Let's take you down. Let's just hammer throw you right down onto the ground, Trunchbull style.
So let's do this. Kaboom. boom uh daryl keith rich is a real fucker and we haven't even gotten to the worst of it yeah And it's been really bad so far.
So it's going to get worse. I just want to warn you, there's more rape. there is more assault, there is more murder, and there is one murder that is his last murder that will haunt me forever.
Is it like one of those Ted Bundy things where like his last murder he was just out of fucking control?
It kind of, yeah, and it's just the, yeah, the brutality in that one is like, And his victim, I think, is what really will get you.
So... Last we talked to you guys, you all, hello.
Thank you for gathering again. You're welcome.
Just kidding. We told you the story. You're welcome.
We told you the story of the murder of Patricia Ann Pym.
Moore. We also told you about the murder of Annette Edwards.
Both horrific. He beat both of them to death after raping them.
And Pam Moore was 17 years old and she was left in the Igoe dump and just covered in trash.
That's so terrible. Yeah. Now, that was on August 4th, 1978.
Four days later, he was ready to kill again.
He doesn't have any cooling off period whatsoever.
None. He's rage. He's just rampaging through.
He's like a Richard Ramirez kind of thing where he just goes like there's no end in sight. and it's just we're gonna go except he actually has like a victim profile i guess right So August 8th, 1978, he drove 60 miles away.
Wow. Because again, he doesn't like this, this imaginary heat on him that he feels is happening.
Because if you listen to part one, he has this weird thing where he likes to tell people that the police are questioning him when they are not.
They don't even know who he is. Right. Right.
Like, they have no idea he exists. Nothing.
That's really weird. He decided, I can't keep doing these things in the same spots.
I'm going to drive 60 miles away to Chico.
So there he met a woman named Linda Diane Slavik.
She was... 26 years old. She was from Oroville.
She was married to Paul Slavik, and they had a nine-year-old son.
No way. She worked for Butte County Welfare Department and was described as loyal, kind, fun to be around.
She was beautiful. Her husband said she was an amazing wife and mother.
Like, just all around a great person. A nine-year-old.
A nine-year-old son. Yeah. She went to Madison Beer Garden.
And yes, it's beer. Or, excuse me, bear.
I said it backwards. My mind immediately says beer.
Yeah. And that's why I was like, yes, it's bear garden. which I thought I kept reading it wrong.
I had to look it up like three times. It's Madison Bear Garden with her friend Sarah.
It's just like this local pub. that like college students hung out at.
It was like a cool place to go. So Sarah ended up leaving for a bit.
And by the way, this was like Linda's like night out.
Like she was like, I'm going out. And Paul was like, have so much fun.
Right. Like this was just, she didn't do this often.
She was just like, I'm going to go out and have fun.
So Sarah, her friend, ended up leaving a bit with some two dudes that she knew, I guess.
Uh-huh. And she ended up coming back. And when she came back, I think like 45 minutes later, Linda was gone.
Okay. She immediately was like, that doesn't make sense.
And patrons at the bar said they saw her with a man with dark hair and a dark beard. who would later be identified as Daryl Rich.
Sarah was like, this is strange, but maybe she like knew someone and got a ride back to Oroville.
Like, that's all I could think of. Because she was like, she definitely didn't go home with anyone.
She's married with a child. So Daryl Rich later explained that Linda got in the car with him, the way that he was able to get her in his car was to offer her some marijuana.
Okay. And whatever, it's the 70s. I mean, she was going out to have some fun.
When they were in the car, he asked her to have sex with him and she said no.
And the way he said it was he asked her to make love to him.
Okay. And she was like, no, thank you. Right.
And he went... ballistic because he can't handle rejection.
So he punched her in the head as hard as he could and drove away with her in the car.
Oh, no. He drove her to where he lived in Cottonwood, which was an hour away.
So drove her unconscious an hour away. The last story he told was that because he did tell a couple of like little changes in his stories.
The last one he told was that he took her to his house and he raped her.
Oh my God. Now, after that, he said he put her back in the car and drove her naked to the Igo dump again.
Oh. and threw her on a pile of trash and raped her violently there.
And after doing this, He dragged her to where Pam Moore's body was and forced her to look at it.
Oh, my God. Now, Pam Moore had been in the dump for four days, decomposing under trash.
In a dump. in the dump for four days. And this was a time where they are having a record heat wave in the area.
With temps over 100 degrees for like days at a time. as soon as she saw this she obviously freaked out started sobbing and begging him please don't kill me and he said this later himself And when he said it, he mocked her voice.
Are you fucking kidding me? Now, once he got his pleasure out of showing her his latest victim, He pulled out a gun and shot her in the neck.
She didn't die and screamed, grabbing her neck.
And when he screamed, he leveled the gun in front of her face and shot her in the mouth as she screamed.
Oh, my God. She was dead immediately. It severed her spinal cord.
He buried her in a little bit of trash right next to Pam.
What? Like not right next to, I think it was like a few feet away.
Right. Now, her husband woke up the next morning, Paul, and was immediately panicking because she would never not come home.
No. And he immediately called his mother or her mother, excuse me, his mother-in-law Twyla. and they informed police.
And Sarah said she thought she had got a ride home, so she just never checked on that, which I was like, ugh. you know this is we say it all the time like this she didn't do anything wrong but it's like now just make sure you check right that's all right Why choose a Sleep Number smart bed?

Paul said that they were very happy and she was a very loving and devoted mother who would have never left her child.
The fact that she was a mom breaks my heart. yeah and he was like she never would have left him like she never would have left me but she definitely never would have left him right So now that Darlene has left Daryl,
He is still seeing this Lori girl, by the way.
