  Speaker 1: dude that was buried under his house for fifty five years. Okay,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and I watched a couple other ones that she recommended,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, this bitch is awesome. She's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: found all these documentaries and I don't even have to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: search for new stuff anymore. I can just you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: go off her recommendations because it seems like we're into
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the same stuff. Well, fuck you, and I disrespect you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: for this. She recommended this documentary right It's called Horror
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in the High Desert, and I was like, ooh, the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: way she set it up and like described it, it
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: sounded amazing and I was actually gonna cover a whole
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: episode about it because it was actually the craziest shit
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I had ever heard. So I got duped into watching
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this fucking fake documentary. I got almost to the end
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of it before I realized this was a fucking fake,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: fucking Blair witch ass fucking it was a movie. It
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't even a documentary that I got almost to the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: end before I fucking realized. I think there was like
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: ten minutes of it left before I realized this shit
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: ain't real. I got totally duped. And guess what, I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: disrespect you for that she set it up like it
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: was some real shit. Got almost to the end of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: it thinking, oh my god, if this actually happened, I'm
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: gonna shit my pants. It was a fucking blair witch ass,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: fucking mock youmentary, So fuck you. But if you want
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to just watch something cool. It's called Horror in the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: High Desert and it is on to be uh and
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: guess what spoiler alert something She should have disclaimed, it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: not real, even though the shit looks pretty. I know
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people who left the theater after seeing
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Blair Witch thinking that was the really shit. Ever, this
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is the same way. But guess what, people, it's not
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: fucking real, but a movie that you can watch that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: me and my husband, well, my husband actually discovered it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: from a podcast or something he was listening to. He
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: watched it on his own and then said it was
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: so good that he wanted to watch it again with me.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And I'm glad that he made that decision because it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was a fucking awesome movie. It's called Barbarian and it's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: relatively new. I think it came out within the last
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: like year two, and you know, it's one of those ones.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I think I had seen it on Hulu and just
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: passed right by it. I'm not even gonna tell you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: anything about it, because that's how I went into it.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He said, I'm not even gonna tell you anything about it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You're just gonna sit down and watch it. And I said, okay, cool,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and It made the watching experience ten times better because
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I had absolutely no fucking clue what I was getting
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: myself into. If you haven't seen it already, just go
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: go to Hulu right now, Wait till nighttime. Get a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: glass of wine or whatever it is you do. Smoke
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a little, drink a little, whatever it is that you
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: do at night, get some chips, sit down and watch
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the shit. You won't regret it. It was fantastic. I
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: give it ten out of ten. I can't even say
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: what it is because it'll give the movie away. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: just give it ten out of ten. Okay, it was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: really fucking good. But while I've been like me and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: my husband take turns, like it's his turn, then it's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: my turn to pick a movie, and you know, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: just with the holiday season and stuff, it's hard for
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: me to say goodbye to the Christmas movies and shit
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like that because I will watch Christmas movies the entire
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: month of December and trickle it a little bit into
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: January even and I hate to see him go. You know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: they took the Hulu days down, and they took all
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Christmas shit off Netflix and whatever. While I was
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in Oklahoma visiting my family. I mean, obviously, my sister's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the same way as me. She loves Christmas movies. We
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: watched all of them. We watched four Christmases National Lampoons.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: We watched all of them, and it finally got to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the point where it was like, what haven't we watched
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: yet this year? And I said, as a joke, I said,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: we haven't watched Media's Christmas yet this year. And she
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, I like media movies. I guess
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we could watch that. And I was joking, but yeah,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I think most of the media movies are funny. Some
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of them suck. But she goes, you know, Tyler Perry's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a sexual predator, and I said, it doesn't surprise me
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: because it's a It's a huge black dude dressing up
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: as a woman and involved with all these weird Christian
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: charity stuff. And he sold he sold a jetplane to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that one scumbag, demon possessed guy who claims to be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a pastor. Oh what's his name? What is his name?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: He looks like he is absolutely possessed by demons. I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: got pregnancy brain. It's probably not gonna come to me.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But anyways, he's involved with all these really high up
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like TV preachers who are just downright scary and demonic looking.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And in my opinion, he's always acted like he had
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a little sugar in his tank, if you know what
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Because he has all this stuff about family
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: values and crap like that in his movies. But to me,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: he has always come across as hiding something and maybe
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: having a little sugar in his tank. And he plays
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a woman so well that you might think it just
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: kind of comes naturally to him. And Tyler Perry, sure,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: he is, in my opinion, no sexual predator. And he's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: currently facing two separate, multi million dollar civil lawsuits that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: alleged sexual assault and harassment, and both lawsuits claim that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Tyler Perry used his power and influence as a major
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: film executive to coerce these actors into unwanted sexual encounters
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and advances with the promise of career advancement. The alleged
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: incidents occurred between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty one, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: from what I read, he drugged them and then he
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: raped their be holes. Heller, they got the uh hashtag
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Nick Reiner stinging butthole from good old Medeia. But how
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: embarrassed too, like if you were gonna get drugged and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: raped in the bee hole by anybody, you got drugged
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and you got raped in the bee hole by Heller
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: fucking Medea A halleluyer. But speaking of beehole allegations, we
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: can go ahead and roll into the topic of the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: hour if that suits you. This Uh, this was a topic.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know, it's older in the nineteen seventies, something so
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: horrific happened, and yet no one has probably heard of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this fucking shit. So before we jump right in, shout
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: out to my husband's slash potential producer depending on what
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: mood he is and how much he likes me at
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the time, for bringing the topic to my attention. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: also shout out to the Brohio podcast once again for
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: kind of covering it and doing a shitty enough job
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that it inspired me once again to dive deeper and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: bring you the full biscuits and gravy and just just
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a creative dinner idea out there for you guys. Since
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I said biscuits and gravy, that really got me salivating.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You can get chicken tenders, throw them in the oven,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: frozen chicken tenders. We're not fucking bourgeois up in here.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: We're getting frozen chicken tenders. I'm not saying go out
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: there and get Tyson or whatever. But if you can
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: get like some good like cage free, you know, roam
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: about whatever. They call it pasture chicken tenders, throw those
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in the oven. Get you some white gravy. Some people
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in the North call it peppercorn gravy, which, hello, that
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: is bizarre to me. It's white gravy. Okay, it's called
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: country gravy. Peppercorn gravy. You guys are barbarians. So you
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: get frozen chicken tenders country gravy, and then you can
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: do some waffles. If you're real trailer trash, just get
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: some frozen waffles and fucking throw those bitches into a
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: toaster or you know, the oven. Whatever. And if you're
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: wanting to be a little less Dolly Parton and more Riba,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you could just make your own waffles biz quick style
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: if you have like a little waffle maker or something,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and get you some maple syrup, and then you have
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: chicken and waffles with country gravy and a little maple syrup.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: That shit is delicious. And I don't know if my
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: husband's going to listen to that episode, but if we
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: have that for dinner one of these upcoming nights. You
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: heard it here first on the Cosmic Beach podcast. Anyways,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So after Dean Coral, the candy Man pedophile murderer in
