Small Town Murder - #309 - STM Express - Watch My Revenge - Kodiak, Alaska

Episode Date: August 20, 2022

This week, in Kodiak, Alaska, a very strange little "neighborhood", outside of town is inhabited with some very strange living situations, and all the weirdness that comes with it. Odd marria...ges, and too many people sharing a hut bring tensions to their peak, after accusations of being a little bit too friendly with a neighbor's spouse. This leads to a crazy showdown, and two very different accounts of what actually happened. Only thing is, one of the stories happens to have many witnesses to back it up!!Along the way, we find out that things are done a bit differently in Alaska, that a quonset hut is not big enough for multiple families, and that people tend to believe the story has the most witnesses!!

Starting point is 00:03:31 everybody you're ready clear the lungs where are you in the kitchen in your car on the way wherever you are unless it's a maybe not on an airplane or at your kid's school or anything like that but you know any non-public place I'd like you to sit back and shout, Shut up! Shut up! Give me murder! Let's do this, Jimmy. All right, let's run.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Let's go on a trip, shall we? Yeah. We're going on a long trip. Our Express episode last week was in Rhode Island, and we are going to Alaska, which is way different. It is almost, it's almost the North pole, except this is like the most Southern part of Alaska.
Starting point is 00:04:11 You can get here pretty much. This is like that tail. This is Kodiak, Alaska. It's not the tail that comes off. It's inside of that tail. It's a little Island on this like South central Alaska. It's a little Island sits off by itself. Just this little island, man.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And it is like, it seems like time forgot it. And it's beautiful. I mean, it's gorgeous. The trees, it's less cold. It snows less there. It's kind of a different climate than the mainland. Closer to Seattle, yeah. Yeah, but not too, I mean, it's right by the Alaskan shore there.
Starting point is 00:04:44 The population here is 5,808, so not that big. Median income, $69,868. Doing great. Yeah, not overly wealthy. It's not like a haven. It's not Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket or something is what I'm getting at. Median home cost, $361,600. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And I would assume it's going to cost more to get materials there, mainly because, as we'll talk about, it can only be reached by ferry or plane. Stop it. You can't drive to Kodiak. It's impossible. So you can't truck anything into Kodiak. It all has to be ferried in on a truck or flown in, which is going to add exponential fees to anything you're doing. So the motto here alaska's emerald isle okay i mean they're really pushing it man they're alaska's ireland alaska's
Starting point is 00:05:33 ireland yeah come here and we'll all be drunk and bump into each other it's perfect uh quick history of this town here it was originally named paul's harbor there's some guy named paul found it and he's like yeah this is mine now shit this is mine it actually it used to be the capital of uh russian alaska when alaska was the russians yeah this was the capital of russian alaska was kodiak which is interesting in 1964 a tectonic tsunami struck the city. That sounds terrible. That's like an earthquake that caused a tsunami. That's bad. This was during the 1964 earthquake. 30-foot waves came and killed 15 people and caused $11 million in damage in 1964 money.
Starting point is 00:06:18 So that's $80 billion now. $80 quadrillion, who knows, dollars. No surfers benefited? No, not even. They died. All 15 people were surfers. They all perished. They said it was, quote, the gnarliest wave ever, and then they were submerged, and we never saw them again.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Little Frankie Avalon back to the beach. Yep, he's going out like that. Total point break, man. It's a total point break situation. The Standard Oil Company has a place here, of course, and also the Alaskan King Crab Company was there. But much of the fishing fleet was destroyed by the waves. I'm sure. So that's not good.
Starting point is 00:06:58 And it wiped out some villages. There was a big antenna farm at the summit of Pillar Mountain above the city. There was a big antenna farm at the summit of Pillar Mountain above the city, and that's the only way they had communication with the outside world, was an antenna farm until fiber optic cable finally was run out there to the island. That's crazy, man. Yeah, all travel to and from the island, ferry service and on the Alaska Marine Highway, and then commercial airlines. That's all you can do, or private.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Otherwise, you just stay there. Otherwise, you can swim for it. I don't think't think you're gonna make it but good luck it's cold reviews of this town five stars kodiak is a beautiful outdoor paradise i love the fishing and hiking and the scenery is fantastic the people are very friendly and love to meet new people small town atmosphere and safe the town is very walkable. Wow, this just sounds like it's a little Mayberry in the north. Very cold one. Three stars.
Starting point is 00:07:53 We're in a rainforest. It rains a lot. Well, that's a rainforest. We got that with your first sentence. In the winter, we get a lot of ice. Really? Hold on. In Alaska, in the winter, you get ice.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Get out of here. Nah, I don't believe this person. I don't believe him. Any other obvious things you want to point out here? The sky is up. We have lots of wind, but most of the residents are used to it. Most people wear extra tufts and raincoats. Never use an umbrella.
Starting point is 00:08:27 The wind is too strong. Those are just tips. Yeah. Here's one. Three stars. To get to the mainland, the only option is a ferry to Homer or Whittier or to fly to Anchorage. Traveling around the town by foot is decent. In the winter, there's a lot of ice.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Again, we get it. Thank you. Jesus. Don't have to warn me. Cars typically slow down for pedestrians. What, they don't gun it and run them over? That's good to hear. Very friendly. A little different from Manhattan around here. Real small town atmosphere.
Starting point is 00:08:58 They don't intentionally run you down. The speed limit in town never exceeds 45 miles an hour, so you're just always frustrated while you drive. Sounds wonderful. Here is three stars. Remember, walkable and safe. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Three stars. Multiple registered sex offenders live nearby my house. Flocks of kids and teens wander around the streets at all times of the day. Well, that's not good with all these sex offenders around. That's why they're here. It's like a bird feeder out there get these guys in the house what the fuck's happening they tell you to bag up your trash at night because it attracts bears yeah that's what i mean this is the same thing they
Starting point is 00:09:37 come out sniffing around about two o'clock in the afternoon stop putting pedo milk bones out in the yard they just paw it kids weird uh things to do here there is only one thing to do and i mean nature is a thing to do here it's fucking beautiful do anything but the thing that's organized is the kodiak crab festival oh now you're talking baby that sounds good uh but some of the events in it are a little a little weak here the rubber duck race obviously um the first rubber duck though that you the winning duck it's a thousand dollars not bad that's a good prize uh the kodiak's elf elk lodge here this is good prices here we got beer bratwurst with your choice of fixings for for 650 a prime rib french dip sandwich for 1250 beer 12 ounce beers are four bucks at a festival that's pretty goddamn good uh not bad at all and then finally live music
Starting point is 00:10:33 featuring homebrew bru i don't know yeah there it's a brother and sister team. Oh, boy. Matt and Chelsea brew hauler. Brew. Oh, boy. There we go. That said, let's talk about a murder here. Okay? Let's do it. Tell me about the brew ha-ha.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Let's see what brew ha-ha takes place in Alaska. To do this, we have to go back in time a little bit. I like it. We're going back to 1970. Oh. Yeah, 1970. And when you picture 1970, everybody pictures kind of some hippie thing in your head. You get your Richard Nixon pops in there. Vietnam comes in there.
