This is exactly right.
We at Wondery live, breathe, and downright obsess over true crime.
And now we're launching the ultimate true crime fan experience, Exhibit C.
Join now by following Wondery, Exhibit C, on Facebook and listen to true crime on Wondery
and Amazon Music.
Exhibit C, it's truly criminal.
So hi.
Hi Karen.
It's time once again to talk about murder.
Murder.
Murder.
Welcome to my favorite murder.
Hi, welcome.
That was Georgia.
That's Karen.
And we are here to talk to you about the thing that you want to talk about the most.
Because we do too.
Murder.
That your friends don't want to talk about.
You know what?
Some people are fear based and that's fine.
That's the way they live.
They want to put their hands over their eyes and pretend like reality isn't happening.
But not us friends.
No, some of us want to just like jump into the pool of terror.
Yeah.
So there's an old saying, you have to go into the mouth of the ghost.
That's what we do here.
We are the ghost mouths.
We are adventurers into ghost mouths.
So suck it.
Hey, did you see that the house from the first season of American Horror Story, The Haunted
House, you can now air B&B that house?
Can we record an episode from there?
That brick thing that has like the turrets and stuff.
It's like a gothic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like arts and crafts gothic.
Where the guy from the law show lived and like they had the maid and stuff.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
I liked that first season a lot.
I had to choose.
Spending the night there.
Middle of the night, lights off, quiet, we'll do some ghost hunting.
Ghost stuff.
Ghosty stuff.
Was there a murder taking place in there?
No.
Aside from the TV show?
I know.
No.
Just, but it is a creepy old house.
Yeah.
I'm into that.
I mean, maybe the murder hasn't been found yet.
We'll dig up the yard.
Maybe it'll happen that night.
Somewhere nearby.
Like in the house.
Dig up the yard.
Yeah.
Just start digging for bones.
Okay.
I'll just go over.
Byron.
We haven't talked about my new favorite show, the OJ Simpson, show.
Love it.
That was called?
The people versus OJ Simpson.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It is also one of my favorite shows.
David Schwimmer.
Oh, Schwim.
Stop it.
You're breaking my heart.
Stop it.
What about when they were in Chin Chin, the Kardashian family went to Chin Chin.
That is so la.
If you don't live here.
Chin Chin.
Chin Chin is a terrible Chinese chain or delicious, depending on who you are.
I haven't heard of it since the 90s. It is so 90s
Like it's where we used to go when I moved here in 1994 really all the time
That was the place everyone wanted to go. It was like the ivy
Yeah, but like but cheap and in the valley. Yeah
And the idea that they were like we cut the line and yeah
It's oh my god
Like this is where we want to go because this is where like I went I went to bot mitzvahs of these kind of girls
Where it's like we go to change like I went to camp
I went to camp with the faun's daughter
Oh, and so they probably went to chin chin a lot. I bet because they eat that Chinese chicken salad back then everybody thought it was diet
That's how the 90s were
It's good. That show is great. I love that. It's going up the premise that he totally did it
Well, yeah, because he did I know is the thing he apps so fucking lily did he really really did
Because that's the thing is as we discuss and find in all of these stories that we tell and cases that we talk about
Things happen for a for a reason and be the people that do them have histories of doing things
Oh, yeah, and it's never it's so strange that still the legal system treats these things like it's out of the blue
It's like yes if a man consistently beats the shit out of his wife
That will escalate the things escalate. Yep
Well, you know what I think is really interesting is that we consist that that instead of looking into
Uh, the history and why and what happened exactly and what's the most obvious answer
The the answer is then to give them a defense attorney to argue
Fucking fantasy or like a fucking daydream that they somehow didn't do it and here is why
Maybe it didn't happen, you know or this way or that it's like or just those huge distractions of like basically they were putting
The LAPD on trial which they deserved because the Rodney King riots had just you know the Rodney King
Beating had just happened. That's like so not even close to the same thing, you know
But but but the argument of a black man can't get a fair trial or like, you know that the system is against
Black people and black men specifically was so true and had never been really
Broached before and I remember white people being like that's crazy
Yeah, that's such a bunch of crap and it's like, how would you know dude?
