Transcript
- 0:30Hey everybody. Serial killer country.
- 0:31My name is Brittany. Ransom, my name is Brian Joiner
- 0:35and this is when Killers get caught a podcast of what a deep
- 0:38dives into the Killer's. We love to learn about each
- 0:40week. Brian, and I discussed to true
- 0:42crime stories that resonated with us this week and then I
- 0:45will lead you down the darker path of learning about who a
- 0:48killer was, how they grew up how they killed and most importantly
- 0:52how they got caught and then Brian ends our podcast with a
- 0:55touch of the Paranormal, a story about Cryptids or just the
- 0:59creepiest. Of life.
- 1:02And as usual we'd like to say thank you for listening.
- 1:06Yeah, so this week in True Crime, I actually talked about
- 1:11this story on Tick-Tock and people were pretty excited about
- 1:14it, but I know that the cross section of I think people who do
- 1:18both is pretty small and so Brian.
- 1:21Have you ever heard of baby Holly?
- 1:25It sounds familiar. So baby Holly was a little girl
- 1:29who was found in the woods near her parents.
- 1:32Who were dead about 40 years ago?
- 1:36Yeah, sounds familiar. Yeah, I think I heard a story.
- 1:38Yep. And Pretty much they were
- 1:44newlyweds. They were my brain.
- 1:50Well the the grandma is the one who's left.
- 1:52Now, her name is Donna, Casa. Santa and baby, Holly Marie
- 1:58Klaus, who is now 42 years old? And the mother of five was
- 2:02located. Her parents were Harold, Dean
- 2:06Klaus and Tina, Gayle Klaus and they disappeared in sometime
- 2:12between December and 1979 and January of 1980.
- 2:19And here's the thing, the parents were only identified
- 2:23last year. What they have been unidentified
- 2:28remains for most of the time that Holly is also been missing
- 2:32of course to her she wasn't missing right horse but a lot of
- 2:37this is thanks to those DNA test that everybody loves to take and
- 2:43Essentially, there was a match. and, Interestingly enough when
- 2:57Donna Casa Santa learned? That her son was dead.
- 3:03It was pretty wild. And an interesting thing
- 3:05happened that we've learned since then, so after her parents
- 3:09were killed, right? Donna cusses hunt against a
- 3:13phone call from these women and mind you, this is Texas, they
- 3:17had just moved there, they were new to the area.
- 3:20So virtually nobody knew they were missing.
- 3:22It only Donna knew that she hadn't heard from her son and
- 3:27somebody who was out walking their dog in the woods as usual.
- 3:30That's the way that seems to always find, you know, people in
- 3:33the woods and the baby had been dropped off at like a church but
- 3:41she got a phone call from these two women.
- 3:43Specifically one who called herself sister Susan and sister
- 3:47Susan had her son's car and was like meet us in Daytona and
- 3:51we'll sell you your Suns car back.
- 3:57Donna. Of course tells the police but
- 4:00there's nothing they could really do.
- 4:02They couldn't hold them on anything and they couldn't prove
- 4:04that they hadn't just found the car and taken at.
- 4:08But sister Susan said that she was a part of a religious
- 4:11organization that old that believes in separating men and
- 4:14women and it's just it makes no sense why.
- 4:18This is probably who they think killed them but they have no
- 4:20idea. It makes no sense because I
- 4:22didn't even keep the baby. Holly ended up getting adopted
- 4:28but her grandmother says that like they met over zoom and it
- 4:33was an intense moment and she looks just like her mom.
- 4:39Like there's a photo of her holding a picture of her parents
- 4:42and she's a baby and she looks a lot like her mother and her
- 4:45grandmother was like they even sound the same.
- 4:48Wow, that's why, but we're still.
- 4:53They're still trying to figure out who killed Um, but I mean,
- 4:56that's probably going to feel like it's going to reveal itself
- 5:01real soon. You think so, I my brain thinks
- 5:04it's not going to happen, but at least we're done.
- 5:07I feel kind of happy for her because she just found out.
- 5:09She has five great-grandkids. That's so old that she has a
- 5:14family to reach out to. That's a good one for you.
- 5:22Before I take you down the awful path today.
- 5:25Well, guess what? I think.
- 5:27We're on the same wavelength today.
- 5:30Because guess what, what? I got.
- 5:32A nice one for you, too. All right.
- 5:35Okay. So earlier this week, A corgi
- 5:44and Lancaster, which was shot in the head, what?
- 5:49Yeah, he would hurt that baby. I don't know, he's adorable.
- 5:54Um, his name is Arthur, and yeah.
- 5:59So from what I've seen from the PSP ca, for instance, from their
- 6:05Instagram profile, they found them and like it appear to eat.
- 6:11Was shot in the head. But he is alive.
- 6:15He is alive shot right between his eyes and whoever shot him.
- 6:20Left him for dead. But like he crawled under a
- 6:23fence into like a, I guess family someone's family's farm
- 6:30and I guess they brought him into the, you know, P SPCA and
- 6:37like it took him two weeks to like, heal up, but No, no, no.
- 6:43It took into two weeks until they called him now goodness
- 6:48gracious. I crank it was, it was two weeks
- 6:51ago, it was to happen to weeks ago.
- 6:53I'm still having a hard time right now.
- 6:56I'm so sorry. It happened two weeks ago that
- 7:02they, that they got this call from this family, the PSP CA
- 7:06that they had found a dog who wandered into their, like, their
- 7:09property and he had Some type of mooners head and like he ran
- 7:15from somebody, obviously who tried to kill him.
- 7:23He is alive there. I guess there is a bullet that
- 7:28was left in his in his head, he had.
- 7:33He was very, very badly taken care of.
- 7:37He had fleas yet here. Affections.
- 7:40He was anemic boy. This dog.
- 7:43Had it rough. And then it's like top it off.
- 7:47Someone tried to shoot him in the head.
- 7:48Oh, someone tissue in my head. Yeah.
- 7:52But there are searching investigating to see, like, who
- 7:57would even do this, who would do this?
- 8:02Why someone would do this to? Like, it's a little Corgi cute
- 8:08guys. So adorable.
- 8:12But they're hoping that he makes a full recovery.
- 8:16He's obviously still alive. He's they had a video of him
- 8:21like running around and stuff, it's just Adorable.
- 8:26But like, As always, I was like okay we need something cute
- 8:32today and I was like hey how about this?
- 8:38This is something that is crime related because someone tried to
- 8:41kill some body or something. Yeah and it was a cute, it was
- 8:49really was, but he's alive and still adorable.
- 8:54So if there you have it, Well, at least he's okay, yeah,
- 9:17yeah. Well.
- 9:23Last week, we talked about Cliff Clifford, Olson, Juniors, the
- 9:28first half of his life will say up until about 40 years old and
- 9:32we kind of left off on the place that Cliff had gotten himself in
- 9:35trouble with attacking a sex worker and pretty brutally,
- 9:44harming her. And he's been a couple weeks in
- 9:47prison, they did not check his record and therefore he Out.
- 9:57I also mentioned that Clifford went back home and discovered
- 10:02that his girlfriend Joan Was Pregnant.
- 10:06And So, while Joan had initially been mad at him at this point,
- 10:10she was just worried and now he was back so so happy Yay.
- 10:20And you would think like, no, I have all these important things
- 10:23to worry about, but Clifford's, like I'm going to go out to
- 10:27celebrate and just like the night that he found the
- 10:30prostitute, he got drunk, he took a bunch of pills and he
- 10:35began to think about those darker things and we mentioned
- 10:41last week for anybody who didn't listen, you should go back and
- 10:43listen because there's a lot of context to who this guy is, but
- 10:49He? His basis for.
- 10:55Sex was linked to violence. Which is a really bad
- 10:59combination. And even though he had found, I
- 11:05wouldn't call it love. But he found something with
- 11:07Joan. That was gentler and Kinder, and
- 11:11he did like it. He just can't shake the fact
- 11:13that he he likes the violence with sex, and he wants to
- 11:19indulge in it. And so on November 17th, 1980,
- 11:24he found Christine Weller. She was 12 years old and she was
- 11:29kidnapped from Surrey British Columbia.
- 11:32Christine lived with her unemployed parents, and it was a
- 11:36pretty dismal experience for her.
- 11:39She kind of escaped the depressing nature of her
- 11:42household by going to the local mall.
- 11:46And she pretty much spent the entire day there with her
- 11:48classmates. She couldn't afford to buy
- 11:53anything but it was just nice to be around friends and even after
- 11:58her friends, all went home because they, you know, normal
- 12:01rules for kids who have parents who are keeping watch on them.
- 12:04Is you get your butt home before nightfall?
- 12:08Those are my rules. When I was a little kid when my
- 12:11grandmother, when the street lights come on, you better make
- 12:15your way back to the house. Great, but Christine and want to
- 12:18go home, because she didn't want to walk into a house where her
- 12:20parents were. That fighting about the fact
- 12:23that they don't have any money and, you know, you need to get a
- 12:26job and yada yada yada. So she stayed as long as she
- 12:29could until pretty much the place closed and so she started
- 12:33making her way home. Just walking down the street and
- 12:36that's what she meant Clifford. We don't exactly know what he
- 12:39said to her. but it had to have been pretty convincing because
- 12:45Christine wasn't she wasn't a naive kid.
- 12:51She was from a referee part of town and she definitely would
- 12:54have been wise to how older men kind of hit on young girls.
- 13:02I definitely think that she turned down his offer to drive
- 13:05her home because she had a bicycle and it couldn't fit into
- 13:08his truck, which is more than likely when he threatened her
- 13:11with a knife and threw her bike into the bushes, which were
- 13:15recovered on the side of the road later.
- 13:17We know that she was threatened with a knife because he cut her.
- 13:23Not deep enough to kill her. But it was enough to let her
- 13:28know that he would and Clifford took her to the favor.
- 13:33Raise your Fraser River? Dykes in Richmond?
- 13:37Because there weren't a lot of people there but just because
- 13:39it's so cold at this point in Canada, and we know that he
- 13:45threw her into the mud and we know that he attempted to rape
- 13:49her, but they were never able to find any forensic evidence to
- 13:52show that she was assaulted. And that makes Sense.
- 13:57Because there's a certain level of Overkill with Christine's
- 14:01Murder. She was stabbed in her heart
- 14:07twice, and in her liver four times, and for people who aren't
- 14:15well versed in forensics, it's not exactly easy to stab someone
- 14:19in the heart. There's a lot of bones in the
- 14:22way of that. Right?
