  Speaker 2: Fancy Southern families. Rich Southern families.

  Speaker 4: Kind of like the Murdochs?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was similar situations. They were Southern families.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Royalty. Aristocrats, or whatever you call them.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Whatever you call them, yes.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Got brought down by their own hubris.

  Speaker 4: Yes, that was in Midland. We were not in Midland
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: that month.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: We haven't been, we've only been here a month. So,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like it's.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Seems like a long time since we haven't completely unpacked
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: our house yet. I say we're only about a quarter
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: away through the process of unpacking and sorting all the
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: crap that goes along with it. Trying to find pediatricians, doctors,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: pediatric dentists.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And things for these children to do. I wanted to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: mention on the buy me a coffee. So Lisa, she
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was so sweet after I had my, so on the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: sit and sipping and bullshit. And I told quite the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: work story from my first week at work. And I'm still,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: if I start to talk about it again, I will
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: start laughing. So anyway, she was, she sent me, she sent, um,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: told me to go buy me a coffee and then
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: she accidentally did it twice. And I was, I've been
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out how to refund her the other ones, but.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: She told me to keep it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: But, She was very nice to send me the coffees,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and I definitely went and have gotten me a coffee
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: at work. So thank you very, very much.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I have received nothing from this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: No, you haven't. So, well, the coffee makes me a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: nicer person. I mean, by the time I see you,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the coffee's worn off.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: No, it's worn off by the time you get home.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: But the people at work, it's helping my performance review.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I'm a likable person. Yes, I had people come up
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: and tell me I was cool. I was a cool girl.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I was awesome after I did my Who Am I?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And told my story. If you've been here a while,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I told my story about witnessing the armed robbery.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And Kelly Clarkson.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And Kelly Clarkson.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Your two go-tos.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Those are my two stories. I used them both. And
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: then they thought it was funny that we had our
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: kids riding across into Mexico on a donkey. So... Everyone's
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: also shocked. I mean, like, at this point in time,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: if you have four children, I feel like you're just like,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they think you're like a giant family.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's the one where you had that picture of
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: me hunched over so the one-year-old wouldn't fall off the donkey.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: And it looks like I'm hanging on for dear life.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, I forgot to tell Stu I put that in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the picture, because I had to put pictures.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: So I can never go to a work function.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And meet these people. No, you can't. Oh, they got
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a big Christmas thing.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm not going, evidently. Oh, it's the guy that
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: was hunched over.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Hanging on that donkey.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Hunchy Dan over there.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Come on, Wheezy.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Get it together.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: While you're at it, make sure you're following us on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and YouTube to catch my True Crime and Dinner Time series,
• 5:24

• 5:41
  Speaker 2: movies in bed with snacks.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: So I just got to dial it up and look
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: at what you're telling me?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Are you inviting me to the bed with you? No. Okay.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: No, this is a solo activity. Anyways, as always, the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: best way to support the show is to rate, review, subscribe,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: wherever you're listening right now. So go ahead and grab
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: your mason jar. I'm drinking hot chocolate out of a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: ghost cup right now.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Somebody's got to work tomorrow.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And let's go ahead and get into today's story. You know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I was going to stay on point with this one
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: because I was like, it's late. We got to say it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: But the problem is when it's late, I start getting silly.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: A little silly. Okay. Well, our story begins with the
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: highest echelons of North Carolina society, Kara.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You got to read it like, our story begins with
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the highest echelons of North Carolina society.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they talk, that sounds like Charles.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: In the 1970s and 1980s, it's all the same over there.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: You think?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: It's Carolinas, yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Well, now we're going to get hate mail.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: In the 70s and 1980s, the Sharp and Newsom families
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: were practically Southern aristocracy. Aristocracy?
