00:03 - Jim was something that I've never encountered before.
00:07 He was well respected in the community.
00:10 - He seemed like a really nice teacher.
00:13 - There's a lot of people that still to this day
00:15 look up to him, but it's far darker.
00:19 I'm just trying to figure out when I started thinking
00:22 that he killed people.
00:27 - My step-grandfather was a man named Jim Mordecai.
00:31 My entire life I have heard horror stories about him.
00:34 - He beat us up, he put us down.
00:37 - He either was the most charming man
00:39 you were ever gonna meet, or he was your worst nightmare.
00:43 - Being sexually assaulted by your step-parent
00:45 who happens to be a teacher, it just made me shut down.
00:49 - He would say awful things.
00:51 I was terrified of him.
00:53 - I remember my mom first mentioning
00:57 that she thought Jim could have been a murderer.
00:59 Maybe she wasn't just being my crazy mom.
01:01 Maybe this was based in some reality.
01:04 - It would not shock me if Jim had murdered some women.
01:08 I actually probably would be shocked if he didn't do it.
01:11 - Authorities say they have six of these homicides,
01:15 apparently all by the same mad killer.
01:17 - The similarities are just too weird.
01:20 - Does he resemble the person you might have seen?
01:23 - Holy shit.
01:24 - I need to know lots more.
01:26 (screaming)
01:28 - Oh my gosh.
01:29 - That knife.
01:30 - I don't even know what to feel.
01:34 - Do you think that your grandfather was involved?
01:36 - It sounds nuts, but here's the reality.
01:40 Somebody's grandpa was the serial killer.
01:43 Was it mine?
01:44 I don't know.
01:44 But somebody's grandpa was.
