[15] Goodbye.
[16] Ready?
[17] Go.
[18] Begin and go.
[19] Now you go, welcome to my favorite murder.
[20] This is my favorite murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstock.
[21] Hi.
[22] That's the opposite.
[23] That's the one where we say each other's names.
[24] Right.
[25] That's not.
[26] We got that from TV.
[27] Like we're introducing each other.
[28] So this is your minisodes.
[29] This is your hometown murders that you email us a lot of and they're the best.
[30] I got to say I like the minisodes better than our regulars.
[31] Because they're quick and easy and not like.
[32] It's more fun.
[33] There's a lightness to it.
[34] Sniffy, snappy.
[35] not our problem it's somebody else's problem it's the feeling I have it ain't our fucking problem we're just reading I mean we're not right in the news we're just reading it it's that kind of I like it and then we have a double indemnity clause that it's now Stephen's fault because Stephen shows them we get handed this like we are high level superstars where it's like someone just goes here you go it's like newscaster when they like hold their ear piece and like this just in yeah and like they don't even know what they're reading do you know sometimes they do that Like, I, on the show I'm working on right now, I have an IFB.
[36] That's what that thing is called, the thing that goes in your ear.
[37] And it's really exciting because our EP, who's in the control room, which is where the director and all the monitors are, where they watch the show on every single camera, is she's sitting in there and talking to me and then what she says to me comes out of my mouth.
[38] How do you, I would be so confused.
[39] I love it so much.
[40] It's like reading something and talking at the same time, something else at the same time.
[41] but you know what it is you're first of all I'm not reading I'm just riffing by the way this is guy Brannum's new show that will be out in March called talk show the game show where guy brandom is the host I am one of the judges and we judge people uh being on the talk show that guy brandom is hosting I love it it's pretty hilarious and very fun it's perfect for you like judging people hell yeah that's perfect and also people do my hair and makeup so I don't my normal lazy like very low -key behavior is erased and all of a sudden I kind of look like, I'm going to be honest, I look a lot like Lys Monelli.
[42] That's who I get more than anyone is a guy Lise Monelli.
[43] You do.
[44] So you and I both should just have the same look at all times.
[45] Yeah.
[46] That's a good idea.
[47] We should get some sparkly pants.
[48] Let's kick our legs up in the air.
[49] Hello.
[50] And just be the best fucking person in the world.
[51] Just constantly.
[52] Just jazz hands it up all over.
[53] I'm half of a good person.
[54] and you're half of a good person and then together we're the best person in the world.
[55] Oh, my God, we can leave our bad people behind and only be good people.
[56] Anyhow.
[57] How's picking of bad people?
[58] Well, yeah, so.
[59] So this is your hometown murders.
[60] You guys email.
[61] I said, my favorite murder at Gmail.
[62] Then Stephen picks them and then we read them.
[63] And so don't blame us for anything.
[64] You want to go first?
[65] No, you go first.
[66] Oh, okay.
[67] This is called an Irish countryside and murder.
[68] Yes.
[69] Ready to put down your...
[70] I'm going to stare right into your eyes.
[71] Do you mind?
[72] Okay.
[73] Hello.
[74] I mean, it might suck and it might not be.
[75] Do you mind staring at me the whole time?
[76] Do you mind listening to...
[77] After listening to your guest appearance on the crack podcast, yay, I have been steadily binging on your very, on your own very entertaining podcasts, listening to you regale one another of grisly stories.
[78] Often at the time, misremembering or misquoting.
[79] this chick's not fucking starting out on a good foot.
[80] I mean, it's the truth, though.
[81] And subsequently correcting.
[82] And then she says, Reddit is a blessing and curse, is it not?
[83] And something of which we are all guilty of.
[84] I got to thinking about my own hometown murder.
[85] I suspected that the details of this murder were conflated and misremembered by yours truly, so I took it, I took just some sleuthing onto the meat.
[86] That's basically what our podcast is.
[87] Yes, that's right.
[88] I come from a very small, very small town in the Irish country side called, oh, here we go.
[89] Kileshandra?
