He Survived a Deadly Crime Spree Orchestrated by His Domineering Mother — Decades Later, He’s Finally Revealing the Dark Secrets Behind Their Terrifying Rampage

When he was younger, he and his controlling mother went on a killing spree. Irene Silverman didn’t trust the tall young man who was renting an apartment in her New York City limestone townhouse. Now he’s coming out.

The 6-foot-1 renter had dark hair and green eyes and didn’t say much. He covered his face with his hand every time he walked into the foyer or up the marble steps. He would sometimes sneak in an older woman who stayed the night and was just as sneaky.

Silverman had every reason to be careful. A mother and son named Sante and Kenneth Kimes were on the run after a string of scams and violence from Los Angeles to the Bahamas.

Since the cops were after them, they used a fake name to get into the apartment of the 82-year-old socialite.

They lived there for a few weeks until Silverman did something strange and was never seen again. Since July 5, 1998, no one has seen or heard from her. This set off a series of events that showed the Kimes had a bad past of killing people, lying, and setting fires.

Ken Kimes gave CNN a rare interview this week in which he talked about the time he spent as his mother’s partner in crime. He went through a rough patch that put him in jail without the chance of release.

Now that he was 49 years old, Kimes was open about the violent and unstable past of his family and the bad choices that made him a notorious killer.

He also thought of his wealthy father, who loved him and tried to give him a normal childhood while his mother was in federal jail for many crimes, such as not paying maids who worked in three states’ worth of fancy homes.

She slowly drew her good son into her web of crime after she got out of jail.

He told CNN from jail outside of San Diego, “If I could only have an hour with my younger self, I would tell you, buddy, you need to file for parental leave.”

“You should leave.” You’ll have to do everything by yourself, which will be hard. Figure out how to make money. After you’re grown up and no longer live with your parents, you should still help them out.

When they were arrested, a long list of crimes was made public.

Ken and Sante Kimes moved into Silverman’s big home on New York City’s Upper East Side. They were 64 and 23 years old at the time.

The old but lively Silverman used to be a Radio City dancer. After her banker husband died, she lived alone. Her close friends always checked on her, even though she didn’t have any children.

Police Detective Thomas Ryan, who used to work for the New York City Police Department, said that Silverman had rented out some of the rooms in her home. He said, “Not so much to make money as to have company.”

She didn’t know that her renter and his strange older friend were wanted for questioning in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Nassau, Bahamas, in the summer of 1998. They were accused of theft, arson, and murder.