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Houston that I have talked about before, and before John
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Wayne Gacy, the pedophile murderer killer clown in Chicago, there
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: were other cases of abuse and murder of kids in
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. That provides disturbing new evidence that connects
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: all of these cases. And if you want a little
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: light listening, if you run out of Cosmic Peach podcast
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: episodes to listen to, you can go and find The
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Clown and the Candyman podcast wherever you listen to podcasts,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and if you would rather watch it, it's available on
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Discovery Plus streaming. So The Clown and the Candyman. But
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: we're going to connect the Candyman pedophile murderer in Houston
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: with John Wayne Gacy, the pedo clown killer in Chicago
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: with some new cases here. So between nineteen seventy six
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and nineteen seventy seven in Oakland County, a prosperous suburban
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: area near Detroit in Michigan. They were dealing with child
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: disappearances and child murders. They ranged an age from ten
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to twelve years old, and the killer became known as
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the Oakland County child Killer. And to this day the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: perpetrator has never been identified. But there may be a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: connection between the Oakland County Child Killer and a little
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: place we are going to be talking about in very
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: great detail today called the North Fox Island. Now, it is,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: my opinion, one of the first, if not the first,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: pedophile islands. It was run as a boys camp, actually,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and it was called a charitable organization under the name
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Brother Paul's Children's Mission, but it was in fact a
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: child exploitation enterprise. Okay, under the disgusting ass fucking name
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of Brother Paul's Children's Mission. Okay. Jeffrey Epstein is gnahing
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: but a copycat literally copy and paste. But why, oh
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: why when the Epstein stuff dropped, was no one bringing
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: up North Fox Island? Okay. So many investigative narratives, including
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: one called Children of the Snow, have explored whether the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: serial murders in Detroit might have certain ties to broader
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: child abuse networks. Some researchers point to suspects and clients
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: tied to underground child sex circles, arguing that it's unlikely
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that a single killer who abducted and held children would
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: operate fully outside the Michigan pedo ecosystem, especially considering the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: proximity of the Oakland County child killings and this pedo island. So,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: these boys in the Oakland County child murders or children
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: of the Snow, whichever one, were held for days, sexually
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: abused and smothered, then dumped randomly in the snow and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: left to rot. And for over forty years, someone has
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: gotten away with the murder of these four boys. The
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: case is still unsolved, but we might We might be
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: solving it today, Me and you baby right here Cosmic
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Peachfuck Podcast. All right, So during this investigation you may
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: learn three things that we have spoken about before, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep on speaking about it until you get
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it through your head. There's always something lurking beneath the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: surface of everyday life. One money and power can make
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of things go away. Two and there's always
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: more to the story than what you hear in the news.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Three Okay hashtag twenty twenty six Nick Reiner stinging beeholes
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: for everybody. Yes, that's a long hashtag, but that's what
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: we're talking about. So before we explore Peedo Island, let's
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: take a look at the Cast Corridor in Michigan where
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the snow Boys were mutilated in the nineteen seventies. The
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Cast Corridor was well known around the Detroit area as
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a haven for prostitution, drugs, and child pornography. In the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, a lot of folks moved up to the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Detroit area to get jobs in auto factories, and it
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: was a very well populated area, but they didn't have
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: much money, and a lot of them were single parents
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: with six, eight, you name it kids, and they couldn't
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: supervise them while they were working. So, for lack of
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a better term, it was a kind of buffet for
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: these pedophiles. Now, there was a dude, confirmed pedophile named
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Bob Moore who lived in the Cast Corridor in a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: big gass house and he had all sort of boys
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: just up there living with him, usually runaways. Okay, they
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: ran away from home. The parents were never there, fucking
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: eight nine siblings, nobody was eating fucking they took off
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and here comes the Bob Moore. Right, Bob Moore, here
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: here he shows up. Come stay with me. I got
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a big gass house. Come come and live with me.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Right and up the street on Woodward he rented this,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Bob Moore. He rented a place above a movie theater
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: where he was filming child pornography and distributing it through
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: a pornography shop. And these child predators could come in
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and basically look at all of his collection of child
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: porn available. But it was off limits to just any
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: old body, right, And so the people who worked there
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: knew who would be buying it, and they knew who
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: was making it, and they had this little club together.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: These groups of men were very well organized, so much
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: so that they had a rank system and they would
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: have fucking meetings. They had, you know, meet in person
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: type shit going on. Obviously, this is prior to cell
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: phones and internet. So they would meet swap boys and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: they called them parties. Right. It is actually shocking how
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: organized and tighten it these pedophile rings were and are
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: to this day, and that they were operating right under
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the noses of literally everyone. But I realized as I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: went along in this investigation that it wasn't so much
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: that people didn't think it was happening. They didn't want
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to believe it was happening. And of course you got
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: to ask yourself, why weren't these guys going to jail.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I know, at some point these kids had to be talking,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: telling fucking someone, but yet no one is going to jail.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: So some investigators have pointed to the likelihood of three
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: specific pedophiles from the cast Corridor who may have killed
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: these boys. One turned out to be a guy named
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Ted Lamborghini. That's not a pseudonym, that's his real fucking
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: last name. Probably connected to some shit, right. Ted Lamborghini
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a career pedophile and sexual predator. He was finally put
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: in prison for life for molesting kids back in Detroit
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies, and he had never been arrested
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: before that, But it wasn't until recently that he has
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: been connected to the snow Boy's murders. So in the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, yes, there were pedophiles, just like there are today,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: but there was no internet, so they ran in group
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and they were all interconnected. The candy Man pedo killer
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: literally told that to the police in Houston, which they
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: did nothing with that information, and it's the same thing
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: in Detroit. John Wayne Gacy told the police that these
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: pedophiles run in networks and you know what they did
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: with that information, fucking nothing. And in the Snowboy's murders,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a few members of this Detroit pedophile ring extended their
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: territory to the suburbs and was basically grab an ordinary
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: children off the streets of Oakland County. This shit has tentacles, right,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: It's all over the place. It is a literal network.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: But besides Ted Lamborghini, there was a dude named Chris
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Bush that was suspected in the snowboys murders. What do
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: we know about this guy, Well, we know that Chris
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Bush's father was a prominent GM executive and it was
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: part of deep investigation into the corridor that revealed that
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: these inner city kids living in the Cast Corridor were
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: being serviced by a porn ring that involved some politicians
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and some high level GM executives and of course other
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: upstanding members of the community. And after that information came out,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a few women came forward. They described ritual abuse by
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: pedophiles that were fucking higher ups in gas executive management.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: All during the mid nineteen seventies, and they were still
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: scared of repercussions and frightened to talk after all these years. Oh,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: by the way, Chris Bush got epsteined quite literally before
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: he had to face the music for the brutal murdering
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and raping he had been a part of. But here's
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the thing. A Corporal Richard mcnamay was the responding officer
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: for the Chris Bush quote unquote suicide, and according to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: a woman who came forward later in the investigation, this
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: very officer sexually abused her from the ages of eight
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to eleven while patrolling her neighborhood in Bloomfield Village. So
