And each show is going to have a different costume. That's right. That are doing three costumes each. They're like kind of relating to your places, but not actually.

Also, make sure you, if you haven't yet, go check out our podcast show that As and I host called Crime Countdown. It's top 10 lists of all kinds of cool things,

Starting point is 00:03:44 You know, you need your true crime fix, and if you don't want to start an episode and be in the middle of it, like a morbid episode, if you're run into the grocery store, I feel like crime countdown is like the perfect thing to put on. It really is. If you're running out for an errand, it's perfect or like cleaning. And I mentioned this because our Halloween episodes are going to be a lot of fun. There's some really cool categories that we're doing. So I think everybody will dig it. Definitely go give it a look so that we can keep doing it forever because it's are gonna be a lot of fun.

Starting point is 00:04:08 cause it's so fun and we love park asks. And I never wanna stop. And then the last thing I just wanted to ask everybody and this is not like business, this is just me wanting to be like, hello everybody, let's chat. Yeah, you briefly brought this up to me and then I was like, wait, wait, let's do it on the air.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yes, because this has been bothering me for days. Okay. So, there, Ash, I will give her full credit, has introduced me to the world of TikTok. You're welcome. I'm now obsessed and I can't stop watching. You know what it is? Younger millennials need to help out the older millennials.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Yeah, you need to Sherpa us into the TikTok world. And you did. And we also got John into it, which is unbelievable because John is literally Ron Swanson. So the fact that he's into it is huge. I never thought that would happen. But so, will, so somebody, and I don't remember who, so if it was you, definitely like tell me and bang me
Starting point is 00:05:01 over the head of this information. Yeah. Somebody tagged me or sent me a message and was like, have you seen this weird TikTok account that showed up a couple of weeks ago? And it's called, you shouldn't be looking. And I just looked for it because I was going to show Ash. Now I looked at this last night.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And I'm asked. There was probably like 12 videos. And they have 115.3,000 followers Yeah, one million likes wow and I went to show her and it's scrubbed clean Yeah, there's no videos there, but it says no content So we were in the middle. This is like how far we got in the conversation and then I was like well What was on yeah, like what were the videos and then I like, wait, let's do this as we're recording. So it's called at, you shouldn't be looking.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Right, I don't wanna, but now I do. The name is you shouldn't see. Yeah. And they were these short videos that were just shit like somebody filming in the pitch black down a weird dirt road in the middle of the night. But like were they saying anything?
Starting point is 00:06:03 No, nothing. So they were just shut off. And then there was another one that was a, and you see this person's hands. It's definitely a man. And it looks to be an older man, like middle aged man. And he's got cuts all over his hands. No, no.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And he's dirty fingernails. Because he was staring at the fucking grave. And when I say cuts all over his hands and his arms and his dirty fingernails. Because he was staring at his grave. And when I say cuts all over his, like the tops of his hands and his arms, it looks like a cat literally demolished his arms and his hands. And it, I don't know if it was self-harmed scars
Starting point is 00:06:38 or what, but there was a lot of them. They were very obvious, very like, were they scarves or were they like fresh cuts, okay? And he one video is him with a suitcase and he's drawing. All you see is the suitcase and there's like dark fluid leaking out of the suitcase. And he would play these like old-timey music over some of them? Like jolly music? Yeah, like jolly music. Like, um, I'd like, and of course I can't remember. No, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:07:06 If I asked John, because he was like, wow, the music, I showed John less, I knew he was like, the music choices are really good for me. I love that that's when he got out of it. He was like, this is really creepy. He's like, that's probably human blood. Wow, what a great song.
Starting point is 00:07:18 He's like, this is a jaunty tune that he's playing over. Oh, fuck. And then there's another one where it's like night vision and he's covering up something with leaves, but you can't really tell what's playing over. Oh, fuck. And then there's another one where it's like night vision and he's covering up something with leaves, but you can't really tell what's going on. What the fuck? There's no speaking in it whatsoever. And they're quick, they're weird.
Starting point is 00:07:34 There's another one where he is throwing that same suitcase over a weird bridge in the middle of the night. Oh. And yeah, and there's like fluid leaking out of it all over the bridge that looks to be. Okay, wait. And you see his feet briefly and he has covered his feet in plastic. Okay, that's fucked up and now I have a theory. And I'm a fucked up individual for this being my theory.
Starting point is 00:07:57 What if he like, like videos a Siri, like his murder, like he like murdered somebody and now he's like cleaning up. What if that was one person's murder and now it's wiped clean and he's gonna do a whole other series of videos with another person? Honestly, here's the thing, because it's like, there's that and then there's these weird videos of him like
Starting point is 00:08:18 in a weird room and a house and you can't really see it. It's very weird and very like abstract. But like what is he doing in the room? Nothing. You just see him filming a window up in an attic. And then it just cuts off. What? The fuck?
Starting point is 00:08:32 And then there's another one where you see this desk that he's sitting at, and he's flipping through this notebook, and it's this weird TikTok sound playing over it, of this girl being first draw this, and then draw this, and he's like flipping through this weird ass sketchbook with papers and trash everywhere. Oh my gosh. It's the scariest thing I've ever seen. And then there's one video of like water, like a weird like swampy water. Yeah. And then another video I saw was him in the woods and he's filming a train going by. Oh, fuck that. And then he pans over to what is clearly a body under a sheet. No.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Or something that looks like a body in the sheet and there's like clothing next to it. Oh. And then it just cut off. And then it's, and now I look today and it's everything's gone. Everything's gone. Okay. Number one, here's my big problem with you right now. I'm actually angry with you.
Starting point is 00:09:25 We constantly send each other TikToks. Why did you never send me this? You know why? Because last night I was looking through it and I was like, whoa, what is this? And then I showed John and then I fell asleep. Cool. I love that you fell asleep after watching that.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And also, I have another theory now. I have a theory too. Okay, maybe he's just like a super creative dude and he's like doing it for the Graham. Well, here's my, I have several theories about this. What? It could be an interactive game. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:52 That people are supposed to be looking for hints. Maybe there's a chat room somewhere where everybody's talking about it and it's like a hunt a killer game in real life. I was gonna say it's hunt a killer via TikTok. By the way, go get hunt a killer. They're awesome. But for real, maybe it could be that too.
