with her, was so creeped out by him during their initial talks following the show that she wisely decided to not go on the date with him. How Alcala made it on as a contestant on “The Dating Game” was a horrific surprise to many of the show’s fans after Alcala was finally arrested and charged with multiple murders of young ladies in the SoCal area. Apparently, prior to getting on “The Dating Game”, Alcala had just finished serving a couple years in prison for committing a lewd and lascivious act on a minor female. Fans of the popular game show were upset with the show’s producers for not doing more thorough background checks on the men they ultimately select to be contestants on the show. The episode of “The Dating Game” involving Alcala happens to be available here on TH-cam if you simply type, “The Dating Game Killer” or “Rodney Alcala”. It’s an interesting and creepy video that is worth a watch IMO, knowing what we know now about this evil, worthless, psychopathic POS.
Wow, that's ridiculous. They didn't have the internet back then, but I'm pretty sure they could still find out if someone was convicted of a felony and went to prison.
It would never occur to me to think of doing something like his tactic. But he must have had a measure of success with it since he used the same description on multiple women. Who knows how many other women were taken advantage of and hurt or killed?
Women need to organize to reform the justice system - it's far too lax with these creeps and weirdos. It seems obvious after all the tragic stories of violence against women that little or nothing changes in the judicial system.
Lenient judges need to be looked into. Naive shallow females shouldn't be judged too harshly, but if it wasn't for me, a friend of mine could be living a completely different life to what she's living right now. long story short, she was asked to go to an adress for photos, but I went with her and noticed the lack of furniture, and told them my mom was waiting downstairs and would phone the police if we weren't back at her car in 15 minutes- one lone camera on a tripod in an empty lounge....
I remember watching this story on ID. I was once approached by a creepy unattractive dude telling he is a tennis/hockey player and he thought i looked like im an athlete i told him im naturally fit then he gave me his number told my then bf who was from the same town he said there are a number of girls who went missing going to a tennis/hockey practice, i thought it was weird that ppl be recruiting ppl from the streets, plus he kepts going on and on about my body very creepy
I remember when a nurse that worked at a hospital in Seattle went on a date with a man she met online and was found in trash bags :( Her name was Ingrid lyne
No legitimate producer or photographer is going to approach a stranger for photo shoot. That is not how the industry works. They hold auditions at studios. Not in houses and not in malls.
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humor and sarcasm. June 24 is National Patch Day, International Fairy Day, National Creamy Pralines Day, Flying Saucer Day / World UFO Day, Celebration of the Senses, Swim A Lap Day, Log Cabins Day, and Museum Comes to Life Day.
No longer do we have to speculate on why there were so few women in the James Bond movies wearing mini skirt, a white shirt, stiletto heels, and pantyhose. It is mostly because of the murder part.
This reminds me the infamous Australian serial killer, Christopher Wilder, who after fleeing murder charges in his home country used stories of him being a modeling photographer to lure young women on his cross country and back killing spree in the United States. It's amazing what some people will do for a complete stranger.
@@claracarpenter8913 I’m guessing before the great population boom in Western California. There was a lot more wildlife, bears, coyotes, mountain lions, etc..
I want to stop but I can't. The power I feel is so overwhelming. I just can't find release and satisfaction any other way. It's like the ultimate drug and once you have it nothing else will do. Everything else is so numbed like the feeling is only 10% of what it should be. But when I'm in control it's like a volcano erupting.
This man is incorrigible! Why was he ever let out of prison? A person like him can never be reformed! Young ladies, don’t be so gullible! If some random guy offers you a role or an audition, BE CAREFUL! Take a man along with you or call the studio, agents… whatever! Check his credentials ! Don’t let your dreams and fantasies take over and make you foolish, or worse…dead!
Even the real deal industry isn't safe. My youngest son has some acting talent and desire, but there's no way that my wife and I will have him in the big production environment. We try to be aware of what's going on in his little dance studio, but of course there are risks there, too (just less). It's terrible that women and children in particular can't just live their lives without being targeted.
Can you do a video on "Estranged Parents" Theres a channel with a woman Diane who talks about her estranged daughter and other estranged parents. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on her perspective of this phenomenon. And the discussion of estrangement in general.
Any woman should be suspicious of a "photographer" or "producer" so focused on what clothing the would-be 'model' should wear. Especially when they request sleazy sex clothing.
gosh ... spoiler alert ... if anyone approeaches you when your out and about, claiming to have this or that for you, its defo a scam. im surprised of the level of naivity of these women, as, as far as i know, movie parts take a bunch of difficult auditions, filtration not to mention the education and schooling for it, prior ... i dunno, but a common sense tells me, that a guy like this, is a common scam artist
Among the classic Dr. G litany of questionable attributes -- self-centered, grandiose, calculating, cold, etc. -- by far the most hilariously damning is always the inevitable ".... and EXCEEDINGLY creepy!" 😅😅😅
Our culture of celebrity in combination with the entertainment - industrial complex is a kind of sickness, toxic, and not infrequently lethal. Moreover, for all that, today's movies typically suck. The content on television and streaming services is even worse. Occasional hits are the exceptions that prove the rule.