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Aristocracy.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, we had the... I was joking and reading Stu
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: this story, started reading it to him like that to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: mess with him, and I mispronounced aristocracy.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Aristocracy. Aristocracy.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I'm good at with numbers. Aristocracy. I couldn't pronounce it there,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and I completely forgot you corrected me, and then just
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: now it just happened again. I'm never going to get
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: that word.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Well, whenever I make jokes about being suave and debonier,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: then I pronounce it debonier a lot whenever I don't
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: mean to.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I always say, because I thought it was pronounced promise,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and you told me it wasn't. And so now, still,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I won't use that word in public because I'm going
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to accidentally say promise.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: You'll be like, oh, you're British.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yes. Vitamins and aluminium. All right, go on. I just
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: had to say that's how it reads in my head.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Well, Susie Sharp Newsome was the niece and namesake of
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Chief Justice Susie Sharp. the first female Chief Justice of
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: the North Carolina Supreme Court. Her father, Bob Newsom, was
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: an executive at Reynolds Tobacco, and her mother, Florence, was
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: deeply respected across Winston-Salem. I gave these people a lot
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: of money myself.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, the cigarette people?
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: This guy got on the elevator today. He was, like,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: working on the building or whatever, and he smelt very
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: strongly of cigarettes.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Or whatever just went to a smoke right.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah and all i was thinking when i was sitting
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: there i was like man that smells like how stew
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: used to smell yeah stew was a disgusting smoker at
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: one point in his life okay.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Hey we might have other people that smoke.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: With okay well we're you need to quit okay i'll
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: keep drinking you quit smoking.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Though jesus Susie grew up with every privilege that you
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: could possibly imagine for such a family. Private schooling, country clubs,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: and debutante balls.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Debutantes.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Debutantes. She was suave and debonier.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, with the permise of it all.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Caviar and Corvus air.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Cabassier. All right.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: In 1972, Susie married.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Tom Lynch, a young dentist. They had two sons, John,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: born in 1974, and Jim, born in 1976. Could we
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: be any more boring with these names? Susie, Tom, John,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and Jim.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Generic Americana.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: But behind the closed doors of their upscale home, the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: marriage deteriorated quickly. Susie was erratic, intensely jealous, and prone
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to extreme emotional outbursts.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: So she's a woman.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Stuart, shut up!
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with you? Although I can say that
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Relate to three of the four.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Relate to a couple of those. While Tom struggled to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: manage her growing paranoia. The couple ended up moving to Albuquerque,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: New Mexico Tom wanted to get away from their families because,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: like I said, they were a very Southern aristocratic family,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: very prominent out there. And Albuquerque, New Mexico was an
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: up-and-coming town, and so he could easily start his own
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: dental practice. However, Susie hated New Mexico more. And she
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: got fed up with it, and around 1981, they separated,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and she headed back to North Carolina with her family.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: The custody agreement became Susie's obsession. She viewed any contact
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: between her sons and their fathers as a direct assault
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: on her authority. So she started brainwashing the young boys,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: coaching them to tell social workers and judges that their
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: father was abusive, that he neglected them, and that they
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: feared for their lives whenever they were sent to New Mexico.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Every court hearing became a battlefield of affidavits, emergency injunctions,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: and false accusations.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, this is a classic tactic by some parents
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: in divorce proceedings is to turn the children against the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: other parent.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Or if they're both after it, they're both trying.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: To do it. Yeah. Then in 1982 entered the man
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: who would turn this custody dispute into a bloodbath, Frederick
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Fritz Klinner. Oh, Frederick Flitz Klinner. I got going on
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: another sentence there. Fritz was Susie's first cousin, the son
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: of Dr. Fred Klinner Sr., a famous Reidsville physician known
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: for controversial high-dose vitamin C therapies. He was ahead of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: his time using emergencies.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: I've heard of these people. They bring in almost a
