It's sort of, you can hear the download numbers go down. Yeah. It's fun in a way. The noise I always like to do is you ever remember the movie, the alien movie, the arrival,

not the one with Amy Adams, but the one with Charlie Sheen. Yeah. And their knees go backwards. Yeah. And then when all the aliens saw it, they like... They're like... They're like... They're like... That's why I was... That's my noise that I like.

That's a wonderful noise. And that's of course Ed Larson making that wonderful noise. Oh my God. I had this horrible cough when that movie came out, I remember. Like I had like an infection in my lungs. And then I remember I started... Every time I'd cough, I'd leave the... I'd have to leave the room because I couldn't stop coughing.

And my father would always yell at me, like, stop coughing, you idiot! You know, and I'd be like, I can't control it, Dad! You know, and then I would leave, and then I would start coughing so much that I would pass out. And I remember when I started coughing during the movie The Arrival, I passed out, and when I came to, I saw the movie poster The Arrival,

and it just burned in my memory, because it seemed like something that's great to see when you wake up from almost dying. That's a really great story Well that is definitely a story of neglect Today We're gonna be taking a bit of a different route today Today, we're getting into good old fashioned true crime. Capital T, capital C, true fucking crime.

So what I hope, all right, yeah, it's, this is a, it's a, kind of, we got a middle episode here. We're about to do a huge series, but we want you to do, before we get there, all right? You're imagining now, set yourself up to your true crime, like, your whole environment. Yeah. You're in a hotel, you've had three or four glasses of white wine.

Yeah. You're an attractive, you know, middle-aged woman. Sixty-something. You've got a fluffy robe on, right? You've got a fluffy robe on. You are moist. Think about this. You know when you do that thing, ladies, one of my favorite the ladies do, or anybody does, when you get freshly out of shower

and you get slicked up like a big eel, and then you're slippery and it's nice and you're getting moisturized, now you're ready to go. Now you- You got some cheddar popcorn. Yeah, get your vape going, get your vape going. Open up Reddit, it's time to ruin somebody's life. Let's go, it's a true ruin somebody's life. Let's go.

It's a true crime day, isn't it ladies? Come on! Let's do it. Today, we're gonna be doing a little thing that we call newlywed to newly dead. Lotta people, they go down to the courthouse to get married, but they might as well stay there, because what they do afterwards is gonna put him in the slammer

Sorry Marriage may be bliss but divorce is murder I certainly don't till death do us fart That was a little bit more jazz It was pretty I mean I like the jazziness of it I mean, let's see what else we find when the next time when we bring it up for the next story. All right Yeah, yeah, cuz I do like jazzy true crime because it makes me feel like we're back in the black Dahlia days Yeah, and it kind of felt like that but that kind of music makes me feel like I'm outside the police station

Yeah, I was wanted to be a reenactor. Yeah reenactor Oh, yeah like if they ever need like a fat plumber or something to be like I don't know they went to the left and that's why I like fatal vows is because the people they use in their reenactment Are just as unattractive as the people that the story is Actually about yeah, see recently. I've been reenacting World War two the bad guys in my own neighborhood And a lot of people don't like it when you show up and say I'm reenacting Yeah, World War two on you

Nazi armband I just sent the enemies Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got your Nazi armband on. I just said the enemies. We don't know which one. It was Italian. So our first newlywed to newly dead murder today is a tale of sleaze, vice, and fame. This is a story that by its end had unintentionally changed the entire landscape

of American media, and it all came to a head because of the actions of one man who competed in possibly the trashiest subgenre of reality TV, celeb reality dating. I love the term celeb reality because it's a separate reality. It is. We're talking about your flavor of love. What was the Bret Michaels one?

House of Love? Poison of Life? Rock of Love. Yeah, Rock of Love. Yeah, with the bandanas. Brett the Brett Michaels Yes with the bandanas and then you had the one with all of his head surgeries that he had to wear the bandanas Yeah, is it true? Yeah, he has like brain problems. Oh, I thought you meant hair plugs. No, no, no, no No, yes, he was cuz should it be you should be dead. What? Yeah, but he's not I guess I could be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure Brett Michaels had a bunch of head surgeries I think they like went in there and fucked around and made it soup. I guess it was very difficult for him to find love

Yeah, it was yeah. Oh Rob says true. Yeah So on August 15th 2009 authorities found the body of an unidentified woman stuffed in a suitcase that had been tossed in a dumpster in Buena Park, California. And you can get an amazing deal on a set of travel gear yourself and go to a way luggage. Code LastBot90. We actually don't think they do, they don't sponsor us, right? I never heard of them.

They're great, I have them, actually I have no connection to them. I think we have a way. Yeah, that's what who they are I to I use yeah, like because they're a sponsor. Mm-hmm last podcast on the left Know what these people could have used simply safe Well the cause of death was strangulation Well, the cause of death was strangulation, but authorities on the scene soon noticed that the person who killed this woman had also cut off all of the joints on her fingers and had removed all her teeth, so as to make identification that much more difficult. Oh, I thought it was to eat the fingers. Did you again not eat lunch before we started today?

No, I saw him eat rice cakes. I had rice cakes. Alright, good. Go, go, go. But what the killer didn't count on was the woman's breast implants. See, newer implants are sacs filled with saline or silicone, actual manufactured products, so each implant has a serial number that can be traced back to its recipient. As such, the implants found in the body of this fingerless, toothless victim identified it as belonging to a 28-year-old model named Jasmine Fiore.

This might sound really insensitive. No. Listen, but let's just say, do you think that having no teeth, no fingers and toes would keep someone from making love to your corpse if your corpse Otherwise was banging. Well, we don't know that they took the toes. I'm just saying Henry your premises law General do you think that turn off a necrophiliac? No, see, I was thinking about, can you resell the breasts? Actually, and that's why he's half Jewish. Well, Jasmine was primarily a bikini model, but had planned to quit the business prior to her death because she'd obtained a real estate license.