Okay, Rodney King's trial took place in seamie valley with zero black people on the jury
Yeah, it I think it was even all men or maybe it was one woman
ridiculous
No, it's bad seamie valley, which is like the whitest fucking place in los angeles with zero black people on the jury
Yeah, anyways. No. Yeah, not a jury of his peers
No, like just just crooked and bad all all around so there is a kind of like it was a get back in a way
Yeah, it absolutely was to watch it like I that's right when I moved here all that stuff happening
Like we're living through it. I remember being in I think it was
Golden apple comics and they were like yes oj's running the bronco is on the highway and running up to our friend laura's house
And everybody just gathering there and watching watching it on tv
Well, I just remember when the I remember the when the verdict was about to be read it was like, okay
Everyone knows he's guilty. He should be he should be convicted
Nobody wants another riot and that's we it was so traumatizing the first riot. Yeah that it was like
It it wasn't worth it to see him
be convicted because
That was fucking scary and no one wanted to go through that again, right? So
It was almost he would have happened. Yeah, and it was almost a relief when he
When it was not guilty because it was like, okay, you know what black people deserve this after what we fucking put them through here in
Los Angeles. Yeah, well, it's it you know, it's just weird though because when you watch it
it's such it's such a fascinating thing like
Watching them marsha clark and her whole team
Acting like it's a slam dunk case. Oh, yeah, when you know, what's really gonna happen total marsha clark
Her what's her character from American Horror Story? She's incredible. Oh, Sarah Paulson. Yeah
That but her hair is so distracted
I just all I can do is think about how long it took to curl every piece of that. Oh
That had to be a part was that a perm or was she like you absolutely can't perm me or is it it must have been a wig?
No one no one lets anybody perm their hair anymore. Yeah, do they know I don't know
um
The sad thing of course is the murder victims that just didn't get
any recognition. No, no, it was not it was not about them at all. No
I just can never forget that I never forgot
That this the quote that like Nicole was almost decapitated. That's how deep it wasn't he slit her throat
She was almost decapitated. He was like going berserk. Yeah, he cut into
It's crazy. It's so crazy
And like that idea of how they started the whole thing with the dog with bloody feet
Walking up like the guy finding a dog. It's a good show. It's very good. And then also insanely cheesy
It's so enjoyable like John Travolta got a lesson. He is killing it. He's my fave. Do you think he was really like that?
Robert Shapiro, yeah
Probably he
We didn't have blue eyes. Yeah, you know that right. It's really corny. There's so many corny things every single every single line that
That marcia clark says is like cut to commercial like she can't say a line without it cutting to commercial
But the best was at the end of the last episode. Oh when boiler alert and she sees
She just goes mother fucker. I think that's the first mother fucker on tv, right? I think so. It's fx, right?
So, yeah, they're a little edgy when she says a mother fucker when she says that about Johnny Cochran
Yeah, because he joined the team and he's uh his story's great too. Oh, it's and everyone is
Yeah, but I really just want to hug david schwimmer
Yeah, because he's such a he's who knew that was it robert kardash. Yeah, who knew he was such a great guy
Who knew he was a great guy that would spawn the literal
devils
Like the downfall all those discussions where they're like you can't it's not about fame
We have to have a good heart. Well, I keep thinking about his are his kids watching him being like fuck my dad
I miss my dad
Probably sad
It is he died like not too long after that which is so sad
I'm sure can you imagine how stressful it would have been to be that guy in that situation that guy knows
His friend is guilty and has to defend him
He also had to use the phrase uncle juice a lot, which I think is may have been the thing that killed him
Yeah, yeah, that would be hard uncle juice
He's not their real uncle so
Kris Jenner killing it. Oh
Summa Blair
Do you think she was like
This is the end of my career or was she stoked about it stoked? Okay. Yeah, because you see all those other people on that cast
That's true. That's true. I love this. They're great
Yeah, all right. Oh, we also have to talk about the fact that we're both watching autopsy, but should we save that for?
Yes, okay. I and that I actually somebody recommend. I'm sorry. I don't have the name because someone
Mentioned it to us on the twitter page. Oh, yeah
And it was a man and he said oh autopsy was amazing
I watched all of it and I went autopsy, huh?
And then I looked it up and I'd never seen it. You could never heard or seen it
I think I may have heard of it, but I'd never seen it
I had always just figured it and I think I had like watched maybe one the wrong episode
Where like he was literally just in an autopsy room cutting into someone and talking and discussing it
Yeah, which I thought the whole thing was like that
And no, it's like it's like case stories from hit this crazy guy like his crazy
Coroners past and how he solved crimes based on the autopsy. Yeah
It's fascinating and like the most and also they they kind of fold in like I've watched a couple now the last time
The last one I was watching was number nine when I texted you
Because it's other people they get other corners in there too because they're basically just getting all the craziest stories. Yeah, and um
I won't I won't give that one away. I'm just let people watch it. It's so good. I want to know
It's what I texted you remember. They opened up a guy. Yes
And should I just say it? There's voodoo dolls inside inside his body
Karen I read that as inside of his
Coffin no, wait a minute
Are you inside of his body?
That's why I was so upset. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go cry
I thought you meant like yeah, they I thought because I read it as like they next to his no
by the time pillow. Yeah, I'm like, oh, that's that's fucked up. Okay. No, it turned out the woman that ran the funeral home
was
Practiced voodoo. You gotta see her too. You got it. She is worth the entire episode. She looks totally normal, right?
