• 0:30
  Speaker 1: get into today's stories. In twenty fifteen, thirty two year
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: old Henry McCabe was living just outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: with his wife, Karine, and their two daughters. Henry was
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a Liberian immigrant who worked as an auditor for the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Department of Revenue. On September sixth, Henry's wife and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: his two kids head out to California to visit with
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: some family, leaving Henry alone. Henry decides, you know what,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I don't get a chance to go out very much
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: because I'm working all the time. I got family, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: so tonight I'm gonna cut loose. So he calls his
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: two very close friends and they decide to go to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a nightclub. They get to the nightclub and Henry very
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: quickly starts drinking a lot of alcohol, and lots of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: people that were at the club would say he seemed
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: pretty intoxicated. The trio would stay at the nightclub till
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: about two in the morning, and then when they left, Henry,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: who had driven there and met his two friends at
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the club, was about to drive himself home when one
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of his two friends said, wait a minute, you can't
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: be driving. We'll give you a ride home. So Henry
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: gets in the car with him and they start driving
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to Henry's house. But when they're about halfway there, Henry
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: tells them to go to a very specific gas station.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: He said he wanted to get food and a drink,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: but the gas station he was trying to go to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was two miles in the opposite direction away from his house,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and his friends are telling him, you know, we can
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: bring you to a closer gas station. We can bring
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you some that's more convenient, but Henry was really aggressive
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and very adamant that that was the gas station he
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to go to, and in fact, I don't even
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: want you to wait for me. I want you to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: drop me off. I will get whatever I want and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: then I'll walk home. And his friends put up a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: bit of a fight, but ultimately they relented and they
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: drove him to this gas station. They dropped him off,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they watched him go inside, and they turned around and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: they left. At two twenty eight in the morning, Henry's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: wife Karine looked at her phone and she saw she
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: had a miscall and a voicemail from Henry. She opens
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it up and she listens to it, and she's horrified
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: at what she hears. On the voicemail. Henry sounds incredibly distressed.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: He's yelling that he's been shot, and it sounds like
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: he's in pain. And then in the background you hear
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this really intense growling sound. It's pretty easy to distinguish.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And then Henry starts screaming about whatever is growling at him,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and then Henry yells out stop it before the phone
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: cuts out. The full two minute voicemail has never been
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: released by police. This is what was made publicly available.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Right after Kareem listens to this voicemail, she tries calling
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Henry and it goes straight to voicemail. So she tries
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: calling Henry's brother. She can't get in touch with him,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: so she calls the police. So the police go out
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: looking for Henry. They go to his house, he's not there,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and then they track down the two friends he was with,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: who immediately tell them, hey, we dropped him off at
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: this gas station. We know it's a little bit strange
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that he wanted to go here, but he was insistent
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and so that's where we dropped him off. So the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: police look around the gas station, they talk to the attendant,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: they talked to some people that were there, and no
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: one knows where Henry is. So at this point the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: police pull Henry's phone records and they can see he
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: placed a call to his wife at about two twenty
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: three in the morning, but they can't determine where he
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was when he placed this call. The assumption is he
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was at the gas station. Then just a few minutes later,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he places another call to his brother, and his brother
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: would report to police that all Henry was doing on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the call was just sobbing. And again with that phone call,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the police were not able to pinpoint where Henry was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: when he made the call, and following that call to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: his brother, he turned his phone off. Several hours later,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: his phone would turn back on and it would ping
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about four miles away from this gas station, and then
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: his phone would turn off again, and the police are thinking,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know what, it's a grown man. He went out
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: drinking with his friends. He's bound to sober up and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: turn up at some point. Let's just wait this one out.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: But Henry didn't turn up, and days turned into weeks
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: turned into months, and no one's heard from Henry. No
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: one has any idea where he is. On November two,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: so two months after Henry goes missing, his body is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: found in a lake up near the area where his
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: cell phone had last pinged. This area is a very
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: difficult area to access. There's no public access to this lake,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and the lake sits in a very heavily forested area.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Even though Henry had told his wife on the voicemail
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that he had been shot and it sounds like he's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: being attacked on the voicemail, there were no injuries to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: his body, and so even though the case was bizarre
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to everybody involved, they ruled it in accidental drowning. Some
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: say he took his own life because he had recently
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: bounced a check for his rent and he had a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: bad performance review at work. Others say he was just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: intoxicated and stumbled into the lake and drowned. But neither
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of those explanations account for the very obvious growling and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: strange sounds that we heard on his voicemail, And so
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to this day, Henry McCabe's death remains a mystery. Nine