This change in career was right around the time that Jasmine first met a man named Ryan Jenkins at a Las Vegas casino, the very man who would soon after be responsible for her untimely death. And that is his real name, but it does feel like a fake name you'd give to somebody in Las Vegas. Oh yeah, Ryan Jenkins. Ryan Jenkins? Well, Ryan Jenkins was a reasonably successful Canadian real estate developer who, just before meeting Jasmine in Vegas, had just finished competing in a VH1 celebrity dating show called

Megan Wants to Be a Millionaire. Starring a former Playboy model named Megan Hauserman, who'd previously been on Beauty and the Geek and the second season of Rock of Love, Megan Wants to Be a Millionaire was a dating show based solely on the concept that Megan wanted to be the trophy wife of a wealthy man. I like the fact that, again, it's a woman who knows what she wants. That's straight up and down. I will say to the potential suitor of someone like Megan, if she's made it through three different, s-le-b-re-a-l- celebrity dating shows, made it through various rounds of it.

Still not a millionaire. Not, never once found love. She's never found love. I don't know if it's up to you buddy if she can't love Brett Michaels. It wasn't called Megan wants to find love. It was called Megan wants to be a millionaire. She had Brett Michaels. Yeah, he had Brent Michaels Yeah, the whole point is that the whole point is that she doesn't want love. She wants money. I get it

Yeah Well as far as how they found contestants VH1 casting agents ran national radio ads and hosted casting parties at nightclubs all in their search To find eligible men with a minimum of 1 million dollars in their bank accounts And of course, this is not gonna attract the best person their search to find eligible men with a minimum of $1 million in their bank accounts. Of course, this is not going to attract the best person. You never know, man. Sometimes an emotionally stunted multimillionaire can only be married to a playmate that he meets on television.

Because if not, if he doesn't do that, that man is going to run for president. And what is going to happen is that he is going to subjugate us to the rest of time. This is a, this could have been an alternative story. Yeah, it really could have been. Well, Ryan Jenkins, the murderer in this story was discovered in Las Vegas. He used his so-called cocky charm to win over casting producers who thought that Ryan quote had one of the best personalities on the planet Where'd you go to college? I went to college? Yeah.

I mean, mostly I just fucking cheap up. You do have a great personality. Yeah, I'm the fuck. That's what I said. Yeah, cool man. You did cheap up instead of going to college. I really did. I sold weed instead of going to college. Did you like grapes? Yeah, you did cheap up instead of going to college. It really did. I sold weed instead of going to college. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You and me bro. Gumby friends. Sure. You have

a million dollars, right? Yeah. Yeah. What kind of cardio drug? Nothing ever since I got hit by the ambulance. That's how I made the money. Oh, yes. Well, Ryan was more or less marked as the charismatic heel character in Megan Wants to Be a Millionaire and was quickly cast as a contestant. Now there's no standardized system for vetting people for reality TV, so all the networks and production companies who make these shows have different systems for checking the backgrounds of the people they choose. To check the contestants for Megan Wants to Be a Millionaire, VH1 hired a company that

specialized in US-based criminal searches, but since Ryan was Canadian, that company subcontracted his background check to another company. Just four years before applying for this show, Ryan had pled guilty to a serious physical assault against an ex-girlfriend in Alberta, and while that definitely would have disqualified him, the company that had been subcontracted to check out Ryan's record in Canada missed it completely, and as a result, he was given the all clear. Ryan described himself in the show as a little bit of a Prince Charming and a little bit of a bad boy, and the titular Megan found him sweet despite the fact that he wore obviously fake Rolex watches And he only brought one pair of pants to a potential five-week shoot should he go all the way

Well I figured honestly, Megan was that underwear is like the guard of your pants Many ways why would I need more than one pair of pants if I have underwear between my shit and piss? You have a Rolex but also one pair of pants This is called the bolex and it can also fire little darts I think of fake Rolex makes a lot more sense than a real Rolex. It does, because it's absolutely stupid how much a Rolex costs. Yes. Well, as it turned out, Ryan Jenkins did charm Megan Houserman more than any of the others. The two of them would talk for hours on the phone outside of the shoot. Yeah, you salads, huh, Yali? The salad before an entree? Yeah! outside of the shoot. But there was somewhat of a problem with Ryan as far as the producers

of the show were concerned. When they found out that Megan was planning to choose him as the winner, they told her that Ryan was coming off as extremely unlikable in the on-camera interviews. Women are naturally offended by me. I like it. There's something about my general demeanor that makes people just come and at me. Super antagonistic. Maybe it's because I got my dick is so big it's in my shoes. Sometimes when I talk people get mad. I don't mean to sound like a misogynist. I just think that women are toys to be broken with my massive head. I went to the Lamborghini. I have to give back in 20 minutes. I do remember there was a guy on 90 day fiance wants who did say on cameras like you see women's brains are naturally smaller than a man's brain

They need coaching they knew he was that was his job is that he life coached women because their brains were smaller than men How do you make their brains bigger? You don't you teach them how to work with their smaller brains? Because that's the thing. While a person might be able to use personal charm to win someone over one on one, the camera can often tell a different story when that person is just talking by themselves. As such, the producers felt that Ryan was coming off so badly in interviews that they were sure that the audience would revolt if Ryan was the winner. But isn't that good television?

Well, not if you hate the way it ends. They, the exact of a day. There's a level of like hatred that like, you know, you need a heel, but the heel's there as the foil for somebody, you know, that more people like. This was also weirdly a more shame-filled time period. So they act, 2009.

They sort of actually cared what they were presenting on the show. And kind of. Like obviously it was very exploitive. But now we'd go all the way. Nowadays we'd go all the way and have the villain win because now that's what everybody likes. Yeah. Well, the producer strongly suggested to Megan Houserman that she review her options. And as a result, she sent Ryan home in the second to last episode. Now this upset Ryan greatly, because Megan had told him privately that she was going to choose him, but her plan was to call Ryan after the show wrapped three days later to smooth things over.

Don't worry, you didn't get the money, the whole world is embarrassed on national television, but don't worry. I'll call you Honestly, what a way to keep it all going. She really wants to be a millionaire. Oh, she does Well, the thing is I mean she was all set to dump the winner and continue her relationship with Ryan Jenkins So she said but Ryan didn't answer when Megan called after the shoot was over when he did call her back He told her that he was so upset after leaving the show that he met a woman in Vegas and married her two days later Whoa, that woman was the aforementioned Jasmine Fiore. I just like I've never been that upset

I can't imagine that that's the way to do this to go be so upset that the you go to Vegas and marry a person. You! I'm married to you! Let's go! Oh no Elvis! Bring it Donovan! We're doing it the old way! Now according to a friend of Jasmine's, the two of them bonded over having the same birthday, and after what I assume was an old fashioned two day Vegas bender... No way!

