- 1:37solved. Oh yay, I love these.
- 1:40Yeah, San Diego. Jury convicts.
- 1:43A man for a murder that happened in. 1969, this past week in City
- 1:48Heights, they were able to use DNA evidence and forensic G and
- 1:54genealogy the way that they are finding these killers these
- 1:59days. Yeah.
- 2:00It is the way. Yep to find.
- 2:04John suppose in a November 1969. Rape and murder of a woman named
- 2:10Mary Scott, the Final deliberation was last Thursday
- 2:16and he is 76 year-old but you know what?
- 2:21Seventy six year olds can still get convicted of first-degree
- 2:23murder. This is true.
- 2:28Yeah, at the time Mary was 23 years old.
- 2:31She was a go-go dancer, she had two kids, and they found her in
- 2:35her apartment in Cal. Listen, Sandy, is it City?
- 2:39It's in San Diego. On 39th Street near University
- 2:42Avenue. He raped and strangled her and
- 2:48he actually kicked in her door. He left behind loads of DNA
- 2:54evidence which now and, you know, the 2020s we've been able
- 3:00to link back to him so it's always nice when people actually
- 3:06think about desserts. Yeah.
- 3:08Eventually they get it. Yeah, his sentencing is
- 3:11scheduled for April 22nd and then he's expected to get a
- 3:15seven-year to life term sentence, but, honestly, seven
- 3:19years might be All he has left. So yeah, especially with David
- 3:25still going around and a red nose.
- 3:29Really got a lot of covid in the beginning so who knows but yeah
- 3:32hope that her family feels some Solace.
- 3:36You know she does have two children who are still alive.
- 3:39It was reopened in 2018. Once they use the same forensic
- 3:47genealogy to find the Golden State.
- 3:48Killer Pretty much California was like, oh, we on his, this is
- 3:55good. Let's do this.
- 3:58Let's keep going this nice. They they keep going through
- 4:01their old files and honestly, you know, getting more close
- 4:04cases. The guy cipo was arrested in
- 4:092020 and Mary, Scott's youngest daughter, Donna weibull, just
- 4:16never expected that they would find the Killer.
- 4:20Her and I and when she was completely in shock
- 4:24unfortunately her older sister died in 1983 in a car crash so
- 4:28the only one left alive is the youngest know.
- 4:33There's some closure right there.
- 4:34Then for her though. All you good love that.
- 4:37Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so remember your old
- 4:44apartment and how you used to live when I taste for.
- 4:47Mmm. Okay, so I'm not going to ask.
- 4:53What would happen if you do have out of there, but right before I
- 4:58moved out, like a couple months, A man jumped from the top like
- 5:02the open area. Yeah, he was a Vietnam, vet.
- 5:09Sad. Oh goodness.
- 5:11Okay so it happened in that building which was 13.
- 5:15Stories high. Hmm.
- 5:17Okay well in Washington d.c., there's a woman who jumped out
- 5:25of her a floor, our eighth floor of her apartment building and to
- 5:32get away from an attacker. Did she live.
- 5:37She lived Ice, did she hit things on the way down?
- 5:42I'm not sure because that seems how you slow the acceleration.
- 5:49Yeah. But there's some Physics
- 5:51happening here. Y'all know, I don't know.
- 5:52Science and give once you get some like a assume that once you
- 5:56get to like a maximum speed and then if you hit something that
- 6:01would hurt but then it would slow it down.
- 6:03Definitely was slow you down a little bit and then it just, you
- 6:06know. Yeah, we'll pick right back up
- 6:07after if you haven't gotten to the The bottom floor yet.
- 6:10Actually, you know, one thing I heard it was well, because it
- 6:13was this kid who didn't like feel any pain when she got hit
- 6:17by a car and she virtually, she only broke her arm, nothing
- 6:20else. Bad happened.
- 6:21And they said, the reason why she didn't is because normally
- 6:24when like the natural human instinct, when you're about to
- 6:27hit something is to tense up and we lock up and then when those
- 6:32locked limbs hit Earth or a car or something, they break so
- 6:38essentially If you're falling from afar height, just noodle
- 6:42just, you know, try and relax mr.
- 6:45Noodle sorry this is reminding me of freaking Elmo Sesame.
- 6:54Okay, so it's funny that you imagine, I mean, if you
- 6:57mentioned like being tensed up and so because her hands and her
- 7:02feet were bound together, not together, not as she was hogtied
- 7:07but you know, our feet without bound and their hands were And
- 7:09this person had her like cuffed or like, you know, right.
- 7:14So okay, so this happened on Thursday.
- 7:18So, it says, Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department.
- 7:23They, you know, they received a call about a woman falling from
- 7:27an apartment on the 8th floor and you know, they said the
- 7:32woman was bound and she was in critical condition.
- 7:34So she was already on the ground when he got this call.
- 7:36Yeah. So the person who I guess the
- 7:42attacker, his name was Kyle Kylie, Jamal, Palmer and he's 22
- 7:49years old and away at 22, man. I know and apparently they had a
- 7:57son together. So this was her ex who was
- 8:00trying to harm her look, we've heard like this is all domestic
- 8:06stuff. It's With your family, the
- 8:10partner, you know, not a stranger but damn.
- 8:13Yeah. And it was probably some type of
- 8:15custody thing going. I can only imagine what the hell
- 8:19is going on. Yeah, it sucks.
- 8:22That like the only like the people that are most likely to
- 8:26hurt you. Are the people that you trust.
- 8:30Yeah. And it's virtually impossible to
- 8:32go through life and not like trust and open yourself up to
- 8:36people and I just frigging sucks.
- 8:38Yeah, so this actually happened at 7 p.m. a lot of people were
- 8:46home to see this happen. Yeah.
- 8:52And I guess the reason for it says that Mr. Palmer he The area
- 8:59the scene and then he fled the scene.
- 9:02Yeah, if you're smart, yeah, before the cops arrived but then
- 9:05he returned to the scene when the cops are still there.
- 9:10He was this. The report says he was
- 9:13distraught. So wise.
- 9:19So, police arrested him after. Interviewing him at the woman's
- 9:24identity has not been released yet.
- 9:28If it will be release. Who knows let her heal in peace.
- 9:32Yeah. Police say that they they
- 9:35recovered a rifle style ghost gun.
- 9:39I he was going to kill her. Hey I don't know what's a ghost.
- 9:51Gonna let me do this real quick. Cuz ghost gun.
- 9:54It sounds like. It may not have been a real
- 9:56thing. I just sounds like a cool gun.
- 10:06Oh you know what? The yeah, nevermind, it's an
- 10:08untraceable gun so yeah, it real gun, he was ghetto ruin her.
- 10:13Yeah. And some and they said they
- 10:15found some type of reptile. Okay, I don't know.
- 10:19I don't know why they made was important.
- 10:25Thanks for mentioning your kind of reptile was now.
- 10:27I don't even know. Now it was.
- 10:29Yeah it was it a snake, was it? Let me know.
- 10:32Was it an illegal alligator? Oh my God.
- 10:35What if it was a Komodo dragon? And then he was drunk.
- 10:37He was gonna kill her and try to keep the body seems a good
- 10:40freaking Dragon. I can only imagine this is like,
- 10:42take a very long time. They are slow eaters.
- 10:45This is true. But there, Are poisonous jail
- 10:50because it's so toxic. Yeah, lots of creatures like
- 10:53lots of lizards are like that. Why are we always get off topic?
- 10:56I know. Okay, so anyway, so Mr. Palmer
- 10:59has been and he's, he's been charged with assault with intent
- 11:03to kill, obviously, with the gun in possession and possession
- 11:06with an unregistered firearm and possession of a large capacity
- 11:11of ammunition ammunition, feeding device.
- 11:14So, I guess he had like an extra and this is like a They're using
- 11:19ghost, I think for the reason because this is one of those
- 11:22guns that was probably used sold back out onto the street.
- 11:29All identifying markings and serial numbers are scratched
- 11:35off, scratched off or or you know, melted off and so I can't
- 11:40be traced, the only thing they have are the striations of the
- 11:43bullets to link cases together. Yeah.
- 11:48Yeah, he was deaf. He was definitely going to kill
- 11:53her. So yeah, it's a good that she
- 11:57got away and she's in she is as of this news report she's in
- 12:03critical condition but still you know still she made it.
- 12:05All right. Yeah they say how old their
- 12:08child was. No, just his infant son.
- 12:12So, oh no. He's baby, baby.
- 12:14This was the first year. Yeah, baby.
- 12:19Yeah, that's a, that's right, that's right.
- 12:23So two people listening, I know there's lots of ads in today's
- 12:27episode because you know we got eat and do you want to remind
- 12:32everybody before I jump into our regularly scheduled pot segment
- 12:37that you only have a couple days left to order and a Squatch
- 12:40t-shirt or the serial mugshot t-shirt.
- 12:45So just letting you know keeping it very brief.
- 12:48If there you go, now one of the things that I
- 13:04told people that I would do this year is I would periodically
- 13:07discuss some of the bigger names this year.
- 13:10We've talked about Bundy Alcala. It's shaping up to like once a
- 13:13month. So today I'm going to talk about
- 13:16a serial killer that is extremely polarizing in the True
- 13:19Crime Community. Every single Tick Tock.
- 13:22I've even mentioned her name in the comments, descend into
- 13:27whether she was justified, whether she was traumatized, or
- 13:30whether she was just a cold-blooded killer that woman
- 13:33is Aileen, wuornos. There has been many a
- 13:36conversation as to whether she deserved the death penalty.
- 13:39If her case was sensationalized, if it was used to help, people
- 13:42get into better political positions in Order Eileen stands
- 13:47is a particularly interesting case because she is unlike any
- 13:50other women serial killer in the vein of being transparent.
- 13:55I do want to say that I have my biases about this case and I am
- 14:01generally sympathetic to her plate.
- 14:03I will do my best to tell the story as it happened and not
- 14:07lean too hard, either direction and Brian.
- 14:10If you're wondering who Eileen was a movie came out when we
- 14:14were in high school. School called Monster.
- 14:17Okay. Remember that movie with
- 14:19Charlize Theron as Eileen? It was Charlize Theron and
- 14:26Christina Ricci. Oh, okay.
- 14:29I lie. I like Charlize did the work to
- 14:32look identical to Eileen. Christina, did not look like The
- 14:36Other Woman though. I vaguely.
- 14:39Remember the movie. I haven't seen it in a while.
- 14:42Okay. All right.
- 14:45So, like every week we start at the beginning, Aileen, wuornos
- 14:48was actually born Eileen, Carol, Pittman and watch Esther
- 14:51Michigan. On February 29th, 1956.
- 14:54Her parents were Diane and Leo deal Pittman.
- 14:57And they were 14 and 16 years old.
- 14:59When they got married on June, 3rd 1954, there were definitely
- 15:04questions about whether this was a shotgun wedding because
- 15:07Eileen's, older brother was born nine months after they got
- 15:10married. Oh, on top of it, there are
- 15:13definitely some discrepancies in the marriage certificate, and
- 15:16it's believed that Diane's parents, may have faked her
- 15:20birth certificate, so that she could get married, you know,
- 15:23having babies out of wedlock was not okay back then.
- 15:27And to be frank, history books, remember Leo Dale, Pittman as an
- 15:31abusive psychopath bordering on potentially pedophilic.
- 15:35There were certain discrepancies with Wiz age.
- 15:38I saw multiple dates of birth for him, so the age range was
- 15:43between 16 and 19. Oh, who exactly?
- 15:47So one seems more reasonable. And one seems not reasonable at
- 15:51all. That one's not good.
- 15:53The 19's looking really bad on you buddy.
- 15:56But regardless, they tried to make it work because now they
- 15:59were married and Eileen was born about nine months after her
- 16:02brother. What is the history books aren't
- 16:06kind to Leo? Honestly, he was described as
- 16:09kind of a monster of a person. They're only a couple stories.
- 16:12We know about this man but that he was raised by his
- 16:14grandparents. And then when his grandfather
- 16:16died, his grandmother tried to like spoil him and like, make
- 16:20him feel better because his grandfather was died and he
- 16:23responded by physically beating the crap out of his grandmother
- 16:28all the time, what? Hitting her when he wanted
- 16:33money. They all said he used to tie
- 16:37cats tails together and then put them over a clothesline and
- 16:42watch them fight until one killed the other, bro.
- 16:45No, yeah, Diane was absolutely terrified of her husband and
- 16:52thankfully the children weren't old enough to experience these
- 16:54things. The marriage didn't even make it
- 16:56two years before Diana filed for divorce, Leo was not there for
- 17:04Eileen's birth because he'd gotten himself, arrested for
- 17:07raping a 17 year old girl and kidnapping her and trying to
- 17:10take her to another state. He spent chime in prison into
- 17:16different. Mental institutions was
- 17:18diagnosed with schizophrenia before they finally sent him to
- 17:20a regular prison. There were Rumors in town that
- 17:24one of the other young girls, he was messing with went missing
- 17:28and he'd tried to Her to go avoid going to jail in the end.
- 17:33He ended up hanging himself in 1969.
- 17:36Eileen didn't have any relationship with him.
- 17:39Wow. Well, Diane didn't want to be a
- 17:42mom, and she didn't want to be a single mom of two kids at only
- 17:4617 years old even more. So finally in 1960, when Eileen
- 17:50was for and Keith was sick, she dropped them off at her parents
- 17:53house. And this is the most bizarre
- 17:58thing, okay? Because Diane was like 18.
- 18:02So she was still a kid herself. And so she would like, be around
- 18:08every once in a while but Diane's parents Lori and Britta
- 18:1310's adopted their grandchildren as their own children.
- 18:19And then they move to Troy Michigan.
- 18:22I mean, here's the thing. Keith was old enough to remember
- 18:25that. He had a mom.
- 18:26Oh, okay, that's different. Where's Mommy at Grandma's?
- 18:34Like, I'm your mommy. Okay, I guess they really had no
- 18:38intention of telling Eileen the truth and they hope that Keith
- 18:42would just forget. I mean, you're 68 like that
- 18:46memory is going to fade a little bit, but cats.
- 18:48Gosh, darn it. Yeah, Laurie worked at the Ford
- 18:51factory and Britta was a stay-at-home mom who was already
- 18:53taking care of her. Other two kids on top of you
- 18:58know Diane coming back and forth.
- 19:00She wasn't really excited about having two more kids to deal
- 19:02with but they finalize the adoption on March 19 1960.
- 19:06They live This old like yellow one story Ranch House in Troy
- 19:10off of Interstate 75 Eileen talks about.
- 19:13Remembering the city of Troy as a really nice place.
- 19:16It was kind of rural, a tight-knit community Lori.
- 19:20And Britta were very nice to their neighbors, but not very
- 19:22cordial, they never invited anyone into the house.
- 19:26Britta kept the windows and the curtains shut tight.
- 19:31And that was because they had a lot to hide.
- 19:33Okay, both loriann Britta were Serious alcoholics.
- 19:39Lori was a violent drunk, who abused both of the children,
- 19:44physically and sexually Eileen said that it didn't start
- 19:48sexually at first, but he beat her and a man that she stripped
- 19:52before whipping her, sometimes it was over his knee.
- 19:55Other times, he would have, whichever child was in trouble,
- 19:58like bend over a table like spread eagle or like, over a bed
- 20:04and a very sort of Psychological torture way, he would have the
- 20:09children clean and like conditioned the leather belt
- 20:14that he used. Wow, Eileen described it as
- 20:18almost ritualistic, they had to like oil and clean and massage,
- 20:22the item that was meant to hurt them.
- 20:25That's that's like a kid going out to get the switch.
- 20:28That's going to whoop your butt. Yes.
- 20:30And people totally used to do that and it's super
- 20:32traumatizing. Yeah.
- 20:38Lori was a very intimidating man, and Eileen wasn't exactly
- 20:45happy to be there. And from the beginning, she was
- 20:49pushing back against his parenting.
- 20:52And the thing is, once you're already beating, the ever-loving
- 20:56crap out of a child, it's very hard to rein them in.
- 21:00What are you going to do? Hit me some more people do beat
- 21:04me, okay? Yeah, exactly.
- 21:06And so it became very common as Eileen is growing up for them to
- 21:10just fight and Lori would tell her that she was worthless.
- 21:14Worthless Eileen set in her own by autobiography, and pretty
- 21:19much every interview that she was sexually assaulted by both
- 21:22her brother and her grandfather. And honestly, it's generally
- 21:26believed that she was being pretty honest here because of a
- 21:29lot of things were going to learn about her mental, health
- 21:31relationship, with sex and intimacy.
- 21:35And the thing is Keith was also sexually assaulted.
- 21:37And so, the outlet for this pain, for the both of them was
- 21:40setting fires when the children were eight and Six.
- 21:44They were setting lighter fuel on fire and Eileen got a serious
- 21:49burn. That was a scar on her face
- 21:51pretty much for the rest of her life.
- 21:54Now it's six Eileen. Enters Elementary School.
- 21:58And I can't imagine the kids and the folks around town like
- 22:03didn't know one of the children who lived near the wuornos house
- 22:07and rode the bus with Keith and Eileen said that she always had
- 22:10bruises on her arms cheeks and Chin.
- 22:14They say this person is also said that, like people in town
- 22:18knew that Keith and Eileen were sexual with each other, because
- 22:23they remembered that the older boys used to tease Keith about
- 22:26having sex with his sister. Oh my God.
- 22:30So you already have that going into your school Rumor Mill but
- 22:35it was like, nobody really liked Eileen.
- 22:39And so she would watch like the other little kids like hold
- 22:42hands and like little tiny packs on the flip side.
- 22:48She was getting favor from the older boys, trading, sexual
- 22:56favors for cigarettes at 11 years old.
- 23:01Her classmates called her the cigarette Pig.
- 23:03And the cigarette Bandit 1112 was also when Eileen learned
- 23:09that her parents were not her parents, and they were her
- 23:10grandparents. And at this point, she's already
- 23:13a pretty violent kid. She's a terrible temper.