Starting point is 00:10:04 It could be some weird art thing that they think is, I mean, I don't know why they're doing that because you look in the comments of these and you could see from the beginning, people were like, oh, this is fake. And then I'll send people were going, this is no thing. Oh, no, I think this is real, guys, is someone going to call the police. Like, people were literally like, did you see his hands? Like, what? And he looks older. This is weird. Like, I love that we're mad because he's older. I know like any's older.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And he's fucking old. No, it just doesn't seem like something like a grown-ass adult would do. It seems like a teenager would do. Right, especially if it was like for art or not real. But then also there's the, you know, the possibility. Wait, I'm like old people don't like to play games. Yeah, of course not. Old people. Meanwhile, he's probably like 40. What's the possibility of Wait, I'm like, old people don't like to play games. Yeah, of course not.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Old people. Meanwhile, he's probably like 40. What's the possibility of him playing? So then there's the possibility, because as we remember, kids did find suitcases with dead body parts that make all on TikTok. So shit happens, that's weird. Maybe this is the next step that killers are taking.
Starting point is 00:11:03 TikTok. Using TikTok to film their shit and then scrubbing it clean. But here's my issue. Nothing is ever scrubbed clean. But maybe they don't care. Because if you look at the hashtags too, that's the other big part of this. He used a ton of hashtags and they were always like very manic and very like, don't look at me. I can't stop. Oh, please help. Oh, fuck. Oh my god. I have like spinal chills.
Starting point is 00:11:30 You were very, very manic and very alarming. And it was, and it seemed like someone reaching out. So I was almost like, is he doing these things? And he's like, help me stop. Oh, shit. Now I'm having like a panic attack on here. And maybe he started this shit because he wants someone to find him to stop. Yeah. I'm just saying. It's like the, oh my god, the crybaby killer. Yes. Like for God's sake, when somebody gonna come stop me. Oh, oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:11:58 And if it's not, then I mean, No, my arm is gonna make a movie about this Yeah, my fucking goose bumps right now. I Because it's truly crazy and I just wanted to see if any of our listeners had seen this or if you had you know Obviously could be either thing. I would never I would love to say that it's very farfetched that it's real But it's really not farfetched anymore with the way the world is who the fuck really knows nothing it's very farfetched, that it's real. But it's really not farfetched anymore. With the way the world is, who the fuck really knows? Nothing in 2020 is farfetched. But holy shit, if it's not real, kudos.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Because you did the... You scared the nation. It was immaculate the way they did it. Wow. Just enough information. Never overstepping to the point where you're like, oh, that's fake. That's too much.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Like, it was always to the point where you're like, oh, that's fake. That's too much Like it was always to the point where you're like that could be real right because you never gave too much right It's just weird shit weird environments very dark very dark very disturbing so I don't know what aiden knows about this. Oh, yeah We should ask our nephew needed. Yeah, I got to ask him. Seriously shout out to Nathan. Hi, Nathan. What's up? What's up? What's up, guys? What's up, Nathan? Oh my god. Wow. But yeah, I had to talk about that because. Damn, holy shit. Oh, wait, this is good. I mean, this case is like very terrifying, but like that's, wow. Wow. Yeah. Shit. So we really set you up for some more. Yeah, you sure did.
Starting point is 00:13:23 All right, wow. Yeah. Shit. It's a lot to digest, and I'm sad. I can't believe I just selected it's gone. I'm like, I'm sad that it's gone, but also grateful that I never had to see it. I'm pretty excited that I did see it. I'm pretty angry with you right now. I mean, we'll see if later when there's an ID discovery story about this, that I can be like,
Starting point is 00:13:43 I remember that and I was watching that. Yeah, and I could have remembered, except I showed you TikTok. You did. I showed you. I created you. I think I also thought in my head, I really want to show her this in person,

Hi, I'm Lindsey Graham, the host of Wondries Podcast American Scandal. We bring to life some of the biggest controversies in U.S. history, presidential lies, environmental disasters, corporate fraud.
Starting point is 00:15:17 In our newest series, we look at the Kids for Cash Scandal, a story about corruption inside America's system of juvenile justice. In Northeastern Pennsylvania, residents had begun noticing an alarming trend. Children were being sent away to jail in high numbers, and often for committing only minor offenses. The FBI began looking at two local judges, and when the full picture emerged, it made national headlines. The judges were earning a fortune, carrying out a brazen criminal scheme, one that would shatter the lives of countless children
Starting point is 00:15:48 and force a heated debate about punishment, an America's criminal justice system. Follow American scandal wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad-free on the Amazon Music or Wonder App. So it's the morning of May 26, 1990. It is. Right now. No, back then. And Marlene Warren opened the front door of her floor at a home to someone who was dressed as a clown. And this clown had flowers and balloons. Shut that door. Yeah, fuck that. Literally, you see a clown and I'm like, I'm out.
Starting point is 00:16:18 And before Marlene saw what else, the clown was holding. She was handed the flowers and the balloons. And she made a comment about how pretty they were. And literally, next thing, she was handed the flowers and the balloons and she made a comment about how pretty they were. And literally next thing she knew she was shot in the face. Oh yes, okay. Is it not the scariest thing ever? I mean to me the scariest thing ever is anybody coming to my door? Yeah never mind a clown. Nope. Who also shoots me in the face? In the face.
Starting point is 00:16:46 In the face. So when the saddest thing is, she thought that all these gifts might have been from her husband, Mike, because they had been having some serious problems lately. Nothing super crazy. They were just arguing here and there. They owned a few businesses together, so I'm sure that added to the stress. Yeah. The stress exactly.
Starting point is 00:17:04 They owned a car business. they owned rental properties together, and Mike himself owned some resources. And they were doing really well for themselves. They lived in a super expensive neighborhood in Wellington, Florida called the Arrow Club. The Arrow Club. And it was called the Arrow Club because there's a runway that runs through the back of it.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And literally, like, people have, people have pads where they land their planes. So you can just fly your private plane home. Oh, so very middle America. Yeah, just like super wholesome, yeah. What the hell? So they had been married for like 20 years. And Mike was a great stepdad by all accounts because Marlene was married once before.
Starting point is 00:17:45 She was like super, super young when she got married to this guy named John Ayrons. And the reason they got married super young is because Marlene's stepdad was in the Air Force and she would have had to move to Europe if she still lived with them. So she just got married to her boyfriend, I think, which, you know, doesn't always work. And it did like that. And I couldn't find anything to say it was like super tumultuous or anything like that. It's just when you're like forced into it kind of. Yeah, it's like.