What? Wait a second. May? May? 14? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no friend of Jasmine's, they bonded over having the same birthday, and after what I assume was an old-fashioned two-day Vegas bender, they got married at the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Vegas Strip. And soon after, they moved into a penthouse condo here in Los Angeles.

It soon became clear to Jasmine and everyone in her life that Ryan was not only a bad person, but an arrogant prick to boot. He would brag about how his rich father owned an airplane in Canada. One! One whole airplane! Not just the back, not just the wheels. My cousin, he only owns the wheels to an airplane and it's just not fun. It's horseshit having to share a plane, all the different parts,

having them getting together and then finding a captain. But I think he's saving up for axles and everything will be good soon. Well, he would also constantly center every conversation on himself and how much money he and his family had, but he was also physically abusive and incredibly jealous. Always a hitch! Always. Well, yeah. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA One time he punched Jasmine in public at a party with enough force to knock her into a pool all because she'd been chatting with an ex-boyfriend.

For this offense he'd been charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, and he had a court date scheduled that December as a result. Jasmine, meanwhile, told friends she was in over her head and didn't know how to escape the marriage, especially because Ryan, the Canadian, was counting on it for a green card. He wasn't gonna let go Jasmine did however soon catch him having sex with another woman in their living room So she planned to file for an annulment but before that could happen VH1 came calling once again,

and in June of 2009, two months before the murder, Ryan left to shoot the third season of a show called I Love Money in Mexico. Yeah, you remember I Love Money? No! No, of course not. Is that VH1? I don't watch reality television.

You didn't watch VH1? Me and Ed didn't have cable in 2009. Are you fucking crazy? I didn't have cable in 2009. Are you fucking crazy? 1999 2009 yeah, that was already I was already living in New York I remember hearing you were probably in like hotel rooms watching it. Yeah, maybe that was before I was really working Yeah, 2009 you were poor you did not have cable either. I was broke. Yeah, well, I think it went until 2010. Oh, okay I just remember something. Yeah, sure. I just remember all these VH1 shows. I like VH1

I'd like VH1 when they played Rod Stewart And then late night video used to do these you just do the sexy videos Oh, yeah, well, oh like a wicked game. Yeah, and the Joan the Joan Jett song Well, do you want to touch me there? Oh She's a lesbian apparently Joe jet. Yeah, you barely tell I didn't know I Was shocked now the concept behind I love money involved contestants from all the VH1 Celebrity dating shows like flavor of love rock of love and for the love of Ray J competing in a series of physical and mental challenges for a

250 thousand dollar gram prize But as far as how the shoot went producers said that Ryan would constantly call Jasmine from Mexico So she could tell him where she was the night before and who she was with his jealousy was so ever present that it actually Became a season storyline, but as one producer later put it quote It was funny until it wasn't funny at all Such a reality show producer thing to fucking say The jealousy like when he was calling his wife his girlfriend's wife every single night asking where the fuck she was who the fuck She was with it was real good for like five episodes then it got boring

Yeah, then we realized oh, he's a uncontrollable murderer now once the season was done shooting Ryan returned to LA and convinced Jasmine that he had changed he wrote terrible poems and short stories in her honor saying that he had a huge spiritual awakening that would turn everything around. Your boobs are like clouds. Your hair is like clouds. Your eyes are like two green brown clouds. Your ears are there. So you can hear this poem and your feet by God I'd cut them off to keep you next to me. Is that bad end? Well you of course hadn't turned anything around and it only took another month or two

before Ryan back sled into not just abuse but murder. See on August 13th 2009 Ryan and Actually, can you take that back? Oh yeah. It was only a month or two before Ryan backslid into not abuse, but murder. Thank you. We'll be right back after this message from Quince. Live from your grave. See, on August 13, 2009, Ryan and Jasmine went to San Diego to attend a poker tournament

at the Hilton. Once Ryan and Jasmine sat down to play, they began making everyone at their table uncomfortable with their behavior. Jasmine because she kept making snarky comments and jokes at Ryan's expense, and Ryan because he was getting extraordinarily angry at Jasmine's remarks. Once the game was over, Ryan and Jasmine joined their group for drinks at the Ivy Hotel, but Jasmine spent most of her time

on the phone in the bathroom. The people they were hanging out with said that Jasmine kept sniffling, but when they asked her if she was okay, she just winked, which they took as evidence that cocaine was present on the night in question. These guys were really, this was a lot of partying was happening.

It's a ton of partying was happening. Oh yeah. It's a ton of partying. That was kind of their thing. They party obviously. Yes, they got married after a two day bender in Vegas. Yeah, partying was definitely their thing. Do you feel like they ever sat sober one time like having a rotisserie chicken or like hang out

and then just being like, you know what babe, there's something about this, it's like, doesn't feel right. Yeah. I hate just sitting peacefully on the couch with you watching television I kind of wish that we were somewhere doing cocaine and fucking screaming Like you think of sober people is just people who eat rotisserie chicken

Yeah, it's a normal thing for a couple of people who live in a condo in Los Angeles to do swing by Gelson's get a rotisserie chicken Yeah, of course there We should kind of talk about maybe our future if we're gonna date and he's like, oh wait a second all of this is a Horrible. I'm gonna go puke up this chicken Vegas Well, it was San Diego. Now every time Jasmine came back from the bathroom, Ryan would demand, screaming, to know who she was talking to on the phone. She said it was her mother, but neither Ryan nor the people present believed her.

The last time Jasmine was seen alive by anyone but Ryan was at 2.30am when security cameras caught her and Ryan standing at the valet booth. Two hours later, Ryan returned to their hotel by himself, and by 9am Ryan had checked out. From what police could put together, Ryan severely beat Jasmine in the car and possibly strangled her to death after their fight escalated. He then returned to the hotel and brought her body into their first floor hotel room through the patio doors that opened to the parking lot where there were no security cameras. Once in the hotel room, Ryan emptied out the suitcase and stuffed Jasmine's body inside. This we do know because

for some reason Ryan took three trips to their car that morning through an area where there were cameras carrying armfuls of clothes. Yeah, I think that that was a going to be long Tournament. It's a lot of clothes. Yeah, I'm false Maybe sometimes you overpack you want some options, you know, I recently did that, you know take a couple extra things You never know what you're gonna feel like wearing the day off. Natalie told me that is okay to overpack. Yeah, it's okay Totally okay to overpack I will say if you're gonna kill somebody and there you leave their body in the car You don't need to bring them into a public place. Yeah It could just be in the car

Well after loading the suitcase containing Jasmine's body into her white BMW Ryan drove a hundred miles to the city of Corona just southeast of LA once there He drove off-road to a secluded location and removed the fingertips and teeth from Jasmine's corpse in the backseat of her car, although we don't really know HOW he removed the fingertips and the teeth. Ryan then drove 30 miles west to Buena Park, where he dumped the suitcase containing the body into a dumpster before he returned to their Los Angeles penthouse condo at about 5 p.m.

