Starting point is 00:00:00 There's no place to escape to. This is the last time on the left That's when the cannibalism started I was watching this new video on this dude who I guess he tried every drug in the world And he was he was his favorite drug in the world was meth. Oh, okay I said the first time that he smoked meth He came his pants. No way. Yeah, and it just seems like I don't need that in my life I'm already at a hair trigger like I can't imagine just spontaneously just shooting like a little fountain definitely not all methed on your mind welcome to the last podcast of a leftover one
Starting point is 00:00:43 I am Ben Kizzle. That's Marcus Park. Hey, how are you buddy? I'm okay. How are you? I am good and Henry Zabrowski over here laughing too big ass bowl of meth and you're immediately like oh, did I break it? It is definitely a wild a wild situation Well speaking of wild situations. We're on to Jerry Brutus part two He is the shoe fetish slayer and the story just gets more disgusting from here So after murdering Linda Slosson in his basement while his mother kept watch over his son upstairs Jerry Brutus moved his family to Salem, Oregon Quits and deadly just blocks away from the hospital where he was kept as a teenager now This is my question. I do feel like there is like a psychological cycle here where he
Starting point is 00:01:25 He definitely blows up at activity as soon as he gets back to this sort of weird formative time in his life Where he the mental asylum like taught him that he could get away with his crimes really easily. Yeah, what is it with Salem? It's a haunted place, huh? No, that's Salem, Massachusetts. Not all Salem I See Different state different coast Haunted place what is with Salem? I'm just asking the tough questions Jerry may have chosen this house specifically because of the ample space provided in the garage
Starting point is 00:02:02 Which is connected to the house via an outdoor breezeway and after his last success in getting away with murder He knew exactly how to set this garage up. Thank you so much. We're seeing it's a journey. Thank you so much I love it. I love the hardwood floors. I love the pergola But honestly, we're gonna need four bedrooms because I need at least like one bedroom Definitely just empty between me and my doctor because I just can't be anywhere Nothing Do you have like a whole private like garage? Area for my quote-unquote dark room. Should I not use quotes?
Starting point is 00:02:43 Well, Jerry you came to the right show house hunter serial killer edition. I think we've got the home for you Now first Jerry installed a padlock on the garage door Then he set up an intercom system and told his wife that she was only to communicate with him through the intercom Should she need anything from the garage? These are massive warning signs for this woman, right? Yes Quite a few massive warning signs show up in this woman's life over the next few months Well, the reason why he told her to only Communicate with him through the intercom letting him know that she was coming inside was that he told her that he had set up a Darkroom which he kind of sort of had and if she were to come barging in she might ruin any pictures
Starting point is 00:03:28 He might have developing at the time, but also he wasn't like taking pictures in the living room You know, I mean he wasn't taking pictures of flowers and shit. She never saw him taking pictures She never asked any questions about like any of the origins of any of his private behavior It's very strange Darcy's a weird woman I feel like you would have to be taking a a pecker amount of pictures In order to warrant a group a dark room and I don't see how his wife is just like he just he got a dark room If you have a dark room, you're a you're a pervert You're not doing anything that should be seen by the public inside of a dark room. You are harboring secrets in there
Starting point is 00:04:08 It's called a dark room. It's not called a developing room. I guess unless you're a photographer You know, but it's funny that you mentioned a pecker Actually John Waters based a character in polyester off Jerry Brutus the one who loved the shoes. Yep Yep, that's right. I figured it out Marcus. Believe it or not. I got that one Yep, he said specifically based on Jerry Brutus cuz you know John Waters is a gigantic true crime guy He used to go to the Manson trial every single day. He never missed it. I love so cute No, as far as the attic went Jerry scared Darcy away from that by telling her it was full of rats Jerry used this space to store all of the bras panties shoes and what have used that he collected over the years
Starting point is 00:04:47 Marcus what stands for what have you? When you have use in the script, what do you mean by that? What do you think? I mean the what-have-you's Brows panties first thing it comes to my mind is yeah pasties head clamps I'm not really sure what else you'd use what I have what have you would what have you Jerry took it a step further telling Darcy that every time she was out with her friends She needed to call home before she was heading back because even though it was her house, too He always wanted to know when someone was going to quote-unquote pop in on red flags red flags He made a joke out of it after a while because finally she was like why are you so why are you always freaking out about me coming home all
Starting point is 00:05:29 Time he's like yeah, I want you to call so I have time to kick the blonde out. I see like it was a joke But in really in real life He was never gonna kick the blonde out because he was keeping her as a living dead doll I understand so it seems like he is not possessive necessarily of his wife But it's a different kind of emotional and Abuse right well. He doesn't want to possess a living person He wants to possess a dead person who has no complaints whatsoever who has no needs at all All he wants is to possess a body. Well, I'm just saying the dead people have a complaint. They're dead
Starting point is 00:06:08 Well, the real reason why Jerry got the padlock and the intercom and the freezer was because Jerry was finally going to realize the Fantasy that he first had as a teenager. He was going to have his very own above ground pleasure done him and George Clooney Now this was the low rent version of Jerry's dream his most far-flung fantasies involved rounding up women in a big bus Taking them back to a complex dedicated to his own pleasure an entire complex Murdering them and storing the dead bodies in a gigantic deep freeze This is like when I fantasized about sleeping overnight in a liquor store when I was 16 Where it's just like you get to drink everything, but this is much much worse than that He also realized that at this point is that he didn't have the funds that would need to make as big of a complex
Starting point is 00:07:01 So sadly, this is a budget Sex dungeon and if you can make up a sex dungeon on a budget I mean, that's what you take the what's the most bang for your buck We're really budget sex but dungeons are the only ones that ever truly get found. I would Really don't want to think about it quite frankly. Yeah, the expensive sex dungeons never get found. No. Yeah, that's true When we're talking sex dungeon here. I keep on thinking about toy box killer. Yeah, is it like that? It's a little bit like that. Although it's like that, but it can still pass for a garage Like you can walk in and look at the garage and think like this place is kind of weird
Starting point is 00:07:38 But you know, it's still more than likely just a garage. We're in the toy box killer Do you walk in and you know immediately what that room is used for toy box killers was made to be permanent It is definitely for bile where it's definitely where Jerry Bruce is more like for renting So you could also turn into a party room. It's very a la carte. I see. Yeah I mean and also a really good way to hide a sex dungeon is you just put it in the basement of a pizza shop But no one will believe you. Oh my good. If some people will believe you and show up fully armed I'm getting the feeling that it was like a speakeasy where he wouldn't have all the bodies around And then people would come in he would hit a button and all the cigar tables and all the poker tables would just turn into really nice
Starting point is 00:08:17 You know shelves for books Now not surprisingly things started getting real weird around the Brutus house One night Darcy innocently commented that Jerry he gained a little weight a little hurt Jerry got up without a word left the room and returned a short while later dressed in a stuffed bra a girdle stockings and garters and size 13 high heels now when I first read this detail the first thing I thought that he would do is he'd come in and start doing that the Ha ha ha ha
Starting point is 00:08:48 Like that Castilian like like like board stomping dance that women do with the big high heels But in reality, can you imagine this big brooding man just walking into like leaving me like excuse me And then walking out coming back in this is dad by the way, and then he is in full Female regalia, and then he just stares at you for like a beat of Of the most awkward silence in the world, and then it's like and then he leaves I Mean this seems I'm gonna say it kind of fun Kind of fun
Starting point is 00:09:28 He wanted to feel sexy again because his wife called him fat He said I'm going to regain my beauty well actually that is what he said he came back in He's like does this make me look slimmer in the women's clothing. She's like no. She's just kind of always Appointed these episodes where I'm like I can relate to that She just nervously laughed and then there was an awkward silence, and then he left the room Went back, and it was normal clothes came back sat down, and they never talked about it again So they see here that the mess are playing the dodgers this weekend That's a piece of business that interests is everyone in the house. Isn't it? It is a fun game, huh?