[90] Sure.
[91] There's the first thing I got wrong in this.
[92] Kelichandra?
[93] Kileshandra, I bet I'm saying it's so wrong.
[94] Think single street, eight to nine pubs, a football pitch, Irish football, not that Nancy paddle thing you have over there.
[95] Oh, careful.
[96] And they quote, shit poke country nowhere kind of place.
[97] That sounds perfect.
[98] From a young age, I regularly played Irish music in one of the many pubs in town as part of a local tradition.
[99] One elderly man who joined us Who I vividly remember as always being grimy and dirty The kind of grime that repels soap And to be honest, doesn't actually smell Would often play the penny whistle With the group for an hour or two Have a couple pints and then drive his moped home In the small hours That sounds like the perfect fucking life That's a good life But I bet he's a murderer He was simply known as Johnny about town Yet my mother informed me His name was Johnny Golden Quite the name A harmless old man living on his own Not much else to say All villages have one or two of these here he is.
[100] Stephen is showing me a photo of him.
[101] He's like your cute grandpa that I bet you anything is a murderer, except look at his dirty fucking hand.
[102] Oh, well, he was out in the field all day.
[103] Look at his, his hand looks like he's been putting it in a fireplace.
[104] His hand looks like he's been burying the teeth that aren't in his head.
[105] Look that pipe.
[106] That's, this guy's classic.
[107] He's like typecast as the Irish pub whistleblower.
[108] Okay.
[109] Did it do, da, da, da, da, okay, in 2010, after I'd moved away, I heard that Johnny had been murdered in his home.
[110] Oh, we're dicks.
[111] Sorry, Johnny.
[112] And from the stories circulating, he had been stabbed to death.
[113] Oh, I feel bad now.
[114] Can we, can we cut all that?
[115] And his face cut into a Glasgow smile.
[116] Fuck.
[117] Says, think Heath Ledger's Joker injuries.
[118] And worse.
[119] I couldn't believe it.
[120] Who would do such a thing to, who was an apparently a sweet old, lonely man, bet you anything?
[121] He's a fucking pedophile.
[122] I'm going to just go deeper.
[123] I mean, yeah, it's it.
[124] I'm going to keep fucking doubling, doubling down.
[125] You were so sorry one moment ago.
[126] No, I'm doing it double fucking down.
[127] All right, we'll keep power through it.
[128] There's got to be a reason.
[129] Eventually, a young man, 19 -year -old Brendan McGovern, was arrested for the murder.
[130] The details thinking after the trial, it turned out that Mr. McGovern approached Mr. Golden at his home to confront him regarding past sexual abuse that he had perpetrated on him six to seven years previously.
[131] Damn girl.
[132] Fucking knew it.
[133] The tale has now turned into one of revenge and anger.
[134] It turns out that Mr. Golden accused of, but at this stage he has no one to speak to the contrary, sexually abused Mr. McGovern while he was a child, but he eventually moved away.
[135] They had met again after McGovern started working nearby, and Golden started taunting him, leering at him, and telling stories about him.
[136] In an effort to confront Mr. Golden to request him to stop, Mr. McGovern went to Mr. Golden's home to talk.
[137] Golden assumed that McGovern was there for sex and produced a convent.
[138] condom, after which McGovern flew into a rage, and proceeded to beat Golden, the glass -mall -smile embellishment did not occur.
[139] Oh, Elvis is ripping your notes to shreds.
[140] Okay.
[141] Sorry.
[142] Elvis.
[143] Um, da -da -da -da -da -da -da -da, condom, be a rape.
[144] Okay.
[145] Um, he did not die immediately, but was found the following day at a home by a neighbor and succumbed to his wounds a month later.
[146] Uh, what do you guys think?
[147] A deserved death?
[148] A crime of passion?
[149] McGovern served 11 months for the crime Keep up the good work And to repeat other sentiments Humor is a coping mechanism We can mostly all relate to So don't lose it Chow for now Mark That sounds to me like You called it But the story and the way it's explained Of like I just went to his house to talk That sounds like bullshit Like if you saw your old molester in town it would make more sense that he would just be like, I'm going to fucking kill that guy and then go and do what he did.