Changing the name forever to Nobuena Park. Exactly. Mui Mal Park. Mui Mal Park. Two days later, Jasmine's body was discovered by a Corona local while they were dumpster diving for recyclables. By coincidence, that was the same day that Ryan walked into a Los Angeles police station and said that his wife had left to get her nails done, but had never returned. He already had like a half alibi.

He could have just said, we got into a fight in San Diego and she took off. That's one of the things that you'll see again and again. The alibis are never good because the alibis that are good, we don't hear about them because they're not news stories. The problem is that, let's just say this guy, he had a hard time sort of like not following his impulses. And so I think that's like, I think his main issue is that he's very impulsive. Long term thinking is not his strong suit. Well, Ryan still had a pretty good idea that his goose was cooked because before he'd

reported her missing He'd spent the previous 36 hours packing all of his shit into his car. Once he was ready He left Los Angeles for Vegas. Here's one pair of pants I've got 50 tank tops Here's my hockey stick Everything I've ever had. My real Rolex winked to myself. Don't even lie to yourself, Ryan.

Why are we still talking to ourselves like this? Well, in Las Vegas, Ryan picked up his speedboat, and then he turned north towards the American-Canadian border. I'm doing it the old fashioned way, the way our ancestors did. I'm taking Canada by the water. I gotta go get my boat that I keep in the middle of the desert. It's a fool. It doesn't make no fucking sense.

I gotta go by water. The only, the only legal way you'll wash yourselves on the shores of Vancouver. Drive it around the fountain of the Bellagios? Before Ryan had left Los Angeles, he'd abandoned Jasmine's white BMW, effectively the murder scene in West Hollywood, and the car was quickly noticed by authorities because the backseat was covered in blood. The wheels were covered in mud and the brush was stuck in by authorities because the backseat was covered in blood. The wheels were covered in mud and the brush was stuck in the undercarriage from Ryan's little off-road adventure.

And while Ryan had attempted to wipe away some of the blood, it seems like he gave up fairly quickly because it was very obvious that something horrible had happened in this car. This is like fucking crazy harder than I thought it was going to be. So maybe I could tell them, well, all right, yeah. Yeah, I had a super rare hamburger the other day. And I just said to the guy, I was like, whoa, this is a lot of blood, man.

Why you giving this to me in this paper bag, man? So this is all kind of a corporate issue we're gonna have to deal with with checkers. I'm just gonna dispose of this car in the most populated part of Los Angeles. Exactly, exactly. Right? A perfectly anonymous spot. Hollywood and Vine. Perfect. No one's looking for this here. The cops immediately issued an arrest warrant for Ryan Jenkins, but when they finally contacted him the day after he left LA, he told them he was in Utah and was on his way to Canada to resolve some immigration issues despite the fact that his wife had just been murdered.

Yeah, I had a big ol' appointment. I gotta go talk to the head of... Moose. Yeah! Thanks for answering for me! Oh, Jerry! Jerry, the head of Moose. Yeah, I know him.

I gotta go talk to Jerry. I know him. Yeah, he's a good friend of mine, so we'll come back there a while. We'll wrap up that murdered wife thing once I'm back in nine to 12 days. But the police were a hair too late to catch Ryan before he crossed the border. When they found his BMW and boat trailer abandoned at a marina in Blaine, Washington, the engine on his car was still warm. I smell hairspray.

That way! See, as soon as Ryan had reached the water, he unloaded his speedboat into the ocean and took off towards a small peninsula attached to Canada called Port Roberts Once he got there. He abandoned the boat and walked across the Canadian border by foot Could have driven a car He's just taking the boat to Canada. He could have driven a car. And so he's just walking. I mean, like, I know exactly how to get to Canada.

Go north! And just walk in a straight line. Well, I mean, he did definitely go there with the purpose of going into Canada. I think he just thought that... I think he thought he was a lot more important than he really was. My thing is I gotta stay anonymous. Everybody's coming for me. They, they all saw me on television I'm a known quantity

Alright, I'm a superstar Yeah, I mean he probably did think that he's somewhat of a I mean he is a F-list celebrity at this point Marcus G Yeah, even if that, yeah, because at this point, well, we'll get into it later where exactly the, his season of Megan Wants to Be a Millionaire was when all this happened. But the place where he went, Point Roberts, it's really interesting. It is still attached to Canada, but it's below the American border.

So even though it's part of Canada, it's still America. When do we, I guess we'll just suck that up or something? Yeah, we already have sucked it up. It's ours. Yeah. Now, we don't know if Ryan thought that going back to Canada was going to save him from the murder charge, because before the RCMP could track him down, Ryan took himself out of the equation.

See, upon entering Canada, Ryan rented a fucking PT Cruiser of all cars right look around which one of these do you want to die in I want to take the charger no they're up charging me on that it's crazy what they want to do like $600 a day for that do I want to do it the Tesla no not electric yes the PT Cruiser the ultimate suicide destination automobile after that he drove two hours to the small British Columbian town of hope where he checked into a place called the Thunderbird Motel that's ironic done nothing I like better than killing myself in a PT Cruiser in the town of hope three days later his lifeless body was found hanging from his own belt in Nothing I like better than killing myself in a PT Cruiser in the town of Hope.

Three days later his lifeless body was found hanging from his own belt in the closet of his dingy motel room So maybe he could see the PT Cruiser from the closet It was nice enough that he killed himself in Canada not America. That is nice Yeah, did it at home But once the murder of Jasmine Fiore and Ryan's subsequent suicide hit the news, VH1 was faced with what to do with Ryan Jenkins, the reality star. According to one of Ryan's fellow contestants on I Love Money, that was a Bucky from Flavor of Love apparently, Ryan actually won the competition that season. He crushed it.

