you can help

00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:36,667
find this missing 19-year-old.
10
00:01:36,667 --> 00:01:38,100
She's Lea Chali Porter.
11
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,166
She lives in Pueblo,
but she was in Westminster
last Thursday,
12
00:01:41,166 --> 00:01:42,700
when she went missing.
13
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:53,000
Now, take a look.
Porter's hair is dyed blond,
but she has brown hair.
14
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,767
She also has a tattoo
on her wrist,
15
00:01:54,767 --> 00:01:56,900
and her lower lip is pierced.

00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:58,967

or Westminster

[eerie music playing]

00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:10,767
[Nameeta] Knowing that
Christopher Waide
had some very dark
20
00:03:10,767 --> 00:03:13,700
and particularly sadistic
urges and fantasies
21
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,767
as young as teenage life
in high school,
22
00:03:16,767 --> 00:03:18,867
would be a reason for
any parent to be concerned.
23
00:03:18,867 --> 00:03:21,967
And Max Porter, because he
went to school with Waide,
24
00:03:21,967 --> 00:03:24,000
and was aware of these rumors,
25
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,734
he's understandably really
worried about his sister.
26
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,667
Waide presents here,
as somebody who's
really nervous.
27
00:04:32,667 --> 00:04:36,900
His answers almost
seemed like they were
written for him.
28
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:40,166
Like, he's thought about
what he was going to say,
and he's going by his script.
29
00:04:40,166 --> 00:04:42,166
Very stilted,
very uncomfortable.
30
00:04:42,166 --> 00:04:44,767
And he drops comments
here and there.
31
00:04:44,767 --> 00:04:47,500
Almost comments, like,
he thinks he should say.
32
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:49,500
Like, he was concerned
about her drug addiction.
33
00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:50,500
He found drugs.
34
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,100
She seemed depressed.
35
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:55,467
But there's really
not a lot of emotion
behind what he's saying.
36
00:04:55,467 --> 00:04:58,166
It's almost, to me,
like he's more concerned
37
00:04:58,166 --> 00:05:01,300
about saying the right thing
during this interview,
38
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:04,567
than he is about not knowing
where his friend is.

00:05:26,266 --> 00:05:28,700
[Charles] First, you having
already lost a friend.
40
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:32,500
This has been also seen
in other cases where
people make us slip.
41
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:34,900
It does raise
their suspicions.
42
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:37,000
Some people would say
that's due to what we call
43
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,166
the guilty knowledge
in our head.
44
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:42,567
And that influences
the way we think
and the way we speak.
45
00:05:42,567 --> 00:05:45,367
And he probably didn't
intend to say it that way.
46
00:05:45,367 --> 00:05:48,367
But you can probably
believe it's true.
47
00:05:48,367 --> 00:05:50,066
He's already lost that friend.
48
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,166
He's expressing a concern
49
00:06:36,166 --> 00:06:38,066
that the reason
he's cooperating with police
50
00:06:38,066 --> 00:06:40,100
is because they're telling him
he's not a suspect
51
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:43,667
and he wants to make sure
he continues to control
that narrative.
52
00:06:43,667 --> 00:06:45,867
And ensure that
he stays off their radar.
53
00:06:45,867 --> 00:06:49,266
But what Waide's
engaging in is constant
impression management.
54
00:06:49,266 --> 00:06:51,767
The problem is,
he doesn't think quickly
on his feet.
55
00:06:51,767 --> 00:06:53,266
And when it's not rehearsed,
56
00:06:53,266 --> 00:06:55,800
you see these
awkward behaviors
and these cognitive leaks
57
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,266

in the media interview.

What we now understand
about pornography addiction
60
00:08:15,567 --> 00:08:18,400
and the influence
of pornography exposure
61
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,066
on young children
as their brains are developing
62
00:08:21,066 --> 00:08:23,367
and their sexual identity
is developing,
63
00:08:23,367 --> 00:08:29,100
is that it sets up
an expectation around
sexuality, intimacy
64
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:32,667
and interacting
with sexual partners,
that's highly unrealistic.
65
00:08:32,667 --> 00:08:35,700
And what also seems
quite clear is that
66
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:37,567
there were early warning signs
67
00:08:37,567 --> 00:08:41,533
and his the family chose
to minimize the seriousness
of those.
68
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,166
[Chriscelyn] Here we have
Waide's own mother
69
00:09:53,166 --> 00:09:56,266

and the other perceptions
70
00:09:56,266 --> 00:09:58,166
that Lea's family
has about him.
71
00:09:58,166 --> 00:10:01,367

about these red flags,

sexual fantasies,

violent deviant fantasies,
but also actual behavior,
74
00:10:07,567 --> 00:10:09,600
where he enacted
some of those fantasies.
75
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,967
When you take that
with what we have
in this current situation,

where he's being investigated
for a missing woman...
77
00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:18,667
It certainly
is very concerning

00:10:18,667 --> 00:10:21,967

all the history that
we have thus far.