Starting point is 00:10:07 So ten months after the murder of Lendis Lawson Jerry Brutus committed another murder of opportunity This time it would be 23 year old college student Jan Susan Whitney who would fall victim to the shoe fetish slayer on November 26 1968 Jan's car broke down along I fire while she was on her way home back to Salem after visiting a friend in Eugene a Couple of good Samaritans walking by stopped to help, but Jerry Brutus driving home from work Decided to intervene. Hey, so this guy here seems like your car is like all fucked up I was thinking of me and my buddy Brian here. We saw you like pulled over and shit. We're like, what if we just like smoke weed I don't know if that's gonna fix the car, but I like the idea of smoking some weed
Starting point is 00:10:50 Yeah, dude fix your attitude man about the car being broken dude Because then you just fucking don't even care that the car doesn't fucking move, dude And then the car becomes like your fucking clubhouse, dude Homeless on the street for seven years. It's more like I'm home more. That's an old Ben kissle joke. That's a classic bit classic kissle Well Jerry told the two guys trying to help that he could take care of the problem easy But of course he needed to go home first to grab his tools to lull Jan into a false sense of security Just inching his way along Brutus took all three in his car at least at first And along the way Brutus dropped the two dudes off saying he could take it from there
Starting point is 00:11:32 He then drove to his house and parked in the driveway saying he had to wait until his wife got home As he'd forgotten his keys and after a bit of small talks Brutus made his way to the backseat Asking Jan if she wanted to play a game. Never good. You never say yes No, jigsaw is always like you want to play a game. No, never play a game Absolutely, not you're gonna end up in a in a vat full of heroin needles anytime a stranger asks if you want to play a game You say no unless you showed up to play a game Specific area you're in the back of a comic book store You are at a baseball field where there is equipment also like you can't just be an empty baseball field
Starting point is 00:12:13 There has to be balls and bats Yep, well Jerry told her to close her eyes and try to describe how to tie a shoelace without using her hands And while she tried Jerry took a leather strip wrapped it around her neck and strangled her from the backseat of the car That's like in those old cars in the early 2000s They would have the automatic like seatbelt thing and then every once while it would like miss fire And then it's like your car is trying to murder you like it's fucking Christine. I Do recall being morbidly obese and that seat belt did attack me a couple of times But I think this is much worse than that situation. Yes. This is much worse
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah, well, this is a morbidly obese man doing the act Having it done to him tables of turn. Oh, well, he must be very winded then I Do think it would be kind of funny if there's a morbidly obese serial killer and they just like name him the windy killer the winded killer Man, just don't make a fat jokes about me Man, I'm the winded killer. He's the James Gandolfini of serial killers Well Derry after strangling her he climbed back forward and raped her and she lay dying in the driveway of his own home After that he carried her body into his garage and dressed it up and clothes and lingerie from his collection Trying different ensembles to satisfy his need for the total possession of another human's body taking photographs all the while
Starting point is 00:13:35 Mm-hmm. He then committed necrophilia on Jan's body and hung her corpse from a hook in his garage He's only a breezeway away from the home. He shared with his wife and two children. It's not just a breezeway We also have a pergola. We have an outside grill. It's you can see it's all made with lovely reclaimed stones I've got a a one-person pool people call it a tub Yeah, but it's it's like a pool. It's an outside pool. Yeah, so there's a lot of things between the My dark room quote-unquote. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to say dark Quote-quote and the rest of that. Yeah, I'm more concerned about the woman on the meat hook right now to be to be honest Yes, yes, yes, you would be yes because I'm a human being
Starting point is 00:14:22 So this is horrible stuff. He is brutal. He is and he gets even worse my goodness for five days Brutus kept Jan's corpse hung in his makeshift dungeon Every day he would race home from work as fast as he could to repeat the act he committed that first night He then just as he had with Linda Slosson took a trophy But this time he would take the term literally in a way. I've never heard a serial killer take it He cut off one of her breasts Filled it with sawdust and mounted it on a board like one would do with a deer head or a prized fish Oh my god, this guy is absolutely
Starting point is 00:15:00 Brutal I didn't quite realize I feel like the shoe fetish part isn't as bad as all the other parts The shoe fetish portion. I don't see how that was the branding The mount there might work and only write about the shoe fetish part in the newspapers Yeah, the rest of it. It's really hard to say the breast trophy maker killer It doesn't sell like you wanted to also in the transcripts of his because we learn all this from his confessions Of course because we're gonna learn later on he's super egotistical and he loves everybody to know Right evil he is and so when he made it and it's him telling the cop about how like he would separate the breast And then it would he's like but the problem is and that the breast always shrinks down to a third of its size
Starting point is 00:15:43 Once you cut it off and so you got to make it bigger with sawdust And then you just have a bunch of cops that are forced to take notes on this and I got to say They are not a pleasant. It's not a pleasant audience It's not like when you're pulled off the strip in Las Vegas to go watch like the remake of everybody loves Raymond and then you Can rate it right for television most people enjoy Raymond. I like that spinoff But the thing was as Jerry wasn't a taxidermist The breast did not turn out quite how he wanted He still kept the damn thing though and Darcy his wife actually found it. What the hell is that like?
