over. and i did not want him to invoke his rights to remain silent. you have to kind of treat hem with kit and gloves. talk to me. look at me. it s not easy. it s not easy, i know that. he shuts me off verbally, but when i touch him, that brings him back into okay, i m talking to him. he can feel the touch. with rex, it still didn t work. if you sit there and try and keep beat lg on me. i m not beating on you. yeah, you are. i won t say nothing. i was afraid if i pushed it any further, he would invoke. when i made the decision to shut the interrogation down, and hopefully be able to resume it the next day.
what follows is a long, sleepless night for both the interrogator and the suspect. followed by a stunning decision to let the sex offender tell his story directly to his pregnant girlfriend. rex, please. in the nation, we reward safe driving. add vanishing deductible from nationwide insurance and get $100 off your deductible for every year of safe driving. which means you could save. a lot of benjamins.
at that point, rex stopped being animated. he stopped being open. he stopped being talkative. it was out of control, right? rex, look at me. it got out of control? rex, tell me what you re thinking. tell me what s going through your head. at that point i got concerned because once rex said he wanted an attorney, that means the interview was done. we wouldn t be able to try to recover their bodies or do any follow-up. it was over. and i did not want him to invoke his right to remain silent. so you have to kind of treat him with kid gloves. talk to me.
he had a very sophisticated system of knot tying. rex said during the night rachel had struggled with the ropes being around her neck and her feet, and she actually strangled herself, and she died. took a shovel with me. all right. dug a grave and buried her. so far the interrogation is going exactly as hobson hoped. krebs talks about sinking back into normal life, working at a lumberyard where he s regarded as a star employee. but just a few months later he says he s driving around and becomes fixated on aundria crawford when he spots her returning to her off-campus home after classes at cuesta college.
look at me. it s not easy. it s not easy. i know that. he shuts me off verbally, but when i touch him, that brings him back into, okay, i m talking to him. he can feel the touch. but with rex, it still didn t work. if you sit there and try to keep beating on me i m not beating on you. yeah, you are. i m not going to say nothing. i was afraid if i pushed it any further, he would invoke. i made the decision to shut the interrogation down and hopefully be able to resume it the next day. oh, we were pissed. but we trusted him. he was a seasoned way more seasoned investigators than i was at the time. and i was like, okay, he s doing this for a reason.