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: toxic dose of vitamin C.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like they believe that you overload the body
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: with vitamin C, it'll cure whatever the hell you eat.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: So Fritz was 31 years old. He lived in a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: complete fantasy world. He wore combat fatigues, collected military assault rifles,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and drove around Greensboro in a dark Chevy Blazer outfitted
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: with police scanners and hidden compartments. He was living a
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: fantastical lifestyle where he was apparently... G.I.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Joe. Just living off the grid with a bunch of money.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: On the grid.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: In the middle.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Of town.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, in the middle of town.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Fritz told everyone in town that he was a licensed
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: medical doctor who had attended medical school at Duke. He
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: claimed he was secretly recruited by the CIA. God, I
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: can't talk either. CIA and the Covert Operations Division of
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: the United States government.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: In reality.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: You know, you're not supposed to say those things, Stu.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: If you're a part of those things.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: No. That's how you kind of know. In reality, Fritz
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: had never even graduated from college, let alone medical school.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: He worked out of his father's medical office in Reidsville
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: as a fake doctor, writing illegal prescriptions and treating patients
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: under his father's name. Just for funsies. So he was
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: a medical doctor.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Just for funsies.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: He could write scripts.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So when Susie moved to Greensboro, I'd like to go
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to Greensboro. That's where that, I always watch that show,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: My Big Fat Fabulous Life. That's where she's. She lived— I
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: don't really watch as much now because it's kind of
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: gone downhill, but I like the town. I like the town.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: It looks pretty. Anyways, there's also some— where was that other place?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. There's some mountains or something up there.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Boone.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Boone, North Carolina. Boone?
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Don't know.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Someone knows. When Susie moved to Greenboro, she turned to
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: her cousin Fritz for protection against what she claimed was
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: an impending kidnapping plot by Tom Lynch. Very quickly, their
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: relationship crossed the line from cousins to an intense, secret,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: romantic affair kissing cousins, too.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Stop it. Were they first cousins?
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It's funny because I listen to that one podcast, the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Sister Wives podcast or whatever. And they cover other reality shows,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: and they were covering My Big Fat Gypsy American Wedding
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: or whatever. And they marry their cousins a lot in
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the gypsy thing. So there actually was some first cousins
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: getting married. But the gypsies or that show at the time,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: they're like, but gay people? No. And we're like, bitch.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: You just married your cousin.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Incest is okay, but gays?
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Your uncle's? Your uncle's? I mean, that could be your
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: mom's brother's kid.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, the first cousin.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is your uncle's kid. It's your cousin.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, and they're like, but they're like, oh, yeah, not,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: but gay marriage is, that's a gay relationship. That's disgusting.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: It's like, you have incest. Like, did I say intense
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: or incest?
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you said.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I don't listen to you half the time. Anyways, so yeah,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: so they're in this romantic affair. Fritz and... fed Susie's paranoia,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: convincing her that Tom Lynch was backed by shadowy government
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: operatives who wanted to steal her boys. Fritz told Susie
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: that the only way to save John and Jim was
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to eliminate everyone standing in her way. So it's like
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: two crazies got together, you know?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: And now they're one big ball of crazy.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: One big ball of crazy. Everyone's like, yeah, that's exactly what.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Everybody's trying to do.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: And then the aliens are going to come.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And that squirrel's talking to me over there. That squirrel's
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: making gestures at me.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: He was in the CIA with me. By the summer
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: of 1984, the custody dispute reached a crisis point. A
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: North Carolina judge warned Susie that if she continued to
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: withhold the children from their scheduled visitation with Tom, she
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: would be held in contempt and custody would be stripped
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: from her entirely. Tom had financial backing. His mother, Dolores Lynch,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: was a wealthy 68-year-old widow, and his sister, Janie Lynch,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: was a 39-year-old executive. They lived in an exclusive estate