She has the best hair I've ever seen and she's a badass and she was basically trying to
Get rid of all the other funeral homes like all of her competitors and do better financially so she
Made voodoo dolls for all of them and then sew them up inside this man's course at what point in that whole operation
Are you like I might be a little crazy. Yeah, this might not be a great idea. Yeah, this could come back
Yeah, what will this look like from the outside?
Just everyone you can be as crazy as you want but act normal
Yeah, or just try to step out from one second and be like if someone discovers this how crazy will I look totally?
That's good advice. I think that is too. So everyone watch autopsy someone on twitter suggested or on our facebook page
Uh, we have our a facebook group my favorite murder that you can join someone suggested that we just do a live episode
Or just do an episode where we just watch an episode
Of autopsy and just talk about it. That's a great idea. They can watch along with us a very good idea. I love it
Yeah, that's good. Yeah, you can go on because it's on um hbo go or hbo now or whatever apparently
There's a lot of episodes on youtube as well. Oh good. Yeah, there's like you can find them everywhere. Love it
We're gonna have all kinds of
Event. Yeah, it's also a little dated which I fucking love when I'm watching true crime shit. Do you ever go back and watch forensic files?
Oh, yeah, it's like it's like 2002 which doesn't seem that long ago
Please it's so long ago. The blouses tell a different story
Oh, it's so good. It's so good. I can even deal with reenactments when they're like vintage reenactments. Yeah
I love reenactors. Well, that's a whole different dude. I can't I can't watch a reenactment and not picture the person's
Um headshot. Yes, and their whole family watching because it's Billy's big break or whatever. Yes
I always think about that that sometimes they cast women that actually look like real women
So it's like this is like she's the one that got picked finally
Yeah, you know like in probably in her agency or whatever
Yeah, but then you think about the like the breakdown of what they were calling for and it's like big fat
Stupid woman that murders people murders like that. Nobody trusts and likes and I was like, oh, that's that's what I got cast as
You know what? No small parts
Everybody has got to get their story. So what they say? No small part. Oh, no
Who would play us?
Well, someone Blair would play me definitely definitely and then David Schwimmer would play you
I'll take it
Uh, okay
Gee, I feel like I always start with my favorite murder. Do you want me to go first?
Sure, do you want to go first? I will and this is under the guys we were talking about right kids that kill
But I don't know if we still did that. I did. Oh good. So I we decided that we're now going to have uh
Every episode has a theme or like a you know a what's the point a subject
Point or yeah, just I mean, I guess themes the right word theme or subject
Yeah, so we can kind of like matchy match. So this is kids. I were doing kids that killed their parents
That's what I did. Okay me too. Okay. Yay. We did it
Hey, I'm Mike Corrie the host of wonder is podcast against the odds
In our next season three mask men hijack a school bus full of children in the sleepy farm town of chowchilla, california
They bury the children and their bus driver deep underground planning to hold them for ransom
Local police and the FBI marshal a search effort, but the trail quickly runs dry
As the air supply for the trapped children dwindles a pair of unlikely heroes emerges
Follow against the odds wherever you get your podcast. You can listen ad-free on the amazon music or wondery app
So I did at alex and darrett king
Which I don't know about so i'm excited to hear this
Okay, because you sent me a photo and I was like, I'm not looking this up. Just tell me about it
So the first time I ever saw these kids on the news
alex king at the time I think he was either 12 or 13
He looked like he was eight years old. He looked like a baby face baby
Holy shit very small boy and his brother. It was like a year maybe two years older than him darrett king
Um
Was kind bigger like looked like a teenager. Hold on. I'm gonna get cause yeah late late all the way down
I don't want to tell you a story
So
And I remember seeing it where it was like, you know kids who kill and whatever and they had killed their father
so the deal was um
House was on fire firemen go to put the fire the house out
They they put the fire out and go in and then in the other part of the house it isn't burnt
They find a dead body and they know that it's dead from not from the fire
But they can see that it has head wounds and so
Um
The next day
Alex and darrett king turned themselves in to the sheriff's tell me their age again
12 and 13. Holy shit. Yeah
Babies and you got to see the picture the the one mugshot of alex king. He's just got zits all over his forehead
He just is like it's a child. It's like sixth grade seventh grade. Yeah
And so they turned themselves in
and they say
That they had
Run away from home because their dad was too strict
To their dad's friend uh ricky chevese's house
And they stayed there for a week and they knew that they he was gonna
They knew they were gonna get punished when they went back home. So they decided to kill him
To avoid being punished and because they're children because they're children and also they ran away because their dad um
So what had happened? It's a very sad story, of course, but it's like the
Mother and father have alex and darrett alex and then she has twins and then she leaves all four boys
Leaves the husband and just bails. I will never be able to wrap my head around
Moms who just later any dads too, but you know, well, I and in this story particularly there's a lot of uh things
I wish I knew more about and I I read
I read every single article on google when I put their names in it just went down
Until I got to there was an article on the nambla website
Which is the national association for manboy love or whatever that's a thing you can click on
You can click on it
I didn't realize until after I clicked and read the story and at the end it was like a person that was trying to rationalize
Or I was like, oh my god, where have I gone because I just kept on reading stories here
I've never come across that in all my weird
It was like the tenth article and you can click on it. Do you think that the government is tracking you now?