Starting point is 00:18:09 It doesn't work out. So they had two sons together, Johnny and Joe. And this is really sad. Johnny had unfortunately passed away two years before the clown knocked on the door. He was in like a really horrific fatal car accident. Oh, that's so sad. You know, so it was just Joe left. So Joe said that he remembered his mom opening the door
Starting point is 00:18:28 that morning after a white Chrysler LeBaron pulled up in the driveway. And he said, his mom took the flowers in the balloon. She said, oh, my, oh, how pretty. And he thought then he heard a balloon popping. But he realized that the clown had pulled out a pistol and shot his mother directly in the face.
Starting point is 00:18:47 What the fuck? Like point blank range. That's terrifying. Oh shit. Like, what? So she fell to the floor and there was people over for breakfast that morning. Joe had his friends over for breakfast. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah. So, oh my god. So she falls to the floor and everyone comes, like rushing to her side and Joe tried to chase after the clown to get the clown to stop, but he had just gotten some kind of accident and he broke his leg. So he was in like a super bulky leg cast.
Starting point is 00:19:16 No. And this is the creepiest fucking part. Like everybody who was there that morning said that the clown calmly walked away after shooting Marlene. Like Michael Myers style. And literally just walked back to the, also white Chrysler LeBaron,
Starting point is 00:19:31 like very recognizable. Oh yeah, that's a very conspicuous car. So he said, he chased after the clown, he tried to trace, but obviously his leg is broken. So we can't chase. And he said, the clown turned around and looked at him briefly before continuing just to slowly get in the car and slowly drive away.
Starting point is 00:19:51 That's a legitimate nightmare. Like, I was watching, there's I'm a 48 hours about it and I was watching it. And the pain in this kid's eyes as he is like PTSD, clear. Oh, of course. And he's like a grown adult now, obviously. But like, you just saw your mother shot in the face Right by a clown right and then you tried to chase said clown and it turns around looks you dead in the face
Starting point is 00:20:12 Right, and it gets in a car and drives away casually all slowly That's like the scariest part of this whole entire thing. Like you can't even make that up. No So Jo and his friend who had been over for breakfast like like I said, they hop in the car and try to find the little Baron, but they were never able to catch up. So this clown just fucking disappears into the day. Because this is more than the middle of the day. It was literally 11 o'clock in the morning. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And it's like, what? So they try to catch up. They're not able to. He was able to, though, give the police a description of the clown. So the clown had an orange wig, all white and red make up, a big red clown nose. Yep. And only brown eyes were showing. He said, I know that the clown had
Starting point is 00:20:55 brown eyes because he look good for him. He or she looked me directly in the eyes. And it was like a big clown costume. So like I just said, he or she, because he Joe wasn't sure whether it was a man or a woman. Clown is a perfect way to hide that. Yeah. And the clown was wearing like regular high top shoes, not clown shoes. Ew.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Right? I don't know why that's gross. I don't either. And I was reading it and I was like, oh, like I need to put that in there. And then I was like, is it weird that I just put that in there? No, I don't know why that's gross to me,
Starting point is 00:21:24 but it's like, it adds to the creep. Yeah. Because you're wearing these big ass clown pants with human shoes. Oh. You know what it fucking reminds me of? Donnie Darko. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:35 When I think the clown in Donnie Darko is wearing regular shoes. I think you're right. I think Frank is wearing regular shoes. Yeah. Oh, I don't like it. Yeah, it's a Dark vibe. Yeah, it is. It's a dark vibe. So Barleen was still alive.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Oh, good. Yeah. She was rushed to the hospital and immediately she was put on life support. Oh no. There was a bullet lodged in her spinal cord. Oh. And unfortunately, a lot couldn't be done to save her.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Tips came into detectives just three hours after Marleen was shot saying to look into her husband and a woman who worked for him and a woman who worked for him. I'm gonna fuck her up. Always. And this woman worked at the used car business bargain motors and her name was Sheila Keene. So Sheila was 26 and she had a son of her own from a previous marriage. She did car repossessions for the business and everybody said that she was the perfect person for the job because she was aggressive, fearless, and if worse came to worse,
Starting point is 00:22:35 she, if worse came to worst is what I meant to say. She, like, carried a 38 caliber pistol for protection. Oh, so there you go. Boom, cut and dry, right? Donsky. Wrong. Whoa. Wrong. Wow. So it was a gun that her husband and her had owned together previously, but they were now separated, like divorced. And there was a lot of rumors about Sheila being like a don't mess with me type of lady. All those rumors were true, which is a good way to be. Yeah, of course. Yeah. But there were also rumors, and this is not a good way to be, that she and Mike were having an
Starting point is 00:23:08 affair together. Oh, fuck her. Exactly. And fuck him. Some employees even said that they got caught having sex in the office. That's disgusting. I'm not one, but multiple occasions. Divorce your wife. Right, I don't understand that. What the fuck? I don't either. Holy shit You can have all the sex you want in the office. Why don't you divorce your wife? So but here's the problem a lot of their businesses We're in Marlene's name. Oh Exactly, so that was a problem So when detectives finally tracked down Mike
Starting point is 00:23:38 He was miles away in a car with some of his friends headed to a race track So there was literally no way that he would be able to dress like a clown, kill Marlene, clean himself up, and then get dressed, and make it look like he was super far in the road. Yeah. It was just humanly impossible. And there was multiple people in the car to back up the timeline. And I just feel like this worked out perfectly in his favor.
Starting point is 00:24:00 It's like, oh no, I was going to the race track. I was miles and miles away. It's like very convenient day to be miles and miles away. Of course. So whatever. Detective start following up on the tips into Sheila and they start looking into her. So they went to flower shops and grocery stores all around the area trying to narrow down where the balloons or the flowers came from. Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. Which was really smart. And they were also calling costume shops to find out about the clown costume.
Starting point is 00:24:27 And they called these women, I hope I say the name right, Barbara, Kastricone, and Debra offered. And they worked at a local costume shop. Okay. And they had some interesting information. So they told detectives that two nights earlier, a woman had come in just as they were closing.