Starting point is 00:11:14 You see the protests and hippies, the whole deal. Summer of Love before that, everything like that. Psychedelic shit. Take all of that, ball it all up you know pack it tight like a snowball and throw it right in the garbage because throw it back to 1940 we're in alaska none of that's happening here they don't know about it no it takes a long time for culture to get up here back then especially internet now i mean the same shit is the same everywhere the kids in samoa are fucking watching the same tiktok videos as the kids in you know kansas it's all the same everywhere the kids in samoa are fucking watching the same tiktok videos as the
Starting point is 00:11:46 kids in you know kansas it's all the same pop smoke fans yeah exactly it's all the same shit so but back in 1970 their culture took years to spread inland in the states and to alaska forget about it because that's practically the middle of nowhere not practically it is so let's talk about a man here named james condon c-o-n-d-o-n yeah yeah he's 29 and i must say right off the top here very frustrating to research any story featuring a man named james condon because google does not want to fucking recognize that this man exists. They want him to be James Condon. So when you search it, it doesn't even say, you know how it'll say, like, did you mean James Condon? And then under it, it'll say only show results for Condon. Here, it doesn't even say that.
Starting point is 00:12:39 It just says James Condon. You met James Condon. Here's results for that. And I'm like, that's not what I want. Who is James condom nobody that's the other thing doesn't even exist no it's just i guess because people call a dick or jimmy and a condom and a condom sometimes there's jimmies and there's condoms and somehow that all goes together so if you search james condom james condon his name is james condom which is poor bastard just frightening as shit it sucks fuck him what about me i had to look this up he's 29 in 1970 he doesn't have to live with google i do he's 80 goddamn years old at this
Starting point is 00:13:19 point he wouldn't be on google google's trying to get you the james size of comics yeah so the he lives in kodiak not even in kodiak they live on the outskirts of kodiak in an area called bell flats which is like on the island yeah oh yeah yeah no it's all together on the island this is just a wilderness section outside of the main part of town so So you got Kodiak, which is remote, and then go outside of that. You got an Alaskan holler. Yeah, it's kind of what it is, an Alaskan holler. And when I describe the living situation, you're going to go, wow, this is very Phillips, Oklahoma, West Virginia, what's going on here? He lives with his wife and his daughter. He's got a young baby daughter. He's got kind of a young
Starting point is 00:14:06 baby wife as well as we'll talk about here um as he describes it here we're talking about june 1970 quote his wife will quote be 18 in december nope and they already have a you know a two-year-old here nope yeah and he's 29 nope um yeah james should have worn a condom james needs a condom his middle name should be needs a the fucked up part is his middle name is a i don't know what it stands for i haven't found that but it's a so james needs a condom just put needs in there we'll tell you how him and his wife got together a little later because it's better to hear it in the way I have it presented later on. Trust me, it's much funnier. You can't be 29 and have 12 years difference between you and your wife.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I would say not. And also have a toddler running around the house. No. That's not okay, I don't think. So he and his, quote, wife, you know, his wife, child, and their child, they live in a Quonset hut. Tell me what that is. They live in a Quonset hut, Jimmy. You put hut on the end of any dwelling, and I can take a picture of it.
Starting point is 00:15:21 It's rudimentary. It's a lean-to. It's definitely not a fully... It's something you do for the weekend. No granite countertops. I guarantee you that. It's nothing like that. This is like a corrugated steel building.
Starting point is 00:15:36 It's basically a storage shed. It's a storage shed that they... If you live in it, you call it a Quonset hut. Makes it sound like you're doing something for the environment yeah it makes it sound like they do Quonset huts as like they would do that for like temporary the military will put
Starting point is 00:15:53 that up for like temporary housing for like you know a refugee situation or a major natural disaster or something that's what they put up Quonset huts like a domed barrack? It's kind of like a corrugated steel kind of like a shed I mean like a backyard shed but a little bigger you can make them any size you want but they're not it's it's it's just to block you from the wind essentially that's all it is really temporary living quarters this is not meant to be uh toughed through it's
Starting point is 00:16:22 not no one dreams of eventually acquiring a Quonset hut. That's not the, that's not the dream anybody has. Oh, we're going to have a, uh, an aluminum picket fence. That's going to be nice.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And if they do, it's because they have a tarp taped to the side of a CVS right now. That's why. Yeah. That's well, they got kicked out of the CVS. They were living in a dugout hole in the ground in the forest, and now they've acquired a Kwanzaa hut.
Starting point is 00:16:48 And the problem I see with this is we're not trying to make fun of people with bad housing situations and shit like if you're homeless and you live in the ground, that really sucks. But if you're a dirtbag who's 29, able bodied and fucking married to a teenager, I'm going to make fun of you wherever you live. I don't give a shit if he lived in a nice house. We'd find a way to make fun of that because I don't like this guy right now. Mr. Condom can eat shit at the moment.
Starting point is 00:17:12 So he doesn't live... I take that back. I kind of overinflated their situation. They don't live in a Quonset hut. They live in half a Quonset hut, which they share with another family. A whole Quonset hut
Starting point is 00:17:31 to yourself and your child is still not great, but if you have to share it, not good. You're really not doing great. That's not good. He shares it with Isidore Cordova and Richard Barnes. These are two men who, two other guys who live in the other half of the Kwanzit Hut. So it's him, his teen bride, their toddler, Isidore Cordova, and Richard Barnes, all living in a Kwanzit Hut in the middle of nowhere in an island in Alaska that can only be reached by plane or ferry.