Starting point is 00:16:21 What do you mean she found it? Yeah, she just left it lying around he told her that it was just an experiment for a novelty paperweight He left a severed What world is that he left a severed boob lying around the house? This is questions. Yes, never be afraid to ask questions The beauty like in a relationship There's a half of your relationship Hopefully not half your relationship, but have your relationships like two investigative reporters being together
Starting point is 00:16:51 You should not be afraid to ask the hard questions like stuff like why are you making breast trophies? Where do the breast trophies come from and also like? Anything just like but they also like why why are you so mad when we watch prices, right? It also doesn't even it's not even conducive for a paperweight. No, not really. I mean, it's just sawdust Okay, well, here's the thing about it. That's your problem Because technically a foot would be a better paperweight. Yes a pebble a rock anything anyway, okay? Well Take this perspective on Darcy in this day and age most of us would run to the police especially after Jerry's
Starting point is 00:17:34 You know the secrecy the padlock the intercom all that we gotta remember. This is 1968. There were still rules Yeah, but I mean think of it this way though Ted Bundy was still in law school John Wayne Gacy was just managing KFC's and Jeffrey Dahmer was eight years old I love the this is how we put time into context on this show With what Bundy and Gacy and Dahmer are up to I just see it all this is a slide show and hear that song that time after time Did you see all like the the simpler days like glory days is playing over like John Wayne Gacy just making chicken good Lord? All right, this is brutal stuff. Well the phrase serial killer hadn't even been coined yet And besides Darcy she had no job no skills no money and again in 1968
Starting point is 00:18:23 She didn't believe in divorce. She wasn't even a high school graduate. This woman did not know how to survive Without Jerry Brutus. All right So Darcy with no real frame of reference and nowhere to go chose to believe Jerry's novelty paperweight story and Jerry's carelessness Anyway, I'm over it but Actually, no, you're not okay good because it's gonna come back You just lie and you just say it's a pomegranate I Because he kept he kept blaming college students
Starting point is 00:18:55 He kept saying like oh, this is my buddy's college art project that I have over here at the house Well, it's gonna be like what what college students you hanging out with are you as your side life like revenge of the nerds? Realize it where you're like a freshman in college even though you're 40 years old, right? Well Jerry's carelessness and arrogance goes even further than that Brutus actually left Jen Whitney's body hanging from a hook in the garage for an entire weekend as he and his family left town for a little Thanksgiving Expedition geez while they were gone a car veered off the road and crashed into Jerry's garage door It cracked open Wow the police came and checked out the scene But somehow either didn't notice or ignored what had to have been the ripe odor of death emanating from inside that garage
Starting point is 00:19:45 And one of them even took a peek inside with the flashlight But still wasn't able to see a young girl's body Decomposing from the ceiling and again. It's 1968 if they did smell The stench of death. Yeah, I'm sure they just thought it was a dead cat or something What are we inferring in these? Brian come here. Come over here. Smell this with me, huh? Can you smell that? Yeah Rodney come smell this. Come smell this just like Brian told me to do Best leave it alone. Yeah, no questions asked
Starting point is 00:20:22 Definitely a cat. Oh My goodness. I mean this was one of those happy accidents this car plows into the garage It could have saved multiple lives if they would have just investigated well all that well listen to this dude He gets even weirder all the cops did was leave behind a card with a number for Jerry to call when he got home because they Didn't want to impede on his constitutional rights to have a sex dungeon garage with human booms on the wall illegal search and seizure This is not about the Constitution. It always is Kessel Uh-huh. Well Jerry did call the cops as soon as he got home, but not before he took Jan's body out to the water pump shed Wrapped in plastic. Um, honey. Uh, what are you doing? Do you have a body wrapped in plastic? No, honey
Starting point is 00:21:09 No, absolutely not. Of course that this is a dummy because I'm making a Kung-fu movie. Yeah, we were gonna use this thing We're gonna throw it off the roof. It's good like we're throwing a real a guy off the roof and it's gonna be kind of fun and kind of Campy right with those nerds From the community college. It's me. It's booger. I got names a zippy Got him Stanley. We're having a great time one of them plays the guitar Well, I believe it then So there the cops were in the middle of a crime scene without a single idea of what had been happening there over the last few days with
Starting point is 00:21:47 The murder of victims body just a few yards away in the backyard Watershed that was how arrogant Jerry Brutus was he could have just as easily gotten rid of the body like he had the other one And then called the cops, but I think for him. It's a thing a lot of stuff for Jerry Brutus It's like having sex in public half the thrill is almost getting caught or the possibility of getting caught I also think with it with Jerry Brutus He it's kind of like the HH Holmes thing too because you keep building up the stakes It's like it's cuz psychopaths get bored so easily so every single time It's just like how can I like make this the most roundabout way to show just how smart and clever I am more than ever
Starting point is 00:22:27 It's just fucking superiority complexes going through the roof So this guy is treating this woman like the girl in the ring. Yeah, just throwing her into this well The shit I'm getting feelings of like the grim sleeper where didn't people know what was going on in the community Was this one of those kept secrets that everyone's like yeah, Jerry's a little weird Well, there were some people later during one of the trials Some neighbors did testify that they saw some weird shit But eventually they decided that these people were just kind of looking for attention Oregonians are very private and they love murder and we know that for a fact
Starting point is 00:23:04 And they like it when they're for their neighbors murder other people because they hate when new people move into Portland Because they think that they're changing the city for the worst and so they're like kill them get him out of here I know how they work a bold statement about an entire state Yeah, or Ellie Brown knows exactly what I'm talking about the people that we met in Portland They are all psychopaths, but very sweet. Oh, yeah, Oregonians are very there are complex people those people in Oregon I like Oregon Well after the police took a statement and left Jerry brought the body out loaded it in his car and got rid of it in the Same river of Linda Slosson's body had gone into and came back home
Starting point is 00:23:41 And just like Linda Slosson's Jan Whitney's body would never be found. Wow, but remember unlike Linda Slosson Jerry had taken photographs of Linda Photographs that Darcy actually found Jerry's Jerry again had an excuse like Henry said the photos of the dead girl Nah, I'm just developing some photos for a college kid that I know I mean from a college kid they are of a nude woman in high heels It seems like a very strange relationship that you have with this child Yeah, you're just doing all these weird ass of a scared nude woman because it's not like she's like fun and happy about it She looks like a woman that's being held captive. Oh, no, she was dead
Starting point is 00:24:24 There's this one on Jan Whitney. Jan Whitney was dead when they started when he started taking pictures the live Photography would not happen until the next victim But we can we can forgive Darcy for not knowing exactly what a dead body looks like I don't know it's a little hard to believe that she didn't notice the pictures had been taken in the exact room She was currently standing in. Yeah, I I understand she did not commit these crimes, but my goodness Darcy you could have saved some lives here So Jerry's coming out period was like it is with almost all serial killers getting shorter and shorter Well, the first was 10 months the second would be less than half that it's kind of like when you cook a steak
Starting point is 00:25:06 Uh-huh, and then you have to let it sit sit all the juices can get in it Right, that's what serial killers are like because if not you ruin the steak if you let all the juices out for those 10 months Then now five months of juices are getting sealed up in his guts, right? So when you carve them open, he's just mm-hmm multi-family So we have been discussing a sexually depraved serial killer and somehow you managed to make a steak analogy Yes, all right very saying you're saying I'm talented. I'm saying you found a way to get to food. Yes, I'm hungry So Karen Elena sprinkler was back home for spring break on March 27th
Starting point is 00:25:44 1969 her plan that day was to meet her mother for lunch at Myron Frank's department store and then spend a nice afternoon shopping But Karen would never make it out of the parking garage for there She met Jerry Brutus Now Jerry didn't say what he was wearing when he kidnapped Karen But two witnesses from weeks before said that they had seen a gigantic freckled woman Wandering around the parking garage fiddling with her girdle It could have just been a large lady Good that it's been unnecessarily maligned by these people well
