Early on, Hausner posed alternate theories for killings

Soon after his arrest, Dale Hausner was placed in a police interview room for a lengthy interrogation with Phoenix police Det. Clark Schwartzkopf. Early in the interview — a videotape of which is being played today — Hausner says he has been following the Serial Shooter case extensively. “I’ve been following everything that’s in the newspapers,” Hausner told the detective. “I cut them out and save everything.”

Then, he begins to offer some possible theories about the shootings. “The Baseline Rapist could also be doing the shootings,” he said, referring to man who was raping and killing women throughout the Valley in 2006 at the same time as Serial Shooters. “The guy’s sick…It could easily be him,” Hausner said. “Or it’s gang related.”

Throughout the grainy black and white video being shown in court, Hausner maintains that he has no personal knowledge of the shootings. When asked if his roommate, Samuel Dieteman, could be behind the shootings, he repeatedly replies, “I don’t know.”

The video of the interview is expected to play for hours today, so stay tuned for more updates.