- 14:24Which would mean that he either. I broke. / ribs that were in
- 14:30front of her heart. Like this was, this was
- 14:33aggression and it was violence and it was because he couldn't
- 14:37perform, which is really common in these kinds of crimes were
- 14:41talking about sexual sadism. We don't spend too much time
- 14:45talking about these kind of killers because they're real
- 14:48rough, right? Christine's parents didn't
- 14:54notice that she was gone right away.
- 15:00But after a couple days, they filed a police report and the
- 15:03police wrote her off as a Teenage runaway because she was
- 15:06from a rough part of town with crappy broke, poor parents, and
- 15:11then on Christmas morning. In 1980.
- 15:13A man walking his dog along the Fraser River found.
- 15:17Her corpse. Now, the police jump into action
- 15:23and they pull up the list of every known sexual convict in
- 15:28Richmond and they bring in all these people and Clifford
- 15:33doesn't come up on any of those lists.
- 15:35Yeah, I like how you said convict.
- 15:37Ah, yes, yes. Because you can't just he wasn't
- 15:41convicted. In fact, they bring Clifford in.
- 15:49As an informant and they're like, listen, we heard from
- 15:55other police that you new things.
- 15:58So, you know, let us know if you hear something, he's like, you
- 16:01know, I'll keep my ear to the street.
- 16:05Now Clifford decides. So essentially Clifford and
- 16:08Joanne are like let's do this. Let's get married and they're
- 16:13trying to set a date for the spring and she's pregnant.
- 16:17It's all very bustling time and clever decides that he's going
- 16:20to settle down before. He's going to settle down
- 16:23though. He needs to head out and see the
- 16:25rest of the world. And so, he starts driving
- 16:28through a bunch of old places. He heads up to British Columbia
- 16:34to See BCP because the president was officially shut down all the
- 16:39way and had become a strange sort of tourist attraction.
- 16:42At this point, he actually buys a ticket and walks through the
- 16:47prison as a tourist. And while he's there, one of the
- 16:53old guards from the prison is there as a tour guide.
- 16:56No. Does he recognize the two of
- 16:58them passed by each other? Easily, a dozen times throughout
- 17:01the tour and not make the connection until Clifford is
- 17:05standing next to one of his old cells and the guard looks at him
- 17:10and makes a phone call to some of his friends who are still
- 17:13working as officers. And they're like, he's wanted,
- 17:21he's at Large. Remember Clifford escaped.
- 17:26Mmm and was never caught right by the time that Clifford leaves
- 17:31the prison done with his tour, the police are waiting for him
- 17:34outside, they add a month on to his most recent sentence and he
- 17:38is sent to the mat ski institution in Abbotsford as far
- 17:43as Joe Knows. He is having this weird sort of
- 17:47solo bachelor party, and there's still a couple months before the
- 17:51wedding. So Clifford's, like I'm not
- 17:54telling her nothing. Hmm.
- 17:57All I have to do is get out in time for the wedding, Mary Joan.
- 18:03And we're fine this time, he's in prison, he's got new interest
- 18:07in gangs, he's not trying to make any new friends.
- 18:10He just wants to keep his head down, do his time, get out on
- 18:13parole, and that's exactly what happens.
- 18:17He drives back to Joan. And she's like, did you enjoy
- 18:19your cross-country trip? And he's like, yep, Clifford has
- 18:27themselves, the house, Jones house and relocate.
- 18:31Mainly We because of the rumors about the attack on The
- 18:35Prostitute, he and what Joan finding out.
- 18:38So they say he finds a new job and he gets a new house in the
- 18:41city of Coquitlam. He gets a job for the
- 18:44superintendent in town for an atonement apartment.
- 18:46Block, the same place that he runs the place.
- 18:50They start house hunting after that like apartment find because
- 18:53they're like, well once we have the baby we're going to need a
- 18:57bigger place. But for now this is enough.
- 19:02And Steven Olson would arrive shortly after their move
- 19:05Clifford, is happy as a wife, a child, a job.
- 19:10No outstanding warrants for his arrest.
- 19:11Any more he starts going to church every Sunday.
- 19:17Joan is really happy. They get to learn the Bible, he
- 19:20can quote it at this point, but while they're playing the
- 19:24wedding, the urges begin again and Clifford fixates on building
- 19:30this Persona in his new town. He's now the sweet older man
- 19:35who's kind to all the kids in the neighborhood and it doesn't
- 19:38seem odd at first, but he's always talking all the little
- 19:40girls in the neighborhood and complimenting them and giving
- 19:43them little gifts, it doesn't seem strange because He did he
- 19:48did for all the kids in the community, he made sure to never
- 19:51show anybody too much, personal attention, but it's one of those
- 19:55things that people should have been afraid of.
- 19:58I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if there is an
- 20:00adult who is spending a lot of time with your child and giving
- 20:04them presents and things. I'm not going to say you
- 20:07shouldn't necessarily be worried but you should be watchful.
- 20:11Yeah. Keep an eye out.
- 20:14Yeah, just to make sure that it stays a lovely kid, grown-up
- 20:20relationship, and nothing more. So, here's the thing, though
- 20:23Clifford just like plenty of the other serial killers.
- 20:28We've talked about, can only keep up this facade for so long
- 20:32before he goes back to this need for violence.
- 20:35There was a point where he tried to introduce like slightly more
- 20:41aggressive sex to Joan, but she got more pregnant and he was
- 20:46worried that he couldn't do what he really wanted, so he stopped
- 20:49doing that. So I think that's kind of why
- 20:51there's a delay here between the killing in November.
- 20:56And then April, I think this partially because he got that
- 21:01initial satisfaction from killing Christine Weller.
- 21:04But also, Also, because he did kind of sort of coerce Joan into
- 21:09something strangely, like violent, but not super violent,
- 21:15but either way, it wasn't really enough to kind of say this.
- 21:18This growing her inside of him. And so uncovers mine.
- 21:23He's just like, listen, I have to do these things.
- 21:28And then I'm going to spend the rest of my days doing good
- 21:31things for Joan, and for Steven, who isn't born yet.
- 21:34But I'll let you know when that happens because there's is very
- 21:38clear lines as to when he does certain things, one is ha.
- 21:42Wow but uh either way that it only lasted him until April 5
- 21:48months and then he just had to do something and so he had spent
- 21:52the previous month's kind of prospecting and looking for a
- 21:56kid in his neighborhood who would be the perfect victim.
- 21:58And her name was Colleen, Marian diagonal.
- 22:02She was 13 years old. And when she wasn't at school,
- 22:05she virtually spent all her time alone in her home.
- 22:08Typical latchkey kid. And Colleen had pretty much told
- 22:13him as much. So on April 6th 1981, he offered
- 22:18he sees her and he's like, hey, you know, I'm gonna have a
- 22:22weekend job opening with the apartment complex and you can
- 22:26get some money and you know, baby be out of the house.
- 22:29Get a couple job skills and she's pretty excited.
- 22:33He's like, hey, I'll drive you to the office, we can fill out
- 22:35some paperwork and when she gets in his car, he offers her a
- 22:39drink from a bottle of schnapps, he has in his car.
- 22:44And Colleen took a swig unaware that this entire bottle of
- 22:48schnapps is drugged, we do know that Clifford sexually assaulted
- 22:54her and dragged her into the woods and beat her to death with
- 22:57a hammer. She would not be found until
- 23:01September. Her skull was virtually
- 23:05pulverized. Which again, let the
- 23:08investigators know that her killer had a lot of just pent-up
- 23:13anger. The kind of anger that it
- 23:16doesn't make sense that you would take out on a child.
- 23:22Now when Colleen goes missing the police do their due
- 23:25diligence but just like Christine.
- 23:27They're like, I mean here's this kid who spends all her time in
- 23:29the house, maybe she met somebody maybe she ran away.
- 23:33They went to the superintendent of her apartment building, hey,
- 23:37it's Clifford and he's like, oh yeah, I know her.
- 23:41She's always at her house and he tells her, he tells the police
- 23:45all about her routine and her family life.
- 23:49And while the police are investigating, Colleen's
- 23:51disappearance Clifford kills again this time, April, 22nd
- 23:541981 and he kidnaps Darren Todd Johnson.
- 23:58Rid Darren was 16 years old and he lived in Westminster.
- 24:02He used the same ruse that he used on Colleen.
- 24:05Picking up the teen walking near a mall, offering him a job at a
- 24:09construction site that they picked up a six-pack to
- 24:12celebrate and when Darren wasn't paying attention, he refused the
- 24:15drink. Unfortunately, a perfect victim
- 24:21for Clifford because his family was new to Westminster.
- 24:25And so a lot of people didn't notice him missing Clifford took
- 24:30the unconscious boy to the deroche area where he prepare
- 24:34he'd already previously prepared.
- 24:35A kill site Clifford would admit to the police later that he'd
- 24:39been more violent with Darren because he wanted the boy to
- 24:44wake up and fight him. Darren was found less than two
- 24:51weeks later and he had injuries everywhere.
- 24:54Broken, bones a cracked skull. Stab wounds.
- 25:02Unlike some Killers who are changing there. methodology as a
- 25:08forensic, countermeasure Clifford is doing different
- 25:13things to see how they feel. He's enjoying the different
- 25:21kinds of murder weapons, and the different ways he can hurt.
- 25:24People don't like that. No, we don't like that because
- 25:28not being able to have a solid victimology hurts the
- 25:32investigation and also not being able to have a solid methodology
- 25:39harms. The, I mean, we find these guys
- 25:41based on patterns and he's not operating on a pattern and all
- 25:45his first two victims are. I mean, we got 13, 14 16, I
- 25:52guess. They're all technically
- 25:53adolescence, but that changes. There are much younger victims.
- 25:59Generally, we know that pedophiles have a one
- 26:02particular, they like, either boys or girls, so, it's pretty
- 26:07rare that it gets mixed up, right?
- 26:09So, he's operating completely different from what we know, and
- 26:14in 1981, the The profiles that we use to find these kinds of
- 26:21killers had only been around for about a decade. so, if that So
- 26:29it's very new and not everybody's Usenet.
- 26:37In the interim, the police don't really know what to do there.
- 26:39Like, there's a lot of kids just suddenly go and missing around
- 26:42here, but one stabbed but not assaulted.
