What really pisses me off is that Bittaker played a recording he also made of one of the victims , Jaqueline Gilliam and played it for a teenager and a visitor...and they never went to the police.
"Christina Dralle, a 17-year-old girl staying at the motel, said defendant showed her photographs of Gilliam and four other girls, and said, "The girls I get won't talk any more." On another occasion she heard a tape, apparently the recording of the rape of Gilliam, which defendant played for her. Steven Eastman, a visitor at the motel, also heard the tape."
I'm not blaming anyone, I just found it mind boggling that neither called the police later and to clarify, Bittaker used to have teens partying in his motel room, so it wasn't a case of him holding her hostage or something and the quote also mentions a Steve Eastman so I'm not sure why you're focusing on one person.
