Capital punishment takes way too long in the United States.

A convicted serial killer who is on death row after being convicted of killing four women has now admitted to killing 26 women.

Serial killer Joseph Naso, who was sentenced to death in 2013, has admitted to killing 26 women in a new documentary.

ABC 7 News had these details to share on Naso’s dark confessions:

It turns out that a serial killer convicted in Marin County 12 years ago may be one of the nation’s most prolific. Joseph Naso now claims he killed 26 women, according to a new documentary coming out next month. The I-Team’s Dan Noyes will appear in that program as the only journalist ever to interview Naso. These new details are coming from another inmate who befriended Naso at San Quentin and, over the course of 10 years got him to spill information about his crimes. A word of caution — some of this is disturbing, as you might expect.

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.

Noyes asked Naso about a piece of paper investigators recovered from his Reno home – the “list of 10.” During trial, investigators identified six of his victims from that list, and I grilled Naso about the other four. He wrote, “girl near Healdsburg Mendocino Co.,” “girl on Mt. Tam,” “girl from Miami near down Peninsula,” “girl from Berkeley.”

Noyes: “Who are those women?”
Naso: “You tell me.”
Noyes: “I don’t know, you know. You’re still playing games.”
Naso: “Ask the prosecution, ask the judge, I don’t know.”

We hoped to bring closure to the families of those unidentified victims, but Naso continued to profess his innocence, even when Noyes visited him on San Quentin’s death row three years later.

Noyes: “How many people did you kill, Joe, do you think?”
Naso: “How many did you?”
Noyes: “I killed none. That’s easy for me to say, I killed none. How about you?”
Noyes: “None.”

But Naso finally opened up about the “list of 10” to an inmate he met at San Quentin, Bill Noguera.

“When I told him, ‘Well, look, they got you because a list of 10,’ he started laughing,” Noguera told the I-Team. “He said, ‘They got it all wrong. Yeah, I killed them women, yes. But those aren’t my top — Those aren’t my list of 10. Those are my top 10.’ And that’s when he went on to tell me that he actually had killed 26 women.”

That Naso killed 26 women may be supported by something found in the search of Naso’s home. Noguera said, “They found a coin collection with 26 gold heads. Those represent his trophies, they represent the 26 women that he murdered.”

Fox News reports more details on Naso’s dark confessions:

One of California’s most notorious killers is back in the spotlight as a new documentary revisits his crimes and uncovers even darker secrets.

Joseph Naso, the former photographer convicted in 2013 of killing four women, is now claiming he actually killed 26 women. The bombshell confession comes from a fellow death row inmate, William Noguera, who spent more than a decade building trust with Naso inside California’s infamous San Quentin State Prison.

The chilling revelations are featured in a new Oxygen documentary, “Death Row Confidential: Secrets of a Serial Killer,” premiering Sept. 13.

“He’s guilty of more than anyone knows,” Noguera says during a preview of the new series. “He told me everything, and I wrote all of it down.”

Naso’s double life stunned the country. He was a father of two, Little League coach, and school photographer by day – and a sadistic killer by night. Investigators found photographs of what appeared to be dead women among his belongings, along with what investigators dubbed a “hit list,” containing ten cryptic descriptions of female victims.

Even after a jury handed down a death sentence, Naso continued to maintain his innocence in interviews, including an exclusive interview with KGO.

Noguera, who is also on death row for a 1983 murder, was assigned to assist elderly prisoners as part of a prison disability program, which is where he connected with Naso. Over 10 years, the two developed what was described by several media outlets as an “unusual” relationship.

Noguera told the outlet that Naso eventually opened up, and offered the stunning admission.

“When I told him, ‘Well, look, they got you because a list of 10,’ he started laughing,” Noguera recalled. “He said, ‘They got it all wrong. Yeah, I killed them women, yes. But those aren’t my top – those aren’t my list of 10. Those are my top 10.”

Noguera disclosed even more disturbing details, noting that Naso’s claims of killing 26 women may be supported by something reportedly found in the search of Naso’s home. Noguera told the outlet, “They found a coin collection with 26 gold heads. Those represent his trophies, they represent the 26 women that he murdered.”
