I hate gift giving and receiving receiving gifts is so weird. What do you say? Thank you
This is coffee convos with Kale Lowry and Lindsay Chrisley. I really want you to be in your feels Kale
That does not interest me whatsoever
I feel very attacked by you a spirited discussion about motherhood friendship family and life in the public eye
I'm just not with the fakery anymore. There's a fakery bakery around here. Here's Kale and Lindsay. That was a good voice. Oh, thanks
I'm a little horse. Um, I actually think I'm allergic to the cats, but I'm keeping them anyway
But I'm a little horse. So I have to clear my throat a little bit, but
Welcome to coffee convos
Thanks for having me. Um
As if you're not
50% owner
My god, wait, so an allergy to these cats
I think because I never really had allergies my whole life and now all of a sudden I'm blowing my nose constantly and I have like a
Frog in my throat
But they're so cute and fluffy that I just I'm not gonna get rid of them. So oh my gosh
I think that you definitely have a cat allergy. You should definitely get rid of them
and then you won't have to argue about
litter spills and
Nasty cat shits. Yeah, I actually looked up cat shits and you're not wrong like they're foul say that it's so foul
It's so foul. I don't know why what it is about cats specifically
Like obviously all waste stinks and it's disgusting, but there's just something about cat waste. That is so foul
God, isn't it like skinny too? I
Don't know because they bury it. I have no idea. I don't scoop it
I just literally start over like every time I change a litter box. I just start over. I don't
Scoop it. I'm not looking at you know what I mean
Like cuz I put a liner in there and then I just it's like a trash bag. So I just
Take it out and start over but I will not
Wait, but like I feel like maybe I'm making this up, but I imagine in my mind that cats
Shit and when they do it looks like snakes. I would imagine so I would cuz they're little, you know, yeah, right?
Like their buttholes are like not
big enough
And now that we have discussed that anything else that's going on that you need to update me on
Anything else? I mean, I'm podcasting from home because this was my only like thing today
That I really need to do I would have to run a couple errands, but I do not want to I didn't want to go to the office and
So I'm podcasting from home if you hear my crotch goblins. They're the little ones are here. Isaac is camping and
I and Lincoln's at basketball camp. So
Do you feel like you will ever?
Regret calling them crotch goblins or like this is a committed to
Term of endearment. I think just think it's like our personality like my kids literally talk shit to me
And it's like that's like our thing. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, so
Like we love that Kristen calls her mama hoe. She'll like I'm like Kristen mom texted me and she'll be like what that hoe say
So like that's how me and my kids are like what did my son say to me yesterday?
Lincoln always says some slick shit to me and so does luck. So like it's just like our personality
I don't actually mean their crotch goblins. I love them to death. I cried my eyes out last night trying to rock Creed to sleep
Because I was like, I love you so much. Like I'm sorry
It's been a little bit rough, you know between just like the bomb getting bonded together
And then also the depression and everything taking over. I'm like, I just I love you so much like I want you to know that, you know
So like it's all in love. I mean, I would never call them crotch goblins. Just
You know what I mean? Would you call them that to their face? Oh, absolutely
Okay, well my dad growing up. He used to be like what my band of liars and like we just knew that that was like his kids, you know
Yeah, yeah, I love that well
I used to say like little shit and Joe got really mad at me and was like you stop calling them little shit
It's like that's not okay. You know, it's like but they're like it's a term of endearment. It's I love them
They're my little shit. It's I birthed them. You know what I mean? Yes, they literally came out of my crotch
And it was burning on fire when they did they were just gobbling it around like
Literally wait, so before we get into this murder
I
want to tell you I had therapy this morning and
Wednesdays are like my favorite mornings because my house is super quiet. I have it to myself
I'm able to sit on my couch in peace and
just drink on a lawny and go through the therapeutic journey with my therapist and
Have great conversations, but I was talking about
being 32 now and
being in a relationship
What that looks like and why that's so different than getting in a relationship when you're 19 years old
right and
You the saying is true about getting set in your ways like once they're set in their ways like there's no change in them and
There are certain things that I'm like, okay
Am I ever going to be able to bend on these things and she was like will give me some examples and
I said, well, you know, there's like specific ways that I like things done like I'm a big no shoes in the house
I think we've talked about this on coffee combos before and
And the research that I've done behind why you don't wear shoes in the house
and like how many germs come in and the amount of fecal matter that are on the bottom of shoes and
That kind of thing and like the way I fold my towels and the way I do my laundry and
that kind of stuff and
It was interesting because she was like well, tell me about your childhood and I was like, okay
So I tell her and like about my parents home and you know, how we were raised to do things and how clean it was and
How my parents literally had a plaque on
their door on the outside
It was like a custom plaque and it was like please remove your shoes as if you were walking into like this business
But it was like a way that they didn't have to tell people to remove their shoes, but like do it right right and so
My therapist was like I just need to know all of the aspects of your childhood because you can
When I talk about having OCD, but it's like non-diagnosed