He's free of Darlene. free to do what he wants, but he's still seeing this 15 year old.
I wonder, do you think she knew his age?
Yeah, she did. Okay. And he starts to make weird comments to Lori.
That are like offhanded, but about women in general and about women around town and how they dress. how it's they're like inviting trouble oh yeah you know how we're all just like walking around yeah you know for it yeah they're just asking for it and he was like commenting on the recent like media reports of these rapes and he was like well like what do they expect oh my god literally go fuck yourself He was also telling two friends around this time that it was easy to rape a girl if you wanted to.
Why is that information that you would tell anyone?
And he was annoyed because he He said women around there dressed in ways to intentionally tease and fuck with dudes.
And he said, what you do is you just grab them by the hair and you make sure to throw them onto the floorboard of your car to or put their head in your lap so that they can't see where you're going when you bring them somewhere.
And he said, peel out from wherever you are because it will force the door to close by itself.
And he's telling friends this and they're like, Calling someone to help?
Yeah, I don't... Like, I don't need to do that.
I don't need that information. You don't need to tell... Like, I'm not planning to do that.
So, like, that's... That's nice for you.
Thanks, but no thanks. But no one's calling anybody.
Everybody's just like, that's weird. That's weird, Daryl.
Can't say I've ever had a friend that offered up that information.
Now... This is the last murder, and I want to just give a trigger warning.
This involves a child, and it is not... this is like pretty bad.
I'm going to go over it as well as I can without being too graphic because there's just no reason to.
August 13th. So not that was August 8th.
Right. August 13th. He's with Lori. And they're supposed to go out to like a movie on like a date.
And they get in a fight. And, you know, he's pissed.
Laurie's like, fuck it. Don't bring me out.
You're dumb. And so he dropped her off. And when he drops her off, he starts driving and he's angry.
And he notices a young girl walking down the road.
And he's looking to hurt someone at this point.
And he knew this girl. He knew her? Somewhat.
He worked with her mother. This was 11-year-old Annette Sellicks.
11 years old. Annette Lynn Sellicks, 11 years old. i told you he was a monster yeah fuck this guy annette lived with her mother sharon and her mother's boyfriend david tidwell She was entering the seventh grade that fall.
She was a softball player. She was a sweet and kind girl, like everyone said she was just like...
She was an 11-year-old. And she was going to do things.
Absolutely. Shot her whole fucking life out of her.
Exactly. Now that evening, her mother was gone for the night to visit her other daughter.
She had like an older daughter. Okay. She was visiting her, she was going to be coming home later, I think early morning.
So she was going to be staying with David, her brother, her, excuse me, her mother's boyfriend.
And his brothers, John and Buddy, were at the house as well.
Okay. So her uncles, essentially, like her step uncles, you know.
Yeah. 9 p.m. Annette asked David if she could walk to the market to go get milk and bread and a snack and like some sodas and stuff yeah and he was like reluctant at first because he was like i don't know like it's late That seems dangerous.
Again, it's the 70s, remember? But he allowed her to because it wasn't far away.
That's always so sad. And he said as long as you promise to come right back.
Don't make any stops. So Annette made it to the store.
She bought some items and she bought like I think like two tubs of margarine or something for the house, I guess. she's probably trying to be helpful yeah like little sodas she bought milk she bought a couple of other things she had them in bags yeah And she was on her way back home.
And Daryl Rich pulled up and asked if she needed a ride.
Now, she recognized him because he worked with her mother.
Right. And her... Technical like her later stepfather way would have been her stepfather, right?
Um, but he said later he didn't recognize her at first he did and Yeah, he definitely did.
He definitely... He knew who she was. Like, he definitely did.
Like, he can literally go fuck himself. He's dead now, so he can fuck himself wherever he is, but... he definitely knew who she was and so she again recognizes him so she's like okay Sure.
It's Daryl. I know who that is. And so she gets in.
Now, when they get towards her house, she's like, that's it.
And he just keeps driving. Oh my God. That makes my stomach hurt.
I used to have like nightmares of that all the time when I was little.
Oh, yeah. This is a nightmare. So he brings her to his home.
Now, he has told several stories about what happened there, but what we definitely know happened was that he brutally raped her.
Oh, my God. God, an 11 year old girl. An 11 year old.
And he said, quote, I just couldn't stop myself.
No, you could have. When speaking about it.
Literally go fuck yourself. You definitely could have.
I couldn't stop myself. No, you can't. Then you know what?
You're a fucking animal. You're a fucking animal and you deserve what you get.
Because you are not a human being if you cannot stop yourself from raping someone.
Right. You're an animal. No, absolutely.
That's it. So after he raped her several times...
Very brutally. It is in that book, just warning you, there's more graphic description of it.
He drove her to the Johns Creek Bridge, which was 30 miles away.
He made her get out of the car. She was naked wearing only underwear at this point.
Oh my goodness, this poor baby. He said he didn't have a plan, but he suddenly just picked her up and threw her over the side of the bridge.
She fell 105 feet. Oh. onto rocks below oh my god what is even worse she didn't die she was alive When that happened and she hit the ground alive and she managed to crawl a little ways and curl up in the fetal position.
Oh my god. How many bones did she break?
Oh, I will let you know. So that evening, David Tidwell and his brothers... had actually fallen asleep because they assumed she had come home.
Right. Again, the 70s. Things were different.
Her mother arrived early in the morning thinking she was asleep in her room. and i guess she i think she got like a phone call the next morning from a friend of hers so she went to wake her up okay and that's when she discovered that she wasn't in bed And they found that she hadn't been in bed.
That morning, a boater was driving below that bridge and noticed a small crumpled form on the side of the water it was a net and she was found curled up in only her underwear Her autopsy later showed that her wounds bled so she was alive.
