Serial Killer Documentary - The Weepy Voiced Killer

In the early hours of New Year's Day, 1981, police in St. Paul, Minnesota, received an hysterical 911 call. The anonymous call was made by her attacker, and it was to be the first of many.

She was badly beaten. with a tire iron, left for dead in the snow. When I went there the next morning, the blood was still in the snow, and we thought, there's no way this person who'd been so viciously beaten could have survived.

The assailant soon became known as the weepy voice killer. His eerie tones were so distinctive that he was quickly linked to many more attacks.

You knew that it was the same person. I've listened to those calls so many times over the years. So you know that it's the same person making these phone calls.

I think he was looking for absolution, and he never got it.

He had confessed his sins, but there was no forgiveness for Paul Stefani, the weepy voice killer, who'd become one of the world's most evil killers. Between January 1981 and August 1982, police in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul received a series of disturbing, anonymous phone calls from a serial killer. Each time, they were linked to the discovery of a woman's body. I can't stop myself.

I keep killing somebody. There was a sense of urgency of the danger that he was out there and also a sense that he wanted to be caught because I can't remember a time in 40 years of covering crime of somebody calling up and leading police that way to the victims and seeming hysterical. There was a lot of fear in the community. There was a sense that this would be solved quickly, that the voice would be recognized.

But then nothing happened.

The now infamous whiny voice in the 911 calls caused him to be dubbed the weepy-voiced killer. He brutally attacked five women.

This isn't somebody who wants to be caught. It's somebody who wants status, who wants recognition. He is absolutely desperate to be seen as a serial killer. He wants a recognition. of being a serial killer. That's something that's quite important to him.

This killer's story begins in Minnesota. Paul Michael Stefani was born on the 8th of September, 1944.

Paul Stefani was born in a smaller town down in southern Minnesota by Austin. It's my understanding that his parents divorced and that he had a very strict stepfather who was a devout Catholic.

It's quite interesting looking at the religious background of serial killers because it tends to affect them in one of two ways. On the one hand, they might use the kind of values that they've grown up with as a justification for their behavior. On the other hand, their failure to live up to those values might be something that they feel fundamentally ashamed of, and it's that shame that actually drives their offending.

He seemed to have a strong bond with his mother. There's a strength there, so there was nothing that I could find that made any sense that could even explain why he did what he did.

I think there would have been quite clear boundaries around what's acceptable, what's not acceptable, ideas about sin.

Stefani had been diagnosed with epilepsy as a child, and when he kept losing his jobs as an adult, he blamed the condition. Nevertheless, he did appear to settle down. He moved out of Austin to St. Paul, and by the age of 26, had met his wife.

In 1970, he got married. So far, so normal. Didn't last all that long. They divorced five years later.

The 1970s, there's still quite a bit of stigma around divorce, especially within Catholic communities. So I think this, on his part, perhaps would have been seen as something of a failure. So I think it's quite an interesting element of his background.

Sometime after his divorce, Stefani went off the rails and showed his violent side for the first time. The details of the incident are unknown, but Stefani was convicted of assault, meaning his name was now on a list of known violent offenders. Stefani soon moved on and began a relationship with a Syrian girl who he reportedly hoped to marry.

They were pretty close, dating for four years, and then she leaves him for an arranged marriage that she had no control over.

Stefani struggled with the rejection. When he lost yet another job, this time at Marmberg Manufacturing, things were spiraling out of his control.

Something is burning at him inside. Something is eating at Paul Stefani.

In the early hours of New Year's Day 1981, things took a sudden and sinister turn. As the night's celebrations wound down, 36-year-old Stefani encountered a 20-year-old student, Karen Potak.

She was walking home when she suddenly was attacked right off Pierce Butler Road, a main road in St.

Paul.

It's an absolutely vicious attack. Callous without warning and for no reason. At 3 a.m. on New Year's Day, the police in St. Paul receive a phone call, an anonymous phone call.

The phone call was a hysterical person.

It wasn't clear if it was a man or a woman.

This is incredibly deliberate on his part.

He is wanting to appear to be somebody who can't help what he's doing.

He thinks she's dead.

She's certainly left of her dead.

And he's consumed. You've got two conflicting emotions inside Stefani. One, an absolute desire to hurt women. Two, a fierce guilt about having done it.

What's the address? I don't know. Who are you? There was just this urgency, get there, help her. And an ambulance was sent there, and that's where they found Karen Potak near death in the snow.