- 23:15She's constantly fighting with Lori and this only set things
- 23:19off. Further the fights got so bad,
- 23:21that Christmas of 1968 Eileen said that Lori picked her up and
- 23:26threw her out in the snow, and she tried to live in the woods,
- 23:29but she came back. Two days later, he threw her out
- 23:32again. And this time, she slept in like
- 23:34abandoned cars. She ended up hanging out with
- 23:38her friend, Dawn, Bodkins, and Don, and Eileen, actually
- 23:41hitchhike to California. And this day, this solidified,
- 23:45their best friendship. They actually would stay closed
- 23:48until Eileen was executed. This is also the time that she
- 23:53starts drinking and doing drugs, they ended up hitchhiking back
- 23:57to Troy. And her grandfather did let her
- 24:02stay there but they would also take trips to Hawthorne Park in
- 24:05Detroit and they would buy drugs on Seven Mile Road by 12 years
- 24:10old Eileen was already a full-blown alcoholic.
- 24:14And she would just like, go out to like parties with older kids
- 24:19and she would wake up with dried semen on her clothes or there
- 24:25were situations where people would just like rape her at the
- 24:30party. Like people were watching.
- 24:33It's terrible. I told before we started today's
- 24:37episode, I told Brian this wasn't going to be a good ride.
- 24:39This is probably one of the worst childhoods of come across.
- 24:45It's terrible at school. I'll I wasn't doing too well,
- 24:50her only real interest was Art and she was considered to be
- 24:52like a really good artist but she had trouble concentrating in
- 24:56school. When she was 14, she set fire to
- 24:59a roll of toilet paper and the girls bathroom.
- 25:02And one of her teachers sent home a letter that was just like
- 25:05it quote, for quote, it is vital for this girls welfare that she
- 25:09seeks counseling immediately. Yes, I mean, yeah, That letter
- 25:14was ignored in 9th grade Eileen was in class and accidentally
- 25:19set off a chemical explosion. With one of her classmates, she
- 25:22suffered more Burns to her face and arms and actually was
- 25:25hospitalized for a few days and not allowed out of bed for
- 25:29months. I'm sure she was miserable being
- 25:33in the house all day with these people.
- 25:35Just stuck there. Yeah.
- 25:38Now 1970 was a particularly poignant year for Eileen.
- 25:41She made friends with this local guy people called chief.
- 25:44He was an older man who was dying from cancer and he used to
- 25:48let Eileen play records at his house and he got his jollies
- 25:54from asking Eileen, the, like, sit on his lap and he would give
- 25:58her money 1970s. Also that year she got pregnant,
- 26:03though nobody knew of the child was lorries or Keith's, or any
- 26:07of the other people who say, She assaulted her at the time.
- 26:10Britta was not having another child pregnancy on her watch.
- 26:14And so she said Eileen to a home for unmarried mothers.
- 26:20Those places you're just kind of supposed to live and wait until
- 26:23you give birth to the baby but Eileen was angry.
- 26:26And when the other pregnant girls tried to talk to her, she
- 26:31was like nasty to them. The honestly, the home couldn't
- 26:36wait until she gave birth on March 24, 1971.
- 26:41Oh, no, as a baby boy. Who was immediately, put up for
- 26:44adoption and was and they never heard from him again.
- 26:47Oh my goodness. Okay, now when Eileen comes
- 26:50back, Lori has some news for her.
- 26:52He's like I want you and Keith out forever and he threatens to
- 26:55kill them. If they don't leave British
- 26:59somehow softens her husband and gets in the middle of this
- 27:04fight. And she's just like, come on.
- 27:06They're only 15 and 17 years old.
- 27:09Give it some time. Coincidentally July 7th 1971.
- 27:15Britta wuornos died. Oh just a couple months later
- 27:20I'm going to say it seems really coincidental that it's a one
- 27:25protecting them four months later after she defied Lori, she
- 27:31dies. Apparently though she did have
- 27:34Have cancer, but it still it's just like maybe he helped it
- 27:40along is all I'm saying, no was liver failure.
- 27:43Sorry. I was thinking it was lung
- 27:44cancer from the smoking, liver failure from the alcohol.
- 27:48Oh, come on. Yeah.
- 27:49Okay. You could have kept feeding her.
- 27:50Yeah, I could see that happening.
- 27:52Yeah. Strangely though, Lori falls
- 27:56apart. He pretty much has a nervous
- 27:58breakdown, he tries to kill himself by flooding the basement
- 28:02with water and then he Stan's in the water with the power on.
- 28:08You could easily done that. I mean, I'm not very much less
- 28:13complicated ways to have yourself.
- 28:16Look, I'm not really give you the recipe or anything like that
- 28:18but you know how to do it, but I'm just saying there are much
- 28:25less complicated. Wait, yes ultimately, he ends up
- 28:29moving the kids to a new home, I guess, you know, to leave behind
- 28:33the memories of his wife and you know but he continued to decline
- 28:37and actually a couple Years later, he did succeed in killing
- 28:40himself by sitting in the garage with the car running and giving
- 28:45himself carbon monoxide. Poisoning Eileen was the one to
- 28:48find him and True to how much she didn't like this, man.
- 28:55She showed up at his funeral. Blu cigarette, smoke in his face
- 28:57and then left nice. Yeah, Eileen's mother Diane
- 29:03believe for many years. That Lori killed Britta, but
- 29:07like I said, the official record says liver failure.
- 29:12Like every one of the causes years.
- 29:16Later, Eileen's, Uncle one of the other children, Barry would
- 29:20testify her trial that he had never seen Lori beat Eileen and
- 29:23that they all had a normal upbringing.
- 29:25She was provided with food and shelter, but that Eileen was
- 29:29very angry. And I was just like one Barry
- 29:34being a good parent is more than just giving your kids food and
- 29:37shelter, and we need to move away from that as a country.
- 29:41Kids need compassion and kindness and they need to be
- 29:45taught, not just, you know, expected to learn everything
- 29:49there, themselves believe kids, learn stuff on around, you get
- 29:52bad results, but we're going to see some of those bad results to
- 29:56how Eileen was treated. I think that more than likely
- 30:01Barry wanted to paint his family.
- 30:05In a better light. She and Barry disputed.
- 30:11This testimony Until the End. Barry did say that Eileen was a
- 30:16good student. Had a wonderful artistic
- 30:17abilities. I'm also going to say that.
- 30:20Barry was an older child and he wasn't exactly there for most of
- 30:23the time that Eileen live with Lori.
- 30:26So how are you commenting on what you weren't there to see?
- 30:33Very true. It could have been a good parent
- 30:36to you. Yes, funny situations where step
- 30:39parents will sexually assault the kid, that's not related to
- 30:42them. So technically, this child was
- 30:46related to him in a two-generation, kind of skip
- 30:49still gross. Absolutely.
- 30:54Now, when Diane learned that her father died, she offered Keith
- 30:57and Eileen a place to stay and taxes, but both of them were
- 31:01like ill, no Eileen. Quit school left, home started,
- 31:07hitchhiking and prostituting, just to get away from Troy.
- 31:10Despite the scars on her face, she was still a very pretty fit
- 31:1415 year old and a certain kind of clientele are always looking
- 31:18for somebody who is exactly that age and to that specification
- 31:23and I'll get into it further. Okay, despite the fact that she
- 31:28had her hustle figured out Eileen was still deeply
- 31:31depressed, and she just kind of bounced from City to City.
- 31:35She pops up on the legal record of 18 years old.
- 31:38She gets arrested in Jefferson, Colorado, May twenty seventh,
- 31:41nineteen seventy-four driving Under the Influence also
- 31:44underage drinking. She also got a charge for
- 31:46disorderly conduct for firing, a 22 caliber pistol out of the car
- 31:51while she was drunk driving. So, she was just joy riding and
- 31:54shooting in the air. She was whooping it up, okay?
- 31:57Eileen ignored, this move to another state.
- 32:00And when her court case came she wasn't there They added on
- 32:05failure to appear to Harry now, very massive list of crimes.
- 32:09And only one day, the police were never able to track her
- 32:13because she gave them her working name at the time, which
- 32:15was Sondra Crush. I'd love it.
- 32:19Okay, now Eileen decides she's gonna hitchhike down to Florida,
- 32:22Florida, seems nice. And once she's down there, she
- 32:25meets 69 year old multi-millionaire Lewis Gratz
- 32:28fell, he picked her up. And honestly, Lewis was
- 32:32immediately enamored with her. And Eileen was like, this is
- 32:37weird but he has a lot of money Lewis.
- 32:42Gratz was the yacht club president of his area which I
- 32:45didn't realize what that means. You have money money.
- 32:48You're the president of the yacht club.
- 32:51I don't even know anything about that because we don't live
- 32:53anywhere near where Yachts can hang out.
- 32:57This is true. This is true.
- 32:58But I figure if you're like, they'll present of a yacht club.
- 33:01Yeah you got to have that money. That's that's money.
- 33:04Money, real money problem here. Was that Eileen was a poor girl
- 33:08with a horrible operating who didn't trust anyone.
- 33:11And she was definitely used to men only hurting her or using
- 33:14her. She didn't see that Lewis was
- 33:17trying to be like a white knight and he thought he found like a
- 33:20pretty girl who was kind of nice and he's like if I just offer
- 33:23her everything, she'll settle down be the Stepford Wife.
- 33:26That I want you know Coast me into my Twilight years.
- 33:31He offers to Mary Eileen and she's like, okay sure.
- 33:35Some reports have said that she loved him but at this point in
- 33:39her life I don't think Eileen was capable of really loving a
- 33:42man or anybody I think she appreciated not being poor.
- 33:52Their wedding was March 1976. She was 20 years old.
- 33:56They took photos that appeared in the local newspaper.
- 33:58This was like High Society news and I'm going to tell you their
- 34:01marriage. Lasted only nine weeks.
- 34:04Oh damn twenty-year-old Eileen was wild angry.
- 34:09She had a horrible temper. Just a few weeks after being
- 34:13murdered, she got arrested and put in jail for assaulting
- 34:16somebody in a bar when she got back out.
- 34:20Husband was like I need you to like stop drinking and doing
- 34:23drugs and she hit him with his own cane to try and force him to
- 34:28give her money. That's that's a good way to get
- 34:33money I guess. Well, so Lewis was done.
- 34:36He filed for an annulment put her out of his house.
- 34:39Eileen was like, yeah, might as well go back to Michigan and she
- 34:42gets arrested in Antrim County for assault and disturbing the
- 34:45peace. Oh my God!
- 34:47Yeah, she was at a bar and through a cue ball at the
- 34:49bartender's had. No, somehow, she avoids jail
- 34:53time there and on July 17th of the same year, she learns that
- 34:57Keith died from esophageal cancer and then a couple days
- 35:00after That her husband gets granted that annulment because
- 35:03of the abuse. I mean, is now husbandless.
- 35:06She does get ten thousand dollars from her brother's life
- 35:09insurance policy which she ran through part of.
- 35:12It was because she had to pay off, court fees and attorneys
- 35:15and things. But the rest she spent on a new
- 35:17car, which she immediately racked one month later in
- 35:20August, while drunk driving, and she crude 105 dollar, fine?
- 35:29For drunk driving. That's it.
- 35:32I mean, it was 1976. Okay.
- 35:35All right. Gotta remember that.
- 35:37And that's today's money today. It's like a four thousand dollar
- 35:41fine and you might lose your license definitely.
- 35:44Now, there was a rumor that Fred was murdered, but that was just
- 35:46the media. He lived a long life until the
- 35:49age of 92 passed on January 6, 2009 funny business, natural
- 35:53causes he never spoke of Eileen ever again.
- 35:57He's like, this is the last time I Help or random pretty girl
- 36:00out. I'll Aunt Eileen me.
- 36:04I just stay off the criminal record for the next two years.
- 36:07This time. She pops up in a newspaper
- 36:09article in 1978, because she tried to kill herself by
- 36:13shooting herself in the stomach Eileen said, in her
- 36:16autobiography, that this was the sixth time.
- 36:19She tried to kill herself since she was 14 years old, she falls
- 36:24off the radar. Again, until May 20th 1981 at 23
- 36:28years old, she's living in Edgewater Florida.
- 36:30Now, she gets arrested for Robbery for stealing $35 and two
- 36:35packs of cigarettes. She was held and then sentenced
- 36:39to prison on. May 4th 1982 released on June
- 36:4330th 1983. The force was not with her that
- 36:49day less than a year. Later, May 1st 1984.
- 36:52She gets arrested in Key West trying to cash forged checks at
- 36:55a bank. November 30th 1985, she's named
- 36:59in the local papers. In Pasco County Florida as a
- 37:01suspect in the theft of a revolver, and also ammunition a
- 37:06couple months after that. January 4th 1986, she gets
- 37:09arrested again. This time at Miami for car
- 37:12theft, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.
- 37:15She was caring and D with her aunts name on it and she was
- 37:18carrying a 38 caliber revolver and a box of ammo in her car.
- 37:22Yeah. She's can't stay awake somehow
- 37:26she skips bail disappears. Again, they find her again in
- 37:31Volusia County, Florida. June 2nd 1986 this time because
- 37:37She was hanging out with a guy and she pulled a gun on him and
- 37:40demanded $200. That's what he said.
- 37:44When they detained her they discovered ammunition in her car
- 37:47and a 22 caliber pistol under the passenger seat that she'd
- 37:49been sitting in. So it's probably true.
- 37:54Yeah. She is trying to rob him.
- 37:58It was actually that that Eileen had her first and probably only
- 38:03relationship she met tyria, more a tag, Bar called zodiac in
- 38:08Daytona. Florida.
- 38:10Tyria was 24 years old from Cadiz.
- 38:12Oh Ohio and a hotel. Maid.
- 38:15Ty as Eileen called her. Had left could is immediately
- 38:20because it was a really small town of only 3,000 people.
- 38:24And you can't really be a lesbian, when the town's a
- 38:27small. She left behind her, father, who
- 38:30was a carpenter and a brick mason and a sister and three
- 38:33brothers. Now, from the moment that tie
- 38:36and Eileen, Matt, it was an instant connection, but it was
- 38:39also toxic and it would stay that way for the next four
- 38:42years. They moved in together fairly
- 38:44quickly for Eileen. She was just desperate for
- 38:47affection. This was anything that she ever
- 38:49wanted, someone who genuinely loved her and so Eileen.
- 38:53Sell no issue with supporting both of them through her work as
- 38:56a prostitute and tied did stay with a lean through a lot of
- 39:01stuff, they could barely afford to survive.
- 39:04Are constantly moving from hotel to hotel sleeping in the woods
- 39:07or on Old Barn so they couldn't afford it.
- 39:10In the meantime, 1986 turns the 1987 Eileen's now 33 years old
- 39:15and she's finding that her ability to make money as a
- 39:18professional. Is kind of changing.
- 39:23She isn't the perky funny twenty-year-old anymore and
- 39:26unfortunately a lot of men who engage with prostitutes like
- 39:29women a lot younger than they are, The frequent loud
- 39:33outbursts, never stopped, but I loved her anyway, Eileen called
- 39:40tie, her wife and 97th, I managed to scrounge up enough
- 39:44money to buy an old trailer and they live in this crappy trailer
- 39:48park. And all I could say, is they
- 39:50kept the other residents entertained.
- 39:54There are always a string of scraggly looking men showing up
- 39:59and coming in and out of the trailer.
- 40:03The land they were on was full of just stuff and then sometimes
- 40:09the women would be seen outside in just their underwear.
- 40:14And so people thought they were pretty wild but finally, one
- 40:17night neighbor said, there was like loud music and they heard
- 40:21gunshots. And the next day they were like
- 40:24can you leave Can you just move away, please?
- 40:33We don't want you here anymore. You guys are just rowdy rowdy
- 40:36for us, our sex life. It's complicated Ty, would say
- 40:39later on court that they were more like sisters and lovers.
- 40:43The main struggle, was that tie felt that Eileen liked her work
- 40:45a bit too much. And Eileen would later say that
- 40:48her love for Ty, was greater than it was a greater love and
- 40:52was not entirely sexual. For Eileen.
- 40:55She was getting the love and connection.
- 40:56She'd never gotten from her parents or anybody else in her
- 40:59life. Now July 4th, 1987, both Thai
- 41:02and Eileen get to teen for questioning after someone at a
- 41:05bar is hit with a beer bottle. I wonder, who did that?
- 41:10On March 12, 1988 Eileen calls, the cops on a bus driver for
- 41:13throwing her off a bus. She said that he assaulted her
- 41:17and tie the bus driver was like, Thai and Eileen were arguing and
- 41:20it was really bad and he told him to get off the bus to
- 41:23protect the safety of the passengers and they didn't.
- 41:29Despite the constant out person fighting, there was real love
- 41:32there at her trial. Eileen said, it was love Beyond
- 41:35imaginable. Earthly words cannot describe
- 41:38how I felt about Terry at Now, there's massive speculation
- 41:43about how much time you about these murders and that lies in
- 41:47the fact that she was still dating.
- 41:49She was dating tie the entire time Eileen was killing people.
- 41:54The first murder and she didn't leave until Thanksgiving of
- 41:591990, which was right after she killed the last man.
- 42:05I mean, like an that's that goes for like a lot of women in like,
- 42:11the men that are serial killers, you know?
- 42:13I mean like the women don't know that their husbands are.
- 42:16He's fucking murderers and shit. Like how would she know just
- 42:20because they're dating. Oh wow, yes and my Like, We Tell
- 42:24Em, we tell each other, everything going to give you
- 42:26some information, maybe you'll change your mind on that a
- 42:29little later. Ultimately, the two would
- 42:32exchange phone calls that would lead to Eileen's arrest and they
- 42:36wouldn't see each other after that, until the courtroom went,
- 42:41I testified against Eileen but we will discuss that part of the
- 42:44story. Later, we're going to talk about
- 42:46the murders that happened between December 1989 and
- 42:49September 1990. Not only maintains that she
- 42:53always killed these men out of self-defense in her own words.
