Serial Killers A-z
Riebe walks out on the journalist when he accuses him of killing the women By Published: 18:17 GMT, 16 November 2017 Updated: 10:52 GMT, 26 December 2017. Piers Morgan risked the wrath of a convicted killer by taunting him about the dozen women he claimed to have murdered before later recanting his confessions. Mark Riebe, 56, is currently serving life in a prison for the 1988 murder of pregnant mother Donna Callahan - but just one year into his sentence he began to share gruesome details of multiple other unsolved murders. He later claimed he had been tricked by the US government into the confessions and adamantly maintains his innocence. But Piers, who interviews him for ITV's Serial Killer documentary, blasts the convict for not letting his victims' families get the justice they deserve by hiding the truth.
He boldly tells Riebe that he thinks he did kill the 12 women and urges him to 'be a man' and answer his questions. Riebe responds by tearing off his microphone and storming out of the interview, telling Piers: 'Well you're wrong. This is over. I answered your questions.'
Piers continues to taunt him as he walks away: 'Why are you running away? Why don't you sit here like man and answer these questions? 'I know I'm not a 110lb woman you can kill. You did kill them didn't you? You killed them all.' Pregnant mother Donna Callahan was kidnapped from the place she worked and murdered by Riebe and Wells Riebe explained to Piers in the interview that he had reason to believe while he was in prison that his son was in danger, and so made 'a deal' with Haley so he could protect him. He insists that he was fed information on the multiple murders and said he would confess to the murders even if it meant sending him to death row.
But when Riebe claims that Haley failed to follow through with his end of the deal, he decided to recant. Haley, who has dedicated his life to finding the killer of the women and to getting Riebe to confess, told Piers that Riebe was able to recall specific details 'only a killer would know'.
Riebe, who had been married four times, told Piers that he had the utmost respect for women and that he doesn't consider himself a violent person. 'I am not going to put my hands on a lady physically. I don’t believe in that.' The convicted murderer (left), who police believe is as evil as serial killer Ted Bundy, sat down with journalist Piers Morgan (right) as part of ITV's documentary Serial Killers A dubious Piers questioned Riebe's tale: 'What doesn’t stack up to me, in that position is if you admit to all those murders to special agent Haley, why would he feel the need to invent all this detail that you told him?' Riebe snapped back: 'He wanted to make his career, he wanted the limelight.
He told me what I had to do.' Piers angers Riebe further by declaring: 'See Mark, I don't believe you. I think you are a serial killer. 'I think you did kill these women.
I think these families of these women need justice.' Mark Riebe was convicted of killing Donna Callahan and is currently serving a life sentence in a Florida prison Mark Riebe, 56, is serving a life term in Florida's Blackwater River Prison for the murder of pregnant mother Donna Callahan. Police believe Riebe is one of the most prolific serial killers despite recanting his confession that he had killed 12 women. Riebe's half-brother Alex Wells confessed to the police of the murder of Ms Callahan, who had vanished from a convenience store in Gulf Breeze, Florida in 1988. He admitted to the killing and led police to where her body was buried and implicated Riebe in the murder saying he had strangled the woman in the back of the car after they had kidnapped her together.
A police tape of Alex’s confession, revealed they had taken Donna in their car and were driving along when Mark climbed over into the back seat. He painted the picture of that evening: 'I heard her saying 'no don’t do this to me' at first. I don’t know how to describe the sound, it was like a sounded like to me that he had cut her throat or something. 'I don’t know, it just sounded like a real fleshy sound.
And when I hear that and I turned around she had foam in her mouth. It took him a while before she quit.' Riebe had strangled her as she begged for the life of her unborn baby before burying her in a shallow grave close by, so that he could visit it whenever he wanted. Donna’s body was discovered 350 yards from Riebe's childhood home where he lived with his mother and siblings in northern Florida. Over a period of four years Riebe told detectives gruesome details of how he killed 12 other women of women aged 15-35. He admitted to abducting and murdering mother-of-two Pamela Ray, 36, calling her father and telling him of his crime before later saying he had no recollection.
Riebe also made claims about Bonnie Gayle Ryther, 27, in 1978, and Jacqueline Brant, 18, in 1986. However, he later recanted his confessions, claiming that he had been tricked by an agent working on his case.
