[15] Goodbye.

[16] Welcome.

[17] Hello and welcome.

[18] It's the minisode.

[19] The minisode of the My Favorite Murder Podcast.

[20] That's that podcast you listen to.

[21] You're listening to right now.

[22] It's a short version where we read your stories of your hometown murders and also a bevy of any other things we find interesting.

[23] Madness, mayhem.

[24] Grandparents.

[25] Grandparents.

[26] We love a grandparent story.

[27] That's it.

[28] You want to go first?

[29] You want me to go first.

[30] I love to go first.

[31] You do.

[32] Let's do it.

[33] It's a control issue.

[34] The subject line of this is my roomie, the Mooney.

[35] Okay.

[36] Fun.

[37] Hello, Stephen, Karen, Georgia, and assorted pets.

[38] Great.

[39] I was listening to one of the old minisodes, and I heard you guys mention the Mooney's.

[40] My first college roommate and her family were and are Mooney's, or unificationists, as they preferred to be referred to.

[41] It's like a religion, it's like a culty religion thing.

[42] It's a fucking straight up cult.

[43] Okay, great.

[44] But I think that when you're in it, you're like, this is my religion.

[45] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[46] Sure, sure.

[47] I, and if you, look, I actually learned a lot about the church, the first couple years of college, 2013 to 2015.

[48] So this is recent.

[49] Yeah.

[50] Um, because she was and still is one of my closest friends.

[51] Her parents got married because they were personally quote unquote matched together by the revenged sung young moon.

[52] Her dad was Jewish, but ended up converting to unificationism.

[53] Must have been one of those spaghetti dinners, L .O .L. And his parents regularly sent people to try to unbrainwash him for the first couple of years, but to no avail.

[54] I'm pretty sure they ended up disowning him one of the big things in the church is that unmarried people were not allowed to date but instead had to occasion a quote matching process this meant you had to decide you wanted to get married and your parents the church would work together to find someone who also wanted to get married and they would quote unquote match you and the two of you would quote unquote date i know it really does the two of you would date and with the expectation that you would get married within a year or so I mean, shit, dude.

[55] Like, half the fucking ladies I know are like, sign me the fuck.

[56] And I'll eat spaghetti and get matched with someone.

[57] That's all I have to do.

[58] That's all I have to do.

[59] But here's the thing.

[60] That's all you want is your friends to, like.

[61] The best dating option is someone saying, I have a friend you're really going to like.

[62] Yes.

[63] And not enough people fucking do that.

[64] Everyone get on that.

[65] It's all I do.

[66] I'm always wrong.

[67] That's true.

[68] But you try a lot.

[69] I try hard.

[70] You try with old Miss Havisham over here where George is always like, now, have you ever thought about this?

[71] where I'm like, I don't think of anything anymore.

[72] Or I'll be like, tell me your perfect person.

[73] And they'll be like, who do I know that's like that?

[74] Yeah, no, I'm there.

[75] She also likes to run scenarios.

[76] If I do have a crush on somebody and I'll just say a dumb thing.

[77] Then she'll be like, what we're going to do if he walked in.

[78] Okay, here's what we're going to do.

[79] We're going to have a party.

[80] And then when he walks by, I'm going to shove you really hard.

[81] You're going to clonk heads with him.

[82] Which at first, here's my problem.

[83] When we start to do that, I laugh and think it's funny.

[84] And then when the party starts, I begin a slow, terrible panic and end up in the furthest back corner and I won't move.

[85] And you can feel the heat coming off of Karen because of her embarrassment.

[86] When you mention it, oh my God, it's the best.

[87] I can't.

[88] I don't understand how people flirt genuinely and earnestly with other people.

[89] I've never dated someone that I haven't like hit on when I met them cold turkey.

[90] I'm going to have to take your class.

[91] You just got to be you got to act like pretend you have to like conjure someone.

[92] I conjured my mom because she's a fucking slutty flirt.

[93] I love Janet.

[94] And I'm just like, what's up?

[95] I'm hot.

[96] And you know.