She'd been hit over the head with a tire iron multiple times to the extent that some of her brain was actually exposed to the elements. So this is a really, really significant attack. And it's one that shows us that the person who carried it out wanted to kill the victim.

The location of Stefani's first attack would later form a key part of the investigation as police worked to identify him.

She's found in a very significant place, near some railway tracks, near a factory in which Stefani once worked.

It was the Marmberg Manufacturing Company where Stefani had lost his job. He would later claim this upset to be the reason he attacked.

That's something about serial killers, too. When they first begin killing people, and of course, Potaki didn't kill her, but he left her for dead, really. They go to places that are familiar with them at the beginning of their assaults.

Karen was taken to hospital, but was not expected to survive.

When I went there the next morning, the blood was still in the snow, and we thought, there's no way this person who'd been so viciously beaten could have survived.

In fact, miraculously, Karen is not dead, although perhaps, mercifully, she doesn't remember anything about the attack, and she certainly doesn't know who's attacked her.

The police attributed that to the cognitive damage that was done to her in the assault. She was never the same after that.

Paul Stefani has got away with what he thought was murder, but in fact wasn't.

I expected two things, that Karen Potak would not survive, which she did. I expected this case to be wrapped up right away. They would catch this person, man or woman, but nothing happened.

Things were quiet for five months, but on the 3rd of June, Stefani's soon-to-be infamous weepy voice was heard again.

He sounds.

Quite childlike and pathetic, essentially.

There's an emphasis on poor me, feel sorry for me, I can't help myself. So this is very deliberate on his part. This is all about him.

30 minutes after the 911 call, a grim discovery was made in bushes by a freeway in St. Paul.

Some boys were out playing and a ball went over to the edge of where they were playing and they saw, they thought it was a dummy laying in the grass. kind of hidden, and they realized it was an actual person and a body, and they called the police.

She's dumped in the bushes, and when we think of the kind of things that we find in the bushes, it's things that we discard. It's things that we don't want anymore. It's things that we would consider to be trash, and that's very much how Stefani saw this victim.

The body was that of a woman wearing a red jacket, She had no identification, but did have a single key on her person.

The key was to the Greyhound bus locker in St. Paul by Mickey's Diner, a pretty iconic location in St.

Paul.

Through there, they found some of her identification and were able to figure out it was Kimberly Compton.

Working backwards, the police then found out she had just arrived that day from Pepin, Wisconsin. Police had to tell her family that She was brutally assaulted and murdered. So at this point, we didn't have any idea of who or why or what had happened.

She'd only that day gone to St Paul on the Greyhound bus to start a new life after leaving Wisconsin. This was going to be a clean slate. This was the beginning of a new life. And sadly, it was the end.

Tracking Kimberly's last movements, police discovered that after arriving at the bus station, Kimberly had gone to a nearby diner where she'd met a friendly local who seemed keen to welcome her to the city.

Stefani was personable, got a conversation going with her and said, hey, you're from Wisconsin, let me show you some of the sights of St.

Paul.

So he came across as sort of an older man looking out for this young woman with hopes and dreams.

15 minutes later, she was dead.

Kimberly Compton was stabbed 61 times in the upper body, mostly, and that in a very violent assault.

With an ice pick.

Later on, the medical examiner determined not only was she stabbed, but she was also choked to death with some shoelaces.

This method of killing, this ferocity, it isn't about losing control.

This is about gaining control.

This killer is somebody who wants to not just kill, but absolutely obliterate his victim.

Two days after Kimberly was murdered, police received another call from the high-pitched caller. It wasn't recorded, but investigators were hopeful it would provide more clues that could lead them to the killer.

He stayed on the phone a little bit longer, and the police traced his phone call to a phone booth at the bus depot, where she had just gotten off. And police followed up and went to the bus depot, tried to take fingerprints, but there were so many people that had used the phone in that area that it would not have any positive results.

On the 11th of June, the killer called again.

Don't talk, just listen.

He's quite frustrated.

He's quite annoyed.

He wants this murder to be recognized. He wants something to happen.

He's telling the police, you know, hey, I'm in charge. I want you to do what I want you to do. Don't talk. Listen. Stop me. I can't help myself. Do your job, you know. Basically saying, catch me.

Police were quick to make the connection between the recent 911 calls and the one they received five months previously in the unsolved Karen Potak case.

One of the people, I believe, in the 911 center said, that sounds like an individual about a year ago that called that same squeaky high weeping type of voice.

