Hey, everyone, welcome to Blessed this mess in the True Crown Podcast.
0:23
I don't care. Here's Stu say Hastu. Hey, all right, so
0:26
we're back. We've been gone for a couple of weeks. We apologize,
0:30
but it wasn't our fault. We had the fault. Okay, I dragged.
0:35
I dragged. We've never had COVID in our like, believe it or
0:38
not, in all these years. We're like we thought we had, but
0:44
we never got tested. Well, but somebody actually tested positive this time.
0:50
No, we've been tested multiple times when we've been sick because now the days,
0:54
they won't give you an antibiotic or anything unless they test you for everything
0:57
when you go in. So we have been tested while we've been sick.
1:00
The kids have been tested for multiple times when they've got sick, and they've
1:03
never had it. So to our knowledge, we've never tested positive for COVID.
1:11
And we both had to test multiple times, like during the whole ordeal
1:15
for our jobs. So we finally got COVID. We're like late to the
1:19
party. We're we're buying last season's pants. We're twenty twenty four COVID people.
1:27
So we all got COVID. I dragged it home, and then the
1:30
baby got it. I call him the baby. He's eighteen months old.
1:34
But the baby got it, and then Stu got it, and then little
1:38
Psycho got it. Yeah, the three year old got it. The three
1:42
nature So I had it the worst, and then I would say Stu had
1:48
its second worst, and then the two children were like nothing. It was
1:52
like the baby had one day of fever. That's why we That's how we
1:56
actually found out we had it because he got sick. He had a fever
1:59
all day and so they wanted to see because he's only eighteen months, make
2:01
sure it wasn't ear infection or something. And then's when he you know,
2:06
they could test them for like fifteen different things, and he had the COVID.
2:09
So I like some little swifties, they shook it off. Really,
2:15
stud What what is it? What have you been watching TikTok or something?
2:19
No, you got to do is watch football these days. And I know,
2:21
I can't believe Taylor Swift's going to Super Bowl. How exciting is that?
2:23
I know, I thought they were going to trade her for Selena Gomez
2:25
after they went oh and to to two back to back losses. I thought
2:30
she was going to get traded. Oh yeah, he did have like some
2:31
I don't really follow Taylor Swift that much, but this has you know,
2:35
this is just bombardee. You can't really there's no getting around it. Like
2:38
you're just just mind your own business on Facebook, and all of a sudden
2:42
it's like, oh, eh, Taylor Swift told the cameras to fuck off
2:47
or something like that. Anyway, so she didn't actually say that, but
2:51
she did. I think she did tell them to go away? Did she?
2:53
I stare them, yeah, mean mugging. Yeah, like can you
2:57
please just turn the camera off me? This is getting old. So anyways,
3:00
so that's where we've been. I'm still a little stuffed up. I've
3:04
just it's just been going on. It's been lingering because you're weak. It's
3:09
been lingering with me because I am not. I am free to remove to
3:14
go about my life. But it's just like I got that long haul COVID.
3:19
Well that's why I'm on tender, just in case the worst happens.
3:23
I got to be prepared to go on get these children a new mommy.
3:27
Anyway, So we're back, but we have other some other things coming up
3:31
that might delay a few episodes. But we'll let you know when that when
3:36
that happens, when that drops. Yeah, so what what what? We've
3:44
just been working on something and whenever that happens, we'll probably have another delay.
3:51
Just fair forewarning you guys. So anyway, so that's enough about this
3:55
because I've been anyways, we have we have our Patroon. We want to
4:02
thank everybody who's supporting us on Patreon. We have Facebook like us there for
4:09
updates and stuff, and then Instagram as well. I've been lacking on the
4:12
content on the Instagram and Facebook because I've been sick, but I'll try to
4:16
get back on that. We do have book club and stuff like that.
4:19
So anyways, I guess we'll go ahead and get into this week's episode about
4:27
Okay, well whatever, all right, So we're going to Virginia and then
4:34
Texas. We're going to Texas. Okay, that's what I know. We're
4:41
going to Texas. We start in Virginia, but we we move on to
4:45
Texas. I wrote this a while ago, so sorry. All right,
4:50
So Laurie, I mean Laura who goes by Laurie Coffee. Nay now,
5:00
nay stout, No, yep, no, Laura Laurie Stout Nay Coffee was
5:08
born October first, nineteen sixty in Arlington, Virginia. See that's where I
5:12
go, Virginia. Now, Laurie was the oldest child in her family growing
5:15
up in Arlington. See he threw me off too, because there's in Arlington,
5:18
Texas to it's just convoluted. You think it's as important as Arlington,
5:21
Virginia, though, yes, I do. Yes, what is going on
5:27
in Arlington, Virginia. It's older than Texas Arlington. Just since things are
5:31
old doesn't mean they're better. Yeah, trustb Yeah I married that older you're
5:39
not that ticket. Enjoy that ride, Okay. So she would later move
5:42
with her family to Austin, Texas. In Austin, Laurie met Gary Stout
5:46
and they quickly quickly fell in love kind of like us no. Now.