Dr Grande, ive asked lije forty times lol but can you please make a video on Steven Jones? He was the Northern Arizona University student who shot and killed another student and injured a few others. His first trial was a mistrial and then he ultimately took a plea deal and i believe hes to be released this summer. I think he shouldve been found not guilty in the first place due to self defense. This was a good case!
I’m aware that I’m very average looking. Years ago, a woman approached me in a mall and said she worked for a modeling agency and that she liked my look so she gave me her card. I’m about 99.999% sure that this was one of those scams where you pay a bunch of money for headshots. The reason I’m not 100% sure is because I threw her card away about 5 minutes after I got it.
Victor could have made it big in the movie industry, not so much as a producer, but rather as an actor portraying Ted Bundy. Now in prison, he regularly wears a miniskirt, a white shirt, stiletto heels, and pantyhose, while his cellmate, a Big Bubba avatar, provides the black necktie.
I don’t know why this came up for me while I was listening to this. When I was young I remember some guy at a grocery store with a camera and he said he wanted to take a picture of me and I innocently posed. I never questioned why or felt weird. I never saw him again but now random. Now today would be an entirely different story. Granted it could have been an innocent thing….I really don’t know. As for this dude he just looks weird AF and anyone suggesting outfits and him supplying a necktie is a red danger flag if you ask me.
All this guy learned from his light sentences was not to leave his victims alive.

Women need to organize to reform the justice system - it's far too lax with these creeps and weirdos. It seems obvious after all the tragic stories of violence against women that little or nothing changes in the judicial system.
Why are young girls always SO naive ????
Breaks my 55 year old heart knowing I also fell for this crapola at 21 years of age!!!!!
I can’t believe I have been following this channel for quite awhile, but I continue to speculate
Lenient judges need to be looked into. Naive shallow females shouldn't be judged too harshly, but if it wasn't for me, a friend of mine could be living a completely different life to what she's living right now. long story short, she was asked to go to an adress for photos, but I went with her and noticed the lack of furniture, and told them my mom was waiting downstairs and would phone the police if we weren't back at her car in 15 minutes- one lone camera on a tripod in an empty lounge....
I remember watching this story on ID. I was once approached by a creepy unattractive dude telling he is a tennis/hockey player and he thought i looked like im an athlete i told him im naturally fit then he gave me his number told my then bf who was from the same town he said there are a number of girls who went missing going to a tennis/hockey practice, i thought it was weird that ppl be recruiting ppl from the streets, plus he kepts going on and on about my body very creepy
Are James Bond movies being made in Hollywood these days?
“…and he was exceedingly creepy”😂 😂 I never tire of this line, Dr. G! 😆
Why would a mini skirt, heels and a white shirt cost over $300?
Maybe designer brand
I remember when a nurse that worked at a hospital in Seattle went on a date with a man she met online and was found in trash bags :(
Her name was Ingrid lyne
That drawing is Boomhauer, I have no idea how anyone picked the actual guy out.
No legitimate producer or photographer is going to approach a stranger for photo shoot. That is not how the industry works.
They hold auditions at studios. Not in houses and not in malls.
Fantastic analysis - well done.
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humor and sarcasm. June 24 is National Patch Day, International Fairy Day, National Creamy Pralines Day, Flying Saucer Day / World UFO Day, Celebration of the Senses, Swim A Lap Day, Log Cabins Day, and Museum Comes to Life Day.
It's also John the Baptist day? I think...but it's my birthday so I appreciated your informative post!❤🐈t/y
@@Swansong321 Happy birthday!
Looks like your schedule is all full today!✌️😆👍

No longer do we have to speculate on why there were so few women in the James Bond movies wearing mini skirt, a white shirt, stiletto heels, and pantyhose. It is mostly because of the murder part.
why do they give these men so many chances?
Haha, yes, the one dry joke per vid....great stuff!
A couple of phone calls would have protected these women Just wow.
How did he never get big trouble for breaking probation?
They give drug dealers 100000000 years in prison yet these sexual predators get light sentence after light sentence 🤦🏾♂️
🌵you find the most interesting topics and cases! Thank you 🌵
His MO is so specific.
I love it when u say exceedingly creepy gotta sneak it in every episode
Haha the sketch😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, the most amazing thing on the story is just that he was recognized from that.
Excellent video 📹
'MY NAME IS BOND, JAMES BOND.'
your " exceeeeeeeedingly creeeepy" was top!
Always interesting
Thank you❤
My name? Grande,
Doctor Todd Grande.
This reminds me the infamous Australian serial killer, Christopher Wilder, who after fleeing murder charges in his home country used stories of him being a modeling photographer to lure young women on his cross country and back killing spree in the United States. It's amazing what some people will do for a complete stranger.
That screaming in the empty room/house is creepy af. The agent must've been so disturbed that they reported him. What a scumbag
Please analyze Ncumisa Senali!!
