The answers were there, hidden in plain sight.
So why did it take so long to catch him?
I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer,
the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York,
since the son of Sam, available now.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of the On Purpose podcast.
Recently, I had the honor of sitting down with the iconic Chris Jenner.
Even if one of your children has been through something really difficult with their partner or an ex-partner,
you still love them as part of the unit and the family.
These are the fathers of my grandchildren, and that love doesn't go away when,
and we experience really challenging times with them.

Welcome to Dirty Rush, The Truth About Sorority Life,
with your host, me, Gia Judice, Daisy Kent, and Jennifer Fessler.
Hi, guys, welcome back to another episode of Dirty Rush.
So before we get into today's episode, Gia, I just,
saw something that was a little frightening.
It sounds like you had some kind of a something happened,
an attack of maybe panic attack or something at BravoCon.
You called 911.
Yeah, I've never experienced it to that length before.
So I talked all about it in my Gea Diaries,
but when I was getting my hair done,
it was after I got my makeup done.
So I had been up for like an hour at this point.
Yeah.
And I just literally felt like my chest was closing.
My hands and feet started going numb and tingling.
And I just, like, didn't know what was going on.
I've, like, experienced anxiety before.
But this was, like, another level.
And so I looked back at, like, Christian, my hair and makeup artist.
Ariana was in the room with me.
And I was like, I'm sorry, guys.
Like, call 911.
I don't know what's going on.
That's so scary.
Yeah, that's very scary.
It was just, like, a full-blown.
I think it was a panic attack, but it makes no sense because nothing happened to me that
like I would be panicking over or, you know, like it was, nothing, nothing happened and I wasn't
drinking. So it was very weird. And then, um, honestly, I mean, I know in Vegas, it's like higher
elevation. I was definitely dehydrated. I definitely wasn't drinking as much water as I should
have been. And I also just wasn't eating. So it was just probably a comp, and like lack of sleep.
So was it a panic attack?
Is that what?
I mean, they, they checked all my levels and my heart rate and blood pressure were the only things that were elevated.
Everything else was fine.
So they were like, if you go to the hospital, they'll most likely discharge you.
So then I ended up just getting an IV drip.
And they did say that it was a panic attack.
It felt like it was an hour, but it probably only realistically lasted like 20 minutes.
Yeah.
But the paramedics, it was, I was like holding the paramedics hand.
I was like, oh.
I was like, I was like, you're so calming.
Like, thank you.
It's scary when that stuff happens.
I feel like also if you like don't feel well and you're like that like running low on energy, then like and something starts feeling wrong, then you can like induce a panic attack because you're like, have you worried that something isn't feeling it.
I have.
I've had a couple, but they were like very weird scenarios.
But yeah, I had one actually like at the very end of the bad.
I had my first panic attack.
I was like, I need to go home.
This is bad.
I feel like that makes sense.
I feel like you're probably not alone.
Yeah.
I mean, it's the weirdest feeling.
You literally feel like you're dying.
It's like I thought I was having a heart attack.
Yeah.
No, it's crazy.
It's like your whole body just like every part of your body like freaks out.
Yeah.
No, that was that was something I've never felt before and never want to feel again in my life.
I'm sorry that happened.
God, you're okay, though.
No, thank you.
Yeah.
Once they started breathing with me, things were better, but I just, I was dead.
Listen, BravoCon can be stress-inducing, to say the least, right?
Yeah.
It just, it's a lot.
It is a lot.
It is a lot.
Well, this is going to be light and easy and fun.
Our episode is, I think, going to be a blast because we're talking about Hollywood,
Greek life as opposed to the reality of,
Greek life. So, uh, we're talking, let's talk about some of the movies that have
represented Greek life frats and sororities and everything sort of in between. Let's like
separate the Greek myths from the truth. And we're going to start out, you guys. And I am going
to take a wager a bet that you've never seen this movie. If you're wrong, have you ever seen
Animal House? No, I'm looking at right now. And I don't know what this is.
movie is. Oh, my God, you guys, that is so tragic. I can't even believe it because it's an iconic movie. I do love the old movies, though. Like, I rather watch an old movie than, you know, some of the new movies that are out now. But I've never heard of this.