Starting point is 00:18:04 This is small town murder this is this is i wanted to tell everybody last week when we were i'm reading the things and i'm like we've never had people that sound like this on the show before everybody's educated i wanted to say like next week don't worry there'll be people shitting in buckets it's a i guarantee you and that's exactly what we have guys have a uh a commodities portfolio i doubt that there's a commodities portfolio in this group and if they did have one they'd burn it for warmth i think trying their best to get fiber out of the paper as they eat it as they eat it yeah that's what wow that manila folder's full of fiber give it to the give it to the little girl she needs fiber holy shit wow this is a mess so
Starting point is 00:18:53 now next door there's another kwanzit hut this isn't by the way a private kwanzit hut situation with that you're sharing it's a little park it's a little yeah it's like a trailer park of quonset huts it's a quonset shantytown yeah so next door to them is uh timothy peter bean i guess it's b-i-e-h-n that's there's an actor with that name and it's bean so i'm going with timothy peter bean he's 27 and his wife lives with him and his two children uh oh and his wife is pregnant so there's another on the way about to be three so it's about to be five a family of five living in a quonset hut which doesn't sound probably preferable so the morning of june 17th 1970 this is the nice time and it's beautiful outside. This is like, if you're going to go do outdoor stuff,
Starting point is 00:19:47 and this is exactly when you want to do it. The fishing's probably good. It's amazing right now. It's perfect. The water's still cold, but there's probably salmon fucking everywhere. Oh, God, everywhere. Salmon, probably get halibut up there. Holy shit, it's probably so good.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Probably noodle a halibut at this point. You just reach in and grab one with your bare hands. Pull out a halibut with this point. You just reach in and grab one with your bare hands. Pull out a halibut with your bare hands. A big one. Ah. Not even noodle. You just reach in off the boat and ah. You pull it up over your head. They swim up to your arms. They do.
Starting point is 00:20:16 They're 30 pounds. They've had enough of this life. They eat from your hand so they're easier to catch. When they're eating from your hand you grab them by the other hand and you're gotcha. They're like squirrels in Central Park. They'll eat right from your hand. Tacos tonight. That's it. You guess what you bring for bait. They like tacos. So
Starting point is 00:20:31 it's what I've heard anyway. I don't know for sure. Obviously, I'm no expert. So on the morning of June 17th, 1970, Condon, accompanied by Isadora Cordova and Richard Barnes, who goes by Dick, by the way. Yeah, of course he does.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Dick Barnes. Dick Barnes and Isidore and Condon, they all have to go. They have to leave the neighborhood Quonset area. And they have to go to Saltery Cove, to a nearby cove, to get Barnes Barnes's truck which is stuck in the mud. Which again, this is a very small town murder activity. Three guys have to go get another guy's truck out of the mud.
Starting point is 00:21:14 That's a lot of mud. That's deep if you need three guys to do it. So it's all stuck. They left at about 11 a.m. or noon and they returned to the Quonset hut sometime between 2 and 3 p.m. Okay? Now, when they get there, Jesus Christ, this is such a disaster.
Starting point is 00:21:34 When they get there to the Quonset hut, his wife, Mrs. Condom, is there. Teenage Mrs. Condom. And there. Teenage Mrs. Condom. And Mr. Bean is also there. Won't say a word. You go, how you doing, man? And he just does a bunch of little mime activities. Movements. Then you understand what he means.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Fucking asshole. Everyone's mad at him. You're mad at him, but you're also laughing. So it's very confusing. But you're also just shaking your head while you're doing it. So they're in the Quonset hut when Condom, Cordova, and Barnes enter, which definitely sounds like a 70s musical trio. I believe they sing a soul. They have a soul routine here.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Now, Cordova and Bean, even though Cordova lives there, him and Bean left almost immediately to go next door to Bean's Quonset hut. Okay. Now, at that point, Barnes, who is the other roommate that shares with the Condom family, he also leaves shortly after that. Okay. Now, Barnes said he left the Quonset hut to go over to the Bean Quonset hut because Condom began slapping around his wife. What the fuck, man? Just in the middle of the Quonset hut at two in the afternoon in front of their roommates and neighbors. He's just beating up his wife and children and everything else.
Starting point is 00:22:58 So he was smacking her around. And so nobody liked that. So he didn't want to go get involved the barn said that he quote did not want to get involved in a family argument it's gone beyond family argument at this point he's abusing a child man well yeah exactly that he's married to and also it's it's so deep it's so many layers yeah you can be a grown-up man and tell him, that's probably inappropriate. He's abusing that child. Wait, which part?
Starting point is 00:23:28 The fucking her? Impregnating her? Kidnapping her at a young age? Slapping her around. Slapping her around. What are we talking about here? Which part? What am I mad at him for?
Starting point is 00:23:37 All of it? Okay, good. So now here's what happens next, okay? This is, there are two versions of this story. There is the condom version, all stuffed into a rubber, and then there is the version of everyone else who was there. Two different versions of how things go down here. This version is vastly outnumbered. I'm going to we're gonna you can you can choose the veracity of whichever version you you like the courts did but they they picked which one they like better
Starting point is 00:24:13 yeah uh but you know we give everybody their due here let's see what he has to say maybe it's true so condom says okay he says that when he barns, and Cordova returned from Saltery Cove, Bean was in his part of the Quonset hut. It's a fucking hut. It's not that big. It's not like I was in the east wing and he was over in our, you know, he has his quarters. It's not like that. It's a hut. Everyone's got this one room.
Starting point is 00:24:42 What is there? Those beaded curtains in between or it's like what's in between them a sheet hanging down maybe over in my corner looking out over the rose garden yeah there's no windows in this thing are you kidding me no it's a tin box so uh there might be a window i'd have no idea uh but either way um i don't think so for the cold probably probably not keep the window out so he's not happy about Bean being in his part of the Quonset hut hanging out with Mrs. Condom
Starting point is 00:25:09 oh around the lady that's what he said he goes hey he was hanging out with Mrs. Condom now Bean has his own pregnant wife and two kids next door obviously but he needs to go over and I guess according to Condom he's trying to romance his teenage bride here.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So a lot of good, nice people in this whole mix. This is really wild. So he was in there. Now, after Barnes, Cordova and Bean left the Kwanzit hut, Condom says that he noticed at that point, not at first, he noticed at that point that his wife had a black eye that what the shit she didn't have when he left for the cove now um he asked her what happened and she didn't want to tell him but then after some prodding and you know come on out with it let's go you know if tell you what you can borrow the car this weekend if you, this is crazy. I'm not mad at you. She finally said, well, Bean approached, Mr. Bean approached me sexually. And when I denied him, Condom says, quote, he hit her in the eye and took advantage of her.
