hi guys how are you
today I hope you’re having a wonderful day
my name is Bailey Sarian
and welcome to another episode of Murder
mystery makeup
was that a good
intro probably not if you’re new here every Monday
we sit down or I sit down and talk about a true crime
story that’s been
heavy on my noggin
and I just kind of like tell you what happened what was
going on and then
just to keep me busy I do makeup if you like true crime
and you like makeup we’ve
married the 2
and now we’re here
welcome and
other than that I will stop rambling and let’s
get into it
Edmund Kember III
he was a serial killer
and he also was a necrophile
and he would become
known as the Coed Killer
so Edmond was born December 18th 1948
in Burbank California
and Edmond he had an
older sister and a younger
sister so he was the middle child
I’m a middle
child as well so no we don’t always turn
into serial killers it’s okay if you’re a middle child
so Edmunds father
his name is
Edmund Kemper
the Second he was a
World War 2
veteran so he
would describe his
marriage to his wife Clarnelle who is
Edmunds father mother
well I’m being confused
anyways so Edmunds father and
mother they
would describe
their marriage as loveless
and damaging
the father he
would describe his
marriage to his wife as
well this is a
quote he said he
suicide missions in wartime
and the later atomic bomb
testings were nothing compared to living with Clarnelle
so based off what I’ve read
about Clarnelle the mother
she was not a nice
lady and if there’s anything we’ve
learned here
on these Monday
episodes is that when
Mama ain’t nice
it doesn’t end well for the child’s
right like we can we can
gather that
based off what we’ve discussed here
it’s not always the case
but for some people it
doesn’t end well and
yeah so Clarinell
she was just
she was very
verbally abusive
towards her husband she
would make him feel like crap
about his job
I mean nothing was ever good enough for her
so she would do a lot of belittling
she would attack
not physically it was more emotionally and verbally
when she had
Edmund her son she
would refuse to coddle her son
in fear that
she would turn him
quote turn him gay end quote
we’ll call him Ed
but this is not the same
Ed as last week okay this is a new Ed
so Ed began
to display dark
fantasies relating to sexuality and
death it was said that he
would decapitate his
sister’s dolls
and in second
grade he ended up
stalking his
second grade
teacher outside her house
I was trying to look
a little bit more into this like what they meant by
stalking but I
guess he would just like follow her home
and in second
grade I mean you were so
young so when he was
stalking his
second grade
teacher outside her
house he’d be
carrying his father’s bayonet
she’s like a
knife from the war I
think could be
wrong on that but it’s a knife
in second grade
1957 Edmund
the Second the father
he left the family now the kids were pretty much
stuck with their mother ed
would describe his relationship with his mother
very difficult
she was an alcoholic
she was emotionally
and physically abusive
towards just Ed
like not the
other children
maybe because
Ed reminded
her of her ex husband
that’s just my thought
ed’s mom said that
she feared him because at the
age of 15 he was already
6ft 4 at 15
the boy was big
so she ended up making Ed
sleep in a locked basement for fear that
he would harm
his sisters
in an interview I was
watching with Ed
he said it it
definitely made him feel
really bad because
everybody else got to go upstairs and go to bed
while his mom
forced him to go down into this dark basement
and sleep there so Ed
would say that his mom on the reg
would insult him
abuse him constantly telling him that he’s
never gonna be anything in life
she put an emphasis on like
that no woman
would ever love him
so Edmund grew up to hate his
mother and at the
age of 14 he ran away from home
and he went to go
search for his father
to go live with
him and his father was living in Van Nuys
California ed
would stay with his dad for a little bit but
his father ended up
having to remove
Ed from the
house because of the stress that
Ed was causing onto his new wife
she said that she had been suffering from
migraines due to all the stress from Ed
but when I dug a little bit deeper
I couldn’t exactly figure out what the stress was
everybody has opinions as to what it was but
I don’t know
and I don’t
wanna give wrong information
anywho so then
Edmunds father
was like okay
go stay with your paternal
grandmother and grandfather
in North Fork
California so Ed
moves in with his grandma and grandpa
and then Ed
claims that his
grandmother was very similar
to his own mother
she also just like
ed’s mom was very abusive
verbally abusive
I don’t know if there was
physical abuse
going on but
still verbally emotionally abusive and
Ed would say that he disliked
his grandmother
1t okay I forgot to mention something when
Ed was living with his
his mom and his
sisters and
stuff I mean I said that he
would he would