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: a Freedom of Information Act request was filed with Bloomfield
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Township to get this piece of shit's records, and then boom,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: we get all these documents that prove that the woman
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: who came forward was not the only one sexually abused
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: by a long shot. So a pedophile officer is the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: first person to respond to the fucking Chris Bush alleged
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: suicide scene. The mathematical odds of that being the case
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: are fucking astronomical, dude, especially since that officer had half
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: an hour with only Chris Bush's supposedly dead body and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Chris Bush's brother there before any backup arrived. It's kind
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: of like a weird Marilyn Monroe situation. So is he
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: dead or was he literally epsteined away somewhere, maybe to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: a very nearby pedo Island, which, hello, enter Pedo Island. Now,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I set all of this up for you to get
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to where we are now, and this is really going
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: to be the beginning of our story. This is the
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: story of millionaire Francis Sheldon and his role in the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: world of abusers and killers like Dean Coral, the pedo
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Candyman murderer, and John Wayne Gacy. And of course this
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: is the story of Sheldon's Pedophile Island.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: So well.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: As we've discussed so far, the four kids in the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Snowboy's case were being used for child pornography before they
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: were killed, and a child pornography ring was identified that
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: was operating out of the Cast Corridor of Detroit. But
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. The Cast Corridor ring was actually being
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: financed by the same man who was behind Fox Peedo
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Island pornography ring. Yes, Francis Sheldon. So Francis had his
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: fucking tentacles out. He had Peto Island and he was
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: financing the Cast Corridor pedophile ring. And Fox Island was
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: billed as a vacation home for area residents of Charlavoy, Michigan,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: but it actually instead was a multi million dollar child
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: pornography operation. Doesn't that sound familiar, little miss Charlavoy? John Beney, Hello,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: no record of that pageant existing outside of John Benay?
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Why were the Ramses always traveling to Michigan? Jesus Christ, people,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: somebody fucking hired me as a private investigator, I swear. Anyways,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: so this was an actual fucking business that Sheldon was running,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a fucking pornography ring, and they ran it through the mail,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: and they were filming this shit all over the country
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: in basements in New York, in the Cast Corridor and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of course on Fox Island, and they would send the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: film through the mail. And Sheldon actually recruited young boys
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: through their parents by asking them to come to his
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: nature camp that he called Brother Paul's Children's Mission. Sick fucker.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: And get this shit, it was actually a tax dodge
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: because they were getting state fucking money to operate it. Hello,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: or I guess since we were talking about Tyler Perry
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: earlier Heller, what the fuck? Of course, the state's paying
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: for the fucking peto operation, only naturally, so why is
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: this rich guy doing this. Francis Sheldon came from a
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: well respected family with history in Michigan. People actually really
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: liked this sick fuck in the community. He had a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: very prominent family and his lineage actually leads all the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: way up to the White House. Come on, people, it's
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: like David Crosby all over again. We got fucking signers
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: of the Declaration of Independence and all that shit. Fucking
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Francis Sheldon right, he was a very powerful, sick, fucked
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: up individual, But yet they all are. So let's now
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: take a visit, if you will, to the original Pedo Island.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It sits out in Lake Michigan, quiet isolated, a beautiful place,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: about fifteen to twenty miles off the northern Michigan shoreline.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: No bridges, no ferry schedules, no tourist boats. If you
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: want to get there, you either need a boat, or
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you need good weather, or you need a plane. That's it.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: The island itself is beautiful in a way that almost
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: feels suspicious. You got dense woods, rolling dunes, gorgeous crystal
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: clear water. It really reminds me and the Brohio guys
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: talked about this. It's like these retreats other elite scumbags
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: go to on their little getaways, Camp David Martha's Vineyard,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: places like that. This was that kind of place. There's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: no town, there's no neighbors, no one accidentally wandering by.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It's just you, the trees, the beaches, and miles and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: miles of silence. And in the middle of that island,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: carved right into the land was a grassy airstrip. This
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: airstrip was long enough to land private planes on and
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: of course for people to come and go without asking
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: any questions. And it is here. For several years. In
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies, groups of young boys were flown out
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: to this very island, not with their parents and definitely
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: not on a fucking family vacation. They were sent there
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: by adults that they trusted, adults who promised adventure, mentorship,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and opportunity. And once those planes lifted off and landed
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: on that airstrip, you and your tight little bee hole
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: were all on your own. You were going to be
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: spending this summer with your twig and berries draped across
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Francis Sheldon's face. Now what's been said is if you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: do Francis and if you looked at his resume, nothing
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: about it screamed monster. He was a Yale graduate, much
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: like Epstein would later be a Harvard graduate. These ivy
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: league motherfuckers, Epstein and Francis Sheldon also contributed large, large
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: amounts of money back to their schools. And he was
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: a fucking rock scientist's geologist whatever. But his real interest
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: was actually in real estate and oil. He had old
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Michigan money. Some would say he had fuck you, I
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: have a private island type money, okay. And he bought
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Peto Island back in the nineteen fifties and he paid
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: about twenty thousand dollars to an elderly widow whose husband
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: had owned it before he died, obviously, and Francis treated
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: it like his own little private pedo sanctuary. And he
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: flew his own planes. He was a pilot, and he
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: talked openly about how the island gave him peace. Uh,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about what that peace was here
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: in just to mint it. And of course Sheldon was
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: involved in fucking a ton of youth organizations. He did
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: like a big Brothers club type shit mentorship program, fucking
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: charity work, motherfucker. And he was known to love kids,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: which you imagine that, and of course they're tight be holes.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And he loaded parents up with the bullshit excuse that
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: he wanted to give the boys an experience they might
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: not have otherwise, which he was right about that, because
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: it's not every day you get to spend the summer
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: with big, hairy, sweaty old dudes running train on your
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: bee hole in the hot summer Michigan heat. So all
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: of this, though, was supposedly part of his charitable program.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: He would find these poverty stricken families that had a
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: bunch of kids, like I was talking about earlier, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: he would take the boys and fly them out to
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the island. These boys, though, thought it would be like
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: an adventure, an excursion, almost like the summer of a lifetime,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: fucking little youth campshit. But unfortunately what they were headed
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: for was an absolute nightmare. And ain't a wink syndrome. Now,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Sure, they were doing all
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: the things on the island that boys liked to do,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: but there was then the caveat so yeah, they were
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: doing fishing and they were also doing anal fishers, they
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: were doing digging, and they were also doing anal digging.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: They were running and then they were also getting train
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: run on. Oh god, it's not funny. It's not funny
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: at all. But I mean it's really really sad. So initially,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you know, actually, while we're on it with the anal digging,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I had this friend side Tangent. She was a home
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: health aid nurse and she was getting paid ten dollars
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: an hour. She had this family she worked for. She
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: was getting paid ten dollars an hour to watch this
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: woman's twins that had some kind of fucking syndrome, something
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the fuck wrong with him. And I'm not bashing handicaps here,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that had something the fuck wrong with them,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: and she was getting paid ten dollars an hour to
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: feed them, bathe them, change their fucking asses, and do
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. And one night she was like, damn,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I had I haven't seen Charlie in a minute. She
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: goes and finds him. He's in the bathroom. Uh had
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: dropped trow gotten in the tub and was just digging