The psychological evaluation
from the United States Army

00:10:49,367 --> 00:10:53,867
that was done in preparation
for Waide's discharge
81
00:10:53,867 --> 00:10:57,000
paints a very different
picture than what his mother
wants to believe,
82
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,567
or what he maybe told her.
83
00:10:58,567 --> 00:11:01,367
Waide was quite forthcoming
with the doctor
84
00:11:01,367 --> 00:11:06,367
that he has ongoing urges
and fantasies of raping
a specific classmate.
85
00:11:06,367 --> 00:11:09,066
And what the doctor
ultimately says, which is both
86

alarming and quite astute,
87
00:11:12,166 --> 00:11:15,166
is that while there's
no evidence
88
00:11:15,166 --> 00:11:18,000
that Waide has harmed anybody,
he's dangerous.
89
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,066
He has the potential
for dangerousness.
90
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,367
This particular scene
where he's being interviewed
by the police,
91
00:12:33,367 --> 00:12:36,667
and he's going like,
"Oh, I do, you know,
criminal justice."
92
00:12:36,667 --> 00:12:40,000
It's a way of saying,
"I'm kind of like you."
93
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,166
Like, "We have
something in common."
94
00:12:42,166 --> 00:12:45,800
It's his effort to control
the image of him
95
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,166
in the police's eyes,
to make him look like
96
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:50,266
he's cooperative,
he's on board,
97
00:12:50,266 --> 00:12:51,266
he's a good person.
98
00:12:52,367 --> 00:12:55,233
It's part of his image
of being the helpful friend.
99
00:15:07,266 --> 00:15:09,600
Here, Waide is almost
presenting himself
100
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,367
like he's an expert
in behavioral analysis
101
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:15,266
and almost teaching
the investigators
102
00:15:15,266 --> 00:15:17,367
about what a real smile
looks like
103
00:15:17,367 --> 00:15:19,600
and how he's able to discern
104
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,767
when she's telling him
the truth, or not.
105
00:15:21,767 --> 00:15:23,767
He wants them to believe
106
00:15:23,767 --> 00:15:25,667
that he knows more
than he really does
107
00:15:25,667 --> 00:15:28,667
and that he's
a different person
than he really is.
108
00:15:28,667 --> 00:15:30,333
He's lying and manipulating.
109
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:07,667
We see this parent, child
judgmental quality
110
00:17:07,667 --> 00:17:10,634
in Waide's attitude,
time and time again.
111
00:17:11,367 --> 00:17:14,000
What we also
need to pay attention to
112
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,800
is that consistent with
what we see
113
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,800
with psychopathic offenders
oftentimes,
114
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,100
is this shallow affect.
115
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:21,166
There's this shallowness
to his emotions.
116
00:17:21,166 --> 00:17:22,600
They're superficial.
117
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,700
He's using all these
flowery words,
118
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:29,767
as if he's re-reading a script
that he's worked out
in his head,
119
00:17:29,767 --> 00:17:34,500
that is gentle and soft
and almost romantic in nature.
120
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:37,467
And yet the words
and content he's describing
121
00:17:37,467 --> 00:17:40,433
is an ugly confrontation
about drug paraphernalia.
122
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:42,667
And the two just don't add up.
123
00:19:58,166 --> 00:20:02,066
So, the part that makes
no sense is, he's just said
to the police,
124
00:20:02,066 --> 00:20:04,500
"Maybe she took the intent
of my reading too far."
125
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:06,000
But when he's
explaining the reading,
126
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,667
it's supposed to be
a joyous, celebratory thing.
127
00:20:08,667 --> 00:20:10,767
There's nothing malevolent
in the reading that says,
128
00:20:10,767 --> 00:20:13,367
like, die, hurt yourself,
bad things coming up...
129
00:20:13,367 --> 00:20:17,800
She's off celebrating
or she's in a...
she's in a good space.
130
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,700
Which is really incongruous.
131
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:21,000
Why would you be worried?
132
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,533
So, the police have a right
to be suspicious of it.
133
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,700
We see Waide stumble here.
134
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:17,066
He didn't expect
law enforcement
to kind of confront him
135
00:21:17,066 --> 00:21:18,900
about some of the blood
evidence.
136
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:23,000
To confront him and push him,
and because he hadn't