I'm sorry, I killed a girl.

Two young women found a few miles apart, brutally attacked, and that phone call, police felt they had a serial killer on the loose and alerted the media that the connection they believe existed.

In an attempt to put a name to the voice, they released the 911 calls.

We put the phone call on the air, and we were sure people would recognize the voice.

The media soon dubbed him the weepy voice killer.

We're hoping that somebody will recognize the voice, whether it be a friend or a relative or a neighbor or someone you work with or drink with.

You would think that somebody would recognize that. Anybody who'd had an argument with him or heard him stress would recognize him from the voice. It was so distinct.

With no immediate leads, detectives tried to find other links to the victims in the hopes of identifying the predator. They noted that both victims had been wearing red. FBI profilers theorized that the color could be a trigger. A warning was issued to the public.

He's got a whole town, a whole city in fear. Everybody is going to be watching their backs and making sure that they don't wear anything red, especially women. Now, Stefani is someone who enjoys controlling women, and when he says something like this, he's controlling not just one, but potentially thousands of women.

These victims of his were wearing red, and he had dated a girl from Syria for about four years, and the only picture I ever saw of her that he had She was wearing red.

This was a big story in the Twin Cities. A lot of coverage of the serial killer, we believe, was on the loose, even though there'd only been one killing at that point. And then things got quiet.

For months, there was no word from the weepy voice killer. Residents hoped they'd seen the last of his horrific acts. Then, in late August 1981, police in St. Paul received an emergency call. An individual named Alan Lopez was holding his family hostage.

A negotiator is sent, a SWAT team is sent. He insists that he's going to kill them.

The police were trying to get him to come out, and Alan Lopez, during that conversation with the police, said he is the person that killed Kimberly Compton.

I covered that standoff, and it was bizarre enough on its own, and then we hear that he's confessing to being Kimberly Compton's killer.

Eventually, the standoff is resolved. The SWAT team enter the house to discover that Alan Lopez has indeed killed his father, mother, and sister.

26-year-old Lopez was arrested for the murders of his relatives, and investigators worked on connecting him to Kimberly Compton's murder. However, a voice comparison between Lopez and the weepy-voiced 911 calls found no similarities. The questions remained unanswered, and in February 1982, Lopez committed suicide in jail. In August, another woman's body was found across the river in Minneapolis.

It was a very brutal scene, and police were called, and ambulance called, and She was found deceased by numerous stab wounds.

Investigators trying to piece together what had happened struggled to identify the woman. Two days later, a 911 call came in with a familiar-sounding voice. Fire emergency.

Please don't talk to me, listen.

I'm sorry, I killed that girl.

I stabbed her 40 times.

Kimberly Compton was the first one over.

So now we knew it couldn't have been Alan Lopez because now we have another murder with the same weepy voice calling the police department.

It was a challenge to the police department. showing that, here, I've done this, now see if you can catch me.

There's quite a lot that's happening in this call. Firstly, he's asserting that status and authority, you've got to listen to me. Then he's almost boasting about the number of times that he's stabbed, drawing our attention to how violent he is. And then he's linking those two killings.

I'm sorry what I did to Compton.

I couldn't help it. Don't know why I had.

To stab her. He'd gone quiet for close to a year, and suddenly we have this murder of a young woman in Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis Police Department got a hold of the St. Paul Police Department, and they started working together on trying to identify who this caller was.

Investigators were also working hard to identify the victims. A vital tip came when a postal worker handed in a woman's purse belonging to a local nurse, Barbara Simons.

Her purse was in a mailbox, and they tracked down who Barbara Simons was. They knew she was killed near the Mississippi River, and they found out that she had been at a bar, the Hexacon Bar, the night before her body was found.

Witnesses from the bar remembered seeing 40-year-old Barbara with a man.

Stefani came up and asked her for a cigarette, and he danced with her, and very open that he was with her, had made contact with her.

This would appear to be quite a bold move on his part.

So he's going out and he's hunting for victims out there in public where other people.

Can see him.

But by this stage, he's gotten away with murder, and I think he's becoming a lot bolder.

Seems like they hit it off, according to some people at the bar, and he offered to give her a ride home.

In fact, if I recall, she said to the waitress there at the bar, saying, boy, I hope he's a nice guy because he's going to give me a ride home.

And obviously he wasn't, and she was killed that night.