- 26:49The teen, boys, a victim of a homosexual.
- 26:52Rape. And you know how we feel about
- 26:53the queers and 80s. They didn't like us.
- 26:58So, the agency today to talk about, right?
- 27:04They didn't even interview Clifford about Darren, because
- 27:08Clifford wasn't a known homosexual. now, the weeks
- 27:15before the wedding which was scheduled to be on, May 15,
- 27:171981, Joe needs Clifford by so he's like, I'm here, I'll do
- 27:22whatever you want and four days after his wedding, however, he
- 27:28abducted assaulted and murdered Sandra wolf Steiner, He picked
- 27:33her up when she was trying to get home because she was going
- 27:37to be late for her curfew and she had been in her boyfriend's
- 27:40house and he had originally agreed to give her a ride home,
- 27:43but when they got into an argument, he told her find her
- 27:46own way home. So, she just started walking
- 27:49Clifford, saw her. And he was just like, you want a
- 27:53ride, she didn't really want to hitchhike.
- 27:56It was just that she was dealing with the stress of the situation
- 27:59of, like, great. I got in a fight with my
- 28:01boyfriend, if I come home. Late.
- 28:03Now, I'm gonna get in a fight with my parents, right?
- 28:07And here's Clifford and he's this old guy with gray hair,
- 28:11just smile. It offering her a ride, back to
- 28:13town. Hey, don't even have to work,
- 28:16too hard to get her to drink anything because she was having
- 28:18an awful friggin day. And so, she willingly took the
- 28:22flask from him this time. He used a chloral hydrate, and
- 28:33then, he took her to the Chilliwack Lake.
- 28:35Dragged her out in the grass. She was out so cold.
- 28:39She didn't wake up during the physical assault or the murder
- 28:44like Not a good drug to use. Hmm.
- 28:52Hydrate. And then I deleted it.
- 28:57It's a sedative that's used to treat short-term insomnia and so
- 29:01he just he gave her too much. She was sleep, sleep sleep.
- 29:05No. This is, we know a lot of these
- 29:08details because later on, he tells the police, everything in
- 29:12excruciating horrific detail, and I just have to tell you that
- 29:16I am giving you the cliff notes version.
- 29:20Well, thank you. Appreciate it so much.
- 29:23It's the worst and well, Alex. But like, later on, I'll talk to
- 29:30you about the day that he gave them this, these these
- 29:34confessions, but Yeah. One Sondra he used a 5-inch iron
- 29:46Spike and smash it into her skull.
- 29:50She didn't die from the first strike and he proceeded to
- 29:59hammer the nail and to other parts of her body and watch as
- 30:05she reacted. And these were obviously, SLI
- 30:09involuntary, you know, spasms right because of pain, but she
- 30:13was not fully aware of what's going on.
- 30:17I mean afterward, he buries her in a shallow grave and he's like
- 30:23bury the body this time. Don't want them to find her like
- 30:27they found Darren. After Sandra's death, he focuses
- 30:31on the birth of his son, Steven and the new baby was a bit of a
- 30:35high for him. He didn't need to kill anybody
- 30:38for a little bit. He went back to being that
- 30:40lovely guy who was super kind to everybody and he obviously
- 30:43thought focusing on a sunless help him but he slipped up.
- 30:47He started showing too much attention to a four-year-old in
- 30:50the apartment complex and she told her parents so the police
- 30:55were called in and Clifford was interrogated.
- 30:59He made them think that this was just a confusion, you know, this
- 31:02is she's confused. The police believed him and so
- 31:07did her parents. And actually people in the
- 31:09community were mad that he'd been accused of impropriety Wow.
- 31:17Yeah, I don't fucking believe the victim.
- 31:20Well, after this brush with the police Clifford was so mad that
- 31:24he went out on June 21st. 1881 to find someone to take that
- 31:28anger out on. So he leaves Coquitlam and he's
- 31:32outside of the city. And he sees a to court.
- 31:35She's 13 years old and she's walking home on North Road.
- 31:38After a babysitting job. He offered her a ride because
- 31:42she looked tired and she didn't really respond to him because
- 31:47again, The 70s were really the era of hitchhiking.
- 31:52She's just like, leave me alone, dude.
- 31:58And so he kind of kept hammering away at her until he brought up
- 32:03the idea that you know he's like, oh well you're leaving a
- 32:07babysitting job, I have an Administration job and that's
- 32:10probably way better than, you know, dealing with people's
- 32:13brats all day long. You can do it on the weekend and
- 32:17you can make more money and he's like, oh, you know, we can do
- 32:21your interview in the car. As I drive you, home Clifford
- 32:26even played in to the role that he was so grateful that he
- 32:29found, you know, such a mature young woman to to do this job.
- 32:33He gave her the flash, she took a swig and just like with all
- 32:36the other children and ended the same way.
- 32:41Ada was killed with multiple Hammer.
- 32:44Blows to her skull at. He also used rope to strangle
- 32:52her with and syringes to try and inject air embolisms into her
- 32:59bloodstream. He told the police that he did
- 33:08all manner of horrible things to her but we don't entirely know
- 33:11what he did because he hid her body very well.
- 33:15He drove out to Weaver Lake and he dug a grave and dropped her
- 33:20and ate. It wasn't found for a very long
- 33:23time. She was one of the bodies that
- 33:25was virtually mummified. On his way back home.
- 33:35Clifford kind of thought about the night and he realized that.
- 33:39Killing even though he was doing more horrible, horrible things
- 33:42was to give him the same kind of satisfaction as use get before.
- 33:46And maybe it's this dress, you know, of having a new baby in
- 33:49the house and he still has to go to work.
- 33:52And you know what? Yeah, I've heard that, you know,
- 33:55having having a kid does like, dampen the murdering, you know
- 34:00what I mean? The murdering sensation.
- 34:03Yeah, the joy, you get from murdering it does.
- 34:05Like, he'll that a lot pun intended.
- 34:08There you go. He's like, what's up?
- 34:11I'm just going to have to do this more often.
- 34:14And, you know, I just more of these little sacrifices to make
- 34:17sure that I can take care of my family, sometime between that
- 34:21crime in June in the and the start of July, he gets in
- 34:24trouble for sexually assaulting. A 16 year old girl, whose name
- 34:27was never released to the public.
- 34:29I'm not sure if this was Clifford's attempt to attack,
- 34:32someone who wasn't drugged, but it didn't go very well because
- 34:35she screamed, she broke free. She ran to the police, the
- 34:38police pulled him out of bed. In the middle of the night,
- 34:40locked him up. He spent all night thinking
- 34:43about how he was going to talk to the police.
- 34:44About this, they shop to interrogate him.
- 34:46The following following morning, they have nothing. he tells the
- 34:50police that he and the teenager had been drinking and he didn't
- 34:54realize she was underage and she had freaked out when things had
- 34:57turned sexual, He walks out of the police station with a court
- 35:03date and left him more than a warning.
- 35:05Wow, Ow, they fucking love him. Now, the next six murders
- 35:10happened in the course of one month.
- 35:12So we have July 2nd, 1981, Simon Parkington 9 abducted raped.
- 35:18And strangled exactly one week after that, Judy kozma who was
- 35:2214 and from New Westminster also strangled and sexually
- 35:26assaulted. She was found near.
- 35:28We were like on July 25th, then we have Raymond King who was 15
- 35:34abducted on the 23rd. Raped and bludgeoned to death of
- 35:39the hammer. Sigrid, I'm mess her name up.
- 35:46She's from Germany and that's kind of almost one of the
- 35:49saddest ones because she's just here on vacation, her name was
- 35:54sick, hren signal during ironed. I swiped this a people's names,
- 36:00right? And she was 18 and she's just a
- 36:03German tourists and she was also raped and bludgeoned to death on
- 36:06the 25th, two days. After that he kidnapped are
- 36:09Elin. Carson 15 and then he killed and
- 36:12kidnapped. Louise Louise Chartrand she was
- 36:1717 year olds years old and that was on July 30th.
- 36:20So I'm kind of going to go through these murders because I
- 36:24also want to explain the movement of the police as
- 36:29they're happening, all right. Now with all of them it's the
- 36:34same thing coerced akin to the truck offer them a drink drug
- 36:37them if it's alcohol soda. Either way it's always laced
- 36:41with something sometimes though it was just drugs.
- 36:47Sometimes he uses his tools, which he kept under the front
- 36:50seat, his little murder box to torture them, other times.
- 36:54He strangled them Simon Parkington was strangled by hand
- 36:58since he was so small, and he was buried in this particular
- 37:02wet soil by the river. Once Simon disappeared, the
- 37:07police determined, these are not Runaways And we have a problem.
- 37:15So, The Press is in, on this at this point and they're like
- 37:19these kids are all being kidnapped and killed in the
- 37:21Lower. Mainland area Canada, has a
- 37:24serial killer, and as soon as they pick up on that, in terms
- 37:28of the media, the media also pinpoint the police.
- 37:32How does it take you six kids missing to realize that this is
- 37:34a problem. And of course the other issue is
- 37:38just as the police are beginning to catch up.
- 37:41He's killing five more at the same time as happens all in the
- 37:44course of one month. When Judy kozma goes missing The
- 37:47newspapers immediately zoom in on her, she's a potential victim
- 37:51and one of Clifford's friends tells the police that he saw a
- 37:54girl who looked like, Judy and Clifford's car.
- 37:57But the police were like, listen, we need you to go on
- 38:00record and he's like, no, no, no.
- 38:03He backs out. He's like, I'm not sure.
- 38:05It was just a girl who kind of looked like the girl in the
- 38:07picture. Judy's family goes public on TV,
- 38:10they request information. Clifford responds by looking up
- 38:17this family's information, calling them, and mocking them,
- 38:21about the death of their child. Come on, he tells Judy's parents
- 38:24that she's dead and that she sobbed and begged him and
- 38:28pleaded with him. In fact, he had recorded her
- 38:33screams and he played them for her parents or at least who he
- 38:36thought was her parents. In fact who he actually called
- 38:39was the cosmos landlord The police put a wiretap on the
- 38:44landlord's phone and side note even though the mom didn't have
- 38:47to hear her childlike screaming, it's the real bad just hearing
- 38:53that. Yeah, that's someone calls your
- 38:55house. But either way, they put a
- 38:59wiretap on the phone, but Clifford never calls that number
- 39:02back. He's not stupid.