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: in Kentucky, in Prospect, Kentucky, right side of Louisville, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: they were financing Tom's legal team.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, so he has money.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: He's got his dentist money, but that ain't going to
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: go far whenever you start paying attorneys.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and, you know, everybody has money in this situation.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: You know, it's... Just throwing money at these attorneys.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: A bunch of people throwing money, and... I don't know why.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I feel like he should have maybe stayed in North
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Carolina near the children, though, you know.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: But Susie was crazy.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was crazy. And like.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Susie probably drove by his house every five minutes. This
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: is true. If he still lived in Greensboro.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: He's like, I got to get all the way across
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the country. Sorry, kids.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Peace out.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: You're stuck with that bitch.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: On Stuart.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: What?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Don't say that. I mean, she is. But don't say that. Okay,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: on Sunday morning, July 22nd, 1984, Dolores Lynch drove home
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: from church to her prospect estate. As she pulled her
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: car into the garage and stepped toward the breezeway carrying
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: her Bible and purse, an assassin stepped out, Stu, of
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the shadows.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I guess she was rich enough to have an assassin. Yes.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I would just be murdered.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, if you're poor, you're crazy, but if you're rich,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you're eccentric. So, like, Old Fritz, he was just eccentric.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: He wasn't crazy.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: And he was an assassin, not a murderer.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, the killer shot Dolores in the face with a
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: 9mm pistol.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Ouch.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Inside the house, her daughter Janie heard the gunshot and
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: ran toward the kitchen door. The killer met her in
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: the hallway, firing multiple rounds into her chest and head.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Is a 9mm, is that big?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's the one that I carry.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, no, I'm asking that because I know there's the,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I guess it's the.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: 22.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: They say if you shoot somebody, there's a good chance
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you're not actually going to kill them. No, you're just
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: going to make them mad. But a 9mm, you're going to.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's cruel if you kill somebody with a. 22
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: if you don't hit them right the first time because
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: you just got to keep shooting them. Or they're going
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: to get mad, take that gun away from you, and
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: beat you to death with it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And have a better luck than the bullets. Yes.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Both women died instantly. When family and friends discovered the
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: bodies two days later, nothing in the house was stolen. Purses,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: expensive jewelry, and cash were sitting in plain view. It
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: was a cold, calculated, military-style double execution.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Kentucky State Police initially suspected Tom Lynch, believing he might
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: have killed his mother and sister for an inheritance. But
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Tom was 2,000 miles away in New Mexico, surrounded by
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: dozens of witnesses. When detectives asked Tom who would want
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: his family dead, Tom told them, without hesitation, look at
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: that crazy bitch ex-wife of mine, Susie, and look at
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: her crazy cousin fucker, Fritz. I shouldn't have said that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Cousin fucker?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: No.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Well, they were.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: This is not sitting, sipping, and bullshitting.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: And you're not even drinking, so you don't even have
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: an excuse.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I don't have an excuse. I'm high on hot chocolate.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Detectives contacted police in Greensboro, North Carolina, asking them to
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: interview Fritz and Susie, but Fritz was a cunning fella.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: When detectives stopped by his Greensboro apartment, Fritz calmly showed
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: them a fake CIA credential. Maintained that he had spent
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: the entire weekend working on patients at his father's clinic
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: in reedsville with.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: His fake i just can see him like you know
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: like like some crazy person that thinks they're a cop
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: and they hold up like a sheriff's.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Badge like a toy one.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Yes he's got his his like fake stethoscope sir i was.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: In surgery all week all week well old fritz dismissed
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: the inquiry as a as a ridiculous attempt to smear
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: him by tom lynch because kentucky investigators had no physical
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: evidence or ballistics match the investigation stalled out i mean
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: you're in kentucky they're in north carolina they're in north
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: carolina what you're gonna do.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah i guess whenever um This is a double southern