He had crushed it. He was screaming at her all night. Oh yeah, all night. They're all like, this guy's hilarious. That's the only thing they thought. Well, he won all the challenges. That's what it was. It was like a physical and mental challenge thing.

So he just won the fucking challenges because he's a single minded dickhead. That's me. Yeah. Couldn't win the challenge of life, though. No, I purposely lost it. I chose to lose it. To make matters worse, Ryan's original introduction into reality TV, Megan Wants to Be a Millionaire,

was three episodes into its season when Ryan killed his wife and himself. With no other choice, VH1 cancelled Megan immediately and season 3 of I love money never aired at all and the president of the h1 He took those tapes as the tears came down his face and he put it down and the sacred VH1 vault Next to Rod Stewart's tiny pants and next to what was the other guy? Van Morrison. Oh, yeah, yeah tiny shoes And just cried a tear knowing that the single best season of television will never be seen. Where else are you going to see all the Paula Cole videos and the Natalie and Broglie?

We will not see Sarah McLaughlin crying! Speaking of VH1, they looked fucking awful because they'd let a domestic abuser and future wife murderer onto a dating show, a show he almost won. to VH1 they looked fucking awful because they'd let a domestic abuser and future wife murderer onto a dating show. A show he almost won. He was super castable. That should be the fucking comeback. He won. You know what I mean? Like if he didn't almost win we'd be wrong. Ah VH1? Yeah. We casted him correctly. They told Megan not to pick him. Oh wow, so then hands are clean, everything's fine. Well eventually, the mistake was traced back to an error made by a Canadian court clerk,

although I couldn't find out what that error actually was. But even if it was technically the fault of a third company, the production house that made Ryan's shows had to pay Viacom $12 million for the lost revenue due to the cancellations. As a result, the celebrity dating show effectively died out and never returned, all because of the actions carried out by Ryan Jenkins. So VH1s became the millionaire. So in the end VH1, they set them up, they gave them a bunch of money, they put them all together, they did all this stuff, and then they made money on top of it. Yep. That's America. That really is. That's America fucking giving it to Canada. Yeah, that really, yeah. Yeah, America does give it to Canada. Yeah, yeah, what are you gonna? Do now Megan doing? She's still around right now. She's been doing she actually made a little bit of a guy life doing She did Nancy grace a couple of times. He did a bunch of true crime shows

I love that little lady, but she actually she was nominated She won the Fox reality television awards ward in the year 2008 for favorite awkward moment from rock of love, too Oh, what was the awkward moment? It doesn't say But Mary Carey who is another who is a believe a poor neck No, she was just a playboy model and they were all they all got it They once I think that they they kissed or something. They did something together for three of them Brandy Cunningham was also involved I did watch Beauty and the Geek, but I don't remember her from it. I mean, I watched it sporadically Yeah, I think in a hotel room. It was kind of felt sad. It was very sad

Yeah, it's one of those that sounds like a fun idea. But then when you do it, it's It's really sad. And probably inspired a lot of evil geeks, you know what I mean? To want to even score. Yeah. Well, now we have another tale coming up. And so let's get back in the mood, Rob. Sometimes a woman, a man, or woman and a woman, or man and a man fall in love, and they decide to get the government involved. But the next thing you know, everybody's dead.

Newlywed to newly dead. Season 2! Right now! Season 2. This time, it's the wife. Yay! Yay! It's time for a bride to kill! This time it's the wife It's time for a bride to kill now It is exceedingly rare for a wife to kill a husband soon enough after the wedding for it to be considered a newlywed murder Despite everything yeah But for our other story today we were able to find a little tale that took place in 2013 where the wife was the perpetrator.

That year in Montana, a newlywed wife killed her husband just 8 days after their wedding. The wife and murderer here was a 22 year old woman named Jordan Graham, who had first noticed her future husband and victim, Cody Johnson, at a Taco Bell following a church service one Sunday evening. Yum. Christ. And the fucking Crunchwrap Supreme. That was probably, I mean hopefully you got a Maxi-Melt. Do you know they're back? Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, I'm having a good time. No pico for me.

But this is the thing, I do find it interesting that she decided to, like, this is another example of young murder. Yes. Young. Just 22 years old. Jordan and Cody officially met soon after at a Halloween party and began dating. But Jordan and Cody were one of those couples that just didn't really seem to make sense. Where Cody was a magnetic, talkative person, Jordan, the woman who eventually murdered

him, was shy and standoffish. But from what Cody told friends, he'd always wanted to marry, quote, a good church girl. And it was said that this description matched Jordan Graham perfectly. In my experience, good church girl usually means quiet and obedient. The goal is someone that is going to be, do a lot of free home labor, that will carry a child, and that will generally be silent. Yes. But no matter what the attraction was, Cody proposed in December of 2012 and Jordan said yes.

Oh! Now, Oh! It ends in murder, it ends in murder most probably. I just always love an engagement. No matter how it ends. No. Now Jordan told friends during the engagement

that she was the happiest she'd been in a long time. In fact, she even flew to California just before the wedding to compose a sort of wedding song with a company called Our Story, Our Song, who specializes in original compositions for weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. We gotta make one of these. I've been thinking about this in terms of like, you know... What do you want your song to be? 666 episode we should

666 I feel like there's something the idea of no and like we should start a process like a kind of a production company where we help Non-talented people to make music videos like Rebecca Black, the youth they do those types of things Yeah, we would do all to but it'd be great for like, we do the other side, funerals. Divorces. This is great. When bad news comes. When the worst things happen, yeah, we're there to make it better.

We're making it better. We'll help you make content for your husband's funeral. A one and a two, and a one, two, three. Jimmy's dead, Jimmy's dead. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy's never gonna be alive. Any great first take? Let's try it again. Jimmy's alive.

Jimmy's alive. Jimmy's alive. Jimmy's alive. Jimmy's alive. Jimmy's alive. Jimmy's alive. Before this next tape, let's think about Dawn. What would Dawn think? From what Cody's friends later said, his and Jordan's relationship was a one-sided affair, with Cody giving everything and Jordan contributing nothing. Cody's friends actually took bets on when, if the couple would divorce and they did so in front of Jordan Sometimes humor it does help alleviate some tension doesn't it it does it does help alleviate some tension definitely

But all of your friends and this is a tip if all of your friends are really publicly joking about when you are going to break up with your significant other. It's bad news. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They know something that you don't and you're not listening to the things that they are telling you that they know. It's creating an environment in which something bad might happen.