5:50
In nineteen seventy eight, they wed, and three years later they welcomed a
5:54
baby girl named Dale. Now Laurie was living the life she always dreamed of.
6:00
At just twenty two years old, she had a baby, a husband,
6:02
and had started her own cleaning business. Now she was growing her business,
6:05
booking local office buildings where she would clean overnight. She chose those overnight
6:11
jobs because she really liked being at home with her daughter during the day.
6:15
She loved being a mother and spending time with Dell. On the morning of
6:19
September twentieth, nineteen eighty three, at around eight am, an office worker
6:24
entered the Esseel Investments building and saw an abandoned cleaning cart in the middle of
6:29
where announce it Eesel. I was thinking, Easel could be Easyl, could
6:31
be eSeL. It's easy Ell. You guys decide for yourself. We don't
6:36
want another uh where is it val vald Valdosta. We don't want another Valdosta
6:44
situation. So anyway, the cleaning cart in the middle of the hallway was
6:50
not the norm for the building, and it was always done overnight and everything
6:55
was put away in the morning when the office opened up, So this is
6:58
odd. The man looked around the cart but did not see anybody. Now
7:03
since he was thinking this was odd, he continued to look for the cleaning
7:06
person. So he entered a nearby men's restroom, and that is when he
7:12
discovered women's clothing strewn about. He continues to investigate, and to his horror,
7:17
he finds a woman lying nude, strangled with an electrical wire, and
7:23
he leaves the bathroom most quickly and calls nine one one. Well, at
7:27
least he didn't use the bathroom in the I mean, I mean, if
7:30
you got to go that man, you might. Yeah, I'll call on
7:32
when I'm done here, all right. So police arrived at eight thirty am,
7:36
and they found, like I said, a nude young woman strangled with
7:41
that electric wire. She had wet toilet papers stuffed in her mouth and nose.
7:45
That's terrible. Yeah, it appeared that the killer wanted to make sure
7:48
she did not survive that like she even if she survived the strangulation, he
7:54
then stuffed her nose in her mouth with the wet tissue paper so that she
7:59
wouldn't be to breathe. It would restrict her even more and just finish the
8:03
job in case the strangulation didn't work. So as clear as by the wounds
8:07
on her body that she had been sexually assaulted, the woman was quickly identified
8:11
as twenty two year old Laurie Stout. Now, the man who found her
8:16
knew she was a cleaning lady, and she also had the IDA on her
8:20
purse nearby, so it wasn't really a question as to who who this was.
8:24
Now Laurie had no defensive wounds, so it appeared that the attack was
8:28
a surprise attack from behind. Now, from clues gathered at the scene,
8:31
it appeared to perpetrator approached Laurie from behind and began to strangle her with that
8:37
electrical wire. The killer then dragged her into the men's bathroom, where he
8:41
continued the attack. Now an autopsy would later confirm the manner of death as
8:45
strangulation and the sexual assault. Investigators continued to process the scene and one of
8:50
the first items they noticed was a cigarette butt lying in a bucket hooked to
8:54
Laurie's cleaning cart. Her broken glasses were also in that bucket, so they
9:00
collected the cigarette and they quickly determined that it did not belong to Laurie.
9:05
Laurie smoked, but it was not the same type of cigarette that was in
9:07
her purse. They also dusted the entire bathroom for fingerprints, and during the
9:11
search they found a small amount of blood left at the scene that they were
9:16
able to determine did not belong to Laurie based on the type of the blood
9:20
type. As investigators are scouring the crime scene, a man arrives, pushing
9:24
his way through now this is Gary Stout, Laurie's husband. Gary also worked
9:30
at the building as a maintenance worker during the day. When he approached police,
9:33
he seemed to already know that it was Laurie that was found in the
9:39
bathroom, and as you might imagine, he was completely distraught, and police
9:43
brought him down to the police station for further questioning because why husband, yes,
9:50
So upon questioning, Gary tells police that he rushed up to the office
9:54
when he awoke in the morning to find Laurie had not returned home, because
9:56
obviously he gets up, she should already be back in bed. It doesn't
10:01
take all night to clean a office building, and so he you know,
10:05
and then they have a child, So he gets up, goes to work,
10:09
she's in bed, and then you know, they switch off. So
10:13
when he got to the building, he then saw her car, and then
10:16
he saw all the police in the building, and he knew it had to
10:18
have been Laurie because she's in a building by herself at night. Yeah,
10:24
she's not home in her cars there. So Gary had calmed down since the
10:28
office building and was acting very different. Instead of being upset, he was
10:33
just like in a state of calm. He was also very forthcoming with detectives.