- 42:56Hookers are like cab drivers, you get good fairs and bad
- 42:59fairs. That judge said I killed him for
- 43:02money. I've been with hundreds of men
- 43:04who had money. I only killed seven.
- 43:06So what does that tell you? Seven of them have.
- 43:11He says that seven of them got rocks with her and that's why
- 43:14she killed them. But Eileen that, Richard
- 43:17Richard, Mallory, when she was hitchhiking on December 1st,
- 43:201989 is about 3. A.m. they pulled off to the side
- 43:23of the road way from Daytona to get busy as Eileen.
- 43:26Tells it, they smoked drank, she got naked.
- 43:29She said that Richard did not, she said that he couldn't get
- 43:33hard so he got angry and hit her.
- 43:35She said she tried to give him a blow job too.
- 43:37To help him along but that didn't help.
- 43:41She said that he held her down and slapped her and she grabbed
- 43:44her gun and shot him. That story changed later to say
- 43:48that he had tied her up and raped her with a blunt object.
- 43:52That's the version of the story that they use in the film
- 43:55monster. But regardless, I lean believe
- 43:58that this man was a threat and she killed him.
- 44:01So, the thing here, is that Eileen's testimony.
- 44:05Like, she would go on to say that the police knew that
- 44:09Richard. Mallory was a predator.
- 44:12And he was the 51 year old owner of Clearwater Electronics,
- 44:17apparently was known to close his shop and just disappear on
- 44:23sex and alcohol fueled vendors. He only hired enough staff to
- 44:26clear up the backlog of orders from when he left and then he
- 44:29fired them all the police, caught him multiple times with
- 44:32drugs and prostitutes. And in Eileen's case, the jury
- 44:36wasn't allowed to know that he had done 10 years.
- 44:39In the Maryland, State Mental Institution for an attempt to
- 44:42Rape, he's divorced five times. Have recently ended things with
- 44:46his girlfriend. Jackie Davis before he met
- 44:48Eileen, he was also on the edge of bankruptcy because he was
- 44:51spending so much money on this CD side of his life.
- 44:57For me, I always saw this moment as like to very angry alcoholic
- 45:02people met each other in a moment where they were both
- 45:06struggling financially and using sex as an outlet.
- 45:13Yeah. And then once yeah then once one
- 45:16couldn't we do that. We don't know if that was true
- 45:19or not but like they were both like right.
- 45:22You try to terrible people and so we don't know who threw the
- 45:26first Punch or who started it first but we know how it ended.
- 45:33On Monday, December 3rd, 1989, Richard didn't show up for work.
- 45:36His staff and clients are pretty used to this, so nobody called
- 45:38it in. He didn't have any close friends
- 45:40or family to worry about him. In fact, it wasn't till the cops
- 45:43found his Cadillac abandoned near Ormond Beach that they got
- 45:47suspicious. The police wouldn't have looked
- 45:51into it further, if they hadn't noticed there was some blood
- 45:54behind the steering wheel that hadn't been cleaned off.
- 45:56They found his wallet, a short distance from the car, random
- 46:00papers expired, credit cards and ID.
- 46:02They found some plastic glasses, a half-filled bottle of Smirnoff
- 46:06vodka and empty. Budweiser, the police definitely
- 46:10believe that Mallory hadn't been alone and someone was driving
- 46:14his car, who was pretty short, because the seat had been pulled
- 46:17up all the way they, they, Is it for prints?
- 46:20They towed it to where it was analyzed. and, That was really
- 46:26it with the car until December 13th.
- 46:29When Jimmy Bochy and James Davis were out looking for scrap near
- 46:33Interstate 95 and they found Richard It's about five miles
- 46:39away from where his car was dumped.
- 46:41His body was under a cardboard box and only his fingers were
- 46:44peeking out. His Dentures were laying next to
- 46:48the body. They ended up taking his hands
- 46:52to the crime lab to get prints because when there's massive
- 46:55decomposition, they do have to do extra things to get a
- 46:58workable print. It was assumed decomposed too
- 47:01much for a proper autopsy, so they took him to a funeral home
- 47:04and dr. Arthur botting came by and a
- 47:07certified, his death The police really focused on Richards
- 47:11outrageous lifestyle, and they ran down as many leads as they
- 47:14could. Does he owe people money?
- 47:17Is he a bet? Was there a bad drug deal?
- 47:19Nothing really came from it. He had recently seen a stripper
- 47:22who went by the name of Chastity and Chastity.
- 47:24Had told all the clubs at her. All the girls at her club that
- 47:28Richard was a pervert and to not like deal with him.
- 47:31So they wondered like maybe he attacked her and she fought
- 47:34back, but she had an alibi. The case went cold.
- 47:38By May of 1998, was already forgotten his sister in Texas
- 47:43and brother and New Jersey assumed.
- 47:45It was just Richard being Richard and they didn't really
- 47:47want to deal with him or his death.
- 47:50His electronics shop was taken over by a man named mr.
- 47:53Townley. And the name was changed to
- 47:55Johnny's TV and VCR of Palm Harbor, Yeah, Richard's.
- 48:05Yeah, he actually had him cremated and she sprinkled his
- 48:10ashes, tiwa tell the police that Eileen came home with a Cadillac
- 48:16that she knew was stolen. But she didn't know, the man was
- 48:19dead. But then later Eileen told her
- 48:21the man was dead. They used the car to move their
- 48:24stuff to a new apartment and then Island got rid of that.
- 48:27Like both Eileen and tie mentioned in their testimony.
- 48:36That like Eileen was just like I killed a man and I was just
- 48:40like, don't talk about that. Don't say things like that.
- 48:50No no I don't know if I believed her but I told her to shut up
- 48:54like listen. Ty was given homegirl.
- 48:58Good advice, plausible, deniability, look, shut up,
- 49:03don't tell me about that. Yeah.
- 49:04Okay, the thing you always say, don't tell me about what I said,
- 49:07and it's for this reason that I would stick by her story, but
- 49:13Eileen gave her a jacket that had the name, Richard in it and
- 49:17a scarf to belong to him. Then she pawned as much of his
- 49:20crap as she could. Don't be giving me the gift from
- 49:27your killed, your souvenirs. They made enough money off of
- 49:30Richard, though, the last a couple months and then there was
- 49:32David Spears. Now Spears was not like Richard,
- 49:36he was considered to be a nice normal hard-working guy, he was
- 49:3943 years old and recently divorced he lived a Winter
- 49:42Garden near Orlando and worked in construction.
- 49:44He's a big guy like 64 but described as a gentle giant like
- 49:49I said he was divorced but he was so nice to his ex-wife like
- 49:53he just gave her money. It was Mandated by the court,
- 49:56he, the wife was taken care of their 17 year old daughter, and
- 50:00he was just like, I just want her to be happy you to be happy.
- 50:03Like good guy. In fact, just before he met
- 50:07Island, he spoke to his ex-wife D.
- 50:09On May 18th 1990. And told her that they were
- 50:11going to meet the following day between 2:00 and 2:30.
- 50:17May 19, well, maybe I don't know and so he ended up running a
- 50:22little late and he was heading down I-75 to Tampa and we just
- 50:25know that somewhere between US 27 and I for about 26 miles from
- 50:30home, that's where he picked up, Eileen Eileen would later, tell
- 50:35the police that they pulled off the road, you know she will Oh
- 50:47gosh, it was an eerie hum Homosassa Springs, so many s's
- 50:53in this name and she said that it was so far into the woods
- 50:57that David was tried. The truck will get stuck.
- 51:00They did find his truck abandoned 10 miles, west of
- 51:02Orange Springs and Marion County on Sunday.
- 51:05They found blonde hair on the steering wheel and a rib Trojan
- 51:08condom wrapper on the floor. Everything that he had in his
- 51:13car, was missing his work tools, close ceramics, That you have a
- 51:17panther that he was going to be giving 2D and just like with
- 51:21Richard, the driver's seat was pulled up way, too close to the
- 51:23steering wheel which let the police know.
- 51:25The last person who drove the car wasn't.
- 51:26Its owner, his remains were found on June 1st.
- 51:30A man by the name of Matthew cocking was out walking in the
- 51:33woods and found David's remains. It was pretty badly, decomposed
- 51:38nude except for a baby like a camouflage.
- 51:40Baseball cap and the used Trojan was on the ground near his body
- 51:46alone. Loan with an empty cans of bush.
- 51:49And Budweiser, it's not so much that the remains were sitting
- 51:54there for so long. I mean they were there for a
- 51:56while but also it's hot and like sticky down in Florida.
- 51:59So it only makes it worse. The Remains were so badly
- 52:04decomposed. It took them time to figure out
- 52:07the age sex and cause of death. Yeah, his autopsy was get on
- 52:13June 4th. How to explain this.
- 52:17He was a big guy like 200 pounds and there was very little flesh
- 52:22left in the remains. The doctor got like 40 pounds of
- 52:26bone and a very little skin. Her name is dr.
- 52:32Janet pillow and she was able to find 6 22, caliber pistols and
- 52:37Strikes. 22 caliber pistol bullets and she was able to get
- 52:41a good cast of his teeth with his dental records.
- 52:44They were able to talk to his friends and family.
- 52:48They learned from deed, his ex-wife that they were meeting
- 52:51because his daughter was graduating from high school and
- 52:53he was giving her money for graduation.
- 52:56D, was able to tell the police that he told her that he was
- 52:59giving her. Couple hundred dollars to help
- 53:01with the supplies and that he also kept about $600 in his
- 53:06truck for emergencies with all the tools and things that were
- 53:09Pond Eileen took in well over a thousand dollars killing David
- 53:14Spears. but then just before they had a chance to really dig
- 53:19into David's case they find another body five days later,
- 53:24This is Charles Chuck car Skadden.
- 53:28It's mid-may. He's 41 years old and Chuck was
- 53:32on the way from his mother's house, okay?
- 53:38In Bonn and Boonville Missouri, there's a bond, Bill Missouri,
- 53:41forgot to look that one up, always look up the names.
- 53:44Regardless, he's Comin From Missouri and he was going to
- 53:47Tampa to pick up his fiancee Peggy.
- 53:50He was a former Road Digger and rodeo rider.
- 53:52And at the time of his death, a printing, press operator, back
- 53:56in Missouri and he was hoping to start a life with a little less
- 53:59hard labor and a new bride Anderson.
- 54:03Get enough Eileen. Forfor to Chuck both in her book
- 54:06and to the police as The drug dealer, but there's no record
- 54:11that he was a drug dealer. Eileen.
- 54:15Yeah, Eileen. So that they stop for sex and he
- 54:17only had $20 and he wasn't going to give her any more money.
- 54:21She said that when they were both in the back seat he called
- 54:23her a fucking bitch and she shot him seven times.
- 54:28Then she reloaded got out of the car and shot him toes to two
- 54:31more times. She said that he had a 45 and
- 54:35she thought that he was going to hurt her so she killed him
- 54:38first. Now you can tell he was a drug
- 54:42dealer because the only had $20. All right, he had enough money
- 54:47for gas to get to Peggy. And that was it there's a who's
- 54:53over the course of Eileen's court case, she would change
- 54:56these stories multiple times. First thing was self-defense, it
- 54:59was about money than it was back to self-defense like Ultimately
- 55:04they find Chuck's body on Wednesday, June 6, covered in
- 55:06leaves and tree branches and a green.
- 55:08Electric blanket has autopsy showed he'd been shot, nine
- 55:11times, the 22 caliber pistol, his 1975 brown, Cadillac was
- 55:15found 45 miles. North of where the body was
- 55:19dumped. The following day, the plates
- 55:22had been trashed but they were able to trace the owner to the
- 55:26VIN. Number Chuck's mom told the
- 55:29police that he did carry a 45 caliber pistol with Pearl
- 55:33handle. He also had in his car with him,
- 55:36a Mexican blanket, a stun gun, a flip-top lighter, a watch, and a
- 55:39tan suitcase, and that he was also wearing his gray snakeskin
- 55:43boots. When he left her house, she also
- 55:45told the police that he had removed, the firing pin from the
- 55:48gun because his only intention was to use it to scare people.
- 55:55None of those things were found in his car, The Spoils of
- 55:59murder. Of course, of course.
- 56:02Now Eileen's, on a roll, now, her next victim is Peter symes a
- 56:05devout Christian, Peter was the 65 years old.
- 56:09And if he retired from a life of being a merchant Seaman, he was
- 56:13living in Jupiter, Florida in Martin County and the same day
- 56:16that Chuck's car. Captain's car was found, Peter
- 56:18was seen filling his car with Bibles and Luggage.
- 56:21He was taking his 1988, silver Pontiac Sundberg out to be a
- 56:26witness to the heathens. His intention was to drive to
- 56:30see his relatives in Arkansas, and New Jersey and in the
- 56:34middle, if he met a couple of Sinners and could convert them
- 56:36and he considered that to be a good trip.
- 56:39He promised his wife, he call her once he stopped for the
- 56:41night and he never made it to the first motel.
- 56:47Oh, wow. His wife.
- 56:49Laura the police the following morning.
- 56:52Eileen would later. Tell the police that he'd become
- 56:55threatening during sex. So she shot him.
- 56:59Peter is the only body that was never found.
- 57:04But she said they met somewhere in Georgia.
- 57:09His car was found because someone else was driving it.
- 57:15Imagine that was a seat. Pull all the way up as well.
- 57:18So I'm gonna give you this. So it's aren't Springs Florida,
- 57:22nice area. There's this couple Rhonda and
- 57:25Jim Bailey sitting outside sipping, some lemonade, its
- 57:28Fourth of July, there's car enters.
- 57:30The block, takes a hard turn skid sideways, smashes through a
- 57:34steel gate and a barbed wire fence.
- 57:36The windshield shattered comes to a stop so quickly that it
- 57:40almost rolls over. The couple sees two, women get
- 57:45out of the car and they were able to tell the police that the
- 57:47blonde woman was bleeding. Come on.
- 57:51They also tell her the blonde woman throws the her beer cans
- 57:55into the woods while yelling at the second woman in the car.
- 57:58Then they grabbed a cooler from the backseat and ran into the
- 58:00woods, a neighbor like ran out and offered to help them.
- 58:04But Eileen like was like, no, please don't.
- 58:07Don't call the police. My father lives down the road,
- 58:09it's his car. They drove off very quickly, but
- 58:16ultimately, they only drove to get rid of the car that had two
- 58:19tires that were flat. And the radiator was smoking.
- 58:23They took off the plates through them in the woods along with the
- 58:25keys. The neighbors did not listen to
- 58:28you Eileen and absolute forcing on us and called the police.
- 58:33Because this lady is bleeding. Now, the police are driving down
- 58:36the road and they don't see the cards, just her aunt.
- 58:39I walk in the police are like, you sound like the woman who got
- 58:43in a car accident. Yeah, and she's like, okay,
- 58:47leave me alone. I just want to go home as the
- 58:50police were all right. Whatever they decide, they're
- 58:55going to keep looking for the car because It was a crash car.
- 59:00Where did it go? So write it destroyed property
- 59:04to write definitely somebody's property when she smashed
- 59:07through their fence. Yeah, it sounds like a business
- 59:11though. Generally businesses have like
- 59:12the barbed wire and the steel Gates regardless though later
- 59:16that night, the police police officer finds the car.
- 59:19It's found in like the underbrush under like leaves and
- 59:22thinks there's blood all over this car, including bloody
- 59:26fingerprints. It's very quickly connected.
- 59:29Connected to Peter, symes missing, and just like all the
- 59:32other cars, all Peter stuff gone, just trash and beer cans
- 59:36left in. They were able to find a
- 59:38leftover receipt from a local gas station and That showed the
- 59:49two of those women in that car, at that gas station.
- 59:55So the police put out a bolo to find two women seen in this
- 59:58missing man's car. They also send out a description
- 1:00:00of them along with their sketches because they've now
- 1:00:03made all manner of witnesses. You're right.
- 1:00:08Yes, afford, a criminal activity, bulletin and an
- 1:00:10officer, John was Wisniewski. Who'd been working the case
- 1:00:15since the beginning? Honestly, he wasn't really.
- 1:00:18For usually, when people kill people like this, like they
- 1:00:24would steal the Identity or use the credit cards or break into
- 1:00:27the person's bank account, but these women had done any of them
- 1:00:31and he had no idea why, like, they left his personal effects,
- 1:00:35and I'm guessing only took the cash.
- 1:00:38Now, despite having a absolute boat load of bloody
- 1:00:41fingerprints, and remember, Eileen has been arrested in
- 1:00:44like, six different towns in Florida.
- 1:00:48They do not check these fingerprints for anything.
- 1:00:54Why not? Because that always happens at
- 1:00:58all these pieces. Brian.
- 1:01:01Oh my god, of course she kills. Again, Eugene Troy Perez. 50
- 1:01:07years old on the day, he met Eileen, he lived in Ocala, just
- 1:01:1015 minutes from Orange Springs with his wife Rose, a call is a
- 1:01:13resort town, in a really nice spot for retirees.
- 1:01:16Troy still worked a little bit as the sausage salesman for the
- 1:01:19Gilchrist Sausage Company, but he had retired.
- 1:01:22From his former job, which is a lot more demanding than selling
- 1:01:25sausages. He had run Troy's pools in Boca,
- 1:01:28Raton until 1980 time, 89 when it went under.
- 1:01:31And he decided that he was done with the pool cleaning business,
- 1:01:34it's too hard. Couldn't keep up with the demand
- 1:01:37so on July 30th 1990, Joy's just heading out for a normal day at
- 1:01:41work. He's going to hit a couple of
- 1:01:42stops, saw some sausages to some clients they already have and
- 1:01:46then head home. His it was his Daytona route.
- 1:01:49That he was going to head back through Salt Springs.
- 1:01:51Stop by the Ation and come end going back to Orange brings when
- 1:01:58he didn't come back from work, his manager Johnny Mae Thompson,
- 1:02:01started making calls, she called the customers, he was supposed
- 1:02:04to visit and discovered that he had never made it to the last
- 1:02:06delivery and I mrs. Thompson knew something was
- 1:02:09wrong because she's like, he's either hurt or sick or something
- 1:02:11because he would have called it the car broke down.