We can get serious about it or we can all just joke while we're hammered. That's what I do. But even though his friends told him to his face that the marriage was a mistake, Cody still tied the knot with Jordan in Montana's Woodland Park on June 29th, 2013. I'm getting married next to a tree. I don't fucking give a shit.

I do what I wanna do just like the wolf. Jordan, however, had doubts about the marriage immediately and texted this to her maid of honor the day after the wedding. Totally just had a meltdown. I'm completely second guessing everything. I don't know if all of this was the right thing to do. So much happened last night.

Just don't know. Continuing she wrote that she hadn't stopped crying since she got married. I'm talking. Never. Every minute. Every second. my eyes are wet And my mouth is making half noses My babies are going up and down with breaths

She said she should be happy, but she isn't I should be Look at me. I should be the happiest girl in the whole world Yeah, and instead the angriest lady in the whole neighborhood. And then she said she didn't feel like herself. No! I don't! I feel different! Jordan's friend told her to talk to Cody about all this, but Jordan refused. Now. Saying she didn't want to.

I don't want to. It has nothing to do with this. Yes, it's about our marriage. But it has nothing to do with how I feel. Well, she said she didn't want to hurt Cody does he seem so happy yeah? He seems to be fine with it not me though, and she never heard him right Not yeah I'm thinking about it Now eight days after the wedding Cody's stepfather asked the couple if they'd like to go kayaking after church Cody's stepfather asked the couple if they'd like to in Los Angeles. Well, Cody declined because Jordan had told him

that she had a quote unquote surprise plan. Yeah. As it turned out though, the surprise was her airing out all her doubts about their new marriage. Okay, Kade, I'm so glad that you joined me for this meeting. First of all, surprise, totally unhappy. I just wanna say I hate you, I hate your dick, I hate your attitude, I hate your clothes, I hate your vibe. I hate you.

Well, a predictable argument ensued, so the couple drove to Glacier National Park to talk things out in the presumably calmer environs of nature. I need to be next to a pine cone. And other than me enjoying myself, in order to release that dirt, then I have to hear a terrible, I must be amongst the dirt and the mulch. Nothing's like when you get in an argument somewhere and you're like, you know what, let's go to the middle of nowhere. Yeah. Hey, you and me. Hey, let me go check if the SUV's juiced up.

I want to make sure we can make it to the middle of the forest. Well, they arrived in the park just as the sun was going down. Then they parked Cody's car at the bottom of a hiking trail called the Loop on Going to the Sun Road. Might as well be called Hey Cody, Get Murdered Here Road. You know, keep going, keep driving. No, we're not, we're not, we're not hitting enough. I mean, romantic enough. Yeah. So let's keep driving, keep driving. Good We're not we're not we're not hitting enough that I mean romantic enough

Mm-hmm since keep driving keep driving good It's good now even though the Sun was already below the horizon Jordan and Cody got out of their car and embarked on the trail where the argument only got more heated You don't love me enough to argue with me in the dark in the middle of the web Dare you to argue with me by this log I dare you to argue with me by this log. I dare you. Well, eventually they left the trail and edged their way along the bottom of a rock wall, all while the argument continued.

So they're like, kinda like talking, they're walking on top of a wall? Yeah, like they're kinda sidling up along a rock wall while they're just like, Fuck you, fuck you! Yeah, fuck you! Do you have any of that weird sound that you use for hands to grip on the tiny little hard edges of the mountain but as Jordan later testified the two of them finally reached the edge of a ravine they're way off the hiking trail now there Cody grabbed Jordans arm which prompted her as she said to yell at him because she didn't know if he was gonna push or pull her let it go!

Yeah. And in a flash, Jordan grabbed Cody's hand and brushed it away. Get off me! Then, as Cody stood above a 200-foot drop, Jordan lost control completely and pushed him in the back with both hands. Whoops! Oh... Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o That would be right at home on a fucking schmaltzy TV drama like Grey's Anatomy his heart literally tore open Whoa his heart actually broke for Cody for Cody. Yeah, he just seemed like a normal guy

Well, let me know she left Cody to die. Alright Cody, yell two times if you're alive. Alright I'll take this, I'll just take the silence. I'll just move on, I'm gonna go hit my t-bone. Well she went back to their car and drove home, but as she left the park she texted her friend and told her that she was freaking out and didn't know what to do, although she stayed vague as to what had just happened. It was so fucking crazy. Cody said to me, he said to me that a little boy with a feathered hat came into his house the other night, right? And he took him to a land of little pedophile children. There was a whole pedophile island that he went to with these little pirate boys. And they went and they, he came back and he said all he had to do was be, all he had to do was be positive and he'd fly. And I said, oh yeah, I guess you're

positive for being a dickhead. So he jumped off the cliff or whatever. Well Jordan did seem to compartmentalize the murder quite well almost immediately. At the same time she was frantically texting her friend about not knowing what to do, she was also calmly texting a member of her church about rescheduling an upcoming couponing event. I'm not letting that fucking bitch Beverly get that four for five ragu sauce deal ahead of me. Canceling it.

My husband's gonna be dead. Oh, totally, that's fine, absolutely. Actually, and next week, Sophie's husband's gonna be dead. Can we do two weeks from now? Now once Jordan got home, she immediately saw the need to create a story that very night. So she called her brother at 11 15 p.m. and told him that she and Cody had just gotten into a big fight. It's crazy. I disappeared. I went into a totally white area where I was downloaded with a bunch of information of how to use guns in Kung Fu. And he was right in front of me. And we went back and forth. And this guy, you had believed, he flew in the air. It was crazy.

He landed on the edge of a branch and he just hovered there. And I was just, I was such scowl. I was like, you scowling me Cody! Get off that tree branch Cody! I'm sorry, I wasn't listening sis. Well a brother came over to her house and Jordan told him that Cody had gotten a text message from a friend inviting him to join a group of guys in a dark car with out of state plates so they could go riding around for a while. You know Cody!