She said that that's not necessarily the case that you can be conditioned through your childhood experiences and
That is not OCD. So like the things that I do
Could be perceived as OCD tendencies
But I was conditioned to be that way and the things that I do are because I
Valued those things and kept those things and the things that I didn't value I changed and I'd be interested to know like the things that
you took with you from your childhood or
Things that like you intentionally changed because you didn't value them. I just don't I
Don't remember having any type of like
Maybe if I give it some thought and I'll get back to you next week
But I don't think that I had any like my mom didn't really the only real value that I tell my therapist about that
My mom really instilled in me and it was more a
Survival thing was my mom made me she always said take care of somebody else's house better than you would take care of your own
And when I told my therapist that she said that that was survival because my mom would leave me places for days and weeks at a
Time like it just and like my friends parents knew like once I was there. I was gonna probably be there for probably a week
Or more and so it was more like I don't want to be a burden
So let me do everything that I can do clean up after myself clean up after my friends like whatever
I have to do at their house so that they don't
Send me home and I don't have any
Anybody there does that make sense? Yes, but like other than that. I don't like my mom like we didn't have family dinners
We didn't have my mom didn't make us take shoes off in the house that I can remember
Like I just don't have I can't remember any values like I really can't like my parents would say things like if we left a door open
They'd be like where you raise in a barn and you would be like expected to give an answer
And it's like obviously not and it's like okay
Well, then why you're keeping the doors open and like right there were a lot of things that we were
taught to do like you eat at a table
because a table is for eating and
you sleep in a bed because a bed is for sleeping and
You lounge on the couch because the couch is for lounging. Okay, and I just wonder like now that you have
so many crotch goblins like
Do you have specific things that you think that they will be like oh my mom did that like growing up?
Oh, yeah, I mean, I think I'm over the top sometimes with them like as much as it's like fun and like we talk shit to each other
I also have like very strict like
hygiene things
We did start taking off our shoes in that in the new house
They have chores they have to do there's no option and I always tell them like since they were literally born
Do what you have to do so you can do what you want to do and I will never stop instilling that do you hear my kids in the background?
I don't know what they're fighting about that's locks
and
the commitment thing like if you're committing to something I mean obviously and I'm now I'm
Conflicted on that because I'm like okay, but in real life you can quit anything at any time
So like what am I doing? Am I teaching my kids good thing or bad thing? I don't fucking know I
Don't make my kids eat everything on their plate because I feel like that teaches them, you know a bad relationship with food
There's just there's so much that I on both ends like but I don't make my kids do and then I do make my kids do
I think that we should do homework and that you should make a list of like the things that you make your kids do that
You didn't have to do growing up and I'm gonna do the same thing and then we can compare them next week. Okay. I'm down

So let's talk about
this
true crime
Okay, so
The true crime that I picked was the Los Feliz
Murder mansion. It's a murder suicide
When I first heard the story last year and I sent Kristen
The link to the podcast that I listened to and it literally says that I I listened to it like last March or May or something like that
I don't know why this case stuck with me
But I was like I really want to do like a deep dive into this like on my own
I was just so interested in this case
What I did not know I think you were interested about it. Why?
Because you get so invested in
The homes that this kind of stuff takes place and that's exactly what happened. Yeah, I think that's why no, that's literally what happened Lindsey
I
Didn't I listened to the podcast I watched videos
There is a documentary that I didn't have access to because sometimes my internet is spotty, so I didn't get to watch the documentary
But I will send all of the links that I used to Kristen
so I
Didn't expect to go to find out all this stuff about the actual house itself
and people living there and so
Don't get me wrong the podcast episode I listened to last year was phenomenal and it was morbid podcasts. You guys know
Ash and Elena. I love them
but
Upon further research, I found so much with the house itself that I just I can't even I mean
I have notes and notes and notes and let me just tell you when I was trying to write all these notes my my kids
Scribbled in my notebook, so I start writing the notes like it on page like three
I go to turn the page and then there's like 16
Unusable pages because they scribble scrabble didn't and I'm like so I had to put like bookmarks to get to the clear the
Queen's sheets
Anyhow, okay, so where do we start? Okay?
So we have Dr. Harold perlson and his wife Lillian
They are they buy a house in Los Feliz, which is an LA. It's a Spanish style a Spanish style mansion
about 5,000 square feet and
And Dr. Harold perlson is a cardiologist. He's around five seven according to his World War II card and
Described by people as pretty mild mannered and a family man
they have three children together they have Judy Debbie and Joel and
Just kind of live like an everyday
Like a normal life like a live in the American dream, I guess you could say at this time
so
On the morning of December 6th, 1959 around 4 30 a.m.
Dr. Harold perlson
took a ball peen hammer to his wife's head while she was sleeping and
Just starts whacking her with it and the coroner later revealed that unfortunately she passed away due to choking on her own blood
Hmm
After this
Dr.
