On December 6, 2009, after spending hours admitting the murders of Randi Saldana and Heather Catterton (along with three other women), Danny Hembree took detectives on a guided tour of his mother’s house, explaining where and how he murdered Randi and Heather.

Standing outside his mother’s house talking to Michel Sumner, Danny Hembree admitted to a vicious rape and attempted murder—and then told Detective Matt Hensley where to find several “trophies” he kept from Randi Saldana’s murder.

To prove that he killed Randi Saldana, Danny Hembree hid these “trophies” (necklaces and bracelets belonging to Randi) inside the glove compartment of his vehicle.

Seventeen-year-old Heather Catterton was murdered because her killer believed he “was doing her a favor.” Heather’s father, Nick, says there’s not a day that goes by when he does not shed a tear for his little girl.
