JACK UNTERWEGER AND THE HOTEL CECIL


austrian serial killer jack unterweger murdered female prostitutes in parts of austria and czech republic in the early 1990's. he was convicted of his first murder and served time in prison. while in prison he wrote a book about his "rehabilitation" and became a celebrity, appearing on talk shows and receiving jobs as a journalist.  then the killing began once again.  after a few years the police were on to him and issued an arrest warrant. 
once on the lamb unterweger fled to los angeles where he posted as a journalist and actually received drive alongs courtesy the LAPD.
the don't mention by name, (legal reasons)  @ 20:10 ~ they all but name the HOTEL CECIL as  his residence. jack knew richard ramirez had stayed here during his killing spree of 1985, and choose the hotel cecil as a demented tribute.