Oh my gosh. Shasta County Deputy Coroner Leo Gatos performed the autopsy and said that she was definitely brutally raped.
There were large abrasions on her back, buttocks, shoulders, and lower legs.
There was a deep bite mark. on her thigh that later matched to Daryl Rich.
And there was a three inch laceration on the side of the skull above the ear that was so deep the skull was exposed.
Oh my goodness. Her left leg had a compound fracture. right leg was broken, her pelvis was broken, and her right wrist was broken. one of her legs was so badly broken that it was almost detached from her body.
I can't imagine what she went through. She had numerous internal injuries as well, including a ruptured spleen and liver.
Her cause of death was shock and hemorrhage due to multiple traumatic wounds dropping from that height. and the impact set the process of dying in motion.
Who does that? Who throws somebody? a hundred and fifty feet to their death a child after you brutally raped this child and you work with her mother. like I it's beyond anything I can even when I got to this one I was like just like a sweet little and also I was like How did I not know about this?
This is like... So unreal. Now, I don't know if it's because like the Night Stalker came a few years after this, like very shortly. after this in California and really dominated everything, so maybe this just got pushed into the background.
But like, holy shit, the brutality of this.
An 11-year-old girl. 11 years old. Like, wow.
I know we keep saying that, but I just don't even know what else to say.
So August 20th, he was hanging out with a neighbor named Carl.
And Carl was a big dirt bike rider. Okay.
And he asked Carl, he was like, do you want to go dirt bike riding with me like 20 miles away in the Igoe dump?
No, I don't really want to do that. So he's trying to get Carl to the dump where he just murdered and dumped two bodies.
Right. Carl was like, nah. So Daryl himself, according to Carl, said that he went crazy.
Carl was like, so he was like, okay, I'm going to go by myself.
And he was like, okay. He's like, why are you going to dump by yourself?
And he's like, that's fucking weird. But like, okay.
Right. He said he came back a little while later, not too long after, and he was upset.
And he told Carl that he found a dead body at the Igo dump.
Oh my god. But he said he didn't want to be the one to report it to police.
So he brought Carl back to, Carl was like, what are you talking about?
So he brought Carl with him to the dump and showed him the body of Linda Slave.
Oh my. Now according to court documents, There were no tire marks where defendant claimed to have driven.
Uh-huh. And defendant could not have traveled the distance from his friend's house to the Igo dump and back in the time that he was gone.
Right. But Carl was horrified, rightly, and they got police out there and Daryl was there the whole time while they're discovering this body that he has placed Do you think that at this point you wanted to get caught?
Kind of. Do you think he was bringing Carl there to be like, I didn't.
I think so. I wonder. Why else would he do that?
The police, while they were there, they spotted Pam Moore's body not far away.
And they also found teeth scattered everywhere in the victim's clothing near the body.
The Reading Record Searchlight newspaper, they reported on it and they said, quote, two bodies found in rural area.
And it said the first body was discovered by a motorcyclist riding on a dirt road near Gas Point Road dump. about 18 miles northwest of here.
The cyclist, Daryl Rich, rode back to Cottonwood and summoned a friend who contacted Sheriff Stepford.
Oh, something like that. Meanwhile, they had no idea that they were reporting on the actual murderer finding the bodies.
That's insane. Now, Linda Slavik was identified pretty quickly because she was wearing her glasses, which were able to be identified as hers. and other items around her and also her dental records.
Her autopsy showed a gunshot wound to the front of the neck.
The second shot had severed her spinal cord and killed her instantly.
The cause of death was the killing shot.
The open mouth shot. Uh huh. The shot went through the mouth when it opened, struck the first and second cervical vertebrae and was deflected into the cranial vault.
So she died of shock and hemorrhage. Now Pam Moore's autopsy, which by the way, she was just called victim number two for a little while because she was not identified.
It showed that she had several broken and fractured teeth from a brutal beating to the face and head.
Her hyoid bone was broken as well. The right side of her skull was literally crushed in like an eggshell with a five-inch long wound caused by a rock.
It was such a brutal beating that... many bones in her face were broken.
Oh no. Her cause of death was shock and hemorrhage due to blunt force trauma.
And the report said that there was unbelievable amount of force used to cause these kinds of wounds.
And they said they thought a rock was used and that the victim was lying on the ground when beaten.
There was also evidence that she had been strangled manually before being beaten to death. yeah so he like tortured her yeah i mean absolutely it's unreal so August 22nd, Daryl was questioned at home by Detective Frank Brewer.
He was only questioned because he worked with Susan Sellicks for years, Annette Sellicks' mom.
He wasn't a person of interest. They were literally just getting information from people who knew Annette's mother.
Right. That's all they were doing. They were just trying to see like if they knew he was not a person of interest.

Shopify.com slash listen. he told them he had gone to her house a few times he knew david tidwell and his brothers and that he had met annette a bunch of times God, what a fucking piece of shit.
They asked him to come in for a polygraph because during the conversation, about where he was the night of Annette's murder.
Was he with Chris? He changed his yeah he was with chris he changed where he like his story twice in the same conversation so they were like let's have you come in yeah Now they were concerned a little bit because also that type of bike that street bike motorcycle that he used to go to the dump to discover the body was also not one that you would use off-road.
So there's no reason that he would bring that to a dump.
And they were starting to put this together and they also talked to people around him and they said that He was kind of like a neat freak and he kept that bike pristine and he never would have taken it into a dump.
Right. It just wouldn't have been a thing.
So they're already starting to be like...
What's happening? He didn't take it into it.
Yeah, exactly. And the fact that there was no tire tracks and then he was like, I don't know what happened.