10:39
He quickly admitted that him and Laurie were having problems in their marriage,
10:43
and he told them he was having an affair with a woman, and that
10:46
woman had recently moved to Texas to be closer to Gary. So it's a
10:50
little more a serious thing then, just a little trisk this woman is relocating
10:56
her life to be near Gary now, he said at the time, he
11:01
was contemplating just leaving Laurie altogether for this other woman. Now. The night
11:05
that Laurie was murdered, Gary admitted to getting into a fight with her over
11:09
how loud the TV was. I mean, I understand she had gone to
11:13
bed early to get some rest before heading to her cleaning job, and he
11:18
would not turn down the TV, which was bothering her. Well, maybe
11:22
you should turn down the TV sto, whenever I go to bed. I'm
11:26
talking about me and you with the damn Yeah. Oh, you sleep through
11:28
everything. I had Sister Wives on last night, and you just you like
11:31
turn it on in the bedroom, yeah and wake me out, and then
11:35
you're like sleep through anything you can. You were taking you were taking a
11:39
nap and I was watching Sister Wives, and you were snoring in the middle
11:45
of the day, would like comy, Oh my god. Yeah, and
11:50
does a bear shit in the woods? Does the Pope shit in the woods?
11:56
It's a bear Catholic, all right. So anyways, so he admits
12:01
to having this fight, which is kind of like a silly argument, but
12:05
still he's admitting that, yeah, we argued about the TV. So anyway,
12:11
so they got an argument, and she just decided to go in and
12:13
head off to the office to start her cleaning a little earlier because she's laying
12:16
down, can't sleep, TV's on. Pissed off at him, She's like,
12:20
fuck it, I'm just leaving. So police are growing very suspicious of
12:24
Gary, and it did not help when family members confirm the issues in the
12:28
marriage, because they've been expressing once your marriage issues get to where other people
12:35
outside of you and the significant other, then it means it's probably pretty bad.
12:41
It's bad, and then they're only getting snippets of it. Yeah,
12:43
on one side of it. So her siblings told police that Laurie was miserable
12:48
and just the weekend before the murder, Laurie had gone to stay with her
12:50
sister to get away from him. Now Laurie's family believe that Gary was the
12:54
one who killed Laurie and told police this multiple times. There was obviously no
12:58
love lost between meeen Gary and Laurie's family. I mean, they're just like
13:03
he did it, cheating on her. He must killed him. Yeah,
13:07
I mean it correlates what's going to happen every dayline episode I've ever seen.
13:13
Yeah, they're going to be looking at you when I die. What are
13:16
you talking about? They never look at the wife. What No, it's
13:22
just the husband. Wait, they're gonna look at whatever business dealings you have
13:26
that were gone a right, My business dealings are with you and the children.
13:31
Yes, that girl, she's kind of shifty, the three year old,
13:35
Yes she is. She did run around with that knife that one time,
13:41
saying kill Our three year old did not have a knife. She was
13:46
two at the time. No, I'm kidding, she was two at the
13:50
time. I had got her one of those like Montessori type. I was
13:54
going to post it on the Instagram, Facebook, and then I thought I'd
13:56
get like hate mail, hate mail, like what kind of terrible parenting is
14:01
this? So what happened was there was a fly? Have I already told
14:05
the story? Maybe there was a fly, and so she don't like she
14:09
doesn't like bugs. She's a concrete princess. She likes to she don't like
14:13
grass and stuff like that and bugs. So there was a fly, so
14:16
I got the fly swatter out and I killed it, and I said,
14:20
oh, we're gonna kill it, and she like really latched onto that word
14:22
killing thing, kill, kill, kill, And then I said it's dead,
14:26
and she latched onto that word dead, dead, like real hard.
14:31
There for a few days. Well about the same time, I had decided
14:33
to buy her like one of those like Montessory type things where you're supposed to
14:37
like teach the children to do everyday live stuff. And it was one of
14:41
those ones like a cutting board and some little toddler knife so she could practice
14:46
like cutting bananas and stuff. So she she doesn't like she didn't like the
14:50
room We have a room bud that vacuum at the time, she really hated
14:54
it and she was afraid of it. So she happened to have her little
14:58
Montessory knife and ran and the room bow was on and she starts walking around
15:03
and she's got like yourself crouched down and she's going kill, kill, kill
15:07
with her knife, and I got it on I got it on video and
15:11
everything with that. But she was looking for the room, but to kill
15:13
it because she saw me kill the fly. She just happened to have the
15:16
knife in her hand, like she doesn't associate like killing something with a knife.
