Stephen Nash, the 33 year old Sacramento hobo killer, refuses to admit further crimes unless paid. He set a price of 50 per sentence and 1000 for confessions while linked to the Santa Monica Pier slaying of Larry Rise and Long Beach hairdresser John Berg.

He previously faced a sexual perversion charge, ruled not a sexual psychopath. Police label him the worst, most cold blooded killer they have handled.