[97] know it like let's talk you have to do you have to conjure someone you know I just the idea of it I get because as we said a million times my flirting technique is furrow my brows and act like either I didn't hear what they said to me or I didn't like what they said to me and turn around yeah let's walk away I'm from the 90s it's very unfair I bet so many guys have crushes on you because of that the problem is whether it works or not I'll never know I'll never fucking Benz and I, when I've been, I fucking walked into our friend Megan Gans's birthday party across the room.

[98] Shout out Megan Gans.

[99] She also loves Endeavor.

[100] She's the best.

[101] Walked across the room.

[102] Saw a fucking Tog dude and a fucking Ben Sherman shirt and was like, I'm going to talk to that motherfucker tonight.

[103] He and I made eye contact.

[104] He doesn't remember.

[105] But he came over later and was like, hi, I'm Vince.

[106] And we just fucking hit it off immediately.

[107] So you were given the old Janet I across the room.

[108] So then he knew to come over.

[109] Yes.

[110] Yes.

[111] And they saw me talking to our friends and was like, came over.

[112] Yeah.

[113] You got to.

[114] And then when you shake hands, you just like give it this little little, this like baddy eyelash.

[115] You're fucking Jessica Rabbit.

[116] You're Jessica Rabbit.

[117] No, I am not.

[118] That's who you're conjuring.

[119] Oh, God.

[120] Cut all of this out.

[121] I love it.

[122] No, no, no. I love it, but I'm also, now I'm sweating.

[123] I can feel your heat.

[124] I'm so.

[125] You know what it is?

[126] Just pretend you're someone else for a minute.

[127] It's true.

[128] You know what?

[129] If I could wear sunglasses at night, I would do it.

[130] Girl, they're called bangs, and they work just as well.

[131] Here's the thing.

[132] You know what worked great for me for so long?

[133] Your giant tits.

[134] No. What?

[135] When Georgia just said your giant tits to me, she also looked at me the way she was talking about looking at someone.

[136] You gave me a little downward eye.

[137] I looked at your tits.

[138] I'm sorry.

[139] I've had three wines.

[140] Listen.

[141] What can listen?

[142] I'll do both.

[143] Okay.

[144] This is turning.

[145] into it.

[146] That makes me laugh so hard because being a blackout drunk for all the time where I should have been practicing all stuff like this, I think I was doing stuff like that.

[147] I just don't remember.

[148] Yeah, great.

[149] That's like better because remembering it the next day is a horror show.

[150] Right.

[151] So you already did it.

[152] You're already there.

[153] You're practiced.

[154] Yeah.

[155] Listen, you're Zaja Gabor.

[156] Darling.

[157] And then I slap them across the face.

[158] Slap him across the face.

[159] I'm going to start slapping cops and see if that works for it.

[160] Okay.

[161] Sorry.

[162] Go on.

[163] We're in the.

[164] middle of an email right now.

[165] I mean, okay.

[166] This is being recorded.

[167] I love that this is being recorded and distributed.

[168] Steven, you do send these out, right?

[169] Okay, thank you.

[170] So what I'm okay.

[171] Stephen's our caretaker.

[172] Go on.

[173] We ended with the idea that basically you tell the head of your cult that you would also like to be married like your 1 ,000 friends.

[174] So basically, so this other person would like to be married, you meet.

[175] And my point was imagine the moment of like having to walk through that door where you're looking at this person and any impression you have, you're also like, and I have to marry this person.

[176] Yeah.

[177] It's not even like, just go and have coffee.

[178] It's no big deal.

[179] You have to marry them.

[180] Yeah.

[181] It's very high stakes.

[182] Very exciting.

[183] Pass.

[184] So next time you are in a bar, be like, well, at least I don't have to marry this person.

[185] I can go talk to whoever I want and I never have to speak to them again.

[186] It's not like it's the moonies.

[187] That's what, that's what it is.

[188] There's not like it's the moon.

[189] There's no fucking stakes.

[190] There's no stakes.