Perlson goes through the master bathroom, which is connected to their oldest daughter Judy's room
But Judy's not asleep. She's awake and she sees
Her father coming at her with the hammer and as he is bringing it down on her head
She turns her head just enough that it literally saves her life
She's still bleeding. He did hit her and fractured her skull
But she's able to get up and run so she runs through the same way that her dad came into the room
Which is through a master bathroom down the stairs and the layout of this house is super inconvenient
They have 51 stairs out front and it wasn't until a former homeowner
The last homeowners before the perlson's put in a driveway the house was built in 1920
And it didn't have a driveway all the way up and so it had 51 stairs up the front
So she so Judy is running for her life
and goes to a neighbor and is trying to get help during this time
Joel and Debbie the younger siblings wake up and come out of their rooms
And this is when their father Harold perlson says go to sleep. This is a nightmare go back to bed
And I did write a note on here
that um, I
Always wanted to know like how they prove what was said
Because at the time of this occurring Debbie was 11 and Joel was 13
So did they say what their father said or like how do they know?
You know like what I'm wondering if these facts are just based off of their account
like of what
Transpired that's the only thing that would make sense and the only way that they would be able to know that
Right because I was just like what is going on like how do you know what someone said?
So the neighbors actually hear they hear Judy screaming. That's how loud she was and trying to get help and so
the name there's a neighbor that comes to the front door and
Kind of lets himself in and goes up the stairs where he finds
Dr. Harold perlson and he says
Leave me alone like
He has there's an actual quote go home. Don't bother me is what he says to the neighbor
So at this point the neighbor goes back outside to wait for the police while Harold stays inside with his wife's body
From here, Dr. Perlson takes
Nemba tall and codeine pills. I guess Nemba tall from what I'm looking up is like a heavy sedative
Sedative
I've never heard of it. I don't know what it's used for probably like anesthesia. I don't know
And he's in the bathroom and he uses a sink water and basically just like
Downs the the pills so by the time the police arrive at 5 a.m.
Dr. Harold perlson if he's dead on the floor next to his bed
So next to the bed there was it was it was noted that there was a book on the nightstand called the divine comedy by Dante
And there was not really much more information than that, which is so weird
All of their furniture was left in the house
and
Never touched or removed and the blood stains in the home were not really thoroughly cleaned up like there was still like spots of it and
I don't know if they just didn't replace the flooring there or what
But when they took a bigger look at, you know, their lives
It turned out that Harold was struggling financially and he was not super thrilled with his career in his life
Because back and even though he was a cardiologist in 1938 he filed a patent for
a drug injecting machine that he had invented and about 10 years later he in 1949
The partner was supposed to help with the sales of his invention
But instead the partner ended up taking the invention and running with it as well as
Dr. Perlson's investment
into the machine and so that kind of left him, you know with
Nothing and when Harold sued for damages the lawyers ultimately won
I don't think Harold got much of it. He didn't recoup his investment or anything like that and
In 1956 that's when the family moves into the Los Feliz house
I knew I had that somewhere and like I said, it's a 5,000 square foot house
It does have four four bedrooms three bathrooms the bedrooms are huge and then on the third floor was a ballroom with a full bar
Not really sure
I don't really know. I never really understand like what people are
Doing when they build their houses like I just feel like that's so like no driveway 51 stairs up the front
I don't know. It just feels weird and I did find it a little bit weird that they bought the house in 1956 after all of these financial troubles
Maybe he felt optimistic optimistic. Maybe he started to get back on track financially
I don't really know and I couldn't find too much information on that
So the way that the house
Sits just from what I've seen
It looks like it sits kind of like up on a hill
Yeah, and so I'm just wondering if the amount of stairs was because of
The way that it had to be constructed for it to sit that way
So I'll later on when I get into like the other thing crazy things about the house
It wasn't until just the owners before
The perilsons
They put in a driveway that because the driveway didn't they had a driveway
But it didn't go all the way up to the back of the house
It only went up partial to what part of the way and then that's when you climb the 51 stairs
But at some point they did put in a driveway that went all the way to the back
So I don't know why they didn't just do that to begin with
Well, I don't know if it's because I know what happened at this house that I have a skewed
sense, but
When I look at the pictures of this house, I'm completely freaked out by it
Yeah
Very freaked out and then when you like why would your daughter?
Why would your oldest daughter's room be connected to your master bathroom?
