0:06
Speaker 1: Most of us, when looking at a character like Buffalo
0:09
Speaker 1: Bill from the movie The Silence of the Lambs, probably
0:12
Speaker 1: find him more than a bit creepy. But we also
0:15
Speaker 1: go to sleep at night thinking there's no one in
0:18
Speaker 1: the real world who do the horrible and terrible things
0:21
Speaker 1: that Buffalo Bill did. Unfortunately, that's not the case, and
0:26
Speaker 1: we're about to prove yet again that sometimes life is
0:30
Speaker 1: more brutal and horrible than fiction.
0:34
Speaker 2: I'm Nicole, I'm Ben, and this is Wicked and Grim,
0:39
Speaker 2: a true crime podcast. Good morning. The following podcasts.
0:45
Speaker 1: Semi audience listener, just question, is that much? Are you
1:10
Speaker 1: really just drinking water?
1:11
Speaker 2: I am, But I have a straw, so it's okay.
1:13
Speaker 1: So that makes it better. Hey, it's like the equivalent
1:15
Speaker 1: of beer.
1:16
Speaker 2: Well not quite, but it makes me feel a little
1:18
Speaker 2: bit happier because there's a straw.
1:20
Speaker 1: You love your straws.
1:21
Speaker 2: I do. Straws are dope. Although I broke this one,
1:24
Speaker 2: I think, oh seriously, I was chewing it slightly earlier.
1:29
Speaker 1: Cracked stress chewing.
1:31
Speaker 2: Not really. It was more like there's a straw, I'm
1:33
Speaker 2: gonna bite it, and I heard a crack. Oh it's
1:37
Speaker 2: as simple as that.
1:38
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, welcome. This is literally our last episode before

Speaker 2: A ring two years Wick and and Grim podcasting. That
1:48
Speaker 2: is wild.
1:49
Speaker 1: You would have thought like I honestly don't think I
1:51
Speaker 1: would have thought that. Well, No, I would have. I
1:54
Speaker 1: don't think I would have thought we would be here
1:55
Speaker 1: by now, though.
1:56
Speaker 2: Like you thought, we would have given.
1:57
Speaker 1: Up possibly bucket we're done. Yeah, but no, this has
2:01

2:13
Speaker 2: I'm concerned so and it's been a blast this whole time.
2:16
Speaker 2: And I still feel like we still don't know what
2:19
Speaker 2: the fuck we're doing.
2:20
Speaker 1: No, I feel like, yes, sometimes I'm even like I
2:22
Speaker 1: know less what I'm doing.
2:24
Speaker 2: You know less, just question everything everything.
2:27
Speaker 1: I do, actually question more things.

5:39
Speaker 2: Links right down below for those social media's, by the way,
5:42
Speaker 2: on Instagram, all of it.
5:43
Speaker 1: So are you ready to roll?
5:45
Speaker 2: I am, what do you got for us?
5:46
Speaker 1: Okay? So today we're going across to Poland and back
5:50
Speaker 1: to the year of nineteen nine and nine, I mean
5:53
Speaker 1: ninety eight. I wanted to say ninety nine so bad,
5:55
Speaker 1: but it's actually ninety eight.
5:57
Speaker 2: But the button okay, But why did you want to
5:58
Speaker 2: say ninety nine?
5:59
Speaker 1: I don't know if better in my brain flows better flows?
6:02
Speaker 2: Okay. Quick side note here. One of my favorite numbers
6:06
Speaker 2: of all time is nineteen ninety seven. Really, not because
6:09
Speaker 2: it was a good year or anything. I just remember
6:12
Speaker 2: as a kid being in like I think it was
6:14
Speaker 2: like fourth grade or something. I don't know, but we
6:16
Speaker 2: had to write the date at the top of our
6:17
Speaker 2: assignments and stuff. Okay, and I remember when the new
6:20
Speaker 2: year came in and it was writing nineteen ninety eight.
6:23
Speaker 2: It just looked weird to me. I was like, and
6:24
Speaker 2: then I wrote nineteen ninety seven right below it, and
6:26
Speaker 2: I'm like, that number just looks satisfying.
6:29
Speaker 1: So you want to be stuck in nineteen ninety seven.
6:31
Speaker 2: I just like the look of the number nineteen ninety seven.
6:34
Speaker 2: There's something there that's just I don't know, appealing.
6:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually feel like there's clothing brands that I'm
6:39
Speaker 1: thinking about, or maybe it's nineteen seventy seven. I don't know. Anyway,
6:43
Speaker 1: the seventy seven is too many.
6:45
Speaker 2: Sevens ninety nine is okay because it's in the middle
6:49
Speaker 2: and you have the one in the seven on either side, okay,
6:51
Speaker 2: and the seven and one are similar, so a balance
6:53
Speaker 2: is nice.
6:54
Speaker 1: There you go. Now you got in weird fact.
6:56
Speaker 2: I like the number in nineteen ninety seven, no specific
6:59
Speaker 2: reason other than it's just looks it's satisfying.
7:02
Speaker 1: Well, that was why I was like nineteen nine and nine.
7:04
Speaker 1: That flows good. Okay. So we're going to talk about
7:06
Speaker 1: the murder of Katasina Zawata. You ready, I'm ready? Do
7:10
Speaker 1: you know about this?
7:11
Speaker 2: I a little bit barely, Like I could give you
7:16
Speaker 2: an elevator pitch and that's about it, Okay, not even hardly.
7:19
Speaker 1: We're going a little deeper than an elevator pitch, I hope.
7:21
Speaker 2: So.
7:22
Speaker 1: So, at the time, Katasina was twenty three years old,
7:25
Speaker 1: she was a university student and right at the start
7:28
Speaker 1: of her life. But her start had already been a
7:31
Speaker 1: bit rough around the edges. Her father died just two
7:34
Speaker 1: years before she started university, and his death had a
7:38
Speaker 1: huge impact on her. Her friends and classmates described her
7:42
Speaker 1: as someone who was nice, but also someone who always
7:45
Speaker 1: seems sad and a bit withdrawn. It sucks, I know,
7:48
Speaker 1: isn't that just like, oh.
7:50
Speaker 2: Those people are usually thinking of other people more than themselves.
