CRIME HUNTER: How hooker stopped serial killer dead in his tracks

By the end of the encounter on July 18, 2015, suspected serial killer Neal Falls' ticket had been punched one-way. Destination: Morgue.

The four dead or missing Nevada women were identified as, from top left, Jodi Marie Brewer, Lindsay Marie Harris, Misty Marie Saens and Jessica Edith Foster.

''According to cops, the tryst had been booked on backpages.com between a john named Neal Falls and an escort in Charleston, West Virginia.
By the end of the encounter on July 18, 2015, Falls’ ticket had been punched one-way. Destination: Morgue.
The 45-year-old punter had attacked and choked the escort but the quick-thinking would-be victim turned the tables, grabbed his gun off the ground and squeezed the trigger twice, sending him to oblivion.''

“When he strangled me, I grabbed my rake, and when he laid the gun down to get the rake out of my hands, I shot him … I grabbed the gun and shot behind me,” escort Heather Saul later said.
When detectives searched Falls’ car, they discovered axes, knives, handcuffs, a shovel, bleach and other items.''
In 2014, at least a dozen escorts disappeared from the Chillicothe, Ohio area, south of Columbus and a short two-hour drive from Charleston. Falls is the prime suspect.
– In every instance, the victims advertised their sexual services online.'

Hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since Falls was killed.
At one point he told police that someone stole a Uhaul with all his things in it.
That must have been when he quit renting apartments or rooms in homes and started living in his car full time.
I definitely think he stole from the escorts he killed to get his money after his Uhaul was stolen. He stole cash and paid cash. Bitter, angry, methodical.
It was a miracle he was stopped the way he was.
IMHO

Years ago someone published first person commentary from his coworkers at the Hoover Dam. I remember it being heavily redacted, but also psychologically revealing. Particularly in regard to his behavior toward wild animals and women. After Rex Heuermann was discovered to own a timeshare in Vegas, it created some ambiguity around cases that had previously been attributed to Neal Falls. I don’t believe it’s the last we’ll hear of that.

Also recall seeing police bodycam of NF possibly being cited for sleeping in his car? I can’t seem to find it now, but I wanted to revisit the particulars for timeline purposes.

I'll have to catch up on this thread in more detail...Very interesting. I'll throw this up and forgive me if it's repetitious, but this is a panel from a while ago. The left picture is from Falls HS yearbook, appx 18, in 1989(ish). The middle are sketches made from the I70 survivors memory, in '93-94' (I think) and the last is Falls a couple of years before his death. I find this similarities chilling.