A hundred percent and they should be like but it but it was the the only the defense
I have is that it was just the next article down like I wasn't to say anything different or anything
inflammatory
well, so
It it told this part of the story
It it is inflammatory, but it's that creepy creepy thing
of so they ran to ricky
chavez's house
and
The reason they'd like to go there is because he let them smoke pot and play video games and pervert
He was molesting alex
And he had convinced alex that they were in love
This guy was 39
39 that they were in love and that alex was gay and that
And so this herein starts the soap opera of this story because Jesus. I was not expecting that angle
Yeah, it's it's rough. So the nambla article, of course is like people don't understand these relationships or whatever
Where I was like, wait, what? Hold on. Yeah, it's creepy
But so that guy drove them to the sheriff's
uh department to turn themselves in
But then they got him and they were like, so what exactly are you doing here?
And then it turns out so he gets held for like
Aiding and abetting essentially, you know, like keeping them. Did he have anything?
Okay, but he knew that they had killed his dad when they were staying there. Okay
So the two those the two young boys confess and they have their confessions taped and they're very detailed
Did you watch them? Can you watch them? You can't probably uh, no, it's tape recorder from from what I understand. Okay. Um
But then uh
A little while later
They recant like a couple months later
And I think it's probably when they got lawyers and when the lawyers like put everything out and we're like, hold on a second
Yeah, you were you ran to the molester's house to hang out the day after you killed your father
What's really going on here? And then they came back and said
That we were we were trying to cover for ricky. It turned out he killed our father and this whole thing was his idea
Bullshit and that is that's where it all started
And I remember when I saw that news story
It was like he was based they were basically presented as like these evil children like you immediately believed
that they
That you it was such a bias. It was such a weird bias
They were like he has and this young one has a relationship with this guy as if that kid is somehow
Perpetuating the relationship. Yeah, or his fault that yes, I'm reducing the older man
Yeah, it because they're they're basically trying to sell the story of like these two devil children
Oh, no one really as we all know it's like
Like this guy was in their life. So clearly Alex was being groomed for a long time. And you know, it's just the grossest thing
Yeah
Also, so basically when the mom bailed the dad after a little while was like, I can't handle four boys by myself
So they all got put in like Alex went to a foster home
The twins went somewhere else and then the older
The older boy went and lived with the principal of the local high school. Well, that can't be chill
I don't think so and then he stayed there until like two months before this murder
So and Alex came back from the foster home. I can't get any information about what happened
But they said it didn't like it didn't work out or something right, but we all know what foster homes
Sure and can be like sure
Um
So but Alex was doing good at home with his dad then Derek showed up and then two months later
The dad's murder. Do we know did the mom come back for the trial? Yeah
Yeah, the mom not only came back for the trial when they they basically
Were found guilty
I think they were found guilty
Of second-degree murder or something. The mom showed up. They
They hit him with something and then said his body on baseball bat
Derek hit him with the baseball bat. They Alex said it was his idea
And then they let the house on fair because they thought they were gonna get rid of all the evidence
If you're gonna kill someone and then light their
Body on fire if they don't have charred lungs, it's clear that they didn't die in the fire everyone
Yeah, but you can't just burn somebody. No, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. And I mean, yeah
I'm telling people how to get away with yeah, like almost kill them so that they inhale the smoke when they know, okay
I mean, yeah, that's one way but still they might find stuff on the body
You can't get away with killing someone. Anyways, it's very difficult. Yeah way of killing some so
They they also brought the guy up on charges all kinds of charges
They had like the aiding embedding thing and they had unkidnapping and of course like 10 counts of molestation
He had already he was a convicted pedophile. Of course he was. How was he the family friend?