I can not believe you've never heard of Admiral House. I'm going to have to like, I'm going to have to mull that over later. It's a little depressing. But anyway, okay, so Animal House, I want to, it probably was among the first in terms of movies about Greek life.
Have you ever, right.
Have you ever heard of John Belushi?
No, forget it.
You guys are not.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
So, so the movie is about, there's like this fictional college.
What was the name of it?
I don't know.
And just like a very typical American college.
And there was this frat called the deltas.
And it was sort of like the house of misfit toys, right?
Like all the guys in it were either they were nerds,
Or they were like, or they were like, there was this one guy that was very handsome and smart.
And then there was the other frat that was what was at the time, you know, like the typical, still, typical frat boy frat, right?
And so the two frats hated each other.
And but it explored like, of course, you know, sororities and parties and rules.
But it was, it went further than you guys would ever.
have gone further than any movie today would probably have taken it because it was so politically
incorrect. Like there was so much that went on that was insane. There was this really there's this
scene where so some of the boys are in ROTC and they have like I don't know and one of the
like they're hazing everyone right and one of the hazing if you guys ever heard of the
expression thank you sir can I have another no I can't do this forget you guys I can't do this
with you. I cannot, because I'm going to know the movies you're talking about. This is just
pathetic. Whatever. So, like, there's this whole hazing thing, and where they hit this,
they have to bend over, and this guy with a paddle, like, takes it and, like, slams these,
like, this kid, like, right in the ass. And, like, and then they have to, thank you, sir,
can I have another. And he goes back off. And he would, it's, it's over the top. And then
there's, like, a toga party, which is iconic. Have you guys had toga parties? Yes, yes. Yes.
No, thank God.
Okay, but this toga party is, it's like at another, it took everything and it exaggerated it.
There's one of the, one of the guys from Delta asks this girl at a grocery store out.
It turns out she's 13.
Like shit that that is just, you know, it's probably wouldn't have even been in a movie at this, probably wouldn't be in a movie at this point.
There's these food fights in the cafeteria.
And it's just, it's so funny.
It is, I suggest that you watch.
it. Maybe don't tell your moms what I'm suggesting that, but it's really, because it's very
politically incorrect, but it is, it's just the Greek world, but exaggerated. And although maybe I don't
know, maybe I'm out of touch at 57. Maybe this stuff does still go down. I mean, I went to,
you guys know, like a southern school and things were maybe more proper. This was Greek life
out of control. I don't know if you guys ever had, you know, like there were fights.
And there were like, the girls were like, the boys would like climb them up the ladder and watch and go into the windows of the sorority house.
And the girls were like all naked and dancing and like doing like a pillow fight, but their boobs with their boobs out.
And then one of the girls starts to masturbate and like John Belushi falls off his ladder as he's watching her or he's sneaking under the bleachers to look up these girls, the sorority girls panties.
that would not fly.
Yeah, this is nuts.
Yeah, this is nuts.
Again, maybe you should have watched it.
Kind of reminds me of like, I mean, not to the extent, but like Greece when like the one,
the one character, I forget his name in the movie, but he went under the bleacher.
Canicky.
Oh, that's not Kincky.
No, it was the other one that was.
He was, no, no, he wasn't, no, I forgot who he was dating, but he would go on to the
bleacher.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Do, uh, duty.
Duty.
Duty.
Well, this is, this is not, this is not, this is way raunchier than Greece and with no sing song.
See, like Greece is my favorite movie.
Yeah, Greece is such a good movie.
I would say the thing that you were saying, like, how the fraternity, like, was, like, one with, like, a bunch of people that were, like, nerds and, like, awkward or whatever.
I think at San Diego State, it's definitely, like, when I was there, it was, like, each frat was, like, known for something, like, Pike was, like, the smart bull.
that like did really well in school and then like essay you were like the really like party party guy
Pike was the smart boys yeah at the time oh my gosh that's so crazy I feel like Pike is like historically
known to be like the party frat that's so funny it's so like how it differs from school to school
is so interesting yeah yeah well like in at mine at UT ZBT that was sort of the cool boys right
but that's also like where you got hazed I want to say it might
have even gotten picked off campus because much less than what they're showing an animal
house. And then Sammy was sort of like the smart nice boys. So there is. There's always
that. But they were at war too. I think at Rutgers, Sammy was the smart nice boys too.