Starting point is 00:24:44 And she was like super adamant about seeing the clown costumes, which on any day is fucking weird, but especially now. So one of the women was like, oh, like, can you come back the next day, because we're closing right now? We can't show you all of our clown costumes. Yeah, exactly. And Sheila, I mean the woman, that they needed something right then and there. And then whoever it was, Sheila, brought a clomcastum separately, an orange wig, a red nose, and some white makeup.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Wow. So whoever, whoever. The level of dumb. I'm like, you're gonna buy that distinctive of a costume. I mean, don't go and kill somebody anyway in any kind of costume, but that costume. And that costume and going to a costume shop, like not just getting, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:30 it just seems like you're really pinpointing your style of fear. You're asking for it. And to like ask people about the clown costumes, to like make another trail. And to be like super adamant, like, you need to be like, like, going in the middle of the day when there's a ton of other people there, just, you need to buy like more
Starting point is 00:25:48 than one thing. You're a dumbass. Yeah, you're stupid. I like that we just spelled out for people how to do this in the future. So cool, cool, cool. So the detectives asked the woman to describe, like, the super pushy customer, and both women described somebody who looked a lot like Sheila Keen. Because it was her.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Yes, and then they were pretty sure it was her when they were shown a photo lineup. They like pointed her out and they said they couldn't be 100% sure, but like they were like very, very sure. Pretty sure it's this bitch. Basically they, I think they like didn't want to be wrong, but they were like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Yeah, because I imagine that must be really difficult to be like, I know it's that person, but like, what if that tiny little chance, it's not, and I fuck their whole life over, like, so you're like, I'm pretty sure it's her. I think so. So, luckily tracking down the balloons turned out to be a lot easier than they thought,
Starting point is 00:26:36 because the two balloons were like very distinct balloons. One of them said, she's real dumb. She's real dumb, and she's terrifying, because one of these balloons said, you're the greatest. What the fuck? Isn't that so? First of all, terrifyingly creepy,
Starting point is 00:26:50 but also like, what? And then the other one had snow white in the seven dwarves on it. I hate everything about this. It's like, what the fuck? And I think, I don't know, just to add to the creepiness. The flowers and pretty sure were carnations.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Oh, wow. I hate carnations. I don't like carnations, be they? So in Snow White, I feel like, and sorry for all the Snow White heads out there, but I think Snow White is like a really weird ass tail. Oh, I do, it's very, I mean, seven men are just living with this.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Like, and she's literally there to like clean for them. And then the whole falling into a coma shit, it's just weird. It's a very weird thing. I won't let the girls watch it. Really? I didn't let them watch it. I didn't let them watch Snow White. Yeah, it's weird. It's very dark. So that's a weird one to put on a balloon for this. So yeah, Snow White creepy creepy and you're the greatest creepy creepy. The detectives are able to determine that the balloons were bought at this grocery store called public grocery store. Oh, yeah, yeah, they
Starting point is 00:27:47 Those are like still around. Oh, I have them here. I thought you were kidding. I was like, I thought you were like, oh, yeah, like Oh, yes, no, they're like a real thing. No, I never heard they're not around here though. No, so the employees there gave them a similar Description to the woman at the costume store Sheila and when they looked at the time that the balloons were purchased It was 9.22 in the morning, and that was just an hour and a half before the shooting. Jesus. So she did this that day. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And I love that these people, I imagine they're just like, you know what? She looked like a Sheila. Yeah, it's weird. I think her name was Sheila. She looked very Sheila-ish. Do you know what I mean? I think she said her name was Sheila.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yeah, she does, I like, I sniffed and I was like, oh, is that Sheila? That's a Sheila vibe. You're gonna do a Sheila stench. She's not a Sheila. She's a nebby. What's that from? You know, a Sheila, your nebby.
Starting point is 00:28:33 What is that from? I don't know idea. Wow, I don't know. I don't know. I need somebody tell me. Anyways, so another Sheila vibe. She only lived half a mile away from the fucking grocery store. Wow, Sheila.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I'm like, girl. So quick. Oh, wow. The detectives obviously did not think that this was a coincidence. No, no. Me either. Good.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I mean, some would. So I am glad that they didn't. We're not dealing with that, like, you know, we're not. So they go talk to Sheila. And so meanwhile, back at the hospital, Marlene unfortunately was being taken off life support. Oh, Marlene. I know. Marlene's mother Shirley had got a call telling her what was going on. While she and Marlene's stepfather were like vacationing, visiting their friends in Arizona.
Starting point is 00:29:15 And you get a phone call that says your daughter was shot in the face in her home by a fucking clown and is on life support. You would think that was a prank call. I'd be like, no. That whole thing did not happen. No, you can't put all those things together. Exactly. So they fly back to Vegas where they lived and then they got on another plane
Starting point is 00:29:34 and they promptly went to be by Marlene's bedside. Marlene's son Joe was there and this really pissed off Shirley. Mike was there because- Oh, I would want to fuck that guy up. Oh yeah. Well, I do want to fuck that guy up. Oh, I do too.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Like, presently. You're going to want to in the end as well. I want to murder him. So Shirley told Peter Van Sant from CBS News that Marlene had recently confided in her that if anything happened to her, Mike did it. That, and it's also like, if you ever have to say that in your life,
Starting point is 00:30:08 you gotta get out. Run. So she has far away from it. I'm not blaming anybody. No, of course. I'm blaming her anything, but it's just like, please know that if you are ever saying the words, if anything is to happen to me,
Starting point is 00:30:20 blame this person that I'm still currently in a relationship with. I know. Get out. So here's the thing. I think because I couldn't find a lot about like her wanting to leave or anything like that, but I think it was overshadowed by like just like the craziness that is this case. But I think her mom said like, please come live with me. And it seems like she might have been planning to go.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah. So I think she was. It's always too late. But it's also especially in this case, it's so tough because they have all these intertwining things that connect them in it. Businesses, like that fucks you up. Yeah, it's just, oh, it's always hindsight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:54 And it just sucks so much. It killed me. So Shirley knew that Mike had an airtight alibi, but that didn't mean that he wasn't involved. Yeah, like, you can have an alibi. That's actually even, I think that's even more perfect. You have an alibi for you. Right, but it doesn't, I mean,
Starting point is 00:31:10 that somebody who you have hired to do this, and to do this. Exactly. Exactly. So, and then we're gonna get into this later, but I don't think that Mike had to do much convincing. I don't think this was his plan. I, if somebody's willing to do this,
Starting point is 00:31:26 I don't think they need a lot of convincing. No, exactly. It sounds to me like somebody who does this was gonna do this eventually. It's a little bit of a cuckoo nutman, a little bit, or woman, we're inclusive here. So unfortunately, Maureen was taken off life support two days after the shooting.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's really sad. And the bullet removed from her spinal cord was determined to be from either a 38 caliber pistol. Oh, that sounds familiar. Yeah, you know, like the one Shirley had. Oh, that one. Yeah, or oh my god, not Shirley. Shirley's the mom Sheila. Oh, she's the one she had. I'm so sorry, she's a Sheila, not a Shirley. And they couldn't be sure that it was a 38 because there was also a possibility that it was from a 357. But it was one of the two guns. So that's a red flag. It's a good little piece of something to connect later.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Right, and it made the detectives even hotter on Sheila's trail, obviously, because she had a 38. So they came knocking at her door and Sheila told the detectives that the morning of the shooting, she was out doing car repossessions, but the bummer was that she couldn't remember any of the cars that she had repossessed that but the bummer was that she couldn't remember any of the cars
Starting point is 00:32:25 that she had repossessed that day. Oh, that's stinky. I feel like if you have a car repossession job, you're stoked to go out and repossess cars, and you know which ones you're looking for. Because if you're in that business, you're like, let's do this. Yeah, you're like the people that give tickets
Starting point is 00:32:39 on Newberry Street, and you can't remember one. Right, not one. Like you said, you were out all morning. Yeah. You must have, like that must have been at least a couple. Yeah. So cool, cool, cool. I love that for you.