decapitate is at the word
he would cut off the heads of his
sister’s dolls
but he also
would ask his
sisters to play a game he called gas chamber
and in this game he would
blindfold his
sisters and then tie them to a chair
with like some kind of cord
and then he
would pretend to
be in agony
until they died
the game doesn’t make
sense to me it
doesn’t sound fun
but that was a game that he played
he also said they
had like a big rug or something and in the room so they
would take turns like
wrapping each
other up in the rug
and then you
would have to try and get out
with no help he just like to see them struggle which
okay and then at the
age of 8 or 9
Ed would describe
going to a magic show
and it was at like a
comic bookstore
this magician was there
and he was doing a trick
and you know
those things
I’m drawing a
blank on the name it’s what they used
in the olden
days to chop people’s heads you know the holes
anyways he went to go see a
magician the
magician took
a volunteer from the audience
to chop their head off and Ed
describes being there
and he was like oh what
kind of getting
excited like
he’s gonna chop
some someone’s head off I I have to I have to
watch I mean he’s 8 or 9 you
gonna be intrigued a little bit
so then the um this girl
that was pulled from the audience
she comes up on
stage to get her head
chopped off
awesome Ed would say
that the girl was just so beautiful
she was smiling and laughing
and she put her head into the
chopper and the
magician pulled
the string the
blade came down
and because it’s a magic
trick and it’s not real the blade like
doesn’t chop your head off it stops
and the girl survived
but Ed would say that this kind of
like this introduced him to
control of like
chopping off
a pretty girl’s head
but in an interview that I watched of
Ed in prison he
you can tell by the
way he’s describing it it played like a big part in his
childhood he just
remembered it was such
great detail
and he just seemed to be getting
excited over it
and that’s kind of
where it would like it was introduced
you know say
he was like what
you could chop the head off
it was said at 10 years old and he had
taken the house cat
and he ended up
bearing the
house cat alive
in the family backyard
and then at 13 years old
he used a knife
and he killed
a cat he buried it also in the backyard and his mom
found it and there’s one
thing that’s constant
when it comes to serial killers or people who end up
killing they always tend to kill animals at a very
young age like it’s a big red flag okay
ed did have that pattern as well
flash forward to Ed
now living on the farm with his
grandparents and
ed’s grandfather gave him a
point 22 caliber
rifle to shoot and kill rabbits
and gophers this
did worry like his
grandmother because he would see
some kind of rage happening with Ed
he would be
shooting and killing birds
trying to shoot
other animals
so his grandmother would
like hide their
their handgun that they had in the
house she would hide that because she was afraid that
Ed was gonna
take it when she wasn’t looking or
something so
his grandmother did have feelings of like let’s
let’s not do that let’s not let’s take the gun away but
the grandfather
said it’s fine
let him shoot
these animals that are coming up and like
ruining our farm
let’s give him something to do
so then August
27th 1964 comes around
ed has this rage that’s been
building inside of him for years
he was now 15 years old at this time
and he was with his
grandmother in the kitchen
and they got into
some kind of argument no idea what the argument was
about but they had gotten into an argument
I guess his
grandmother was sitting at the
kitchen table
ed goes and
he grabs the handgun he comes into the
kitchen he gets behind his
grandmother who’s sitting at the
table and he
shoots her in the head 3 times
now at this time his grandfather was out at the grocery
store like running errands
or something
but his grandfather wasn’t home
so his grandfather pulled up
he was coming home he was in the
driveway and
Ed thought to himself
I should probably kill my grandfather
so before his grandfather
could even get into the
house okay he was
still out in the
driveway ed
comes out with the gun and he shoots
his grandfather
in the head as well
and later Ed
would say that he did it because
he wanted to
protect his grandfather from seeing his wife dead
and then possibly having a
heart attack
so after he kills them he then
Ed he calls his
mother calls up his
mother on the
phone and he’s like what do I do you just shot 2 people
your grandparents what do you mean what do you do
and his mom said you need to call the police
and if you don’t call the police I’m
gonna call the police
so Ed he ends
up calling the police okay he does turn himself in
and then police take
him into the station and they ask him like why did you
shoot your grandparents
and Ed said
quote to see what it felt like
so I don’t know
about you guys
but for me personally like he needs to be locked up for
some time so then