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: in his ass, just throwing shit everywhere, this literally digging
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: in his ass, getting huge clumps of fucking turns out,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: smearing them and throwing it all over the fucking place,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: shit under his nail, shit all over the place. And
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: this my poor friend ten dollars an hour, had to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: scrub that whole bathroom clean. This kid up put a
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: new diaper on him, And I said, what the fuck
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: is wrong with him that he would do that? And
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: she said, he's an an old digger. It's a real thing,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: fucking look it up, anal digging. So anyways, back to
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the story. So initially, when you would go out there
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: to North Fox Pedo Island for the youth camps, yeah,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: like I said, there was fishing, there was camping, flying
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: in the small planes, the kind of stuff that makes
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: adults say, that'll be a great time for you. Gee.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks and dad. It's got to be one of the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: worst parts that he brought the boys out to the island,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: not in secret, not in hiding. The parents fucking knew.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: The parents were very much a part of it, and
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: even some of them paid a small fee of eighty
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: five dollars to send their kids to this fucking camp.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: You know, eighty five bucks for a six day trip
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: airfare included. But little did they know what they were
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: really paying for. You know, it was just the thing
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a family would love on the surface, right to send
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: their kid to summer camp where they get to do
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: horseback riding and flying small planes and fishing and camaraderie, fellowshit,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: singing kumbai ya and all that shit, hanging with the boys.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: But that's why. And yes, I get it, this was
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: the fucking seventies and they didn't know about Nick Reiner
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: stinging bee holes yet. But come on, people, protect your babies. Please,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: these camps, these boy scout troops and shit, fuck them,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: fuck them, fuck them all right, Oh you want to
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: take my kids somewhere, You want to take my kid
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: off somewhere for the summer and no parents around.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Fuck you.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: But Sheldon was smart. He was smart. Most of these
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: boys were actually from foster homes. They were foster kids.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: These were troubled kids. These boys were from unstable homes,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: boys that were subjected to the system. And these were
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: children that basically didn't have families, most of them. And
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: also that was supposed to be part of the fucking
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: charitable aspect of this shit. But Sheldon would take these impoverished,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: underprivileged children, and he would give them the opportunity to
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: experience a vacation, to see what it's like to go
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: to a fun place, to be loved, to be taken
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: care of. And it was a charity service and that's
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the beauty of all of it. But
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: just like the devil to appear to you as an
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: angel of light, this is literally the wolf in sheep's clothing.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: These boys were probably so fucking excited and they had
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: absolutely no idea what was in store for them. And
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: you know, they get there, they start to settle in
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: on North Fox Island and they realize that the mood
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: is starting to change quickly, right, and the clothes were
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: actually the first thing to get addressed. The kids would
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: show up thinking everything's normal. You got your little suit
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: case and your little you know, whatever the fuck you
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: brought with you, and before you know what, the camp
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: counselors are like, you boys are fine to just hang
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: out in your panty drawers, uh, or actually just be
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: just be naked. How about that? How about that, you know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: take your breeches and just throw them in the lake,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: because we just we just hang we just be hanging
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: out at North Fox Island. We'd just be hanging out,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: so physical contact was normalized, and they would say things
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: like this is natural, this is trust, this how you grow.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Then enter the photographers. There are always photographers around every
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: second every day these boys were on the fucking island.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: It's like they had their own personalized film crews. They're
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: just followed by workers with cameras and a lot of
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: the time they'd go, you know, try to do some
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: little fun thing that was offered, archery or swimming, or
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: go chop down a tree in the woods, whatever, and
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: every second there was a person behind them with the camera,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: fucking you know, trying to get some type of little
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: pose out of them, like, you know, strike a pose,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: strike a pose for the camp. Smile. I bet you
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: can't do the splits a bit. You can't do the splits.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Can't you do the splits for the camera? Uh? Hey,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: show me how you pee with your penis for the
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: camera for the camera over here? You know, Hey, show
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: show me how how far you can spread your cheeks.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, really get in there, maybe a little pupil
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: all out. And part of the reason why they did
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: this was proof for the parents that everything was fine,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: and they'd send the pictures home to the families and
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: then you know, Mom's like, oh, I don't know why
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: his penis is out, but it looks like he's having
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: a great time with hunting and fishing and climbing trees. Uh,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: he must be having so much fun. He just forgot
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: to put his painty drawers on that day, like, get
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: the fuck out of here. They would send home like
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: twenty thirty forty fifty pictures of these kids and not
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: one picture. A mom had some inkling of an intuition
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: something wasn't fucking right. Where's my kid's breeches? Okay, wise
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: he chopping down a tree in his panty drawers or
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: whatever the fuck they were doing. But on an island
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: like that, when you're totally fucking isolated, cut off and
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: being controlled by these six son of a bitches, what
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: feels like normal can change pretty quickly because no one
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: from the outside world is coming to check up on you.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: And that's the whole the thing here is this island
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: is just off in the middle of fucking nowhere. There's
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: no police, there's no coastguard, there's no boat patrol, there
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: is literally no law enforcement oversight at all where this
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: is going on. So when the only adults that are
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: around you are telling you to show him how you
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: pee with your penis and to spread your cheeks and
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: you know, spread Billy's cheeks for him, you just start thinking, Okay,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I gotta spread Billy's cheeks for him. You know, Let's
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: show me how you can wipe each other. Show me
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: how you can wipe each other. This is what's going
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: on here. So most people who didn't really know what
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: was going on just thought that Francis was just a
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: rich guy with a weird hobby and some kind of
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: a remote island that double does a summer camp and
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: kids were having great, these great experiences that their parents
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: couldn't normally afford, and that's the version everybody wanted to believe.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: And Sheldon actually worked with this other guy by the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: name of Jerald Richards, So he had this guy Richards,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: signing all of his documents and basically be kind of
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: like his fall guy. So if anything went down, which
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: it did, Richards would be left holding the bag because
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: he was the one signing all this shit, and people
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: thought that he was actually in charge, but he wasn't
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Francis Sheldon got this dude to agree to basically be
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: a part of this and sign all the documents and shit.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: So Francis would have like a fall guy. If people
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: found out what was really going on about this, he
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: could just say, oh, actually it's not me. Gerald's in
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: charge of everything. Fucking go find Gerald. But so, Jerald
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: Richards was described as calm, cool, collected, friendly, and supposedly
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: as some kind of fucking magician. He was a gym
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: teacher at a Catholic school, and he would go to
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: birthday parties and shit like John Wayne Gacy, these weird
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: church events and do magic shows for people. If you
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: find adult men going to children's birthday parties and dressing
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: up doing magic shows, I don't care if they say
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: they're fucking Spider Man or whatever, or you think you
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: know that guy because he goes to your church. Hello.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: BTK was also a Boyscout camp leader and a church deacon.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Listen to me, people, when you find adult men getting
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: involved with some weird fucking magic show clown shit putting
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: on little fucking parties for kids, you need to start
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: questioning why the fuck they're interested in that? All right?