15:20
I don't think. I don't know, what do you doing on the
15:24
room? I don't know. Anyways, it was funny because she's over there
15:26
like croshming, going kill kill, and then then the vacuum light got stuck
15:31
or something. She's like dead. So anyways, I don't know why that
15:35
story came up. We got to watch three or Oh she's shifting, Oh
15:39
she is. She is shifting though for sure. Anyway, So there's this
15:46
fun story for the and why I didn't post it because people probably think I
15:48
was a terrible parent. Well not for that reason. Shut up still now,
15:56
since based on what we've told you, that's pretty much all police had
16:00
as well, so they didn't have enough to hold Gary, so he had
16:03
to be let go. But he was their number one suspect. He had
16:07
been the last one to see Laurie that night before she left for work.
16:12
Obviously, he showed up at the scene of the crime the next morning like
16:15
he knew something happened. He seemed to be acting od and he admitted to
16:22
having an affair, and then he was thinking of believing Lord in his defense
16:26
though he was could have just in reality, he did work there in the
16:30
morning, so it's not like it was like far fetched for him to be
16:33
there. No, Okay, well let's reverse this. So he didn't tell
16:38
the truth about the affair or the fight or the bad things they were happening.
16:44
So now he's also the suspect. Yeah, either way, he's a
16:47
suspect. Yeah, you can't tell the truth, should lie about it.
16:52
Now. On top of all this, he was also the only person that
16:55
had access to the building at night, which I can't believe anybody had a
17:00
key card had access. But I mean, he's their main suspect that had
17:04
there's other people that would have access, but he's one of the main people
17:08
of maintenance, the maintenance guy, and knowing she was there by herself,
17:14
and he had keys to the entire building. Yeah, now, the only
17:17
other ones that would have yes, like we said, the only other ones
17:22
would have been a few workers and the property manager. So he's the only
17:26
one with a motive and the means and the opportunity and to complete access to
17:30
the building. Well, that means motive and opportunity. I covered that,
17:33
Stewart, I covered that the saying is means motive an opportunity. It's not
17:41
means motive opportunity and the keys, the keys to the buildings. No,
17:48
that's not one of the criteria for if you are a susk, I'm about
17:52
sicking you tonight. You walked right into that. You're about to walk into
17:59
something kill. They also found electrical wire like the type that was used to
18:06
strangle Lori in the maintenance closet, but all of this was circumstantial and they
18:11
had no hard evidence placing old Gary at the scene at the time of the
18:15
murder. They did find his fingerprints in the bathroom, but being that he's
18:19
the maintenance fan and it being the men's room, and being that he worked
18:25
there, this could easily be explained away. Do you think Gary did come
18:30
in and take a polygraph test and passed, but he was still a suspect
18:36
and they had but they still had to look outside of Gary because they had
18:40
nothing else to do. Yeah, they're not going to be able to rest
18:41
him on this or oh damn, put the doughnut down and get to work.
18:48
The office where Lourie was cleaning was used by multiple businesses and organizations.
18:52
So one of those organizations was the University of Texas. Now, they had
18:57
a special enrollment happening for a course at the office building that night. Now,
19:02
many students actually entered the building and were there past midnight because it's college
19:06
students. I guess, like we're just staying up past midnight, Like,
19:10
yeah, very weird. But okay, I guess because as was back in
19:15
the day, you had to like go in person to enroll. I guess,
19:18
oh yeah, because they didn't have online. It's not ten eighth three
19:22
ot to remember, not ten eighthing. No, no, I really don't.
19:27
Oh yeah. So anyways, so they had to go in person,
19:33
and I guess this enrollment took the hours were put them well past midnight.