Ed was handed over to the
California Youth Authority
so there he he met with different
psychiatrist to see um
if he had a mental illness like what was going on
and they also gave him an IQ test
that is the
first time that he
learned and
had learned of his high score
he took this IQ test and he scored a one
36 which is a genius
level and then
later on down the road he took the test
again and scored a one
40 which is like
super genius
oh he’s just a
genius okay
now they probably
shouldn’t have done this because it did boost
ed’s ego he’s like
I’m a fucking
genius so psychiatrist did some testing like I had
mentioned to see if he suffered from any mental illness
and Ed was diagnosed as
paranoid and
psychotic by a
court appointed
psychiatrist
ed was sent to a maximum security facility
for the mentally ill convicts
not just any
mentally ill for
mentally ill convicts
and then in 1969
he was released and he was only there for 5 years
which had me so confused
he killed 2 people
he killed his
grandmother and grandfather
and his reasoning for killing
is because he just he wanted to know how it felt
and then after 5 years
they let him go because he was doing really well
and his juvenile
criminal record was expunged
which means like it was
pretty much erased from his record
like he had
never done it
so when he got out he was now 21
doctors had
told him it’d be best if he did not move in with his
mother or live with his mother
again because of her past
abuse but I feel like
he also didn’t have anywhere else to go so he ended up
moving back in with his
mother in Santa Cruz
California and she had
moved there
because she took a job at the
University of
California he
still had to
check in with probation
psychologists
within those 5 years
of being in prison he knew exactly what to say to them
does that make
sense like he just knew how to work it so
Ed was considered low risk like
when he would check in
he seemed fine
everything seemed to be
going really well seemed
quote unquote
normal whatever the you know yeah
he seemed fine
so he was considered low risk
since we’re here talking about him
we know now that he was far from
fine Ed began living in
places across
Northern California
and then periodically he
would return to his mother’s
house when he had run out of
money and he
had nowhere to stay
and he also attended community college for a
short time and he worked a variety of jobs
and eventually
he got employment
with the Department of
Transportation
in 1971 now Ed
really wanted to become a police officer or a
state trooper
ed was rejected
because he reached the maximum height requirement
which I didn’t even know
that they had a maximum height requirement to become
a police officer like I
would think they
would want big
buff dudes because I don’t know like when it
that’s what I thought he had weighed
£300 and he was 6ft 9
that’s a big
boy he became friends with a lot of the guys who were
state troopers and they gave him a nickname of Big Ed
and he would kind of hang around the
Santa Cruz police officers and he
would hang around like the bar that all the guys
would hang out at
he just really
wanted to become a police officer
so that was like kind of
crushing to him
because that was his goal ed
ended up buying a
motorcycle because he
he couldn’t be a cop
but he want to like act like one so he bought
a motorcycle and
thank God he didn’t become a police officer
so while Ed
was out riding his
motorcycle he
ended up getting hit by a car
and his arm was badly injured
now some reports
say that it was his head that was injured
but others said it was his arm
so it was either his head or his arm
maybe it was both
it was injured
he ended up receiving a settlement of 15
000 from the
other driver
because they were at fault
and then with the settlement
money he ended up purchasing a new car
which resembled an unmarked police patrol car
so Ed was feeling some type of way
he couldn’t become a police officer because
he was too tall
now he couldn’t even ride his
motorcycle because he got hit by a car
he couldn’t even work at the time because
he was badly injured so
like what do you do now a normal person
would find something else to do hopefully
but Ed decided
to just go down a
completely different path
ed had noticed a
large number of women
hitchhiking in the area
he would start picking up hitchhikers and
would refine
his technique
of how he picked up
these hitchhikers and got to the
point where
he could easily
pick up hitchhikers and seem
trustworthy
and approachable and
comfortable
so he would pick up lady hitchhikers and then he
would let them go
he offered a ride to 2 Fresno
State students Mary Ann
and then another girl
named Anita
and they were
both hitchhiking just trying to get home I believe from
school unfortunately
they did not make it to their
destination
so the families of Mary
Anne and Anita they had
reported them missing
and then on August 15th out in the wood
like a wooded area in
Santa Cruz a
woman’s head was
found and it was