She didn't know that her renter and his strange older friend were wanted for questioning in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Nassau, Bahamas, in the summer of 1998. They were accused of theft, arson, and murder. Police say she didn't know that they were moving in with one goal in mind: to steal her money and things. She had lost faith in Kimes, though, and had planned to kick him out before she vanished. His mother and son were also reported missing on the same day Silverman was. They were arrested in New York City that night on a different warrant for writing a bad check to the car dealer who sold them a green Lincoln Town Car. Police searched the car and found guns, wigs, a drug used for rape on dates, their plans in a notebook, and Silverman's personal items, like her keys and a fake deed to her condo. As they looked into it further, they learned that Kenneth Kimes had made up the name "Manny Guerrin" when he rented the room to Silverman. They also learned that Sante Kimes had been convicted of many crimes. She went to jail in the mid-1980s for letting women from Central America work as maids for free in her mansions in Las Vegas, Hawaii, and San Diego. The cops also said that the two were wanted in more than one state. People in Nevada thought they started fires and lied on insurance claims. It was thought that they killed an investor with a gunshot to the back of the head and hid his body in a dumpster near California's Los Angeles International Airport. In 1996, they were last seen having dinner with a banker in Nassau. He was thought to have disappeared in the Bahamas. From her first marriage, Sante Kimes has a son named Kent Walker. He told CNN that his mother was a dangerous thief because she was both nice and mean. "Every man in the room could feel like their mother was the most important person in the world," he said. The Kimes, on the other hand, said they had nothing to do with Silverman going missing. In 2000, Sante Kimes talked to CNN's Larry King and said that their arrest was part of a witch hunt and that they were arrested for someone else. "There's no crime." "There is no body," she said through tears. "This country used to make me believe in it." "This country has lost my faith in me." He claims he admitted so that his mother would not be put to death. A jury in New York found the Kimes guilty of killing Silverman in May 2000 and sentenced them to 120 years to life in jail. Ken Kimes finally told the shocking truth after four years. He said that he killed the Los Angeles businessman and put the blame on his mother during her trial. This was part of a deal that kept them both from going to death row. "I want to be clear: I didn't tell my mom because I wanted to." "I told the truth because I was afraid of getting killed or her," Kimes told CNN. He also said that they had killed Silverman and that the main reason he moved in with her was so he and his mother could scam her out of her house. Silverman is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. According to the police, Kimes tackled him in her bedroom while his mom turned on the TV to block out the noise. He said she told him to do it. After that, he choked Silverman, put her body in the car, and left it at a northern New Jersey building site. Her body has never been found. In 2004, when he admitted to the crime in Los Angeles, Kimes said that the last time he saw his mother was in court. The old prisoner slouched in a wheelchair. People sometimes thought she was star Elizabeth Taylor because of how flashy she was, and she smelled like gardenias, which was her second husband's favorite flower. "She began to cry when I told her," he said. She died in a New York state jail in 2014. He talks about a rough youth full of lies and doubt. Kimes said he didn't think his life was normal even when he was a kid. He thought the family would take a motor home on trips across the country. He did not learn for a long time that the FBI was looking for his parents because they stole their maids and made them work for them. He said that when he was about 10, he saw the FBI arrest his parents at their home in San Diego. He said that event made him think that the cops were against him and wanted to hurt his family. He said, "It changed my view in a huge, bad way." Even though some of the charges against Kenneth Kimes Sr. were not very serious, Sante Kimes was sent to jail in 1985. The younger Kimes said that his life with his dad while she was in jail was pretty normal. That was the most safe time in my young life for me. "My dad was a good, nice, and hardworking general contractor," he told CNN. "I admired my dad and didn't want my mom to come back." I didn't want to talk to my mom. But five years after getting out of jail, Sante Kimes' father died of an aneurism. His mother hid the fact that he had died as normal while she made fake checks, took money out of his bank accounts, and tried to take them over. Ken Kimes was a student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, at the time. He told CNN that his mom kept the death of his dad from him for three months. When he or other people called Kenneth Sr., Sante Kimes would say that he was out of the country, in the shower, or sick with laryngitis, he said. "I lost it completely." "It felt like the floor had dropped," he said after hearing that his dad had died. It also sealed his fate. Because his dominating mother made him feel lost and hurt, he started to do bad things with her. He said it made him feel bad that his mother told him she was thinking about committing suicide after his father died. He quit college to go on a trip with her to find his dad's money. "That was my mom." He said, "She knew how to get people to do things." He still feels confused about his mother after all these years. Ken Kimes is locked up at the state jail near San Diego called the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility. Killers like Suge Knight, Lyle Menendez, and Erik Menendez are also being held there. Heck, he still talks badly about his mother even though she died ten years ago. A lot of people would say the same thing I would: "She ruined my life." And that's kind of true. He said, "But I love my mom." "She had a lot of issues, and she liked breaking the law." But I'd never hate my mom. Kimes said he has changed how he feels about his years of crime after giving them some thought. He began writing to a California author in 2015 and called her the love of his life. They became engaged in 2017. After three years, she died of pneumonia, but he still loves her very much and says she made him a better person. "With her, I knew true, selfless love." He said that some of that came from his parents' drinking, but there was also abuse, disorder, and drinking. "She taught me that life is beautiful." I was whole. I was whole again. I wanted to do better after that. Since then, Kimes has become religious, and he says he believes he will see her again in heaven. These days, he thinks a lot about getting better and going to school. When he was a kid, he thinks about what might have happened if someone had stepped in and caught him. "Maybe I wouldn't have been a famous killer," he said. Things like crime and my whole life show what can happen when you don't do anything about it. A lot of kids are like me—they're going to get into trouble. He said he could understand why the families of the people he killed would hate him. He also has a word for them: "I'm sorry I hurt anyone." "I know it won't help,"

Police say she didn’t know that they were moving in with one goal in mind: to steal her money and things. She had lost faith in Kimes, though, and had planned to kick him out before she vanished.

His mother and son were also reported missing on the same day Silverman was. They were arrested in New York City that night on a different warrant for writing a bad check to the car dealer who sold them a green Lincoln Town Car.

When he was younger, he and his controlling mother went on a killing spree. Irene Silverman didn't trust the tall young man who was renting an apartment in her New York City limestone townhouse. Now he's coming out. The 6-foot-1 renter had dark hair and green eyes and didn't say much. He covered his face with his hand every time he walked into the foyer or up the marble steps. He would sometimes sneak in an older woman who stayed the night and was just as sneaky. Silverman had every reason to be careful. A mother and son named Sante and Kenneth Kimes were on the run after a string of scams and violence from Los Angeles to the Bahamas. Since the cops were after them, they used a fake name to get into the apartment of the 82-year-old socialite.