Starting point is 00:26:19 So he says that his wife said that Bean punched her and raped her. His next door neighbor with his pregnant wife and kids next door and her toddler in attendance as well um so that's that's the story okay now he then told his wife god damn it we're gonna go over to his quonset hut and we're gonna to sort this out and tell him to stay the fuck away from us. That's what we're doing. We're going to go tell him right now. You better not rate my teenage. I rate it's a crime. What I do, you don't commit crimes against my already. This is just the levels here are just getting, you see what I'm saying? It's too much. So, um, yeah, he said, we're going to go do that that this is about 20 minutes later by the way um she I guess he she didn't get as ready as from what he said uh Mrs. Condom didn't get
Starting point is 00:27:13 ready as fast as Mr. Condom would like her to get ready so he said that he became angry and merely backhanded her so it's just a backhand i mean that's think about saying that think about the levels of just a backhand i'm gonna tell him he better not rape my wife again like what is fucking happening this is this is your story that you're coming out with do you not want your honor defended what yeah stop curling your hair pat i'm gonna what the fuck what a lunatic man he then uh loaded a 32 automatic pistol whoa so he's gonna do that which uh he had next to his bed and he said that uh he loaded it up quote he had it which i felt that i might need due to the fact of mr. Bean's temper, violent temper
Starting point is 00:28:05 that I had heard about and can get witnesses to testify about, is what he'll say later on. He's like, people know he's a violent maniac. Obviously, look what he did to my wife. My God. So I needed to have a gun. So he said that he then went over to the Quonset hut where Barnes, Cordova, and Bean were there. He said it was within two to three minutes, but everybody else said it was 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:28:30 So as he approached the Quonset hut, he said that Barnes and Mrs. Bean were on the porch. So Condom, Mr. Condom, asked Mrs. Bean, where's your husband? Because I'd sure like to shoot him. He didn't say that, but that's the obvious implication. Condom at this point says that he never talked to, he didn't even see Mr. Barnes. Mr. Barnes was inside. He's talking to Mrs. Barnes. He said that he stopped on the porch to take his shoes off because he didn't want to, quote, muddy up the floor.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Mrs. Bean. No, no, no. He did that. Condom. Yeah, yeah. He took off his muddy up the floor. Mrs. Bean. No, no, no. He did that. Condom. Yeah, yeah. He took off his shoes and was talking to Mrs. Bean. He was talking to Mrs. Bean and Barnes, Mrs. Bean and the other guy out on the porch
Starting point is 00:29:14 and asking, where's your husband? Where's Mr. Bean? And then he said, well, I'm going to go in and look for him. But before I go in, even though I'm here with a loaded weapon to confront him about raping my teenage wife, I'm going to take my shoes off because I don't want to, quote, muddy up the floor. I don't want to fuck up your house. You know, that's not nice to do. So, wow.
Starting point is 00:29:33 So he takes his shoes off, which is fucking ridiculous. He does that. He opened up the door and he says he took two or three steps into the Quonset hut. He said, pistol was in his hand at that point. Oh, he pulled it out. Okay. He said, pistol was in his hand, pointed at the floor. Now, I guess Timothy, Timothy Peter Bean goes by Peter.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Okay. Because his next thing is, is he said, this is his quote, quote, I said, Pete. And he immediately looked up. And as soon as he saw me, Pete, and he immediately looked up. And as soon as he saw me, he rose and reached for a rifle on the gun rack. I was just standing there after I had said, Pete, he was reaching for the rifle on the gun rack. I said, don't. And at that time, I fired at well, a warning shot into the wall, which would have been
Starting point is 00:30:21 to Mr. Bean's right at the lower side of the gun rack. He said, no, don't, and fired off, which is the way to get someone to not return fire, is to fire at them. That's how you get them to calm down, is to fire a gun at them. Firing a gun in my vicinity is not a warning shot. That is, I'm a bad shot, and you better arm yourself and fire back. Yeah, if he shot one into the ceiling that would be different but he shot one in his direction that would make one in the floor
Starting point is 00:30:49 be like i better unload whatever i have so that's what that's his that's his story at that point he said that um after he fired the the warning shot he said mrs bean pregnant mrs Bean came into her Kwanzaa hut and gathered up her children and took them out of the room. What is this? The children. He came in the house. There are children in there. And fired a fucking bullet across a room with two small children in it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:19 I don't give a shit if it was a warning. You can't do that. That's crazy time. I get that it's Alaska. It's 1970.'s bears i suppose that's fine but you can't just do this you can't shoot shit so he said he did all of this um he said she took the children out of the room she said during this time bean because when she came in and took the kids out that kind of put a pause on everything like hey time out car you know okay time in game on game on so during this time bean used this to load his rifle mr bean slaps the magazine in his
Starting point is 00:31:54 rifle which is words you probably never thought you'd hear before mr bean then loaded his rifle he's about to destroy whistler's mother that That's the Bean movie I want to see, where Bean's had enough. Bean's seeking vengeance against some kind of terrorist or something, and he's going on like a bond mission where he's... The acetone that ruined the painting, he just shoots a hole in it, and now there's a hole in the painting. Bean's at a black site in Turkmenistan, torturing a member of ISIS for information.