later determined that it was
Mary anne’s head
Anita unfortunately was her remains
was never found
later on down the road he would
explain that he
stabbed and killed Anita
and he tried to strangle Mary
but that didn’t work so he
ended up stabbing her and cutting her
throat he then brought the
bodies back to his
apartment and removed
their heads in
their hands
ed also said that he engaged
in sexual activity with
their corpses
later that year September 14th 1972
Ed picked up 15 year old Iiko
she caught on to his
scheme and tried
to escape so she was hitchhiking as well ed
he had taped her
mouth shut and
tried to suffocate her by putting
his fingers
in her nostrils
so she will suffocate
and realizes that this isn’t working
so then he ended up taking a
scarf that she was wearing strangled her sadly
and then he raped her
she’s 15 like come on
dick I hate this guy he’s disgusting so then he
places her body into the
trunk of the car and
and then he decides I want to go get
an adult beverage at the bar
so he goes to
the bar that he normally always goes to with a
bunch of police officers like that’s
where they all hang out
he goes there and he grabs a
drink with them
like who does that
ed does apparently
he then brings her body back to his
house and he
starts to just
I don’t know if dissect dissect
I don’t know if dissect
is the correct or dismember he takes off her limbs okay
he had this obsession
decapitating
his victim so he would
chop their heads off
and then he
would drop his the heads somewhere
also take off
their hands
oh my gosh like the magician
duh god okay I was sitting here forever
trying to figure out why he just took off the head
that’s why he put a big emphasis on that
magician thing
oh he takes her head off and then he
drove around with her head
and hands in the car for the day in a bag
and then he went to a court appointed meeting and
after his meeting he then disposed
the hands and the head in separate locations
January 1973
ed continued to act on his murderous impulses
and he picked up another hitchhiker
named Cindy
Cindy he he shot and killed and then while
ed’s mother was out of the house ed
took cindy’s body to
the house and he hid
cindy’s body in his room and just like his
other victims he
dismembered her body the following day he took bits and
pieces of the
of her body
and he threw them into the ocean
he took her head and he buried it in his
mother’s backyard
and he left it facing upwards towards his
mother’s bedroom
and according to him
he did that because his
mother quote
always wanted people to look up to her
and then February
5th 1973 Ed
and his mother got into a
fight was filled with rage
and he was just
ready to kill
so he gets in his car and he uses his mom’s
campus parking
sticker you know like a
community college or college in general
you normally have like a parking pass so you can
get onto the
campus or whatever so he takes that
and then Ed
stated that the next good looking girl he saw
would die so he sees 2 students
rosalind and
Alice are their names
he sees them they’re both good looking
he said he was like attracted to them and then
shortly after picking them up he didn’t stop the car
so normally he would like
pull over and
kill who was ever in the car with him
but he said
this time he didn’t stop the car he was just driving
and he turns
to Alice in the back seat
and he just
shoots her several times
and then he shot Roseland
point blank
then he pulls over into
a cul de sac
and he I guess it’s just like a quiet
cul de sac there
weren’t many
street lights or anything
and then he
takes the bodies and he
places them into the
trunk of his car once again
decapitated both of the girls and then he dismembers
their bodies
he also removed the bullets from
their head and then he disposed of their
body parts in different locations in March
there were some people out hiking
on Highway 1
in San Mateo
County and then
these hikers came across heads
called the police
now at the time of
ed’s murders 2
other serial killers John Frazier and
Herbert Molins they were also
perpetrating
their own crimes in the area
which then resulted
in Santa Cruz
receiving the nickname the murder Capital
of the World
in the press
so there was just like a lot of murders happening
in that area
and that time for Ed
he was dubbed the Coed Killer and the Coed
Butcher by the
press so then
April 1973 Ed
would commit
what would be his last 2 murders
Edmund is a dick
so on Good Friday
Ed went to his
mother’s home
he says that he had like a very unpleasant exchange
they got into a
fight did his mom know you
think then his
mother decided to go to
sleep and I guess
Ed just couldn’t take it anymore it’s been
building up for years
4 years and he’s been
dreaming of the opportunity
to kill his mother
while she was asleep
he beat his
mother to death with a claw hammer
he then dismembered her body
just like his
other victims
he removed his
mother’s head
I mean okay look look look look
look side note this
whole story is
absolutely disgusting what he did to his mother is