- 39:04Now, this is the first time that the police realized that he had
- 39:07recordings of the crimes. And they learn that this serial
- 39:12killers trophies, aren't clothing or items, it's their
- 39:16voices. This is a detail that could be
- 39:21used to find him, but it's real bad.
- 39:26Now, Raymond King is picked up, just like all the other boys
- 39:29with an offer for a job, but Raymond actually fought him back
- 39:33and ran away, and he probably would have gotten away.
- 39:36Except they ended up fighting and Raymond fell down an
- 39:39embankment, where he broke his legs Clifford, then climbed down
- 39:45the embankment and Bash, the boy's head in with a rock.
- 39:50Sacred arm was just naive. She thought that all the people
- 39:55she met in Canada were so kind and nice.
- 39:57And so, when they stranger offered her a ride, she was
- 40:00like, okay, it was after synchron's murder, that the
- 40:04police began to watch Clifford. And they didn't think he was the
- 40:12murderer, but they were like, he's got to know, he's got to
- 40:16know something, he always knows something.
- 40:19Whoo, yah horse so they bring him in for questioning and they
- 40:21asked him over and over again. Are there any new criminals in
- 40:24town? Do you know a lot of these
- 40:27children? How do you know these children
- 40:29Clifford's like? Well how much will you pay me?
- 40:31If I find this out for you, you know, if I go undercover like I
- 40:34used to and the police were like, listen, we've got
- 40:37discretionary funds but you got to give us Gonna go on here and
- 40:41so Clifford and his greed makes a stupid move.
- 40:44He's like, listen, I don't know who did this but I think I know
- 40:48where the bodies might be. And he tells them some of the
- 40:51locations saying that, you know, he Heard it Through the
- 40:54Grapevine, but this does not make any logical sense.
- 40:58Yeah. Okay, first of all, I'm still
- 41:01pissed even though I realized, like I remembered that you told
- 41:05me that I was going to be upset this episode because the fucking
- 41:07police hate him. To tell him.
- 41:11Hey, do you find out how much in, just how this goes down?
- 41:15No, I don't want to know sad. So, here's the thing.
- 41:22The police are like, yeah, yeah. We'll look into that.
- 41:25And they're like, okay, either he's the killer, or he's an
- 41:28accomplice because election sure we'll pay you having no
- 41:33intention to pay him, they put him under 24-hour surveillance.
- 41:38Unfortunately, it wasn't, it didn't get approved fast enough
- 41:42because Terry Lynn Carson got abducted in the same area where
- 41:46he picked up Christine Weller. He actually had seen her a bunch
- 41:49of times as he drove around town.
- 41:51And one day after casing her, he stopped and offered her a ride.
- 41:55Same as before, applies are with drinks.
- 41:57Takes her out to Chilliwack assaults her while she's under
- 42:00the influence and waits until she wakes up then strangles her
- 42:04and stabbed her to death. I believe that Terry's murder
- 42:12was him attempting to relive his first one.
- 42:15He picked her up in the same community and he committed the
- 42:19same crime. He killed her in the same way
- 42:23and this isn't uncommon for serial killers that first kill
- 42:29is like getting high on a drug and just like somebody who
- 42:33abuses drugs, the same amount of drugs, no longer are effective
- 42:38with killing Can't never recapture that feeling.
- 42:42So they go into a frenzy, trying to get the adrenaline rush from
- 42:45before Clifford, is in the middle of a frenzy, as far as
- 42:49like, how the FBI defines this, but unlike say, a serial killer
- 42:52at Kemper, he's not self-aware enough to understand the
- 42:57compulsion and just three days after killing Terry.
- 43:00He's back on the street hunting for another victim, and that was
- 43:04Louis, chartres, and on July 30th.
- 43:07Louise was the oldest victim at 17 years old and she was on her
- 43:10way to work in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.
- 43:14He offered her a ride. To take her the rest of the way
- 43:18and Louise wasn't unaware of the risks.
- 43:20She more than likely had seen the new stories but Clifford
- 43:22knew how to turn on the charm when he needed it.
- 43:25And so she accepted the ride but she very quickly realized they
- 43:29were driving away from her job pretty quickly.
- 43:32She refused his offer to drink anything and she even tried to
- 43:35talk her way out of the Our, when she went to try and open
- 43:39the door, he hit her in the head with a hammer and knocked her
- 43:42out. He took her up to Whistler
- 43:44Mountain and pretty much did anything possible that he could
- 43:48to try and give himself some semblance of satisfaction, but
- 43:52it just wasn't doing anything. And virtually.
- 43:56As soon as he buried Louise, he went back out on the road,
- 44:00looking for another victim that night.
- 44:03Now, unbeknownst to clever at the police assemble a quiet
- 44:06time. Task force very quietly who are
- 44:09following him all day long. The even watch him.
- 44:13Commit other crimes like burglary, and they're like oh so
- 44:18that explains why he has so much money because he's working his
- 44:21regular job and also burglarizing like he must have
- 44:25been going out virtually every night.
- 44:27And when he wasn't trying to like find victims, he's just
- 44:30stealing stuff. But they're like listen we don't
- 44:35care if he burglarized has a home we'll deal with that later.
- 44:39Plus he's already been to prison 20 times for burglary and they
- 44:44watched him go and buy drugs. Do drugs they took notes about
- 44:50how he was living like a complete double life and it was
- 44:53something that his wife didn't know about.
- 44:56But I'm just gonna, this isn't a situation like Judith with the
- 45:01Green River Killer. I think Joan just like didn't
- 45:06want to see anything because Clifford is not doing a good
- 45:11job. Like at hiding things like she's
- 45:16like he's home. He's look at that.
- 45:19He's feeding the baby. Wonderful good.
- 45:22Good. Good.
- 45:23Almost husband. good husband, but like outside of that, he
- 45:30seems erratic randomly getting wasted every night like And they
- 45:39also knows that like he would just take off and drive four
- 45:43hours in a random Direction. And then you would stop in a new
- 45:46city and he would talk to all these different people and they
- 45:50just kind of watch this go on for about two weeks.
- 45:55This was an exceptionally expensive surveillance up, he is
- 45:58costing them so much money in gas and this is when gas was
- 46:02like a dollar 25. Oh wow.
- 46:06So they're like what is he going to do something?
- 46:10They have to wait too long August 12th.
- 46:13He pretty much spent hours driving back and forth over
- 46:18Vancouver Island until he sees two young girls hitchhiking and
- 46:23they were on a Road. Near Port Alberni, and the
- 46:26police are sitting there distance and they can see
- 46:29virtually everything. It's nighttime, he has the light
- 46:31on the Jeep and the girls are kind of talking to him through
- 46:34the window. and they're kind of going back and forth and these
- 46:37particular officers are struggling because they're like
- 46:45If we pick the wrong time, we lose the opportunity to get him.
- 46:50But what if he picks these girls up and we lose them?
- 46:55And he kills both of them. so they're pretty much sitting
- 46:59there they're like but if we you know if we pick them up too
- 47:02early well given to girls a ride home isn't illegal You know?
- 47:07And so they're kind of argue against this is going on.
- 47:10And this goes on for like another 20, 30 minutes is the
- 47:12girls are kind of I guess bartering with him too.
- 47:16And the two girls walk around and climb into the truck.
- 47:19One in the passenger seat and one in the local backseat.
- 47:24And the officers are like, you know what, screw it and they
- 47:27turn on the siren and pull him over, pull the girls out of the
- 47:30truck and then they kind of as they have him like cuffed in the
- 47:36backseat of their car like okay crap.
- 47:39We didn't we can't catch him in the ACT but what do we do?
- 47:44So they put them in a Cell in Burnaby and they put them in on
- 47:49burglary charges because they're like we saw him burglarize like
- 47:53five houses. So we Got him on that, and with
- 47:56his extensively long history of Escape attempts, no bail, right?
- 48:02And so then the higher ranking officers show up and they're
- 48:06like, wow, Clifford back at it again.
- 48:12Yeah, exactly. Normally when Clifford would get
- 48:16caught like, for the burgers or stuff, he would just kind of
- 48:19give up and be like, yeah, whatever I did it.
- 48:22And so they've kind of walked into the room with him and they
- 48:25were like So so what happened here?
- 48:29And normally Clifford was Booth, the police.
- 48:32He kind of played this like me Kroll with them but the the
- 48:35Clifford they met that day was a different man.
- 48:37This was not fearful Clifford as soon as these officers walk in,
- 48:42he waits for them to all come in and he goes.
- 48:45I'll let you know where the rest of the bodies are.
- 48:48He's like, I need you to pay me money that I can put into a
- 48:51trust for my son and my wife, and the police are kind of like
- 48:56what? Yeah.
- 48:57What the fuck and who's walking? They're like, well Just say, we
- 49:02believe you how much money do you think each of the bodies are
- 49:06worth? And he goes ten thousand dollars
- 49:08per child know immediately. They think it's a scam, they're
- 49:14like, okay, we don't have the right guy.
- 49:17These younger officers, got it wrong, he's just messing with
- 49:20us, you know. But they keep them, they hold
- 49:26them and they go. Well, we've got his car in
- 49:30impound because that's normally what happens when you get
- 49:32arrested. And so they decide not to
- 49:35respond to Clifford's offer, but they do decide to go and give
- 49:38his truck a look over. And that's when they find his
- 49:41little box of Tricks, under the front seat, the syringes the
- 49:44drugs, the Hammer of the spikes, everything cleaned particular
- 49:47asleep, but definitely very, very suspicious, and they just
- 49:51can't find anything. There's no gas station ticket,
- 49:54that shows him in the city where the kids were picked up or the
- 49:57Went missing. I mean they pull this truck
- 50:00apart and then they find something wedged into the
- 50:05passenger seat so far, back that it's touching the mechanism that
- 50:11allows the seat to recline and it's a school notebook.
- 50:16What? The name, Judy kozma written on
- 50:19it in a young girl's handwriting.
- 50:24They actually stopped everything.
- 50:26No interrogation, no nothing. We're just like, okay, so we
- 50:31know that Judy was in his truck. They're like, he's gonna agree
- 50:39and it meant that he did it. We just have to give him a
- 50:42hundred thousand dollars. They go back to the
- 50:46interrogation. They give him cigars food
- 50:49anything to try and get them talking, but he's not giving
- 50:52anything. And the only piece of evidence
- 50:55they have is this notebook and it's not enough, but still they
- 50:59head over to the prosecutors and they bring up all the
- 51:01circumstantial evidence. And on August 25th, he's charged
- 51:04with the murder of Jews. Judy kozma.