A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't

And I'm Jordan, the show's producer.
And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years.
I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't.
Because guys usually don't go to the doctor unless a piece of their face is hanging off or they've broken a bone.
Depends which bone.
Well, that's true.
Every week, we're breaking down the unique world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom.
You mean sleep?
Yeah, something like that, Jordan.
We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about.
It's going to be fun, whether you're 27, 97, or somewhere in between.
Men's Health is about more than six packs and supplements.

On Health Stuff, we're talking about health in a different way.
It's not only about what we can do to improve our health,
but also what our health says about us and the way we're living.
Like our episode where we look at diabetes.
In the United States, I mean, 50% of Americans are pre-diabetic.
How preventable is type 2?
Extremely.
Or our in-depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are.
Oh, it's hard to explain to the rest of the world that, like, your mangoes are fine because
mangoes are incredible, but like, you don't even know.
You don't know.
You don't know.
It's going to be a fun ride.

What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time?
You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe, most importantly, the first Latino to break prime time wide open.
I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others.
But for me, I saw myself in his story.
From plening canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways.
On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Volderama,
I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life,
the moments it has overlapped with mine,
how he redefined American television,
and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines,
waiting for a face like hours on screen.
This is the story of how one man's spotlight
lit the path for so many others
and how we carry his legacy today.

Did you ever see that though?
Were there ever like wars between frats?
If anything, only if like they did something like Pike, for example, would always get kicked
off campus.
So Pike would always still try to throw.
And when they did that, obviously like the cops would come.
come immediately because when your party isn't registered with the campus, the cops can come
and shut it down at any time. So then you would have like, um, Kai-Fi? I don't know. I'm like so
bad. But basically all the other frats, which were like nice, like, you know, nice frats and like they
had really nice houses on campus. They always followed the rules. So they had like the bigger parties
on campus, but, like, no one would, like, everyone would want to go, but, like, they would also
rather go to a Pike Party than a Sammy party. So it was like we would go to the Pike Party
and then go to Sammy after because they were still registered and the cops weren't there yet.
Right, right. Do you, which a quick aside, something, did all the, like, all Greek life
just stopped at North Carolina. Do you guys see this? Oh, I didn't see that. Did something happen?
Something happened. We don't have to get into that, I guess. But like just interestingly enough, I think it was hazing and they just like basically they shut down Greek life. I think at North Carolina. I feel like a lot of places that has been happening in like the last few years. I know San Diego State where I went. I know the Greek life has really like went down compared to what I usually or what it used to be is what I've heard. Yeah. Well, I mean, listen, again, stuff in the movies I don't think would fly. Although I don't know. I mean, you guys tell me what movies.
do you think compare at all?
Honestly, I don't really think any movies do.
I mean, they like get the like just behind it, like sorority, like sisterhood, like that stuff.
But like the parties and stuff.
I feel like the parties are so exaggerated.
Yeah.
Like I don't know.
The parties were not that fun when I was in school.
Okay, my, our parties were actually crazy.
I remember we like went.
There was one that was called like Candyland.
They like all had different themes.
So you would dress up for them.
And I was walking in to Candyland.
And this girl that I knew walked out and she had like blonde hair.
And she was just like her hair was like slicked down her.
And it looked brown because and then I walked in and I was like what just happened?
Like she looked like she was like covered in something.
And I walk in and all the guys had like the Hershey's chocolate like bottles and we're like spraying them like dumping them on
everyone like they were like these frat houses were destroyed oh my god i mean yeah i don't i felt
like mine were very like mediocre like they were fun obviously we had a good time but like very
mediocre when i look at places like university of miami or even some schools like like alabama
like that is another level yeah yeah we had big parties at uti they were really big parties
and there were really nice houses.
So even the frat houses were really nice.
Like big outdoor parties with there was always a band.
Everybody was always decked in whatever theme.
There was always like, I don't know, tons of food, tons of alcohol and like really, really nice big houses.
I mean, I don't know how much of that.
I guess I'm more down south.
They do parties like that, I would think.
