[16] Hello and welcome to my favorite murder, The Many Sode.
[17] This is where we read you back here, emails that you send us of your whole.
[18] hometown murders we have uh both developed a slight slur um we don't know why it could be brain damage of some kind of shared a folly adieu if you will we're not sure but uh we both begun to pronounce things incorrectly and um just kind of talk we're talking weird these days and that's how you have a podcast yes i think that's really the goal if you've podcasted enough your mouth stops working yeah that's when you know god bless us um okay karen you go i go first like oh so this the subject line is tampa murderinos meet lisa mcvay so i will do i'm not sure how much they go into it but i will just tell everybody else this when we were in tampa florida one of the stories i did was bobby joe long who's a serial killer from down there and his last victim was a at the time a 17 year old girl named Lisa McVeigh who basically outsmarted a serial killer who had already killed, I think, 11 women between nine and 11 women.
[19] And she got away and then basically at the end became a sheriff's officer for Tampa.
[20] Amazing.
[21] Everyone cried.
[22] It was a super cool ending.
[23] It was a fun ending to have.
[24] It's fun to have an ending, as we've both.
[25] learned um but also then that like that the victim then becomes the hero is that obviously everybody loves that okay so this email starts out hi karen georgia stephen and pets today i and several other tampa murderinos had the thrill and honor of meeting badass survivor lisa noland formerly lisa mcvay the badass who survived both childhood abuse and serial killer bobby joe long and then went on to become a police officer the day after the tampa show a murderer got a flat tire and the police officer who stopped to help her was none other than Lisa.
[26] What the fuck?
[27] Yeah.
[28] She got in touch with the Tampa Bay Murderino Facebook group and we all set up a brunch forward slash toy drive for the Mary Lee house.
[29] A local shelter for severely abused children that Lisa regularly does work for.
[30] I am going to cry.
[31] On top of having a great afternoon, we got to bring a little joy, a little bit of joy to abuse children, some of whom have never owned a toy before.
[32] for Lisa is a wonderful person and she says she would have loved to have been at the show had she known about it and now she's a member of our little group.
[33] Oh my God.
[34] On behalf of all Tampa Murderino, stay sexy and keep making a great show, Hallie.
[35] Oh my fucking God.
[36] That's bananas.
[37] So basically a murderer who was at the Tampa show where I told that story gets a flat tire.
[38] The cop that pulls up is the woman that I showed this big picture of and that we all applauded and cried for because it was the greatest ending to a story like that she meets her the next day and now Lisa like I want to say her correct last name Lisa Nolan officer Lisa Nolan is now a Tampa murderino that's so crazy and it's so fucking heartwarming and the toy drive aspect come on please give if Lisa as a police officer is does work for and gives to the Mary Lee house in Tampa Florida yeah if you have five extra dollars yeah please give it to the Mary Lee house in Tampa, Florida.
[39] Let's do it.
[40] That's, I love that.
[41] That's beautiful.
[42] Amazing.
[43] Great work, you guys.
[44] Great work, Tampa Murdering Us.
[45] Thank you.
[46] This podcast.
[47] Bigger than us.
[48] Way bigger.
[49] All right.
[50] This is called, I danced awkwardly in front of the Cheshire murderer.
[51] Ooh.
[52] Hi, Georgia, Stephen, and Associated Creatures.
[53] Nice.
[54] My hometown is in, is the very suburban and rather affluent town of Cheshire, Connecticut, made famous by the home invasion murders of the petite family that occurred there in 2007.
[55] Horrible.
[56] The crime was shocking in its brutality and also because of the one of the murderers came from a prominent local family.
[57] Joshua Kametsajewski insane.
[58] Yes.
[59] Was adopted by a very religious parents who also took in foster children, one of whom allegedly sexually abused him as a boy.
[60] Joshua was Joshua's adopted paternal grandparents were extremely prominent figures.
[61] Theodore Kamisorjevsky was a famous Russian theater director and son of a princess.
[62] Shit.
[63] Three exclamation marks.
[64] We love royalty on this show.
[65] And Ernestine Stodle was a modern dancer who had performed with Martha Graham and became an author and dance teacher later in life.
[66] Wow.
[67] Miss Stodle, as I knew her, lived in a bucolic 65 -acre farm in the rural outskirts of Cheshire with her son and his family, including young Joshua.
[68] Enter me an awkward preaching with little to no dancing ability who took lessons in the gorgeous converted barn studio.
[69] Wow.
[70] I recall a high beam ceiling and a baby grand piano that Miss Staudel herself would play to accompany our efforts and then she would serve as cookies and juice.
[71] She was incredibly graceful and refined and an extremely kind teacher.
[72] Her grandson, Joshua Kamasarjewski was around my age but homeschooled and would have been living on the grounds of the dance studio when I was traipsing around in tights in a leotard.
[73] Innocent and carefree and mostly in it for the snacks.
[74] In addition to the alleged sexual abuse, he had severe mental health issues and apparently suffered from no fewer than five head traumas during childhood.
[75] Ugh, God.
[76] I was no longer living in Cheshire when the Petit family was murdered.
[77] Is it Petit?
[78] Is that right?
[79] I'm not sure.
[80] I was going to say Petit.
[81] Petit.
[82] Is it P -E -T -I -T?
[83] Yeah, I think it's Petit.
[84] But I don't know that for sure.
[85] Sorry, everyone.