- 51:08There's still this weird question in the air though,
- 51:09about whether they should accept this weird deal.
- 51:12At this point, the police only have four bodies and 11 total
- 51:17missing children, they rip apart his house.
- 51:20They find nothing, no tapes, no items, no nothing, they
- 51:26investigate Joan, they find nothing.
- 51:28And then Man by the name of Corporal Fred mail.
- 51:34Goes and pulls Clifford out of his cell for interrogation and
- 51:38when Clifford meets Corporal male he's like okay, this is the
- 51:41guy, this is the guy that gets stuff done.
- 51:44And so Clifford just says 11 bodies for a hundred thousand
- 51:47dollars and male repeats it back to him like for a hundred
- 51:52thousand dollars in cash. You want to provide us with the
- 51:55bodies of the missing kids and Clifford's like not just the
- 51:58bodies. I'll give you a signed statement
- 52:01on each of them and evidence. I'll sign off on everyone.
- 52:08So Corporal males like listen, We can't just give you all this
- 52:13money based on your say, we would need some kind of
- 52:16assurance that you're on the level and Clifford's.
- 52:19Like, you know, likewise I want to make sure that Joan gets the
- 52:22money before we go any further and that you all aren't trying
- 52:25to trick me. So he's like, how about this?
- 52:28I'll give you a freebie. I'll tell you where this child
- 52:31is and give you the statement, you get the ten thousand dollars
- 52:35in cash. And when we go to the scene, you
- 52:38call your men and hand that money.
- 52:40Over to my Joan and I'll call Joan to make sure she got it and
- 52:44then we can get on with the rest of that.
- 52:47This conversation, definitely settles it for the rest of the
- 52:50police that they have the right guy.
- 52:53But Corporal mail however isn't fully ready to commit.
- 52:56So Corporal males like what about your lawyer?
- 53:00Like your lawyer is not going to just sit back and let you do
- 53:03this and Clifford lasted him. This is all being recorded and
- 53:07Clifford's. Like this is my lawyer, he works
- 53:09for me. He does what I tell him to do
- 53:12and then he asks, he's like, so let's write a contract and so
- 53:15here's what it says this is. Of an agreement between RCMP,
- 53:20that's the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Clifford
- 53:23Robert Olson. This is this will be paid to
- 53:28assist paid by the RCMP to mrs. Jones, I'll send for the
- 53:32following information ten thousand dollars cash for each
- 53:35body of a missing person up to seven bodies.
- 53:38Thirty thousand dollars for information of four bodies which
- 53:41have already been recovered, which relate to the above seven.
- 53:44Other people missing the agreement should be undertaken
- 53:47and shall be binding and law as not to disclose this
- 53:49information. In this agreement to the
- 53:51Canadian, press the following missing persons are covered in
- 53:54the city are covered in, disagreement Judy kozma, Darren
- 53:58Todd, John's Rod, Raymond King, Simon.
- 54:00Partington 8 quart Louis chartres and Christine Weller.
- 54:03Terry Len, Carson Colleen marrying diagonal, sick.
- 54:07Renard and one identify unidentified female ten thousand
- 54:12dollars will be paid to miss Alston up to a total of the
- 54:15recovery of seven bodies Clifford.
- 54:17Science it asked us, Corporal mail, but Corporal mail is like
- 54:20listen, this has to be approved by somebody way higher up than
- 54:24me. He's like I don't have
- 54:26permission to To give a hundred thousand dollars to you.
- 54:29And after the interviews over Clifford calls, Joan and he's
- 54:32like, listen, you're going to be rich, you're going to live in
- 54:35the lap of luxury for the rest of your life.
- 54:39Thanks to the deal that I just made and Jones.
- 54:42Like what are you talking about? The police were just here.
- 54:45They tore up the house. They keep asking me.
- 54:48All these are terrible questions about you and he's just like
- 54:54This phone call is being recorded, but you're going to
- 54:57get a visit from my lawyer, who's going to lay things out
- 55:00for you? Don't talk about anything over
- 55:02the phone but you and Stephen are going to be well taken care
- 55:06of. So, Corporal male takes this
- 55:08paper, the commanding officers, his commanding officers and
- 55:12they're like, we don't have the ability to give him this.
- 55:15And so, those guys take it to their superiors, who look at it
- 55:19and are like, we don't have the ability to approve this.
- 55:24And it goes all the way up to the attorney general Allen
- 55:28Williams. The Attorney General is
- 55:30responsible for pretty much all of the criminal justice
- 55:32proceedings that happen in Canada and attorney, general
- 55:37Williams has a lot to think about.
- 55:40He's like, listen, plea, Bargains and things of that
- 55:42nature aren't uncommon in our justice system.
- 55:45And there's background deals and backroom deals.
- 55:51He looks over Olsen's history and he's Like the police have
- 55:55paid him. A fair amount of money over the
- 55:57years to be an informant. Is this any different the
- 56:02problem and what really got stuck for him as that he doesn't
- 56:07want to be the one to give a criminal money.
- 56:12For his crime. He also doesn't want to set a
- 56:15precedent that a criminal. Could turn themselves in for
- 56:18money because that's going to cause a huge massive too.
- 56:22He knows the only way that he thinks he can even get close to
- 56:26having this greenlit, is that there is absolutely no way
- 56:30Clifford Olson, Junior can ever leave prison ever again.
- 56:35And that would mean, because if he was allowed to leave again,
- 56:38that's the opportunity to kill now, attorney general Williams,
- 56:42look over all the evidence and he agrees with the lower
- 56:46prosecutors, there's no way. We're going to get a conviction
- 56:49with only circumstantial evidence.
- 56:52Even if they take the freebie and let the rest of the crime
- 56:54stand on solved, the citizens of Canada aren't going to be happy
- 56:58about that either. Even with the signed confession
- 57:02because there's still seven, missing or 60 B 6 more missing
- 57:05people. And he's like, all right, well
- 57:09Olsen said, he'll never tell anyone and if we can keep the
- 57:13police from leaking, this then, maybe it'll be okay.
- 57:17He sits on it for a little bit but ultimately he does sign the
- 57:19deal but he doesn't like it and he likes it even less when they
- 57:24bring Clifford into his office a couple days later.
- 57:28Clifford's wearing this snazzy suit and his lawyers were there.
- 57:32Jonas, there, she's in a complete zombified State like
- 57:36Clifford's making jokes laughing, a couple times the
- 57:41Olson. Lawyers actually ask Joan, does
- 57:44your husband know what he's doing?
- 57:46And It's like listen, don't worry about it.
- 57:48I know they're going to say horrible things.
- 57:50I did it wasn't me. Who did that?
- 57:53I was drunk and high when those things happen.
- 57:56Well, sure it was you which doesn't really change the
- 57:59situation for Joan because the man that she loves is about to
- 58:03admit to the world that he has raped and murdered 11 children.
- 58:08And in fact, in the middle of the office, she just breaks
- 58:10down. Then Clifford starts telling
- 58:14people how he wants the money disbursed.
- 58:16How much is going to go to the lawyer for their fees, how much
- 58:18he's gonna send to his parents. The rest was going to be put in
- 58:21a trust that junk control for the baby and mind you.
- 58:25He asked for this in cash. So they actually have a hundred
- 58:28thousand dollars in cash. Oh my God, suitcases and stuff
- 58:33to their friend, the Attorney General.
- 58:37And he asks his lawyer. Hey, do you think we can make
- 58:40any more money? If I wrote a book he's like I'll
- 58:44call it kiss daddy. Goodbye.
- 58:46What the fuck? I'm sorry.
- 58:48I'm sorry. I told you, this is the most
- 58:52Gall I think I've ever seen but it's just were not even at the
- 58:56worst Parts yet my God, he offers to tell the lawyer
- 59:00everything and the lawyer is actually like kind of grossed
- 59:04out. And he does want to do any more
- 59:08work for Clifford Olson after this Attorney.
- 59:13General William said that the whole scene made him sick and
- 59:16that he had made a deal with Satan himself.
- 59:19But after that, his day doesn't get much better.
- 59:20Because now they dress him up as a police officer in a disguise
- 59:24and then they have to drive him around British Columbia with
- 59:27Corporal mail and for the detectives in the first car
- 59:31Clifford is having The Best Time Ever.
- 59:34He's so excited. The center of attention and he
- 59:37is reviling and showing off his handiwork and this is when he
- 59:41explains everything he every single detail.
- 59:44And those five men in the car with him have to sit with him as
- 59:48they are driving hours across Canada, back and forth to get
- 59:52all these different bodies and mind you behind them.
- 59:55Are other police cars Corners Vans to to put the remains in to
- 1:00:03take them back. They did record.
- 1:00:05Or doll 11 confessions that day and he's talking about like the
- 1:00:09death rattles and the smells all the nasty stuff.
- 1:00:16But ultimately, everybody is exhumed and the sites to get are
- 1:00:20secured. They transfer the money to
- 1:00:24Joanne and she puts it in her bank account.
- 1:00:29And ultimately the police have to admit in the end that without
- 1:00:32Clifford's confession, it's highly unlikely.
- 1:00:34They would have found these bodies.
- 1:00:36Many of them were seriously decayed already because of where
- 1:00:40they were buried, or where they were Stewart, bodies and water
- 1:00:43bloat, which totally ruins decomposition.
- 1:00:48Some of the soil, where some of the bodies were buried mummified
- 1:00:52The Remains because of the Pete that was in the soil, some of
- 1:00:57the rectums could only. Identified through dental
- 1:01:00records because they had been so severely like their skulls were
- 1:01:03shattered. All of them had to be identified
- 1:01:06by forensic pathologists. And when the, when the police
- 1:01:14realized that the victim who was unknown to them, was the German
- 1:01:18tourists. They were like, crap.
- 1:01:20We didn't even know she was gone because we didn't even know she
- 1:01:22was here. Wow, we never would have found
- 1:01:26her like, as far as her family was concerned Sigmund.
- 1:01:29Just sicker and just hadn't. Come back from her trip yet.