You'll have to do everything by yourself, which will be hard. Figure out how to make money. After you're grown up and no longer live with your parents, you should still help them out. When they were arrested, a long list of crimes was made public. Ken and Sante Kimes moved into Silverman's big home on New York City's Upper East Side. They were 64 and 23 years old at the time. The old but lively Silverman used to be a Radio City dancer. After her banker husband died, she lived alone. Her close friends always checked on her, even though she didn't have any children. Police Detective Thomas Ryan, who used to work for the New York City Police Department, said that Silverman had rented out some of the rooms in her home.

She didn't know that her renter and his strange older friend were wanted for questioning in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Nassau, Bahamas, in the summer of 1998. They were accused of theft, arson, and murder. Police say she didn't know that they were moving in with one goal in mind: to steal her money and things. She had lost faith in Kimes, though, and had planned to kick him out before she vanished. His mother and son were also reported missing on the same day Silverman was. They were arrested in New York City that night on a different warrant for writing a bad check to the car dealer who sold them a green Lincoln Town Car. Police searched the car and found guns, wigs, a drug used for rape on dates, their plans in a notebook, and Silverman's personal items, like her keys and a fake deed to her condo. As they looked into it further, they learned that Kenneth Kimes had made up the name "Manny Guerrin" when he rented the room to Silverman. They also learned that Sante Kimes had been convicted of many crimes. She went to jail in the mid-1980s for letting women from Central America work as maids for free in her mansions in Las Vegas, Hawaii, and San Diego. The cops also said that the two were wanted in more than one state. People in Nevada thought they started fires and lied on insurance claims. It was thought that they killed an investor with a gunshot to the back of the head and hid his body in a dumpster near California's Los Angeles International Airport. In 1996, they were last seen having dinner with a banker in Nassau. He was thought to have disappeared in the Bahamas. From her first marriage, Sante Kimes has a son named Kent Walker. He told CNN that his mother was a dangerous thief because she was both nice and mean. "Every man in the room could feel like their mother was the most important person in the world," he said.

A jury in New York found the Kimes guilty of killing Silverman in May 2000 and sentenced them to 120 years to life in jail. Ken Kimes finally told the shocking truth after four years. He said that he killed the Los Angeles businessman and put the blame on his mother during her trial. This was part of a deal that kept them both from going to death row. "I want to be clear: I didn't tell my mom because I wanted to." "I told the truth because I was afraid of getting killed or her," Kimes told CNN. He also said that they had killed Silverman and that the main reason he moved in with her was so he and his mother could scam her out of her house. Silverman is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. According to the police, Kimes tackled him in her bedroom while his mom turned on the TV to block out the noise. He said she told him to do it. After that, he choked Silverman, put her body in the car, and left it at a northern New Jersey building site. Her body has never been found. In 2004, when he admitted to the crime in Los Angeles, Kimes said that the last time he saw his mother was in court. The old prisoner slouched in a wheelchair. People sometimes thought she was star Elizabeth Taylor because of how flashy she was, and she smelled like gardenias, which was her second husband's favorite flower. "She began to cry when I told her," he said. She died in a New York state jail in 2014. He talks about a rough youth full of lies and doubt. Kimes said he didn't think his life was normal even when he was a kid. He thought the family would take a motor home on trips across the country. He did not learn for a long time that the FBI was looking for his parents because they stole their maids and made them work for them. He said that when he was about 10, he saw the FBI arrest his parents at their home in San Diego. He said that event made him think that the cops were against him and wanted to hurt his family. He said, "It changed my view in a huge, bad way." Even though some of the charges against Kenneth Kimes Sr. were not very serious, Sante Kimes was sent to jail in 1985. The younger Kimes said that his life with his dad while she was in jail was pretty normal. That was the most safe time in my young life for me. "My dad was a good, nice, and hardworking general contractor," he told CNN. "I admired my dad and didn't want my mom to come back." I didn't want to talk to my mom. But five years after getting out of jail, Sante Kimes' father died of an aneurism. His mother hid the fact that he had died as normal while she made fake checks, took money out of his bank accounts, and tried to take them over. Ken Kimes was a student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, at the time. He told CNN that his mom kept the death of his dad from him for three months. When he or other people called Kenneth Sr., Sante Kimes would say that he was out of the country, in the shower, or sick with laryngitis, he said. "I lost it completely." "It felt like the floor had dropped," he said after hearing that his dad had died. It also sealed his fate. Because his dominating mother made him feel lost and hurt, he started to do bad things with her. He said it made him feel bad that his mother told him she was thinking about committing suicide after his father died. He quit college to go on a trip with her to find his dad's money. "That was my mom." He said, "She knew how to get people to do things." He still feels confused about his mother after all these years. Ken Kimes is locked up at the state jail near San Diego called the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility. Killers like Suge Knight, Lyle Menendez, and Erik Menendez are also being held there. Heck, he still talks badly about his mother even though she died ten years ago. A lot of people would say the same thing I would: "She ruined my life." And that's kind of true. He said, "But I love my mom." "She had a lot of issues, and she liked breaking the law." But I'd never hate my mom. Kimes said he has changed how he feels about his years of crime after giving them some thought. He began writing to a California author in 2015 and called her the love of his life. They became engaged in 2017. After three years, she died of pneumonia, but he still loves her very much and says she made him a better person. "With her, I knew true, selfless love." He said that some of that came from his parents' drinking, but there was also abuse, disorder, and drinking. "She taught me that life is beautiful." I was whole. I was whole again. I wanted to do better after that. Since then, Kimes has become religious, and he says he believes he will see her again in heaven. These days, he thinks a lot about getting better and going to school. When he was a kid, he thinks about what might have happened if someone had stepped in and caught him. "Maybe I wouldn't have been a famous killer," he said. Things like crime and my whole life show what can happen when you don't do anything about it. A lot of kids are like me—they're going to get into trouble. He said he could understand why the families of the people he killed would hate him. He also has a word for them: "I'm sorry I hurt anyone." "I know it won't help,"

