BEND, Ore. — Urge to Kill is a KGW podcast following the rape and murder of Kaylee Sawyer. After celebrating a bachelorette party in downtown Bend, Oregon in July of 2016, Kaylee disappeared in the middle of the night. The horrific details of her brutal rape and killing shook the residents of the quiet town in the Pacific Northwest. Her murderer would go on to terrorize several other families in a multi-state crime spree. He said he had the “urge to kill.” Our team sat down with all of his victims who were lucky to get out alive.
Urge To Kill launches Nov. 5.
Camron Reimhofer, Kaylee's longtime boyfriend, got into a fight with her during the early morning hours of Sunday, July 24, 2016. Kaylee went on a walk to cool off, but disappeared. Her phone had died. By that morning, Camron still hasn't heard from her and decided to call 911 to report her missing.

Dispatcher: How can I help you?
Camron: Hi. I'm not sure if this is quite the right number to call. Last night I got home from the bars, my girlfriend and she got upset at me and ran off and I chased her and wasn't able to find her. And I still haven't heard from her. Her phone's off. I called all our family and they haven't heard from her. So I'm wondering what you recommend I do.
Dispatcher: We've put in a call and we can have officers or deputies look for her. Where was she last seen?
Camron: College Way, Alpine Meadows Apartment Complex. It's like the top of College Way.
Dispatcher: In a specific apartment or in the parking lot?
Camron: Just in the parking lot. Yes, we live there together.
Dispatcher: Okay. What's the address?

Dispatcher: And her other friends haven't heard from either?
Camron: Correct.
Dispatcher: Okay. So did she just take off walking or something from this address? Like she was mad?
Camron: Yeah. Well she was, yeah, she was mad at me, so I walked inside and told her to come meet me and then when she's like, 'Calm down,' and then I went back out in 10 minutes and she was gone and I called her a few times and she said she was walking down the street and then I guess she said her phone was about to die and then I couldn't get a hold of her after that. Haven't heard from her since.
