Las Vegas Serial Killer (1986) Movie Script

- Put your foot up on the stool.
How about the real thing, honey?
Is this what you want, honey?
- Garbage! Die, garbage!
WQXQ has just learned
that the Nevada Parole Board has approved
the release of
self-proclaimed serial killer,
Johnathan Klick, from
the state prison at Jean.
Klick has served only
six years behind bars
after claiming to have
killed seven young women
in a murderous five day rampage
in California and Nevada.
Noting that the body of only
one of his alleged victims
was ever found,
the parole board granted
Klick's release from a life sentence
after two court-appointed
psychiatrists
said they believed his lurid
claims of multiple murders
were part of a misguided
attempt to achieve notoriety.
Klick was convicted of
second-degree murder
in the strangulation
slaying of Mary Jean Arbor,
whose partially nude body was found
in a waste container near
his Las Vegas hotel room.
In granting Klick's release,
the parole board ignored impassioned pleas
from the parents of Klick's
other alleged victims.
Let's go to Vegas, Jack.

The highly
publicized birthday party
for Las Vegas film star,

when celebrants discovered
the body of a young woman
in the backyard of Flagg's home.
The name of the murder victim,
who had been strangled with the
top of her own bathing suit,

But Metro police said the woman
disappeared from the party
at Flagg's home shortly before her body
was discovered in a grass covered field
less than 50 feet from
the celebration.
Mr. Cash Flagg was not
available for comment.
Look out!

Bad legs, bad legs.

let's give a big hand to
Miss Kat Carson.
Come on.
Let's hear it for Miss Kat Carson.

All right.
This just
in, police are investigating
the murder of a young woman
whose body
was found last night in
a downtown parking lot
near Fremont street.
Metro Homicide Lieutenant
George Harper
said the victim had
apparently been strangled
less than an hour before
her body was discovered
by a city hall employee
who had been working late.
An autopsy is scheduled
for Thursday morning.
It is the second strangulation
death of a young woman
in Las Vegas over the
past 48 hours.
- Hi, pizza man.
Come on.
Topping
the local news at this hour,
Metro Police--
- Right there.
have identified the second
strangulation victim found
in Las Vegas
this week as Joanne Marley,
a 25 year old woman--
- Do you wanna swim?
with
an extensive arrest record
for prostitution.
Marley and real estate sales
woman Dorothy Genevese,
were slain within days of
the release from prison
of confessed serial killer
Johnathan Klick.
Metro Homicide Investigator
George Harper
said police are interested
in questioning Klick
about his whereabouts at
the time of the murders,
but declined to describe
the paroled killer
as a primary suspect in
the two recent cases.
Where's the pizza?
- Listened to your miserable
story for long enough.
I've had it. I'm up to here with it.
You're telling me the same
thing year in and year out,
and not finishing.
I'm not gonna listen to it anymore.
I'm fed up.
I, I just can't stand it anymore.
You tell me how much
you can't stand her,
but yet you stay with
this woman.
It doesn't make any sense
to me. I'm tired of her.
Are you gonna divorce her?
Are you gonna leave her?
No, you're not.
You're not gonna leave
her because you're afraid
you're gonna lose some money on that.
You're afraid to divorce her.
Well, I've had it with you.
I've had it. I just
can't stand it anymore.
You can keep your wife.
You can keep her, and you
know what you can do with her,
because I'm taking the Mercedes.
That's it. Finished.
I've had enough.
I can't stand it.
He just, he's got, he's
got the wrong lady here.
Quiet!
Come on.
Jack, you got her keys?
Pop the trunk open.
- Let go of me!
What are you doing?
- Jack, hurry up!
- Oh my God!

When I get my hands on you,

I could have died in here.
Did Joe put you up
to this? Huh.
Where, where is Joe?
Is he around?
Well, uh, thanks. Thanks
for letting me out.
I really appreciate it.
Uh, Joe did put you up

He did, didn't he?
Yeah.
As you listeners
probably already know,
it's Helldorado Time,
and what's a Helldorado
without a rodeo?
This year should prove
to be one of the best,
with top-ranking bronc busters
competing for big bucks.
It's happening over at
Sam's Town all this week.
So don't miss out.
Come on, cowboy!
Ride 'em, cowboy!
Ride 'em, ride 'em, oh!
Oh, damn! That guy looks like
Cash Flagg.
Two suspects,
one of whom was described
as bearded,
wearing a black T-shirt,
and carrying
a silver plated .357 Magnum,
savagely beat the Safe
Storage Warehouse manager,
before stealing his cash-filled briefcase.
Police theorize the two men
were spotted
by the manager's secretary
when she left the office,
and that they strangled her
to keep her from identifying them.
All right,
ladies and gentlemen,
let's give a big hand to
Miss Kat Carson.
Come on, let's hear it
for Miss Kat Carson.
Police theorize
the two men were spotted
by the manager's secretary
when she left the office,
and that they strangled her
to keep her from identifying them.
The woman's body was
found in the trunk
of the manager's Mercedes.
The warehouse owner has
offered a $5,000 reward
for conviction of the killers.
Police are urging anyone
who may have information
about the two men to call
the secret witness hotline
at 555- 6791.
The identity of all callers
will of course
be kept confidential.

And now more information
on the two models found slain
during a photo session
for a local magazine.
Despite the apparent
similarities in the method
used by paroled serial killer
Johnathan Klick,
police say the prime
suspects in the five murders
remain the two gunman
sought in the recent murder
and robbery at the
Safe Storage Warehouse
on Industrial Road.
Authorities showed
Klick's photograph
to the warehouse manager,
but he said the paroled
murderer was not
one of the two men who
accosted him.
While police have been unable
to locate Klick for questioning,
it is believed he stayed
in the Las Vegas area
following his release on parole.
Meanwhile, grief stricken
photographer, George Morgan,
added $2,000 to the
Secret Witness Program.
The reward for capture of
the Slayers now total $7,000.
Update on the latest in a
series of brutal strangulations
that has terrorized Las Vegas.
Gun shop owners report
record sales of handguns,
and Metro Police have initiated
a series of training sessions
especially designed for women
seeking ways to protect themselves.
Police have withheld identification
of the sixth victim pending
notification of her family.
But WQXQ has learned
that she worked for a
photographic model agency
that advertised in a
local giveaway magazine.
