Hey, everyone, welcome to Bless This Messa, the True Crump Podcast.
0:23
I don't care, here's do says do. Hey. All right, so
0:25
we're back and this week we were going to Texas and we are in Texas.
0:30
We are in Texas. We're going to Texas, all things Texas.
0:33
So anyways, what is going on in our lives? We're recording this late
0:42
because I got to stay up because Disney Cruise Lines make you open their window,
0:47
like booking window at midnight Eastern time, so to be able to get
0:53
my daughter and me into the Royal Tea party. I got to get on
0:57
there because it's a first time cruiser. We just we just now get to
1:00
book like seventy five days out. So if you do the math, you'll
1:04
know where we're going now around the house. Anyways, what else is new?
1:11
The baby's sick, so that's fun. Yeah, that's about it.
1:18
It's still dealing with hail damage. Yeah, we're still dealing with that.
1:21
Roofers put a nail in our gas line. Yeah. So I felt like
1:26
for several days I was being gas lit as if if you will, no
1:30
pun intended, because I'd come in and I'd smell just the faintest whiff of
1:36
natural gas. I'm like, but it was just enough to make you think
1:40
you're crazy, And then students smell it at all, and so finally I
1:45
freaked. I freaked out. I was like, all of a sudden one
1:48
night on Sunday night, I freaked out and I was like, no,
1:51
we're getting everybody out of this house. I'm certain I smelt it because I
1:53
don't like dealing with this house is going to blow up. I've never I've
1:57
never lived in a house with natural gas. Iron stand that people say,
2:00
you know it cooks better all that stuff. Now you're cooking with gas,
2:04
as my boss was saying when I were doing about it, like and he's
2:06
like, but that's where the phrase comes from. I'm give me my electric
2:09
I don't I don't care. I don't like feeling like my house is gonna
2:13
explode because a roofer puts a nail through a through a pipe. Anyways,
2:20
so I panicked. Stu was like, can I take a shower? I
2:23
was like, no, I know there's natural because he still didn't smell it.
2:27
It was just me. So then we get the kids out of bed,
2:30
put him in their stroller because there are of course as sleeps. It's
2:32
nine thirty at night, babies asleep, get her outside, we go.
2:38
He I was like, I was six going to go out front, and
2:38
she's like, well, we can at least go stand on the backyard because
2:43
it wasn't at a level the house was going to explode, obviously. But
2:46
the gas guy that came did not make me feel much better. He's like,
2:51
yeah, I've been working twelve plus hours today and he was getting another
2:53
call while we were like, he was dealing with ours. He's trying to
2:57
find the leak, and uh, come to find out, he was somewhat
3:01
incompetent or very tired from his twelve hour shift, so he didn't actually find
3:06
the leak. So then the next day I still smelt the gas. I'm
3:08
like, no, I'm crazy. Now, I need to just let this
3:10
go. He isolated that he thought it was the fireplace, he isolated it,
3:15
whatever, But no, I kept thinking it, and then finally I
3:17
think you finally did smell it, did you. That was the ninth of
3:22
the game. The atmosky was there? No that you called the gas company
3:28
the people to repair it. So we called the people to repair it.
3:31
You said you, well, no, he shut the thing down. But
3:35
I had to call the people to come check the voalves out in the regulators.
3:38
Okay, so when they came, they said, there's still gas leaking
3:40
in your house. They said it wasn't at the two places that they that
3:46
we thought it was. Okay, that's what I'm saying. But you,
3:49
I thought you said you smelt it after the guy came and the gas guy
3:52
came, I thought you said you okay, whatever, stew finally smelt it
3:58
because you dealt it. I knew that was con because he's freaking five.
4:02
Oh shut up, Stuart, that is not even true. What is wrong
4:05
with you? Somebody might believe it anyways. No, the baby has been
4:12
very stinky. She's got she's got problems. Anyways, So the guys came
4:19
to fix the repair of the line and they're like, well, it's still
4:23
leaking gas. To say, finally figured it out. It was not coming
4:25
from the fireplace. We have a pool and it has a heater, and
4:28
so when the guys put the roof on, they shot a nail through the
4:32
line and it was just leaking up in the attic. I'm guessing that gas
4:36
line is probably not code and the way they ran it out there. So
4:42
well anyway, so after the people that repair the gas line came and looked
4:46
at it, did a pressure test, and then spent three hours here at
4:50
one hundred and fifty dollars an hour. They proceeded to tell us what was
4:55
wrong, and then now we have to have the roofing company come and fix
4:58
it because it was their fault. So we've been dealing with that. We
5:02
had our air conditioner drained back up, and then our ceilings like falling apart.
5:08
Note to self, don't ever get a dr Horton house again, and
5:12
then what else I want to Sam, don't get Samsung appliances. TV's are
5:21
fine. Yeah, So anyways, so that's what we've been dealing with.