Yeah, that's what I want to know. This is why you don't make friends with people at all
ever
but so so anyway, they have two like
Uh, they have two trials that the two boys are tried and then this guy is Ricky Jim Ricky one
Ricky Joe base is tried. We just start spreading this room. Yeah, that'd be bad. That'd be bad. Um
But they so they try
the adult man first and then seal his
Um, the results and so when the boys are tried, we don't know whether or not that jury found that guy guilty
Because it'll influence the jury. Yeah, because they basically were both
Oh, because sorry. So like three months after they made that confession. Yeah, then they got the lawyer. They lawyer it up
Right. They basically came back and said
Um, he did it. We were covering for him and this whole thing was his plan and we were in the trunk the whole time
And he did all of it and he was like nope
Yes, and so that guy's lawyer has to represent
A child molester who is it is being accused of murder
By children like the whole thing is so crazy. That's what I'm saying about defense like defense attorneys should look
I wish the idea was for everyone together to look for the truth
Instead of making some shit up. Yeah, I'm being or like
Here's a technicality and this is why you know, I can't imagine defense attorneys like themselves that much
No, well, it must be really hard. But then there are the they're doing it for those people that are like the few
Innocent, right? But this guy was so not innocent
But the weird thing was they didn't convict him on the 10 molestation charges. Well, they didn't
Um, like he they basically brought
More charges against him and then like the thing he finally
got convicted for was like
um
Was like holding a minor against their will or something and he got 35 years for it like the maximum
That's a lot. Yeah, the one thing they could make stick
Yeah, but because those boys had lied
And done all that stuff it made this guy look better than he should have looked
And there are a lot of people who still feel like no one ever heard what really actually happened because
There's no way that that child molester
Was was just an innocent bystander in that whole thing
Well, when you think about these kids who were 12 and 13 but looked really young
Does that mean that who how did they hit their dad over the head with a baseball bat and kill him?
That doesn't sound like something a young looking 12 but 13 like a
Slight, you know what I mean like that's well the older Derek is the one that did it and he was a little taller and bigger
but the guy was sitting in a in like a
A lazy boy recliner and so he may have been asleep
He may just snuck up on him because they had to run away. So they weren't in the house
They weren't around so they snuck into the house and killed him
And what's the story with the dad? Was he like a dick too? Like was it there's no proof?
That's the other things that they're they couldn't prove anything. They couldn't prove the molestation
Everything was word. It was um, not word of mouth, but uh, yeah here say or whatever
And the dad they just said the dad was really strict
And sometimes he would stare at them and they didn't like it
So I think it was just like those kids just looked worse and worse and worse and worse as
Every time they talked about anything. Yeah, so it's like the dad was a dad
Trying is trying to be and maybe it was a dick. Maybe he was a dick, but he was
Try you know, but who knows like and also it was his friend this totally the other the travelist or was his friend
That's the reason that guy was in their life. So who knows don't you like do you wonder about like people we know that you're like
Oh, like they're a child. Like what if they turn out to be a child molester? You would never know. No, you would never know
secrets
And now they're both out. Oh jail shut up. They don't they eventually got convicted
Um, the older one got eight years in jail and the little one got seven. Jesus and now they're out
And one is like on drugs and violated his parole had to go back. They alex the younger one
Because he got like into a car accident or something. It's all just really terrible and sad. Are they living?
Um down the street from here. They no, no this all happened in florida. Okay
Um, but then they moved to somewhere in texas. Okay, I think
damn crazy so crazy and also as I was doing it. I was like, oh, I love the story
It's so
Disgusting and crazy, but then there's no real answers. Which drives me nuts. I want to talk to the mom
Oh, she came in not only did she come in in the 11th hour, but she Rosie O'Donnell hired her two lawyers for the boys
Wait, he oh really? Yeah
Why?