Well, so they didn't build the house somebody else built the house and I never I didn't understand that either like what was the purpose like
The whole purpose of you know a master bedroom or the owner's suite would be to have like a separate
Bathroom and bedroom from everybody else, but I thought yeah, and the bedrooms were humongous. I thought maybe
the original owners
At first I was like, oh, maybe there was a nursery
But the original owners actually didn't like the people who built the house. They didn't actually have any biological children. Oh
Wow
Yeah, okay, so it's just very weird like the whole yeah, this is weird start to finish is weird
So
Shortly after the move exactly just about one year later
Dr. Perilson is paying for attorney's fees again
But this time for his daughter Judy who got into a car accident with Joel and Debbie in the car
And so fortunately, you know, the kids were they were okay
they had some minor injuries and
Dr. Perilson did try to sue the other driver for causing the accident. He wanted 50,000
But the only thing that he got was medical injuries covered medical
finance medical bills covered
so two years later the family is struggling to recoup the losses and
They're really struggling to get on track financially
By 1959 so again, they moved into the house in 1956 by 1959 that's only three years
Harold feels completely defeated and has already attempted suicide twice leading up to the murder suicide
Wow
So when dr. Perilson is hospitalized both times for the suicide attempts his family is told that
He's actually being treated for heart problems
Which I thought was interesting who told the family that the doctors. Oh
Weird, yeah, I think that that would be like
Something that they should alert them on
Considering the fact that it would be like a risk of reoccurrence since it already happened twice
That's what I thought and I thought like when you're married you're what your spouse has like
access to
Medical records, but I guess I could be wrong. Chris. Is this true or false? Tell us
You have to be named like you have to fill out like a HIPAA release that okay
Whoever's allowed to have access to your medical information when you're married. Correct. Just because you're married doesn't mean they can have access to your medical records
Got it. Okay. Thanks mom. Welcome
Allegedly his wife was gonna have him committed after the holidays
So I don't know if I couldn't find anything on whether he knew this or not and something leads me to believe that maybe he did know
That and that's why he came up with this plan
Okay, so after the murder
Suicide, it's it's alleged that Debbie and Judy went to live with family on the east coast
and
supposedly Judy had changed her name several times because she never wanted to have you know, the stigma attached to her name or
Be recognized or have any type of notoriety
That I didn't find any confirmation on that
It is also alleged that Joel went to Israel
And really none of them none of the three of them were ever heard from again
This is weird
Yeah, like this is like sinister like weird shit just like so weird because I just I mean I couldn't find anything
About anything else after that like what you know that the Judy
Yeah, Judy was old enough to almost like inherit the house like was there other family that stepped in like I don't nobody ever came
To the Los Feliz murder mansion. So that's it was just weird
So the house just sits there
All of the belongings stay in there all the children's belongings stay in there like nobody does anything with this house
and like I said the blood stains they were somewhat cleaned by you know
authorities and you know, I guess CSI comes and they clean it up a little bit but
there was still blood stains and
It's just very eerie like such an eerie thing to like
No family members came forward to collect their things at all
That's so weird, but like
also, I wonder if they just didn't have relationships with
Family feel like they wouldn't have felt comfortable to do that
I don't know like if this happened whether I had a relationship with someone or not
I would be like let me come get their shit
Well, so it was found that Judy had written a letter to her aunt and it was found I think in her car
Basically just updating her on on like the status of the family now
I guess it was never sent because I don't know why it was still in the car
And it basically said like my family is having troubles again, you know, same problems different day alluding to the financial issues
And so there there was some type of relationship with the aunt now
It didn't specify if it was the mom sister or the dad sister
So again, I'm not really sure and I only could assume that this is maybe the family the relatives that
Both Judy and Debbie went to stay with I'm not sure
But the creepiest part to me is that the entire house just sat there and all of the belongings were left inside
Like that just feels so when my grandparents died the first thing that my uncle and my aunt did
Was to go start they went up to the house like
Get things out of it. They invited me up there to help. I you know, just things like that. We just took what we wanted
I think they ended up selling or yard sailing whatever was left
I don't know what was in my grandparents will but maybe there was also no will so there was nothing they could do I
Mean, I'm just saying based off of the fact that like I hate funerals and like never know what to do or to say to someone when someone
Passes away, right? I
Also feel like I would be the type of person that would take a while
to go and
Retrieve someone's things that was like my loved ones things from their home. Like I probably would let it sit there for a while
Mm-hmm. So I don't know. Maybe there was some of this going on or maybe there was like not a
Like comfortable relationship that they would feel comfortable in going into this house or maybe just like so spooked out by what
Happened that like they didn't want to be in there. Um, I did want to say though something that I don't know
Why this freaked me out so bad, but like the light switch cover that had Judy's name on it. Oh, I'll get to that
I
Gonna get to that. Why am I so freaked out by it?
I'm so freaked out by everything leading up to that because that actually was the last one of the last things that I found in my research
Okay, so
The house eventually goes up for
It stood still pretty much from the time that the crimes occurred to
1960 when it sold in a probate auction and this is the house plus all the things that were sold
That all the things that were in it were sold to Emily and Julian and Rik is
But they never moved into it. And so for they owned it but for 56 years the house
It's just sits vacant vacant and essentially just crumbles
Wow
But that doesn't stop like the curious neighbors and thrill seekers and things like that who want to go see like what this house is all
about
And so they go look to see
Allegedly, there was still presents that were unopened because this is right before Christmas
And they could see even like their canned goods that were still there
in the house weird pretty much like a
Time capsule kind of of that night that everything occurred
Just like literally completely preserved. It's so weird
We're also saying that this is so weird
But every other true crime case that we've talked about we've been so pissed off that everybody touched everything and now we're like
Okay, this is so weird. This is so
So over the years
the Enrique's
Emily and Julian they they did have a biological son named Rudy and they pretty much
Both the couple and their son used the house as storage
So they left the entire house and all of the perilsons belongings there
But then they also stacked their own things in it for like a storage unit, which I thought was really weird
Yeah, and it was borderline like hoarder status
So when his parents died
Rudy also did not move in
None of them ever removed any of their of the perilsons things not the furniture or even the children's personal belongings
And like I said, nobody cleaned up all of the blood or replaced anything from that night
So I misspoke earlier I said the house was built in 1920 it was actually built in 1925
by the Schumacher's and the Schumacher's were husband and wife
Like I said, they had no biological children
But they did adopt a niece that they had but she could not inherit the house when they passed away
Because she got pregnant and married the man
Basically behind their backs and so she was basically kicked out of the will
Now the Schumacher's in this house that they built they both passed away in the same month
So they only lived in the house for three years, and then they both died in
July of 20 of 1928 at this point all of the furniture
That they had was left in the home. So that sounds super familiar
Everything was left there. Nobody did anything with it their niece that they had adopted did nothing with it, but a
Mr. Schumacher's brother did try to sell it
Nobody wanted this house. Nobody. He lived he listed the home with 15 different agents and
Look at this house though. Like oh, I know it's it's weird when I saw your pictures of like the rooms
How big the rooms were they could have been divided into two rooms each?