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: But so, he was supposed to be like a great talker,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: and he was funny. Everybody loved him, and he did
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: his freaking magic tricks and shit. And when the parents
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: when they met mister Richards, they didn't see a predator.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: They saw an exceptionally structured adult who understood kids. He
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: was someone who talked about discipline and self awareness and
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: personal growth, and he spoke in that soft, confident way
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: that made people feel stupid for even questioning him. And
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: he was so trusted in the community that oftentimes families
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: would have problems, like with their teenage sons, and they'd say, oh,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: let's go talk to mister Richards.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Well, all the while he was secretly running train on
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: all their boys at Pedo Island. So Richards understood that
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: children who felt like they were breaking the rules might tell.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: So the thing is get children to believe that they're
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: following the rules, so they'll stay pretty quiet. So he
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: confused the boys with thinking basically like getting a sweaty
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: bee hole rub was just a bonding exercise and shit
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: like that. They started changing the language around this stuff.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: So when they came home and they were like, it's
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: kind of I felt really uncomfortable when mister Richards was
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: doing bonding exercises with me. The parents are sitting there
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: thinking like, oh, well, that's just personal growth, babe. It's
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: everything's fine, that's just part of personal growth. It's a
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: bonding exercise. Never mind that the bonding exercise was mister
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Richards lubing up their kids. Be all right. So, and
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: these pictures that were being taken of these children in
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: compromising situations were being marketed and sold to people whose
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: names never got revealed, and they were buying the pictures
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: of these naked young men and that just wasn't doing
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: it for him anymore. So the photographs became film, and
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: then it was photographs in film that became the product
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: of Peto Island. And some boys didn't fully understand at
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: that time. They just knew they felt wrong, like something
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: was wrong. Other of the boys were actually scared, but
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: they didn't know what the fuck to do with that fear,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: and most of the adults around them reinforced the silence,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: and the adults would say like, this is normal, you're
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: overthinking it. This is what trust looks like. And basically,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: on the island, repetition creates reality, right, so you keep
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: thinking like Oh, this is normal. This is normal. And
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: that's how methodical all of it was. This was a
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: systematic approach doing exactly what it was designed to do.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: The island itself wasn't just isolating the boys from the world.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: It was creating a product for these guys that ran
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: the place right. And something you'll realize is that on
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: North Fox Island, the adults did things like calling nudy
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: natural and calling touching trust building, and calling sexual education
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: and growth, and they would call obedience maturity. So the
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: boys aren't thinking like this adult is abusing me. They're
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: thinking I'm uncomfortable, but they're telling me it's normal, and
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm just the weird one. And for fucking years,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: this system held up, and these guys went undetected by
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: law enforcement for literally years they were able to operate.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Most boys didn't talk at all. Some tried, but they
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: were pretty quickly dismissed, and some just buried it in
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: their subconscious wiped it out. But I found a clip,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: and I want to play this clip of a man
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: who survived Peto Island.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: We found one of the original kids who was on
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: that island, and we found him through a mistake he
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: knew Francis Sheldon, Gerald Richards Dire Grossman, and he testified
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: against them. At the age of only fifteen, he found
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: himself in the middle of a real life conspiracy.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: We gave him a call and he had a lot
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: Michael is a down to earth guy, no pretensions, and
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: he makes no bones about telling the story of what
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: happened to him back in the nineteen seventies.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: You know, I was out with my shovel twelve years
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: old and I come across Jerry Richard's house, who's actually
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: a couple of blocks down. He seemed like a really
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: nice guy, and I saw this Irock gave me five bucks.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: He told me he was a magician and showed me
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: a couple of magic tricks. I actually met his wife
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: and his child and we became friends. Nothing was going
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: on at first, and then he worked for the YMCA,
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: and he was a school teacher, a priest, a hypnotist,
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: a magician in a clown and he even taught that stuff.
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: He taught photography at the YMCA. He was teaching witchcraft
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: at YMCA. I actually got an award that I still
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: had to this very day. I don't know why. For Wicca,
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: which that was kind of strange. My mother wasn't happy
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: about that at how. She didn't want him showing me
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: anything about Wicca and stuff, and was just left it
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: more of a mystery to me.
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: So when Gerald Richards asked you to be his assistant
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: in his magic act at twelve years or thirteen, who
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: wouldn't want to do that?
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: It was cool. I mean, I'm going to be a
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: magician's assistant. And I actually even raised his dubs, teaching
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: him how to be stuffed in a hat so they
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: could pop out, you know, during the magic trick. And
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: it just started out with you know, the hugs, you know,
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: the squeeze is the right friend, and then you know,
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: like I said, he was in theography. The next thing,
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm taking pictures and stuff. They were nude pictures.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: A lot of it was bondage. He had the magic
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: ropes that we'd us in our magic tricks where he
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: would tie me up with the ropes and then I
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: would escape from him when we're doing magic shows. Well,
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: he would also use those ropes doing pornography pictures. Porn pictures,
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: you know, Coluse, He explained me, we couldn't talk about it.