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: state situation. We have a North Carolina crossover.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: We have jurisdictional issues.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: With Tom's mother and sister dead, Susie believed the custody
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: fight was over because she's like, well, he ain't got
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: no money. Well, that money has to go somewhere. Jesus.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: The inheritance money.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: But Tom didn't back down. He pressed forward in court.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: And in early 1985, the ultimate betrayal occurred within Susie's
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: own family. Susie's father, Bob Newsome, never trust a Bob,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: and her mother, Florence, had grown sick and tired of
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Susie's lies. They loved their grandsons, John and Jim, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: they knew Tom was a good father. So they're like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: we can't even get behind you. You got your cousin
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: over there.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: You're diddling.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: We got a cousin.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I said diddling this time, Stu. And you're crazy. You
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: guys are riding around in his Chevy Blazer with his
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: secret compartments.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Telling people you're in the CIA? Yes. In April of 1985,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Bob Newsom met privately with Tom's attorneys. Bob told them
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: that he could no longer support his daughter's fabrications. He
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: agreed to take the witness stand at the upcoming custody
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: hearing and testify under oath that Susie was mentally unstable,
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: that she was living in an inappropriate relationship with her
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: first cousin Fritz, and that custody of the two boys
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: should be granted to Tom Lynch.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: To Susie and Fritz, Bob's decision was high treason.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: You think?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. On Saturday evening, May 18, 1985, Bob and Florence
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: were visiting Bob's 84-year-old mother, Hattie Newsome, at her home
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: on Valley Road in Winston, Salem. Around 9 o'clock that night,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: someone knocked on the back door.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Bob Newsome went to open the door. likely recognizing whoever
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: was standing outside. The killer shot Bob through the doorway,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: hitting him twice in the chest. Florence Newsome, hearing the shot,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: screamed and tried to run toward the telephone, but the
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: killer pursued her into the dining room, shooting her dead.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: The gunman then walked down the hallway to the bedroom
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: where the elderly, frail Hattie Newsome was sitting and shot
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: her point-blank in the head.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And there was no reason to go and do that,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: that she didn't see anything. She's down in the... That's
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: just cold. Just like the Kentucky crime scene 10 months earlier,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: the house was left completely undisturbed. Purses were left untouched,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: silver sets were sitting in cabinets, and no drawers were ransacked.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: It was a merciless triple execution designed to eliminate the
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: one witness whose testimony would have cost Susie custody of
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: her boys because there ain't no way you're getting to
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: keep custody if your own family... Comes in and says,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: you should not have these children.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: You're mentally unstable.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: When Winston-Salem detectives discovered the bodies of three Newsom family members,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: alarms blared across the law enforcement agencies in North Carolina
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: and Kentucky. Detective Bryant Willett of the Winston-Salem Police Department
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: and SBI agent Walker Stone.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: What a great name.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Walker Stone. Stone Walker.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Agent Stone.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I got some stones for you.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's enough. Calm down. Agent Walker Stone immediately connected
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the dots between the Kentucky slayings of Tom's mother and
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: sister and the North Carolina executions of Susie's parents and grandmother.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Detectives placed Susie and Fritz under 24-hour mobile surveillance in Greensboro.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: At the same time, investigators got their first major forensic breakthrough.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: They uncovered that Fritz had recruited an impressionable 20-year-old college
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: student from Guilford College named Ian Perkins. Ian was fascinated
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: by Fritz's claim of being a CIA operative. Yeah, you
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: got to get a younger one. He's like, oh, my God,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: you're so cool. Look at the car.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Look at the fatigues.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: You got your cousin to sleep with you.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: You're so awesome. I want to bang my cousin, too.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: And Fritz had convinced Ian that they were running covert
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: missions for the federal government. There's just.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: There's just gullible people everywhere, you know?
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, there are. That's how I got you to marry me.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh. On June 1... So you finally admit it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: That you're gullible. That you're the reacher. What?
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: You're the reacher.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, please.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I settled for somebody that's gullible.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: No.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Uh, what is wrong with you?