Because I think she was afraid they weren't getting like a fair a fair thing so she
She put some lawyers florida lawyers on retainer for them Rosie. Uh-huh interesting. Yeah. Oh that mom
I hope she fucking is
Can't have more kids. Well, I don't yeah, I think she's out of the game
I think she kind of didn't do it very good
I bet she takes zero responsibility
Well, she was in there trying to say like you you here's how it needs to go and the prosecuting attorney was like
Lady, they wouldn't be here if you paid any attention to the ouch. Yeah, which is true
I mean totally true. You can't just bail and then come back. You know when everything's gone to shit
You can't bail on you can't bail. I'm mom or dad. You can't bail on your kid and expect them to have an okay life
No, you can't do that especially mom
Especially mom not to be fucking sexist, but but it's true. It's true. Yeah
You're you're telling your kids. They're not wanted
Yeah, that they don't matter to you the one person that matters the most to them totally
Gross, this is a fun subject. That's my it's a good one
And what is what what is it called? Is it like the
I guess the Derek and Alex King trial. Yeah, that makes sense
All right, I want to hear my favorite murder. I really do for children who killed their parents. Yes
Mine is the Richardson family murder
Richardson family murder. Okay, so uh in medicine hat Alberta Canada
I love when Canadians get violent, you know Canadians. I've been noticing from the facebook group
There's a lot of fucked up murders in Canada. Yeah, there are and they yeah, it's really interesting
I think because there's like so much it's wide open space. Totally. Yeah, um, this is Canada's youngest multiple murderer
Oof
She her name is Jasmine Richardson. Is this the one that's 12, but looks like she's 25 shut up. Yes. Sorry. Sorry. Oh, it's good
It's good. Yes. It totally is. Um, so in april of 2006
Um, Mark Richardson who's 42 double Richardson who's 48 and this is this fucking sad part
I mean, it's all sad, but Jacob Richardson who's eight years old found dead
And the daughter who was 12 years old was nowhere to be found
So this is the reason there's photos of her out there is because at first she was a missing person
So they splayed her photo all over the news and like whereas this chick turns out they find her
The next day she gets arrested. She is 12 years old hot like goth chick
Um, dating a 23 year old dude named jeremy allyn
stank
s-t-e-i-n-k-e
Stanky stanky. That's the worst last name of all time. I know
Maybe hear about it because he's like this gross. He's like the dude that we probably dated in high school
He's like a gross goth dude who looks like probably wears eyeliner
Um, he he said he was a 300 year old werewolf that liked the taste of blood. He's like that guy
like gross I dated when I was like
14 and on drugs I dated
Older dudes and I thought it was the coolest like this is what the story interested me too because it was like
Oh, yeah, I could have that could have been me. I mean, I would never have killed my family but
But who knows if you get like pulled in by some weirdo. Yeah, and he kind of it seems like I mean
It definitely seems like he's the one who I had the whole thing on because he said he watched
Like hours before the murder watched
Um natural born killers. Yeah, and it was like me and my girlfriend are this these people were gonna kill your family
Um, so they went in there the dad. This is so graphic the dad was stabbed so many times
He didn't have blood in him anymore. Oh my god. They found him and then this is the saddest part
don't listen if you don't want to hear about children getting murdered because
I I don't even want this this poor eight-year-old kid. She sat up there his big sister sat up there with him
She said she covered his ears while this pair his parents got killed in the basement
And then because she didn't want him to hear it
So it's like well, then she also didn't want him to get murdered but the the guy came up there the boyfriend
It was like kill him
so together they kind of
Killed him
Which is like disgusting and awful and like insane insane and it makes me not she's 12 years old
But it makes me have no sympathy for her anymore. No, you know
No, if she could do that sit with her brother and cover his ears or whatever there is
Some modicum of control that she had or she could have taken him out the window
Totally or something something except and now
Man, she's going to community fucking college and has a job and lives on her own
Oh
because in um, you can't be tried as an adult when you're under 14 in canada
for murder
So the or in the longest you can get is 10 years
So she was 12 at the time got 10 years got out early
um
She's now under the care of a psychiatrist. Um, she expresses genuine remorse quote genuine
I mean, I was a little shit when I was young but I would but
I knew you don't kill your family. Well, I don't think it's
I don't think it's a fair comparison. You probably
That being a little shit and a murderer is not the same thing. Well, yeah, I mean, that's true
And I wonder what drugs they were doing. Were they on drugs together? It doesn't it didn't talk about drugs
But they had to be on something. Yeah
Oh, I know I know so he got three life sentences
um
Yeah, so she essentially didn't like she only got punished for a little while punished for a little while
She's
Going to school. I was reading a reddit thing that's like someone was like, yeah
We I go to this school and none of us know who she is even though there's photos of her and she looks so much older
Look at jasmine richardson. She's like a pretty gothy girl who looks 18 at the least at the least
But you'd think that you could recognize her but everyone's like we no one can tell who she is
Well, you know what? I bet she grew those eyebrows in sure
Uh, she got probably got a nice stencil an eyebrow stencil. Let's say hair is bleached blonde now
Maybe bleach blonde would be smart. No, maybe she's like the most square-looking person in the world now
She goes full j crew full j crew. Yeah, that's a good way to hide
Perm marcia clark perm
Bugged out marcia clark eyes. Yeah, totally
Spray tan
Because you're not goth anymore and also or or she could be doing
um
Mousy brown hair that almost isn't a color
Unlike john lennon glasses and just being like sexless plain
Yeah, like the the person I always think about that of like if I ever wanted to be a spy
I know exactly what I would wear and like do we don't look like spies. You and I no
Yeah, you'd have to be like an old goth lady
Who stopped trying three years ago?