Yeah.
So, yeah, a movie that resonates with me.
me, I feel like, is legally blonde, although some of the scenes I think are a bit exaggerated. Obviously,
L. Woods is just so funny. She was the president at Delta Nu, but that sorority in Legally Blonde was actually
based off of Delta Gamma at USC. So they were trying to, like, mimic another sorority, which
honestly, when I look at like Legally Blonde, I think of like Alabama. Like, she was the president of
For sorority, she was so proud, took so much pride. And, like, she really took it so seriously.
Like, she was at the top of her game. She looked apart, right? She, like, was perfect. She's like,
Daisy, like a gorgeous, blonde, sweet, you know, 100%. Surrity girl. Totally looked at her.
So, I mean, she really, like, I feel like described what it is to be, like, you know.
And she was very OCD. Like, she needed to.
everything organized. It was very like this, this and that. And that's why she was the president.
I mean, she took it very seriously. And then there was this one scene where all of her sorority
sisters were like writing her like a letter basically before she was going on a date with her
boyfriend at the time. They all thought that she was getting engaged and he was going to law
school. She was going to, you know, then she was going to go to law school to follow him and ended up
killing it, but she went on this date with him and he actually ended up breaking up with her.
So just little things like that.
Like I don't think my sorority sisters would have ever written me a note or a letter before going out on a date.
But I do think that it was, it was like a fun, like, corny description of like what a sorority
could be like and what sisterhood should feel like, I feel.
Oh, for sure.
I also, I like getting engaged in college, like leaving my sorority house, I'm just like, what that happens?
They thought they, yeah, no, they thought that she was going to get engaged, but he actually ended up breaking up with her.
That he dumps her. Yeah.
That was the whole ultimate, right? Like she was going to get engaged and they were so excited for her.
Yes. And they were going to go to Harvard and go to law school and live out this dream.
Yeah, that was the part that was so unexpected that all of a sudden she's like, that right, that all.
that all of a sudden she actually, wait a second, I'm brilliant, like I'm all things. I'm a gorgeous,
blonde sorority girl, but I'm also this badass, you know, brilliant young woman, which was
I love that part of the movie. Yeah. Yeah. And then she ended up going at law school and
she was like top of her class. Like she killed it. So. Right. Right. It was, it's a really
cute movie. It is. I love that movie. And there was like I, I, I, what does she do?
She has, oh, what is the dog's name?
She brings the dog with or wherever she goes.
Oh, everywhere she goes.
Oh, literally everywhere.
Bruiser.
Bruiser.
She brings Bruiser.
Like, Bruiser has, like, all the sorority outfits on, too.
And when she talks to Bruiser, like, it's like a sorority sister.
He's her best friend.
Tells him everything.
Literally, when I was in college, like, I could barely take care of myself.
I don't know.
I couldn't have a dog.
Yeah, Elle was together.
And she was, like, spraying perfume on her resume.
Do you guys remember that?
Oh, yes.
Could you guys have dogs in your sorority house?
No.
Yeah, I don't think we couldn't either.
We had a house dog.
A house dog.
Yeah, so we had a Golden Retriever house dog because our house mom had a dog.
And so she...
So it was like her dog that they let her keep there.
Yeah, yeah.
Like the sisters didn't like take care of the dog by any means.
It was just there for like emotional support.
I would think a dog would get scared out of its mind in a sorority house.
Yeah. Well, she was living with us. So, like, the dog was hers and yeah. Yeah. Do all sororities have a house mom? Like, I had a house mom in mind. I think it's pretty standard. Yeah. I did a million years ago. She, like, knew everything about us. We would all come home from, like, the frat parties and people would be, like, crying about boys or, like, talking about all this drama. Like, she was in on the tea. I kind of wonder, like, when you're talking about it, I think I should have been a,
My sorority mom just had like a glow up and all everyone from my sorority was like
freaking out about it.
But like we were like, oh, she definitely, you know, maybe got a boob job or I don't know
Zemphic.
Like she looks great.
Like we do after housewives wraps.
I think it would be fun to be a house mom, but in reality probably for me not at all.
Okay.
So I actually want to bring in this next movie.
So I'm going to bring in somebody from our team.
to tell us a little bit about it.