Starting point is 00:26:19 This is the question now was Jerry Brutus transgender. No absolutely not at all No, he just he just liked wearing women's clothing because I you know not all Cross-dressers are transgender. So we just like wearing skirts All right, and Jerry Brutus is one of those people where he just kind of liked wearing he just liked wearing women's clothing Yeah, sure easy easy breezy let it flow It kind of became a job for him kind of like how podcasting was a passion of ours But now it's our job where it's like he went from it being like a tootsie We're technically was a job it turned into real life to more of a Mrs. Doubtfire
Starting point is 00:26:52 Yeah, now he's in a Mrs. Doubtfire part where his passion is becoming what he has to do You it's interesting. That's almost sad for him. It's interesting. You mentioned clothing when Performing your profession. You're currently naked again. That is again this job that I am allowed. I see I am allowed to be like that It's funny you mentioned tootsie. I haven't thought about that movie in a long time We watched it as a family when I was like 10 years old and then afterwards my father get went on a long diet tribe about how It's not appropriate to dress like a woman, but then two of his sons are gay look at that. Yeah Yeah, yeah, no upon closer inspection these witnesses that saw the gigantic freckled woman Obviously a man as Jerry Brutus didn't have exactly what you'd call feminine features
Starting point is 00:27:41 Marcus how dare you How dare I say that this pig face serial killer did not have been features. How dare I he was beautiful to himself He does not need to be beautiful to anyone else Well Jerry dressing up and hanging out in the parking garage It shows that Jerry Brutus was at the very least Scouting as he was no longer content with just chance encounters like his two previous murders had been Now his first choice that day had been a cute brunette wearing a mini skirt and heels walking into Meyer and Frank's
Starting point is 00:28:15 But after he parked his car to go look for he couldn't find her anywhere He walked back out to the garage and saw Karen sprinkler getting out of her car She wasn't exactly his type, but he decided she'd have to do Just as she was about to walk into the store Jerry stood in the doorway and pulled a gun on her He told her that if she didn't scream and just came with him He wouldn't hurt her and so she followed him to his car and got in And I actually heard that he got this tip from it's called a how to date like a libertarian was it really look and it was Very very I don't think you know what a libertarian is. I don't know if libertarians know what libertarians are. I
Starting point is 00:28:54 Know that I'm wearing a libertarian's uniform right now again. No clothes at all except for headphones So Jerry drove her back to his house took her inside and told her to strip He forced her at gunpoint to model in various lingerie from his collection as he took pictures Before tying a noose around her neck the other end of the rope was attached to a hook on a come-along winch Then he slowly ratcheted the rope inch by inch until her toes could no longer touch the ground And he left her there to die as he went inside for lunch and a cartoon God, and you know it was Popeye Yeah, it was definitely Popeye because that's what would keep my attention. I could see that maybe anemaniacs
Starting point is 00:29:36 No, this was 1968. No, I know no. Well, let's just pretend. I love anemaniacs. It holds up So this guy first of all it's interesting that he did all this on an empty stomach now Second of all he was so calm. He could just go eat lunch. Well, this woman is dying in a shed or in his garage Well, this all happened like noon. Yeah, it's like in the middle of the afternoon, right? It was like 1 p.m. He was very like his whole His whole thing was about having a superiority complex He loved the idea of just doing it and then walking away like a king While someone else was essentially the the winch and the rope were doing the hard work
Starting point is 00:30:12 He was noon fuck all it was like he was supervisor. He was immediately office-spacing his own murders Because he could when he got back. She was dead door to death Karen Sprinkler's ordeal had lasted an hour Now this may be actually a controversial thing But when I first the saw the term come along winch, I thought that it was a job at a ren fair I see I've never been to one of those, but I'd like to go. They're really fun. Yeah, I've heard there for a good time A lot of meat on sticks. It's where we can be ourselves. Kissel. All right I'm just concerned that someone cosplaying as a king would make me a bench And then they sit on me and I would be so upset the whole time just because you're in the ren fair
Starting point is 00:30:55 Does it mean you're all of a sudden in medieval times again? They have the same laws that we have here in America if a king makes you a bench. You gotta be the bench. Yeah, yeah Well, Jerry again cut off the breast hoping to give his paperweight gag one more shot Geez this one was a little more successful So he displayed it in his home on his mantle full view for all the world to see Oh my god, what is going on with the wife here? She has got a boob mounted on the wall in their in their Living room at some point. She should speak up right the boobs mounted in the garage the boob Mounted to the house whenever there's just sitting on the mantel. It's a different than a mount
Starting point is 00:31:37 She's just got a Republican senator's wife's attitude, uh-huh, which is laissez-faire Don't go in the basement don't go in the garage. I'm Mitch McConnell's wife But you do so want to go in there because it just filled with his obnoxious toy train. No, that's possible But before Jerry Brutus got to that project He had to get rid of the body as he cut off the breast He stuffed her bra with brown paper towels to keep the wounds from bleeding all over his car seats He then drove the body to the Bundy Bridge Tied it to an engine block and pushed the bundle over the railing into the long Tom River
Starting point is 00:32:17 Hmm, you know between Bundy Bridge Ted Bundy Bundy Drive where Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were murdered and Carol Bundy and the Sunset Strip Killers I'm sort of think maybe there's something fucking up with this Bundy name Yep, and think about Al Bundy and and the group that he had no ma'am ma'am, which now which is very inappropriate Very very inappropriate. That's why I say we if you see a Bundy change it to a bum deep The bumby family sounds like they're always late to Six Flags they're rushing they're rushing god dang it We're bumbies. It's a family that's all mentally handicapped, but they call themselves hobbits and that's how they hide it So less than a month after Jerry Brutus murdered Karen Sprinkler in his garage
Starting point is 00:33:02 He attempted his third murder again by trying to take a woman hostage in a parking garage But this time he would fail good 24 year old Sharon Wood was walking to her car on the way to meet her soon-to-be ex-husband to discuss divorce proceedings When she heard footsteps behind her they got closer and closer until she felt a tap tap tap on her shoulder She turned around to see Jerry Brutus pointing a gun He again said if she didn't scream he wouldn't hurt her but Sharon decided there was no way in hell She was going with this guy so she fought back and screamed as loud as she could you just cannot fight a woman on the way to a divorce No, never mess with someone going through a divorce. She has been fighting for a year at least
Starting point is 00:33:46 Never mess with a mother and her baby or a person going through a divorce. They have a hair trigger And they are ready to kill That's what she said. She said that she was full of adrenaline And so when that Jerry Brutus when this guy when this dumpy shit came up and pointed a gun at her she snapped Yeah, she just lost it. I mean she must have like slowly done like kind of a like one of those really cryptic laughs where it's like I Another man, huh? Freckled piece of shit. I could see your panties hanging out of your pants. You want to fuck me today
Starting point is 00:34:26 Man, I am I did not know you were going through a divorce man So Brutus put his hand over her mouth But Karen bit down hard and didn't let go Jerry then grabbed her hair with his other hand and slammed her head on The pavement to try to pry her loose But Sharon had bought herself enough time for at that moment a car came driving into the garage and Brutus got scared and ran away Hmm when police arrived the woman had three words to describe her attacker big red and freckled I don't like you know If you combined all three of us right we would become Jerry Brutus. You're the captain planet team of Jerry Brutus
Starting point is 00:35:06 Physically physically. Yes, of course physically and that's kind of what it irks me I'm just gonna say that about this entire story is the his physical description size of Ben hair of Henry Freckle of Marcus Lord, it's also what are we gonna do with all these boobs that we have to mount on the wall? Oh, God So the next day Brutus tried to kidnap a 15 year old girl But she too got away again given the big red freckle description then Brutus tried for a 12 year old girl But she got away as well After three unsuccessful kidnapings in a row Jerry decided that maybe brute force wasn't his forte Right, so he reverted to what had worked the first two times trickery at this point
Starting point is 00:35:50 He's really jacked up because he he tried to basically lower his not lower his standards But do they be like I'm gonna make this easier for me by making my victim younger and younger and he kept fucking it up So now he's like horny and mad and just rare in a go And I guess and then he moves towards being a Gandalf like he moves towards like being like a card magician Oh, I see kind of the Chris angel of serial killers, but now this is the first time he's gone that young, right? I mean cuz yeah, it's very I'm just gonna say, you know what Marcus what I denounce I Denounced Jerry Brutus and his actions very strong denouncement. Thank you So what Jerry did for his next trick is he bought a fake police badge in a fake police uniform?