7:54
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, yeah, she just like has a lot of
7:57
Speaker 1: big feelings. Probably m h. Actually, since the death of
8:01
Speaker 1: her father, Katasina had been suffering from depression, and it
8:05
Speaker 1: was pretty clear that she was feeling the side effects
8:08
Speaker 1: of that rippling through the rest of her life as well. Socially,
8:12
Speaker 1: she was shutting down and academically she just couldn't seem
8:16
Speaker 1: to pick a direction. She was attending university in Krackow,
8:20
Speaker 1: but in the short time she'd been there, she'd already
8:22
Speaker 1: changed her field of study three times. Honestly, Okay, I
8:27
Speaker 1: just like saying something quick here. It is incredibly hard
8:30
Speaker 1: to like at a young age because that's in your
8:33
Speaker 1: early twenties. It's pretty young, and people are even making
8:36
Speaker 1: those decisions in their late teens. To choose what you
8:39
Speaker 1: want to do for the rest of your life.
8:40
Speaker 2: Oh, one hundred percent, especially like you think of parents
8:43
Speaker 2: asking little kids like, oh, you're twelve years old, what
8:45
Speaker 2: do you want to do for the next I don't know,
8:47
Speaker 2: seventy fucking years.
8:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, So her changing because I think lots of times
8:52
Speaker 1: people they get there and then they're attending some classes.
8:54
Speaker 1: Oh it doesn't like feel that right, So I think
8:56
Speaker 1: it's totally fine to just change how to kind of explore.
8:59
Speaker 2: I have totally respect that.
9:00
Speaker 1: So where was I here?
9:03
Speaker 2: Oh?
9:03
Speaker 1: Did I disuse my spot?
9:05
Speaker 2: You did, didn't you?
9:06
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh yeah. She spent her first semester studying psychology.
9:11
Speaker 1: Then she dabbled in history for a little while before
9:14
Speaker 1: she found her feet and decided to study religious studies instead. Okay,
9:18
Speaker 1: and that was a good first steps towards getting her
9:21
Speaker 1: life back on track and settled. But it wasn't the
9:23
Speaker 1: only thing that Katasino was doing to try to get
9:26
Speaker 1: her life together. She was also in psychiatric treatment for
9:31
Speaker 1: her depression.
9:32
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's good. Seeking help is a really good thing.
9:35
Speaker 1: Absolutely no one should be afraid of seeking help or
9:37
Speaker 1: like feel shameful.
9:38
Speaker 2: Agreed.
9:39
Speaker 1: So she'd been going to a clinic for a while
9:42
Speaker 1: and she was sticking with it, just pushing through. What
9:45
Speaker 1: the end goal of getting better, right goal, And that
9:49
Speaker 1: was what she was doing on November twelfth, nineteen ninety eight,
9:52
Speaker 1: or supposed to be doing.
9:54
Speaker 2: Oh no, whenever there's a date, some shits about to
9:58
Speaker 2: go down.
9:58
Speaker 1: Whenever date you dropped the dates, it's going down. We're
10:00
Speaker 1: sure she had an appointment at the clinic and the
10:03
Speaker 1: plan was to meet her mother there, but unfortunately, Katazina
10:08
Speaker 1: never showed up. Her mother waited the clinic, hoping that
10:12
Speaker 1: her daughter would show up or at least try to
10:14
Speaker 1: get in contact with her right But a few hours
10:17
Speaker 1: later it became painfully obvious that she wasn't coming.
10:21
Speaker 2: Damn.
10:22
Speaker 1: Something about this didn't sit right with Katasina's mother, and
10:26
Speaker 1: she went straight to the police station to try to
10:28
Speaker 1: file a missing person's report.
10:30
Speaker 2: Well that's good, I like. I like that she actually
10:32
Speaker 2: went forward with it right away, I know, rather than
10:34
Speaker 2: thinking and it's.
10:36
Speaker 1: Just making up shit in your head that actually went down.
10:38
Speaker 2: It's very natural for everyone to make excuses, being like, oh, no,
10:41
Speaker 2: it's probably this, or it's probably that. So I like
10:44
Speaker 2: that she actually said, no, something's probably wrong. I should
10:47
Speaker 2: go and report this right away.
10:49
Speaker 1: And we said, we've mentioned this so many times, but
10:51
Speaker 1: especially like in all these cases, a lot of times
10:54
Speaker 1: shit does go so too when people don't listen to
10:56
Speaker 1: their gout feelings. Right, So that her daughter was an
11:01
Speaker 1: adult and she'd only been missing for a few hours,
11:04
Speaker 1: the police didn't take Katsina's mother very seriously, and they
11:09
Speaker 1: told her that she would have to wait a bit
11:10
Speaker 1: longer to file the missing person's report.
11:15
Speaker 2: I understand. I mean, it makes sense you can't just
11:17
Speaker 2: be running after everything right away. But also in the
11:20
Speaker 2: same context, it's like you should probably be listening to
11:22
Speaker 2: the person filing.
11:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and I was. I honestly wanted to
11:26
Speaker 1: touch on this because we get that there's protocol, right,
11:30
Speaker 1: and then a lot of people too that I'll go missing,
11:32
Speaker 1: they do end up turning up, right, Yeah, But I
11:35
Speaker 1: do feel like there's extenuating circumstances where maybe they do
11:39
Speaker 1: need to take it seriously right away. For sure, Katsina
11:42
Speaker 1: she was suffering from depression, right.
11:45
Speaker 2: But the problem is, how do you differentiate I know,
11:48
Speaker 2: those cases from the other ones, right, yeah, because those
11:50
Speaker 2: are gonna be like the one percent I know.
11:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, but lots of times too, if it's out of
11:54
Speaker 1: character too, like she I thought her and her mom
11:57
Speaker 1: were close and she'd never really gone. Singer would have
12:00
Speaker 1: always checked in with her mom.
12:02
Speaker 2: So I just I don't know that out of character
12:04
Speaker 2: is a big one.
12:05
Speaker 1: And because especially in like a missing person's case, those
12:08
Speaker 1: first few hours are pretty like crucial. Oh yeah, like
12:11
Speaker 1: very crucial.
12:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't it like the most like the first twenty
12:15
Speaker 2: four hours is basically if you don't find him after.
12:17
Speaker 1: That, every hour chances just decreased.
12:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a statistical chance that every hour after
12:23
Speaker 2: those first twenty four hours is like eventually it's a zero.
12:27
Speaker 1: Yeah. So nonetheless, who really knows if anything was lost
12:31
Speaker 1: during that time that the police refused the mother's report.
12:35
Speaker 1: Things would, however, become a bit clearer on January sixth
12:38
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety nine, only unfortunately for Katasina and her mother,
12:43
Speaker 1: it was not the good kind of news.
12:45
Speaker 2: No.