- 1:01:33And even with her physical body and the description of what she
- 1:01:36looked like before she died. It's still took the police
- 1:01:39months to get her official records from Germany, so they
- 1:01:41could file her death properly and then send her remains back
- 1:01:45to her family in Germany. This is a very long day and the
- 1:01:51police officers who have to sit with him all day are not happy
- 1:01:54because as part of his deal, he only wants to eat at
- 1:01:58steakhouses. So that's three medians
- 1:02:03McDonald's. Three Mia.
- 1:02:06That's still too good for him three meals.
- 1:02:08I know it really is so he's eating baked potatoes and
- 1:02:10T-bone, steaks and drinking soda and happily chatting with the
- 1:02:14waitress. And I can just imagine these
- 1:02:16five officers just unhappy to be here.
- 1:02:21In the meantime, Joan is devastated.
- 1:02:23All of this goes on without the media knowing anything.
- 1:02:27Corporal male called in all the favors that He had the Attorney
- 1:02:31General also called in all the favors and they told the media
- 1:02:36you cannot report on this. Because of the citizens of
- 1:02:41Canada know that we just paid a serial killer 100 Grand.
- 1:02:45There's going to be hell to pay. So, a couple of days later, he
- 1:02:51asks for the Attorney General Clifford asks and so the
- 1:02:56Attorney General shows up and it's just like, I thought our
- 1:02:58business here was done and Clifford says, well listen, I
- 1:03:02gave you the first one for free and I gave you the the next set
- 1:03:06for 100,000. What if I told you there were
- 1:03:08another 20 bodies and I'll pay you, 5,000 dollars a piece for
- 1:03:11those Purple mail is here when this is going on.
- 1:03:17He's like, I don't know if this is true or not.
- 1:03:22But they write it down and they're like, you know what,
- 1:03:24just like last time we got to talk to our superiors, got to do
- 1:03:29and here's a problem. They thought this investigation
- 1:03:32was over. Nope.
- 1:03:33Now it's not. And the problem is there are a
- 1:03:37butt ton of people missing in North America.
- 1:03:39North America people travel and it Canada Canadians travel into
- 1:03:42America and it's in Turley possible that he could have
- 1:03:46picked up any number of hitchhikers and killed them.
- 1:03:48Even just accounting for the people who are only missing in
- 1:03:51British Columbia, we're still talking potentially a thousand
- 1:03:53people and any one of them could have been hits.
- 1:03:56I mean, at one point, Canada did have a highway serial killer and
- 1:04:00right now, people believe that there is another Highway serial
- 1:04:04killer who is Indigenous women that's in the 2020s.
- 1:04:10So, the police are like, all right, we're gonna look through
- 1:04:13every single unsolved murder and see if there's any potential.
- 1:04:17Like any validity that there could be another 20, right?
- 1:04:23So they try and narrow it down. To his behavioral patterns
- 1:04:28because they figured they'd find the method in the madness.
- 1:04:32Like, even though there was no pattern, the lack of a pattern
- 1:04:38is a pattern makes one Even when they scale it down to the time
- 1:04:47period when he was. So at first, they just get in
- 1:04:51the area where he was living and they kind of triangulate his
- 1:04:54movements and where he was driving.
- 1:04:56They get 17 young women and six girls.
- 1:05:01And then they scale it down to the time, between November, 17th
- 1:05:05and July 1981, and they have 20 potential victims.
- 1:05:13So Corporal mail comes back to the prison and he's like, all
- 1:05:16right, let's talk about this. And this time Clifford's kind of
- 1:05:19mad he's had to wait. Now he's just like you know what
- 1:05:22I changed my mind, it's back up to ten thousand dollars a body
- 1:05:25and the very quickly kind of catches himself and he's like,
- 1:05:27you know what? No worries.
- 1:05:29The bodies will still be there when you come back around.
- 1:05:33He actually quote he says you always know where to find me.
- 1:05:38Meaning jail. Now, pending the trial he gets
- 1:05:44put in jail thing is, he can't blend in, everyone knows why
- 1:05:49He's there and child. Predators aren't exactly true.
- 1:05:52Very nice in any prison. The prisoners this time through
- 1:05:55lit cigarettes at him. They throw trash into his cell
- 1:05:58when he's sleeping, they knock him around, knock him over push
- 1:06:02him, finally gets to a point where they have to put him in
- 1:06:06solitary all, but two hours a day, he's allowed to exercise
- 1:06:10for one hour when nobody else is in the yard and It the rest of
- 1:06:14this time that he's by himself. He's calling up reporters and
- 1:06:20complaining about the conditions in the prison.
- 1:06:22He says, I'm living like a dog and when they return my suit
- 1:06:26that I wore, when they brought me into custody, someone took
- 1:06:30off all the buttons and wrote Baby fucker on it.
- 1:06:33So you know, just to remind them why it was there.
- 1:06:37Probably a guard, probably a garden, definitely guard.
- 1:06:41So of course, like he gives all the local newspapers all the
- 1:06:47details and he's like, you know, and he does this because he's
- 1:06:55good at he wants to threaten The attorney general that like, you
- 1:07:00know, I'm going to tell them what happened and you're going
- 1:07:03to get in trouble if you don't give me another hundred grand.
- 1:07:08But what he doesn't know is that the Press already know and
- 1:07:11they've already been paid off, which is why they haven't been
- 1:07:13writing about it already. And pretty much the train
- 1:07:17General tells them. Listen, if you talk about this
- 1:07:20at all, I'm going to hold you in contempt of court.
- 1:07:22This is prejudicial knowledge and essentially they're worried
- 1:07:26that if this goes to trial. And that information is in the
- 1:07:30papers, it will skew the jury. It'll cause a mistrial, the date
- 1:07:34for the first trial is set, but they actually don't end up
- 1:07:37having to have a jury. He just straight up his leg and
- 1:07:40I need a jury. I did it.
- 1:07:43He even cried while he confessed to all of the murders.
- 1:07:49After the cork, cork read that all the charges, he says, guilty
- 1:07:53just as Harry. McKay was, the presiding judge.
- 1:07:55You had a lot to say about Clifford Olson, Junior,
- 1:07:58specifically. He said no punishment that any
- 1:08:01civilized country could impose would be adequate for the
- 1:08:03severity of your crimes. You should never be granted
- 1:08:06parole for the remainder of your days.
- 1:08:07It would be foolhardy to let you at large.
- 1:08:10And he was sent to Kingston Penitentiary where he was
- 1:08:13suspend the rest of his natural life.
- 1:08:15And, for a moment, it seemed like the media circus was over.
- 1:08:20and then one, Newspaper published the deal because
- 1:08:26they're like, there's no trial. The trials, there's no content
- 1:08:32of Courtney Moore. The public is outraged, the
- 1:08:37families are outraged. There's an immediate campaign to
- 1:08:40try and force them to return the money to Canada or forbid to get
- 1:08:44for it to be given to the families of victims.
- 1:08:47But John's like, I'm not giving this back attorney, general
- 1:08:51Williams is Public. Enemy Number One or Public
- 1:08:54Enemy. Number Two Clifford is number
- 1:08:56one. And he tells like, Williams
- 1:08:59tells the Press, like, this was a unique case, I don't think
- 1:09:02anything, like this will happen. Again, the decision was not easy
- 1:09:04for me to make. His crimes are so horrible, they
- 1:09:08shouldn't be revealed. I don't want to dwell on the
- 1:09:11details. Robert Chance, who was one of
- 1:09:15Clifford's attorneys even came out saying that this was
- 1:09:18politically insane members of parliament, contemned attorney
- 1:09:22general Williams and pretty much told him your career is over,
- 1:09:26from that point on the police, tried to seize the money from
- 1:09:28Joan But discovered it was already gone.
- 1:09:32Damn, she spent all of it or she moved it.
- 1:09:36There's a public inquiry into what happened.
- 1:09:39They're trying to find any level of wrongdoing on the side of the
- 1:09:43police, the justice department, the corner.
- 1:09:45They look at everybody, they investigate everyone then of
- 1:09:50course it becomes a discussion of why didn't you guys pursue
- 1:09:52him earlier? What the hell were you doing?
- 1:09:55When he raped The Prostitute? The first murder happened around
- 1:09:58the same time. Jonah's getting harassed by the
- 1:10:02Press because she accepted the money and one paper, she just
- 1:10:05goes, I'm a good person. I can look myself in the eye in
- 1:10:08the mirror and not feel ashamed. And I kind of understand because
- 1:10:12she was a victim to in some ways.
- 1:10:14This one all the way up to the Supreme Court and the Supreme
- 1:10:16Court could not take the money from her.
- 1:10:19The contract was airtight just because it's immoral, doesn't
- 1:10:22make it illegal, of course, Clifford is Having a great time.
- 1:10:30He is sending little bits that he wrote himself to the local
- 1:10:33papers. One of the guards was quoted in
- 1:10:36a newspaper saying they said that they heard him.
- 1:10:39Say, if I gave a damn about these families, I wouldn't have
- 1:10:42killed her kids. Eventually the prison cuts off.
- 1:10:50Clifford's communication, he's not allowed to talk to anybody,
- 1:10:52not even his family, but he still manages to pass off his
- 1:10:56stories and writings to other inmates who Off to the press, it
- 1:10:59got to the point where some of his victims families were
- 1:11:02pursuing, civil cases against him, because of what he was
- 1:11:05saying publicly, they started suing him for injuries losses,
- 1:11:09but the problem is, like they won those civil cases, but he
- 1:11:13had nothing. Nothing was in his name.
- 1:11:16Even the house, they owned was in Jones.
- 1:11:18Name is terrible. Yep.
- 1:11:24He could work the rest of his days in prison and never make
- 1:11:26enough money to pay what he owed to those people.
- 1:11:30And for a little bit of time, he's quiet, he spends, time
- 1:11:32focusing on parole which is another annoyance.
- 1:11:36Because in almost every country in the world natural life when
- 1:11:40you get life in prison tends to be about 25 to 30 years.
- 1:11:44That's why in some more of the heinous cases in the United
- 1:11:46States. They'll do multiple life
- 1:11:48sentences to make sure that someone doesn't leave right?
- 1:11:52So, Clifford's First parole hearing is in 1997.
- 1:11:56He applied under a clause called The Faint hope clause or Canada
- 1:12:00criminal code. Ask. 7 45.6 which is a statutory
- 1:12:04provision that allows a prisoner who's been sentenced to life in
- 1:12:07prison. To be eligible for parole once
- 1:12:10they've served 15 years. He is denied Force.