- 1:02:14So she decided to drive the route because she knew the way
- 1:02:17that he was going and see if she could find him when that didn't
- 1:02:21work, she called Troy's wife, Troy's wife called around and
- 1:02:25they reported him missing at 2 a.m. at 4 a.m.
- 1:02:28Marion County. PD found his delivery van on the
- 1:02:31shoulder of Sr 19. It's about 20 miles away from
- 1:02:34home. He was only a few miles from his
- 1:02:37next delivery but Troy's bodies nowhere to be found.
- 1:02:43Less. Okay, yeah.
- 1:02:44Less than a week later, a family out for a picnic stumbles across
- 1:02:48his body and the alcohol, a national forest.
- 1:02:50It was eight miles away from the delivery van.
- 1:02:54Augustine. Florida is a bad time to be in
- 1:02:57Florida. So even though this was only a
- 1:03:01week and change from when he went missing, it was he looked
- 1:03:05real bad his wife Community? Yeah, his wife confirmed his
- 1:03:10identity based on his wedding ring which he was still wearing.
- 1:03:14He had he been killed with two shots, from a 22 caliber
- 1:03:16revolver one to the chest, and another to the back, all of the
- 1:03:20money that Troy had made that day have been stolen.
- 1:03:24Now, Eileen told the police that he took her into the woods
- 1:03:27ordered, her to strip, and then wave ten dollars in her face and
- 1:03:31told her that's all you're worth.
- 1:03:33She also claimed he sexually assaulted her and that's why she
- 1:03:36shot him in the chest, and when he tried to run away, she shot
- 1:03:38him in the back. So this man was at work, right?
- 1:03:44He was driving for work and his uniform in his sausage truck
- 1:03:50with the name of the business on the side.
- 1:03:52So, She wants folks to believe that he stopped for a little
- 1:03:59strange, right? Like, and I don't believe it.
- 1:04:03That's hard to believe, I don't believe that one.
- 1:04:05Either like it is that when I don't believe, I like I said, I
- 1:04:09think at this point now, like I think Eileen's brain shifted
- 1:04:12from like one of the things that I've talked about when I talk
- 1:04:15about this case is that we have somebody who Associates men with
- 1:04:20pain and trauma. But she also It's men with money
- 1:04:26and what she needs to survive that Duality has to be
- 1:04:30constantly fighting itself. Those 22.
- 1:04:36You know, Trails of thought, right?
- 1:04:39And so I think that Honestly, I think by this point she's gone,
- 1:04:45she snapped. I don't doubt that in her head,
- 1:04:50she's perceiving minor things as threats at this.
- 1:04:54But ultimately, like she still knows that.
- 1:04:56If somebody threatens, you don't shoot them.
- 1:04:58Like no. Because there's thing when
- 1:05:01you've been sexually assaulted or traumatized in a certain way,
- 1:05:04there are multiple ways that you handle it.
- 1:05:05And a lot of the ways that people deal with it is called
- 1:05:07hyper-vigilance. I experienced this.
- 1:05:10When I leave the house, I am always on a constant watch.
- 1:05:13Who's that person across the street?
- 1:05:14Is there? Somebody walking behind me?
- 1:05:16What are my surroundings? Even if I have my headphones on
- 1:05:18their never, too loud. So I can always hear of somebody
- 1:05:21cat calls or something because of things that happened when I
- 1:05:24was younger Like a teen and people like kind of riding up on
- 1:05:27me and scaring the shit out of me so I don't doubt that she
- 1:05:31wasn't hyper-vigilant. I think that at this point it's
- 1:05:37completely like the the it's a hairpin trigger, okay, okay.
- 1:05:43If she perceives any of these people to be remotely
- 1:05:47threatening, bang, bang it. If you don't do exactly what she
- 1:05:51says, which is give her money, she does the sex she leaves.
- 1:05:56She's like, he's gonna hurt me. He's dangerous.
- 1:05:59And I think that she believed that, but she still knew it was
- 1:06:04wrong because we all know that shooting people is wrong,
- 1:06:07regardless of our mental health, know that murder is Good.
- 1:06:11Yeah, unless you're like an infant or somebody like is where
- 1:06:15you're under, right? So even if you know that, like
- 1:06:18you're super tensing, you're worried about people, assaulting
- 1:06:21you, you also know that like the, the correct response, if
- 1:06:25someone is threatening you is not to kill them first.
- 1:06:30Now, I think some of this was entirely in her head but um,
- 1:06:34we'll talk about that a little more later.
- 1:06:35Now, here's a funny thing that happens during the same time,
- 1:06:38another guy disappears. He absolutely fits the bill, his
- 1:06:43name is Corky read and when Eileen was questioned by, police
- 1:06:46about him. She said, and I quote Corky
- 1:06:49read, what the fuck? Are you talking about?
- 1:06:52The police, of course, didn't believe her and had they done
- 1:06:54their job. When he first disappeared they
- 1:06:56would have known. Where Corky actually was, like I
- 1:07:00said to be fair, he fit the profile.
- 1:07:01He was 51. He had been injured in a work
- 1:07:03accident. So he was on the frail side.
- 1:07:05He lived alone didn't have lots of family outside of his sister
- 1:07:08and her husband, dini, and Jim Stewart.
- 1:07:10He went missing on his payday after he cashed his check on
- 1:07:14September 6 1990. He told his sister, he was going
- 1:07:17to go spend the weekend with his friend, Ray Cocoa Beach then had
- 1:07:21to Orlando, because he had a doctor's appointment, and then
- 1:07:23finally stopped at his mom's house on Sunday.
- 1:07:26He never showed up at his mom's house.
- 1:07:27And so, Mom called the daughter and was just like, what's up
- 1:07:34Monday? September 6.
- 1:07:35He didn't show up for work and so the sister dini drove to his
- 1:07:39house and saw the, his clothes were there and his work badge,
- 1:07:42but not his car. So they called the Titusville
- 1:07:44police and the police were like, you got to wait 72 hours for an
- 1:07:48adult missing persons case his sister was like no thank you.
- 1:07:52And she printed 2000 flyers and handed them out Lucia and
- 1:07:58Brevard County. She also 500 people to Canvas
- 1:08:01the city's goodness. So then the police find his car,
- 1:08:05on Tuesday, September 11th, and a parking lot near I-95.
- 1:08:10They didn't actually like, show up to test the car or anything,
- 1:08:15like literally the police saw it because the security guard
- 1:08:18called him was like, Hey, this cars been here for like a week
- 1:08:21and so the police were like oh that's the missing guys car.
- 1:08:25So they called the sister we're like hey your brother's car is
- 1:08:27in this parking lot. You should move it before.
- 1:08:29Or they tow it. They did not print the car.
- 1:08:33They did not, they did nothing literally dini, drove it home
- 1:08:38but the cars weight know what he's missing.
- 1:08:42He printed car print icon, as I said they did not do their job
- 1:08:47at all. In regards to this case, there
- 1:08:50was an open Trojan condom pack and empty pack of Marlboros and
- 1:08:53Camel, cigarettes, and well, the interesting thing for dini, was
- 1:08:57that the car had been run down, Like somebody was riding it.
- 1:09:01Like they were stolen it had no, like no gas in it, and no oil.
- 1:09:06And so that was weird because her brother was a car guy and so
- 1:09:10they were like, he normally takes care of his car.
- 1:09:12Why would he leave it? There crapped out his tool box
- 1:09:16was missing, the seat had been pulled forward and the defining
- 1:09:19marks. On the car had been scratched
- 1:09:21off this time. Actually.
- 1:09:23I've been number nothing like that.
- 1:09:25Sure seemed like Eileen's. Do it his sister dini.
- 1:09:29Actually. Never stop searching for him.
- 1:09:31And even after being arrested, and they showed his photo to
- 1:09:35both Eileen and tie both women were like, we don't know who he
- 1:09:38is, and here's the thing. Eileen Eileen space was national
- 1:09:47news. There is no way.
- 1:09:50Corky did not see that he was his picture of him was listed as
- 1:09:54one of the victims for the most prolific, female serial killer
- 1:10:00in modern time in America. He ignored it because they found
- 1:10:04him. August 6 1992.
- 1:10:08In a traffic court in Las Vegas, Nevada.
- 1:10:10What He ran away from home. Wait, how we he's held
- 1:10:1850-something. Yes yeah.
- 1:10:20Will you be here? And he just ran away from his
- 1:10:24life in Florida. Honestly, it was a fluke.
- 1:10:26They even found him. He had gotten a ticket in July
- 1:10:29for having him valid driver's license.
- 1:10:31And when they ran his name, through the National Crime
- 1:10:33information database, his name returned under missing, and, or
- 1:10:38endangered. So the police reached out and
- 1:10:41we're just like Like you're on a missing-persons list as someone
- 1:10:44who might be in danger and quirky was like I'll want to be,
- 1:10:48don't tell my family where I am, I don't like y'all.
- 1:10:51It's like he's his family had no idea why he left he never
- 1:10:55communicated that he was, okay? Like I said he was being listed
- 1:10:59publicly as one of Eileen words his victims so he's like oh good
- 1:11:03they'll think I'm dead now. So I don't have probably all
- 1:11:08police were able to pull from them is that there had been some
- 1:11:10kind of a bad business Deal with his brother-in-law and he felt
- 1:11:14like he'd been done dirty. What's extra wide about this?
- 1:11:18Is that Corky was a Ruth engine, like a roofing engineer, and he
- 1:11:22worked for the Kennedy Space Center when they found him, he
- 1:11:25was working in a casino. I have.
- 1:11:27No, I just have, no, I can't fathom being so mad at my
- 1:11:31family. I leave a really good high
- 1:11:34paying job to hide from them. No, it's you go work at it.
- 1:11:39I mean, no knocking. A little bit more perplexing, a
- 1:11:45mystery was that Eileen did find his car?
- 1:11:49She found it, where he abandoned it and she did steal everything
- 1:11:53from it and ride it. Like it was stolen, oh my God,
- 1:11:56dumped it when she was done with it.
- 1:11:58Okay. So she so it's okay.
- 1:12:02So part of it is. Okay.
- 1:12:03She did like still the car. Yes.
- 1:12:05But she had no idea who did it belong to.
- 1:12:13They, they know this because Ty had quirky suitcase and some of
- 1:12:17his clothes, okay, tie. Well, I was trying to give you
- 1:12:20the benefit of the doubt, like, if you like honestly what the
- 1:12:25but when the, when used mention that to women fresher car, it's
- 1:12:30like a gated thing and then I was like, God, dammit, I know,
- 1:12:35right. And it's wild that she gets away
- 1:12:37with the scot-free, but we're gonna get there.
- 1:12:38We're gonna get there. So, either way, after she was
- 1:12:42doing Joyce, Fighting and stealing it, she meets a new
- 1:12:46real Mark. 56 year-old Charles Humphrey on September 11th.
- 1:12:491990. Charles was from Crystal.
- 1:12:52River was a town about seven miles north of Um, assassin
- 1:12:57along u.s. 90 no know why. I can't say the name of the
- 1:12:59city. Um the sethe some of the best
- 1:13:06fun names. Some of them are like Crystal
- 1:13:08Lake Clearwater, Cocoa Beach, and it's of them sound real
- 1:13:13country like hummus. Ask love it.
- 1:13:17Either way, Charles went to work that day at his job and some
- 1:13:20turville he works for the Florida Department of Health and
- 1:13:22Rehabilitation. He was also a former police
- 1:13:25chief And Sumter was in the right in the middle of Eileen's
- 1:13:29Kill Zone. She picked a bad person for this
- 1:13:33because virtually up until this point, they didn't really care
- 1:13:36that much until she killed one of their own.
- 1:13:41Not only was the child works for the Department of Health and
- 1:13:44Rehab. He was a special investigator
- 1:13:46who looked into abused and Andrew children.
- 1:13:49He had three kids himself and he was very good at talking to
- 1:13:51abuse kids. He was also meticulously on
- 1:13:58time. So when Charles didn't return
- 1:14:01home at 550, PM. She was like maybe his car
- 1:14:07trouble at 6:30. She was like, maybe stop for a
- 1:14:11beer. Between seven and eight was when
- 1:14:16she panicked. And finally, she called the
- 1:14:18police and Highway Patrol did a cursory search even though they
- 1:14:21could not file a missing persons report yet.
- 1:14:24He his remains were found the following day.
- 1:14:29Very close to where David Spears and Charles casket, ins car were
- 1:14:33found. He had been shot seven times.
- 1:14:35They recovered Six Bullets from his mermaids and his wallet and
- 1:14:38money were missing his blue Forenza was found on the 13th.
- 1:14:48At an abandoned gas station in the city of Live Oak near Swaney
- 1:14:52County for people who don't know.
- 1:14:55This is like 70 miles north of where his body was dumped.
- 1:15:00And it's so far north that we are like a couple of miles away
- 1:15:03from Georgia. Oh wow.
- 1:15:07Like she drove as far as she could to get her.
- 1:15:09I don't even know if she thought.
- 1:15:09She maybe she was in Georgia to keep it in a separate State.
- 1:15:12Who knows the plates keys, and the highway patrol bumper
- 1:15:16sticker. Were removed.
- 1:15:18Anything that could connect the Carter, Charles was gone.
- 1:15:21There was a can of Budweiser left under the passenger seat
- 1:15:24and had the police dusted for prints.
- 1:15:27They might have known that Eileen was his passenger.
- 1:15:33Now, the police did find a receipt for beer and Wyatt a
- 1:15:35Speedway truck. Stop and wildwood the same store
- 1:15:38where Peter symes receipt was from this one had a timestamp of
- 1:15:424:19 p.m. on September 11th. The cashier didn't remember, For
- 1:15:46Charles because he stayed in the car but she remembered Eileen
- 1:15:50and tie. The cashier thought that they
- 1:15:53were prostitutes and in Florida prostitutes are banned from
- 1:15:55truck stops but so you're actually supposed to call the
- 1:16:00police. If you see people work in the
- 1:16:02truck stop but the cashier was just like they were in and out.
- 1:16:05They actually were only here for food and drinks so I didn't call
- 1:16:09them. Hey, Eileen slaughtered Charles
- 1:16:16and so she could not sell most of his items because they were
- 1:16:19covered in blood, of course. So she threw them into a field
- 1:16:24in boggy Marsh Road and those items were his pipe, his pens
- 1:16:28and pencils his wedding ring. His watch Eileen would later
- 1:16:32tell the police that she shot him.
- 1:16:34The first few times in his body and one went through his wrist,
- 1:16:37she heard him gurgling felt bad for him, so she's Shot him in
- 1:16:41the head to put him out of his misery.
- 1:16:45Ty's sign affidavits said that Eileen came back to the house to
- 1:16:50the hotel. With a small four door, blue car
- 1:16:53and late August September, and she wasn't there.
- 1:16:56But you know, the cashier saw them both with Charles the
- 1:17:00right. So she wasn't there, though,
- 1:17:04there were other inconsistencies and ties story.
- 1:17:07She told the police, she never drank, but at different
- 1:17:10locations where I lean in Thai stayed, lots of people testified
- 1:17:13that the both of them were below. you're at drunks and they
- 1:17:16were thrown out of plenty of motels for making too much
- 1:17:18noise, drinking loud music, In fact, one of the landlord's
- 1:17:24realized that Eileen was hooking when she asked in the driver to
- 1:17:27I-95 and then said she'd walk the rest of the way to her job.
- 1:17:32He was not fond of what Eileen's real job was but she was paying
- 1:17:37her rent. So he let it go when she got
- 1:17:41behind on rent one time. He reminded her and she said you
- 1:17:45are lucky. You are, you still have a life?
- 1:17:53They were not too happy about that threat.
- 1:17:57No, I wouldn't be eventually that couple saw her face in the
- 1:18:00papers, and they absolutely called the police, but that
- 1:18:02wasn't until November now. It's late night, September 1990.
- 1:18:06There are like counties are kind of work in the cases.
- 1:18:09They're definitely focusing on Charles Humphries Marion and
- 1:18:13Citrus County, got together. And they compare notes about the
- 1:18:16barrestin spears murder. So they connected with Detective
- 1:18:19tan, much and Pasco County. Because he was the one who had
- 1:18:23put out the bulletin looking for the two women, driving Peter
- 1:18:25symes car. The group were very solid.
- 1:18:29They're like, these are all identical.
- 1:18:31And so, are all the victims that we found in every victim?
- 1:18:35This definitely seems like a serial killer.
- 1:18:38The police pulled in as many witnesses as they could and
- 1:18:41everybody's like, yeah, that's the one Eileen.
- 1:18:44She's the one we saw police, do they were looking for a short
- 1:18:47blonde woman. Sometimes in the cop company of
- 1:18:49a another blond woman. Short hair and was more stocky
- 1:18:55so they make a task force with Captain Steve bigger of Marion
- 1:18:58County as the head, Steve was pretty solid that these women
- 1:19:01weren't actually hitchhiking as they had originally thought but
- 1:19:05that they were working the highway that changed how they
- 1:19:08viewed. The case hitchhiking wasn't
- 1:19:10really common in late 80s and early 90s like in the 70s so
- 1:19:15they realized that the only men stopping to pick up.
- 1:19:17Somebody was somebody looking for a good time, right?
- 1:19:21Now, usually they try not to involve the Press, but Steve
- 1:19:25brought the Press into this. And he was just like, this is
- 1:19:29this lady's picture and she killed a cop.
- 1:19:33That's all you need to know. Go find her.
- 1:19:36Well, so a truck driver named Bobby Lee Bobby Lee copis
- 1:19:41actually meets island in the beginning of November 1990, she
- 1:19:45told him she need to go to Orlando and she said her kids
- 1:19:48were in Daytona Beach at daycare and she was going to meet her
- 1:19:51sister in Orlando and they would drive over.
- 1:19:54Makes no sense. No, not at all.