Do you know what I mean? And then the master bathroom connecting to one of the kids rooms
Like it just felt very it just was for 5,000 square feet. I mean my house is 5,000 square feet and I have six bedrooms
Yeah, like you know what I mean like you weird very strange
It just felt and I wrote that down
I wrote the layout was super inconvenient the driveway didn't go all the way up
So you have to walk up 51 steps, but the house
Wouldn't sell so the brother and his family ultimately move in but shortly after
Then now this would be the the builders the Schumacher's brother. So their nephew
Becomes deathly ill
So they decide we'll rent the house out. We can't be here. We're gonna rent the house out now
There's like this omen over the house
the first renter of this house is
Silent filmmaker he rents the house
Him and his wife did not finish their year lease and left in six months
Then it gets rented to what like there's like ghosts or like this is like haunted well
So that's what's really strange about this because one of the families
Said that when they I think it was hold on I wrote it down
I
Believe it was
The brother's son who got deathly ill the doctors literally said that it was the house making him sick
So that's why they left and decided to run it out
So that's the silent filmmaker goes he rents it with his wife
They left in six months. The second renter is a is a film critic and his son Donald Beaton dies in the home
So hell yeah, so that I this is where I was just like mind blown because this case when I listened to it
They didn't talk about any of this. They only talked about the actual murder and suicide
So I didn't know any of this about the actual house, but it always just felt so eerie. It gives me very
Black Dahlia house vibes. Yeah, just don't know what I was thinking of
Yes, and you just don't know what the hell went on in this house. Like yeah, you hear it becomes like almost like legend
But it just feels so weird and eerie
Like truly if the walls could talk
literally so Donald beaten passes away in the home and
The third renters are mr. And mrs. Arliss
now they
were actors and
They were used on the flyer when the house went up for sale and for the auction to basically bring in people to hopefully buy
Or rent the house
But it doesn't really work
and in
1931
Finally the stoffer the stoffer family about the home and all the furnishings all the furnishings left by the shoe mockers
So they eventually added the driveway to the back of the house and they ended up living there for 30 years
So they felt like the curse was broken. Whatever hauntings were going on
we're all lifted and
But as they got older, obviously they lived there for 30 freaking years
They didn't want to keep up with the house. It was a lot of maintenance
And so they decided they were gonna move into a luxury condo and they actually donated this house
They donated it to Whittier college
Which I thought was really interesting because I mean if the house sold which I'll get to in a second
The house later sells for like 2.3 million or something like that
Imagine what that would be worth back in 1931
Like how much that would be, you know what I mean so wait how much was it?