5:26
I have been more active. I've been trying to be more active on the
5:29
Instagram. I'm trying to get my life together, so I figured i'd just
5:32
share it all with you guys. Maybe I'll do better if I if I'm
5:35
like recording getting sharing it. So I've been trying to like mail prep and
5:41
work out and get my house organized. Because what happens is is that you
5:47
have all these things you want to do, like record a podcast, but
5:50
we're not organized to get our house clean and do all the things we need
5:55
to do. So because we have three children, like before, we could
5:58
just wing it. I mean we weren't that great it then anyways, but
6:00
we were better. But for me, you have any children, you just
6:02
kind of wing it and you just figure it out. Like nobody's like destroying
6:05
your house while you're cleaning it when you have no children. But then you
6:09
have children, and We've had three in less than four years. So I've
6:15
got to do I've got to get like on a system and get better at
6:18
mill prepping and doing things like that. So I'm sharing it all on Instagram,
6:26
so if you want, there'll still be some true crime stuff like the
6:29
video of my daughter want to kill something with her fake knife. That'll be
6:35
that stuff as well, like podcast stuff. But I'm also going to be
6:39
sharing more of my recipes and everything like that. And then yeah, so
6:45
the baby's crying, so we're gonna go tend to her and we'll be right
6:48
back anyways, back to the whole thing. So yeah, go check out
6:51
the follow the Instagram and you can see me, see me try to get
6:57
my life together. It's not having I did really good today. I meal
7:04
prepped, so much stuff and it's all healthy. We had a Caesar salad
7:08
with chicken that I mill prepped. H Stewart. Yeah, I know.
7:14
Well that was kind of like a lunch though. That was a lunch.
7:15
So anyways, all right, Well with that said, let's get into this

7:58
That's fine, they're not they're not counting in the negative words. Just
8:03
like if you if you're on my Instagram, like the podcast Instagram, and
8:07
you're upset that it's not just all like murder, murder, murder, now,
8:09
because let's face it, people, there's only so much true crime stuff
8:13
you can post. Okay, there is a lot of time. Yes,
8:16
there's pages specifically dedicated to it, but it's a bit of a downer.
8:20
So I feel like we should just perk up a little bit with like,
8:22
hey, here's a fun recipe for uh aperol sprits or something I don't know
8:28
anyways. Yeah, so if you see something on Instagram that you don't like,

8:39
old heart first, and then keep scrolling, you know, up like they
8:46
they can't see I'm telling them anyways. All right, we're moving on from
8:50
this. If you've been fast forwarding through the podcast, here's your time to
8:54
stop because we're about to start right now. Robin Spielbauer Nay Blutsoe was born
9:03
October twenty third, nineteen eighty one, in Altus, Oklahoma, at the
9:05
Altus Air Force Base, to Steve and Jackie Bletsoe. She had one sister
9:09
named Brandy. Robin was a military brat. Both of her parents were serving
9:15
in the military, and so this when they would move frequently, you know,
9:18
being in especially both of them being in the military, constantly moving.
9:22
This included going overseas the family would find up in finally end up in North
9:26
Dakota until nineteen ninety five when Robin moved to Amarillo, Texas. Don't sing,
9:33
Stewart, you don't want them to sing. No, he started singing
9:37
when I told him it was in Amarillo. And he doesn't even know who
9:39
George Strait is. So that's by Garth Brooks. See this is what he
9:43
does. He does this to intentionally piss me off. He says that George
9:48
Strait songs are by Garth Brooks, and Garth Brooks songs are by George Strait.
9:52
Yeah, he did go to a Garth Brooks concert though. So I've
9:58
been knowing Willie Nelson consent, and I've been to Toby Keith. You went
10:01
to Garth Brooks because I made you though. Yeah, great concert though everybody
10:05
knows all the words. I've been to Hank Williams dor You know where we
10:09
having is the Taylor Swift concert and that's where we're really didn't get to go
10:15
when we're in San Antonio. Was the Tesla concert? Oh yeah, they
10:18
were right across the uh the the street from our All you had to do
10:22
is just take the children of the hotel. I could have gone to Tesla.
10:24
Yeah, I just take all three children to the hotel by myself and
10:28
deal with them in the hotel. Actually, it wouldn't have been that bad.
10:31
We could have room surface, I could have laid in bed and watched
10:35
TV. It was hot, it was sweaty. We were walking around the
10:37
world. It was hot, it was very humid. And been done with
10:43
it. See, I need to need to share it like our travels on
10:46
Instagram too, stew I don't I forget to share stuff like that, you
10:50
know. And we saw some cool stuff like tar on the beach. Have
10:56
we been Have we been on here since we went to South Paudry? I
10:58
don't. Okay, Well that's never mind. We don't have to go into
11:01
that, all right. So Robin she moves to Amarillo in nineteen ninety five.
11:07
She would work at young Blood Stockyard Cafe and would go on to meet
11:11
j. D. Spilbauer in two thousand and three. Soon after dating,
11:15
Robin would become pregnant with a daughter, and then they would go on to
11:18
marry in two thousand and five. They would end up having two daughters,
11:22
Jaden and Harley. Now, early on there was trouble in the marriage because
11:26
JD was cheater, cheater pumpkin eater, stew pussy eater more. God,
11:33
Wow, what did I just say? Nice beaver? Thanks? I just
11:37
had it stuffed. Why did I just say that? Okay? Uh?
11:43
He was cheating on Robin like multiple times with multiple women. Bad bad guy.