I personally would have brought a male family member or friend with me to the "photoshoot." 😮
Every time I hear Los Gatos , I think of Cats, was there a bunch of cats when the California missionaries established that town , 😹
Perhaps there were mountain lions back then
I hadn't thought of that, I bet you're right about the mountain lions.
@@claracarpenter8913 I’m guessing before the great population boom in Western California. There was a lot more wildlife, bears, coyotes, mountain lions, etc..
@@enjoystravelingYes, and forests, trees, etc.
I want to stop but I can't. The power I feel is so overwhelming. I just can't find release and satisfaction any other way. It's like the ultimate drug and once you have it nothing else will do. Everything else is so numbed like the feeling is only 10% of what it should be. But when I'm in control it's like a volcano erupting.
“A man had dropped the car off at valet parking, and ran away.” What the heck? This dude is not only evil but also just fuckin weird
$300 for an outfit you could buy for $80 to go meet a strange man from a mall. Teach your children about safety, people.
He fit right in with the type of people you hear about there.
'very good shirt today, Dr. Grande
Thank you!
This man is incorrigible! Why was he ever let out of prison? A person like him can never be reformed! Young ladies, don’t be so gullible! If some random guy offers you a role or an audition, BE CAREFUL! Take a man along with you or call the studio, agents… whatever! Check his credentials ! Don’t let your dreams and fantasies take over and make you foolish, or worse…dead!
Even the real deal industry isn't safe. My youngest son has some acting talent and desire, but there's no way that my wife and I will have him in the big production environment. We try to be aware of what's going on in his little dance studio, but of course there are risks there, too (just less). It's terrible that women and children in particular can't just live their lives without being targeted.

How creepy and how gullible are people that they fall for this from a stranger . His can this happen ? Creepy dude and pervert .
Additional CLUES ...
Green Acres ...
Arnold ... The Pigs !
Victor Hugo , Ok !!
Henry thee Eighth ... or maybe 7.7
Thankfully
People need to do research. There wasn't a James Bond even in PRE production in 2003.
Great justice system.
Can you an analysis on Jennifer Lopez in the future, I've watched, read comments about her bad attitude towards workers and fans.
It's unfortunate that Victor enjoyed multiple incidences of early release from prison.
Can you do a video on "Estranged Parents" Theres a channel with a woman Diane who talks about her estranged daughter and other estranged parents. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on her perspective of this phenomenon. And the discussion of estrangement in general.
Any woman should be suspicious of a "photographer" or "producer" so focused on what clothing the would-be 'model' should wear. Especially when they request sleazy sex clothing.
gosh ... spoiler alert ... if anyone approeaches you when your out and about, claiming to have this or that for you, its defo a scam. im surprised of the level of naivity of these women, as, as far as i know, movie parts take a bunch of difficult auditions, filtration not to mention the education and schooling for it, prior ... i dunno, but a common sense tells me, that a guy like this, is a common scam artist
Among the classic Dr. G litany of questionable attributes -- self-centered, grandiose, calculating, cold, etc. -- by far the most hilariously damning is always the inevitable ".... and EXCEEDINGLY creepy!" 😅😅😅
This is sad. Smh
Our culture of celebrity in combination with the entertainment - industrial complex is a kind of sickness, toxic, and not infrequently lethal. Moreover, for all that, today's movies typically suck. The content on television and streaming services is even worse. Occasional hits are the exceptions that prove the rule.
This is a very common ruse. As a woman, if it sounds to good to be true...
Why did this guy keep getting probation?
Dr Grande, ive asked lije forty times lol but can you please make a video on Steven Jones? He was the Northern Arizona University student who shot and killed another student and injured a few others. His first trial was a mistrial and then he ultimately took a plea deal and i believe hes to be released this summer. I think he shouldve been found not guilty in the first place due to self defense. This was a good case!
I wonder if there are more murder vicitms that just haven't been found. 😬
I’m aware that I’m very average looking. Years ago, a woman approached me in a mall and said she worked for a modeling agency and that she liked my look so she gave me her card. I’m about 99.999% sure that this was one of those scams where you pay a bunch of money for headshots. The reason I’m not 100% sure is because I threw her card away about 5 minutes after I got it.
Victor could have made it big in the movie industry, not so much as a producer, but rather as an actor portraying Ted Bundy.
Now in prison, he regularly wears a miniskirt, a white shirt, stiletto heels, and pantyhose, while his cellmate, a Big Bubba avatar, provides the black necktie.
The system, the system, the system. It is #$&^ed!
I don’t know why this came up for me while I was listening to this. When I was young I remember some guy at a grocery store with a camera and he said he wanted to take a picture of me and I innocently posed. I never questioned why or felt weird. I never saw him again but now random. Now today would be an entirely different story. Granted it could have been an innocent thing….I really don’t know. As for this dude he just looks weird AF and anyone suggesting outfits and him supplying a necktie is a red danger flag if you ask me.
I think people should be honest about their intentions.
Kristi was so naive. Damn.
Christi...
….Kristi.