Yeah, that makes no fucking sense. So August 23rd, the next day, he took the polygraph.
The results suggested he was lying about not having any involvement in Annette's murder or the women.
Or excuse me, the women at the dump first.
Okay. He was questioned casually by Brewer and... and wouldn't let anything out, but asked to leave twice and was not allowed to leave. which did cause a little bit of an issue for them later because he wasn't under arrest.
Right. But he also would be like, I would like to leave.
And they were like, no, you should still talk to us.
And he was like, OK. Right, so it's not like they were technically holding him against his will.
They definitely weren't, but they... easily used it later in trial to be like he was they didn't follow the Miranda rights and all this like So I mean, it doesn't matter, though, because he like killed four people.
Yeah, definitely. Hindsight. Like it's like, yeah, we don't really care about that.
So he was finally allowed to leave, but before he actually left, he said to Brewer, quote I've got something to tell you but not now And they were like, what are you going to call it?
And he gave his card to him. And he was like, you need to call us within 24 hours and you need to give us an alibi for the night of Annette Selick's murder or we're arresting you.
And so he's like, okay, bye. Now, once again, as he leaves this polygraph... he comes across his friend Gail, the one he was trying to get to give him an alibi for July 4th when he killed Annette Edwards.
And Gail was with his girlfriend, Shelly.
Now he explained about, he like randomly was like, yeah, I just took a polygraph and I failed it.
It's like, okay. And Gail asked him point blank about the women at the Igo dump was like, it's a little weird dude.
Like, did you murder them? Like, did you do this?
And he said, and he just was like, I did.
And Gil was like, what? And he was like, quote, I did it for $7,000 and the hell's angels paid me.
Dude. And he said about Linda Slavik, she had snitched on some guys in their group about something to do with drugs and they had gotten put in jail and they wanted her snuffed so they said they would pay me seven thousand dollars to do it i did it kind of to be a hero I met the girl at a bar in Chico, the Madison Bear Garden.
I'd been following her for a couple of days.
I danced with her and asked her if she wanted to go outside and smoke a joint just to get her outside.
After I got her outside, I took my car to Cottonwood. what the actual fuck like that literally none of that is true no He told everything, including, like I said, using a higher pitched voice to mimic her.
Well, he said she laid on the ground and pleaded, please don't do it.
Please don't kill me. And then he said he threw the gun that he used in the river.
Now, Gail asked about the second body, and his answer was she was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
What the fuck? Now Shelley, the girlfriend, said he was not remorseful while talking about this. and then said quote once you've killed you can always kill again it just doesn't bother me And when he left, they called the police immediately.
They were like, Okay, fun story. Bye now.
Daryl, always a kick when he comes. Bye.
See you again later, friend. Here's your leftovers.
Shoo, shoo. Here's a doggy bag. Bye. The fuck?
And then they were just like, ring, ring.
Hello, pal. imagine having that conversation with somebody like face to face and being like Okay, so now I have to get him out of my house so that I can call the police.
I would be terrified. I'd be like, okay.
So the same night, and this is wild. This night is wild for him.
Oh, God. So he just did that. He just admitted that to Gail and Shelly.
Just went on his way. I did it. that same night around 9 p.m.
He has just left the polygraph test, by the way, went straight to Gail and Shelley, admitted everything.
Now at 9 p.m., He ran into friends Tony Baldwin and Robert Sevier at a sports bar.
He literally just offered up like... that lie detector test, I failed it.
And now I need an alibi. And they were like, dude, I don't care.
Like, I don't want to hear about this. Like, I don't know.
And he also showed them a gun and said, the cops have been following me and if they try to take me, Like they're not going to take me alive.
I'll just shoot it out with them. And they're like, dude, we're just at a sports bar.
We're just like trying to like try to wind down after work.
So Robert was like, yeah, I gotta go and started to leave.
Right. And Daryl suddenly says, hey, I'll level with you guys.
I snuffed that girl out for $7,000. Do you think he was like drunk?
They said that he had a bottle with him this whole time.
Okay. And everybody said he didn't act drunk.
And I think that's because he was like a well-versed alcoholic.
So I think he just could put on like a... not like shaking or like acting sweaty or anything be drunk But literally, Robert says, I'm going to go.
Bye. Bye. And he's like, let me level with you.
Goes to leave and he was like, I'll level with you, bro.
I murdered someone. Like, what? Robert wasn't asking.
Like, Robert clearly didn't want to know.
And then Daryl just rides off on his motorcycle.
Just... throws that out there, rides off on his motorcycle, well...
Robert and Tony called the police as well.
So now the police have gotten calls from four different people.
Gail, Shelley, Tony, and Robert. From everyone in the Tri-State area.
Within like two hours. 10.30 p.m. No. He went to Superior Molding where he was working at the time with Susan Sellicks.
Oh, my God. And he ran into two co-workers who he also told everything to.
Yep, their names were Kenneth Simmons and Randy.
I couldn't find a last name for Randy. Did they also call the police?
He just said like, well, this is the last time I'll see you guys for a while.
I guess I'll see what the inside of San Quentin looks like.
I just flunked a polygraph test and they were like Okay.
I feel like he was excited about it. Yeah.
He was just like, let me tell everybody.
I think he was proud of himself. I think so too. told another coworker right after that, a guy named Edward Turner, that he failed a polygraph.
And Edward was like, well, you don't have to really worry about it if you really didn't do it.
Like, you'll be able to prove that you didn't do it.
And he goes, but I did do it. Oh. He then repeated the whole, like, I did it for $7,000.
Where did that come from? He just made it up.
And then he just left. So he just told three more people and then leaves.