11:48
You know. However, Robin was very much in love with JD and
11:52
she wanted it to work, so she would end up staying with him for
11:58
a long time with that type of behavior. In total, it was seven
12:01
years and after multiple affairs, Robin finally had enough now JD. Because part
12:07
of the reason they explained why she did stay is just because she had seen
12:11
her parents, like with this family and everything, and that's what she really
12:13
really wanted, was like a nice family, nice husband, and she got
12:18
this asshole that's like cheating on her left and right. Yeah, what's doing
12:22
seven years? Yeah, it's a long time stick, but they had the
12:26
two kids and stuff. She's just trying to trying to make it work,
12:30
you know, trying to be the bigger person, and he just kept I'm
12:33
sure he kept telling her, I'm as to me the last time, baby,
12:35
I promise I want to fuck no more girl. Anyway, So one
12:41
of the affairs was with one of Robin's goods friends named Katie Phipps. So
12:45
this was kind of the last straw, like the last straw, and that's
12:50
when, because that's when she decided to leave. She was like, Okay,
12:52
if he's gonna cheat on me with my one of my good friends.
12:54
And this is a woman that I had told all about my marital problems everything
13:00
at this and she cheated with my husband. Like this is uh, this
13:03
is too far baby. She Okay, so we're still not hawked to it
13:09
face, Okay, I feel that poor girl. I've said some I've said
13:13
some pretty dumb things when I've been drunk when I was younger, and I
13:16
can't even imagine it being on people making parodies of it songs. Evidently she's
13:22
made about sixty five grand in March off of this, so oh well,
13:26
I mean, but that's still not well. No, she just needs to
13:30
parlay it into a full time content making career. But I heard she was
13:33
like a pastor's daughter and stuff. Oh lord, yeah, just like Onloos,
13:39
nobody puts baby in a corner. Oh it's not the wrong movie a
13:45
little bit. Yeah, oh Footloose, that's got Kevin Bacon. Okay,
13:50
we just watched a movie with Kevin Bacon that was terrible. Don't even don't
13:54
even want that leave the world behind. Don't watch that movie. I was
13:56
We were so sucked in and it was a fucking and let down. Let
14:01
me tell you. Yeah, all right left us with blue balls. But
14:07
you know who didn't have any j D because he was cheating on Robin left
14:11
and right. So she so she finally she leaves JD takes her two daughters.
14:16
But shortly after the divorce, j D would go on to I believe
14:20
he marries Katie the girl, he hows the friend and sort just let it
14:26
go. I've already said, I've already said enough. You don't need to
14:30
add to it now, he would. What's the kicker though, is the
14:33
kick you and the ball spit on your neck fantastic? Which is a friends
14:37
quote. You wouldn't know that, I would not. He moves into a
14:41
house just two houses down from where Robin was living with their two girls,
14:46
like just a big f you you know, amr L is not that small
14:50
of a town. He could have found another place. Yeah, before he
14:54
starts to before I start one, Yes, I would just like to make
14:58
a correction because I think whenever I was talking about the friend's quote, I
15:01
was talking about balls, and I said, kick you and the balls everybody
15:03
before you ride into me. I know it's kick you in the crotch,
15:05
spit on your neck, fantastic. Just just to clarify, I just realized
15:13
I did that so Rachel would never say balls. She's classier than that.
15:18
Now I saw her and we are the Miller's and she no, that's e
15:24
Jennifer Aniston. Rachel would not. She's a classy girl. Okay. Anyway.
15:31
On April eighth, twenty fourteen, a car was driving along Helium Road.
15:35
It's a dirt road on the outskirts of Amarillo, and this person came
15:39
upon a black tahoe on the side of the road. Lying next to the
15:43
back passenger tire. In the grass was what appeared to be a body.
15:48
Well, can I just say that it was called Helium Road because apparently like
15:52
that part like Ambilla, what used to be one of the largest manufacturers of
15:56
helium helium producer producers. Yeah, I don't know if you manufacture. I
16:03
know I said the wrong word again, Stewart. Okay, wow, Jesus,
16:06
it is late. It is Sunday. On a Sunday. I have
16:10
to go to work in the morning, but Disney waits for no one,
16:12
So go on, can I now? The driver called nine to one one
16:19
and the sheriff arrived at the scene and confirmed that it was a body and
16:23
it was a deceased female. It was clear that the woman had suffered injuries
16:27
to the back of her head. They found no id, no phone,
16:32
no wallet, but they were able to run the license plate and they found
16:34
that the suv belonged to a thirty two year old Robin Spielbauer. They contacted
16:41
her parents, who sent over pictures to the police, and they, through
16:47
the pictures of the police, were able to confirm that it was Robin.
16:51
Yeah, because they still got to confirm because somebody could have stolen her car.