[150] That whole idea of like that there was any kind of like, I was there to be reasonable.
[151] It's like, no, you got caught.
[152] And so now you're trying to kind of like you're trying to tell a story of like, oh, I was there to talk and then he did a thing.
[153] But even if that wasn't true and he wasn't there to talk, he was there to beat the shit out of him and they just ended up killing him?
[154] It's like, well, is that justified that this guy molested him as a child and is now taunting him about it around town.
[155] Yeah, but we don't know if that's true.
[156] I know.
[157] The one thing I wonder is, like, had he told anyone about this beforehand?
[158] Like, did he just come up with that case?
[159] Or is there a girlfriend who was like, yeah, he told me about the molestation when we were dating or...
[160] It wouldn't make sense if he, if the old guy was the molester, that he would taunt him and tell stories about him.
[161] That doesn't make sense.
[162] Right.
[163] If he's the molester, he wouldn't say a word.
[164] Totally.
[165] So that could be, like, a paranoid or just being in that victim place of, like, you can't stand seeing or being around that person.
[166] Yeah.
[167] Well, I only got 11 months, so I guess it worked.
[168] All right.
[169] My first one says, Austrian vintage murder hotel.
[170] Hey.
[171] Hey, Karen, and Georgia.
[172] I'm from a small touristy village in Austria called St. Gilgin.
[173] It's Mozart's mother's hometown and where they shot the sound of music.
[174] Rad.
[175] Basically, it's as quiet and unassuming as it gets.
[176] There used to be in the Excelsior Hotel, and in the late 60s, the hotel owner's wife died.
[177] Her husband, her mummified body in a room in the hotel.
[178] Turns out that he wasn't that good at mummification since the corpse was eventually discovered because of the smell.
[179] No one could prove that the husband had murdered her and apparently there were rumors that he got away with the mummifying thing because he claimed it was part of his religion or something.
[180] According to my grandparents the whole thing was very mysterious and strange stuff like the hotel's secretary committing suicide by jumping off a cliff happened around the time of the wife's death.
[181] since the husband was never convicted this hotel stayed open until he decided to move slash travel to Australia or New Zealand the hotel was turned into apartments which are still lived in today a bar and a pizzeria I go to the bar maybe get pizza but I never fucking live in those apartments would you spend the night in those apartments yes after drinking or not drinking after drinking and pizza would you have to have both yes because then I would just be drunk or pizza and you'd kind of be out like either one it's just not good alone what if i told you that while you passed out drunk say you blacked out which i don't do you're partying no in no way i'm accusing of that but you're partying in austria those people drink a fucking lot sure um you pass out and i tell you you can pass out but there will be a ghost there that does stuff to you like what the ghost can't do stuff to you um this one can that's what i'm saying why would i say Yes.
[182] Wait, I don't get it.
[183] I'm not sure.
[184] I just thought I'd make up a fun quiz.
[185] We're only halfway through.
[186] Oh, shit.
[187] At some point, the old owner returns to - That should be in Cosmo immediately.
[188] The bedside astrologer, ghost sex quiz.
[189] How to have a more fun blackout.
[190] Do you want to attract a hot ghost?
[191] Not sure what that accent was.
[192] Do stuff to you.
[193] It'll do stuff at you.
[194] At some point, the old hotel, owner returned to the village and he currently lives a couple hundred meters away from me away from me i got all this information from my grandparents so i can't guarantee that it's a hundred percent correct it's a hundred percent we relate to that yeah i tried to research it but all i found were some vintage luggage labels from the hotel and postcards which i attached along with a picture of the hotel i took today stephen's hand to us the hand ooh this is gorgeous we'll post these on our Instagram, except I'm saying we'll post them on an Instagram, and I always say that, and I never do it.
[195] Stephen, post his on our Instagram.
[196] Stephen, do it.
[197] Why won't you do anything?
[198] Damn it.
[199] Look it.
[200] That's very cool.
[201] Look at her right by that lake.