No, you tell me we would have to go real norm
Real normal not norm. Yeah, we would have to do it would have to be light honey brown box dyed hair and also like like
cardigan sets
Yeah, right
and like um
Or maybe just like just have a shopping day at marshals
We would have to look like I looked or like one would look when you have an office job
You hate and don't want to spend any money on the clothes. Yeah, so it's those like button down
Blouses that like are ruched at the waist. Yes, and then a pencil skirt. Totally
You can it's easy to hide in plain sight cheap shitty boots
Shitty boots black tights, and then your purses from clearly from pay less like your purses from pay less sure
And then you just got a scrunchie. You've got all the hair the perm to hair up in a scrunchie all of it's up in a scrunch
No makes shaved eyebrows and then their pencil back in
Oh, that's a bit that almost might seem glamorous though. That is I think you grow the eyebrows in
Yeah, that'd be hard for me though. Okay lip liner only no lipstick
Yeah
Or just no lipstick right no just no lips
Oh my god, what if what about those people that wear it all foundation?
Oh, yeah, so just foundation you have like an all beige face. It's like no contouring whatsoever
No contouring no lipstick. No eye makeup. You just got the basics covered. Yeah
The baby my cat is stoked on this look for me. He's like you'll just never leave the house anymore
Wow, I'm fascinated. I am too. I do remember seeing that picture and when I read that she was 12. I was like, yeah
That's insane. Yeah, I don't know how I was like that must be an older photo of her. Nope. That's what she looked like
and I think she
Supposedly a lot they maybe met on a chat in a chat room
And supposedly she might have been lying about her age saying she was 15
So he's still a 23 year old fucking a 15 year old. Yes, but also if he's 300
He would should have been able to pick up on that lie. Yeah, if he's been around that much
You think he would know and they killed their parents supposedly because they disapproved of the relationship
Which is like this was bothering me so much about the whole thing is like
These parents get killed for parenting. Yeah, that bothers me so much like
These parents get killed for something that later in your life. You're like, they were right
Like I look back at my mom and how mad I was at her and embarrassed
I was at certain moments like and I'm like, oh, no, no, no, you were being an asshole. She was parenting
Yes, although in some of these cases where it is goes to murder
It's like what was it like in the day to day in that house? Yeah
Because it's not there definitely are the kids that are like sociopaths or psychopaths that kill their parents because they want money
Or whatever it is
But then I think there's some that it gets built in by like either
You know abuse or just right like creepy shit happening that it's a reaction
So but it's I just hate blaming
I mean on one hand you gotta be like blaming the parents. I say who I am blaming
You gotta like, okay. I know this is just like naive of me, but like the parents were still married
So maybe they couldn't have been that fucked up. Which is so silly of me. I know but like
You're just trying to use your context clues. Yes, put it all together. Yes. Yes. I am
that's why like
Yeah, and those in in my story where it's like does anybody know anything else?
Yeah, because I would let I would just like a little bit of
background information
Well, a lot of the websites are just regurgitating
The same shit from every article you've already read which is why I love reddit because there's always some person who's like
I went to I went I remember the news reports
Like I didn't know that the reason there are photos that they're out of her out there
Even though she was 12 is because they thought she was missing so they they let those
Uh, they released those photos of her initially. It's interesting stuff. Yeah, they probably thought she was like
Taken totally
And she could have played that
to her advantage
Well
I just want to talk more about what you would do to hide in plain sight
I feel like I've thought about this more than I even realize
Yeah, I mean it's it's I always
Sometimes I'll think of like being a spy and like but a bummer it is that we're in a day and age where we can't just disappear
Yeah become spies or or just disappear. You know, yeah
It's it's a bummer
like you'd always hope there's some day in your life when you get it just like
Have a have a spy moment or have a you know
We all want to be uh private detectives for sure
I would love it. Can someone hire us for a job as private detectives so we can just have one experience
We want to get paid, but we don't have qualifications. None. I mean, I feel like it should be something important
Yeah, I feel like you and I above anyone else. I know would be better at this than anyone else
I mean, I sure would give it my all. I promise to read every article. Yeah, I think we'd be good at it
I think we'd be good. I think we'd know to like how to how to separate and what to like
How much space to give them and what to pretend that you're doing and well
And also that thing of the detectives talk about and it's held against them a lot
But I believe in it 100% is that gut reaction to people. Yeah
So when they just go I like this guy for something or this guy doesn't feel right, right? I find that fascinating because
So many different times in my life. I've been in places where I'm like, I don't know why but I'm just gonna get away from

New zealand nz. Yeah, sure for over 10 years now nz
Um, my husband and I are really fascinated by cold case as I always talk about it
There's so many here in nz that are very interesting and worth mentioning like the bain murders or the mark londi's case
Naming them here so you can have a chance to research a little
um
But I but the one I want to tell you about happened in the town
I grew up in and the victim was a student from my school. So that's one personal connection on the case
Karla, uh