12:47
Speaker 1: A pusher tug boat called the Elk was out on
12:49
Speaker 1: the Vistula that day when the captain noticed that something
12:53
Speaker 1: was wrong. It sounded like something was jammed or caught
12:56
Speaker 1: in the propeller, so he notified the crew and waited
13:00
Speaker 1: for it to be cleared. All right, your look on
13:04
Speaker 1: your face, this wasn't really anything that would alarm anyone.
13:09
Speaker 1: It was all pretty routine. Things like that happened all
13:12
Speaker 1: the time, and it was usually only some sort of
13:14
Speaker 1: debris like tree branch, which the crew could clear in
13:18
Speaker 1: the matter of a few minutes and everyone would be
13:19
Speaker 1: on their mosy way. But today would be different. When
13:23
Speaker 1: the crew opened the latch to go down to work
13:25
Speaker 1: on the propeller, they were hit with a horrible stench.
13:30
Speaker 1: Still not really knowing what they were about to get into,
13:34
Speaker 1: they started untangling what looked like a large strip of
13:37
Speaker 1: rubbery material out from around the propeller, but it wasn't rubber,
13:42
Speaker 1: and it didn't take them long to realize what it
13:44
Speaker 1: actually was. Once the crew had it free from the propeller,
13:49
Speaker 1: a human ear was spotted, and it became all too
13:52
Speaker 1: obvious that what they were looking at was a piece
13:55
Speaker 1: of human flesh.
13:58
Speaker 2: God, can you imagine going to work that day and
14:00
Speaker 2: just being like, oh, lotti dootty dot wait, there's a body, well, just.
14:04
Speaker 1: Being that shocked that you're like, oh, I gotta go,
14:06
Speaker 1: like get these fucking tree branches out from the propeller
14:09
Speaker 1: like every other day, and then boom, like you can't
14:12
Speaker 1: expect shit, no, like you never know when something's just
14:15
Speaker 1: going to go astray.
14:16
Speaker 2: Well, how many people do you hear about going for
14:18
Speaker 2: a walk in a park and discovering that shit?
14:20
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, I actually really hope that would never happen
14:23
Speaker 1: to me. I would freak, Yeah, I'd freak. So the head, arms,
14:28
Speaker 1: and legs were gone, leaving behind what looked like the
14:31
Speaker 1: skin of a woman's torso sewn together. Initially, all the
14:37
Speaker 1: authorities had to go with was this piece of skin,
14:40
Speaker 1: but they were able to collect a DNA sample and
14:42
Speaker 1: trace it back to Katasina. Katasina was still a missing person,
14:47
Speaker 1: and now with that particular part of her remains recovered,
14:51
Speaker 1: it was safe to say she was dead.
14:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was coming home.
14:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the question remained how had she died and
15:00
Speaker 1: who had done this horrible act to her. A week later,
15:03
Speaker 1: and from that same river, her right leg was found,
15:06
Speaker 1: and that was all anybody ever found of her. That
15:09
Speaker 1: was all that was found left of the body. No head, like,
15:12
Speaker 1: just basically this skin thing and her leg. That leg
15:18
Speaker 1: did create a few more theories, though The investigators believed
15:21
Speaker 1: that Katazina's body had been in the water when it
15:24
Speaker 1: had been struck by the Elk's propeller, splitting her body
15:28
Speaker 1: into many pieces and leaving a piece of her skin behind.
15:32
Speaker 1: But upon or beyond further examination the remains of the
15:37
Speaker 1: remains that theory easily went out the window.
15:40
Speaker 2: They were able to tell some pre striking propeller.
15:45
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, if that's.
15:48
Speaker 2: A scientific word, pre striking propeller.
15:50
Speaker 1: Bumpy stuff. Is that what you said, bumpy?
15:53
Speaker 2: I don't know what I said. What did I say?
15:57
Speaker 1: I don't even know.
15:59
Speaker 2: He was very signed.
16:00
Speaker 1: It was very It was like it showed that you
16:02
Speaker 1: were very educated on the Yes.
16:04
Speaker 2: Very articulate edumacation.
16:06
Speaker 1: Yes, showing through it was found. So what was found
16:11
Speaker 1: was that her skin was removed from her torso on purpose,
16:15
Speaker 1: and her limbs and head had been cut off. So
16:18
Speaker 1: this was not shit that the propeller did.
16:20
Speaker 2: Okay, so this was literally just skin they pulled from
16:23
Speaker 2: the propellers.
16:24
Speaker 1: Yes, God, Yes, her skin had been cut and sewn
16:28
Speaker 1: back together to make a body suit. It was almost
16:32
Speaker 1: like a vest, perhaps meaning that it was more than
16:35
Speaker 1: likely that her killer had made this to wear themselves.
16:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, so here comes that buffalo bill portion.
16:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, so treating it and sewing it back together just
16:47
Speaker 1: didn't make any sense otherwise, like this fucker.
16:50
Speaker 2: Was fucked fucked. Yeah, that's for sure.
16:54
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know else to explain that. It
16:56
Speaker 1: is so disgusting it is.
16:59
Speaker 2: I'm I'm gonna be honest, I might be a little
17:02
Speaker 2: bit desensitized to.
17:04
Speaker 1: This case because of that movie.
17:06
Speaker 2: Because of that movie, because I'm just having images of
17:09
Speaker 2: like I'm having cinema images pop in my head.
17:11
Speaker 1: Relevan than like you know, yeah, I'm not saying you're terrible,
17:14
Speaker 1: but it's like it's terrible that these like terrible movies
17:18
Speaker 1: do that to us.
17:19
Speaker 2: Kind of yeah, no, I agree, yeah, but it's like
17:22
Speaker 2: thinking about I can't really think of this as a
17:25
Speaker 2: real case almost right.
17:26
Speaker 1: Now, really, hey, oh well, there'll be a point where
17:28
Speaker 1: I think you can.
17:29
Speaker 2: I do hope I can, because I don't want to
17:31
Speaker 2: just brush over Katasina. No, but yeah, right now, I
17:35
Speaker 2: just I'm picturing Buffalo Bill the whole nine yards.
17:39
Speaker 1: So yeah, So Katazina's case quickly turned into a case
17:43
Speaker 1: on like any other in Poland, But that also meant
17:47
Speaker 1: that the investigators had no idea where to start looking
17:49
Speaker 1: for the person who'd done this to her. They interviewed
17:52
Speaker 1: suspect after suspect, but it looked like they were all
17:55
Speaker 1: out of luck when the most unbelievable thing happened in
18:00
Speaker 1: May of nineteen ninety nine, just a few months after
18:04
Speaker 1: Katizina's remains were discovered.