So as he's loading it up, Bean's loading up the rifle, Mrs. Bean then came back in and approached her husband, according to Condom, and said to him, quote, don't, he's got a gun.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I know. I get that. He just bucked a shot off in a tin Quonset hut. I heard it. Trust me. There was a bullet inside here. It's now outside. I see that hole and I can see
Starting point is 00:34:47 clear through to the next Quonset hut. That's that. So Stone, he's got a gun and according to Condom, Mr. Bean pushed Mrs. Bean out of the way and started to turn toward him with the gun. He was like, out of my way, bitch. I'm going to kill him
Starting point is 00:35:04 and turned with the gun. At was like, out of my way, bitch. I'm going to kill him and turned with the gun. At this point, Condom said that he had no choice but to fire the fatal shot into Mr. Bean. And he said that he believed himself in danger when Bean swung around with the rifle and he had to shoot him.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Never mind that you barged in his house with a gun and fired a shot off. That's the ultimate, hey, you know, I should probably return fire to you because you barged in my house with a gun. That's a bad thing. You're in danger that you just created. Yeah, you made the danger. Exactly. That's like, you know, I robbed this 7-Eleven and the guy had a gun back there.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Next thing I know, he's shooting at me. I'm like, hey, chill out, man. Like, what the fuck? So now here is Cordova's story is adore cordova here's his story and this is kind of uh all of their stories in one just kind of use it through cordova here and this is what i assume is probably what actually yeah really fucking happened um cordova and barnes and all that it's it's basically everything's the same they left they left in the morning go get the truck out of the mud and came back that's about the only thing they all agree on okay okay um oh and they went into the kwanzit hut and bean was
Starting point is 00:36:19 sitting in the kwanzit hut with mrs condom and then the three of them went over to the Kwanzaa hut and then that's when the stories diverge. Okay. He's saying that Condom didn't come over till 20 minutes later. So he sat and deliberated about it. Condom said it was no more than two to three minutes because he was waiting for his
Starting point is 00:36:39 wife to get ready. She didn't get ready fast enough. He quote merely backhanded her loaded up his 32 and left meanwhile it's 20 minutes so 20 minutes is a lot of time for deliberation that's why those things matter you know what i mean enough time to cool off or consider what you're about to do exactly that makes it go from that that ups a degree of murder is what that does if you had a chance to think about it yeah yeah so um so it's about 15 to 20 minutes later they say that condom walked towards the con the kwanzit hut carrying his pistol out so he he
Starting point is 00:37:13 walked over to it with his gun out ready already which is a sign of aggression i would say um barn said that he was standing on the porch with m. Bean. That's the stories match up there. When he saw a condom coming with his wife in tow, Mrs. Condom is behind him. I'm sure trailing at a reasonable distance, whatever he allows her to trail at. He said that Mrs. Condom had blood on her and her hair was all fucked up.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Oh my. Which is not how she looked 20 minutes earlier when they came into the Quonset hut and she didn't have, her hair was not fucked up and she didn't have blood all over her, okay? So she looked like she's been through the ringer in the last 20 minutes, okay? Now, Cordova says that this is all,
Starting point is 00:37:59 they're taking in this scene as it comes, he's got a gun, she looks like she got the shit beaten out of him and they're like, whoa, something's coming down here this is like in tombstone there's a lot of eye contact being made back and forth people are itching at their holsters this is getting weird so uh barnes then asks uh condom hey where are you going and condom looked at him and said dick meaning richard uh he's richard so he said dick he fucked my wife meaning mr bean dick he fucked my wife so mrs bean is out on the porch uh and condom asked her if where's your husband and mrs bean said inside i would have said not home would have been the
Starting point is 00:38:45 better response she said he's in there or why yeah he's coming up with his beat-up teenage wife holding a gun saying that he fucked my wife so if you're telling him you're i guess wanting him to go in and shoot him i don't know that's that's what it seems like he's in there you guys could sort it out yeah not my fucking problem at that point. So Cordova says that after he and he they all you know they were there. I guess at this point supper was being cooked too. They were cooking dinner. Mr. Mrs. Bean was cooking dinner. When he came in, when Mr. Condom came in, Mr. Bean was lying face down on two or three cushions on the living room couch, playing with the children, drinking coffee and smoking a cigarette. So he's like laying on his stomach with his arm hanging off the couch, playing with the kids and, you know, smoking and drinking a cup of coffee or whatever. So not in an aggressive position at all. They're very, very vulnerable.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Yeah. And I guess Cordova was sitting next to him. That's how Cordova knows how all this went down. Condom entered the house mad and crying. Crying. And holding a gun. Yeah. So this is all very dangerous.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Okay. Cordova said that Condom pointed the gun toward Mr. and he said it was like you were hypnot it was like he was hypnotized you know you just couldn't believe what was going on right now like he said it was just everybody was just kind of frozen like what the fuck is going on here this is not not at all what they expect to happen now cordova says that that uh mr condom said quote uh pete if you fuck around with my wife again i'll kill you and then he fired a shot into the wall so it was like a warning shot around this kids yeah morning oh hi everybody smells delicious mrs bean we got some gourmet coffee that's not that freeze-dried taste of choice. That's some gourmet shit here.
Starting point is 00:40:48 So, yeah, this is what's going on. And then Bean stood up to get his rifle and made a motion. I guess Cordova says he touched it, but it never left the rack. Oh. Like he was like, I got my hand on it. Like, hey, you know, whatever. He said at this time, uh, condom fired another bullet and Cordova said, I thought at first he was hit on the shoulder because he threw his shoulder back,
Starting point is 00:41:10 meaning, uh, bean, but he wasn't. I heard that it was, it hit the aorta, hit him right in the fucking power, right in the heart,
Starting point is 00:41:17 right in the artery there. Yeah, not good. So, uh, after the second shot was fired, Cordova and Barnes jumped up and fucking tack, tried to tackle Condom to get the gun out of his hand. Because you don't know if he's going to slaughter everybody now.
Starting point is 00:41:31 There's kids around. What the fuck are you doing? So during the struggle, the gun goes off again. Boom. Luckily, it doesn't hit anybody. Thank fuck. Because it's just a wayward shot. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:44 So in the middle of all this there's a big struggle a three-man struggle i mean this is an action scene man fucking gun firing off in a in a kwanzaa hut it's very loud then barnes in the middle of the struggle looks over and grabs a kerosene lamp which how many kerosene lamps are sitting in your living room right now? Well, if you don't live in a Quonset hut, I guess maybe not. So he grabs a kerosene lamp and wallops Condom over the head with a kerosene lamp. It's not lit. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Soaking him in kerosene and getting glass and metal all over him because it's a glass tube. It's not good. So eventually, after being bashed with the kerosene lamp and having two people fight with him, Condom finally lets go of the gun. Now Cordova goes over to where Mr. Bean had been shot, and he said that Bean appears unconscious at that point. So yeah, Cordova tells Condom,
Starting point is 00:42:40 go for help, asshole, you shot him. Fucking go for help, and tells Barnes to go over to your Quonset hut and, quote, hide the other guns that were there. Oh, my God. Because he's got his own guns and this guy's got... So he's like, hey, if you don't want your guns taken with this idiot, hide all your guns,
Starting point is 00:42:58 because I'm sure everybody's got a criminal record and I'm sure nobody's allowed to have weapons up here in this whole camp. So, yeah, eventually the security police from the nearby naval station arrive and that's who's around. There's no cops here. So lawless. This is like the NCIS comes over there and it's like, hey, guys, how you doing? Fucking Mark Harmon shows up. So finally, after a little while, a state trooper finally shows up because they have some state troopers.