[86] When they were murdered, but I was definitely creeped out to learn that one of the perpetrators was related to my former dance instructor and was lurking on the premises when I was studying with her.
[87] It was such a senseless act of cruelty, and I was relieved to learn that Mrs. Soto, although still living, was unaware of her grandson's crimes.
[88] She died a few months after the murders occurred at the age of 95, such a tragic situation all around, and it shattered the locals' false sense of security in our quaint New England town.
[89] Thanks for covering the Cheshire murders in one of your early episodes.
[90] Yeah, I didn't.
[91] Right.
[92] I got so excited when you mentioned your friend, Sean, because of course I know him and do theater with him back in the day.
[93] Oh my God.
[94] That's hilarious.
[95] He and James Vanderbeek are probably the only famous people who are not murderers from our town.
[96] S -S -D -G -M, Meredith.
[97] Meredith yeah that's um my friend sean uh who is the one that recommended that that was right when i was starting at a job that he and i worked out together and he totally did that thing where he was like hey so you ever heard of this one is that the one with the fire yes and the dad runs to the neighbor of like somebody go do something it's so awful and so extremely violent and like when they say senseless and you know when Sean was telling me about it it's It's like, of course, that classic thing where people are like, no one locks their door.
[98] Everyone walks around.
[99] It's a very specific, like, kind of lifestyle.
[100] And then everyone was just horrifying.
[101] So horrible.
[102] Okay, then the subject line of this is my grandma was haunted by a Nazi prince.
[103] Yes, please.
[104] I mean, that's, again, royalty.
[105] All right.
[106] Hi.
[107] First of all, I love your podcast.
[108] You guys are great, et cetera.
[109] I have binged every single episodes for the past two months which has been my greatest accomplishment since grad school graduation since I'm unemployed and no one will hire me anyway my grandmother grew up in Nazi era Germany she and her family moved from Cologne to Weiss Baden as refugees after their home was bombed side note Hitler campaigned at her school slash church in his early years as he rose to power she told me the story so casually one day over lunch that's fucking crazy in weissbaden um hopefully i'm pronouncing that right she moved to by birch palace an old castle like building built for an old prince or something i'm probably getting some of this history wrong that's okay we support you uh the palace was converted into an apartment building during that time to help house those who lost their homes oh my god obviously there were rumors it was haunted everything was fine at first but my grandma and her sister began to notice weird footsteps and noises typical ghost shit one night they heard footsteps coming down the hallway to the door to their room oh and the door to their room began to violently shake like someone was trying to get in it stopped after a minute or so but it um it happened again and again every night for about a week no their parents told them they were dreaming or imagining it they even said it could be the dog or their little brother playing tricks on them how could a dog play a trick like that yeah hey i'm a dog i'm playing tricks what's up the dog with both paws shaking a doorknog giggling into his paw he's really fucking with them one night they decided they were going to put flower down on the floor smart that's paranormal activity style um to see if it was in fact their brother or a dog since it was dark neither of them could see the flower would see the flower and leave footprints.
[110] That night it happened again.
[111] Footsteps down the hallway, door shaking, doornaw rattling.
[112] And that night, the door actually flew open and no one was there.
[113] There were no footprints in the flower.
[114] Both my grandma and her sister flipped out and ran to their parents' room, but it actually never happened again after that night.
[115] They moved out soon after.

[165] This is called my favorite murder in my small town.
[166] Hello, just wanted to tell you about a huge murder that happened in my small town in Ohio.
[167] My uncle was a detective at the time and was assigned to a murder case of a woman whose torso washed up on the banks of the Miami River in Butler County, Ohio.
[168] It was 1998 and I was a sophomore in high school.
[169] Since my uncle was investigating, we paid attention to a lot of what was going on.
[170] The torso washed up in the banks of the river that's right just a torso no arms legs or head creepy right then no wait the investigation was slow going because they had to bring forensic anthropologist and to determine the remains to examine the remains excuse me and then DNA testing to try and identify the body it was later confirmed through the DNA testing that it was a woman named Cheryl Durkin she was what they titled to be a high risk victim because of her lifestyle choices she used drugs and it was said that she was local sex worker.
[171] After further investigation, it led them to the house of James Lawson.
[172] And after inspection of his basement, found that is where he had dismembered her.
[173] If I remember correctly, his mother was the one who assisted the police in the investigation.
[174] Her other body parts were found in a nearby park in Preble County, Ohio.
[175] Lawson was questioned before, before, for suspicion, but was released due to lack of evidence to hold him.
[176] So after the discovery of his, his murder chamber the manhunt began it was all over the news and it was even featured on america's most wanted it was eventually that was eventually how they caught him apparently he had made a new life with a new girlfriend and at one of their family functions he was acting all weird and dodging photos and cameras one of the family or saw him on the show and called it in little fun fact we maybe can't call it fun but quite creepy where he lived in middleton ohio was right down the street from our local middle school where I just attended and walked frequently past.
[177] Thanks for not cutting me at Mr. Lawson.
[178] Not sure if you would be able to find it, but the new detectives television show came to town and shot an episode about the case.
[179] My uncle, Tony Dwyer, is on the show as well as other investigators, family and friends of Mr. Durkin, and even has some pretty awesome reenactments.
[180] Wow.
[181] That's exciting.
[182] Yeah.
[183] New detectives comes to your town.
[184] Dude, for sure.
[185] Your family gets to be on it.