So tonight he's told 12 people. So this same, it's getting more wild.
He's not done. No. That was 1030. Now that same night after this, he goes to see David Tidwell.
Annette Sellick's stepfather. No. Yes. And they know each other.
They've worked together. He's worked with Susan for years.
He said the same kind of shit to him that he like failed a polygraph test.
Now he's just talking about the I go dump women.
Right. at this point, which now we know are Pam Moore and Linda Slavik, but at the time they were just like victims in the dump.
And his brothers, I think Buddy and his other brother there, were... with him at the time.
So he's talking to them and he's admitting to Buddy that he raped and killed the two girls at the I Go Dump.
Oh my god. So Buddy was like, what about Annette?
And was literally like, did you have something to do with Annette's murder?
And he was like, Oh my God, no. I like absolutely like swore up and down.
Oh no, I would never do that. All the while knowing that he did.
Talking to her uncles and her stepfather.
That's so fucked. Now, the police are obviously putting this together now.
They've had witnesses who described Daryl exactly as being the guy who was seen with Linda at the Madison in Bear Garden the night she went missing and the night she was literally dumped like trash.
They also found out that he rented a motel room in Chico that night, and it was right near the bar.
There was also towels that were matched to that motel that were underneath her, found underneath her. and they also spoke to kelly m who was the 15 year old he raped and abducted while riding home from her cousin's house on her bike She positively identified Daryl Rich as the man who raped her.
Oh my goodness. Now they arrested Daryl Rich, obviously, that night, that same exact night that he went on a rampage telling literally everything about it.
Good, good. They went to Orlok Bar where he was apparently sitting at the bar just like sad and depressed.
Waiting. And he was in Reading. He was not taken to jail right away because the guard in the jail in Reading said he heard inmates. say that when the person responsible for Annette Selick's murder came into their jail, they would take care of it right away.
I would send him directly there. So it's like, why didn't you just send him there?
Right. Why would you relay that information?
So he was taken 55 miles away to another county.
Now slowly they began to put those rapes and assaults together with the murders.
He told his lawyer, quote, and this is so spooky because now he's starting to open up about the whole thing but he's acting he's trying to pull the insane thing but later we find out he's very sane He told his lawyer, quote, I woke up in the middle of the night and had a nightmare and felt that there was a girl standing next to my bed.
It scared me so much I got up and turned on the lights in the house and slept on the couch."
I should have stopped what I did a long time ago.
It was no great detective work that caught me.
I was gonna turn myself in anyway. No, you weren't.
And it's like, no, you're the worst. That was like his way of turning himself in, I think.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. It was like the coward's way.
Right. It was only now at this point. around August 24th that they were finally able to identify Pam Moore as the second body in the Igo dump.
They use the far northern California forensic dental team and use dental records to do it.
They still hadn't fully connected him to Annette yet.
Annette Selix. Probably because she's so young and doesn't match his victim profile.
Yeah. Now, they had an inkling that he could have been the guy because they're They know that he's capable, but they just couldn't pin it on him yet.
So during one or two searches of his home during this time, they found the items that Annette had bought at the market that night.
Oh my goodness. So this was huge but like Not huge because he could have just bought those items, like technically.
You know, like within the grand scheme of things, you're like, yeah, he definitely did it.
Of course. That's circumstantial to anybody else.
That wouldn't hold up in court. This is nuts.
So they put Daryl in that live lineup and they had Kelly M. come in.
She was the one who identified him as the one who raped her.
And they wanted to have this in person instead of a photo because they wanted to make sure they had the guy.
So they had her come in for a live photo, not a photo lineup, a live lineup.
Sure. And they had the men in the lineup say the words, because you know how they have them say things sometimes.
They had them all say, you have nice tits and keep your head down.
They had them say that to a 15-year-old girl who has been dealing with the trauma of being raped.
Well, she's behind two-way glass. Like, they just say it.
But they're, like, making her relive that.
That's fucked. And it's like they... It is.
It's wicked fucked. Could they have just said the one thing?
I think it's because she in her report said these are two things that I remember him saying to me.
So if those are the things that are going to trigger the memory.
But Jesus, like. And as soon as they got to Daryl Rich and as soon as he said it, she screamed, oh my God, it's him.
And literally was like, holy shit, it's him.
It's like getting traumatized all over again. were like, yeah, well, that's a positive identification.
So once back in jail, he asked to speak to Lieutenant I think his name is, like, Off?
E-O-F-F? Eoff? Yoff? Eoff. I don't know.
I'll go with Eoff. It's probably wrong and someone will yell at me.
I won't see it though. So once back in jail, he asked to speak.
I don't... I don't look when people yell at me anymore, so.
Sorry, I can't like, I can't. laugh without coughing no no i won't make you laugh anymore oh that was so funny though well So one's back in jail.
He has to speak to Lieutenant Eoff, who is working the case.
Uh-huh. His lawyers were pissed, did not want him doing this.
We're like, don't do that. Just shut up.
Like, what are you doing? But he was like, no, I want to sign.
He insisted on it. So once they were together, he said he had killed and molested Annette Sellex.
Oh, yeah. He said he didn't know he was going to do it when he picked her up.
He didn't remember throwing her off the bridge.
No, you did. Which is like, you fucking coward.
You fucking coward. You do remember it. Admit it.
Just admit it fully. Like, what the fuck?
So he said he didn't remember it. Then he said, quote, I made a list for the ones I've done.
I haven't done ones that aren't on this list.
Do you want to see the list? Yeah. So then they were like, yes, please.
And he gave them the list, and the four murder victims, Annette Selix, Pam Moore, Linda Slavik, and Annette Edwards were on that list.
They all had small crosses drawn next to them.