Starting point is 00:43:26 And he, quote, determined that Bean was dead. Well, yeah, you've been waiting an hour. Of course he's dead by now. We could have told you that an hour from before. That's why we called you, stupid. He determined the floor to be locked up. Yeah, to be a little muddy, to be muddied up. So they took Condom into custody, obviously, here.
Starting point is 00:43:45 He was saying it's self-defense. He grabbed for his gun, but obviously there's a dead guy here. He's taken to the Kodiak City Jail and held in lieu of $7,500 bond. That seems light for a murder, no? I don't know. It might be funnier if they held him in in lieu of five hundred dollars bond and he couldn't raise that he can't raise it no he can't he can't raise that he can't raise shit yeah so in court he's a he's a character in court boy this is when we get some of the
Starting point is 00:44:16 craziest shit now oh boy in court this is a conversation he has with a judge okay and it's wonderful and the way he's talking is clearly he likes he it's almost like he has a script and he's like i'm gonna sound not dumb okay he says quote it's my understanding that my attorney has approached you for a postponement or a continuance of my hearing and you have denied this may i ask why perhaps i may inquire now does a man who lives in a quonset hut in the woods with his teenage bride talk like that who shares a quonset hut in the woods with two other men and his teenage bride talk like that who the fuck asked that question when that is your lifestyle you're tied to nothing may i ask why um the court here is the the judge says quote i told
Starting point is 00:45:10 mr johnson who's his attorney to make every effort to get ready and if he could that this included my intervention uh to allow mr johnson to have access to the information in the district attorney's files he has advised me that he's ready to proceed and under the circumstances will proceed. A little background here. The judge, once he got arrested and arraigned and everything, he set a court date for like 10 days later because there's not a lot of court going on in Kodiak and this is a murder. So he sets it for like 10 days later and Condom's complaint is that the lawyer assigned to him
Starting point is 00:45:44 didn't have enough time to prepare for the trial yeah and the judge said well i asked him if he was prepared and he told me all the things he did and that's all the things you can do to prepare and says he says he's comfortable and ready to proceed so if everyone says they're comfortable and everyone says they're prepared yeah we're going like just three yeah yeah you don't think he's prepared you're also a guy who lives in a fucking kwanzaa hut what are we talking about you're not a lawyer so break and break and so mr condom says quote well your honor as far as i'm concerned which is the first time he's ever said that probably i've gained nothing by uh by
Starting point is 00:46:23 defending through this attorney mr johnson and do care to dismiss him at this time do care to dismiss him at this time and he talks like duck holiday and fuck it talks like val kilmer and doc i'll be in duck holiday and at this time and would like for the court if it pleases the court for the court to appoint me another attorney if it pleases the court it does not please the court it pleases you so the judge says well i'm going to deny that application i'd rather not so here comes mr condom again another thing is what he says i've not had the i've not had whoa i've not had the chance to properly discuss this case with my attorney. He went to Kodiak.
Starting point is 00:47:08 He talked to witnesses and things of that sort. I asked him to take me with him. He did not do this. I asked him to talk to certain people up there. He did not. He's also an acquaintance with one of my state's witnesses against me. Isadora Cordova, who is a homosexual. So what fucking difference? with one of my state's witnesses against me, Isadora Cordova, who is a homosexual. So?
Starting point is 00:47:26 What fucking difference? I guess in 1970, that disqualified you from society. Oh, he's a homo. He can't be trusted then. You know. I wonder what the guy cruising scene is like in the Alaskan Kwanzit Hut wilderness. In the backwoods of Alaska?
Starting point is 00:47:46 Yeah. I assume it's like gold prospecting. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Jackpot! Brawny man! Like, I don't know. It's so lonesome out there. You might catch a lot of cock.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Maybe you would, yeah. It might be fruitful. It might be good times. Maybe he's got it right. I don't know. I'm just saying. If I was to go to a lumber camp looking for chicks, that wouldn't be the smartest thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:08 So he you just you go where people that you want are. So he said that, yeah, Isidore Cordova, who is a homosexual. And it's my understanding that when he was up in Kodiak, he talked to Mr. Cordova, but not in regards to my case. He only. So what? They just had like a, is he implying a relationship between, he just implied a relationship, right, between his attorney and Cordova? It's gotta be. Why else would you mention that? He said
Starting point is 00:48:36 he saw him, my gay friend, and he didn't even talk to him about the case, wink wink. What the fuck else could they have been talking about? They just had, yeah, they just drank some Cosmos and had girl talk. What are are we talking about that's what he like no you fucking idiot what a jackass uh he said i talked to mr cordover not in regards to my case he only spoke with the trooper and mr barnes he didn't attempt to locate my wife or any of the people on my behalf for defense in my behalf. So the judge says, quote, just a minute. Hang on there, condom.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Wait a minute here. He says, I've been kept abreast of Mr. Johnson. I'm aware of what he's done. He's had access to the information in the district attorney's files. I understand they've been made available. Is that correct? He asked the district attorney and he says, yes, it has. And he the judge says, at my request, he's devoted his sole attention to preparing this case since the last time you appeared here. And it was necessary to relieve the public defender's office and appoint Mr. Johnson because he appointed him. This lawyer is a is not a public defender. He's a pay lawyer that the court appointed to the thing here. So he's not got a public defender he doesn't have a public defender then he said i've asked mr johnston this is the judge still and he's assured
Starting point is 00:49:49 me that he's given up everything else that he could in order to prepare for this case and he's ready to go this morning um so we get into it and condom testifies on his own behalf by the way like a moron you have to right well yeah it's your story versus everyone else's around you've got to be more believable than them than women children your friends you know you're a gay guy oh god that was insane so condoms testimony was that he he only backhanded his wife first of all it's way overblown that she was bloody and her hair was messed up. He just backhanded her and then they walked over there. That's what he said. Come on.