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Nothing. On June 1, 1985, detectives intercepted Ian Perkins. During
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: an intense interrogation, Ian broke down. He admitted to police
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: that on the night of May 18, the night the
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Newsoms were murdered, he had driven Fritz in a green
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Chevy Blazer to the vicinity of Valley Road in Winston-Salem.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Ian told police that Fritz had left the vehicle carrying
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: a suppressed firearm, walked into the dark neighborhood, and returned
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: 15 minutes later. smelling of gun smoke, calmly instructing Ian
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: to just drive away.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: I can just see him just getting in the car,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: just staring for it the whole time, going, just drive, Ian.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Drive, Ian. The kids just drive. The mission's over.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Mission's complete. Detectives were stunned. They now had an eyewitness
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: placing Fritz at the scene of the murders. On Monday morning,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: June 3rd, 1985, the State Bureau of Investigation, like we said,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: the SBI, obtained the arrest warrants for Fritz for three
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: counts of first-degree murder. A joint task force consisting of
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Winston-Salem Police, that's hard to say, Winston-Salem Police, Greensboro Police,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: FBI agents, and Guilford County Sheriff Deputies, because old Guilford College,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: mobilized to take Fritz and Susie into custody.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can just about imagine. You gotta be ready
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: for this guy.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like, Waco style.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: He might have himself a little arsenal sitting there at
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: the house. I ain't coming out, coppa. Around two o'clock
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: in the afternoon on Monday, June 3rd, officers took up
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: positions around Friendly Hills apartment complex in Greensboro. Friendly Hills apartment. Yeah,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: this guy lived in an apartment too. His family had
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: all the money and dad was a doctor and he
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: was like, I'm a doctor. I'm a medical graduate living
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: in my apartment here in Friendly Hills.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: How do you know? It might have been a nice apartment.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: It could have been a luxury apartment.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't want to have to deal with mowing
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the lawn or fixing the air conditioner.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Or changing his air conditioner.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure his dad was paying his way and
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: he's probably like, that's all you're getting.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Get out of my house. Get in this apartment.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Here's this apartment.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Beside the point. Anyway, so they surround the apartment complex
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: because Fritz and Susie were staying there. But Fritz was
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: heavily armed and monitoring the local police frequencies.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Of course he was.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: He had the police scanner. Before tactical teams could block
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: the exit, Fritz, Susie, and Susie's two young sons, John
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: and Jim, ran out of the apartment, piled in the
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Fritz's Chevy Blazer, and sped out of the parking lot.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, and their children were young, like 9 and 10
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: years old.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: So this is quite a traumatic event.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Officers in unmarked and marked cruisers gave immediate chase. As
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: the blazer turned north toward Highway 220, Fritz pulled a
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: machine gun from the center console, stuck the barrel out
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: of the driver's window, and just began just spraying bullets
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: all over there with the pursuing police cars. So bullets
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: are ricocheting off windshields, just everywhere, disabling, he disabled several
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: of the cruisers, he wounded a bunch of the officers.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, he is a madman on a mission.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a suicide mission, it sounds like. Fritz swerved into
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Highway 150 near Summerfield, driving at high speeds while continuing
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: to fire bursts from his machine gun. I guess he
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: had a fully auto weapon. The chase lasted for 15
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: terrifying minutes. Then at approximately 3.10 p.m., about a mile
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: east of US-220, if you know where that's at, The
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Chevy Blazer suddenly slowed down.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we say the exact place and someone's like, hey,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I was just there.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: I remember that. I was there. I saw it. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: had to pull over as they rolled by.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Witnesses and pursuing officers saw a sudden blinding flash of
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: white light from inside the cabin, followed by a deafening
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: explosion that shook the ground for miles. Fritz had rigged
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the interior of the Blazer with plastic explosives, dynamite, and grenades.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: The blast lasted obliterated the roof, blew the doors off
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: their hinges, and scattered debris and weapons across pastures and
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: tree branches hundreds of feet away. Because, I mean, remember,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: there are two small children in this.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Vehicle. Yeah, this is just crazy, but this guy actually...