they recently sold it in 1931 it didn't say but in
In 2016 it sold for 2.29 million. Oh
Wow, so I wonder what it would have been worth back in, you know, 1931
So they donate the house to Whittier college and the house again sits vacant for two years
That's when the college finally sells it to the perilsons in 1956
lawyer Lisa bloom
eventually buys the house in 2016
At a probate auction and again 2.29 million and they wanted their their plans for the house was to update and renovate
But Los Angeles the county of Los Angeles or the town of Los Angeles said that they had to make
Significant changes to the actual ground so kind of how you mentioned it sits like sort of on a hill
They can't it's a structural thing and a ground thing
So essentially they would have to tear down the entire structure and build something new
That's what I was gonna say just because the way that it's sitting it looks like it was intentionally
Built based off of the only permit that was probably given for this lot
Yeah, yep, so they never moved in they never ended up doing anything with it once they realized that
And I know just from building my own house and knowing Joe and V and things like watching HGTV that
Building a house to tearing a house down and then building it back up and all of that is far more expensive than it would be
essentially worth
so it goes back on the market in
2019 and then it sold to an LLC in 2020 and
It's just assumed that at this point it will be
Torn down and then something new will be in its place
I mean we're only in 2022 and then COVID was a thing so I definitely think that there could be real plans to
Remove the entire structure and start over but there's just so much going on in this like
History of a house that I would it almost feels eerie to like take it down and build something back up in a spot
Yeah, that is really weird. I'm like the ground is literally
Terrible at this point like it's ruined
Y'all have known my struggle with sleep and I think part of it was not having super great sheets
But I'm bringing to you great news because bowl and branch uses the best 100% organic cotton threads on earth

They're not just buttery soft breathable, and I'm just like super super soft

I even put them on my room and the guest room bed because I was like I want my guests
I feel like this when they sleep here these sheets will feel like a five-star hotel and they're super breathable like I said

That's bowl and branch B. O. L. L. A. N. D. Branch comm for 20% off site-wide
so that's the story of the
Los Feliz murder mansion and
It's nearly every single family who lived there had someone died in that house
It's creepy as fuck and I want to know where all of the children of the perilsons when I want to know where they are
We can't find any information about them. No, they were never heard of again ever or spoke to again and
then oh and then the the so I don't remember which
Which selling it might have been either the 2016 one or the 2021 but a realtor goes into the house and
There is a light switch cover that has Judy's name on it. It's a customized light switch cover and
Stasi Stasi Schmoyer is her name is her name Stasi Schmoyer from Vanderbump
Let me look it up. It's a she's a reality star. Hold on. Yeah, I think she's like on Vanderbump. Okay, so
Is that right Kristen? Is it Schmoyer? Is it Schroeder Schroeder? Thank you. Yeah, I misspoke
I can't read over the scribbles when I say I'll take pictures of my notebooks. You guys can see what I mean
She was fascinated by this house and wanted the light switch cover
So the realtor had a screwdriver and a replacement
Cover for the light switch and she actually took the Judy cover off and gave it to Stasi
Wow, when you zoom into the picture and I I have a picture of the
The light switch cover which I can we can post
It does in fact look like there is blood on the light switch. I
Have been looking at the picture now and like
Right below where you turn the light off on the left hand side. It looks like there's blood there and like possibly a
tracing of like fingerprints or something like on the right hand side of blood and
This cover but I'm always freaked out when I see when I go into someone's home and I see like personalized stuff like this
I don't know why it freaks me out so bad
But like it does and when I saw this one, I was like, holy shit
That's just sinister. It's probably not even but like
I'm freaked out by it. I also want to know
Why that realtor went into
The home and took this like is that not theft? I
Don't know because I think if it was up for a probate. Yeah, probably I think any way you look at it is probably theft
But to be fair
No, there's no to be fair. It's just it's the whole thing is weird
Like why if that if that is in fact blood, which it does look like blood to me how nobody cleaned that up and
The house was just not like
Doesn't the state usually get involved? Like don't they auction shit off because I feel like when my great-grandmother passed away
I don't think she had a will maybe she did maybe she didn't I don't know but I remember like
Something with the house I vaguely remember like I think the state took over the house or something
you know what also is thinking to you is that if
This house was in probate I'm wondering if
It was maybe
taped off for a period of time of like a crime scene
mm-hmm and
Then like nobody was able to access it and then by the point that they would have been maybe everything was in probate
So nothing could be touched. Can we just let me go through how many people died in this home? Hold on a second
All right, so the shoe-mockers there's two of them
Obviously the peril since so that's four
the brother's son I think
lived but then
The son of the second renter
That's five
So five people five people passed away in this home
That's a lot of time. That's a lot of people in a very short period of time and a lot of people in different
Situations, so it wasn't just like five people from one family like right
That's weird and I also wanted to ask
If he was going to kill
Judy, but then he told the younger two to like go back into their rooms
Like they were having a nightmare or whatever. I have two theories on this
first I thought maybe he was going after Judy because he was resentful about
Having to pay the attorney's fees and then losing the lawsuit with the accident so maybe resentful towards her
And so that's why he didn't go after the younger ones
My other theory was he was going to go after them if he ended up killing Judy
Okay, but they woke up to Judy screaming actually everyone did even the neighbors heard her screaming
So that's why the neighbor came out and she went to go get help. I
Um, I I don't know like I don't know if he wasn't going to go after the younger two
Or if he was like go back to bed like he's coming for you next
I mean not that I'm going to be in a situation to where I'm going to be murdering anybody, but I'm just like
How do you hand pick like
Who's going to get it and how do you pick who goes first?
I don't know. I've always wondered that that's like Chris Watts. Like how did you decide which daughter were you were going to kill first and why like?
I mean obviously we're never going to get answers for this because none of us and I hope no one's listening is a murderer, but like
I have always wondered that when it's like multiple people in our murder suicide or
Uh
multiple murder situation
How they are
Is this like a planned out premeditated?