Starting point is 00:50:28 How bad is that? He's like, whatever. She wasn't punctual. Come on. Meanwhile, everybody else said that she told them that he beat her with a belt buckle in the head, producing the bruises and the cuts, and then pistol whipped her as well. Oh, God. That's what that's what he did and um he said i just backhanded her meanwhile she was all busted up all busted up so um the prosecutor here figured he would say that and uh the problem is they really would love to
Starting point is 00:51:01 call mrs condom in there but they claim marital privilege and they can't. She's not allowed to testify. And she's terrified anyway. Yeah, she's not allowed to testify because I'm sure he would. I don't know if he would force her to lie or what, but instead he forced her not to testify. Basically said that we have marital privilege. You can't have that. So they couldn't compel her to testify.
Starting point is 00:51:23 I think marital privilege only applies if you're an adult. Can we say that? How about that? Is that a deal we can all make? Only with adults. If you marry children, they can testify against you. I think that's a really little loophole that we can have. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:38 At that point, they have to. So, yeah, they wanted to. They tried to, but it wouldn't work. So they said that the – this is the record here. This is from the court document. They say that basically he tries the prosecutors trying to get him to admit to doing more than backhanding his wife. And this is the question and answer that goes on back and forth between him and an attorney when condoms on the stand attorney. back and forth between him and an attorney when condoms on the stand attorney as a matter of fact the district attorney this is as a matter of fact mr condon isn't it true that what really happened
Starting point is 00:52:11 was you went into your bedroom and saw some spots on your bed which caused you to be suspicious and he says no sir that's the answer so um the prosecutor says isn't that true that's the answer. So the prosecutor says, isn't that true? That's the first indication you had. And he said, no, sir. Prosecutor says, and isn't it true that after you came out and demanded of your wife whether or not she had had intercourse and she denied it? Isn't that true? And he says, no, sir. Prosecutor says, and isn't it true, Mr. Condon, that from time from that time forward, you beat her with a belt buckle, the hard end of a belt buckle and with your hands and with other objects until she admitted to you. And there's an objection and it's overruled.
Starting point is 00:52:54 And he says, you hit her with a pistol, didn't you? And he says, no, sir. So that's a lot. So they've got a pretty good story of what really happened. Yeah. I didn't even sleep together. That's that's a lot. So they've got a pretty good story of what really happened. Yeah. They didn't even sleep together. That's questionable. It's questionable.
Starting point is 00:53:09 That probably happened from all indications. But, I mean, it's what happens in Quonset hot life. That's it, man. Everybody's everybody. It's all. What are you going to do? It's the life of a Quonset. gonna do that's the life of a kwanzit so they um the prosecutor then shows a series of photographs which depicts mrs condom with bruises and shit all over her face and body she looks like she got
Starting point is 00:53:32 in a car accident and he's like i backhanded her once like yeah right bro come on photographs yeah they were admitted into evidence um they tried to object to it it's irrelevant it's prejudicial it's like well yeah that's the point he's an asshole then the prosecutor goes on to have this conversation with you and on quote and on still other times isn't it true you've determined that the best way to get along with this young girl meaning his wife is to beat her every once in a while and he says no sir then he says and how old is your wife now mr condom and they object and it's overruled and he says quote the best line ever she'll be 18 in december now the minus one is a modest that now the prosecutor says, quote, she was 13 when you were married in any event.
Starting point is 00:54:30 What? 13. Third. Believe teen. And isn't it a fact that you made a special trip into Virginia in order to marry her for four hours. You were in Virginia for four hours so that you knew you couldn't marry this young child anywhere else. Yeah. And he said, no, sir. Which is actually false.
Starting point is 00:54:54 That is what happened. So he took her to Virginia and married her when she was 13 years old. Across so many state lines. 13. So it's illegal to take a so many state lines. 13. So it's illegal to take a minor across state lines unless you're going there to marry them. Then it's fine. Can you do that? Can you get prosecuted for every state line?
Starting point is 00:55:17 I would hope so. 13. That should be at least 14 cases of interstate travel. Right? I can't even fathom 13. Oh, my God. That should be at least 14 cases of interstate travel. Right? I can't even fathom 13. Oh, my God. You've got so many states to change your mind.
Starting point is 00:55:31 That's gross, man. 13 is a young child. 13 is not. Yeah. There's guys that'll be like, oh, this girl, she's 16. She said she's 22. I thought she was 25. No, you didn't. If she she's 13 you certainly didn't think
Starting point is 00:55:46 she was a fucking adult or she doesn't know what 13 year olds don't seem like an adult you're into that because you like kids that's what you're into that's a child find her where are her parents what the fuck i assume if they allowed her to go to fucking virginia when she was 13 and be married then they're not really doing very well anyway. So, holy shit. They show they get into his defense and they show they have electro. What is this electroencephalograph? That's what it's called. It's a brain scan.
Starting point is 00:56:17 It shows that he has organic brain damage. I could have told you that just by everything that's going on here. brain damage. I could have told you that just by everything that's going on here. The medical opinion said that the brain damage made the defendant prone to seizures and often associated with abnormal behavior.
Starting point is 00:56:34 A psychiatrist's opinion based on the exam showed that he was not insane, but had a compulsive personality marked by strong emotional instability. Yeah. Sounds right. The record indicates that he has been drinking heavily prior to the homicides
Starting point is 00:56:51 and was hypersensitive to alcohol as well. Yeah. Yeah. So at trial, the defense called no witnesses, really. That was just through opening and closing statements they put out their thing and him testifying as well. Other than him, they they called no witnesses to as to his mental state is what they called. And the psychiatrist didn't consult with him during the trial at all.
Starting point is 00:57:16 This was post trial. They did this. The they said the defense is that he did not have the necessary intent for first degree murder. But, you know, basically it was just a it was a crazy accident that happened. Just a crazy thing when guys fuck each other's wives and then play with guns. So, yeah, he's off. He also says that, you know, organic brain damage. I mean, come on, look at this.