16:53
Anything could have happened, So even though the car belonged to her,
16:56
they still had to confirm car jack. Yeah, some other woman, some
17:00
other woman that got ubducted or something. Yeah. Well, examining the crime
17:06
scene, they determined that Robin was killed where she was found. She had
17:08
not been you know, moved from another location or anything like that. Another
17:12
odd piece of evidence they found were three star like cracks on one of her
17:17
windows, and these looked similar to if a rock hitcher windshield, if hell
17:22
hit your windshield, it's just good. Yeah, shattered all four of those
17:27
windshields, replaced all four of us. We just got to get the Cento
17:30
replace now. Yeah. Now, the odd part was that there would looked
17:36
like some like pink paint next to the cracks. So there's these starlight cracks
17:40
and then there's pink paint, which is very, very strange. They also
17:44
found a small piece of triangular like shaped plastic on the ground and they collected
17:48
this as well, and autopsy would later reveal that Robin not only had been
17:52
beaten on the back of the head, she had also been shot with a
17:56
twenty two caliber pistol. She had not been sexually assaulted, and it did
18:00
not appear to be a robbery, despite her not having the ID and the
18:06
phone and everything. So, I mean, because they left her car there
18:07
and stuff like, she didn't really have much else of value with her well
18:15
being shout with the twenty two caliber pistol. First off, if you ever
18:18
get caught for murdering somebody and you didn't use at least a thirty eight that
18:22
you're just torturing them, shooting them with they're twenty two, you ought to
18:26
be well, probably she was beaten too. You ought to be put in
18:30
a wood chip or feet first, and that's how you should go, because
18:33
you might as well to shoot somebody with a pellet gun until they're dead and
18:37
it's just torturous. Oh that's where you were going with that. I wasn't
18:41
sure you're saying that that shooting someone with a twenty two is just like a
18:47
terrible thing because they're not going to die right away. No, I mean
18:49
unless you just hit them in the right spot the first time. Yeah,
18:53
it's it's like stabbing somebody with a two inch knife instead of a well if
18:59
you hit the right spot. Yet, if you hit the right spot then
19:03
anyway talking all right, so yeah we're still anyways. So that's how she
19:10
That's what the autopsy revealed that someone had actually brought a gun to the murder
19:15
and she was also shot as well. Because they could only see at the
19:18
crime scene upon it, they could only see like the blood and like she
19:21
had been beaten. Police began speaking to friends, family, and they find
19:27
out quickly that Robin was involved in a love triangle between j D and Katie
19:34
after the divorce and JD Mary and Katie, the relationship between the three would
19:41
continue to be volatile, continue between them, continue just to be volatile.
19:47
There is yes, JD was rumored to still be sleeping with Robin while he
19:53
was married to Katie. So comes the mistress and everybody. I know what
20:02
you're thinking right now, You're like, what does old JD look like?
20:04
Is he look like Brad Pitt or some sort of some sort of you know,
20:11
model like David Beckham or something crazy to drive the ladies wild or anything
20:17
that The answer is no, he does not. He is a weasley looking
20:22
motherfucker. So I'm not really sure what's what the the product is out in
20:29
Amarillo, but it's if we're basing off JD. It's not great well anyway,
20:34
but he's apparently knew how to drive the ladies wild so well. Police
20:38
found out that the tension was hitting up around Thanksgiving him twenty thirteen, when
20:44
Robin went into JD and Katie's home to get her girls from upstairs, and
20:49
Katie pulled her hair dragged her down the stairs. The altercation ended when Robin
20:56
kicked Katie into the fireplace. Man I need like video of this. Finding
21:02
out this information, police brought Katie in for questioning, and the first question
21:07
she asked was not about Robin's murder. It was whether or not they knew
21:11
if her husband JD was for sure sleeping with Robin. She was worried about.
21:18
Yeah, she was more concerned with the cheating than the death of her
21:21
former best friend. Police had discovered in the four days leading up to Robin's
21:26
murder that Katie had become obsessed with the notion that JD might have been sleeping
21:30
with Robin. Katie had texted JD three three hundred times asking him about the
21:37
affair. Student Eden, I gave him a drink so or he made himself
21:41
a drink. So we don't know what's going to happen. Happen people during
21:44
that time we had to stop recording because you got two drunk. We used
21:49
to hit it hard back in the day when we recorded this, because this
21:52
is the only way we could do it. Now half the time we haven't
21:55
drunk anything when we're recording these and one direck, I'll just put your right
21:59
in there. Yeah, remember that, you remember that time we got drunk
22:02
and it was hot in the house because the air conditioner broke because we were
22:04
doing the Frog episode and then you left town. Yeah, then when you
22:10
came back, we had to record the rest of it part two. Yeah,
22:15
that was the Frog episode. I remember being lucky enough to have to
22:18
go to a training in Houston when the air conditioner went down in the middle
22:21
of summer, and when I came back it was fixed that day. Ye.
22:25
Anyways, Yeah, they were there working on it. You got a
22:26
home and it's like, oh, he's working on Yeah, this is a
22:30
perfect time. Yeah, that's when we were doing the one from the Austin
22:32
yogurt shop. There was a frog. There was a tree frog in the
22:34
house. There was a tree frog. Yeah there was Okay, well to

22:41
yeah, millions of people. Well tens of hashtag frog life. Yes,
22:48
Okay, anyway, Katie, we're just going to go back to where
22:52
Katie texted JD three hundred times about the affair, and police responded to Katie
22:59
and they told told her that they did not have concrete proof that he was
23:03
getting with Robin, but they had been told by several people he was sleeping
23:08
with Robin. He also told her that they were supposed to meet at nine
23:12
thirty the night Robin was killed. Katie begins crying with the news that JD
23:18
was cheating. Really, but she had bigger problems because she was the prime
23:23
suspect for the murder of Robin. Investigators told her that they knew she had
23:27
a motive to kill Robin and asked her if she had ever threatened to kill
23:33
her. Katie denied this, but investigators spoke to friends of the women,
23:37
and they said that they had heard Katie threaten robinho who are the what are
23:41
these people? I've never like? I guess I'm just not I don't know.