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to one to one dispatchers hear a lot of interesting
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: stories coming from the other end of the phone, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: one group of dispatchers out of Reno, Nevada may win
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the award for the creepiest nine one one calls ever received.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: When the details of these calls they got were put online,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the internet went crazy. Here is their story. There was
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: this old couple that lived about twenty miles east of Reno, Nevada.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: In twenty ten, the husband dies, leaving the wife all
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: alone in this house. Shortly after his passing, she began
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: calling nine one one two three times a week, requesting
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: things like can you please put some water on to boil? Hey,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: can you change the thermostat? It was clear she was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: showing signs of dementia, and the dispatchers were respectful of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: her and gently told her that this is nine one one.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You can only call if it's an emergency. And at
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: some point the woman would understand her mistake and she
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: would say sorry, and she would hang up. No first
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: responders were ever sent out for these calls because it
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: didn't seem like an emergency. It just seemed like a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: confused elderly person. But no matter how many times they
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: told her, she kept calling back, and eventually her calls
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: took a turn. Instead of calling nine one one to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: ask for help with mondane tasks around the house, she
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: would call nine one one, believing she was talking directly
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to her deceased husband John. The dispatcher would pick up
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and the woman would say John, where are you John? John.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: By this time, the dispatchers had gotten so many calls
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: from this woman. They would recognize her address coming through
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and they knew what to expect. They would answer the phone,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they'd be respectful, and they would tell her life. They
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: always did, this is nine one one, You can't call here.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You need to talk to your family. And again they
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: did not send a responding unit out to her because
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it just seemed like she was confused, not in any danger.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: But one day when she called, she sounded frantic and scared. John,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Please come home, help me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I need help.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: John, come home. This time they would send first responders
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: out to the woman's house. When the responding unit arrives
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: at her house just minutes after she had placed the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: nine one one call, they go to the door and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: they're knocking and they're yelling for her, and she's not
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: coming to the door, and it's all quiet in the house.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: The door's unlocked, so they open it up and they
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: announce themselves. They walk inside and immediately they can tell
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the heat is not on because it's very, very cold
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: inside the house. They look around the first floor and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: they can't find her, and there's no sign of a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: struggle or any obvious problems that could have happened inside
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of the house. So they go upstairs and they start
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: searching all the rooms and no one's there until they
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: get to the last room and it's the bedroom. They
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: go inside and there's an older woman who's lying on
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the bed, and she's clearly deceased and has been for
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: several hours. Because rigor mortis had already set in, the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: police are able to confirm that the woman who's lying
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: on the bed is the same woman who owns the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: house and lives there. And at this point they call
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: back to dispatch and they tell them, Hey, you know
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the woman that you claim made this nine one one call, Well,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it can't have been her because based on rigor mortis,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: she was dead at the time that nine when one
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: call was made. But the dispatchers are like, no way,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: we know what she sounds like. We speak to her
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: multiple times a week. We have a whole protocol built
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: when we see her address come across because we speak
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to her so often. That nine to one one call
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that you got that led you to that house where
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: she was, that call was made by her. What they
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: ultimately decide is the reason for this discrepancy is she
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: didn't have rigor mortis, She was just stiff because it
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: was really cold inside of her house, and that she
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: had died in those couple of minutes between leaving the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: nine one one call and when officers arrived. But in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the back of everybody's minds, they're a little freaked out.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: A few days go by and another call is placed
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to nine one one coming from that woman's home address.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: The dispatcher sees that and has to do a double take,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: like that's not possible, but they're thinking, Okay, this could
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: be a relative, it could be a friend, who could
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: be anything. Picks up the phone and she's shocked when
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it's the same woman who is frantically yelling for John
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to come here, save me, help me. I need help.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And the dispatcher, who's well aware of the history and
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: well aware that this woman's supposed to be dead, stays come,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: goes through the procedure, tries to get more information from
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: this woman, but the call ends abruptly and there's no
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: more information to be had, and so, not knowing what
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: else to do, she asks a responding unit to go
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: check this house out. The responding unit goes over to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the property, They knock on the door, No one's inside.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: The door is actually still open. They go in. The
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: house is empty, there's no one there. There's no one
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that could have made that call. At this point, dispatch
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: is like, Okay, this has got to be a prank.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But the next day, same thing happens. Here comes a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: call from the dead woman's house. They pick it up
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and it's this distraught woman yelling for help. I need