Like I'm doing this first then this then this or is it like sporadic like whatever is easiest
It doesn't seem to me
Like this was super thought out like I definitely think maybe a little bit, but I don't think that he super duper planned it because
It was said that Judy was not a like she was not a heavy sleeper and the wife was
So he had to have known that the kids would have woken up at some point
Well, my thoughts are
that he might have been in
Like a very very very bad mental place to where he couldn't think
Thoroughly and like really plan out a plan if that makes sense because
He'd also tried to commit suicide two times
Prior to this then it's the holiday then this happens, right? So no, this happens before the holiday before the holiday
so
I just think
There was some kind of
Plan there because he tried to execute multiple times
Yeah, so definitely some type of plan, but not super thought out very well thought out. Yeah
Um, it wasn't until
2020 when the LLC bought it that they finally removed all of the
Enriquezes and perilsons items and furnishings. They finally removed all of it
I would just love to know like why
It was left there for so long
I'm trying to figure out the same thing. It's just a skeleton now just essentially waiting to be knocked down because
After the 56 years that it laid it was vacant. Um, the house basically became
Like you can't fix it like there's no there is no fixing it
so they'll just they just bulldoze it and then
Put something very nice on there and it'll probably be haunted because the ground is ruined
Yep
I'm really weird about stuff like that. Like I don't know if it's in all states, but I think in the state of Georgia
You have to disclose if there's ever been like a death in the home like through the disclosure
I mean, I don't know that I could ever
Buy a house that I knew somebody died in
It I don't know like it freaks me out. Yeah, and I don't know I didn't ask about my first house in Delaware that I
That Javi and I bought but I it's old. I want to say it was built in like
Either 1930s or 1960s. I can't remember which I can't I don't know why both of those numbers stick out to me
But so I'm I'm sure
That someone passed away in it at some point. Um, but I never asked I didn't know so it was fine
um
my first home
My first home with my when we moved it to Pennsylvania the
The
son of the couple that lived there had committed suicide on train tracks right by the house
The wife ended up dying
um
Right before closing
And we found like the weirdest shit shoved in like addicts and stuff and they like literally to this day
I remember they kept their son's
The bloody book bag in the evidence bag that it was like given to them in from when he committed suicide
In the closet downstairs
And it was like just very weird vibes and then my dad passed away in the same house
So I was like good luck to whoever gets it next
That's like so yeah
Oh my god, like I don't know I
I definitely think that there's something to do with like ghosts and like
there's been a couple of occurrences that
um
Or instances that I've heard from other people and like I don't want to say what it is because it would like give the person away
but
Like someone like revisiting and like doing weird shit in their home
and then um
I remember my dad's brother
his wife passed away or it was his ex-wife when she passed away, but
My cousin she would give her a bath and like would set the water and stuff
And she would go in there and the water would like be turned to scalding
but like
The child didn't turn the water or anything like that
And so I do think that there's like weird shit that like goes on
In homes where people have passed away and like there's spirits there
And so I just wonder if there was like some weird shit that was like going on with that in this house
It's almost like the amityville horror
Yeah, right?
I just I wanted to go see it when we were in california um in april, but it was she did
It was a little too far. Of course a drive-by kill wants to do a drive-by on a murder house like shocker
We were too consumed with going to nicole simpson's condo
God
Well, actually this neighbor had a friend that visited um the loce felice murder house that
Wanted to go check it out and she went to go up to the door
To unlock it because the screen I guess like one of the screens was broken and she got bitten by a
Black widow and had to be she didn't make it very far
She didn't get to see anything in the house because she had to go to the hospital. What the hell
See like it's just like weird shit like that and I will say
That's why I should feel justified and always building new construction
No, honestly though, I also agree with that like at this point
Like for example, elisha he like when I say the barns the barn cats the barns
They're actually on his property, but I'm the one that takes care of them. So they're my barn cat
um he has this like
multiple buildings on his property and one of them it literally looks like it could be could have been like an old apartment
And there's like an outhouse and stuff because like I said, this used to be a farm
Like all both of our properties together used to be a farm
So it's his house is an old farmhouse and it has like an outhouse and stuff
And then one of the buildings literally looks like an apartment. I'm like I just want to go up there
in the attic of like because there's like a bathroom in there a room
A garage like it's like an apartment and I want to go in there and see what's in there and see what I can find
And maybe there was some crazy shit that goes on, you know

That's friends without the r best fiends
There probably was some crazy shit that went on which is why I feel like
Me buying new construction is the best case scenario because I think about
Like the people that bought my divorce house. It's like
That was a divorce house
Like you're starting
In a divorce house. So
There's like bad juju there
so we believe in this stuff like
I probably
Should have had it saged like before
They moved in
Oh, yeah, you should have saged it and then they should have saged it
Yeah, maybe they did we're unsure but i'm just like really weird about like other people's memories in a house
Do you feel like this christin like are you fine with this?
No, I definitely was weirded out when we moved into the house that I was in because like random
Stuff would happen that was just like absolutely terrifying and like couldn't be explained
And like you feel like a crazy person by trying to tell anybody about it, especially when I was like really young
um
But like you could just sense the energy like it was just
Like you could it's weird like guys you just can feel
Different energy. So like when we moved into this house, it was not new construction
But it was a flip house and like it just felt
Like neutral does that make sense? Yeah, I'm pretty sure two people died at the house at will ball
I'm pretty sure I've got to I've got to ask him for sure
But I'm like, okay
Well, I don't have to worry about ghosts because if my recess lighting is like falling out of my ceiling
It's probably because it's like a bad clip, right?