[191] thank you Georgia you're welcome I'm good at this then you okay so then you had to go to a special mass ceremony I've seen these on TV in the 80s they used to show it on the news like every six months I'd be like the Reverend Moon had a ceremony for this unification church and it was a huge room with literally a thousand or 2 ,000 people all wearing the same shit all getting married at the same time so insane so romantic I mean romantic so then you'd at the mass ceremony to get married within the church but afterward you'd have to get a marriage license and get married in a courthouse to get those sweet sweet tax breaks oh because it wasn't legal okay well wasn't necessarily real until they got it got their certificate sure sure they still had to do the the government work is what this person was saying both my roommate and another one of her siblings were involved of something called generation peace academy after high school good band name oh my god right yes they Basically, they spent a year traveling around the country and raising money for the church, which means they were raising money so that Reverend Moon could buy guns and ammo.

[192] The magazine?

[193] And lived out of cars and had to learn to survive camping out in the wilderness.

[194] Pass, hard pass.

[195] You lost me. Mary a stranger.

[196] I never knew all the fucked up shit that happened with the Moonies.

[197] I experienced them as regular people whose Christianity was just a little weirder than what I grew up.

[198] up with.

[199] That's really open.

[200] Yeah, it's true.

[201] My former roommate, well, because I bet her her roommate was cool and she liked her.

[202] Totally.

[203] My former roommate and her siblings no longer believe in the teachings of Reverend Moon, but like her good sons and daughters, pretend to for their parents.

[204] Aw, you don't have, don't do that.

[205] Though none of them are planning on getting matched.

[206] L .O .L. Stay sexy and sometimes you can't call your dad because he's in the cult too.

[207] Hey.

[208] Amazing ending.

[209] Like, that was a great bring back around.

[210] That was a profess letter.

[211] Thank you so much, letter K. Okay, I want to read this one because it's a corrections corner from a hometown.

[212] Oh, great.

[213] And I really appreciate, this is from Beck, and I really appreciate Beck putting herself out here, out there and here and everywhere for us.

[214] And, like, it's a safe fucking space.

[215] You can be wrong where we always are.

[216] Please.

[217] This is called, oh, shit, Detective Dad was wrong about the dingo.

[218] Oh, okay.

[219] Karen and Georgia, all caps, exclamation mark.

[220] It's me, the daughter of the dingo ate my baby detective.

[221] So remember two episodes ago, I did the dingo of my baby, and I was like, there was even like how it was so divided in Australia, whether the dingo did it or the mother did it.

[222] And even the head of the detective's like daughter wrote it and it was like, we all know, wink, wink that she did it.

[223] And I was like, nobody knew.

[224] Well, this is fucking, this is her writing us.

[225] Great.

[226] She says, it's me. I'd like to apologize for.

[227] perpetuating the bullshit quote Lindy did it theory.

[228] I had no idea how wrong it was because I've always been scared to look into it because since I was a kid, the whole family has been banned from talking about the case.

[229] Yeah.

[230] My brothers were sent to their rooms for asking too many questions.

[231] Love you brothers.

[232] And we promptly left a few dinner parties when a drunk aunt finally sipped enough courage to broach the subject.

[233] Auntie Georgia, what's up?

[234] Hey, what's up?

[235] Whenever someone brought it up, my dad would coldly say, I did better work elsewhere and nothing else.

[236] I always assume my dad just thought that Lindy did it and didn't want to be questioned and being the scary, quiet father figure, I sure his shit did not want to question him on it.

[237] Now that you guys open that door to that information and then parentheses and him being mostly deaf and unable to listen to this podcast.

[238] I realized that we were probably not, we were probably not allowed to talk about it because dad knew he really fucked up, but instead of admitting it, he just inflicted a cone of silence on the family for over 30 years.

[239] Go dad.

[240] Yeah.

[241] She wrote that.

[242] I didn't say that.

[243] But I support it.

[244] Yeah.

[245] It's very crazy to think the old man that enthusiastically plays peekaboo with my one -year -old nephew was doing some real shady shit in the 80s.

[246] Everybody was.

[247] I mean, thank you for all that you do.

[248] And also for teaching me that you never stop learning your parents are flawed humans.