You know how to stop. It's called stranger carpool. You've never done that? Yeah, when a bunch of guys show up to the house and they all got out of state places. I'm always looking at people's license plate when they show up to my house. I don't know if they're all in state or not. Down and out. For just such an occasion actually.

You're not from here. Well that she said was the last she'd seen him. But when Cody didn't show up for work the next day his absence was keenly felt because Cody was the type to show up On time every day without question Jordan meanwhile waited until 430 p.m. To send a message to one of Cody's work friends to ask him Hey, did Cody come in today? Yeah, but if they cut it out friends said. So Jordan repeated the story she told her brother. But this time she added some color.

This is what these people do. This is why they always get in trouble. Is that every time they tell the story, they think of a couple more details to add in. And they think more details is gonna make their story more believable. Guess what? It's not.

And sorry, Marques. It's called world building. And this is all about building more. Well, Cody's hobby was fixing up race cars. I'm sorry, Marques. It's called world building Well Cody's hobby was fixing up race cars So Jordan said that he had left with some mysterious car buddies to go to Washington State They call them zoom mates Pretty passive homosexual activity inside of race cars. And I feel like... Passive? What is passive?

You just lay there. Naked together? Just pet the penis. It sounds somewhat active. If you're passive and you're with an active, you're not gay. You're passive. And you're with an active. And the active is doing all the machinigigna and you're just getting the blugna

And that's what the vroom boys do But the thing is that she started telling different stories to a bunch of different people She told others that she'd followed the car Cody left in to the small town of Hungry Horse She told others that she'd followed the car Cody left in to the small town of Hungry Horse before she lost track of it And the conflicting stories made Cody's work friends think that maybe Jordan had something to do with her husband's disappearance No, I'm a private eye and I often follow cars. Now. I know how to do it properly What's an Hungry Horse in Twin Peaks? Above a Hungry Horse it does yes Yeah, I think that actually I think I think that's what I think that's where Bob was. Yes. Yeah, that's where Bob was.

He was at Hungry Horse? Yeah, he was living above at a convenience store. No, it was the one-armed man. He lived above the convenience store in Hungry Horse, Montana. Whoa, that's crazy. It's connected. Yay! You're changing up the shirt off.

Yay! I got my trippy shirt on at the car. Yay! It is it. It is it. It is it. It is it. It is it. It is it. It is it. It is it. It is it. It's crazy, it's connected, yay! You're crazy, that's a shirt on! Yay, I got my trippy shirt on and I'm going crazy!

Yay! It is in, it's in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where Leo Johnson was arrested. Whoa! And held in jail overnight. No shit, season two, you're not in that episode yet. Oh yeah, Leo Locked Inside a Hungry Horse. That's what it was, that one.

Yeah, well right now, Leo's a vegetable. Yeah. Yes. That's gonna get real weird you're gonna like that cool yeah well the conflicting stories that Jordan told all these different people that made Cody's work friend think that maybe Jordan had something to do with her husband's disappearance she wouldn't fucking fooling anybody so the friend decided to do a little detective work of his own. He drove to Cody and Jordan's home where he found the back door unlocked. He let himself inside and tried to find some evidence of what had happened to Cody. But since Jordan had murdered him in the park, he found nothing and left before Jordan returned.

Cudu-less! Can you fucking imagine? I wondered whether or not to leave that in there because of that. We're reading this great book right now about storytelling and like always be escalating and that did not escalate the story in any way whatsoever. It was a meaningless meander. Went to the house, door was was open snooped around saw nothing Would you can you imagine looking into a missing co-worker?

Yeah, well, that means they were friends their work friends and good friends at the same time I mean it like like back in the day when we were working like offices and shit. Yeah, can you imagine? Looking for somebody. Yeah, I think there would be like some people I'd look for but most people I just be like oh we gotta hire somebody to replace this Jordan meanwhile had predictably taken to Twitter to post about her missing husband And she was spending her time driving around with her friends to look for him. Her friends, however, noticed that Jordan didn't seem all that worried. And she spent her time in the car giggling and texting

instead of looking. Sucking on a Jamba Juice. He's in a better place now. And I don't mean he's dead. It's probably like New Orleans. Even a mean he's dead. It's probably like no, I don't even a hungry horse is nice Well, that's about the time that the cops asked Jordan to come in for an interview. I'd love to do an interview Now for some reason Jordan changed her story entirely from the one she'd been telling friends and family for days instead of the car buddy story

days. Instead of the car buddy story, she told the cops that Cody had left while she was out running an errand. The cops, who were very polite to Jordan throughout, told her that they felt she wasn't being totally honest with them. You'd say that to tits? How fucking dare you'd say that to tits? That's my new name by the way. Even so, Jordan was let go after only 30 minutes of questioning. Now at this point, Jordan started to panic, so she decided to help along the story a little. The morning after she talked to the cops, she returned to the police station, claiming that she'd received a mysterious email from carmantony607 at gmail.com. I can't even believe the other girls have put

what kind of man he was in it. It read, quote, This is what Tony said. My name is Tony. There's no bother looking for Cody anymore. He's gone. A Saturday passed on Twitter and thought I would email you. This is from Tony.

He had come with some buddies and met up with me on Sunday night in Columbia Falls. He was sad and needed to be with his buddies for a bout. And take him for a jaw ride. Tony sang. And then emailed to me. I'm Jordan. He's a car man. You're a car man?

To 607th. You wouldn't believe. So, three of the guys came back saying that they had gone for a ride in the woods somewhere and Cody got out of the car and went for a little hike and they were positive We fell and he's dead Jordan I don't know who the guys were You say they took off to call off the missing persons report Cody's gone for sure. This is from Tony Wow, I didn't say for a second second there, I was super nervous.

But good work! Again, clever and arrowing. Here you go police. Here you go Mr. Police. Now obviously this email was written and sent by Jordan herself. Fuck you now, Eric! But the cops probably figured Jordan's not going anywhere, and sooner or later she was going to lead them to Cody's body herself.

And that, of course, is exactly what she did. The same day that she and her mother went to the police station to report the email, she led a group of friends out towards Glacier National Park, because the park, she said, was where Cody liked to take friends visiting from out of town. If the car buddies came, then that's where he's gonna take them, because they're so beautiful. They according to some of the research I did... Why did you suddenly turn into your mother?

