Catch the full clip … Noguera details the chilling breadcrumb trail — hundreds of handwritten notes that spurred an FBI task force, ultimately tying Naso to more than 20 murders … far beyond the 4 for which he was convicted.
Noguera insists he never dangled the info to shave time off his own sentence or get off death row following his conviction for killing his GF’s mother in the 1980s — claiming he only came forward to give grieving families closure.