23:45
I don't understand. How are you going around to your friends and be
23:48
like, Hey, I'm gonna kill I'm gonna kill Robin. You know.
23:52
Well maybe they were just arguing. They're like, I'm gonna kill that bitch.
23:56
Oh yeah, all right, I could kill her. I guess if
23:59
they're getting in fights the front room and stuff like that, it's the different
24:02
level they're on than what I've ever been with somebody. Katie begins to tear
24:07
up during the interview, and she tells police she is not a murderer,
24:11
even though she did not like Robin. She goes on to tell police that
24:15
she lost her parents at a young age and she would never do that to
24:18
someone else's children. She offers to take a polygraph test without police asking it,
24:26
and she fails it. She gives her alibi, stating that she was
24:32
at a friend's house with her son that night. Police let her go and
24:37
continue to investigate the murder of Robin. Police served a search warrant for JD
24:42
and Katie's home and they Tuta Tena's on a would day Tana. When she
24:49
says Tuta, she says Tena Tenas they found a peak twenty two six hour
24:59
mosquito pistol that they assume belonged to Katie based on the fact that it was
25:03
pink, because I remember when I was going to get I was a long
25:07
time ago when I was going to get a gun. Remember they come,
25:10
they have all the pink ones and everything to like get the girls. You
25:14
know. Anyways, well you got one not pink. It wasn't pink,
25:18
no, but at least it was a thirty eight dressed no. So if
25:21
you're gonna murder somebody, at least you got a thirty eight and we do
25:23
have some hollow points, so I was just okay, anyways, canceled.
25:30
Anyways, Uh, what this is true? Don't break it into my house
25:33
and touch my children. I will suck you up. I will visit violence
25:37
upon you if you touch my family. And if you're not willing to visit
25:41
violence upon somebody, then I don't know. I know. You see that
25:45
video with all the moms were like, if you would you kill for your
25:47
child? And have you seen that video that they have and they were asking
25:49
these moms would you kill for your child? And they're like him, hould
25:52
about it. I'm like I would be like, dude, I will fucking
25:56
rip your juggular out with my teeth right now for okay, Yeah, what
26:00
do you mean You're like, no, I won't kill for my child?
26:02
Yeah? What was that movie? We bailed out that series? We bailed
26:04
at them where the guy took the girl like she was abducted twice in plain
26:10
Sider. We didn't bail out of that. We watched the whole thing because
26:11
it was so crazy. I didn't watch it. Oh, I watched it
26:17
abducted in plain sight? Yeah no, no, anyways, Yeah, I
26:22
don't understand that. But so now along with the pink gun, the other
26:27
there were several other guns they were able to verify Katie used that gun,
26:33
that particular gun based on pictures she had on her Facebook page at the shooting
26:37
range with said pink gun. So they took that gun and they for processing
26:45
and everything, and they noticed that it had a small plastic piece that was
26:48
part of the case, the pink the case, yep, and it was
26:52
broken off. So when they took that, they compared it to that little
26:56
piece of plastic they found at the crime scene. It was ton of it
27:02
matched. It matched exactly, so it's like a perfect little little puzzle piece
27:07
in there. They also discovered that those pink marks around the broken glass on
27:10
the window matched the sain colors that pink paint from the gun. So it
27:14
was pretty clear at this point that that was the murder weapon. On top
27:18
of finding the gun, they try to confirm Katie's alibi and they're unable to.
27:22
They try to track her cell phone activity, but she said that she
27:26
had turned off her phone at that time. Yes, because I turn off
27:29
my phone all the time. Very suspicious. All right, guys, we're
27:33
gonna have to pause because I gotta go book Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and the Royalty.
27:37
We'll be back in just a second, hopefully, and I tell you
27:41
we got them. Okay, let's see, all right. I know you
27:44
guys were all on the edge of your seat to see if we did,
27:47
in fact book what we were trying to book. I got the Bibitty Bobby
27:51
Boutique STU. I was able to get Royalty Day six. The first day
27:56
was all sold out, so and they had one time slot love for so
27:59
I got that in. But then there was a panic moment because I didn't
28:02
realize that you booked nursery too at this time. So then I'm like panicking
28:07
because I didn't really have a game plan. I thought you booked that like
28:10
fifteen days out or something like that, and so I had to go through
28:14
and use the app to like plan this out because we when we went on
28:18
our first cruise, we were trepidacious about using the nursery, but then we
28:22
learned that the nursery is great, So we were going to try to book
28:26
all three of them because they because of the ages that they are, it's
28:30
it's three and under can go to the nursery, and so our oldest is
28:34
a little bit of a wild card because she has like super what you just
28:38
stopped writing the middle breathing the case just to talk about this cruise. Oh
28:44
the seats, about what happened between Katie and Ryme. Okay, well I
28:47
thought they were on the edge of their seats because of the cruise. No
28:51
they're not. You can Okay, fine, I'll talk about it later,
28:53
all right, go on, stew My god, what anyways, The point
28:56
is we got it people, O, good god. I'm gonna need you
29:02
to donate to the Patreon the papers unsubscribed, unsubscribe, I am unsubscribing from
29:07
your podcast? What is wrong with you? Know what? You're right?