Oh yarzan was a 15 year old talent and student and athlete who was found dead at a sports training park in orsono chili
And she had been raped beaten and strangled with her own running tights on the evening of december 17th
Karla and her sister went for the usual training session at the city outdoor sports facility
They usually go to training with their dad, but um that day their mom was sick. So the dad stayed home
Um looking after her and the girls trained together for a while then separated
Karla stayed behind doing extra laps and her sister went home
In parentheses terrible move after a few hours and with no signs of karla the family members and friends
Went to look for her and among these friends was fellow athlete and former coach of karla
Christian roe hell roj el 35 he knew the area very well
So he led the search that night and also helped um
Helped the police search the following morning. He even talked to the media saying that he had seen her training and have um
Told her that she shouldn't be on her own that it was late all red flags. It was dangerous. Yep. She wrote. I mean hello
You're just implicating you're you're telling everyone that you were there. Yeah, you're so interested. Yep
So
Karla's body was discovered the following morning at a remote part of the training field an area that was covered in really high
wheat grass
A wheat-like grass so as you might have guessed he raped and killed her then do you know how he got caught his wife
saw him coming home that night and uh
Jumping in the shower with his clothes on as if he was trying to wash them
She found that odd and when she heard karla about karla being dead
She checked her husband's wet clothing and it was covered in dry grass like the wheat grass
And then she saw something that looked like blood so she called the police and the blood was matched to karla's dna
Um, he raped her with a condom so he wouldn't get caught
Oh
He was found guilty of rape and first-degree murder is currently serving a life sentence in a local prison
um
He's never confessed to killing her
He first said that they were lovers and the sex was consensual later later admitted to have raped her but
Insisted he left her alive. Yeah, right
Just help just confess at this point. Yeah, good for his fucking wife, man
Like I know, you know, that's the kind of person that people need to be is like
Imagine that moment where you look down and you see all the oh my god, I would want to throw up
I would run out of the house. That's like the moment in uh in
Um, sounds the lambs or she's like my use your phone, please right where you try to act calm, but there's no way
Right. Oh such a good. That's oh, you know, I read an article recently. That was just an interview from the two
at the uh
Mr. I don't want to hurt your dog and puts the lotion on
I read an article that was just interviewing the two of them and what their experiences were like and it was amazing
Were they together? No, it was like quotes from both of them, but so funny. That's a fun
I've never heard that story before and every time I see mr
Uh, I got your dog every time I see her into anything else like I'm so proud
Did you know she was in Grey's Anatomy? Yeah, I did not realize what we're talking about that article
I was so happy for her. I know she's fine. She's like after that pit residual money. Okay. Here's mine
Uh, this I'm going to read this one from uh, someone on her facebook group lori baker martin
Darling girl. She says
Here's a murder that happened in my hometown of coffeville, uh, kansas on december 11th
1999
A man named john dalton a social worker married a woman with two kids. Her name was holly stack
No one knows exactly what sent john dalton off the deep end
Of these things his former landlady said he was kind attentive charming
But he hid behind a door in their house on that day and waited for his two stepchildren to come home from school
And then beat them to death with an aluminum baseball bat
I know then he hid out and waited for holly to come home from work. He did the same to her
He stayed in the house with those three horribly mutilated bodies for three days
He even ate meals in the kitchen with them. So clearly he fucking
Can when something went it's not like he just wanted to kill them like something went something snapped. Yeah
In the end of it the story is both unsatisfactory and fulfilling
John dalton was arrested in charge with the murders, but he never stood trial while he was waiting for trial
He developed throat cancer and succumbed to it behind bars two years later
On a more satisfying note coffeville has located a safe house for oh
So coffeville has started a safe house for women on that site at that site. Oh, that's cool
It's called holly's house
Incidentally while I don't think john dalton was a relative of coffeville's famous dalton gang members
The shootout between that gang and townspeople in 1892 resulted in the deaths of four gang members four towns people and the sheriff
It's coffeville's claim to fame. Wow
coffeville
Who would have thought coffeville?
Kansas i do love those midwestern stories though. Sure. There's something extra like, you know, it's all quiet and crickets
At night and everything and then just yeah someone waiting behind a door
Well, are you watching the new steven king hulu fucking no dude? Is it so good?
It's so good. What's it called 11? What's the date that oh 11 23 63? Oh, I didn't realize that was
Stephen king
That's the day kennedy was killed and the whole thing is like a going back and it's like a back to the future
Thing. Oh, it's fuck. It's good. It might get it's good. It's really good. It's fun
I gotta see it if you're into like, you know, this he goes back in time and tries to stop
President kennedy from being killed. Oh my god, just like your dream like my dream for his brother, right?
Because I don't think anything could have been done at that point, but
But it's good and like other little things along the way. There's like other story lines. It's really it's fun
Awesome, won't you watch it? It's on hulu. I love it. Yeah
Uh