Starting point is 00:36:39 Counting on the public's trust of institutions to catch a victim and he found that victim in 22-year-old Linda Sally Now since Jerry's cover was essentially blown in parking garages across the greater Salem area He headed up to Lloyd shopping center in Portland and there on April 23rd 1969 he found Linda Sally who had just bought presents for her boyfriend's birthday Hmm according to Jerry he walked up to her flashed his fake badge and told her there had been a rash of shoplifting cases at the mall Recently and that she matched the description of the prime suspect Officer Brutus you may know me. This is my bad ring here. I'm part of the FBI female buddy inspector It's a joke. I've had since I was a kid. It's funny. No, I'm really with the federal Bureau of Exit
Starting point is 00:37:28 I mean expectation is that determined Jerry Brutus? So he convinced this woman that he was a cop somehow somehow well He had the fake badge. He had the fake uniform and this is 1968 people I mean the the trust in the public institutions was starting to fall just a little bit Yeah, but you know, you know some girl living in Salem, Oregon some guy in a cop uniform with a badge says come with me Probably gonna go with him, but there's it's not like he has a cop car or any Information or understanding of what being a police officer is yeah He he did not but the thing is that at this point this girl is probably more afraid of getting into trouble
Starting point is 00:38:03 Then she is of getting murdered, you know, that's a much more reasonable thing to go through her heads Like I'd better go with this cop or else I might get in trouble I don't want to get in trouble and if I just go with this guy then nothing bad is gonna happen to me And that's the great irony of it right her trying to prevent something bad from happening is what actually Leads to her murder. Yeah, never trust anyone. That's right. Never trust anyone. You know, I want to see the cop car I want to see the numbers on the bad. Yeah, we're going from going into an ambulance I want to chest you better check them sirens. Yeah before I believe that this is an ambulance I do not trust that I am being arrested by a police officer until I am fully beat up in handcuffs
Starting point is 00:38:45 Sitting in jail and then I say I think they might have been real cops. You got me you got me guys I trust you now. No, I agree. Don't trust anyone All we have to do is follow stone cold Steve Austin's t-shirts, which is DTA. Don't trust anybody Anything that can fit on a stone cold Austin t-shirt, that's all you need well if Linda Sally's fear shifted from getting into trouble to physical harm as they drove an hour back to Salem instead of the Police station she didn't say a word on the entire drive according to Jerry and she didn't say a word when Jerry directed her to enter his garage There he tied her up and went to eat dinner He's always doing this stuff hungry. Like you said Kissel. It was like I was reading about like Terry Cruz
Starting point is 00:39:32 He wakes up and he works out first thing and he doesn't eat till 2 p.m. He's doing all this hungry. Really? Yeah Wow, I guess it's sort of like a Snickers commercial here the Jerry Brutus edition Which is it would be a dark line of commercials for Snickers to go down Well after Jerry got back from dinner He found that Linda had broken free from her ropes But instead of trying to escape or use the phone that was right there in the garage Linda was just sitting there waiting I mean this is what is going on here. Well, you know, this might seem a little baffling It's extremely baffling just get out of there
Starting point is 00:40:10 Well, it's actually a well-documented reaction to kidnapping. I read this article It was published in the Journal of Royals Society of the Royal Society of Medicine Sounds like they focus on spina bifidus the most very good very good Marcus Thank you, but these two writers David Alexander and Susan Klein They wrote that in some kidnappings certain personality types will respond with what's called frozen fright and frozen fright The victims normal emotional reactions are completely paralyzed and more extended kidnapping scenarios Some people suffer from what's called learned helplessness in which the person believes Nothing they do can help their situation and it's very possible that Linda Sally fell victim to this symptom almost immediately upon figuring out
Starting point is 00:40:53 The Jerry Brutus was definitely not a police officer and definitely met her harm because you know as far as it could be with her You know, she was just waiting for him to take her home. She's like well I guess I'm just here, but if I sit here and wait then maybe he'll just take me home and not hurt me Yeah, and do whatever I would do whatever you want We'll get this over with and then we'll this will be over and then the same time Jerry Brutus is looking all this is that it's It's a technically fulfilling his even deeper fantasies because there's a part of him where he sees that she's broken away It hasn't escaped and he's like she's flipped. She now loves me This is all consensual
Starting point is 00:41:26 This is all great and it's a thing that he always wanted like total control over someone and in the same But he's also you know a very sick person well the thing is about Jerry is that you know He wanted he all he liked her being so submissive But what he really wanted to do is he wanted to possess the body totally he didn't want a living woman. He just wanted The body you just wanted a doll so he tied her back up He looped a noose around her neck just as he had with Karen Sprinkler and again slowly Which the rope along until she choked to death and again he committed necrophilia But this time he decided to try and experiment
Starting point is 00:42:02 He hung her corpse on a hook stuck hypodermic needles into a rib cage and ran Electricity through the metal. He said he wanted to see if he could use the current to make the corpse Quote-unquote dance. Okay, so he's got this woman acting like I believe Kim Basin or in Tom Petty's last dance with Mary Jane Kind of sorta. So he's dancing again. What is happening? He's in a garage Don't the neighbors notice or the family at some point you have to understand There's like a bunch of experiments going on in this garage, and it's not like totally normal. What's he building? What's he building and you open it up and you just see him dancing with the corpse? Well, no, not not literally dancing When I say dance he said what was the exact quote?
