Cops also let him go knowing how suspicious was his behaviors as his family behavior also, two girls could be alive and well now. If you want to be a detective ,please,please,please, do your job really well because you can save lives.
Yes! Why is nobody mentioning this?! He went to the girl's house and waited an hour. Then all of a sudden, his family came over and rushed him out. They knew something! Very odd behavior and I don't know why the girl's family ever let that drop.
@@DR-mq1vn Haven't watched but a few minutes of 2 (I have a comment-section-first disease 🙃)...I was hoping the show circled back and explained why his family did that (although it's pretty obvious)
But a lawyer could help a killer walk free and an innocent person got locked up for life and the lawyer move on to the next case with clear conscious because that's his job!
I think they knew about the first one for sure. Because I think he was gonna tell his best friend her brother that he killed his sister. But then his family showed up and told Gargiolo we have to go now. Then he disappeared.
11 years and 31 for those first unfortunate parents in Chicago, I mean... Also, the defense saying "casual contact" with a woman makes her have DNA on her nails proves you know nothing about women, sir. We do not go scratching the back of our brother's friends around, you know? Disgusting this line of defense, seriously.
He’d have to be the unluckiest person in the history of the world to just happen to live within a block of all these attacks. I mean Come on defense, who do you think you’re fooling with this garbage?!?!
@@andrewnajarian5994 Is they were not payed, I could believe they're doing their job, since he has no possible serious defense other than trying to make accussations on others, but these well paid attorneys should make a better case, not just for their defendant or for the system. Again, those parents deserve a better memory of this trial after decades than "he was a guay with bad luck and it's been accused falsely". That's just disgusting.
Right! Like, the DA thinks that an 18 yo girl didn’t shower or wash her hands for 24hours? Surely that would be enough to remove DNA from “casual contact”? Ridiculous
They actually did a pretty good job, the fact that they managed to long these cases as early as they did is pretty impressive. If his POS family hadn’t covered it up and prevented him from coming forward when he went to the parents to confess these others all would have been spared. His family should be convicted as accessories after the fact and tampering with evidence.
Dear @48hours, This episode wasn't name after the first one, not entirely, it's because of the "on Trial" that I couldn't get inmediately the video after the other, but in order to get as many viewers as possible because the episode truly worths it, please consider this. Many thanks for the amazing work done and chasing the story to the end. Makes me believe someone still cares for others and as a journalist I honestly believe this kind of work is what this job is about. Well done!
Did he ever say why he went to visit the first victim’s father? And was his father and sister ever questioned for pulling him away before he could talk to her father?
@TawnyC_ theres a little button that looks like this ⏩ or this ⏭. It's for fast-forwarding these FREE videos WITHOUT COMMERCIALS thru the parts you don't want to watch. Try using them instead of whining like a spoiled child, hmmm???
I believe the day he waited at the house for Patricia’s dad, for over an hour. he was going to confess. But His family wisked him away and knew what he had done . He could have been stopped then.
48 hours literally helped solve Tricia’s cold case …. AND ARMCHAIR EDITOR IN CHIEF is complaining …. The negativity is nauseating! Call a manager , don’t comment !
I want the father and sister to be somehow charged with something. They knew he was troubled yet did nothing, and it 2 other women their lives and another her piece.
I know the defense lawyers do their job, but come on! This guy is so obviously guilty, stop with the theatric acting... have some dignity. They can't seriously believe he was not involved in all these murders.
It should only be relevant in terms of making this case better known. Also knowing if you were punctual she might be alive must be terrible on anybody, I think.
He’s the least important part of Ashley’s case but they can’t stop bringing him up. And him walking away when he sees “spilled wine” all over the floor with no curiosity of what happened proves he’s an idiot.
Probably because they're advocating for terrible people. However, they're just doing their job, which is integral to our justice system. I'm sure this lawyer knows what's really going on. BUT, some are just bad people themselves.
I totally agree with the other comments about the repetitiveness of part 2. Altough, one thing I heard in this one was that after hearing about Ashley's death, Ashton Kutcher seemed more concerned about his prints, etc. at the scene vs. the concern for a woman he was getting to know. Lovely.
I remember when this case first came to light and I read his comments. That's pretty much when I stopped liking Ashton Kutcher. Then, of course, way down the track, him defending his co-star vs. all the rape allegations... yeah. One of those people I'd definitely pass on getting to know.
The way he stared down, thinking, every time they talked about those poor women feels like he is having flashbacks of what he has done to them. He knew he was guilty in all those cases.
Let me get this straight. He confessed to those two men???…had they just told the police, even if the didn’t believe him..lives would have been spared!
So typical of a trial the last 3 months in California. In Massachusetts this would have been done and over with in one month. We don't put up with nonsense from the defense. And I really don't know how defense attorneys like them live with themselves knowingly lying like that to try to get a murderer free and put back into society. Fortunately they lost
Ya know if they had at least taken him to trial the first time his name and face would’ve been out there. 18 years and many murders later is unacceptable.
It might be impossible to prove someone's crime based on just DNA and nothing else,but if they had atleast tried and failed,it would atleast put him on the radar.
To everyone complaining that this part repeats some of part 1, please have some perspective and consideration for the people close to the victims. To us, this is just entertainment; to them, this is getting justice and having these women honoured and remembered. If empathising is too much for you, then find something else to watch.
@@scribblemyface you do understand that one family has been waiting for justice for 31 years, right? Having to watch 1.5 hours of content isn’t “milking it”, it’s just exposing it.
Sometimes I think these lawyers are so shameless , they are just capable of making any lies . Do they really believe these serial killers are innocent ?
Good job 48 Hours for helping catch this serial killer! At a time when the obvious is so glaring the defense should be charged for deceit, they are criminals.
What an incredible monster. There might be other murders that he committed. But, just looking at these four - 1993, 2001, 2005, 2008 - he was speeding up on committing these horrific murders.
I don't understand why more things weren't said about Michael's father coming to get him when he was about to confess. I fully believe that michael was getting ready to confess and his father knew what he had done and knew what he was fixing to do so he went and got him and ship them off to california. I believe the blood of those other 3 Girls are on michael's daddy's hands.
Praying they receive the long awaited justice in their beautiful daughter, Tricia's case, I'll be following it. As a mother, I can't imagine walking out the door & finding one of my children like Tricia's father did. When he said "I died," that hit deep. For Michelle Murphy at 5' 1" to fight him off is truly incredible. I hope she was able to move past his attack on her & is leading a healthy, happy life which I imagine, has been a work in progress. The mutilation these women endured is horrific! I was shocked when I read the details! Thanks to 48 Hours for breaking this case wide open bringing the witness's forward. May all the beautiful & innocent young women, Tricia Pacaccio, Ashley Ellerin & Maria Bruno rest in peace.🕊
California Governor Gavin Newsom dismantled the death penalty in 2022. Lots of heinous psychopaths got a free pass to life in prison in other facilities. One more reason to avoid CA.
48 hours should think twice about the choice of the voice for the narrator. This one is extremely, extremely irritating. This woman could be an excellent newsperson, but her voice disqualifies her as a voice over. She must be aware of that, as well as the producer.
48 Hours you need to stop making two part series that presents the same information in both episodes. This could have been one episode. 😢
@@caitlincorbin5982 Right? More ads, more money
Also, if they've waited 31 years for it to come to trial, then they could have waited a bit longer and included it in the video.
No this was perfect, too
Much to cram in a 1 hr, wouldn’t be fair to all the victims
what happens in dark comes to light rest in peace girls 🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏 justice is served
@@_nick_dit’s literally the exact same details from the first part. All the victims were covered in part one.
At least we won't have to hear how attractive he is in this episode 😂😂😂😂
Lol
Lmao 😮 omg
😂
Came here to say that
Ikr they need their eyes checked
Dear 48, quit splitting episodes. Almost half of part two is a recap.
His family also are responsible for all the murders for cover him up.
My thoughts exactly. They obviously knew something when he murdered Tricia Pacaccio. They have blood on their hands.
Cops also let him go knowing how suspicious was his behaviors as his family behavior also, two girls could be alive and well now. If you want to be a detective ,please,please,please, do your job really well because you can save lives.