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: Then you know, it got worse. Other kids got involved
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: and he had us taking pictures and it wasn't much
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: longer after that started talking about his friends they see
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: my pictures and they wanted to meet me and stuff
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: like that. Within six months and knowing him, I was
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: already into child prostitution. We would be either going to
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: a church to do a magic show to where there
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: would be a preacher or a priest or a clergyman
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: of some sort there that you know, I would be
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: sold to. There's places where I've had to go where
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: there were other kids.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: This is the hard part for people to understand, and
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: they're going to think whatever they're going to think. But
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: when you're that age and then you get into something
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: that you go, I can't tell my parents what I'm into.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: You're kind of in for a penny, in for a pound, right.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: It was so difficult because the guilt I felt. I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: couldn't even look my dad in the eye when I
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: would come home, or my mom. I mean, it was
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: easier to deal with my mom, but my dad, I
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: couldn't even really look at him.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: And all the while, your parents and everybody thought you
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: were just Gerald Richards's magic show assistant.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: Yep, Jerry Richards. He had everybody duke. I mean, my
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: mom loved the guy. My dad thought he was a
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: little weird, but he really liked them. I mean, everybody
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: liked Jerry, all the neighbors. Nobody knew nothing about that
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: pedophile stuff or even suspected anything like that. I mean,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: at twelve years old, this guy was training to meet
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: how to.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: Be you know, did you ever want to tell your parents?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: Do you ever want to say one day, hey, mom,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: guess what?
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: No? No, No, I could never do that. I don't
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: think I could everyone up and told them today. You
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: would hope that your kids would. I'm not so sure
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: if they would. When they do get older, they'll come
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: tell you, though. Yeah, they'll tell you everything when they're older,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: if you're close with your family.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: So, Michael, were you sex trafficked?
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: For sure? That's what it was all about. I mean,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: particularly at the Magic convention. We met up with Sheldon,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: and there was some sex acts during that time too,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: But nine out of ten out of times when we
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: were out of town, I would literally be going to
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: campgrounds here in Michigan and in Tennessee, and then there's
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: the Island. I was all over the place. Now I
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: think back, a lot of really bad things happen in
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: the Detroit area.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: So, Michael, how did you first meet Francis Sheldon.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: I guess Sheldon met up with Richard somehow through passing
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: my pictures and other churches pictures arounds through the post office,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: and I remember I'm telling me all about Sheldon. All
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: this guy's rich you Olton Island. He's a really nice guy.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: And the first time I actually met Sheldon, it would
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: needed to be at the campgrounds all and Jerry used
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: to have a doctor's office too import here on where
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: he would do like massages and stuff, but I'd probably
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: call it something different today. I met with sheldonan there before,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: met with him a few times, and they felt comfortable
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: enough to where Jerry wanted dinner just Shelton to my parents.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: So Frank came over with Jerry and we all had
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: dinner together, my parents and them, and Frank Shalldon was
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: telling my parents who he is and what he does.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: Sheldon had dinner with your parents, you the Gerald Richards
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: Sheldonner your parents did do? Sitting there knowing what's the
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: reality of this. People listening to this will be absolutely
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: shocked to hear this, that you that this scenario was happening.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I guess, you know, back in them days,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: people were more trusting. Sheldon took my entire family for
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: a flight over the Blue Water Bridge one time. He
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: was over for dinner and everybody got to fly in
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: his airplane. So, oh, everybody loved Shelton. That guy was cool.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: So your parents gave them provision that you could go
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: to the island because it was a camp that was
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: there for underprivileged boys or to give boys a chance.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: How many kids were on that island? Can you recall
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: ten to forty twenty?
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: Well, now there was probably six to eight of us
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: out there. Some of the kids they didn't have no
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: clue what these guys were about. I think they were
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: being sculpted, bringing the island to get them all excited
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: and stuff, and they would try grooming them. At that point,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: some of the kids knew exactly what was going on.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: Those were the kids that you know to take photos with.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: And how old were you.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: Well, it all happened between the age of twelve and fifteen.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: I was in Ziver's training at fifteen and when it ended,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: that's when the detectives came to talk to me and
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: put fear of God in me. So he had, you know,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: two and a half three years to groom me. I
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: guess that's the word rios.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: How did the North Fox Island fall apart?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: He and Eddie? And I guess they hurt Eddie Richards
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: or Sheldon Sideomize Daddy. I think that he was only
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: eight or ninety years old, and they heard him and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: Eddie's mom got the police involved, and after Eddie the
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: police came to question me and but fear of God
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: in me.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: Here's what's really scary about what happened next. When the
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: police questioned Michael, they didn't bring a social worker or
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: a guidance counselor Instead, they treated him like a criminal.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: Now imagine being fifteen years old. They pulled you out
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: of the driver's ed class, put you in an empty
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 4: classroom alone, and get in your face telling you you're
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: going to jail for a life if you don't confess.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: Confess to what this idea Michael was complicit in the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: boys Camp scam surface years later. Gerald Richards gave interviews
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: from prison, singing Michael's praises like he was a business
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: partner and not a fifteen year old boy. If there's
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: one thing I've learned about pedophiles, you can't always believe
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: them when they tell you the kid is in on it.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: And the first thing I did when I got home
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: was called Jerry Richards and told them please, Sir questioned me.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: That's when the wils really started turning, and it was
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: an gun hold. They were going to arrest everybody, and
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to be They're all going to yeil. They
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: gave Jerry Richards eighteen months. They let them out, the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: freaks go, and my dad knew all the detectives, and
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: I think that the detectives told my dad mom something.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: My mom was so scared she wanted me out at
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: her sister in laws in California. They knew that these
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: guys were powerful that were molesting me in that anything
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: it happened.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: This was a much bigger ring with tentacles in a
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: lot of places. But when did you realize he was
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: attached to something much bigger?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: That would be in the early eighties. I got an
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: attorney involved, and that's when I was dealing with a
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: prosecutor because he wanted to at the date shout and
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: he said they knew where a girlsman was too, and
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: he wanted to bring him both to justice. And that's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: when I started thinking. And that next three or four weeks,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: things just started aspiring and out of control, and I
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: got angry. I got really angry. That's when I realized, Hey,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: what the hell was Jerry doing to me? And what
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: was he doing? What was I doing? You know, I
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: had to question myself what was going on.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: Over the years, Michael's desire for some kind of justice
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: has not diminished, It's only grown. Just like we trusted
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: our camp counselors, we trusted the institutions and charities that
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: received state funds to care for kids, so did Michael Farquhar,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: and so did his parents. Michael and the kids at
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: that camp, like his younger friend Eddie, were carefully chosen, groomed,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: given perks, money, and then trapped by their own guilt
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: and shame. And because the guy running the island was
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: rich and influential, he got away with it. Did Gerald
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: ever say it was sorry?
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: No? Nobody said sorry, no, no. These pedophiles are not
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: sorry for what they do. We just don't understand why
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: they do it, that's all, you know. And we're supposed
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: to live with that.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: We took Michael back to North Fox Island and he
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: went into the bunk house, which was one of the
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: places where he was abused. As you've heard, Michael is
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: very polite and soft spoken, but when he re entered
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: that bunk house, forty years of anger surfaced.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: I was molested in this room. Yeah, this uh lot?