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: my husband, and the dispatcher's trying to get more information,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: but they can't and then the line cuts out once again.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: They have to send responders to this location because this
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: woman has called nine one one it is saying that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: she needs help, and once again, the officers get to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the house and it's vacant, just like when she was alive.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: These calls would persist multiple times a week. They continued
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: even after her house was broken into and burned to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the ground. There's not even a house anymore, and there
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: are still calls coming through from that address to nine
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: one one. Finally, the police get in touch with the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: phone company and they explain the situation, and the phone
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: company looks at their records and they say, actually, her
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: phone line was disconnected almost immediately after she was deceased.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But they tell police there's a chance that it might
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not have been disconnected properly at the site and that
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: could be a reason why it's still working. So they
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: send the linemen to go check out the actual property
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to confirm her lines were disconnected properly and that no
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: wires were getting crossed, and he said, all of it
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: checked out. Everything has been detached. This whole time, the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: phone company thought perhaps there was a digital recording of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: her that got trapped in their system and was randomly
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: bouncing to their call center. But the dispatchers would say,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't sound like a recording that's playing
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the same every single time. It's always the same message.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: She's yelling for her husband to come save her, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the way she sounds is always different. It's a unique
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: phone call every single time. So, because there wasn't a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: definitive explanation for why this was happening, they had to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: treat each call like it was serious, and so multiple
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: times a week for a year, they received these ghost
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: calls and had to send out responding officers to check
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: on her, even though the house was gone and there
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: was nothing there and there was never anyone there. It
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was just a vacant lot. And then finally, a year
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: after this woman has died, the calls just abruptly stopped,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and the police did not launch an investigation into what
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it was because the reality is police need to prioritize
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: things that are threats to people or places, and this
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: really wasn't either of those things. It was just really bizarre,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and so the official explanation and for how a dead
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: woman could be calling nine to pet one from a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: non existent phone line in a non existent house for
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a year is we don't know. The following stories all
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: take place in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. On New
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Year's Eve nineteen eighty, twenty year old Karen Potac was
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: out at a bar with her friends celebrating, and at
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: some point in the night, she slipped out. She didn't
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: want to standy later and she began walking home. Now,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: she didn't have a jacket on, and it was very
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: cold outside, and she's kind of stumbling through the streets
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and a man sees her and pulls over and offers
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to give her a ride home. She's kind of intoxicated,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and so she agrees to get in his car and
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: they drive off. A couple hours later, around three am,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the police received this phone call. Yes, please, this is
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: an emergency.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Please send a squad guard a Pierce Butler Road, Mohmberg
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Manufacturing Company machine shop. Please send an ambulance too. There's
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: a girl hurt there. Can you tell me what happened
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: to her? Just hurry. She's laying on the ground in
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the back by the railroad tracks, by the engine room hurray,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know who you.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Using this information from the caller, the police arrived in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the back of that building and they find Karen Potak.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: She had been repeatedly bludgeoned over the head with a
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: tire iron and then left for dead. Miraculously, she would survive,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: but because of her head injury, she forgot almost everything
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: about that night, including the description of the guy who
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: picked her up and who probably attacked her, and who
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: probably was the one who called police. So the police
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: tried to interview some people in the area around where
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: she was found, but it was a really deserted area
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and no one knew anything, and there was no physical
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: evidence left at the scene, so the case went cold.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Then five months later, the police received another phone call.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, finally I just got somebody with a nurse.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Hello, are you there.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: At this point, the police were not acting this call
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: with the call that immediately preceded finding Karen Potek, meaning
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they did not think that was the same person, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: since in this call there were no instructions on where
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to find this person, they didn't really have anything to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: go on. So they took note of it, but ultimately
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: kind of disregarded it. But Just a few hours later,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a group of teenagers were walking through the forest when
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: they found a dead body. The body belonged to eighteen
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: year old Kimberly Compton, who had literally just moved to Minnesota.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: She graduated high school and decided she wanted to start
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: fresh in Minnesota. She hopped in a bus. She goes
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota. She gets off the bus, she goes into
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the first restaurant she sees, which is a diner. She
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: sits down by herself. She's eating some food, and a
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: man approaches her and says, hey, can I sit down
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: with you? And so she lets him sit down and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he asks, you know, who are you? What are you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: doing here? And she says, oh, you know, I just
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: moved here. And this guy offers to drive her around