18:06
Speaker 2: You got to say nineteen ninety nine.
18:07
Speaker 1: I know, I actually noted that in my head, but
18:09
Speaker 1: I was like, just keep going, just keep reading your notes,
18:12
Speaker 1: don't get distracted.
18:13
Speaker 2: Sorry.
18:15
Speaker 1: So almost the exact same thing happened again. Really, this
18:20
Speaker 1: time the victim was a man, and this time the
18:23
Speaker 1: authorities already had somebody in custody. And I don't know
18:27
Speaker 1: if this is how you're going to pronounce this name,
18:29
Speaker 1: but I'm it's like Valdimir, Like I just can't. It's
18:31
Speaker 1: spelled exactly the Harry Potter name. So I'm just Voldemort Valdimir.
18:35
Speaker 1: It was Valdemart.
18:37
Speaker 2: Valdemort isn't Harry Potter.
18:38
Speaker 1: Okay, I think this is Valdemir. Then I'm getting their
18:40
Speaker 1: names mixed up.
18:41
Speaker 2: Yeah you are.
18:42
Speaker 1: He's like the evil one though, right, Yeah, he.
18:44
Speaker 2: Has no nose, right, that's him.
18:49
Speaker 1: So this valdem I think Valdemir w was the son
18:55
Speaker 1: of the murder victim, and he killed and scalped his
18:59
Speaker 1: own vall. He then pulled the skin off his father's face,
19:03
Speaker 1: made a mask and had been seen wearing Holy shit, Yes,
19:09
Speaker 1: that is so he does have like evil Harry Potter
19:12
Speaker 1: dude vibes.
19:13
Speaker 2: No kidding, I'm looking at this though. So he did
19:17
Speaker 2: this to his father, his father, and he did this too,
19:20
Speaker 2: I mean as of right now. If he did do
19:22
Speaker 2: it Katazina, they probably didn't know each other, probably a
19:27
Speaker 2: random act, or he saw her and scoped her out
19:29
Speaker 2: for something. So I don't see a connection for him
19:33
Speaker 2: doing this to just women. I think it's just he's
19:37
Speaker 2: just a sick individual and picks targets at random sort
19:40
Speaker 2: of thing for who knows what reason. Yeah, it's not
19:43
Speaker 2: a sex thing, I don't think, especially if he's doing
19:46
Speaker 2: it to his.
19:46
Speaker 1: Father, right well, yeah exactly. Oh gosh, yeah, he must
19:50
Speaker 1: have just like despised his father.
19:52
Speaker 2: Hey yeah, unless it's something that he did do and
19:54
Speaker 2: his father figured out, or he just got mad at
19:56
Speaker 2: his father and he just like, well I'm going to
19:57
Speaker 2: do it to him too.
19:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like that is some ra age and a half.
20:00
Speaker 1: No shit, that is about as much rage I think
20:02
Speaker 1: as someone could have on someone else. So for the investigators.
20:06
Speaker 1: All this was too many similarities for the cases not
20:10
Speaker 1: to be related, right, Yeah, of course, so Voldemir became
20:13
Speaker 1: the main suspect in Katazina's case as well. But incredibly,
20:18
Speaker 1: the investigators found no evidence to back that theory up,
20:21
Speaker 1: and it turned out that it was just a coincidence.
20:24
Speaker 2: What what really?
20:26
Speaker 1: Yes? And it is it is just a coincidence? Yes?
20:29
Speaker 2: Yes, wow, Okay.
20:31
Speaker 1: Within the year, Katazina's case was out of suspects, which
20:35
Speaker 1: meant which meant it was essentially dropped. Investigators continued to
20:39
Speaker 1: work on the case in their own time, but not
20:42
Speaker 1: with the same numbers of resources that had been dedicated
20:46
Speaker 1: to it before, and it didn't look like anyone expected
20:49
Speaker 1: to make any headway on it. But many years later,
20:53
Speaker 1: many many years later, in twenty twelve, oh, they caught
20:57
Speaker 1: a break when advances in technology gave new hope and
21:01
Speaker 1: new life to the investigation. I fucking love when that happens,
21:05
Speaker 1: to be.
21:05
Speaker 2: Honest, so do I. But I'm really curious on what
21:08
Speaker 2: sort of advances in technology would be able to dig
21:11
Speaker 2: up mangled skin evidence from like ten year, twenty years
21:17
Speaker 2: ago or whatever.
21:18
Speaker 1: Well no, because yeah, it was like nineteen ninety eight,
21:19
Speaker 1: so it's not really that.
21:20
Speaker 2: Many years, okay, so it's like fourteen years ago.
21:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't honestly specifically know. So Katasina's case
21:27
Speaker 1: was formally reopened, her remains were actually exhumed, and a
21:31
Speaker 1: second autopsy was conducted, all with the hopes of catching
21:35
Speaker 1: her killer. So I don't really know the exact technology
21:38
Speaker 1: that improved or what happened, but something.
21:41
Speaker 2: There must have been some other DNA discovered on it
21:45
Speaker 2: or something.
21:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean kind of around then and recently too,
21:48
Speaker 1: a lot of advances have been made kind of in
21:50
Speaker 1: science in that way too.
21:51
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well if you look at the last well
21:53
Speaker 2: since we'll say two thousands, since the year two thousand, yeah,
21:57
Speaker 2: to now, look how far technology has come. Yeah, not
22:00
Speaker 2: only just in like crime scene investigation sort of stuff
22:04
Speaker 2: and like DNA analysis, literally just technology all around.
22:09
Speaker 1: Absolutely, how fast.
22:10
Speaker 2: We can process information is so much more advanced that
22:16
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, maybe it would be like let's get
22:18
Speaker 2: a DNA test and it's going to take us ten
22:19
Speaker 2: months to do this, whereas now it's like, yeah, I'll
22:21
Speaker 2: have it done to you this afternoon, yeah, tomorrow. Not
22:24
Speaker 2: to say if they are that fast, but we had
22:26
Speaker 2: the capability to be that much faster.
22:28
Speaker 1: Exactly. Yes, And this time around, the autopsy was able
22:33
Speaker 1: to get a better idea of exactly what had happened
22:35
Speaker 1: to Katasina before she died, and Noah gave the investigators
22:39
Speaker 1: a better idea of who they were looking for. None
22:42
Speaker 1: of it painted a pretty picture of her last moments
22:45
Speaker 1: on earth. No I do actually find it weird, like
22:48
Speaker 1: maybe I should have tried to dig deeper into that.