- 1:19:55Because damn, that's a drive. These are multiple.
- 1:19:59While drives, why are you so far away from your babies man?
- 1:20:02Writing, only re kids and Daytona, which is like at the
- 1:20:05top of Florida, and you going to go check on her later.
- 1:20:08It's like in the South. It was wild.
- 1:20:11Oh my God. No, okay, so Bobby Lee, and the
- 1:20:16up having to stop by his bank, he took out money for to pay the
- 1:20:19insurance on his rig, which was four thousand dollars.
- 1:20:23She saw him, put it in the sun, visor don't show nobody with
- 1:20:28your hold it. She know how much it was, but
- 1:20:31she did see him, put a money envelope up in the visor, hmm.
- 1:20:35Now, she propositioned him and she's like, listen, for $100.
- 1:20:38I'll give you the best, blow job of your life, Bobby's like, no,
- 1:20:42thank you. And so then she tries again and
- 1:20:44he's like, no, I have a wife, I'm good, thank you very much,
- 1:20:47right? Yeah.
- 1:20:47And after the third time, she got pissed.
- 1:20:51And he could tell she was angry and she was agitated.
- 1:20:54And then she opened her purse to pull out a comb.
- 1:20:57And he saw the gun so he stops at the next truck stop and he's
- 1:21:02like, listen, here's five dollars.
- 1:21:04Tell your sister. I'm going to drive you all the
- 1:21:06way to Daytona. Hmm.
- 1:21:09As soon as she closes the cab, he locked the door and he said
- 1:21:13she looked mad as hell, and she starts screaming at him as he
- 1:21:16drove away Compass. I'll get you, you son of a
- 1:21:19bitch. I'll kill You like I did the
- 1:21:21other sons of bitches. Oh, no, no.
- 1:21:25See it does. No, you don't do.
- 1:21:27That was, was driving away. She's screaming at his truck,
- 1:21:31and you have no car. The police believe that the
- 1:21:35final man that she killed. She met after Bobby copass, So,
- 1:21:41she probably met him after wherever he dropped her off at?
- 1:21:44Yep, his name was Walter. Gino Antonio and she took out
- 1:21:48her rage on him. He was 62 years old, a truck
- 1:21:52driver security guard and a reserve police officer from
- 1:21:55Cocoa Beach. He was actually set out on
- 1:21:59November 17th at Saturday. He was heading to Alabama and
- 1:22:03hopes that he'd be able to pick up another job up there.
- 1:22:06He was recently engaged and he was wearing a silver and gold
- 1:22:09diamond ring. The same ring that Eileen would
- 1:22:12give to tie later, but we'll get there.
- 1:22:16Walter pretty much drove the same route as Peter symes taking
- 1:22:20the Florida, Turnpike to Wildwood and more than likely
- 1:22:23stopping at that Speedway truck. Stop before making his final
- 1:22:27push, North the split. They believe that's where he met
- 1:22:29Eileen angry ready to take it out on somebody the following
- 1:22:35day, a police officer who was out, hunting found a naked man,
- 1:22:3915 miles, south of Wildwood who had been shot four times three
- 1:22:43in the Torso. And one in the head, all 22
- 1:22:46caliber Bullets Eileen would tell the police, she
- 1:22:49propositioned Walter and he pulled out his police badge.
- 1:22:53And told her he'd arrest her, if she didn't have sex with him for
- 1:22:55free, she said she pulled out her gun.
- 1:22:58They struggled over it. He fell on the ground and then
- 1:23:02began running and she shot him in the back.
- 1:23:04Then he insulted her and she shot him again.
- 1:23:09He wasn't in his rig, he was in a regular car but Eileen took
- 1:23:12that car back to the Fairview motel and she asked the manager,
- 1:23:15if she could park her boyfriend's car behind the
- 1:23:17motel, she said her boyfriend was married and she didn't want
- 1:23:20the wife to drive by and see it. They were like.
- 1:23:23All right. Okay, so, haughty ack.
- 1:23:27Yeah. I just, I just wanted to add one
- 1:23:32little thing and that's to say, why?
- 1:23:35Why shoot somebody. If they're running away from
- 1:23:37your leaving, the area, just let him run.
- 1:23:40So what knew she was? Okay.
- 1:23:45Yeah. I get like trial Dominique.
- 1:23:47Let people just walk away. Not not her.
- 1:23:50She was like, hmm, buddy. I see, I get it but like if
- 1:23:54someone was if her story was true and he like like it was
- 1:23:58trying to like you know get stuff for free or like attacking
- 1:24:01her stuff like that. And then she pulled out the gun
- 1:24:04and he starts running away, let his ass run away.
- 1:24:06You don't have to kill him, or I don't know, maybe it's just me
- 1:24:09being wants to tell people. Well, look, it's a, he say, she
- 1:24:16say story, then, and right, and they are gonna believe the cop
- 1:24:20come on. Okay, we got me there.
- 1:24:28Yeah, like I said, that maroon Pontiac stayed there for a
- 1:24:34couple days behind the Fairview and then it disappeared.
- 1:24:38It was found on member 24th. A week later in Brevard County,
- 1:24:41the plates are missing. The keys were missing as well as
- 1:24:45all identifying information. And this time, all of the
- 1:24:48Budweiser cans had been cleaned off.
- 1:24:53They weren't Dustin form. So why do you have to clean them
- 1:24:55all? Thanks to you while they were
- 1:24:57destined for these ones. Oh so she decided you know, My
- 1:25:04break up after yourself. I know this is what we're not
- 1:25:07even listen, one thing was interesting, was that?
- 1:25:10Because of his time as a trucker Mark Walter was like, very used
- 1:25:13to logging all of his stops. He was very meticulous and so
- 1:25:18they were able to see how far he liked on the his run his little
- 1:25:23paper, how far he had driven and they discovered that in the week
- 1:25:27between his murder and then finding the car, someone had
- 1:25:31driven a thousand miles. That weren't recorded on his
- 1:25:35log. Yep.
- 1:25:38Walter's fiancé gave the police, a list of all the items he had
- 1:25:41with him, most were his preserve police items.
- 1:25:44All were missing his idea and clothing were later, found in
- 1:25:48Taylor County, Eileen sold as much stuff as she could.
- 1:25:52When Thanksgiving hit tie was just like, I need some space.
- 1:25:57I'm going back to Ohio. Now, the police are still
- 1:26:03getting all these calls about Eileen and tie and the many
- 1:26:06places they lived and they're building a timeline of the
- 1:26:09women's movements there. Many, landlords told the police
- 1:26:12that the short blonde woman was the leader of the two and they
- 1:26:15thought she was a truckstop Pro now.
- 1:26:18Eventually, Eileen, convinces, tie to come back after
- 1:26:22Thanksgiving and in the airport proposes to her with Walter
- 1:26:26Gino's, engagement ring, Then tie and Eileen.
- 1:26:31Go back to the Fairview. She learns her being evicted
- 1:26:34Eileen begs her to stay Eileen. Even throws her gun into the
- 1:26:38rose Bay to prove. She's done.
- 1:26:40I'm done with all this. December 3rd of friend, gives
- 1:26:46Eileen, and tie a ride and Eileen's, like, I'm going back.
- 1:26:50North drop me off at a greyhound, so I give her back
- 1:26:54the ring, Eileen drops off. Most of her items from the
- 1:26:57Fairview at a storage unit. Only keeping things in a tan
- 1:27:00suitcase, the friend who drove them around.
- 1:27:04She had sex with him, I guess. What is his way to say?
- 1:27:07Thank you, somehow Eileen, manages to convince the The
- 1:27:12Fairview, who, by the way, she is threatened now in the past,
- 1:27:17to let her rent a different room and she's like, it'll be
- 1:27:20different. I'm alone.
- 1:27:21My girlfriend's not here, there won't be any fighting or
- 1:27:23anything. Crazy you December 7th, using
- 1:27:26the fake name and Kami, Marsh Eileen pawns, Walters engagement
- 1:27:30ring for a measly 20 dollars. And she's kind of spends the
- 1:27:37next couple days being sad. She and leaves the room for
- 1:27:42quite some time and I'm sure everybody was grateful.
- 1:27:44Hmm. Now the task force gets a break
- 1:27:48from local police in Port Orange who had figured out the
- 1:27:51movements. I've Eileen in Thai from
- 1:27:53roughly, September to December the to its data.
- 1:27:56At a Fair View in Harbor, Oaks under the name, Kami Marsh
- 1:27:59green, then a small apartment behind the Belgrade restaurant
- 1:28:02near the Fairview, then back to the Fairview Eileen stayed there
- 1:28:06until December 10th. She'd use multiple IDs and
- 1:28:09Ladies working connected to different arrest in, loads of
- 1:28:13different cities. So first, the police look up
- 1:28:15time, more and realizes she is not a hardened criminal.
- 1:28:18She had like one thing in her past they look up Susan block
- 1:28:24Avec one of her IDs discover up trespassing arrest and that the
- 1:28:29photo doesn't match. Then I look up Cammy green and
- 1:28:33the photo of Eileen doesn't match the photo on Susan.
- 1:28:36Why have xid the real break in? The case comes though, when they
- 1:28:42learn that Kami Green Pond camera and a radar detector from
- 1:28:46Richard Mallory, she at one pawn shop, then a set of tools from
- 1:28:50David's peers, that a different one in Ormond Beach and back
- 1:28:54then. I don't know now because I've
- 1:28:56never pawned anything in our Modern Age, but back then it was
- 1:29:00common to fingerprint people when you Pawn things.
- 1:29:05Items have been sold but the fingerprint was invaluable
- 1:29:08right? Because like now they have your
- 1:29:10Social Security number so they can just hit your credit if you
- 1:29:13don't pay for the item that was there, right?
- 1:29:16Yeah. I've soon I've sold like one or
- 1:29:19two things at a pawn shop and I guess if you're if you're like
- 1:29:22renting from come back for it, right?
- 1:29:26Pay them for the money. They like loans, you okay for
- 1:29:30your item. Yeah.
- 1:29:31So this was if they didn't get their money back, they had your
- 1:29:34prints. So, absolutely invaluable to the
- 1:29:38investigation. Even if it was just a
- 1:29:40thumbprint, now, Florida had was called the automated fingerprint
- 1:29:43identification system. At this time.
- 1:29:45It didn't earn any results. Probably because they didn't
- 1:29:47have enough of the target markers with only one finger.
- 1:29:50So the fingerprint analyst Jenny Ahern decided to do this by
- 1:29:53hand. And she was like, I'm gonna go
- 1:29:56to all of the cities where all of these crimes took place under
- 1:30:01these different names, and compare them.
- 1:30:05She stopped at the first town and within an hour, had a match
- 1:30:09for an outstanding warrant for a woman named Lori.
- 1:30:12Grody Lori grote's, fingerprints for that case, matched the
- 1:30:19fingerprints, and Peter symes car.
- 1:30:23They send all this information to the National Crime
- 1:30:25Information Center and they get responses from Michigan,
- 1:30:28Colorado, and Florida confirming that Susan.
- 1:30:30Black Avec can be green, Lori Grody and Aileen, wuornos are
- 1:30:34all the same person. At this point, eyes back in Ohio
- 1:30:39and she is worried. She's trying to stay low, she's
- 1:30:44not going out. She's like, oh no, we're gonna
- 1:30:46get in trouble for this now, Lee goes out, drinking on, December
- 1:30:4919th. She ends up Sharon or trouble.
- 1:30:51So the next Marine named Dixie Mills at Wet.
- 1:30:53Willie's bar, on US1. Both were drinking to cure their
- 1:30:57heartache, and they talked about how, you know, Ty, left Eileen
- 1:31:02and Dixie's, wife left him and Dixie would say that they talked
- 1:31:07about art and parapsychology and ancient history, and he just
- 1:31:11didn't he'd never met someone who knew so many things.
- 1:31:14He also said that Lee was a Savage party animal with an
- 1:31:18insatiable desire for sex and alcohol, they spent the next
- 1:31:21five days together and after a week of hard, partying Dixie
- 1:31:25left her to go back home to his wife, his parting gift was 50
- 1:31:28bucks. Oh, Later on like a year later,
- 1:31:34he would tell the Globe newspaper, a different story
- 1:31:37saying that Eileen had tried to extort him for five hundred
- 1:31:40dollars a month and she had fantasies and Kinks that scared
- 1:31:43him like she told him, she wanted to be raped in the woods
- 1:31:46and then shot in the head. He also said he took her to to
- 1:31:49family events and she got drunk and insulted, his family.
- 1:31:52And I honestly don't believe his side of the story.
- 1:31:55This is how, I don't know. Yeah.
- 1:31:57Eileen was very candid. When they brought Dixie up and
- 1:32:01she was Like yeah, he paid me for sex.
- 1:32:04That's how you go. She's like, we had a couple laps
- 1:32:07but like, I never met his kids or his family and, like direct
- 1:32:11quote from Eileen. She's like, what man is going to
- 1:32:13introduce a hooker like me to his daughter when he's trying to
- 1:32:16get back with his wife. It's all bull.
- 1:32:19I mean, she has a point. Absolutely.
- 1:32:23So the task force decides to set up a surveillance on all the
- 1:32:26local bars in Daytona. It took a couple of nights but
- 1:32:28they find I lean on January 8th. 81 from this point forward
- 1:32:33there. Keep their eyes on her.
- 1:32:35They watch her into the night, and they see her at the bars
- 1:32:40described in the report as mood swings from friendly and
- 1:32:43congenial to aggressive. And abusive, and that was just
- 1:32:47her normal day-to-day interactions with people.
- 1:32:50They wanted to watch her for longer, but they discovered that
- 1:32:53the following night at the bar that she liked to hang out at
- 1:32:56there was going to be a major like truck like a biker party.
- 1:33:02Like all these bikers from like all over Florida, like, hundreds
- 1:33:05of bikers, were gonna show up and so they're like, there's no
- 1:33:08way we're going to be able to find her through that.
- 1:33:12Because she could just put on a helmet and disappear, right,
- 1:33:16right. She could also kill someone to
- 1:33:18that night. So they were like, oh, we got to
- 1:33:20do something. So while they're thinking about
- 1:33:22this, as they're learning about this, it's still the 8th to Port
- 1:33:27Orange Authority plainclothes, Cops show up.
- 1:33:32At the bar, it's called was called The Last Resort.
- 1:33:36And they're like, hey we want to talk to you.
- 1:33:40And the task force is like, oh my God, what are you doing
- 1:33:44there? Making frantic calls to the
- 1:33:46superiors at Port Orange PD. They're like Stand Down.
- 1:33:50Mind you, there are six different counties on this
- 1:33:52operation. They do not want Eileen to know
- 1:33:54that they are planning to arrest her because she could hop in a
- 1:33:58car with anyone and be gone, right?
- 1:34:00Yeah. So when one of the, the cops
- 1:34:03goes back to the car to run her ID, you know, normal cop stuff.
- 1:34:07He gets a call from Bob Kelly of Volusia County.
- 1:34:09That's like, do not arrest Eileen under any circumstance.
- 1:34:13Like what are y'all doing? You go freaking out, they
- 1:34:16weren't in on it. They weren't in on it because
- 1:34:18the murders hadn't happened in her neighborhood.
- 1:34:21Okay? Okay.
- 1:34:22Well, it's always followed order.
- 1:34:26They follow orders and they did not arrest you.
- 1:34:28They let her go back into the barn.
- 1:34:30Like I said, they ended. Moving forward like taking her
- 1:34:33and because what was happening the following night.
- 1:34:35So what they did was the night of the 8th, she slept outside on
- 1:34:40this, like yellow car like seat from a car.
- 1:34:43She even have a place to stay the undercover cops like
- 1:34:47eventually like they talked to her during the following day on
- 1:34:50the 9th and They were like, oh yeah, it was gonna be that big
- 1:34:55party tonight. Cool.
- 1:34:57You know, well we have a hotel room at the Fairview.
- 1:34:59If you want to clean up before the Biker Party arrives and at
- 1:35:03first she wasn't really open to it.
- 1:35:05And then she was just like, okay?
- 1:35:06And as soon as she stepped up her the bar, they arrested her
- 1:35:09for identity, theft and fraud and unlawful possession of a
- 1:35:12firearm. They didn't want to let her know
- 1:35:16that they wanted her for murder because they still wanted the
- 1:35:19murder weapon and they also wanted to get Ty.
- 1:35:22With Eileen in jail, they were also able to take that key from
- 1:35:26her, that the storage key that had all her stuff in it, right?
- 1:35:30Right. For the things that were missing
- 1:35:31from the men. Now that same day that Eileen's
- 1:35:34arrested the police, go after Ty, they like they actually have
- 1:35:39the Ohio, the police. Well, actually she left Ohio,
- 1:35:42she was in Scranton, so they had Scranton, police, just hold her.
- 1:35:47Now, once she's done at the police station and cleared of
- 1:35:50any local wrongdoing, they book a hotel room for her and they
- 1:35:53call Jerry Thompson, from Citrus County and Bruce monster from
- 1:35:56Marion County who fly up to Scranton with the items from the
- 1:36:01storage locker. Specifically items from Charles
- 1:36:04Humphreys and Corky read, they read tie her rights.
- 1:36:07They're like you're not being charged with anything but you're
- 1:36:09also not being given immunity and liked.
- 1:36:12I just talked and she was like--, I'll testify against
- 1:36:15Eileen Originally, she was like, I kind of knew about Richard
- 1:36:19Mallory because of the Cadillac and then she was like, no, well,
- 1:36:22technically Eileen confessed to me and I told her to stop
- 1:36:25talking about it. They take tie back to Florida
- 1:36:30and the police are like, listen, we need you to reach out to
- 1:36:33Eileen. Say, you want to get your stuff
- 1:36:36from the storage locker, say that the police are bothering
- 1:36:40you in Ohio about these murders because your pictures next to
- 1:36:45hers, you know, the Sketch. Now, went, I first called her at
- 1:36:51the police? I got the jail.
- 1:36:53I only knew that the, the phones were always recorded.
