The world may mourn the loss of ‘acclaimed TV pioneer’ Merv Griffin, who died Sunday at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in LA after a battle with prostate cancer. Nevertheless he will be remembered in my household as the dreaded Elevator Killer, the notorious Windex-injector who terrorized so many European women, and was never truly brought to justice for his many crimes.

When asked why he did it, he gave the standard famous TV producer-turned-murderer response:

I don’t know. I’ve always just loved to kill. I really enjoyed it. But then I got famous, and - it’s just too hard for me. And so many witnesses. I mean, *everybody* recognized me. I couldn’t even lurk anymore. I’d hear, “Who’s that lurking over there? Isn’t that Merv Griffin?” So I came to Europe to kill. And it’s really worked out very well for me.

His shame knew no bounds, but now the world may finally be able to come to some kind of closure now that he has finally met his maker.