He took her down to an area, assaulted her, stabbed her numerous times and left her to be found too. And I believe this time that they thought that a Phillips screwdriver, similar to an ice pick, was used in those assaults.

Bar staff gave detailed descriptions of the man's appearance and detectives began trawling through a database of violent offenders in the area.

Based on the description of what the bartender and the waitress said, they narrowed it down to about eight or nine, and the bartender picked out Paul Stefani as being the person that was talking to Barbara Simons that night.

Police began to focus on him, trying to figure out where he lived, try to put the pieces together on Paul Stefani. Investigators on both sides of the river at this point are working on the case. They knew they had a very dangerous person out there.

Investigators learned all they could about Stefani's background, making a crucial link from another of the attacks.

Among the things they figured out about Paul Stefani is that he had worked in Malmberg manufacturing. which is the place where Karen Potak, the first victim, had been attacked. And I think that was significant to them because not only had he given the street where she was found, he named a business, and that was unusual.

Police were now confident that Stefani was the weepy-voiced killer.

They knew who they believed they were looking for at that point, and the clock was ticking. Is he going to do it again? Is he going to call in with something? And so investigators are working, comparing notes on both sides of the river. The media's, we're in a kind of a frenzy to keep it out there because we didn't want one more victim.

To everyone's horror, there would be another. Despite now being under police surveillance, he slipped through the net and on the 21st of August, 1982, went hunting for his next victim. That night, Stefani met Denise Williams.

Denise has been engaged in sex work for quite some years, so she's out and about on the streets quite frequently. And he offers her money to engage in a sex act with him. So she accepts, she gets in his car, they drive off, they exchange business.

And he says that he's going to take her back to Minneapolis. He found her in Minneapolis, he's taking her back.

She got suspicious because he didn't seem to be going back to where he was supposed to take her. Suddenly he pulls over his car and viciously attacks her. She fights back. She's street savvy. She fights back. She saw a pop bottle. She takes that bottle, smashes it across his face, and causes him to bleed. She manages to escape.

And he started going after her and stabbing her again. A person heard her screaming, came over and helped her out. And Stefani turned on him and threatened him, and he got Williams away. Stefani took off and left the scene.

Stefani is a killer who is used to being 100% in control when it comes to his crimes. But this time, he's really met his match in Denise. He's come up against a woman who is not going to put up with this. She is not going to just let this guy take her life. She is quite tough. She's quite streetwise, and I imagine she's been in quite a few altercations with clients before. So this really rattles him. This woman has won and he is lost in this particular situation.

So I think it really does knock him off balance.

He had to think in the back of his mind, if he was rational at that time, that police are going to be interviewing him. How did this assault happen? Where did it happen?

Who did it?

And that it was unravelling very fast for him after Denise Williams died. started pounding him with that bottle.

Having failed in his attack, the predator returned home to assess his injuries.

He goes home to St. Paul, and then he made another phone call. This time, he wasn't calling to get help for a victim. He was calling for help for himself.

He actually calls 911 and requests an ambulance, and his voice wasn't quite as high and quite as weepy or anything else. He said he was hurt and he needed an ambulance.

The call raised alarm bells for the person who received it.

Hey, this sounds like the guy that's been on television that I've heard, the weepy voice killer. It sounds like his voice is very similar. So they got the police involved. The St. Paul Police Department, who had Stefani under surveillance, saw the police department show up.

Next thing he knows is an ambulance shows up at Stefani's residence.

And the murder-killing spree was over. They arrested Paul Stefani, and it ended right there.

Denise Williams had become the second victim to have survived the brutal attack of a serial killer.

She had been the victim of an assault and went to the hospital, and she described her and the police then showed her some mugshots of different people, and she picked out Paul Stefani.

She became, in many ways, the hero of all this. What she did and her response was life-saving for others, herself and others.

Stefani was charged with the assault of 19-year-old Denise Williams and with the murder of 40-year-old Barbara Simons. But the weepy killer had lost his voice.

Although he said in his phone calls to police, somebody needs to stop me, he certainly didn't give them enough information to actually make that happen. He wanted to continue, but he wanted people to think that he wasn't in control of what he was doing. He wanted people to have sympathy for him, to feel sorry for him.

Paul Stefani went from the guy calling in, confessing, to when the police had him, he's not cooperating at all. But as they're pressing him, they show him, I believe, some crime scene photos. And that seemed to be the trigger point.

When the police would open up their file, there were pictures of Karen Potak and Kimberly Compton. His voice elevated to a higher pitch.

