Hey weirdos, I'm Ash.
And I'm Alena.
And this is Morpid. I'm not gonna sing in the centro because I feel like I sing a lot of intros in, so I won't
do that to you this week.
Hey, you know, you do you.
Thank you!
There it is.
That's totally kidding.
So I think before we start an Ash-centric episode,
hello there, hello.
We just have a couple of things we wanted to mention.
One being that, Hello Week is coming up.
I'm literally so excited.
Guys, it's gonna be so much fun.
We're doing shows for Australia, Europe and North America,
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, of the week, what are the dates?
The week leading up to Halloween.
The week leading up to Halloween.
Uh, we put a link for tickets in our bio on Instagram.
YAH, or you can find tickets at where?
On LocationLive.com slash morbidworldtore.
Yay, so make sure you go there, get some tickets.
We're doing meet and greets like a virtual little meet and greet. We sure are and it's gonna be a lot of fun.
There's a poster. There's a poster, the really cool poster. Yeah. And we're gonna theme it
for every like the specific region that we're targeting. So an Australian case each, a European
case each, and a North American case each. 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.
But not really.
One of them really does.
Very loosely for two of them,
but one of them definitely, like hardcore.
So make sure you're looking out for that.
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,
like stolen body parts, you know,
craziest serial killers from the 70s.
It can really get you in the Halloween mood.
It really can.
And it's like a good little, like, it's quicker.
You know, it's like quick, like, 30 minutes and stuff,
so it's like a digestible little list.
Yeah.
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. 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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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,
because I like to show you things
that are very exciting in person.
That is true.
Thanks, Bob.
You're welcome, man.
All right, well, should we get into it?
We should get into it.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm like, girl.
So quick.
Oh, wow.
The detectives obviously did not think
that this was a coincidence.
No, no.
Me either.
Good.
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