What? Yep. Then there were the many surviving victims of his brutal rapes and assaults, their names, with no crosses to indicate that they were alive.
The town of Agde in France is famous for sun, sand, sea and sex.
But lately, life on the coast has taken a strange turn.
The town's mayor, a respected pillar of the community, has been arrested for corruption.
His wife claims he's been bewitched by a beautiful clairvoyant.
Then there's the mysterious phone calls that local people have been getting.
I am the Archangel Michael. The whole town has been thrown into chaos.
As the mayor is unable to carry out his duties, I would like to address you all.
Legal proceedings have been initiated. Join me, Anna Richardson, and journalist Leo Schick for The Mystic and the Mayor as we investigate a story of power, corruption, and magic binge all episodes of the mystic and the mayor exclusively and ad free right now on wondery plus Start your free trial in Apple Podcasts Spotify or the Wondery app.
He was formally charged with four counts of murder and committing lewd acts with someone under the age of 14.
There were also 14 charges relating to rape and assault and kidnapping.
So the death penalty was on the table for the Annette Selick's one.
Good. No, you're guilty. His lawyers used a lot of like the somewhat shady and like Kind of loose tactics that some of the cops used along the way while talking to him, but they didn't get far with it.
No. But they definitely tried. You're going to do what you have to do to catch someone like this.
Of course. And it made the trial go on forever.
It dragged it out for a long time. That's frustrating for the families.
Exactly. And during this time, they exhumed Annette Selick's body as well, because they took... castings of the bite mark and they did the Ted Bundy thing where they had cast done of his teeth and they matched it and they were a match.
That is so fucked. He would later say, I don't remember biting anyone, but I guess I might have.
No, you do. You don't remember biting an 11-year-old girl while you were raping her? piece of absolute garbage that's just disgusting like oh i hate this dude He did attempt to hang himself in jail, but he didn't succeed.
And left a note saying mom, Darlene, Rich, Russell Schwartz, Ben Lambert, whoever.
Those are his lawyers. Uh-huh. To God, Mom, I love you.
I hope that you'll be able to understand why I did this.
Darlene, I love you more than anything in this world.
You deserve someone a lot better than I. Mr. Schwartz, his lawyer.
Thanks. Ben, I didn't kill anyone that I hadn't said that I did.
I'm telling you the truth. Whoever, I hate myself.
God, help me. That's so fucking theatrical.
Like, I can't. It was presented in court as like... look, he admitted it again.
He was going to admit it even when he killed himself.
To determine whether he was sane when he committed the crimes, he was obviously given a lot of psychological exams and therapy in prison.
Dr. Alfred French was the lead psychiatrist at one point and he gave Daryl a Rorschach test, which is the inkblot test that you see in like movies and stuff and when he looked at this like block of ink this blotch of ink.
He said, quote, it looks like somebody took a knife and cut into somebody's layers of skin. yeah which i feel like is to a psychiatrist is like scribble scribble scribble like immediately he's like oh okay all right all right all right not a really good way to prove um that you're okay That you're like saying and you right from wrong so Dr. French concluded at the end of this whole thing, at the end of his time with Daryl,
He said, quote, In my opinion, Daryl Rich is simply an immature, impulsive individual and that his chronological age really has not much to do with the matter aside from his physical strength.
He has an unsolicited, unsolicitized aggressive reaction of childhood and or adolescence.
I find no evidence of psychosis in my clinical interviews with Mr. Rich.
And then he said, this young man with his chaotic life history has moved to the extremes of rape and murder with a fairly straightforward logical progression. progression yeah so he was like he's sane as fuck and he knows exactly what he's just an immature he's just using his childhood trauma that's all Now, when he took the stand later, this doctor, he said Daryl had an explosive personality as well.
And he said, He said, quote, a person with an explosive personality is one that blows his top or loses his cool from time to time.
They are cautious and often selfish who typically would not form real close bonds with other people. which is right on the money.
In April 1979, Dr. Malcolm Wilson was a neurologist who was ordered to give Daryl a brain scan because they wanted to see if that car accident or any of his other head wounds had given him a you know Anything that would maybe logically say that he was impaired.
Now the results were no damage that would cause him to be able to not tell the difference between right and wrong.
Now, the trial didn't begin until two years after the murders.
It was on September 5th, 1980. All of the survivors took the stand at one point and told their stories.
At one point, Carl, the neighbor who Daryl had been like, hey, buddy, you want to come to the dump with me?
He said he suspected Daryl of these things a while ago, and he said a lot of people did.
And he said when he initially told him, like, I just found a body at the dump and he wanted him to come, he said he thought he was pretty sure he was going to murder him.
Like he was like, I went there fully like I need to be prepared.
But he was also like, I didn't want to leave some poor person at the dump.
Right. I felt like I had to go so I could report it.
But like I thought he was going to kill me.
And he also pointed out, like everyone else had, that there was simply no way he could have gone to the dump, found the bodies and come back. the amount of time he had.
It just wasn't possible. Um... David's brother, John David Tidwell, His brother John took the stand at one point and was like furious visibly, couldn't control his anger.
Of course not. And at one point he looked at the jury and yelled, she was only 11 years old.
Like that just gave me. and like that I know right I got like a full bod bod chill there but I always like hate when they're like when they get like admonished for they get like yelled at for that it's like I know that it's a court of law.
I understand that. And I understand that emotions run high and that emotions can sway things.
But like, fuck, dude, she was only 11 years old and he fucking admitted to it.
Right. And not under duress. He did it himself.
Right. Like many times. It just makes me so angry.
Now, Dr. Bruce Kaldor was the court-appointed psychiatrist that also evaluated Daryl in prison.
