'The Details, as Much as His Victims, Were the Trophies'
Crime: Urdiales' confession in deaths of eight women, one in O.C., chills veteran officers and stuns neighbors.
May 14, 1997 | Michael Granberry | LA TIMES Staff Writer

In 28 years as a police officer, Lt. Ray Griffith had never heard a confession as chilling as Andrew Urdiales'.

Not only did he describe how he killed eight women, Urdiales offered a level of
detail that left Griffith and a roomful of colleagues incredulous as they listened
to the taped confession he had made to Chicago police.

"It gave me cold chills," said Griffith, who's investigated hundreds of murders
for the Cathedral City Police Department near Palm Springs.

Law enforcement officials in Illinois, Indiana and California say they've never
met a suspect who documented his killings so thoroughly.

EX-MARINE SERIAL KILLER, CONVICTED OF 3 ILLINOIS MURDERS, FOUND GUILTY OF 5 IN CALIFORNIA May 25, 2018 | Mike McPadden | crimefeed.com/2018/05
The new conviction of Andrew Urdiales, 53, for killing women from Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties now elevates his total tally of known
victims to 8.

Urdiales was previously found guilty of murdering three women in 2002 and 2004.
He was initially sentenced to die by lethal injection, but had his term changed to
life in prison after Illinois abolished capital punishment.

Charles Erwin, father of Tammie Erwin, an 18-year-old who Urdiales murdered in Riverside County, said he hopes her killer gets the death sentence, stating:
“... the way he did the girls like they were just trash, just throw them away
— I think he deserves it.”

===== Sarcasm alert ! =====
Don't you think he faced racism, childhood abuse,
ineffective counsel, transphobia, or mental illness
at some point in his life?

Isn't it us, the society who are to blame?
Which of us is prepared to cast the 1st stone?
Who are we to judge?

I mean, we could judge enough to give him "life" in prison,
but have the big state take his life? Not in my name.

Sure he did well in the Marines, but they created a killer,
who was forced to abduct and torture women to death.

Above all, though he admits to killing 8 women in 2 states,
don't you have to reserve the evil death penalty only for
those who kill dozens or hundreds .. of thousands?