They should absolutely be charged. They were aiding and abetting a known to them killer in staying free to keep killing.
@@DR-mq1vn Haven't watched but a few minutes of 2 (I have a comment-section-first disease 🙃)...I was hoping the show circled back and explained why his family did that (although it's pretty obvious)
Zero respect for the defence lawyers who blamed innocent people for murders they knew that their client had committed.
That’s there whole job, they are breaking the law if they don’t protect their client
I mean, that's literally their job. No matter what they think about the crime, they have to defend them and try to win...
agree with nick. you have to take the good with the bad in our justice system. it's not perfect but you got a better solution?
@@wasatchm
When you've done the crime, prepare to face the time. The best a lawyer should do is to get a fair punishment for their client.
But a lawyer could help a killer walk free and an innocent person got locked up for life and the lawyer move on to the next case with clear conscious because that's his job!
As predicted, just like the Black Swan 2 part episode, this is incredibly repetitive. It could easily have been done in one episode.
agree. it definitely should be one episode.
I thought the same thing!
Exactly!
Amen
Amen
What about Gargiulo's parents??? they must have known!
I think they knew about the first one for sure. Because I think he was gonna tell his best friend her brother that he killed his sister. But then his family showed up and told Gargiolo we have to go now. Then he disappeared.
They knew and they stopped him from coming forward. They make me sick!