29:10
This is more of an Instagram situation. So we'll talk about it. We'll
29:14
talk about on the Graham tomorrow. Go on, you got a Graham.
29:18
Yeah, just come on, Stewart. Oh, we're not talking about the
29:22
same grams. No, Wow, Now Caddy's brought back in for questioning.
29:29
Okay, where we left off. People. Evidently it doesn't been that long
29:33
for them. They literally were just listening to it. Oh it's been like
29:36
five hours. It's been a long time for us. But they were,
29:38
They're they're right there with us. Okay. Cady was brought back in for
29:41
questioning, and she continues to deny any involvement in Robin's murder, so they
29:48
keep pressing her, and she finally says that maybe JD did it. I
29:52
can't believe she's gonna jant dime JD out on this. JD was clearly a
29:59
suspect, but Teddy was more so of a suspect. They run JD's background
30:03
check and find that he had been lying for years. He made claims of
30:08
being a war veteran, some stolen ballor bullshit, but he had never served
30:15
in the military whatsoever, which is real offensive to her and her parents whenever
30:21
the parents found out about this, because they both served in the military,
30:25
which is more offensive to me because I think JD ought to go through a
30:29
wood chipper. Okay, now they grow into this wood chipper here lately.
30:33
But well, I've told you about the wood check. I know, I've
30:38
about the wood chipper several times. They had text records of JD planning to
30:44
meet up with Robin that evening. He initially denied this, but once confronted
30:48
him with the evidence, he changed his too. He tells police that he
30:52
did meet up with Robin that night like the text said, and they had
30:56
him and they met on Healing Road. He says they got into Robin's vehicle.
31:03
Then he hears a tapping on the window, like keys or something.
31:07
He opens the door and it's Katie standing there. The two women get into
31:11
an argument, and JD tried to intervene by throwing some jello on him wrestling
31:18
match, but he was unsuccessful at stopping them from arguing. He tries to
31:23
get Katie to leave, but she will not, so he gets in his
31:26
truck and he leaves the two women. Seriously, you're gonna leave two women
31:30
scrapping on the side of the road. Next thing he heard was that Robin
31:37
had been murdered. Oops, maybe I shouldn't have left Katie there. Yeah,
31:42
or Katie probably left and god, someone just showed up and killed Robin.
31:47
Yeah. Yes, what I'm paying attention to you would to my theorizon.
31:56
So the alibis that might throw out there, well in the well.
32:01
And I'm getting tired too. I'm just people. The last hour while you
32:07
were on the phone, I was making things, namely drinks. Yeah,
32:15
you want to talk about you want to talk about. They all make all
32:19
these things about like passenger princess, which I can't be because I get real
32:22
bad carsick passenger princess on their on her phone with their coffee and her water
32:28
and just like chilling with their snacks while the husband drives her around. Stu
32:31
is vacation Princess because he just shows up. Bags have been packed, things
32:39
have been planned, itineraries, reservations made. You just proved my point when
32:44
you just said you were making drinks while I'm over here booking and planning everything.
32:50
You know, damn well, you know, damn well I do.
32:52
I you can say this this vacation coming up, not the cruise, but
32:57
the one we're talking about going on. Yes, you're doing leg work for
33:00
but the other one, Scott, like, I did like work for that
33:04
too, because I told you I wanted to go. I did leg work
33:06
for her. But I I printed out the itineraries hour by hour. I
33:12
made reservations at all the restaurants we wanted to go to. I had everything
33:15
down in a book. Are we not going to finish this case before we
33:19
argue? Are we? Well? Argue? Is it on the back end?
33:22
Yes, it's your return. All right now, with this information,
33:25
please arrest Katie Phipps just three days after the murder of Robin. Now,
33:30
Katie sits in jail for over a year waiting to go on trial, and
33:32
she continues to proclaim, proclaim her innocence, not confessing to the murder,
33:37
because it's just kind of crazy that they just believe j D. Also that
33:40
he just told him that this is what happened. They're like, sounds good.
33:45
Yeah, well it was her gun, but he lived in the house
33:47
with her there. I think it's a conspiracy in myself, however, that
33:54
it's her gun now that they were both involved in it. Anyways, investigators
34:00
continue to look for more evidence that will place her at the scene of the
34:02
crime and not just JD's word. Her cell phone was off at the time,
34:07
so normal tracking methods could not be used. However, they reached out
34:10
to the FBI and they had a new way of tracking. They had like
34:14
a new way of tracking cell phones. And this was I mean, this
34:16
isn't like you know, rocket science, but they were using like Wi Fi
34:22
because the phones were this was twenty fourteen, so I guess you know,
34:24
more Wi Fi enabled phones. So anyway, so they could actually, you
34:30
know, track the Wi Fi. And this was much more accurate than cell
34:32
phone towers because it's not like triangulating the position. It knows exactly where they
34:37
were based on the Wi Fi w a route or something. Yeah. Now,
34:42
like we said, Katie's phone was off the night that Robin was killed,
34:45
but she said she was with her son, who had an iPhone,
34:51
and multiple witnesses stated that Katie was with her son the entire day and evening.