[202] I want that framed.
[203] Or we should have a shirt of that.
[204] You can see the cliffs where the secretary killed herself in the background of most of the pictures.
[205] I also found an old movie that they shot at the hotel a few years ago, a few years before the death.
[206] It's called The Shining.
[207] it's called zero zero sex a m wolfgang genzi and then important my nickname in in parentheses it's not it says it's not porn i checked the title translate to zero zero sex by wolf gang z oh oh yeah yeah i get i know that phrase that's the lake next to the hotel still the wolf gang z the wolf gang z is the name of the lake I mean, zero, zero sex by Wolfgang Z. Not porn, though, assured.
[208] All those words make it into zero sex sense to me. Oh, it says, it's a James Bond reference since six and sex is the same word in German.
[209] Aha.
[210] So it's double, it's like 007, but it's double six by Wolfgang C. No. Oh, C as an S -EA?
[211] No, S -E.
[212] I don't get it.
[213] I don't either.
[214] All right.
[215] I'm not sure what the most disturbing fact about this whole thing is anymore.
[216] He said that or she said?
[217] Or she said.
[218] I love your podcast and I'm sorry for making you read a bunch of weird Austrian names, Eva.
[219] Thanks, Eva.
[220] That's cute.
[221] That's crazy.
[222] Like, I love that because several horrifying things happened, but then it was like, and we continue on with our day.
[223] And people are like, yeah, I'll live there.
[224] I bet it's beautiful.
[225] I mean, that one picture.
[226] Live show at the pub there?
[227] Yes or no. Yes, yes, yes.
[228] Yes.
[229] Now, the live show at the pub, at the pub, they offer you several glasses filled with delicious liqueur.
[230] Pizza, oh.
[231] Pizza liqueur.
[232] Yeah.
[233] It's kind of tomato -y, but it's got basil floating on the top.
[234] Yeah.
[235] But you know that if you drink it, even though it's the most delicious thing you've ever had, you're going to pass out and get touched by a ghost.
[236] Do you still do it?
[237] No. Goats, I said.
[238] No. Goats or goats?
[239] Goats, yes.
[240] Ghosts, no. I don't want to get, well, I know I got molested by ghosts in the morning.
[241] Yes?
[242] Will I have like, look at room?
[243] Oh, you're asking me. No. Oh, I don't give a shit.
[244] I also don't want to pass out because I don't have a hang.
[245] I don't know what's worth getting molested by a goats, ghosts or having a hangover.
[246] I never intended to have the word molested be folded into this quiz.
[247] It just happened.
[248] I know it's what I'm saying.
[249] But I don't mean molested as in like child molestation.
[250] I mean molested as in the old fashioned getting touched wrong.
[251] You know what I mean?
[252] We're, we're.
[253] But fucked with in the same way.
[254] Wait, hold on.
[255] We are talking about a light grazing of the breasts out of our nightgown with women who are fully self -possessed.
[256] Fine, there.
[257] Get at him, man. Someone's got it.
[258] Why did I introduce this at all?
[259] I don't know, but you just kept going with it because you really wanted to.
[260] I like the idea of it.
[261] Well, it's going to happen now.
[262] Okay, let's do one more.

[308] Only Martyrs in the Building, premieres August 27th, streaming only on Hulu.
[309] Goodbye.
[310] Here's hometownish murder by Alex.
[311] By Alex.
[312] Right.
[313] He just starts.
[314] He gets right in.
[315] Okay, so I live in Lawrence, Kansas, but I recently started working in Topeka.
[316] I don't know how much.
[317] you know about Topeka's reputation, uh, zero.
[318] Oh my God, I've heard so much about what a slut Topeka is.
[319] I don't know anything about Topeka, period.
[320] Sorry, Topeka, but as far, I'm sure you're beautiful.
[321] As far as state capital goes, its reputation is, I hate using the term, but sketchy to say the least.
[322] Oh.
[323] I work from rental car company next to our branch is an abandoned building, which is not uncommon for Topeka.
[324] When I first started working in Topeka, customers would occasionally call them to confirm which of the two rental car branches in Topeka their reservation was for.