thought about that,
137
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,467
he didn't have
a rehearsed answer.
138
00:21:24,467 --> 00:21:26,400
He didn't have an explanation.
139
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,367
But it is also important
to note the ease with which
he just makes something up.
140
00:21:31,367 --> 00:21:34,867
And that kind of pathological
compulsive ability to lie
141
00:21:34,867 --> 00:21:36,567
and just fill in the blanks
142
00:21:36,567 --> 00:21:40,867
is something we consistently
see time and time again
in psychopathic offenders.
143
00:22:50,767 --> 00:22:52,400
[Waide sighs]
144
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,467
[Charles] They're throwing out
information that they
don't yet really have.
145
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:56,367
Like, her cell phone
was found...
146
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,767
Right? With her clothing.
147
00:23:58,767 --> 00:24:01,600
And you hear Waide sigh.
148
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,166
He's got to come up
with a new story.
149
00:24:03,166 --> 00:24:05,667
And he goes,
"No, no, no. I saw her leave
with her cell phone."
150
00:24:05,667 --> 00:24:07,266
But then you'd hear him
sigh again.
151
00:24:07,266 --> 00:24:10,400
He's working really hard
at trying to figure out.
152
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,667
So, when he then finally says,
153
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:13,567
"I'm searching
for the right words",
154
00:24:13,567 --> 00:24:15,266
I believe him.
155
00:24:15,266 --> 00:24:16,900
He's trying to figure out,
156
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:19,834
"What is the best way
I can frame this."
157
00:26:18,266 --> 00:26:22,066
[Rene Jackson
screaming, sobbing]
158
00:28:18,100 --> 00:28:20,700
[Charles] A great moment
where you get a...
159
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,567
you get a peek, sort of,
into the thinking of
a psychopath
160
00:28:23,567 --> 00:28:25,266
who is self-absorbed.
161
00:28:25,266 --> 00:28:27,767
And he keeps saying,
"I know this is going to be
hard for you to hear."
162
00:28:27,767 --> 00:28:29,367
It's not really empathetic.
163
00:28:29,367 --> 00:28:32,934
His expectation is that
they should accept it
on his terms.
164
00:28:35,166 --> 00:28:37,567
But that's
the manifestation of control
165
00:28:37,567 --> 00:28:39,900
that you do see
with psychopaths.
166
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:41,467
They want to be in charge
of the information,
167
00:28:41,467 --> 00:28:45,233
and in control
of other people's
feelings about it.
168
00:31:46,266 --> 00:31:48,467
He's now, tossed in
the word, "rape."
169
00:31:48,467 --> 00:31:52,000
And he's now woven it into
the story to make him
the victim.
170
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,734
That he was going to be
accused of rape, and that
he was defending himself.
171
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000
But he, in the story,
is the victim.
172
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,066
It's consistent with how
he's tried to represent
himself all the way along.
173
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,967
Even at this point
in the investigation,
174
00:33:25,967 --> 00:33:29,467
when he is clearly
at the end of his rope,
175
00:33:29,467 --> 00:33:34,100
he's still not able
to say, "I murdered her. I am
responsible for her death."
176
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:36,767
He just says
I played a major role in it.
177
00:33:36,767 --> 00:33:39,967
And that
lack of responsibility-taking
178
00:33:39,967 --> 00:33:44,300
is something that we see
time and time again in
psychopathic individuals.
179
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:46,900
It's everybody else's fault
but theirs.
180
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:48,667
Or it's a misunderstanding.
181
00:34:37,700 --> 00:34:40,200
[Nameeta]
What we know from
the investigation is that,
182
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,000
we have a person who
engaged in quite a bit
183
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,800
of deviant
sexual fantasies, urges,
184
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,433
and, to some degree,
behaviors.
185
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,600
No less than 21,000 images
186
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,800
found on his computers
and various hard drives
187
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,300
that would be identified
as possible child pornography.
188
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:01,567
When you start to look
at all these things that are
found in Wade's history,
189
00:35:01,567 --> 00:35:03,567
we realize this is
somebody who has
190
00:35:03,567 --> 00:35:07,000
escalating deviant urges
that are sadistic in nature,
191
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,667
and when you
couple that with
the impulse control issues,