House Bunny.
It's such an iconic movie played by Anna Ferris.
She essentially is an ex-playboy bunny.
And it's a place to live and stumbles across sorority row, Greek Rome, tries to get into Phi Iota
Mu and then gets rejected there, goes down to Zeta Alpha Zeta.
and it's a bunch of weirdos and so she becomes their house mom and I think what's different about
this Greek movie is that it's not about like parties and chugging beers it's kind of like
Ana Ferris her character Shelley kind of tries to like get these the weird girls outcasts
you know out into the world and to do the college things and it's funny and Anna Ferris is like
iconic in it and she has this monster voice that everyone always recites um and she actually got
lip injections for the part which i thought was a painful thing and it was making me wonder if
everyone if that's like universal once you get into college you should get lip injections too is that
really you guys it's not universal if i got lip injections i would look like a clown yeah you have my lips
are already so big i would look like an actual clown.
I got lip injections like two years ago.
No, but that's different, Daisy.
Like if you actually, listen, if you actually have small lips and you want to like plump
them up a little bit.
Yeah.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
I just hate when people get like completely carried away.
Oh, like I've told my mom a couple times, maybe we need to dissolve the lip filler and start
over.
She did, didn't she?
Yeah, she did.
I thought she started because they look great.
No, yeah, she did.
She started over.
But you know what?
And this is also what I think sometimes, like,
because when my mom has no makeup on her like it doesn't nothing looks bad like her lips don't even
look that big it's when you get your makeup done sometimes or even when you're doing your makeup and
the overlining gets carried away too so then you start the overlining which i feel like kind
of became a thing when we were in college daisy i mean at least it did for me that's i feel like
that's right when it like yeah then it's like you start overlining and it's like oh my gosh like this is
too much.
A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers,

What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time?
You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband,
and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break primetime wide open.
I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others.
But for me, I saw myself in his story.
From plening canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways.
On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life.
The moments it has overlapped with mine, how he redefined American television,
and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines,
waiting for a face like hours on screen.
This is the story of how one-man's spotlight
lit the path for so many others
and how we carry his legacy today.

Do girls have plastics?
Like at that age, nobody.
in my sorority had anything like maybe there was a nose job yeah i mean i know i know a few girls
that got boob jobs and i know a few girls that got nose jobs yeah i would say boob and nose jobs were
the two most common like i i got my nose done when i was in college
because i didn't want to get it done when i was in high school because i just and i also
would never get my nose done if my no-no was still alive so why because i he said that
that I had his nose.
Oh.
So I felt so guilty.
Like, and I always hated my nose, but that's why my mom never knew I hated it.
Like, my no, no, never knew.
Like, nobody ever knew because I felt so guilty, like, being like, oh, like, yes, no, no,
it looks so cute on you, but I actually hated so much.
That is the cutest thing I've ever heard that you didn't want anyone to know.
No, so then I mean, obvious, I would never want it.
I would wish for him back instantly,
but he unfortunately passed away during COVID.
And then when he passed away, I told my mom,
I was like, okay, I actually hate my nose.
And she was like, what?
I had no idea.
A gorgeous nose.
So I don't even remember it before.
It was gorgeous now.
It was, it literally was just a bigger version of this.
Like they just made my old nose smaller.
But I feel like, because all,
Also, I feel like in college people start to do a little more because they're out of their
hometown and they don't want to receive the judgment of their hometown.
So then they do it when they're in college because I feel like when you're in college,
like nobody really gives a shit.
Yeah.
I feel like your hometown.
Like I love my hometown and like the people from there.
But like it can be judgmental.
Oh, yeah.
And especially if like you come back looking 10 times hotter, they're like, oh, what'd she do?
You don't feel like that
And you didn't feel like that in your sororities
Like it was judgmental
I don't know
I felt like people didn't really care too much
Yeah
Unless like something looked bad
Like I think if
Someone did got something done
Like people obviously talked about it
But it would suck when they would talk about it
Like if it looked bad
Yeah
But when I got my nose down
I felt like no one really talked about me
Yeah
I remember when I came back
my, I think it was like my sophomore year of college. And everyone thought that I got a
boob job, which I didn't. I just finally got my boobs. But the same things happened to my sister.
