Joseph Naso, convicted in Marin County 12 years ago, now claims he killed 26 women. A new documentary reports that an inmate at San Quentin befriended Naso over a decade and obtained confessions and details about additional crimes. Journalist Dan Noyes is the only reporter to have interviewed Naso shortly after his 2013 death sentence. Investigators recovered a "list of 10" from Naso's Reno home that identified six confirmed victims and named four others by location. Naso admitted to photographing women posed as deceased, and officials hope to identify further victims from these leads.
Joe Naso: "Looks are deceiving, that comes with direction, when I ask somebody, I say, 'Hey, I'd like to take a picture of you looking deceased or unconscious, this is what you do, you lay back-'" Dan Noyes: "Why do that, though, I want to understand, why is that appealing?" Naso: "I don't do that every day, I do that very little and that's a sensual thing, I've seen that, that's been going on-" Noyes: "A dead woman is sensual?" Naso: "No, no, no."
Just days after a jury sentenced him to death in 2013, Dan Noyes interviewed Joe Naso about the evidence against him. The father of two, a little league coach, and school photographer also took pictures of women who appeared to be dead - including some of his six confirmed victims.
He wrote, "girl near Healdsburg Mendocino Co.," "girl on Mt. Tam," "girl from Miami near down Peninsula," "girl from Berkeley."