Like, right? It's not a ghost like trying to come out from the ceiling
You guys hate me
You said a ghost trying to come out of the ceiling
I'm so freaked out by it, but I have never it's weird because I have never like really been
Afraid in this house, but I will say like
When my papa passed away and going to my nanny's house
He didn't pass away at the house, but like he was taken from the house
Um to the hospital. I still like felt such a weird feeling like going into that house
So I couldn't even imagine like
Buying a murder fucking mansion
Yeah, I don't know how
I don't know how
The perilsons bought this house like it just doesn't as a cardiologist like
you
Wanted to buy a house that's four people
well
Three people died in prior to you laid vacant several times
There's very weird omens and jujus all over the place and there's no driveway
Well, I guess by the time they bought it they did have a driveway, but I just don't understand it
Kale's really caught up on the driveway you guys like I am because I have
Because I have children and like the thought of like children and even just like older people living in this home
That have to go up 51 steps. It does not make sense to me every single day sometimes multiple times a day like what?
I would love to know the architect who or the person who like mapped out this plan for this house
Like I need to know they thought was going to live there because the 51 steps is concerning whether you have children or
elderly
We need to find the kids
That's what we need to do. Yeah, anybody who's listening if it's one of the kids contact coffee humbers podcast
Literally no what literally kids or grandkids like we need to find somebody I need to know I need to know
Kale's not gonna rest until she sees this house in person just so we're all clear
She's like making a special
Specific flight to what is a ball peen hammer like I don't think I've ever seen one
I was gonna ask you that question, but I didn't want to sound stupid like I do on every other episode ball peen hammer
Um, also the daughter Judy when this happened. She was 18 years old. So
Why she didn't have
Any control or maybe she just didn't want the house like maybe at 18. She was like, no, I'm traumatized
Like I don't want anything to do with it. I don't know
Okay, so I looked it up. It says a ball peen
hammer also known as a
Mechanis hammer is a type of peening hammer used in
metalworking it has two heads one flat
And the other called the peen rounded it is distinguished from across peen hammer diagonal peen hammer point peen hammer or chisel peen hammer
By having a hemispherical peen
Why so many peens because when she said that I was just like wait, what what that is
I
It says
And why would they have one of these is my question like who's just like someone do you metalworking?
Yeah, like it says a ball peen hammer was invented by a french metal worker named jack as ball peen
That's unfortunate peen peen means to bend shape or flatten material
It's ball shaped head
Is designed for peening
Like why would they have had this that's the other question that I just don't it looks painful
It says what is the difference between a claw hammer and a ball peen hammer claw hammers are built to drive nails
And the hardness of their steel is designed accordingly brick hammers are designed to split bricks and hit a brick chisel
Ball peen hammers are designed to strike hardened tools such as cold chisels
Yeah, like why the fuck would they have had this?
And like specifically buy this to like
Smash someone in the head with it. I don't know. I mean, I'm sorry. That was a little sinister
I wonder did this family come from israel? Like why did joe go to israel?
We don't know any of these questions
Like I just wish I had more information and I wish that there was
just more
Kale's gonna do the genealogy next of the entire family. I'm like am I related to them because I'm so connected to the house, you know
No, kale. You're not so connect. You're connected to every murder home
Like let's be honest anybody who's listened to any true crime that we have ever covered
You always get so invested in these houses and how you have to do drive-bys on them and weird enough
We've covered a lot of cases that
Have houses in los angeles
Why but why did they leave the house the way it was?
I don't understand why they left the house the way it was in 1979
There must have been some legal reason as why nobody could go in there. That's the only logical
Thing to say
Well, I'm gonna go break in it says that the only change that they have had well now that it's everything has been like
taken out but for the longest time the only
Um, the only change that had been made in 50 years was they installed a security system because people were like trespassing to like get in there
Um, but it's completely gutted now. I guess the um, the investors with the llc
They do plan to like you can see like the headlines stossi schroeder has
bloody
bloody
light cover from
murder house
Actually lorry has been found breaking and entering and has taken the murder weapon called a ball peeing humor
Could you imagine the house is you know what else this house reminds me of?
The one the picture that i'm looking at right now. It reminds me of the menendez brothers home because it's yes
It's the architecture style with the pool and the yeah, it reminds me of
Yes
Yes, that's just the architecture. I think like generally in los angeles like I feel like this is what you would see
You would never see a spanish style house like over here. Could you imagine like kyle like on the land?
With a spanish style home
That's you know on the land
um
The a spanish style home like out in the woods
Like I would love that that would be a dream come true
But again, you would be the type of person that would be covered on a podcast 20 years from now talking about how sinister it was
That you lived out in the middle of nowhere with a spanish style home
And they're going to be like what what what interested you would have spanish
hanging out on the top of the roof home and i'm going to say well
um the menendez brothers the perilsons
um the
Black dahlia they all lived in spanish style homes and so I definitely felt connected in some way that I felt the need to build
One on the east coast and collect artifacts from crime scenes. Yeah, you'd be like, what's the end spell here?
Well, it's a combination
Which murderer do you want first?
You guys are idiot