Starting point is 00:42:44 He said he wanted to make her wanted to watch her jump like a frog in a skillet Yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't think he was gonna plug her in and she was gonna turn into Lady Gaga I mean and that's fucked up to say that's all he didn't think that he thought it was just good He thought he was gonna thought it was gonna wiggle around But it didn't because it enough fucking you didn't have enough current or just whatever. He's just bad at it Right, you know, we do dark humor on the show That's what I always do we do we do but I will say I Scream for hours in this room in my apartment complex and no one says anything. Yeah except someone did ask me
Starting point is 00:43:18 I was at the community grill and it was like I was grilling something and like in the front of my apartment complex So someone walked past and asked me if I was the guy who's always screaming in accents Well, that's an interesting way to call you racist I am just saying that they are trapped in here with me I'm not trapped in here with uh-huh So when the body did nothing that Jerry wanted it to he took it down and again threw it over the Bundy Bridge way down by Chevrolet transmission and Thankfully Linda Sally would be the last victim of the shoe fetish slayer. Oh, thank goodness And within two months Jerry Brutus would be behind bars. Yeah, now even though it definitely doesn't seem like a good advertisement for Chevy
Starting point is 00:44:00 I think if you're shabby, I was very irresponsible For them to do the commercial where it showed like a woman's like well Like undeformed body floating in a plastic tarp and it was tied with a chain to an engine block and they lift it up They're like huh and I no wonder it didn't sink It's not the right material I don't think that's what they meant with the like a rock slogan Yes You are Chevy and you want to distance yourself from this character
Starting point is 00:44:33 You very much do and you know what you know, I say that Jerry Brutus was caught within two months You know, we really haven't mentioned it so far, but the cops have been meticulously searching for all these women this entire time I mean the cops in this story are super cops. These guys were one hell of a team Well, the thing was though is that the bodies of Linda Slosson and Jan Whitney They were never found as we said so there weren't really many clues to go on with them The only thing anyone knew about where Linda Slosson went was the general neighborhood Where she went to go sell the encyclopedias because her company didn't keep records of the exact houses Their salesman went to and Jan Whitney had just seemed to vanish in a thin air from a broken down car
Starting point is 00:45:12 Hmm and the two dudes who could have identified Jerry from Jan Whitney's broken car It probably split by that point never knowing anything had gone wrong hippies have the memories of goldfish They only remember the the most righteous bong hit they've ever taken uh-huh and and how long it is they've What is the longest they've ever noodles? Which is I've heard at its peak is seven hours and 14 minutes is the longest single string of noodle That hippies ever done. Wow. Wow. So these it's it's fortunate It wasn't worse You know because like you were saying with the good police work here
Starting point is 00:45:49 But these guys could have probably stopped all of this from happening in the first place I mean if they would have seen when the pictures of Linda So when the pictures of Jan Whitney went up around town if they would have seen the pictures and like oh that was that girl and She went off with that guy then they very much could they very well could have caught Jerry Brutus After the second murder But unfortunately that either the guys didn't remember it or they weren't around Or just didn't say anything just didn't feel like saying anything. I'm gonna go with Henry and say they probably just didn't remember Yes
Starting point is 00:46:22 Well all that changed when the body of Linda Sally was found floating in the long Tom River The body had been weighed down but Jerry botched the job So the corpse would spot it was spotted by a couple of citizens out on a father-son fishing trip Nothing brings a father and son closer together than finding a nude dead woman's body Because you can see how each other reacts I guess so if you know that something's wrong with your son if immediately jumps out and starts chewing on it like it's a Cedar wheel and a hamster cage. Yeah, you got some issues with your kid there. I used to go Fishing with my father, but we both hated it. So why did you go? I have no idea?
Starting point is 00:46:59 He's an he's an immigrant So he just wanted to do an American thing and then we hate worms and water. We're not supposed to be on it No, banked it was never supposed to be in a tiny boat. No, it was banked ever went into a tiny boat It was only to only on the estuaries of Uruguay. That's where he belonged. That's where his family was. Mm. Thank you Henry Beautiful. Well searching for more clues divers also found the body of Karen sprinkler just 50 feet away When they inspected the knots used to tie the bodies to the weights They found that whoever had done the knots had used what was called underwriters knots and these knots were specifically used by Electricians and so police had their first real clue
Starting point is 00:47:44 After Linda Sally Brutus decided to change venues and tactics for his next victim Just simply abducting or tricking women wasn't enough for him anymore. Now. He wanted to play with him Psychologically Jerry started haunting Oregon State University Hanging around campus and bothering women to go out on a date with him and when that didn't work He started calling dorms asking for Pam or Susan or Tanya Just random names in the hopes that he would be connected with anyone. Hey, excuse me. I'm looking for is Laquinta You call the Laquinta in we don't actually have anyone named
Starting point is 00:48:18 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe it's not so common name there. So do you have a um, is there a Howard Johnson there? That's it. I mean, I'm just looking at lists of hotels. Yeah, are you looking at women's names? And he was actually successful with his three times and each time he told the girl on the other end And this is what he opened with is that he was a Vietnam vet with ESP. Oh my good. Did he mean PTSD? No, he meant ESP. Actually, it's more like I'm a Vietnam vet. I should have finishes with ESPN Ah, I have all of the ESPN's. I have one through nine You know me because you can watch all the pool that you want to watch all the billiards on ESPN 6 and then ESPN 9 is just John Madden stuck on a toilet
Starting point is 00:49:05 Man, I think that channel would do fairly well actually He would then ask them out for quote-unquote coke and conversation Not not cocaine. Oh, okay, coca-cola. Well, do cocaine and then you're gonna have a lot of conversation You're gonna have a lot of conversation. The first two girls he called turned them down But the third said yes They got together for a date and Jerry was a creep almost immediately Because by this time the murders of Linda Sally and Karen Sprinkler were common knowledge So Jerry decided as a lot of these guys do to talk
Starting point is 00:49:40 Hypothetically about the murders. So this is his sort of if I did it moment. Yes, it is Well, it's the same thing that Ed Kimper did when he went over to the cop bar and he would talk to them about The murders that he had committed Hypothetically is like well if I was this guy I might have done this or I might have done that or John Wayne Gacy doing the ride-alongs with the cops that were following after the disappearance of Robert Pist These guys do this a lot and this is like kind of a Psychological flaw in these guys that it's still like it's another way for them to feel superior and we're gonna see this extend to the place, but it started off with the women as it's and we're saying he is
Starting point is 00:50:18 Getting off sexually on this on seeing them being made uncomfortable about him talking about the crimes that are happening And he likes it because it's it shows it basically putting him in a power position Immediately where women are kind of already on guard and now he's needling them Like talking about this very fucking frightening real thing that's happening all around them to girls that look just like them Yeah, yes, you got this guy who is like Ignatius from Confederacy of Dunces kind of just obnoxious fat Disgusting hanging around college campus again, were there any red flag? There's a lot of red flags here Oh, yeah, no one is really picking up 24-7. You never just randomly answer a fucking phone call I guess technically Tinder's the same thing. I guess just meeting up with randos
Starting point is 00:51:01 They could be they could say whatever it is that they want about what they are and what they do First when Jerry was out on the date. He asked the girl how she knew Jerry wasn't gonna take her to the river in Strangler That's what he opened with do you think it's just because I look too kind or do you think it's because I look too Fucking awesome. You know when I was a child in high school I didn't have a lot of time for classes because I was too busy going to a mental asylum, sir That was pretty cool stuff going on. Well, you should have clarified coke and extremely creepy conversation And then he said and this is an actual quote from this is what the girl said that Jerry told her okay Think something sad
Starting point is 00:51:40 Think about those two girls that were killed. Yeah, I'll start with that. That was an awful thing to happen, right? Isn't it fucking bad? I know think about something else sad think about like the Buffalo Bills And how they lost four Super Bowls in a row. That's sad. It's extremely sad I also love again when Jerry Brutus slowly becomes Charles, Inc. My favorite In a while And who is more annoying?
