He then shoved a cup at Ressler filled with part of a macaroni and cheese dinner. These UFOs followed him around and the FBI should be able to pinpoint them by putting a radar on him. He explained that the Nazis were connected to UFOs which had telepathically commanded him to kill to replenish his blood. The powder then depletes your energy and eats away at your body.Ĭhase also said that he was Jewish-which he was not-and that hed been persecuted by Nazis because he had a Star of David on his forehead-which he didnt. If its gooey, you have the poisoning, which turns your blood to powder. If you lift the soap and find that underneath it is dry, youre all right. Ressler asked him what that was and he explained that everyone has a soap dish. That he had fired shots at other houses indicated it was not altogether an accident.Ĭhase told the FBI profilers that he had killed to preserve his own life and he was developing an appeal based on that. He was just shooting his gun out the window of his car. He told a psychiatrist that the first killing had happened after his mother would not allow him to visit for Christmas. He also set a fire in his neighbors garage to drive them from the neighborhood because their music annoyed him. After the Griffin killing, he bought a newspaper and kept an editorial page about the senseless nature of that shooting. He then collected articles on the Hillside Strangler.

He also tormented a neighborhood family about their missing dog. It was after that that he killed his mothers cat and bought two dogs to kill. Nevertheless, the psychiatrists had released him, despite protests from some of the staff that he was dangerous.įrom the time he was arrested in Nevada in August, 1977, until the murders began in December paints a clear picture of a deteriorating mind. He describes how Chase had believed in 1976 that his blood was turning to powder and that he thus needed blood from other creatures to replenish it.

Robert Ressler recounts his encounter in a book, Whoever Fights Monsters. While interviewing killers all over the country to add information about criminal psychology to their database, FBI profilers visited Richard Chase and learned about some of his oddities.