34:55
They said she was with them, She was with them the whole time.
34:59
Now, so they decided they were going to track his location to see
35:01
if maybe she brought him with her to commit the crime. Well, they
35:07
found that Katie was never near, never anywhere near Helium Road like her The
35:10
son's WiFi was at a friend's house the whole entire time, and that friend
35:15
said that she Katie was with her son that time. During that time.
35:20
Now, after over a year in jail and losing everything she had, which
35:23
included her son, Katie was actually released and all charges were dropped. That's
35:29
a motherfucker. Yeah, so for a year he lost her son, Yeah,
35:32
lost her son to Child Protective Services or maybe the father. I think
35:40
she said he went into CPS or whatever, but she sat there and then
35:44
they finally were able to track her whereabouts with the son because before when they
35:50
checked her alibi, I guess there wasn't any solid proof she was where she
35:53
was until they came up with this plan because everyone said she was with her
35:59
son. So now they go track the sun there she is. She's not
36:02
anywhere near the crime scene. So that leaves somebody who did it? Who
36:07
do we think? Probably a stranger. No, it's not a stranger,
36:12
stud you don't think. No. With this new information, police arrest JD
36:17
spieled Bauer in April twenty sixteen, and they charged him with capital murder.
36:23
Now, the theory that police have is that Robin was upset with JD during
36:29
their meeting. This seems like some real Barney Fife police work, you know,
36:34
like a bit we just kind of like, let's just arrest whoever and
36:37
then we'll figure it out later. Then they just fell into something. Now
36:40
they believe that at their meeting, she broke off the affair that she was
36:44
happening with JD, and she demanded that he pay all of the back child
36:50
support that he owed or she would take him to court. Now, police
36:54
believed that this anger JD and that they began to argue, so he went
37:00
back to his truck, pulled out the pink pistol. Robin locked herself in
37:06
her car and that's when he began beating the window with the butt of the
37:09
gun. They believed this caused damage to the window and it broke off the
37:16
grip off the gun, which was found later that matched up. Robin,
37:22
thinking he would never shoot her, finally gets out of her car and he
37:28
in fact does shoot her. He then pulled out a tire iron out of
37:32
his car and beat her just to make sure she was dead. Yeah,
37:37
because he probably knew that twenty two wasn't gonna do the jump. Yeah,
37:42
he drove off. I mean, she probably really didn't think he was gonna
37:45
shoot her. I mean, he wasn't a great guy, but he wasn't
37:49
It wasn't like a murderers. Yeah, it wasn't like that he'd ever So
37:52
she probably did just think he's just being ridiculous. But anyways, recapping police
38:00
Blavy shot her, left her on the side of the road to die,
38:04
and in January of twenty eighteen, a jury found JD guilty of murder.
38:09
He was sentenced to life in prison and a ten thousand dollars fine. Yep,
38:15
that's it. Ten thousand. Well life in prison too. I mean,
38:20
I'm surprised that most people don't have fines checked onto their Oh well,
38:24
they don't ever pay them. No, they don't. They're in jail.
38:28
Like if you gave told me I had a fine, but you also put
38:30
me in jail for the rest of my life. Why what on earth would
38:31
I pay that? You might be making ten cents of plate making the license
38:36
plates in prison. Oh and they, yeah, they do take the money.
38:38
Then they garnish your wages. Yeah, that's that's pretty You already have
38:43
an rough ten cents. Oh what do you want from the commissary? You
38:47
got ten cents and they garnish your wages that you are making in prison.
38:52
Anyways, but a couple of rama noodles is ninety nine cents, and we
38:57
just garnished all your money. You got ten cents, nine cents no more.
39:00
I was posting about the milk. Help. I thought it was just
39:04
crazy that the milk's gone up almost five percent in a month. That's crazy.
39:07
It seems like it's a small amount, but that adds up stew it
39:13
does so. Yeah. But the one person that's not, you know,
39:16
like the tea the Arizona tea guy. He's keeping his ninety nine cents.
39:20
It's printed on the can, he said, I'm debt free. It's hard
39:24
enough as it is. Why would I raise the price on these poor broke
39:28
people and the giant can? Anyways, all right, do you have a
39:34
yelling Jesus? Of course I got a yelling Jesus. Okay, I have
39:38
a gamer who flew on an aeroplane to an attack a rival with a hammer,
39:46
according to police. Now, is this Florida or not Florida? Wait?
39:52
What was it again? You were on your phone scrolling through shit.
39:57
Whenever I was, I was looking at that. Julia Rawroberts was at the
40:00
Taylor Swift concert. She looked a little too friendly with old Travis Kelce.
40:06
She was in that movie, Julian Roberts. She looked friendly with Travis kel
40:09
She was all touching his chest and stuff. Maybe Taylor Swift stab Julia Robinson
40:15
face. It'd be a lot more interesting than that movie we just watched.