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: rigged his vehicle to blow up, and then he actually
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: went through with it. When emergency teams approached the smoking
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: wreckage in the ditch, the devastation was total. Susie Newsome's
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: body had been blown entirely out of the vehicle into
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: a nearby culvert. Fritz was found on the roadway fatally
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: injured and died within minutes from massive internal hemorrhaging.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Now, the real tragic part of this is inside the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: charred frame of the back seat were the bodies of
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: 10-year-old John and 9-year-old Jim. But the most horrifying discovery
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: of this entire saga came days later from the state
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: medical examiner's autopsy. The coroner determined that the two boys
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: had not died from the blast. Before the vehicle was
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: ever exploded, both little boys had been administered lethal doses
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: of cyanide, and both had been shot execution-style in the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: head at point-blank range. Gunshot residue tests indicated that it
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: was their own mother, Susie, who pulled the trigger on
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: her sons before the bomb went off.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: In total, nine lives were taken. Dolores and Janie Lynch
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: in Kentucky, Bob, Florence, and Hattie Newsome in Winston-Salem, and
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: finally John, Jim, Susie, and Fritz on the Highway 150
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: in North Carolina. A bitter custody battle began in a
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: family courtroom. Ended in an act of absolute family annihilation.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then, I mean, Tom's the only one, he's
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: going to have to live with all this. I mean, everybody's,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: everyone he knew is dead.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Pretty much.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes, and if you, this is a book that
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: was in, it's available on Kindle Unlimited. It's called Bitter Blood.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: That's where we got most of our information from. So
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: if you want to check it out and learn more
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: about the story, because it is, it's absolutely insane. It's
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: freaking insane.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: All right, let's try to bring it back down to
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: something silly, Stu, okay?
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: It was a little heavy.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: It was a little heavy there at the end, guys, okay?
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Losing the nine and the ten-year-old, yes.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was a very heavy episode, Stu.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was there toward the end, yes.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: I can't even... Poor kids, they had to go through
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: this whole thing with Susie this whole time, the custody fight,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: and then she just, no happy ending.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: All right. Do you have a y'all need Jesus horse
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: to bring us out of this? I do.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: We're going to go to the New York Post. Burglar
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: dressed in a cow onesie steals vapes from a smoke shop.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Florida or not Florida?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Florida.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: Florida.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Coming to us from the New York Post by David DeTurris,
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: published August 25th, 2026. And let me tell you something.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: David's got jokes. Utterly despicable. A Tennessee thief was caught
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: on camera sporting a ridiculous cow onesie when he and
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: an accomplice broke into a smoke shop and stole a
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: handful of vapes, according to photos released by police. The
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: bovine burglar, was first spotted trying to handle the handle
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: of a door to the vape store in Smyrna with
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: another masked person around 2 a.m. August 9th, police officers say.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: The Longhorn larcenist was seen decked out in the goofy
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: disguise during the casing while their partner in crime opted
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: for a much more low-key all-black getup. Exactly a week later,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: The pilfering livestock returned to the vape shop with two
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: other compatriots around 1 a.m. Cops said that the crew
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: made their way into the store and then ran off
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: with multiple vape products. The trio, including the cowman, are
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: still on the lam. The Smyrna Police Department said... So,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: he hasn't been caught yet. As of yet.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: The livestock bandit is on the lam.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: The cow onesie thief is running free.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I can't remember.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Did you say that was Florida or not Florida?
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: What were you doing over there?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I was looking something up.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: What?
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Was it Florida or not Florida?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, Tennessee.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I sometimes get distracted.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: It's late, Stuart.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: What do you want from me?
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: It's only 11 o'clock.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I gotta get to bed. All right. Well, do you
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: have anything else for us, Stuart?
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I do not.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Well, don't forget to rate, review, subscribe. Make sure to
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: join us on Patreon for our Friday episode. We've been
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: recording it on Friday, so it goes out late Friday.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Because it's hard to record it too far ahead of time.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Especially if we have libations. Is that how you call it?
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: That's what you would call it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, I can't be doing that on a school night,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: you know. Anyways, so join us there. And then I
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: think that's it. So, I'm getting tired. I can't remember.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: All right. Anything else, Stu?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, stay safe. Lock your doors and keep
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: that porch light on.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Bye, everyone.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Say bye, Stu.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Bye, Stu. Don't you know it's bad luck.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: To be superstitious?
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: But nothing else is working and my head is really hurting.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of all this worrying about things I can't control.