- 1:12:19Canadian law also says, if you've been convicted of
- 1:12:21first-degree murder, you can apply for parole after you've
- 1:12:25served 25 years. So on July 18, 2006, he tries
- 1:12:34again. He's also denied also around
- 1:12:40this time, he makes a bunch of bizarre claims like he said that
- 1:12:42the u.s. grant him clemency because he knew things about
- 1:12:47September 11th. What should we know sense?
- 1:12:50Because like he was in prison. Yeah.
- 1:12:54A fortunately after that, under Canadian law, he is allowed to
- 1:12:57request parole, every two years or more, and he does it in 2010.
- 1:13:08Like every two years and they refused him every single time
- 1:13:11now in 2010, he's the source of another bit of controversy.
- 1:13:15When the media find out that he's receiving government
- 1:13:18benefits from Canada, while in prison house, which amounted to
- 1:13:24about 1,100 Canadian dollars. It's not a lot of money but like
- 1:13:29it's still like 900 bucks us, right?
- 1:13:33That's what are you should be good?
- 1:13:34Also he's now old enough to receive OAS which is the old age
- 1:13:39security. So I like a pension and pretty
- 1:13:43much it Canada people who meet residency requirements and of
- 1:13:46course, there's like the length of time you lived in Canada and
- 1:13:48are 65 or older. You receive that pension.
- 1:13:52And so January 1st 2010 Clifford was 70 years old.
- 1:13:57He's also eligible to receive something called the guaranteed
- 1:14:00income supplement which awarded was awarded to pensioners who
- 1:14:03have low income. And all this money is being held
- 1:14:06for him in a trust. So he didn't have access to it
- 1:14:08while he's in prison, but people are super mad that.
- 1:14:12Yeah he saw these rights. Yeah, absolutely So the Canadian
- 1:14:17taxpayers Federation ended up testifying before the committee
- 1:14:21for human resource development and they passed something called
- 1:14:24bill c31 which terminated pension benefits.
- 1:14:27For prisoners, the organization showed up with 46 thousand
- 1:14:31signatures from British Columbia requesting that Clifford never
- 1:14:35receive. These benefits, Prime Minister,
- 1:14:38Stephen Harper, had the government look into it and in
- 1:14:40June 1st, the government terminated his payments based on
- 1:14:43the fact that his crime was horrific.
- 1:14:46September of 2010. He sent one of those checks to
- 1:14:50the Sun to Sun media to a reporter.
- 1:14:53With a note asking the reporter to forward.
- 1:14:55The check to Stephen Harper's campaign for re-election.
- 1:15:00Hi-yah and September of 2011. He is discovered to have
- 1:15:06terminal cancer. He was transferred to Louisville
- 1:15:09Hospital and Quebec where he died a few weeks later at the
- 1:15:12age of 71 on September 30th. From the age of 17 Clifford
- 1:15:18Olson. Spent only 1501 days outside of
- 1:15:22a prison cell. That's crazy.
- 1:15:26If we take into account the total number of murders, he says
- 1:15:29he's committed. It would amount to about 10 a
- 1:15:31day. A lot of people say that he fits
- 1:15:35a lot of the classic psychopath checklist, and to be fair, when
- 1:15:40they gave him the psychopathy checklist, he scored 38 out of
- 1:15:4440. Yes.
- 1:15:46What's get that high? No, no.
- 1:15:49Hi is bad. And on this this assessment and
- 1:15:52it's a tool to assess institutionalized people.
- 1:15:56And yes, while he definitely did have some antisocial and
- 1:16:00narcissistic Tendencies he is Very, very manipulative, and
- 1:16:04it's very light and he wasn't stupid, so, it's potential that
- 1:16:08he could have manipulated those tests that they gave him, he
- 1:16:12wouldn't be the first serial killer to do.
- 1:16:14So again, at Kemper realized how to write cheat the test, and
- 1:16:21give them the answers that they want it.
- 1:16:25Clifford got high on attention and being more and more
- 1:16:29outrageous gave him more attention as far as his
- 1:16:33relationships. I think he like Joan.
- 1:16:35He liked that she did nice things for him.
- 1:16:37You'd mind they had sex, but I sincerely doubt he'll ever loved
- 1:16:42her. He's one of those few people I
- 1:16:44think never loved anybody. One time while he was in prison,
- 1:16:49a reporter asked him what do you think about Hannibal Lecter and
- 1:16:54Clifford said, he's made up, I'm the real thing.
- 1:17:00It's gross, he has over the year.
- 1:17:04Yeah, over the years. People were very upset with
- 1:17:06Joan. When she said, she still loved
- 1:17:08her husband. She did divorce him in March of
- 1:17:121985 and pretty much kind of lived mostly in obscurity,
- 1:17:17occasionally responding to the Press over the years.
- 1:17:21She would tell the press that she never actually got to keep
- 1:17:24any of that money because she spent so much time in court.
- 1:17:30Due to the the families of the victims that it kind of just got
- 1:17:33cannibalized by court fees. And as for little baby Stephen
- 1:17:39Olson, we absolutely don't know what happened to him and I hope
- 1:17:44he lived a life where he didn't have to know what his dad does.
- 1:17:48I hope Joan change both their names and they moved on and had
- 1:17:52a perfectly normal life. You can only hope.
- 1:17:56Yep. And that's what I got.
- 1:17:59Attack. Well, that was infuriating.
- 1:18:05I told you. This is the part where he wants
- 1:18:10to write a book and the title of the book I'm going to God.
- 1:18:17Oh yeah. About saying goodbye to his son.
- 1:18:24Bra. No, okay.
- 1:18:26No. Okay, let's talk about Krypton,
- 1:18:33shall we? Yes, let's talk about some

- 1:20:25Oh my God, okay so isn't there a Sheepsquatch from a fall out?
- 1:20:30Okay, so in Kentucky is, there's a there's there's this Railroad
- 1:20:39underpass, right? Okay.
- 1:20:41It's called a Trestle Bridge, Okay?
- 1:20:45And the name of this Trestle bridge is called the pope lick
- 1:20:50Trestle Bridge. Does the pope lick monster ring
- 1:20:56any bells to goddamn? It's okay yeah it's something
- 1:21:05like I remember you were talking about on one day because you
- 1:21:08were looking at it and you're like oh my God, this thing is
- 1:21:10fucking we like okay. They're this Pope lick monster,
- 1:21:16it has different origin, stories.
- 1:21:25And I can there's one that's like the urban legends of this
- 1:21:29thing is weird. The first one is like, it's a,
- 1:21:34it's basically. I definitely didn't say anything
- 1:21:37about the public. This topic monster looks just
- 1:21:40like it honestly. Looks like what people A demon's
- 1:21:44look like it. I just I remember like I don't
- 1:21:48know what it was but you were talking about it and you're
- 1:21:52looking it up. I swear you were as this is not
- 1:21:55mean there's a lot of there's like a trail cam things that are
- 1:21:59supposed to look like. Yeah, I love trail cam, footage.
- 1:22:03It's awful and super terrible. But anyway, he lives under this
- 1:22:09one particular Bridge apparently so there are three different
- 1:22:13Current like versions of his urban legend.
- 1:22:18I'll talk about talk about the one in detail because that's
- 1:22:21like the main one, but the other two is one got a real cool
- 1:22:26drawing of him under a bridge. Yeah, one is that he was, I
- 1:22:33guess. A like a twisted.
- 1:22:42This is when reading a twisted reincarnation reincarnated form
- 1:22:46of a farmer who sacrificed goats in exchange for a satanic Powers
- 1:22:51the it's just a demon stuff okay that's that's one version.
- 1:22:56Another version amandine get in here I got another Another
- 1:23:04version is that he is a skinwalker.
- 1:23:09It does look very similar. But the main one is that the one
- 1:23:16I really looked it up. If this was like the main story
- 1:23:19is that he was a half goat half human hybrid.
- 1:23:26That was a circus freak. And who escaped because he's
- 1:23:33being mistreated and he went to live underneath this this trip
- 1:23:39this over an overpass just train overpass and that is the one I'm
- 1:23:45going to reach you. It's a it's a, you know, it's a
- 1:23:48it's a tail urban legend tail. So, I'm going to read it that
- 1:23:55and God is long. Well, I mean you are the one in
- 1:24:01control. I recommend of the pie.
- 1:24:03I know and I want to read it. You want to shorten it?
- 1:24:07Go ahead and shorten it. We'll see.
- 1:24:09We'll see if I don't think I will just because okay.
- 1:24:14So one thunderously stormy night.
- 1:24:17Well I stopped in a small town near Beltsville Maryland.
- 1:24:21The circus bearded lady Madame Bristol's discovered in
- 1:24:26abandoned infant left and a hate-filled crate outside her
- 1:24:30tent. The child was severe severely.
- 1:24:33Malformed with stubs protruding from its forehead and the shape
- 1:24:37and legs that ended in what's look more like cloven Hooves
- 1:24:43than hoop to Human. She took the poor creature in
- 1:24:47and gave it food and shelter. One, look at the twists,
- 1:24:50Abomination and Colonel. Yeah, I can't pronounce this.
- 1:24:59If he'll dick neck. Okay.
- 1:25:06That's what his name is. The colonel.
- 1:25:07That's his name. He's the colonel and his
- 1:25:10Colonel. He knew that he had struck gold.
- 1:25:13He had found a story attraction for his freak show.
- 1:25:16That would make him Rich. Beyond his Wildest Dreams.
- 1:25:20He took a child and raise it in captivity.
- 1:25:23Never letting it out of his sight or its cage until I could
- 1:25:26be fully exploited for its grotesque appearance.
- 1:25:32The Beast grew in size and strength over the years it's
- 1:25:36those becoming a full-size horns and his temperament as nasty as
- 1:25:41a temperament given to it by the cruel.
- 1:25:44Circus carnies charged with keeping it in prison.
- 1:25:49It spent most of it's life, change the world of a cage
- 1:25:53inside a circus train with brutally daily to keep it
- 1:25:58subdued and submissive and fed only gruel and leftover scraps
- 1:26:02from the made the midday vendor grease pits one fateful night
- 1:26:07during a thunderstorm as violent.
- 1:26:09As the one on a night of its birth, the circus train was
- 1:26:14passing through Fisher bill on its way to a performance in
- 1:26:19Louisville Kentucky, when a bolt of lightning struck the tracks
- 1:26:24causing the train to derailed, just ahead of the trestle over
- 1:26:29Pope Lick Creek. The Twist that wreck probably
- 1:26:33killed most of the Colonel's crew instantly but not all of
- 1:26:38them. Okay.