Starting point is 00:32:51 So strange, you know. She also told them that she had misplaced that gun about a month before the shooting. Oh, you know, so clumsy. I just lost it. Like I would get full. Like I would lose my wallet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I hate when I lose a gun. And so stupid, because the thing is you don't lose a fucking gun. And remember, she had a child. Yeah. If you did lose your gun with a child in your home, like your child should be taken away from you. There's more issues here at hand. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:33:17 So cool, cool, cool. She also denied having any relationship whatsoever with Mike Warren, just a good friendship. So like, she denied having a romantic relationship, I should say. I don't believe you. Yeah. And you know what, neither did the neighbors, because when they were interviewed,
Starting point is 00:33:32 they said that they saw Mike Warren coming and going from Sheila's house so often that they thought he was her husband. Dear God. They thought he was her husband. And it's like, dude, you can become her husband if you want. Like nobody's trying to stop you. The marriage.
Starting point is 00:33:49 And you know what? I feel like Marlene was like the kind of person that would just be like, cool, like fuck right off the end. Get the fuck out of here. I'm keeping my business, but fuck you. You can go be with this lady. Oh, you can call her a talk. She's a plot.
Starting point is 00:34:02 In this case, she's a plot. She's a real plot. So when Marlene had's a twat. She's a real twat. So when Marlene had told Shirley, like if anything happens to me looking to Mike, she also said that Mike was hardly ever home anymore. So it's like, this is just all adding up. I feel so bad. And oh, you feel so bad.
Starting point is 00:34:16 And he really stopped being around as much when she needed him the most, when her oldest son had died. That's when all this started. Wow, so he's literally a monster. A fucking monster. Right, and I mean, I'm pretty sure that she married him when her kids were young. Like, so he was their dad, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:35 like for all intents and purposes. And her surviving son Joe said that. He was like, he was like our dad, you know. And here he is not giving a shit. Exactly, so shitty, shitty, shitty. It makes me so angry. But luckily the police had a good case going. Unluckily, their evidence was really just circumstantial.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Of course. Which sucks. But that was until a car was found just four days after the shooting, you know what I'm saying. A car matching the description of the one that that calm clown was just driving away. That labarro. Labarro.
Starting point is 00:35:07 And it was found, it was so funny because when you were saying the grocery store that's like, you're like, oh yeah, they're out there. Yeah, yeah. This is a Windixi grocery store. Oh, there you go. And the only reason I knew what that was is because of Windixi.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I figured, yes. Thank you. So the Lebarron is there. And when they check to see who the Liberian belonged to, this is like such a twist. It had been stolen from a car rental place called Payless. Ooh. Like Payless.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Like Payless shoes. Yes, that's why I said it like that. Like Payless cars. Right. So this is where the story, like I said, I guess we're there. Mike Warren knew about Payless because he had been sued by that company.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Huh. Yeah. For running an ad that looked exactly like theirs, his was kind of supposed to say like pay less as two separate words, but that was like the one word that their company was. But in the ad, there was barely a space. And they were like, yeah, like people are going to call you instead of us. Like, that's, you can't do that. No, no, no, sir.
Starting point is 00:36:02 That's not today. And so the last people who rented the Liberian were a couple and they ended up calling bargain motors, Mike's used car place instead of pay less where they rented the car from. So whoever answered the phone at bargain motors told them to leave the car on the street and put the keys in the visor. I'm willing to bet who that was. Yeah, same as the East. So the couple thought to bet who that was. Yeah, same ziz. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:25 So the couple thought it was like weird, but they were like, okay, like why would we question that? Right, exactly. So cool, who do you think the next person was to drive that LeBaron? Oh, I don't know, I can't, I can't even begin to think. I feel like it might have been Sheila. Oh, yeah, yeah, Sheila.
Starting point is 00:36:42 So inside the LeBaron detectives found strands of long brown hair Just like she elas long brown hair. Everybody that described her She had like almost like hippie hair like parted in the middle and like super super long and thick like brown-ass hair I bet it was shitty. Yeah, I like hate to say this but she actually had nice hair in the beginning. I bet it's smell gross Well, she definitely smells gross and later on her her hair sucks. And I actually talk about it. So they go. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:07 They also found orange fibers that looked exactly like the ones that came from that clown wig gross. So that's cool. The only issue was that DNA testing wasn't really advanced in the early 90s. No? No. So the results just came up similar
Starting point is 00:37:23 when they compared it to Sheila's hair, which is no good. And the clown wig and clown costume was never found. Really? Never found. I wonder what that bitch did with it. Or the gun, the gun was never found either. Oh, I want to know where it is. I mean, they left it in Florida, so I feel like there's plenty of places where she could
Starting point is 00:37:38 have just swam somewhere. Exactly. Or like some weird ass random body of water. But they were lucky because they did get a search warrant for Sheila's apartment. And Sheila's apartment was just nine miles away from this one Dixie's grocery store. So she's doing this at all these
Starting point is 00:37:52 local ass grocery stores. Yeah, it's like girlfriend, do you think you could maybe drive more than like 10 minutes down the road to do any of this? Yeah, and just like clear the odometer, so they can't tell. Like a what a lazy son of a bitch. Exactly. So they go into her apartment and they got some more samples of her hair Yeah, and just like clear the odometer so they can't tell like a what a lazy son of a bitch exactly so
Starting point is 00:38:06 So they go into her apartment and they got some more samples of her hair and They found orange fibers consistent with the ones found in the Lebaron on shea was clothing Gross, but again, that's really just circumstantial evidence. Yeah, so they can't do a lot Yeah, this is like there's orange, and there's here too. Right. Because I can be anything. Exactly. And unfortunately, it's just like, it's not a strong case, so they don't want to go with it yet until they get something better.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Because it could definitely fall apart, and then she would just walk. Exactly. And never mind. Uh-oh. No. Okay, so looking back into Mike too, because the Liberian was connected to him and bargain motors, now they could get a warrant for bargain motors. And goodness, she sucked so much.