When he was younger, he and his controlling mother went on a killing spree. Irene Silverman didn't trust the tall young man who was renting an apartment in her New York City limestone townhouse. Now he's coming out. The 6-foot-1 renter had dark hair and green eyes and didn't say much. He covered his face with his hand every time he walked into the foyer or up the marble steps. He would sometimes sneak in an older woman who stayed the night and was just as sneaky. Silverman had every reason to be careful. A mother and son named Sante and Kenneth Kimes were on the run after a string of scams and violence from Los Angeles to the Bahamas. Since the cops were after them, they used a fake name to get into the apartment of the 82-year-old socialite. They lived there for a few weeks until Silverman did something strange and was never seen again. Since July 5, 1998, no one has seen or heard from her. This set off a series of events that showed the Kimes had a bad past of killing people, lying, and setting fires. Ken Kimes gave CNN a rare interview this week in which he talked about the time he spent as his mother's partner in crime. He went through a rough patch that put him in jail without the chance of release. Now that he was 49 years old, Kimes was open about the violent and unstable past of his family and the bad choices that made him a notorious killer. He also thought of his wealthy father, who loved him and tried to give him a normal childhood while his mother was in federal jail for many crimes, such as not paying maids who worked in three states' worth of fancy homes. She slowly drew her good son into her web of crime after she got out of jail. He told CNN from jail outside of San Diego, "If I could only have an hour with my younger self, I would tell you, buddy, you need to file for parental leave." "You should leave." You'll have to do everything by yourself, which will be hard. Figure out how to make money. After you're grown up and no longer live with your parents, you should still help them out. When they were arrested, a long list of crimes was made public. Ken and Sante Kimes moved into Silverman's big home on New York City's Upper East Side. They were 64 and 23 years old at the time. The old but lively Silverman used to be a Radio City dancer. After her banker husband died, she lived alone. Her close friends always checked on her, even though she didn't have any children. Police Detective Thomas Ryan, who used to work for the New York City Police Department, said that Silverman had rented out some of the rooms in her home. He said, "Not so much to make money as to have company." She didn't know that her renter and his strange older friend were wanted for questioning in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Nassau, Bahamas, in the summer of 1998. They were accused of theft, arson, and murder. Police say she didn't know that they were moving in with one goal in mind: to steal her money and things. She had lost faith in Kimes, though, and had planned to kick him out before she vanished. His mother and son were also reported missing on the same day Silverman was. They were arrested in New York City that night on a different warrant for writing a bad check to the car dealer who sold them a green Lincoln Town Car. Police searched the car and found guns, wigs, a drug used for rape on dates, their plans in a notebook, and Silverman's personal items, like her keys and a fake deed to her condo. As they looked into it further, they learned that Kenneth Kimes had made up the name "Manny Guerrin" when he rented the room to Silverman. They also learned that Sante Kimes had been convicted of many crimes. She went to jail in the mid-1980s for letting women from Central America work as maids for free in her mansions in Las Vegas, Hawaii, and San Diego. The cops also said that the two were wanted in more than one state. People in Nevada thought they started fires and lied on insurance claims. It was thought that they killed an investor with a gunshot to the back of the head and hid his body in a dumpster near California's Los Angeles International Airport. In 1996, they were last seen having dinner with a banker in Nassau. He was thought to have disappeared in the Bahamas. From her first marriage, Sante Kimes has a son named Kent Walker. He told CNN that his mother was a dangerous thief because she was both nice and mean. "Every man in the room could feel like their mother was the most important person in the world," he said. The Kimes, on the other hand, said they had nothing to do with Silverman going missing. In 2000, Sante Kimes talked to CNN's Larry King and said that their arrest was part of a witch hunt and that they were arrested for someone else. "There's no crime."