[249] SSDGM back and I just want to say how fucking impressed I am that you can like admitting that you fucked up and making light of it and being okay with it and wanting to learn more is the fucking most powerful thing you can do as a human being it's the only thing you're supposed to be doing on the planet and it's the way you make connections with other people that's right and listen it's a hard thing to do when your parental imprinting has been don't look at anything you may have done and never talk about it.

[250] So, like, I get that idea of just going, we know what the real story is.

[251] And hopefully she didn't feel attacked or called out or anything because that wasn't what we were trying to do.

[252] It's just almost like, I didn't know, I didn't know either way.

[253] And so.

[254] And there's no reason she should have been, like, questioning it from the, you know.

[255] No. And it's the thing of, like, you know, it's like one of the hardest things in life and this happens earlier for some of us than others is realizing your parents are human beings.

[256] That have biases.

[257] That have biases.

[258] and flaws.

[259] It's really hard and no one wants to question it or admit it because it kind of shakes your entire foundation.

[260] Yes.

[261] At whatever age you're at.

[262] Also, I think we've talked about this and I think everybody that's in a true crime knows this already, but the police have such a shitty fucking job.

[263] Because basically they have to be hitting three pointers the entire time under incredibly high pressure.

[264] And if like, and if they get into a thing.

[265] where they get led down the primrose path of like, oh, we heard their seventh -day Adventist, and nobody knows about that, and that is associated with the devil.

[266] And everyone wants this, everyone wants this solved immediately, and the quickest it can be done, and we need to prove that we're taking care of our community, like, let's just, you know.

[267] Yeah, every, you're just making the call that at that point you can make.

[268] You're doing the thing you can do.

[269] Yeah, like when police coerce a confession, they're not trying to just solve.

[270] the case and get a confession.

[271] They think that the person who's confessing actually did it and they're getting a confession out of them because they're doing their hardest.

[272] They don't see it the same.

[273] I mean, whatever.

[274] Yeah.

[275] It's just, yeah.

[276] We get it.

[277] And way to go back.

[278] And it also makes me feel good that we've created this community where you're saying something like this is a safe space.

[279] And that's, I think it's supported and celebrated.

[280] Yeah.

[281] And I think it's really, being wrong is okay here.

[282] And so I appreciate her being part of that.

[283] It's, it means a lot to me. I'm so into being.

[284] wrong.

[285] I do it all the time.

[286] I do it just so I can admit it later.

[287] Okay, so the subject line of this one is found in the wall.

[288] These never get old for me. Amazing.

[289] Go.

[290] Hi, Karen, Georgia, Stephen, felines and canines.

[291] Great.

[292] Oh, that's the first one of that.

[293] Never really thought about the fact that it kind of rhymes.

[294] First of all, I love the podcast.

[295] Second of all, I once found some fucked up shit in the wall of an old house.

[296] Here we go.

[297] Here we go.

[298] Several years ago, my dad was buying old Victorian houses and fixing them up and flipping them.

[299] Yes.

[300] Cool, dad.

[301] So cool.

[302] You know, before the whole housing bubble burst.

[303] Oh.

[304] Yes, I do know about that.

[305] Got it.

[306] Oh, I was underwater in my own home.

[307] One house he bought needed a bad gut job.

[308] The dining room was covered in this wonderful 1970s wood paneling, and every bedroom had a different, incredibly ostentatious wallpaper.

[309] Oh, my dream.

[310] Please show me 17 pictures of that.

[311] I love wallpaper.

[312] I love wallpaper.

[313] I love it.

[314] Do you remember the store wallpaper?

[315] to go.

[316] Oh, my God.

[317] In the 80s, 70s, 80s.

[318] And you could go down there and they just had a, it was like a store filled with wallpapers on the wall.

[319] It was to go.

[320] You'd order it to go.

[321] No, but I do.

[322] And wallpaper is making a comeback.

[323] The secret is you get a really tacky, crazy wallpaper, but you only wallpaper one wall with it.

[324] And you paint the rest of the walls like a light, you know, complimentary color.

[325] Yeah.

[326] And it becomes your fascinator wall.

[327] Follow my design blog.

[328] It's called Wallpapers to go.

[329] By Georgia.

[330] By Georgia.