he removed his mother’s head and then he raped her
severed head meaning he forced his mother’s head
to have oral sex with him
and this is like what he says this is what he says okay
had oral sex with his his mom’s head
he then takes her head he
places it onto the fireplace mantle
and he used her head as a dart board
something I thought I’d never say in my lifetime
but he did that okay he cuts out her
his mother some
tongue and her Larnix
aka the voice box
he cuts that out
and then he places them into the garbage disposal ed
would describe that the car the garbage disposal
it actually didn’t
he’s so stupid he says that
as he was trying to get rid of these 2
things the garbage disposal kept spitting it back
up like it wasn’t
taking it he was like I have a great idea
I’m gonna call up my friend my mom’s friend
Sally and he invites her over for dinner
so he’s waiting for Sally
to come over
once she comes over and she enters the house
shortly after she arrived
he strangled her
and once she died hit her body in a closet
and then he ended up having sex with her body
later that night
so then Ed fled the area the next day in
sally’s car
he went to like a rent a car place
and then he switched out the cars
so he first took
sally’s car
used that drove
for quite some time
stopped at like a rent a car place and got another car
then drove 18 hours
stopping only for gas and soda
that’s what he said
gas and soda he drove east all the way
until he got to Colorado and then on April 23rd he
made a call to Santa Cruz
police to confess his crimes
so at first they didn’t believe him because
they knew him as Big
Ed remember I said
they hung out at the bar and
stuff and he became friends with all of them
so now Ed was calling them and saying
I’m the one that
killed all these people
just they couldn’t believe him but he did confess
and he turned
himself into the police who then handed them over
handed him over to
Santa Cruz Police Department
and then during interrogation
he led police officers and investigators
to all the evidence they needed to
prove that he was in fact
the Coed killer the police
department was
completely shocked that this guy was
literally right in
front of them this
whole time so
Ed was taken into custody
and confessed to all
8 murders in
great detail
he took the investigators to various
disposal sites
where they thought the investigation
would never end he
was arrested in
April of 1973 at the
age of 24 years old
and at the age of 24 he had murdered 6
women students his own
mother and her best friend
Ed was charged with
8 counts of
first degree murder
he went on trial for his
crimes in October of 1973
he was found guilty of
all of the charges in
early November 1973
concurrent life sentences
so he’s never getting out so currently
Ed is serving his time at
California Medical Facility
here in California
Ed was asked by a Cosmopolitan
magazine reporter during a prison interview
how he felt when he saw a pretty girl
after killing his
mother and he said
quote one side of me says
I’d like to talk to her
date her the
other side says
I wonder how her head
would look on a stick
so that’s good
ed was up for parole on July
25th of 2017
and the California parole board
quietly denied him parole
during his last parole hearing he actually
tried to take back his confession that he
gave to the police because he said that he was immature
at the time he was
young and he thought by pleaing guilty
he said he thought it was helping
build a case supporting his
psychiatric plea
of not guilty by reason of insanity
some reports say that he was a cannibal that he
ate some of his
victims but there’s actually no
proof that he did so
and Ed had claimed that he did it
but he also says that he was lying
I didn’t read anything
about him being a cannibal
but that doesn’t mean it’s not true I
guess we don’t really know if it’s true or not only Ed
knows that it’s true
because different sources say different
things so it’s really hard
to know what’s true and what’s not true I’m not
gonna say he is because I don’t I don’t
I don’t know so currently he’s
still in prison
for a while he was
teaching computer science inside the facility to
other inmates
also he says he
routinely answers his fan mail
at the prison
like I mentioned in my last
video get better idols be better
could you imagine if
this guy who was a
quote unquote genius
genius like you do you know like the
things he could have done for this
world and actually helped it
become a better
place but instead he
chose to be a
piece of shit you know like that sucks
be better be
fucking be better
I think the
biggest take away from this is please don’t hitchhike
don’t get in a car with strangers
oh Uber I don’t
think people really hitchhike much anymore but I don’t
know what you guys do out there just don’t hitchhike
okay anyways I hope you have a wonderful day
today make good choices please
be safe I appreciate you guys so much for
hanging out with me I’ll be seeing you guys later bye