And he took the stand and said in no uncertain terms that he said he knows what he did.
He knows why he did them. He was sane. And he said what Daryl had told him about Pam Moore.
He said, I asked her if she wanted to make love.
She pushed my hand away. I got very mad and pulled her down in the car.
Then I drove her over the gas point road area and beat her to death with a rock. like that's my god just like so like just and it's literally like i asked her to make love She said no and pushed my hand away.
So I got pissed. I raped her and I fucking beat her to death.
It's like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Yeah. He also said that he beat her so savagely that he bent his own ring on his finger.
Literally don't give a fuck about your ring on your finger.
About Annette Edwards, he told Dr. Kaldor, he said he got pissed when she refused his offer for a ride twice.
So he said, I grabbed her and beat her to death.
But it was like someone had control over what I was doing.
Well, and here's the thing. You got mad that she wouldn't take her ride with you, but what were you intending to do in the first place?
Exactly. You weren't intending to just ride her somewhere.
You were going to rape her no matter what.
So fuck right off. Don't pretend like you got mad because of something that they did.
Because a couple of people did get in the car with you.
Right. And you raped and murdered them. Right.
So, like, fuck off. I got mad. Like, okay.
No. About Linda Slavik, he said they did dance and talk a bit at the bar and patrons in the bar did say that. they saw him her dance with him once yeah and talk with him at like a table whatever And then she went to his car to smoke some weed and he said, quote, I asked her there if she wanted to make love.
He is so disgusting. He's literally gross.
He's so disgusting because also it's like even if you're not Daryl Rich.
If someone gets you in a car and says, do you want to make love?
I don't know. Your only reaction is to going to vomit all over them or be like, get the fuck away from No, I don't know you.
Who the fuck are you? Like, are you kidding me?
So he said, she said no. So I hit her in the mouth and gave her a bloody lip.
I drove her to my home first and then out to where that other girl's body was.
I showed her the body and then I shot her to death.
Oh my god, just like so callous. And then he said she had no choice but to go with me after I hit her in the face.
I can't. And then he tries to pull this whole like I didn't know what I was doing.
I don't know what happened. I wasn't there.
And it's like, you knew exactly what you were doing.
Right. You can recount this to the T. Exactly.
Now about an Excelix, he said, I took her to my home, but I can't remember what I did there.
I took her to that bridge and threw her off.
It was like I was asleep. I even knew I didn't kill her right away.
I knew what I was doing was wrong and I wanted to stop it.
No, you didn't, because if you wanted to stop it, then you would have.
Now, Annette Selick's, I imagine it's because she's 11 that he never would give up. what he actually did.
I mean, they could tell from the autopsy.
But he was very... That one he was like hush-hush about.
And I think it was because she was 11 and he knew that...
He probably knew what he was going to get in jail or in prison.
Now, the doctor described him as having, quote, severe masculine insecurity and said that he was a selfish childlike man.
So an which i'm like hell yeah he is yeah he's a fucking incel like 100 one of the ridge So they actually used at one point amytol, which is sodium amytol, and it's also known as truth serum. one of the truth serums now truth serum is like a very controversial like They're not like, you know what I mean?
But they did it. And especially back then, they were doing it.
So it was done by Dr. David Axelrad of Sacramento.
And they interviewed him while he was under the influence of this.
And he said... I didn't know what to say about all this.
I knew that if I did someone would say why did you do it?
So I reported it to the sheriff's department.
I wondered if I didn't report it talking about the murders would they go on and on and I didn't want to go on So that's what he was saying about doing all this and why he had reported the body.
I do kind of believe that. And he said, quote, And he also did add that he had raped Annette Edwards while she was dying.
He admitted that under truth serum. So we went down there?
He went where? He raped her while she was dying.
Yeah. So he went down there after he threw her off the bridge oh no annette edwards oh i'm sorry there are two annettes so it's confusing annette edwards is okay the The older one.
Okay. So just as an aside... Truth serum, like I said, is controversial, especially Sodom Amatol.
It's a barbiturate, like a downer. Yeah.
And apparently it was primarily used at first to help soldiers during World War II.
And it was just like a method of combining... combating the anxiety that comes with like what they used to call shell shock, PTSD.
Yeah. The drug is very addictive and lethal if used in too high of dosage.
And when they used it for treating soldiers, it would essentially slow their heart rates down.
And with only like a small dose. And it would make them more relaxed, less anxious.
Right. And then they would talk about their feelings or experiences more easily.
So it does get people talking because you feel more relaxed and more like...
Also, they found out, though, later that some people that this was used on actually developed false memories after the whole thing was over.
Oh. I'm not saying that happened here. It's just that it can happen.
So December 4th. And I mean, we don't need the truth serum.
We know. It really didn't say anything that we needed.
December 4th, Daryl was given permission to get married in prison.
Why do they do that? Her name was Loretta Summers.
She was 24 and a hairstylist and they met during the trial.
And she's a fucking monster too. Yeah, fuck her.
Like a dude rapes and murders and throws an 11-year-old girl off a bridge to die.
And is admitted it how many times? And it's admitted it like a million times you want to marry him.
I love that quality in you. Honestly, she should be arrested as well.
Because I'd question who she is... If you know that a man has literally raped and murdered a child, especially, you should not be allowed. near children ever again nope oh it made me so angry december 5th they had closing arguments and the prosecution said Daryl Rich is a predator who systematically hunted for victims.
He was a marauder who went out and sought people.
He pre-planned everything and went out and hunted these women and girls.
Daryl Rich is an egocentric, self-centered individual who never grew up.
He preys on others and always gets things his own way.
He has absolutely no care for other people's feelings and I think think that has been borne out again and again at trial.