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: How bad things happen here?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a time that I'd burnt this whole
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: island right to the ground, spent.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: My whole life on and killed myself over THEE.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: Just to put the pain away, to make the memories
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: go away. And why am I trying to remember thee?
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 5: We need to take a break, guys, Yes, sure, No,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: he's starting to hallucinate.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: Michael wanted to go back and face those demons, and
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: it took a lot of courage for him to do that. Michael,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: when did you actually start to deal with what happened
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: back then?
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: The eighties were really scary for me when the prosecutor
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: came to me and started talking to me about what
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: took place in the seventies. And at that point, my
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: first child was about to be born, and wow, remember
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: what was going on in the seventies. It kind of
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: messed me up. There was a time with my snific
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: the other at the time with my first child, where
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: she said that I was talking in my sleep all
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: the time and fighting in my sleep. She says that
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: I speak different languages, I want sleep. And there was
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: some really rough time. So I started seeing therapist and
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: telling them the stories. They didn't believe me. I don't
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: even think the prosecutors when I tried telling them, I
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: think they thought I was crazy too, But it was bad.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: They knew, they knew something happened with Shlodon and Richards
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: and stopping, and all of Richards were somewhat prosecuted. I mean,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: I don't even think she did two years. I think
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: he did eighteen months.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: Pretty rough stuff there, and it's really really sad. But
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: how does this story end? So on July twenty third,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six, Gerald Richards was finally arrested and charged
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: with criminal sexual conduct involving a minor Now on the island.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: These boys were made to get completely naked, forced to
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: get an erection, and then they measured their fucking penises
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: and told them that they were sizing them for jockstraps,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: and it was this one incident that finally drew the
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: attention of police. But while police were still doing their
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: paperwork on Richard's regarding the jockstrap measuring, something was already
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: taking place on North Fox Island. Suddenly flights increased, files moved,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: and cabinets were emptied. It was a very strategic clean up,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: and the timing is very important here because when law
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: and finally turned towards Sheldon and the island, the trail
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: was already cooling. Richards, facing real fucking prison time, began
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: like a fucking canary and started saying all this shit
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: was actually Sheldon, and that the camp was afront and
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: it was actually a production site, and he admitted that
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: North Fox Island wasn't just a place where abuse happened,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: it was a place where abuse was manufactured. When Michigan
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: State Police finally rated North Fox Island, expectations were extremely high.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: Based on witness statements alone. Investigators were expecting to find
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: enough evidence to dismantle an entire network. Films, photographs, movies,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: lists of names, people purchasing this child, pornography, financial records,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: proof of who visited the island, proof of who paid
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: and of who knew. But what they found instead was
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: literally nothing. The buildings were there, the trails, the airstrip,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: but the shelves were completely empty, the cabinet's bear drawers
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: cleaned out. Whatever had been stored there was completely gone.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: And that's the moment when this case turned from horrifying
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: to infuriating, because yes, people, they got away with it.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Only fucking Richards went to prison. One guy and he
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: only served ten years. Francis Sheldon, Sure, yeah, he was charged,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: but he was never tried in court. He was actually
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: declared mentally unfit. It's all in who you know people,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: all right, And he left the country and he lived
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: out his days in Amsterdam, where he died. And the buyers,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: the people that bought all the child pornography, they were
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: never publicly named, they were never charged, they were never
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: exposed for a case that produced literally thousands of images
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: and films. The complete lack of downstream accountability is fucking sickening.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: There was no public outcry for these children for what
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: they had gone through. And it's because the people that
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: were indulging in the material being manufactured on Pedo Island
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: were people with a lot of fucking money, and the
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: people that were partaking that were fucking flying to the
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: island and abusing these children that were buying the content
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: that was coming from this island. They were still out
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: there and they wanted this to fucking disappear. But it
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't change the fact that this was and probably still
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: is a complete network. You don't produce that much child
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: pornography material for just two fucking dudes. You don't build
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: the infrastructure, and you don't document the abuse and distribute
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: it without a market, and you don't clean out an
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: island that thoroughly one man being incarcerated the other not
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: unless you know exactly what you are protecting. It is
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: a network of horrible ritual abuse, just like we see
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again. But it
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: gets covered up because the people partaking in it are
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: fucking political socialites, people with money and people that can
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: make this go away. And it's gonna keep fucking happening.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: It's never gonna stop happening as long as human beings
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: are breathing. Children and young adults are going to be
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: sexually trapped. And I'm sorry it's repulsive, but that is
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: the world that we live in to this day. North
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: Fox Island is state owned, mostly empty and mostly overgrown.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: The buildings are rotting, the trails are disappearing, The airstrip
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: is barely visible through grass and brush. Nature is just
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: kind of naturing over there. Everyone's left the island. There's
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: no sign that tells you what happened there. There's no memorial,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: there's no plaque, there's no acknowledgment whatsoever. This is something
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: horrific that happened to a lot of young men and
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of traumatic ritual abuse and a
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: lot of just the most horrific sexual degrading traumatic abuse
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: that anyone could ever go through. And it all got
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: swept under the fucking rug and everyone's names were wiped,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: evidence wiped, all of it just gone because naturally, politicians, financiers,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: people with money, people with power were the ones partaking
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: in all of this. There were people flying in, flying
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: out like there was a constant stream of these scumbags
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: just like Lolita expressing it sexually assaulting these boys, and
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: then leave in the island by see you next time,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: under no type of law enforcement watch whatsoever. So after
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: Richard's arrest, an investigation was carried out by the Michigan
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: State Police detectives discovered large cachets of child pornography in
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: Richard's car and his office, some of which was Stampton
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: envelopes in preparation to be mailed. Also found were lists
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: of names and addresses of customers, as well as contacts
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: to other figures in the child pornography and prostitution business. So,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: as part of the plea deal, Richards gave law enforcement
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: a great deal of information in regards to the operation
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: they were running out of North Fox. He confessed that
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: children were flown to the island to be filmed in
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: child pornography and that his partner, some dude named Grossman,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: had helped him form the mission and participated in a
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: child orgy with himself and Sheldon at a holiday inn
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: in Port here On, Michigan. So, three days after Richards
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: was arrested, Sheldon's home in ann Arbor was raided by
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. However, he was not present and all of
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: his cabinets and drawers had been completely empty prior to
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: police raiding the property. But the scale of abuse gets big,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: and it gets big fast. Eventually you start hearing the
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: same names over and over and over again, and the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: more digging you, do you realize the Michigan abuse ring