Heads up....these 2 part series are really just one oart sereies if you only watch the second part which recaps the entire first part
Both Lawyers used Ashton Kutcher more for the search of PUBLICITY than JUSTICE.
Yeah bc Ashton such an great person himself
Did he ever say why he went to visit the first victim’s father? And was his father and sister ever questioned for pulling him away before he could talk to her father?
At this point, whatever he/they say about that is going to be a lie.
I hope sister and father gets charged with aiding a felony.
probably this family knew Michael's psychopath behavior since he was kid? this family also should be charged for sure.

It's so stupid
It’s free ! Stop crying
It premiered years ago lol it’s too late to be complaining
Got that backwards. Watch Part Two, not Part One.

Exactly. Coincidentally ALL these young women near him end up dying in the same way. 🤔🤔🤔
Great reporting. What a monster. Justice for mom Trisha. Heartbreaking.

That defense attorney is an artist
The way he stared down, thinking, every time they talked about those poor women feels like he is having flashbacks of what he has done to them. He knew he was guilty in all those cases.
There is nothing wrong with 2-part series, but please DO NOT REPEAT THE SAME INFORMATION. Add something new, anything.
Let only watch part 2 of everything coming up. I guess, we won't miss anything
That's what I did after they got me with Black Swan. Only watched Part Two of this one.
This entire episode is practically a recap of part 1 - skip to the end for sentencing :(
thanks for the recap!
Another neighbor hearing screaming and not calling and reprting it 😢
Can he and his family be charged in a Civil Court? They protected him and shipped him off to LA to turn his evil on innocent helpless women.
How does his lawyer sleep at night? My God!😢
He sleeps fine. Psychopaths are not bothered
From now on, I would just skip Part 1s of every 48hrs video. Or maybe skip all parts cause I don’t appreciate redundancy
Let me get this straight. He confessed to those two men???…had they just told the police, even if the didn’t believe him..lives would have been spared!
They had criminal histories themselves and wanted to fly under the radar.
They literally said here that he talked big talk and they didn’t really believe until they saw the first 48 hour episode.
This is really scary. The guy who watched his prey patiently till he struck like a madman. Living so close to his victims.
Let’s see if they’ve learned from the previous,” 2 part episode” and not make part 2 a revision of part 1. Stay tuned.
All these women were so beautiful.
That was his type.
If I wrote a truthful response, I would receive a lot of criticism.
How do defense attorneys sleep at night? What if it were his daughter?
Usually it's done to practice, up and coming lawyers, and those court appointed and public defenders....
Perfect timing, ready for part 2!
Same!
It’s pretty much a recap of part one sadly
Ugh I agree, total waste of time. @@caitlincorbin5982
Just finished part 1 this came on time
Same
This 2 part was done well, not repetitive. Gargiulo is a monster.
ashton kutcher part 2 nice
His parents knew who he was from the first killing.
Four murders and his lawyers still come up theories of how his DNA was at the scenes is absurd . He is guilty.
Everyone deserves a defense, it's a fundamental part of our justice system.
So typical of a trial the last 3 months in California. In Massachusetts this would have been done and over with in one month. We don't put up with nonsense from the defense. And I really don't know how defense attorneys like them live with themselves knowingly lying like that to try to get a murderer free and put back into society. Fortunately they lost
Why is part 2 just repeating part 1???
I think it just recapped it briefly but I thought the same thing for a second
People should be really careful with their doors and windows not locked...it's a real problem in USA. Here in Europe, people pay attention to that
I cant imagine how disgusting it must feel being a lawyer and defending your client even though you know he/she is guilty.
Ya know if they had at least taken him to trial the first time his name and face would’ve been out there. 18 years and many murders later is unacceptable.
You'd think this is about Ashton Kutcher... Yeah, he had to testify, but good grief, give it a rest.
i need to wake up the a new 48 hours documentary every dayyyyyyyyyyyyy
why did he always pick petite Italian women ? some strange hatred of his mother?
It's the SAUCE.
Maybe. He is of Italian origin
Mother?
Oh Jesus I was looking for part two forever
Just like it’s never a mannequin, it’s never spilled wine on the floor. If only Kutcher hadn’t been late.😞
Justice delayed is justice denied no matter how long what a disgrace
It might be impossible to prove someone's crime based on just DNA and nothing else,but if they had atleast tried and failed,it would atleast put him on the radar.

May all the beautiful & innocent young women, Tricia Pacaccio, Ashley Ellerin & Maria Bruno rest in peace.🕊
Halfway through and it's so far nothing but a repeat of part 1 😐 Can't be bothered to watch the rest.
I can't imagine what the investigators went through while solving this. Thoughts?
Great two parter. Glad to see justice for the families