So weird. It's a word. It's a word. According to some of the research I did, Zoom mates, they work in packs, and they like to go outside. And that's just something from the research I've done about Zoom mates. Well, the group stopped at the same loop where Jordan and Cody had parked a few days earlier. And almost immediately, Jordan started walking towards the area where she'd pushed her new husband off a cliff, because she was pretty much ready to kind of put a button on this whole thing and move on.

Can you even imagine what it would be like if he was thrown from this cliff? Jordan's brother, however, told her that it was too dangerous to go down there, and he stopped her from going any further. They then left, but returned the next day to the same spot to hand out a missing persons flyer to park goers. If you see this corpse, please let us know. Have you seen this flat, man? But Jordan just couldn't stay away from the area where she killed her husband, and when

her family asked her why she was so interested in that area in particular, she said, quote, I just have a feeling. And sure enough, after she finally reached the spot and looked into the ravine, she told the people with her that she thought she might have spotted something. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo ooooo ooooo calmly walked away and got into her car with her bridesmaid who drove them both out of the park. Jordan began rambling and said now that they had found Cody's body, she could finally call the detective working the case and quote, Get him out of my business. Yep. Jordan's calm demeanor also disturbed the park ranger who had her fill out a witness statement that day.

Furthermore, when he asked her how she knew where to find Cody's body especially since it was so far off the trail She said that it was a place that Cody had wanted to see before he died Directly in the seconds before he died Might say it was the last thing you wanted to say I mean I gotta go drink some water so I can crack this is where my husband's body is I'm gonna go now Yeah, a place. He wanted to see before he died. It was the park next to his house A place he wanted to see before he died. It was the park next to his house Meanwhile that same morning one of the detectives on Cody's case was walking his dog when he just happened to find himself in front Of Cody in Jordan's home working off a hunch. He opened the garbage can Jordan had just left on the street for collection

Inside he found love letters, stuffed animals, and part of Jordan's wedding dress. She's house cleaning real fast. Just to understand. To part her own wedding dress? She did. But this is, remember, this is what cops look at. And it's what private detective looks at too. This is exactly what you do. The first thing, you don't understand how much evidence you put in a garbage can. So the cop dragged the garbage can back to his house, dumped out everything in his garage, took photos, stuffed it all back in the can, and dragged it back to Jordan's. And this was before the cop even knew that Cody's body had been found. See Jordan effectively throwing away anything having to do with her and Cody's relationship,

that's not necessarily evidence for murder, but it definitely showed that Jordan was already trying to put the marriage behind her While her husband was supposedly just missing if your husband was Randomly dead you would save everything well. No that's the thing is at this point like he's not even officially dead He's just like at this point. She's still saying he went he went out. Oh, yeah the email I forgot about the II forgot the email told her that he was dead I forgot a well trusted imaginary friend of mine told me what was happening So uncreative He was a car man, okay, so many carmen Tony's

607 all right how many carmen are there one? two three Jarden Jarden Jarden Jarden at gmail.com That's for me Now when Cody's memorial in Potluck was held a few days later, some of Cody's, I'm here, it's true, nice.

Okay, it's Montana, the memorial in Potluck. You have a Potluck at the memorial. Some of Cody's friends noticed that his widow, who should have been devastated after losing her husband a little over a week after getting married, she was laughing, socializing, spending a lot of time on her phone Meatballs on fire, you know, I thought there'd be more carmen here

Carmen shut up. This is so disappointing. I gotta talk to Carmen Johnny The see that Carmen Freddie I'm gonna talk to car man Johnny Pretty soon the FBI got involved and once that happened it was fucking over for Jordan They not only traced the mysterious email from Tony as having been sent from Jordan's parents house that morning They also came up with security footage Are you saying that her mother is the car man? My mom is implicated Mom oh my god, tell me you guys to do it on mine Well, they also came up with security footage from the night Cody died, which showed Jordan and

Cody entering Glacier National Park together. Jordan was brought in for questioning again, and after retelling the car buddy's story, she was shown a photographic still of her and Cody entering the park. All she could do at that point was cry. And she was arrested on the spot for first-degree murder The during her trial the defense argued that Jordan had a childlike personality that had become overwhelmed at the prospect of become overwhelmed at the prospect of marriage. The murder, they said, was a tragic accident, and she'd only lied because she didn't think anyone would believe her side of the story.

She'd pushed him, yes, but she hadn't meant to kill him. The prosecution, however, was able to argue intent. And that is very important for first degree murder. Oh yeah. They said that the area where Jordan pushed Cody off the cliff was well off the beaten path. And they actually had to climb over a retaining wall to get over there. And I'm really trying to, I'll never blame Cody for this, but guys, don't do this. Do not do this. You go to the most people.

You go outside. You go where there are witnesses and humans. You don't cross to a deeper terrain when you were in mid-fight, ever. Go to a poker tournament in San Diego. Do it there! Cody's friends also testified that Cody would never go off trail on a hike, which meant that Jordan had probably convinced him to go there. If that was true, then it could be argued that Jordan may have planned to push Cody

off a cliff all along, just so she could get out of her marriage without having to go through a divorce. I blame what Looney Tunes did to me. And told me that the Wile E. Coyote was somebody to look up to. But in the end, just as the defense arrested its case, it seems like either Jordan or her lawyers recognized that they were fighting a lost cause. In a turn that shocked everyone,

Jordan very suddenly pled guilty to second degree murder. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but will probably serve far less, which means she might be released this decade. If so, Jordan will be in her mid to late 30s upon re-entering society, and if she does end up marrying again, let's hope that this time, she's ready. That's not even that bad of a punishment. It's really not. Yeah, 30 years in prison, second, well, she pled guilty, second degree murder, you know,

you probably get out after 15, 20, 18 tops. Yeah, 18 tops. She's getting out on parole, absolutely. And I think that this is the time for us to really talk about second chances. If you just look at her, she's cute. You You know I'm looking at Jordan Graham right now and I just think that honestly there's some lucky man out there that's going to make an honest woman out of her. I can't wait. Just make sure she's honest about being ready. You really need to be ready when you're going to a marriage. The key to ask her when you're going to ask her to marry you is to be like, are you ready? Ask her twice.

And if she says yes twice, then she's gotta be legally ready. Legally ready, yeah. Sign a prenup if she kills you, then she won't get all the money. That's a great idea. Yeah. That's a great idea. Specifically if she kills you.