19:40
So anyway, so Laurie had arrived to clean while the students were still in
19:45
there, obviously because she's I mean, it's not gonna come clean at three
19:48
o'clock in the morning. So police took the roster and began contacting all of
19:52
the males that had signed in to register, asking them to come in for
19:55
finger printing. That seems a little sexist. Now, all of the man
19:57
cooperate, dated cooperated. Now, of all the men, they actually did
20:07
find one match, and that was an eighteen year old student named Robert van
20:11
Weiss. Now, Robert's fingerprints were found inside the stall where Laurie was found
20:15
and on the emergency exit on the second floor door. Now, Robert,
20:22
of course was brought in for questioning, and he told police that he was
20:26
there for maybe twenty to thirty minutes. He registered for the class, used
20:30
the restroom on the second floor, then left outside through the fire exit door,
20:36
which would explain all his fingerprints everywhere that they were found. Now,
20:40
he said, likely story, likely story, Robert. He said he did
20:45
see a woman cleaning, but paid no attention to her. Robert said he
20:49
left it twelve fifteen, and other people confirmed this. Police had also had
20:55
eyewitnesses saying that they had seen Laurie alive at twelve thirty that night when they
21:00
left the building. They ran Robert's blood against the sample they had and it
21:04
was not a match. He had a different blood type. Yeah, so
21:08
he's got the right Story's he explained where all his fingerprints were. I'm assuming
21:15
they didn't tell him where they found your fingerprints. I wouldn't. I hope
21:17
they would. I hope they wouldn't. But we don't know. This was
21:19
nineteen eighty three, We don't know. They hadn't watched a lot of CSI
21:22
and stuff like that or dateline. So he's able to explain where his fingerprints
21:30
were. Head He's not someone people saw him leave. She was told blood
21:33
types not matching, so their lead is drying up pretty fast. So anyway,
21:41
he was let go and police continue down the list of potential suspects,
21:47
moving on to sex offenders in the area. They looked for similar types of
21:49
attacks in the area and they had a few leads, but those went nowhere.
21:56
The case went cold without any solid suspects. Detectives and Laurie's family believed
22:02
that Gary had something to do with Laurie's murder. Gary eventually took their daughter
22:07
Dale and he moved out of state. He was like, screw you guys,
22:10
I'm going home or somewhere else because y'all are just accusing me of shit,
22:14
and sooner or later somebody's either gonna It was like that one case we
22:17
just did where the guy like left and they everyone thought he he had murdered,
22:22
uh, the gas station, the guy, guy that worked at the
22:26
gest station. Yeah. So so Gary's like, screw it, I'm out.
22:32
I heard what happened to that gas station guy. I'm leaving bless this
22:37
I was listening to bless This Mess podcast. And he never could outrun the
22:41
suspicion, and they finally caught the killer years decades later, and then he
22:45
finally was So anyway, Gary, our main suspect, remarried and had another
22:52
child. Laurie's family was very upset because now they had lost Dale along with
22:56
Laurie. What would you think you were, Yeah, you're accusing in my
23:00
murder and you're like, he did it. He definitely did it. Somebody
23:03
arrest him and then he's like screw and then you want grandparents' rights. Yeah,
23:08
that's not gonna happen. Okay, So whether Gary, Gary still on
23:15
the suspect list, but he's like, I'm done with this, I'm out,
23:18
peace out. I wonder if he married the lady that he was having
23:21
an affair with. We don't know, stud didn't somebody shouldn't research this second.
23:26
Maybe you should have researched this. Maybe you should have what do you
23:29
do with your time? I do a lot of things with my time,
23:30
Stewart, Yeah, none of it's productive though You're not productive anyways. After
23:37
years, just it's after After several years with no progress in this relationship,
23:45
cold case detectives reopened the case in nineteen ninety two. After going back through
23:49
the case, they realized a critical human error had been made back in nineteen
23:53
eighty three. Sto shut your face. The eighteen year old UT student Robert
24:00
actually had a blood type that matched the attacker. Someone in the LA lab
24:04
had made an error when recording the blood type. Had it been an error,
24:07
had it been a cover up? I wonder what lab was it sent
24:11
to? Was it sent to the UT lab? Maybe? And they're like,
24:15
oh, I love Robert. We can't have him. No, go
24:18
to jail. He's just a freshman. Yeah. They then re evaluated all
24:23
of the evidence from the beginning. They realized that the placement of the fingerprint
24:26
on the exit door would have only gotten there if Robert had entered from the
24:32
outside. Putting a new theory together, they determined that Robert must have left
24:37
like the eyewitnesses said, so that was correct, but he re entered the
24:41
building at a later time when Lourie was alone. Now, detectives went to
24:45
go look for Robert, and they quickly learned that he had fled the country
24:49
at some point, most likely hearing that he was under investigation for the murder.
24:55
You know, all this is stirring up. I mean, he's got
24:57
to have his if he did it, he's got it. Have his like
25:00
ear to the to the pulse of the streets or whatever, that's his ear
25:07
to the concrete, his ear to the ground, something like that, listening
25:14
in. And then he got word that he was they were starting to sniff
25:17
around and reopen it and everything like that. So without Robert, police had
25:22
to rely on old evidence, and they went to obtain the DNA sample they
25:25
had of Robert, but someone had misplaced it or tossed the sample again.
25:30
Was it an accident or a cover up? I ask you this, well,
25:34
Lab, I don't know, we don't know. We're going to assume
25:38
it was at the UT lab. We're going to assume he was sleeping with
25:41
the lab. We're going to assume my brother is ou fan, he'd be
25:47
so so happy. We're gonna assume it was at the UT lab. He's
25:49
sleeping with the one of the lab texts, she covers the whole thing up.