Starting point is 00:38:47 I know, and they did get the warrant. And they didn't find anything to help in Marlene's case, but they found enough evidence to get Michael Rusted on charges, are you ready? Of racketeering, brand theft auto, odometer tampering. So like I said, she really good of cleared that one. Which is like Matilda. I know that's what I literally wrote that in here
Starting point is 00:39:09 and in Charen's fraud. Wow. So like I'm literally picturing Matilda's fact that. That's literally what I'm picturing is Danny DeVino. Yes, exactly. Danny DeVino, I love your work. I have to throw them in there
Starting point is 00:39:19 because people get mad at me now if I don't connect to two-in-girls. You got it. Okay, so yeah, he was immediately arrested, obviously. And he actually served four years in prison. Not enough. But no, not enough. And they were never able to connect him to Merlein.
Starting point is 00:39:33 That's fuck, which is really, really fucked. So where is he? Well, hold on. So, well, hold on. I just want to talk. He's actually pretty local, so we could talk. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:44 There's a lot of gray area between the years. Mike got out of jail in 2002. So it's like, I think, I don't know exactly what year they got in, but it was in the 90s, like mid 90s and then to 2002. Okay. Mike argued with Marlene's son Joe about who should keep the house and Joe got left with like nothing.
Starting point is 00:40:01 That pisses me off. Right. And this is really sad because like I said, Mike was basically his dad. And they were like completely disconnected now and he was basically abandoned. And he actually had a really hard time for a while and he got into drugs obviously to like cope
Starting point is 00:40:18 with the loss of his mom. Yeah, he was going through a ton of shit. Really going through a ton of shit, but this will make you happy. I put this in the middle on purpose. Okay, good. He really turned his life around and he started his own construction company and he said in 48 hours that he owes it to his mom because he learned so much from her when he, because she would take him to like the rental property. Yeah. Anytime they fixed
Starting point is 00:40:39 anything and if he said if she couldn't fix it herself and she could fix almost anything herself, she'd hire someone and whoever she hired, she would have Joe watch them fix it. I love that. And he was like, I learned so much. Oh, good for you, Joe. Oh, I love Joe. Good job.
Starting point is 00:40:56 So back to the shitsdains. In 2002, Sheila moved away with her son and got married in Vegas to this guy. Oh, good. She got married to this guy. Oh good. She got married to this guy named Mike Warren. Okay. They got married. Oh, it was the mic.
Starting point is 00:41:11 The mic Warren. Oh, shit, I forgot his last name was Warren. Yes, she married Mike Warren after claiming that they had no fucking romantic relationship. I'm not shocked at all. And you're like the primo suspect in his wife's murder and you're gonna go get married? That's so flagrant
Starting point is 00:41:25 They don't care. No, they don't care at all Yeah, and I'm like you literally said that you weren't having a relationship in the first place and now you're getting married Yeah, you're pieces of shit like at least be honest and be like yeah, we were having a fair But if you're gonna lie be like it didn't have anything to do with her murder obviously Exactly, and then they'd be like, yes, it did they obviously think everyone around them is not as smart as them, but in reality, they're fucking idiots. Oh, and they're like assholes too, and I'll get into that.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I mean, yeah. So they settled down in Virginia, and they opened a fast food restaurant in Tennessee, because I guess it's like just like right over the border right there. I don't remember much. Called the Dulcery in Murder. Oh, no, it's called the Purple Cow.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Close. Similar. Yeah, they were cow, so there is. They were, yeah. And Sheila was going by Deb or Debby cow. Close, similar. Yeah, they were cow, so there it is. They were, yeah. And Sheila was going by Deb or Debby now. Oh, cute. Because she said that's what her dad called her when she was younger. That's weird as fuck, Sheila.
Starting point is 00:42:13 That's not your name. Yeah, that's not your name. That's not a cute story. That just means your dad's dumb and he didn't know what your real name was. I think it was her middle name. Whatever. Wait, that's her name. You know, Sheila, your Debby, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:42:24 That is weird. Sheila Debby, what the fuck? I'll say, like, that's not your name. No, that's not your name. Whatever. Wait, that's what she, you know, she like your Debbie. That's weird. That is weird. She'll a Debbie. What the fuck? I'll say like, that's not your name. No, it's not your name. That's not my name. So she also, now this is when I get mad about her hair. She died her long brown hair. This horrific fucking shade of what she wants to say is blonde. I just looked up and googled and I saw it. It is not blonde. No. I don't know what that is. It's it's broad. It's yeah, it's like It's fucking nasty. It's not a color found in nature. No, it made my stomach turn and I hate to say this But it wasn't professionally done and I'm not hating on you if you boxed out your hair because Elena boxed out her hair And she does great job. I'm so thank you. You're welcome
Starting point is 00:43:00 So anyways, and please at the purple Cow remember that Chebby. That's what I'm going to call her from now on. Sheila Debi. Chebby and Mike were difficult to work for. Oh, you don't say. Right. If something was even slightly wrong, like they would not let you hear the end of it.
Starting point is 00:43:17 And people really tried their best not to get on their bad side, because there was a rumor at the Purple cow that Chevy had killed Mike's wife and did it dressed as a clown. Oh, a rumor. Yes, a rumor. A rumor. A rumor. You know what they say about rumors.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Now, this is going to send you through the roof. Oh, no. They would dress up for Halloween at the purple cow, at the purple clown, at the purple cow in one year. And I will post this picture on Instagram so you can all go through the roof as well. Shebi dressed like a fucking clown. What a cunt.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Not even a cunt, like, what is wrong with you? Holy hell. Like just to be that blatant, like you might as well dress up as a fucking middle finger. She has a surviving child, you absolute piece of shit. Yeah, I know. Ugh, I'm in so much. Tell me someone has like tried to take a bat
Starting point is 00:44:10 to this woman's face because holy shit. Well, I'll tell you later where she is. So don't worry. I just wanna talk Sheila Debbie. Shebe, I'd like to have a convo. So don't worry, she gets hers. God help, so. DNA testing like we know got better.