He starts getting hysterical in his voice. And they felt at that point, this is it. How he sounded in that room paralleled the phone calls they'd been getting. So at least from their experience in the room, they felt no question this was their guy.

And so when we looked at everything that we had between Karen Potok and Kimberly Compton and Denise Williams and Barbara Simons, the stronger cases with the actual identification were the Minneapolis cases, Barbara Simons and Denise Williams. So we went ahead with the prosecution of those two cases first.

In 1984 and 1985, when he faced trials for the attempted murder of Denise Williams and the murder of Barbara Simons, Stefani pled not guilty.

The Denise Williams evidence was her ID describing how the assault took place. The Good Samaritan that came up could identify Stefani as attacking her and then threatening him with a screwdriver.

The violence displayed in his attack was evident in his demeanor in court.

There seemed to be a lot of rage that was contained, and physically the thing that stood out the most was just the glare, looking around, the glare that he had in that courtroom. There's sort of a disdain for everyone in the courtroom.

When we're looking at his behavior in court, when he's having these outbursts, when he's quite antagonistic and he's quite confrontational, this is the real him. And I think up until this point in time, it's only his victims who've seen this.

The weepy voice killer had become infamous for the 911 calls in which he confessed to his crimes. Prosecutors used these recordings in the trial.

During the trial, there were a number of witnesses and evidence that was presented, but by far the most compelling evidence was stuff he gave to them, his phone calls. He, in essence, put on a platter Here I am. I'm the guy that called. And their efforts to challenge it and whether it was really Paul Stefani or not.

Yes, please, this is an emergency.

Please have a call.

You knew that it was the same person. I've listened to those calls so many times over the years. So you know that it's the same person making these phone calls.

Some key people who testified and said they recognized the voice, they included his ex-wife, his sister, so people who knew him. was able to describe that's the same guy.

To have two women up there incriminating him really does turn on its head all of those values he's got about the role of men and the role of women. Women are supposed to be passive, they're supposed to be subservient, they're supposed to be compliant, and here they are convicting him.

Despite the seemingly overwhelming evidence connecting Stefani to the 911 calls, they were deemed inadmissible for identifying the attacker in the earlier Weepy Voice cases in St. Paul.

During the course of that trial, the judge threw out the voice identification of the Weepy Voice killer. He said it wasn't sufficient to tie him to Karen Potak or Kimberly Compton. The only thing we had connecting Stefani was his voice on those calls, and we didn't think we had enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that we could prove it was him.

Consequently, Paul Stefani was never tried for those crimes. He was found guilty of the second-degree murder of Barbara Simons and the attempted murder of Denise Williams. In total, he was sentenced to 58 years in prison.

Essentially a life sentence. He wasn't going to be getting out. We didn't want to go through another trial if we didn't have to, unless we could absolutely prove it.

In a shocking twist, 12 years into his sentence, the weepy-voiced killer himself would give investigators all the confirmation they needed. Stefani had one final confession to make.

Paul Stefani found out that he had terminal cancer and he wasn't going to live more than a month to 12 months. That was what the doctors were giving him because of skin cancer. So he asked the guards at the prison Oak Park Heights to get a hold of the St. Paul police because he wanted to talk to them about what he had done.

And so the investigator went in and met with him. He'd already been convicted in Barbara Simon's murder as well as Denise Williams' assault.

Stefani admitted that he had assaulted Karen Potok and he admitted killing Kimberly Compton. So all four, he admitted that he was responsible for their assaults or their deaths.

This isn't that he's suddenly become remorseful, that he's suddenly grown a conscience overnight, that he knows he's going to meet his maker and he needs to offload.

All of this stuff.

What he's trying to do is control what he leaves behind. He doesn't want to leave this world not having the credit for all of the murders that he's committed.

Stefani had confirmed that he was responsible for all of the crimes he had been suspected of, but his next admittance would stun investigators.

And then out of the blue, he mentioned that he also had drowned this woman. He couldn't remember her name, but drowned a woman in Lauderdale, which is a suburb of St. Paul.

He confessed to a murder that nobody had any indication that he'd ever done. In fact, in his confession, it took them for a while to identify who that victim was.

The police went back to say, is there any unsolved cases where someone was drowned and you never found a suspect? And sure enough, they found Kathleen Greening in 1982.

She was a schoolteacher in the St. Paul area, and apparently she and Paul Stefani had gone out on a date, and she was drowned. And for many years, police suspected her husband.