192
00:35:09,667 --> 00:35:11,634
this is a very
dangerous individual.
193
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,667
[Chriscelyn] Again,
we see the "I know better.
194
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:45,700
Let me discuss the semantics
of her death versus murder."
195
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:50,000
There is such a heightened
level of grandiosity
that's on display here,
196
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,300
and also a failure
to accept responsibility.
197
00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:56,000
So, we know that individuals
with psychopathy
198
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,066
often will find other reasons
to justify their behavior.
199
00:37:00,066 --> 00:37:01,266
So, maybe, in his mind,
200
00:37:01,266 --> 00:37:06,000
murder is just
coldly killing someone
without any provocation.
201
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,667
And he's still
somehow trying
to hang on to this idea
202
00:37:08,667 --> 00:37:11,767
that he was just
defending himself against her.
203
00:37:55,467 --> 00:37:58,667
It's interesting
and really speaks
to a lack of self-awareness
204
00:37:58,667 --> 00:38:00,767
that he talks about
the thing he values most,
205
00:38:00,767 --> 00:38:04,200
and the emotion
he values most is loyalty.
206
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,166
He talks about
"to friends", and we know
from the investigation
207
00:38:07,166 --> 00:38:09,300
he really doesn't have any.
208
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:13,667
So, what I think
he's really talking about
is loyalty to himself.
209
00:38:13,667 --> 00:38:17,300
He's betrayed himself.
He's told on himself.
210
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:20,667
He didn't handle this
the way he thought he would,
211
00:38:20,667 --> 00:38:24,266
and any suggestions of regret
really seem to be more
212
00:38:24,266 --> 00:38:27,400
about the fact
that he's gotten caught.
213
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,700
[reporter] Developing
right now, the search tonight
for the body of Lee Porter.
214
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:34,200
Her high school friend
is sitting behind bars,
linked to her murder.
215
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,066
Christopher Waide
turned himself in to
Westminster police last night.
216
00:38:38,066 --> 00:38:42,266
Now, the suspect is in jail
on charges of sexual
assault and murder.
217
00:38:42,266 --> 00:38:44,500
Police searched
his apartment twice,
218
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:48,734
and today, sectioned off
part of a public landfill
in connection with the case.
219
00:39:50,166 --> 00:39:54,066
So, in 2022,
almost eight years,
220
00:39:54,066 --> 00:39:56,000
sort of after being in prison,
221
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Christopher Waide
decides to write a letter
describing the events
222
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,500
of what took place on that day
when he killed Lea.
223
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:09,200
And it's not sent
to anyone in specific.
It's just sent to the court.
224
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,767
In the letter, he goes into
quite a bit of detail
225
00:40:12,767 --> 00:40:14,767
about the events
that occurred that day,
226
00:40:14,767 --> 00:40:18,367
um, that I think
are in many ways
227
00:40:18,367 --> 00:40:21,867
illustrative of what goes on
in the mind of a psychopath,
228
00:40:21,867 --> 00:40:24,233
in terms of the use
of other people.
229
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:32,000
What Waide
writes in the letter
is that, um,
230
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,066
when Lea was there,
she went into the bathroom.
231
00:40:35,066 --> 00:40:38,600
There was never
any episode of doing
a tarot reading for her.
232
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,100
There was never an episode
of her wanting drugs,
233
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,667
and trying to hold him
hostage with a knife.
234
00:40:44,667 --> 00:40:48,100
She went into the bathroom.
And then, he describes
this moment
235
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:52,100
when she came
out of the bathroom
where something just snapped,
236
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:56,166
and he was filled
with aggression, rage,
and sexual desire for her,
237
00:40:56,166 --> 00:40:58,467
and he immediately
attacked her,
238
00:40:58,467 --> 00:41:01,233
restrained her
and choked her.
239
00:41:03,767 --> 00:41:06,567
I think there's
more truth in here
about what he did to her,
240
00:41:06,567 --> 00:41:09,100
and the reason I believe that
is it's more consistent
241
00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:12,166
with what we know
about his fantasy life
and what he was interested in.
242
00:41:12,166 --> 00:41:15,000
But I don't believe that
he's told us the entire story.