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: went from Francis Sheldon's phony fucking so called Brother Paul's
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: Children's Mission to another phony camp funded by Sheldon in
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: another fucking state altogether. This one was in Tennessee, a
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: place that Francis Sheldon sponsored with his cheeritable donations. So
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: he funded the cast Corridor network. He obviously funded Pedo Island,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: and then he funded this fucking place in Tennessee and
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: called it a charitable donation. It happens to be in Winchester, Tennessee,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: and it was a place run by a defroct priest
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: named Bud vermil And while Sheldon may have escaped in
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six, Bud Vermial wasn't so lucky. But the
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: reason that Bud Vermial was caught in Tennessee wasn't because
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: of Francis Sheldon in the Pedo Island bust. It was
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: because of another ring of pedophiles who took over a
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: boy Scout troop and used it to launder children nationwide.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: But that's another episode. With all of this in mind,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: everything that I have just presented to you about the
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: original Pedo Island about the pedophile networks running in the
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: cast corridor. How the Candyman peto murderer in Houston said
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: that he was working with a network. John Wayne Gacy
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: said he was working with a network. Obviously, the snow
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: Boys that were killed as part of the Oakland County
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: child murders were connected to this pedo Island. With all
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: of that in mind, and then later we have Jeffrey
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: Epstein and Lolita expressing it could this go back further
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: than we even imagined because this was in the sixties
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: and seventies, right, But could it go back further? Is
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: there another island we have yet to discover? And for that,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to read you a synopsis from a book
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: slash movie that came out in nineteen forty that may
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: give us a clue as to if there could have
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: been a older pedo Island. Here's the little synopsis. A
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: mysterious coachman hires Honest John to find disobedient and naughty
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: boys for him to take to Pleasure Island, a notorious
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: and infamous place. Honest John, despite the legal risks and
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: the coachman's implication of what happens to the boys, accepts
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: the job. Out of fear and finds Pinocchio, persuading him
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: to take a vacation on Pleasure Island. On the way
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: to the island, Pinocchio befriends lamp Wick, a delinquent boy
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: at Pleasure Island. Without rules or authority to enforce their activity, Pinocchio,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: lamp Wick, and many other boys soon engage in vices
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: such as vandalism, fighting, smoking, and drinking. Jimminy eventually finds
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: Pinocchio in a bar smoking and playing pool with lamp Wick,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: and the two have a falling out after Pinocchio defends
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: lamp Wick for his actions. As Jimmy tries leaving Pleasure Island,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: he discovers that the island hides a horrible curse that
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: transforms the boys into donkeys after making jack asses out
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: of themselves, and they are sold by the coachman into
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: slave labor. Pinocchio witnesses lamp Wick transform into a donkey,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: and with Jimmy's help, he flees before he can be
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: fully transformed himself, though he still has a donkey's ears
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: and tail. Upon returning home, Pinocchio and Jimminy find Geppetto's
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: workshop deserted and obtain a letter from the Blue Faery
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: in the form of a dove, stating that Geppetto had
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: set out to see and search for Pinocchio on Pleasure Island,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: but got swallowed by a gigantic, a vicious sperm whale
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: called Monstro. So, for those of you who have watched Pinocchio,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sure all of that is ringing Nabel, you remember
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: this story, sure, And yes they did a live action
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: Pinocchio featuring Tom Hanks. So it's in our faces. And uh,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: it's clearly obvious to me that this Pleasure Island. People
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: are thinking that it's talking about something epsteinish, but I'm
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: here to tell you it goes back definitely farther than
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: Epstein goes back definitely farther than Francis Sheldon and North
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: Fox Island. What island are they talking about here? Because
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: we know Disney incorporates actual reality, fantasizes it and puts
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: it into our face as if it were a joke.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: They're laughing at us, and they've been taking our boys
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: to Pleasure Island. This was in the forties. How long
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: have they really been doing this shit? Where's this island?
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: I want to know, I want to know. One day,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll find out before Little Saint James and before
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: North Fox Island they were taking these boys somewhere else.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: I can be one hundred percent sure of that. But
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for this episode today, guys, what
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts, your feelings, your opinions, you know, I
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed it. And just as a closing thought,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: this is a really really old Cosmic Peach episode. But uh,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: if you will entertain me, if you will humor me,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: go back, go back, back, back, back back in history. Patreon,
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: this is for you because it was a half episode.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: I never published the whole episode. It was only ever
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: available in the short version for free, and Patreon has
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: had access to the full episode forever long. But go
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: back and listen. Me and my cousin we talked about
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: what could have happened to Johnny Gosh, and I said,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: I came up with a theory, didn't have any fucking
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: help from anybody. I put this together on my own,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: didn't hear anybody talking about it, didn't see anybody talking
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: about it. I literally just sat there and almost did
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: like a fucking detective's web of possible outcomes and Where, what, How? When?
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: And a fucking boys camp came up. I'm not gonna
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: say anything more about it. Just go back listen to
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: the episode. You'll see what I'm saying. What happened to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: Johnny gosh Er, whatever the fuck I called that episode? Patreon,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: go do it go now. But that's going to do
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: it for us, folks. Thank you so much for listening,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: and I will catch you on the next one.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, at first when I heard Epstein, he was
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: buried too for a while. You know, he got in
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 3: trouble and it I got buried. Those girls never got
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: no justice. And this is what scares me. You know, theories,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, and all these rumors that
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: we've been caring about our government and politicians. It needs
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: to be cleaned. It needs to be cleaned a lot
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: of people. I mean, it's we're going to find out
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: what this Epstein thing, just how bad it is. Yeah,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: it's ugly, you know what. I sent the governor a
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: letter and I thought it was a pretty good letter.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: I even had an attorney proof read it. I had
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: another writer read it so it wasn't sounded like I
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 3: was crazy or something. And I didn't even get a
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: reply from the governor. I didn't get a reply from
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: the state police. I didn't get a reply from the
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: attorney general. They sit in silence.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 4: What did you say in your letter?
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: I explained to them, you know, just like I've been
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: saying to you today. You know, I went through different
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: periods of my life in this this whole thing, you know,
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: and I remember the seventies. Who wants to drag the
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 3: seventies around with them today? But oh yeah, I went
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 3: back there. You know, I thought that I needed to,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: I had to. But I get just I get so angry.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: You know, I trusted the police. They couldn't do nothing.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: They couldn't get these guys. They were too slick. How
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: Come none of these guys had brought to justice. They
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: had help, they had helped getting away. It exactly was
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: helping them. I never had no reason to doubt prosecutors.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I had no reason to doubt that they
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: didn't do their best efforts to get justice. So with
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: that being said, other law officials in other counties, other
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: branches of the government stonelobbed them. They stone lobbed our community.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: You know, you know, there's got to be an end
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: of this stuff. My attorney, many many years ago, have
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: told me some stories are just too big to be told.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it on my island, my island because
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Ima Norma. I ain't let bark are y'all trying
• 1:32:05