Like not until they were like, 21, did they get poops? But I was like, everyone was like,
you got a boob job. And I was like, I did not. But even if I did, who cares? But I didn't.
You guys feel like, like even these movies like talking about like House Bunny, how like some sorority
houses, like Anna Farris, he said, Emma went in and tried to, like, get these girls to, I guess, come out of
their shell a little bit. But, like, in terms of just physically, was it like that for you guys
were like, this sorority house is all pretty girls, they all kind of, and then we've talked about
this before. The other houses are maybe you don't have more of the geeky girls. But like physically,
was always a big difference? Pretty much, which was sad. I mean, I felt like when I was
rushing. It was very obvious what sororities were on top and what sororities were lower in
tier. And it was, you know, it's crazy because you don't realize it, but like how split it is
is so obvious. Yeah. But it's not, it's not really talked about. But like, you know where the
pretty girls are. You know where the smart girls are. You maybe know where, you know, I don't even
know. Like, it's just, it's very divided, I feel. Yeah. No, I agree with that. Not necessarily a bad way.
I think some of the division comes from interest, shared interests. Like, no, I agree. Yeah.
I totally agree with that. Like what, Emma? You know, like, if some people are more into working out or
sports or some people are more into, you know, like we had some religious sororities on my
campus and people that were really smart and just really focused on studying. So I think it can
be looked at in like multiple ways. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think it's unnecessarily fully a negative,
but it is obvious like the difference between each sorority. And I think just based on your
personality when you do walk into a sorority during recruitment, you kind of know where you want to be.
And I just find it sad where sometimes like when girls want to be in the top tier sorority,
and obviously that doesn't work out for them.
So I think it also, you know, it does have to do with like looks and physical attributes.
But then I also think a big part of it is obviously what your interests are.
And I remember, you know, walking into some of the sororities during recruitment.
And it was like, we have study groups every day from three to five.
And I'm like, oh, I don't know if I could study that much.
like in your sorority did you have to have a certain GPA to like stay in it okay yeah mine did too and they they gave us like once a week like a quiet hour it was only our freshman year though yeah our freshman year we had to like go into like an auditorium like the sorority would rent out an auditorium and we would go there for an hour like if there was a party after we would like bring like our our um what are they called
You're like hydros?
Yes, our hydros, yes.
I'm like, wait, but our tumblers, I'm like, what are those things called?
What are you talking about?
What the hell's a hydro?
I'd go to Starbucks, get a refresher, dumps a vodka in it.
Like our obolas or hydro flasks.
Like what you put your water in, like to drink, you know what I'm talking about, Jen.
I just call that a glass.
No.
Like this.
The water bottle.
Like the water bottle.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
okay, like one of the Stan Lee's or something.
Yes, yes.
So if we had our study hours, like we would go, and it was mandatory freshman year,
because they wanted you to maintain your certain GPA.
And, but if there was a party year, because it was always on Thursday,
we would always, like, fill up our things with vodka and mixers.
And we would pregame during our study hour.
Oh, my God.
I remember studying, there's this one girl, Mandy, who we took a,
class together. I'll never forget. And it was, we just, we couldn't stop laughing the entire
night. We were going to stay up the entire night. And we slept through the exam, like both of us.
Like that was sometimes the problem with studying with sorority sisters. Like even in the library
is we just couldn't connect to whatever we were studying. And we made up some messed up
excuse the next day. The professor was very sweet and bought it. Like we got, like we're in a car
accident the night before. Like something really just horrific, I remember.
But, like, studying with my sorority.
And I just, I can never concentrate.
I was always barely just scraping by.
But, and some of my sisters were really smart.
And then you tried to get them to, like, coo to you a little bit.
It just never went well for me.
Like, I was not the type that could go to an auditorium with a bunch of other girls and study.
I had to be completely alone or all I want to do is gossip.
No, yeah, I agree.
And I would love when my sorority sisters would revise my essays for.
me because I was a horrible writer.
That's sisterhood.
Oh, my God, you guys.
I feel like we could just go on forever.
So let's just take a pause and we will be back for more.
A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers.

So why did it take so long to catch him?