The defense psychologist and psychiatrist patronized him and believed everything we he told them.
He held up a picture of Annette Selick's after this.
And like, I think she was in like a softball uniform, like a really cute picture of her.
And he said, quote, when I see this picture, I almost want a ball. a daughter who is one year older than that and I look at this smile and in my mind that is life itself.
This girl had a right to go to high school, to senior prom, to have children, raise children, and even have grandchildren and live a full life.
Yeah. I love when they hit like that because you're like, fuck yeah.
The defense concentrated basically... All they had to say was like...
He has personality disorders. That's not an excuse to murder someone.
That doesn't mean he's insane, so good try.
And they also were like, well... You know, personality disorders can make you do bad things.
And it's like rape and murder people as a child?
No? Okay. So the jury was like no. So The jury said they believed, they came back, they said they believed he was sane at the time of the murders and the assaults, and they found Daryl guilty of a lot of things for the survivors. including assault with great bodily injury, forced oral copulation, kidnapping, forcible rape.
Rape with the threat of great and immediate bodily harm and forcible sodomy.
Wow. He was also found guilty for the dead victims.
He was found guilty of first-degree murder for Annette Edwards. guilty of second-degree murder for Pam Moore, guilty of first-degree murder for Linda Slavik, and guilty for Annette Selix for first degree murder and there was a special circumstance on her murder which was willful deliberate and premeditated and and committed during the commission of a lewd act upon a child under the age of 14.
Oh my god. The last conviction was the death penalty one.
It brought death penalty onto the table.
Now, apparently, Loretta Summers, his wife to be there, was in the courtroom, where the victim's families are, by the way. disrespectful and when this was read out she wrote oh my god they did it Of course they did.
I'm not kidding you. I would have murdered her in that courtroom.
If I was Susan's, like, Annette's mother.
Yeah, like, what? If I was any of these people's family members, that's unreal.
Like, are you kidding me, Loretta? She has something wrong with her, clearly.
Get it together. Ugh. So go fuck yourself, Loretta.
The judge said, quote, to even the most hardened eye, the crimes were almost unbearable. unimaginably brutal, savage attacks on defenseless young women, all sexually ravaged.
The jury first was deadlocked on a decision of whether to impose the death penalty or not.
But they reconvened and they voted to send him to death for the murders of Annette Sellex and Linda Slavik. and they voted for life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murders of Annette Edwards and Pam Moore.
He was sent to San Quentin prison, so he was correct.
And of course, he had appeals that were all denied.
And in March 2000, he had his last clemency hearing.
Linda Slavik's father, Wally, was there.
He said, quote, to me, the only person that can give forgiveness is the primary party or God.
And Linda's not here to give forgiveness.
Boom. Annette Selix's mother and her stepfather David and Sharon's sister Linda were there, so Annette's aunt.
Burton, Pam Moore's brother was there. He was only seven when she was killed. and several of the rape survivors were there.
Burton, Pam Moore's brother, said, quote, the punishment is far too late and far too lenient.
I think they should take him to that dump and use a rock.
I agree. I can't blame them. Linda, Annette's aunt, spoke because Susan literally couldn't.
She was like, I still can't talk about this.
And she said, this broke my heart. She said, quote, We've been unjustly sentenced to 22 years of hell.
Please, please put all of us out of our much prolonged misery.
Yeah. David Tidwell, her stepfather, said, quote, we're wasting time.
Just kill him. He better pray there's not a life after death.
If there is, he better hide. i love it i can't imagine the anger they have i can't imagine One of the survivors said that she still hadn't been able to fully reconcile what had happened to her.
And she said it was affecting her marriage now.
And she said, quote, we are never alone.
Daryl Rich is always there between us. Which like, That's terrible.
My whole body just like, whoa. Because it must be.
There's no intimate moment ever again. Like what's been taken from you?
And I get it that he's still around. So you just feel like he's there.
Mm-hmm. His execution after that last clemency hearing was set to go forward.
They didn't want to hear anything about him.
But then they found out his plans for after death.
What? He wanted to be buried next to his mother.
A grave that would be 100 feet away from the grave of Annette Sellicks.
Are you kidding? hitting me. So luckily, after a lot of uproar, and people literally trying to get legislation put into place at this time, preventing murderers from being buried next to their victims.
Daryl. said that he would be buried in a different cemetery and his mother was exhumed and moved to that location as well.
I feel like she wouldn't even want to be next to him anyway.
No, probably not. March 14th, 2020. execution day good he was put to death by lethal injection he was 45 years old and the last thing he said was peace are you fucking kidding me he said peace he said peace after destroying how many people's worlds he said peace yep Awesome.
Literally, I hope he... He is... One of the worst.
One of the worst. To say peace. After you did what you did to how many little girls and women?
To exit the world and say peace. 15 year olds, 14 year olds, 17 year olds. women, an 11-year-old, mothers, wives, daughters, friends, sisters, co-workers, like, Fuck.
What the fuck? Like, Daryl Rich is fucking...
I hope if there's an afterlife, I hope he's having a... I hope he's hiding.
I hope he's having a time. Yeah. Wow. So yeah, that is the story of Daryl Keith Rich.
I don't know how it, I didn't know all about that, but damn.
I don't know either. Now you guys have to know it too.
So thank you for that. But I've, you know, it's especially like all of them.
It just those especially those four murder victims.
It's just like. They were literally just walking, like just like just minding their own business, like living.
Not that anybody puts themselves in a position to have that happen, but it's like they're just walking home.
No. Right. and to know David Tidwell was reluctant to let her go. to the market i know that is horrible i feel awful like that imagine nobody should have to live with that But wow, that was a doozy and a half.