Starting point is 00:52:08 Charles-ing or Jerry Brutus more annoying. I think Charles-ing only because of his just the strength of his character Charles-ing is just a he's louder. I'd say he's five decibels louder than Jerry Brutus. It's just a matter of all. Yeah Yeah, Jerry Brutus isn't in the break room practicing martial arts and screaming like Charles-ing was I love the I love the conversations that this show inspires Well Jerry followed the think about something sad opener by asking this girl Why she wanted to be raped like the other girls and he then ended the date by saying he needed to go work on an Engine again referencing the girls in the river He's just trying to be as creepy as creepy and as awful as he possibly can be
Starting point is 00:52:59 Yeah, you have to understand how what a struggle it is. Yeah, I mean because I tried Toyota's but they just weren't They weren't doing anything right and then I went over and I tried a fiat engine and it just didn't really fuckin That didn't get for me either, but really it was just when I got this Chevy I was like now this right here. This is like a rack But thankfully instead of just trying to write it off is just a bad date the girl Immediately called the police when she got home And since the papers had never reported the sexual assault police knew this was something worth looking into because you know I'm sure there were plenty of people calling in with tips
Starting point is 00:53:34 But since he had not this is why cops don't release all the details from a crime Right is because they're waiting for somebody to trip up. Yep. Yeah, and Jerry Brutus tripped up And what's more is Linda Sally was a student at OSU So police had already been canvassing the area asking about suspicious characters and women had already told them about the flabby Freckled 30 something bothering women around campus and now a person with that same description had given details about the murders That weren't public knowledge and Jerry hadn't left a number So police told the co-ed to call them as soon as Jerry called back and a few weeks later He did he told her that he was in the neighborhood and asked if she could meet him in about 15 minutes
Starting point is 00:54:17 Because of course like he's thinking he's planned it right. He's thinking this is gonna be the one This is gonna be the day I'm gonna make her get come down as fast as she can So she doesn't have time to think about it and I can surprise her but she told him that she'd be ready in an hour You do it It's a very common thing that they do on Cold calls and sales show like that the idea is that you you basically raise the stakes and you say should have been like you Have to do this right now right and you put a weird sense of of anxiety in someone I'd be in like this you got a comment and like you we got to jump on this deal right now
Starting point is 00:54:48 This is a deal. This is coke in conversation. It doesn't come around that often Yeah, and after she told him she'd meet him in an hour. She hung up and called the cops immediately And when Jerry showed up an hour later, the police were there waiting for him Nice and Jerry probably not knowing that the Nazis to weigh down the bodies had given away his profession Freely offered up that he was an electrician by chance. Honestly, it's very creepy So the cops came Jerry was sitting in the lobby waiting for her to come down and he saw the cops and he did not react at all Like they came and they asked him like what's up saying we're just asking we're canvassing for people in the neighborhood Just asking questions. We're looking for this killer and he just laid this whole line down me like yeah
Starting point is 00:55:24 I'm just an electrician. I'm here in town. I'm helping my buddy work on a project and yeah And I'm just here. I'm just gonna kill in time kill in time in this lobby So he lied not knowing that he was already be like they were casing him and he didn't think about it But he thought he was being super fucking smart. So he lied and then left right so he he's having his Chris Hansen dateline NBC moment. Mm-hmm. I don't know if they offered him cookies Which is always the strangest thing about that show Lemonade it would be interesting to be a producer on that show with the just just in charge of the food Yeah, I'm on just I'm in charge of snacks
Starting point is 00:55:59 Make sure there's good and then you think about those people once you realize that you are and cut to catch your predator You should start slamming those cookies Oh, yeah, the last cookies you're ever gonna have man very unfortunate you guys gave me macadamia nut cookies It's my least favorite cookie Well, Jerry he gave the cops his real name and he gave him his real address They went to his house and Jerry freely volunteered that he'd been living in the same neighborhood where Linda Slossin had disappeared the previous year And he freely offered up that he regularly drove along I file where Jan Whitney's car was found And as far as murders number three and four went the department store where Jerry abducted Karen sprinkler
Starting point is 00:56:41 Was only a few miles from his house and spot in the river where he dumped their bodies was only a few miles from where he Worked, but it's actually okay because what you do is is that the real but what we know about serial killers Especially now is that they work in a very small radius unless they are Really booking around like like Richard Ramirez did in order to try to like throw off the scent and all that bullshit If you're not aware, which especially at the time there's no writings about serial killers You keep it all like they know that there's a central spoke as soon as they see like oh shit all the stuff So between with an easy easy access of this shit. It's right there and the guys in electrician. It's right there We just need to watch his ass. Yeah, and I don't know if Richard Ramirez could ever throw off the scent horrible breath
Starting point is 00:57:20 Horrible breath on horrible breath Because at this point all this stuff is totally circumstantial, right? He just happened to be in the same area and he just happens to know but he just happens to be an electrician and The knots just happen to be tied the way an electrician ties the knots and he happens to match the description of a creepy Guy going around bothered women. It's adding up pretty quick here It's definitely adding up, but it's still circumstantial. This stuff isn't gonna hold up in a court of law But then Jerry let the cops search his garage and there
Starting point is 00:57:53 And their cops saw wires tied and underwriters knots just like the knots on the bodies So while Jerry was talking about God knows what one of the cops slipped a knot into his pocket Mmm, and then the investigators happen to notice just how much goddamn nylon rope was lying around now It is impossible to imagine how someone could have this much arrogance But Jerry actually suggested without prompting that cops should take a piece of the rope with them Yeah, hey, could help it you be a notice here looking at all my piles of rope, huh? It's got fun, right? I'm like a cool guy. You're gonna see a lot of guys You got a lot of rope, you know most of the times because I was in high school I spent half the time in a mental asylum
Starting point is 00:58:36 So they be pretty cool, so I keep all these piles of rope around so you can take a picture to last longer You don't leave it last longer than a picture. Just have some rope. Go have some I have some to spare Go play with it. Do you even got to do it? Look at this. You're hanging out your fly. It's like a thin little penis But then if you put it in a bowl, it's like a bunch of spaghetti You can do anything you want with the rope. Those are two things that you could theoretically do with the rope You can also hang up a bunch of girls from the ceiling with it Anyway, all right, so he really in his mind. He's like proving he's trying. He thinks he's out Smartening them. Yeah, he thinks he completely thinks he's outsmarting and he's it's like I was saying earlier about
Starting point is 00:59:19 The thrill half of the thrill being the possibility of getting caught the closer he gets to getting caught and So getting away with it the bigger the thrill is yeah, he's ratcheting up He's ratcheting up is like it's it's making them a hard little dumpling Yeah, the longer this is filled and filled up with the shit It's really ratcheting up and he also at this point He says in his confessions later on is that he thought that they couldn't get anything on him because he got rid of the bodies He's like they need the bodies They need all the weapons they need all the shit, but you don't realize like what he's doing
Starting point is 00:59:48 He just thinks he's brilliant. He's a piece of shit Yeah, and he actually cut a piece himself from the same coil of rope he'd used to tie his victims bodies to automotive parts to keep Them from floating to the surface And of course the crime labs immediately match the wire the rope and the knots from the garage to the river and Along with the positive identification from the 12 year old girl Jerry had tried to abduct months earlier Police had enough to arrest Jerry Brutus within days of first meeting this guy If not, if not before good and Brutus was caught on May 30th 1969 as he and his family were driving bags packed to the Canadian border and only took a few hours in the box for