25:53
So any game that OU's ever lost to Texas is now from the books.
26:02
So anyway, So in nineteen ninety six, they decided to move forward
26:04
with a warrant for his for the rest for murder. Now this would allow
26:08
them to move forward with trying to get Robert extradited back into the country when
26:12
they found him, because they need he needs official charges on him or rest
26:18
on him to build to you know, use any of these things. They
26:21
were also able to obtain one of his brother's DNA from trash and had a
26:25
familial DNA match which confirmed what they believed. Now police found out that Robert
26:30
was in Mexico. Probably had a very nice resort, you think. No,
26:33
he's in some sort of sketchy town situation, some sketchy town out So
26:41
they found him that probably still living a decent life though maybe yeah or not.
26:47
So it would take about twenty four years for him to surrender to authorities.
26:52
In December of twenty sixteen, Robert van Weiss was officially put on the
26:56
FBI's ten most Wanted Fugitalis fugitive list. So I'm not the only one.
27:02
They can't talk. No, I've been drinking though. Finally, after negotiations
27:07
and removing the death penalty off the table, he surrendered himself in January twenty
27:12
seventeen at the Laredo, Texas Mexico border. Yeah. Because I think Mexico
27:18
won't there due to their religion. They won't extradite you if you can be
27:23
put to death either, I'm pretty sure due to their religion. Yeah,
27:30
because they're Catholics. Yeah, I think so. Well, there's a heavy
27:33
Catholic religiosity down there. Yeah, but I'm pretty sure. However, I
27:38
don't know if Mexico itself has a religion. Shut up, you know what
27:45
I mean, Stewart, They're they're the they are against the death penalty,
27:51
against death because a lot of the times, just like the US has a
27:53
lot of things that came up from a Christian that we have a lot of
28:00
all in place, Mexico has these beliefs. A lot of country, well,
28:03
a lot of countries that don't have any religion don't believe in the death
28:06
penalty. Yes, so I'm not sure if it's the religion or Okay,
28:10
well I'm gonna look it up and see Stewart, you do that while I
28:11
read this. He pleaded guilty in March of twenty seventeen to the murder of
28:18
Lori and he was sentenced to thirty years in prison. All right, so
28:22
I did a good quick cook concertion. I was wrong. I'll admit that
28:27
you shouldn't that I was wrong. Yes, they just don't believe in the
28:33
death penalty. I don't know why, but they don't, and they haven't
28:37
extrated They actually abolished the death penalty, it's said in two thousand and five,
28:41
I think, But they haven't extra doted to countries that have the death
28:45
penalty since nineteen eighty one. And the religious thing wouldn't really necessarily be accurate
28:51
because apparently a lot of the surrounding countries, which are also majority like Catholic
28:56
and stuff, still have the death penalty. So that's it is that it
29:04
write me your hate mail, Okay, I will. What's you're an email
29:10
address? It's Stuart Wow. Whoa, whoa. I probably am going to
29:18
get some hate mail for that, but I'm too tired to like go back
29:19
and edit it out, so we'll just we'll just leave it in. It'll
29:23
give somebody something to get riled up about it. Now, we haven't had
29:26
any reviews coming in like three or four weeks now, review any at all,
29:30
not an it I feel like people have gotten away from reviews. But
29:36
they don't even give us a five star or I don't even know if they're
29:38
giving us five or one stars. Who whoever's on iTunes. We'll get like
29:44
a new thing once every three or four weeks. So why are you telling
29:48
everybody, how, how, how how what losers we are that we don't
29:52
get new reviews on iTunes. Oh that's not a reflection on us, because
29:56
our numbers are good. That's reflection on you people who me No, the
30:02
listeners, we're doing just fine, Matt. Yeah, so this will probably
30:11
spark some reviews. They'll be like angry. Yeah yeah, that's because we're
30:14
supposed to get groceries tonight delivered. Somebody stole them, and the driver I'm
30:18
pretty sure just stole our groceries because he he uploaded a picture, but he
30:26
just took an up up like an up close picture of something I don't know,
30:30
the Barcoe with my name, you know, Like normally they're supposed to
30:32
take a picture of like where they left the groceries. The door the front
30:34
of the house. Yeah, so I was gonna get in the neighborhood group
30:37
on Facebook, and I was like, well, I can at least show
30:40
this picture of the door and be like, hey, whose house or our
30:42
groceries? At No. He took an up close picture of one of the
30:47
stickers on something on the bag, but it wasn't on the bag. It
30:51
was on some pink and black thing that he had laid the sticker on and
30:55
took a taking a picture. So I'm pretty sure he stole our groceries which
30:59
there that Walmart had refunded me and everything, but it took forever. But
31:03
what I'm real man at is there was some sidewalk chalk on there that was
31:07
on regular ten ninety nine and it was on clearance for two ninety seven,
31:11
and I got the last pack at Walmart, actually was able to get it
31:15
for that cheap price, and this motherfucker stole it. That's the true crime.