Starting point is 00:44:24 It did. And in 2013, like we know, got better. It did. And in 2013, the detectives working on Marlene's now cold case were not giving up. Like they were so fucking good. Because they know that she did it, they just need a stronger case. I hate those cases where it's like everyone knows who did it, but you can't nail it.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Because there's that little, like, you know, one fucking juror will mess it all up. So they started requesting all the witnesses to the shooting, anybody that worked with Mike or with Sheila and they just got the case like ramped up again. And they said it was gonna take time, but they were hopeful that it would end with Sheila
Starting point is 00:44:55 and handcuffs. So Mike and Chevy retired eventually and they sold the Purple Cow in December of 2016. Okay. And then they thought they were gonna live super happily ever after, and there's gorgeous second home, in the mountains of Virginia right on the lake.
Starting point is 00:45:12 But fuck you guys! Fuck you guys! And also this house is like, I'm like, wow, you wanna pretend like you're poor later on, because she does, and I'll get into it. I'm like, okay. Okay, ship.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Okay. So it all came crumbling down one day in 2017. Oh, yay. Okay. So the police set it up to look like a road blocker at checkpoint because they knew that Mike and Cheb, you were gonna be pulling through this little spot. I love this.
Starting point is 00:45:35 And they didn't, they reason that they didn't like go to her house and arrest her is because like they thought she was like not gonna go willingly. Yeah, so they were like, let's make this theatrical. Obviously. So officer Dewey Fulton. Dewey? Dewe, let's make this theatrical. Obviously. So, Officer Dewey Fulton. Dewey? Dewey. I literally... Get out of here! I go fuck yeah, Scream vibes. Deputy Dewey. Deputy Dewey. Pulled them over and asked for Mike
Starting point is 00:45:55 Stryver's license and then went around to the passenger side and was like, oh, can I see yours too? And she handed him her little Tennessee fucking license or whatever. And he was like, as soon as I read her license, I said, can you step out of the car please? Because you're under arrest for the 1990 murder of Marlene Warren. The feeling. The feeling, the feeling. 27 years later, this bitch got away with it for 27 years.
Starting point is 00:46:21 And now Shebby had the right to remain silent. Yes! Goodbye, Shebby had the right to remain silent. Yes. Goodbye Shebby. Oh, what a release. So she was booked in Virginia. And she's like, you probably saw it if you looked it up. She's smiling in her booking photo.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Oh yeah, she's like, she's in downright cherry. Yeah, she's fucked up. Well, she looks like she's posing for like, like she's at like a Christmas party and she's posing literally. Literally. We're all having fun. Like, oh my god, let's do secret Santa after this.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Someone put a lampshade on their head. This is wild. Ah-ha. So she was quickly extra-dited back to Florida to stand trial, excuse me. And the prosecutors say that there was now, because there was this new DNA testing, obviously, they tested all the evidence again,
Starting point is 00:47:05 and they won't say what happened exactly, but they say that it is sure to end in like a rock solid case. So Chevy will remain behind bars after trial. So we're still waiting for a trial? Yeah, because of COVID, actually. Fuck COVID. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:47:20 God. So it keeps getting like pushed off and pushed off because originally, again, she was arrested in 2017. Yeah. And then there was like, I'm gonna get into it, all these things where she tried to say she was indigent. Is that how you said? Indigent, indigent.
Starting point is 00:47:35 So, okay, so Mike were and told Peter Van Sant, again, that guy from CBS News that Marlene's mom talked to. Yep. And she was like, yeah, she told me that you should look into Mike if anything happened. And on Mike's talking to. Yep. And she was like, yeah, she told me that you should look into Mike if anything happened. Yep. And I'm Mike's talking to the sky and the sky's like, I'm gonna fuck up.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I'm gonna fuck you up something to do with this. But Mike said, if I thought she had anything to do with this, I wouldn't have been with her. You're an actual idiot. It's like, no, if you had any respect for anybody at all, you wouldn't be with her because she was the number one suspect in your wife's murder and you know it as well as everybody else does. Even if you knew she had absolutely nothing to do with it,
Starting point is 00:48:07 which, come on, like lie. You would still be with the woman who was the number one suspect. Yes. When most people's mind is the murderer of your wife. Like, you think that you were gonna get away with that for like another 27 years? Okay, bud. Like, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:48:21 You have to walk away from true love, Mike. Yeah, true love. So, so Chebby also maintains her innocence and she writes all these letters to Mike and her mom from jail as in mate number 0 0 9295 6. Oh, I just wanted to like say her in mate number. I'm like, fuck you. Fuck you, girlfriend. Hate you. All of Sheila's mail is being collected and copied by the prosecution in case she like slips up or admits anything. So far she hasn't. She found God in prison. Don't they all. I know she got baptized. Don't they all. Yep. And then she wrote to Mike, God knows I wouldn't hurt anything or anyone. That's not me. And I know the world is still full of evil and wrongdoing, but that is not me, and I pray that the world
Starting point is 00:49:06 could be a better place for everyone. First of all, fuck you. Yeah, should be please. Second of all, anybody who finds God in prison finds God because they teach you that whatever you did, God will forgive you if you just find Him. You're just trying again to have a way. It's a dead giveaway that you did it.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Because if you were innocent, you wouldn't be trying to find something to justify what you did. Exactly. You know who else found God in prison? Son of Sam. Most of them fight. Yeah, exactly. Everybody.
Starting point is 00:49:36 You know who else did? Jeffrey Dahmer. Yeah, so I'll give you eight people. So how do you feel, Shab Shab? So cool. So according to the Sun Centennial, that's where I got the quote that I just read from her letter.
Starting point is 00:49:46 They also say that Shabby's lawyer is the super high power defense attorney, most likely costs a lot of money I would assume. They say that he's not worried about the prosecution using Shabby's mail at trial, because he said there isn't going to be anything that's relevant to the case. No good. And he was mad about it. He's like, you know, like prisoners need, like, deserve rights.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Like they wouldn't be reading her mail if she was out on the outside. Like that's a felony. And it's like, she doesn't, they could probably get a search warrant for it. Yeah, exactly. And also she sucks. And like, she's in prison.