Starting point is 00:57:39 What are we kidding me? Jesus. So the court. This is wild too the court delayed about 20 minutes after learning that um that he about the he the the bean and him and his wife fucking thing they had to take a break because the whole court got all like in a tizzy over it it's fucked up so um yeah they said they were going over there uh the They figure the jury ends up. It can't take that long to figure this out.
Starting point is 00:58:09 The prosecutor said, we think that the range of reasonable inferences, which could have been drawn from this evidence, permitted the issues of his premeditation and malice. So basically, you can see what he fucking did. You know what he did. Verdict comes in. Goddamn guilty yeah fuck off i mean please jesus christ here so in sentencing the trial judge has quite a lot to say and it's fucking wonderful this is a good you sir may fuck off he says the minimum sentence established by laws 15 years the maximum sentence of course is up to life. First, as I understand,
Starting point is 00:58:45 there's one prior conviction of a violation of the Dyer Act. What the fuck that is. I consider it under the circumstances here, there was some provocation prior to the shooting of Mrs. Condon prior to the shooting. Mrs. Condon
Starting point is 00:59:02 admitted to sexual relationship with the deceased. Thereafter, the defendant administered a beating to his wife, armed himself, and went to the Quonset hut occupied by the deceased and his family. I've reviewed the statements, excluding the statement of the defendant,
Starting point is 00:59:17 because he's a jerk off, obviously, and I've reviewed the psychiatric report. The conclusions of the psychiatrist are these. Superficial charm, an absence of delusions, maybe somewhat paranoid, shows little anxiety. The individual is unreliable, often will convince others of his reliability, then repeat the act. He is unusually truthful, but convinces others of his sincerity. Untruthful, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:46 He's unusually untruthful, but convinces others of his sincerity. Untruthful, I'm sorry. He's unusually untruthful, but convinces others of his sincerity. So he lies convincingly, showing a lack of remorse or shame about an act and will often brag about it. Often exhibits antisocial behavior, is inadequately motivated, main excuses are offered for failure, judgment is poor, fails to learn by experience.
Starting point is 01:00:06 This is the small town murder like resume here to be on the show. Often like the brainpower of a three year old. Oh, yeah. He's got a complete impulse. He's like a teenager. Often humanistic. Usually has limited capacity to love others showing a strong self-love or to love others showing a strong self-love often shows the general poverty in sharing major catastrophic situations involving
Starting point is 01:00:33 others has a specific loss of insight with little awareness of the trouble he causes others responds poorly in any personal relationship in any personal relationship uh shows other interests and does not want to get too involved often will get drunk and act out sexually uh with attachments or casual maybe homosexual or heterosexual often job jumper uh that is gets mad blows up and quits yep okay he goes on to, I don't consider any statement or opinion by the arresting officer as being of any significance and I combine my facts and the conclusions upon which I draw
Starting point is 01:01:12 for the purpose of sentencing to the psychiatric report to the statements of what I've heard in the trial case. I think the conclusions of the psychiatrist are borne out to a considerable degree. All that sounds reasonable from what I've heard is what he just said. All that shit that he just read, read those are none of that's good yeah that's a terrible murderer personality yes doesn't give a fuck about people society danger to everyone absolutely so um he
Starting point is 01:01:38 says all of this he says um i think the conclusions are borne out to a considerable degree during the evident during the events that led to the shooting two children and the wife of the deceased and Isidore Cordova were present. The manner in which the defendant conducted himself created an extreme danger to those persons as well as the object of his anger. I take into consideration the seriousness of the act itself. Homicide is always a matter of the utmost gravity. I've taken into consideration the provocation and have indicated the psychiatric report and the statements in the testimony. I believe in this instant that the deterrent factor has to be strongly considered that
Starting point is 01:02:18 taking these factors into consideration. It's my judgment that you, sir, may fuck off 20 years in jail wow 20 seems like yeah so light well he took into account that the guy reached for a gun yeah now whether he caused that or not at that moment he said okay that maybe i can even maybe you brought it over to scare him but and then it got out of control so we'll give you the benefit of that doubt we're not going to give you the minimum but you're not getting the maximum either i think you get a little you give him extra just for having a fucking wife that he married when he was 13 let's i'm gonna tack on an extra 20 for
Starting point is 01:03:00 that even though i'm gonna say it's for this but in my mind it's for that i know i did it for it feels like that judge has been cheated on and he's like yeah i can i can see it i mean i get it tracks in my bed too it happens i've seen puddles um so he tries to appeal on the grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel saying his counsel didn't have time to get ready what he was arguing about in the beginning and they said said, sure he did. Fuck you. So 1984, he goes on a hunger strike to protest certain prison conditions. It was Roland Schufty,
Starting point is 01:03:35 who's serving a 30-year sentence for murder, James Condom, serving a 20-year sentence for murder and probation violation, and Peter Matamik, who's serving a two- year sentence for burglary. He's going on a hunger strike. It's going on a hunger strike.
Starting point is 01:03:49 You'll be out in a minute. Uh, they asked to see the, they want, they said there's a lack of hot water there and more officers need to be assigned for safety and that the shift supervisor should visit maximum security at least once a day. And that's inmates with severe medical problems
Starting point is 01:04:05 should be not be placed in maximum security and also delays in sending out mail within a week the madam meat guy dropped out of the hunger strike and then then yeah and then two days later condom dropped out of the hunger strike and then the one guy was still there as they asked the officers are you gonna have to force feed the the last guy and they said no in fact mr shifty has gained two pounds so he's lying his ass off i don't know what he's doing at some point he must have gotten out of prison obviously for 20 years and the only thing i could find in 2019 i found a foreclosure on a trailer under the name James A. Condon in Sitka, Alaska. Oh, he's still there. So it might be him, but there was also other – there was a James A. Condon who was like a politician in the 60s and 70s.
Starting point is 01:04:57 That's who I kept finding when I did find Condon. And so that might be part. But if not, I don't know if that politician would have a trailer repossessed over $194.08 in back owed money. That's what it was owed for. That's a win for the bank. I feel like you're getting more than $200 out of that. Probably, because they foreclosed. That's all we know about it. Either way, that's Kodiak, Alaska, everybody.