22:50
Speaker 1: That's so much changed in those years, But I know
22:53
Speaker 1: in that time a lot of shit did change. So
22:55
Speaker 1: investigators described how the murder occurred in their official report,
23:00
Speaker 1: and I'll read it. It's not very long. So it
23:03
Speaker 1: is known that Katasina was tortured before her death. The
23:07
Speaker 1: right limb over the ankle joint had been strapped to
23:10
Speaker 1: something until finally, between December seventh and fourteenth of nineteen
23:15
Speaker 1: eighty eight, the perpetrator chalked the victim or sorry, choked chalked,
23:21
Speaker 1: choked the victim with a chain.
23:22
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety eight. Sorry, yeah, okay, you said eighty.
23:25
Speaker 1: Eight oh, nineteen ninety eight. Before that, he had given
23:29
Speaker 1: her drugs. He also broke her her femur and pelvis
23:33
Speaker 1: by punching a barbell and bodybuilding plate into her. Stab wounds,
23:39
Speaker 1: chop wounds, and lacerations were all discovered. He probably also
23:43
Speaker 1: sexually abused her when she was alive and dead.
23:47
Speaker 2: Wow what a piece of shit.
23:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. So now remember too, she went missing on November twelfth,
23:55
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, and I'm all fucked up with my dates,
23:57
Speaker 1: and they don't believe she was killed until December seventh,
24:01
Speaker 1: or between December seventh and fourteenth, Like they're not even sure.
24:04
Speaker 1: So that's like a month.
24:07
Speaker 2: Wow.
24:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
24:08
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if she was actually still alive for
24:11
Speaker 2: that time and enduring all that. Well, I think she was,
24:14
Speaker 2: but like, yeah, that's what I'm saying. If she was,
24:16
Speaker 2: can you imagine what she was going through?
24:17
Speaker 1: I know, fuck like hell on earth.
24:20
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:21
Speaker 1: Her official cause of death was blood loss. But this
24:25
Speaker 1: pot I literally have it here. But this poor woman
24:27
Speaker 1: went through absolute hell during the time she was held captive.
24:31
Speaker 1: Along with being tortured during the possible month that the
24:34
Speaker 1: killer had had her, and the traces of sexual abuse
24:37
Speaker 1: both before and after her death, it was highly likely
24:40
Speaker 1: that the skin from Catazina's torso had been removed while
24:45
Speaker 1: she was still alive.
24:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. If her
24:48
Speaker 2: death was blood loss, I was thinking either she was
24:50
Speaker 2: probably a skinned alive or be she was being delimbed alive.
24:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is almost too much to fathom, Like, that's
24:59
Speaker 1: too much.
25:00
Speaker 2: That would probably be one of the most excruciating oh
25:03
Speaker 2: anyone could ever feel.
25:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't even imagine. In the following years, people
25:09
Speaker 1: from all over the world, including the FBI and UN
25:12
Speaker 1: would send experts and consultants in hopes of helping the
25:16
Speaker 1: Polish authorities catch the man who'd done this to Katazina.
25:20
Speaker 1: By twenty sixteen, everyone was on the lookout for a
25:24
Speaker 1: man with sadistic tendencies, with a prior history with abuse
25:29
Speaker 1: towards women, and someone trained in martial arts.
25:33
Speaker 2: Well, whoa, whoa, whoa.
25:34
Speaker 1: I'll explain this is that.
25:35
Speaker 2: Because of the barbelle punching.
25:37
Speaker 1: Thing, possibly the way in which she had been so
25:41
Speaker 1: badly beaten and with such force led investigators to believe
25:46
Speaker 1: that the killer was trained in mixed martial arts.
25:50
Speaker 2: Really.
25:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was literally like on their sheet of
25:54
Speaker 1: what they look for. Fuck.
25:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes this person even more disgusting.
25:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very disturbing.
26:02
Speaker 2: Cool, Okay, generally along with martial arts, there is a
26:07
Speaker 2: very big thing about you use this for self defense only.
26:11
Speaker 2: There's a big respect factor in it. I mean a
26:14
Speaker 2: lot of martial arts comes from like Japan or China,
26:16
Speaker 2: right where honor and such is a huge part of it.
26:19
Speaker 1: I knew you'd have to speak on this because for
26:21
Speaker 1: people that don't know Ben, you was like in karate
26:24
Speaker 1: for a long time. Yeah, I think a very long time.
26:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a national level competitor and yeah, yeah,
26:29
Speaker 2: so I feel that one a little bit.
26:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, so in many ways I knew that you think
26:34
Speaker 1: that's very disturbing.
26:35
Speaker 2: That's very very disturbing.
26:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. So in some ways it was an almost expected profile,
26:42
Speaker 1: but when it comes to potential murder suspect, sorry, it
26:46
Speaker 1: was an expected profile. But then in other ways, there
26:50
Speaker 1: was many things in there that were a bit out
26:51
Speaker 1: of the ordinary, but not out of the ordinary enough
26:54
Speaker 1: that investigators could use it to really narrow down the
26:57
Speaker 1: list of suspects. But it was a profile that would
27:01
Speaker 1: come together and make sense a year later.
27:03
Speaker 2: A year later, Hey, I feel so.
27:05
Speaker 1: Bad with these time gaps, Like the family just must
27:08
Speaker 1: be in like freaking agony.
27:10
Speaker 2: But the nice thing is is that they're not still
27:13
Speaker 2: in a time gap. When a time gap comes to
27:16
Speaker 2: an end, that means someone eventually got closure.
27:18
Speaker 1: Yeah right, but still they hadn't waited long down time
27:22
Speaker 1: for all this.
27:22
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I get don't get me wrong, Like
27:25
Speaker 2: that's fucking horrendous that they had to go through that.
27:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at least it ended exactly. And I wonder
27:30
Speaker 1: if the mom, hopefully a mom was even alive to
27:32
Speaker 1: have received that. In twenty seventeen, the investigators received a letter.
27:38
Speaker 1: Exactly what was in that letter had been kept a secret,
27:41
Speaker 1: but we do know that the letter suggested that the
27:43
Speaker 1: authorities take a closer look at one man in particular,
27:47
Speaker 1: and this man had actually been a person of interest
27:50
Speaker 1: in the initial investigation, but not enough evidence was found
27:54
Speaker 1: to convict him, Robert Ynchevsky. By then, Robert was a
27:59
Speaker 1: fifty two year old man who loved martial arts and
28:02
Speaker 1: was living in Crackow. And Robert had a dark background.