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: town and show her the sights and she's like great.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Fifteen minutes later, he would kill her with an ice pick.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: At this point, police are beginning to suspect that this
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: person who keeps calling them immediately before where they're finding
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: women that have been attacked, might be the same person.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And two days after Compton was killed, they get another
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: call that confirms.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: This, don't talk, just listen. I'm sorry what I did
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to Compton. I couldn't help it. Don't know why I
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: had to stabber. I'm so upset about it. I keep
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: getting drunk every night. I can't believe I did it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: It's like a big dream. I can't think of being
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: locked up. If I get locked up, I'll kill myself.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I'd rather kill myself than get locked up. I'll try
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: not to kill anybody else.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: From this point forward, they referred to this caller as
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the weepy voiced killer, and even though they had his
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: voice recorded, they didn't have any physical evidence because he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: didn't leave any of the scene with Compton either, so
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they didn't have much to go on. The police would
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: go to the diner and they would talk to the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: staff that was there and they would give a general
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: description of the weepy voice killer, but it wasn't enough
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to pinpoint a suspect, so once again, this case went cold.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Too.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Six months later, the police received yet another call.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Please don't talk, just listen. I'm so sorry. I killed
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: that girl. I stabbed her forty times. Kimberly comped him.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Was the first one over in Saint Paul. I don't
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: know what's the matter with me. I'm sick. I think
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna kill myself. I think I'm just going to
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: somebody dies with a red shirt on its knee. I've
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: killed more people. I'll never make it to come down,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: calm down.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: A day later, they find the body of forty year
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: old Barbara Simon's floating in the Mississippi River, tucked up
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: against some brush. The night before, Barbara had been out
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: at a bar and she had offered a cigarette to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a man she hadn't met before. They began flirting and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: kind of hit it off, and at one point they
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: were going to leave together, and before they left, Barbara
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: turns to one of the waitresses and kind of jokingly says, boy,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I hope he's nice because I'm leaving with him, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the waitress, for whatever reason, had a really bad feeling
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: about it and made a point of getting a really
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: good look at the man she was leaving with. And
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that man, of course, would turn out to be the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Weepy Boys killer, and as soon as he and Barbara
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: left the bar, he would stab her to death and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: throw her in the Mississippi River. After the police began
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: investigating this, that came to the bar and they interviewed
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that waitress, and she said, I got a really good
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: look at this guy. And so the police show her
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: one hundred different mugshots of previously convicted felons in the area,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and she immediately identifies thirty eight year old Paul Stefani
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: and says that's the guy. Paul had been convicted for
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: aggravated assault and he also had a history of mental illness.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Paul is immediately put under surveillance, but within twenty four hours,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: he manages to ditch his tail and goes straight into
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: downtown Minneapolis, where he picks up nineteen year old street
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: worker Denise Williams. Paul took her down a dark alleyway
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and she kind of sensed something was wrong, and so
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: she grabbed a glass bottle that was sitting on the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: floor of the car, and when he went to attacker,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: she managed to hit him in the head and cut
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: his face really, really badly, and she managed to protect
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: herself enough that she could get out of the car
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and run away and save her own life. And a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: neighbor saw her running out of the car and kind
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: of saw the whole exchange didn't like how it looked,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: so they called nine to one one. When police showed up,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Paul was long gone. That same night, police get another
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: call from the weavy voice killer. This one's a little
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: bit different. He's actually asking for help for himself. Where
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: on fire O fire workminiker one five five?
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Westminster? What's the problem? I'm all cut up up?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: What's your apartment number? I've w wait where are.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: You bleeding from?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: On the arm right now. By the time this call
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: is being made, the audio recordings of his previous phone
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: calls had been made public. They were aired on radio
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: shows on TV. People had heard his voice and it's
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: fairly distinctive, and the dispatcher recognized his voice and told
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: police there's a chance the weepy voice killer just called us.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: So an ambulance comes and picks up Paul Stefani and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: brings him to the hospital, and when he's sitting in
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: his hospital bed, police walk in and they apprehend him.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: He pled not guilty, and prosecutors did not actually have
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that much evidence connecting him to each of these attacks.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: They had these audio recordings, but that was about it.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And so ultimately he got fifty eight years in prison,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: not a life sentence, but considering his age, it wound
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: up functioning like a life sentence. Twelve years into that sentence,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was told he
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: only had a year to live. And so it was
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: at this point that he confessed to all of the attacks,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: including one they didn't know about. He murdered thirty three
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: year old Kathleen Greening in her own home. He just
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: didn't make a phone call to police afterwards. Paul would
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: die shortly after his confessions. So that's going to do it.
• 19:23