[325] I would go over the address and the general location of the branch and inevitably the customer would confirm by saying oh, you're the branch by the Sisi's a common pizza chain.
[326] I see commercial, bless you.
[327] Bless you.
[328] Bless you.
[329] Are you a three or a two?
[330] I'm a two.
[331] Are you three?
[332] I'm a three.
[333] It's three sneezer.
[334] The angels bless you on three.
[335] That's what my family was saying.
[336] Oh, you just don't say anything and then tell the third.
[337] Do you say something?
[338] thing?
[339] No, no, it's, it's, um, I can't remember the saying, but it's the third time the angels bless you.
[340] It rhymes.
[341] Oh, sorry, go ahead.
[342] You don't want to know that you had a shards for those things.
[343] Uh, da -da -da -da -da -sisi's a common pizza chain.
[344] This would confuse me because there was no ceases next to our branch, but it kept happening again and again.
[345] It happened so much that I just started saying yes, because people seemed to know something I didn't.
[346] I like that.
[347] One day, I went across the street to Pizza Hut for lunch, and this is not an ad for pizza places.
[348] I was talking to this girl behind the counter and told her I worked for the rental branch across the street.
[349] And she said she knew the branch because she was to work at the CCs next door.
[350] It was sad how excited I was to get to the bottom of the missing CCs.
[351] The girl behind the counter said that both she and the manager used to work for the CCs.
[352] That used to be next door to the rental branch.
[353] I inquired if it was a pizza hut that shut down the CCs.
[354] And she looked at me stunned and puzzled and said, no, the owner was murdered.
[355] I was caught off guard by such a fate for a pizza shop by such a fate for a pizza shop owner.
[356] so I asked her to fill me in.
[357] Apparently, the C .C .'s owner was a 50 -year -old man named Harold Sasco, who was living with a 19 -year -old girl, and then they wrote in quotes Topeka, named Sarah Gonzalez -McEllen.
[358] McEllan?
[359] McEan?
[360] I don't know.
[361] McGuin.
[362] McClint.
[363] One night Sarah put sleeping medication to Harold's beer he drank, and after he fell asleep, she attempted to chop his head off with a hunting knife.
[364] Man, just go with the pills.
[365] What was happening in that household?
[366] A couple more pills.
[367] Like, someone's not going to wake up from their fucking head being chopped off.
[368] Yeah, just, yeah, make him OD.
[369] Put a bag over his, I'm sorry, put a bag over his head.
[370] Well, I mean, I hope he's a piece of shit, otherwise I feel bad saying that.
[371] Then she mansions.
[372] We're making a lot of mid -email mistakes, I would say on this one.
[373] We are or they are?
[374] They're leaving us room to fucking say shit.
[375] That's their problem.
[376] Blame, blame, blame.
[377] Blaming.
[378] Da -da -da -da -da.
[379] He drank it.
[380] She cut his head with a hundred.
[381] knife.
[382] Then she, Manson -style, wrote all over the walls, stole his dog, gun, and Nissan Altima, and fled.
[383] She was caught illegally camping in the Florida Everglades.
[384] That's how she got cut.
[385] Oh, ma 'am, you can't be here with that tent and you pump your pump tent.
[386] Ma 'am.
[387] She was caught illegally camping.
[388] They brought her back to Kansas, tried, convicted, and sentenced her to 50 years.
[389] I feel like you guys do a lot of adults murdering kids stories, so I felt like a reverse situation was needed.
[390] Sorry, the story was so long.
[391] I love the podcast.
[392] Listen to it when things are slow at the branch.
[393] If you like that Topeka murder story, I have a bunch more.
[394] I heard you guys on the crack podcast and thought you guys were awesome.
[395] Keep up the good work.
[396] Keep up the awesome podcast, Alex.
[397] Thanks, Alex.
[398] Thank you.
[399] 19.
[400] Oh, man, what was going on in that house that she was like?
[401] What was going on?
[402] Fucking lots.
[403] Also, if you, she clearly didn't steal that much money if she just went to the Everglades and illegally count.