28:07
Speaker 1: He'd grown up in a devoutly religious household with an
28:10
Speaker 1: abusive father, and the side effects of that had started
28:14
Speaker 1: to show when Robert was still quite young. As a child,
28:18
Speaker 1: Robert was known to abuse cats and dogs, and that
28:22
Speaker 1: abuse had only grown into the years that followed.
28:25
Speaker 2: Always starts with the animal, not always, but it seems
28:27
Speaker 2: like fucking every other case starts with the animals. I know,
28:29
Speaker 2: poor fucking helpless animals.
28:31
Speaker 1: I just hate that. At one point, Robert had been
28:35
Speaker 1: working at the Krakow Institute of Zoology, that was until
28:39
Speaker 1: he was fired. Robert had been looking after the rabbits
28:42
Speaker 1: in the institute that day, but by the time he
28:45
Speaker 1: went to hand over his shift to the next person,
28:49
Speaker 1: all the rabbits were dead.
28:51
Speaker 2: All of them, every single one.
28:53
Speaker 1: Yep. Robert claimed that he had no idea what happened,
28:55
Speaker 1: and the institute immediately fired his ass. Wow, okay, could
29:00
Speaker 1: you like, what the fuck?
29:02
Speaker 2: Hey, It's like being like, oh, I'm going into my
29:04
Speaker 2: shift to flip some burgers today and after your shift
29:07
Speaker 2: you're just walking out of the restaurant as it burns
29:08
Speaker 2: to the ground. Yeah. I don't know what happened, very.
29:11
Speaker 1: Much like he had one job of probably keeping the
29:13
Speaker 1: rabbits alive and they all died.
29:15
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, good job, Robert.
29:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. So now for the next piece of information. And
29:21
Speaker 1: there are mixed reports here, so some say while at
29:23
Speaker 1: the institute, of zoology, Robert could observe and learned how
29:27
Speaker 1: to peel away mammal's skin or the process of preparing
29:31
Speaker 1: animal skins. And some say that previously to the zoo,
29:35
Speaker 1: he had apparently worked in a dissecting lab where he
29:38
Speaker 1: dealt with human corpses. So I don't know, take your pick,
29:42
Speaker 1: I suppose, but either way it gave him the skill
29:44
Speaker 1: to create a human body suit, as he did to Katasina.
29:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, either of those sounds like it would be a
29:52
Speaker 2: a background story for an evil villain in a comic book.
29:54
Speaker 1: Oh, actually, one hundred percent. Yeah, one hundred percent. So
29:59
Speaker 1: Robert also had a history of harassing women, spying on
30:02
Speaker 1: his neighbors, and was known to war to wear women's clothing.
30:06
Speaker 2: Oh so, not only was he an absolute douche Canoe,
30:08
Speaker 2: he was an all around douche Canoe, got it?
30:11
Speaker 1: Got it? Yeah, for the harassing women and spying on
30:14
Speaker 1: the neighbor's part, not for wearing women's clothing.
30:17
Speaker 2: I mean, you could wear women's clothing if you want.
30:19
Speaker 2: He just sounds like an absolute douche.
30:20
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all of the above is.
30:22
Speaker 2: Absolute douche who happens to wear women's clothing. Yeah, there's
30:25
Speaker 2: nothing wrong with you wear whatever you want. I don't
30:27
Speaker 2: give a shit. He's just a douche who does that thing.
30:29
Speaker 1: And the women's clothing is only in there because like
30:32
Speaker 1: that could kind of describe why he would want this
30:34
Speaker 1: like women's body suit.
30:36
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's exactly how it played out for Buffalo Bill.
30:40
Speaker 1: You're still on the Buffalo, Well, yeah.
30:42
Speaker 2: That is literally the plot line of silence and lambs. Yeah,
30:46
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill was transgender. He was a male and he
30:50
Speaker 2: felt like he should be a woman. So the reason
30:52
Speaker 2: why he went out and skinned women was so he
30:56
Speaker 2: could make a skin suit for him to wear. He
31:00
Speaker 2: could feel like he was in the skin. He felt
31:02
Speaker 2: like he should be in.
31:03
Speaker 1: Right, And I do think that one of the reports
31:06
Speaker 1: I read said that Robert was bisexual, so and I
31:09
Speaker 1: think I forgot to put that in here. So after
31:12
Speaker 1: the letter, investigators put eyes on Robert while they waited
31:16
Speaker 1: to collect more and more evidence against him, right, and
31:19
Speaker 1: what they discovered was pretty fucked up and would seal
31:23
Speaker 1: his fate.
31:25
Speaker 2: There we go.
31:25
Speaker 1: There was one place that Robert, Robert would routinely visit.
31:31
Speaker 1: Do you have any guesses? I think you should be
31:34
Speaker 1: able to guess.
31:35
Speaker 2: This probably the university where she was studying.
31:40
Speaker 1: Her grave?
31:41
Speaker 2: Her grave, her grave? How the fuck was I going
31:44
Speaker 2: to guess that?
31:44
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought you might.
31:46
Speaker 2: That's way out of left field.
31:48
Speaker 1: She would routinely go and visit her grave site.
31:51
Speaker 2: Really whoa? That is fucked up on.
31:54
Speaker 1: Another really messed up? Yeah, really mess Wow.
31:57
Speaker 2: I wonder why he would be visiting her grave.
31:59
Speaker 1: Well, I don't don't know. He was probably like obsessed
32:01
Speaker 1: with her, right, maybe I don't know.
32:06
Speaker 2: But in which way was he obsessed with her? Was
32:08
Speaker 2: he obsessed in mourning what he did to her?
32:10
Speaker 1: Oh that could be Actually.
32:12
Speaker 2: Was he like sorry for his actions? Was he obsessed
32:16
Speaker 2: with her as a person and wished he didn't do that?
32:19
Speaker 2: Was he obsessed with the power that he held over
32:21
Speaker 2: her now even in life and death, being like, yeah,
32:24
Speaker 2: no one fucking knows, I'm the one here standing over
32:26
Speaker 2: your grave and still no one knows, Like.
32:29
Speaker 1: Why I know, I don't think anyone really knows? That
32:32
Speaker 1: is fuck and well I'll touch on that and again
32:34
Speaker 1: in a secon in a sec fuck. So, after realizing that,
32:39
Speaker 1: the authorities moved in on Robert and he was arrested
32:42
Speaker 1: on October fourth of twenty seventeen. They also discovered a
32:46
Speaker 1: few more things in his apartment. They found blood in
32:48
Speaker 1: his bathroom, and it was never really said if it
32:51
Speaker 1: was like Katerina's blood, but I think you can probably
32:56
Speaker 1: assume that it was. And they also found his diary,
32:59
Speaker 1: where he'd written a detailed account of how he'd murdered her.