[331] The room I was living in was covered in gigantic blue and lime green flowers.

[332] 100 % on board.

[333] Hard to sleep.

[334] While pulling down the wood panel.

[335] It's aggressive.

[336] Yeah.

[337] It's like when my sister and I got to pick our paint wall color.

[338] When we were in the house where I heard the dog outside my bedroom window.

[339] I wanted it to be kind of a nice moss, a light moss green.

[340] It was fucking neon lime green.

[341] shit to the point where i feel like you know they do those studies where if you paint the walls certain color has psychological effects yeah i am one thousand percent sure that it made my experience as a 12 to 14 year old much more painful than it needed to be zap that brain of yours oh okay back to whatever this show is okay he's pulling down the fucking while pulling down the wood paneling in the dining room, we discovered a hole in the wall.

[342] My dad comments that it was so lazy of the previous owners to just put paneling over a hole in the drywall instead of repairing it, but I looked inside the hole and found a very old Manila envelope.

[343] It wasn't a million dollars inside, but it was two very old eight millimeter film rolls, reels, sorry, unmarked.

[344] Naturally, I assumed it was a snuff film.

[345] Sure.

[346] wouldn't we all so i called a friend that worked at a video production company and asked him what to do with these film reels bring them down immediately i have to know what's on them he tells me love you love you so the next day i drove to his studio and clean and clean the film with cotton and baby oil trying to restore them i think it was supposed to be he cleaned whatever my friend told me we'd only get one viewing out of them because the film was so deteriorated oh my god so I call a few more buddies and we had a screening party what was on the film they're all dead now what you want to do a guess what was on the film it's not film oh you think it was it's not film yeah Stephen what do you think was on this film mustache porn just just childhood memories no it was homemade porn from the 1960s holy shit judging by the woman's plastic and unmovable gigantic hair Oh, that's not what I thought you were in there.

[347] And the man's impressive mustache.

[348] And the room they were in had gigantic, no, floral wallpaper, my bedroom.

[349] Amazing.

[350] So good.

[351] Freaked out, I returned home and talked to the elderly woman who lived across the street.

[352] She'd been in her house for about 40 years at that point, and I asked her if she remembers the people I described from the film.

[353] You know they had a giant bush She's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I know her, yeah Oh, sure, she had a giant bush God, that thing was big She said that in the late 60s There was a pastor from the local church who lived there Oh, really?

[354] But he wasn't married So who was the mystery woman?

[355] I still have the film reels But they're so badly damaged They can't really be viewed anymore Anyway, SSDGM And always watch mystery films found in walls Annie.

[356] Fuck Annie.

[357] Amazing.

[358] That was everything we need it to be.

[359] I think I would prefer, I mean, obviously, finding money's great, bloody blah.

[360] I think finding two film reels would make me go insane.

[361] The thing of will only be able to watch this once, you almost, it's like, it's like from a movie where you're like, come on, it's not a thing.

[362] So everybody get down here, call everybody.

[363] And then it's exactly what you'd want it to be, which is fucking.

[364] homemade vintage porn.

[365] Homemade porn.

[366] And if only that pastor knew that in 40 years, homemade porn would be a celebrated huge piece of the internet that everybody participated on.

[367] Everyone loves it.

[368] It's like not even real porn.

[369] I love it.

[409] Listeners like you, listener.

[410] And so this is from the one that's getting put up this week, that blew our fucking mind.

[411] It's going up.

[412] It's already, it went up Friday.

[413] Okay, so went up Friday.

[414] Today is Monday.

[415] And so this is the letter that accompanied it.

[416] Hello, all.

[417] I am so thrilled to gift you my dad's original dare kit from 1994.

[418] And this harkens back to when I fucking told caring about going to an estate sale and on their website, one of the photos from the estate sale was the dare or like the drug kit that the cops would bring to the elementary school to show you all the dangers and crazy scary drugs you could do in like this briefcase.

[419] This fucking chick sent hers to our us.

[420] We have touched it.

[421] We have looked at it.

[422] He lives in my apartment.

[423] He was a dare officer for 18 years and a cop for 26 years.