31:19
We need it's solved. Yes, let's find out where Matthew is in
31:23
my clearance sidewalk chalk. Matthew and Midland, Texas. And you're listening to
31:29
this while you're driving around stealing people's groceries. We want our sidewalk and I
31:33
we you play yogurts that I was really wanting because they've been out of stock,
31:37
and they finally got them back in and I ordered six of them,
31:38
even though they're pricey. I bit the bullet. You don't think Robert got
31:44
out of prison early on parole and his masquerade in his Matthew, do you?
31:48
I think so? And he probably wears that, yes, it could
31:53
have happened. Yeah, anyway, so some shifty motherfuckers and Midland ten there
31:59
are. I guess you told everybody where we moved. Do we already tell
32:02
everybody were moved? You did years ago? Years ago? We haven't been
32:08
here for years. Well, people are sending us comments saying that we live
32:13
in the armpit of Texas. Oh okay, well that's fine. It's you
32:16
know what, there's less. It's less. Actually it's I don't think it's
32:19
the armpit because it's very it's much less humid here, and I'm okay with
32:23
that right now. I need a break from the humidity. Not gonna lie,
32:25
guys. I was station in twenty nine Palms for a couple of months
32:29
out in California. That's the armpit of the country. No, if there's
32:35
an asshole to the country, twenty nine palms is inside of that. Yeah,
32:38
we're actually I believe it or not. We're actually enjoying our time here
32:44
in Midland. Believe it or not. It's really not that bad. We
32:46
have a real nice backyard and we don't ever we're homebodies. We never leave
32:51
our house. So you might get murdered. Yeah, I mean, have
32:54
you listened to these podcasts. You could be murdered in any damn time.
32:58
I know you could be mardyered in your own damn house. Yeah. It
33:00
happens all the time while your wife all right, well, do you ever
33:04
y'all need Jesus horse to of course I have one. I don't know why
33:07
I eat a lot of people and act like I don't ever have one coming
33:12
to us. From The New York Post published October fourth, twenty twenty three.
33:16
Bank robber who was busted counting cash outside the bank tried the scheme again
33:23
and failed. Florida or Not Florida Not Florida. An Alaskan bank robber who
33:30
was caught immediately after his heist while counting his loot outside the targeted branch,
33:37
was nabbed again on Monday, trying to rob the same Why was he nabbed
33:40
when he was counting the cash outside? I thought that's what he was caught,
33:45
you said, count, you said caught again immediately after his heist,
33:50
while counting his loot outside the targeted branch, was nabbed again on Monday,
33:58
trying to rob the same bank. Why was he out? Can I read
34:01
the story? Okay? This is like that meme about women, like if
34:05
you just let me finish the story, maybe everything will fall into place,
34:08
kind of like you're asking me stuff about a movie and I'm like, well,
34:10
if you just watch it, maybe the movie. I don't ask you
34:14
questions about a movie, Stuart, because we don't watch movies because Sister Wise
34:17
is always on More Freaking some other goddamn reality show. I don't have the
34:21
you know what, I've lost the ability to watch a movie because it's just
34:24
too long. Yeah, I mean anything more than fifteen minutes songs. Oh,
34:28
I did get into like I started, I was watching like the Nora
34:31
Efron, like Julie and Julia. I got into that it's complicated, and
34:37
what's complicated the movie? We watched it. I did the other other week.
34:43
I did actually watch a couple movies on Sunday, well which one was
34:45
complicated? It's complicated, was the title of the movie. Was it complicated?
34:52
Okay, just finish the story. So anyway, Michael Gaile Nash,
34:54
forty nine was swiftly, swiftly hear me taking into custody for carrying out the
35:00
failed scheme that close closely resembled his fumble from five years earlier. Oh so
35:07
he got he did the thing where he where he robbed the bank and counted
35:12
the money outside five years ago and got rested. And then he's been out
35:15
and he tried it again. Are you trying to esp end the story or
35:20
would you like me to continue reading it? Okay? Continue the botch.
35:23
Twenty eighteen, Burgerley earned him a spot on at least one Dumbest Criminals list
35:30
after he slipped a teller a demand note with his name and birth date scrawled
35:35
on the back. Clad in black jeans, black boots, a black car
35:38
heart jacket, and a black hat, Nash allegedly sauntered up to a First
35:44
National Bank and anchorage at nine am and began violently pulling on the front doors.