33:02
Speaker 2: Of course he fucking did.
33:04
Speaker 1: Yep. So Robert was charged with aggorated murder with particular cruelty.
33:11
Speaker 1: His entire defense hinged on him saying that he didn't
33:15
Speaker 1: know Katerina Katerina, yeah, and had nothing to do with
33:19
Speaker 1: her death, Like he didn't fucking know her, but yet
33:22
Speaker 1: he's like visiting her grave on a routine basis, which
33:26
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense.
33:28
Speaker 2: Kata Zina, isn't it.
33:29
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think Katazine. Yeah, I'm saying her
33:32
Speaker 1: name wrong all of a sudden.
33:33
Speaker 2: Sorry, that's okay, it's sometimes it's it's difficult when you
33:36
Speaker 2: start talking about another name from another language.
33:39
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, so that doesn't make any sense. No, he
33:44
Speaker 1: doesn't know this person, but yet he's like visiting their grave.
33:46
Speaker 2: And it's in his diary.
33:48
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And there's blood in his bathroom.
33:51
Speaker 2: Yeah again walking away from your shift at work and
33:54
Speaker 2: at the building is burning down, being like that's what happened.
33:57
Speaker 1: Such a good comparison there, Oh my gosh. So agencies
34:00
Speaker 1: and institutions all over the world, not just in Poland,
34:03
Speaker 1: were eager to see what would happen with this case,
34:06
Speaker 1: and that tipped the scales. When it did eventually go
34:09
Speaker 1: to court in twenty nineteen, an order was issue that
34:12
Speaker 1: made the trial closed to the public, meaning that a
34:16
Speaker 1: lot of the information and evidence that the prosecution had
34:19
Speaker 1: against Robert had remained a mystery, including the actual outcome
34:23
Speaker 1: of the case.
34:24
Speaker 2: Oh even the outcome.
34:26
Speaker 1: Yes, So what we do know is that the case
34:29
Speaker 1: had gone to court and Robert remains in custody. From that,
34:34
Speaker 1: we can say that he was at least found guilty
34:36
Speaker 1: of something, presumingly in relation to Katazina, but we can't
34:40
Speaker 1: say for sure or for how long he's expected to
34:43
Speaker 1: be in prison for Robert had made several complaints of
34:47
Speaker 1: abuse from the guards, but investigators, perhaps unsurprisingly, couldn't find
34:52
Speaker 1: anything to back up his claims. For the rest of us,
34:56
Speaker 1: who weren't the ones who were allowed in the court room,
35:00
Speaker 1: it looks like we'll have to wait until Robert is released,
35:03
Speaker 1: if ever, to find out exactly what he was found
35:06
Speaker 1: guilty of and if he really did torture, rape, and
35:10
Speaker 1: kill Katasina. That's also counting on Robert actually admitting to
35:15
Speaker 1: his crimes if he's released, or if he's going to
35:18
Speaker 1: continue to claim that he has no idea who she
35:21
Speaker 1: was even after he visited her grave on routine basis.
35:25
Speaker 1: To date, the case is considered one of the most
35:28
Speaker 1: disturbing murders in Polish history.
35:32
Speaker 2: Wow, that is very different that the court did not
35:37
Speaker 2: issue any details even after deliberation.
35:39
Speaker 1: And because he's an adult, right, that almost seems like
35:42
Speaker 1: it was like an adolescent adolescence. Yeah.
35:46
Speaker 2: Interesting. I mean, I actually honestly don't mind the idea
35:51
Speaker 2: of their not being publicized court cases until afterwards, until
35:57
Speaker 2: after sentencing and stuff.
35:58
Speaker 1: Well, because media can actually, oh it can big time.
36:02
Speaker 2: It can definitely. I mean, for example, as much as
36:04
Speaker 2: it was entertaining for all of us the whole Johnny
36:07
Speaker 2: Depp and Amber Herd case in like he was on
36:10
Speaker 2: TV and ever, look how many people had opinions on everything.
36:15
Speaker 1: Was that actually that entertaining?
36:16
Speaker 2: I mean, it was entertaining for a lot of people.
36:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, but I mean it was also ridiculous,
36:21
Speaker 1: that's all. I mean, if you found it entertaining, that's
36:23
Speaker 1: totally fine, but it was also ridiculous.
36:25
Speaker 2: Well how above and beyond people were going with it
36:28
Speaker 2: sort of thing. Yeah, But I just I don't mind
36:31
Speaker 2: that idea on keeping it quiet, not releasing too many details,
36:35
Speaker 2: letting the court do its thing, and then after sentencing,
36:38
Speaker 2: after finding out what occurred, then releasing things.
36:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, because is this not going to I mean, maybe
36:45
Speaker 1: they're going to release something eventually, but like if he
36:48
Speaker 1: just comes out, are they not going to say anything
36:49
Speaker 1: and then this day it's just like walk on the streets.
36:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding. I think that there's almost like a
36:56
Speaker 2: right for the public to know, you know, yeah, especially
37:00
Speaker 2: if he does go walking free. Yeah wow, Okay.
37:04
Speaker 1: I know it's a different between mind blowing, but it
37:07
Speaker 1: is still like fairly fresh. So I'm I'm almost maybe
37:12
Speaker 1: in my brain, I'm like, oh, well, maybe like COVID
37:14
Speaker 1: screwed something up and there it's actually not even like
37:16
Speaker 1: done yet, Like I don't know, who knows. I don't
37:19
Speaker 1: know because this, I mean, he went to court, it
37:21
Speaker 1: said in twenty and eighteen, and maybe things didn't finish
37:24
Speaker 1: off before COVID hit or something. And I don't know,
37:28
Speaker 1: that's just me being like to what's the word, like,
37:31
Speaker 1: to overzealous there that it is going to come out.
37:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, too hopeful, too hopeful, Yeah, gotcha.
37:37
Speaker 1: Huh So, yeah, that is the brutal murder Katsina.
37:43
Speaker 2: It sounds like he fucking did it.
37:44
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean it does sound incredibly like he
37:47
Speaker 1: did it.
37:48
Speaker 2: He wrote detailed accounts in his diary yeah, about committing it.
37:52
Speaker 1: And that blood. I mean, it never even released if
37:55
Speaker 1: that blood was hers in the bathroom, but I mean
37:57
Speaker 1: I'm just assuming.