[424] Shout out to officer Pete.

[425] It was collecting dust in his garage since he has now retired at the ripe age of 52 goals.

[426] Am I right?

[427] Um, so basically her dad let her send this to us as a gift.

[428] Pete, thank you.

[429] We've been, fucking Stephen walked in and, uh, had like the packages from the PO box and looked at us and like, you just like, hi, how are you hugs?

[430] Whatever.

[431] And he was like, you're Georgia.

[432] You're going to lose your fucking mind.

[433] Like he didn't even say hi.

[434] Stephen said the F word.

[435] Oh, I swirled.

[436] No. Yeah.

[437] I mean, when I came, I was like, I can't, it's like burning a hole in my pocket.

[438] Yeah.

[439] I just wanted to see it too, you know.

[440] And I, and we went all, like, let's record.

[441] Like, that was our first, uh, no makeup recording because I was like, just need to open this.

[442] We got to do this.

[443] Yeah.

[444] So first, I wanted to thank you for creating this murderino community and for saving me from hours of boredom at my desk job.

[445] Secondly, here's a short hometown for you.

[446] My above mentioned dad was the dare officer for a girl named Christina Long in in Danbury, Connecticut.

[447] In 2002, she was in middle school and he said she seemed like a really happy kid.

[448] Unfortunately, she didn't have the greatest home life, and that was around the time MySpace was getting popular.

[449] Oh, no. She used to meet up with a man later identified as Saul Dos Rias.

[450] The police said that they had a few sexual encounters before the night where he killed her.

[451] She had been missing, and they only found the body after he confessed.

[452] But this made national news because it was the first time that the internet had been used to meet someone that resulted in their death.

[453] Wow.

[454] Oh my God.

[455] Lastly, my dad was also the one who started my true crime obsession.

[456] I can clearly remember being in line at the grocery store at about 11 or 12 and seeing a who killed John Biday people magazine cover.

[457] I turned to my dad and said, do you know who killed her?

[458] And he looked at me and said, yeah, everyone knows the brother did it.

[459] Whoa.

[460] It was just like Karen's John Wayne Gacy bodies in the book experience.

[461] I had never even, it had never even occurred to me that people kill within their own families.

[462] I needed to know everything.

[463] Oh, and also he told me that they actually still study the ransom note to show cops what deception looks like.

[464] Wow.

[465] Things like the spacing, the amount of money that was asked for, and the fact that it sounded like it was being dictated, which I've never thought about that, means it was fake as fuck.

[466] my dad said he would be happy to call in to go over the dare kit and talk about police stuff with you guys which I never like I just read this right now I'm kind of scared for you guys to do that because I know he will say something embarrassing about me fucking amen girl p .S due to a bad fall off a horse in December 2017 new year's actually I had to have major spinal fusion surgery and was in the hospital for a week and had to lay flat in bed for another three months after yeah your podcast absolutely was my escape and savior cannot thank you enough the moment i was conscious after surgery i told my mom that i was not missing your live show and i'm happy to say that i made it to your phoenix show whoa that's where i live now with my mom back brace and walker all in tow wow s sdgm phia pronounced pha and then it says stop here don't read my contact info aloud but please feel free to reach out.

[467] And then she put her, Thea.

[468] I mean, this is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

[469] This is a straight, this drug kit is a straight fucking, in a fire grab your shit.

[470] Not just because it's something I've always wanted, but because you asked your dad, who's this fucking probably celebrated cop to give it to a stranger.

[471] And he said yes, and you did it.

[472] And I promise you it's in good hands.

[473] Carrying my and Stephen will fucking take care of it It's never been in better hands.

[474] Pretty sure one of the fucking pills that they show is a Pez and another's a vitamin.

[475] And that just brings me so much joy.

[476] And one of them, for all the oldies out there like me, one of them looks exactly like a contact cold medicine pill where it's, it's like red, it's like a one of those things.

[477] And it has tiny beads inside, multi -colored beads.

[478] And it's just like, the action, you know, it just like explode.

[479] Yeah.

[480] And I was just like, that's a cold pill.

[481] Yeah.