35:49
According to the Alaska US Attorney's Office. Employees told Nash through the glass
35:53
that the bank would not open for another hour, but he stood his ground
35:57
and passed a note through the locked doors to the bank supervisor. The note
36:00
said, this is a robbery. Put the money in the bag and I
36:04
will walk out. This is a robbery. God help us all. But
36:08
he can't walk hill. He's not in. This is what the note read.
36:14
According to an arrest after David AFFI David, it does not appear that
36:19
Nash included his personal information on the note this time around. The supervisor immediately
36:23
yelled for the bank door to be locked via a secondary locking mechanism and called
36:30
nine to one one, but Nash continued loitering in front of the branch.
36:35
A nervous and stuttering Nash allegedly rejected a bank security officers please for the robber
36:39
to leave, and instead encouraged the security officer to call police. When they
36:46
finally arrived, Nash peacefully submitted and was transported to an Anchorage police department back.
36:53
Maybe while he was being put in handcuffs and while he was in the
36:58
bank in the back of the troll car, Nash made several excited utterances that
37:04
it was not his first time robbing a bank. Officers later recounted to the
37:08
FBI investigators. FBI Anchorage ran a records check for Michael Gail Nash, and
37:15
they revealed that Nash was arrested, charged, and convicted for robbing the same
37:20
First National Bank in twenty eighteen. Although he followed a near identical mo it's
37:28
method of operation. That's modus operandi store yep, that's what I said the
37:35
Monday morning hold up, motive, opportunity, and also keys to the keys
37:42
to the bank, the four things that police look for. The Monday morning
37:46
hold up was not nearly as effective as as twenty eighteen heist. Nash made
37:52
off with four hundred dollars in a bag after handling the teller a note on
37:57
a completed form for affordable reading, this is a hold up. Please put
38:02
the money they want in the bag. God help us. After just a
38:08
few minutes, Nash was spotted sitting outside the bank counting the bills. For
38:13
the crime, he was given a three hundred and sixty six day prison term,
38:16
followed by five years of supervised released, he could be sentenced up to
38:21
twenty years in prison. This time around the attorney's office. That's ten years
38:24
less than a guy I got for murder, well for being a doc.
38:28
And I think he wants to go to prison. I think that's where he's
38:30
trying to get. Nash has several other conviction on his rap sheets, including
38:35
stealing personal property in nineteen ninety three and forgery in two thousand. Hey,
38:39
we know somebody this forge and stuff. Aren't you getting an attorney for that?
38:43
Stuart Jesus he that comment. Okay, scratch that from the record.
38:52
I'm not in legal trouble. I can tell you that. But somebody else's
38:55
he tried to go after them. He also received a court maru in nineteen
39:00
ninety six for distributing drugs, according to an affidavit filed by an FBI investigator.
39:06
Okay, was he in that military? I guess, Marshall, I'm
39:10
done. I'm over this. You know what. We got a review saying
39:14
that people were sick and tired of your your attitude about the yelling. Yeah
39:16
that was the last actual review that she was sick of your your bs about
39:22
this yeall ne gay anything nice about me? Well she wasn't that. She
39:28
wasn't as hateful as I'm making it out to be, but she didn't appreciate
39:30
it, or he didn't whatever. Well, now they got something else to
39:35
bitch about. Now, suck it. You suck it, not the reviewer.
39:39
You trust me. It's not happening. What And that's why I'm on
39:47
tender. He's not on tender, okay you Oh, I do get a
39:55
little frustrated when Stue is giving us y'all need Jesus and gets cut off.
40:02
Please let him finish telling us the stories so we can decide for ourselves if
40:07
it's stupid or not some of them, some of them. Yeah, Okay,
40:13
you know what, You're not in the room with him. Whatever.
40:15
We're at the end of this. We've already been in here for however long,
40:19
and I'm ready to go, and I have to hear Stu continue to
40:22
read through a news article. It's not my fault. You got a poop.
40:27
Oh my god, I do not Stewart. That is so inappropriate.
40:31
I hate you. I do not need to go to the restroom anyways.
40:37
Okay, well finish your story since apparently I'm the fuddy duddy. Okay,
40:43
this all goes back to that one where you were talking about that one.
40:45
Get celebrity. It was a country and Western singer, but you wouldn't know
40:52
anything about country music because alls you listen to is like Keith Urban and I
40:54
do not listen. I do listen to Garth Brooks, not even country.
41:00
Okay, back getting back to the story. The end, Jesus Christ.
41:07
Okay, all right, Well I'm unapologetic about my you'll need Jesus. All
41:15
right. Well that is us. That is it for tonight. That was
41:21
it for us. That's it, all right. So you think there's anybody
41:30

42:12
hurting, and I'm sick of this's worry. Bou