[404] She was pissed about something.
[405] I I mean, God, how much is, I don't want to talk shit about managers of Cece's, but he can't be fucking rolling in it, in the dough, rolling in a dough, because there's, you're right, thank you.
[406] Yes.
[407] Also, how many, I've never heard the name Cece's that many times in a row.
[408] No. I mean, it was just like over and over again the whole time.
[409] It really was.
[410] Yeah, a lot of questions.
[411] But also then, yeah, I actually do want to hear more Topeka stories because it's like that, it's Kansas.
[412] It's the center.
[413] Did I ever tell you about my pen pal?
[414] No. When I was like, it's like 11 years old, all of a sudden, I had a pen pal.
[415] I used to do that too.
[416] But I just started getting letters from a girl named Donna.
[417] Who lived, I'm pretty sure, in Kansas.
[418] Catfishing.
[419] And I kept, right?
[420] I kept, it was like letters of like, hi, how are you?
[421] I'm your pen pal, whatever.
[422] And then I wrote back and I'm like, hi, good, how are you?
[423] But I was like, how did you get my?
[424] name like how does this happening and then she wrote back of like I had signed up for the pen pal thing and I was like I just never signed up for a pen pal thing and we must have she we gave each other our school pictures she told me about her class right we told each other about our schools and like who's popular and who's cool exactly and like how we felt and stuff but every time I'd be like yeah but again and just real quick like how did you get my name and we never every time I asked her, she assumed that I knew, like, I think she thought I was asking how it worked instead of, like, it was an agreement that like, oh, I got your name.
[425] I picked, I picked your name.
[426] Yeah, or like, I guess they have a system where, and then I'm like, no, I didn't, but I didn't, I liked her.
[427] And, like, I thought it was really interesting that I was getting this little girl's picture and, like, she was telling me about her life.
[428] And of course, I was immediately, like, listen to my life.
[429] Yeah, it's like six pages in.
[430] Yes, of course.
[431] what's so great when like you could just talk in any like writing a thing and they couldn't respond that's right and you're just like let me go you had the floor yeah that's like these hometown murders that's why people love them that's right because they're just like let me you guys shut the fuck up for a minute but we don't we fucking comment in between but that's what you get that's right we get our say you know I was just thinking if Donna if you're out there in Kansas somewhere and you used to write me letters yeah hi hi I don't know she was a grown man you were so honest.
[432] Don is like, you're welcome, sweetie.
[433] This is some fucking weirdo in jail.
[434] He still has your picture on the wall.
[435] I just kept telling her that it was one of them Pem -Pel registries.
[436] It's the most like passive pervert of all time that's just like, he's super into writing letters.
[437] Michelle's the most popular girl in school and I hate her.
[438] I just hate her.
[439] And then to me 11 year old me, me too.
[440] I also like Garfield.
[441] Do you like Garfield?
[442] It's a lot of that, like, statement question.
[443] However, I prefer Heathcliff.
[444] Like this guy's voice that I'm doing.
[445] I kind of, you know what?
[446] Maybe he just wanted a young friend.
[447] Maybe he wasn't a creep.
[448] It was just innocent.
[449] Maybe he just, like, shot a guy during a robbery.
[450] Like, wasn't even like a, he wasn't even like a pervert or anything.
[451] He was just like, hey, does anybody want to do letters?
[452] And he's like, well, little girls, of course, will write me a letter.
[453] That's nice.
[454] And, like, I had a bad childhood and it would be so fun to, like, go back to the That's definitely what happened.
[455] This is total insanity.
[456] All right.
[457] Hey, I love it.
[458] You go ahead and rewant hair.
[459] You go ahead, Karen, go ahead, Karen, go ahead, Karen, go ahead, care.
[460] Love Donna.
[461] Hey, let's go down to Texas.
[462] Can we please?
[463] Sure.
[464] My favorite El Paso, Texas murder.
[465] Yay.
[466] Hi, gals.
[467] I just started listening, so I apologize if you've already covered this murder.
