Field teams search for clues.
A task force of state, local and federal investigators was formed.
They look for links between the victims.
They all were academic stars of the University of Florida, or Santa Fe Community College.
All were in different programs.
Someone was targeting students and loved to terrorize them mentally and physically.
The killer had obvious major psychological problems.
This looks like a hunter, picking and stalking his prey.
The number of stab wounds varied.
This was not a panicked killer who acted out and then fled.
This killer took his time.
With all the evidence collected, the suspect list grows to over 600 men.
Aug. 30, 1990
He recently was evicted from Tracy Paules and Manny Taboada's apartment complex.
He liked to dress in combat gear and carry a knife.
He would often threaten tenants.
People knew him as a violent weirdo.
He was a scar-faced student, that got the scars from a traffic accident and who had a mental illness, is accused of battering his 79-year-old grandmother after driving home from Gainesville.
Is the Gainesville Ripper caught?
Police search Humphrey's apartment.
There was a bright side and a dark side to his apartment.
One side was all neat and organized.
The other side was all dirty, disorganized and broken.
They found no murder weapon, and no new evidence.
Results finally came back from semen that was left at the murder scenes, they didn't match Humphrey.
A new lead points towards the killer...
Investigators look back and find an unsolved triple murder in Shreveport, Louisiana a year earlier.
The victims and the method of murder are strikingly similar.
Julie along with her father Tom and her nephew Shawn were stabbed to death.
Julie was staged the same way the ladies in the Gainesville murders were staged.
The Shreveport police think they know who killed Julie and her family.
He is a drifter, named Danny Rolling and he has been on the run ever since.
