Facts Behind CHANGELING: The Gordon Stewart Northcott Case (Part 1 of 6)
The case of Gordon Stewart Northcott--the pedophile and serial child killer in Riverside County, California in the late 1920s--inspired the recent Clint Eastwood movie CHANGELING, starring Angelina Jolie as Christine Collins, the mother of one of Northcott's victims. I am James Jeffrey Paul, author of the first-ever biography of Northcott, NOTHING IS STRANGE WITH YOU: THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF GORDON STEWART NORTHCOTT. The book is now available from Amazon and other online vendors. (I should add that the script for CHANGELING was not based upon my book, nor my book upon it.) This multi-part video records a talk I gave on the subject to the Riverside Historical Society at the Riverside Public Library on 26 October 2008. The gentleman who introduces me is Mr. Steve Lech, head of the Riverside Historical Society. The photograph is in the public domain, and shows Christine Collins talking with Northcott in the LA County Jail's hospital. Erratum: At one point on one of these videos, I say that the Winslow brothers (Northcott's final two victims) were kidnapped off the streets of Los Angeles. I should have said Pomona.
In early 2004 several murder victims mutilated bodies were found in the Los Angeles county area. The L.A.P.D. later reported that the murder cases were 'solved'. But more and more victims mutilated and decapitated bodies were still being found weeks later. Then by the Summer of 2004, with a body count of up to 50 victims, the L.A.P.D. decided to keep the murders hidden from the press and the public. This was due to the fact that the killer could not be found and because the L.A.P.D. and the FBI then realized that the killer might not be human. Then detectives found a videotape...from the killer. This is that story. The killer has never been found.

Cuarto Milenio
John Wayne Gacy (March 17, 1942 - May 10, 1994) also known as The Killer Clown, was an American serial killer. He was convicted and later executed for the rape and murder of 33 boys and young men between 1972 and his arrest in 1978, 27 of whom he buried in a crawl space under the floor of his house, while others were found in nearby rivers. He became notorious as the "Killer Clown" because of the many block parties he threw for his friends and neighbors, entertaining children in a clown suit and makeup, under the name of "Pogo the Clown."

(Documentary) Serial Killers_The Real Life Hannibal Lecters (2001)
This documentary examines a selection of real life serial killers and compares them to the fictional Hannibal Lecter.
This film, and Broomfield's follow up, should be viewed by anyone who wants to reexamine their feelings about capital punishment. Wurous is abused by everyone, obviously at least half mad, and in a state of terror at being incarcerated. A ghoulish group of hanger ons try to exploit her at every turn (interestingly, the lawyer is given a questionable reprieve in the sequel) and even grease her path to the electric chair. The system to takes a crack at exploiting her "fame." Some dismiss Broomfield's work as egocentric and cheap shot ridden; I find it honest and actually quite compassionate. I think he was derided for presenting an unflattering portrait of the then in vogue Courtney Love. Well, looks like he was right on that one too. This is, I think, his strongest film. But see the sequel too; one the grim jokes turn themselves inside out.
Nick Broomfield's second documentary on Aileen Carol Wuornos, a highway prostitute who was executed in 2002 for killing seven men in the state of Florida. This second installment includes the filmmaker's testimony at Wournous's trial.

Historical documentary examining a remarkable escape attempt from Alcatraz prison. In June 1962, three inmates successfully broke out of the jail and took to the waters of San Francisco Bay in a makeshift raft, never to be seen again. The film uses interviews with former inmates, guards and FBI agents to piece together the story of the escape, while three modern-day coastguards board a replica of the raft to see if it could have carried the men to freedom.