[468] But nobody outside of El Paso pays much attention to anything that happens there besides the Juarez murderers.
[469] Have you heard of this?
[470] This is...
[471] Yeah, all the women?
[472] Yes.
[473] I'm so excited that someone is giving us this information.
[474] That one is like, we need two episodes to cover that.
[475] I mean, I wonder if this is the same thing.
[476] Okay, let's find out.
[477] Just read the letter, Karen.
[478] So in late 1994, 9095, when I was about 20 years old, they started finding disempered female body parts, painted different colors, and scattered throughout the desert outside of town.
[479] And serial killer panic ensued, particularly among young women with overactive imaginations like me. Not overactive, my friend.
[480] You've got a very large seed to start that.
[481] It's just actually reality.
[482] Painted body parts.
[483] Are you fucking kidding me?
[484] Just leave the body parts.
[485] I don't have to fucking paint them.
[486] I mean, don't leave body.
[487] Go ahead.
[488] They finally found a head.
[489] And in a desperate bid to identify the victims, they wrapped the neck.
[490] in a towel and showed the head on the news.
[491] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[492] You remember that.
[493] You'll never forget that in your whole fucking life.
[494] This is the first time I've ever needed to take a break.
[495] Oh, God, are you okay?
[496] Am I, Matt?
[497] No. Hi.
[498] I bet what year was it?
[499] I bet they weren't like, this next thing is disturbing.
[500] They were just like, here's the head.
[501] Does anyone know this?
[502] Not a photo of the head, but live video of the head.
[503] I was lucky enough to be tuned in.
[504] They warned us what they're, going to do okay good but they didn't even finish the sentence this is going to be disturbing so get your kids out of the room before they cut to the waxy looking head it was so gross y 'all i feel like they would have put like sparklers on they're like just like not even trying to fucking not scare people yeah well yeah because 94 95 they're getting into that like yeah uh you know they they know what people tune in for but that's fucked yeah that's legit fuck it was horrifying but it worked the woman had identified within an hour.
[505] Her name was Susie Han Bradley.
[506] Can you imagine knowing that person?
[507] And her neighbor happened to be watching and recognized her.
[508] That's horrible.
[509] Turns out Susie's husband, James Patrick Bradley, had really limited mobility and had to rely on a cane and a wheelchair.
[510] The marriage had been abusive, possibly mutually, so depending on who you believe, and one night things went too far and he shodder.
[511] Given his mobility issues, he had to dismember his wife to dispose of the body he was an artist by hobby so it's unclear as to whether he decided to paint the body parts to suggest a serial killer or if he was just you know inspired to paint the parts because artists are weird and not to be trusted as an avid reader of the weekly world news me too rest in peace um he's saying that about the weekly world news you can imagine my delight when this local story made the cut, so to speak.
[512] We are, we as a city, we are simultaneously relieved and deeply disappointed to learn that there was, in fact, no serial killer on the loose.
[513] A couple of years later, of course, they would arrest the railroad killer on the El Paso Juarez border, but that was cold comfort.
[514] Best Kate.
[515] Wow.
[516] I thought it was going to be about those tons and tons of women that are found in that killing field, but it's on the Mexico side of the border.
[517] right?
[518] No. I don't know.
[519] Yeah.
[520] That's the one I'm talking about.
[521] Oh, yeah, you're right.
[522] You're right.
[523] I was thinking in the one where they're all buried in the, um, that they did on, um, yeah, here we have, killing fields.
[524] No. Fuck, man. Okay.
[525] Um, that's fucked up.
[526] That's super fucked up.
[527] Painted body parts is, yeah, that's, that's pretty intense.
[528] I wonder why he did that part of it.
[529] drugs oh sure sure sure sure I think that might be my first guess that seems crazy yeah and weird it's like it's also like it's also pointing back to you if they find you and realize you're an artist and have paint and stuff then you're even making it worse so he must have been a little crazy and you wanted to get caught like this is this horrible thing and he had snapped yes well thanks for sending in your hometown murder as you guys keep doing it my favorite murder at gmail .com and we'll keep reading two of them for them once a week.