37:58
Speaker 2: Even still if there were, there would be no noteworthy
38:02
Speaker 2: reason to note if it was his own blood. So
38:04
Speaker 2: it's clearly going to be someone else's blood. Yeah, because
38:07
Speaker 2: I mean, how many times if you like, I don't know,
38:09
Speaker 2: picked a hangnail and like, oh shit, and you're bleeding
38:11
Speaker 2: in your own bathroom or stubbed your toe or who
38:13
Speaker 2: knows what.
38:13
Speaker 1: Right, Oh yeah, I was bleeding buckets the other day
38:15
Speaker 1: when I was trying to get an am grown tone.
38:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, clear, Yeah.
38:19
Speaker 1: It was like a scene and a half in there.
38:21
Speaker 2: Exactly. Bleeding in bathrooms is not an abnormal thing.
38:24
Speaker 1: So but I mean, unless it wasn't like her blood,
38:27
Speaker 1: unless it was someone else's, like he knows. Maybe, but
38:29
Speaker 1: it could have even found more things about him being
38:32
Speaker 1: even worse or doing this to other people.
38:34
Speaker 2: Could have linked him to other crimes. Yeah, he could
38:37
Speaker 2: be a serial killer.
38:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, because that what he did was pretty
38:41
Speaker 1: messed up, and it doesn't seem like that would be
38:43
Speaker 1: the first case, the first thing that you would do.
38:47
Speaker 2: To I don't think so. Usually you start off pretty small,
38:49
Speaker 2: and he's skinned someone and turned them into a vest.
38:52
Speaker 1: Skin them pretty much alive yet, So that's.
38:55
Speaker 2: Pretty extreme to start right out from the get go.
38:57
Speaker 1: I feel like he has to be a serial I.
39:00
Speaker 2: Would assume so, But I mean you can't just assume
39:03
Speaker 2: those things. You'd have to find evidence, right I know.
39:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, that's.
39:07
Speaker 2: Wild and it's crazy that there just happened to be
39:09
Speaker 2: someone else who skinned their father's face.
39:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, at this pretty much the same time.
39:14
Speaker 2: And dumped the body in a similar fashion.
39:17
Speaker 1: I don't know if they did dump the body. I
39:18
Speaker 1: don't think I said they dumped the body.
39:20
Speaker 2: Didn't you say that they got caught up in a
39:21
Speaker 2: boat propeller the same way or something?
39:23
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. I think you just made
39:25
Speaker 1: that up.
39:26
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you did say it.
39:28
Speaker 1: Oh. I think it might have been for that case. Oh.
39:31
Speaker 1: I didn't look into it too much, but I think
39:32
Speaker 1: it might have been like the grandfather or something that
39:36
Speaker 1: had turned him in. And I don't know if this
39:39
Speaker 1: is legit, Like, I don't know, but there was some
39:42
Speaker 1: I didn't research this enough, but there was one report
39:45
Speaker 1: that basically said that he wore this mask like in
39:48
Speaker 1: front of his grandfather, pretending to be like the dad
39:51
Speaker 1: the fuck, which is real fucked no shit. Yeah, so
39:57
Speaker 1: we're also hoping that that that Valdemir is also in
40:01
Speaker 1: jail for like ever.
40:04
Speaker 2: Wow.
40:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you can do that to your own dad.
40:09
Speaker 2: To your own dad, to your.
40:10
Speaker 1: Own grandpa, yeah, I mean his dad might have done
40:13
Speaker 1: some ship to him, though we don't know.
40:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that doesn't deserve fucking getting skinned.
40:17
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. But I just mean, like I was saying,
40:20
Speaker 1: if you can do that to your dad, what could
40:21
Speaker 1: you do to someone else? But then maybe the dad
40:23
Speaker 1: actually did bad things and blah blah blah.
40:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the dad aggravated him to the point that
40:29
Speaker 2: he broke doesn't mean it's an excuse to break and
40:31
Speaker 2: do those highness things. But yeah, heinous highness.
40:38
Speaker 1: Heinous highness is like your highness. Yeah, oh my gosh,
40:42
Speaker 1: we're we're really winning on this podcast today.
40:45
Speaker 2: And I'm only drinking water.
40:46
Speaker 1: Both of us are. Okay, maybe alcohol is like our

Speaker 1: Our day, it really does.
41:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good job on that episode, babe.
41:56
Speaker 1: Thank you. It was actually at first it's kind of like, oh,
41:59
Speaker 1: do I want to research this one? Like sometimes it's
42:01
Speaker 1: just like it gets to your head and your I'd
42:05
Speaker 1: rather like watch a Sunshine and Rainbow show than like
42:08
Speaker 1: research this. But it was actually very It was very interesting,
42:11
Speaker 1: and I kind of did a little bit of a
42:13
Speaker 1: deeper dive in some spots, and I mean, it's horrible
42:17
Speaker 1: what happened to her, just so unnecessary. But yeah, some
42:21
Speaker 1: of the things in here are very different and like wow, yeah.
42:25
Speaker 2: And thankfully I was actually able to separate the whole
42:27
Speaker 2: Buffalo build thing in my head. Initially, I was like, oh,
42:31
Speaker 2: I'm just just literally fucking picturing this Hollywood movie sitting
42:35
Speaker 2: down watching TV. But no, it was very not very
42:39
Speaker 2: long after that where I was like, Okay, this is
42:41
Speaker 2: this is a real case. It is a real person,
42:43
Speaker 2: a real situation, so and.
42:44
Speaker 1: Just think about, Okay, this is a tay I'm so
42:47
Speaker 1: sorry in events, but she is leaving her mom behind,
42:51
Speaker 1: and her mom had already lost the dad. Oh so
42:54
Speaker 1: the poor mom is like another real victim in this fuck. Anyway,
43:00
Speaker 1: that that, I do apologize.
43:02
Speaker 2: You just sprink a little bit of salt into that wound.
43:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not the good.
43:07
Speaker 2: Well, on that note, thank you, we appreciate it for
43:11
Speaker 2: sprinkling the assault on your wounds. I got another case
43:15
Speaker 2: coming up next time. It's a little less sad. Yeah,
43:18
Speaker 2: we asked our patrons to give us a case. It's
43:21
Speaker 2: a little more light hearted. I mean it is still
43:24
Speaker 2: crime based. So yeah, a little more less sad case
43:30
Speaker 2: coming next week.
43:31
Speaker 1: Here we go, so we have something to look forward to.
43:33
Speaker 1: We have our second anniversary you look forward to, and
43:35
Speaker 1: a not so sad case. Yes we're winning.
43:38
Speaker 2: Yes it'll be a good one all right.
43:41
Speaker 1: Well, until then, stay wicked.
