A videotape has been playing for hours of Dale Hausner’s lengthy interrogation by Phoenix police detective Clark Schwartzkopf, which took place shortly after he and his roommate were arrested in August 2006 on suspicion of the Serial Shooter killing spree.
Just before the lunch break today, Hausner turned to the gallery, where this reporter was sitting, grinned and gave a thumbs up.
This action came after some pretty bizarre footage of Hausner talking about his fascination with infamous American serial killers, as well offering up alternate theories about who was behind the killings. Hausner said nothing when he flashed the thumbs up, only nodded up and down. A short time later, a deputy led him calmly out of the courtroom into a holding cell.
It’s not clear why Hausner made this motion of approval. Prosecutors have accused him of being a narcissist. So it’s possible he just likes the attention.
Submitted photo. Dale Hausner, the Serial Shooter suspect, is shown here in this undated photo, wearing a tuxedo and flashing a thumbs up.
