    He preyed on elderly women, and it’s fascinating to me that it was an old woman’s love is that would finally seal his fate. There’s a bit of poetic justice there.

      I mean, there’s an armchair psychiatrist out there that would say them being estranged is what led to his killing of old women. Why not old men? Just as easy a target. Older demographic so the men probably have more money, not to mention possible war medals or other trinkets. He probably had underlying psychosis and along w his drug addiction realizing he had no one left sent him over the edge so he lashed out at people who resembled the last family member he had. His estranged mother.

I hope that if I’m ever murdered (which is statistically possible,) you’ll speak the same way on my name.

    There was a similar case here in Latvia back in early 2000s. His name is Kaspars Petrovs. He was convicted of the murder of thirteen elderly women, however he's suspected to have taken the lives of 38 female elderly victims. During his 2005 trial he stated that he had not "intended to kill his victims, but only to rob them." Petrovs strangled the women after following them home and forcibly entering their apartments or posing as state gass company employee. He was sentenced to life in prison.
    I myself was born in year 2001 so for the longest time I had no idea we even had a serial killers case here in Latvia. I've never seen anyone cover this case before, most likely due to the location of the crime/possible lack of information but I'd love to see someone cover it someday.

      The first two weeks are the hardest, both for caffeine and nicotine. After that, you won't miss them anymore. Stay strong and be well!

    Just found your channel. A great addition to the true crime channels I follow like That Chapter and Disturban. I like it that you bring up cases that's more unknown for us living in the west. Couldn't have been easy finding and translate information about this case. Great job!

    Bashkiria is actually a region, not a city, so you can not say something like "Downtown Bashkiria". By the map, the city seems to be Ufa (with the stress on a).

    It just goes to show that even if you give up children you can't escape affecting their lives.
    Being abandoned by his mother most likely caused his resentment to older women (alongside convenience in robbery and his own psychopathy) and his mother's love (or at the very least curiosity or loneliness) caused him to get caught. She never stopped affecting his life, even when she wasn't part of it. It's fascinating and heartbreaking.