Starting point is 00:50:17 So she doesn't have that right. And now, so she lost that right when she went to prison. Or she lost that right when she shot somebody wearing a costume. When she like shot a mother, who's, who she was like fucking her husband behind her back. Yeah, exactly. So yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Thank you, though. Yeah, good try, though. Thank you for that lesson in morality. Good try, Richka. Yeah. Someone in any case, Shebby could be in trouble, like I said,
Starting point is 00:50:38 because she claimed herself to be indigent. What did you say? Indigent. Indigent, sorry. It's like indigestion. It is. So she said she's poor. And she filed a motion claiming that she needed the Justice
Starting point is 00:50:49 Administration Commission to help her pay for like all these outstanding fees from her case. And the only problem with that is that, like everything that she and my cab together is adds up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and assets. Doesn't sound too indigent to me. No, exactly. So WPTV wrote this article about it, and that's what they said. So hopefully we'll be able to get more information on when the trial is going to happen,
Starting point is 00:51:15 because like I said, it just keeps getting postponed because of COVID. I want it to happen. And according to an oxygen TV article that I read, Shebby is enjoying watching TV shows like America's Got Talent and reading Danielle's Steel novels while she's in solitary confinement. Ew, can you imagine knowing that she's watching you on TV?
Starting point is 00:51:33 No. And also I love that they had to put her in solitary confinement so that nobody would kill her. So nobody would beat the shit out of her. Exactly. So that's annoying. And it seems like some of her letters to Mike saying that she hasn't so bad in there,
Starting point is 00:51:45 might be exaggerating a little bit. Might be a bunch of bullshit. Yeah, that's cool. Wow. So, I'm, hopefully we can do an update to this case and find out and we can read her Verdi- Verdi-Gil-Tic to tell you the same. Hopefully we can read that Verdi-Gil-Tic. That's a guilty verdict.
Starting point is 00:52:00 I, once the Rona clears on out of here, Oh my god, I'll go to the trial. I want to see this so bad. You will definitely do an update on this. On the whole shit. She obviously did it. The fact that she murdered someone wearing a clown suit. It's like, why? The other thing too is it's like, I think what did I say? It was like, May? I'm like, yeah. Why did you wear a clown suit? Yeah, what was the meaning behind it? And that's why I want her to get like the guilty verdict. So hopefully she'll crack at some point and just admit that she did it.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Right, and then we can finally hear like, why, like I know why you did it because you're like a filthy piece of shit that you were, you wanted to sleep with her husband. But why the clown suit? The only thing that I can think of for the clown suit is, oh, oh, I didn't even fucking say this. I think that Marlene liked clowns because you should watch the 48 hours documentary on
Starting point is 00:52:49 this. I got a lot of information from there, but I left out some stuff, obviously, because I'm not going to write the whole episode for brevity, for brevity. But I think Marlene liked clowns because she painted clowns when she was younger. And that's even weirder. In the beginning of the 48 hours episode, her mom is showing these two paintings, which are amazing. The fact that she did these when she was a teenager is incredible.
Starting point is 00:53:11 And there are two clowns. That is even more fucked up. And now her mom has a clown room in her house. So I think that Marlene maybe liked clowns. And I think because of the flowers and the balloons, she was supposed to be sending it off as like, is that called like a, not a telegram? So like a singing telegram thing.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Yeah, I think that's what it was supposed to be like. Oh. So she even, I think she went even further and like used something that she liked against her. Because she knew she'd open the door. Exactly. Because normal people, because that's what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:53:42 I was like nine times out of 10. Right. Somebody seeing a clown at the door is gonna be like, nope was thinking. I was like nine times out of 10. Right. Somebody seeing a clown at the door is gonna be like, nope, no. And shut all the lights off and hide. Right. And wait for them to go away. Well, especially now, and then they also talked about,
Starting point is 00:53:53 now that we're just chatting, they also talked about, you know, remember in 2016 how there was like that crazy scare of like clowns? John, you still like clowns everywhere. Yeah, yeah. Like the guy on the door. Because I was terrified. It was scary. I'm sorry if you're I'm the door. Because I was terrified.
Starting point is 00:54:05 It was scary. I'm sorry if you're a clown. I am terrified of clowns. I used to cry at the circus. You cried at the circus. I did. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:13 My dad made a clown apologize to me. That's the best thing I've ever heard. I love that. But in the 48 hours, they brought that up. That whole 2016 scare. And it was like Joe was having a really hard time during all of that Marlene survive. Oh, I can imagine.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Because it probably just brought back all, because the clowns in 2016 were fucking terrifying. And they were everywhere. Everywhere. And they were just being weird. Yeah, and like literally just like walking behind your car or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:39 So yeah. Wow. Nuts. I'm so glad that Joe is doing so well. I know. And I- And I- And I- And I know, and I- And I really hope that for Joe, I hope he gets to see some fucking dress.
Starting point is 00:54:50 I know, and I hope that somehow Mike gets, like, I hope he's involved somehow to the point where he can be behind bars as well. I hope so. Because you can't tell me that he did not know this was happening. No, if they were having an affair and she killed her, that would come on. Right, come on. And then it's like you go to prison
Starting point is 00:55:08 and then pretty soon after you get out of prison, you go marry her? Marry her? Yeah. Okay. If you really gave a shit about your wife at all and this was just like a stupid affair that happened, there's no way in hell that you would marry that woman.
Starting point is 00:55:21 No, there's no way. The other thing that's annoying is then you go on and you live basically the same life with this woman that you had with Marlene. No, there's no way. The other thing that's annoying is then you go on and you live basically the same life with this woman that you had with Marlene. You just open a business together and you get a second, like a beautiful home. It's like, that's exactly what you do with Marlene. And if I was surely, or not surely, I would say that,
Starting point is 00:55:37 if I was Sheila, I'd be like, well, what happens when he offs me? Yeah, but she's not worried because she did it. Exactly. So she's like, no one else is gonna do it. Exactly. And it's like, Joe one else is gonna do it, exactly. And it's like, Joe is still alive. You're ch- like her child, who you fathered.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Right. It's still alive. You're flaunting that right in front of the face. And you're just like, you don't give a shit. Like, your shit is more important than that kid, and that's so fucked up. Exactly. And you just left him.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah. So much wrong in the face. You know what, Mike, if you're listening, go fuck yourself. Honestly. And Sheila can't wait to see you get a guilty verdict. Bye Shab Shab. Bye Shabby. So yeah, that was the case.
Starting point is 00:56:11 The really, really fucking sad case of Marlene Warren's murder. That's truly fucked up. And I really can't wait to see Shabby get what she deserves. Me neither. So if you want to see all the pictures of Shabby, especially when she dresses like a clown. Oh, I want to see that. Unbelievable. I'll post that one.