Starting point is 01:00:29 Jerry to confess to all of his crimes and it seemed like he really wanted to like honestly all of this was him sort of opening up to The cops he likes being a part of the investigation of himself Because it fits something with him and when I thought it was very interesting was that when they arrested him He was asleep in the back seat while his wife was driving and when they took him back to get changed to be put in prison Clothes he took off his pants and he was wearing a set of satin panties And they all looked at him and he was like my skin is very sensitive That's exactly what he said. Well, I guess he doesn't get to keep the panties They did not get to keep the panties, but he's right though. Honestly, I've looked at it like panties are made out of nice material
Starting point is 01:01:07 They're super soft the me undies are very similar to that That's a good plug for them because they're very soft and it's very nice on your balls And you know your butthole because I have no I very little but me hold on a second You have the sauce fabric. Oh, but guess my butthole. Are you wearing panties on a regular basis now look? Don't know these are boxer briefs These are boxer briefs These are boxer briefs No, I won't wear panties because I try to wear satin boxers once and my asshole just chewed them up like it was
Starting point is 01:01:35 All right, I'm trying to make its way through a turkey dinner. Oh my goodness. I can't wear satin All right. Well, that concludes Henry's underwear portion of the show Hopefully that we never return to that segment panties are fun, but that's all right I don't want it. Can we move a long-term solution because there's no room for the junk. You got to I get it You got to tuck it back. You got to really get back. No, you need something with a tube I understand all the mess in there something that holds all the bongies in there Well, Jerry even though he had already confessed he still thought that he could get away with everything The day after he confessed in detail
Starting point is 01:02:10 He called Darcy and told her to burn all of his photographs and a bag of clothes He had in the garage. What do you want me to burn? What? Because that's what she said is that she also had no clue what he was talking about She's like what bag of clothes you had in the garage What kind of shit you have in the attic and she walked up there and it was just filled with all these panties that were not her panties And I was she in for a surprise. I don't know this Darcy woman seems very complicit And now she's acting like Madeline Khan in the movie clue. She's burning all the photos This puts her in my opinion in the realm of criminality
Starting point is 01:02:45 Well, she did not burn the most incriminating but she burned some of the photos She burned a couple of photos and the general theory is that she only burned a couple of the photos So she could have a bit of an insurance policy in case Jerry ever did actually get away with it if he At this point, I mean you really wonder how Darcy looks at Jerry Brutus at this point Like how does Darcy? What do you think Henry? How does Darcy see Jerry Brutus at this point in her life? He's fun He's fancy. He's free Obviously, it's just the the deepest form of denial in a way where you've really just to the point Where you're aiding a betting a murderer where I think that you at some point you have to break through whatever is your comfort zone
Starting point is 01:03:32 Because that's her. She's living and she's living in a bubble I think it was kind of the same thing we looked at when we talked about Eric Harris and stuff like that when you're like looking at This kid that's obvious somebody it's something is obviously fucking up. Yeah, but you are just not Gonna even acknowledge it because if you do you have to do something about it Which involves then putting yourself in harm's way like because think about this how far is the jump between you becoming You're his wife And then if you discover all the crimes that you become one of the victims Yeah, you already seen the kind of shit that he was doing cryptic shit
Starting point is 01:04:05 Yeah, he was choking her and stuff that she wasn't into he was putting bags over ahead and taking pictures of it like back of the Day and she saw the look in his eyes She saw the right dose glaze that would go over when he did that kind of shit and she knows that he's fucking dangerous Yeah, I mean it's just yeah anyway It seems like if her comfort zone is a garage that has multiple corpses inside of it There's something wrong with her. Well, she didn't know there were corpses in the car. She didn't want to know Anyway, I don't know. I'm just saying well I mean the point is she didn't burn the most incriminating photos because when police examined them
Starting point is 01:04:38 They found one photo in particular in which Jerry had placed a mirror underneath the skirt of one of his victims as she hung in The air and there in the reflection of the mirror was the dead-eyed face of Jerry Brutus And you know she saw that face before yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. She's just like Just threw it back in the pile. Yeah, her husband looks like Christian Bale from the machinist. I mean, he's just obviously soulless Opposite he's the opposite of his bad Right the look in the eyes, but the look in the eyes. That's right Yeah Now after half-heartedly trying an insanity defense Brutus pled guilty to three of the four murders and was sentenced to life in prison
Starting point is 01:05:16 But the system wasn't done with his family just yet There was still the matter of Darcy because the the DA's office just like you they thought there was no Way that this woman could not have known that there was something going on So she was charged in his as an accessory to the murder of Karen Sprinkler. Okay But after seven hours of jury deliberation Darcy Brutus was found not guilty I I don't know. I don't sounds like she's just a she's a She's a daft woman. She's probably she very Reminds me somewhat of the what's the mom from all in the family? Oh sure complicit in racism
Starting point is 01:05:56 And we don't know what what was the name of the main dude in that Archie Bunker Archie Bunker probably a killer We never saw his grouch. They never did show his grouch. So that's a good point. I don't think he ever killed was a six-pack and a roast chicken Love that guy Darcy and her children changed their names moved away from Salem And are more than likely still living their lives out here somewhere in the United States. Ah, maybe they're the bumpkis What is it the bumbies the bumbies the bumbies the bumbies the bumbies? You know what I think you know who could have really used a Darcy Brutus Elliott Spitzer Stand by your man. Yep. Now as for Jerry's run in prison
Starting point is 01:06:33 He was never particularly popular among the inmates and was actually Sodomized about six months into his stay on New Year's Eve gas gas Let's listen. I know we're all caught up in the fever the countdown is happening right now But just please don't all right. Well, at least let me sing while I do it I'm not gonna make this sexy for you. I'm not making it sexy for you We we can allow that because Jerry Brutus is a horrible person. Yes, Jerry Brutus is the fucking words man. He's awful But the guards loved him the guards loved the guards absolutely like he was very popular among staff Well, he that's not a good thing to be actually in prison. You don't really want to be the staff's number one guy
Starting point is 01:07:20 Well, he installed the entire cable TV system there He worked up this great record-keeping system with their computers because he was a natural at computers once they started being put Into personal use and he was also in charge of repairing restocking And just generally doing maintenance over the vending machines So basically he did what I do for my parents every Christmas when I go home, right? Yeah You restock your father's vending machine? Yeah, because his dad has to wear oven mitts because he drank himself and smoked too So many cigarettes he can't fuck My father is suffering from diabetes and he is unchecked
Starting point is 01:08:00 And it will be sad there will be a time where I will have to do a sad moment where I have to Memorialize my father and everyone's gonna have to deal with it Well while Jerry did do a fair amount of work in prison most of his free time was spent with the mini shoe catalogs You requested through the mail throughout the years and he was able to keep those way out in the open Honestly, though, that's porno for him. The prison should have not let him have shoes No, that's the best part about having a fetish is that then anything can be your porno if that's your fetish Like if you like raw chicken go to the grocery store, you can come all over everything. Yeah, but that's not kind of fun I know I guess it's good like horse and carriage weekly if you're really into carriages or something
Starting point is 01:08:43 I don't know I suppose and just a little over 10 years ago Jerry Brutus died of liver cancer at the age of 67 in Oregon state penitentiary. All right. Wow. Yep. Jerry Jerry Brutus and Jerry Lewis died today. Wow I'm gonna say this episode's in memory of Jerry Lewis because if there's anybody that physically reminds me of Jerry Lewis It's Jerry Brutus.