- 1:36:56So she's like, using Code words and she will not come out and
- 1:36:59say what the police need to know.
- 1:37:01This goes on for three days and finally Eileen has like listen
- 1:37:05just go ahead and let them know what you need to know, what they
- 1:37:09want to know or anything. Like I'll cover for you because
- 1:37:13you're innocent. I'm not going to let you go to
- 1:37:14jail. If I have to confess, I There
- 1:37:18were 11 calls and all and to be honest they are absolutely sad.
- 1:37:23I think that I was speaking, honestly, when she told Eileen
- 1:37:26that she was scared, she didn't want to go to jail and I think
- 1:37:29that Eileen was being honest when she said over and over like
- 1:37:32I'm not gonna let you go down for this, right?
- 1:37:34Yeah. I mean okay yeah almost
- 1:37:38immediately ileane speaks to a CEO in her prison corrections
- 1:37:43officer and She just starts kind of offloading on the police
- 1:37:49officer and she's just like, I'm one of the people from the news
- 1:37:54that they've been looking for and she's like, I love my
- 1:37:57girlfriend and she has nothing to do with this.
- 1:38:00She's like I'm the one who killed six man.
- 1:38:02And on January 16th 1991, Lawrence her zepa and Bruce
- 1:38:07monster, showed up to talk to Eileen, she was given to public
- 1:38:11defenders. She immediately kind of wave.
- 1:38:15Rights and during that confession during a conversation
- 1:38:18she confessed to the murders of David Spears, Richard Mallory
- 1:38:21Charles carsten Peter, symes Troy Burris Walter G, no Anthony
- 1:38:25and Charles Humphries, she wanted them to know she did on
- 1:38:29her own, Ty had nothing to do with it.
- 1:38:31She told him that most of the time she was always drunk and
- 1:38:33she was hooking and things got rough.
- 1:38:35And she got scared and she killed somebody interspersed
- 1:38:39with this testimony though. Are these moments where she just
- 1:38:44Rambles about? How much she loves Thai and how
- 1:38:46Thai is a good pure person. Honestly, these transcripts were
- 1:38:51hard to read through, because I know, regardless of her mental
- 1:38:56state, she was legally sane enough to stand trial, but it's
- 1:38:58not like Bundy who could tell you the places and names and who
- 1:39:02he killed and where they were hidden, right?
- 1:39:04Or, you know, re River Killer, like Eileen.
- 1:39:09Didn't know who any of these men were?
- 1:39:13It was just a stream of consciousness.
- 1:39:16There was no thrills in, get a thrill from these deaths.
- 1:39:19She did not covet their remains. She was moving from one moment
- 1:39:22to another just making enough money to survive and then moving
- 1:39:25again, right? Because like I think of it as
- 1:39:30like the man, they do to stalking, they any research on
- 1:39:35these people before they even kill them.
- 1:39:37And then she just was just like, yeah, in the moment.
- 1:39:42And I do wanna pause and like, so, we all know.
- 1:39:45Well, not a know, some people probably listening know that
- 1:39:47there are different kinds of serial killers.
- 1:39:49We have talked about Comfort killers in the past, any daus,
- 1:39:53Belle gunness. But I leaned us count as a
- 1:39:56comfort killer. And the main reason is that they
- 1:40:01kill for financial Comfort, right?
- 1:40:04That's the standard. Now, Comfort Killers can be
- 1:40:07organized or disorganized, like nannie.
- 1:40:09Doss made plants. And kill people slowly, with
- 1:40:12poison, over a long period of time, Eileen was very
- 1:40:15disorganized in her approach. Most women serial killers are
- 1:40:19Comfort Killers, but they are not usually as violent as Eileen
- 1:40:22was. This makes for very unique in
- 1:40:26the ways for people who research killers and there are lots of
- 1:40:29elements to this case that do not fit the norm and that's kind
- 1:40:32of why we're talking about her. Because these things confused us
- 1:40:37about the case actually. Recently, I was speaking to a
- 1:40:40couple people on my life and we were discussing attachment
- 1:40:44disorder if people don't know, it's something that can happen
- 1:40:49in children. And it's children not forming
- 1:40:55the proper bonds with their caregivers and then they remain
- 1:41:00like this. Well, into adulthood.
- 1:41:02And it usually goes one of two ways.
- 1:41:04The child becomes almost aggressively social in order to
- 1:41:07gain adults approval and trust, or we have the extreme opposite
- 1:41:11which is called reactive attachment disorder where you
- 1:41:16have the child has a hard time, controlling their emotions and
- 1:41:19stresses sometimes they appear emotionless.
- 1:41:22And social interactions. They grow up resistant to
- 1:41:26affection. Struggle, to maintain
- 1:41:28relationships - self-worth anger problems.
- 1:41:31Impulsiveness, Detachment. Like I'm obviously not a
- 1:41:34psychologist but I've met children with this issue and
- 1:41:38there was a major case in the 90s with a little girl named
- 1:41:40Beth Thomas, who was actively trying to kill her adopted
- 1:41:44parents, and her younger brother who had reactive attachment
- 1:41:48disorder, like virtually she had no, She just was just like, I
- 1:41:53don't know who these people are. I don't care about that.
- 1:41:55And so I wonder if I'm like, dang, I wonder if she could have
- 1:41:58had something like that but we didn't even know what that was
- 1:42:01called back then, right? Yeah.
- 1:42:03When she was a little kid, And like, that's like, part of me
- 1:42:08feels like, even though I lean waived her rights and like I
- 1:42:11said, she's definitely not like insane, but like I feel like,
- 1:42:14like looking over like those transcripts of those.
- 1:42:18Like, for our confession, she was just so depressed and like,
- 1:42:24empty and it still feels an ethical even though they
- 1:42:28followed all of the legal guidelines, regardless, after
- 1:42:32those interviews on January 16th, I leaned his kind of
- 1:42:35settled On into living at the prison, she was over the news.
- 1:42:38So she was reading about herself.
- 1:42:40She was sure that she had saved ties.
- 1:42:42So she focused on the fact that she was kind of becoming a star
- 1:42:48Two days after that, though. See you said that?
- 1:42:51Like there was a little shift in her personality.
- 1:42:53This one CEO, Susan handsome was on duty and they were told to
- 1:42:56keep watch over Eileen because she was a mystery.
- 1:42:59And me, they didn't know that she was as they were calling,
- 1:43:02they were referred to Eileen as the They called her the hooker
- 1:43:09hitchhiker or like it was something ridiculous like that
- 1:43:13or Highway hitch, Highway hooker, that's they called her.
- 1:43:17And So, they didn't know that I like mean, was the highway
- 1:43:23hooker. So, when Susan walks by aliens
- 1:43:27door, like Eileen's, like, they're talking about me, and
- 1:43:30they're saying that, like, I'm a killer who robs and a robber who
- 1:43:32kills and she's like, no, that's not what happened.
- 1:43:35This was on self-defense and she starts to tell him the CEO.
- 1:43:37She'd been raped so many times in her life that she was just
- 1:43:40sick of it and that she didn't kill them, they were going to
- 1:43:42rape her. And this is something that
- 1:43:44Eileen repeats over and over. Again, during her case.
- 1:43:46And like I said, I honestly believe that she He believed
- 1:43:50this was true, it was not the reality.
- 1:43:53None of these men sexually assaulted her but she believed
- 1:43:57it, she believed it was going that well access, not true.
- 1:44:00I think Richard Mallory was one of the ones who could have
- 1:44:04because he had a history of sexual assault and getting weird
- 1:44:08and violent with like strippers and other local workers.
- 1:44:11So I think if there was anybody who did fit that mold, it was
- 1:44:15the first guy. Great might have actually tried
- 1:44:18something with her and he was The Catalyst to her snapping and
- 1:44:21started killing people. But either way Eileen was stuck
- 1:44:26in this weird place, where she like I said, she simultaneously
- 1:44:28like didn't seem to really like men, but she needed their money.
- 1:44:31And the only job she ever had was prostitution.
- 1:44:35So, like, having to rely on these people who have hurt you.
- 1:44:38Mmm. Yeah, it's it's tough.
- 1:44:40It's a and then, like Eileen would flip back and forth
- 1:44:44sometimes she would tell the seat like Hanson.
- 1:44:47You know, I see ten guys day and I didn't kill unless I had to,
- 1:44:51but then she also talked about like, how she had had sex with
- 1:44:54her. 250,000 people and the math behind that is that she would
- 1:44:58have had to seem like 50 people a day for like 10 years.
- 1:45:03Not possible and she sat like Hanson testified that Eileen had
- 1:45:09virtually no remorse. And that, like she laughed and
- 1:45:12she joked about murdering them. She never Hansen, says she never
- 1:45:16heard Eileen say, you know, I'm sorry I had to do this or I'm
- 1:45:20upset just, if I didn't kill him, he would have hurt people.
- 1:45:25So there is a press leak and they find out that Eileen is the
- 1:45:28highway hooker. She gets inundated with books
- 1:45:32movie deals before her trial. She signed off the legal rights
- 1:45:35to her story for a film Eileen thought that, when she beat her
- 1:45:39case, she would make millions from the book deals in the
- 1:45:41movie, because she was sure that like, this was self-defense, she
- 1:45:45didn't know that Florida actually has a law prohibiting
- 1:45:48criminals from profiting off of their crimes.
- 1:45:52So she was not allowed to make any money from anything that we
- 1:45:57have seen from her in terms of her autobiography her biography,
- 1:46:02the movie monster nothing to be fair, though, the movie came out
- 1:46:06a year after she died, so she was never gonna see that money,
- 1:46:09right? So she gets indicted January,
- 1:46:1228th 1991 for Richard Mallory. Then as February progresses,
- 1:46:16they add in three more. And then they decide to push for
- 1:46:19the death penalty with Richard Mallory before they have even
- 1:46:24finished the investigations into the other murder.
- 1:46:27That trial starts a year later, January, 14th 1990 to the
- 1:46:32evidence against Arlene is overwhelming and damning the
- 1:46:35medical center said that, Richard Mallory would have taken
- 1:46:3910 to 20 minutes to die. And it would have been agonizing
- 1:46:43oof. Ty's testimony was important
- 1:46:46because it contradicted virtually everything that Eileen
- 1:46:49said along with the CEO Hansen, who said that Eileen didn't show
- 1:46:54any remorse site, I said the same thing.
- 1:46:56They also pulled in 12 men who met Eileen on the highway and
- 1:47:01testified like about her demeanor.
- 1:47:06Florida also has this law called the Williams rule, which allows
- 1:47:09evidence that's not related to the crime to be submitted.
- 1:47:12If it can prove, there is a pattern of behavior or an
- 1:47:15escalation. So they added the other six
- 1:47:17murders to evidence to show that there was a pattern of behavior
- 1:47:21to show that she was not killing because of self-defense.
- 1:47:26That's um, that's, that's pretty good.
- 1:47:30I guess the police showed the video from the confession And
- 1:47:35like I said, when Eileen was talking about this, the only
- 1:47:38thing she was concerned about was tied in, do anything, tied
- 1:47:41into anything wrong. She's wonderful.
- 1:47:43She's perfect, she's special. But when she's talking about
- 1:47:46like killing the, man, she's just kind of Happily chatting
- 1:47:51and that didn't make her a sympathetic defendant her Tony's
- 1:47:55were like, they're going to call you.
- 1:47:58We're going to call you to talk, but when the other side cross
- 1:48:02examines you invoke the Fifth Amendment Eileen didn't do that
- 1:48:07for a while. She incriminated herself on the
- 1:48:10stand about 25 different times. My God and she was angry and she
- 1:48:15was frustrated. And that also didn't look really
- 1:48:19good for her. Finally, she did invoke the
- 1:48:21Fifth Amendment and they stopped, but the damage was
- 1:48:24done. Yes, you're right.
- 1:48:27She's the only defense witness. They had nobody really damn
- 1:48:33nobody. We went to deliberate on January
- 1:48:3827th, they came back in 91 minutes with their verdict
- 1:48:42guilty of premeditated first-degree murder, which is
- 1:48:44wild because I don't think this was premeditated.
- 1:48:46I thought it was. I seem pretty random than me.
- 1:48:49Yeah, exactly. That's what it sounds like.
- 1:48:51Yeah. As they filed out of the
- 1:48:53courtroom Eileen started screaming at them.
- 1:48:55I'm innocent. I was raped.
- 1:48:56I hope you get raped you scumbags.
- 1:49:00This is unfortunate because these were the same people who
- 1:49:02still had to sentence her, right?
- 1:49:04Yeah. The for the defense hearing they
- 1:49:08bring in a witness to testify to her mental illness.
- 1:49:11Loads of doctors say she has borderline personality disorder.
- 1:49:14They talked about her upbringing destroying her from a young age,
- 1:49:17her defense attorney like during her statement like we urge
- 1:49:20Eileen is Dan a damaged primitive child and like she
- 1:49:24liked her actual lawyer cried and she was like, spare her
- 1:49:27life, put her in prison forever, didn't matter the judge.
- 1:49:31Remember that explosion at the court, the jury, Recommended the
- 1:49:36death penalty by electric chair, the judge reaffirm this on
- 1:49:39January 13th 1992. I'm going to read you his
- 1:49:42statement cuz I just read, it says Eileen.
- 1:49:47Carol were knows being brought before the court by attorney.
- 1:49:49William Miller, Tricia Jenkins and Billy Nola's have been tried
- 1:49:52and found guilty of count one first-degree, premeditated
- 1:49:55murder and first degree, felony murder of Richard.
- 1:49:57Mallory a capital felony and count to armed robbery with a
- 1:50:01firearm here, by judge and found.
- 1:50:03Guilty of said offenses, the court having given the
- 1:50:05defendant, an opportunity to be heard and to offer a matters in
- 1:50:09Mitigation Of sentence. It is the sentence of this court
- 1:50:13that you Eileen Carol, wuornos be Read by the sheriff of
- 1:50:16Volusia County to the proper officer of the Department of
- 1:50:19Corrections, in the State of Florida, and by him safely kept
- 1:50:23until warrant of the governor of the state of Florida.
- 1:50:26You Aileen wuornos be electrocuted until you are dead.
- 1:50:29And may God have mercy on your corpse.
- 1:50:33That is not normally how you end that it has had mercy on your
- 1:50:37soul, right? Uh-huh.
- 1:50:39And so, it actually causes like an audible gasp from the
- 1:50:42courtroom and people weren't sure whether they had said the
- 1:50:45right Right thing, Eileen was gutted, she pleaded no contest
- 1:50:49to the murder of Charles, Humphreys, Troy Perez, and David
- 1:50:52Spears on March, 31st 1982. She told the court, she wanted
- 1:50:55to get right with God. She made a really bizarre
- 1:50:58statement to that court that ended with I wanted to confess
- 1:51:01to you. That Richard Mallory did
- 1:51:03violently great me. As of told you what the others
- 1:51:06did not. And then she turned and looked
- 1:51:09at the assistant State Attorney Rick Ridgeway.
- 1:51:11And whispered to him, I hope your wife and children get raped
- 1:51:14in the ass. And that's just kind of The
- 1:51:17Duality and Mylene that we've seen throughout the story,
- 1:51:21right? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:51:23Something to expect coming from her moments of honesty and like
- 1:51:27wholesomeness followed by defensive anger and attempting
- 1:51:30to hurt people. Now, Friday, March 15th, she's
- 1:51:35given three more death sentences, she flips off the
- 1:51:38judge and called him a motherfucker.
- 1:51:43Now it was after the trial that the defense found the past of
- 1:51:47Richard Mallory. But by this point, she already
- 1:51:50had three other deaths and ince's so they were like.
- 1:51:52Should we even try and appeal? By the end of 92, she had been
- 1:51:56affirmed for six, new death sentences.
- 1:51:58Oh God Inside prison, it was like she'd already given up she
- 1:52:05was in for Department of Corrections at Broward
- 1:52:07correctional institute and so she was moved to Florida, state
- 1:52:10prison for execution. Her lawyers did trying to appeal
- 1:52:13even though she didn't want them to.
- 1:52:15And that appeal was denied by the US Supreme Court, in 1986
- 1:52:18after Eileen, tried to get her court-appointed attorneys to
- 1:52:21fall back. She eventually petitioned the
- 1:52:24Florida Supreme Court in 2001 to dismiss her legal counsel saying
- 1:52:29I killed those men. I robbed This cold as ice and I
- 1:52:31do it again. There's no chance and keeping me
- 1:52:33alive or anything because I'd kill again, I've hate crawling
- 1:52:36through my system, I'm so sick of hearing this, she's crazy
- 1:52:40stuff. I've been evaluated so many
- 1:52:41times. I'm confident saying and I'm
- 1:52:43trying to tell the truth, I'm someone who's seriously hates
- 1:52:46human life and I kill again. Her lawyers would like she is
- 1:52:51not competent to make a request like this, but the court agreed.
- 1:52:57During her time on death row, she was there with a couple
- 1:52:59other famous faces, like Judy Bueno, en o who had been on
- 1:53:03death row since nineteen 54, poisoning her husband and
- 1:53:07drowning her disabled, son, and planting a bomb and her
- 1:53:09boyfriend's car. Judy was the first woman
- 1:53:13executed on Florida March 30th 1998.
- 1:53:16There were other people to people who got their sentences
- 1:53:19commuted or reverse but Eileen didn't want that.
- 1:53:22By the time of her execution, she was 46 years old and
- 1:53:25honestly, a very hard life had added a decade to her looks.
- 1:53:29She was still saying, petite woman, but she had been
- 1:53:32stretched so far that by the time she was in prison in 91.
- 1:53:36There wasn't a lot left in her, not a lot of fight anymore.
- 1:53:41Death row cells, don't have bars.
