The Alphabet Killer doesn't disappoint in this respect. I'll admit, the start was pretty poor, I felt it was quite disjointed and it seemed as though a lot of scenes that should have been there to develop the plot were on the cutting-room floor. However, once we get into the middle and latter stages of the film, we definitely see a marked improvement.
I think Eliza Dushku played her role well in this, and I felt the slant of Megan's mental illness playing such a large part in the story made her character more believable, and added interest to the film. Overall, this was a nicely put together film. It had little gore or anything really adult-themed, so if that's what you're after this isn't for you.
If you want a killer movie portrayed more through the eyes of the main detective than is usual, you might like this. Yeah, you'll probably suss it out, but that's half the fun.

Runtime 1 hour 38 minutes. Another clutch was found in the living room. Some of the women appeared to be posing willingly. Others looked knocked out, or worse. Some were bound with cord. One picture showed a man whose face was turned away from the camera appearing to have sex with an unconscious woman. Jackson spotted boxes of bullets near a dresser, which was enough to arrest Naso for breach of probation while he continued the search for what he assumed was a weapon hidden somewhere in the house.
Days later, the police found a small stash of guns behind a fridge in the garage. But by then detectives weren't talking about Naso's probation violations any more. A group of officers had descended to search every corner of Naso's house. One of them picked up the aluminium clipboard on the dining room table.
He leafed through it, increasingly shocked: the entries amounted to a journal of terror. One said: "Girl in north Buffalo woods. She was real pretty. Front seat of my car. Had to knock her out first. She was gorgeous. Great legs in nylons, heels. Had to rape her in my car on a cold wintery night. Snow storm. The diary would come to form a central part of the case against Naso, but there was more.
The search turned up a separate stash of notebooks written years later. If anything, they were even more horrific with graphic descriptions of bondage, torture and murder. Some were apparently accounts of past crimes. Others read more as instruction manuals for the carefully planned and prolonged deaths of individually named women yet to be captured.
Naso's house held another secret. At one end was a room with a bolt on the door that could only be opened from the outside. In the middle of the door was a small flap, of the kind typically found on prison cells so food and other items can be passed through. The window was the only one in the house fitted with metal bars. Two years after Jackson knocked on his door, Joseph Naso is awaiting trial on charges of murdering four women — all prostitutes, all strangled to death.
Those killings are unusual in their own right as they appear to follow the plot of an Agatha Christie novel, The ABC Murders , in which the initial letter of the victims' first and last names were the same.
But the authorities in several US states suspect that's not the half of it. The piles of photographs, notebooks and a string of other evidence discovered in Naso's house point to a serial rapist who attacked women across the United States for more than half a century — and who, in time, graduated to serial murder.
No one dares put a figure on the total number of victims, but Naso is under suspicion for a series of killings from California to New York and Florida as the police believe they have stumbled on a killer who operated so far and wide and over so many years that they didn't know he existed. Naso's habit of diligently recording every attack has given detectives a bewilderingly large source of leads as they attempt to piece together the picture of his suspected crimes.
Added to the diaries and notebooks, the search of his house also turned up driving licences, passports and work identification cards belonging to women — even a birth certificate for someone born in The investigation is being led by detectives in Nevada, where Naso was living when he was arrested, but the evidence is taking them across the country, often led by a fragmentary clue which was little more than a reference to a county, a building or a cemetery.
Sheriff Mike Haley established the Nevada task force investigating Naso. We will pull up every cold case," he said. If Naso has spent more than half a century committing the appalling crimes the authorities now suspect he is responsible for, there is also evidence he could have been stopped early on. More than once women went to the police to accuse him of sexual assault on them or their daughters. Naso was charged with rape at least twice. But each time he walked away because sex crimes were regarded with indifference, at best, by the authorities of the time.
The police on at least one occasion warned Naso to get out of town to avoid arrest. Naso is older now, but no less belligerent. In a preliminary court appearance earlier this year, shackled and wearing a red and white striped prison uniform, he described the pictures of naked women scattered around his house as his "romancing" and accused prosecutors of misunderstanding his use of the word "rape".
Everything was done by consent, Naso insisted. Asked how it was that so many women went along with his requests to strip naked and be bound and photographed, he was boastful. At the time Naso began logging his sex attacks in the "rape diary" in the s, he was living in New York.
He was resident in the city, but later shifted upstate. In the s he moved across the country to California, settling in the San Francisco area. But Naso's work as a commercial photographer regularly took him back to New York state. In the s he moved on to Nevada, where he was finally captured. Faced with the mound of leads, detectives focused on the "List of 10". Some of the place names were tracked to an area north of San Francisco.
Four of the entries appeared to be references to killings that became known as the "Alphabet Murders" or the "Double Initial Killings" from the lates to the earlys. The first victim they know of was prostitute Roxene Roggasch. Her body was found in dumped near Lagunitas, naked with a pair of nylon stockings wrapped tightly around her neck. She appears as the third entry on Naso's list of 10, with the simple reference: "Girl near Loganitas [sic]".