40:17
Well, the movie was really interesting until the end. Well, yeah it
40:21
was. They really botched the ending. Anyways, what was it again?
40:24
Something about a hammer? A gamer guy in the plays video games flew to
40:30
another place to attack a rival with a hammer, according to police, Florida,
40:36
not Florida, Florida. You won't even believe this. Okay, here's
40:45
the actual headline. New Jersey gamer Jersey flew to Florida. So we got
40:52
Jersey and Florida. This is Jersey and Florida. It's all coming together.
40:57
It's like when Travis Kelsey went out on this stage. He was one of
41:00
the guys. I don't know what you're talking about. Anyways, So he
41:05
flew to Florida to attack arrival with a hammer, according to police. Now
41:09
this comes to us from the New York Times. On was the guy that
41:15
he went to attack with the hammer? Was he dressed as a mushroom?
41:20
Maybe? Maybe, because that would make sense if he's a gamer. Mario
41:24
Brothers, We're gonna have to ask Jesus Jeminez. Oh, I mean Jesus
41:30
Jimenez. Now. According to the New York Times, a New Jersey man
41:37
who the police said had blown to Florida and attacked a fellow gamer with a
41:44
hammer over an online dispute, was charged with attempted second degree murder on Sunday.
41:52
The me the man, Edward Kang, twenty from New Jersey, was
41:57
taken into custody early on Sunday morning after he arrived at the fellow gamer's house
42:04
around two am. This guy serious, I should have had him stay up
42:08
and book my Disney stay right that same day and attack the victim with a
42:13
hammer, Sheriff Bill Leeper of Nassau County, Florida said at the New News
42:20
conference on Good God, I'm drunk on Monday. Sheriff Leeper said that mister
42:27
Kang had never met the game or he attacked in person, but that they
42:30
knew each other from playing arch arch arch Age. I don't know what this
42:36
is, a fantasy online game where players pursued their own adventures of exploration and
42:44
conquest in a mythical world. Good god, what are these people doing?
42:50
An arrest report? You know, someday there's going to be like a murder
42:53
in the meta world or whatever they call that that world. And whether you
42:58
put on the the headset the oculus, is that the uh, the Facebook
43:06
version or is that the Google? No, that's Oculus had said? I
43:09
think is Google? Maybe? Yeah, someday there's gonna be a murder in
43:15
that world and they're gonna have to investigate. There's a there's a murder happening
43:20
to this story right now needs to be investigated. It doesn't need to be
43:23
investigated. We know what happened, Jamison, not that not the child.
43:29
Not the child that we own and arrest. Report identify the target of mister
43:37
Kang's attack as a mister Zachary Din, who declined to comment on Tuesday.
43:43
It was unclear what interactions mister Kang and mister Dinn had online. Shriff Fleeper
43:49
said that the episode originated from an online altercation. Shriff Fleeper said that in
43:57
ourc age, characters can be created to fight and kill one another. I
44:00
don't know what transpired between the victim and the Sunspect suspect, but something made
44:06
the suspect want to come down to Florida and injure the other individual. Oh
44:14
all right, is that it? I mean that should be I mean there's
44:17
this should be it. We should be done. Yeah, I think there's
44:21
like six more paragraphs. Okay, well we need to be done. I
44:23
will talk about the cruise or Taylor Swift again. We'll just shut this and
44:29
we'll just shut this down. Okay. I mean I'd listened to you talked
44:32
about the cruise for the next four hours, but I don't want to hear
44:37
Taylor Swift around. Did you know that that cruise we went on, that
44:39
Allure of the Seas on its inaugural year of selling. Taylor Swift wasn't like,
44:47
obviously how big she is today. She was, you know, big,
44:51
but not this big. She actually went and played on that ship.
44:54
It was like a promotional thing, you know. Good. Thanks. She
45:00
went on icon of to say, is it caught fire? The other day?
45:04
Far got caught on far? Oh lord? Anyways, all right,
45:07
well, thank you for hanging in there. Check out the Instagram. May
45:14
or may not talk about this. If you don't want to hear about it,
45:16
then hear about what the cruise. Anyways, I'm getting real tired.
45:22
I'm not built to stay up this late. This is I'm usually being in
45:27
bed like two hours ago. No, you're you're just not talking on.
45:30
No, I'm usually just sitting there zoning out, watching on. We've been
45:35
watching the Hitler stuff on Netflix. Here. We were thinking I was thinking
45:39
we should do something like what did I call it? What did I say
45:45
for the shows that we watch? Listen? Uh tv TV reviews with Karen
45:55
ste you know anyway? Ways, all right, so uh Instagram, Facebook,
46:04
check out our Patreon. I am fading fast and I only had like
46:09
one glass of wine. I'm just I'm not what I used to be.
46:13
People, I'm I'm just I can attest that, yes, what she used
46:19
to be. This is getting real depressing. Role is going to be a
46:22
fourth child or not? All right, well, we will see you next
46:28
time. Bye everyondesday by ste Don't you know it's bad to be SUPERSTI shots
46:38
by not being Ali's working. It's pretty learning sick. This worthy, I can