- 1:53:42There's a metal door with a hatch to dispense food
- 1:53:45medication. She had one tiny window that
- 1:53:47looked at the parking lot. Goddamn her cell was that like
- 1:53:52soft Baker Miller pink that Alexander Shaw's told the
- 1:53:55prisons in the 60s, would decrease violent, aggressive
- 1:53:58behavior, maybe it worked. I don't know, Eileen didn't
- 1:54:02really raging herself, she read books about self-help
- 1:54:04Enlightenment. She wrote letters to Arlene
- 1:54:07prowl. This horse, breeder who saw her
- 1:54:09in the paper and told Eileen. That she needed a mother and so
- 1:54:12they refer to each other as my adopted mother, my adopted
- 1:54:17daughter. Even though Arlene was only 13
- 1:54:19years older than her. She wrote to her friend Dawn,
- 1:54:23Bodkins from when they were little.
- 1:54:24But her only childhood friend, that would be the return to a
- 1:54:28book called dear Dawn. She spoke with authors
- 1:54:30journalists she and Christopher Barry D would work on the
- 1:54:33autobiography monster. My true story while she was in
- 1:54:36prison. She made the deal for the movie.
- 1:54:38I think she really wanted people to know her.
- 1:54:40Story. She told the Orlando Sentinel at
- 1:54:43one point, I'm not a man hater. I'm just so used to being
- 1:54:46treated like dirt that I guess it's become a way of life but
- 1:54:50I'm a decent person. Ultimately Eileen, spent 11
- 1:54:53years and 4 months. And virtual isolation, waiting
- 1:54:56for execution. Pretty much begging the state to
- 1:54:59hurry up. There was still occasional
- 1:55:01outbursts like in 2002, she accused of prison of putting
- 1:55:05dirt and Things in her food. She said the president was
- 1:55:10trying to make her kill herself that they wanted to rape her.
- 1:55:13She said there were strip searches handcuffing, that was
- 1:55:18tight people kicking her door constant window checks, low
- 1:55:21water pressure, mildew on her mattress and that some of the
- 1:55:25CEOs cat called her her last week alive.
- 1:55:29She did a bunch of interviews with Nick Broomfield.
- 1:55:31Now, he has done a documentary on her in 1992 called Aileen,
- 1:55:34wuornos the selling of a serial killer Her.
- 1:55:37And he was actually one of the few people that I lean trusted,
- 1:55:39because Nick believed that her case was Miss Manilow mishandled
- 1:55:43and he released the second documentary life and death of a
- 1:55:47serial killer Like to counter what the reports like the the
- 1:55:54courts report. All right.
- 1:55:55We're okay, both of those films were actually used to make the
- 1:55:59movie monster in 2003. Her conservation, her
- 1:56:03conversations, do that week before she died ranged from
- 1:56:06sadness, complaining, about the prison feeling like she was
- 1:56:08tortured and one point. She even yelled at Nick, you
- 1:56:12sabotage my ass society and the cops and the system.
- 1:56:15A raped woman got executed in was used for books and movies
- 1:56:18and shit. It later, Nick and Don would
- 1:56:20talk and that eyes, they realize that Eileen was really talking
- 1:56:24about the society that we live in and media using her.
- 1:56:28Now September 20th, they wake her up, they get her dressed,
- 1:56:32move her to the execution site. The route from Broward prison
- 1:56:36was ironically the same Highway. She had worked and killed on
- 1:56:39I-95 to the Florida. Turnpike.
- 1:56:41West of Wildwood up. I-75 to Gainesville to the
- 1:56:46United Correctional Institution, which was formerly known as
- 1:56:49Florida State Prison. She was held in the special
- 1:56:51security cell, let 24 hours and watch 24 hours.
- 1:56:55It was honestly more of a cage than anything else.
- 1:56:58You didn't climb to speak to a priest or a chaplain, she
- 1:57:01declined. She denied her last meal asked
- 1:57:03for coffee instead on October 9th, 2002, she was supposed to
- 1:57:07be killed by electric chair, but in 2000, Florida, had brought in
- 1:57:11lethal injection. On the day of she didn't fight
- 1:57:15she walked to the execution chamber.
- 1:57:16Calmly and her last words were yes I would just like to say I'm
- 1:57:20sailing with The Rock and I'll be back like Independence Day
- 1:57:23With Jesus, June 6, like the movie Big Mothership And all
- 1:57:27I'll be back. Back.
- 1:57:28I'll be back and she died on 9:47 a.m. she is the second
- 1:57:34woman in Florida and the tenth and the u.s. to be executed
- 1:57:37since the United States Supreme Court restored capital
- 1:57:40punishment. 1976 she was cremated as her request Dawn,
- 1:57:47scattered her ashes at a secret location and Foster Ian.
- 1:57:49Michigan, Eileen had one of the requests that Natalie Merchant
- 1:57:53song Carnival was played at her memorial service.
- 1:57:56That album was something that she Listen to a lot on death
- 1:57:59row, when Natalie heard about it, she was like, oh, you can
- 1:58:03use that song in the ending credits for your movie, Nick
- 1:58:06Broomfield, when next enter the film to watch.
- 1:58:11She said it was too disturbing and Natalie will know.
- 1:58:16Like she just said that, like, you know, Eileen had a really
- 1:58:18hard life, and this is like terrible to watch but she also
- 1:58:22said it was very odd to think of the places, my music can go.
- 1:58:25Once it leaves my hand, if it gave her some Solace.
- 1:58:28I have to be grateful, okay? Ultimately they they decided
- 1:58:36that she had borderline personality disorder and
- 1:58:38antisocial personality disorder. She's very famously known for
- 1:58:42scoring 32 on the psychopathy checklist in which the highest
- 1:58:46score was thought to be a 3000 honestly, I don't know if
- 1:58:51somebody like Eileen would exist in today's world.
- 1:58:53I worked in child care for 10 years.
- 1:58:55I met kids with a multitude of Disorders and mental illnesses.
- 1:59:00And in today's day we have a lot of resources for children.
- 1:59:03Kids do fall through the cracks but like Gosh, one of the
- 1:59:06horrible details. I know about my work based on
- 1:59:09that work, is that like the current rate of sexual assault
- 1:59:11in, the US for children is 28%, this is the lowest it's been in
- 1:59:16decades. So in in the age when Eileen
- 1:59:21lived it was much, much higher. We have brought it down to that
- 1:59:2528 percent based on teaching parents and anybody who works
- 1:59:29with children how to spot things before they become things, we
- 1:59:34are very far from fixing the issue.
- 1:59:36We're teaching kids about agency autonomy, right?
- 1:59:41Yeah, we got, you know what? It's funny.
- 1:59:43We got our kids this book and it's it's, it's about, you know,
- 1:59:50how people are, you know, you're not supposed to be touched by
- 1:59:52anybody basically and how you know, my parts are my parts, and
- 1:59:56I don't share those. Anybody and so, it's a really
- 1:59:59good book for like, you know, teaching is in something that so
- 2:00:03they know that, you know, you're not supposed to be and if
- 2:00:06anything happens like that you do speak up and you know, tell
- 2:00:09someone that you trust. Mmm.
- 2:00:12Yeah, it's wild that we have to teach this but that we have the
- 2:00:16evidence of Decades of not teaching it, right?
- 2:00:19Yeah. Leaving our kids, vulnerable to
- 2:00:23abuse. Honestly, I don't know where I
- 2:00:26sit on this. If she should have gotten the
- 2:00:28death penalty or if they should have given her a chance to get
- 2:00:31their be and medication and see if she could live a different
- 2:00:35life. Like, I don't know.
- 2:00:36Hmm. I know I said, like I said,
- 2:00:39after I looked through all those transcripts I was just
- 2:00:41overwhelmingly sad. Yes, it's this is a bummer.
- 2:00:46But story pretty keys. I know what it really was.
- 2:00:52I gotta ask what happened to what's her face.
- 2:00:56Hi-yah. After all, this did she did she
- 2:01:00not visit Eileen at all? Like does she not have visitors
- 2:01:04at all because like I mean was she died at 43?
- 2:01:13Okay wait. No wrong time at 43 or Cuz I'm
- 2:01:22just like, well she kept your butt out of jail.
- 2:01:25You like to least you do is like visit her.
- 2:01:27Yeah. There is a picture of the two of
- 2:01:36them and Eileen's in like a like a jumpsuit, like a blue
- 2:01:42jumpsuit. So, I think, Ty did visit her at
- 2:01:45some point in prison and Eileen's laughing in this photo.
- 2:01:49So I think they might have made up.
- 2:01:51Okay. Nope, never mind till the date
- 2:02:01of, I'll ease execution. Tyria, more did not pay her a
- 2:02:03visit in jail. So this must have been before
- 2:02:06the murder that picture must have been before the murder case
- 2:02:09came down. Okay.
- 2:02:12Yep. After the trial, she became
- 2:02:15reclusive and lived a very secret of life and move back to
- 2:02:19Pennsylvania with her family, okay?
- 2:02:23Okay. So, nope.
- 2:02:24Nope. You're right.
- 2:02:25She did Keep Ass out of prison, but there's no honor among
- 2:02:29Thieves. Okay, all right.
- 2:02:35Well, after that, rather depressing discussion of mental
- 2:02:39health and crime, maybe you have something better to talk about
- 2:02:43today. Brian, I do, I do actually help.
- 2:02:48Because, when you're my notes to Pop Up and goodness gracious, my
- 2:02:51computer slow today. All right, listen, I understand.
- 2:02:53I'm in, I'm looking for a way for me to buy what I need, but
- 2:02:59also get an upgrade, that's the way it goes.
- 2:03:05So I've been thinking a lot about how no one really talks
- 2:03:09about witches eating children as much as they should, you know,
- 2:03:12excuse me, which is, I just want to make sure we all heard that.
- 2:03:24Yeah, that's right. Which is eating children.
- 2:03:26No one talks about it enough. Like, it's not one of the
- 2:03:29cautionary. Tales you hear any more about?
- 2:03:31I didn't know that which is eat children.
- 2:03:33I'm pretty sure the only Everyone I know is Baba Yaga and
- 2:03:38I thought she wasn't a witch. I thought she was another kind
- 2:03:41of creature. Okay, well it was just a hag and
- 2:03:47like in D&D hags are different than witches.
- 2:03:51Because of course, I know Dungeons & Dragons more than
- 2:03:53anything else, we're not talking DD today.
- 2:03:56Alright, so all you know, all know more people care about when
- 2:04:01it comes to which is that you know, is that they'll get hex
- 2:04:04Torino, the razor dead or maybe commune with some type of dark
- 2:04:08lord who fucking knows, you know, which are all true.
- 2:04:11You know, you know, this happens sometimes witches, I guess but
- 2:04:15you know it's also true which just can be fickle, okay?
- 2:04:19They may. To eat someone one second.
- 2:04:22And then turn around and help someone else, help.
- 2:04:25What's up with that, right? The lady from Hansel and Gretel.
- 2:04:28Was she a witch Yeah. Oh I just thought she was a
- 2:04:32cannibal. I didn't know she was doing a
- 2:04:35spell. I just thought she liked the
- 2:04:37taste of children. I mean, I'm sorry.
- 2:04:49I'm like, this is Anyway, I guess I could just get you what
- 2:04:57I'm talking about. No, I just thought she liked the
- 2:05:03taste. You're not wrong, not wrong at
- 2:05:10all. So a minute for the approval of
- 2:05:14the Midnight Society, This is the tale of your guests, it.
- 2:05:19So I guess whatever Baba Yaga. Like I said, I didn't know she
- 2:05:23was a witch. I thought that was a whole
- 2:05:25different kind of creature. No, it's not.
- 2:05:29It's not as subspecies of which its it is.
- 2:05:32Which and to be fair, that's the only detail I know as Russian or
- 2:05:37like in that area. Um, she's Russian well because
- 2:05:42my one friend is Ukrainian and he talks about the probably
- 2:05:45gonna go but I'd say it's a Slavic, okay.
- 2:05:50Sorry, I always guess, I don't mean to guess what?
- 2:05:53You're going to talk about it. I make it so obvious when I'm
- 2:05:57talking about which is okay. So um she's from Russia.
- 2:06:07But like a few to her origin story.
- 2:06:08I'm ready. Okay.
- 2:06:10Okay, okay. So as many of y'all have already
- 2:06:17guessed Baba, Yaga is a witch but not just any which I mean,
- 2:06:21you know how people like we're just try but which is being like
- 2:06:24an old ugly Crone who lives out in the woods that would eat
- 2:06:28children. When in reality, they were just
- 2:06:31like some hot-ass called girls like just getting high in the
- 2:06:34woods and can well, Hurry up. I do.
- 2:06:38I thought that was the modern retelling.
- 2:06:40That was the craft version of witches.
- 2:06:43I want. That is when I saw the craft.
- 2:06:48That's, that's the that's the, which that people normally get
- 2:06:51when they think. Okay.
- 2:06:53Which stardew Valley the game on switch?
- 2:07:03The little animals and that you sell the bells and why can't I
- 2:07:06remember it? Oh, Animal Crossing in my Animal
- 2:07:09Crossing I have my character dressed up like the one which
- 2:07:13from The movie, The Crab, the craft, its that it says seen
- 2:07:19with the black hat and they get off the bus and the guys, like,
- 2:07:23you know, be careful about those weirdos out there.
- 2:07:26As she goes, we are the weirdos have that exact outfit on my
- 2:07:31character. I love the craft.
- 2:07:34This one of my favorite movies. Absolutely.
- 2:07:37Okay. So the reality is that not sexy
- 2:07:40hot girls not sexy. Okay so and this reality when
- 2:07:45you My Baba, Yaga. The people are spot on.
- 2:07:48When they talk about, you know, with his they, she is ugly, she
- 2:07:52is a crone, she lives in the woods and her story, like I
- 2:07:56said, I'm sorry, cousin Russia. And it's a very, very well known
- 2:08:00folklore from the area. So I'm not going to read the
- 2:08:06whole thing to you, but I don't want to summarize it for you.
- 2:08:11So it may sound a little familiar to most of you.
- 2:08:15Especially you Brittany. No I actually don't know a lot
- 2:08:18about her. No no but it will sound familiar
- 2:08:21to you just just way. Sure.
- 2:08:23So okay, yeah, I guarantee it. So the story, you know, starts
- 2:08:31out with, you know, dad and his wife and their two kids, sadly
- 2:08:38the mom dies and, you know, Dad he's like real sad.
- 2:08:43So he's at, you know, They're of few years.
- 2:08:47He's like you know what, it's not going to remarry.
- 2:08:50So he remarries and the stepmother that these kids get
- 2:08:57she's very, very jealous of the, the boy and the girl, okay?
- 2:09:04The son and daughter because, you know, the dad loves them and
- 2:09:09she was like I should be is all he would be loves right now.
- 2:09:12How dare you love anybody else? So I mean that happens in real
- 2:09:17life so I know it's terrible. Um, when I might like almost
- 2:09:23like messaging me, he was like live messaging me.
- 2:09:25This conversation, I overheard in a bar where this girl was
- 2:09:28trying to convince a guy to give up his children for her and he
- 2:09:33was just like I want to go over there and talk to him and I'm
- 2:09:36like either he's going to make the right decision or he's not
- 2:09:39but she crazy. So sometimes you want to like
- 2:09:43interviewing like yo bro, do you are you listening to what she's
- 2:09:46saying? I'm like, there's nobody in this
- 2:09:48world that would make me a bandit like what?
- 2:09:54No way. So so stepmother evil stepmother
- 2:09:59giving me Cinderella Vibes. Yeah.
- 2:10:02So she's you know, she's making him do chores and stuff saying
- 2:10:05that, they're not detroiters that they're doing.
- 2:10:07She like, she would tell me to do chores and the kids would do
- 2:10:09a perfectly. But at the end of the day, she
- 2:10:11would Go back to, you know, their dad and like your children
- 2:10:15suck at doing chores. They don't know what the hell
- 2:10:17they're doing. They everything is a mess again.
- 2:10:20Well well well and you know the dead wood so I don't know why
- 2:10:24but he somehow believed her and he's like well okay what do we
- 2:10:31do about the kids today? And she's like I have a great
- 2:10:34idea. So at first at first You know,
- 2:10:44she it's funny because the story I read it was like you know she
- 2:10:47calls to the kids and as soon as like she gets his idea in her
- 2:10:51head. The story starts calling them
- 2:10:53orphans as soon as she gets her as soon as she gets his ideas.
- 2:11:01No, no that's fine. Okay.
- 2:11:03Um, but I guess the bad dad, if he let her do all that horrible.
- 2:11:07Crap to though, I mean, here's a big kids are bad at chores on
- 2:11:14purpose. I literally these kids were not
- 2:11:17my friends kid and you can ask This teenager to do something.
- 2:11:26He'll do it. Like 75% of the way she is.
- 2:11:33Are, you know, just let it go. Hmm.
- 2:11:38So she could have been mad but I've been like, okay, well
- 2:11:41that's just children, get over it lady.
- 2:11:44Yeah. So shows the stepmother, she's
- 2:11:48like, all right, go to my grandmother's house who lives in
- 2:11:53the forest and you'll see, you can tell where she lives, okay?
- 2:11:57Because her Hut has chicken feet.
- 2:12:02Okay, okay, so we're talking about like proper witchcraft.
- 2:12:05Then Yeah. Wow.
- 2:12:09And you're going to live there. You're going to do everything
- 2:12:12that she wants to do. And then she'll give you sweet
- 2:12:14things to eat and you'll be happy.
- 2:12:17And you'll have to worry about coming back home because I'll
- 2:12:19take care of your dad. And, you know, you don't have to
- 2:12:22worry, you don't have to worry about you, she'll take care of
- 2:12:25you. Okay?
- 2:12:26That's what was going to happen. And then, the kids are like,
- 2:12:31okay I guess we got kicked out of the house, so What do we do
- 2:12:36now? So the sister daughter and she's
- 2:12:39like, you know what, let's go to our grandmother's house real
- 2:12:44quick, smart until so she goes our grandmother's house and they
- 2:12:48tell her what's going on and she's like, oh no, no, that's
- 2:12:54terrible. You guys have a very, very, very
- 2:12:58bad future. Coming ahead of you because the
- 2:13:01person you're like the house you're headed to its this house
- 2:13:03of Baba. Yaga.