When the police went back to look at the evidence, he gave them evidence about her house that only the killer would know the layout of the house, how he did it.

He had strangled her, drowned her in a tub in her own home.

This time, Stefani hadn't phoned 911. And in another stunning revelation, he claimed that wasn't the only thing that was different in this case. he'd met with Kathleen on several occasions.

He described the murder. You know, they're going up to a bathtub. Are they going to have consensual sex? This is completely different. He had feelings for this person.

He's a master of information control.

He wants to be very careful about the story that's emerging around his murders. The reason that Stefani didn't call the police after killing Kathleen was that he didn't want them to know about it. There's something he feels ashamed of, something he feels embarrassed about, something that doesn't quite fit with the persona that he's trying to create.

Reporter Caroline Lowe was intrigued by this killer who'd suddenly confessed all.

I went to prison to meet with him to see what I could learn because most killers, most criminals I've covered never admit they've done anything. I thought, is there anything we can learn from him? And I remember sitting there in prison as he's describing Kathy Greening, he said, we had a really good evening. We went out, we went home, and then he takes his hands up to his throat and he said, I just suddenly felt like doing this to her. And he's showing me with his hands.

It was chilling to see him just calmly describe what he did. Talking like, what did you do for your vacation last summer? But he's talking about killing people, attacking people.

Investigators reexamining the evidence in Kathleen's case were able to prove that she had known her killer.

They found his telephone number in her address book that the authorities had overlooked in their original investigation.

We didn't have these smartphones and everything in those days that you could put somebody's name and telephone number in. She had it in there, Paul S., and they knew from the arrest of him that that was his telephone number.

There was one aspect of the confession that bore a striking resemblance to the Barbara Simons case.

He mentioned that he'd put her purse in a mailbox, and that was one of those details that only the killer knew. In one of the other cases, a purse had been put in a mailbox, but that was so significant. So he gave them things that there was no doubt by the time they were done that Paul was in fact her killer.

There was a big revelation for the media and county attorney's office because two or three different offices had reviewed that case. And part of the problem was the medical examiner couldn't determine if it was accidental or a homicide. So the cause of death was undetermined.

It had taken 15 years, but finally her loved ones knew the truth about who was responsible for Kathleen's death. the depraved killer had confessed to murdering three women and to the attacks on Karen Potak and Denise Williams.

The way he abused those women, stabbing a person 61 times, beating a woman with a tire iron until she's unconscious, leaving her for dead, that's a violent, evil person.

When you look at that and the brutality and the anger, you just wonder why somebody wasn't alerted to the rage in this person and the evil of this individual a long time ago.

But Paul Stefani hadn't finished his final chapter. Before he died, he contacted Caroline.

He wrote me a letter, actually, I got the next week, and he asked me if I would reach out to the victim's families. This is the letter, which I still have. He asked me if I'd reach out to the victim's families because he's wanted me to tell them that he wanted to put flowers on their graves. I would not be a go-between between the serial killer and these families to help him maybe feel better as his life is winding down.

I think that he wanted to make his slate clear in the eyes of law enforcement, in the eyes of God. As a devout Catholic, I am admitting to all my sins. Please forgive me. I'm telling the police everything I did, and that's why I believe that he did not commit any more murders than those he confessed to.

53-year-old Paul Stefani died of cancer in June 1998. After all of his confessions, one question remained unanswered.

Why? Why? A lot of us thought that maybe his religious upbringing and his family falling apart, he was taking it out on women. He was very hostile in the brutality of the attacks. You don't stab someone 61 times with an ice pick, you know, without having a lot of rage and anger.

The Twin Cities will never forget the losses suffered by their communities at the hands of Paul Stefani.

You mentioned the weepy voice caller, killer. Anyone in Minnesota remembers that. If they were around back then, they remember the weepy voice killer.

Paul Stefani thought he could do whatever he wanted to do in his rage. and his being evil and that he could call up and tell the police that he's sorry and that he would be forgiven or go to church and he would be forgiven. But I think he was looking for absolution and he never got it.

He's a small town boy, became one of the most notorious serial killers in Minnesota history.

Paul Michael Stefani has become etched in the minds of all who knew him as the notorious weepy voice killer, whose rage-fuelled and vicious attacks took the lives of three unsuspecting women and forever changed the lives of two more. Stefani may have believed he would be forgiven for his sins, but his horrific and violent actions mean he will never be absolved as one of the world's most evil killers.