- 1:26:40Since body parts were found as far away as two miles from the
- 1:26:44crash site What is known for a fact?
- 1:26:48Is that the Goatman which is what they called him survived.
- 1:26:53The tragic train wreck finally set free from its life of
- 1:26:57torture, exploitation and imprisonment and it took event
- 1:27:02revenge on the Survivors by ripping them to bloody shreds.
- 1:27:07The Colonel's body was never found and it was it is suspected
- 1:27:12that a few of his Cutthroat crew of clowns.
- 1:27:16Circus freaks in dangerous animals.
- 1:27:18May also man survived the deadly accident but were never found.
- 1:27:25Obviously, you're gonna say the Clown's killed eyes.
- 1:27:30That's honestly where I thought that was gone.
- 1:27:32I just love the name is the cut, the Cutthroat crew of clouds.
- 1:27:38I love it. Okay.
- 1:27:41Um Due to the numerous deaths missing persons deer in
- 1:27:47livestock, mutilations and Goatman, sightings that have
- 1:27:51been reported in the ensuing years.
- 1:27:54There is good reason to believe the Goatman of Pope lick never
- 1:27:58left the area. He is believed to have taken a
- 1:28:01residence in either and underground cave or ramshackle
- 1:28:05Hut somewhere and what it area near the train trestle his
- 1:28:11inbred hate of proulx him. City has made him a bloodthirsty
- 1:28:16and dangerous piece to be avoided at all costs.
- 1:28:20Those who dare to trans, press trip.
- 1:28:22God, those who dare to trespass into his demean have met their
- 1:28:28fate at his hands. The Courier-Journal records, at
- 1:28:32least two confirmed deaths, deaths in 1987, and 1988 and
- 1:28:37many injuries and close calls, attributed to the pope lick, A
- 1:28:43monster and his protected Trestle.
- 1:28:46The Trestle raises, 90 feet 90 feet.
- 1:28:50Yeah, 90 feet above Pope lick, creep Creek, and stretches 772
- 1:28:56feet across to the other side. Also incapable of human speech.
- 1:29:01The Goatman is said to be able to mimic human voices and has
- 1:29:06been known to call out the names of those who have climbed to the
- 1:29:10top of the Trestle in order to lure.
- 1:29:13I'm out onto the tracks. Just as a nun coming.
- 1:29:16Train is coming around a Bend to still there.
- 1:29:20The seals are doom. Oh, no, I'm sorry.
- 1:29:24Getting into it. You've got on weekend nights
- 1:29:32during the month of October, and especially during the cycle of
- 1:29:35the full moon, the Goatman is said that to be most active in
- 1:29:39the woods and Hills surrounding the pope.
- 1:29:41Lick trestle. Those who have attempted to
- 1:29:44drive Beneath The Trestle. At the stroke of midnight, have
- 1:29:48reported being chased by the Beast, who can run at speeds of
- 1:29:53nearly 60 miles per hour. And more than one report has,
- 1:29:57claimed the loss of their car door handle, or bloody claw
- 1:30:01prints left on your car door after a Pursuit.
- 1:30:09In the mid-1970s rumors of a saint and a satanic cult, in
- 1:30:14demonic rituals began circulating in the same area
- 1:30:18along Public Road and reports of missing dogs, cats, and other
- 1:30:23domestic animals were suspected of falling prey to satanic blood
- 1:30:26site, ceremonies Amy, serious Farm known as The Four Winds
- 1:30:33down the street. A few A few miles from the treat
- 1:30:38recipe were suspected of being owned by a group of Satan has
- 1:30:44Satan. This God, satanists who worship
- 1:30:46the public monster as the living embodiment of.
- 1:30:51How do you pronounce this Baphomet boffin, but from Bad,
- 1:30:54laughs Bethenny? Yeah, oh yeah, the the main guy,
- 1:30:58the main because yeah, the go of Mendes himself, a mock, a
- 1:31:03marking of the image of a land. I am as the embodiment of Christ
- 1:31:08who died for the sins of humanity, blah blah.
- 1:31:12The Four Winds Farm was surrounded by a red and black
- 1:31:17painted fence, drew the 1980s and into the 1990s with a sign
- 1:31:21that the river the sign at the front gate warning trespassers
- 1:31:26will be persecuted strange tribal drum beats and chanting
- 1:31:32were often heard in the woods behind the Barn Farm. um,
- 1:31:38that's, I'm going to read about that for right now.
- 1:31:44So basically there's a satanic cult and this Pope lick monster
- 1:31:48was a circus freak, who escaped? During a train crash. and now, I
- 1:31:59said there was some troops into in this story, right?
- 1:32:03A little bit of Truth. So there is a Trestle and
- 1:32:09Louisville. Kentucky, it's over the pope.
- 1:32:12Lick Creek Park is by their public park, whatever, Public
- 1:32:17Road, and all that good stuff. Pope lick, it's just La puplic,
- 1:32:21okay? Yes, I also saw a news story,
- 1:32:26that's a kid fell off of it. That's where I'm going with
- 1:32:30this. So, this, this Trestle,
- 1:32:33apparently it's a thing for either tours or I guess not
- 1:32:39local kids, but or local people. But like a lot of Tours they go
- 1:32:44there. To like, look for this Pope lick
- 1:32:48Monster, not thinking that this like because the Taurus Taurus
- 1:32:54go. There they asked for, you know,
- 1:32:56what spooky around here, what's, you know, what's exciting?
- 1:32:59And, you know, doing Pope lick or Louisville Kentucky?
- 1:33:06And, you know, you know, if they talked to the wrong people,
- 1:33:09they're like, oh, you know, there's this Trestle, you know,
- 1:33:13that Russell is, right. All right.
- 1:33:15Well, if we go up this Trestle right over here, you can might,
- 1:33:19you might be able to meet a goat man.
- 1:33:22And if you got to see here in the top of the Trestle though,
- 1:33:27so you see, on top of the Trestle goat man will appear at
- 1:33:30the strike of midnight, all right?
- 1:33:32Is this still? This isn't still a working
- 1:33:34traffic. It is a working Trestle.
- 1:33:38Okay. See, that's my thing.
- 1:33:40Because Trestle is very thin bridge that only fits a train.
- 1:33:45It only nothing else. No nothing else.
- 1:33:48There's no walkway. Nothing.
- 1:33:50It only thing that goes on. Just made for train passing,
- 1:33:53absolutely one. Yep.
- 1:33:56And so like these tours, they go here and they're like, okay well
- 1:34:03I don't see it and you know they're you know these these
- 1:34:06people are like oh don't worry. It ain't working at trade on, go
- 1:34:09by and all more but train goes by a lot more than you think.
- 1:34:17And some people have died because of this.
- 1:34:22Some people have. I don't think they've getting
- 1:34:25they got hit by the train but, you know, they've they've had to
- 1:34:27hang from the Trestle. As they see this train coming as
- 1:34:31a walking on it, somebody had to drop down to hang on it and some
- 1:34:36people can't hang that long, and it's 90 feet above the ground.
- 1:34:43It's also like a lot of them are above water.
- 1:34:46Yeah, to cover like a body like a river or something and they'd
- 1:34:50probably be more likely to survive.
- 1:34:53But I'm looking at this one in particular, some overrode, it's
- 1:34:56just just land just concrete. Yep.
- 1:34:58Beneath you, it's right above a road and people like there, I
- 1:35:04was just reading one that some guy in his fiance, I guess, you
- 1:35:11know, they were doing is and he Had to hang, but she couldn't
- 1:35:14make it in time. So she and she fell and she died
- 1:35:18and he said this is like the worst.
- 1:35:20That was like the worst day of my life is like, the worst thing
- 1:35:23that happened to me when I saw was from 2019, a
- 1:35:27fifteen-year-old dies, and it was sad because it was like yet
- 1:35:31again, another accident on the pope.
- 1:35:34Lick, trestle. And I'm like, dang this is
- 1:35:38common apparently, two little girls were on the track and they
- 1:35:46did not hang they got hit. Yeah.
- 1:35:50One died in the other was in the hospital for a while.
- 1:35:55Yeah. Oh, it says, in 2016, Ohio
- 1:35:59tourists will quell beIN died in search for the public monster,
- 1:36:05but Russell is 742. Feet long.
- 1:36:08Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:36:09And it is 90 foot drop at the center and 20 or 30 near the end
- 1:36:14of the row. Cobain was also hit and fell,
- 1:36:19she died on the scene. It's that's the lady.
- 1:36:23Yeah that's her. The her boyfriend was the one
- 1:36:25who said. Yep.
- 1:36:26Yeah yep. Her name was Rick well.
- 1:36:27Okay. Yeah, there are no sightings
- 1:36:35whether actual reported, sightings parently a retired
- 1:36:40train engineer said that while he was, I guess.
- 1:36:45The he routinely went down that path.
- 1:36:48There were 43 collisions while he worked there over 34 years.
- 1:36:54So at least once a year, somebody died on that Trestle
- 1:36:56while he was working there. It claims that I think I found
- 1:37:01the number. The total number.
- 1:37:04Yeah. He was just saying his time.
- 1:37:07Yeah. It's just 34.
- 1:37:09It was probably more because they're still doing it.
- 1:37:12Yeah. It's not a thing that's probably
- 1:37:15going to stop anytime soon. Unfortunately.
- 1:37:20Now I remember, yeah, here's the thing.
- 1:37:22I'm not super interested in meeting a goat man, in general.
- 1:37:26No, no. Because we see, like, depictions
- 1:37:30of see him like the devil. So, I mean, like, well, like I
- 1:37:36said, yeah, like you said, these are all very close to devil.
- 1:37:41People goats aren't exactly all that nice to begin with.
- 1:37:45It's true. Like you're worried about goats
- 1:37:49and goats are trash. Listen they're aggressive.
- 1:37:54They eat your clothes. Shit goes for trash.
- 1:37:58So I'm just saying like he's probably got a bad disposition
- 1:38:01if he's part goat. Oh, you know what I think.
- 1:38:07I remember what you're talking about when we first brought this
- 1:38:10up and it's that there was a movie about it.
- 1:38:14It's called The let the legend of the Pope lick monsters only
- 1:38:1716 minutes though. And it came out in 1988
- 1:38:23interested. I'm not sure if there are any
