[Bottomly on headphones]
This is John Bottomly. The date is February 14th, 1964. Albert, please state your full name. [DeSalvo] Albert Henry DeSalvo. [Bottomly] Mr. DeSalvo,
tell me about your first victim. How did you pick Anna Slesers? [DeSalvo] I didn't pick her in advance. There was a parking spot
in front of the house. It makes you think about
what goes into this kind of selection. Like, why is this girl home
and that one's not?