- 2:13:04Wait wait. Wait Grandma you you're supposed
- 2:13:08to help me not let yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I was reading a
- 2:13:13story and I said the same thing. I was like, I can't know, the
- 2:13:19grandma only got one room. She got only got one bedroom.
- 2:13:22I try to get my freak on. I got to get my freak on things.
- 2:13:32I never thought I would hear come out of your mouth.
- 2:13:35Oh my God, I'm in a mood today. Okay, we both had a good day.
- 2:13:42So she know she wants and she's like, hey just here's what I'm
- 2:13:47going to do. I'm gonna give you some of these
- 2:13:48things and you take it with you. Just don't don't eat it though.
- 2:13:53So she gave him like a big slice of ham and like some milk and
- 2:13:56drink. So they, they drink their milk
- 2:13:58of it. You know, the boat, well blah,
- 2:14:00and she gave them cookies too. So, They get to the house is
- 2:14:05Baba Yaga. She meets him there.
- 2:14:07And it's like they had to call to the house because the house
- 2:14:10is up, apparently, sentient as well.
- 2:14:12Cool. So, yeah, they call it to the
- 2:14:15housing like, hey, house, turn around.
- 2:14:17So you can get inside of you because the house is like
- 2:14:19facing. I feel like if I have to sell
- 2:14:21the house turn around, that's like a very clear sign.
- 2:14:25Don't go in the tradition dealing with a witch.
- 2:14:29Like, I'm just saying, you know, there's some really cool stuff
- 2:14:32like in Magic together, There's like this cool card where
- 2:14:35there's like a house. That's like a monster.
- 2:14:38I don't play the game but I like the pictures and it's probably
- 2:14:43based off of probably and it looks very frightening and I
- 2:14:47just feel like if you have to ask permission to enter, you
- 2:14:50shouldn't be there in this sentient house that can eat you.
- 2:14:55This is very true. so they may meet a Baba Yaga she you know
- 2:15:04she comes out and she like she tells him she was like Hey I'm
- 2:15:07gonna Actually kids are like, hey are you know, certain mother
- 2:15:12send us here like this serve you so you guys you can feed us and
- 2:15:17you know, because the stepmother was barely feeding them.
- 2:15:22And Bobby. I was like, yeah.
- 2:15:24Okay, that's fine. Um, but hey, guess what?
- 2:15:26If you don't do these chores, exactly.
- 2:15:29The way they need to be done, I will eat you.
- 2:15:33When people in chores in Russia, this is it.
- 2:15:37I mean it's not well to be fair. My grandmother threatened me
- 2:15:40with stories of skinwalkers. So I mean, I guess it's just
- 2:15:46part of history that in ancient times.
- 2:15:49We just frightened children with stories of You're gonna die if
- 2:15:54you don't do this thing. Unfortunately, terrible
- 2:16:00horrible. Oh God.
- 2:16:03So the kids are like okay I guess this is some type of fare
- 2:16:10so you know I started doing chores with the chores or
- 2:16:12difficult like there's I mean there's simple tasks like, you
- 2:16:16know, clean the tub or okay or you know, you're sleeping and
- 2:16:21stuff. Like that and but they are
- 2:16:24difficult to do because this is a magical house and of course
- 2:16:28you know some Chichi, she wants to eat the kids.
- 2:16:33So this would be is perfect. This is a really cool story
- 2:16:37actually. So that helps the children to
- 2:16:41help its Master ghetto a meal. Yeah, basically.
- 2:16:47So, yeah. So the, which I guess you would
- 2:16:51call them some Yours because there are animals, they're rats.
- 2:16:55They're mice in the house and there's a cat in the house.
- 2:16:57Well, but also her, I guess her grounds are like scenting in the
- 2:17:04live to like her trees are alive and in the gate on our very
- 2:17:08houses life. Houseman Regal.
- 2:17:13Yeah there you go. There you go.
- 2:17:15Oh yeah, there you go. Yeah it's exactly like it can
- 2:17:19tow up in here. so, The animals like the mice were like, hey,
- 2:17:27you know, what will help you out because this this house is here
- 2:17:30to trip. You is a, here's your trick,
- 2:17:32you, okay. It's a trap house, not that kind
- 2:17:36of track Pals and, you know, the girl gives a nice cookies.
- 2:17:43And then they give the birds that are flying around her house
- 2:17:46crumbs, and then they give them hints on how to complete these
- 2:17:51tasks. And then, Talk to a cat like the
- 2:17:56single black cat that's living there and he's and he tells them
- 2:17:59how to like get to get away from Baba Yaga and she comes home
- 2:18:05that night and she's like who so you don't get yours, great.
- 2:18:09Guess what? You'll have even difficult, even
- 2:18:12more difficult for is tomorrow and if you don't get them done,
- 2:18:16guess what? That's right.
- 2:18:17I'm going to eat you. Um, Okay, so doing what the cat
- 2:18:24said to get away from Baba Yaga, the kids run away that night and
- 2:18:30like they have to they have to like get past like some trees
- 2:18:35that are trying to attack them. They try to get past like this,
- 2:18:37Rusty Gate, that would have woken Baba, Yaga whenever like,
- 2:18:43or a learn, learn Baba Yaga or some shit like that.
- 2:18:48And they like, they're very kind to these things that are trying
- 2:18:51to attack them and kill them. And When Baba Yaga comes home,
- 2:18:54she's like, yo, why did you guys stop them?
- 2:18:56And they're like, because they were nice to us.
- 2:18:59They actually cared about this and you you created us and guess
- 2:19:04what? You've been asshole to us this
- 2:19:06whole time and you have not taken care of us.
- 2:19:08You just let us rusting. Let me like not be pretty as a
- 2:19:12tree and stuff like that. And you never gave the cat food,
- 2:19:16like it was there just like and she's like Fuck.
- 2:19:21Okay, well that's all me. I I guess, absolutely, my bad.
- 2:19:28So she goes and chases after the kids and she can never find it
- 2:19:32because of something the cat told him, dude, I guess it was
- 2:19:36drop a towel. And there will be, there will be
- 2:19:41a river like a towel in a river will appear what a tell is
- 2:19:47dropped and also drop a comb behind you if you her coming
- 2:19:51closer to you and then a deep dark Forest will Sprout up out
- 2:19:56of the ground and she won't be able to pass through there.
- 2:19:58So they did all the stuff. She couldn't find them.
- 2:20:00She got pissed off. So she went home and she like,
- 2:20:02Fuck this, I'm going home. so, after that, The kids went home
- 2:20:11back to their dad so better than liking it so far.
- 2:20:19Yeah. Because we're going back to her
- 2:20:20dad and you know, they told him like, yo, dad, why'd you let her
- 2:20:25do this to us? And he's like, must have been
- 2:20:28blinded by love or some shit like that and then he sent, you
- 2:20:33know, stepmother away in and, you know, they live happy to
- 2:20:36happily ever after the yet. Yeah, that's a town Fabia.
- 2:20:40That was that's one of the Tails of her.
- 2:20:45And the children. Now there are other tales about
- 2:20:52her and her description kind of changes a little bit, not a lot,
- 2:20:59but so one thing that stays constant is that her house is a
- 2:21:07hut that is deep in the woods and it's very sentient and it
- 2:21:15Does have chicken legs growing out of the bottom of it so it's
- 2:21:18like, I don't like that part though.
- 2:21:20It's a chicken house. It's a house.
- 2:21:24Not should not a fan of that part.
- 2:21:28That's what they like is when I saw it.
- 2:21:30I was like it's just chicken is a chicken house, that's gross.
- 2:21:38Yeah. but um, like I said, she she Is not only like a child
- 2:21:47eating, oh cannibal which show actually she'll help people out
- 2:21:52as well if they do some trials for her and, you know, they're
- 2:21:57getting done right way and she will show, you know, Grant your
- 2:22:01wishes or whatever the fuck you want from her.
- 2:22:05Oh no babies. Don't do that.
- 2:22:08Just don't make deals with any sort of entity.
- 2:22:14Hey ghosts demons which it like listen, especially not a gin.
- 2:22:23If I just know I'm not going to my personal anyway just don't,
- 2:22:29don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
- 2:22:33I won't accidentally. So anime whole lives away.
- 2:22:38Whoops, It's a funny. So their tails that she that in
- 2:22:50the force, she rides around on like a giant mortar, and she
- 2:22:54uses a pestle to grind up the bones of the people.
- 2:22:57She eats makes sense. So she she rides I guess it's
- 2:23:04like it's not a sentient mortar but she somehow makes it like a
- 2:23:07move. Yeah, she's magic.
- 2:23:12Yes. Yeah.
- 2:23:13Which Powers? Yeah, no, that's a Harry Potter
- 2:23:18type crap. Okay, we do have a broom.
- 2:23:23So we are following some of the which Mythos, yeah, but she
- 2:23:27doesn't really right around sometimes but some and Other
- 2:23:30Stories she does ride on and use it to her.
- 2:23:33People. He okay so she she uses a broom
- 2:23:40when she's riding around on the mortar to sweep away her Trail.
- 2:23:43So nobody knows which way she's gone because they definitely not
- 2:23:47going to remember the way this lady like flew off.
- 2:23:52No, it's cute though, that's cute.
- 2:23:54That's kind of like it's adorable.
- 2:23:56Like There's no way you're going to remember the fact that you
- 2:24:00just saw me steal a child. So I'm gonna sweep sweep sweep,
- 2:24:05sweep the Dust Away. Oops.
- 2:24:07It's all gone. Now, that's kind of adorable.
- 2:24:13Yeah, and then she then she another story.
- 2:24:16She does fly around on her broom.
- 2:24:18Okay. Apparently, she has the power to
- 2:24:21like remove her heart. Her hands from her body to make
- 2:24:25them like Idle Hands. And like Go run around and do
- 2:24:29her bidding. Oh, wow.
- 2:24:32There's so much stuff in this story that I am feeling like
- 2:24:36the, like, they just borrowed from this and made other stuff.
- 2:24:41Everybody likes a word from. They just literally a movie
- 2:24:44called Idle Hands. Yes, about yeah.
- 2:24:48Obviously a phantom hand that is up to no good.
- 2:24:53Yeah. Possessed by the devil.
- 2:24:54It was some crazy like that. Yeah.
- 2:24:56It was a long time ago. That was in the 90s.
- 2:24:59Yes. But yeah.
- 2:25:00I mean and honestly the there's I mean High insulin Gretel dates
- 2:25:04back to what Grim, the Grimm fairy tales?
- 2:25:08What I mean, either everybody was just, you know, having a
- 2:25:11good time making mythology about kids being eaten, or they were
- 2:25:15kind of borrowing off of each other, because we've got Hansel
- 2:25:19and Gretel. We've got Krampus.
- 2:25:23Also eats children, Baba. Yaga also each children.
- 2:25:27I'm not This couple more from Europe, um, that's funny that
- 2:25:32you mention that, but yeah, there's there's is another.
- 2:25:35So I got this one off of Wikipedia, okay?
- 2:25:38It's, it's a, it's called a Yama Yama, Uber and is from Japanese
- 2:25:44folklore. They also eat in children as
- 2:25:48they. It's just like Baba.
- 2:25:50Yaga. It's a crone that lives in the
- 2:25:52mountains and she She has some very cannibalistic Tendencies.
- 2:26:03I will say this Baba, yaga's working harder.
- 2:26:05Not smarter, because the witch in The Brothers, Grimm story,
- 2:26:10just let them eat until they were too fat to get up.
- 2:26:14Yeah, and then a time she's like y'all got to keep my house up
- 2:26:18for me. Yeah, they say it's like you
- 2:26:19gotta clean or I'll let you if you do it, right?
- 2:26:24I'll let you go. And I'm like, no, don't give
- 2:26:26them options. I mean if you're doing a
- 2:26:28terrible thing, be solid with that.
- 2:26:34Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:26:38Baba Yaga. She's um, she's a complicated
- 2:26:40person. Yeah, you know.
- 2:26:44Um, but yeah, I do they want to talk about the gamma mu because
- 2:26:47she's so Not only was she just, like, Bobby I go with the, you
- 2:26:53know, Campbell in the stuff like that.
- 2:26:57Apparently is a tail. As I read, this is the tell
- 2:27:01about her. I guess helping somebody in the
- 2:27:05village. Give birth, right?
- 2:27:08And it was like in a mountain hut and is you know, this lady.
- 2:27:12She just stumbled upon there's like I gotta giving birth to my
- 2:27:15baby and the AMA Kuma Yama hooba.
- 2:27:22She, you know she was the skies at like, you know, a kind old
- 2:27:26lady. So when You know, when she gave
- 2:27:31birth when the woman gave birth to the child, she realizes.
- 2:27:36Oh my God this is gamma mu but no no this is terrible.
- 2:27:41And then she plans to eat the the baby.
- 2:27:46I guess that was birthed from the Baton from the lady in one
- 2:27:51story and then and Other Stories she raises the baby as her own
- 2:27:58And he becomes like a famous warrior okay?
- 2:28:02Which is yeah which is okay is that all right?
- 2:28:09I was reading it. I was like oh I mean I so got a
- 2:28:11child eater child stealer both both So, a little bit Baba, Yaga
- 2:28:21and a little bit Sleeping Beauty, not sleeping beauty.
- 2:28:25I'm the one with the long hair Rapunzel, a little Bobby Yonder,
- 2:28:29a little Rapunzel. Like, you know, because she
- 2:28:31stole that baby in capturing at our whole life.
- 2:28:35Yeah, this is very true. My God.
- 2:28:37They all overlap. Yeah.
- 2:28:41But yeah, it's funny because I saw like references to this Yama
- 2:28:46Uber. And I guess the, what do you
- 2:28:53call it? I don't know.
- 2:28:54You know, Jinx from Pokemon apparently is based off of that.
- 2:29:00Yeah, MOBA. Yeah.
- 2:29:02There's so many and I was like, oh that's awesome.
- 2:29:06Yeah, no, I can do a whole thing about Pokemon based off of late.
- 2:29:10Japanese folk. Oh, that was the one that years
- 2:29:13ago, people thought looked kind of blackface E.
- 2:29:16I forgot about Jake's, well, it had her, they did have her
- 2:29:20Blackwell not, because she's purple bit, you know, she's
- 2:29:24purple. And yeah, well, it's good to
- 2:29:26know that the Aces was just a young moo.
- 2:29:30Yeah, this is true. But yeah, it's funny because
- 2:29:35like all these all these stories and I understand it because I'm
- 2:29:40looking at a traditional photo of the yamuna and she does have
- 2:29:46giant white hair like yellow hair.
- 2:29:49Yep. And like Big Clip now, the
- 2:29:52outfits all wrong for the Pokemon but she's like big gowns
- 2:29:55and them looking at like a performance and someone wishes
- 2:30:00Mask and a big wig and like even at like the drawings of her from
- 2:30:04like older, she is a more Brown like a Browner skinned Japanese
- 2:30:10person. Yep, it's hard to say brown skin
- 2:30:13because it's not the same as like black people, but it is a
- 2:30:16darker complexion than average that they they draw here as
- 2:30:21Yeah. It's just, I don't know.
- 2:30:24I find it interesting. How all these other stories can
- 2:30:28maybe Sprout from just one single story to hell?
- 2:30:31All these these elements in them?
- 2:30:34You know what I mean? Like, well we don't want to take
- 2:30:36everything out of here but evil stepmother check doing chores
- 2:30:41all the time. Check Dad's dad's gone.
- 2:30:44Check. Yep.
- 2:30:45Cinderella which living in the woods.
- 2:30:50Check, that's all of them. She's always in the woods.
- 2:30:53Old Town children being stranded by their parents in the woods to
- 2:31:01for whatever reason, Hansel and Gretel, right?
- 2:31:05It's it's no, I think Hansel and Gretel.
- 2:31:08They were like Jews out being gluttonous.
- 2:31:11Well, there's no, no, no. There's other Tales.
- 2:31:15I think if you look at the grip, if you read the Grimm was, it's
- 2:31:17very different than Americanized version, but the definitely the
- 2:31:20story and the Americanized version is Stop being so much.
- 2:31:25That's you basically much like three children.
- 2:31:27Yeah. And they but followed they left
- 2:31:30a trail of breadcrumbs, right? And then they got to her house
- 2:31:34and like Heathens. They just start eating her
- 2:31:38house. How dare you?
- 2:31:41Just eat my home? Yeah, but I think in the real
- 2:31:46story their parents left him in the woods because they couldn't,
- 2:31:49I think they yeah I think their parents abandon them, but still
- 2:31:53they they were hungry so they just ate the first thing they
- 2:31:55saw. But then they didn't stop, you
- 2:31:59know, they kept going and going into which is like, oh well you
- 2:32:03want to eat. Haha, I'll fatten you up real
- 2:32:05quick. You go here, shove this in your
- 2:32:08mouth and they're like we want to go home.
- 2:32:10And there is no home is no home. Got it yet.
- 2:32:15I forget how that story ended in.
- 2:32:17If they went back to, I'm pretty sure they died in the original
- 2:32:20because in all the Grimm Fairy Tales, the kid always dies,
- 2:32:26Princess. And the Pea, not a p.
- 2:32:28It was a knife. She got stabbed.
- 2:32:30Hey, Like the Grim stories are always.
- 2:32:37If you do this thing, you will die.
- 2:32:39Here's an example of you doing the thing and died.
- 2:32:42They've died. Hey yeah.
- 2:32:44That's like solid the G, original fairy tales like there
- 2:32:48was no Happy Endings. Then we like Disney fide them
- 2:32:52and they got weird. And then from the disneyfication
- 2:32:56they changed again because people didn't like the Happy
- 2:32:59Endings. Right?
- 2:33:01Yeah, they made them into adult movies.
- 2:33:03Then. Yeah.
- 2:33:04Jimmy rated R movies. Yeah.
- 2:33:05There was a grim horror movie. Yeah.
- 2:33:10So it's yeah. That's what I got today.
- 2:33:20Yeah, yeah. Put a smile on my face.
